Coisas para fazer em Ishigaki Yaima Village

I was extremely satisfied. I'll come back in the fall and join the tour again! I was so touched by how kindly and passionately they shared hidden secret spots and local eateries. It was the best!!

Fue un tour increíble, uno de los mejores snorkel que hemos hecho, mi novia y yo quedamos fascinados con todos los corales y la vida marina que vimos. Makoto fue muy amable y profesional, nos sentimos atendidos y seguros durante todo el tour🙏. Diego, el capitán, también fue increíble. Si estás en la isla, definitivamente necesitas este tour en tu viaje. Muchas gracias, equipo Pipi ❤️. Cuiden los corales y usen protector solar amigable con los corales.

Instructor: 273 Akira. He explained everything thoroughly and kindly from beginning to end, always with a bright smile. He also took beautiful photos and created a fun atmosphere, making it a truly memorable experience.

It was my first time canoeing, but the guide 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 rocks in the ocean. Although it was cloudy and we couldn't clearly see the sunset, it was a very satisfying and enjoyable experience. There was also time to relax in the peaceful sea, which was very healing for my soul. I definitely want to do this again next time I come to Ishigaki Island.

Due to the rainy and cloudy weather, we couldn't visit the Blue Cave, so we went snorkeling at Osaki Beach instead. Safety is paramount, after all. Thanks to Makoto-san's kind explanations and care, we safely enjoyed snorkeling. We even had the good fortune to see turtles and sea snakes! ^^

The chartered driver spoke Japanese, but was very friendly and kept trying to introduce Kabira Bay and the scenery along the way to us in Japanese. In the end, we had to pay for an extra 15 minutes, which amounted to half an hour's fee. The driver had a card machine, so I paid with my Suica card instead of cash.

It was raining before we set off, and we were worried if we could dive smoothly. However, our guide Akrai, with her rich experience, took us to Osaki Beach (Tachii Beach), where we saw sea turtles up close and beautiful sea views. We are truly grateful to Akrai for her kind and professional introduction to the local natural environment, and for sharing her favorite restaurants and cafes, which made our trip very enjoyable.

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, and unfortunately the weather was bad, so many of the tours I had planned were canceled. However, I was relieved that this tour was able to tell me whether it would be held or not at an early stage. Although there were many clouds and I couldn't see a beautiful sunrise, I was able to enjoy a very comfortable time doing SUP surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds. It was my first time doing SUP, but I was happy that I was able to go much further than I had imagined, thanks to the careful instruction. The tour guide was also very kind and told me about recommended tourist spots, which made my trip wonderful even after the tour. This time, I was traveling alone and didn't have many photos of myself, so I was happy that the guide sent me some photos. Next time, I would like to come back and try again when the weather is stable.
