Oostvaardersplassen

Oostvaardersplassen

The Oostvaardersplassen were reclaimed in 1968, but this wet ground turned out to be unused for a long time.

Nature saw its chance, creating a nature reserve full of swamps, reed beds and willow forests. The reed swamp becomes a safe shelter and breeding area for many different species of birds. And has even become a rest stop for migratory birds between the far north and Africa. In addition to many species of birds, the Oostvaardersplassen is also home to groups of foxes and large grazers such as wild horses and a large herd of elk.

Amsterdam helicopter flight

Lelystad Airport

Fly with us over historic defence bastions such as Naarden Vesting, Muiderslot and Pampus. Enjoy wonderful views of the canal network and the historic city centre of Amsterdam. Combined with Amsterdam Central station, where old meets new, the IJ river with its superb modern architecture and Amsterdam Noord which is currently undergoing development. We then fly on to the rugged countryside of the Oostvaardersplassen lakes and Lelystad, where we also circle above the Batavia VOC ship, a fantastic reconstruction of this piece of iconic Dutch history. The airspace above the city of Amsterdam is controlled by Schiphol Air Traffic Control. The result may be that air traffic control adjusts our route and that Amsterdam is at a greater distance than initially expected.

Tulip Fields helicopter flight

Lelystad Airport

Part of the Netherlands turns into a gigantic sea of flowers from mid-March to mid-May. It starts with the crocus season in March, followed by daffodils and hyacinths. Finally, the tulips show their beautiful colours, this is from mid-April to the first week of May. In the spring season, be amazed by the breathtaking beauty, especially from the air! The beautiful flower colours are incredible and a must-see, or should we say, a must experience. Combine this view over the Dutch landscape with the cities and villages and discover why we love to fly! AVAILABLE IN MARCH, APRIL AND MAY! Pay attention! We depend on the flowering of tulips and the harvests of farmers. We cannot guarantee seeing tulip fields.
