Questions about the videos

Are the videos available in other languages?

They are spoken in English with English subtitles. At the dock we explain everything again briefly in Dutch, English or German.

Do I need to watch the videos before I come?

No. The explanation at the dock is enough. If you watch them beforehand, you will feel more at ease in the boat.

Can I watch the videos on the water?

Yes, on your phone. They only load when you press play, so they use no data unless you watch them.
