Horse-Drawn Trolley Tours

Take a tour of our city centrum on an Orangestad Paardetram, or horse-drawn trolley. You’ll enjoy a relaxing and informative tour of the downtown area as tour guides provide interesting facts and stories about Orange City, its sites and its settlers.

The horse-drawn trolleys were constructed by the Dutch Heritage Boosters and debuted at the 1989 Tulip Festival. The trolleys each have a seating capacity of 30 to 40 people, and are painted in a traditional Hindeloopen style.

Location

Cost
