Utrecht Kayak Tour

We'll meet at 2 pm at the statue of Count Jan Van Nassau in front of the Utrecht Cathedral. From there, we'll walk to the pier where the kayaks are waiting. After some instructions, we'll start the kayak tour through the canals of Utrecht.

We will paddle through the green canal, learning about the city’s history as the center of economic and religious power of the Netherlands. Halfway, we'll stop for 20 minutes at a bar on the banks of the canals, where a drink is included. After this break, we will continue paddling towards the Oudegracht, the old canal of Utrecht, which runs through the historic center, providing views of the tallest bell towers.

While sailing, we'll learn facts about Utrecht, including that Alexander VI, the only Dutch pope, was born here. We will also discuss historical events, notably the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in the early 18th century by the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Finally, at 5:30 pm, we will return to the departure pier.
