Want to experience something unique in Gothenburg? Then a tour with an amphibious bus – also called Ocean Bus Gothenburg – is one of the city's most popular sightseeing experiences. Here, a bus and boat are combined in one and the same vehicle, allowing you to see Gothenburg from both land and water during the same tour.
The Ocean bus / boat takes you past several different sights in Goteborg, such as Poseidon at the top of the main street Avenyn, past Gustav Adolfs Square, past the Fish Church (Fiskekyrkan) and when going in to the water the boat goes all the way under the Älvsborg bridge (Älvsborgsbron).
The amphibouse bus is inspected twice a year both as a bus and a boat. It is certified by the Swedish Transport Agency. For you who are interested, the buss is built on a Volvo chassis. Safety inside the bus are life jackets, lifebuoys, a life raft, emergency rockets and fire extinguishers.
