Must do! - What an amazing way to experience Japan. The rafting was so Much fun. Our guides Milan and Roshan did a great job. We had perfect weather and swimming in the river and jumping off the cliffs were a great way to cool off.

Absolute blast,... - Absolute blast, definitely better than the river boats. You get a chance to cliff jump and swim and they take plenty of pictures for free. Milan was a great guide

Rapids, cliff diving, and monkeys…OH MY! - 100% recommend. Milan, our tour guide, was kind, funny, and safe. He made this an incredibly memorable experience for my three boys and me. We saw wild monkeys, hawks, and turtles, and the rapids themselves were never dangerous. We even took a break and jumped from a cliff three meters above the water. Remember to hold your nose! Great job, Milan. You are an excellent tour guide, and an even better human being.
