Destination guide
Discover Holwert
Holwert, also widely known as Holwerd, is the mainland departure point for Ameland. The ferry terminal is reached by a causeway beyond the village.
Navigate to the Wagenborg ferry terminal rather than the village centre. Allow time for mainland parking and passenger boarding, or join the reserved vehicle departure with the correct ticket.
This is a transport gateway on the Friesland Wadden coast. Before returning from Ameland, check bus connections and the time needed to reach a parked car or onward road route.

Planning your Holwert ferry journey
Getting to the port
Navigate to the Wagenborg ferry terminal rather than the village centre. Allow time for mainland parking and passenger boarding, or join the reserved vehicle departure with the correct ticket.
Check the correct terminal
This is a transport gateway on the Friesland Wadden coast. Before returning from Ameland, check bus connections and the time needed to reach a parked car or onward road route.
Build in time
Allow for the journey to the terminal, check-in, parking where needed and the walk or queue for boarding. The scheduled sailing time is not the time to arrive at the port.
Before you travel
Recheck the departure status, identification requirements, luggage or vehicle conditions and any operator messages. If you have a tight onward connection, add a realistic buffer because ferries operate in a marine environment and timings can change.
For accommodation, weigh proximity to the terminal against access to the places you want to visit. An early sailing often favours a port-side stay; a later departure may make a central location more useful.
