Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an experienced hiker to join a Dutch Nature Hike?

No, anyone who is physically fit can join.

The Dutch Nature Hikes are for all levels of fitness. The distance is usually around 15 km. We do not walk very fast and we take regular breaks. Walking in a group also helps – it keeps you going!

Why is it called Dutch Nature Hikes?

All hikes are as much as possible in nature, even if they are close to the city.

As an experienced nature guide, I will show you interesting things along the way. We will most likely see birds, insects and flowers. I will also show you edible plants and let you taste it too!

What should I bring on a hike?

A packed lunch, sufficient water and some snacks.

Before each hike, you will receive an email with all the details about the hike, including what to bring. We always have lunch at some point during the hike. It is important to bring sufficient water, as well as clothes that are comfortable to walk in and adapted to the expected weather.

Can I bring my dog?

In some cases, you can bring your dog. Please check with me beforehand.

Whether you can bring your dog depends on where the hike is. In some areas, dogs are not allowed.

How do I join a hike?

Just sign up for one or more hikes on the sign-up page!

Go to the sign-up page and sign up for the hikes you are interested in. You will then receive a payment request for each hike. After payment, your spot on the hike is secured.

Are the hikes suitable for children?

Children who are able to walk about 15 km are welcome to join with their parent(s) or caretaker(s).

For younger children, the Family Nature Walks might be a better fit. These walks are about 5 km long and aimed at families with children.

What is the cost of a hike?

The cost of joining a hike is €12

There might be an additional cost for things like entrance fees or ferry tickets. That will always be specifically indicated on the website.

Do I get my money back if I cancel a hike?

Yes, you get a full refund if you cancel at least 48h before the start of the hike.

You can also use your payment as a credit for a next hike. Just send me an email or a Whatsapp message if you need to cancel. You can find my contact details here.
