5-hour Amsterdam wetlands canoe trip in North Holland with birdwatching, a guided reed safari, island picnic stop, and windmills.
“My son and I really enjoyed this trip. Majel is very hospitable and knowledgeable about the Dutch wetlands. You start and finish at her waterside home and she brings a picnic lunch with her to eat on the trip (it was really delicious!). The canoeing itself was very gentle - suitable for all abilities I think. Very nice that we were a small group of six in three canoes. Highly recommend!”
