Texel is full of grass- and heather-covered dunes and fields of brightly-blooming tulips, daffodils, and lavender. An island full of white sheep, seals, horses grazing in the mist and countless flocks of birds. Tiny villages with windmills, ice cream carts, and horse-drawn wagons, just like in a children's fairy tale. At the harbor, there is a boardwalk, fishing nets, old rowboats, shabby boats of hard-working fishermen and a bright red lighthouse. There, you can hear the heavy northern sea, rolling gently over the faint white sand, with its muffled but soothing rumble. It’s a gorgeous place with no horizons, where the sky and sea fade into one another. There is no such thing as time here.
Given that each farmer has a different schedule, this program is conditional. It depends on the season, the day of the week, holidays, the weather and above all else, your personal interests and the amount of time you have on the island.

We'll also visit a cheese factory or smokehouse, a windmill, a small brewery or a winery - yes, even in the middle of the Northern Sea, they still grow grapes and make delicious wine, and the beer on the island is simply excellent! We'll visit a llama farm and take plenty of selfies with sheep! Depending on the day of the week, we might see herding dogs at work, or cheese, wine or beer being produced. And, of course, we will be tasting everything!
