3.Small-Group Guided Sunset Canoe Tour in Waterland with Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 4 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $96

Small-group sunset canoe tour in Amsterdam’s Waterland with guide Majel and a picnic dinner. Paddle wetlands, polders, and windmills.

“The tour guide Majel is highly professional, courteous, knowledgable, and on top of that very gracious! The excursion is well planned and the canoeing is through easy waters and charming scenery. Male's recent historical commentary really helped us to understand Dutch culture and landscape. The picnic supper is quite generous and the beverages before and after add a welcome touch and invite a sense of comradeship among the participants -- of whom there were three on our trip and the third is now a delightful new acquaintance of ours on Facebook. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a different perspective on touring in Amsterdam!”
