Couldn’t recommend this trip enough. Boat was great, staff extremely helpful, informative commentary, brilliant views - what’s not to like.
We got off on the island for 90 mins which is well worth the extra £7.50 each. You get full access to the Abbey, toilets, fortifications, gift shop etc. read the reviews though and if you have to go in May like we did you may be put off by the aggressive gulls if you leave the immediate vicinity of the Abbey.
One the boat trip we saw seals and puffins which was a real thrill. The views of the three bridges was also awesome.
One we’d thing, check the prices on the Virgin experiences website.?We booked through that paid about £14 less

We booked this tour primarely for the bridges, however the entire harbour, marine life seeing the coast line form the water was incredable!
The cost of this trip is a real value for your money.. we even saw Puffins!!!!

Staff were amazing so friendly and pointing out other places to go and things of interest.
My Grandson had a fab time even spotted a seal 🦭 😀
Would definitely recommend this and plan on going again but with a stop off at the Island.

Really nice! They crew was really amazing!
Especially when they tell you when to get your cameras out to take pictures of seals and some amazing views. It was worth every penny. It is not just a cruise but a guided tour so they talk about where you are and what you see. I highly recommend!

About 10-15mins walk from Dalmeny station. All the staff from the guy in the kiosk to the crew on board were friendly and helpful. The boat trip was really good and the captain slowed down and gave us a chance to photograph wildlife when he saw it. Puffins and seals were great and we also saw a pod of dolphins so really pleased. The bridges were a great view close up as well and we tied it in with inchcolm island as well. Not overbooked as well which gave you the opportunity to see both sides. Would recommend and have done

We thoroughly enjoyed the boat cruise, would definitely recommend booking it. The crew were very friendly and constantly pointing out wildlife and passing on the history and facts about places, the bridges, etc.
It was a great experience to see the 3 bridges from a totally different view point

What a great day! Very easy train ride from Edinburgh, beautiful walk through the woods on a path, nice tour on the boat and a beautiful little town! We really enjoyed this cruise. The Scottish lad wearing the ELVIS belt buckle was a treat. He was funny, knowledgeable and personable to everyone. We saw sea lions, gulls, but I don’t know for sure that we saw any puffins. The speaker was harder to hear in the back of the boat due to the engines, but you’re free to move about to find the best spot for you.
