Boat trips, kayak trips and canoe rental

Halnekongen

Take a boat into Hardangervidda National Park

With Halnekongen as transport, you get access to many great hikes into the national park, but it is also possible to use the boat as a wonderful tour of the national park. The boat offers a ride from Halne Fjellstugu located at Rv7, to the stops Skaupa and Sleipa. The popular boat route has been in operation since 1954, when the dam at Sleipa was built. Also feel free to visit Halne Fjellstugu, which can tell you about great hiking trips starting at Halnekongen, or for a lovely lunch!

Kayaking on Finse

Experience paddling in "Arctic waters"!

Paddling at Finse must be the closest one can come to paddling in "arctic waters" with a magical view over the mountains and glaciers. Kayaking at the Finsevann lake takes place in steady, double kayaks, with a focus on security and learning. The guides on the tour will tell you the exciting story of the area from the stone age hunting culture, settlements, and the importance of the wild reindeer, to the building of the Bergen rail line. You will also hear more about Finse as a testing and training area for polar expeditions from the past and present. 

Canoe rental

Rent a canoe at Geilo and Ustaoset!

Geilo Aktiv and Hol Turlag offer canoe and boat rental centrally in Geilo. In total, there are 5 canoes and 1 boat for rent. Hol Turlag own 4 of the canoes, and is located at the Veslefjorden. The canoe, "Freya," belonging to Geilo Aktiv, is placed at Geilo Beach—where you can take a paddle trip on the Ustedalsfjorden lake. The boats have room for 3 people, alternatively 2 adults and 2 small children. A great family activity.. maybe you can also see tracks from some of the beavers that live along the lake edge?
