Rent a kayak unit with equipment from Oulu's Nallikari and enjoy the city's most beautiful scenery on your own.

Our rental shop is perhaps located in the best spot in Oulu, at the landing site of the paddling routes of River Oulujoki Delta, right at the heart of seaside Oulu, in front of Nallikari beach, on the ground floor at street level of the Aalto hotel building.

Additionally, we have a container rental at Mustasalmi beach, from where we can hand over the kayaks, for example, on windy days. This allows you to start your paddling directly from the sheltered Mustasalmi, from where you can quickly access the River Oulujoki Delta.

For those renting kayaks, Nallikari offers magnificent facilities, as right from our rental shop, you can head out to sea or to the River Oulujoki Delta. To reach this, you can choose your route through the scenic Mustasalmi channel or perhaps through the cultural landscape of Toppilansalmi. Embark on a self-guided paddling adventure alone or perhaps with family or friends.

During the summer season, from June 1 to August 31, our rental is open every day from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (weather permitting). To ensure the availability of equipment at your desired time, we recommend making an advance reservation through our booking system. Just check the calendar for a free slot and make a reservation!

What if the wind surprises you at Nallikari on the day of rental?

No worries! We have a backup plan: You can pick up the kayaks just a few minutes' walk away directly from the beach of Mustasalmi, where one of our rental containers is located. This way, you can start paddling directly from sheltered waters (we will inform you separately if we change the starting point).

Our rental kayak units are mainly Rainbow Oasis basic kayaks, which are especially suitable for beginners. They are easy, stable, and track well. The kayak units are best suited for day trips, but overnight trips are also possible. The kayaks have front and rear hatch covers, 4-point foot supports, and a deck net. Suitable for paddler sizes S-XL.

Other rental kayaks include:

-Rainbow Oasis 4.30 Max Expedition basic kayak, a sister model of the Oasis 4.30 Exp equipped with a larger cockpit, suitable for larger paddlers.

-Dagger Stratos 14.5 L kayak, suitable for M-XL sized paddlers. The Stratos is excellent for surfing or rough water paddling.

-North Shore Aspect RM LV kayak, suitable for paddlers weighing 40-90 kg. The kayak is agile, easy to control, and a seaworthy all-rounder sea kayak. Its storage spaces are sufficient for short day or weekend trips.

When renting, you can choose the kayak model you prefer. The kayak rental includes a paddle, spray deck, and a universal size life jacket.
