My bike and kayak tour was a highlight of my time in Amsterdam. The trip was a great way to get out of the city and get an up close view of the surrounding region (and get in some exercise too!). Tristan was a fun and welcoming guide and very easy to talk with about all things Amsterdam. Would highly recommend this tour to all who have the chance to experience it. 😊

Very nice experience

Daniel_K, Sep 2023

Extremely nice guide. All was prepared and we definitely enjoyed our time. Cycling and Kayaking is a nice combination. Even the way back was different from the way to kayak location what we found very nice.

5 out of 5

Rona_W, Aug 2023

Tristan’s a brilliant tour guide; really warm and friendly. We had a great lunch and a beautiful relaxing kayak through the wetlands. Tristan made us feel like we were in safe hand’s throughout the trip. 5 out of 5 stars!

Great bike & kayaking tour,

Beth_J, Aug 2023

Tristian our guide was fantastic. Bikes & kayaks were great. Had a great ride & paddle. Great way to explore Amsterdam. Lunch was delicious too. We highly recommended this bike tour.

Unseen part and explore local Amsterdam place.

Kip_B, Aug 2023

This is the best Amsterdam nature explore experience for me. I’ll do it again for sure. Recommend you to try :)

The best countryside tour out of Amsterdam

Joleen_S, Aug 2023

100% recommended for a peaceful and beautiful escape from the city (and some exercise). Tristan brought us through secret hamlets and magical mashes…such a special experience. Everyone loved all the interactions with animals too! A must do for families with bike-confident kids.

Magical

Antonio_G, Jul 2023

It was really magical: the city suddenly disappears and then reappears in the end, while in between you are cycling and kayaking immersed in a beautiful countryside in a nice small village, surrounded by animals and nature. Tristan is a very good guide in this beautiful tour providing interesting information and, of course, the cheese tasting and the lunch. I really recommend!

Fun and peaceful day trip

Julie_H, Jul 2023

Tristan was a wonderful guide to explore the countryside! He took us on many different bike paths, made us a delicious lunch including a great cheese tasting, and then led us on a kayak adventure through some of the quieter canals of Watergang. Such a fun and relaxing way to see some of the Dutch countryside! Thanks for a great day!!

Great tour!

Matti_K, Jul 2023

The Tour was great fun. The pace was good and the guide did a great job in making sure that everyone was able to enjoy it!

Great diversion from crowds

Sarah_H, Jul 2023

Our family had a wonderful time with our guide Tristan. We had an easy-meet up and the were able to quickly get out of center city and enjoy the more quiet countryside. The biking was flat & easy. The kayaking was also easy & relaxed and was a great way to spend the afternoon.

A unique countryside experience

Joseph_P, Jul 2023

What a great day to spend biking and kayaking. The small group setting made even better. After lunch, we got to know each other better making the kayaking portion of the day even more fun. Great guide too. Rain or shine, this on one experience you don't want to pass up.

A genuine guide Tristan has given me an amazing experience kayaking through Watergang village.

LingLing_C, May 2023

I am grateful that Tristan took me on the private tour starting with biking an hour from Amsterdam to Watergang village. Stop for a picnic lunch with a cheese platter and chicken wrap. Seeing Watergang village from the kayak gives a different perspective view. We manage to get through the lowest bridge, then come to an open area, I was relaxing while he was paddling hard :) On the way back, we fed Tristan 2 "friends" (goats). The weather was just perfect for the outdoors. It is such a cool experience. This trip is a highlight of my whole travel journey. Tristan is a knowledgeable and genuine guide. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family. You won't be disappointed.

Netherlands beyond Amsterdam on bike and kayak - an excellent day out!

Dick_D, Apr 2023

It was so great to experience the Netherlands beyond Amsterdam. We got to see the countryside on bike and at water level in a kayak. The ever present Dutch wind made the ride out to Watergang in the morning a bit of a workout even though the route was flat (except going over bridges), but the wind helped us zip back to Amsterdam on the return trip. We also had to dig deep with our paddles when we went into the wind on our kayaks, but it was so cool to see the wildlife, plants, and mini windmills from water level. It was a slightly cool day, so no one else booked the day that we went in mid-April. Whoever made that call missed out, but we lucked out in getting our terrific guide Tristan all to ourselves. He was friendly, chatty, and informative. It was the first time in a long time since we last rode a bike, but we were so glad we booked this excursion.

Thristen was a...

Shlomi_I, Sep 2022

Thristen was a professional tour guide. He was very helpful and made our day great fun. Everything was smooth and we felt safe and in good hands.

Best tour of a two week vacation! Bike & Kayak

Frieda_T, Jul 2022

We were led out of the city on a quiet and beautiful bike (paved) bike trail to a picturesque area of the countryside where we kayaked the rural canals. Fantastic!

Highlight of my trip!

Belyn_N, Jul 2022

DO THIS!! It was so fun and the guide was so nice! He was informative about the area we’re we’re in. It’s a great way to get out of the city and do something active. I was nervous about biking but it was so easy and not busy at all because we got out of the city. Kayaking was amazing and the cows were SO cute. It was an amazing tour and I will 100% recommend this to anybody visiting Amsterdam.

A Unique Amsterdam Experience!

Nora_B, Jul 2022

Ontspannen subliem een aanrader voor natuurliefhebbers en dieren.

Bram_V, Sep 2023

Vanaf het begin tot rinde tour was het zeer aangenaam. Je komt direct tot rust.zeer goed initiatief om zo iets te doen dan heel tijd in de drukte van de stad in Amsterdam. De gids Tristan was zeer ook zeer aangenaam om mee de tour te doen. Was voor alles voorzien. Bvb. Hij had zonnecreme mee en was wel nodig. De tour dat hij met ik en mij maat deed was niet te lastig en pas hem aan wanneer wij even wouden genieten van de dieren en de rust. 1 kleine opmerking misschien achter de kajak ergens een toilet in de buurt. Het eten was ook meer dan voldoende. Tristan doezovoort chapeau!

悠閑既單車、獨木舟體驗

Shannon_Y, Aug 2023

我地既導遊 Tristan 係個金髮藍眼高大既荷蘭仔。去程既途中我地踩單車感受住荷蘭馳名既大風（好L大風)，經過荷蘭風車，迷你petting zoo，渡輪，大大片既草原，等等。。。 Kayak 前Tristan攞左一大盤荷蘭芝士拼盤同自製chicken wrap比我地食，正一煮家男人！獨木舟比想象中長。如果太吃力（特別係我地完全無經驗），Tristan會教我地掌握技術、調整行程。途中仲有牛牛，山羊同你互動添。回程會踩單車經過唔同既景色，一路傾下計，學下對方既語言，唔會悶。Tristan知道我未試過荷蘭人最愛既herring, 仲特意加一站 - 帶我地去local都會去既海鮮檔食herring。行程大概5個鐘頭，返到最初既起點散band。玩到個人都散曬， 5/5。
