Canoe rent for extra adventure

Want to experience the Biesbosch National Park in a calm and active way? Then renting a canoe is a perfect choice. With a canoe, you can reach places that larger boats cannot access. Narrow creeks, quiet corners, and hidden parts of nature make this experience special. For families with children, this is a fantastic addition to the program. It’s sporty, relaxing, and lets you experience the area up close.

Enjoy a day of paddleboarding

Want to discover the Biesbosch National Park in a sporty and relaxing way? Then paddleboarding is a great choice. On a SUP board, you glide silently across the water and experience nature up close. You stand higher than in a canoe, giving you a beautiful view of reed banks, birds, and narrow creeks. It’s accessible, active, and surprisingly relaxing at the same time. For families with children or adventurous adults, paddleboarding is a fun and approachable way to enjoy the water together.

Cycling and walking in nature

Besides the water, the Biesbosch National Park offers beautiful walking and cycling paths. These routes let you experience pure nature and create an active day outdoors.

Museum Island and education

Visit the museum island during your trip and discover everything about the area. This makes the family day not only fun, but also educational.

Playground for the youngest adventurers

Not every family member wants to spend the whole day boating or walking, which is why a playground is a great change of pace. Near the marina and throughout the park, you’ll find play areas where children can safely climb, run, and play. While the kids burn off energy, parents can enjoy the surroundings and relaxed atmosphere.
