About this guide

This is an independent planning guide to the Dutch Wadden Islands, built around two questions most itineraries skip: what is the exposed mudflat actually safe to do, and how do Texel and Terschelling really compare.

What this site is

A free, independently written trip-planning resource covering Texel, Terschelling, wadlopen mudflat walking, and the practical logistics of getting to and around both islands. It aims to give a straight, honestly hedged answer where possible, and an honest “check the current schedule yourself” where a detail genuinely changes from season to season.

What you will find here

• Island guides to Texel, the easy first island with its long beaches and dunes, and Terschelling, the quieter island further out.
• Wadlopen safety: how walking on the tidal flats works, why a certified guide matters and what makes a crossing safe or unsafe.
• The best time to visit, season by season, including wildlife and crowds.
• Planning your visit: ferries, logistics and what to book ahead.

How we write it

We write from public information and aim to state clearly where something is an estimate, depends on the tide or the season, or differs between sources. We prefer saying “it depends” and explaining why to giving a confident answer that may be wrong. Ferry times, guided-crossing schedules and festival dates change, so always confirm them with the relevant operator before you travel.

Who runs the site

The guide is published by ПП ФІРМА "ДНІПРО - СТАР", a business registered in Ukraine. Owner and contact person: НЕСТРОЙНА ТЕТЯНА.

What this site is not

We are not affiliated with TESO, Rederij Doeksen, Ecomare, any wadloop guide organisation, the Oerol festival, or the municipalities of Texel or Terschelling. We do not sell tickets, tours or accommodation and we do not take payments. Photographs on the site are AI-generated illustrations, not pictures of a specific real event. When we link to an operator, it is because the information is useful, and you should book directly with them.
