Duration
Paddling tours are 2 hours (including preparation).
Longer paddling tours of 3-4 hours are also available for Lake Kuttara. On this tour, we will paddle to a secluded beach and relax, swim etc.
Difficulty
For beginners, I give a demonstration on how to use the paddleboard.
Paddleboarding is very easy as it is light. That said, wind can make it a bit harder so some upper body strength is needed.
We will only paddle in suitable conditons.

For the paddling spots mentioned above, prices are as follows:
- 1 person – ¥15,000

Paddleboards, paddles, wet shoes and lifejackets are provided.
You will need swim wear, spare clothes and a towel. If you have your own sandals, then you are welcome to use them.

If you have your own transportation, you can meet me at the paddling location.
If you are staying in Noboribetsu, I can pick you up and drop off at your hotel etc.
