Kayak
Are you dreaming of an out-of-the-ordinary kayaking experience? Then Engabrevatnet, also known as Svartisvatnet, is the place for you. Here, at the foot of Norway’s second largest glacier, Svartisen, an adventure awaits that will take your breath away.
Imagine gliding silently over crystal clear water, surrounded by majestic mountains and a glacier reflecting in the surface. Engabrevatnet is a unique arena for kayaking, where you can experience the rawness and beauty of nature up close.
The paddle trip takes you close to Engabreen, one of the mighty arms of Svartisen. You will see ice formations in every conceivable shade of blue, and maybe you are lucky and will experience ice calving and making spectacular sounds. The silence that surrounds you is broken only by the sound of the oars hitting the water and perhaps the occasional drip from the ice.
An experience for all senses
- Sight: The blue colors of the glacier, the snow-capped mountains and the clear water create a visual spectacle you will not soon forget.
