Summer Holiday

Summer is a delightful and sunny period on Terschelling. Terschelling is a dream destination for many island guests. The rich island nature offers so much to enjoy during your summer holiday on Terschelling. The wide North Sea beach, the dune area, the forest and naturally the UNESCO Waddenzee World Heritage site. European nature reserve de Boschplaat where we Puur Terschelling are located right next to. We're delighted to take you along on our journeys, whilst we share stories about the surroundings, our traditions and island culture.

Horse and cart tours, outdoor rides on Friesian and Shire horses, mudflat walking, donkey walks, polder golf and carriage driving.

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

Swimming with Friesian horses is a special and unforgettable experience, and a perfect way to completely unwind. You ride along on the horses in a relaxed, natural way of riding, where contact with the animal and the surroundings is central.

A 2.5-hour Boschplaat Beach covered wagon tour. Enjoy a covered wagon ride through forest, dunes, past cranberry fields, along the beach and the Boschplaat.

Now that's truly pure food from nature... On this North Sea trip, we fish for prawns using a trawl net. At the same time, we discover the rich marine life of the North Sea: crabs, flatfish, jellyfish, sand eels, hermit crabs and starfish.

Experience an impressive evening with your own group. We arrange a private covered wagon excursion to the Dark Sky Park de Boschplaat, accompanied by a Puur astronomer. You'll ride through the darkness, far away from all the hustle and bustle, to one of the darkest spots in the Netherlands.

We'd love to take you out onto the Wadden Sea for 'the feeling I mean'. Together you'll create a lovely memory, walking across the seabed of the Wadden Sea. Back home at the Puur grounds, we'll round off with a delicious oyster tasting for enthusiasts and those who want to discover the taste of this 'sea jewel'.

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

Always wanted to take the reins into your own hands? At Puur Terschelling you can. Under guidance, you'll drive the carriage yourself and experience the island in a unique way: peacefully, naturally and close to the horses.
