Wadden Ferry de Vriendschap (Friendship) transports island-hoppers and day-trippers back and forth between Texel and Vlieland. This service is only available in peak season, and the ferry is only accessible to pedestrians. If you book a one-way trip, you can take your bicycle with you. This is a popular option for bicycle holiday travellers who plan to explore the island on their bicycles. The ferry from Texel to Vlieland is a lovely way to travel. The ship is small, and the crossing adventurous. On arrival, you will board an enormous beach truck that drives you across the largest sand flats in northwestern Europe.

Transportation
The Vliehors Express takes you from the Vlieland pier to the Posthuys hotel. A bus route departs from here, but you can also enjoy a wonderful bicycle ride to your Vlieland destination.
