Prefeitura de Okinawa Caiaque

Awesome! First experience was great! The shop only confirmed the message early in the morning, and we overslept. We rushed to the shop, and they still allowed us to change the time. The coach even helped us take photos and immediately sent them to our phones. A wonderful experience!

Pros: Adoramos nosso passeio pela Caverna da Abóbora. Pular da abóbora na água foi divertido! Andar de caiaque foi agradável. Contras: Não pudemos levar nossa câmera e tivemos que depender das fotos que eles tiraram para nós. Infelizmente, as fotos deles não são super boas, algumas ficaram razoáveis, mas a maioria estava granulada. Estava lotado. Grupo após grupo entrava na caverna da abóbora.

This was an outstanding experience. Sao, Emma, and the entire team did an amazing job ensuring a smooth process, while demonstrating a high level of professionalism and kindness throughout.

I departed from Ishigaki Island this time and participated in a mangrove kayaking tour on Iriomote Island. I booked it through Klook after researching various travel agencies' reviews. The local travel agency they partnered with provided a very smooth overall experience 👍 The package I chose was the [Iriomote Island Mangrove Kayaking Experience], which includes: 📍#MangroveKayakingExperience 📍#OnsiteInstructorGuidance (Beginners are welcome) 📍#RiverTrekkingShoes+LifeVestEquipmentProvided 📍#TourPhotoDocumentation 🚣‍♀️This tour's itinerary: Upon arrival at "Uehara Port" on Iriomote Island, the travel agency will pick you up. About a 10-minute drive to the river → Equipment distribution + instruction. Actual paddling into the mangroves for about 20 minutes before returning (not tiring at all, very easy to get the hang of 🤣). The one-way experience time is not long, making it suitable for a half-day itinerary. There are simple restrooms on-site for changing clothes 👌 👕Recommended attire: Long sleeves (for sun protection + mosquito repellent) Shorts (will definitely get wet) Hat (it's really sunny) Remember to bring a change of clothes 🗣Language: English/Japanese are available, but communicating with gestures is also perfectly fine. 👉My 63-year-old dad completed it successfully too 🤣 P.S. You 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!

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 !
