5Punt
A punt belongs in Giethoorn as a gondola belongs in Venice. Tourists from across the globe have an unforgettable experience in this floating monument. However, it takes some time to master ‘punting’. Tip: also visit an authentic punt boatyard, where the nautical atmosphere from centuries ago still prevails.

2Surfing or supping
Once super trendy: surfing. There are still many surfing fans getting on boards at the surfing school in Giethoorn. Sometimes with the traditional surf sail, but just as often with just a paddle. ‘Supping’ is the perfect way to enjoy nature. Standing on a surfboard you have the perfect view across the reedland.
