At Easter, many people like to look for Easter eggs in their gardens or in their homes, but did you know that, here on Texel, we hunt for Easter eggs “in the wild”? Easter is a wonderful time to holiday on Texel! There are plenty of organised activities on the island at Easter, but the real highlights are the Easter egg hunts.

Where can you look for Easter eggs on Texel?

Easter egg hunt in De Koog
Who will find the Golden Egg? On Easter Sunday, all the residents of De Koog and all the visitors hunt for Easter eggs in and around the village. Everybody meets up at Dorpsplein at midday. The Easter egg search starts at 1pm. The children can have their faces painted and pick up bunny-ears to wear.

Easter egg hunt among the dunes
The Easter Bunny hides eggs among the dunes close to Paal 28 too. The hunt there starts on Easter Sunday at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The Easter Bunny hides the eggs very well, so you need to look carefully! If you have found three Easter eggs then you will get a tasty reward. Found the Golden Egg? Then you get a nice surprise.

Easter egg hunt in Waalenburg
On both Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, you are welcome to paint your own eggs at Nature Centre De Marel between 11am and 4pm. At 12.30 pm, the search for the Golden Egg starts outside. Participation is free of charge.

Easter egg hunt at Novalishoeve
On Easter Monday, all children are welcome between 10.00 and 12.00 to come and find Easter eggs in the stables of Novalishoeve. If you have found 3 different coloured eggs, you will earn an ice cream!
