Outdoor activities on Terschelling

Almost everybody who comes to Terschelling comes to enjoy the outdoor life! Terschelling’s nature – the beach, the dunes, the Mudflats (Wad), woods and polder – has its charms in every season.

Most activities are possible throughout the year. Such as:

• walking on the beach, through the dunes or in the woods
• cycling on the bicycle paths that criss-cross Terschelling
• seeing Terschelling from the back of a horse or with the horse and carriage
• sea fishing or seal trips

There are also typical Terschelling activities, such as:

• a trip through de Boschplaat nature reserve with a forester. This large nature reserve located on the east side of the island, is an exceptional area, rich in birds, rifts and marshes
• many outdoor activities via MooiWeer: Beach sailing, powerkiting, archery, surf kayaking, mudflat canoeing (to the seals), paintball in the forest & GPS (-bicycle tours)

You can register for most of the arranged activities. This is especially recommended when it is in season because there could be limited places. However, it is also advisable even when not in season, as some activities only take place when there are sufficient numbers.
