Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite
Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
At Hey Captain we do Social Sailing, where you meet new people and explore Copenhagen harbor. We started as friends on a boat and this is the atmosphere we want to deliver to our guests. It's a talk and a dialogue more than your standard classical tour.
The Captain’s Favorite is for you who wants to explore all of Copenhagen in its full glory. We explore the development of the harbor by journeying through areas that has been built by creating artificial islands over the last many decades. We do a brief stop at the fortress on Trekroner Island where history mix with the future, when we explore the historic fortress and see the first land reclamation of Lynetteholmen - the future island of Copenhagen. We then continue to Nordhavn where you experience firsthand the modern part of Copenhagen and how urbanization is transforming the industrial harbor into the recreational oasis that has made Copenhagen so famous. In the end we finish off with the picturesque canals of the old city centre.

5.00One of my absolute most favorite things I did in my short time in Copenhagen. Delightful way to see the sights from water level, enjoy a glass of wine and have some fun conversation. Captain Tiece was delightful! Highly recommend!

5.00It was better than I expected and our captain was great. Sorry I don’t remember his name but he was good at remembering all of our names.
Don’t miss Copenhagen from the water!

5.00Rose was brilliant. Everyone relaxed immediately and she got us all talking. Great way to get feel for the city away from traffic and people. Highly recommend.
Hygge in action

5.00I’d heard about the Danish concept of ‘hygge’ - which I understand to mean a kind of warm fellowship and coziness - and this tour with Rose as our guide was like a demonstration of the concept. I loved learning about Rose (who was knowledgeable about her city, but also warm and encouraging of our contributions) and the others on the tour as well as learning about Copenhagen. I highly recommend this tour!
