The whole year through
Discover the port from the water
Climb aboard for a boat trip and see for yourself how enormous container ships are and how high cranes tower above everything. With a bit of luck, you may even spot seals basking in the sun or swimming by in search of a bite to eat. Play a game on board: can you spot that giant turbine, a seagull or a large anchor along the way? Tick off what you spot and discover how many you can find!
Helios Experience
In Portlantis, you will not only discover how the port works today, but also what tomorrow’s transport might look like. Step inside Helios Concepts and discover smart solutions for the transport of the future. Experience this spectacular attraction that you won’t want to miss.
Fossil expedition
