What else is on at Forth Boat Tours ?

Sit back and relax on a river cruise of the Firth with Forth Boat Tours

Explore a UNESCO World Heritage site while listening to expert commentary and treat yourself to a beverage or a snack from the onsite bar and café. Be sure to keep an eye out for some of the marine wildlife of the area, including seals, puffins and if you're lucky, even a porpoise!

The tour will be centred around the iconic Three Bridges; The Forth Bridge, The Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The views also include beautiful panoramas of Edinburgh's skyline to the South and views of the islands of Inchcolm, Inchgarvie, Inchkeith and Inchmickery to the North. 

Guests are welcome to enjoy the sea breeze and views from the outside decks. If the weather is less inviting, the observation lounge has fantastic views.

A guided commentary means you won’t miss a thing wherever you sit. And, of course, you will get to see the Three Bridges as you have never seen them before.

The Three Bridges Cruise lasts for 90 minutes and is a round trip

You will be able to see Inchcolm Island on this tour, but we will not be landing on it on this specific tour.

The boats are not specifically designed for disabled access; however, wheelchair users and people with limited mobility can still board. 
There is disabled parking at the promenade, close to the Hawes Pier. 
There is a wheelchair ramp which can be used at certain tide heights. 
There is no disabled toilet, although people with limited mobility do use the toilets on board.
Certain tide heights allow easier access to the boat (not as steep an incline on the gangway). They are safer and more comfortable for wheelchair users.
