Discover Myrland

Myrland has a self-service kayak and SUP board rental service, as well as a cultural environment with preserved boathouses. This gives you two specific points of interest to consider when planning your trip: an activity on the water and local cultural heritage. If you’re looking for hotels in Myrland, these themes can help you choose a place that suits your interests.

Kayak and SUP Rental in Myrland

KAYAKOMAT Lofoten, Raftsundet, offers self-service kayak and SUP board rentals in Myrland. The rental service is available around the clock; a paddle and life jacket are included. This provides specific details about how the service works and some of the equipment included. If you’d like to include kayaking or SUP in your trip plans, you can make the rental service a separate item on your itinerary.

Boathouses as Cultural Heritage

Three boathouses have been preserved in Myrland’s cultural environment, two of them with stone walls. The area therefore has a clearly defined collection of built cultural heritage, which stands as a separate point of interest alongside the rental service. The buildings offer a specific architectural point of reference if you’d like to explore Myrland not only for its water sports, but also for its cultural heritage.
