Canal Cruises in Giethoorn

Sit back, relax, and let our experienced local captain guide you through the most beautiful waterways of Giethoorn. Our 1-hour canal cruise is the perfect way to discover the village’s iconic thatched-roof cottages, picturesque wooden bridges and quiet reed-lined canals — without lifting a finger. Our heated electric boats with panoramic windows and comfortable seating mean you’ll be comfortable in any weather, year-round. The captain shares stories about Giethoorn’s unique history, points out hidden details you’d otherwise miss, and answers all your questions. With multiple departures daily and tickets starting at just €10, it’s the most-loved way to see Giethoorn — and the perfect introduction to the “Venice of the North”. Prefer to drive yourself? Try our self-drive boat rental, or book an exclusive private boat tour if you’d like your own captain.
