Come sail with us!

Seal tour

There are lots of seals in the Westerschelde! If you look closely, you can see them swimming or lying on the sandbanks at low tide. If you want to see them up close, join us on a Scheldt safari!

With our sturdy and fast RIB, we sail towards the sandbanks that are exposed at low tide. Here you can see dozens of seals. Of course, we will not go onto the sandbanks and will remain at a safe distance, from where we can still see them clearly!

Fun experience

Going on the Scheldesafari is a fun experience and adventure!
During the trip you will not only enjoy the many seals that can be seen, but also the free wide view over the Westerschelde, the beautiful skies above your head, the wind in your hair and the large impressive ships that pass nearby.

Starting point
We start the trip and search for the seal in the harbor of Hoedekenskerke, from where we sail into the Westerschelde. After about 45 minutes you will be back in the harbor.
There is ample free parking for bikes and car.
