Pedestrians can also buy a ticket in advance via the internet or on the spot. Did you know that you only pay € 2.50 if you are on foot? That makes it even more fun to go to Texel!

Taking the bike

You can also bring your (electric) bicycle to Texel. There is a separate bicycle deck on board where the bicycles are stored during the crossing.
