Pearls of The Netherlands . 8 days . ship name Anna Antal (Standardplus) . tour code WAD
Holland Bike & Barge Island Hopping-2010





The Dutch Shallows, the largest nature reserve in Holland. The ever changing domain of land, sea, fishermen, seals and birds. What could be more enjoyable than sailing over the Wadden Sea and cycling on the West Frisian islands? Come and find out yourself.
 
Highlights include 
The Dutch Shallows 
Wadden Sea and islands 
Beaches and dunes

Our boat will bring you to two of the most beautiful West Frisian islands, Texel and Terschelling, as well as the former island Wieringen. Breathe in the fresh air on the windswept beaches, cycle through forest and dunes, visit the old villages and harbours, and enjoy the exceptional beauty of this part of The Netherlands. The interaction of the light on the sea, the land and the air makes a tour through this part of The Netherlands an unforgettable experience. Every island has its own history, atmosphere and culinary challenges. You do one or two cycling trips on each island. Short and long bike trips are always possible, but of course you can also decide to visit the beach or go for a walk.
The guide rides along with you every day, choosing the long or the short route depending on the wishes of the group. However, you can fill in the day yourself using the route descriptions.

(In certain weather conditions alternative routes are offered)
