Take the opportunity to board a traditional tall ship for an adventure that takes you right into the heart of the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Within 24 hours, you will experience how sailing, falling dry and mudflat hiking merge together in a unique way. A real nature experience that you won’t soon forget.

The Wadden Sea – characterized by the constant rhythm of high and low tide – offers the perfect conditions for a special kind of sailing trip.

You will board in Harlingen at midday and receive a warm welcome from the crew. After a brief introduction to life on board, it’s time to cast off! The sails are set and the tall ship sets course for the open mudflats.

After a relaxing sailing trip, the ship drops anchor – and the water slowly recedes. While you are still standing on deck, the ship begins to gently lie on its side and fall “dry”. A huge sandbank stretches out in front of you – perfect for a mudflat hike, directly from the ship.

When the sun goes down, the water returns. You enjoy the special silence of the night, the gentle lapping around the ship – and sleep deeply and relaxed in your bunk.

The next morning you set sail again with the tide: together you set sail and return to Harlingen – with fresh wind in your hair, sand on your shoes and unforgettable memories.
