The boats at Takachiho Gorge are rowboats, not cruises, and you do the rowing yourself for half an hour under the 17-metre Manai Falls. Get close to the waterfall but not under it, and wear something you don’t mind getting spray on.
See Aso’s volcanic country, Kusasenri grassland and Takachiho Gorge on a long day trip from Fukuoka, with an optional rowboat ride.
