Walk the Wadden Sea Trail from Den Helder to Terschelling
Sleep in handpicked hotels along the North Sea
Discover three unique Dutch islands in four days
Salt on your lips, seabirds overhead, and that eerie silence only the Wadden can offer. That’s the Wadden Trek vibe. This is a 4-day, 3-stage journey through the Netherlands’ most UNESCO-worthy wilderness. You’ll start in Den Helder, hop to Texel for your first ferry crossing, and end your trek in Terschelling, tucked into the dunes with the sea never far away.
This trek is only available from May to September, when the Wadden is at its most beautiful and the days are long enough to enjoy every step of the journey.
This trek is for hikers who enjoy long distances without mountain climbs. Expect 15–20 flat kilometers a day with the sea always nearby. All accommodations are within easy reach of ferry terminals and water taxi points, so your logistics stay smooth while the trail stays wild.
