I was here with my best friend Anders and we had cathrine as our instructor.
She was 10/10 out of 10. A fantastic instructor. Great views. Great energy and atmosphere throughout the entire course. What more could you ask for?.
It was like I had hoped that it would be.
10/10 in terms of experience and perfect with a view of Aarhus Ø/the harbor.
Although the locker room isn’t the most optimal place to take a shower, there is still the option to get changed and have your valuables stored, as well as 3 hours of free parking, so there’s really nothing to complain about.
I will definitely come back
Cathrine as a teacher can definitely be recommended.
A bit awkward with the fire, which smelled very much of pine trees, small thing.
But overall very recommendable
With lots of really fun games and good instruction before we went out to ski.
Selma was a really good guide. Very personal, sweet and dedicated. She gets our warmest recommendation.
Really cosy with sauna and wood-fired hot tub with great service.
Great saunas, exceptional service and the atmosphere was top-notch!
We received a short, thorough and competent introduction to SUP before we were allowed to paddle off on our own.
They were really sweet and welcoming!
That was the most brilliant experience - first but definitely not the last time on a SUP.
Would totally recommend this place for a company event, super chilled with the wilderness bath and sauna as well ❤️
The sauna was very comfortable, and the atmosphere was calm and impressively clean.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish.
A truly great experience, and I will definitely come back again 🌊🔥
Biggest recommendation from here ☀️🌊🏄♀️
You get everything you could hope for 😀 Lovely saunas with essential oils guided by super staff. During breaks you can get something refreshing and dip yourself in a cold water pool as needed. Super centrally located with a view of Aarhus Ø. Definitely worth a visit. Not the last time I'll be there!
Great service 👏🏽
Thank you for a fantastic team event. Everyone on the team had a great day, now with a backpack full of wonderful experiences together as a team.
Thank you for the 2 lovely employees who were with us on the water, they had planned the day just the way we wanted it. 👌
It was a great experience and the staff were very experienced. The short course was enough to get started.
It was really good to sail along Risskov and relax a bit. However, we both felt some new muscles in our arms when we got home.
Highly recommended
I've been on an intro course with a competent and skilled instructor. It was great fun and got everyone involved
Both times we experienced dedicated trainers who challenged us with great exercises and laughed with and at us while we splashed around in the water;-)
Very big recommendations from here and happy summer to jer☀️
