From the Broadway theatre festival to boat trips and beach yoga: here are the best tips for the Whitsun weekend on Texel.

Broadway in Den Hoorn

In Den Hoorn, living rooms, garages and barns are transformed into mini-theatres during Broadway. At around 30 venues, you can see some 50 acts, featuring both well-known and lesser-known names from cabaret, variety and music.

Speciality Beer in Den Burg

The Speciality Beer Festival in Den Burg is all about tasting speciality beers in the park in the centre of Den Burg. You’ll find a huge variety of beers in one place, in a lively festival atmosphere with live music and food trucks!

Yoga by the sea

Yoga on Texel’s beach – wonderfully relaxing! At Paal 19, you can join in with Vinyasa Yoga or Yin Yoga, with the sea as a backdrop. The classes are open to all ages, even if you’re a beginner. Afterwards, you can stay for a coffee or tea with a view.

Boat trips across the Wadden Sea

From the harbour in Oudeschild, you can head in various directions. With the TX44 Wadden Cruise, for example, you can take a tour with commentary from the captain about the Wadden Sea region, seals and the harbour of Den Helder. Or opt for a trip with De Vrijheid and go seal spotting at the Razende Bol. We also have an overview of all boat trips.

Get creative at Atelier Et Wad

Fancy getting creative? Then the abstract workshops at Atelier Et Wad offer a lovely change of pace. You’ll get to experiment with colour, shape and materials yourself, and no prior experience is needed.

Cycle a scenic route

Fancy exploring the island? Then hire a bike and follow one of our cycle routes. Texel has over 140 kilometres of cycle paths, and you can choose a set route, such as the ‘Rondje Texel’, or put together your own trip using the cycle junction network. Don’t forget to book your hire bike in advance.
