The experience was amazing!! Amazing host and love every second of it!!! I ended up being the only one on the sunset tour and it felt like a private tour where we chatted about the history of the wetlands and its something I'll remember forever 😊

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.

We were quite pleasantly surprised with the tour. We received a very warm welcome from the host, together with a nice introduction for the day ahead! The facilities and quality of boats were great!
Once we started the trip, we were well equipped and guided through the waterlands in the North of the Netherlands. The host taught us a lot about the area, the history thereof, a lot of fun facts and interesting things to realise.
The picnic was an amazing experience! She really pulled out all the stops and made it an amazing experience. There was a large variety of food and it was very delicious!

I would do this experience again, because it was a phenomenal experience. Top notch host and a great thrill-seeking, adventurous and intimate experience.

This was an amazing experience; our favorite night while in Amsterdam. Majel was very welcoming and knowledgeable of her village and the surrounding waterways. The picnic was delicious, fresh, local and healthy. Absolutely recommend this trip.

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.

Our favorite part of our Amsterdam trip!!

Majel is an absolutely wonderful guide. Her friendly and easy going nature, along with her knowledge and passion for the outdoors made this such a fun outing. Majel's explanation of the history and ecology of the areas we paddled through helps you understand the required water management balance that makes life in the Netherlands possible.

The small village of Watergang is incredibly cute with much of the tour in the small canals behind the neighborhood houses. The paddling is easy and Majel is very patient with inexperienced canoers. We saw all types of cows, birds, flowers and plant life. The picnic lunch was plentiful and yumm - cheeses, breads, crackers, fruits, veggies and more.

Highly recommend as a wonderful way to get out of the city for casual exploring and learning about the unique ecosystem of the Netherlands!

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.
