The Wadden Sea Guides - RO by the Wadden Sea are hosts for close experiences in, and at, the Wadden Sea, experiences we sense through small details and strong impressions when we go exploring together, so that long after you return home, you still feel the connection to the Wadden Sea and to what you experienced together.

Because experiences add value to life and communities.

“When the Sky Moves”

There is a special time on the Wadden Sea when the light becomes soft and the expanses of the marshes awaken in a new way. 

This is where the evening unfolds and the birds begin their great movements towards the night.

Join us on a magical journey and experience one of Denmark's most fascinating natural experiences: the Wadden Sea, the idyllic island of Mandø and the charming seals in their natural surroundings.

We meet at the parking lot at Okholmvej 5, 6760 Ribe, your guide is waiting for you by the flag “Waddehavguiderne”

Together we drive along the Låningsvejen safely through the Wadden Sea. In your own cars, you decide whether you want to extend your trip to Mandø, you will be guided in relation to the tide on the day in question.

We take the trip to Mandø town, and back along the dike to our starting point for the trip out to the seals, we have to walk about 3 km.

We visit the seals in their natural environment on their premises, and bring binoculars so that we can observe them from a distance.

On the trip, we explore the seabed and explore based on the impressions of the day.

The unique nature of the Wadden Sea creates strong impressions that leave an imprint on the body and soul. You will experience the Wadden Sea through your senses, so that the Wadden Sea crawls completely under your skin and creates memories you will remember for a long time.

 

Organized by the Wadden Sea Guides - RO by the Wadden Sea, we host close experiences also for smaller groups.

On March 21, you can experience the Ribe Oyster Festival, and in this connection you have the opportunity to choose a whole experience where you start the day by picking oysters and drinking champagne in the middle of the Wadden Sea.

Once the harvest is bagged, head to Vester Vedsted Vineyard, where the picked oysters are grilled and you have the opportunity to enjoy “The Watcher's Godnat Oysters”, the Arrest Warden's Lunch”, “Maren Splids Smedelse's Secret” or “The Bishop's Love”. 

Experience the vastness of the Wadden Sea and enjoy the delicacies of the sea — oysters — directly from their habitat in the middle of the Wadden Sea at Mandø, and then visit the oyster festival in the stylish surroundings of Ribe, where you will enjoy the maritime atmosphere in festive layers.

You must be dressed appropriately for today's weather. Minimum rubber boots, preferably paders.

You will be given gloves, a sack for collecting oysters, champagne glasses (for loan)

We also bring champagne (with and without alcohol), champagne sabers, and oyster knives.

We hike together from the dike on Mandø and out to the oyster banks.

After about 2 km we arrive at the oyster banks.

Here we collect our oysters, and eat a few with a glass of bubbly champagne.

You must take home as many oysters as you need.

We look forward to a day filled with delicate experiences in the unique nature of the Wadden Sea.

“Into the Light — Home in the Silence”

The Wadden Sea at sunset is something you can't quite explain -- you have to walk it.

The light glides low across the water, the sky gets bigger, and the open landscape feels almost like another world. On this hike we go out into the sunset and home of Mandø Ebvevj in the deeper calm of dusk.

We start with soup at Vester Vedsted Vingård, where you will also get a brief introduction to the Wadden Sea and the movements of the tides.

After that we drive to Mandø Ebvevej, where the tour both starts and

ends, and from here we walk along the dike to the north and further out onto Låningsvejen.

We stop about 4 km outside, where we stand still and follow the sun down into the ocean horizon.

Then we turn east and walk home along Mandø Ebvevj — now on the seabed, while the last light of day recedes and darkness announces its arrival. It is in this shift that the senses are sharpened, and many experience a special calm in the body.

The terrain is varied, and on parts of the trip we go into water — up to knee height.

Tide and Safety:

The tide determines unconditionally. We plan according to tide tables and local conditions and we never compromise on safety. The route can therefore be adjusted so that the experience becomes safe and in balance with the forces of nature.
