FAQ
Car-free Juist, known locally as the long island, is reached from Norddeich-Mole either on the Reederei Frisia ferry or on the Inselexpress. The crossing takes 90 minutes and is usually possible twice a day. It depends on the tides, however, so the ships cast off at a different time each day.
Ferry from Norddeich-Mole
The classic island ferry run by Reederei Norden-Frisia leaves from Norddeich-Mole and takes around 90 minutes across the Wadden Sea. Because the harbour on Juist can only be entered at sufficient water levels, the timetable follows the tides and departure times shift from one day to the next. There are therefore no fixed times; what counts is the current timetable.

Juist is car-free, so the vehicle stays on the mainland. The large car parks P1 and P2 sit right by the ferry port at Norddeich, with a shuttle bus to the terminal in season. If you arrive by train, Norddeich Mole station is directly at the jetty.
