    What To Expect

    Your Giethoorn Boat Experience

    Your adventure starts at our boat rental location, where you can use the restroom, park your car for free, and grab a snack or drink to take with you on the boat.

    Before you head out, our friendly team will give you clear instructions on how to operate the boat and share some tips on what to see in Giethoorn. Once you’re ready, you’ll set sail and follow the route using the navigation app we provide.

    You’ll have the boat for 2/3/4 or 6 hours, giving you the freedom to follow our suggested route through the charming canals of Giethoorn or explore the open lake at your own pace and enjoy the stunning scenery.

    As your time comes to an end, simply return to the boat rental, where our team will assist you with docking and getting out of the boat safely.

    If you have any questions or run into any issues while you’re on the water, don’t hesitate to give us a call—we’re always happy to help!
