There is plenty to experience for families, but couples and friends will also find the ideal mix of relaxation and activities here.
Experience the autumn on an island full of tranquility and adventure.
Autumn is the perfect time to go out with the whole family. Go to the beach, take a walk along the shore and let the children search for shells, fly kites or build a fort in the sand. Cycle together through forests full of autumn colors or join a tractor tour along the beach.
Join a mudflat excursion or spot seals during a boat trip over the Wadden Sea. For families, there is a wide range of activities suitable for every age, from scavenger hunts and museums to an evening walk where you can see the lighthouse shining together.

In the blog Ameland with children there are plenty of tips to discover new places together. Through the activities and events calendar you can easily book tickets for excursions and guided tours. And if it rains one day? Then the indoor activities will provide enough entertainment.
Whether you come with your family, partner, or friends: in autumn your accommodation on Ameland feels extra cozy. A holiday home, apartment, or B&B forms the perfect base for autumn walks, bike rides, and day trips. Do you want to rent a holiday home during the autumn holiday? Then take a look at our current offer and find your ideal place for a few days or a week away.
Sleeping together on Ameland means space, comfort, and coziness. Think of a holiday home with a large garden where the children can play safely or a bungalow park with facilities such as a swimming pool or playground. There are also cozy apartments and farms where you immediately experience the island atmosphere. This way, your stay feels like a warm home after a day full of discoveries.
On Ameland, you almost automatically get on the bike. Rent a bike, cargo bike or children's tandem and ride together over shell paths through the dunes and along the forests, while the waves can be heard in the distance and the salty air greets you.
In autumn, the leaves turn red and yellow and crunch under your tires, making every trip feel like an adventure. At every turn, a new view appears: the beach that lies endlessly before you, a herd quietly grazing, or the lighthouse that rises above the island.
Along the way, there is always room to get off briefly, run through the sand, or simply enjoy the tranquility that is so typical for this season.
Those who come to Ameland in the autumn see the island from a different perspective. The light becomes softer, the air fresher, and the beaches more expansive.
A walk through the dunes feels more intense now that you feel the wind on your cheeks and hear the sea more fully. In the villages, a cozy calm prevails: a place where you can settle down for a moment with hot chocolate or a hearty lunch.
Would you like more inspiration and seasonal ideas? Then read our blog autumn on Ameland, where this colorful season is highlighted in detail.
After a day outside, it is wonderful to enjoy the flavors of the island together.
Cranberries, cheeses, and mustard literally give the autumn holiday an island touch.
Many products are still made locally and thus tell their own story about Ameland. With a jar of jam on the table or a slice of cheese with the drinks, you bring the island feeling directly into your holiday home, and often also take it home with you, as a flavorful memory of your stay.
Ameland has places where the view almost seems to come from a fairy tale. From high dunes such as the Oerdblinkert, you can look endlessly out over the mudflats and the North Sea, and from the lighthouse you see the island lying like a painting. For children, such a climb feels like an adventure, with the idea at the top that you can oversee the whole world. These are magical moments that you do not quickly forget together.

And then those sunsets… In autumn, the sky colors gold and orange early in the evening. The beach slowly turns into a backdrop of warm tones, while the sun sets behind the horizon. Especially because it gets dark earlier in this season, it is a special experience for children: seeing the sun disappear into the sea together before bedtime. A moment that feels as if you are standing right in the middle of a story from a fairy tale book.
