| About a tour: River bugging |
 |
tPlease come to the Base Camp at the Seta River by the
scheduled time.
※ Registration will commence from 15 minutes before the
scheduled meeting time.
All participating guests will fill out the
necessary forms and change into bathers etc. After changing clothes, the
equipment to be used on the tour will be distributed.
When everyone has
arrived, our company car will come to pick up everyone and take them to the
start point. |
 |
After we arrive at the start point, first we will go through
procedures for safety, how to use the equipment, how to recover after being
flipped over etc.
After the explanation we jump in the river and do some
practice!
After practicing we slowly float down the river playing games as we
approach the rapids!
|
 |
 |
Before long we will reach the rapids! You might be spinning
a lot, so hold on tight! The water's surface is right beneath you so you get to
experience the full force of the river! If you don't want to flip over, try to
avoid the big waves; on the hand if you want to try to flip over, try crashing
through them!
|
 |
 |
If you can't get back on your river bugging by yourself, the group guide
will help you. After we pass the first waves, it's calm again until the
next set. We can also join together and take on the waves together! |
 |
 |
After the rapids, the river basically becomes calm
again.
As we repeat the game from earlier, we head towards the finish
point.
After the tour has finished, we will take a commemorative
photo.
From the finishing area, we will return by car to the gathering place.
After changing clothes the group breaks up. |
After the tour, the photo we took can be downloaded from the facebook.
If you don't want your photo to appear on the website, please inform staff.<m(__)m> |
