SUP experience of mangroves

5.00It was my first SUP experience and I really enjoyed participating. Even beginners enjoyed it with peace of mind. We also received a call the day before saying that the time we had booked seemed difficult due to the weather, and we were very grateful for the flexibility to change the time. Thanks to this, I was able to experience it safely. During the tour, he also explained about the nature and living things of the mangroves, which was interesting. It was a lovely time to feel closer to nature on Ishigaki Island. If I get another chance, I'd love to participate!
Mangrove tour was fun

5.00The mangrove tour in Iriomote Island that I was going to visit was not possible due to bad weather, so I quickly applied the day before. I'm glad my guide Jun explained the mangroves carefully. They also told me about a good restaurant, which was helpful. It was my first time at SUP, but I enjoyed it. It was a great satisfaction.
I'm glad I came to Ishigaki Island.

5.00The weather was nice and the canoe tour under the blue sky was very pleasant and I was able to relax throughout. As you slowly move through the mangroves, you can feel the tranquility and richness of nature that you would not normally experience, and you will be soothed by the calmness of the water and the comfort of the wind. The guides were very attentive and easy to understand, and the knowledge about mangroves was very good, making it more than just an activity. Physically, it is easy to enjoy, so it is perfect for beginners to the outdoors and those who want to feel relaxed and natural. It was a wonderful time to experience it again when you want to take a break from everyday life and refresh yourself.
Mangroves are amazing.
