Wadden Sea Cruise and Seal Safari

Enjoy a half-day at sea spotting seals, porpoises, and more in the Wadden Sea, and visiting the town of Medemblik.

Wadden Sea Cruise and Seal Safari

Meet at the Amsterdam River Cruise Dock and take a 90-minute bus trip to the Wadden Sea coast, where you'll see Holland's rural landscape, including farms, villas, and windmills.

Upon arrival, board the boat to cruise the Wadden Sea. From the boat, observe grey seals, porpoises, and other wildlife in the coastal wetlands and tidal system.

The Wadden Sea, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is an essential stop for migratory birds and features calm waters with minimal waves. During the cruise, sail along the levee between North Holland and Friesland, which protects the lowlands from flooding.

The boat trip concludes at the same harbor from which it departed. Afterward, pass through the 17th-century village of Twisk to Medemblik on the IJsselmeer coast. Enjoy free time to explore the narrow streets, visit the windmill, brewery, and castle, or dine and shop.

Return to Amsterdam by bus from Medemblik.
