With a covered wagon through the dunes, the forest, the cranberry fields to the North Sea beach. This is a natural treat from nature ... On this covered wagon tour we fish together with a big net behind the covered wagon for shrimp and whatever the North sea has to offer to us, e.g. crabs, flatfish, jellyfish, sand eels, hermit crabs and starfish. From the catch we make an ‘aquarium’ on the spot so that everyone can see the nature of the North sea. The shrimps will be cooked later on, try them! A great experience for all ages!
