Active
Texel is the place to go if you want an active holiday. There are countless opportunities for sports and to actively explore the water, nature and the island. Want to go on the water? Then we recommend catamaran sailing or surfing. Want the rush from high altitude? Then opt for a parachute jump from Texel’s airport. There is also indoor and outdoor karting on Texel, with speeds of a whopping 70 km/hr.
