Overview

Explore Copenhagen from the water on this private boat tour through the city’s harbor and canals. With a local captain and guide at the helm, you’ll see iconic landmarks like Christiansborg Palace & the Opera House — as well as off-the-beaten-path gems only locals know.

This is a flexible and personalized experience. You can follow your captain’s suggested route or request custom stops — including a refreshing swim in the harbor if the weather allows.

Learn about Danish history, royal landmarks, naval stories, and how modern Copenhagen has grown from its shipbuilding roots into one of the world’s most livable cities. Along the way, your guide will happily take photos of you with the city’s most beautiful waterfront backdrops.
