Ishigaki Island Mangrove Kayak (Canoe) Tour

I had such a wonderful time stand-up paddleboarding during the day on my last visit to Ishigaki Island, so this time I returned to enjoy this tour that lets you experience the sunset. Paddling along the calm sea at dusk was incredibly relaxing, and no matter how many times I visit, I’m always moved by the island’s natural beauty. I had another wonderful time this time around.

Watching the sunrise on a quiet beach early in the morning completely cleansed my soul. I felt deeply healed as I gazed at the sky and sea bathed in the sunrise from my SUP… It was a wonderful, unforgettable experience—a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and soak up the power of Ishigaki Island’s great outdoors with my whole body.

My wife and I did this as part of our trip together. Paddling the canoe in perfect sync as we glided leisurely across the sea at sunset, which was turning a deep crimson, was a truly blissful experience. We were soothed by the gentle sound of the waves and were able to share a peaceful moment together, forgetting all about our daily lives. We even received some wonderful photos for free—it was an activity that left us completely satisfied.

If you want to enjoy both sightseeing and activities on Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend this package! After spending some relaxing time on Taketomi Island, you can paddle a SUP down a mangrove-lined river and soak in the beauty of nature♪ You’ll even get free photos and round-trip transportation, so it’s a worry-free experience—be sure to give it a try on your next trip!☆

I wasn’t confident in my physical stamina and was worried about whether I could enjoy both hiking and SUP, but thanks to the staff’s wonderful support, even a beginner like me was able to manage just fine. We took a leisurely paddle through the mangroves along the Fukidori River, and the breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view from the summit of Nosoko Marpe was so beautiful it took my breath away. I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

Landing on the "Phantom Island" was absolutely amazing!! No matter where I looked—360 degrees around—the deep blue ocean stretched out before me, and I was totally hyped!!! The SUP tour through the mangroves felt like a true nature adventure and was seriously fun!! ★ The photos are free, and they even provide transportation—they really thought of everything! I definitely want to go back!!!
