    You can book your packraft here.


    Can also be booked together with accommodation in our guesthouse or a camping site or with other activities.


    Follow the link to accommodation booking and add your choice of packraft as an option.


    We also offer guided tours on the river Alsterån. Contact us for more info. 

    Here you have the opportunity to make your way through Sweden's southernmost wilderness and discover water where you usually don't set foot or paddle.


    In our Packrafts you can cross and between waterways without any problems, regardless of whether you are hiking or cycling.


    We are happy to arrange a guided tour on the Alsterån. The route can vary depending on the season, water level, accessibility and what kind of tour is suitable for the moment and for your group.


    In the case of an organized tour, we are happy to combine it with hiking, on your own or with a guide.

    Your packrafts can then be delivered to the arrival point so that you hike one way and then paddle back.

      A packraft is a light and inflatable boat, similar in shape to a kayak and weighing about 2 - 4.5 kg.


      They are particularly suitable if you combine hiking or cycling with paddling.


      There are no requirements for prior knowledge and are therefore particularly good for those of you who want to try a new way of creating adventure.


      Preparing a packraft takes about 10 minutes to inflate and unpack, after which you take a seat and start paddling.


      Your equipment can be attached to the front of the packraft. It is easy to get in and out of a packraft and the low weight makes carrying your raft or wading a breeze.


      When getting in and out of the packraft you will get wet so a dry change is recommended.


      We also arrange guided tours, please contact us if you are interested.

      This is how your rent


      You rent our packrafts in a packed format. Delivered in a soft bag that can be used as a backpack for shorter hikes or strapped to a bike or hiking backpack.


      Equipment is provided by us at Vidinge Gård according to agreement with a short introduction.


      Boat, paddle, life jacket, repair kit and swimming shoes are included.


      Anyone who wants it will receive suggestions for places and routes that suit your level and ambition.


      Return of material takes place at Vidinge Gård, unless otherwise agreed.


      You return the material in the same condition as you received it.

      Info & good to know


      • Suitable shoes for hiking (hiking boots should not be used in the Packraft itself)
      • Possibly backpack that can accommodate the Packraft. It is common to attach the paddle to the outside, and have the boat inside or strapped to the backpack.
      • A dry change of clothes.
      • Suitable clothing for the weather. Sliding in a Packraft on a summer day in just swimming trunks/bikini is a perfect opportunity to soak up the sun. (Remember sunscreen!)
      • Filled water bottle
      • If possible, no loose objects in the raft. Everything strapped with a strap in a bag in the bow makes the trip worry-free even if you have to carry or lift your raft.
      • You raft at your own risk. A Packraft is very durable, but anything that is inflatable can break.
      • You are responsible for having sufficient knowledge for the conditions and water you intend to explore.


      Lost, stolen, damaged or “accident”


      Despite their low weight, the packrafts are very durable even with normal bottom contact.Especially when wet, the material is extremely durable in relation to its weight.


      Of course, you should exercise normal caution and not bring sharp objects with you, drive into sharp branches, or drag the raft with your entire weight towards the bottom.It is part of the fact that, in shallow water, in some places you have to make a change or wade a bit with the raft in tow. When changing, you should be aware of dry sharp branches.


      With ordinary common sense and caution, the risk of the packraft being damaged is minimal.But an accident can of course happen.


      The person renting the equipment is responsible for ensuring that it is returned in the same condition as when it was handed over. The equipment must be received and checked by staff from Vidinge Gård upon return unless otherwise agreed.


      In the event of damaged equipment, the cost of repair (500 SEK/hour) plus any parts will be charged. Equipment that is lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair will be charged at the recommended price minus 15%.


      Above all, if something has happened to the equipment, always inform us when returning it.
