At KAYAKOMAT in Charlottenlund and Hvidovre, you can rent a kayak or SUP and explore Copenhagen from the water.

You book online and pick up your equipment using a code sent to you via email and SMS – read more about rental, pickup, and routes on KAYAKOMAT’s website. From these two departure points, you can experience Copenhagen’s picturesque waterfront from a whole new perspective.
Charlottenlund Fort is set in historic surroundings and offers direct access to the calm, clear waters of the Øresund. It’s the perfect spot for both beginners and experienced paddlers, with gentle coastal routes and stunning natural scenery. After your paddle, you can relax in the fort’s green areas, enjoy a picnic, or explore the historic buildings. Hvidovre Harbour opens the door to Kalveboderne and the inner-city waters of Copenhagen. This route combines peaceful bays with urban energy and offers a unique opportunity to experience both nature and city life from the water – ideal for both locals and tourists.
Both of these departure points and routes are part of the KAYAKOMAT network, which includes over 500 self-service kayak rental stations across Europe. The rental stations are fully automated, open 24/7, and designed with a focus on sustainability – no electricity, no permanent foundations, and zero emissions. This makes it easy, accessible, and flexible to go on an outdoor adventure at your own pace.
