De Vaarderij Boat Company

Would you like to take a relaxing canal cruise in Aalsmeer through the Dutch lakes in Oosteinderpoel? Do you want to sail between exciting bits of Dutch jungle and past grassy islands? Then step aboard De Hellemeer operated by De Vaarderij Boat Company. It is a classic wooden, covered boat for up to fifty people.

Oosteinderpoel nature monument

You are not just sailing through an area of nature. No, you are sailing through a protected nature reserve: the Oosteinderpoel lies between Aalsmeer and Amstelveen. The Oosteinderpoel formed part of this lake area when the Haarlemmermeer was still a large area of open water. Nowadays, it is a forest of islands, covered with birch and alder trees and home to water and reed birds. Some of the marshy grasslands turn a beautiful shade purple during the summer thanks to the flowers. We are in the flower village of Aalsmeer.
