Great trip with really friendly tour guide - We really enjoyed our tour. Myself and my husband attended and there was only one other lady on the tour with us so it felt really personal. Our tour guide Takahiro and his colleague were very friendly and welcoming. Takahiro spoke good English and took time to explain things to us in English as well as in Japanese for the other lady. The mangroves were beautiful and the river was easy to paddle in. we got to see some wildlife and Takahiro pointed things out and explained things to us really well. Takahiro took some great pictures on his go-pro which he sent us afterwards so we didn’t have to risk losing our phone/camera in the water. Thank you for a lovely trip! We would highly recommend!

Mangrove SUP - It was my first time doing SUP, but I was able to paddle without falling because I was properly instructed! It was very calm in the mangroves, and the weather and scenery were great! It was fun! I hope to see you again when you come to Ishigaki Island!

Reservations outside the travel plan - Although it was an individual reservation outside of the travel agency's plan, the service was polite and the final confirmation over the phone the day before went smoothly! On the day of the event, we were able to enjoy the activities after receiving detailed explanations at the meeting place, so it was a great experience! The guide's older sister was bright and had a lovely smile, and we had a fun canoeing experience! Thank you very much😌

Enjoyable memories of Ishigaki come from a canoe tour! - It was a lot of fun! We were blessed with good weather, and the Miyara River was slowly rowing through the mangrove forest in the most gentle breeze filled with negative ions (I don't know what negative ions are, haha). To be honest, it feels like a big city. As someone who lives a brutal life, this is the best time to cry quietly. This was my first time riding a canoe, and the staff member who guided me was very bright, polite, and easy to understand, and taught me how to steer the canoe, so I was able to enjoy the activity without any worries. While riding in the canoe, ask the staff member to take your photo (and you can send the photo data afterwards!), so you can leave the most enjoyable memories for the next generations of your family. I'm not saying anything bad, so when you come to Ishigaki, shut up and go canoeing through the mangroves on the Miyara River. My heart is cleansed. You can regain your childhood and experience the wonders of being in nature from the bottom of your heart. In addition, Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi's ability to accommodate same-day and last-minute reservations is truly wonderful. thanks so much! Ishigaki Island is awesome!

Mangrove SUP was great for small children too. Even adults who weren't confident in their athletic ability could do it! - I participated with my family, including my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children. At first, I thought canoeing would be good, but the company called me and recommended SUP because the water level is low and it's easy to get stranded. I was worried about whether my children would be able to do it because they were young, but when I told them that over the phone, I received a reassuring answer. The explanation over the phone was also very kind and solid. We decided to participate in SUP and headed to the meeting place. The staff member who came to pick us up was very clear and talked about various things while driving, and the atmosphere was fun. He explained how to ride and tips in an easy-to-understand way, and the children were attached to the staff's board and towed, so I felt at ease. I myself am not good at sports, but we were able to stand up right away. I think it's an activity that you can enjoy at a leisurely pace without rushing. The negative ions were very soothing! I was also happy to receive a lot of photo data. It was a good experience for the children as well. It was my husband and I's first time SUP, but we said we were glad to be taken care of by such an honest company. If I go to Ishigaki Island again, I would like to order from here! Thank you for your help!

Very satisfied!!! Pipi is the best👍 - I participated in a SUP experience in the Miyara River mangrove forest! Initially, I wanted to try SUP in the ocean, but the mangrove forest was more fun with the sense of adventure of moving forward and the changing scenery, so I'm glad I chose this! ✨ It was my first time, so I was a little nervous, but the instructor was very friendly and gave a thorough lecture, so I felt at ease until the end 🤝 Next time I come to Ishigaki Island, I'd like to come and play with Pipi again ☺️ Thank you for the valuable experience!!!

First SUP experience - It was my first time SUP so I was a bit worried about whether I would be able to stand up, but the guy in charge kindly taught me and I was able to stand up properly and had a great time! I'd like to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island! Thank you!

First time SUP - I went with a friend! We chatted with each other as we went along. After playing rock-paper-scissors and diving into the river, we no longer hesitated about getting wet and we all had laughs trying to knock each other down. The instructor's explanations were easy to understand, so even beginners to SUP should enjoy it!

Canoeing - It was my first time using the service, but canoeing in the nature was a lot of fun. I was able to see the mangroves up close and the scenery was amazing. The guide was also friendly and we had a great time! I'd like to use the service again when I come to Ishigaki Island.
