About this activity
A pedal boat in Amsterdam lets you cycle your way through the city's iconic canals at your own pace. You'll steer your boat for one hour, choosing between your own route or one of four marked paths that highlight the most beautiful spots. The pedal boat fits up to four people, making it perfect for families or small groups who want a more active take on a classic canal experience. You're in control—go fast, go slow, or just enjoy the views from the water. It's a fun way to see Amsterdam's waterways differently, whether you're exploring on your own terms or following a guide's suggestions.
