4.00Great activity to do while in Ishigaki. Very peaceful and well organised. Kenji was an excellent guide, who made a great effort to connect with all participants, and took great photos and videos of us. We were in a tour of 7 participants, some canoe, some SUP so the pace is matched to suit the group.
It was fun.

Paddling in Miyara River

4.00My 8 year old daughter and I had a lovely mangrove canoeing trip with Kenzi (Pipi Adventures) this morning. Even though it was drizzling, it was a lovely paddle through the serene Miyara river. The trip was well organised and good guide to participant ratio (1:4 in our case). I would have given 5 stars of not that there was no place to change after the paddle and was not forewarned. It’s pretty much an open area where the vehicles are parked. For those who wish to change to dry clothes, do bring along a very large towel to change in modesty, even if behind the bus. Otherwise, it’s a short ride (about 15-20 mins) back to the port terminal drop off, and you will only sit in squelching clothes for a short while. That said, you can still be totally dry throughout the trip, unless of course, in our case, it was drizzling throuhout. Would recommend for reliability and effectiveness.
