Head out onto the water, keep a sharp eye out… and there’s a good chance you’ll spot them: seals lazing in the sun on a sandbank.
A boat trip around the island lets you discover the Wadden Sea from a different angle. A gentle cruise, fresh sea air, and all the while keeping an eye out for those curious little heads poking above the water. Sometimes they lie in groups of dozens, sometimes you’ll spot just one bobbing about. Seal spotting is one of those activities where you don’t really have to do anything, except look and enjoy.
The moment when someone suddenly shouts, “There! Can you see it?”
I like Terschelling works with experienced skippers who know exactly where to look. In fact, they’ve even been named the 2026 Travellers’ Choice winner on Tripadvisor. That means that, according to visitors themselves, they’re among the best activities on Terschelling. You can count on that.
Our advice
Choose a quiet morning or the end of the day. The light is at its best then, and you’re more likely to spot the seals lying on the sandbanks.
