About the area

Helgeland is an outstanding kayak destination, as you will find yourself navigating amongst the maze of sheltered flat islands, surrounded by high mountains. You will visit small picturesque fishing villages and experience wild nature with a rich bird life.

About the Kayak centre

Havnomadens Kayak Centre is an old wooden building renovated on the foundations of an old wharf and converted into a bunkhouse for kayakers. Decorating the place, artistic details and genuine atmosphere creates a unique vibe in the centre. The place is practically organised for kayakers and contains seven comfortable rooms and a well equipped joint kitchen area. There is a shop with kayaks for rent, equipment and dry tidy facility. The pub is a popular meeting place for kayakers and the locals.
