Wad walking

Wad walking is a unique experience you can’t miss during your stay in Friesland. It’s the perfect way to discover the Wadden Sea, experience nature up close and enjoy the vast, untouched landscape.

Explore the Wadden Sea

Wad walking is an adventure in itself. During low tide, you walk on the Wadden Sea bed, surrounded by mudflats and marine life. This ancient ritual takes you across uninhabited islets, mudflats and sandbanks. It’s an experience that brings you closer to nature than ever.

Seals and seashells

On your walk, you’ll often spot seals, curiously watching you from the sandbanks. You’ll also find seashells, crabs and other sea creatures along the coast. The Wadden Sea is full of life, and a guide will take you to the most beautiful spots.

Guided tours and safety

The best way to wad walk is with a guide who will explain the nature, tides and the Wadden Sea’s unique ecosystem. There are different routes, from short walks to multi-day hikes. Safety is key: the guide ensures you never get too far from the shore and keeps an eye on the tides.
