About the experience

Leave the tourist trails behind and unlock the hidden heart of Amsterdam on this 3-hour Secret Tour aboard the Noor Iza. Designed for the curious and adventurous, this private boat tour reveals a side of the city that even many locals don’t know — a world of peaceful canals, forgotten neighborhoods, and stories lost to time.

Step aboard the elegant Noor Iza, a Waterman Sloep 8.0 powered by a quiet yet powerful 90hp engine, and enjoy a tailor-made cruise for up to 9 guests. With cozy seating, a premium sound system, and your choice of drinks and snacks, it’s the perfect setup for a relaxed and intimate exploration.

We’ll slip through canals so narrow they once served as trade routes for flat-bottom boats — now perfect for quiet escapes. You’ll discover tucked-away courtyards, hidden waterside cafés, and charming bridges where the city seems to whisper rather than shout.

As your experienced skipper and personal guide, I’ll share little-known tales and guide you through these secret waterways with ease and passion.

Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, this tour offers a new and exclusive perspective of Amsterdam — one that’s only accessible by boat.

Book your Secret Canal Tour on Click&Boat and uncover the city’s best-kept secrets, one ripple at a time.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Westerdok, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Hidden Canals
We start by gliding through narrow, quiet canals rarely seen by tourists. These peaceful waters reveal a more intimate, authentic side of Amsterdam.
Lesser-Known Neighborhoods
Next, we pass through tucked-away districts full of charm — where locals live, work, and relax far from the busy city center.
Secret Spots
You’ll discover tiny bridges, unexpected gardens, and quiet courtyards only visible from the water — the kind of places even locals miss.
Intimate Waterways
Some canals are so narrow they once fit only small cargo boats. Today, they offer a serene and exclusive way to explore the city in peace.

    The trip with Jason was top-notch, the boat is amazing, Jason did a lot of explaining and showed us a beautiful Amsterdam from the riverside. He also provided snacks and drinks, I will recommend him to all my friends. We have been two mums with two small kids, it was a perfect way to experience Amsterdam without exhausting the small legs

    We booked Jason and his beautiful boat, the Noor Iza, through Click&Boat, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The Noor Iza is a stunning vessel – spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could wish for: a toilet, fridge/freezer, cozy seat cushions, and excellent speakers. Together with my husband, our two sons, and my parents, we had the best time enjoying everything there was to see during SAIL Amsterdam. The views were simply breathtaking. Jason is an outstanding captain who knows the waters of Amsterdam like the back of his hand. Safety is clearly his top priority, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. On top of that, he shared fascinating stories and insights about the history of Amsterdam and the ships participating in SAIL, which made the experience even more special. This tour is a true gem – far beyond the standard boat rides you’ll find elsewhere. If you want a unique and memorable way to see Amsterdam and SAIL, with an exceptional captain at the helm, Jason is the one to book. Highly recommended!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening cruise during Sail! Jason knows the sailing routes well, knows exactly what's fun, and how to avoid the usual routes. Everything was organized quickly, flexibly, and with enthusiasm. The boat is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. But above all, Jason is an excellent skipper. That means you only have to do one thing: enjoy yourself carefree. Highly recommended!
