The Island of Texel

Texel is the largest of the eight Wadden Islands. The island hosts a variety of charming villages surrounded by nature reserves, wealth of flaura and fauna everuwhere. Fun fact, there are as many sheep as people on the island of Texel! The island offers you a fantastic holiday spot in all seasons. In Spring, new life appears and the lambs frolic in the meadows. In summer, relax on the beach or enjoy the beautiful weather by bike. Get a breath of fresh air on the many beaches and dunes in Autumn and Winter. Great trip on its own, or to extend your 8- days tour in the Netherlands.

Vlieland day- cruise

Enjoy your boat- trip to Vlieland, the smallest inhabited Wadden Island in the Netherlands. The island is car- free, with only one village, East- Vlieland with a bit more than 1000 people living here. Vlieland is known for its extensive dunes, wide sandy beaches and forests, ideal for walks and bike- rides and for visitors who appreciate unspoilt beauty, tranquility and breathtaking large sandy plains that regularly flood during the tides.

Seal safari- trip

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 Texel to the sandbanks where we encounter the seals at about 50 meters distance. The Wadden Islands are very popular with seals, but chance is that we also get to see dolphins swimming next to the bow of the boat. Not necessary, but if you have these, bring your binoculars!

Visit seal sanctuary

When on Texel, visit ecomare. The seal sanctuary takes care of seals in need of help. Not all seals found on the beach need help, only the ones that would not survive on their own like young animals that lost their mothers and seals weakened by illness. If they are doing well again, the seals will be released on the beaches of the Island, or on a sandbank in the Wadden Sea. There are also permanent residents at Ecomare like old seals that are blind and therefore can no longer be released. Be amazed by the sea- aquarium that simulates various habitats underneath the water- surface and Ecomare’s nature museum with fascinating exhibitions.

Explore Texel by bike

The Wadden Islands have one of the best cycling routes of the Netherlands, offering many kilometers of different cycling tracks. Diversity is great with routes for recreational cycling, mountain biking and tracks for racing cyclists. Explore the coast and cycle through dunes, the countryside and along the coastline making stops at beautiful towns and villages.  Salty sea air, fresh seafood… 

Oysters picking & eating

Enrich your stay on the islands with delicious seafood. On many places on Texel and the Wadden Sea you can collect sea-fresh oysters yourself from the mudflats, all you need: boots and a bucket! Fresh oysters are the tastiest from September to May, cause of the breeding period in Summer a bit too oily and milky. But with the many many available oysters bred in the oyster pits, enjoy the taste of the best oysters all year round. Let the delicious Dutch specialities find their way to your plate!
