1-Hour Rotterdam Sightseeing Splashboat Tour

Experience Rotterdam like never before on this unique amphibious tour that takes you through the city streets and onto the Maas River. This 1-hour adventure starts in a specially designed bus that seamlessly transforms into a boat, giving you two completely different perspectives of Rotterdam without changing vehicles.

Your tour begins in central Rotterdam, where you'll board the amphibious bus and cruise through the city streets. As your guide shares stories about Rotterdam's remarkable post-war reconstruction and modern architecture, you'll witness the moment when the bus drives straight into the Maas River. From the water, you'll see the striking riverfront skyline and get unique views of landmarks including the former RDM shipyard, the historic SS Rotterdam, and the city's impressive modern architecture along the waterfront.

The live commentary in English and Dutch brings Rotterdam's history to life, from its maritime heritage to its position as Europe's largest port. This tour offers an excellent introduction to the city, especially if you're planning to explore more Rotterdam attractions during your visit.
