Our Animations Service

Horizon offers tailor-made activity programmes for groups staying with us. At your request, we can guide you in putting together an animation programme. This is possible from 1 year before arrival. Our deadline: the animation offer must be signed 3 months before arrival.

Start in good time, preferably at least 6 months before your stay. For stays in May-June, we recommend booking earlier. Early requests have a greater chance of availability.

Steps to follow if you wish to book animations through Horizon:

    1. Use the filters below to set your criteria.
    2. View the list of animations that meet your criteria.
    3. Click on what you find interesting to gather concrete information about the activity.
    4. Share your choices with Horizon via e-mail, preferably with a weekly schedule.
    5. If necessary, we will provide feedback on the schedule. (e.g. closing days, feasibility, etc.)
    6. Horizon will prepare a no-obligation animation quote.
    7. Only after signing the quote, Horizon will effectively request, book and, if necessary, adjust the activities according to availability.
    8. Once all your activities have been booked, you will receive an overview. At check-in, we hand over the entire package incl. entrance tickets, itinerary and (if requested) tram tickets.
    9. After your stay, Horizon will make a settlement of the activities package based on the conditions of our partners.

This way you can enjoy your time by the sea to the fullest!

Some fun seaside activities include catching crabs, shrimp fishing, the Story of WWII on the coast in Atlantic Wall, Astropolis astronomy and space travel, a boat trip with the Franlis, a fully organised sports day or afternoon on site with Sportievak or a visit to Sea Life. It's all possible.

Please note that we can arrange workshops and transport, not lunch locations. Many places do not have a refectory or space to eat inside. Keep this in mind when planning your programme. Our refectories in Horizon are always accessible to eat your picnic.
