The part that water plays in Amsterdam's layout and urban architecture is demonstrated by Majel when she jumps up and down near our lunch spot and the whole "earth" moves up and down with her. Who would have known that the mud in some canals is 30metres deep, that farmers take a gas from the mud to light their homes.... More

My wife and I were late (got lost) but Majel waited patiently for us. She is super friendly and very knowledgeable. The scenery is gorgeous and we absolutely loved our trip! We did other tours of Amsterdam but this was by far our most favorite. You go through small canals and see how locals live in the country, plus you... More

This was a really good day out. We were well looked after & really suits all abilities. Majel is very knowledgable and patient with a good sense of humour - the perfect guide. We loved the peace and tranquility - such a contrast from the hustle & bustle of Amsterdam. Lovely lunch too !

A wonderful day, amazing scenery. The day I went it was just me and a Dutch family (dad with teenaged boy and 7 year old girl) so they had one canoe and Majel and I had the other. I am a bird enthusiast but that certainly is not a requirement to have a great time. Some time is spent paddling... More

This was a wonderful day activity. Majel met us at the train station and then we were bussed to a restaurant where we began our trip. Majel was very knowledgeable about the area and wetlands reserve. She truly cares about protecting this area and bringing awareness to the work being done by the local farmers to sustain the wetlands. There... More

Do take this tour to experience a different side of Amsterdam altogether. Never expected we can have so much fun just 10 miles away from main centre. The tour gives you a mix of nature, history, architecture, and the social structure of Amsterdam and is total bang for your bucks. Thank you Majel.

Wetlans Safari was one of our most memorable experiences in Amsterdam. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the canals and environment of Holland. We loved the canoe excursion through the village, the large canal, and into the quiet wetlands. The picnic lunch was delightful! This is an experience for the whole family. We are sixty, but we had a couple... More

My friend and I were the first customers of Majel and Wetlands Safaris this year, 2012. We had the most amazing day. 3 of us in the canoe, Majel in the middle, me in front, Sue in the back. A delightfully easy paddle along the canals seeing great wildlife and incredible scenery. An unforgettable day, can't recommend highly enough. Get... More

We're a family of 4 (kids 11 & 13). We all loved this experience and, although it's taken me a year to write the review, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you. I have told many people how unique it is. The scenery is wonderful, the wildlife astonishing. The group had an astonishingly good picnic and this made for... More

While my wife and I have done many tours across europe and asia, this was a very unique experience. We met up at 9:30am at the central station and went on to have a great day canoeing in a very picturesque environment. We have never canoed before and this wasn't an issue. The cost of this tour was very reasonable... More
