With Helgeland Kayak you can go on guided tours, attend courses or rent a kayak and go out on your own. If you prefer to stay ashore, you can join a guided hike in the mountains. Helgeland Kayak is based in Mo i Rana and on the island of Tomma outside Nesna.

With a kayak along the Helgeland coast, you get nature experiences you will soon forget. You can paddle between small islands and islets, land on chalk-white beaches and enjoy the sound of a bustling bird life. Starting from Tomma outside Nesna, you have great opportunities to paddle with the sea eagle sailing in the air above you.

The area offers great variety and challenge whether you are a beginner or an experienced paddler. You can paddle in sheltered waters or feel the forces of the ocean. Why not enjoy the sunset to the sound of crashing waves and the scent of salt water?

Guided trips from Mo i Rana

You are invited to join Helgeland Kayak on a guided excursion near Mo i Rana, where you’ll get to go kayaking on the green glacial waters of Langvatnet lake or on the idyllic Raudvatnet lake.

The special colour of the lake is due to the meltwater from Svartisen glacier, which flows into the Glomåga river, and its delta feeds into the lake. Here is rich birdlife. In places the lake is shallow, the floor of the lake is sandy and it actually has several fine sandy beaches. On our excursion you will see the dazzling ice of Svartisen, the second-largest glacier on the Norwegian mainland, in the distance. At some point we’ll go ashore to stretch our legs and enjoy the food and drink that we’ve brought.

You are free to use your own kayak and equipment, or you can rent what you need. No prior experience is necessary – and you are welcome to bring children who are at least 12 years of age. The guides will provide instruction in both safety and technique, and they will make sure all participants have a safe adventure.

More info about courses and registration

This excursion, which is offered from when the lake ice melts in May and until the autumn, lasts for about three hours. By the way, Langvatnet lake is on the way to another spectacular attraction, the natural marble formations called Marmorslottet (the marble castle).

The place where we start our excursion is only a 15-minute drive from the town centre of Mo i Rana.

  • The temperature in the water is low most of the year, and we recommend that you think about safety when paddling a kayak. Most people choose to paddle in a dry suit or wetsuit.
  • The west side of Tomma is popular for fricampers. There are no adapted campsites, so remember and clean up after yourself.
  • At the convenience store at Tomma, you can buy the food you need.
