Step on board for a special school trip on the Wadden. A sailing trip with one or more ships is a perfect way to go out with a group of young people. During the day there is sailing and it is possible to moor on a different island every day. Staying in the port for a day to undertake activities ashore is of course also possible.
Zeilendeschepen.nl offers complete sailing trips for schools, including carefully selected activities on the islands.
On Monday morning everyone comes on board in Harlingen and after a sailing instruction from the ship's crew the mooring lines are thrown loose. The ship sets sail to set sail for an island. The students will hoist the sails together with the sailor. Along the way there is plenty to see and do, set sails, steer and enjoy the beautiful nature reserve. At the end of the afternoon the ship arrives in the harbor.
Once in the harbor you can walk to the beach or forest and if there is still enough time you can also rent bicycles or organize another activity. But the Wadden Islands are special enough in themselves and it is not necessarily necessary to organize an extra activity on a sailing day. This makes it easy to keep the school trip low-budget.
If you would like to do something extra with the students, you can, for example, spend a day on Terschelling with the ship and rent bicycles. You can cycle beautifully on Terschelling to the Boschplaat or the North Sea beach where the students can swim well. On Texel you can visit Ecomare and on Vlieland take a trip to the Vliehors.
For example, every island has something special that you can do with the students if there is enough time and budget for it.
With a flat-bottomed ship it is possible to fall dry as soon as the tide gets low. This should not be missing during the school trip, if the weather and tide allow, falling dry is a must during the sailing trip.
The skipper anchors the ship above a beautiful sandbank and then you can enjoy the view while the tide is ebbing and the water slowly sinks. After a few hours, with a bit of luck, the ship will be completely dry and you can step off the ship onto the sandbar. You can then walk on the mudflats with the students, look for shells and swim in the last water on the sandbar. This is a very special experience that the students will not soon forget!
The combination of the special waterway and the Wadden Islands make the Wadden area the perfect waterway for a school trip. And sailingships.nl has the largest selection of sailing ships, from small to large. So we can offer suitable ships for every group. School groups can also be divided over several ships, you can then choose to meet in the same port every evening, or only on the last evening.

Food allergies and dietary requirements
If you have dietary requirements or allergies, it is best to discuss this before booking. Often it is not a problem, but sometimes some cooperation is expected from the guests if special products have to be purchased, which will then have to be taken by the guests themselves, for example.
