Photos, maps and extra tips on my blog:
Texel is a popular tourist destination in the Netherlands, sadly not many people outside of the Netherlands are familiar or have even heard of this unique island that is why I felt it was time to expose Texel to the rest of the world with this uniquely crafted YouTube video and Texel travel guide loaded with tips and my personal advise.
Upon arrival on Texel treat yourself to the most popular local beer on the island; Skuumkoppe. A delicious 6% wheat beer made with fresh filtered dune water, also opt-in for a guided tour through the beer brewery and learn about the local Texel brewing processes.
If you are a big nature buff, definitely checkout the gorgeous De Slufter national park which is part of the Wadden Sea, a massive UNESCO world heritage site and the largest tidel area in the world. Make sure to taste a fresh sea lavender leave for its sea salt content.
Texel is primarily known for skydiving and oyster harvesting, these activities are absolutely worth in participating, especially the Texel Skydive, go watch my dedicated YouTube video and complete article on the skydiving experience on Texel. Oyster harvesting must have been my second favorite activity on the island, never in my life have I ever tasted such incredible oysters, the oysters from the Wadden Sea were massive and extremely creamy due to their size.
One important note on oyster harvesting, bring tall rain boats, the blubber will completely ruin your shoes. After those salty oysters, you may be in the mood for something sweet, if that is the case, drop by Bakery Timmer and try a local Tessels Kiekje and Hongerpunt which are Dutch cakes.
In the evening have dinner in village De Koog, the party town of Texel for its bars and night clubs. Definitely try the lamb stew at restaurant Eigeweis! If you visit Texel during the summer, you can also watch the fireworks show and ride fairs during the summer funfair.
Other great places are De Worsteltent restaurant for a quality dinner experience and ice cream farm Labora at which you should try the local flavours; Boerenjongens and Kwark. What makes Labora unique is the cows producing the milk literally on-site, go watch the automatic milk-robot at work.
Additionally, go back in time to the Dutch Golden Age at museum Kaap Skil to learn everything about the many Dutch merchant vessels laying anchorage at Oudeschild, Texel waiting for the right winds to set sail to the rest of the world. Texel used to be world's largest anchorage spot. Top it off at cheese cafe Wezenspyk and try the local stinging nettle and beer cheeses, you may be pleasantly surprised, bring those cheeses for the road trip back.
Basically, Texel is a small island consisting of 7 villages on the northern tip of the Netherlands. Texel receives 30% more sun compared to any other part of the Netherlands. In conclusion, consider Texel for a day trip or stay the night at the funky booby trap hotel De Kievit for a few laughs. If you like natural beauty, beaches, oysters, getting a bit dirty and local Dutch culture than Texel is for you!

The beautiful Wadden island of Texel - Holland Holiday
Texel, beautiful island in the Wadden Sea.
In the North of Holland there are 5 inhabitant wadden islands.
They border the North Sea and the Wadden Sea.
The Wadden Sea became UNESCO World Heritage.
About twice a day the tide transforms the landscape from land into sea, which developed a unique nature reserve.
This video shows you the largest island: Texel.
Take the ferry in Den Helder. They sail frequently.
The island is approximately 20 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide and it offers a multitude of attractions.
We visit the picturesque village of Den Hoorn, beach village De Koog and shopping place Den Burg.
Be surprised by the little wadden harbour of De Cocksdorp. At low tide it runs completely dry. Eat fish in the cosy harbour of Oudeschild with its many terraces and drink the local beer ‘Skuumkoppe’ wich means white caps.
‘Ecomare’, shows you a lot about the Texel nature and history.
And they care for stranded sea animals.
Watch an other top attraction: Texel airport.
You can spend a whole day there by watching small airplanes and parachutists while having a drink, a lunch or a diner on a comfortable terrace.
The video shows you how to make a free fall jump without training.
A life experience!
Like flying but dont want to jump out of the airplane?
Book a scenic flight.

Netherlands Part 2 | Texel
Welcome to one of the best days of 2018! My current job allows me to travel to all sorts of wonderful places, but I get to also go off the beaten path and discover some of the behind the scenes things a country has to offer. Amsterdam is an incredible city with a rich and glorious history, but don't discount the rest of the Netherlands.
The northern coast of the country is home to the Dutch Wadden Islands. The largest of these islands is Texel, and it is easily accessible from Amsterdam. Those looking for adventure should definitely go check out all the things this island has to offer. I went in the beginning of winter so I was FREEZING by the end of the day, but my tip is to rent the scooter from Rijwielverhuur Veerhaven Texel near the ferry port. Then head up to Den Burg, the largest city on the island, and browse the shops. Afterward, stop by Ecomare and visit the seals and porpoises, then explore the Dunes. You can also take your scooter along the bike trail that goes from Den Koog to the lighthouse at the northern tip of the island.
