Prefeitura de Okinawa Canoagem

Prós: Adoramos nosso passeio pela Caverna da Abóbora. Pular da abóbora na água foi divertido! Andar de caiaque foi bom. 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.

Foi muito divertido, o guia foi muito atencioso e intencional em nos proporcionar uma excelente experiência e fotos e vídeos deslumbrantes que com certeza guardaremos. 10/10

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.

​"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." Rob & Carissa 😃

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!

Minha esposa e eu gostamos muito desta atividade. Fomos guiados pelo Sr. Yoshi que, apesar do seu inglês limitado, garantiu que tivéssemos uma experiência segura e muito agradável. O caiaque é bem conservado e confortável. O rio é calmo e fácil de navegar. Conseguimos explorar a floresta de mangue e as entradas das cavernas. O ritmo foi bom e nos sentimos muito relaxados e em paz durante todo o tempo. No ponto de retorno, desembarcamos nosso caiaque para um simples chá. O Sr. Yoshi nos ajudou a procurar os peixes-saltadores e os caranguejos-eremitas. Não precisamos levar nossos celulares, pois o Sr. Yoshi nos ajudou a tirar as fotos, que ele compartilhou conosco após a viagem. Há também instalações sanitárias e de lavagem no ponto de partida/chegada do passeio. Fomos buscados e deixados em nosso hotel perto da Praia de Maesoto. Altamente recomendado se você quiser ver a natureza de uma maneira diferente e quiser experimentar o caiaque!
