こちらのツアーに参加しました。地域クーポンが使えるツアーが限られており、こちらは対応していたので申込ましたが、結論としては、クーポン利用だったので致し方ないと思えましたが、通常の支払では参加しないと思います。ガイドの男性の説明は早く、あまり理解できないうちに出発となりました。並走はしてもらえず、ガイドは先に行ってしまいますので、遠くの方から指示を受けてカヌーを漕いでいる感じでした。また、コースは海と交わる急流からスタートのため、かなり体力を消耗しました。カヌーが初めての初心者には厳しいと思います。クーポンが利用できるということで選びましたがもう少し吟味すれば良かったです。申込時の対応と終わった後の支払いの時は親切でした。
