About this activity

See Amsterdam the way it was meant to be seen—gliding effortlessly through its stunning canals on a stylish open boat. No crowded sidewalks, no rush—just pure relaxation and breathtaking views.

With an expert captain doubling as your storyteller, you’ll uncover hidden gems, fascinating history, and fun local secrets—all while enjoying the freedom of an intimate, eco-friendly boat that takes you where larger boats simply can't go.

Choose your perfect starting point—either right in the heart of the city at Damrak Pier 5 (opposite Central Station) or steps away from the iconic Rijksmuseum. Seats are limited, so secure yours now and experience Amsterdam the way the locals love it.
