Pack your SUP, hop on your bike and explore Copenhagen in a new and different way.
Paddle boarding in Copenhagen has become easier and more accessible than ever before. For example, put your SUP board in the water at Hall C, at Christianshavn, and paddle out around Pirat Øen and the agesold ramparts from christian ix's time. You will be greeted by a scenic area filled with stories from a bygone era. Right now you also have the opportunity to experience "Pirate Island" before it disappears. An inflatable SUP board makes you mobile and makes sure you can slowly and safely glide past the many shipwrecks. Besides being both fun and exciting, paddleboarding is also a sensible outdoor activity in this different corona time. With fresh sea air, new inspiration and good distance, you can stay in shape.
Paddle surf at the opera
There are hidden treasures throughout Copenhagen harbour, explore them on your stand up paddleboard.
Paddle boarder you further out, you will pass one of Copenhagen's major attractions – the opera. It is particularly nice from the water and on a paddle board you can easily experience it from a 360 degree perspective. Beware of the canal boats, the harbour buses and others travelling at sea – there is a lot of traffic on the outside of the Opera.
Paddle & Pints Kontikibar
Behind the opera there is a special place, with tasteful refreshments and beautiful visibility – perfect for a paddle boarder.
There's hardly a better way to end his SUP session than an icy surfer beer at Kontiki Bar. The old ship is waiting for you right behind the Opera. Add your paddleboard to the railing and hop on board, here you can buy delicious draught beers and exotic drinks while enjoying one of the city's most beautiful sunsets. Once the worst thirst is quenched, grab your surfboard and SUP surf back towards Hall C, but watch your balance! The ship's IPA can knock its legs away under even the strongest sailor, especially if you get a few inside..
