User_emsn / 30's Posted on: August 2026

I wasn’t confident in my physical fitness and was worried about whether I could enjoy both the ocean and the river, but thanks to the staff’s attentive support, even a beginner like me had no trouble. I was soothed by nature during the gentle mangrove SUP tour on the Miyara River, and I was moved by the beautiful ocean at the Blue Cave. If I had to mention one thing, my arms got a little tired from the SUP, so it might be best to go at your own pace. The included transportation made me feel at ease.

We started with a mangrove SUP tour on the Miyara River. As we paddled along the tranquil river at our own pace, we could truly feel the grandeur of nature firsthand. Next, we headed to the Blue Cave, where we went snorkeling to observe the colorful fish. It was a very fulfilling itinerary that allowed us to experience both the ocean and the river in a single day. The free transportation and photo services were also much appreciated.
