Last-minute Mother's Day tips for a memorable day

Go for a day of sailing, rent a boat in Friesland and start this special day there! Start your day from Grou, for example, and take a beautiful trip through National Park De Alde Feanen. Cross the Pikmeer at Grou to then enter the beautiful nature that the national park has to offer.

Daily schedule for renting a boat in 

Once you are on location, you can start the day by exploring the Frisian waters and De Alde Feanen National Park, after which you can pick a nice spot on the water to dock.

The national park has plenty of beautiful mooring spots to enjoy a picnic, for example, or choose to enjoy lunch on the terrace now that it is possible again. Hotel-restaurant Ie Sicht in Oudega is definitely recommended when you want to relax on the terrace by the water. Do you have children who are absolutely crazy about biologist Freek Vonk or do they like to know a little more about all the flora and fauna? Then the Freek Vonk audio route is great fun to follow. You can follow this route via the app IziTravel in which Freek Vonk tells all kinds of things about the nature around you.

Then sail on to one of the picturesque villages such as Earnewald or De Veenhoop that border the national park, or step off the boat and go into nature and walk through the typical Frisian, vast landscape. For example, moor the boat between Earnewald and Oudega and walk to the Jan Durkspolder bird-watching hut to spot fantastic bird species here. When you have arrived back in Grou, you can return home relaxed and recharged after this wonderful day.

Tips for Mother's Day on the water

Suppen
There are endless possibilities for a fun Mother's Day on the water. For example, go supping during your sailing trip: besides being relaxing, it is also an incredibly fun and active sport!

Canoeing or pedal boating
Take a canoe or pedalo out on the water and discover the Frisian waters. Floating on the water you can discover the small rivers and ditches that are normally difficult to reach by boat, and it is again a sporty activity!

We also have boats available at the following locations to get away from it all on Mother's Day:

• Sneek
• Terherne
• Bruinisse
• Lelystad
• Paterswolde

No time this Sunday to go out? Then of course it is also a nice gift to give your mother or wife in advance, so you can spend a day sailing on a warm summer day or make a wonderful sailing vacation.
