Famous fruit experience and cruise
Your day begins with a visit to the National Fruit Park in Ochten, one of the Netherlands' most unique fruit gardens. Home to more than 500 fruit trees and shrubs representing approximately 250 traditional and modern fruit varieties, the park is a true paradise for nature lovers.
During a guided tour led by the park's founder, you'll discover the fascinating world of fruit cultivation, learn practical gardening tips and hear inspiring stories about the history and development of the orchard. Depending on your programme, you'll also have time to explore the children's farm, the market square, the vegetable garden or simply relax in the welcoming restaurant with coffee, lunch or regional specialities.
After lunch, your journey continues to the charming town of Leerdam, where you'll board one of the comfortable vessels of Leerdam Cruises for a relaxing cruise along the picturesque River Linge.
Both cruise boats are fully wheelchair accessible, allowing every guest to enjoy this beautiful experience. From the luxurious indoor saloons or the spacious outdoor decks, you'll admire one of the Netherlands' most scenic river landscapes, with historic villages, orchards, windmills and peaceful countryside slowly passing by.
This Betuwe Fruit Experience is the perfect combination of nature, local traditions, relaxation and authentic Dutch hospitality, making it an ideal group day trip for associations, senior groups, companies and private parties.
