Fortress Boat Tour
- ± 1.25 hours
- Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed
Discover the fortress city of 's-Hertogenbosch from the water
From April 1 to October 31, join Kring Vrienden van ‘s-Hertogenbosch to sail along the city’s impressive fortifications. City walls and moats have protected the inhabitants since 1185. During the Fortress boat route, a skipper-guide tells you all about the history, from the first city walls to the attack by Frederik Hendrik in 1629.
*Along the way, you’ll moor at Bastionder, an underground museum featuring a short film and the imposing medieval cannon De Boze Griet. Please note: access is only via a steep staircase; there is no elevator available.*
The tour continues via the Groote Hekel to the mysterious Hellegat, an exciting vaulted section nearly 100 meters long where you can’t see your hand in front of your face without light. Not a fan of the long tunnel and prefer a different route? Then choose the Historical boat route or the Hertogstad boat route. Book your boat tour and experience a great story!

Amazing boat tour! We were expecting our tour to be in Dutch but because our family were the only ones on the tour they had a guide who could do the tour in English. I wouldn't expect that but it was great for us that they were able to do it 🙂 Very informative tour and we all really enjoyed it.Posted on Google![]()

I had a guest from another province in Den Bosch. What a lovely experience, not only for my guest but also for me. Because let's be honest, how well do you really know your city? So, we both thoroughly enjoyed the friendly guide and his wonderful stories. Highly recommended!!

It was a wonderful tour through the "underworld" of 's-Hertogenbosch. Peter told some fascinating stories about the city. A must-do when visiting.
