The experience

Warmond sits at the edge of the Kagerplassen, a stretch of water and wetland that most visitors to the Netherlands never see. The cruise leaves from a point 10 minutes away from Keukenhof and runs for an hour, moving through the kind of landscape that defines the Dutch countryside: flat, open, dotted with nature reserves. A live guide narrates in English, German or Dutch, pointing out what makes this region distinct from the canal-heavy scenery of Amsterdam.

The boat itself is equipped with air conditioning, WiFi and a restroom, so the hour on the water is comfortable rather than bare-bones. Lisse and the Kagerplassen are known for their natural character, and the cruise puts you in the middle of it instead of viewing it from a distance. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and service animals are permitted on board.
