Enjoy the water: that's what you do at Westeinder Rondvaart

In Haarlemmermeer, there's plenty to see and do on the water, like stand-up paddleboarding in Buitenkaag, canoeing in Spaarnwoude, or a cruise on the Ringvaart canal. But just outside Haarlemmermeer, you can also enjoy some fantastic water activities. For example, take a boat trip on the Westeinderplassen: hop aboard and discover surprisingly beautiful nature, historic sites, and views of Haarlemmermeer's well-known towns. Let an enthusiastic skipper guide you along the way, sharing plenty of interesting information!
