Adventure

Love the combination of adventure and water? Then unforgettable experiences are just around the corner – from high-speed windsurfing in fresh winds to peaceful paddling through untouched nature and exciting dives into a quiet underwater world. Whether you’re after adrenaline or serenity, there’s something for every adventurer. Here you’ll encounter sparkling lakes, open sea, and hidden gems below the surface.

Windsurfing on Öland is an experience full of freedom and speed. With its shallow beaches and constant breezes, the island is a paradise for both beginners and seasoned surfers. Bödagrund, Haga Park, and Köpingsvik are popular spots where the water sparkles and the wind carries you across the waves. The open horizon offers a sense of infinity, as the sun sets in a sea of color. On Öland, every windsurfing day becomes a memory of energy, nature, and pure joy.

Kayaking in Småland is an adventure, whether you choose calm inland lakes or the coast for sea paddling. Forests, islands, and bays provide constant surprises. You might encounter wildlife, discover hidden beaches, or simply enjoy the silence. The sea adds extra excitement with open waters and changing weather. Every trip becomes a new voyage of discovery.

Småland is known for red cottages and green forests, but it also has an abundance of water hiding incredible treasures. It would be a shame to miss all the beauty literally hidden beneath the Småland surface.

Imagine waking up right in the middle of an adventure – maybe on your own island or in the heart of a safari park. Are you ready to stay in the middle of an adventure?

Stay in a glass treehouse inside Kosta Safari Park! The houses stand on pillars four meters above the ground, offering a stay high up in the air. It’s hard to get closer to nature without giving up comfort. Here you can spot European bison, majestic red deer, the king of the forest – the moose, curious fallow deer, mouflon sheep with their massive horns, and the mischievous wild boars that roam freely in the large enclosed park.

Discover nature-close campgrounds in Småland and on Öland – where peaceful natural idylls await, with forests, lakes, and sea in perfect harmony. Whether you’re seeking the silence of a forest glade, birdsong at dawn, or salty winds along Öland’s coast, there’s space for rest and adventure for both young and old.

Stay on your very own island! In the middle of the beautiful Lake Örken, you’ll find a small island just a few square meters in size. Here, you’ll stay in the Lusthus (pavilion). Relax and listen to the birdsong and the gentle lapping of waves against the stones. With the included canoe, you can explore nearby coves, and in the morning, you’ll experience nature slowly waking with the animals and the light of dawn.
