Amsterdam Light Festival Boat Tour
What your day looks like
Come aboard and see beautiful Amsterdam and the light sculptures all in one tour! From November 27, 2025, to January 18, 2026, light sculptures by renowned artists will rise out of the canals and take over the city’s public spaces; turning the city into an art lover’s paradise. During our 90-minute tour, you can kick back in luxury, see the sights, get up close to the sculptures, and enjoy complimentary snacks and bubbles. All of this without having to worry about the weather, sore feet, or homicidal bicycles. Don't worry about the weather: we have a roof, heating, and blankets on board. Even if it’s raining, you’ll still be comfortable. Uniquely in Amsterdam, our heated seats also provide back heating. Enjoy a personal approach with a smaller group size (up to 10 persons per boat), plus an entirely Eco-friendly ride. Your captain will show you the interesting parts of Amsterdam, that only locals know. You can ask any question, and our skipper will share his wealth of information about the city with you.
