Beautiful canoe tour at night - The canoe tour was a highlight of our Amsterdam holiday. Far away from the city hustle and bustle we could enjoy the evening in the beautiful nature on the water. The canoeing was a lot of fun and the picnic was very delicious. Just in time for sunset we have reached the starting point of the circular tour again. We took great pictures in the golden hour.

What an amazing way of finishing a work day :) - Amazing views, the food was delicious & we even petted a cow along the way :) The guide is very friendly and keen to tell us about dutch history & culture. I have lived in the NL for 4 years now and would definitely recommend this - both for tourists or residents. There were even a couple of dutchies in the group and everyone really liked the tour!

Wetlands Safari Canoe Trip Exceeded Expectations! - The canoe trip was a highlight of our trip to the Netherlands! It was wonderful to see the beautiful countryside. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The picnic was delicious with a bounty of delicious local products. We highly recommend this tour to other travelers.

a very special outing - This was easily one of the better "tour"s I've taken in decades of travel; the quotations intentional, as this was more like visiting a friend than a tour. You leave the hustle & bustle of Central Amsterdam behind, and a 6min metro ride & 8min bus ride later, you're in another world. Majel invites you to her home in a town of ~400 people, for a drink and a brief history/geography lesson, then off in canoes in the wetlands. Quiet, serene, beautiful - nothing but you & the birds. A country style picnic (cheeses, wine, fruit, bread) and some 2hrs+ of canoeing, then back on the bus. This was simply fabulous, and cannot recommend it highly enough, for anyone; slight caveat that there is some legitimate exercise involved, so is not a passive activity.

Highlight of my trip!!!! - The experience was amazing!! Amazing host and love every second of it!!! I ended up being the only one on the sunset tour and it felt like a private tour where we chatted about the history of the wetlands and its something I'll remember forever 😊

Experience not to be missed - Fantastic experience, would highly recommend getting out of the centre of Amsterdam to see the wetlands with Majel. She is a wonderful host with drinks at her home before and after the experience and very knowledgeable about the area and the nature within. Lots of fun canoeing despite being a novice, beautiful scenery, picnic was amazing and sun was starting to set by time we got back.
