Amsterdam Light Festival: Open Boat Tour

About this experience

Amsterdam Light Festival: Open Boat Tour is a seasonal boat tour in Amsterdam that takes visitors along the city's canals to view the illuminated artworks of the Amsterdam Light Festival from the water. Passengers travel by open boat through the canal network, passing the large-scale light installations and sculptures that form part of the festival's annual outdoor exhibition. The open-air format provides unobstructed sightlines to the artworks reflected across the water, and the route is designed to follow the festival trail through the city centre. Tickets cover the boat tour itself, allowing guests to experience the full canal route at their own pace as part of a guided group departure.
