Ishigaki Island Night ToursTour Reviews and Testimonials
pine cone
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!

I was able to see the fantastic world of light of fireflies. I was very impressed! In the car on the way to the site, our guide Ms. Misaki taught us many bird and frog sounds of Ishigaki Island, so we could enjoy listening to them while watching fireflies. On the way back, I was happy to catch a glimpse of owls and the starry sky.

We did not see any coconut crabs, probably due to the cooler temperatures in late March. However, we were entertained by the talk of the tour guide's brother. The children were also very happy. They climbed up the cliff to look for coconut crabs. Next time, I would like to come back to Ishigaki Island when it is a little warmer and have another go.

We were three generations and I think any age can enjoy this tour.

autumn silkworms
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. However, it was too late in the season for us to see a lot of the trees, so next time I would like to join the tour during peak season.

There were too many people to observe slowly.
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!
