Highly recommend Pipi Travel Agency! 🌿✨
I joined the mangrove kayaking tour this time, and the overall experience was fantastic! The tour guide, Aoi, was friendly and professional, providing detailed explanations of the mangrove ecology and natural environment along the way. The presentation was engaging and easy to understand, and it was bilingual in both Chinese and English, allowing travelers from different countries to easily participate.
Best of all, Aoi also helped take photos, allowing us to enjoy the fun of kayaking with peace of mind and leaving us with wonderful travel memories. The entire trip not only allowed us to admire the beautiful natural scenery but also provided us with a wealth of ecological knowledge.
Thank you to the tour guide for your attentive and enthusiastic leadership, which made this mangrove trip even more wonderful! Highly recommended to friends visiting Ishigaki Island who want to experience the natural ecosystem.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing snorkeling experience in Ishigaki Island! The instructor was incredibly thoughtful, extending our time, and the equipment was exceptionally clean. We even got lucky and saw a sea turtle!
Today, I went snorkeling in Ishigaki Island, and the overall experience was truly fantastic! I absolutely have to give this shop a huge thumbs up! 😍
Instructor:
First and foremost, the instructor was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire trip. The most memorable part was when the instructor took us to find sea turtles, and we happened to spot one scratching its back on the coral reef! To ensure we could witness the sea turtle scratching its back and slowly swimming up to the surface to breathe, the instructor was in no rush at all. They even extended our time so we could continue the activity. They were so enthusiastic and patiently waited with us; I'm truly grateful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Equipment:
I also have to specifically highlight how clean and hygienic their equipment is! I've snorkeled before in Green Island and Orchid Island, and I remember the mouthpieces of the masks in other places often had some dark grime, which always made me a little uneasy when biting down. But the mask mouthpieces at this place in Ishigaki Island were incredibly clean! There wasn't even a speck of dirt, which was truly reassuring and impressive!
From the service attitude and itinerary planning to the equipment hygiene, every detail was impeccable. The entire snorkeling process was very enjoyable and worry-free. If I have the chance to visit Ishigaki Island again, I will definitely book with them again. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to go snorkeling! 👍💯

Today’s weather was not good, but our tour guide, Buzz tried his best to teach us how to play canoe and the knowledge about mangroves. The scenery was beautiful, the tour was definitely worth to join. Overall, we enjoyed the experience very much😃

Coach Shuto Mine was very enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was full of energy. Even though it was my first time kayaking, I quickly understood and got the hang of it after the coach's explanation. Paddling out of the bay, I was captivated by the stunning scenery.

Experience: If it's your first time visiting Ishigaki and you have more time for another snorkeling trip, I would recommend this. First, we went snorkeling near Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, the visibility was low that day, so we couldn't clearly see the coral and fish from the surface. Luckily, our guide Chloe free-dove and captured clearer images, even encountering Limo! This activity lasted about 45 minutes before we headed to Yumejima (Dream Island). We spent about 30 minutes on the island for close-up viewing/photography before returning. The total trip was approximately 3 hours.

It was a speechlessly awesome experience! Our guide was very easygoing and spoke great English. The price was very reasonable, but the memories are absolutely priceless. I highly recommend this to anyone who is still hesitant!

Highly recommended if you come to Ishigaki 👍👍 Even if you're not a great swimmer, there's no pressure at all haha. Our guide, Sho, took us to amazingly beautiful spots and even to a sea turtle habitat. It felt like watching a Japanese movie set in Ishigaki, from the start of the tour and seeing the first sea turtle to exploring various gorgeous spots underwater—I was just so happy 😀 You spend about an hour in the water, and the underwater world is truly magnificent. There are no restrooms or convenience stores nearby, so it's a good idea to use the restroom and grab drinks beforehand! Thank you so much, Sho, for providing such a wonderful experience. I will definitely book a tour with Happy Marine Shop again next time! ☺️

I visited Ishigaki Island again. Last time, due to a typhoon, our snorkeling trip was changed to kayaking. This time, I signed up for both activities. Kayaking was still a lot of fun; being among the mangroves felt very therapeutic. The only minor downside was that too many people were doing/starting the activity at the same time. This was my first time snorkeling in Ishigaki, and the water was incredibly clear. I saw many fish unique to Ishigaki Island, and I even encountered a sea turtle! I felt very lucky! However, a small incident occurred during the trip. I won't go into details, but I want to commend our guide, Isa, for her quick thinking, which allowed the rest of the group (including me) to continue the tour with another leader! Although I didn't get many memorable photos, I would definitely recommend this to friends visiting Ishigaki!

Quick facts about Ishigaki
General info
What to know before visiting Ishigaki
What to do in Ishigaki throughout the year
Ishigaki is best known for water activities, followed by outdoor & sports activities, historical sites and tours — those top categories shape the island’s year. Klook booking data shows demand builds into a summer high with July as a peak month, when ocean activities and day cruises are most sought after, and then falls toward winter with December a very quiet month. Travellers planning for sun, snorkelling and boat days should target the busier-to-peak months for the full island atmosphere; choose timing between lively summer months and quieter winter months depending on whether you prefer buzz or space on the water. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit and price trends
Summer brings the biggest crowds while late year is much quieter: Klook booking data marks July as the single peak month and December as the trough. Prices move differently from demand — the priciest month by bookings is August with a high median, while the cheapest recorded month is January, so you’ll sometimes see crowds and prices diverge. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for January or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season atmosphere and a full activity programme, July and August suit best. Klook booking data informs both trends.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | AUD 10 |
| February | Very quiet | AUD 145 |
| March | Quieter than usual | AUD 149 |
| April | Busier than usual | AUD 79 |
| May | Busier than usual | AUD 270 |
| June | Peak demand | AUD 209 |
| July | Peak demand | AUD 88 |
| August | Quieter than usual | AUD 320 |
| September | Quieter than usual | AUD 84 |
| October | Quieter than usual | AUD 87 |
| November | Quieter than usual | AUD 169 |
| December | Very quiet | AUD 294 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia lock things in about 5 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around two-and-a-half weeks out. That means you can be flexible and often book close to travel, but in the peak months (notably July and August) it pays to reserve sooner. Klook booking data shows many experiences remain available at short notice, with some options booked as late as 1 day out, yet popular water activities fill faster in summer. Book through Klook to compare activities, secure preferred times and keep plans flexible — especially if you’re travelling from Australia and want to adapt around weather or boat schedules.
