Enjoy a half-day rafting trip down the Shimanto River! Morning session: 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM Afternoon session: 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM This approximately 6-kilometer rafting course features rapids and gentle currents created by the Shimanto River's topography. The upper reaches are relatively rapid, the middle reaches meander significantly, and the lower reaches flow gently. The area around Natural Groove, located in the middle reaches, has few man-made structures and is surrounded by vast natural beauty. In addition to experiencing classic rafting activities such as navigating rapids in a rafting boat and jumping into the water from rocks, you can also enjoy river SUP on the gentler currents. Don't miss this unique Shimanto River experience where you can enjoy both rafting and SUP!
