Seals & Porpoises
The Oosterschelde is known for its stunning (underwater) flora & fauna. The Oosterschelde is teeming with animals. There is a wide variety of fish, birds and plants, but the most famous inhabitants of the Oosterschelde are the Seals and Porpoises. These marine mammals are showing themselves more and more frequently. During the Boat Trip, you can spot Porpoises, especially when the weather is a bit calmer. You have to look carefully because, often you’ll only see the dorsal fin popping up. Seals are a little easier to find. In low water, you can see them sunbathing on the dry sandbanks.
You can only take the Boat Trip on the Oosterschelde in combination with a visit to the park. The tour takes about an hour. Tickets are for sale at the park’s Ticket Office.
Tickets: €4 per person.
Hours: 13:30 & 15:00 (subject to changes)
