Beskrivning
Escape the city and discover a hidden side of Utrecht by canoe. Paddle through the peaceful waterways of Amelisweerd and along the Kromme Rijn, spotting local birds and enjoying local snacks.
Leave the busy streets of Utrecht behind and discover a peaceful hidden side of the Netherlands during this relaxing canoe experience through the beautiful nature of Amelisweerd.
After meeting your local guide, you will receive a short introduction to paddling and safety before stepping into your canoe. No previous experience is needed, making this activity perfect for beginners and casual adventurers alike.
Once on the water, you will slowly paddle along the scenic Kromme Rijn river, surrounded by forests, meadows, historic estates, and quiet waterways that many tourists never get to see. Along the route, your guide will share stories about Dutch nature, local wildlife and everyday life in the Netherlands.
Keep an eye out for local birds such as kingfishers, herons, cormorants, and buzzards while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere away from the city crowds. There will be several relaxed stops along the way to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and taste a selection of local Dutch snacks and drinks such as stroopwafels, apple juice, or seasonal treats.
This small-group experience is designed to feel personal, authentic, and slow-paced, giving you the chance to truly connect with nature and experience Utrecht like a local. After paddling back through the calm waterways, you will return refreshed, relaxed, and with a completely different view of the Netherlands beyond the typical tourist attractions.
