- Mudflat hiking (vadehavsvandring) — Walk where the sea used to be: low tide opens vast mudflats that are home to crabs, worms and billions of tiny creatures, and guided walks let you safely explore this surreal, flat landscape and feel the scale of the whole Wadden Sea.
- Seal sandbanks — Sandbanks dotted just off the shore are favorite haul-out spots for grey seals; you can often spot adults and pups from boats or distant viewpoints, and the sight of seals basking on shimmering sand feels like a wildlife reward for getting up early.
- Migratory bird spectacles — The park is a stopover on a major flyway: in spring and autumn hundreds of thousands of shorebirds and ducks feed on the tidal flats and marshes, making the mudflats sound and move like a living carpet.

- Mandø — the tidal island — A small island that you reach when the tide allows; its tidal road, salt marsh edges and tiny village give a strong sense of how people and nature live with the sea here.
- Rømø’s wide beaches and dunes — One of Denmark’s broadest sandy shores, great for long walks, kite sports and big-sky sunsets; the rolling dunes behind the beach create classic coastal habitat and lots of room to breathe.
- Fanø’s heath and coastal culture — Fanø blends dunes and heath with old seaside villages and easy bike trails; it’s a quieter way to experience the Wadden Sea habitat while enjoying local character and coastal views.
- Skallingen and the shifting sandspit — A raw, windswept spit where dunes and coastline change year to year; it’s a stark, beautiful place for long shoreline walks and bird- and seal-spotting in a landscape that feels dynamically alive.
