Rent a kayak from Nallikari – the best location in Oulu – and set off on a self-guided kayaking adventure through the city's most beautiful sceneries!
Our rental shop is located at the landing site of the Oulu River Delta paddling route, right in front of Nallikari beach, in the heart of seaside Oulu. You'll find us on the ground floor of the Nallikari Aalto hotel (address: Nallikarinranta 10).
In addition, we have a rental container station about a 10-minute walk away, on the shore of Mustasalmi water channel (Vellamontie), where we can hand over kayaks if the wind at the beach is too strong. In that case, you can start your paddling trip directly from the sheltered Mustasalmi channel, which provides quick access to the Oulu River Delta.
Nallikari offers excellent surroundings for kayaking. From our rental shop, you can head either out to sea or into the Oulu River Delta. You can choose a route through the scenic Mustasalmi channel or explore the culturally rich landscape of Toppilansalmi. Set off on your own paddling adventure – alone, with family, or with friends.
During the summer season (June 1–August 31), the rental shop is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (weather permitting). To ensure equipment availability at your preferred time, we recommend booking in advance. Just check the calendar for available times and make a reservation easily!
The kayaks we rent are primarily basic models that are well-suited for beginners. They are easy to handle, stable, and straightforward to paddle. We also offer sea kayaks.
