1st Day Enkhuizen (Embarkation)
Individual journey to Enkhuizen. Embarkation and check in on board from 2 pm close to the railway station near the beautiful centre of Enkhuizen. Once everyone has unpacked and settled in, the skipper joins the guests for an aperitif before giving a short briefing about the journey, details about the ship and relevant safety measures to be taken on board. In the evening, there is time to take a stroll through the historical centre of Enkhuizen, a quaint town that was home to the Dutch merchant fleet during the Dutch Golden Age. The first night on board is spent in Enkhuizen on the western bank of the IJsselmeer.
2nd Day Enkhuizen - Medemblik
(aprx. 14 - 22 mi./24 - 37 km)
Sailing: Medemblik - Den Oever (- Texel)
Today you enjoy your first cycling tour along the coast of the Ijsselmeer through the beautiful polder landscape to Medemblik. After the cycle, the ship sails to Den Oever. Depending on the weather, the ship will set sail once more in the evening, crossing the Wadden Sea (part of the North Sea) to the island of Texel.
3rd Day Texel, Roundtrip Texel from/to Oudeschild
(up to aprx. 30 mi./49 km)
The island of Texel is a cyclist’s dream destination with its varied scenery, well signposted cycle paths and picturesque villages. We suggestion a round tour around Texel, the largest of the Dutch North Sea islands, which takes you through a number of villages, to the seal sanctuary “Ecomare” and a traditional beer brewery near the harbour of Oudeschild.
4th Day Texel – Terschelling
(Sailing about 5 to 6 hrs)
Today you can enjoy a longer sail to the island of Terschelling, weather and tide permitting. As you sail through Wadden Sea, keep a lookout for seals relaxing on the sandbanks. During the sail, a bountiful lunch is served on board. In the afternoon, the ship arrives on Terschelling. The island is home to a number of picturesque villages situated between the polder and sand dunes that stretch along its 30 km expanse. No dinner is served tonight to allow time for you to explore the island. You can either make a picnic dinner or enjoy a meal at one of the restaurants in Terschelling.
5th Day Terschelling
(round tour up to 44 mi./70 km)
Sailing: Terschelling – Harlingen
While the previous day was all about sailing, today is all about cycling. Terschelling has plenty to offer its cycle tourists: nature and culture, 44 mi./70 km of cycling tracks and four beautiful villages. West Terschelling is the largest village on the island and has several lovely shops and pubs. The standout landmark on the island is the 400-year-old lighthouse “Brandaris” that can be seen from well off in the distance. The heathland of “Boschplaat” is also well worth exploring, a landscape that captivates mudflats, beaches and dunes. If you’re lucky, you may even spot ducks, black-winged stilts, large colonies of spoonbills and great black-backed gulls. After a long day of cycling, you can relax once more onboard the ship. In the late afternoon, the ship crosses the Wadden Sea to Harlingen, the most important harbour city in the province of Friesland.
6th Day Harlingen – Franeker – Makkum
(aprx. 29 – 36 mi./48 - 58 km)
Today you cycle through the beautiful Frisian countryside, via Franeker, with the famous planetarium Eise Eisinga, through several rural villages to the small harbour of Makkum on the eastern bank of the Ijsselmeer. If you choose to cycle the longer tour, you will also have the chance to visit Bolsward, one of the Eleven Frisian Cities.
7th Day Makkum – Stavoren
(aprx. 19 – 30 mi./32 - 49 km)
Sailing to Enkhuizen
The day begins with a cycle from Makkum to Stavoren. The short route leads via the old trading town of Hindeloopen. The local painting style, traditionally used as decorative painting, is well known around the world. The first Frisian Museum of Ice Skating is also located in Hindeloopen. The longer tour leads along several Frisian lakes and through a variety of landscapes. In the late afternoon, the ship leaves Stavoren sailing across the Ijsselmeer to Enkhuizen.
8th Day Enkhuizen (Disembarkation)
Disembarkation after breakfast until 9.30 am. A beautiful journey full of new experiences has come to an end. Individual journey home or extended stay.

Accommodation

Leafde Fan Fryslan (Tall Ships)

Important information

Spoken language

Due to our international audience all Islandhopping tours are conducted bilingually, in English and German.

Itinerary changes

The planned itinerary is subject to change due to nautical, technical, meteorological reasons, or any other unforeseen circumstances. Should the conditions render a planned sailing route unsafe, the captain reserves the right to change course. While some adventure and spontaneity are to be expected in every Sail & Bike tour, the departure and arrival days and location (Enkhuizen) are fixed. For the rest of the time, the captain decides day by day on the best route and discusses the options with his guests. The crew do whatever they can to run the program according to plan and to offer you a fascinating, varied, and active week, in which both nature and culture play a major part. It is however possible that departure times, the time spent on the water, and even the order of the program itself will have to be adjusted. So, enjoy the experience and the adventure and let the elements lead the way! Wherever possible, the ship will sail under full sail. You are more than welcome to help the crew sail and steer the ship. No sailing experience is required.

Requirements

Level 1 - 2

Tours of low to moderate difficulty with mostly flat stages ranging from 15 mi. to 30 mi./24 km to 49 km in length. All distances are “approximate distances” of recommended bike tours. The daily individual cycle tours are conducted at your own pace and without a tour guide. There are daily briefings on board, and detailed bicycle maps and route notes are available. When there are two cycle routes possible, you can choose yourself whether to cycle the longer or the shorter option. Please note that on the shorter tours, not all the above-mentioned highlights can be visited. Long and steep ascents are extremely rare; however, some routes do lead through hilly countryside with regular ascents and descents. There may be times that you must cycle into a strong headwind. You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the ship instead of taking a planned cycle tour.

Requirement to wear a helmet

Helmets are mandatory on our bike tours. It is advised to bring your own, well fitted, helmet with you as our rental helmet numbers are limited (reservation required).

Bringing children

We believe that only children with a good physical condition and previous bicycle tour experience and a minimum age of 10 are able to master the cycle tours with their own strength.

 

For the best tour experience with children, we recommend our Multi-Adventure tours in Croatia or Greece. We are convinced that these itineraries provide the best all-round experience for each individual family member when travelling as a family.

Bringing private bikes

You are welcome to bring your own private bike with you on this tour. If you are planning on bringing your own bike, please inform us of the category type (hybrid bike/e-bike). If you bring your own bikes, an additional fee will be charged for storage of your bikes on board.

 

Liability disclaimer:

If you bring your private bike, you do so at your own risk. The owner of the boat, the crew, the tour guides, and the tour operator will not be held liable for any damages to the bike or for the theft thereof which may occur during your time on tour.

Gebrauchsbedingungen & Haftung für Mieträder

If you do not bring your own bike, you can rent a hybrid bike or e-bike along with a pannier bag for the duration of the Sail & Bike tour. Except for the time when the (e-)bike is on the deck of ship, you are responsible and liable for your rental bike and accessories for the duration of the rental period. This means you should always lock your bicycle when it is parked on land, and you take the pannier bag with you. It is of great importance that you pay attention to and follow the instructions given by the tour leader where and how to park your bike. In case of damage to or theft of the bike, the costs will be charged to you.

Luggage

Please bring your personal belongings in foldable travel bags. Please avoid hard protective cases. They will be too heavy to store within your cabin.

Catering

Full board (7 x breakfast, 5 x packed lunches/1 x lunch on board, 6 x dinner on board/1 x packed dinner).

Noise on board

Please do not forget that the ship is your hotel as well as a machine, which has to be maintained and operated – day and night. A certain level of noise is therefore inevitable.
