Me and my husband enjoyed this 1 h trip. We had a picnic basket with us with some snacks and drinks. Nice to see Odense from another perspective

We were a bit disapointed. We were expecting to be able to See more during the ride, but all you could See were a few very expensive houses and a few H. C. Andersen themes, the rest were hidden away by bushes and trees. Dont get me wrong it was beutifull, but a bit dull. Dont expect to have a full hour ride as promised, because you leave 10 min late from the starter point, and waits 15 min at the last stop, so you basically only sail for 35 min.

Unless you want to rest for an hour and see trees and inhabitations 45€ per person for an hour. You can also rent pedalos.

This is a lovely way to relax and see the views from the river. I suggest doing it in the morning as many of the passengers, including my 3 companions all fell asleep in the warm, gently rocking cruise and missed most of it. It is hard not to doze off if you have been walking all day.

This is a great river experience. It's very laid back and relaxing. There are not any sights as such but the river is just delightful on a nice spring day. There are some HCA surprises along the way to be on the look out for. It was a great way to sit and enjoy the scenery after walking around all day. I highly recommend it. Young children will get a kick out of it. The whole cruise only takes 50 minutes.

An hour long - great to do in the summer - it is just a way of relaxing for an hour and checking out the views - very pretty. Stops at the Zoo if you were wishing to go and would pick you up later and return to your place of origin. It runs every hour on the hour - the last run being at 5.00pm

When the weather is nice this is a perfect way to spend a few hours. Take the boat all the way to the 'Skovsøen' (a small pond) and treat yourself to an icecream at "Frits' vafler". Then either sit and enjoy the scenery at the pond or walk around it (10-15 mins) before you take the boat back again. Or you could also embark at Odense Zoo which also comes highly recommended.

In August i was fortunate to take the river cruise in Odense. I was really glad i did. Slow, beautiful and relaxing the only worry i had was wondering if my camera could capture every scene along the river. Starting at the Afart, purchase a ticket and have an ince cream, snack or coffee at the riverside cafe. remember to go to the bathroom first... you'll be on the boat for 30 minutes one-way. My advice is to only hop-off at the Zoo, or stay on the boat for the trip back. A romantic, scenic trip on clean, dry, covered riverboats. Highly recommended.

The Odense Aafart offers several options for couples or families. Our family took the HC Andersen Fairy Tale Tour on a whim, as part of the visit 3 Andersen sites of Odense (and get a souvenir take-way: one-legged tin soldier). It was a scenic ride along the river and a great way to see a part of Odense that most out-of-towners would never see. Luxury homes along the river, charming parks, and the Odense Zoo - you have the option to get off if you want to explore the zoo. One of the perks of the cruise is that you can bring your own food or beverages - including wine (wish we had)! Other options at the Aafart include paddle boats, or simply grab a bench and enjoy the quaint park. For kids, there are tons of parks, many with Hans Christian Andersen themes to them. Or take a long walk (or run) along the miles and miles of trails that follow the river.

Just took the trip today and my wife and I were disappointed. There are several theme tours such as the HC Andersen fairy tale tour or the Jazz tour. But then there is also the regular tour without any commentary or any other special things. You just sail down the river for 30 minutes and then return the same way for another 30 minutes. Apart from a few nice houses that you pass and a small stretch where the boat passes the Zoo, there is nothing to see. The only nice thing about the river is its nature and that for sure is better enjoyed from a pedal boat where you are closer to the water and where you do not have the engine noise.
