Kayak Republic

Fantastic kayak tour. We were total novices (as in zero kayak experience) but Kasper; our guide, was wonderfully relaxed and made it a great experience. He gave a short but informative safety briefing on land, as well as explained simple techniques but it wasn't long before we were in the water. Admittedly it took a while for us to achieve a basic level of ability in our double kayak but we never felt rushed or embarrassed - perhaps helped by our small group. The tour itself was great, it really is a unique way to observe the city and provided many views you'd only get on the water at that level. Kasper was very knowledgeable and full of interesting facts about the history of the city as well as divulging lots of information about current day Copenhagen. He was talkative and easy going the entire time and made the tour effortlessly enjoyable. There were plenty of opportunities to stop and take a pause while chatting and enjoying the views. The sunset aspect of the tour really was a plus too and we got lucky with some very nice weather and a lovely sunset. Highly recommended 👍

It was a great experience kayaking in the canals of Copenhagen. People are very friendly, and it feels safe in every aspect. Kayak Republic has its kayaks in excellent condition, and all the equipment you may need. It's an activity certainly recommend.

Amazing kayak trip was quite fun to kayak down the water there is an area along the path to get in the water for abit as well but the water is super super cold so… The staff is a little unfriendly but they get the job done so no complaints there

Nice experience for kayaking along Copenhagen canal. The equipments are in good condition, and there’re plenty of restrooms/shower rooms.

Renting a SUP and paddling through the canals was my favourite activity in all of Copenhagen! Attention: if you‘ve never paddled a SUP or kayak before I recommend booking a guided tour!!! This place is not ideal for beginners to try without guidance. If you have prior experience, rental here is perfect! I have a SUP at home in Switzerland so I feel comfortable using it without any help. I arrived at 10:00 in the morning, and paid 195 for 1 hour rental (which is a very fair price btw, as I‘ve rented SUPs all over the world, many of them more expensive, and the SUP here was of great quality!) I changed in the changing rooms and left some things in the free lockers there. Then I got a lifejacket and a small printed out plan of the canals, and in less than 10minutes I was off and on the water with my SUP. I was surprised that they did not help me get on the SUP or gave me some instructions, but was actually happy to save that time and spend more time paddling, but again, if you‘re a complete beginner this is not for you, book a guided tour instead. I paddled the yellow tour on the map they provided, which is marked as 1 hour and took me about 45mins. It was such a great experience! Beautiful canals, so peaceful in the early morning and I even had some morning sun warming my face. People were so friendly and waved from the bridges and other boats. Obviously bigger boats have precendence so I had to be a bit careful not to get in their way, but it‘s mostly tours or small private boats, so they drive rather slow and arent as scary as a big ferry. I took lots of pictures and videos and was so sad I had to give the SUP back after 1hr (because of my flight home). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Please note that I checked the wind forecast before and only had 4mph wind, which is low. This made paddling easier. If it had been a windy day I would have rented a kayak instead. Just one suggestions: you could provide waterproof bags or phone cases that you can wear around your neck for rental. I had to take my leather handbag and carry my phone with no protection, which made me a bit uneasy as there‘s always the possibility of falling in the water. As I was on holiday I did not have my normal kayaking gear with me. Other than that everything is great! I will be back with my family someday!💕

If you are a fan of water activities THIS is something you should really visit! Great for having some fun with your friends and check out some nice places in Copenhagen. Food is really nice but definitely not their strongest side.

The most AMAZING kayak trip this morning, Fri 2/8. We rented a single and double kayak and followed the map provided so we could explore the many canals in Copenhagen. Everything about this trip was brilliant, couldn't have wished for a better adventure.

Went July, 24, 2022 it was cloudy and a bit windy however still super fun. It was my last day and I had done the canal boat tour but wanted to kayak super fun. Should go do it! The woman who helped with very nice and helpful. Would go again!
