Texel is a popular tourist destination in the Netherlands, sadly not many people outside of the Netherlands are familiar or have even heard of this unique island that is why I felt it was time to expose Texel to the rest of the world with this uniquely crafted TH-cam video and Texel travel guide loaded with tips and my personal advise.
Upon arrival on Texel treat yourself to the most popular local beer on the island; Skuumkoppe. A delicious 6% wheat beer made with fresh filtered dune water, also opt-in for a guided tour through the beer brewery and learn about the local Texel brewing processes.
If you are a big nature buff, definitely checkout the gorgeous De Slufter national park which is part of the Wadden Sea, a massive UNESCO world heritage site and the largest tidel area in the world. Make sure to taste a fresh sea lavender leave for its sea salt content.
Texel is primarily known for skydiving and oyster harvesting, these activities are absolutely worth in participating, especially the Texel Skydive, go watch my dedicated TH-cam video and complete article on the skydiving experience on Texel. Oyster harvesting must have been my second favorite activity on the island, never in my life have I ever tasted such incredible oysters, the oysters from the Wadden Sea were massive and extremely creamy due to their size.
One important note on oyster harvesting, bring tall rain boats, the blubber will completely ruin your shoes. After those salty oysters, you may be in the mood for something sweet, if that is the case, drop by Bakery Timmer and try a local Tessels Kiekje and Hongerpunt which are Dutch cakes.
In the evening have dinner in village De Koog, the party town of Texel for its bars and night clubs. Definitely try the lamb stew at restaurant Eigeweis! If you visit Texel during the summer, you can also watch the fireworks show and ride fairs during the summer funfair.
Other great places are De Worsteltent restaurant for a quality dinner experience and ice cream farm Labora at which you should try the local flavours; Boerenjongens and Kwark. What makes Labora unique is the cows producing the milk literally on-site, go watch the automatic milk-robot at work.
Additionally, go back in time to the Dutch Golden Age at museum Kaap Skil to learn everything about the many Dutch merchant vessels laying anchorage at Oudeschild, Texel waiting for the right winds to set sail to the rest of the world. Texel used to be world's largest anchorage spot. Top it off at cheese cafe Wezenspyk and try the local stinging nettle and beer cheeses, you may be pleasantly surprised, bring those cheeses for the road trip back.
Basically, Texel is a small island consisting of 7 villages on the northern tip of the Netherlands. Texel receives 30% more sun compared to any other part of the Netherlands. In conclusion, consider Texel for a day trip or stay the night at the funky booby trap hotel De Kievit for a few laughs. If you like natural beauty, beaches, oysters, getting a bit dirty and local Dutch culture than Texel is for you!

Wow...thanks. Texel island is part of my heritage, as my 6th great grandfather, went to the US as a child servant, in the late 1600's. And, I never realised it was pronounced "Tessel"...which is I'm sure where the surname "VanTassel" (my maiden sir name) came from.
From Texel! That makes total sense. Pretty amazing story!!
Me and my gf live on Texel. Great explanation! We absolutely love your video. You are really enthousiast and your video had a lot of information. Great content!

Thank you for the great video. I was born in Den Burg and migrated to Australia with my family over sixty years ago when I was 2 years old. I have never been back but I am looking forward to taking my 17 year old grandson on a trip there in about twelve months.
Married to a Texel from Den Burg. So in love with my man,and the Island. I bring him back to my Island....Singapore.
I just found out I had an ancestor named Govert Vannoy who was born in Texel in 1620. Very cool
I have cousins who live there. I'll be sure to give Texel a visit on my next trip to the Netherlands.
It will be worth it, pick a sunny day though

Ich war vor einigen Wochen auf der Insel: Hier ein schöner Film über die Insel Texel: th-cam.com/video/di-xPg3mivY/w-d-xo.html
My house is on texel
Are you still in texel??
Hi family
Texel is verworden tot een Efteling. We hebben er twintig jaar gewoond, maar zijn van ellende vertrokken.
Ik woon daar
Ly
Can you say Hoi
Hoi ;)
ben je Nederlands
Misschien :)
ja dus oke ik dacht al omdat je zij wel heel goed proost maar ik woon op texel
Heerlijk eiland, je bent een geluksvogel
This didnt help me
What were you looking for?
Thing 1: get on the boat to Den Helder
Thing 2: take the bus to Friesland
Thing 3: go to one of the better wadden isles.
Nog kidding tho. People on Texel are extremely rude and unfriendly. There’s completely no hospitality there.
Yeah this looks like a resort area with too many tourists, but only island that I can access in my short vacation.
Ah c'mon it's not that bad. Texel is a great place
@@Reformatt no. I used to work there. Never have I ever experienced a place where hospitality staff (hotels, restaurants, etc) literally complains loudly the moment people show up. They are arrogant and rude. The moment you sound slightly different than their Hollandic accent, they have
already decided that they don’t like you. And as I worked in hospitality, they actually got holstile towards me. People in Texel are horrible. Literally every single one that I encountered. I whish they would all drown.
And they don’t have any actual nature. The entire island is a polder we never should have made. It’s literally all fake. Want to see nature? Go to the _actual_ wadden islands.
