After weeks of summer temperatures around 30 degrees, the drop since August 17th feels like an invitation: this is the moment to explore the Maas from the water.
Why this weather is ideal for experiencing nature
The sun is still present, but the heat puts less strain on your body. This gives more room for the nature experience along the way: the sound of rippling water, water birds along the shore, the wild paths, Galloway cattle, and the wide views over the Maas valley stand out even more.
The 13 km route from Smeermaas to Kotem takes you through a special piece of river nature. The area is part of the RiverPark Maasvallei, where the Common Maas flows freely through the landscape. That is precisely what makes a trip with Kajak Maasland different from a classic outing.
Kayaking, canoeing or rafting in nature
Kajak Maasland offers different options for those who want to actively relax:
- Kayaks for 1 and 2 people;
- Canoes for 3 to 4 people;
- Rafting for 6 to 10 people.
Calmer water, richer experience
There is less traffic on the water during these temperatures. The route will feel calmer and physically less demanding than during a heatwave.
During the descent, there is time to watch, listen, and enjoy a holiday feeling on the water.
Plan your day on the Maas
Check the available routes, inquire about group options or book directly via the reservation platform. Kajak Maasland provides equipment, life jackets, and optional bus transport. You only need to bring your company (and possibly a drybag, bag, or barrel), the Maas does the rest.
