Dive into kayak polo with Trondheim Kajakk—an electrifying sport combining kayaking and handball that welcomes players of all levels. Perfect for groups seeking fast-paced fun on Norway’s scenic waters.
All ages welcome • 1 to 2 hours
Experience the thrill of kayak polo, a dynamic sport combining kayaking and handball. Perfect for all skill levels, participants engage in short, exciting matches that enhance teamwork and strategy. With a focus on fun and skill development, this unique activity promises memorable moments on the water for everyone involved.
Kayak polo is most reminiscent of handball, but is naturally played from a kayak. The game is simple: keep track of the kayak, the paddle, the ball, the opponents and the balance. The kayaks are stable and easy to maneuver. Everything is so simple that we dare to say that: Kayak polo is a sport where everyone can participate.
You should be there 20 minutes before the booked time, and bring swimwear and a towel. We have wetsuits available if needed.
There must be a minimum of 6 participants, and you must bring swimwear, a towel and a good mood.
Our guidelines are very precise. Although it may be tempting to book, for example, 1 hour of kayak polo for 11 or 12 participants, our assessment is that 10 is the maximum and optimal number.
Kayak polo is played on our courts with 3 against 3, in short matches of 10–12 minutes. We recommend that each participant plays at least 3 matches, which gives 35-45 minutes of playing time per participant.
In the first match you learn to handle the kayak, in the second match you begin to understand the tactics, and in the third match you feel comfortable and good at kayak polo.
Kayak polo is an affordable activity compared to other types of events. We therefore recommend not saving time unnecessarily, but ensuring that all participants have a good experience, even if you have a tight schedule.
Our guidelines are carefully designed, and although it may seem tempting to book 1 hour of kayak polo for more than 10 participants, it is our clear recommendation that 10 is the maximum number.
Please note that on our very busy Saturdays, we may have to turn away participants if more than recommended are booked. This is due to the great pressure on our facilities and equipment.
There must be a minimum of 6 participants, and you must bring swimwear, a towel and a good mood.
