A marked navigation channel through the Jiskenhúster Mar and the Jiskenhúster Feart leads to Jachthaven Idskenhuizen. From Zeil- en Surfschool Neptunus, you can sail directly to the Koevordermeer. Recreatiepark Idskenhuizen has a small marina on a waterway that ends in a cul-de-sac. Recreatiepark also rents out sloops and bicycles, which can be used to explore the Frisian Lakes and the surrounding area. This gives you several water-based options to choose from when planning your stay: sailing, trips by sloop or exploring by bicycle.

Churches and distinctive village details

The window in the façade of the Gereformeerde Kerk in Idskenhuizen displays the years 1844–1994, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Reformed church in the village. The Gereformeerde Kerk is a hall church built towards the end of the 19th century, with a straight-ended chancel and a wooden façade tower with a recessed spire. The former Hervormde Kerk on the western side of Idskenhuizen was built in 1935 and replaced an earlier church dating from around 1800. In Idskenhuizen, a memorial stone commemorates the founder of the coffee and tea company Douwe Egberts. The church Vermaning gemeente Sneek is also located in the surrounding area. Bramerstraat features a continuous and varied range of buildings, most of which date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
