About
Sinterklaas sails into Scheveningen harbor on his pakjesboot, the gift boat, and The Hague turns out to greet him. Once the boat docks, he is welcomed on stage, then sets off with his entourage on a ride through the streets of The Hague. It suits kids who still believe and families who want to see the tradition up close. It is less fun for kids who hate crowds.
