In the everlasting summer paradise of Ishigaki Island, one of the subtropical Yaeyama Islands located in the southernmost part of Japan, you can enjoy the brilliant sun and sea breeze in summer and relax in moderate temperatures even in winter with a cruising tour.
In this issue, we will introduce the appeal of cruising tours that can be enjoyed on Ishigaki Island!
Feel the extraordinary and relaxing atmosphere in Ishigaki Island
Cruising in Ishigaki Island, Japan's southernmost resort island, will give you an extraordinary and dreamy time.
The clean, clear air, the occasional pleasant sea breeze, and the beautiful sea and sky stretching across the entire field of view. Leaning against the boat's edge and simply watching the scenery flow by is a dreamlike experience that allows you to forget about the busyness of everyday life.
It's nice to forget about the usual worries of work and relationships and feel a moment that can only be experienced now, thinking about the sun and the clouds going by.
The cruise tour is also recommended as a time to detoxify your mind as you feel the sea breeze and sway on the boat while viewing the panoramic landscape of Ishigaki Island where there is nothing but nature as far as the eye can see!
The main activity of Ishigaki Island cruising tour is to enjoy the nature such as sunset and starry sky slowly on the boat, so everyone from children as young as 0 years old to the elderly can participate in the tour.
This is the perfect activity for families who have come all the way to Ishigaki Island but can't find an activity that everyone can participate in...".
Some ships also have sofas and lavatories on board.
It is a great place to get together with friends, family, or loved ones over juice or drinks while enjoying the beautiful scenery, and to talk about things that you would not normally be able to do.
Ishigaki Island offers one of the best sunset times in Japan.
Why don't you watch the sun set on the horizon of the emerald green ocean of Ishigaki Island from the cruise ship?
You can take a boat ride, have a drink, and just wait for the sun to slowly set... The sunset is much bigger and darker than the sunset from the beach or hotel, and it will stay with you forever.
The sky changes from its original blue to azure and golden, and as night falls, it changes from green to deep blue...you can slowly enjoy the changes in color that represent the passage of time.
Recommended for special occasions such as anniversaries!
A cruise on a ship is a great way for two people to spend a special time together on the ship, and is recommended for anniversaries such as birthdays, honeymoons, and anniversaries.
Why not spend a special time in a different atmosphere on your special day or memorable occasion?
I was healed by the World Heritage scenery...and my heart was refreshed by the quiet flow of the mangroves. The relaxing time on Yubu Island was also a wonderful time that made me forget my daily fatigue.
First, a boat ride through the mangroves, and next, a buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island. We were able to sightsee efficiently along the timeline, and it was a fulfilling day! Lunch was also delicious.
The mangroves were so powerful and the buffalo on Yubu Island were so cute! I was so excited all day long! If you're not sure which one to choose, you should definitely do this one! Highly recommended!
I felt that the cost performance was quite good as we could efficiently visit the sights of Ishigaki in one day. The lunch was delicious and the transportation was smooth. If I had to say something, it would have been perfect if we could have spent a little more time at each sightseeing spot, but overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.
At first I was worried about my stamina for the long tour, but thanks to the guide's consideration, I was able to enjoy the tour without any difficulty until the end. The mangrove cruise and the buffalo cart on Yubu Island were both great and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this tour to beginners.
The schedule was good. Furthermore, the fact that lunch was buffet style was very good. I was very disappointed because I had been on another tour that included lunch and was served a lunch box that had been left out. The level of food is a big point in a tour with lunch. However, I think it was more a problem with Yubu Island than with the tour, but the route guidance was very confusing. If you go straight to the destination, you often end up at a dead end. I hope this will be improved. It is also a shame that the free shuttle bus is no longer available.
