Our guide Hiroki was... - Our guide Hiroki was awesome. He made the whole experience enjoyable and fun. He spoke in both English and Japanese as we were a mixed group but he never made anyone feel left out. We learned fun facts about mangroves and its history. He also helped us take photos for free and they came out great! Just note that your socks will be drenched and the boots they give you are not waterproof. Also make sure to bring water and use the bathroom beforehand.

Even my older siblings had a lot of fun! - “I was nervous about it because it was my first canoe, but my guide Sugi-chan was very friendly and kind to me. Adults and children alike are excited when going through mangrove tunnels! The river has no waves, so there are few tremors, and I was able to spend a relaxing time. I was happy to take a lot of photos and get the data.

Canoeing the Mangrove - Akari was our tour operator and she was very friendly and accommodating. She shared a lot of fun facts about the region and kept the group entertained and enthused. The canoeing experience was seamless for us and the two kids. Thanks to her and the team for taking awesome photos of us! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing canoe experience to the Mangrove!

Hilling's Time Jungle Canoe~ - The feeling of knitting between the dwarfs is Hilling's time~ It was lucky when the clouds stopped the sun. There is no shade, hats are necessary on hot days. It was a pleasant tour thanks to the friendly and clean guide Akari. We were the only foreigners and we were grateful for explaining in English for us. I asked a lot of questions, but I laughed and answered them without bothering. Thank you. ♡

Full marks for service and experience - It was my first time playing SUP, about 90 minutes, and it was a great experience. The location is in the Miyara River, flanked by mangroves, beautiful scenery, and a lot of unknown birds, the water is not deep so safe. We had 7 people in attendance at the same time and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. SUP is really easy, coach Akari's instructions are meticulous and will be mastered soon. The coach also showed us the nature of the Miyara River and the mangrove forests along the coast, which was very rewarding. Thank you so much Akari for driving me downtown after the end and she introduced local specialty restaurants along the way, really super thoughtful arrangements!

Great experience - This is the second time I go on a tour with Yuna-san and I enjoyed the experience. I did the SUP for the first time and the mangrove was a pretty good place to enjoy it. I definitely recommend

Fun and safe !! - The mangrove canoe tour experience was overall very fun! The guide Yuna was very helpful at explaining the spots and specifications of the places we went through while kayaking! I would recommend this to anyone who did or never tried canoeing before as they explained how to row and everything before going into the water!!

Perfect way to enjoy the mangrove - I really enjoyed this experience with Yuna-san. My friend and I did the mangrove canoe experience. Our guide was really kind and gave us many explanations throughout the tour. We went through really nice spots as well. I highly recommend this tour for anyone and would definitely do it again if I even come to Ishigaki again.

Great first time SUP experience, English speaking guide - Akari was very knowledgeable and a great instructor. I do not speak much Japanese and have never done SUP before but she made it easy. She also told us some facts about the river, took pictures for us, and gave excellent restaurant recommendations. 10/10
