AN AMPHIBIOUS vehicle will return to Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock in time for the summer holidays.

Liverpool’s newest visitor attraction, Splash Tours Liverpool has arrived and will launch next week.

The eye-catching pink and blue amphibious vehicle will welcome its passengers on board at the Royal Albert Dock with a 60-minute land and water tour across Liverpool’s city centre.

Ed Lumley, co-founder of Splash Tours Liverpool, said: "I have been in love with Liverpool from a young age and it's been a dream for nearly ten years to bring our amphibious tours to this great city.

“We’re hoping that the Splash Tours vehicle will be a much-loved feature of Liverpool’s world-leading visitor economy for many years.

“I can’t wait to share our unique offering with the people of Liverpool and its visitors.”

Splash Tours Liverpool will launch to the public on Friday, August 2 2024 and run six tours daily from Wednesday to Sunday, taking in sights such as the Royal Liver Building, Liverpool Cathedral, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, and the iconic St George’s Hall, before returning to the world-famous dock with a splash, showcasing the sights of Royal Albert Dock, Salthouse Dock, Canning Dock and Wapping Dock.

Following seven years of design and development and months of in-depth testing and surveys, Splash Tours Liverpool is ready to share the excitement of seamless land and water travel with its passengers.

Andrea Barrett, partnerships and funding manager at Canal & River Trust, said: “It’s great that Splash Tours is the latest new tour operator coming to join the already thriving community of leisure craft – such as trip boats and floating restaurants - on and around Canal & River Trust’s water at Royal Albert Dock.”

Splash Tours Liverpool is operated by the Lumley family, headed up by father Graham Lumley, his son Ed and daughter Amelia, who have run a similar operation in Windsor since 2013.
