Why your outing with friends at Outdoor Harderwijk feels right

Friends mountain biking together through the Veluwe woods on an outing with friends in Harderwijk

An outing with friends is more than just doing something together. It's making time for each other, reminiscing and creating new moments. At Outdoor Harderwijk, an outing with friends is all about being outdoors, laughing and heading out together, without set roles or a compulsory programme.

Picture this: you hop on an e-chopper or e-scooter together and head out into the Veluwe. Ride at an easy pace, see plenty and have lots of moments along the way to catch up. Afterwards you sit down for lunch, drinks or a barbecue, indoors or outside on the terrace. Simply sitting together and enjoying the day.

Fancy doing something extra? Then there's room for more action on the mountain bike or a relaxed bike ride around the area instead. You set the pace. One activity or a whole day, anything goes.

We like to keep things simple. Activities, routes, equipment and catering are all arranged in one place. You have one point of contact and we make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether you come with a small group of friends or a bigger crowd, active or relaxed, we'll help you plan and tailor the programme to what suits you. With Anne and Thijs you always have personal contact and short lines of communication.

That's why an outing with friends at Outdoor Harderwijk feels so good. Not because everything is tightly planned, but precisely because there's room to enjoy yourselves together. Outdoors, relaxed and well organised.

5 out of 5 stars

Great experience at Outdoor Harderwijk! The e-choppering was really good fun, we had a lovely girls' day out. We got very clear instructions and the man who helped us did it in a fun, humorous way. Definitely recommended!
