From the water, the world looks surprisingly different and you immediately experience a kind of calmness through the rippling of the water. Let yourself be enchanted while you float around on the water or sail around the beaver castles. You might see an osprey flying by or a beaver diving away. Paddle to the island or further on to a nice bivouac and make it an adventurous overnight stay with your own sleeping gear or our hammocks (for rent). Of course, you can also fish from the boat, catch the tastiest trout for the BBQ.

We have 5 Canadian canoes and 5 rowing boats that you can rent for 1 hour, 4 hours or a whole day. A Canadian canoe is easiest to navigate with 2 paddlers. A canoe can fit 2 people and possibly a small passenger on the bottom. A rowing boat can fit 1 paddler, plus 2 adult passengers, or 1 adult and 2 child passengers.

Starting point: The rowing boats are located at the boat dock behind the toilet building. The canoes are located on the beach. When returning, please place the canoes upside down on the side of the beach so that no rainwater can get in.
Life jackets: Wearing a life jacket is mandatory in Norway, and you will receive one when you rent a boat.

Do you really want the ultimate fishing and sailing experience? Then join the RAFT raft trip! This unique raft trip has been new on the program since 2024.

'RAFT raft trip with fishing and BBQ'
Sail with this raft over the Otra to the best fishing spots. From the raft you can easily and comfortably cast your rod. There are several rods available that you can use. The skipper can teach you all the tricks of the trade, from casting your rod to taking the fish off the hook and cleaning it. And don't be afraid, if you don't want/dare to clean the fish yourself, the skipper will do it for you.
When enough fish have been caught and everyone has become hungry, the BBQ will be turned on and you can grill your own caught fish. How fun and tasty is that?! The meal is supplemented with fried potatoes and salad, grown locally as much as possible. Tasty and sustainable.
After the BBQ on the raft, you will be dropped off at the campsite again.
