Glasgow Landmarks on This Boat Trip

This family-friendly boat trip on the Clyde offers unbeatable value - sightseeing from the best seat on the Clyde, a sweet treat, and one of the most memorable experiences you can book in the city.

Why guests love this trip

It’s a great mix of sightseeing and doughnuts - you’ll see Glasgow from the water, then stop at Krispy Kreme Braehead to watch the doughnuts being made fresh on the production line before heading back along the Clyde.

Wildlife spotting

Keep an eye out for seals along the River Clyde - they’re often seen near the Govan Graving Docks, an area only accessible by boat. You may also spot cormorants, herons, salmon, and other local wildlife during your ride. 🦭

We celebrated my daughter’s 12th birthday. Booking was easy and flexible, and the equipment was new and well-maintained. The experience felt relaxed and unhurried. A brilliant activity in Glasgow for locals and visitors alike.

What a great experience. The “Donut Run” was the perfect amount of time. Iain, our boat driver gave lots of info about the Clyde and the buildings that lined it.
