Landmarks, History & A Bus That Drives Into the Water! 🚤🚌🌊
There’s no better way to experience Ottawa’s iconic landmarks than from the Ottawa River—but what if we told you that you might see a bus drive straight into the water while you’re at it?
That’s right! Ottawa’s Lady Dive Amphibus is one of the city’s most unique sightseeing experiences, giving passengers a land-and-water tour of over 75 attractions in both Ottawa and Gatineau. And if you’re on a Palapa Tours Floating Tiki Boat, you’ll get a front-row seat as this bright red bus makes a splash into the river!
