Paddan Cruise on River Säveån

4.6 105 traveller reviews

· Canal boat sightseeing along the Säveån.

The Paddan boats leave from Kungsportsplatsen and slip through the old moat that once protected the 17th-century town. From there the route opens onto the River Säveån, passing harbour cranes, warehouses and low bridges you duck under as the boat glides through. A guide on board narrates the whole loop, and the trip runs in most weather, rain or not.

from $40One adult seat on the boat; child tickets priced on the live listing. Check availability →

Electric Self-Drive Boat Tour

4.3 80 traveller reviews

· Steer your own electric boat through the Göta älv harbour.

You take the wheel yourself on this electric boat through the Göta älv and the central harbour, no licence needed. A short briefing covers the controls, then you glide out past the shipyard cranes and the opera house at a calm pace. There is seating for a small group, and the near-silent motor leaves you free to talk, picnic and take in the granite and red brick of the waterfront from the water.

from $92From-price is per boat, not per person; see the listing for details. Check availability →
