Traveller reviews
Kayaking with coffee and the best views of Mount Fuji was a great experience, well worth an early morning start! Grahame was an excellent guide and gave us a good introduction to the area, plus recommendations on other cool sports to explore. Highly recommend this activity!
We had a great time out on the lake with our guide! Fuji refused to make an appearance from behind the clouds but it was still a fantastic experience and totally worth it!! Definitely would recommend.
We had a great time kayaking on Lake Kawaguchiko with Grahame. He was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the local region. The kayaking was a peaceful experience and a great start to our morning. He also had some good recommendations for other things to do in the area
Gram was absolutely awesome! He taught us about the historical background of Mt. Fuji and lake Kawaguchiko. We already knew how to Kayak but he was very knowledgeable about Kayaking and general safety as well as water survival. I highly recommend this activity if you're staying near lake Kawaguchiko.
Our first time kayaking on Lake Kawaguchiko with my two daughters, aged 8 and 13, was such a fun and memorable experience! We really enjoyed learning how to coordinate and work together as a team. Grahame was very friendly, patient, and a great guide, showing us how to enjoy kayaking at our own pace. What touched us most was the peaceful beauty of the lake and mountains around us. Paddling through the calm water allowed us to slow down, enjoy the silence, and truly feel connected with nature. We loved every moment of it and would definitely love to come back and do it again!
We had a great experience kayaking close to mount Fuji and learning about the history and culture of the region.
Really recommend this tour! Grahame is highly knowledgeable of the history of Fuji as well as Japanese culture. He’s also very friendly and a great photographer! Our group had a lovely time on Kawaguchiko enjoying the peaceful water and stunning views of Fuji-san. Excellent value and a fun experience!
This was a great way to spend the morning! The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fun facts about Japan and Mount Fuji. It was an amazing way to enjoy the lake. 10/10 would recommend!
