Switch off your stress mode and relax.... enjoy the pure air, the beautiful sceneries, the incredible skies, the hikes, cultural picturesque villages and farms. Try some of the culinary specialities of the island, such as rye bread, farm cheese, mustard and catfish. A shot of Ameland’s authentic liqueur is called a Nobeltje. Enjoy!

Ameland offers many activities throughout the year:
Beach express: tractor rides across the beach,
Seal watching: boat tours to the seal colony on a neighbouring sandbank,
Horseback Rescue Team: watch their monthly demonstrations,
De Oerdblinkert: climb the 24-metres high dune,
Commander’s homes: the oldest buildings on the island,
Sport fishing: Ameland is a great place to fish for mackerel.

De Hôn and Het Oerd nature reserves are home to fantastic flora and fauna, and the island has a rich history of whaling and merchant shipping.

My parents bought "De Borch" back in 1979, the place is very dear to me and I've grown very fond of the island, which I consider to be my second home. It's the place where I recharge my batteries. On Ameland, anything goes. There are not even traffic lights... ;-)

I invite everyone to come and explore the island's beauty, entertainment, festivals and more.
