Anita Huisman, who has been running this with heart and soul for eighteen years, is stopping. No new rides, no more rentals. Done. The good news? Soon you’ll be able to buy one yourself. But if you just want to ride one more time on Texel – this year is your last chance.
Explore the island with the TukTuk
We jumped in ourselves to test it again. A loop over the Hoge Berg, catching the breeze on the dike at Oudeschild, stopping for soft serve at the harbor, then cruising past fields with those classic Texel sheep. You shift into total relax mode – and that’s exactly what makes it fun. You see more. You talk more. You stop wherever you want.
The TukTuk Express has made it possible to discover Texel in a laid-back way all these years. But now it really is almost over. The Ape Calessinos – the iconic Italian three-wheelers that started it all – will be sold next year. And these aren’t standard vehicles. They’re limited editions: only 999 exist.
Adopt a TukTuk?
From January, you can get your hands on one. For anyone who’s ever thought “I want one of those,” that’s the moment to act. Under this blog you can sign up to be the first to know once they go on sale.
But until then? Ride. Now. This year. Because when they close after November, there’s no “Oh, next time.” There is no next time. This is that last time.
Last chance
So book another ride. Bring friends. Take the family out. Or go just the two of you – with picnics, photo stops and unexpected conversations. The TukTuk Express is Texel at its best: quirky, a bit slow and with real style.

Because let’s be honest: sure, you can take a bike or a scooter. But nothing beats one last ride in that bright blue three-wheeler.
Last chance. This summer. After that: only for sale. Want to stay updated? You can do that under this blog. But first – book and ride. While you still can.
