Close by on the Veluwemeer

From Bolsward, Harderwijk is around 80 kilometres away as the crow flies. For groups from Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel, that makes the Dolfinarium a pleasant day out: no very early start, yet plenty of time for all the shows.

Planning around the shows

The day revolves around the shows and presentations. Check the park's show schedule for your date in advance; we will then time your arrival so that the group does not miss the first show.

The driver drops you off at the coach entrance, takes his rest during the day and is ready again at the agreed time.

A school trip to the Dolfinarium

For primary schools, the Dolfinarium is a much-loved school trip with plenty to learn: pupils see marine mammals up close and hear about their life in the sea.

Senior groups and clubs

With its easy-to-navigate layout and shows to watch, the Dolfinarium is also a lovely destination for senior groups and clubs. If any travellers are less steady on their feet, let us know when you request a quote and we will drop the group off as close to the entrance as possible.

Combine it with Harderwijk

The Dolfinarium is close to Harderwijk's historic town centre and the promenade along the Veluwemeer. If you are making a longer day of it, you can add a stroll through this old Hanseatic town after the park. The coach picks you up again at the agreed spot.

The right coach for your group

For a smaller group our 30-seat coach is ideal; for larger groups we have coaches for 55 to 66 passengers and double-deckers for 90. For even bigger groups we use several coaches.
