Plan introduction (Kids OK! Private River Rafting)
This tour is the plan to go down the Chitose River by a chartered rafting boat!
The Chitose River, where the tour will take place, is a calm river with Lake Shikotsu as its source.
Rafting may have a strong image of rafting down a violent river, but this tour can be safely joined by beginners and small children.
You can see fish, ducks, and kingfishers swimming in the river, which you can’t usually see, and most of all, you can bring your whole family and friends to participate.
This tour is available for children over 1 year old, and it is always a private tour.
The maximum number of passengers on one boat is six.
You can also bring your dog, so you can bring your whole family and friends, including your grandma and grandpa, to join the tour.
Moms don’t have to wait in the car with their little ones, grandparents don’t have to wait, and so on!
Why don’t you feel the nature that you can’t usually feel and make wonderful memories with your family and friends?
The Chitose River, where the tour will take place, is about a 15-minute drive from New Chitose Airport and about a 60-minute drive from Sapporo Station, so it is easily accessible.
Be sure to stop by at the start or end of your sightseeing in Hokkaido!
