Kayak certificate - Kayak rental Oslo
You don’t need a licence to kayak here. Some places you need a kayak certificate to rent a kayak. That makes sense if the waves are big, or there are boats and ships passing by. Or far from land. None of that is a problem here. But you must be sober. And you have to wear a flotation device (which is always included). If you are unsure about kayaking, a guided tour is a good alternative.

In the waterproof room in the kayaks, or by the house. We also have deck bags if you need more space.
Spray skirt will increase the risk, if you don’t have kayak experience. Personally, we never use spray skirt on this lake, because it’s no waves or boats here. We´ll rather recommend rain clothes if it’s heavy rain.
Yes. We have many life jackets, from 15 kilos up to 90+. Vest, paddle and map are always included for Kayak rental Oslo.
We have tried 50 different kayaks, and finally found our favorite: Riot Quest 10. You will love it. See pictures at the bottom of this page.
Some people think that it’s necessary to know the eskimo roll to kayak. That’s good to know if you paddle with a tight spray skirt, or paddle during difficult conditions. The conditions here are easy: No waves, no boats. It’s unlikely to tip over. In the unlikely event of tipping over, you will automatically slide out of the kayak. It’s short way to land. Safer conditions for kayaking are hard to find.
Yes, it’s a great place to hike.
