    Wonderful kayak tour! If you dont have experience in kayaking, we would recommend doing the half day tour! We overestimated ourself with the full day tour, but our guide was so nice and picked us up with his car after lunch. He even did some sightseeing with us, so we did Not Miss the places we would have seen on our was back! All in all of was sich a beautiful experience! The landscapes and islands are absolutely breathtaking!

    We did the half day tour with two 15 year old boys. I was looking for sight seeing experiences which involved physical activity to engage the boys. This was excellent. We were given water proof clothes to wear and kayaked to Abuto-kan-non which was an interesting shrine.
