I was there alone, but our guide, Shinobu, explained everything so thoroughly that I was able to enjoy the tour without any worries. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, so I couldn’t see the sunrise, but the mangrove SUP tour was very magical, and I’m really glad I had that experience. She took lots of photos for me, so I have some great memories to take home.

I've got a bunch of photos for Instagram, so I'm going to show them off now!!!

Last year I participated at our sister location on Iriomote Island, and this year I took on the challenge of Ishigaki Island! It’s such a treat to be able to capture scenery like this with just one flight.

I was sleepy in the morning, but seeing the sunrise made me think, “I’m so glad I got up early!” It was that kind of tour. There were some international visitors on the tour as well, and I felt like the guide handled things very well in both languages. Those visitors seemed to be having a great time, too.

The hotel shuttle service was a huge help. In the morning, we had the shuttle all to ourselves—it was just our family.
It was the perfect way to end my trip. Next time, I'd like to join a tour on Iriomote Island.

I was moved by the scenery I’d never seen before. I watched as the dimly lit landscape gradually gave way to a bright red sky.

Yesterday, I happened to strike up a conversation with someone sitting next to me at a café, and we decided to do an early-morning activity together—it was the kind of encounter you might expect on a solo trip.
I joined the tour! They’re very accommodating, even for solo travelers. The guides were all young and full of energy from the morning on.

Since I came to Ishigaki Island without any plans, I was looking around on my first day when I came across a morning activity I hadn’t really heard of before, so I called them and
The woman at the call center recommended it to us. I had no trouble riding it, but he fell off a few times (lol).

I was so excited to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time! Apparently, it’s designed to hold two or more people (though that’s pretty challenging), and it was huge.
Toward the end, I got to ride a SUP with him!!

I took a night tour yesterday, and the guide told me, “I also recommend the sunrise tour,” so I decided to join it on the spur of the moment.
I was impressed by how the roles were divided among different guides for the sunrise tour. I was able to see both the starry sky and the sunrise, so I’m completely satisfied with this trip.

During Golden Week, my young son wanted to see the sunrise, so we booked a tour with Pippi on Ishigaki Island. My son seemed to get used to it right away and was even standing up and playing with the guide! We took it easy, sitting down to take photos and just relaxing.

I joined this tour to have a little fun on the last day of my business trip to Ishigaki Island. Since they took me straight to the airport after it was over, I’d give them a passing grade for both service and quality.

Thanks to our guide, Asa-chan, who took so many photos of us, we made some great memories☆ I’d love to have Asa-chan as our guide again the next time we visit!

We met at 5:30 a.m. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to get some fresh air but doesn’t want to get sunburned, since it’s not too hot in the morning. I was worried there might be waves while we were SUPing, but there weren’t any—it was a breeze.

You can see a beautiful sunrise! This is my first time on Ishigaki Island, and I had no idea a morning tour could be so refreshing!

We met at the hotel while it was still dark and the stars were visible. Once we arrived at the spot, we were shown how to use the equipment, and then we got started.
We paddled for a while, waiting for the sunrise. Then the sky turned red, and a dazzling light filled our view. Someone took a photo of us with the sun in the background.

Hmm, hmm
I was feeling a bit down because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to see it through the clouds, but I caught a glimpse of it through the clouds!! Since there's no one around in the morning, it feels like I have the place all to myself.

The reflection on the water was so vivid☆ I posted the photo on Instagram right away♪

Basking in the morning sun made me feel great! Breakfast after the activity tasted even better! I highly recommend it—it’s a great way to start your day with energy!!

I was a little nervous at first, but when I finally took the plunge and gave it a try, I was surprised at how stable it was. The instructor was so kind and full of energy that we got really excited—even though it was early in the morning. The two of us on our girls' trip took over 100 photos!!

I really wanted to see the sunrise, so I timed my visit for a day with good weather. I was able to take some photos I'm really happy with.

The guide was incredibly kind and patient in explaining things to us,
Even beginners could enjoy it with confidence.
I hear there are other activities, such as sunset SUP, so
I'd definitely like to participate in that as well.
It was the best!
