Boat · half day · Waterbus line 20 from the Merwekade along the rivers to Ridderkerk and the small Driehoeksveer ferry to the windmills. Day ticket €16.10.

The prettiest way to get from Dordrecht to the windmills of Kinderdijk is by water. The Waterbus is a fast public transport boat linking Dordrecht with Rotterdam along the rivers, with stops in the villages on the bank. From the Merwekade you take line 20, get off at the Schans de Ridderkerk stop and there cross the river on the Driehoeksveer, a small ferry that drops you at Kinderdijk in a few minutes.
Tickets
You pay for the Waterbus by tapping your contactless card on the reader, or with a €16.10 day ticket (€5.20 for ages 4 to 11), which is worth it if you go and return. On board you can only pay by card. The Driehoeksveer is not part of the Waterbus and is paid separately. Bikes go on free: if you have one, you can get off at Alblasserdam and cycle a quarter of an hour along the dyke.
If there is no boat
From Monday to Friday, bus 93 leaves every hour from platform B at Dordrecht station for Kinderdijk; on any day, the 416 takes you to Alblasserdam, where you change to the 489. Check the timetables the day before you leave.

Lo organiza: Waterbus, desde 16.1 € per adult (ages 12 to 65) (https://www.waterbus.nl/en/tickets-and-prices/tickets-and-fares/)
