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.

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!

I was a little nervous since it was my first time trying SUP, but the guide taught us how to paddle very carefully, so I was able to relax and enjoy it right away. The quiet and extraordinary atmosphere of the mangroves was so soothing. They efficiently guided us through the sightseeing spots, and I was happy to receive the wonderful photos right there on the spot. I think this is the perfect plan for anyone who wants to enjoy not only the ocean but also the lush nature of Ishigaki Island!

It was the best tour ever for enjoying the great outdoors on Ishigaki Island! The SUP session in the mangroves was calm with no waves, and it felt just like exploring a jungle—it was so exciting. On the scenic photo tour, our guide took us to beautiful spots we never would have found on our own and helped us take lots of stunning, Instagram-worthy photos. We had a wonderfully relaxing yet active day and are completely satisfied! Thank you so much to our guide for such a fun time.

I went stand-up paddleboarding through the mangroves on the Miyara River. Paddling slowly along the calm, wave-less river was so relaxing, and it felt like a jungle adventure. During the morning photo tour, the guide showed us secret photo spots known only to locals, so we got plenty of “Instagrammable” shots. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be active but also stay relaxed!

The photo tour let me efficiently visit Ishigaki Island’s most scenic spots, and I took plenty of photos I couldn’t wait to post on social media.
During the mangrove SUP session that followed, we glided leisurely down the quiet river—it was a wonderful time to be soothed by nature.
