Canoeing & kayaking

Gothenburg is easy to explore from the water – by kayak through the canals, by canoe on a quiet lake or on a paddling trip along the coast and out among rocky islets and skerries. Here you’ll find guides and places for kayaking and canoeing in and around Gothenburg, with tips on rentals, guided tours and excursions for first-time paddlers as well as those with more experience.
