Okinawa Prefecture Paddleboarding

This was a fantastic experience on Ishigaki Island. The location is very close to the city center, making transportation extremely convenient and saving a lot of travel time. While it might not be the most budget-friendly option, the overall service definitely makes up for it. Originally, I planned to try SUP, but because I had too many belongings, I decided last minute to switch to kayaking. It was my first time kayaking, and I was a bit worried, but it turned out to be very stable, and even beginners can easily handle it. I especially want to commend our instructor, Sota. He was incredibly enthusiastic and talkative, patiently and warmly assisting participants throughout the entire experience, which made everyone feel very comfortable. Most importantly, his English communication was perfectly fine, making it very friendly for foreign tourists, so there's no need to worry about communication issues. Paddling through the mangroves felt very peaceful and relaxing, and Sota even proactively helped take photos, capturing this unique experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing snorkeling experience in Ishigaki Island! The instructor was incredibly thoughtful, extending our time, and the equipment was exceptionally clean. We even got lucky and saw a sea turtle! Today, I went snorkeling in Ishigaki Island, and the overall experience was truly fantastic! I absolutely have to give this shop a huge thumbs up! 😍 Instructor: First and foremost, the instructor was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire trip. The most memorable part was when the instructor took us to find sea turtles, and we happened to spot one scratching its back on the coral reef! To ensure we could witness the sea turtle scratching its back and slowly swimming up to the surface to breathe, the instructor was in no rush at all. They even extended our time so we could continue the activity. They were so enthusiastic and patiently waited with us; I'm truly grateful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Equipment: I also have to specifically highlight how clean and hygienic their equipment is! I've snorkeled before in Green Island and Orchid Island, and I remember the mouthpieces of the masks in other places often had some dark grime, which always made me a little uneasy when biting down. But the mask mouthpieces at this place in Ishigaki Island were incredibly clean! There wasn't even a speck of dirt, which was truly reassuring and impressive! From the service attitude and itinerary planning to the equipment hygiene, every detail was impeccable. The entire snorkeling process was very enjoyable and worry-free. If I have the chance to visit Ishigaki Island again, I will definitely book with them again. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to go snorkeling! 👍💯

Navštívili sme piati, z toho štyria sa zúčastnili SUP. Jedna osoba sa obávala plávania a zúčastnila sa len prepravy, ale personál bol veľmi ústretový a cítili sme sa bezpečne. Náš let meškal, ale boli veľmi ochotní prispôsobiť čas, za čo sme im naozaj vďační. Samotný zážitok so SUP bol zábavný vďaka dôkladnej inštruktáži a boli sme veľmi spokojní s množstvom krásnych fotografií a videí, ktoré sme dostali. Ďakujeme za úžasný čas! Bol to skvelý zážitok z Miyakojimy!

We had a wonderful time during this activity, guided by Rino. I accidentally injured myself along the way, but Rino immediately noticed, rushed over, and treated my wound. I'm so glad I participated in an activity guided by Rino. Thank you very much! Instructor: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dnešné počasie nebolo dobré, ale náš sprievodca Buzz sa snažil zo všetkých síl naučiť nás, ako pádlovať na kanoe a poskytnúť nám vedomosti o mangrovoch. Scenéria bola nádherná, výlet určite stál za to. Celkovo sme si zážitok veľmi užili😃

The temperature at sunrise was very comfortable, and we could see the sky change through many colors. Plus, there was almost no one around at that time, so we had the beach all to ourselves! Ken was amazing; he helped us find so many sea turtles here. They swim incredibly fast, and we probably wouldn't have encountered any on our own, so it's a good thing Ken was with us! Highly recommend! He even waited for us to finish changing and showering after the tour before leaving, which was very thoughtful.

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.

Our guide, Mayu, made our time so enjoyable. Thank you for communicating so well in English!^^ Thank you for making our trip to Phu Quoc so happy!

Due to the weather, our itinerary was adjusted to a SUP experience and a half-day tour. Our coach, Hana, was so sweet and wonderful—she led us through a fun, joyful day full of pleasant surprises. Highly recommended!
