Amber Safari

The entire family can embark on an exciting treasure hunt at the indoor amber beach, where tiny golden treasures are hidden.

If you’d rather try your luck finding amber in the wild, the Amber Safari is the perfect experience. Jyllandsakvariet’s expert guides will take you on an adventure along the shoreline, teaching you how to spot genuine amber among the rocks and seaweed. Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of amber and how to distinguish real pieces from ordinary yellow stones.

Seal and Dolphin Safari

Amber safaris are just one of the many guided outdoor experiences offered by Jyllandsakvariet. If you want to encounter marine wildlife in its natural habitat, a seal or dolphin safari is a must. Hop aboard one of Jyllandsakvariet’s safari boats, where an experienced skipper will guide you through the stunning landscapes of the Limfjord and the vast waters of the North Sea.

On the sandbanks around Thyborøn, large colonies of harbor seals and gray seals bask in the sun – a truly special sight. If you’re lucky, you might even spot the playful dolphins that have made the area their new home in recent years. These intelligent marine mammals are a joy to watch as they gracefully leap through the waves. The safari tours move at a relaxed pace, giving you plenty of time to take in the spectacular scenery and capture amazing photos.
