GreenKayak Odense
Get out on the water in a GreenKayak for free and make a difference along the way. The concept combines a kayaking trip with a hands-on contribution to cleaner waterways: you borrow the kayak free of charge and, in return, collect litter from the water during your trip. The kayaks come with all the equipment you need, so you can get started straight away.
Free kayaking while helping the environment
GreenKayak is based on a simple idea: making it easy to spend time outdoors while doing something positive for the environment. You can borrow one of the distinctive green kayaks in return for collecting litter from the water as you paddle.
The kayak comes equipped with a bucket and litter picker, making it easy to collect anything you come across along the way. After your trip, everything you have collected is weighed and recorded as part of GreenKayak’s overall efforts.
A trip in a GreenKayak gives you the chance to experience Odense from the water while helping to keep the area clean.
GreenKayak – kayaking with a purpose
GreenKayak was founded in 2017 with the aim of getting more people involved in keeping harbours, rivers and other waterways clean. Since then, the concept has spread to numerous locations, where volunteer kayakers help remove litter from the water.
There is no charge for borrowing a GreenKayak, but as part of the concept you are asked to share your experience on social media using the hashtag #GreenKayak. This way, each kayaking trip also helps raise awareness of litter in our waterways.
In Odense, GreenKayak is a seasonal activity and is available from 1 May to 30 September. Kayaks must be booked in advance to make sure one is available when you want to get out on the water.
