Discover tiny Heligoland

Join us as we explore the small, car-free island of Heligoland, famed for its Lange Anna sea stack, red rock cliffs, sandy beaches and abundant wildlife.   

The island’s cliffs attract breeding seabirds like guillemots, kittiwakes, razorbills, fulmars, and more recently, Northern Gannets. Take the walking trails to the upper part of the island to view the bird cliffs and the biodiverse intertidal zones. Your Expedition Team will be onshore to guide you, or you can explore at your leisure.
