Time and programme of the release
We leave by boat from the harbor of Lauwersoog. From there, we sail to a sandbank in the sea.
The time when the boat leaves, depends on the tide. Sometimes, we leave in the morning, other times in the evening. On average, a release lasts three hours. This depends on weather conditions and how quickly the seals move into the sea. In good weather, there is also time to take a short walk on the sandbank.
Food and drinks on board
On board, we have coffee and tea and a cup of orange juice for the children. But you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks. Please note that there is no room for a full picnic on the boat. If you forgot your food, there is also something for small appetite available on the boat free of charge.
