Experience Seals in the Wadden Sea with the Wadden Sea Centre

Do you dream of seeing Danish seals in their natural habitat? The Wadden Sea Centre invites you on unique seal tours in the Wadden Sea National Park, where you can encounter some of the most fascinating seal species living in Denmark. Whether you choose a seal safari on Mandø by tractor bus or your own car, you’re in for a unique experience filled with nature, fresh air, and fascinating insights about seals in Denmark.

What to expect on a Seal Safari?

Our seal safaris start from the Wadden Sea Centre and take you to the beautiful island Mandø. The trip depends on the specific seal tour you choose. On a Mandø seal safari, we either take a tractor bus from the centre or drive in private cars to the starting point. From there, a walk along the dike and across the mudflats awaits, offering spectacular views and an introduction to the area’s unique wildlife.

The total walk to the seal sandbank is around 5 kilometers and takes approximately 3 hours. Along the way, one of our experienced guides will enrich the trip with stories about seals in the Wadden Sea, seal species around the world, and why the 300-meter-wide tidal channel cannot be crossed. Feel free to bring your own binoculars, but we also provide telescopes so you can see the seals clearly.

Why choose the Wadden Sea Centre's seal tours?

We offer a combination of exciting experiences and expert knowledge from our trained nature guides, making every seal tour truly unique.
If you want to add something extra to your day, you can combine a seal tour with a visit to our exhibition or relax in our café and shop, where you can enjoy a meal and pick up a souvenir.
