The Kano vijver was one of the first rides in the Efteling. It was one of the 3 lakes in the park on this one were canoes. on one was the Roei vijver and the third lake has still the Gondoletta. The Kano vijver had it's station located between Gondoletta and Piraña in the forest. There was a small building with a clock.




The canoes were a very popular ride with a very low cappacity. There were 40 canoes which could held up to 2 people making 80 visitors per ride in total. The maximum time on your canoe was 20 minutes so you could know when the park was growing this ride would be a real problem for the cappacity. The boats were available in 5 colors: Red, green, yellow, orange and blue.

During the building of De Vliegende Hollander they had to block of the lake for a part, they built a dam. A long time there was hope the canoes will stay and open again with less boats. But during the building of Joris en de Draak Efteling removed the platform, so we can say the canoes are now really gone.
 

 Did you know:
The canoes actually have been removed because of the less space and the problems withDe Vliegende Hollander?
