5.00Enjoyed by all the family! Kayaking in double kayaks around the canals of København - our guide Ivan looked after us all and shared interesting things about the city as we paddled around. Recommended.
Great family activity

4.00It's a great way to see the city. If you've never picked up a paddle before it'll be hard for you because you're crossing big channels ans navigating with boats, but, it's really easy once you get the hang of it. If you pat attention, the guide, Christian, has lots of interesting information to share, too.
So much fun

City tour once different

5.00Kayaking through Copenhagen was an experience. Good, it was sun, only light wind and we were a nice group, but also the guide Jonas was very nice. He stopped at some stations and also talked a lot about the city itself. You have to pay attention to the many excursion boats, but even there our guide was always very careful. We then walked the entire route again in the afternoon, which only reinforced the impression of a great city.
Copenhagen from the Water -- Incredible!

5.00Liv was an excellent guide! She made sure we all understood the rules of kayaking in the canals of Copenhagen, before leading us on a wonderful behind the streets (and from the water!) tour of the city. Her stories were interesting and certainly a different view than what we received on other tours. I would highly recommend seeing Copenhagen from this vantage point!
Wonderful way to see the city

5.00Liv was a great guide. She made sure we all felt comfortable and secure in our kayaking abilities and told great stories throughout the tour (we went on several tours while in Copenhagen and it was nice to hear something fresh and new). What a wonderful way to see the city! I would highly recommend.

3.00Kayaking in the canals was a good way to see the city, but our guide, Jonas, while being a very nice guy, told us almost nothing about the sites we passed.
Such a fun way to see...
