DISCOVER THE ACTIVITIES

Have you always wanted to island hop between the Dutch Wadden Islands? Then visit Vlieland during your stay on Texel! In high season, you can take the ferry 'De Vriendschap' as a foot passenger for a one-way or day trip from Texel to Vlieland and/or vice versa.

Behind our hotel, in the nature of Texel Dunes National Park, lies the Sommeltjespad: a discovery trail for young children in the woods. Along the 1.5-kilometre trail, children can look for Sommeltjes. But look around and discover much more than just stone figures!

Would you like to enjoy cycling during your holiday on Texel? Then hire a bicycle at Van der Valk Hotel Texel-De Koog. Or bring your own bike. The island has a total of 140 kilometres of cycle paths. Cycling on Texel is therefore the ultimate way to not miss a thing of the beautiful island!

Is it your dream to jump out of a plane one day? Would you like to tick a unique and unforgettable experience off your bucket list? At 8 kilometres from the hotel, near Texel Airport, you will find Paracentrum Texel.

We were often told by guests that the Food Forest Texel is a super fun place to visit. It made us so curious that we went to take a look ourselves. We can indeed confirm: the Food Forest Texel is really worth a visit!

Five kilometres from the hotel is Den Burg; the largest village on Texel! Almost half of Texel's inhabitants live in this village. The centre is characteristic and the authentic facades are definitely worth a photo. The village has all modern conveniences.
