Plan introduction(Ducky Tour for Beginners)
This kayaking tour will be held in the beautiful nature of Sorachi River on a boat called a ducky.
Maximum capacity of a ducky is 1~2 people, so all participants will be required to practice paddling before the tour.
Our experienced guides will be around to help you out, so this tour is recommended for everyone, even beginners too.
Moreover, the boat may flip over at times, but don’t worry too much as it is easy to flip back.
In addition to this, all participants are required to listen to safety lectures and wear a life jacket and a helmet.
We will also explain what to do when you get thrown into the river, so it is safe for those who aren’t confident in swimming too.
