Cycling Holidays in the Netherlands
Your Perfect Cycling Holiday in the Netherlands Starts Here
Hello en welkom in Nederland! Historic cities, charming harbor towns, winding rivers and canals, North Sea islands, sandy beaches, tulip fields in full color, dikes, windmills, world-class museums — there’s simply a lot to discover here. And much of it is surprisingly easy to explore by bike.
Our cycling holidays in the Netherlands are just as varied as the country itself. With roughly 35,000 kilometers of mostly flat, well-developed cycle paths, plus excellent infrastructure, the Netherlands is one of those places that feels almost made for cycling. Even if you don’t ride that often.
Getting around is straightforward thanks to the Dutch junction system, which makes it easy to follow scenic, interesting routes without constantly checking a map or GPS.
Whether you prefer to travel on your own bike or like the idea of combining cycling with a boat & bike holiday, we offer a wide range of tours that let you experience the landscapes, culture and everyday life of the Netherlands at your own pace.

Discover why cyclists love the Netherlands
From our bestselling self-guided tours to scenic bike & boat adventures, each holiday is carefully designed to let you experience the best of Dutch landscapes, cities, and culture. Whether it’s cycling along peaceful lakeshores, exploring colorful tulip fields, or cruising past windmills on the canals, there’s something for every type of cyclist here.
To explore the heart of the Netherlands, we recommend one of our bestselling tours: the bike tour around IJsselmeer. You’ll ride along flat cycle paths through charming fishing villages and historic Hanseatic towns, completing a loop around the largest lake in the Netherlands. Experience a region rich in history, culture, windmills, and countless canals – a true paradise for cyclists.
Our cycling tour in Holland is another favorite. Starting in Utrecht, you’ll discover historic and vibrant cities such as Amsterdam, Haarlem, Rotterdam, and Gouda, stage by stage. Between these urban highlights, you’ll cycle through scenic landscapes of lakes, meadows, and moors. On the stage from Zandvoort to The Hague, you even get a taste of the rough North Sea – cycling with the breeze on your face!
The Netherlands is just as beautiful from the water. On our bike and barge tour in the Netherlands you travel from Enkhuizen along the coasts of Friesland and North Holland, reaching the North Sea island of Texel. Back in Enkhuizen, you can look back on a relaxing journey through some of the country’s most picturesque regions.
For a southern Dutch adventure, our boat and bike in the Netherlands takes you from Rotterdam along cycle and river paths through the landscapes of Dordrecht, Gorinchem, and Utrecht, crisscrossed by polders, meadows, and tulip fields. Optionally, visit the world-famous porcelain town of Delft or enjoy the North Sea breeze on the beach at Scheveningen – a perfect mix of cycling, culture, and relaxation.
