Bring clothes that you don't mind getting wet: swimsuit, shorts, a quick-dry t-shirt. Closed shoes (Crocs type sandals) are ideal. Don't forget a water bottle, sunscreen and a waterproof bag for your belongings.
Yes! Children from 6 years old can join a family kayak with an adult. Under 6 years: free. We have life jackets from 15 kg and secure child seats.
Of course! It is one of the pleasures of kayaking on the Semois. You can stop on designated sandy beaches for a picnic, a swim or simply a rest. Remember: take your trash with you, because we require zero waste to preserve the river.
Yes, but we strongly recommend booking 3 to 5 days ahead, especially in summer. In high season we regularly turn away more than 200 people per day, for lack of availability. Booking online secures your equipment and your slot.
Absolutely! Kayaking is among the most sustainable sports. At Kayak Semois we use eco-friendly cleaning products, sort our waste and encourage soft transport. Your adventure leaves a negligible carbon footprint.
