Wet 'n Wild

De kabelskibaan is al sinds 1998 de plek waar vele watersporters zich uitleven. Omdat wij gebruik maken van een kabelskibaan zijn zowel beginnende als gevorderde waterskiërs bij ons aan het juiste adres. De waterskiërs en wakeboarders worden met een snelheid van 30 km per uur voort getrokken. Gevallen? Geen enkel probleem! Zwem naar de kant, klim erop en probeer het opnieuw. De kabel is 780 meter lang en draait linksom. Naast het waterskiën en wakeboarden is het ook mogelijk om te wakeskaten en kneeboarden aan de kabel. Gaat de kabel u iets te hard, dan kunt er voor kiezen om te gaan Suppen. Uiteraard zijn alle benodigde materialen om veilig het water op te gaan bij ons te huur.

Archeon

Reviewed By benjamin12015 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Really interesting and beautiful place that is certainly worth a visit. Even though Archeon is a great place for kids we visited as adults and had a great time and found it to be very interesting. It's particularly nice how everything is open and you can really touch and interact with the exhibitions. If you have the Museumkaart or just fancy doing something different when in the Netherlands I would highly reccomend a visit!

Vogelpark Avifauna

Reviewed By AmsterdamAlfie - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This bird park is special and we loved it so much we went twice (for free) during an overnight stay at the adjacent hotel. Social distancing rules, hand sanitiser dispensers and an effective one way system made us feel safe during our visit. Some very special birds, and other creatures, here. The Lori Parakeets area was busy but unmissable. The bird show was worth grabbing an armband for. The website didn't mention the new baby red panda born last month. Maybe because it's still inside being kept warm by mummy and isn't visible to the public.  On our first visit we didn't see a red panda but we got luckier on our second visit, catching a brief glimpse of an adult.  I've read that it might be three months before the baby is on show to the public but ultimately it's going to Portugal to live with Dad. Study the park map carefully as with the one way exit being 3 quarters of the way around the park it's easy to miss the last quarter  The information displayed by the enclosures was in Dutch so some international visitors may feel let down. Creature name is in English and there's a map showing where they are from.  The bird show was in Dutch.  If you don't speak Dutch don't worry you'll have a good time regardless.   Once the main park closed the Casa Havana party centrum kicks off with a Nederlands Slager feest.  Not my cup of tea but the locals had fun. Overall it was an enjoyable visit.
