What to expect
Expeditions suitable for anyone who wants to practice sports in the wilderness. There is always a way to avoid or bypass difficulties.
Our DiscoveRent guide will be happy to guide you through the day! Whether it's the packraft, the nature you'll be immersed in, the flowers or the animals you'll see, he has more than one trick up his sleeve to amaze you!
We include all the necessary equipment for your initiation day: 1 packraft, paddles, 1 backpack, 1 seat, 1 backrest and 1 airbag.
You will be able to put your water bottle and your personal belongings in the backpack that we will provide you.
What is not included
Once your registration is confirmed, we will send you a complete list of the equipment you need to bring. Here is an overview:
Whether on the Semois, the Lesse or the Ourthe, it is possible to go by train to the nearest station. We will then come and pick you up by car to transfer you to the meeting point.
Once participants have registered, we will create a Whatsapp group to facilitate carpooling between you.
On this expedition we start from the 'Giant's Tomb'. The "Tombeau du Géant" is classified as "exceptional heritage of Wallonia" and "natural heritage of landscape interest". It is undoubtedly one of the best known and most photographed in Belgium with this superb loop of a wild Semois. According to the legend, a giant from Treviso is buried here. He refused to be taken prisoner by the Romans after the battle of the Sambre and preferred to throw himself into the void at the "Gattes rock" rather than die in the Colosseum.
We prefer a group of maximum 10 people for our initiations. This way, our guide can have the time to guide each of you at your own pace.
If you want to do it with a bigger group, don't hesitate to send us an email to see if we can organise an initiation with 2 guides.
If the proposed dates are not convenient for you, do not hesitate to send us an email to see if we can organise an initiation on another day.
Once we have a confirmed group to go on the adventure, we will create a Whatsapp group/email chain to encourage carpooling.
If carpooling is not possible, we can advise you on transport options. Just ask us!
During the 8km walk, you will carry your packraft and paddles in a hiking bag. The whole thing weighs less than 5 kg.
If we judge that the weather is too bad to spend a good time together and/or if the weather does not allow us to carry out the expedition (e.g. drought, floods, stormy weather etc): in this case, we will cancel the expedition and provide you with a voucher to be able to book a new date at no additional cost.
No problem, for any other question, don't hesitate to come and have a look at our super complete FAQ, which you can find here here.
