Highlights
  • Filosofgangen - Unique experiences under the green foliage of the tree crowns. Sail off in the old excursion boats or in a pedal boat on the calm waters of the river - accompanied by birdsong and perhaps a lion’s roar from the Odense Zoo, where the Aafarten adds after a sail that takes you along the gardens of Odense’s fine old neighborhoods. You can also sail further and take a trip back in time: explore the Funen landscape as it looked on H.C. Andersen’s time: The Funen Village - or just enjoy life at the forest lake in Mrs. Bøge. Here, the Odenseans have met for more than 100 years - relax, enjoy nature, bring food - and each other…

Relax time - It was a very nice and relaxing tour. Loved seeing the backyards of homes and we even got to see a couple of animals while cruising thru the zoo!

Lovely boat trip on the Odense Å through fantastic nature - Vil was a group of 22 people who had booked a return sailing with a bit of food in the form of sandwiches and beer/water and chips. Everything was ready when we arrived and what was ordered was delivered by a friendly staff. Our sandwiches were fresh and tasty and the beer and water were cold and mouth-watering. We were lucky enough to get our own boat, so we had plenty of space and could walk around a bit and chat with each other. A very pleasant experience and a good start to a birthday party

peaceful meandering - Relaxing, tranquil, nice and shaded allowing for some time out of the sun. Some pretty estates along the river, however not much more to look at other than normal greenery next to a river. Overall, a nice break from walking. The cafe next to boat launch has some great coffee, fresh pressed juice, and nice wine or beer selection for before or after your sailing.

Nice trip - It was a nice trip, we had Germans visiting and here we thought a trip on the river would be a good trip

Relaxing boat tour - The boat trip was very relaxing and slow-paced. Check-in was quick and smooth. We thought there was more to see, but we can still recommend the trip. Our 7-year-old daughter also enjoyed it and for the equivalent of 40 euros for 3 people, it was great.

Relaxing time - We took the Aafort Cruise to Fruens Bøge then walked to Funen Village, reversing the route to return to central Odense. We enjoyed the relaxing stream under the trees and seeing several attractive homes. I am sad to see below that another visitor was not accommodated in English. We most certainly were, both on the outward voyage and the return. Our captain specifically asked if everyone could understand Danish and repeated his Danish announcements for us in English when we indicated we needed help. It was interesting to see that this cruise seems to be popular with locals going to Fruens Bøge. We rode with several groups of parents and grandparents with babies in prams who got out for forest walks and an entire bridal shower loaded up to celebrate in the woods. When I read that similar outings to Fruens Bøge were popular even in Hans Christian Andersen's time, I felt part of the Odense culture.

Nice trip on river - It was a nice trip on with the boat as you can see parts of Odense from different perspective. Definitely something for family’s with kids as you can get from city center to the zoo and back afterwards.

Disappointing - Quite a nice boat trip but not worth the money. Nothing was said or explained. Half an hour there and half an hour back that was it.

An underwhelming experience - The trip in itself was OKish. A bit of cruise on the Odense city river with view on people’s back gardens. 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back. The driver was constantly only speaking in Danish without any English translation. We tried to speak with him and he only spoke back in Danish. Not for Internatiol tourists.
