Availability:
From November 27, 2025 until January 18, 2026, between 17:00 and 22:00.
⚠️ Note: On Sundays, the lights are only on until 22:00, meaning the last tour that can still see the artworks departs at 21:00 (not 21:30 or 22:00).
Experience Amsterdam’s famous “HIGH LIGHT TOUR” in the most relaxed way possible — from a smoke-friendly canal boat.
Glide through the city’s glowing canals and pass by several of the breathtaking light artworks, with chill music, great company, and a cozy atmosphere on board. A unique, mellow adventure that combines Amsterdam’s bright art with your own easy-going buzz — the perfect way to see the city shine.
The tour lasts 70 minutes, slightly shorter than the regular 90-minute Light Festival route.
Please note: we do not follow the official Light Festival route. Our cruise follows our regular 70-minute route, during which you can enjoy and see part of the light installations along the way, while relaxing and taking in the atmosphere — no guided explanation of the artworks is provided.
NORMAL TOUR:
Enjoy one of the most relaxing smoke-friendly lounge boat tours in Amsterdam. Sip on your favorite drink and smoke.
Start out in the heart of Amsterdam at Central Station one of the most popular locations in the city, and sail through the central area, the Herengracht and Prinsengracht canals, the Seven Bridges, the river Amstel, the Skinny Bridge, and the Dancing Houses before returning to where you started.
The boat can accommodate up to 22 people. Whatever the weather, the boat is set up so passengers will have an enjoyable time. In summertime all windows can be opened, ensuring full visibility of Amsterdam’s iconic landmarks and monuments. In winter all windows can be closed, and we have heated seats to keep you warm.
