Have you ever faced the dilemma of choosing between sightseeing by land or sea? With Ocean Bus, you don’t have to choose. This tour lets you explore Stockholm in an amphibious bus that travels both on land and water.
Starting at Strömgatan 3, near the King’s Garden Park (Kungsträdgården), you’ll find the Ocean Bus parked and ready for adventure. The tour begins on land, taking you through some of Stockholm’s inner-city highlights, including Stureplan, Humlegården, Karlaplan, Dramaten, and the Diplomatic City at Djurgården Island where many of the embassies are located.
As you enjoy the sights, the energetic guide provides entertaining commentary, blending interesting facts with humor and snippets of music to keep the mood upbeat.
One of the most exciting moments comes when the bus approaches the water at Nobelstranden. The guide counts down, building anticipation before the bus makes a dramatic splash into Djurgårdsbrunnsviken. Expect a few refreshing splashes of water as you transition from land to sea – it’s all part of the fun!
Once in the water, the Ocean Bus transforms into a boat, cruising along the picturesque waterways of Stockholm. You’ll get a unique perspective of the city from the water, waving to passersby on the streets and other boats. The guide continues to share stories and details about landmarks you pass, many of which you can explore later on foot.
The guides are known for their high energy and efforts to create a lively atmosphere. They encourage interaction, inviting passengers to wink at onlookers as the bus with its shark grin rolls by. This playful engagement adds a special touch to the tour.
The whole tour will take roughly one-hour, and while it’s predominantly in English, the guides also use some Swedish. According to their FAQ, the language breakdown is approximately 80% English and 20% Swedish. Give or take. But don’t worry, you won’t miss any of the important or fun bits even if you do not speak Swedish.
The Ocean Bus can be a unique and fun way to see Stockholm’s sights. If you’re looking for a sightseeing tour that combines the best of land and sea, hop on the Ocean Bus. We think you’ll enjoy it.
