Cruise through Giethoorn with guide
The canal cruise through Giethoorn takes an hour. While enjoying a cup of coffee or tea, you sail through the narrow canals, between the old farms and over the lake of Giethoorn. Our expert guides will tell you all about the history of the village and point out the most beautiful spots. If you have foreign guests, the story can also be told in English or German.
However, if you want to sail for longer than one hour through beautiful Giethoorn, then a two-hour trip may also be possible. Our two-hour cruises first sail through the old center of Giethoorn and then through National Park Weerribben-Wieden. If you want to make this trip, you can submit a request. NB! the 2-hour tour only sails if you are with 10 people or more.
Cruise times through Giethoorn
We have several boats that all sail several times during the day. During the high season (Summer months + all weekends), the one-hour village tour departs on average every half hour between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM. If you want to take a cruise late in the afternoon, make sure you are with us before 4:00 PM so that you can always join the last cruise.

Electric Tour Boat
Since 2021, Rondvaart Zuideinde has had a fully electric tour boat. The tour boat has already transported many passengers silently through the canals of Giethoorn in the summer of 2021. In order to allow even more people to enjoy the benefits of an electric canal boat, an order was placed in the same year for the construction of a second electric canal boat. This new boat is expected to be ready for use before the summer of 2022.
