Join the Wadden AssociationBeing active on the Wadden Sea naturally begins with cycling and hiking. There are miles and miles of hiking and biking trails through the dunes and forests. And then there is the endless beach. For mountain bikers and trail runners, there are trails through rougher terrain with sand, climbs and sharp turns.
Perhaps you come to the Wadden specifically for water sports. Active on the Wadden then means kite surfing, windsurfing, wave surfing, sport fishing or supping. You can also beach-sail with a blokart, such a three-wheeled baby carriage. You probably have no idea how fast you can go with that. For golf lovers, there are fantastic golf courses in the dunes.
If you're looking for a real challenge, a tandem jump might be an option. At an altitude of about 3 kilometers, you jump out of the plane together with your tandem master. You fall down at a speed of 200 km, until the parachute opens. Then you float down like a feather. They say a skydive is one of the most beautiful experiences of your life.
On the Wadden Islands, of course, you can also enjoy horseback riding. Maybe you dream of galloping across the beach on an Icelandic horse. That too is possible on the Wadden Islands. Fluttering hair, the sound of horses' hooves, the surf, the wind and nothing else.
