Sea Kayak Rental

Sea kayaks for rent - go explore the lush archipelago of southern Sweden

Kayak rental in the Blekinge Archipelago

Experience Sweden’s southernmost archipelago starting from Svalemåla! Our staffed kayak rental is located right on the beach – the perfect starting point for day trips around Tjärö, Eriksberg and the Hällaryd archipelago. Parking is available right next to the water.

Paddle in a unique archipelago

The Hällaryd archipelago offers calm waters, small islands and plenty of great spots for swimming, camping and taking a break. Just 30 minutes of paddling away you’ll find Eriksberg’s suspension bridge – a true highlight. Start east of Tjärö and enjoy a full day in sheltered waters. The restaurant on Tjärö is perfect for a lunch stop.
