Kayak rental on Nes & Helgøya




HELGØYA - Kayak rental and kayak courses on lake Mjøsa
Mjøsa is Norway's largest lake, and is excellent for kayaking!
Infoteket on Helgøya island offers kayak rental, kayaking courses, and kayaking trips for groups of 2 -8 people.
Kayak rental
Kayaks can be pre-booked or rented on the day. We have two different types:
– 1-person kayaks
– 2-person kayaks
Wetsuits and dry-sacks are available at an additional charge.
An introduction course is recommended, but is not a requirement.
Kayaking courses
In May, June and August we offer a 3-hour introduction course as well as a 16-hour basic skills course.
Courses outside of set dates can be arranged for groups of 5 or more. Please contact us for an offer.
Group kayaking trips
Separate kayaking trips, led by an experienced guide, are available for groups of 5-15 people. The trips are suitable for most, but participants must be able to swim. Kayaking experience is not necessary – the guide will take you through the basics before we hit the water.
Kayaking comes highly recommended as a cool and fun activity for private and corporate groups, and there is opportunity to add lunch or similar along the way. Get in touch to arrange a kayaking trip for you and your group.
