Excellent tour! - This was easily one of the best days of our Japan trip! Had a great time canoeing through the mangrove, very interesting to see it up close. We were originally supposed to go snorkeling at Ghost Island in the afternoon but couldn't because of the weather, and went to Osaki beach instead. Snorkeling there was great, we even ended up seeing a turtle! Our guide Taka was great as well, he gave some helpful and interesting information and spoke English pretty well :)

Memorable experience - Our family had a wonderful time. The tour was well organised and Taka, our guide was very passionate and informative and spoke English well for our benefit. The photos taken by Taka and provided after the tour are great memories with all of us together. Thanks for a great day.

Excellent Tours on Ishigaki! - Our mangrove and blue cave tour with Takahiro was absolutely excellent. He was very attentive, safety conscientious and knowledgable about Ishigaki! He has also taken excellent pictures of us! Excellent tour service and operator. Thank you

Adventurous day - We had a great day on Ishigaki. We got picked up by Taka in the morning, who turned out to be a really friendly and knowledge guide. He spoke English well. He took many photos of us during the whole day, so no need to bring your own camera. In the morning we went canoeing in the mangroves. We made several stops along the way to learn about the nature and take pictures. It was great. After the lunch break at the port, we headed to Osaki beach for snorkeling. The blue cave was not accessible, because the weather was windy. We took the coastal road towards Osaki beach, which was a memorable experience in itself with stunning views. Osaki beach had nice coral reefs, although they seemed to suffer a little bit from bleaching. Nevertheless we saw many colorful fish of various sizes and even a sea snake. We also found Nemo thanks to Taka who pointed us towards 'him'. Taka also dove to the bottom of the sea and helped us feel a sea cucumber. Taka took also many photos and videos of us from underwater. In total, we got 1 hour of canoeing and 1 hour of snorkeling, which made for an amazing experience.

Mangroves, Blue Cave, Snorkeling - We did SUP and snorkeling in the mangroves, but we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather, but it was a very satisfying and fulfilling trip! Both the instructors, Manaka and Takahiro, were very kind and fun, and they also gave us some helpful recommendations for shops. I would like to join this tour again if I visit Ishigaki Island. I would also highly recommend it to anyone planning to go to Ishigaki Island in the future!

SUP & snorkel - On March 28th, we had a very satisfying time at the mangroves in the morning, snorkeling in the afternoon, and exploring the Blue Cave. The instructors were the lovely smiling Gin-chan and Mei-chan, who were both young but had a wealth of knowledge and detailed explanations. I learned a lot from them, including about sea creatures, snorkeling rules, and about Ishigaki Island. I'm glad I joined the tour. I'd like to use it again when I come to Ishigaki Island.

it's the best - We had Moko and Shintaro as our guides. They were both very kind and gentle, and it was a fun experience that everyone was very satisfied with. If we have the opportunity, we would like to go on a tour with the two guides again. I would recommend this to anyone in the world.

Being in the ocean is the best! - Umino-san took care of us. He took us to two reefs and we were able to see fish that we couldn't see in Hawaii or Guam. Chinatown and the hotel were deserted and lonely. Even though it was the holidays, many stores in Chinatown were closed.

Best memories - 　The number of reviews was far greater than others, so I was a little nervous when I went, but the telephone service and on-site instructor were excellent. 　We went with three parents, including a nine-year-old boy. Our much-anticipated trip to the "Phantom Island" was cancelled the day before due to the tide, but we were given an alternative plan and went snorkeling from Osaki Beach, and in the afternoon we went on a canoe tour of the Miyara River as planned. It was my first time snorkeling, but the experienced instructor Mii-chan's careful explanations and attentiveness allowed me to participate with peace of mind. Mii-chan also took photos and videos for us. The water was very clear, and everyone was excited to see the coral reefs and cute fish dancing in front of us. 　For lunch, they suggested restaurants to suit each of our tastes, and also gave us recommendations for places near the ferry terminal, such as raw purple sweet potato tart and Genki cheesecake, so we enjoyed our free time until our afternoon meeting time. 　In the afternoon, we went canoeing on the Miyara River. We went canoeing in the refreshing breeze that blew from time to time, and all the photo data was sent to us, leaving us with wonderful memories. Thank you, Mii-chan! Thank you for all your help! Next, we'll try our hand at landing on the mysterious island of Hamajima♪

Not worth the time or money! Tourist trap! - When you book the tour it says it includes pick up service, but beware, if you are too far north, they will say you have to come to a meeting point in the south of the island. It starts too early to take the bus and a taxi will cost 35€ one way. So you can add 70€ to the price of this tour if you have a hotel in the north somewhere. The day schedule is 1 hour snorkeling in the morning and 1 hour SUP or kayak in the mangrove in the afternoon. That is it. The rest is transportation and around noon they just let you get lunch for two hours in the small town. The snorkeling itself is nice and the kayaking too, but for this price, it is not worth it. Snorkeling gear is easily rented elsewhere much cheaper (for example at jelly fish Yonohara beach) and even my hotel had a couple of kayaks available for 15€ and a mangrove river close by (Sunset Cove, also available for visitors). And forget about snorkeling at blue cave. We had perfect weather, no waves, no wind and they said the conditions weren't good (refusing to explain the reason) so they took us to Osaki beach. Nice place, but you can easily go there yourself. We were only on the island for 3 days and feel like we wasted a day with them. The tour guides are very nice guys though.
