The Adventure of calming float and serenity
As you paddle slowly through the crystal clear river, you can observe untouched forests and wildlife up close. One of the highlights of this tour is the serene atmosphere that makes you forget the passage of time. The kayak glides silently over the water, and the only sounds you hear are the wind passing through, birds chirping, and the gentle flow of the river. Yakushima’s rivers offer a tranquility that feels like the silence of the earth.
Of course, if you feel like being active, you can anchor on a sandy shore for a swim or even jump into the river from rocky ledges!
Our kayaks are beginner-friendly, sit-on-top types with excellent stability. They will not capsize unless you make sudden, extreme movements. Also, the Anbo River, where the tour takes place, is calm with no strong currents except during when the water level is high, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and families with children.
Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, immerse yourself in Yakushima’s magnificent nature, and refresh both your mind and body.
