Canoe Rental The Hague provides you with a unique opportunity to enjoy the city and its beautiful surroundings from its many waters. Paddle through the historic center with its distinctive old and modern architecture and many bridges, or take a trip to one of the rural areas!
individuel, together, with family or friends
Our kayaks (single-seat or double-seat) are very easy to handle. You don’t need to have experience. At arrival at our location we provide you with a watermap, explain the routes and help you in and out the kayak. Lifejackets and a waterproof bag are available.
for groups, teams or schools
Canoeing is not only good for group dynamics, it is a very healthy acvity and fun to do!
Especially the trip around the historic centre is just long enough (max. 2 hours) to have fun together.
A lot of groups, teams and schools have done it before you!
The routes
It can be very exciting to find your own way trough the canals and to get surprised by what you encounter! But for those who prefer a more guided take to the waters, we have mapped out six routes of different length and duration below, each with its own distinct character.
Because not everyone has the same speed, the times indicated are an approximation.
The indicated distance is that of the total round trip.

DELFT
Follow the Dunne Bierkade past the former studio of Paulus Potter, and past the house where Spinoza wrote his Ethica, to the Palace Garden and the Royal Stables on the Mauritskade.
Via the Hooikade at the back of the Denneweg the tour continues via the Princessegracht past the Royal Art Academy and the recently built ministries via the Uilenbomen back to the historic harbour and Passantenhaven on the Bierkade.
Arendsdorp, a former country estate, is now an interesting nature reserve in the city. The park is open to the public. However, the waterways are only accessible to canoeists and make this route an unexpected experience of greenery and tranquility.
Clingendael refers to the valley between the dunes (clinge). The estate is mentioned as early as the 16th century.
The combination of culture and nature makes it a pleasant spot for young and old. You will find beautiful buildings and gardens with impressive groups of trees and reflective water features. The garden art of 1818 is still visible in the estate.
The most famous part of Clingendael is the Japanese garden which can be observed well from the the water. The beautiful and rare trees and plants are very fragile, so mooring here is not allowed. Instead, you can moore at the adjacent tearoom.
The Westbroek Park is located between Madurodam and Scheveningen.
The park, together with the Belgische Park (the neighbourhood between Badhuisweg and the dunes north of Scheveningen), is one of the Hague's protected cityscapes. You will be surprised by the peaceful and spaceous ponds anc creeks.
You can easily get in and out of the canoes at the Waterkant Restaurant.
If you prefer to make somewhat longer strokes, the route to the Binckhorst is an option. This route consists of more open water, is more sensitive to wind, but has no short bends or low bridges.
Follow the Zieken and the Pletterijkade to the Haagse Trekvliet in the direction of Binckhorst. Here you can visit the former Caballero factory (now a collective business building) and the De Compaan beer brewery.
A combination of wider water, houseboats and romantic vistas! Follow the Zieken and the Pletterijkade to the Verheeskade and Calandkade. In the Laakkanaal you take the exit along the Moerweg just before the Zuiderpark. Here you will find surprisingly romantic waters with unsuspected houseboats. Via the Strijp Wetering and the Reijnerwatering you turn right to the Sion and from there you will enter the Vliet. You take this in the direction of The Hague, where you navigate back to the Center via the Binckhorst. You can also extend this route with a visit to Delft.
