Contrary to other published opinions, we were very well received, the team is very friendly and the kayak rental is cheaper here than elsewhere. We recommend Kayak Ardenne!

We stayed 1 night in a tent and did the 11km kayak descent. Helpful and super friendly staff. Perfect organization for arrival on the Semois and reception after the descent. Thanks for everything!

We were able to enjoy this day thanks to the lady at the kayak bar! Without knowing it, we hadn't booked. She found a last minute solution! Top thanks again! Thanks to her and also to the drivers who brought us back.

Magnificent canoe descent (17km), the service is very good, we wait little even at arrival thanks to the driver and his wife who willingly answer our questions and calls. In addition, the small cafe with terrace is very pleasant. The night at the campsite was perfect.
