Larvik is home to the Padleled Vestfold, a network of 91 marked routes that cater to both beginners and experts. You can choose to navigate the sheltered straits around Sandefjord and Tønsberg or challenge yourself in the more exposed waters near Larvik and Stavern.

Ways to get on the water:

• Larvik Padleklubb: A local community club that organizes activities, safety courses (våttkort), and even pool training during the winter at Farrishallen.

• Paddle Trails & Huts: Explore the “Padleled” and spend the night in dedicated “Padlehuker”—simple, free shelters located at spots like Ølbergholmen and Kjeholmen.

• Rentals & Courses: If you don’t have your own gear, Stavernopplevelser and Kajakkbox offer easy rentals. For those wanting to learn, GAMME Ski & Kajakk and Kajakkpadling.no provide guided tours and certification courses throughout the year.

• River Kayaking: For a different perspective, many enjoy kayaking in the Lågen river, particularly around the scenic Kjærra Waterfalls Park.
