Everything you need is free to rent, so you can come empty-handed! This canoe tour is perfect for anything you want. Lake Poroto is a place where people have lived together as part of nature since ancient times. Although it is a small lake with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, it is a very rich lake packed with waterside nature such as forests, marshes, sand, swamps, and rivers. Take a leisurely canoe ride around Lake Poroto while listening to all about its nature, culture, and history! This is the plan. Lake Poroto is rich in nutrients brought from the mountains, and is home to many birds, fish, and animals, or where they visit in search of food. The scenery also changes drastically with each season, with skunk cabbage in spring, water lilies in summer, autumn leaves, and snow-covered snow in winter, so visitors never get bored. For those who want to leave the navigation to the guide and enjoy the lake at their own pace, we have not only Canadian canoes, but also air canoes with double paddles for those who want to paddle themselves! The meeting point is within walking distance of Upopoy, so it is very accessible! Why not enjoy Hokkaido's nature to your heart's content?

Even if you are a first-time canoeer, you can go down the Bibi River straight away. It is a very wonderful field that is hard to find even in Japan. The guide will ride in a separate canoe from the customer, and the customer will steer the canoe alone and leisurely descend through the marshes with many waterfowl. During the tour, while listening to the history of the Bimi River and the Ainu from the guide, as well as learning about canoeing, it will be a tour where you can experience canoeing. In addition, sockeye salmon run upstream from late July to autumn. If you can bring it closer, you can see it from the top of the canoe. The field is near New Chitose Airport, and you can see the Bimi River from the sky when planes take off and land. "The tour was fun, but I don't have any pictures!" I'm here. [Tour recommendation 1, 2, 3] ① The river flows slowly, and even if it is deep, it is about the waist of an adult, so it is safe because it is a very shallow river. Canoes are also not carpooled. Aside from ②, there are few travel photos! ! Gateway Tours presents tour photos as data! ! You cannot take a picture of you riding a canoe from inside the canoe. A photo of you riding a canoe is a lifetime memory photo. This service is only available at Gateway Tours! The photos alone are worth attending. (3) The guides are certified outdoor master guides certified by the governor of Hokkaido, as well as other guide, rescue, and first aid qualifications. *If you are a family, please apply from [Bimikawa Kids Canoe], which is cheaper https://activityjapan.com/publish/plan/13224

Canoeing and kayaking are popular waterside activities. And in the Sapporo area, which is blessed with water resources such as the Ishikari River, there are many waterfronts that you can get close to. Nonetheless, it may be difficult to play alone, and it may be difficult to assess the risks of playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy rowing a calm river or flat lake surface with a tool called "paddle" with a board called "blade" on both ends. The hull is designed to be inflated with air, so it has excellent mobility and transportability, and when deflated, it becomes smaller than a tent, making it a compact vehicle that can be easily transported even in a passenger car. Of course, the hull, which is the buoyancy body, has a multi-chamber structure, and even if one buoyancy cannot be secured, other buoyancy bodies will back it up, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. In this plan, the maximum number of boats managed by the guide in charge is reduced under the environment of with corona, so you can enjoy the inflatable kayak experience almost privately. Especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give you a thorough lecture on how to maneuver the boat at the beginning, so please do not worry. Surrounded by nature, the area around the Chitose River is in harmony with nature, with red-crowned cranes inhabiting the reservoir, making it the perfect place for convenience and refreshment!! The chirping of birds, the presence of great egrets and gray herons, the movement of carp and crucian carp hiding in the roots of reeds, and the shoals of salmon that come upstream in the autumn will surely arouse your interest. During warmer months, it might be fun to look underwater with water glasses. After the experience, please relax in Naganuma Town, which is the departure and arrival base. There are many attractive foods in the town, such as delicious farm restaurants, traditional Genghis Khan, soft serve ice cream with plenty of milk. Also, it would be nice to warm up your cold body at "Naganuma Onsen", and a day camp is also recommended. (Please contact us for tent rental)

Canoeing and kayaking are popular waterside activities. However, the threshold may be high to play alone suddenly. Also, it may be difficult for first-time players to assess the risks involved in playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy paddling calm rivers and flat lakes. The hull is inflatable with air, so it has excellent mobility, transportability, and storage. Inflating with air is also completed in about 5 minutes per boat with a pump that draws electricity from the cigarette lighter socket of the car. In this plan, you can enjoy an inflatable kayak experience in a private sense at "Tobetsu Owl Lake" in Tobetsu Town, a town next to Sapporo. Due to the COVID-19 environment, the number of boats per tour is limited, so it is especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give you a thorough lecture on how to maneuver the boat at the beginning, so please do not worry. However, the basics are all about paddling and learning, and you can get used to the basic movements in about 30 minutes, so you can enjoy paddling to your heart's content except for the minimum lecture. Enjoying the regenerated Ishikari River basin surrounded by nature, nature from the coast of the Sea of Japan, and dam lakes surrounded by dense forests is the best way to refresh yourself!! The chirping of birds such as this, and the movement of carp and crucian carps hiding in the roots of the reeds will surely arouse your interest. Depending on the season, you may also be able to see the white-tailed eagle, which is a natural monument. Why don't you take this opportunity to get familiar with water?

A popular canoe and kayak for activities that can be enjoyed by the water. However, it may be difficult to play individually. Also, it may be difficult for first-time users to evaluate the risks of playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy paddling on a relatively flat lake surface. Since the hull is a type that can be inflated with air, it has excellent maneuverability, transportability, and storability. It is smaller than a tent when it is deflated, and it is a compact vehicle that can be easily carried by a passenger car. Moreover, the rigidity of the hull is higher than the rubber boat you can imagine, so you can stand and ride depending on how you ride. With this plan, you can enjoy inflatable kayak touring in a private sense on the north side of Bokyo Bridge of "Tobetsu Owl Lake" in Tobetsu Town, which is north of Sapporo. Under the environment of Wiz Corona, the number of boats per event is limited, so it is especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give a lecture on the basic maneuvering method, so please be assured even if you are new to the ship. Basically, it is a course that goes around the north side of the lake. You can row through landscapes like floating islands and dead trees, observe birds in shallow water, and depending on the season, white-tailed eagles live. Enjoying the dam lake surrounded by thick forests in the Aoyama area, which was originally a farmland, is also a great refreshment! The movements of carp and crucian carp will also be intriguing. Why don't you take this opportunity to get familiar with water?
