Special encounters, a family atmosphere, comfortable accommodations and authentic travel experiences: this is what makes the boutique ships at Boat Bike Tours special. On these small but comfortable ships you travel with a maximum of 24 guests. This is how you make real contacts, sometimes even forming friendships for life. The captain is the owner of the ship and he knows the area like the back of his hand. That‘s why he (or she!) can tell you all about the country and its people, perhaps passing on insider tips as well! Our captains are supported by their well-established crew who take care of everything cheerfully. When can we welcome you on board?
Spring in the Netherlands has its own special magic. And that's not least because of the colorful flower fields that make the landscape glow. Well, do you feel like getting on your bike and cycling through the Dutch tulip fields yourself? Discover our most beautiful tulip tours here!
On a Boat Bike Tours holiday you make use of two sorts of infrastructure that make the Netherlands unique: waterways and bicycle paths. On both of them, you can’t escape seeing water management in action. As you cycle, you’ll see the polders – land that has been reclaimed from lakes or the sea – as well as reservoirs and dikes. While on board the ship you’ll experience what it is like to sail through a lock.
