Really nice canoe tour through Waterland in a small round! Beautiful insight into nature with some stops at cows and sheep. In addition, the stops were used to get information about nature and history. The organizer was super nice and did exactly what we hoped for. All in all a successful trip.
Peaceful paddling

We had a wonderful time canoeing through the islands. We learned about local culture and history, enjoyed a light snack and got to paddle peacefully through the Dutch countryside with a few other people. Saw ducks, geese, cows, goats, fish and more. Truly a peaceful paddle through a freshwater paradise. Loved it.
Beautiful experience in nature!

Very personal, super beautiful landscape and a great perspective on nature! Since the guide came directly from the town, you get a lot of information about the landscape.
Fantastic experience

Loved this canoe trip on a golden October day - 2 hours of blissfully quiet paddling through an amazing tranquil landscape filled with waterfowl, the occasional songbird and lots of vows and sheep. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we took enough breaks to rest the arms and learn more about the fascinating history of the Netherlands polders, water rights, ecology, and even some local apple cider and stroop waffles as a special treat. Can’t wait to be back next year when the five hour tour will be available again.
Perfect way to experience a village water way within 15 minutes of Amsterdam center

This was exactly what I was looking for. 2 hours in a canoe on the waterways of a small village just outside of Amsterdam. The host was lovely and the price was reasonable. There are no other tour providers in the area and the group is small. You truly feel like you get out of the city.
Wonderful time

Awesome weather, pretty village houses, a ton of information about the area, dams, canals and it's connection with nature. Up close encounters with curious local cows and sheep (they came to sniff our boats when we were having a break). We saw many birds and some hares and learned how windmills help canals.
Natural and educational, active canoe trip

Beautiful canoe trip through the wet countryside, with lots of nature and few tourists. Majel knew how to tell beautiful stories. Relaxed Mood, takes your time, each at his own pace through the water.
