Awesome! My first experience was great! The shop confirmed my message early in the morning, but then overslept. We rushed to the shop, and they still let us reschedule. The coach even helped us take photos and immediately sent them to my phone. A wonderful experience!

Mga Bentahe: Nagustuhan namin ang aming tour sa Pumpkin Cave. Ang pagtalon mula sa kalabasa papunta sa tubig ay masaya! Maganda ang kayaking. Mga Disadvantage: Hindi namin nadala ang aming camera at kinailangan naming umasa sa mga larawang kinunan nila para sa amin. Sa kasamaang palad, hindi masyadong maganda ang kanilang mga larawan, may ilang maayos, ngunit karamihan ay malabo. Masikip. Sunod-sunod na grupo ang pumasok sa Pumpkin Cave.

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!

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 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 !
