No Visit to Scotland is complete without a tour of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The Firth of Forth is simply overflowing with myths, turbulent history and fascinating marine wildlife. Join Forth Boat Tours on a 90-minute cruise on board one of their superb vessels.
The cruises depart from South Queensferry, which is only a short distance from Scotland’s bustling Capital City of Edinburgh, and each year our friendly and professional crew entertain thousands of visitors on our award winning cruises.
Bus and Cruise
Take in the sights across Edinburgh from the comfort of their comfortable double deck bus, with audio commentary along the way, as you venture out towards Queensferry.
Once there, enjoy unrivalled views of the iconic three Forth Bridges created by the engineering powerhouses of their time as you embark on a journey with Forth Boat Tours before heading onwards to Inchcolm Island.
Tour Highlights:
Unique experience:
Let them take you on an unforgettable journey, combining bus and boat – and sightseeing and a touch of adventure – as you get up close to the three iconic forth bridges that connects the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh with Fife.
Unrivalled Views:
Sit back and relax and take in the views of the city, the Forth and the Kingdom of Fife from a unique perspective – by both bus and boat! You depart from the heart of the city centre, before enjoying the scenic journey to picturesque Queensferry. They’ll transfer you straight on to Forth Boat Tours for their tour under the bridges and along the Forth River for a unique perspective of this UNESCO world heritage site, with plenty of opportunities to see a seal or two along with other marine wildlife as you circle Inchcolm Island, which once housed more than 500 soldiers during both world wars as part of the ‘Fortress Forth’.
On-board commentary:
They bring the tale of Edinburgh to life with our on-bus commentary, and we’ll entertain and educate you as you set sail for your tour by boat along the Forth River.
