Covered wagon tours on Terschelling: an experience for all ages

Puur Terschelling offers covered wagon tours across the entire island, from the west all the way to the European nature reserve of the Boschplaat and the Drenkelingenhuisje. Along the way, you’ll encounter many surprises: cranberries in dune valleys, wild orchids, or bunkers hidden in the dunes. Our local coachmen are happy to share stories about the surroundings, nature, culture, and traditions of Terschelling. Of course, our tours also take you along the beach—this beautiful stretch of untouched land feels entirely your own. Sit back, forget the time, and enjoy.

A covered wagon tour is suitable for all ages, from small to large groups.

What you would like to know

Is the covered wagon tour suitable for people with reduced mobility?

All wagons have easy access at the rear. Inside the covered wagon, there is plenty of legroom. Two access ramps allow wheelchairs of various sizes to enter our large wagons. This makes the tours suitable for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users (please indicate this in advance).

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, your dog is welcome to join and enjoy this Puur experience. Please be considerate of other passengers: your dog must be on a leash and well under control.

Can I book a private covered wagon tour?

Yes, that is possible. You can check availability online or send us an email with your preferred date, the number of people, and your wishes.

Is it possible to leave a wheelchair, walker, or stroller/buggy at Puur?

Yes, these can be stored in a covered area.

Do I need to reserve a seat for a baby?

If the adult and baby are one by using a carrier, this is not necessary. However, if the baby sits independently or on your lap, a child ticket must be reserved.

Can a stroller/buggy/Maxi-Cosi be taken on the covered wagon?

Yes, that is possible. You can book one child ticket, which includes space for the child transport item of your choice.

Does the covered wagon tour always go ahead?

The covered wagon has a canopy with large windows, providing both shade and protection from wind and rain. This ensures you are well sheltered in both sunny and less favourable weather conditions. In winter, you will sit on warm, soft sheepskins. We operate all year round, as Terschelling offers a truly authentic experience in every season.

Covered wagon tours

A covered wagon tour brings you closer to nature. Thanks to the gentle pace of the horses, you have all the time to take it in. Wind brushing your face, the salty scent of the sea, or the sweet fragrance of honeysuckle in the dunes—we can never get enough of it. Along the way, there is plenty to see, as each route is highly varied. Beach, dunes, forests, cranberry fields, and the Boschplaat blend seamlessly into one another. As true islanders, we know the special places—and the stories that come with them. We are happy to share them, often with a touch of humor.

Truly personal

Would you like a private covered wagon tour with your family, relatives, friends, or colleagues? We are happy to arrange a truly personal tour across the island. Everything is possible—from a 1.5-hour ride to a full-day experience. You can choose from routes through the dunes, cranberry fields, forests, or along the beach, to the Drenkelingenhuisje or the Boschplaat. If desired, we can include a stop at unique locations in the island’s natural surroundings, with a picnic basket or catering. We would be happy to provide you with a tailored quote. Let us know your preferred date, the number of people, and your wishes, and we will create an unforgettable experience!
