What to expect

Go on a private day trip to the Delta Works, a large flood protection system known as one of the seven modern wonders of the world. Together with your guide, you will visit the artificial island of Neeltje Jans and discover how the Dutch keep the ocean at bay.

At the Delta Works, the largest flood protection system in the world comprised of 13 integrated sections, you will learn how the Dutch defy the forces of nature and keep a country that lies largely under sea level afloat.

The tour will also introduce you to the scenic surrounding area with its beautiful beaches and plentiful culinary hotspots. You will have the chance to explore the small manmade island of Neeltje Jans, which was created to support the dam system. A visit to the educational exhibit about the 1953 North Sea Flood with a panoramic view of the aftermath, film images, and special effects complements your tour.

Check out other Delta theme park highlights including the whale expo, the seals and sea-lions colonies, the hurricane machine, and much more. At the end of the day, your guide will drive you back to your accommodation.
