The 8 most-booked south queensferry tours in Scotland. What each day actually includes, who runs it, and what you can expect to pay.
90-minute Edinburgh Three Bridges cruise with close Forth Bridge views, wildlife chances, and an optional stop on Inchcolm Island.
“Excelllent boat trip, sight seeing, guided tour and seals. We loved the bridges, castle and history around it. But for the lods seals were top of the trip!”
See the Forth Bridge up close on a 90-minute Firth of Forth cruise from Queensferry, with wildlife and onboard commentary.
“We had a lovely cruise on a sunny day. Excellent narration provided history and interesting information about the bridges. The captain and the mate spotted a seal sunning on a buoy. They stopped so we could take photos. Much appreciated.”
Edinburgh shore day: Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyrood photo stop, and Edinburgh Castle. Pickup and bus tour; attraction tickets extra.
“Really enjoyed our experience overall. Comfy bus. Free time at Edinburgh and Castle was good but Britanica visit was too short. All places worth a visit. Back in plenty of time for our ship.”
90-minute cruise from South Queensferry to Blackness Castle, Three Bridges views, Scottish stories, and wildlife like seals and porpoises.
“The bridges are beautiful and thrilling to sail underneath. The cream tea was a delicious bonus. The commentary was good but some inaccuracy and tgtthe captain was lovely but his comments were very hard to hear.”
Half-day catamaran sailing from Port Edgar to Inchcolm Island, sailing under the Forth Bridges with coffee and time at the helm.
“When I checked the weather for Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth I must confess I was concerned. However, the skipper and his crew were capable and confident under reefed sails - even to allow myself and another aspiring sailor opportunities at the helm. A lovely day on the water with all kinds of weather.…”
Full-day sailing from Port Edgar Marina past the Forth Rail Bridge, Inchcolm and Inchkeith islands, with a lunch stop.
“Colin and the crew were awesome and very personable! I loved being allowed to sail the boat for a few minutes.”
A private Edinburgh shore excursion with a local guide from Queensferry Port. Tailor your day, see the icons, and finish with a classic pub meal.
“Wonderful experience exploring Edinburgh! Our guide, Doug, was so knowledgeable and friendly and tailor made our excursion so that our entire group (mother and and daughters) was entertained and engaged!”
Private 90-minute South Queensferry walk with expert guide, bridges, Stevenson-linked inns, and the Forth ferry jetty at The Brinks.
“Marion took us back in time nearly 1,000 years and told us about King Malcom and his bride Queen Margaret. The South Queensferry first tier is so beautiful and she ponted out many interesting historic sites. We set the pace and she was fine with it. Would highly recommend!”
