KAYAK RENTAL

OUR KAYAKS

All kayaks at our rental station in Dalsland are suitable for beginners and will provide great handling and speed even for experienced paddlers. We have chosen only the best boats available in PE-plastic material. All boats are equipped with a retractable rudder, that is easy to operate, even if this is your first paddling experience. Seats and footrest are adjustable to fit people between 140 and 195 cm. The boats are safe and stable. They will float even with fully packed equipment in an capsizing event.

K1 – Single Kayak

Our single kayak is the Prijon Touryak 500, a spacious touring kayak made from tough PE plastic. It is very stable on the water and still easy to paddle. The large cockpit stays comfortable even for tall paddlers on long days. Two watertight compartments hold around 190 litres in total, plus a small day hatch for things you want within reach. That is more than twice the capacity of a large hiking backpack.

The compartments are watertight, but we recommend dry bags for sensitive items such as electronics or down sleeping bags. The hatches measure about 30 x 40 cm, so a large trekking backpack will not fit through. Pack your gear in smaller dry bags instead.

  • Rudder, adjustable seat and footrests
  • Dimensions: 503 x 63 cm
  • Load capacity: 160 kg (manufacturer’s rating)
  • Storage: approx. 190 litres in two watertight compartments, plus day hatch

K2 – Tandem Kayak

Double Kayak Rental Dalsland

Our tandem kayak is the Boreal Design Esperanto. It is a touring double like no other, and we love this model. It is fast, very stable and easier to handle in wind than both single kayaks and canoes. The two cockpits are set well apart, so your paddles won’t clash even if you don’t paddle in sync.

The front and rear compartments are watertight, but we recommend dry bags for sensitive items such as electronics or down sleeping bags. The middle compartment is open to the rear seat. For this, we recommend our waterproof 35-litre dry bags.

  • Rudder, adjustable seats
  • Dimensions: 591 x 69 cm
  • Load capacity: 218 kg (manufacturer’s rating)
  • Storage: approx. 150–180 litres in two watertight compartments, plus middle compartment

CANOE RENTAL

OUR CANOES

Our rental canoes come in two sizes: the Lettmann Trapper 490 as our standard model and the Lettmann Trapper 518 for longer trips or when paddling as three with gear. Both models have 3 seats and can be booked for two or three people. The Trappers are built from tough PE sandwich with a foam core, which makes them unsinkable. Compared to the aluminium canoes usually rented out in Sweden, they glide almost silently and feel very stable on the water. At our rental station in Dalsland you get an introduction to paddling technique (on land), and we help you plan your trip.

C2/C3 – Standard Canoe

Our standard-size canoe is the Lettmann Trapper 490. It is easy to paddle and very stable, and its long waterline keeps it tracking straight. It has 3 seats, but you can also book it as a two-person canoe. For two people it is big enough even for trips of a week or more. For three people we recommend it for day trips and short tours with little gear.

  • Available for 2 or 3 people
  • Dimensions: 490 x 96 cm
  • Load capacity: 360 kg (manufacturer’s rating)
  • Storage: approx. 250 litres
  • PE sandwich with foam core, unsinkable
  • Comfortable webbed seats
  • High stability, ideal for families and beginners

C2/C3 big – Large Canoe

Our large canoe is the Lettmann Trapper 518. Its length, width and high sides give plenty of room for gear, and it stays stable even when fully loaded. We recommend it for two people with a lot of gear, or for three people on a multi-day trip.

  • Available for 2 or 3 people
  • Dimensions: 518 x 97 cm
  • Load capacity: 400 kg (manufacturer’s rating)
  • Storage: approx. 350–400 litres with three people
  • PE sandwich with foam core, unsinkable
  • Comfortable webbed seats
  • Tracks well thanks to its long waterline
