I went rafting for the first time this time, and it was really fun! The instructor was so lively that I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Next, I want to experience the spring course by late April or mid-May.今回初めてラフティングをしましたが
本当に楽しかったですヽ(*´▽)ノ♪
インストラクターさんのノリが良すぎて
終始笑いが止まりませんでした
次は4月下旬か5月中旬までに
春コースを体験したいです( ´∀｀)

Not only can you float down the river, but in the calmer areas, you can also get in the water and enjoy various activities, making it a fulfilling experience. I think it's too cheap for this price! You should definitely try it at least once.ただ川を下るだけではなく、流れの穏やかな場所では、川に入ったり、色々な遊びのメニューがあり、充実してます。
この値段では安すぎる！と思います。
一度体験すべきです。

It was my first time rafting, and I had a great time! The time flew by, and I wanted to play more.

I was also happy to be able to take powerful photos and videos up close while playing with the boat and kayaking!

The instructors were cheerful and made it fun. I would definitely like to do it again if I have the chance!初めてのラフティングでしたが、凄く楽しめましたー！時間があっという間に過ぎ、もっと遊びたいと思いました。

ボートを使って遊んだり、カヤックで近くから迫力ある写真やビデオを残して頂けるのも嬉しかったです！

インストラクターさん達も明るく楽しかったっす。また機会があれば是非お願いしたいです！

We participated with a total of five people, from elementary school children to my grandmother. Everyone was very satisfied. The water was cold, but it wasn't a problem with the dry suits. Jumping in from the high point was refreshing. I would like to participate again in early spring when the water level is high.小学校低学年から祖母まで計5名で参加しました。
5人とも大満足でした。
水は冷たかったですがドライスーツで問題ありませんでした。
途中高台からの飛び込みも爽快でした。
水量が多い春先にまた参加したいです。

Although it was unfortunately drizzling and the water level was low with a slow speed, my daughters, who were rafting for the first time, still seemed to have an amazing time. The staff were friendly and their service was excellent, so I definitely want to repeat this experience. Next, I'm looking forward to enjoying rafting with a higher water level around Golden Week!生憎の小雨の中、水量は少なくスピードもゆっくりだったけど、ラフティング初めての娘達はそれでも凄い楽しめたみたいです。
スタッフが気さくで対応も素晴らしく、是非リピートしたいです。
次はGW頃に水量が多いラフティングを楽しみに行きます！

At the end of July, I participated with two families, including a friend who came from Australia. We had a blast rafting in the refreshing cold stream, and both kids and adults enjoyed it to the fullest! The photos we received also had many amazing shots, making it the best memory of this trip to Hokkaido! Thank you to our veteran guide, Sho, who is also a new dad!7月末にオーストラリアから来た友人家族と二家族で参加しました。ヒンヤリ冷たい清流でのラフティング、子供も大人も思いっきり楽しめました！頂いた写真も最高のショットが多数あり、今回の北海道旅行で一番の思い出になりました！ベテランガイドで新米パパのショーさん、ありがとうございました！

We gathered at 9 o'clock and participated as a family of four (with children in 6th and 4th grades). We started with a thorough explanation and then moved to the Shiribetsu River by bus. (All the staff wore masks, and the bus was ventilated with open windows.) After preparing, we enjoyed rafting for a full hour and a half! The various points of interest were a lot of fun, and the children were thrilled. Above all, the staff were very friendly and wonderful.

様々なポイントで楽しませてくれ子どもたちも大喜びでした。何よりもスタッフの皆さんがとてもフレンドリーで素晴らしかったです。

We participated as a family of three. In summer, children from the age of four can join. We were equipped with proper safety gear, and while there was some playful behavior, it wasn't cold during the summer. Other tours also go down the river together, but here we received photos and videos, and considering the price, it's a great value. Additionally, the meeting point is close to the location, so if you're traveling by rental car, you can easily have lunch in Kutchan right after the tour. My wi… We participated as a family of three.

My wife, who was initially hesitant, was thrilled and said she was glad she participated. 家族3人で参加。夏は4歳から参加可能とのことです。しっかりと安全装備付け、多少のおふざけはありますが、夏場なら寒いことはありません。他のツアーも一緒に川下りしますが、こちらは写真や動画も頂けて、この値段なので、コスパも良いです。また、集合場所も現地に近いので、レンタカーなどで移動するなら、終わった後にすぐに倶知安でランチが出来ます。最初は引き気味の還暦妻もやって良かったと大喜びでした。

I was invited by a friend and participated with two girls. I'm usually an indoor person who doesn't want to go out and I'm not good at sports, but it was way more fun than I imagined, and I was super excited! The guy in charge (even though he said he wasn't dedicated) was amazing! From the start, he was really energetic, and we had a great time laughing and helping each other with the other four girls in the same boat. We had so much fun the whole time.

From the start, he was really energetic, and we had a great time laughing and helping each other with the other four girls in the same boat. We had so much fun the whole time.

It was nice to see the instructors greeting each other regardless of the company. We played a game called "wheelie" (is that the right name?) where we stood the boat vertically, raised our paddles together while cheering, played games standing on the boat, and jumped into the river. It was just so much fun.

Also, the water was cool and felt great. The cliff at the end of the course was breathtaking. The instructor said, "This view is moving no matter how many times you see it." Even though it was a lively tour, when we were looking at that view, we all admired the stunning scenery together, and that was really nice.

After Golden Week, the water flow increases, and it seems like it gets a bit more intense, so I definitely want to go again during that time! Thank you to all the girls who participated with me, my friends, and the staff! ♡ 友達に誘われて女子2人で参加。普段は基本外に出たくないインドア派＆スポーツ苦手ですが、想像以上に楽しくてテンションあがりまくりでした！

インストラクターの人が会社関係なく挨拶し合ってる感じもなんかよかった～。ウィーリーっていう（名前あってる？）ボートを垂直に立てる遊びをしたり、みんなでパドルを掲げて掛け声かけたり、ボートの上に立つ遊びをしたり、川に飛び込んだり。とにかく楽しかった。
あと水がひんやりして気持ち良かった。コースの最後にある崖？みたいなとこは絶景でした。インストラクターさんも「この景色は何度みても感動する」って言ってた。ワイワイのツアーだったけど、この景色見てるときはみんなで圧巻の景色を眺めて、それもなんだかよかったなー。
GW明けは水流がまして、激しさがちょっと増すらしく、絶対その時期にまた行きたい～～！
一緒に参加した女子の皆様、友達、そしてスタッフさん、みんなありがとうございました～♡

I was able to join such a fun and cost-effective tour in Niseko during Golden Week! The staff were all friendly, and it was clear that they were enjoying the tour together, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's nothing compared to Splash Mountain at a certain dreamland! I want to participate again next year! I'll invite my friends too!ゴールデンウィーク真っ最中のニセコで、こんな楽しいコスパサイコーのツアーに参加できました！
スタッフの方々はみんなフレンドリーで、一緒にツアーを楽しんでるのが伝わってきて、ますます楽しい時間となりました^_^

- Impressions from the experience
Since it was summer, the river wasn't too rough, but they planned a lot of fun activities that you can't do in spring, which was enjoyable. We participated as a family, and it was great to see the kids jumping in acrobatically one after another, allowing us to witness a side of them that we don't usually see.

- For those who will experience it in the future
The summer river activities are suitable for elementary school students, and the current is relatively gentle, making it recommended for first-timers.

The guides were very entertaining and had great energy, yet they provided thorough explanations about the scenery, allowing us to enjoy both play and learning. ・体験した感想
　夏なので川自体は荒々しくはありませんでしたが、その分春にはできない川遊びをたくさん計画してくれていて楽しかったです。
　家族で参加しましたが、参加していた子供達が次々に飛び込みをアクロバティックにやっていて、普段見られない逞しさを感じることができたのも良かったです。
・これから体験される方へ
　夏の川は小学生でも参加できるし、流れも比較的穏やかなので初めての方にはオススメです。

ガイドの方々もとても面白くてノリが良いにも関わらず、景色など説明するところはしっかりしていて、遊びと学び両方楽… ・体験した感想

Due to the rain from the previous day, the water level was high, and we had a great time rafting. I hope to enjoy it again next spring when the water is high. I'm also happy to receive the photos and data.前日の雨の影響で増水しており、楽しくラフティングできました
