We'd love to take you onto the Wad for 'the feeling I mean'. What an experience: walking, viewing, feeling and tasting the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site. In this pristine nature reserve, ebb and flow have free reign. Here you'll experience the natural elements of the Wad in an educational (and especially fun) way. Each season has its own charm and every tour has its own character, from crab watching for the children to oyster tasting for enthusiasts. We walk across the seabed of the Wadden Sea via salt marshes towards the second duck decoy on the Boschplaat. A unique experience!
