Kayaking in Belgium

Could anyone give advice about where to go kayaking in Belgium? I will be staying in Brussels, and will not have a car, but of course could go to other areas by train. I%26#39;m not an expert, so if possible, I would much prefer a group tour, as opposed to heading out into unfamiliar waters by myself.

You%26#39;ll have to reconstitute this into one line as Tripadvisor can%26#39;t take long URLs:

There are no group tours from Brussels (except of course for people who make up their own group) but you can buy a B-excursion from Belgian Railways including kayaking in Houyet, which costs €27:

You get the train from Brussels to Houyet (3h from Bruxelles-central changing at Libramont or a bit under 2h changing at Namur and Dinant), kayak from there to Anseremme and take the train back to Brussels from there (same changes).

P.S. Don%26#39;t worry about unfamiliar waters, entire families who have never done it before go kayaking down the Lesse on warm days in summer - you will not be alone.

%26quot;Durbuy Adventure%26quot; specialises in all kinds of outdoor activities. Kayak is one of them.

Durbuy is a very pretty city, the smallest city in Belgium, and nature is at its best there.
