Ishigaki

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 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!

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.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Experiência de snorkel incrível em Ishigaki-jima! O instrutor foi super atencioso, estendeu o tempo, o equipamento estava impecavelmente limpo e ainda tivemos a sorte de ver uma tartaruga marinha! Hoje, participei de um passeio de snorkel em Ishigaki-jima, e a experiência geral foi realmente fantástica! Tenho que dar um grande elogio a esta loja! 😍 Instrutor: Primeiramente, o instrutor foi extremamente gentil e atencioso durante todo o tempo. O mais memorável foi quando ele nos levou para procurar tartarugas marinhas, e encontramos uma que estava se coçando e esfregando nas rochas de coral! Para que pudéssemos ver a tartaruga se coçando e subindo lentamente à superfície para respirar, o instrutor não teve pressa alguma, e até estendeu o tempo da atividade para nós. Ele foi super entusiasmado e paciente, esperando conosco, e sou muito grato a ele! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Equipamento: Além disso, preciso enfatizar a limpeza e higiene do equipamento! Já fiz snorkel em Green Island e Orchid Island antes, e lembro que as boquilhas das máscaras em outros lugares geralmente tinham algumas manchas escuras, o que me deixava um pouco desconfortável ao usá-las. Mas as boquilhas das máscaras desta loja em Ishigaki-jima estavam super limpas! Não havia um pingo de sujeira, o que me deixou muito tranquilo e impressionado! Desde a atitude de serviço, o arranjo do itinerário até a higiene do equipamento, cada detalhe foi impecável. Todo o processo de snorkel foi muito agradável e seguro. Se tiver a chance de vir a Ishigaki-jima novamente, com certeza me inscreverei novamente. Recomendo fortemente a todos que desejam fazer snorkel! 👍💯

O tempo hoje não estava bom, mas o nosso guia turístico, Buzz, fez o seu melhor para nos ensinar a andar de canoa e sobre os manguezais. A paisagem era linda, o passeio valeu muito a pena. No geral, gostamos muito da experiência.😃

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.

Estava tão quente que eu não sabia se era suor ou lágrimas escorrendo, mas eu perdi a noção do tempo observando os macacos-esquilo fofos! E certifique-se de comprar comida na casa de chá antes de ir vê-los! Eu não sabia que havia comida e só descobri tarde demais quando fui comprar uma bebida por causa do calor, o que foi uma pena. Os macacos são incrivelmente fofos!
