Visitors to the Netherlands know the allure of Amsterdam's iconic canal cruises—a fresh perspective on the Dutch capital beyond typical tourist spots. Now, elevate your experience with an eco-friendly twist from the Plastic Whale Foundation. This two-hour cruise lets you explore the city while fishing for plastic pollutants. Collected waste is recycled into new cruise boats and sellable furniture. Bonus: snag the most unusual item for a special reward!
Ready to join? Book a Sunday cruise in Amsterdam through April 20 for €25, including snacks and drinks (fishing optional). The limited timeframe? The canals are now remarkably cleaner, making the original experience even more impactful. It's also available in Rotterdam, with ambitions to expand to polluted waterways worldwide. By January 2019, the Foundation had recovered 202,000 plastic bottles—equivalent to 3,800 trash bags—thanks to over 22,000 dedicated "fishers." Could the Seine be next?
