Taking a group to Terschelling or Vlieland
For groups from Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands, a day or a residential week on Terschelling or Vlieland often starts with a coach to Harlingen. Ferries to both islands leave from the port there. Here is how to go about it.
By coach to the ferry
We take your group to the ferry port in Harlingen and pick you up again on your return. Let us know the departure and arrival times of the ferry, and we will plan the journey so that you are at the ferry on time.
Book the crossing separately
You book the crossing itself with the ferry company. Do this in good time, especially for large groups and in summer, and pass the booked times on to us.
Getting around on the island
Visitors are not allowed to bring cars onto Vlieland, and on Terschelling too, groups usually get around by bicycle or by transport on the island itself. Arrange this in advance if needed.
Luggage for a residential week
If the group is staying for several days, label all luggage with a name and phone number. That way nothing gets lost when it is transferred from the coach to the ferry.
