Go on a safe island getaway with the Tunø ferry

Lige ud for Odderkysten ligger den lille ø Tunø, som du kommer til med Tunøfærgen.

Sæt roligt bilen på havnen i Hou, før du hopper på færgen. En væsentlig årsag til øens atmosfære er nemlig, at den er bilfri. Traktorer af alle slags, scootere og cykler er Tunøs eneste transportmidler.

Sejladsen tager en time, og undervejs kan du være heldig at spotte spættede sæler og marsvin i farvandet omkring Tunø.

Før turen går retur til fastlandet, kan børnene hygge sig på den store legeplads og fange krabber ved havnen.

Go for the treasure and a free Tunø medal

How do you get children to get up early and go for a long walk? You send them on a treasure hunt around Tunø!

Afterwards, the coveted Tunø medal awaits you at the merchant’s house, Tunø Købmandsgård, where you can also buy something to eat or refill your water bottle for the hike. In the summer, you can also fill your picnic basket along the route with nature’s snacks from apple trees and thickets of rosehips and blackberries.

Here, you can enjoy a (delicious) bite to eat

Especially in the summer, the island is bustling and full of activity. Vegetable stalls offer new potatoes, crisp green asparagus and fresh carrots. Furthermore, the restaurants and the port restaurants stay open late. If you visit in the winter, please note the out-of-season opening hours.
