A long-awaited dog-only plan for dog lovers! Because it is a charter plan, you can play without worrying about other customers. *Some photos show a bicycle on a packraft (rubber boat), but this plan is for river rafting only and does not include cycling. "I'm planning a trip to Shimanto, but there are no companies that can play with my dog!" This plan is perfect for those who want to enjoy the nature of the Shimanto River with their dog! Shimanto River is the only charter plan exclusively for dogs. It is planned under the supervision of “One Life,” which operates dog runs and dog cafes in Shimanto City. Leave all the trouble to the guide! So basically you can enjoy it empty-handed. The basic charge is for up to 2 people + 1 dog. If you would like to add more participants or dogs, please select the option. Due to the availability of Okera Adventures vehicles, guests must use their own vehicle for groups of 4 or more. Please make a provisional reservation first. Children with a height of 85 cm and above can be accommodated. Please consult first.
1日1組で行ってくれる川下りだった為、 子供も愛犬もいて、ドタバタでしたが 誰に気兼ねする事なくとても楽しめました。 愛犬はボートに乗ってる時間より 泳ぐ時間が長かったですが、 臨機応変に対応してもらい 安心して泳がせてあげられました。 四万十川の自然も素晴らしく 中洲でのランチも最高でした。 関東から遥々 行った甲斐がありました。 また、行きたいです。

It is a plan to simply go down the river on a chartered tour. The Shimanto River and, if you are lucky, the tributary Kuroson River, which is cleaner than the main stream, will also be shown (depending on the amount of water). Children are welcome (from around 85 cm tall), so it is possible to go down the river while playing in the river. "Shimanto River is hard to come by, but the distance and time to go down the river is short! I want to play for a long time!" "I want to enjoy the freedom of a chartered tour!" I want to drift down the Shimanto River!” *You can even take a nap on the river. !” is the perfect plan for those who say. Leave all the trouble to the guide! So, basically, you can enjoy it empty-handed if you wear clothes that are suitable for the season and are suitable for exercise. The basic charge is for up to 2 people. Due to the availability of Okera Adventures vehicles, the maximum number of people is basically 3, but if you would like to participate with more people, please contact us. Please make a provisional reservation first. Children from around 85 cm tall can be accommodated. Please consult first.

Super maniac! Japan's only bicycle + river rafting tour! Play as much as you like all day long! (If you wish, from sunrise to sunset) All by yourself! Cycling is easy if you rent an E-BIKE! Safely support and guide your adventures. Cycle the Shimanto River and go up the river while crossing subsidence bridges, and go down the river with your bicycle from your favorite place according to the season and weather conditions! You can buy lunch and eat it on the river, or if the timing is right, you can go up the river and eat local Shimanto River cuisine! (Lunch is at your own expense), and you can have an adventure that fits your taste and physical fitness. You can enjoy the whole day, or you can finish it in a short time with only the delicious parts. The basic route is fixed, but everything depends on your request as an adventurer! (I can't do more than the guide's physical strength lol) It is an adventure where a local guide ensures safety and explains various wild birds, fish, and local culture. In addition, if you do not fail, we will give you photos during the guide and plotted GPS data on the map (data of the trajectory you traveled and navigated). Basically, we will send it within 2 hours after the end of the guided tour. Please refrain from excessive expectations for the quality of the photos as we will guide you in one operation and ensure safety. If you want, please add one by selecting the children's set from the options. Up to 2 children can participate. As a guideline, people between 125 cm and 145 cm in height (if you can ride a 24-inch bicycle, you are OK, if you can ride a 26-inch bicycle or more, you are considered an adult).
四万十川と黒尊川の合流付近〜川登大橋をバイクで登り、カヌーで下りました。 「上流〜中流の変化を見たい」という無茶なオーダーに応えて、支流から本流への合流を体験させていただき大満足でした! 下から地層や橋梁を見上げたり、のんびり川原の石を物色したり、ジオ旅としても素晴らしかったです。 電動バイクのアシストが頼もしく、日頃スポーツをしている訳ではないですが1日元気に楽しめました。帰ると疲れがどっと出ますので、直後は予定を入れないことをオススメします笑
