Highlights
Outing Highlights
Harbour-side, Open-Air Baths
The experience unfolds at an outdoor wellness area close to Aarhus’ atmospheric marina: warm vildmarksbade and saunas are set beside the water so the experience reads like a coastal ritual whether it’s rain, wind or clear skies.
Private Access, Communal Cold Plunge
Bookings grant exclusive use of your assigned sauna or wild bath (no sharing with other parties); the cold-water plunge is shared among all guests who book into the outdoor wellness area.
Simple Booking and Local Drinks
Surf Agency offers flexible booking with a 50% deposit at reservation and an adjustment window before the event; on-site drinks are provided through a partnership with Hantwerk/Humleland — outside their opening hours only a limited selection is guaranteed.
What the day feels like
What It Feels Like
The event is compact and atmospheric: arrive to an outdoor wellness enclave beside the harbour, change indoors, and cycle between hot plunge pools and wood-heated saunas with access to warm and cold showers. The mood is intentionally communal and relaxed — surf aesthetics and warm light under an open sky make even wet weather feel elemental rather than disruptive.

Planning Your Outing
What is the event length and group size limits?
The event is roughly 1.5 hours long; capacity is minimum 6 and maximum 48 people for the standard setup.
Can we change participant numbers after booking?
Yes — you can adjust the number of participants up to ten days before the event; deposit and final payment are adjusted when the final headcount is confirmed.
How does payment and cancellation work?
A 50% deposit secures the booking; the booking is binding but Surf Agency offers flexibility to find a new date if needed and will work with groups on fair solutions.
Are the baths private?
Yes — your group gets exclusive access to assigned saunas or vildmarksbade; the cold-water bath is shared among all outdoor-wellness guests.
Can we bring our own drinks?
No — bringing personal drinks into the outdoor wellness area is not allowed; drinks are served by partner Hantwerk and billed separately.
What if our event is outside the partner bar’s opening hours?
If your event falls outside Hantwerk’s opening hours the full drink selection cannot be guaranteed; there is usually a smaller selection of chilled drinks on-site but availability is limited.
