I did some research hoping to see the red-crowned cranes while canoeing in the Kushiro Wetlands, and I ended up on this website. It takes less than an hour to get there by rental car from Kushiro Airport. While many other plans start at 1 PM, this one allows you to start at 12 PM, so we could head to our accommodation in the evening without rushing.

It was a chilly day with many clouds, but they provided ponchos to keep us warm, and the canoes were spacious and stable with backrests, making it very comfortable for my 72-year-old mother. Since it was the first day of our 3-night, 4-day trip, I was a bit worried about my shoes getting wet and considered bringing a spare pair, but the canoes were clean despite the rain the day before, so that worry was unnecessary!

Since we had a private canoe rather than sharing with others, it was perfect and we didn’t have to worry about being considerate. They also encouraged us not to paddle too much and to take photos, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. Our guide, Mr. Ichinose, was a calm and experienced professional with over 20 years in the field and was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. He pointed out the white-tailed eagle calling nearby and helped us spot animals even from a distance. We were able to see many animals, including black kites, a mother and baby deer, and even the red-crowned cranes, which I thought we wouldn't see.

The Norokko train stops at a nearby station just after 2 PM, so we were able to catch it and return to the meeting point on time. At just 230 yen, it was a great experience.

The next day, we enjoyed the blooming lavender in Furano, the beautiful flower carpets in Biei, the stunning blue pond on a clear day, and Otaru after more than 20 years. Although we had a satisfying daily itinerary, my mother said the canoeing in the Kushiro Wetlands was the most enjoyable part.

If anyone is looking to experience canoeing, I confidently recommend this option.

Thank you for the wonderful time!

釧路湿原でカヌーをしながら丹頂鶴が見れたら最高だなーと色々調べてこちらのHPに辿り着きました。
釧路空港からレンタカーで1時間かからず行けます。他の所のプランでは13時スタートが多い中、こちらは12時からスタートできるので夕方には泊まる宿に焦ることなく行けました。

雲の多い肌寒い日だったけど、寒さをしのげるようにポンチョを用意してくれたり、背もたれ付きのカヌーで広々として安定しているので72歳の母でも全然楽に過ごせました。
3泊4日の旅の初日だったので靴が濡れてしまうのではないか？予備を持っていこうかと少し心配していましたが、前日の雨にもかかわらずキレイなカヌーなのでその心配はご無用でした！

他の方と一緒に乗るのではなく貸し切りになるので気を使うこともなく最高です。
またあまり漕がなくても大丈夫ですよ、写真とか撮ってくださいと言ってくださり、ゆったりした気分で過ごせます。
担当してくださった一戸さんは20年以上のベテランの落ち着いた方で本当に動物にも詳しい方です。
オジロワシが鳴いてるから近くにいるよ！と発見してくださったり遠くにいても発見して教えてくれます。
その他にトンビ、親子の鹿、見れないだろうなーと諦めていた丹頂鶴など沢山の動物に会うことができました。
カヌーを降りた場所から近い駅に14時ちょっと過ぎにノロッコ号がとまるのでちょうど時間が合い乗ることが出来て集合場所に戻ることも出来ました。230円と安いしこれも良い体験になりました。

その次の日からは富良野の満開ラベンダー、美瑛の見事なお花のじゅうたん、晴れた日の見事
な真っ青になった青い池、20年以上振りの小樽など満足な毎日を過ごせたけど母いわく釧路湿原のカヌーが1番楽しかったとしみじみと言ってました。

カヌー体験したい方がいたら、私はこちらを選ぶことを自信をもってオススメします。

長々と書きましたが楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

This tour was great! Although in Japanese, our guide (Mr. Umebayashi) was able to explain many of the things in English. During the active season for bear, you cannot see most of the lakes without going with a guide. The tour was at a nice, enjoyable pace and filled with much information that we would not have learned otherwise. On top of that, Mr. Umebayashi drove us back to our hotel at the conclusion of the hotel. 100% recommend!

I couldn't visit the Blue Cave in Italy or Okinawa, but I found out there is one in Otaru, so I went to check it out. I was able to fully enjoy the transparent blue waters. The round-trip cruise was also very meaningful, as the captain provided fun commentary and shared a wealth of knowledge, making for a great experience.

イタリアも沖縄も見られなかった青の洞窟。小樽にもあると知って行ってきましたが、透き通った青を満喫できました。往復のクルーズも、船長さんの楽しいおしゃべりと豊富な知識でいろいろと案内していただき、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。

I have been to Jozankei in winter. Summer is nice too. The greenery is beautiful. The river is lovely. The Jozankei View Hotel is great. The guide was very kind. I recommend it. Since I was alone, I was able to switch to canoeing.

冬の定山渓は行ったことがあります。夏もいいです。緑がいいです。川もいいです。定山渓ビューホテルいいです。親切なガイドさんです。オススメですよ。1人だったので、カヌーにチェンジしてもらいました。

We participated with a total of five people, from elementary school children to my grandmother. Everyone was very satisfied. The water was cold, but it wasn't a problem with the dry suits. Jumping in from the high point was refreshing. I would like to participate again in early spring when the water level is high.

小学校低学年から祖母まで計5名で参加しました。
5人とも大満足でした。
水は冷たかったですがドライスーツで問題ありませんでした。
途中高台からの飛び込みも爽快でした。
水量が多い春先にまた参加したいです。

It was a very enjoyable boat cruise. The scenery reminiscent of Jurassic Park, in addition to the destination of the Blue Cave, was fantastic. The captain's jokes were also funny, and the whole family had a great time. Thank you very much.

非常に楽しいボートクルーズです。目的の青の洞窟以外にもジェラシックパークを連想するような景色も最高でした。船長のオチのわかるシャレも面白く家族全員楽しい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

Blessed with good weather, the Shakotan Blue. I was impressed looking into the "mysterious blue." The captain's guidance was also great! The 90-minute cruising, with a final round in the open sea, was refreshing. I'm glad I went!

好天に恵まれての、積丹ブルー。「神秘の青」をのぞきこんで、感心しました。船長さんのご案内もGOOD！９０分のクルージング、最後に外洋での一廻りは爽快さを演出してくれました。行って良かった！

It was drizzly weather, but the boat had a solid roof and windows, so I didn't need to wear a raincoat and could enjoy cruising with just a life jacket. I had no worries about taking photos because of the windows. There was a deck, and the boat stopped at sightseeing points. I had plenty of time to take pictures on the deck while listening to enjoyable commentary.

Above all, the scenery is stunning! I was told that on cloudy days, the blue looks deeper than on sunny days, and I was truly moved by the rich, deep blue. Additionally, there were many small, cute bats about the size of half a little bird living in the caves, flying around above, adding to the sense of adventure. The dramatic cliffs along the route reminded me of Shiretoko.

I had no idea I could enjoy such beautiful natural scenery in Otaru. I heard that the sunset time is also recommended, so I would like to participate again.

小雨模様のお天気でしたが、しっかりとした屋根と窓のあるボートなのでカッパを着ることもなく、救命胴着のみでのクルージングでした。
窓があることで写真が撮りにくいのでは、という心配は無用です。デッキがあり、観光ポイントではボートは止まります。楽しい解説を聞きながらデッキで写真を撮る時間はじゅうぶんにありました。
なにより、風景が素晴らしいです！晴れよりも曇りの日の方が青く見える、と言われましたが、こっくりと深い青には感動しました。また、洞窟内には小鳥の半分ほどのサイズの小さなかわいいコウモリがたくさん住んでいて、上の方を飛び回っていて、秘境感もたっぷりと味わえます。航路の断崖絶壁の風景はダイナミックで、知床に通じるものがあります。
小樽でこんなに大自然の風景を楽しめるとは知りませんでした。サンセットの時間帯もお勧めだと聞いたので、また参加したいと思います。

It’s a pleasant experience with OAC niseko rafting. Staff are super polite, equipped well and our guide from Nepal who is very experienced with rafting won’t making any mistakes during the whole activity, we strongly recommend this tour! Thanks everyone for making our day in Niseko:) great man made nature as well

It was an amazing kayaking experience guide by our guide, Risa. The weather was a little gloomy but it created a beautiful mountain view shrouded by the mist. We also kayak along the River Chitose that was quiet and calm, allowing us to be close to nature. The highlight was when we spotted 4 huge blue carps in the river swimming under our kayaks. Most importantly, the tour was perfect because of our guide, Risa. Risa was friendly, relaxed, and was adept at striking good, pleasant conversations. Overall, I highly recommend anyone who is dropping by this lake to take this tour.

My first trip to Eastern Hokkaido with my mother. To fulfill our wish of "wanting to ride a canoe in the Kushiro Wetlands," we deliberately planned an individual trip instead of a group tour with a travel agency.

The conditions for the canoe tour were twofold: "to be able to ride the canoe for as long as possible on a basic tour course" and "to have pick-up available near Kushiro Station since we wouldn't be driving." Based on these conditions, we applied to Healing Canoe Kushiro.

On the day of the tour, it was an unusually hot day for Hokkaido, but it was sunny with light winds, which I think were good conditions for canoeing. The refreshing sound of the water, the breeze crossing the surface, and the various bird calls from afar and nearby were all very pleasant.

I felt so relaxed and healed that I wanted to just drift along... Our guide, Mr. Ichinose, a local from Kushiro, was very attentive and fun, allowing us to feel safe and comfortable. I definitely want to visit again during this beautiful fresh green season and experience the different expressions of other seasons.

母と訪れる初めての道東。
「釧路湿原でカヌーに乗りたい！」という希望を叶えるため、旅行会社の団体旅行ではなく敢えて個人旅行を計画しました。
カヌーツアーの条件は「ベーシックなツアーコースで出来るだけ長時間カヌーに乗っていられること」と「車を運転しないので釧路駅近辺の送迎が可能なこと」の2点。
この条件にかなって今回ヒーリングカヌー釧路さんに申し込みました。
当日は北海道にはあり得ないほどの暑い日でしたが晴れて風も弱く、カヌーには良い条件だったと思います。涼やかな水の音、水面を渡ってくる風、遠くから近くから聞こえる様々な鳥の声など、とても心地良かったです。
このまま漂っていたい…と思うくらいリラックスして癒されました。
釧路っ子のガイド、一戸さんのアテンドはとても丁寧で楽しく、安心してお任せすることができました。
ぜひまた新緑の美しいこの時期、そして表情を変えた他の季節も訪れたいと思います。

We participated in an early morning canoe trip as a couple. When we stayed in Kushiro before, we only admired the view from the observation deck, so I thought we definitely had to try the canoe tour next time!

It was a beautiful sunny day, and we enjoyed a cherry blossom canoe experience with the Ezo Yamazakura in full bloom. We left the operation to Mr. Ichinose. It's also nice to paddle by yourself, as he will follow you. You can leisurely observe the untouched nature of the Kushiro Wetlands and the wildlife.

We love birds, and we were thrilled to encounter species like the Japanese crane, white-tailed eagle, and great spotted woodpecker.

If you come to Kushiro, I highly recommend participating in a canoe tour. There are so many attractions. I also plan to join a winter canoe tour next time. Thank you very much!

早朝カヌーに夫婦で参加しました。以前に釧路滞在した時は、展望台から眺めるのみだったので次回は絶対にカヌーツアーをやろう！と思っていました。
この日は快晴でちょうどエゾヤマザクラが満開のお花見カヌーとなりました。操作は一戸さんにおまかせです。自分で漕いでみるのも良いですよ、フォローしてくれます。釧路湿原の手付かずの自然と、野性動物たちをゆったりと観察することができます。
私たちは鳥が好きで、タンチョウ・オジロワシ・アカゲラなどに出会えることができ、感動しました。
釧路に来られる方は是非カヌーツアーに参加してみてください。魅力がいっぱいあります。
また次回は冬のカヌーツアーに参加しようと思います。どうもありがとうございました。

During the Golden Week, the weather can be unstable, leading to road closures at Shiretoko Pass and cancellations of sightseeing boat services. If you have a certain level of physical fitness and want to fully enjoy the majestic nature of the Five Lakes, I recommend signing up for a trekking tour. I participated on May 3rd, but the boat service was canceled (they contacted us the day before), and Shiretoko Pass was closed (determined on the morning of the tour), resulting in significant traffic. Additionally, during this time, you cannot tour the Five Lakes without a guided tour (I participated as part of a monitor tour), and individuals can only explore one lake, which affects the overall satisfaction. The guide was kind, knowledgeable, and managed the group of ten well. The trekking is not a strenuous mountain climb, so warm clothing is advisable. It's a full-day walking tour, but you can thoroughly enjoy the nature, scents, and wildlife of Shiretoko, making it highly recommended.

GWの時期は天気が不安定で知床峠が通行止めになったり、遊覧船も運行キャンセルになることもあり、ある程度体力に自信があり5湖の雄大な自然を満喫したいようであれば、トレッキングツアーの申し込みを推奨します。5月3日に参加しましたが、遊覧船はキャンセル(前日に連絡)され、知床峠は通行止め(当日の朝判断)で、かなりの渋滞でした。またこの時期はツアーでなけば5湖巡りができず(モニターツアーとして参加)、個人では1湖のみ限られた散策になるため、満足度も違います。ガイドさんは優しく知識もあり10名をうまく引率されてました。トレッキングもハードな山登りではないため、暖かな服装がよいです。丸一日歩くツアーですが、知床の自然、匂い、野生動物をじっくり味わうことができ、おススメです。

Our guide Mr. Jumbo was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was our first time to have kayak in Hokkaido. We learned a lot from Mr. Jumbo. He taught us how to appreciate the beauty of nature, and he even let us have a taste of the green onion leaves near the river side. It’s a wonderful experience that I’ll recommend for people going to 支芴湖！

Since the starting point is a shallow river with a depth of only up to my knees, I was able to enjoy canoeing with my child without any worries.

膝までの深さしかない浅い川からのスタートですので、子どもと一緒でも安心してカヌーを楽しむことが出来ました。

It was my first time rafting, and I had a great time! The time flew by, and I wanted to play more.

I was also happy to be able to take powerful photos and videos up close while playing with the boat and kayaking!

The instructors were cheerful and made it fun. I would definitely like to do it again if I have the chance!

初めてのラフティングでしたが、凄く楽しめましたー！時間があっという間に過ぎ、もっと遊びたいと思いました。

ボートを使って遊んだり、カヤックで近くから迫力ある写真やビデオを残して頂けるのも嬉しかったです！

インストラクターさん達も明るく楽しかったっす。また機会があれば是非お願いしたいです！

Before participating, I was worried about encountering brown bears, as they can be scary. During the morning tour, a brown bear appeared during the lecture, so the afternoon tour was moved up, and I was able to see a black woodpecker. There were also Ezo deer. I was concerned about whether the tour would proceed, but since the brown bear left, the tour went ahead, and we were able to see a mother and cub brown bear by the lakeshore after progressing to the second lake. Just before that, the crows started cawing, which was a sign. We turned back without seeing the first lake, but the tour went ahead, and it was fantastic.

参加前は、ヒグマは怖いので会わないようにしたいと思っていました。午前中のツアーがレクチャー中にヒグマが出たため、午後のツアーが先になりクマゲラを見ることができました。蝦夷鹿もいました。催行できるか心配でしたがヒグマがいなくなったため催行になり二湖まで進んだところで湖岸にヒグマの親子を見ることができました。直前にカラスが鳴きだしたため兆しがありました。一湖は見ずに引き返しましたがツアーが催行されて最高でした。

Overall good experiences. Nice weather and scenary. Guide is friendly and photographer (requires additional payment) help us took alot of nice photos. My friends (non-sporty) type was able to enjoy themselves, so is a suitable activity for families too.

I suddenly decided I wanted to see the snow and joined a tour. It was fun to learn about the animal tracks in the snow and the types of trees, discovering many things I would have overlooked on my own. Since I'm not used to snow, I thought it would be dangerous to walk alone, but there were clear warnings about the routes to be cautious of, so I didn't feel scared. I would like to participate again.

雪を見に行きたいと突然思い立って、
ツアーに参加した。
雪の上にあった動物の足跡や、どんな木なのかについて解説をしていただけて、ひとりでは見過ごしてしまうような発見が多く楽しかった。
また、雪慣れしていないためひとりで歩くにはやはり危険だと思ったが、注意すべきルートはきちんとお声かけがあったので、怖くなかった。また参加したい。

The host paid close attention to the guests while skillfully explaining things with humor, making it very engaging. Towards the end, they kindly helped us decide where to have lunch. What struck me the most was how much they genuinely love their local area.

　細かくゲストに目を配りつつ、冗談を交えながら上手に説明され、聞き応えがありました。終了間際には、昼食をどこで取ったらよいかの相談にも親身にのっていただきました。一番感じたのは、地元をとっても愛されている方だと感じました。

Jim-san & Masahiko-san gave my mom and a memorable smelt Fishing experience! They kindly fetched us at an agreed time, took great care of our wellbeing and safety throughout the day. Thought us with patience, helping us to set up the fishing line and guiding us with smelt fishing technique. They made sure my mom caught some smelt too to complete her experience. Jam-San & Masahiko-san are very caring guides. Jim-san & Masahiko-san are very well equipped!We were very surprise with the different tools used during our smelt Fishing tour!

We will definitely look for them the next time we visit sapporo! Thank you!

ジムさんとマサヒコさんが私のお母さんと思い出に残るワカサギ釣りを経験しました！彼らは親切に同意した時間に私たちを連れて行き、一日を通して私たちの健康と安全に細心の注意を払った。私たちは忍耐力を持って考え、釣り糸を準備し、精錬のテクニックを教えてくれました。彼らは私の母が彼女の経験を完了するためにもいくらかの精錬所を捕まえたことを確認しました。ジャムサンとマサヒコさんはとても気にかけているガイドです。次回札幌を訪れるときには絶対に探します！ありがとうございました！

ジムさんとマサヒコさんは設備が整っています！ワカサギ釣りツアー中に使用されたさまざまなツールにとても驚きました！

A friend from outside the area came to visit, so I joined in.
It's a shame that the autumn leaves season has passed...
Still, I was able to refresh myself, which felt great.
Since I had some canoeing experience, I would say the time was a bit too short for my liking.
For those who are trying it for the first time, it might be just the right amount of time.
The guide was also very good at Japanese, so I could participate without any worries.
Thank you very much.

道外の友人が遊びに来たので、参加させてもらいました。
紅葉の時期が外れてしまい、残念。。。
それでも、リフレッシュはできたので気持ちがよかったです。
カヌー経験があった為、贅沢を言うと、時間が短すぎました。
初体験の方には、調度良い時間なのでしょうか。
ガイドさんも日本語が上手で、何も心配なく参加できました。
ありがとうございました。

As residents of a warm region where snow doesn't accumulate, I wanted to show my 11-year-old son a snowy landscape and let him play in the snow, so I planned a trip to Hokkaido. After doing some research, I found North Snow Land in Chitose and decided to participate this time.

The three of us were truly moved by the vast snowy scenery, and although we were eager to experience the activities, we spent an hour enjoying ourselves by lying in the snow and having snowball fights in the free area. That alone was enough for us as residents of a warm climate, but of course, we had a blast afterward.

We were impressed by the thrill of snow rafting, and the mini snowmobiles were fun too; my son enjoyed them. We couldn't do the tube sliding due to the low snow accumulation (which was an incredible amount of snow for us), but instead, we got to try the snow zip line, which was also thrilling and enjoyable.

It was truly fun, and I would recommend it to anyone I know planning a trip to Hokkaido.

Thank you to all the staff!

　温暖で雪は積もらない県の住民なので、11歳の息子に一度は雪景色を見せてあげたい、雪でおもいっきり遊ばせてあげたいとの思いから北海道旅行を計画し、いろいろ調べてノーススノーランドイン千歳さんを見つけて今回参加させて頂きました。
　家族三人、本当に一面の雪景色に感動し、早くアクティビティを体験したらよいのにもかかわらず、一時間長、フリーエリアで雪に寝転がったり雪の掛け合いをしたりして楽しみました。
それだけで南国の住人には十分でしたが、もちろんそのあと、遊び放題で楽しみました。
　スノーラフティングの迫力に感動、ミニスノーモービルも面白く、息子も楽しんでました。
チューブ滑りは、積雪量が少ない(南国住人にはあり得ないくらいの雪の量でしたが)とのことでできませんでしたが、代わりにスノージップラインをさせて頂き、これも迫力があり面白かったです。

　本当に楽しかったので、北海道旅行に行く知人がいれば勧めたいです。

スタッフのみなさん、ありがとうございました。

Since it's close to Chitose Airport, I used the time before my flight to visit. There wasn't much snow on the day, so we couldn't do tubing. I think it's a good idea to check the snow depth before going. I participated with my 10-year-old and 4-year-old, but if you have children under 6, they can only join horseback riding and snow rafting, which might be a bit lacking for just kids under 6. However, toddlers are free, so it still feels like a good deal. Overall, I think it's a cost-effective and worthwhile experience.

千歳空港から近いのでフライトまでの空き時間に利用させてもらいました。当日は雪が少なくチューブ滑りは出来ませんでした。なので積雪量のチェックはした方がよいかと思います。また、10歳と4歳の子と参加しましたが6歳以下だと乗馬とスノーラフティングしか参加できなかったので6歳以下のお子さんだけだとちょっと物足りないかも。ただ幼児は無料なのでそれでもお得感はありますが。基本的にはコスパが良いお得な物だと思います。

The rental wear was beautiful and reasonable. Both adults and children enjoyed snowmobiling and horseback riding in the snow. The shuttle bus driver to the station was kind and informed us of the nearest bus stop to the station, so we were able to catch the train. I would like to use this service again.

レンタルのウェアも綺麗でリーズナブル
スノーモービルや雪中乗馬を大人も子供も楽しみました。
駅までのシャトルバスの運転手さんも親切で
駅最短のバス停を教えてくださったので
電車に間に合いました。また利用したいです。

After the three-day weekend in October, I participated alone starting at 6 AM. I was picked up from my hotel in Kushiro city just after 5 AM and headed to Lake Tōro. It was just me and our guide, Mr. Ichinoto, as we quietly paddled through the Kushiro Wetlands. We encountered many wild animals, including deer, white-tailed eagles, falcons, cormorants, herons, and ducks. In the distance, we heard the calls of deer and cranes, creating an indescribable atmosphere. While listening to Mr. Ichinoto's stories, I enjoyed a leisurely canoe ride (leaving the paddling to him).

The view from the observation deck and walking along the wooden paths in the Kushiro Wetlands are nice, but entering the wetlands by canoe is the best experience. I heard that the winter Kushiro Wetlands are also beautiful, so I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.

　10月の三連休の後、早朝6時から一人参加しました。
朝、5時過ぎに釧路市街のホテルへ迎えに来ていただいて塘路湖へ。
ガイドの一戸さんと私しかいない静かな釧路湿原の中をカヌーで進んでいきました。シカ・オジロワシ・ハヤブサ・鵜・アオサギ・カモ。遠くにタンチョウのつがいなどたくさんの野生動物に出会いました。シカやタンチョウの声が遠くから響き、何とも言えない時間が流れていきました。一戸さんのお話を聞きながら、のんびり川下り(カヌーの操作は一戸さん任せ)を楽しみました。
　釧路湿原は展望台からの眺めや木道歩きもいいですが、カヌーで湿原の中へ入っていくのが一番です。冬の釧路湿原もいいと伺ったので、また参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I signed up for this tour hoping my Korean boyfriend would have a unique experience in Hokkaido.

The tour guide was skilled in both Japanese and English, allowing us to enjoy his fun jokes in either language.

The journey to the cave was thrilling, and the blue cave felt like a Disneyland attraction, which was exciting. The emerald green was truly beautiful, and my boyfriend was very impressed.

Unfortunately, my iPhone ran out of battery, so I couldn't take any photos, but the guide kindly offered to charge it for me. He was very service-oriented.

I've visited Otaru several times, but this was my first experience like this. I definitely recommend it to both international visitors and Japanese people.

韓国人の彼が北海道に遊びに来ると行くことで珍しい経験が出来たらと思い申し込みました。

ツアーガイドさんは日本語も英語も上手な方で、彼の楽しいジョークをどちらの言語でも楽しむことが出来ました。

洞窟に着くまでの移動も迫力満点でしたが、青い洞窟はディズニーランドのアトラクションのようでわくわくしました。エメラルドグリーンが本当に綺麗で彼もとても驚いてくれました。

途中でiPhoneの充電が切れてしまい写真が撮れなくなってしまったのですが、ガイドさんが快く充電して下さりました。とてもサービス精神が旺盛な方でした。
小樽に何度か訪れたことはありますが、このような体験は始めてです。海外の方は勿論、日本の方にも是非参加していただきたいです。

I participated with a friend. The guide was a cheerful self-proclaimed Earthling (Russian) captain. It's a covered boat, so it's safe for those who can't swim or are afraid of water, and you can also feel the wind outside. The journey has a bit of an attraction feel to it, making it enjoyable on its own.

Fortunately, we had the boat to ourselves, so I took a lot of photos, and I could feel the thoughtfulness in things like slowing down the boat. The Blue Grotto is undoubtedly beautiful. It's worth seeing. You can enjoy it with family, friends, or a partner.

友人との参加でした。
陽気な自称地球人（ロシア人）の船長の案内です。屋根のあるボートで泳げない方、水の怖い方でも安心ですし、外に出て風を感じる事もできます。道中はちょっとしたアトラクション感覚で、これだけでも楽しいです。

運良く貸切状態だったので、写真を撮りまくってしまいましたが、たぶんボートのスピード落とすなど、心使いも感じました。
青の洞窟は間違いなくキレイです。見る価値はあります。家族、友人、恋人、どなたとでも楽しめますよ。

We participated in mid-September, about ten days after the earthquake. The water was a bit cold, but surrounded by the nature of the Toyohira River, the air was fresh and the water was clear, which felt great. There were rapids and calm spots! Cliffs! Waterfalls! ... Dives! There were so many fun things along the way that I wished we could have stayed out longer. The guide was also a nice person. We had a wonderful time.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

私達が参加したのは地震の10日位後の9月の中旬で、ちょっと水も冷たかったですが豊平川の自然の中、空気も良く水もきれいで気持ちが良かったです。
激流もあり、穏やかな所もあり！
崖！滝！… ダイブ！
いろいろと楽しい事が途中で盛りだくさんで、もーちょっと長い時間乗って居たかったくらい楽しかったです。
案内の人も良い人でした。
楽しい時間を過ごせました。

また機会があれば参加したいです。
