The tours

There are three options to choose from. The classic canoe tour takes you straight onto the water. The bike-and-canoe tour combines both modes of travel: the outward leg goes by bicycle through the water meadows and the return is by canoe, with bicycle transport organised for you. For large groups, the covered-wagon canoe tour pairs a wagon ride with a paddling trip.

Combined offers & barbecue package

If you'd like to round off the day, you can add a barbecue package afterwards. It includes a choice of five types of meat – neck steaks, pork belly, poultry steaks, grilled sausages and Krakauer – along with salads, bread, herb butter and sauces. The package can be booked from 10 people and costs €29.50 per person. It takes place at the Laerheide Treff, the restaurant by the sports ground at Schoelkensdyck 4 in Wachtendonk.

Good to know

The tours start in Wachtendonk on the Lower Rhine. Whether as a family outing, a club activity or a corporate day out, the different tour types can be tailored to the size and wishes of your group.
