About this experience

Hiking Tours in De Koog are guided walks that start from the village centre on Texel, the largest Dutch Wadden Island. These tours traverse dunes, beaches, and forest paths within the neighbouring National Park, led by local rangers. Each route is timed to the tide and season, offering direct access to the island's bird colonies and seal haul-outs.

What to expect

Tours run 2.5 to 4 hours, covering 6 to 10 kilometres at a steady pace with frequent stops for wildlife observation.
Each walk includes a printed route map, a pair of binoculars for shared use, and a short safety briefing on dune terrain and tidal zones.
You will see red deer, spoonbills, and grey seals from designated viewing points, with rangers pointing out nesting sites and feeding grounds.
Routes vary daily: morning walks follow the high-water line, while afternoon walks climb the dune ridges for panoramic views over the Wadden Sea.
Suitable for adults and children over 8 years; sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing are required, as paths include soft sand and boardwalks.
