Experiência de Passeio de Barco no Rio Geibikei Gorge em Iwate

It's very easy to buy boat tickets through the app, and it's slightly cheaper than at the counter. The place is beautiful. We went during autumn, and there were ducks that you could feed. It's amazing that one boatman can row for up to 50 people. On the way back, they even sang live for us. Highly recommended!

It was very easy to redeem the ticket by showing the QR code at the ticket window. It's slightly cheaper to get it online though Klook than to buy it directly from the ticket counter at the boat pier. Since there was no fix time slot for the ticket, you can simply wait for the next boat if you miss one. The flat-bottomed boats are open-topped and completely exposed to the weather, so remember to bring a hat and sunglasses. Ladies are not advised to wear skirts as some boats, like the one I was on, had seats on the floor.

非常独特而古雅的体验，您可以在乘船游览时用餐！船比我预期的要宽敞，一点也不摇晃。当船慢慢穿过峡谷时，我可以平静地享用便当和寿喜烧。导游会随着船沿溪流前行而介绍不同的景色。中途会有20分钟的短暂休息，您可以下船步行参观狮子鼻和许愿洞。总的来说，这是一次非常愉快而古雅的体验。强烈推荐搭配便当和寿喜烧套餐，让它成为一次独特而特别的体验！

這次體驗不過不失！？因為12時多抵達打算坐1時的船，又發現斧飯最後時間只到1時，所以立即跑去餐廳查問，卻被告知餐廳休息了，但我看他們在收拾團體餐，猜他們因為團餐取消了套票的客人。當時非常生氣，因為付了錢卻被告知休息了，心裡覺得安排非常差...因為有點被騙的感覺，也不知道能怎樣追討。幸好經多番查問奔跑後，套票只是被移至其他屋舍，而我們因為奔走需時被當成失約。最後餐廳還是有給我們準備餐食的。服務質素4星是因為場地的大家很盡力不厭其煩幫我解決困難，扣的1星是因為他們互相沒有溝通。不竟我扶老攜幼，把一切安排好，突然取消會很麻煩，加上溝通困難，更麻煩。而遊船方面很好玩，船慢慢走，只要乖乖坐著很安全不用穿救生衣，但看現場是有提供小孩的，但工作人員沒有特別要求穿。船夫很有趣，又唱歌又講解。

better than expected boat ride in deep winter! Boats are fully sheltered so not cold, but duck feed to feed the hungry ducks in the river. the quiet snowy scene made for a very relaxing tour. boatman (lady in our case) will explain highlights with pamphlet. get off for a 20min walk and try yr luck throwing auspicious disks into a hole in rock wall. our boat lady sang the geibi song upon return ride. she was very good! check train timing to and from Ichinoseki. not frequent so plan ahead!

非常棒的體驗，風景非常漂亮，船夫師傅仔細介紹，說話很風趣，船不快，可以慢慢欣賞風景，是非常值得去參加的活動。

great tour! very relaxing and worth if u want to look at nature! our tour guide also sang for us as part of the tour and it was pretty mesmerising. highly recommended! beautiful pictures speak for themselves.

In the transition from autumn to winter, the boats are equipped with windproof covers for warmth. You can buy feed to give to the ducklings, and they are adorable as they paddle hard, wanting to eat! The tour guide on the boat is very dedicated, introducing the sights and speaking various languages, which is very friendly. At the destination, you can buy engraved wooden pieces (like chess pieces) and throw them into the longan tree to make your wishes come true! "Ni" (猊) means lion, and this place is called Geibikei (猊鼻渓) because one of its scenic spots resembles a lion's nose. It's one of Japan's top 100 scenic spots and well worth a visit.

The boat trip experience at Geibikei Gorge in Iwate Prefecture was truly unforgettable, a slow-paced journey that allowed for a deep appreciation of nature's charm. Gliding along the clear, calm stream in a flat-bottomed boat propelled by a boatman with a long pole, the towering cliffs on both banks and the ever-changing scenery through the seasons were captivating. During the journey, the boatman not only navigated the boat but also introduced the topography and legends of Geibikei Gorge, and even sang traditional folk songs on the spot, adding a rich local cultural atmosphere. The most interesting part of the trip was the ritual of making a wish by throwing a 'lucky stone' into a hole, which added an interactive and ceremonial touch to the journey. The overall itinerary was quiet and leisurely, making it perfect for travelers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and meticulously enjoy Japan's natural landscapes. It is a highly recommended experience when visiting Iwate.

It was a long holiday in Japan, and the queue for purchasing boat tickets on-site was very long. However, by booking through Klook, we only needed to pick up our tickets at the group ticket counter, completely avoiding the queue. This saved us time and was convenient, and the price was even slightly cheaper than buying on-site. The scenery of Geibikei Gorge was indeed breathtaking. The entire boat tour experience included a 30-minute boat ride each way (to and from), with about 20 minutes in between to disembark, stroll, and take photos. Additionally, for just 100 yen, you could buy a bag of fish food to feed not only the fish but also the ducks, which was a fun experience. However, the only drawback was that it started raining just as we arrived, and the boatman thoughtfully installed a rain cover on the boat. While this reflected the meticulous service of the Japanese, it obstructed most of the view, affecting our enjoyment of the scenery. What was even more unfortunate was that the rain stopped about ten minutes after the boat departed, and subsequent boats had already removed their rain covers. So, I have a small suggestion: if you encounter a brief shower, it might be worth waiting a little longer before boarding to avoid impacting your viewing experience.
