The Experience

Amsterdam Canals

As the most visited attraction in Amsterdam, our canals are a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for their beauty and historical significance.

The canals offer a mesmerizing journey through Amsterdam’s heart, with their unique 17th-century architecture, picturesque bridges, and vibrant energy.

There’s truly no better way to experience the essence of Amsterdam than by gliding along its legendary waterways.

Playful humor

With Captain Bas (Sebastian), your canal cruise transforms into more than just a boat ride; it’s an interactive adventure filled with captivating stories, playful humor, and fascinating trivia!
