Complete a day in Biesbosch by combining the museum with a cruise. With our whisper boats you sail through narrow creeks and ditches to the most beautiful spots of the Biesbosch. Due to the shallow draft of our boats, we also sail through the ditch of Beneden Petrus, one of the most beautiful Biesbosch creeks.
The lush flora in spring and summer also gives a lot of color in these creeks and ditches. Perhaps you will spot a beaver, eagle or some deer.

In National Park de Biesbosch, just a stone's throw from the attractive city of Dordrecht, you can discover the typical Dutch approach to water, a place where battles against the water have been fought, polders constructed and where man has tamed nature. And a place where flood protection has been achieved by depolderisation, to give areas of wetland back to mother nature.
Come and experience how man and nature can work together.

As one of the last extensive freshwater tidal wetlands in Northwestern Europe, De Biesbosch National Park is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Created following the St. Elizabeth flood of 1421, this marshland serves as a source of inspiration for many a photographer, birdwatcher, holidaymaker, artist and cultural institution. The Biesbosch MuseumEiland charts the past, the present and the future of the area, and places special emphasis on how man has helped to shape and make use of the area. And all in an award-winning building.

Our permanent exhibition tells the unique story of the historical development of the Biesbosch. This way you can discover outside what you have learned inside.
In the permanent exhibition you can discover how the freshwater tidal area came into being after the Sint Elisabethflood of 1421. The inhabitants, their economic activity, their crafts and nature: it is all discussed in sensory-stimulating spaces.

After a spot of fish and sea-eagle spotting, and a boat ride or stroll amongst the beavers and castles, the museum is the perfect place to stop off for a coffee. The Biesbosch experience, a scale model of the area including polders, dykes and streams, provides children with a fun an educational exploration of the region's hydrological features and importance. A 45-minute demonstration will show you how the area's water level goes from extremely low to extremely high and back.
