There are quite many routes and spot to visit in Skjoldungernes land nationalpark. It’s always possible to find shelter from either east or west winds. If the wind is coming from the north, you should be a bit more cautious than in most other places in the fjord. Kattinge Vig is also a great spot for a kayak trip. There’s good shelter in most areas and lovely places to land. The wind usually determines where it’s best to paddle. Our instructors are always ready with helpful advice and recommendations
Weather plays a significant role in your kayaking experience. If the wind exceeds 7 m/s, we do not rent out our kayaks unless you are an experienced IPP3 kayaker. If you’ve booked a rental and the wind is too strong on the day, your reservation will be canceled for your safety, and there will be no cost to you. If you’re unsure, feel free to give us a call at 53 89 05 85
All seasons are suitable for kayaking. However, it requires preparation and experience if you want to kayak year-round. In general, the water should be at least 12 degrees Celsius if you’re going kayaking without wearing a lot of gear. If the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, you should only go if you’re experienced and have the right equipment. As with any water activity, good preparation and the right gear are essential. That said, fantastic experiences await in Nationalpark Skjoldungernes Land throughout all seasons. We only rent kayaks between April 15th and September 15th
Bring your own suitable equipment, if you have it, and wear clothing that allows you to move freely. Also, consider bringing a change of clothes, as you might need it. If you’re renting a wetsuit, wear swimwear underneath, and it’s a good idea to have a towel handy as well
