About Odense Aafart

We have been travelling up Odense's beautiful and adventurous river since 1882, offering many idyllic experiences on Odense Å. We have gone from transporting ‘the rich and famous’ from Munke Mose to Fruens Bøge to being an adventurous experience for all age groups. Today, we embrace everything from family Sunday trips on the river, wine tasting and music events to adventurous boat trips with H.C. Andersen as narrator. With us, you can enjoy the beautiful nature and cosy company while sailing on a tour boat, rowing a canoe or riding a pedal boat.

Our mission is to create unforgettable experiences and events on and around Odense Å. It's important for us to innovate and organise events together with our partners that benefit you. We want you to feel a warm welcome, and we do our best to make sure you have a good and unforgettable experience.
