アラフィフ川に飛び込む!
Posted Date: 2025/11/04
かずさん
今回は はじめてのカヤック、トラッキング、キャニオニングを体験しました。
想像以上の険しい山道を登り歩き、さらに想像以上の高さからの川へのダイブ数回!
ちょっと怖い場面もありましたがどれもスリル満点の楽しい経験わ想い出となりました。親切、丁寧なカズさんのサポートのおかげで怪我なく楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました😊

こんにちは!
空風のかずやです。

この度は素敵な口コミをありがとうございます。
ツアー楽しんでいただけたみたいで嬉しく思います!

初めてでカヤック・トレッキング・キャニオニングの全部に挑戦なんて、本当にアクティブで勇気があるともいますよ👏
険しい山道や高い場所からのダイブは怖いですが、その分スリルも達成感も大きかったと思います。

またいつでも、西表島へ遊びにいらしてくださいね。
またお互いに元気でお会いできる日を楽しみにしております!!
