Overview
On this half day small group tour you will explore the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site Waddensea. We will pick you up by minivan right in the center of Amsterdam in the morning and drive you through the beautiful Dutch country side: land claimed from the sea, past farms, villages and windmills. Upon arrival, we will board our ship that takes us onto the Waddensea. Because of its unique coastal wetlands and tidal system, it is a refuge for a huge number of animals, including marine mammals such as the harbor seals, gray seals and harbor porpoises. Then we will explore the Waddensea by boat at low tide, scouting for gray seals, harbor seals and migrating birds. On the way to the boat or back, we will take a short detour to the authentic and picturesque 17th century village of Twisk
