What you can expect

  • Discover the fascinating wildlife of the North Sea on a 90-minute seal-watching cruise departing from Hörnum on Sylt. Step aboard the MS Adler VI and explore the unique natural beauty of the Wadden Sea, with selected departures available in autumn and winter, too.

    Leaving Hörnum harbor behind, enjoy the fresh sea air and beautiful coastal scenery as the ship heads towards the resting areas of seals. One of the highlights of the journey is the Jungnamensand sandbank, west of Amrum, an important resting place for grey seals.

    With a little luck, you may observe these fascinating animals in their natural habitat. As seals are wild animals, sightings depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed.

    Another highlight is the onboard marine wildlife catch demonstration. A small net is lowered into the water to reveal some of the creatures living beneath the surface. Staff from Schutzstation Wattenmeer explain interesting facts about the marine animals and their habitat before the creatures are carefully returned to the sea.

    Whether you're visiting Sylt with family or simply love nature, this cruise offers a memorable combination of North Sea scenery, wildlife watching, and fascinating insights into the marine ecosystem. Experience the beauty of the Wadden Sea at different times of the year, including selected dates in autumn and winter.
