Let's Enjoy Together
This family course is the family and the person and your child who could come are still a fitting course in a small way.
It's the gentlest course in the course in Yoshino River. Still it's Yoshino River where Japan three large rampageous river is also one, so there are some torrent points.
I think it fits the person who will go out on an absent day with the family.
FAQ Kochi Family Rafting
- Q. Is the rafting dangerous for a small child?
- It's considered sufficiently safely. We also put equipment on the helmet and the life jacket tightly! And a tour guide squats in the boat at the time of a torrent, and is caught by a rope, and directs, so I'm relieved. going down several some torrents, I'd like to get off more! The heart which says so is sprouting up. And wannna try Oboke half-day tour next year! There are also many family which say so! I think if you can get such feeling one after another.
- Q. One under the participation age, how old, the top, how old, can we participate?
- There are no upper limits from 7 years old in the bottom. A family takes your grandchild, and can come by everyone rather than can come only by a parent and child. The person who invites a relative and participates in rafting as mass's place is seen much, too! You can do tour participation of a family course widely, so please participate any time!
- Q. I'd like to take child's picture, so can I take a camera to a river?
- To take a camera to a river has a high possibility that it's lost, so we don't recommend you so much. When losing it at the way I'd like to take at any cost, requesting by self-responsibility. Our tour guide takes a camera to the river and take about 30-40 pictures! The picture taken on the river at the end of a tour you can check them, you can buy the CD-R.
- Q. Even if we are not a family group, can we participate in?
- Of course you can participate! It's the gentlest course of Yoshino River in Shikoku. Rafting is the course which is also recommended to the first one. Please also enjoy rafting as sightseeing! Do you touch other family and are you a relative at the end of a tour?
