Rent kayaks and explore the waters around Askersund or the archipelago of Vättern where you can criss-cross among the beautiful islands. Kayaking gives you a wonderful feeling of being united with the water. You can start paddling directly from Askersund. A nice stop is the castle of Stjernsund where you can stop for coffee or lunch. From here you can continue towards Kärraviken in Åmmeberg, or make a tour under the magnificent bridge over Stora Hammarsundet.
It is also nice to take the kayaks to Hjälmaren next to Örebro, or to Tisaren and Sottern in Hallsberg area.
Our kayaks
Our Seabird Expedition are safe and stable kayaks if you are a beginner but they are still fun and nice to paddle, also for the more experienced ones. There is plenty of space for all your gear if you want to go on an overnight adventure. Seabird Expedition is a sea-kayak and is best used on lakes. For paddling on rivers we recommend our packrafts or inflatable canoe.
We have two Seabird Expedition for rent. Paddle and life west is included and we are happy to give recommendations for your tour and show how to find our favourite places. If you are going on an overnight adventure we also rent tents, sleeping bags, kitchen gear and other things you might need for your tour.
We can really recommend that you go and explore the archipelago of Vättern. See map of Lake Vättern archipelago
If you are on a day trip and are aiming for the archipelago we recommend that you start a bit further south and we can deliver the kayaks to either Olshammar or Bastedalen for an extra fee. If you are out on an overnigh trip you can easily start from Askersund.

Rent kayaks in Hallsberg
Except Lake Vättern there are also many other beautiful lakes in the area, all of them offering nice kayaking and great opportunities to overnight on an island. Both Tisaren and Sottern in the municipality of Hallsberg offers great paddling opportunities with a nice mixture of open water and areas with plenty of islands.
Rent kayaks in Örebro
Hjälmaren next to Örebro is also good for paddling and we can deliver the kayaks there for a small cost. Start in River Svartån next to Naturens Hus restaurant and continue towards Hjälmaren. A nice overnight tour is to paddle to the beautiful nature reserve Björkön.
If you are mainly paddling along River Svartån we recommend canoe or packrafts instead since they are easier to lift.
