Okinawa Prefecture Kajakroning

Fantastisk – en rigtig god første oplevelse! Butikken bekræftede beskeden tidligt om morgenen, men vi sov over os. Vi skyndte os derhen, og de lod os ændre tidspunktet. Instruktøren hjalp os også med at tage billeder og sendte dem med det samme til vores telefoner 📱. En fantastisk oplevelse!

Fordele: Elskede vores tur til Græskarhulen. Det var sjovt at hoppe fra græskarret ned i vandet! Kajakroning var dejligt. Ulemper: Vi kunne ikke tage vores kamera med og måtte stole på de billeder, de tog for os. Desværre er deres billeder ikke supergode, nogle blev okay, men de fleste var kornet. Der var mange mennesker. Gruppe efter gruppe gik ind i græskarhulen.

“Dette var en enestående oplevelse. Sao, Emma og hele teamet gjorde et fantastisk stykke arbejde med at sikre en gnidningsfri proces, samtidig med at de udviste et højt niveau af professionalisme og venlighed hele vejen igennem.” Rob & Carissa 😃

This time, I departed from Ishigaki Island and participated in a mangrove kayaking tour on Iriomote Island. After researching various travel agencies, I booked it through Klook, and it was operated by a local travel agency. The overall experience was quite smooth! 👍 The package I chose was the [Iriomote Island Mangrove Kayaking Experience], which includes: 📍 #MangroveKayakingExperience 📍 #OnsiteInstructorGuidance (Beginners are welcome!) 📍 #RiverTrekkingShoes + LifeVestProvided 📍 #TourPhotoDocumentation 🚣‍♀️ Tour Itinerary: Upon arrival at Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, the travel agency will provide transportation. It's about a 10-minute drive to the river → Equipment distribution + Instruction. We kayaked into the mangroves for about 20 minutes before turning back (it wasn't tiring at all and very easy to pick up 🤣). The single-trip experience isn't long, making it perfect for a half-day itinerary. There's a simple restroom on-site where you can change clothes. 👌 👕 Recommended Attire: Long-sleeved shirt (for sun and mosquito protection) Shorts (they will definitely get wet) Hat (it gets very sunny) Remember to bring a change of clothes. 🗣 Language: English/Japanese is available, but communicating through gestures is perfectly fine. 👉 My 63-year-old dad completed it successfully! 🤣 P.S. You'll need to purchase your Iriomote Island ferry tickets separately (round-trip tickets are not included). After booking your tour, remember to add the travel agency on Line or WhatsApp to stay in touch!

At glide hen over vandet ved solnedgang viste sig at være et af de mest fredfyldte øjeblikke på hele min tur i Ishigaki. Vores guide, Yoshi-san, holdt tempoet afslappet og gav os masser af tid til at tage billeder, nyde udsigten og bare sidde stille midt på vandet. Han gav os også Ishigaki jasminte og ananas som forfriskninger under vores pause. Lige før solnedgang, for at teste vores evner i vandet – gav Yoshi-san os en mission om at glide mellem 2 store sten (helt sikkert, bare rolig), og det gjorde alt mere spændende, end det allerede var! Yoshi-san hjalp os også med at tage mange mindeværdige billeder under hele kajakoplevelsen. Hvis du leder efter noget, der er både eventyrligt og beroligende, er denne solnedgangskajaktur perfekt. Den er begyndervenlig, utrolig naturskøn og en smuk måde at afslutte dagen på. 10/10, kan klart anbefales!

We had booked the canoe and snorkeling on Phantom Island’s day, unfortunately due to the weather we had to go snorkelling at the Blue Cave. The two sites, the mangroves and the Blue Cave are beautiful so we had a great time. I think that the day is very well suited for families with children or for people who are not very comfortable in canoeing and/or snorkeling, but don’t expect to travel many miles in a canoe or swim. The organization is very well done, the equipment is adapted and in very good condition,... but above all, we were lucky to have a great guide, a thousand thanks to Tom who has such a super positive energy, is very nice and funny, who speaks perfectly english, he gave everything to make sure we had great photos, so he was very involved in making sure we had a great day. Thanks again Tom !
