Canal cruise
A canal cruise with Schuttevaer past the wharves of the Oudegracht and along the outer canals.
1 hour · from 8 people
An hour on the Oudegracht and the outer canals, past the wharf cellars that you can only really see from the water. These old cellars at water level are unique to Utrecht. For groups, this is the activity where everyone sits down and catches up, usually between two more active blocks.
You board in the city centre, within walking distance of the other activities. Handy as the start of the day, or as a break after lunch.
