Join us for the paddling course of a lifetime, which combines fun, laughter and enjoyment! Our courses include that “little extra” to ensure paddling joy and mastery for everyone
This course is suitable for novices or those with some paddling experience who want a review and guidance of various techniques. Everyone who completes the course receives a “wet card” (certification from the Norwegian Paddle Federation).
No previous experience is required, and we will provide a kayak and other equipment necessary to complete the course.
Duration: 2 days
Weekdays from 14:00 to approx. 22:00
Saturday and Sunday from 09:00 to approx. 17.00
Price: NOK 2,600
Our base is at the camping site in idyllic Tranøybotn. The meeting place is at the Hyttekroa restaurant.
The course includes a sea kayaking trip with a lunch break. Bring enough food and drink for lunch and snacks for an active day. We also recommend bring an extra change of clothes. Sea kayaking is a water sport, so you are likely to get wet.
