Wadden Sea Expedition
We meet at the Wadden Sea Center, where we pack our gear bags. The expedition leader shows the way to the Wadden Sea, where we go hunting for the strange animals in the mud and water of the Wadden Sea. We bring some of the catch to the Wadden Sea Center and examine the animals very closely in a stereo.

Wadden Sea tour
With nets and grips, we go exploring in the shallow water and on the dry seabed. Here we find various mussels, worms, crabs, shrimp and small fish. We taste plants and get little stories about life in the Wadden Sea - Denmark's largest National Park. The trip can take place at Mandø Ebbevej near the Wadden Sea Center or on the waders at Mandø.

Hiking and biking
Experience the wildlife and vast expanses on a hike across the ocean floor, or watch birds and hear cultural-historical tales on a bike ride in the marsh. See our offer of various cycling and hiking trips on the mainland and on Mandø.

Wadden Sea competition
Should the birthday or company outing be a little different this year? Then bring a nature guide on the Wadden Sea race. Equipped with grips, shrimp hooves, team spirit and a good portion of competitive mentality, participants must compete in categories such as sandworm digging, shrimp hunting, mussel races and much more. The nature guide will act as an initiator, judge and not least as a communicator about the nature of the Wadden Sea, which forms the background for the Wadden Sea race.

Mandø's mudflats
If you are a larger group that wants to try an interesting fishing method, then we can offer you to pull seine. Vha. cooperation and raw muscle power, we pull the big trawl through a tidal channel at Mandø. After a few hundred meters, it's time to see the day's catch - there are good chances for lots of shrimp, and different species of flatfish and crabs.

Snap tour
We take a walk along the coast on the beach meadow and in the plantation behind the dikes. Here we look for seasonal herbs and berries for use in spice schnapps. The nature guide also talks about the plants' use in cooking and as medicinal plants in ancient times. At the same time, we experience the Wadden Sea and get stories about the small animals and birds that we meet on our way. The trip is 3-4 km and will be spiced up with a little taste of the schnapps brewed on the herbs of the Wadden Sea.
