Okinawa Iriomote Mangrove SUP or Canoe Tour伏井涼, Sep 2026
Satisfied
I participated because I thought of Iriomote Island and mangroves.
Although the guide (Okkun) was not a local and was a new graduate hire, he possessed an abundance of information about Iriomote Island that was surprising, and it was clear that he cared for each and every tour guest, whether by taking photos of them during the tour or by trying to communicate with them.
I feel reassured that this company likely trains guides thoroughly before letting them work, even though the individual guide must be putting in a lot of effort.
The tour itself might be a bit sweaty and require some effort, but you can feel a sense of accomplishment.
Overall, I was glad that I was able to fully experience the World Natural Heritage sites.

Recommended for families with children! Canoe experience
It was my first time in a canoe, but it was fun to move forward by working together as a family!
You can see various creatures in the mangroves, so it's also recommended for families with children!
It was also fun that the guide, Jun-san, spoke to us in a friendly way!

Wonderful snorkeling
I participated in snorkeling at Ishigaki Blue Hole today, and I was very nervous because I was guiding three people who were snorkeling for the first time.The coach who guided us was Mr. Fuma, and he explained things very brightly and enthusiastically. I'm not very good at English, and we're not very good at Japanese either, so...There were a few small troubles along the way, but he was very patient and helped us meticulously, and we were very moved. Thank you to him.The overall experience was wonderful! I recommend you come snorkeling to my friend who lives in Taiwan.

Thank you, Se-chan.
Mangrove SAP & Balas Island snorkeling was great.
The kids are snorkeling for the first time. I was very lucky to meet sea turtles in such beautiful waters. Beautifully colored fish and corals of all sizes were all precious experiences. Thank you so much for all the photos we couldn't take ourselves. I'm glad I could watch it again and again as a memory. Sechan diving more and more, Sechan explaining in English, it was cool. Thank you for a day of enjoying the great outdoors.

Amazing sea.
The snorkeling of the Blue Cave tour was amazing! Many kinds of coral and fish were very beautiful.
My family told me that even my second son, who was difficult at the start of puberty, was kind enough to communicate with me, which was very helpful.
Thank you for those wonderful memories.

Canoe
At first I had booked a different tour, but it was cancelled and I had it transferred to this tour in a hurry. It was a lot of fun. Kawahira Bay as seen from the canoe was very beautiful.

Sunrise canoe
I've canoed a few times, but I've never seen such beautiful sunrises and mangrove forests. I was lucky enough to see the best sunrise. The guide was a good storyteller and I enjoyed it. I feel so wonderful and gained from working in the morning.

Great experience
SUP in the crystal clear ocean was an amazing experience. The contrast between the surrounding greenery and the sea is also beautiful. I enjoyed it for the first time because the guide taught me carefully.

A Great Samurai Experience
My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience learning Kendo from Taiji. He was very patient teaching us foundational techniques. I wish I could’ve had more lessons.
