Experience a full day at the beautiful Friesian island of Texel and its surrounding UNESCO World Heritage site Waddensea!

The Waddensea is famous for its distinctive difference between high and low tide, the bird migration and its beautiful nature. If the tide and weather provides, we will include a short hiking excursion on the mudflats, the actual bottom of the Waddensea. In one of the historic villages we will stop for lunch (not included).

5.00Highly recommend Dutch tours!! They were great from booking all way up to the tour its self. So helpful with any and all questions kind and fun to hang out with and so prepared!! We did a full day tour to Texel island we’re I also got to enjoy an incredible horse back riding experience. So knowledgeable and allowed us to pick what we wanted to see. Snacks drinks and even extra clothes if needed there was some rain and I was able to borrow water proof cover pants for my trail ride! Even helped us pay our parking and figure that out, I can’t recommend them enough! Book through their website dutchtours.com!!

5.00We really enjoyed spending the day with Sarah and her daughter, Elizabeth. We added the horseback riding option to our tour and it was fantastic. Nothing like riding through the woods! Sarah took us through several small villages, the beach and an impromptu bird watching stop on our way back to the ferry. In all, a great day away from the city.

5.00Eva (and Sarah) with Dutch Tours are the perfect guides for tour skeptics. Eva is good humored, knowledgeable, clearly loves the place(s) and simply makes things easy for those without transportation who want to get a little less accessible area. She had a few favorite spots, but capacity to customize with our small group. Thoroughly enjoyed the day with my daughter and a few other travelers.

5.00The dunes, the sandy beaches, the lighthouse, walking on the bottom of the sea during low tide - what an amazing experience!
Wonderful Day exploring and learning about Texel Island

5.00We had an amazing day with Eva riding through the countryside as we moved to Texel Island. The drive was long but full of beauty and informational as we learned about dikes and the water systems and much more. The ferry ride over to the island is streamlined and smooth and once on the island we visited several of the small towns and explored their lovely architecture. The beaches are ready for visitors when the weather warms up. We also went on a boat trip to a sandbar where there were many seals sunning. Then a ride back to the ferry and Amsterdam after a full day of exploring. Dutch tours are fabulous and I highly recommend using them. Knowledgable and attentive with tours that are different than the norm. And they'll make a private tour if there is something special you want to do.
