Prefer a private tour?
For those who want a truly personal experience, our private boat tours give you exclusive use of a captain and a boat for the entire duration of your trip. No fixed departure times, no other guests on board, no fixed route — just you, your group, and Giethoorn at your own pace. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, travelling with elderly family members who need extra comfort, or simply want the most flexible way to see the village, a private boat tour is the most personal way to experience the canals of Giethoorn. Choose between our open-air boat for sunny days or our covered boat for any weather, and let your captain craft a route around your interests. Looking for something different? Try our self-drive electric boat, join the daily guided canal cruise, or add a snack and drinks package to make your day complete.
