Yes. Share and tag your pictures using #greenkayak and @greenkayak.ngo. It is part of our concept that you can use a GreenKayak free of charge if you collect waste and share your experience on social media. Keep in mind that you help to influence your friends in a positive direction for the climate and nature. Share it for good karma!
We have not yet seen that people have returned with an empty bucket, but if it happens to you, fantastic.
Check the weather forecast and get dressed so you stay warm. Remember that kayaking is a water sport, so you will probably get a little wet (mostly your pants). If in doubt, bring water proof clothes or a swimsuit.
Yes, it is important that every person in the GreenKayak is able to swim because you paddle on your own without a kayak instructor.
You must be insured because you are fully liable for any harm or damage caused by you or a third party during the period of your GreenKayak trip. Please, read the Terms & Conditions when booking.
You don't need kayaking experience as the kayak is a Sit On Top kayak, and very stable. The kayak is a wide beginner kayak that you do not sit down in, but on top of. Easy.
We have not yet experienced a capsized kayak. If this happens to you, send us a picture and come pick up a beer at our office in Copenhagen! In the unlikely event of capsizing, swim to the shore. There are handles on the sides and in the front of the kayak which you can use as swimming assistance. If you are far from the shore try to climb the kayak again and try to make others aware of you.
A maximum of two people fit and are allowed in a GreenKayak.
We advise you to find a mate to paddle with as the kayak is a little big to manoeuvre on your own. Tat said, it is still possible to paddle by yourself just make sure to sit more centred.
Yes, BUT you must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for you during your trip in the GreenKayak.

Det er en del af vores koncept at man kan bruge en GreenKayak hvis man samler affald og deler sin oplevelse på de sociale medier. Det er ikke noget vi tjekker, men husk at når du gør det, så er du også med til at påvirke dine venner i en positiv retning for klimaet og naturen.
Vi har endnu ikke oplevet at folk er kommet retur med en tom spand, men hvis det sker for dig så er det jo fantastisk.
Tjek vejrudsigten og klæd dig på så du kan holde varmen. Husk at ro kajak er en vandsport, så du bliver sikkert lidt våd.
Ja det er vigtigt fordi du er på egen hånd uden en kajakinstruktør med dig på turen.
Hvis uheldet er ude, og du feks. gør skade på dig selv eller andre så skal du være forsikret.
Du behøver ingen kajakerfaring, da kajakken er en Sit On Top kajak, og meget stabil. Kajakken er en bred begynder kajak, som man ikke sidder nede i, men oven på.
Vi har endnu ikke oplevet at kajakken er kæntret. Hvis det sker for dig så vil vi meget gerne vide det så vi ved hvor vi skal sende præmien her! Men, skulle uheldet alligevel være ude, så er det ikke værre end at du altid kan svømme ind til siden og komme ud af vandet. Hvis du er langt fra land så prøv at kravle op i kajakken igen.
Kan kan sidde max. to personer i kajakken.
Vi vil råde dig til at finde en makker at ro med, da kajakken er lidt stor at manøvrere alene.
Ja, men du skal være sammen med en voksen i kajakken, der kan tage ansvaret.
