Prices for bicycle transport
Depending on the type of boat and number of passengers, space on board may be limited. For this reason we cannot guarantee transportation of bicycles. Bicycles are not permitted on River Limmat boats.
If accompanied bicycle transportation is possible, you need to purchase an additional regular ZVV ticket (2nd class, discount prices) or an SBB day pass. The most cost effective way to travel locally with a bicycle is to buy a ZVV ticket. For longer distances, it’s worth buying an SBB day pass.

Special price Knies children's Zoo
It’s just a ten-minute walk from the landing stage in Rapperswil to the children’s zoo.
What could be better than combining the excursion with a boat trip? If you buy your zoo admission at the Bürkliplatz sales point or directly on the boat, you will receive admission at the group price (children aged 4 and over CHF 7 instead of CHF 9, adults aged 16 and over CHF 16 instead of CHF 23).
