About this tour

Note!

Please note that the departure and arrival pier for the meteor in St. Petersburg has temporarily changed. On May 9, 2025, until 13:30, the meteor will depart from and arrive at Pier No. 2 on Makarova Embankment, 28.
On May 9, 2025, some sections of the road will be closed due to the Victory Day celebrations. To reach the dock comfortably and not miss the cruise, it's better to leave home as early as possible and check the traffic conditions on the maps. You can find more details about the road closures here.
On May 9, 2025, there may also be communication issues on board the riverboat due to problems with connectivity in the city. For example, there could be interruptions in the audio guide broadcast or onboard communication.
On the way to Peterhof, the meteor makes an additional stop at Pier No. 2 on Makarova Embankment, 28, for boarding new passengers. There is a similar stop for disembarking passengers on the return trip. Your ticket allows for boarding and disembarking only at the 'Lion's Steps' pier, so we recommend that you remain seated during the intermediate stops.

By riding to the most popular suburb of St. Petersburg via hydrofoil, you get the opportunity to enjoy the city panoramas from the water and to admire the expanses of the Gulf of Finland, while spending a minimum amount of time travelling. It is better to spend extra time seeing a wonderful park, fountains and palaces. The hydrofoil to Peterhof will pass by the significant historical monuments of the city.

Our route

The boat leaves for Peterhof directly from the city center. The departure pier is next to the Hermitage. From there we will go through the city center towards the Gulf of Finland in the direction of Peterhof. Meteors from Peterhof to St. Petersburg depart from the end of the central alley of fountains (pier in Lower Park).

Our boat

We are going to Peterhof on the hydrofoil: a fast, snow-white boat with large panoramic windows.

Guest memo:

The ticket to the Lower Park is valid only once, you can not enter the ticket a second time. So it's better not to leave the Lower Park if you plan to return back on the hydrofoil.
When purchasing a ticket, please pay attention to the operating hours of the Lower Park: it works from 09:00 to 18:00.
If your ticket for the Lower Park specifies entry by schedule, please note that you can only enter within 2 hours from the time indicated on it.
On our website, you can only buy a ticket for the hydrofoil to Peterhof. In order to get to the park itself, you will need to purchase entrance tickets on the website of the GMZ Peterhof or in the ticket office on the pier.
