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
