Imagine sailing on Amsterdam’s canals on a private boat tour. You see the iconic canal houses and bridges. You hear the sound of the water against the side of the boat. You are also witnessing over 24 light artworks from up close.

Every year in winter 24 light installations are scattered across the canals waiting to be discovered. Will you explore them with us?

This private tour on Amsterdam’s canals on a quiet, heated boat will give you a front-row seat to the 10th annual Light Festival. The artworks are best viewed from the water.

This boat cruise helps communicate the message of the pieces. Your guides have a background in art and personal contact with some of the artists featured in the past years. See the festival the best way possible and hear an insider’s perspective only available to our team.

This tour is ideal for couples or groups of up to 12.
