Rafting

When the snow begins to melt in Niseko, the rivers come alive for rafting! Enjoy the beauty of Niseko while you navigate rapids on the Shiribetsu River. Spring is the best season for rafting and with dry suits you won't have to worry about the icy water. For a milder experience, summer offers the perfect mix of gentle rapids and stretches of beautiful scenery and swimming spots.

Kayaking

Rafting is a great introduction to river sports and is highly recommended for first timers. However, if you are a river sports enthusiast kayaking is possible in Niseko as well. The Shiribetsu river is well suited to kayaking and SAS Adventure Tours can provide both the boats and guides necessary to safely experience the river.

Safety

The Shiribetsu river is quite safe for rafting, but it is important to book with a local outdoor company and guide. We recommend booking a tour with SAS adventure tours, which offers professional services. Rafting tours include all of the safety equipment you will need, a professional guide, and pre-trip safety instructions. So feel free to take the whole family for what will be an unforgettable experience!
