De Blauwe Bever safari ship: a safari on the water!

Did you think safaris only existed in Africa? Think again! De Blauwe Bever safari ship will take you on a voyage of discovery through the Dutch river region. Spotting beavers? Check. Selfie-worthy views? Check! And best of all: you'll keep your feet dry!

The Blauwe Bever is not just any tour boat. It is a safari ship, which means that you are not just bobbing along on the river, but that you are truly going on a voyage of discovery. While you sail along the Lower Rhine, the IJssel or the Lek, an enthusiastic guide will tell you everything about the wild nature and the history of the area.  

What can you expect on the boat? Perhaps you will spot a beaver splashing in the water or hidden away in its dam. You will also learn about nature: from birds with impressive names to unusual river plants. In the mood for a bit of romance? Then book an evening cruise at sunset.  

Can you spot a beaver splashing in the water or chilling out in its own dam?

De Blauwe Bever is run by volunteers with a passion for nature and adventure. That means you will not only learn a lot along the way, but you are also guaranteed to be treated to a few amusing anecdotes and dry humour.  

Whether you are a seasoned nature lover or just want something different to Netflix and a terrace, the Blue Beaver has something for everyone. And let's face it: a boat trip is always a good idea, especially if you learn something while you're at it!  

 

Nice to know

Did you know that a beaver's front teeth are constantly growing? That's why they gnaw all day long.
