5.00Taran is an amazing guide with excellent photography skills. He is very friendly, accommodating and knows the best scenic spots on the island. I had a great time and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ishigaki. Thank you Taran!
Unforgettable Half-Day Tour in Ishigaki with Taran!

5.00I had an incredible experience doing a private half-day, land-based tour in Ishigaki with Taran. From the moment I was picked up at the airport, everything was seamless and enjoyable. As a solo female traveler, I immediately felt comfortable and at ease—Taran was kind, respectful, and really made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. I hadn’t done much research beforehand, so I let Taran choose the sites—and he absolutely nailed it. We visited some of the most beautiful and scenic spots on the island, most of which I likely wouldn’t have found on my own. He also took amazing photos throughout the day, which made for such wonderful memories to take home. If you’re visiting Ishigaki—especially if you’re traveling solo or prefer an English-speaking guide—I couldn’t recommend this tour more. It was the perfect mix of exploration, comfort, and stunning natural beauty. I loved every second!
Don’t hesitate. Book it.

5.00Taran and his wife were the perfect guides for our family. Personable, knowledgable, open to suggestions but also knew all the right spots to go (views, culture, wildlife, beautiful beach, etc). They also generously went over the time in order to squeeze in one last spot. Couldn’t have been better. If we hadn’t booked this tour, our trip to ishigaki wouldn’t have been nearly as memorable. Oh- and the pictures were amazing souvenirs of our trip to Japan!
GREAT Experience with TARAN

5.00Taran was AMAZING. Went out of his way to provide us with unique tour destinations in Ishigaki. He even went well over the 4-5 hour allocated in order for us to explore the island. I cannot say enough nice things about Taran. Ask for him when you are on the island.
Great relaxed overview of Ishigashi and more
