Sightseeing tours of the Firth of Forth, Inchcolm Island and the Forth Bridges from South Queensferry, Edinburgh

Sunset Cruise of the Firth of Forth

Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 July to 28 August 2008 - See Timetable

A relaxing summer evening Sunset Cruise aboard the Forth Belle offers simply magical views of the Firth of Forth.

Relax on board with a drink from the bar as you take in the view of the Forth bridges against the setting sun - the perfect ending to your sightseeing day!

We sail out into the Forth, passing some of the smaller islands where you'll get a chance to see many seabirds including puffins taking home their last catch of the day. Inquisitive porpoises and seals will sometimes surface and follow on beside the boat.

Although sightings are rare; dolphins and killer whales (orcas) have been spotted quite recently in the Firth of Forth. You never know what you might see!

There are lots of other marine activities to look out for; from giant-sized oil tankers, naval and cargo vessels to smaller yachts and dinghys - there's always something moving in the Firth of Forth.

Just don't forget to bring your camera!
