Book your seal tour with us now!
An intense experience right on the water, close to the seals in a small group of max. 11 people.
Step aboard our fast RIB with Wad Experience Terschelling to see the seals and experience the Wadden Sea at its most beautiful. We sail across the dynamic mudflats to the seals, right in the middle of their natural habitat. Along the way, we pass vast sandbanks where seals lie resting or swim playfully through the water. They are naturally curious, and with a bit of luck, they come surprisingly close.
This tour is a unique opportunity to admire these animals from up close. An unforgettable experience for all ages.
