Visiting Amsterdam on holiday? Need a respite which will actually feel relaxing, fulfilling, and ideal for setting a calming or romantic mood? Hiring your own boat for a few hours is a picturesque way to see the city from the water. It is also one of the most relaxing things you ever do in your life… provided that you don’t crash.
FYI some boats have inverse steering. You’re welcome.
This tour literally gives you a quick guide on using the boat, hands you a map of Amsterdam, and politely requests that you return in two house. There are 3 separate pick-up locations around the city where they can meet you. Each boat can hold up to 8 people. The boat comes with a cushioned area for seating, a single paddle, and life jackets but only for the kids. There is also a light on board, should you be mad enough to try paddling an Amsterdam canal in the dark.
This tour is not wheelchair accessible. The boats are not large enough.
