Rafting is the most popular activity in Niseko and something you must try at least once. Spring is the best time to try one of these tours due to the snow melt causing the rivers to swell. In the summer, you can enjoy both rafting and swimming together. All rafters wear life jackets, so you can enjoy the river even if you can't swim. Experienced guides will show you all the safety aspects and skills for rafting and having a great time.
