Program:

🦣 We start on the mainland, where we travel approximately 20,000 years back in time to the last ice age in Scandinavia, and from here we take the tractor bus ride out through the Wadden Sea to the tidal pearl of Mandø.

The light shifts, the nature shifts, and moving around the Wadden Sea over this shift and into the darkness, can give us the feeling of completely losing the sense of time and place, and a very strong presence and sensory contact with the unique nature of the Wadden Sea.

🏝️ On Mandø we watch the sun set while your guide tells you about the island's history, and instructs you to navigate the starry sky based on the star charts you brought with you.

Allowing water levels to do so, we move out a bit toward the Koresand, the 20-square-mile sand bank.

💫 When darkness falls, we explore the starry sky and your guide tells you about the myths behind some of the constellations and celestial phenomena we find in the sky.

After this, the trip goes back through the Wadden Sea in the dark, and in the dark the mind can give us new sensations of moving across the seabed from the island and back to the mainland.

We look forward to creating more Wadden Sea memories with you.
