Island tours happen not only around, but also on Helgoland: with the island train you start your round trip in the Unterland during the approximately 40-minute Unterland trip, the Börte-Bahn takes you past all the hot sports worth seeing on the high seas island. At the same time, you will learn more about the island’s history, the various institutions on the island and even how seawater is turned into drinking water. The tour departs from the landing stage and the southern harbor during the summer season. Fancy a shopping tour afterwards? The tours end in the center and some even offer the possibility to get off at the south harbor.

While you’re at it, you can also plan your next walk if you’re staying longer on the island.
