Night canoe

Price: € 20,00 p.p.

Experience this unique experience, full moon canoeing through Utrecht, this year for the 27th year!

We offer the opportunity to paddle in the evening with the setting sun through the beautiful canals and Singels of the city of Utrecht. Along the way you will of course stop at one of the many cafes in Utrecht. The end of the tour is a true climax because you sail under all kinds of dark and low bridges. At the last bridge you would have to lie completely flat in the canoe to be able to pass under it. An exciting final challenge.
