Taking the water bus to Kinderdijk was easy. There should be some information at the Kinderdijk water bus station on how to get to door direct we had to ask the water bus employee, not knowing that you had to go back towards Rotterdam in order to go to Dodrecht. But overall, the water bus experience was excellent well oiled machine.

The water taxi trip was very good and the staff helpful. I loved walking around the windmills and taking many photos. Kinderdyjk is a great place to see so many windmills at one site.

Full description

Step aboard Waterbus and travel by water to explore beautiful destinations such as Dordrecht, Rotterdam, UNESCO World Heritage Site Windmill village Kinderdijk and discover the beautiful spots of the Biesbosch.

Traveling with Waterbus is easy, fast, and comfortable. Take a seat in one of the indoor seats or stay on the outside deck with your hair in the wind and the sun on your face. The skyline of Rotterdam is beautiful from the water. And the beautiful historic Dordrecht is more than worth a visit. Stroll through the old center or enjoy a drink on a terrace.


Of course, you will also visit Kinderdijk. Nothing better than a visit to the windmills over the water. Step into one of the windmills and dive into the history of the Netherlands in general.

Discover the most beautiful spots and the many possibilities of the Biesbosch via hiking trips, cycling routes, per boat or with canoes.

Take your bike or scooter on board and spend a day exploring and traveling across the water.
