Overview

Discover the charming village of Giethoorn on a day trip from Amsterdam. Cruise through the village's canals on a private boat, explore the village on foot, and see the Afsluitdijk, a major dam and causeway in the Netherlands.

Climb aboard an air-conditioned Mercedes minivan with your personal driver guide and travel through a typical Dutch landscape for 1.5 hours en route to the picturesque town of Giethoorn. Continue to the Enclosing Dike (Afsluitdijk), the 32-kilometer dike connecting the provinces of North Holland and Friesland.

Admire the Afsluitdijk, built to tame what was formerly the Zuiderzee (now the Ijsselmeer Lake), and a prime example of Dutch water prowess.

Enjoy the peace and quiet of a town where cars are forbidden, and little has changed over the centuries. Cruise past the skillfully restored farmhouses on your own 2-hour private boat ride and get some free time for lunch and to explore on your own. Get tips from your guide on what to see and where to eat.
