When is a second driver needed for a trip to Efteling?

When the total duty, including the outward and return journeys and the waiting time at the park, is longer than one driver is allowed to drive. We work this out for you in advance and include it in the quote.

Can you arrange an overnight stay near Efteling?

We are happy to help book a hotel nearby. An administration fee may apply for this service. The driver also stays overnight and takes you onwards the next day.

Does a whole primary school fit in one coach?

A double-decker has room for 90 people. If your group is larger, we travel with several coaches that depart and arrive together.

Do you also drive to Winter Efteling?

Yes, we operate all year round. For a winter journey we allow some extra time for the weather and traffic on the roads.

Is there a break on the way to Kaatsheuvel?

Yes, on a journey of this length we schedule a break. That way the group arrives refreshed and the driver takes his compulsory rest.

Coach travel to Efteling.

From the north of the Netherlands, the drive to Efteling is quite a distance. In a coach from ITS-Reizen your group travels in comfort, an experienced driver is at the wheel and the journey itself becomes part of the outing. For school trips, staff days, choirs and senior groups, with coaches and double-deckers for up to 90 people.

A relaxed journey to Brabant and back

Travelling from Friesland, Groningen or Drenthe in the north to Kaatsheuvel easily takes up a large part of the morning. On a coach, that is not wasted time: the group sits together, there is a break on the way and nobody has to drive through the evening rush hour after a long day in the park.

ITS-Reizen matches the type of vehicle to your group. For a small club a 55-seat coach is enough; for an entire primary school or a large company we deploy a double-decker or several coaches travelling together.

A long journey, well divided

A day trip to Efteling from the north means a good number of hours on the road there and back, plus a full day in the park. A driver may not stay behind the wheel indefinitely, and we take that into account in our planning.

We check the journey against the driving and rest times in advance. If the duty becomes too long for one driver, a second driver comes along to take over the wheel halfway. That keeps things safe for everyone, including on the way home in the dark.

A double-decker for the whole school

When several classes from one primary school visit the park at the same time, the whole group often fits in a single double-decker with room for 90 people. The ITS-Reizen double-deckers have a toilet and an onboard kitchen, which makes a long journey with children much calmer.

If the group is larger, we travel with several vehicles that set off together. The supervisors know exactly which children are on which coach, and on arrival the whole school walks to the entrance together.

Two days at Efteling and the surrounding area

From the north, a day in the park makes for a long stretch. Many groups therefore choose to stay overnight near Kaatsheuvel. On the first day you travel to Brabant at your leisure and enjoy a full day in the park; on the second day you make the return journey, perhaps with a stop in a town along the way.

If you wish, we can help book a hotel and the entrance tickets. Please bear in mind that we may charge an administration fee for this. The driver also stays overnight nearby and is ready for you again the next morning.

A staff party in winter

Efteling has an atmosphere all of its own in the darker months, with fairy lights, fire baskets and a winter programme. A Christmas outing for colleagues or a club fits in perfectly. With a coach, nobody has to drive home on wintry roads afterwards.

For winter trips we allow a little more travel time. In icy conditions or heavy traffic we adjust the departure time so the group arrives safely and on time. At the end of the day the heated coach is waiting at the agreed spot.

Seniors and passengers with reduced mobility

For senior groups and pensioners' associations, Efteling is a popular day out, precisely because it has quieter areas such as the Fairy Tale Forest. On a coach everyone sits comfortably and there is a set break on the way to stretch your legs.

If someone is travelling with a folding wheelchair or rollator, please let us know beforehand: it usually goes in the luggage hold. The driver drops the group as close to the entrance as coaches are allowed to stop, so the walk stays short.
