Explore the wooded and hilly Ardennes from the water. With your kayak you boat independently, at your own pace, on the beautiful river Ourthe.

Ideal for families and friends

Kayaking on the Ourthe is ideal for families with young children. In the 2-person boats, the adult can sit in the back and the child in the front. Our kayaks are also perfect for groups of friends and families who want to explore the Ardennes from the water during a weekend.

Paddle independently along the Ourthe River

If the water level permits, kayaking trips start in La Roche-en-Ardenne. Brandsport gives a clear explanation at the start and you get a barrel, which is watertight if you turn the lid straight up yourself, and a life jacket if you wish. This is included in the price.

You sail independently, but because of the explanation beforehand, you know exactly what to pay attention to. This way you can safely experience a beautiful kayak trip on the river Ourthe. Along the way you will encounter many highlights: a huge rock face, rapids, the old town of La Roche-en-Ardenne, too many to mention.

Afterwards, Brandsport arranges transportation back to the starting point. Kayaking is easy to combine with other activities.

Read our kayaking blog to get in the mood in advance.

Advantages of booking: you avoid all kayaks being gone, save time and have more choice.
