Activities for groups
If you want to take a short break for the whole extended family, to take your football team away for an intensive training weekend or you are organising a company outing, you'll find that Texel is perfect for group holidays, staff outings, project weeks, incentives, family reunions and sports seminars. With these tips, your joint stay will be unforgettable!
Texel is readily accessible: it's only a 20-minute ferry ride from the mainland but a complete getaway from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Texel is a perfect place for a group outing. The island has a broad offering in group accommodations and activities for groups; there are various payment options in place for schools.
There is plenty to do on Texel, ranging from sports seminars to quiet explorations through the countryside, or even studying the cultural landscape, including fine dining and drinks in the pub - everything's possible. Many companies offer programmes and activities for groups but you can also call in a Texel events agency to organise the outing for you or ask them to put together an entire programme.
You can choose from several accommodations on Texel. Which one best suits your group is depending on your preferences and the size of the group. For instance, Texel has a number of hostels, holiday parks, campsites with tent houses and hotels that cater for groups. If you are bringing a school class for a project week, you will not be charged any tourist tax!
Depending on your group size, it is also difficult to do activities with just your group. Take a look at our agenda for the possibilities. There you will find activities such as making a lunch from nature or blokarting on the beach that you can reserve for your group.
Texel has four breweries you can visit. You might get a guided tour, a tasting, or enjoy delicious special beer on the terrace. At Tesselaar Family Brewery Diks, you will be taken into the world of beer brewing and life in the brewery during a 45-minute tour. You get a tasting of 3 different beers in tasting glasses. At the Texel Beer Brewery, you will learn more about the history of the company, and how the beer is made, during the Texels Experience. Tours of the brewery and distillery of De Bonte Belevenis take place several times a day, explaining in a fun way how the craftsmen here make beers, whisky, liqueurs and herb bitters. If you want to visit all four breweries, you can join the Texel Beer Tour - XL with a group of up to 8 people.
Schapenbedrijf De Waddel is located on the Hoge Berg, the sheep area par excellence. About 400 sheep are kept on the farm for wool, lamb and milk production. Schapenboer Jan Willem gives you a tour of the farmyard upon request.
