Things to do in Ishigaki Yaima Village

I was so, so satisfied. I'll come back in the fall and participate in the tour again 😀👍👍👍. I was so touched by how kind and enthusiastic you were in showing us hidden secret spots and local restaurants. The best! The best!!

It was an amazing tour, one of the best snorkeling we've ever made, my girlfriend and I were thrilled by all the coral and ocean life we saw. Makoto was so lovely and professional, We felt cared and safe all the tour🙏. Diego the captain was amazing too. If you are on the island you definitely need this tour in your trip. Thanks so much Pipi Team ❤️. Take care of the coral and use coral friendly sunscreen.

Instructor: 273 Akira. From beginning to end, they were bright and cheerful, and explained everything in detail very well. They also took beautiful pictures and created a fun atmosphere, making it a truly memorable experience.

It was my first time canoeing, but the instructor was very kind and taught me how to paddle. We went through the mangroves to the sea, found hermit crabs and coral, and paddled to the rocks in the sea. Although the weather was cloudy and we couldn't see the sunset properly, I was very satisfied and it was a very fun experience. I also had time to relax in the peaceful sea, which was very soothing. I would definitely like to do it again next time I come to Ishigaki Island.

Due to the rainy and cloudy weather making a Blue Cave visit difficult, I went snorkeling at Osaki Beach. Safety is the most important thing, after all. Thanks to Makoto-san's kind explanation and care, I enjoyed snorkeling safely. I was lucky enough to see turtles and sea snakes~ ^^

The chartered car driver spoke Japanese but was very friendly and kept trying to introduce Kabira Bay and the scenery along the way in Japanese. In the end, there was a 15-minute overtime charge, for which I had to pay for half an hour. The driver had a credit card machine, so I could pay with a card. I used my Suica card to pay, so I didn't have to pay cash.

It was raining before we left, and we were worried if we could dive smoothly, but our guide Akrai, with her rich experience, took us to Osaki Beach (Tachii Beach). We got to see sea turtles up close and the beautiful sea view. We are very grateful to Akrai for her kind and professional introduction to the local natural environment and for sharing her favorite restaurants and cafes, which made for a pleasant trip.

We stayed for two nights and three days, and unfortunately, the weather was bad and many of the tours we had planned were canceled. However, we were relieved that you let us know whether or not this tour would be held at an early stage. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see a beautiful sunrise, we had a very pleasant time doing SUP surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds. It was my first time doing SUP, but I was taught carefully and was happy to be able to go further than I had imagined. The tour guide was also very kind and told me about recommended tourist spots, which made it a wonderful trip even after the tour. This time, I was traveling alone and didn't have many photos of myself, but I was happy that the guide sent me some pictures. I would like to come back and try again next time when the weather is more stable.
