Great satisfaction even in bad weather! And it was wonderful to see how they cared about their children.

5.00Unfortunately, it was changed from the planned point due to rain, but we were able to enjoy snorkeling to the fullest. Even in the rain, the reef was so beautiful and I was impressed to see so many fish. My first grader son was with me, and the instructor was so kind to me that I didn't have to be afraid to finish. Even if the weather is bad, I was able to leave it to you with peace of mind because you could take me to the best spot on the fly. Thank you very much.

5.00It was a great experience to enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island! On the mangrove canoe, I was able to enjoy the unique subtropical scenery as I went along the quiet river, and the guide explained it to me easily, giving me a deeper sense of the charm of nature. The Blue Cave snorkeling was a great way to swim with beautiful fish in the sea and was also very photogenic, which made me a memory of a lifetime. The staff were very kind and very considerate of safety, so I was able to participate with peace of mind for the first time!

5.00Akari, Hiro, and Reia were very friendly and made themselves very aware of the group and did their best to accompany all of our needs and wants and they went out of their way to take incredible photos of everyone and everything that we saw. They gave us great recommendations for other things on the island as well (good spots and not super well known spot by the regular tourists) , which was very kind of them. They went above and beyond.
I came across a sea turtle!!!

5.00This kayaking tour in Ishigaki Island was an incredible experience. Paddling through the mangroves was peaceful and the views were absolutely stunning. My tour guide, Makoto, was smart, knowledgeable, and very professional, and it was clear how dedicated she was to making sure everyone had a great time. She also gave me excellent recommendations on where to eat after the tour, which were very helpful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ishigaki Island.
