Highlights
Your own boat, your own captain. Explore Giethoorn in complete privacy aboard our open VIP sloop, a quiet electric boat for up to 12 guests with deep cushions and warm blankets. While your local skipper steers and shares the stories of the village, you sit low on the water, glide under the little wooden bridges and hear only the birds. This is a private tour: only your group is on board, and the price is per boat, not per person. Choose one hour through the village canal, or two hours to add the wide open Bovenwijde lake. The route is agreed with your skipper on the day, so you can linger where you like. Bring your own drinks and snacks; there is a cool box on board. Ideal for a proposal, a birthday, a family outing or simply a relaxed way to see the village without having to steer yourself.

About Leeuwarden
Leeuwarden is the capital of Friesland in the north of the Netherlands, a canal town with a leaning tower, a ceramics museum and the Wadden Sea near.
Leeuwarden, or Ljouwert in Frisian, is the capital of Friesland, the province in the north of the Netherlands with its own language and traditions. Canals ring the old centre, where brick merchants' houses and narrow streets surround the Oldehove, a church tower begun in 1529 that was never finished and leans noticeably.
