Amazing mangroves discovery with Hiroki! - The canoe route was beautiful and relaxing, offering a unique way to explore Ishigaki’s iconic mangroves. Everything was smooth and well organized, making it easy to just enjoy the moment. Our guide, Hiroki, was knowledgeable and very encouraging throughout the experience. A wonderful experience I’d gladly do again!

Nice canoe experience in Ishigaki’s mangrove - 本当にありがとうございます! It was a very nice canoe tour with Makoto-さん. She is a very friendly and supporting guide. She also gave many interesting information about the mangrove and happily answered all our questions. This is a nice experience to try in Ishigaki!

Ishigakijima mangrove - Beginners may be a little cumbersome. I'm a beginner myself and I get used to going there quickly, even though it's a bit tricky!! You're free to ride alone or two. We went along the Miyara River. (I was doing it for about an hour sensually) Be careful with the clothes below, they may get wet. The guide is easy to talk to! I want to use it again when I come back to Ishigaki Island! Recommended for those who like nature personally

Our guide Hiroki was... - Our guide Hiroki was awesome. He made the whole experience enjoyable and fun. He spoke in both English and Japanese as we were a mixed group but he never made anyone feel left out. We learned fun facts about mangroves and its history. He also helped us take photos for free and they came out great! Just note that your socks will be drenched and the boots they give you are not waterproof. Also make sure to bring water and use the bathroom beforehand.

Even my older siblings had a lot of fun! - “I was nervous about it because it was my first canoe, but my guide Sugi-chan was very friendly and kind to me. Adults and children alike are excited when going through mangrove tunnels! The river has no waves, so there are few tremors, and I was able to spend a relaxing time. I was happy to take a lot of photos and get the data.

Canoeing the Mangrove - Akari was our tour operator and she was very friendly and accommodating. She shared a lot of fun facts about the region and kept the group entertained and enthused. The canoeing experience was seamless for us and the two kids. Thanks to her and the team for taking awesome photos of us! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing canoe experience to the Mangrove!

Hilling's Time Jungle Canoe~ - The feeling of knitting between the dwarfs is Hilling's time~ It was lucky when the clouds stopped the sun. There is no shade, hats are necessary on hot days. It was a pleasant tour thanks to the friendly and clean guide Akari. We were the only foreigners and we were grateful for explaining in English for us. I asked a lot of questions, but I laughed and answered them without bothering. Thank you. ♡

Full marks for service and experience - It was my first time playing SUP, about 90 minutes, and it was a great experience. The location is in the Miyara River, flanked by mangroves, beautiful scenery, and a lot of unknown birds, the water is not deep so safe. We had 7 people in attendance at the same time and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. SUP is really easy, coach Akari's instructions are meticulous and will be mastered soon. The coach also showed us the nature of the Miyara River and the mangrove forests along the coast, which was very rewarding. Thank you so much Akari for driving me downtown after the end and she introduced local specialty restaurants along the way, really super thoughtful arrangements!

Ishigaki Mangrove Canoe or SUP & Explore Taketomi Island - The canoeing or kayaking experience tour was amazing because the guide explained a lot. However, it was a pity that I was unable to participate in Taketomi Island, which was included in the set, due to the flight back. The estimated time was 3 hours, but I think there was no misunderstanding if you clearly stated that only canoe or kayak is 3 hours (Taketomi Island sightseeing takes an additional time).
