Phoca Wadden Tours - Boat Trip

An adventurous and educational discovery trip across the Wadden Sea – for young and old alike!
- Unique Wadden experience: Step aboard the Phoca and set out on the Wadden Sea for an unforgettable 3-hour tour full of nature and adventure.
- Walking on the seabed: At low tide you literally disembark to walk across the exposed seabed – a rare experience! With a shrimp net or digging fork, you can search for life in the mud yourself.
- Seal spotting at the Richel: During the trip you sail past the Richel, a sandbank between Vlieland and Terschelling, where dozens of seals often rest. A magical moment for all ages!
- Into the surf with waders: Put on a pair of waders and step waist-deep into the water with a scoop or drag net to discover what lives beneath the surface.
- Small group, big experience: With only 12 participants per trip, you’ll enjoy a personal, intimate nature experience with plenty of room for questions and explanations from the guide.
- Perfect for families: Children love catching little creatures themselves, standing with their feet in the mud, and seeing seals in the wild.
