5.00I loved the Okinawan ocean more and more thanks to the fun, safe and respectful guide of SUP. Hiroking-san even invited us to the sun with his power, and we heard many stories that made us love Okinawa even more in the bright atmosphere, and it was a quick time! Thank you very much.

5.00He kindly showed me how to do SUP and took a lot of pictures. I also brought a lifeguard tube for people who can't swim, so I could enjoy SUP with peace of mind. It's great to be SUP in a beautiful sea!!! Please come again when you SUP in Okinawa.

5.00Our guide Hiroki is a bright and cool macho man! It was my first SUP in a while, but I didn't have any worries because he taught me so politely. I had a great time in a private setting as I was taken to the beach, a little-known spot! It is recommended ♪
A safe SUP experience for women and children

5.00It was my first time to experience marine sports, but they taught me very carefully so I could fully enjoy them. During the break from the activities, we chatted about the highlights and history of Okinawa, so we had fun throughout the whole time.
The sea and the story are great! SUP Experience with Hirokingu!

5.00I experienced SUP on Hamahiga Island! It was cloudy, but the ocean was also very beautiful, and the sun shone in on the way, which was very moving! Instructor Hiroking told us a lot about Okinawan culture and the sea, and it was a time to not just row but heal to the heart! It was just fun and a great experience to remember! I definitely want to do it again!
