Plums Kayak Center rents kayaks from Lilla Bommen harbour, on Gothenburg’s waterfront. Hire can be arranged for a quick paddle during a lunch break, an afternoon or a week, giving visitors options from a short outing to a longer stay on the water. Every kayak hire includes a buoyancy aid, spray deck and paddle.

The centre also offers guided city sightseeing tours along the Vallgraven canal. The tours run daily throughout the summer and show Gothenburg from the water. Courses are available for beginners and for more experienced paddlers. They last between two and four hours and are led by highly trained instructors.

A visit can mean a kayak hire, a guided canal tour or an instruction course. The hire choices include a lunch-break paddle, an afternoon or a week, while courses take two to four hours. The centre is in Lilla Bommen harbour, right by the waterfront.
