I had three friends in town and wanted to get out of Amsterdam for a few hours. I cannot recommend this highly enough! It is a great way to see the countryside, have some fun and visit some local producers (cheese farmers, breweries). Lovely places to stop for food and drinks along the way.

The Volendam Marken Express Ferry to Marken was fantastic with a very neat clean and well-maintained ferry. Captain Richard's hospitality was simply the best including inviting us in his cabin and showing us how the meters n the ship works, gave us background of how the dam to separate the sea n River was built and how the transformation from 450 boats to 4 fishermen boat happened - a memory we will never forget! Captain Richard went out of his way to ensure all passengers enjoyed the ride and provided a great trip! We would highly recommend this experience. Thanks Captain Richard you are awesome!!

If you visit Volendam, a picture in Volendam costume is an unbeatable memory. Photographer Zwarthoed is a true Volendam photo studio with real photographers. Our photo studio has been in existence since 1920 and we have photographed countless people in Volendam's costume. Such as groups, families, business colleagues, toerists, couples, children, adults etc. Our costumes are original and always freshly washed. The accessories and attributes we use are old and original volendams. Those details make a picture in costume the real thing. Having your picture taken is a fantastic and funny experience and you also get a perfect foto. A reminder of a great day in Volendam. We would like to welcome you in our friendly photo studio!

Don't let photos of crowds put you off (as nearly happened to me) about Volendam. While the shops along the waterfront (not very long, only a few blocks) obviously cater to tourists there are nice restaurants and gorgeous vistas along the shore and into the town itself.
