Phantom Island of Ishigaki IslandTour Reviews and Testimonials
unexplored
We joined a mangrove canoe tour and a coral reef viewing tour in the afternoon!
It was my first canoeing experience, but the guide gave me a detailed lecture so I felt safe! It was also my first time to see mangroves up close, so it was a great experience!
In the evening, we went to see the sagaribana, which I had longed to see! The flowers smelled so good, and I was so glad to see so many of them in bloom!
I will ask for your help again when I travel to Ishigaki Island!

The view of the subtropical forest from the water and the encounter with rare flowers for one night only were impressive. It was a memorable experience to witness a special moment woven by nature. Above all, the guide's explanation was very good.

I had never heard of sagaribana, but the guide of the tour I joined yesterday recommended it and I had to join the tour on short notice.
There were many blooms, and they seemed to really disperse overnight, with many falling to the ground.
The mangroves and the tour were both enjoyable, and the break in between allowed us to have dinner, which made for a good day.
Tomorrow is the last day in Ishigaki Island, but I will enjoy it until the end!

While researching a trip to Ishigaki Island, I learned about the "sagaribana", a flower that blooms only in tropical countries. Since my trip was just around the time of the blooming season of the sagaribana, I booked this tour because I really wanted to see it!
I had experienced canoeing in the mangroves before, but this time I chose sap as a new challenge. Although it was more challenging than canoeing, I was able to try standing paddle thanks to the careful guidance and support of the guide.
The sagaribana, which I had longed to see, was illuminated, and I enjoyed a very mysterious and fantastic view. Furthermore, the guide was very knowledgeable about Ishigaki Island and gave us a lot of useful information for the next day's sightseeing.
It was a wonderful trip to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much!

The Beach Sports Day on Ishigaki Island was a lot of fun and recreation on the island's spectacular beaches, and both adults and children had a great time! Not only the competition but also the trash pickup time was a great way to form a feeling of gratitude for the island. I was also personally happy to receive a photo as a gift!â

The Sports Day on Ishigaki Island allowed us to enhance team unity while moving our bodies to the fullest in the midst of nature. In the inter-team competitions, communication naturally deepened as participants talked and strategized with their peers and realized the importance of teamwork.
Through the program, we were able to get to know a new side of our colleagues, which is expected to have a positive impact on our daily work. In addition, the content of the program, with its message of environmental protection, was appealing because it allowed us to contribute to SDG activities while having fun at the same time!
