SUP – Stand Up Paddleboarding

The stability of a SUP board makes it just as easy to SUP on a breezy day at sea as in any of Halmstad’s rivers on windless days. You do not need any special prior knowledge, as SUP is suitable for most people, large or small, beginners or pros. It’s also excellent exercise. While enjoying nature and your adventure on the water, you get strength, mobility and balance training, almost without even noticing that you’re putting in the effort.

Glide down the river

Take your friends on an relaxing adventure along the Nissan River.

The Nissan River

For a slightly calmer ride, there’s the Nissan River. It is a perfect option for those who want to try SUP for the first time or just want an outing in close proximity to the city. Stop somewhere to replenish your energy reserves. Söderfamiljen Restaurant is easily accessible and a perfect paddling distance. You can even book a champagne tour along the Nissan River (swe).

SUP in the sea

Would you rather embark on an adventure at sea? Face the waves and challenge your balance even further? There are several beautiful routes to choose from, and no matter where you opt to paddle, Halmstad’s coast offers fantastic nature experiences.

One great option is an evening trip to the Tylön Nature Reserve for a picnic overlooking Tylösand’s long, sandy beach before the sun goes down. Just make sure that you are permitted to paddle ashore – Tylön is home to sensitive bird life and most of the island is off-limits to visitors from April to mid-July.
