I participated in the Miyara River Mangrove SUP. It was my first time and I was very anxious, but the instructor gave me a detailed lecture and I was able to complete the course without falling off. I was able to complete the tour without falling down. We were accompanied by two other foreigners, and the instructor explained in English and Japanese alternately, so it was a bit like an English conversation class, which was fun. I recommend December, depending on the weather, as the mangroves are almost completely reserved.

Paddling through the mangroves first thing in the morning was quiet and a great start to the day, but when we explored the Blue Cave in the afternoon, the adrenaline filled me. Snorkeling there was like being in a giant natural aquarium. Swimming with the wide variety of marine life is an unforgettable experience.
