Untouched Texel
Dunes, villages and beach
Surroundings
As soon as you board the boat, the holiday can begin. There’s plenty to do on Texel, from culture, nature to action. Take a wonderful beach walk or cycle through the dunes to the wonderful Texel villages. Climb the big red lighthouse and watch the sun rise and set over the sea. Everything here breathes holiday.
De Slufter Nature Reserve
The North Sea has been given free rein in this nature reserve, just like the special marine animals and birds that are frequently found here. Take one of the footpaths and see the channel to the sea and who knows, you may spot a seal.
Ecomare
Seals and sea birds are the natural inhabitants of Texel. At Ecomare, you will catch more than one glimpse of them and learn everything about the lives of these animals, during one of the feeding shows or in the special lab for children.
De Garnalenboot
Sail away on a voyage over the Waddenzee. The skipper shows you what has been caught in the nets: besides shrimps, this includes crabs, weever fish and perhaps a sand shark. And you can take the shrimps home freshly cooked.
