About this school trip

Ecomare in De Koog on Texel brings the Wadden Sea and the North Sea to life. Your pupils can see seals up close, look into the large open sea aquariums and learn more about life in and around the sea in the nature museum. Exhibitions such as Wonderlijk Wad and the Walviszaal (whale hall) complete the story.

There are presentations throughout the day, such as the seal presentation and the feeding session at the sea aquarium. Ecomare also takes in seals, harbour porpoises and birds in distress, which is a great starting point for talking about nature conservation with your class. Ecomare has its own programme for schools, suitable for ages 6–12 and lower secondary.

We are happy to provide the transport to Ecomare for you and your pupils. A trip to Texel, including the ferry crossing, needs careful planning; our experienced driver times the journey around the ferry service, so you arrive on the island safely and comfortably by coach.
