No, it is not mandatory. Wearing a life jacket is mandatory — and we provide it. The Semois is a calm river, shallow, and without strong currents. But being comfortable in the water adds greatly to your comfort.
Bring clothes you don't mind getting wet: swimsuit, shorts, 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 participate in family kayak with an adult. Under 6 years: free. We have life jackets from 15 kg and secure child seats.
Of course! This is one of the pleasures of kayaking on the Semois. You can stop on designated sandy beaches for a picnic, swim or simply rest. Remember: pick up your trash — we require zero waste to preserve the river.
Yes, but we strongly recommend booking 3 to 5 days in advance, especially in summer. In high season, we regularly refuse more than 200 people per day due to lack of availability. Booking online guarantees your equipment and your slot.
Absolutely! Kayaking is one of 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.
“I tested 3 different sites for cheap kayaking in Belgium. Kayak Semois is the only one where I paid exactly what was displayed. My 7-year-old son loved it, and we spent less than €50 for the whole family. I recommend without hesitation.”
“I came back 3 times in 2 years. Why? Because it's the only place where I find cheap kayaking in Belgium without compromising on quality. The vest is comfortable, the kayak stable, and the shuttle is always punctual. Excellent value for money.”
“As a student, I was looking for a cheap nature outing. I found it here: €26 for a 7 km descent, all inclusive. I was able to invite my 3 buddies. We had an amazing day, and spent less than a movie ticket. Thanks Kayak Semois!”
