Amphibia bus in Hamburg: Spectacular city tour ends in the water!

in Hamburg has been an exciting way since April 2016 to explore the city from the water and from the country: the HafenCity Rivverbus. This special amphibious vehicle promises a unique city tour, in which the passengers can enjoy both trips on land and on the Elbe. The tours start every day from 10 a.m. on Brook 2 in the Speicherstadt and offer a fascinating insight into the maritime tradition of the Hanseatic city. The journey takes around 70 minutes, with about 30 minutes being spent on the water.

The bus has an interesting special feature: it sinks into the water in half while driving and has to drive over a ramp that reliably brings it into the Elbe. Some of the most important attractions of Hamburg are passed on the route, including the second largest storm surge barrier in Germany, Billwerder Bay, the Holzhafen and even freshwater wattlands. Passengers can relax and enjoy during the tour, also because every trip is moderated by a cruise director that gives exciting information about the places seen. Of course, the journeys can vary depending on the weather conditions and water level.

tickets and bookings

The tickets for the exciting tour are available online. Adults and adolescents aged 15 and over pay 38 euros, while children from 5 to 14 years can ride for 28 euros. Incidentally, these prices also apply to the tours that always take place at a distance of about 90 minutes. A perfect opportunity to spend a relaxing day on the water with the family or friends.

The operators of Hafencity Ribverbus, Jan Peter Mahlstedt and Fred Franconia, have closed a gap in the Hamburg leisure activities with this innovative tour. This concept is similar to city explorations in cities such as Rotterdam and Lisbon. In order to ensure the safe booking and use of the web offer, the website is well secured in accordance with the data protection guidelines, for example IP addresses and system configurations are collected anonymously.

A look into the future

The popularity of the Hafencity Rivverbus suggests that this concept will continue to be very popular in the future. Especially during the warm months, the combination of urban experience and water trip attracts more and more tourists as well as locals. So if you haven't tried it yet, you should book a place soon - the adventure on and on the Elbe is waiting!
