Sea Kayak Rental
Sea kayaks for rent - go explore the lush archipelago of southern Sweden
Welcome to visit and stay here in Svalemåla and make a reservation for our kayaks.
Blekinge archipelago is the closest and the southernmost Swedish archipelago you can find when you cross the bridge from the European mainland between Denmark and Sweden. The location of our holiday village and the kayak rental site, is ideal for quickly getting out in the inner or outer archipelago for a daytrip both eastward toward the archipelago of Ronneby and west towards Hällaryds and Karlshamns archipelago.
Rent both a kayak and camping equipment and explore the islands and skerries. Choose your own perfect island, put up your tent next to the beach and enjoy your own cooked meal while watching the sunset. Camping in the wild is permitted almost anywhere here.
