釧路に行ったら湿原のカヌー!と決めていました。しかし、前日到着してからのネット予約でした。駄目もとでしたが、ちゃんと連絡をいただきました。 異例の暑さのなか11:00からのコースだったので鳥を見る事は、ほぼあきらめていました。 しかし、自然を体感することは充分できました。何より独りで漕いでくれたスタッフさんとの会話が楽しかった!ワイルドな釧路愛にあふれる話が聞けました。 出発・到着をチームで分担されていたので、皆さんの名前やニックネームが分かればよかったなと思います。

天気も曇りで暑くなくとても気候が良く気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんの知識が豊富で湿原についてたくさん知ることができ楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。長女、次女は漕ぐのも野生動物を見るのもとても楽しんでいました。短いパドルもあり自分も漕いだ気になれよかったみたいです。何より家族みんなで1艇のカヌーに乗れたのがよかったです。 三女は途中に会える動物よりも、事務所にいた馬のポコちゃんが気に入ったみたいで、カヌーよりも長い時間、餌をあげていました。そこから帰る時も馬に乗りに行こうか?でようやく気持ちを切り替え帰る気になったほどポコちゃんが気に入ったみたいです。今でもポコちゃんをお家で飼いたいと言っています。
