Want to drive a minibus yourself? That is not possible here: BusOffer.com compares coaches and buses with a driver. You hire a minibus without a driver from a rental company.

For a school camp or a club going to Ameland, Holwert is where the coach journey ends. Wagenborg charges a group rate from 15 people, and the group then travels out and back on the same sailings. If the coach goes onto the island too, you register it as a vehicle; for a vehicle longer than 5.5 metres, Wagenborg charges per metre.

Our page about a school camp on Ameland covers what the ferry company says about groups, and how long the crossing takes.
