Don’t miss out on the annual canal boat tour event! During the Amsterdam FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS (from November 30 to January 21, 2024), the city is illuminated by international light artists displaying their artwork throughout the city center.
Come and join us on this adventure. Get a first-class view and see the historic center of Amsterdam transforming into an open-air light art exhibition. All to be seen by boat.
The Festival of Light is one of the top 10 winter festivals in Europe
—The Guardian
We sail in a heated boat from 1928 with a silent electric motor. The ideal boat for exploring the canals of Amsterdam. The boat has heating, a toilet (a luxury), sunroof, sliding windows and outer deck. Want to sit outside, make sure you wear (warmer) clothes suitable for the weather.
See you soon on board!

This canal tour was exactly what it was described as and even better than expected. Captain Dave’s mulled wine, his history sharing and friendly style make this activity/experience a must-do for the canals. We saw the Festival of Lights. The directions we were given for meeting up for the tour were spot on. Having the canal experience in this special boat was awesome.
