Zierikzee in Zeeland

Thinking of the Province of Zeeland, think of water… Driving through nature reserves and drowned land, we come across many bridges, dams, beautiful towns and villages, each with an eventful history tracing back many centuries. Each island in Zeeland has its own strong character, just like the local ‘Zeelanders’ themselves.  Nowhere has traditional life remained so intact as in Zierikzee, therefore one of the most important monumental towns in the Netherlands… and a wonderfull place to stay at seaside!

Dutch watermanagement

Water still plays an indispensable role in the Netherlands, especially in Zeeland. In 1953 dikes collapsed in a storm, the incoming water swept everything in its way. Now the threat coming from sea has been tamed by the storm surge barriers and the water has become a companion of the many water sports enthusiasts. That is why we drive to the Delta Works, our world famous water defense works. We pay visit to the Neeltje Jans park that tells you everything about the history of the Delta Works and the finesse of Dutch watermanagement.

Sailing and eating mussels

Sailing and eating mussels, our mussel cruise gives you the ideal sensation! During the tour with a small mussel trawl we visit the highlights of the Oosterschelde river, sailing past mussel plots, learning about fishing techniques, discovering what lives on the bottom of the Oosterschelde, such as crabs, seaweeds and starfish.
Relax with super fresh mussels on your plate and enjoy the scenery Zeeland has to offer you.

Seal safari- cruise

Seals love to swim and cover considerable distances, that is why we have seals from the North- coast to the South of the Netherlands. The seal safari- trip leaves from Zierikzee in the Oosterschelde river and sails under the Zeeland bridge to the sandbanks where we encounter the seals at about 50 meters distance. The Zeeland delta is very popular with seals, but chance is that we also get to see Dutch dolphins swimming next to the bow of the boat. Not necessary, but if you have these, bring your binoculars!

Explore Zeeland by bike

Zeeland is one of the best-rated cycling provinces in the Netherlands, offering hundreds of kilometers of different cycling routes. The diversity is great with routes for recreational cycling, mountain biking and tracks for racing cyclists. Explore the Zeeland riviera and cycle through dunes, the forest, countryside and along the coastline making stops at beautiful towns and villages.  Salty sea air, fresh seafood… 

Oysters & mussels in Yerseke

Zeeland has a rich food culture, both in terms of restaurants and delicious food originating from ‘the Oosterschelde’ river. The area is one of Europe’s cleanest and nutrient- rich sources of crustaceans and shellfish, including oysters. The oyster cultivation has its origins in the village of Yerseke, traditions and modern developments go together in the authentic oyster pits. Enjoy to taste the best oysters and let the delicious Zeeland mussels find their way to your plate!
