Canoe and kayak rental at Bortelid

At the small lake Bortelidtjønna, you can rent one canoe or one of our two kayaks – ideal for a calm and relaxing paddle near the cabin area. For those wanting a longer trip or more open water, Beinsvatn offers three canoes available for use.

One canoe is suitable for 2 adults and 1 small child (up to approx. 10 years old).
When making a reservation, please select the number of canoes you would like to rent — not the number of persons.
Example: choose 1 for one canoe suitable for 2 adults.

Bortelid provide paddles and life jackets, so you'll have everything you need for a safe and enjoyable outing on the water.

Just a 90-minute drive from Kristiansand, Bortelid is a year-round destination in the heart of the Setesdal mountains. In winter, it's a snow-covered haven with one of Southern Norway’s largest ski resorts and 120 km of cross-country trails. Summer transforms the area into a mountain paradise, perfect for fishing, swimming, paddling, and mountain biking on thrilling trails just above the treeline.
