Okinawa Prefecture Paddleboarding

Today’s weather was not good, but our tour guide, Buzz tried his best to teach us how to play canoe and the knowledge about mangroves. The scenery was beautiful, the tour was definitely worth to join. Overall, we enjoyed the experience very much😃

Detta var en mycket bra upplevelse på Ishigaki Island. Platsen ligger mycket nära stadskärnan, vilket gör transporten extremt bekväm och sparar mycket restid. Även om prisvärdheten inte var den bästa, kompenserade den övergripande servicen definitivt för det. Ursprungligen planerade vi att paddla SUP, men eftersom vi hade för mycket packning bestämde vi oss i sista minuten för att byta till kajak. Det var första gången jag paddlade kajak, och jag var lite orolig till en början, men det visade sig att kajaken var mycket stabil och lätt att hantera även för nybörjare. Ett särskilt stort tack till instruktören Sota. Han var mycket entusiastisk och pratsam, och under hela turen var han tålmodig och hjälpsam mot deltagarna, vilket fick en att känna sig trygg. Det viktigaste var att hans engelska var helt okej, vilket är mycket vänligt mot utländska turister, så man behövde inte oroa sig för kommunikationsproblem. Att paddla genom mangroveträsken kändes väldigt lugnt och avkopplande, och Sota erbjöd sig även att ta bilder för att dokumentera denna unika upplevelse.

It was even more beautiful than I imagined! The sunset was absolutely stunning, and I think it will be an unforgettable memory. Our guide (MoMo) was also incredibly kind, which made the whole experience enjoyable! I traveled alone on foot, and everything went smoothly. There were also many couples, so I think this experience would be a great fit for anyone, regardless of how they're traveling. I'll definitely come back again! Thank you!

It was a fantastic experience! The instructor guided my child the entire time, and we saw sea turtles, clownfish, starfish, coral reefs, and countless tropical fish. The Blue Grotto was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend choosing 3 Piece; they are a professional and friendly team.

Det var så roligt! Coach Mayus detaljerade förklaringar och en säker men ändå rolig SUP-upplevelse. Kan rekommenderas även för nybörjare!

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.

One of the highlights of my trip to Miyakojima! Ken was incredibly responsive, friendly, and patient throughout the entire experience. Since it was my first time trying SUP, he explained everything in detail, started slowly, and gave helpful tips that made me feel comfortable enough to try standing! The area we were in was perfect for beginners and probably advanced riders too! The water was clear and we even spotted a stingray, which made the experience even more memorable. I’ve visited Miyakojima several times, and it can be hard to find high-quality excursions with English speaking guides, so this experience stood out even more. I did the tour solo and felt completely comfortable the entire time. Ken also took amazing photos that I’ll treasure from my trip. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Miyakojima. I’ll definitely be back for another excursion!

We visited as a group of five, and four of us participated in SUP. One person was concerned about swimming and only joined for the transfer, but the staff's service was very polite and reassuring. Our flight was delayed, but they kindly adjusted the time for us, which we truly appreciate. The SUP experience itself was enjoyable with thorough instruction, and we were very satisfied to receive many wonderful photos and videos. Thank you for a fantastic time! We made some great memories in Miyakojima!

Experiencing SUP in the mangrove jungle in Miyakojima—an area not even shown on Google Maps—was absolutely one of the best experiences of our trip. As a family with no prior SUP experience, we were quite nervous at first, but Ken made everything incredibly easy and enjoyable from booking all the way through to the end of the experience. Ken gave clear, patient, and beginner-friendly instructions, and he took exceptional care of our children (a 5th grader and a 1st-year middle school student). Our younger child struggled with paddling at first, but Ken kindly connected him to his own paddleboard so he could fully enjoy the experience. It must have taken a lot of effort on his part, but he handled everything with amazing professionalism, energy, and kindness. He also took plenty of great photos for us, helping us capture unforgettable memories. We can’t recommend this experience enough—especially for beginners. If you are visiting Miyakojima, this is an absolute must-do. Thank you Ken!
