This well-rounded package lets you enjoy everything from SUP and canoeing in Kabira Bay to snorkeling at the Blue Cave. The best part is that it includes dinner after a full day of exploring the beautiful ocean unique to Ishigaki Island. The dinner, featuring lobster and Ishigaki beef, adds a special touch, making this the perfect itinerary for travelers looking for an active getaway.

My girlfriend and I went together. We chose to go canoeing in Kabira Bay, and the scenery was amazing—it was so much fun just paddling around! We were thrilled to see colorful fish while snorkeling. We played around quite a bit, so we were pretty tired, but finishing off the day with delicious lobster and Ishigaki beef was such a treat, haha. I’d love to do it again!

I had a wonderful day exploring Ishigaki Island! At Kabira Bay, I had a hard time keeping my balance on the SUP at first, but once I got the hang of it, it felt amazing. I was also blown away by the crystal-clear waters while snorkeling at the Blue Cave. To top it all off, I enjoyed dinner at a stylish seaside restaurant—I couldn’t have asked for more!
t
I was a little worried about whether I’d have the stamina for a full-day tour, but the guide provided such great support that our whole family was able to enjoy it right to the very end. Both Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave had crystal-clear, absolutely stunning waters. The itinerary was perfect: after a packed day of activities, a delicious dinner awaited us at a restaurant near the beach starting at 6:00 p.m. The food was top-notch, and it turned out to be a trip that left both adults and children thoroughly satisfied.
noti
It was the perfect full-day tour that let me fully enjoy all of Ishigaki Island’s famous sights in just one day! The SUP session at Kabira Bay was absolutely breathtaking—the location was incredible. Snorkeling at the Blue Cave also felt like an adventure and was so much fun. Dinner after a full day of physical activity was truly special—savoring luxurious Ishigaki beef and lobster at a lovely seaside restaurant was a moment of pure bliss. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone looking to have a fulfilling day.

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—🤭

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!

Participate in Real Catan on a spectacular beach in Ishigaki Island. The game on the beautiful sandy beach was a great success! By collecting resources while picking up trash, we were able to contribute to environmental protection of the island. The photos we had taken are also wonderful memories.
