Akagi Spring Only 1 Day Rafting

« Back to list
Basic
The one day rafting tour at Akagi runs only in spring to take advantage of the high water level caused by the snow melt from the local mountains. When the river is raging the tour can avail itself of a course a massive 30 kilometres in length with some great sections of white water. The river down by Akagi is really picturesque and as rafting tours go it is one of the most pretty sections you will ever run. This natural theme is continued over lunch with a delicious lunch of local, fresh organic vegetables.
