Ishigaki Island Sightseeing Circuit Photo TourTour Reviews and Testimonials
Taji
Kabira Bay was way more beautiful than it looked in photos! The view from the ocean while canoeing was absolutely amazing—I could have stayed there forever. The staff were friendly and created a fun atmosphere. I was completely satisfied with the tour—they showed me so many different places! It was just a shame the weather turned cloudy partway through, but I still had a great time.

I went on the Kabira Bay kayaking and island sightseeing tour, and it exceeded all my expectations. The color of the water in Kabira Bay is unlike anything I’ve ever seen—a vivid, almost unreal blue-green that takes your breath away. Paddling through it in a kayak was such a special experience. Our guide was wonderful—always attentive and full of great local knowledge.
The sightseeing portion was just as enjoyable—it was well-paced, interesting, and took us to some real hidden gems around the island.
I was worried the weather might let us down, but honestly, even with a few clouds, Kabira Bay was breathtakingly beautiful. I can only imagine how incredible it looks on a perfect sunny day. I highly, highly recommend it!

It was my first time trying SUP, and I had so much fun! Paddling through the mangroves felt amazing and was really relaxing. The staff were cheerful, and the atmosphere was fun from start to finish. I was also completely satisfied with the sightseeing tour—they took us to so many different places! If I ever come back to Ishigaki, I’ll definitely join this tour again.
Tiffany
I went on the mangrove SUP and island sightseeing tour, and it was such a unique experience! Gliding through the mangrove forest on a stand-up paddleboard felt like exploring a secret jungle—peaceful, beautiful, and unlike anything I’d ever done before. The reflections of the trees on the calm water were absolutely stunning.
The sightseeing portion was also well-paced and took us to some great spots around the island. Our guide was warm and encouraging, especially toward those of us who had never tried SUP before!
The weather wasn’t great on the day of our tour, which made the scenery look a little subdued—but honestly, it added a mysterious, misty atmosphere to the mangroves. Still, it was a fantastic tour overall!

The crystal-clear ocean and the pure white sandy beach were absolutely amazing. There were so many fish while snorkeling—it was so exciting! The guide was really fun to be around, and we had an incredible time.
Jennii
I took the Ishigaki sightseeing tour combined with the “Phantom Island” landing and snorkeling experience, and it was truly unforgettable. The so-called “Phantom Island” (Hamajima) was absolutely breathtaking—a sandbar surrounded by turquoise water that feels like it shouldn’t exist in real life. Our guide was fantastic—always attentive and enthusiastic—making the whole trip feel special.
Snorkeling around the island was incredible—colorful fish and coral everywhere. The only downside was the weather, which was a bit gloomy and kept the scenery from looking as vivid as it could have.
Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ishigaki? Come on a sunny day, and it’ll be perfect!

I took the Ishigaki Island tour that included snorkeling and had a wonderful time overall. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, pointing out the best spots around the island and making sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. The snorkeling was a highlight—the coral and tropical fish were stunning, even on an overcast day!
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the weather—unfortunately, it wasn’t sunny during our visit, which made the scenery a little less vibrant than I’d hoped. But honestly, the tour itself was so well-organized that it didn’t ruin the experience at all.
If you're visiting Ishigaki, this tour is definitely worth it. I'd love to come back on a clear day and see the crystal-blue water under the bright sunshine. I highly recommend it!
