All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I had a wonderful time participating. I joined with my mother, and the advance communication, as well as the preparation and instructions on how to use binoculars, were very helpful. The pace was just right, and the conversation was engaging, so time flew by. It wasn't tiring at all. My mother also said she was glad to have joined. This was my first hiking tour, and I found it to be excellent, so I highly recommend it.

大変、気持ちよく参加出来ました。
自分は母と参加させていただきましたが、事前連絡もそうですが、双眼鏡とかの準備、使用方法などをレクチャーしていただき大変ためになりました。
ペースもちょうど良く、話も飽きがないのであっという間に時間は経ちました。
全然しんどくもなかったです。
母もいい人で良かったと言ってました。
こういうハイキングのツアーは初めてでしたが、大変良いと今回のツアーで思いましたのでおすすめです。

It was a three-hour stroll, but along the way, I was taught various things about the nature of Shiretoko, making it an engaging experience without any dull moments.

3時間ほどの散策でしたが道すがらに知床の自然に関するさまざまなことを教えてくださり飽きずに過ごすことができました。

The guide was very polite and answered all our questions with a wide range of knowledge, allowing us to have a comfortable and enjoyable time. Thank you! I was able to trust them completely!

ガイドさんがとても丁寧で、こちらの質問にも幅広い知識でなんでも答えてくださり、快適に楽しく過ごせました。ありがとうございました！安心してお任せできました！

I participated in the 2-hour course. Although it rained, the time flew by and we had a lot of fun. The course included areas that felt like a dense jungle, and the children were very happy. I joined during the waiting time before my flight home, and it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected; I'm glad I participated in this tour.

After reaching the endpoint by canoe, all participants took a van back. On the day of the event, four families participated, and I think there were a total of 12 people, including children. Due to the rain, we boarded a single closed vehicle to return to the starting point. Two families knew each other and spent the entire ride talking and laughing loudly, which made me concerned about the risk of COVID-19 infection. There were no COVID-19 prevention measures in place.

2時間コースに参加しました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、楽しくあっという間に時間が過ぎました。
コースは密林の様なところを進んでいく場所もあり、子供がとても喜んでいました。帰りの飛行機までの待ち時間に参加しましたが、思ったより楽しく、参加してよかったツアーです。
カヌーで終点まで行ったあと、ワゴン車に参加者すべてが乗って帰ります。参加当日は4家族が参加し、子供を含め全部で12人いたと思います。雨が降ったせいもありますが、1台の締め切った車に乗り込んで出発地点まで帰りました。
2家族が知り合い同士で、この2家族が到着までずっと大声で話したり笑ったりしていて、コロナの感染が心配でした。
コロナ感染対策が出来ていなかった。

The explanation was thorough and in a relaxed manner. The time flew by. Additionally, there was someone who got seasick, but it was nice to see how they took care of them politely and made sure not to inconvenience the other guests.

悠長な日本語で説明が上手。あっという間の時間でした。
さらに船酔いをしてしまった人がいましたが、丁寧にお世話したり、他のお客さんを不快にしないように対応していた姿がよかったです。

August 26
In Kanto, it's unimaginable! Morning temperature 16° (cold)
Experiencing Hokkaido!!

Starting at 6 AM in light rain was a great choice, right? We were welcomed by many deer, and the guide was excellent at storytelling, making it the best experience.

8月26日
関東では、考えられない！朝の気温16°（寒）
北海道を体感！！

小雨の中6時スタートが良かったのか？シカさんがいっぱいお迎えしてくれガイドさんも話が上手くて最高の経験になりました。

It was pouring rain at the meeting point, but as we prepared, it turned into light rain, and by the time we started, it was sunny. In the end, the 80% chance of rain calmed down in front of the sunny weather. Since there were 8 participants in 4 groups, it was easy to hear the explanations, and we could enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace. We only encountered one deer, but observing insects, frogs, mushrooms, and trees was very interesting. The guide was a veteran (young) and was very attentive. We also had many photos taken. Thank you very much. The rain gear I brought was not needed, but I was glad it didn't rain. The rented boots (free) were very helpful.

集合時豪雨でしたが、準備をしているうちに小雨になり、スタート時には晴れてきました。結局80%の降水確率は晴れ男の前におとなしくなりました。4グループ8人の参加だったので説明も聞きやすく、ゆっくりペースで満喫できました。動物には鹿1匹しか出合いませんでしたが、昆虫、カエル、きのこ、木々の観察ができ興味深かったです。ガイドさんもベテラン（若い）でいろいろきをつかってkいろいろきをつかってくれました。写真もいっぱい撮影していただきました。有り難うございました。持参したレインウェアは役に立ちませんでしたが、雨降りにならず良かったです。レンタルした長靴（無料）は大変役に立ちました。

The captain's speaking skills and the bouncing boat were just as the reviews said, and it was a lot of fun! Reservations are required for at least two people, but when I mentioned I was coming alone, they kindly refunded me on the day. The service was very friendly and attentive. Although it was an early start at 7 AM, there were no other boats waiting at that time, so we could enjoy the Blue Cave at a leisurely pace, and the sea was calm. I heard that the afternoon trips were expected to have rough seas. Therefore, I recommend the early morning cruise! If you're prone to seasickness, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication, but if you focus on the distant view, you'll be fine!

船長のトーク力と飛び跳ねるボートは口コミ通りでとても楽しかったです！申し込みは2名分からとなり、1人参加と伝えたら当日返金してくださいましたし、対応が親切丁寧でした。朝7時と早起きでしたが、その時間帯は他に待機するボートがなく、ゆっくり青の洞窟を楽しめましたし、海も穏やかなんだそうです。その日も午後の便は海が荒れそうとのことでした。なので、朝イチのクルーズをオススメします！船酔いする方は酔い止めを用意した方がよいですが、遠くを見て楽しんでしまえば大丈夫です！

I signed up for this tour because I wanted my children to have an experience in Hokkaido for the first time. Since we had done kayaking a few times in the remote islands of Okinawa, we were able to do it smoothly, which was great. The scenery was truly Hokkaido, surrounded by mountains, with a light mist adding to the very magical atmosphere, and I was moved by its beauty. The children were also amazed by the clarity of the water. I learned that in winter, you can do this with snow piled up, so I want to come back in winter as well. It's a quick and easy tour, so I recommend it.

子供たちと初めての北海道で、何か体験をさせたくて、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。
沖縄の離島などで何度かカヤックを体験していたのでスムーズにできたのでよかったです。
景色は、さすが北海道だな〜という山に囲まれ、うっすら霧もでてきて、とても幻想的な雰囲気のなかその美しさに感動しました。
子供たちも、水の透明感などに驚いていました。
冬は雪が積もった中するとのことで、冬にも来たくなりました。
サクッとできるツアーなので、おすすめです。

It was full of activities! You can enjoy it from any seat!
It was a very memorable experience♪
I'm glad I participated.
Thank you very much.

アクティビティ感満載です!どこの席でも楽しめます!
とても思い出に残る体験でした♪
参加して良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but…
We shared the ride with two other families.
Once on board, we had a wonderful time the whole way!

The captain kept making dad jokes,
the pleasant sea breeze during the cruise,
the emerald green of the Blue Grotto,
the magical sunset, etc...

It was surprising that the Blue Grotto looks more beautiful on cloudy days than in clear weather.

I've heard that during the morning and daytime, other companies' boats create traffic at the Blue Grotto, so I recommend the evening trips!

集合場所が少し分かりづらかったですが…
他2家族と同乗。
乗船してからはずーっと楽しい時間でした！

船長の親父ギャグ連発
クルーズ中の心地よい潮風
エメラルドグリーンの青の洞窟
幻想的なサンセットetc...

快晴よりも曇り空の方が青の洞窟が綺麗というのは意外でした

朝と日中は他社船で青の洞窟が渋滞するそうなので、夕方便はオススメです！

We were blessed with good weather, and the guide's pacing was excellent, allowing us to enjoy a rich three hours. I learned about mushrooms that I wouldn't have noticed on my own and heard stories about the nesting sites of the great spotted woodpecker, making the trekking even without views of the lake quite enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to hear various stories about brown bears, which showed that our guide was experienced, allowing us to enjoy the nature of Shiretoko with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to participate with my wife next time.

天気に恵まれたこともありますが、ガイドの方の進行も良く、
密度の濃い3時間を過ごすことができました。
個人参加では気が付かないキノコのことや
アカゲラの営巣跡の話など、湖の見えないトレッキング時も
十分に楽しめました。
あと、ヒグマに関する話も色々伺えて経験豊かなガイドさんで
あることが分かり、安心して知床の自然を楽しめました。
また機会があれば次は妻と参加したいと思います。

- Impressions from the experience
Since it was summer, the river wasn't too rough, but they planned a lot of fun activities that you can't do in spring, which was enjoyable. We participated as a family, and it was great to see the kids jumping in acrobatically one after another, allowing us to witness a side of them that we don't usually see.

- For those who will experience it in the future
The summer river activities are suitable for elementary school students, and the current is relatively gentle, making it recommended for first-timers.

The guides were very entertaining and had great energy, yet they provided thorough explanations about the scenery, allowing us to enjoy both play and learning.

・体験した感想
　夏なので川自体は荒々しくはありませんでしたが、その分春にはできない川遊びをたくさん計画してくれていて楽しかったです。
　家族で参加しましたが、参加していた子供達が次々に飛び込みをアクロバティックにやっていて、普段見られない逞しさを感じることができたのも良かったです。
・これから体験される方へ
　夏の川は小学生でも参加できるし、流れも比較的穏やかなので初めての方にはオススメです。

ガイドの方々もとても面白くてノリが良いにも関わらず、景色など説明するところはしっかりしていて、遊びと学び両方楽しめました。

Despite the rain and poor visibility, the guide provided insights into what we could see and feel. I had a great time!

雨で、見通しが悪い中、ガイドさんが見えるもの。感じるもののガイドをしてくださいました。とても楽しめました！

I participated on August 18, 2024.

Although the weather wasn't great, I was able to see the fantastical scenery of Shiretoko Five Lakes. During the trekking, I saw beautiful deer parents and their fawns, baby birds, young trees growing from fallen logs, and various mushrooms. There were clear bear footprints in the mud, which made me feel the presence of bears. The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I had a great time. I would like to visit again. Thank you! (o^^o)

ありがとうございました(o^^o)

We participated with my second-grade child and my great-grandmother, who is celebrating her 77th birthday, making it a four-generation experience. The river's flow was gentle and shallow, so there was no fear, and we had a great time. The guide was friendly and provided reassurance, even when the steering didn't go perfectly or was a bit delayed. Since it was a half course, the actual time spent kayaking was about an hour, so only the child brought a water bottle, but on a sunny summer day, it might be a good idea for adults to bring one as well. My great-grandmother seemed a bit tired, but the adults found it very enjoyable. The guide also took photos at various points and provided us with the images at the end, which was a nice touch. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

小学2年生と喜寿の曾祖母ら4世代で参加しました。川の流れが穏やかで尚且つ浅いので、怖さもなく、楽しめました。ガイドさんは気さくな方で舵取りが上手くいかなかったり遅れてもちゃんとフォローしてくれるので安心でした。ハーフコースなので実際カヤックに乗ってる時間は小一時間のため、水筒は子供のみ持参しましたが、夏の晴れた日なら、大人も持参してもよいかもしれません。曾祖母は少し疲れたようですが、大人は全然楽でした。所々でガイドさんが写真を撮ってくださり最後に画像をいただけたのも良かったです。また、機会があれば参加したいです。

The captain's jokes were plentiful, and the thrilling attractions and beautiful scenery were all fantastic!

船長さんのジョークいっぱいのお話と
スリル満点のアトラクション、きれいな景色、どれも最高でした！

We participated in the morning big loop course as a family of four. There were about ten people in our group. We considered going on our own, but we are really glad we joined this tour. Above all, our guide was wonderful—gentle, fun, and reliable! They explained various things in the forest in a way that even our elementary school children could understand, and our indoor-oriented child was very interested and listened intently. (They might have seemed unfriendly since they don't show their feelings much, but they were actually having a great time!) We didn't encounter any bears, but we were able to see mandarin ducks, a herd of female deer, and a magnificent male deer with impressive antlers. Before participating, the kids said, "We can't walk for three hours! No way!" but they were surprised to find it was over so soon. Next time, we want to join the full-day course. Thank you very much!

家族4人で午前の大ループコースに参加しました。約10人のグループでした。自分たちだけで回ろうかとも考えていましたが，このツアーに参加して本当によかったです。なにより、物腰柔らかく、楽しく、そして頼れるガイドさんが最高でした！森の中の様々な事柄を小学生の子供にもわかりやすく説明してくださり、インドア派の子供も興味深々に話を聞いていました。（顔に出ないタイプなので無愛想にみえたかもしれません笑　実はとても楽しんでいました！）熊に出会うことはありませんでしたが、おしどりや、メスジカの群れや、立派な角のオスのシカを見ることができました。子供たちも、参加前は、3時間も歩けない!無理!と言っていましたが，え？もう終わり？？と驚いていました。今度は1日コースにも参加したいです。ありがとうございました！！

It was unfortunately cloudy that day, but it might have been better since direct sunlight would have been harsh.

With the 4-kilometer course, you can get a free shuttle to New Chitose Airport. This service is great for tourists. They also take care of your luggage, and you can put your valuables in a waterproof bag for the canoe. I recommend using the restroom beforehand.

The first half of the 4 kilometers goes down a wide and calm river, while the second half is like a jungle course. I thought the 4 kilometers would be easy, but paddling on both sides made it difficult to maintain balance.

There were foreign participants paddling alongside us. The guide was very enjoyable. If you have an iPhone, you can receive photos via AirDrop.

この日はあいにくくもりでしたが
晴れだと直射日光がきつそうなので
曇りでよかったかもしれません

4キロコースだと
新千歳空港へ無料で送迎していただけます
観光客はこのサービスは大きいですね
荷物も預かっていただけ
貴重品は防水バッグに入れてカヌーに
トイレは事前に済ませておくことを
おすすめします

4キロの前半は広く穏やかな川を下ります
後半はジャングルのようなコースに
4キロって楽だろうな、と思ってましたが
左右でパドルで漕ぐのは
バランスをとるのがむずかしかったです

カヌーには外国の方が並走して下さいました
ガイドがとても楽しかったです
iPhoneだと写真をAirDropで頂けます

Since my 5-year-old grandchild was with us, we chose the half course, but what mattered most was that they were smiling and having fun the whole time.

５歳の孫も一緒だったのでハーフコースにしましたが、ずっと楽しそうに笑顔でいたのがなによりでした。

I had an upset stomach since the day before, and although I attended the lecture, I had to go to the restroom midway. There was a possibility that I would need to use the restroom during the tour as well, so unfortunately, I had to withdraw. Later, I only walked along the elevated walkway, but the weather was bad, and I couldn't see the Shiretoko mountain range or the sea at all.

前日からお腹の調子が悪く、レクチャーまでは受けたのですが、途中でトイレに行く羽目になりました。ツアーの途中でもトイレに行く必要が生じる可能性があり、残念ながら離脱しました。
後で、高架木道だけ歩きましたが、天気が悪く、知床連山や海は全く見えませんでした。

I participated with my mother at the beginning of August, and I think it was really fun. The day before departure, I received a message from the person in charge, and we discussed and decided on the meeting place and time. They provided transportation to an easy-to-find spot near the bus stop.

There are no changing rooms on site, but you can change at a nearby restroom. When we went rafting, I felt that the river was really beautiful. It took about 2.5 hours in total. During the last 30 minutes, I was able to swim a little.

I think this was a lot of fun, and I would like to participate again.

8月頭ぐらいにお母さんと参加して、すごい楽しかったと思います。
出発前日に担当者から連絡メッセージが来て、集合場所や時間について相談して決まりました。バス停付近のわかりやすい所まで送迎してもらいました。
現場では更衣室がないけど、近所のお手洗いで着替えできます。
ラフティングした時、川がすごくキレイだと感じました。全部で約2.5時間ぐらいかかります。最後の30分間に、ちょっと泳げました。
今回はすごい楽しかったと思います。また参加したいと思います。

It was a starry sky where I could see the Milky Way and shooting stars! The guide, Ayano, provided easy-to-understand explanations of the constellations, and she also shared tips for taking photos with a smartphone. I was very satisfied with the wealth of information that I could only get by participating in the guided tour! Thank you very much.

天の川や流れ星まで見れる満天の星空でした！ガイドの綾野さんの星座の説明も分かりやすく、またスマホでの撮影のコツも教えて頂けるため、ガイドに参加したからこそ分かる情報がたくさんで大満足です！ありがとうございました。

At first, I was anxious, but the Italian captain was full of dad jokes and made it very enjoyable. Since it was early in the morning, the waves were calm, and the breeze felt wonderful. The beauty of the sea doesn't quite come across in photos, but I had a great time. I planned this during my spare time, and it was the most fun I had on my trip to Hokkaido.

始めは不安でしたが、イタリア人の船長さんはオヤジギャグ炸裂でとても楽しく、朝イチでしたので波もおだやかで風がとても気持ちよかったです。
写真ではあまりよさが伝わらないですが、海は美しくよい時を過ごせました。
余った時間で計画しましたが、北海道旅行で一番楽しかったです。

The guide was kind and explained everything in detail, making the 3-hour walk very enjoyable. I was also very satisfied to see cute Ezo squirrels and deer. I definitely want to participate again!

ガイドさんは優しく丁寧に説明してくださり、とても楽しみ3時間のウォーキング。
可愛いエゾリスや鹿にも会えて大満足でした。
是非また参加したいです！

I have done stand-up paddleboarding a few times, but I have never experienced such clear rivers and lakes. I was able to see all the way to the bottom of the Chitose River, including fish and water plants. I think it would have been even more beautiful if the weather had been a bit sunnier, but I was more than satisfied even with the cloudy weather.

SUPは何度かしたことがありますが、こんなに透明な川と湖は体験したことがありません。千歳川の底まで、魚や梅花藻も見ることができました。お天気がもう少し晴れていたらもっときれいだったと思いますが、曇りでも十分に満足できました。

Participated with my dog.
The instructor was kind and cheerful, making it enjoyable and安心 to join.
Thank you very much.

ワンコと一緒に参加
親切で愉快なインストラクターさんで楽しく安心して参加することができました。
ありがとうございました

I found it very interesting that they had extensive knowledge about plants and animals and provided various explanations. I was also able to feel the cycle of life in the forest. The guide made it even more enjoyable with humor. It was a two-and-a-half-hour course where we stopped at each lake while receiving explanations along the way. I was able to walk without any difficulty.

植物や動物についての知識が豊富で、色々と解説してくださりとても興味深かったです。
森の命の循環を感じることもできました。
笑いを交えながらのガイドで、より楽しかったです。
道中の解説や、それぞれの湖で立ち止まりつつの2時間半のコース。
無理なく歩くことができました。

The guide was exceptionally likable! It seemed like they adjusted the walking pace while considering the whole group, and I believe everyone was satisfied. The explanations were thorough and easy to understand, making the charm of Shiretoko feel multiplied. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんは、好感度抜群でした！全体を見ながら歩くペースを調整されていたご様子で、全員が満足されたと思います。説明も丁寧でわかりやすく、知床の魅力が何倍にもなったと感じました。ありがとうございました。

The tour start time was adjusted slightly, allowing us to experience the serene Kushiro Wetlands. We were able to see Ezo deer bathing, a white-tailed eagle, a black kite, and a heron, all thanks to the quiet atmosphere. Although we couldn't see the red-crowned crane in the wetlands, we were able to spot one on the way back and capture a photo.
I think this is an activity that everyone should experience in the Kushiro Wetlands!

ツアー開始の時間を少しずらして頂けたので、静寂な釧路湿原を体験することができました。エゾシカの水浴び、オジロワシ、トンビ、アオサギ、静かな時間だからこそ観ることができたようです。タンチョウは湿原では見ることはできなかったですが、帰りの道中で見ることができ、写真に収めることができました。　
釧路湿原でぜひ体験したいアクティビティだと思います！
