Start to Canoe: Discover the most beautiful canoe routes of Den Helder

Follow us on social:

Did you know that Den Helder boasts the most beautiful canoe routes in the KOP region of North Holland? This spring, you'll have the chance to discover them for yourself! Phoenix Canoe Club is kicking off the season with Start to Canoe, an accessible introduction to canoeing. In April and May, you can join a club canoeing trip on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM, accompanied by experienced canoeists. Feeling nervous about getting in? There's a special jetty to make getting in and out of the canoe easier.

Who knows, you might enjoy it so much that you'll participate in the Canoe Days in June. Want to be sure of a spot in a club canoe? Register via [email protected]. For questions, please call secretary Tanja Ites at 06-45251267.
