Pedal by day, float by night

Bike and boat tours

Love to cycle and love the water? We have just the thing for you.

Bike and boat tours are a popular choice for couples, families and groups of friends looking for a unique vacation around the world. Similar to regular land-based cycling tours, bike and boat tours take you cycling through beautiful landscapes and wonderful sights during the day.

Then, at night, you’ll meet up with your “floating hotel” and continue to enjoy the changing scenery from the boat deck.

These tours are perfect for every traveler, including those who aren’t up for cycling every day, as they have the choice to simply stay on board and enjoy the scenery from the boat.
