Product Info

This is a safe, private two-hour kayak tour with full instructor support. You'll first receive a thorough lesson on how to use the paddle and operate the kayak, and the instructor will accompany you throughout the entire tour. Even beginners and those who are a little nervous about getting out on the water can participate with peace of mind. In addition to basic techniques like staying in a straight line and smoothly changing direction, the instructor will also introduce various styles to enhance your enjoyment of Lake Biwa's unique waters, greatly expanding the range of ways to enjoy the experience. Another appealing feature is that this private tour is accompanied by a staff member, allowing you to kayak in a wider area than the Lake Biwa Kayak Experience Pass. This special experience allows you to enjoy even more expansive scenery and the tranquil lake surface. This is the perfect course for those who want to fully explore Lake Biwa while prioritizing safety and support!

The instructor will give you a thorough explanation of how to paddle and safety before you begin.
