Pancake boat tour on the IJ river
Step on board the Pancake boat in Amsterdam and discover the best way to try traditional Dutch Pancakes. This 75-minute cruise will take you on the IJ River, which splits the city, with the Amsterdam North district to the north of the river and the city centre and other districts to the south of the river.
What can you eat during the Amsterdam Pancake Boat tour? During the cruise, you’ll have access to an all-you-can-eat buffet of Dutch pancakes, including mouth-watering toppings like Dutch cheese, syrup, bacon, fruit, chocolate, marmalade and much, much more. So make sure you’re hungry when you get on board!
Sights to see from the water during the Amsterdam pancake boat tour
During the pancake boat tour through Amsterdam you will sail on the IJ River. On the north shore you can see the modern side of Amsterdam with the A’DAM Tower, the EYE Film Museum and the THIS IS HOLLAND attraction.
While the southern shore of the river includes Amsterdam's Central Station and access to the canals. In summer you’ll most likely also see the huge cruise ships that dock in the harbour or at the Passenger Terminal. It’s always a sight to behold. Kids won’t have a chance to get bored during the cruise either, at the back of the boat you’ll find an enormous ball pit where they can play throughout the cruise.
Taste Dutch pancakes on this Amsterdam boat tour
Eating traditional Dutch pancakes is something you can't miss out on when you visit the Netherlands. The pancakes are usually larger and much thinner than their American counterparts yet a little thicker than crepes.
What is the best way to eat Dutch pancakes? We recommend to eat them loaded up with toppings and that’s exactly what you get a chance of doing during this pancake tour. And whether you use cutlery or not is completely up to you. Get ready to try some of the best pancakes in the city! Are you ready for a Pancake cruise or will you choose a different Canal cruise Amsterdam?

Everyone should try this
Amazing value for money and absolutely amazing offering of different pancakes with different toppings. We really wanted to do this a second time in our 4 day holiday but couldn’t. Can’t recommend strong enough to give it a try. Drinks a little pricey but expected.

Nice experience
A nice experience, the pancakes (especially the apple one!) were tasty, and there was a good variety of toppings. The actual boat trip doesn’t go by many interesting thing to see so it’s definitely a boat trip just to eat pancakes rather than to see anything, but it was fun!

My kids' favourite thing we did in Amsterdam
Food is tasty and plentiful, service is lovely, and best of all the ball pit is a riot for kids. Terrific family activity.

Fun trip with plentiful great food
Good fun trip and chance to see a slightly different view of Amsterdam. Pancakes were very tasty, lots of toppings and unlimited. Surprisingly filling even for our teenage sons so provided full dinner! Staff friendly. Would go back!

Pancake boat- Dutch fun!
Had a lovely time on the pancake boat. Judy, who I believe is the owner, was so kind. The kids working on the boat were great. Delicious pancakes and great views of Nijgemen. Highly recommend this!

Fun boat trip with amazing food!
Fun boat trip with amazing food! We really enjoyed hour 90 minutes with this tour company. The pancakes (basically crepes) came with so many toppings, so we tried all 3 types of pancakes. We left completely full and relaxed. We will definitely do this again!

Do it for the kids!
This was a highlight for the kids - 7 and 9. For the parents - it’s not too expensive, the pancakes are delicious, and you get to relax on the water while the kids have fun. I recommend it for sure - just go with medium expectations for grown ups. Tip: we went to the Straat museum, an amazing street art museum right next to the launch point, after we got off the boat. The art is amazing and the kids really enjoyed it too. It made for a nice afternoon slightly off the beaten path!

An easy and fun experience
The pancake cruise was a highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. There were lots of options to make delicious savoury and sweet pancakes (vegetarian savoury options were grated cheddar, brie, friend onions, boiled eggs and sweetcorn). The staff noticed my 11 year old daughter's birthday badge and very kindly brought her special birthday pancakes with a firework style candle, which she absolutely loved. She wasn't too old to enjoy a go in the ballpit too! There wasn't any noise from the ballpit or much queuing for pancakes, perhaps helped by our trip being quiet - the boat was full downstairs, but empty upstairs. The area that the boat cruises isn't very beautiful but it's really interesting and we enjoyed the view. We had hesitated in bookings as we thought the pancake boat dock might be difficult to get to, but it's surprisingly easy - the free ferry for the NDSM area leaves from right outside Centraal every 15 minutes or so. (There's a similar free ferry that goes to the Pontsteiger dock, which is very handy if you're staying in that area.) There are cafes and art galleries and shops along the NDSM waterfront if you get there a little early.

Pancakes for the win
If you’re going to take a canal cruise in Amsterdam, might as well have pancakes and a cocktail also! Very efficient system, and delicious pancakes with a very complete self service accompaniments bar to go along with the pancakes. By the sounds of the shrill screaming, children will love the ball pit in the bottom of the boat. Fortunately for the rest of us, this did not detract from the experience.

Great experience, even greater food!
The staff were very friendly and the pancakes were delicious! We went in February which means the weather wasn’t too great but that’s no fault of the pancake boat. Overall a great experience and I bet the views are wonderful in summer

Nice idea but not ideal implementation
Good variety of pancakes and toppings. Everyone can find something to his taste. But what really didn’t allow to fully enjoy the trip - there was very cold on the boat. We couldn’t get warmer even after hot drinks and meal. Some people had to stay in jackets during all trip.

It was just the most enjoyable experience! The pancakes super delicious and such a novel way of eating all U like! Keep.
It was the most enjoyable experience. The pancakes were delicious and the variety of toppings hard to beat.! Great value for money

Great selection of pancakes and toppings
Really enjoyable time. Good selection of pancakes and toppings. Friendly helpful staff. Savoury and sweet toppings. Plenty to choose from. Only negative was the extra 1.50€ per person that was added on. We asked and this was some kind of entertainment tax.

Mooi en heerlijke pannekoeken-ervaring
Om te beginnen heerlijke pannekoeken met volop keus voor de vulling. Mooie tocht langs de bebouwing van het IJ. Vriendelijke bemanning, het was een goeie pannekoeken-ervaring !!

Heerlijke pannekoeken
Gezellig opa en oma genomen voor 80e verjaardag, (klein) kinderen mee. heerlijk weer en heerlijke pannenkoeken zoals altijd. echt een aanrader voor familie en of met de kinderen.
May 21, 2024103jeroenk
Leuk voor de hele familie en ook voor vrienden groepen zeker aan te bevelen
Ook namens het weer van afgelopen zaterdag was het ook super lekker om op het water te zijn. We hebben er lekker van genoten raden het ook iedereen aan het eten was ook top genoeg keuzes als toppings op de pannenkoeken.
May 13, 2024lindespeler
Uitgebreide toppings op lekkere en gastvrij geserveerde pannenkoeken.
Prima ontvangst, gastvrije en attente bediening. Zeer uitgebreide keuze van toppings. Enthousiast werd hier en daar een verjaardag opgeluisterd door het personeel.

Top ervaring
We hebben heerlijk gegeten van de vers gebakken pannenkoeken en nog nooit zoveel toppings voor op een pannenkoek gezien! Echt een aanrader 👌🏼 En ook nog schoon en zeer vriendelijk personeel.

Pannenkoekenboot als familieuitje
Leuk concept. “Onbeperkt” klopt ook wel, maar er was een lange wachttijd voor de naturel pannenkoeken. Daardoor hebben wij er niet erg veel kunnen eten. Spek en appel werden meer gevuld, maar ook niet vol. De pannenkoeken hadden wel iets langer mogen bakken. De binnenkant was nog niet echt gaar. Maar er was voldoende keuze in toppings en de bediening was erg attent. ondanks de vele kinderen was alles netjes schoon. TOP! En de ballenbak was natuurlijk favoriet. Na 1 pannenkoek werd daar goed gebruik van gemaakt.

Super leuk vatend uitje met smullerij
Een heel leuk varend uitje voor jong en oud, mer onbeperkt lekkere pannenkoeken eten en voor de kids daarna de super grote ballenbak. In 75 minuten vaar je rond op het IJ. Jammer alleen dat ze geen glutenvrije pannenkoek hadden, misschien een goed idee.

Top service
Service top, top!!!! Ondanks wij de boot hadden gemist vanwege gebrek aan parkeerplaats rondom de bestemming hebben wij gebruik mogen maken van de volgende rit. Super tevreden over het personeel van vrijdag 23 februari. Bedankt voor deze mooie dag!!

1ere visite Amsterdam
Sympa, familial, accueil souriant. Le temps est idéal pour un goûter en fin de journée. A la tombée de la nuit les lumières du port sont très belles

top!
Het was heel goed. Leuke reis zo in de schemering waar steeds meer lichtjes verschenen in het westelijk havengebied en het centrum van Amsterdam. Heerlijk volop pannenkoeken gegeten (ruime keuze in mogelijk beleg), met fijne warme chocolademelk en thee. Vriendelijke bediening, goede sfeer. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

Lekkere pannenkoeken en fijn personeel
Leuke plek om te eten! Pannenkoeken zijn erg lekker en meer dan genoeg keuze aan toppings. Door harde wind kon de boot helaas niet varen, maar verstandig om het dan niet te doen. En erg attent dat we een gratis drankje kregen daarvoor in de plaats. Ballenbak is top! Beneden en heel groot. Zelfs onze zoon van 9 vond dat leuk!

Leuk concept.
Het concept is erg leuk, pannenkoeken waren heerlijk! Helaas konden we niet uitvaren door de stroming en harde wind. Ter compensatie kregen we een drankje gratis of je kon je geld terugkrijgen. In de zomer proberen we het nog een keer.

Avond eten voor concert Zigodome
Wij verkozen de vaart van 16:00 uur voor 75 min. Onberperkt pannekoeken eten, die steeds gebakken klaar staan in de pannekoeken kast in 3 keuzes naturel, appel en spek. Toppings toe te voegen naar eigen keuze. Drinken NIET inbegrepen Gemakkelijk bereikbaar van Amsterdam Centraal wandel door de Ijpassage van het station naar de veerboten. Neem het GRATIS pont F4 naar NDSM .vaart ongeveer 15 min. Na het veer neem rechts en ga de hoek om tot de pannekoeken boot. Let op u hoeft 15 min. op voorhand aanwezig te zijn.

Ballenbak
Heel gezellig en de ballen bak was een plezier voor de kleinkinderen. We hebben ons prima vermaakt en ook gegeten .

TIP van de DAG!
SUPER leuk gehad met kleinzoon! Geweldig idee, eerst alle kinderen een pannenkoek eten en dan gaat pas de ballenbak open! Wij hebben genoten en kleinzoon wilde NIET van de boot af! Personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Super leuk voor de kids, maar ook voor ons volwassenen. Heerlijke pannenkoeken met genoeg keuze aan ingrediënten. Leuk en vriendelijk personeel.

Prima ervaring!
Voor herhaling vatbaar! Leuke enthousiaste medewerkers. Mooi uitzicht tijdens wachttijd op eerste pannekoek, totdat iedereen voorzien was. Daarna kon je gewoon halen zovaak je zin had met enorme keuze aan toppings! Prima georganiseerd!!

Prima ervaring
De pannenkoeken waren heerlijk. Ze waren er in drie varianten 1 naturel pannenkoek 2 spek pannenkoek 2 appel pannenkoek De rondvaart van 75 minuten was fenomenaal en liet veel delen van de haven van Amsterdam zien. De route was: NDSM eiland, HEM haven, Centraal station, passagiers terminal naast Muziekgebouw aan het ij en toen terug naar de NDSM ligplaats via Amsterdam Lookout en Eye.

Erg teleurstellend - de pannekoeken zijn beter dan die van papa...
We zijn het idee van mijn zoon opgevolgd en hebben een tocht op de pannenkoekenboot geboekt. Geen moment spijt van gehad. De pannekoeken waren heerlijk. Het personeel hartelijk en tocht erg leuk. David en papa hebben erg genoten!

Was een leuke tocht, prima pannenkoeken. Drinken was er niet bij inbegrepen waardoor het behoorlijk prijzig was

Bon rapport qualité prix
La "croisière" est sympa, les crepes sont correctes et nourrissantes. Je ne suis pas un fan des buffets, mais hors de France c'est un peu moins oppressant, je n'ai pas eu l'impression d'être avec des affamés qui cherchent à tout prix à rentabiliser. Moment sympa.

Es war toll
Der Service war super - die Pfannkuchen lassen keine Wünsche offen und man kann wirklich soviel essen wie man schafft - es war toll
Jul 21, 2022Claudine1507
Pour sortir de l’ordinaire.
Crêpes salées et sucrées à volonté. Ne pas oublier qu aux Pays Bas toutes les boissons sont payantes y compris l’eau. La promenade en bateau sort de l’ordinaire puisqu’il faut prendre le ferry pour atteindre le quai de départ. On arrive ainsi dans un quartier d’artistes peu commun et agréable. Expérience intéressante.
