The entire walking distance through Giethoorn is about 2.5 miles. Some people prefer a sightseeing cruise. The knowledgeable drivers love describing their village. Another option is to rent a whisper boat. They are a simple rowboat with a small quiet motor. This is a fun way to set your own pace. The only downfall is on busy days when the canals are filled with inexperienced drivers. Navigating the traffic can be a bit tricky and often slow.
