Biesbosch: winter full of nature fun
Discover the magical winter in the Biesbosch with fun and educational activities for young and old. Take a surprising winter walk through the beautiful Hel- and Zuilespolder, accompanied by an experienced Biesbosch guide. Walk through the constantly changing landscape with picturesque meadows, dikes, pollard willows, reeds and forests.

An exciting experience for curious children aged 8 and up. Or experience the winter calm of the Biesbosch from the water during the Winterse Biesbosch Fluistervaartocht. Step aboard open whisper boat the Sterling and get carried away by the enchanting winter landscape. Blankets on board will keep you warm during the trip! Want to give the birds a hand this winter? Then come make fat balls and peanut strings, a fun activity for kids. Hang these in your yard and help the birds get through the winter. Come enjoy a winter full of nature fun in the Biesbosch!
Cruise around this winter
A canal cruise is also a good idea in winter. This is possible through DRIJF Dordrecht. For example, with a group tour or with a private tour for up to twelve people, or during the Dordtse Decemberdagen. "We sail from December 13 to 30 during the Dordtse Decemberdagen," says Jacob van Poppel. "During this period the sailing route/inner city is of course beautifully lit so it's great to sail then. Through the Kleinschippersgilde you can buy a ticket per person." At Si Barone - which also sails during the Dordt December Days - you'll enjoy a heated canal cruise during the cooler period, such as the shared group canal cruise on weekends. And: there are fine plaids aboard the boats for extra coziness! For the private tours, they provide a - warm - snack and drink on board if guests wish. For this period, in addition to the usual options for snacks and drinks, you can also opt for hot chocolate or mulled wine on board. During the day, as always, they also provide brunch/lunch, coffee/tea/hot chocolate and sweet treats from Coffeelicious, which will be hoisted on board!
The skis on
Winter sports start in already in Dordrecht! At Skischool Drechtsteden in the Hollandse Biesbosch, located on the Vogelaarsweg, you can ski or snowboard. The artificial ski slope is the ideal place for children and adults to learn skiing or snowboarding for all ages and levels. Experienced winter sports enthusiasts can improve their technique and maintain their fitness here. Qualified teachers will guide you with all their love and skill. A perfect outing this winter!
Also inside the slats under!
At Roundhill Indoor Ski & Snowboard on Mijlweg, you also experience a real winter activity. You can take ski and snowboard lessons on two identical ski tracks that measure no less than five by nine meters. On these courses you ski down the runway together with a qualified instructor. Go for a single ski or snowboard lesson or for a private ski or snowboard lesson. Got the taste for it? Then get a season or family card!
Skates out of the grease!
A real winter outing, that is the skating rink of Sportboulevard Dordrecht. Optisport has an ice hockey rink, a fun rink and, last but not least, a 275-meter ice rink. In other words: ice fun for young and old! This winter there are all kinds of extra activities at the ice rink: a Buffalo night, Frozen Friday and recreational skating. Santa on Ice on Boxing Day and 'third' Christmas Day even with a Christmas DJ. It is winter enjoyment at the ice rink!
