The Biesbosch National Park
In The Biesbosch National Park you can walk through the polders, cycle on dikes, along rivers, through willow forests and along villages. But the best way to experience the wet, rugged nature of this wetland area in a boat or canoe on the water. In any case, you will encounter many (water) birds and with a bit of luck you may even spot a beaver! Adventurous excursions are organized by the visitor center in Dordrecht. During the day or at night. Complete with a campfire and exciting stories.
Boat trips De Biesbosch and Rotterdam
The beautiful nature reserve De Biesbosch is best explored from the boat. The Zilvermeeuw canal cruise company organizes the best day trips for the whole family from Drimmelen through the De Biesbosch nature reserve and the metropolis of Rotterdam. Listen to the interesting stories along the way, while you relax with a drink.

Dordrecht
Welcome to the old city of Dordrecht, which is called the oldest city in Holland (and therefore not in the whole of the Netherlands)! Stroll through the historic center with Het Hof and the Grote Kerk, visit one of the museums or go shopping in the Voorstraat, the longest shopping street in the Netherlands.
Nature reserves De Hoeksche Waard
Just south of Rotterdam stretches a vast, open landscape. Here in Hoeksche Waard you will find various nature reserves. From extensive meadow bird areas where you can spot lapwings, redshanks and black-tailed godwits and creek areas to marshy plains and willow fields. You can make good walks over dikes. A nice path is that straight through the willow coppice. This area is also perfect to explore by bike.
World Heritage Site Kinderdijk
The Netherlands is famous for its windmills! Nowhere in the world can you find so many windmills together as in the village of Kinderdijk. Walk or bike along and enjoy a piece of typical Dutch landscape that has been declared a World Heritage Site.
Rotterdam
Rotterdam, World Port World City, is a city you must experience for yourself. A young, dynamic city with an impressive skyline that is not inferior to other world cities. Visit Blijdorp Zoo, walk across the iconic Erasmus Bridge or go shopping and have a bite to eat in the Markthal. For culture lovers there is the Maritime Museum and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Of course, a cruise through the ports of Rotterdam is not to be missed either.
Market Hall
De bruisende Markthal is een foodmarkt die uit zijn voegen barst van verse vis, brood, mals vlees, ontelbare soorten kaas en verse groenten. Boodschappen doen was nog nooit zo leuk! Ook kun je in Markthal aanschuiven voor een hapje, drankje, een lekker lunch of overheerlijk diner.
Plaswijckpark
The Plaswijckpark in Rotterdam is a real family park. Enjoy yourself in the three different 'wijcken'. Have fun in the Speelwijck, discover animal species like eagle owls and alpacas in Dierenwijck or relax in Wandelwijck, where you can also have a picnic.
Ski center Drechtsteden
Skicentrum Drechtsteden is an artificial ski slope and the place for children and adults to learn skiing or snowboarding. Of course you can also ski or snowboard freely!
Climbing Park Fun Forest Rotterdam
You can climb at Fun Forest climbing park in the Kralingse Bos. Here you have to balance on wobbly bridges or strum from one treetop to the nexxt. You feel like a real Tarzan or Jane here!
Diergaarde Blijdorp
Imagine for a day that you are in the Amazon or in Africa in Rotterdam Zoo Blijdorp. Step inside the Asia House, discover the most beautiful butterflies in butterfly paradise Amazonica (with piranhas!) or walk on the seabed in the Oceanium.
De Efteling
Let yourself be enchanted in the wonderful fairytale world called the Efteling. Daredevils will be tempted by the wooden roller coaster Joris en de Draak, De Vliegende Hollander or the dizzying Python, while little fairytale fans can indulge themselves in the Fairytale Forest or in De Droomvlucht.
