This festival creates a unique atmosphere and is a way to truly enjoy our beautiful city and all the talent that is hidden within.

This event is already running for 13 years in The Hague. Last year extend with a new spot- Veenkade- and this year another new spot in town- Hooikade- Jazz in de Gracht starts at 5 PM and ends around 11 PM.

School holiday boat trip

by

With so many great events and attractions to explore, a boat trip through The Hague is the perfect way to keep the kids entertained during the school holidays. Visit world-class museums and combine your visit with a cruise through The Hague’s canals. Becoming a boat captain can be a time-consuming process, but Jan can teach them some skills in a hour 🙂
School holiday boat trip

A trip to the beach is sure to be popular too, with the kids during your holiday in Scheveningen, especially if you’re here during the spring or summer school holidays. You can even pack a picnic and enjoy a leisurely afternoon in one of The Hague’s many parks or the beach itself, making for a fun day out year-round. School holidays offer the perfect opportunity to get out of the usual routine and explore the city with your whole family.

When it comes to holiday deals, during the first two weeks of May- more or less the Spring school holiday– we offer 1 boarding pass kids ticket for 2 kids. Two for the price of one. And of course mom & dad can join too. “Ahoy Captain, permission to come on board?

The Hague is host to the yearly King’s Night Life I Live festival (or Koningsnach, King’sNight, as it used to be called) on the night before King’s Day.

This King’s Night boat tour is the meet-up for friends or expat networks who want to join in the celebrations. The group-ticket comes with a free bottle of Prosecco and 6-pack Beer. See you 7 PM !

In mid-June, we launched The Hague Boat. The boat was not finished yet, but the summer weather was coming and we already had two private boat tours booked, so go, go!
Jan had six months worked alone on Daisy, in a dark hallway. We needed to switch a little bit, but we have fun together, in our role as Captain & Guide.

Great summer weather has remained and we really enjoyed all the people on board. Guests from Saudi Arabia, Australia, Brazil, Iran, India, Canada, Argentina, USA, and from all over Europe enjoyed our round trip.
