How do I find contact details for boat tour operators in Giethoorn?
If you would like to discuss something first (for example accessibility, pets or group options), there are three ways:
- Check the operator page of the boat tour or location you want: it usually lists the address and telephone number (as for Koppers Giethoorn).
- Call for tailor-made tours or groups: for group boat tours (10 or more) you can contact our information point by telephone on +31 (0)521 360 099.
- Book online and reply to your confirmation if you have further questions: your booking is then your reference straight away.
Where can I book boat tours in Giethoorn online?
You can book online directly via our booking links. These are the options:
- Giethoorn boat tour (1 hour), through the historic village and across Lake Bovenwiede: Book the Giethoorn boat tour.
- Weerribben-Wieden boat tour (2 hours), more extensive and nature-focused, with a chance of spotting special birds and animals: Book the Weerribben-Wieden boat tour.
Our boat tours use comfortable covered boats with windows that can be opened in good weather. They are easy to access for people with limited mobility and pets (such as your dog) are welcome. In busy periods we advise booking in advance, so that you are sure of a place and a trip at the time you want.
Why is quick access to booking information important?
Giethoorn is popular, especially on days with good weather and in the holidays. If you have the booking information at hand quickly, you can plan with certainty: you know exactly which boat tour you are doing, how long you will be on the water and what you can do afterwards.
If you can see straight away where to book, you avoid having to improvise on the spot. That is especially welcome if you are travelling with children, with someone with limited mobility, or if you only have a limited time slot (for example between lunch and the next activity). By booking in advance, you also fix the right boarding location. That saves searching in the village and avoids unnecessary walking back and forth.
Choosing also becomes easier, because all that is left is deciding what suits your day:
- Do you want a classic introduction to Giethoorn? Choose the 1-hour boat tour.
- Do you want peace and nature? Go for 2 hours in Weerribben-Wieden.
What do I do after finding booking information?
Have you found an operator or boat tour that suits you? Then arrange the rest as follows:
1) Contact a boat tour operator (if you still have questions)
For simple questions (availability, boarding time, accessibility, pets), the quickest way is to call if the number is available. For group boat tours with a stop (10 or more), you can call our information point on +31 (0)521 360 099.
2) Ask for additional information in a targeted way
Make your question as specific as possible, and you will get a useful answer sooner. Think of:
- How many people are coming and what is the date and time you want?
- Do you want 1 hour, 2 hours or a combination (such as a group tour with a stop)?
- Are there particular needs, such as limited mobility or bringing a dog?
- Do you want commentary on Giethoorn and its sights along the way, or mainly a quiet sail?
3) Plan and confirm your boat tour
Once your date and type of boat tour are fixed, it is best to book directly online. You then receive a confirmation with the main details straight away. When planning, choose a start time that fits logically into your day:
- Start of the day: it is often quieter on the water and you can walk into the village afterwards.
- Around lunchtime: fits well as a fixed block in your plans.
- Afternoon or late: handy if you want to walk or visit something first.
