Amsterdam countryside private tour: the RondeHoep

Quick Details

Private Boat Tour Through the Amsterdam Countryside

Step aboard your private boat and escape the city with a peaceful and scenic tour through the beautiful Dutch countryside. This exclusive experience is ideal for a private group of up to 10 people, offering an intimate and unforgettable way to discover the landscapes just beyond Amsterdam.

We begin our journey on the Amstel River, cruising south toward the charming village of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. Along the way, you’ll enjoy classic Dutch views: historic windmills, tranquil polders, and wide, open skies.

After passing under the low Kerkebrug, we enter the calm waters of the Bullewijk, eventually reaching the beloved local restaurant De Voetangel, nestled in the heart of the green countryside.

Next, we continue into the Waver, a narrow and serene waterway with several charming, manually operated bridges. Guests are welcome to help open them — a delightful, hands-on experience that adds to the authenticity of your private boat tour.

The route leads us through the stunning circular polder of the Ronde Hoep, a unique natural area surrounded by water and full of birdlife and farmland. From there, we pass through Nes aan de Amstel before returning via Ouderkerk and back to Amsterdam.

This relaxed countryside tour lasts around 6 hours, depending on bridge openings, and is the perfect getaway for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy nature and history from the comfort of a classic private boat.
