The Waterfietsen (pedal boats) at Plopsaland De Panne offer a tranquil escape amidst the excitement of the theme park. Located on the large central lake in the Piratenzone (Pirate Zone), this attraction allows visitors to explore the water in style aboard swan-shaped pedal boats.
Each boat can accommodate up to four people, making it a perfect activity for families and friends.

The Waterfietsen have been a part of Plopsaland for many years, undergoing several transformations. In 2006, the area was integrated into the Piratenzone. In 2012, the original red boats with pirate flags were replaced with the current swan-themed boats. Take note that the area where you can sail has become smaller since the arrival of The Ride to Happiness.
