Private Guided Boat Tour of Copenhagen — See the City at Your Own Pace
Discover Copenhagen from the water on a private boat tour designed around your interests and rhythm. This is a relaxed and personal way to experience the city’s canals, architecture, and waterfront life while enjoying the comfort of your own group onboard.

Step aboard the Joda Tender 710 and meet your captain and guide, Oni, who will steer you through Copenhagen’s scenic waterways while sharing local stories and historical context along the route. Whether you prefer a calm cruise with a drink, a swim stop, or music on board, the tour can be shaped to match your mood.

Your Tour, Your Style
Connect your playlist to the onboard Bluetooth speaker, keep drinks chilled in the cooler, and enjoy a smooth ride through the canals. If you’d like to pause for a swim or visit a beach bar, just let your captain know. The experience is flexible and centered on what you want to do.

We had the most incredible private boat tour through the Copenhagen canals! Being on the water with friends, music, and beautiful views made it such a memorable experience. Our guide was fantastic — genuinely kind, friendly, and made the tour even more enjoyable. We loved seeing the city’s iconic sights from a whole new perspective. A perfect, unforgettable way to experience Copenhagen!

We had a fantastic trip with Oni. He told us all about Copenhagen, saw all of the sites, had some great food at the Reffen stop, and most importantly had a lot of laughs. I would highly recommend booking the three hour trip with him when you are in Copenhagen. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Copenhagen.

This was amazing experience! Very informative, friendly and great guide Oni is! This was one of the highlights of our trip from the U.S. to Denmark and we will always brag about our time during this 4 hour tour. Oni knew all the canals, history of the city and good food at Reffen! Defiantly worth doing and we are glad he could accommodate us when booking the same day!
