You can join a guided kayaking excursion on the beautiful lake of Langvatnet. Helgeland Kajakk also offers kayak rental and courses designed to help you master good techniques and enjoy safe kayaking adventures

Langvatnet is a beautiful green lake. It is filled with meltwater from the Svartisen glacier, carried into the lake by the Glomåga river. The river delta and lake are known for their rich birdlife. Much of the lake is shallow and it has several nice sandy beaches.

On our journey you can see in the distance the dazzling snow and ice of Svartisen, the second-largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland.

It’s good to stretch our legs, so we’ll go ashore and enjoy the food and drink we brought.

You rent all the equipment you need from us or bring your own. And you don’t need prior kayaking experience. Our expert guides will instruct you in safety guidelines and proper kayaking techniques, and keep you safe throughout the day’s adventures.

Our three-hour kayaking excursion on Langvatnet is offered from May, when the lake ice melts, until late autumn. You are welcome to bring children who are at least 12 years old.
