Once we were briefed and dressed in our wetsuits, jackets, helmets and life vests we were good to go! The actual rafting time was about an hour and a half. At one point we stopped and did some cliff jumping. Thank goodness we had really thick wetsuits because the water was cold! It was all mountain runoff water that collects in the Minakami canyon.
They have a photographer that takes pictures at various points along the way and then of course sells you the photos, but they got some good ones. Here are my favorites:
After rafting we had lunch, a celebratory chu-hi and then hit the road again back to Zama. We got lots of info so that we can go back when the guys get back from deployment. Most of the instructors were from New Zealand so there is no language barrier. They had lots of other tours you could do like canyoning, parasailing, caving, etc. Can't wait to go back!

How cool! Glad you are keeping yourself busy while Glenn is gone!
Rock the heck on, Kelly! I don't think I would have been quite as stoic about the frigid mountain runoff.
