Amsterdam Canoeing is one of our most popular outdoor activities. Visit the fascinating landscapes that inspired the famous Dutch painters.
Not all waters are suitable for canoeing, as shifts in water level and fast moving currents require skill to traverse. However in the still waters of canals, lakes and rivers, canoeing requires only basic skills, and is an exciting and engaging way of travelling through Amsterdam’s canals and surrounding countryside! Our experienced guide will provide you with some training on your canoe, and then you’ll be off on a comprehensive tour of local waterways. Our guides are passionate about Amsterdam and its natural surroundings, and love to share that passion with visitors!
