Hey Captain is a charming canal tour with a local vibe. Our ambition is to deliver a personal, social and informative tour in a unique way that will make our guests remember as the highlight of their trip. This 2-hour Hidden Gems tour will take you to the captain's favorite spots, which are off the beaten track from the standard path in the inner city. We will explore upcoming residential areas of the North harbor where the Venice-inspired residential homes and buildings are emerging in areas formerly used for industrial purposes. You will gain a sense of the city and how the Danish lifestyle and design influences the development of the harbor, more than an overload of historical facts.

What To Expect

Ofelia Plads

This 2-hour "Hidden gems" tour will take you to Hey Captain's favorite spots, which are off the beaten track from the standard canal tour routes in the inner town. We will explore upcoming residential areas of either the South or North harbor, where the Venice-inspired residential homes and buildings are emerging in areas formerly used for industrial purposes. As we explore the upcoming areas you will see how former industrial buildings are being transformed into new spaces, where new and old are mixed in the architectural structures. You will gain a sense of the city and how the Danish lifestyle and design influences the development of the harbor, more than an overload of historical facts.

This was the highlight of our Copenhagen trip and we enjoyed every minute of the tour during which Magnus gave us so many insights.

A friend who lives in the region recommended this tour operator. With only 10 people on the boat, we had a great opportunity to meet new people and share stories on a very pleasant trip around the major water sights of Copenhagen. Hey Captain should be your "GO TO" trp provider should you wish to do a water tour. Hey Captain was the hidden gem on our recent trip to Copenhagen.

We were in Copenhagen for 3 days. The boat tour with Hey Captain was the highlight of our trip. Captain Chris was very knowledgeable of the area and made the activity fun and relaxing. We toured for 2 hours. I wish it would have been longer.
Great!

Great experience and lovely staff. The tour was well organised and gave us the chance to see both the old and new Copenhagen. It was nice to be in a smaller friendlier boat rather than one of those larger impersonal tours.
Fabulous!

We had a wonderful tour of Copenhagen with Steve. He was a great guide, providing historical facts and recommendations for places to visit while we were here. He was very engaging! Love the intimate feel of a small vessel and the chance to engage with everyone on the tour.
Thoroughly Enjoyable Experience!

We had an outstanding experience and loved Captain Steve. Tour was two hours and loved learning about the 5 minute cities and the inventive use of space (ski hill and climbing wall on waste ro enerfy plant). Small boat allowed us to go into smaller canals. We all really enjoyed the “social” component and opportunity to connect and share stories. Highly, highly recommend.

This was a fantastic way to see so much of the city. The smaller group setting and the ability to chat amongst other passengers makes this a truly unique experience. Well worth the booking.
Great find !

Fabulous people ! Really enjoyed this tour - the boat and much needed blankets were very comfortable! Oscar was very friendly and knowledgeable. Could have a hot drink or a beer/wine so take some cash. My only disappointment was we didn’t do any landmarks - but more my fault for assuming it was the hour long tour plus hidden gems and not reading it properly. Great company and would definitely do it again next visit.
