【Tour Details and Important Note】

Begin your adventure by cruising through the tranquil mangrove river of Miyara, home to a lush hirugi forest that has been designated as a national natural treasure. This canoeing experience, a long-time favourite among visitors, offers a unique opportunity to explore one of Ishigaki Island’s most important ecosystems. As you paddle gently through the calm waters, you’ll be surrounded by dense mangrove trees and rich biodiversity, with chances to spot small wildlife and learn about the vital role these forests play in protecting the coastal environment.

Next, visit the famous “Phantom Island,” a magical sandbar that appears and disappears with the changing tides off the west coast of Ishigaki Island. Its ever-shifting shape and location give it an almost dreamlike quality. Step onto the soft white sand and take in panoramic views of the surrounding ocean before heading into the water for a snorkelling experience like no other. The clear, shallow sea is filled with colourful coral reefs and a variety of tropical fish, creating the feeling of swimming inside a natural aquarium.

Throughout the tour, your experienced guide will ensure your safety while also sharing insights into the island’s unique natural environment. Whether you are a beginner or experienced in outdoor activities, the pace is relaxed and suitable for a wide range of participants.

This eco-friendly tour is carefully designed with sustainability in mind.

Join us for a memorable journey that blends adventure, nature, and a deeper connection to the environment.
