Okinawa Prefecture Kayaking

This tour was one of the most fun activities for the kids during our Okinawa trip. The instructor, whose code name I believe was KYAK (I'm not entirely sure, but we're so grateful to him), was incredibly friendly to the children. When he saw they enjoyed marine life, he would point things out to them under the boat (which has a clear bottom, so you can see very well). There was also a touch experience. I highly recommend this for parents who have children who love marine life. We also paid an extra 3,000 JPY for drone footage, which was totally worth it! Highly recommend!

I wanted to explore Iriomote and the Kayak tour with Tez as our guide was great. The mangroves are very beautiful and you feel like you are deep in nature there. It's cute to see the crabs also (unexpected!) and see that the environment there is still intact. There are great places to eat nearby, and the bus to and from the port allows you to see more of the island. Tez spoke English and Japanese with everyone, and helped out with taking great photos! Highly recommended!

Pros: Loved our tour of the Pumpkin Cave. Jumping off the pumpkin into the water fun! Kayaking was nice. Cons: We could not take our camera and had to rely on the photos they took for us. Unfortunately their pictures aren't super great, some turned out ok, but most were grainy. It was crowded. Group after group went into the pumpkin cave.

We had a wonderful and eventful private tour with Takashi. Takashi is an amazing guide and introduced us to the island in an adventurous and natural way. The food was also super delicious. Thank you so much!

Gliding across the water at sunset turned out to be one of the most peaceful moments of my entire trip in Ishigaki. Our guide, Yoshi-san, kept the pace relaxed, giving us plenty of time to take photos, enjoy the view, and just sit still in the middle of the water. He also gave us Ishigaki jasmine tea and pineapple as refreshments during our break. Just before sunset, to test our abilities in the water - Yoshi-san gave us a mission to glide between 2 large rocks (completely safe don’t worry) and that made everything more exciting than it already was! Yoshi-san also helped us take many memorable photos during the entire kayaking experience. If you’re looking for something that’s both adventurous and calming, this sunset kayaking tour is perfect. It’s beginner‑friendly, incredibly scenic, and a beautiful way to end the day. 10/10, would recommend!

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 !

Yoshi is a fantastic guide. We had an amazing time, we went to a few different areas and Yoshi explained about the different Mangrove trees. We had a rest stop with snacks under a canopy of Mangroves. He also found a Mangrove Clam on the river floor. It was an early start due to the tide times, but absolutely worth it! We had a private tour and an amazing experience.
