Top Water Activities in Netherlands

Don’t forget your camera. There are some really picturesque spots, and you’ll want to snap a few photos, especially around the old buildings and the harbor.

My advice is to take a stroll along the marina during sunset. The colors are breathtaking, and you'll get some incredible photos without the crowds of the daytime.

I recommend trying to rent a bike to explore the area. It's super fun and you can see a lot more than just walking around. Plus, the views are awesome!

I suggest trying some local cheese at one of the vendors. I loved it, but be aware that it can get busy during lunch hours!

If you're planning to rent gear, my advice is to bring your own if you can. The rental prices can add up fast, so just grab a wetsuit and board if you have them.

I suggest you book your tickets online to save some money. They have deals that aren't available at the gate, and it really helps when the lines get long. Trust me, it saved me some cash!

I think you'll enjoy it more if you go in the morning around 10 AM when it's less crowded. The vibe is great, and you get more time on the water.

I recommend booking your session online in advance to save that hassle of waiting when you get there. It's way more convenient!

Don’t miss the chance to chat with the local fishermen. They usually have great stories and recommendations for where to eat the best fish in Volendam after the auction.

If you're planning to rent a boat on Gouwzee, book it online in advance. I did it on the spot and ended up waiting ages. Trust me, it saves so much time and stress
