The paddle traces the waterways through the heart of Hoorn or can be run at a location agreed on in advance—an urban water route that makes the town itself part of the experience.

A focused, 60-minute session

This offering is a compact, one-hour paddle session designed for a straightforward introduction or a quick adventure on the water.

THE SUPPORT

Professional instruction and supplied gear

Every outing comes with a professional instructor and the essential equipment—a board and paddle—so participants can focus on paddling and the view rather than logistics.

The short, guided format makes the experience accessible—whether this is your first time on a board or a quick outing for more experienced paddlers—while the townscape frames every stroke.
