About This Tour
What sets our tour apart is the personal touch, peaceful setting, and focus on quality. This isn’t a crowded, commercial cruise — it’s a private experience for you and your group (up to 8 people) aboard a stylish, comfortable boat with soft cushions and a premium sound system. Your local skipper knows the area and will guide you through the historic canals of Leiden and into the scenic, wide-open waters of the Kagerplassen. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the region’s history, nature, and hidden gems — from windmills and waterside farms to quiet islands and grazing cows. Bring your own snacks and drinks, sit back, and enjoy a relaxed and memorable journey through some of the Netherlands’ most beautiful waterways. It’s wise to dress in layers, as it can get chilly on the open water especially in the evening.
