Sea Explorer
We will meet at The Wadden Sea Centre, where we will pack our bags with equipment for exploring. The expedition leader will lead you to the Wadden Sea, where we will go hunting for the strange animals in the mudflats and water of the Wadden Sea. We will bring back some of our catch to The Wadden Sea Centre, where we will examine the animals really close up in a stereoscope.
Wadden Sea Tour
With nets and forks we discover what the dry mudflats and the low water contains. Here we will find different kinds of mussels, worms, crabs, shrimps and small fishes. We will taste plants and hear little stories about the life in the Wadden Sea - the largest National Park in Denmark. This tour can either take place at Mandø Ebbevej near The Wadden Sea Centre or on the mudflats on the island Mandø.
Hikes and bicycling tour
Experience the fauna and the great open spaces on a hike across the seabed, or watch birds and listen to historical stories on a bike trip in the marsh lands. See our selection of different hikes and bicycling tours on the mainland and on Mandø.
The Wadden Sea Challenge
Do you wish your birthday or the company picknick to be a bit different this year? Then join on of our nature guides in our contest The Wadden Sea Challenge. Equipped with nets, forks, team spirits, as well as a good portion of competitive spirit, the participants compete in teams in categories as ragworm-digging, shrimp-catching, race the mussles and a lot more. The nature guide initiates the contest, functions as judge and let your learn more about the nature of the Wadden Sea, which functions as a background for The Wadden Sea Challenge.
Trawling
If you are part of a larger group, which wishes to try an interesting method of fishing, we are able to offer you to drag a trawl. Through teamwork and raw strength we will drag the big trawling net through a tidal inlet on Mandø. After some hundred meters it is time to see the catch of the day - there is good chances for lots of shrimps and different kinds of species of flat fish and crabs.
Schnapps-tour
We will take a tour along salt marshes of the coast and in the plantation behind the dikes. Here we will search for the herbs and berries of the season to be used in spiced schnapps. The nature guide tells about the use of the plants in cooking and as medical remedies in the old times. At the same time we will experience the Wadden Sea and hear stories about the animals and birds we meet on our way. The trip is 3-4 km and will be spruced up with tasting schnapps brewed on the herbs of the Wadden Sea.
