About this experience
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.

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.

Family tour
Excellent tour! Well worth the time and a very enjoyable experience. Elliot, our captain, made us feel right at home and we all loved getting to see so many Copenhagen sights. Would highly recommend.

Not one of the typical boat tours - you will love it!
One of the best experiences you can have in Copenhagen! We did the "Hidden Gems" tour and we liked it so much, that we took another tour one day later in order to see everything!

Excellent experience
Wow - what an excellent experience. Our tour guide / driver Rebecca was excellent and took time in sharing the sights of the harbour with us. Highly recommend booking with this company.

Highly recommend this boat ride!
Highly recommend this boat ride! Excellent tour! You get to experience Copenhagen from the water, learn about the various areas, ask questions and relax in the boat. I was with my 20 year old daughter and we both loved it! So much better than the big tour boats. More intimate You will be in full sun if that matters to you. They provide sunscreen and blankets if needed.

Just a harbour tour
Which hidden gems ? Just a boring harbour tour. No hidden jems inside the town on the touristic spots. I assumed the small boat would get into spots where big boats could not come. Hughe disappointment

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours) cost?
+
Prices start at $72 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Copenhagen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Copenhagen is not rushed.
Is Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours)?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Copenhagen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Copenhagen and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Copenhagen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Copenhagen?
+
On Outty we rank every Copenhagen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen, Copenhagen Walking Tour: Politically Incorrect Intro, Copenhagen Highlights 3 Hour Bike Tour with local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Copenhagen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Copenhagen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
