Christmas Holiday

Are you going to Terschelling this Christmas holiday? Christmas on the Wadden Sea is enchanting. Nature is beautiful, it's lovely and quiet, and you often have the beaches all to yourself. During this winter period, there's plenty to do during the Christmas days or around New Year's on Terschelling. Put on your winter coat, slip on your gloves and let the fresh sea air give you new energy. We go the extra mile with our atmospheric Puur activities for your family or friends.

Riding Friesian and Shire horses along countless beautiful riding routes, compiled with Staatsbosbeheer. They go through forests, dunes, past cranberry fields and over the beach, with a duration of 2 hours.

During the winter months from 1st October to 1st April, enjoy a lovely beach drive to the Drenkelingenhuisje or…

Experience an impressive evening with your own party. We provide a private 4x4 Land Rover expedition to the Drenkelingenhuisje on the Boschplaat, guided by a Puur astronomer. You'll drive through the darkness, across the beach away from all the crowds, to the darkest spot in the Netherlands.

In our heated covered wagon, on soft sheepskin, through the wintry island nature. We take a 2-hour covered wagon tour through forest, dunes, cranberry fields and along the beach. A lovely way to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. After the covered wagon tour, there's coffee/tea/hot chocolate and apple fritters.

Walking with our gentle donkeys! They'll carry your picnic basket or your child up to 8 years old. Together on a journey through Terschelling's nature.

Always fancied taking the reins yourself? At Puur Terschelling you can do just that. Under expert guidance, you'll drive the carriage yourself and experience the island in a truly unique way: peacefully, naturally and close to the horses.

Daily sleigh rides through the winter landscape when there's snow, sitting on a sheepskin.
