Sailing in Giethoorn with children

When you think of Giethoorn, everyone thinks about boating. Not for nothing is this the highlight for everyone who puts on Giethoorn. When you come back from a day on the water you have completely recovered and relaxed. For children, boating in Giethoorn is also super fun and they will talk about it years later.

Did you know that you can do various games together with your children when you are in a whisper boat in Giethoorn. How about counting the number of bridges. Or count the number of ducklings in the canals. Which is also nice to make a bet with Dad how often he comes across the boat against the side. It’s not more fun than you winning dad’s bet and after sailing he can treat you to a delicious ice cream.

You can rent a boat as early as 2:00 hours. In those two hours you can sail quietly through the canals, through nature and across the lake. When you are with small children, in many cases two hours is more than enough. Are you with older kids it is nice to rent a boat for the whole day. You will then have the opportunity to sail a different route, go for a swim and have a picnic somewhere. If you have children who do not have a swimming certificate, you can ask at the boat rental if you can borrow a life jacket there.

About the bridges together with your children
