Recommendations from Ruiterplaat Vakanties:
Zelfplukkerij
At the Zelfplukkerij department you can pick the most delicious fruit yourself during the picking season. It can't be any fresher! After picking, the harvest is weighed and paid for. There is also a jam shop, tea shop and a playground for the little ones. There is freshly made ice cream from our own fruit and there are workshops jam cooking.
Open: July to mid-September: on Mondays and Thursdays (13.00 - 17.00 hrs) More info: Self-picking in Colijnsplaat | Tel. +31 (0) 623167389
Uitspanning Houtzaagwerf
We prefer to keep some secrets to ourselves, such as this idyllic spot in Geersdijk. It's a bit of a search, because you'll pass it in no time. It lies at the bottom of a dike, hidden in the green. In this rural establishment a simple, strongly changing menu is served for a reasonable price. When the weather is nice, the attractive terrace is open. When the weather is bad, you can sit inside at one of the tables by the pot heater. Where the atmosphere is cozy and just as French as outside. That's all we'll tell you.

Walking with donkeys
Walk through the idyllic polder landscape with a donkey as a companion. You can go on your own with a picnic on the pack saddle. Group tours with several donkeys are also organised. Walking with donkeys is very relaxing and is a unique event. Donkeys like to make contact and are able to let adults and children relax. You can compare it with the effect dolphins have on people.
