Boat Trips and Boat-Hiking

Boat Trips and Boat-hiking

When one know that Bohuslän consists of 3 000 islands, 300 km of coastline and deep fjords, one quickly realises the convenience and beauty of travelling by boat. The seaside resort era in the late 19th century started the tradition of passenger boats and it has continued ever since. During the summer there are boat trips departing from almost every coastal village. Some are recreational, such as the seal safaris and the night time prawn cruises, fishing and scenic tours. There are also daily boat trips connecting the villages, as well as certain islands that do not have a regular ferry connection. Since every boat makes a number of ports on its route, the absolute easiest way to grasp it all is to contact the local tourist office for details. The trips may vary slightly from day to day but the tourist offices have the daily schedules and also sell the necessary tickets.

With a bit of patience, these conditions offer a perfect opportunity to tour the province by boat. Any tourist office in the province will gladly help you as well as make the necessary room reservations, i.e. hostel or private rooms. From Bleket on Tjörn you can take Gunnars Boat Trips to Marstrand, Kyrkesund and Mollösund. The "Mary Josefina" departs Ellös on Orust Island. She has various trips on her agenda; the Gullholmen and Käringön islands as well as seal safaris. When she cruises the narrow Malö straits, she makes port at Bassholmen and Flatö. The "Byfjorden" leaves Uddevalla for trips to Käringön calling at Bassholmen, Lysekil, Gullholmen and Henån on the way. On alternate days it brings you to Smögen, after stopping at Bassholmen and Lysekil.
The Nolhåtten offers trips from Hamburgsund, including prawn cruises and seal safaris.
