flower fields, tulips' cousins, beach & food
A beach & dahlia bike tour Holland means you’ll meet the tulips’cousins. Fantastic in summer & fall. Great temperatures, hidden gems and colorful flower fields –
Noordwijk beach resort, the town with its cosy centre and beautiful white lighthouse is the starting point of this half day beach and summer flower bike trip. The summer flowers in the Keukenhof area are not as huge as the tulip fields in spring, but the gladiolus, montbretia, lilies and dahlia field do make awesome views as well. Before we get to the fields, we first cycle a bit along the coast, through the dunes. We have a drink overlooking the lake, or head straight to the windmill. Following the canal we look out on the typical Dutch polders until we reach another stop. Will we be picking dahlias and other summer flowers at a unique tea garden or fresh fruit in the orchard? The Holland beach and summer flower bike tour is adaptable to your wishes. Let me know on forehand what you like to see and do.

Roads are flat and although we do share roads with cars, cycling in the surroundings of Keukenhof is comfortable. The route is bike-friendly. Besides, I keep an eye on you and the traffic and make sure you’re safe.
