Recommendation
Clothing and personal belongings
(1) Towel
A towel to wipe your body wet with water or sweat is essential. Prepare several absorbent towels. A sports towel or bath towel for after activities is also a good idea.
(2) Hat
A hat is a good idea. A hat will protect you in case of sudden rain. A hat with a string is recommended to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a necessity because the sun on Ishigaki Island is very strong.
(4) Clothing that can get wet
Canoeing basically gets you wet, so be sure to wear a bathing suit or clothing that you don't mind getting wet.

I attended on November 23, 2025.
The weather was great, and it was amazing to see the scenery of Ura-Kawachi Bay and the changing colors of the ocean. 😀
Our guide, Hina (No. 17), gave us an entertaining tour, weaving in all sorts of trivia along the way—🤭

The mangrove canoe trip was such a great memory!
I really enjoyed learning some fun facts about mangroves.
I look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises.

It was the first time both my child and I had tried SUP, but the guide was so kind and patient in teaching us that we had a great time!
It was a shame that it was such a cloudy day, but all the photos you took turned out beautifully.
I'm not very good at water sports, but this was such a great experience that I'd like to try stand-up paddleboarding again.

Okay
I had a blast on my first trip to Ishigaki!
I’ll focus my comments on how things were handled during the tour.
●Reason for Participating
Because I’m not familiar with safety precautions at the beach or the locations of snorkeling spots. For those who aren’t used to it, taking a tour is safer, and you can leave the scheduling to the tour operators. It’s also convenient that you can rent equipment, so you don’t have to bring anything from home.
●About the Tour
The Kawahira Bay SUP and Blue Cave tours are booked as a package.
Since we had to return to the Euglena Terminal at noon, the 30-minute one-way travel time (2 hours total) was a bit of a hassle. Each activity on-site lasted one hour. I would have liked a little more time for snorkeling, but I guess that depends on how much energy I have.
●Tour Guide
Although I had different guides in the morning and afternoon, they were all very friendly and great at telling stories! They shared tips on Ishigaki’s best food and sights. Since their recommendations are based on firsthand experience, you can’t go wrong with any of the places they suggest.
●About the Company
I was surprised to see about 30 people gathered at the meeting point, but we split into groups of four or five cars per route and set off. You can’t really tell what a company is like just from the registration process, but it was reassuring to see that it was a large company. There were some international participants as well, but they seemed well-accustomed to the process, and everything went smoothly.
[Summary]
When it comes to tours, peace of mind is the most important thing, isn't it?
In that regard, it's definitely a winner—I highly recommend it!
With so many tours to choose from, I’m so glad I chose pipi!

Company Trip A
I participated in this event as part of my company's CSR activities and was very satisfied with the experience. I felt that directly contributing to the environmental preservation of Ishigaki Island through the beach cleanup was an initiative of high social significance. It was also great that the game format of collecting trash and canoeing equipment allowed all team members to have fun and work together seriously. In particular, the situations in which we were required to negotiate and cooperate with other teams gave us the opportunity to discover a new side of ourselves that we do not see in our daily work.
This program, which allowed us to experience SDG activities and strengthen teamwork, was a learning and stimulating experience for all employees and a very valuable time for the company. I would definitely like to participate again!

As secretary, I decided to do something different, so I joined.
I highly recommend it because you can enjoy using both your head and body on the beach!
It was a lot of fun to work together as a team to achieve our goals.
Thank you very much.

They were very attentive from the preliminary meeting, which was very reassuring for a first-time organizer of a company trip.
I am very happy with the day and the enjoyment for myself and everyone else. Thank you very much.
