Day Trip to De Biesbosch National Park with a Chauffeur

A day trip to De Biesbosch National Park with a private chauffeur takes you in comfort to one of the last freshwater tidal areas in Europe. You travel there and back at ease while the chauffeur handles the route and the parking, so you can concentrate on the water, the willow forests and the quiet.

What Makes De Biesbosch Special?

De Biesbosch is a sprawling landscape of creeks, willow beds and small islands, formed after the St Elizabeth’s flood. It is a haven for birds, beavers and walkers, and it is at its best from the water. On a whisper boat or sightseeing cruise you glide silently through the area, a completely different side of the Netherlands from the city.

How a Chauffeured Day Trip Works

From Amsterdam the drive to the area near Dordrecht takes roughly an hour and a quarter. Your chauffeur brings you to the departure point of a boat trip or to a visitor centre and collects you afterwards. Lunch along the way, or a visit to historic Dordrecht, fits comfortably into the same day. The car stays with you throughout, which is the practical difference between this and a train and taxi combination: luggage, coats and shopping stay in the vehicle between stops.

Who Is This Ideal For?

• Nature lovers who want to experience the water and the birdlife
• Guests looking for a calm, green day outside the city
• Families who want to combine nature with a boat trip

For a trip across the border, Bruges as a day trip from Amsterdam is the usual alternative.
