Okinawa Prefecture कयाकिंग

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.

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!

The mangrove forest kayaking and snorkeling were absolutely fantastic. Even though the weather wasn't great, Makoto-san's excellent guidance made it an unforgettable experience.

मेरी पत्नी और मैंने इस गतिविधि का बहुत आनंद लिया। हमें श्री योशी ने मार्गदर्शन दिया, जिन्होंने अपनी सीमित अंग्रेजी के बावजूद यह सुनिश्चित किया कि हमारा अनुभव सुरक्षित और बहुत आनंददायक हो। कयाक अच्छी तरह से रखा गया और आरामदायक था। नदी शांत थी और इसमें नेविगेट करना आसान था। हम मैंग्रोव वन और गुफा के मुहानों का पता लगाने में कामयाब रहे। गति अच्छी थी और हमने पूरे समय बहुत आराम और शांति महसूस की। वापसी बिंदु पर, हमने एक साधारण चाय ब्रेक के लिए अपनी कयाक उतारी। श्री योशी ने हमें मड स्किपर और हर्मिट क्रैब खोजने में मदद की। हमें अपने मोबाइल फोन लाने की आवश्यकता नहीं थी क्योंकि श्री योशी ने तस्वीरें लेने में मदद की, जिन्हें उन्होंने यात्रा के बाद हमारे साथ साझा किया। दौरे के शुरुआती/अंतिम बिंदु पर शौचालय और धोने की सुविधा भी है। हमें माएसोतो बीच के पास हमारे होटल से उठाया और छोड़ा गया। यदि आप प्रकृति को एक अलग तरीके से देखना चाहते हैं और कयाकिंग आज़माना चाहते हैं तो अत्यधिक अनुशंसित है!
