Private boat tour for up to 6 people
Welcome to Giethoorn, the Venice of the North. Are you looking for a unique and relaxing way to discover Giethoorn? Would you like to rent a boat, but prefer not to sail yourself? Then opt for a private tour with an experienced local skipper
Our captains know Giethoorn like no other. They will take you to the most beautiful spots and the hidden gems of the village – places that most visitors never get to see. Moreover, you avoid the crowds and ‘traffic jams’ are a thing of the past.
Discover Giethoorn in 60 minutes
During this private tour, you will sail peacefully through the village canals of Giethoorn. Enjoy the view of characteristic farmhouses with thatched roofs, narrow waterways, bridges and shallow lakes.
The route through the village takes approximately 60 minutes and starts and ends at the same boarding point. Along the way, your skipper will tell you fascinating stories about the history of Giethoorn and life on and around the water.
Bad weather? No problem
If the weather does not allow open sailing, we offer you a comfortable covered tour boat. This way you experience the same beautiful route, but with a roof over your head.
Evening cruise through Giethoorn
Have you ever encountered Giethoorn in the evenings? The chance is small, because most of the visitors leave at the beginning of the evening. That is precisely when peace returns to the village.
During our exclusive evening tour, you will sail through an almost empty Giethoorn. You will hear birds singing again, see the villagers come out and experience the authentic atmosphere of the village. Our skippers proudly tell stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.
