Kayak or canoe trip
A quiet river or canal, a paddle in each hand, and realising for the first time that water is a completely different world.

Canoeing or kayaking doesn't need to be spectacular to be unforgettable. A quiet river or canal is perfect — no white water, no technical skill required. Many rental points in Belgium and the Netherlands offer a drop-off service: you paddle downstream for an hour or two and they pick you up.
For kids it's the combination of freedom and challenge that makes it special. They're in control. They help steer. They have to work together. Along the way you see the world from an angle you can never reach on foot: water birds at arm's length, reed beds, silent bends in the river.
Great for children from six or seven upwards. Younger children sit in the front as passengers. Bring or hire life jackets — most rental points provide them — and book ahead on warm weekends.
