Activity Details

At the indicated time, we’ll meet at the Grand Café Henri Willig restaurant, located along one of Giethoorn’s canals. From there, we’ll board the boat that will take us on a ride through the Venice of the Netherlands.

During the journey, we’ll sail along narrow canals, passing under bridges while sharing fascinating details about Giethoorn’s rich history, culture, and traditions. We’ll talk about the village’s origins and the legends that surround it, adding a mystical touch to the tour.

The boats are covered, so you’ll always be protected. On summer days, the windows are opened so you can fully enjoy the sunshine; and on colder days, you’ll have a fleece blanket to keep warm.

In addition, on board you’ll be able to taste a delicious selection of Dutch cheeses. The perfect touch to relax and enjoy the views during the boat ride!

After 1 hour of sailing, we’ll return to the dock.
