Go seal watching on Texel, see the seals up close with our exclusive seal tour on Texel

With our exclusive seal tour featuring 100% seal sighting guarantee, you'll go seal watching up close on the mudflats of Texel. You see the seals in their natural environment without disturbing them—it's just like a seal safari. With our boat "De Vrijheid," you experience a personal and adventurous cruise from the harbor of Oudeschild on Texel, along the coast of Texel, toward the famous Razende Bol (also known as Noorderhaaks): the ultimate spot to spot large groups of seals. Our boat accommodates a maximum of 12 people, so you're always going on an excursion in a cozy group.

During the 1.5-hour boat trip, the experienced captain tells you everything about the life of the seals, the Wadden Sea, and the special birds you see along the way. You feel the fresh sea breeze, enjoy beautiful views of the Wadden Sea where you can see the TESO ferry, Den Helder, and sandbanks. As we get closer to the seals, you can take guaranteed unique photos. We approach closely without disturbing the seals; sometimes a curious seal comes to check out the boat up close. This makes our exclusive seal tour an unforgettable experience during your vacation on Texel!

About the Seals You Can See

Two remarkable seal species live in the Wadden Sea: the common seal and the grey seal. These animals often rest and sunbathe in large groups on the sandbank Razende Bol, a protected nature reserve where they can stay undisturbed. The grey seal uses this spot as a birthing area in winter, while the common seal gives birth to her pups in summer. Thanks to our quiet boat trip with small groups, you can observe these seals up close without disturbing them.

The Razende Bol is one of the best places to see seals on Texel, along with the rich Wadden Sea area where they live. During the tour, you learn more about these special marine mammals and their habitat, so you can fully enjoy seal spotting on Texel.
