Outing Highlights

THE RIVER

Paddling the Leie

Glide along the Leie — celebrated in the trip description as the “golden river” — on a quiet canoe voyage made for two.

THE MOMENT

Aperitif on the Water

Midway through the outing couples receive a carefully composed aperitif package of local snacks and drinks, arranged so you can pause on the water and toast together.

THE SETTING

Intimate, Limited Departures

To preserve privacy and calm, departures are limited: each 30 minutes only one couple embarks, ensuring an uncluttered stretch of river for your two-person voyage.

What the day feels like

What the Love Trip Feels Like

The Love Trip is deliberately pared back: two people in a canoe, steady paddling along the Leie and a pause to enjoy a curated aperitif of local delicacies. With only a single couple leaving per time slot, the flow favors unhurried conversation and shared silence as you float on the river for the three-hour outing.
