SEA KAYAK – Rental

Book directly on this page for 1-hour, 2-hour, 3-hour, or full-day slots. All kayak rentals in Norway include a paddle, life jacket, and a safety introduction before you launch on Vangsvatnet. No prior experience required.

We have 8 double, 2 single, and 1 triple top-tier kayaks crafted by Prijon.

In the triple kayak the 3rd person must be a child (shorder than 120cm), who will not paddle. The triple kayak is also perfect for dog owners, since your furry friend can happily sit in the middle, as you paddle forward!

If you're a couple with no prior experience, we highly recommend opting for the double-seater kayak. These offer enhanced stability in the water, ensuring a more comfortable and secure experience for both paddlers.
