Taking your group to the fairy-tale park

Efteling in Kaatsheuvel is the best-known theme park in the Netherlands, with its Fairy Tale Forest, the Droomvlucht and thrilling roller coasters such as Baron 1898, Python and Joris en de Draak.

A long day out from the north

From Bolsward, Efteling is around 160 kilometres away as the crow flies, and further by road. For groups from Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe, that means an early start and an evening return.

We plan the day so that the driver stays within the legal driving and rest times. If the day gets very long, we include a second driver, and that is clearly stated in the quote.

How the day works

The coach collects the group early in the morning from an agreed pick-up point. There is a break on the way, so everyone arrives feeling fresh. The driver drops you off at the coach entrance and takes his rest during the day.

At the end of the afternoon or early in the evening, the coach is ready again. We match the departure time to Efteling's opening hours on the day.

School trip to Efteling

For primary schools, Efteling is one of the most popular school trip destinations: the youngest pupils love the Fairy Tale Forest, the oldest the roller coasters. With a double-decker, several classes can travel together in one coach.

Clubs, families and senior groups

Efteling is not just for children. Choirs, sports clubs, families and senior groups choose the park precisely because everyone can explore it at their own pace. Let us know when you enquire if some travellers are less steady on their feet, and we will take that into account when planning the breaks.

Winter Efteling or staying the night

Efteling is also open in winter, with an atmospheric winter programme. An outing over the Christmas period is therefore a lovely idea for a staff party or a club.

Would you like to spread the trip over two days? Then stay overnight in a hotel or holiday park nearby; we are happy to help you book it. The driver stays overnight too, and the next day we drive you home or on to a second destination.

Entrance tickets and the right coach

As well as the transport, we can also book the entrance tickets if you wish; an administration fee may apply. You can also buy them yourself, for example as a group ticket from Efteling. Our fleet ranges from a coach for 30 people to double-deckers for 90, and for larger groups we use several coaches.
