Kayak tour starting from the end of the road!
This course starts from the end of the road “Shirahama Port”. From here onwards it is a jungle and there is no road, so you can not walk forward.
To meet Nara falls, you need about 2 hours of kayaking and 30 minutes of hiking.
In kayaking, we go up the river surrounded by mangroves and travel to the back of the island. When you get off the kayak and walk for about 30 minutes, you are hearing the sound of water from afar.
This course is the hardest of our tours, but you can enjoy a long distance kayak. And you will get much excitement and a great, lasting impression.
