Seal Safari on Fanø

Nationalpark Safari conducts seal safaris on Fanø all 12 months of the year. However, to ensure the most accurate and reliable tours possible, all departure times are only announced 5–7 days before the beginning of each month. Tides, wind, and weather are the three factors that determine the water level in the Wadden Sea National Park, where the normal difference between high and low tide is 1.8 meters.

Send an SMS to (+45) 20 10 87 17, and I’ll get back to you quickly.

You will be professionally guided on a seal walk in the Wadden Sea National Park on Fanø, where we’ll observe Grey Seals and Harbour Seals along the outermost edge of Denmark’s most majestic nature. We may also spot white-tailed eagles, peregrine falcons, and vast numbers of wading birds, which create the perfect setting for sustainable nature experiences. The seals and eagles live side by side and are both top predators in the Wadden Sea National Park ecosystem — something your guide will tell you about as we enjoy watching them.

Clothing should be suited to the day’s weather, and water shoes are required to protect your feet from razor clams. Rubber boots are necessary in winter. We walk a total of 2.2 km, the tour lasts 2 hours, and we will see white-tailed eagles, grey seals, and harbour seals. I look forward to guiding you!
