Plan introduction( Mangrove Canoeing )
This is a canoe tour in Miyara River where hirugi forest, designated as a national nature treasure, grows thickly.
Let’s enjoy relaxing canoeing in Miyara River which is the longest river in Ishigaki Island and both banks are lush with trees.
On this tour, you will be lectured by an experienced guide.
Many families with small children participate in this tour.
The mangrove river is not easily affected by waves and wind, so you can cruise safely.
