Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite

Overview

3 hours

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.

We had a great time travelling the canals. Lovely small group and our guide had lots of information and history to share with us. Conversation flowed and it really did feel like you were amongst friends. Definitely put this on your list of things to do when visiting Copenhagen.
Fantastic and intimate tour

Fantastic experience with Mathilde even with the chilly damp weather! It was so great getting to know her and Copenhagen. Great way to explore the city. She’s so knowledgeable about the city’s history and architecture. Stayed warm with blankets and hot cocoa. Highly recommend!

best time ever! really enjoyed the ride and the talk! i recommend it to anyone who is a first timer in Copenhagen! Only small dissapointment was that we had to pay for two hit chocos and a coffee. It could have been free of charge!

We booked the one-hour tour with Captain Anna. Social sailing really is a great idea. Very pleasant in a small group. Anytime again when we come to Copenhagen again.
Fun times on the water!

Elias was our guide on the 2-hour tour, which leads more to the outskirts. Elias introduced his city with charm and enthusiasm, bringing us closer to Copenhagen. Thanks for that. The one-hour tour probably goes more to the inner districts and the 3-hour then covers both.
Matilde was a great...

Matilde was a great guide! And the guys at the Social Sailing van were very helpful- they even helped me charge my phone and give me excellent recommendations of where to have a drink and get dinner.
Great tour and guide!
