Saltholm
5.200,00 kr.
In the middle of the Øresund between Denmark and Sweden lies the island of Saltholm, with beautiful unspoiled nature and abundant bird life. On this island, large flocks of different birds live all year round, and on the southern part of the island is a large seal reserve. A unique natural experience that is worth a visit.
If you want a trip around Saltholm after your stay, this can be purchased as an extra, and you will have the opportunity to get closer to the seals and the Øresund Bridge
Bring binoculars, practical clothes, your packed lunch and drinks. Remember to take your waste with you when you return from the island. You choose the duration of your stay yourself.
We sail from our base at Refshalevej 340 with good and free parking conditions, and the trip takes approx. 20 minutes each way.
Seal safari
If you want a trip around Saltholm after your stay, this can be purchased as an extra, and you will have the opportunity to get closer to the seals and the Øresund Bridge. Observe the curious seals from a distance. We sail in all kinds of weather, and the waves can occasionally be high, so it might be a good idea to wear clothes that can withstand a little water. Sailing gear and life vests will be provided.
As seals are wild animals, we cannot guarantee that seals will be seen on all tours.
Before and During Tour
To begin with, we have four basic rules:
- All participants must write down their names and signatures on the passenger list. The passenger list is attached to the order confirmation email.
- All participants must wear life jackets (provided by RibAlex.dk before boarding) and follow the crew’s instructions.
- Due to possible fire danger and damage to the pontoons, the use of open fire and smoking on board is strictly prohibited.
- Carrying sharp objects onboard such as rivet belts, stiletto heels, key chains and similar, is strictly prohibited due to possible damage to the pontoons.
During the summer season (1st May to 30th September), we provide all passengers with windbreakers. The rental of thermal suits is possible but must be agreed upon before we depart to the selected departure point via order notes in the checkout process or by directly contacting us by phone or email.
Good Weather: Wear an outdoor jacket which is wind and waterproof, as well as sensible footwear.
Wind and Rain: Bring rainwear as well as sensible footwear.
In heavy rain and strong wind, we can provide safety glasses to all passengers to maintain full visibility as the weather conditions can be troublesome to the eyes.
Long hair should be tied into a ponytail or similar. Remember extra hair bands.
During the winter season (1st October to 30th April), we provide all passengers with thermal survival suits.
Important: Don’t forget to bring your own sweatshirt, hat and gloves.

All of our RIBs have been reviewed and approved for passenger transport by the Danish Maritime Authority. Each boat is approved to carry 12 passengers on board. All of our captains are certified to RIB boat sailing and have also undergone our in-house training. All passengers will be dressed in self-inflatable life jackets and provided with safety instruction before boarding the boat. You can find more about this topic on the Safety on board page on our website.
Age is not an obstacle for safe sailing aboard our RIBs. Though, according to the safety regulations, you must be at least 160cm tall and weigh at least 40kg in order to fit our safety equipment on board.
Very obese passengers may be rejected if they are unable to wear compulsory safety equipment.
We expect the participants to be in good physical shape as the sailing (depending on weather conditions) can be equated with the practice of extreme sports. Pregnant women, participants with physical injuries or disabilities cannot participate in high-speed sailing which is part of most of our tours.
Our captains are responsible for the sailing and therefore have the right to reject drunken passengers as well as very obese passengers who are unable to wear compulsory safety equipment.
Only a limited amount of luggage can be brought on board. Pack light, preferably in lightweight sports bags or smaller backpacks. We cannot guarantee 100% dry storage. Electronics, glasses and other loose items bring on your own risk. Loose items may be blown overboard and should, therefore, be packed in a bag or stored in pockets of jackets or the thermal suits we provide.
Normally you do not get wet from the sailing, but since we are at sea, there is always a chance you might. The air always feels colder at sea and the wind can spray some of the seawater over the boat. Therefore, wear practical and windproof clothing and bring light rainwear (mandatory in rainy weather). In winter we provide thermal survival suits (which are also part of the safety equipment) and in summer we provide you with windbreakers.
Mobile phones, cameras and other electronics are carried at your own risk. There is a chance of them getting wet. RibAlex.dk and CPH Shipping ApS cannot be held responsible for the damages caused during the trip. Leave it on land if necessary.
Beverages may be brought along if agreed upon before boarding the boat. However, they must be carried in plastic bottles or cans. Glass bottles must be left ashore. Beverages must be secured in a suitable bag. Consumption of alcohol on board is prohibited.
All our vessels are approved by the Danish Maritime Authority to carry 12 passengers. Should there be more than 12 participants, we will deploy more vessels at an additional cost.
Most of our tours can be booked online directly in our webshop. Though, online booking can only be booked with 3 days notice. If you wish to sail “Last Minute” or if you desire a custom tour that is not in our webshop, please contact our office at booking@ribalex.dk or +45 2840 6870.
When booking, please state the following:
- Date and time
- Departure and arrival points
- Number of passengers
- Any specific wishes for your tour
The price and duration of the tour can be influenced by the selected departure and arrival points. That is because the initial price and duration are based upon the distance from our base in Refshaleøen. We must spend additional time and fuel to arrive at your desired departure point, the same goes for returning from the selected arrival point to our base. We chose to add up those costs on top of the basic tour cost to keep the prices of our tours down.
Certain ports, such as Tuborg Havn, charge port dues on mooring. The due is charged to the customer.
