We did a boat tour today and it was absolutely amazing. I do this tour once a year, and once again it was a great experience. Ash and Steff did a fantastic job — they were very friendly, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable the whole time. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and everything was well organized. It was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the day. Highly recommended, and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year!

What an amazing experience! My partner and I discovered this trip through some travel bloggers on TikTok, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The boarding point was super convenient - just a short few minutes walk from the tram stop at Centraal Station. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the area.

During the cruise, we passed several iconic sights, including the famous Seven Bridges - a perfect spot for photos. Drinks are available for purchase on board (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and you’re also welcome to bring your own 🍃 to enjoy while you sail.

My partner and I had such a great time; it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend the Buddha Smoke Boat to anyone 18+ and able-bodied looking for a fun, laid-back experience in Amsterdam!

Absolutely brilliant, and relaxing, tour. Most of the time was spent relaxing and enjoying the views, company of friends, and atmosphere of it all. The few tour guide anecdotes Lu told were informative and funny. Bo the driver has some exceptional driving abilities fitting the boat down the narrow canals. The only issue we had was finding the location to meet. It is exactly where the app says, and google maps, it’s exactly on the pointer location but there are no signs and the boat doesn’t arrive until after you are supposed to be there, so we were unsure if we were in the correct location. All in all it was a very worthwhile experience, great price, atmosphere, and hosts.

My girl and I had a great time on this cruise. We did a few different cruises, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the "behind the scenes" narrative. You learn a ton of cool information here. Worth every penny. We look forward to going back asap.

What a great way to chillax while in Amsterdam! The crew was funny and knowledgeable. The boat is covered and the seats are very comfortable. Smoking is allowed on board and they offer the opportunity to partake of their onboard hookah experience.

First time on this smoke boat, been on Smokey's and absolutely does not compare to Buddha smoke boat.

We went 12th July on the 9:30pm cruise and the host was definitely correct in saying it is by far the most beautiful time to go. Atmosphere was brilliant and service by both the host and captain was excellent.

Would absolutely 100% recommend and will definitely be back on our next trip.

This is the first time we've been on the Buddha Lounge boat after trying the other Amsterdam smoke boat I can tell you the Buddha is a much better experience!

The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, the balance of interaction from them but also giving us time to enjoy the boat without hearing every story they know was great.

10/10 experience, can't wait to visit Amsterdam and the Buddha Lounge again 💗
