On a rented aluminum motorboat from Go With The Flo you skirt reed beds and open water across the Berger- and Egmondermeer, watching local flora and fauna at a gentle, unhurried pace; the same craft can carry you into the historic canals of Alkmaar, and the operator can supply a picnic basket to turn a short outing into a full-day memory.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE WILDLIFE

Flora and fauna of the Berger- and Egmondermeer

The route threads wetlands and open water where the region’s plants and birds are best seen from the low profile of a rental motorboat—quiet, close to the surface, and slow enough to watch for movement along the banks.

THE ROUTE

A picturesque loop into Alkmaar’s canals

Beyond the lakes, renters can steer into Alkmaar for a scenic circuit through the city’s canals, creating a contrast between open-water marshes and intimate urban waterways.

THE COMFORTS

Bring—or order—a picnic for the boat

To round out the hour count on the water, the operator offers a picnic basket option so you can pause onshore or anchored in a sheltered bay without breaking the rhythm of the day.

What the day feels like

What this outing feels like

The trip is deliberately unhurried: motorboats run at roughly 9–10 km/h, and on a rented aluminum 10-person boat you glide past reed beds and open stretches of the Berger- and Egmondermeer, detouring into tighter canal passages if you choose to head for Alkmaar; pack a picnic or order one from the operator to stop and linger.
