Day Trips

If you either live in the area or is staying close by and look for a daytrip on the canal, have a look at our overview over daytrips. These are normally composed of one stretch by boat and the opposite by bus, so that you end up where you started.

We have full day trips, half day trips and short trips. There are also two daytrips that are round trips only by boat. Starting points are Skien, Ulefoss, Akkerhaugen, Kviteseid or Dalen.

Please mark: Bikes, canoes or kayaks must be reserved together with booking of tickets.

Overnight Trips

Are you searching for a trip on the canal with an overnight stay, have a look at our overview of overnight trips. These include one of the following accommodation providers: Thon Hotel Høyers Skien, Lunde Vandrerhjem, Norsjø Hotell Akkerhaugen, Straand Hotel Vrådal or Dalen Hotel.

Overnight trips use Skien, Ulefoss or Lunde as starting point.

If you cannot find a package that suits your needs, please contact us and we’ll try to help you tailor what you’re looking for.

Active:

If you are activity driven and intend to bring you own bicycle, kayak or canoe, that is fine by us.

We already have two packages for bike riders, including accommodation in hotels or hostels, but many also choose to create their own routes.

We do not have any packages for paddlers – you must consider skills, time at disposal and level of fitness yourself.
