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!

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.
The island Texel, the Netherlands
Texel (often pronounced “Tessel” in Dutch) is an island that is part of the Frisian Islands in the Netherlands. In fact it is the largest and most populated of the Frisian island in the Wadden Sea and it is also the westernmost of this archipelago. Texel lies nearby Terschelling where NOVASOL also has charming holiday homes for you to spend your holiday in. The island’s name, Texel, is Frisian but through time the Dutch language has changed and all words with x-sounds have been replaced with s-sounds. Texel has seven villages which are ‘De Cocksdorp’, ‘De Koog’, ‘De Waal’, ‘Den Burg’, ‘Den Hoorn’, ‘Oosterend’ and ‘Oudeschild’. There are also many other smaller townships. Texel is a municipality as well as an island under which these villages and townships reside. There is a sandbar between Texel and the Dutch mainland which covers an area of 5 kilometers. It is fairly untouched by man but many seals and seabirds stay here. However, the sandbar is also used by the Dutch navy and air force as a training ground which is very exciting. Traveling around on Texel is usually done by bicycle, bus or car. The island has an extensive bicycle network so it is perfect for afternoon bike rides. Transport to and from Texel is usually by ferry although there also is an airport called ‘Texel International Airport’. There are many attractions on Texel such as cycling, hiking, swimming and horse riding. There are also many nice restaurants and cafes. The people of the Frisian Islands are very sweet and generally speak English quite well. Most of the menus on restaurants on cafes, however, are in Dutch. You can either ask the waiter for what he recommends or simply pick a dish at random and be surprised with an unknown Dutch specialty. There are tourism information centers which are very helpful if you want to go on tours and trips to visit some of the many attractions. Stay with NOVASOL in a charming holiday home on Texel, maybe Terschelling or both, and be astonished by this lovely part of the Netherlands. Novasol website:
