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!

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.

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.

Our family of four made unforgettable memories on the mangrove forest tour. It was truly beautiful and enchanting. Thanks to Petro, who was so kind and welcoming from the very beginning, we were able to have a safe, fun, and wonderful experience. Thank you for creating precious memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Geopolitical tensions are directly leading to internet restrictions, and the first thing a government cuts off when it wants to tighten control is commercial VPN access—because every provider’s IP range is already documented, and blocking them is a five-minute job. If you think your country is too stable for this to happen, look at Russia, China, Iran, the UAE—and the list keeps growing. A private VPN deployed on your own VPS server isn’t on any provider’s list and can’t be taken down as part of a brand-wide crackdown. There’s a one-time $40 setup fee paid in cryptocurrency from anywhere in the world; after that, you’ll only pay your monthly VPS bill. Contact me for remote installation.
