Kajaktiv is a full-service paddling centre in Dala-Floda on Västerdalälven in Dalarna. Since 1995 they have rented canoe, kayak, SUP and packraft and run courses and guided tours in Dalarna's mountain-lake and river country.
What they offer
The range runs from rental of open canoes, kayak, SUP and packraft to whitewater courses, packraft expeditions and family paddling. Västerdalälven offers both slow-moving stretches and livelier water, and the centre has accommodation if you want to stay longer.
Good to know
The river's water level and current change with snowmelt and rain – whitewater paddling needs the right experience and kit. Follow the centre's advice, pick a stretch that matches your ability, and always wear a life jacket.
