Description
A day trip around Lungön is about 16km. If you are a beginner in the kayak, expect 3-4km/h at a leisurely pace, which means at least 4 hours of effective paddling. Start/finish is easiest at Lungö jetty. Since the outside of Lungön meets the Bothnian Sea, you should check the wind and wave forecast before starting. Along the island's shoreline there are several nice places for a break, including Sundhamnsviken, Boviken or Övre Andholmsviken.
A tip is to visit the island's beautiful lighthouse at Uddhamn (southeast). In that case, go ashore at Gräshamnen and walk 800m to the lighthouse.
Rent a kayak from Hemsö Kajak & MTB.
