Amsterdam Light Art Tour Boat Tour - Small-Group Luxury Cruise

1 hour 30 minutesFree Cancellation

Member Pricing

Being on the water on a canoe is a great relaxing experience and a great way to explore the hidden gems of Amsterdam East. The areas we will paddle are quite on the water, especially in the morning. We'll take it easy, young and old will be able to keep it up. There is a speed trap somewhere along the waterway, I'll challenge the restless among you to have a go! There's no need to fear to get a wet suit, but of course you cannot prevent some splashing drops your fancy shoes. Don't wear your best shoes & pants, don't bring laptops and other things that don't particularly like water. There will be dry bags to put some things, but better safe then sorry. The ending point is a small swim spot for locals, feel free to hang out after our tour!

Are guided Amsterdam tours on the water worth it?

Yes, guided Amsterdam canal tours are well worth it. Guides will share stories and insights about the city's UNESCO–listed canals, from Golden Age merchant houses to architectural details you'd likely miss on your own. Tours handle all logistics—departure points, routes, and commentary—and many include drinks and snacks.

Per one customer who booked the Amsterdam Classic Saloon Boat Cruise with Drinks and Cheese, "We absolutely loved it. The crew was friendly, the boat comfortable, and the wine and cheese aplenty. The tour was entertaining. Lovely way to spend part of our afternoon. We had a beautiful day, but chose the covered boat in case of rain."

What should I know before booking Amsterdam tours on the water?

Before booking, check what's included: many tours offer unlimited drinks, Dutch snacks, or cheese tastings, while others keep things simple with just commentary. Consider boat and group size; opt for a smaller boat for a more intimate onboard experience or a larger vessel for more stability and protection from the elements.

Dress in layers—Amsterdam’s weather can be unpredictable, and even covered boats can feel chilly on the water, especially during evening cruises. Arrive a few minutes early to snag the best seats with optimal views of the canal houses and bridges. Don't hesitate to ask your guide questions about Amsterdam's history, architecture, and local recommendations—they'll be great sources for hidden gems and dining spots to explore after your cruise.
