Travel along the Ría de Bilbao and the Bay of Abra comfortably aboard a tourist boat, while exploring their monuments. You'll also be able to get on and off the boat as you please throughout the day.
Santurtzi Tourist Boat Tour
The tour boat trip starts at Paseo de la Reina de Santurtzi. From there, the traditional boat will set sail and for approximately two and a half hours, you will have the opportunity to sail along the Bilbao Estuary and the Abra Bay.
The boat, with interior and exterior seats, will offer you incredible views of iconic places such as Getxo Bay, the Portugalete Suspension Bridge, the Deusto Canal and even the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
Not only, but with your tourist boat ticket you'll be able to get on and off the boat as often as you like to get to know each place more intimately, such as the beautiful town of Getxo, visit the Suspension Bridge or see the San Mamés stadium or the Begoña Cathedral in Bilbao - a must on your trip to the north of Spain!
How does it work?
The ticket is valid for 24 hours. During this time you can get on and off the tourist boat as many times as you like and from any of the ports on the route (Bilbao, Getxo, Portugalete or Santurtzi).
