Time for outdoors, Ameland in the autumn

The summer is coming to an end, but on Ameland, perhaps the most beautiful time of the year is just beginning.

The air is fresh, nature colors warmly, and the island breathes tranquility. For those who love an active outdoor life, this is the perfect moment to experience nature up close. On Ameland, every path is an adventure.

Go out and experience outdoor life

Ameland is an island of peace, space, and nature in the autumn. Discover the birds, walk along mushrooms and expansive beaches, cycle through colorful dunes, and be surprised by views you won't find anywhere else.

Bird and Animal Watching in Late Summer and Autumn

Ameland is a paradise for nature lovers. During the bird migration, the salt marshes, the Oerd, and the Nieuwlandsreid fill with thousands of migratory birds on their way south. But there is more: besides birds, you can also spot other animals here that call these unique natural areas their home. Bring your binoculars and let yourself be surprised by the richness of Ameland's nature.

Walking and cycling among autumn colors

The forests, dunes, and polders transform into a colorful palette. Mushrooms sprout along the walking paths and in the dunes you can smell the salty autumn air. Whether you choose a short walk or a vigorous bike ride: everywhere you feel the power of nature.

Adventure in nature

Autumn on Ameland calls for adventure. Mudflat hiking over the seabed, with your boots through mud and sand. Or join a guide in an electric all-terrain vehicle for an eco safari and discover how rugged and at the same time vulnerable nature is. The Forest, Beach, and Lighthouse tour also lets you experience the island in a different way: together with a guide, you trek through forest and dune, walk along the beach, and conclude the tour with a climb to the lighthouse. Especially in this season, with falling evening and soft autumn colors, you experience how dynamically the island lives.

The blog Autumn on Ameland is full of tips for discovering 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 provide plenty of coziness.

In autumn, the light is soft and golden. From the viewpoints, you can see how the cloudy skies move over the sea and the marshes are slowly cloaked in autumn colors. From the top of the lighthouse, you can see for miles and experience the island in all its seasonal richness.
