Wadden Sea Cruise and Seal Safari

Enjoy a half-day at sea spotting seals, porpoises, and more animals in their natural habitat in the Wadden Sea and visiting Medemblik.

Wadden Sea Cruise and Seal Safari

Meet at the Amsterdam River Cruise Dock for a bus ride to the Wadden Sea, which lasts 90 minutes and showcases Holland's rural beauty, including farms, villas, and windmills.

Upon arrival at the coast, board a boat to cruise the Wadden Sea. During this cruise, you can observe grey seals, porpoises, and other wildlife in the coastal wetlands and tidal system.

The Wadden Sea, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, serves as a crucial stop for millions of migratory birds and features a calm sea with minimal wave risk. The cruise will include sailing along the levee between North Holland and Friesland, which safeguards the lowlands from flooding.

After the boat trip, return to the harbor and travel through Twisk to the historic town of Medemblik on the IJsselmeer coast. You will have free time to explore its narrow streets, visit the windmill, brewery, and castle, shop, or dine.

Finally, depart Medemblik by bus for the return journey to Amsterdam.
