E-bike and raft expedition Amsterdam Wetlands
Ride a confortable E-bike tour through Amsterdam wetlands and go on a raft expedition in the Dutch wilderness. Imagine yourself riding an e-bike and as the buzzing sounds of busy Amsterdam are slowely fading away, the beauty of the Amsterdam Wetland start to emerge. Reeds dancing on the wind, houseboats on the water, thousands of birds, dragonflies, old Dutch towns and fishing villages will appear.
As we arrive at the raft basecamp in the middle of the wetlands instructions and maps will be handed out to set you up for a night to remember. As you depart from the basecamp you take the raft and sail one of the routes on the map or pick your own route. Find a tea garden, restaurant, beach restaurant or a local spot to get food and enjoy the local cuisine. Enjoying a beautiful moment laying on a raft, floating around Amsterdam wetland and when the night comes down on the wetlands, natures amplifiers turn on with a scala on birds singing their songs.
Admiring millions of stars before having a peaceful night. After a floating night on the water, wake up at the middle of nowhere, with the sunrise shining on your tent. Use the kitchen gear for breakfast or pick a local place to dock and order it and head back to the basecamp before 11:00.After checkout you take your e-bike and head back for a 35 minute ride to Amsterdam.
