Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • A packraft is a portable, ultra-lightweight, single-person inflatable boat (a boat that you inflate with air to get in). It offers excellent stability and smooth lateral movement, making it easy for even beginners to enjoy river rafting.
  • First-ever packraft tour in the Shimanto River system!
  • This is the only place in Shikoku where you can experience packrafting! Embark on a grand adventure where you choose your own route and become one with the clear waters of the Shimanto River! Unlike canyoning, you basically don't get in the water, and since it takes place in the main Shimanto River basin where both the water and air temperatures are much warmer than in the canyon areas, the season is always comfortable!
  • (Photo data and hot spring ticket) Free gift
  • During your packrafting trip, our guides and ground crew will take photos with their digital cameras, DSLRs, and GoPros. These will be given to you free of charge after the tour! Please take them home as a memento of your trip! (Please note that digital cameras and GoPros may not be available depending on the circumstances of the day.)
