During the trip, we see the Belgian naval base, the gas terminal and the wind turbines on the dam. You will also get to see the island of terns (with its thousands of seabirds) and one of the largest sea locks in the world. The tour with audio-visual guide (75 min) will give you a completely different view of a world port. This is a boat to remember.
