What fun this was! First of all I really enjoy canoeing. Second of all I really enjoy off the beaten path experiences in foreign countries. Bingo, double enjoyment. We took a public bus from near Centraal Station to the office where we met up with the others who would be our small group. We were then transported to the put... More

This was a great way to do something else beside exploring the city and we really would have missed out would we have not gone on this tour! Everything was great and it was the perfect way to see what... More

Canooing among the labyrinthic canals of the Amsterdam's countryside was an amazing experience! Majel is an excellent guide, with an impressive knowledge of the natural landscape, we really appreciate her explanations and also the food she brought was great! Absolutely go for it! More

Despite (or perhaps because of) the rain we had a great afternoon out with our team. Only 15 minutes away from A'dam Centre. Good fun, active and suitable for everyone! More

The Wetlands Safari canoe trip turned out to be one of the best birthday presents I have ever received. After a few days in busy Amsterdam it was lovely to find ourselves in a wetland area just a short bus ride from Amsterdam central train station. Very soon into the trip we found ourselves canoeing along high reed beds. The... More

I can't believe this tour is only at #6 on the list when we had so much fun! We were lucky that there was only 1 other couple on that day with our enthusiastic guide Majel, so we had really good interaction. Kayaking along the river/water ways is a unique way to move around and we saw many things that... More
