Plan introduction( SUP or Kayaking at Kabira Bay & Mangrove river )
This tour plan allows you to enjoy SUP or canoeing at popular spots in Ishigaki Island, “Kabira Bay” and “Miyara River”.
Kabira Bay is a famous scenic spot that was awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide.
Miyara River is also a natural spot with mangrove trees on both banks, and is designated as a national natural treasure.
Kabira Bay is known for its beautiful scenery, but the beauty of the sea is also outstanding.
The crystal clear waters of Kabira Bay are filled with coral and tropical fishes.
Please enjoy a relaxing cruising time while admiring the beautiful scenery and the sea.
In this tour, you can choose either SUP or canoeing.
SUP is often thought to be difficult to keep your balance, but it is surprisingly easy to learn how to use a stable board.
Most of the tour participants are beginners, but most of them can learn to ride SUP after about 5 minutes of practice.
Please take this opportunity to try SUP.
After lunch time, we will go to the Miyara River where you can see mangrove forests, a natural treasure.
Canoeing is even easier than SUP and rarely capsizes.
Even those who do not want to get into the water or those with small children can participate safely.
Both SUP and canoeing tours are conducted by skilled guides who will give you a detailed lecture before the tour starts, so beginners are also welcome.
You can feel the rich nature of Ishigaki Island’s ocean and rivers in this tour.
It is easy and enjoyable for everyone from small children to adults, so please feel free to join us.
