The route is selected around the season, tides, weather, current bird activity and the interests of the group, with birdlife remaining the main focus.
Possible formats include watching sea, tidal-flat and waterbirds around the island's coastal observation areas, visiting the wild eastern end by bicycle, following a spring bird-song route through woodland, gardens and dunes, or combining the birdlife of the Großer Schlopp area with its natural and cultural history. Plants, insects, habitats and island history may be included when they add useful context to the birds and landscape.
Outings can last from two to seven hours. The pace depends on the route and weather, so an outing may be relaxed or more strenuous. Groups can include up to 20 participants, depending on the chosen tour. Public programs have mainly served German-speaking participants, while an English-language tour may be arranged on request. Group pricing is confirmed after inquiry and normally ranges from EUR 160 to EUR 640, depending on the tour and number of participants.
