The WaterShuttle is a fast boat, not a tourist cruise: it leaves from the jetty at the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam and in about 30 minutes drops you at the entrance to Kinderdijk, with no changes. On the way you see the Rotterdam skyline, the shipyards and the river landscape. Bikes go free.
Tickets and season
A single costs €9.75 and a return €19.50 (half price for ages 4 to 12; free for under-4s). The combined ticket, with return and admission to the windmills, costs €32.50 (€15 for ages 4 to 12) and does not require you to choose a time: you board the boat that suits you. In season it sails every day; from late October, from Friday to Sunday. On busy days the last boat back fills up: do not leave it too late.
Frequently asked questions
Is it the same as the Waterbus?
No. The Waterbus is public transport and does not go direct; the WaterShuttle has its own ticket and goes direct to Kinderdijk.
Does it run in winter?
Yes, from Friday to Sunday, except 25 December.
