Holland: Self-Guided Cycling Holidays and Small Group Bike and Barge Adventures

Enjoy a cycling and barge holiday of Holland - explore the river ways, lakes and languid canals by bike as you move to the turn of a windmill along quiet country backroads that lead into small cobble stoned Dutch villages. It is easy to see why the old masters elected to depict the beauty of the Dutch countryside. The West Frisian countryside is characterised by its world-famous tulip fields which display a kaleidoscope of colours. A cycling holiday through these fields is a unique experience - cycling below sea-level & past picturesque fishing villages that hug the waterways.

A cycling holiday in the Netherlands truly is one of the best ways to explore the country. From the traditional Dutch landscape of lush green countryside, seashore & dunes, dykes, mills, cheese and tulips: you can experience it all in our wide range of bike and barge tours. On the eastern side of Holland, you’ll experience a landscape dominated by heath, forests and age-old villages - as well as many small islands, bridges, canals and traditional Dutch boats.  Mostly flat, this is a great family cycling holiday for adults and children alike.  Be sure to take a closer look at our accommodation options - join a barge trip or take our hotel based option.

Utracks Europe offers a range of guided and self-guided tours to help you cycle, boat and barge your way through Holland on a small group adventure holiday.
