Canoe rental

For over 25 years we, the brothers Harm and Rikele Hollema, have already rented canoes and bicycles. In these years our rentalbusiness has become a place where lots of people return every summer for a wonderful canoe trip.

Some people like to canoe on their own, others take friends along. It is also possible to make a canoetrip as part of a familyparty, or as an activity with people from your neighbourhood. Canoeïng is also a nice activity on companytrips or for an afternoontrip with a schoolclass.

We can easily place over 100 people in our canoes. Of course hereby there is choice out of the kayak for one person, the kayak for two persons and the Canadian canoe, which can hold 3 persons. For a nice day on the water, we will provide a map with a beautiful canoetrack through the National Park.
 

           

On a pond in National Park ‘De Alde Feanen’

You can use a plasticized copy of this map and with this it is possible to find the smallest canals and nicest ponds with blooming waterlilies. A nice trip takes at least two hours, but you can also spend the whole day on the water. For the diehards we provide a tour which leads you along picturesque villages in the neighbourhood as Warten, Warstiens and Wergea.

Do you want to stay away for a few nights? Then we can advise you some (mini-)campings along the track as well. We provide tons for the baggage which has to stay dry.

If you’re thinking of making a canoe trip with a group and you want a tourguide along, then we can also arrange this for you. We can even organize a picknick on a small island, if you like.

The Hollema brothers like to give you advise about interesting tracks and possiblities, so don’t hesitate to contact us.

Do you want to canoe at a place where are no canoes for rent? Don’t worry, we regularly bring our canoes to destinations in the wide surroundings of Earnewâld. You could have seen our canoes paddling in De Knipe, Drachten, Grou, Poppenwier, Broeksterwâld (Houtwiel), Rottevalle (De Leijen), Franeker and Leeuwarden (De Kleine Wielen).

The canoes are ready to go.
