Returning: Kingfisher LIMITED CAPACITY
Limited Capacity seats available

The dazzling kingfisher is usually associated with natural rivers, but this story takes place in a different environment. The Scheldt-Rhine Canal, between the harbours of Antwerp and Rotterdam, provides passage for 70,000 cargo ships every year. So successful is the return of the kingfisher, that they now even inhabit some small creeks bordering one of the busiest canals in the world. Returning shows the life of the kingfishers, as they conquer the challenges of such an unusual environment.
