Awesome day out - Really fun day out. Snorkelling was amazing. SUP was really cool. We saw the mangroves up close. Our guide Yuma really made the trip. He spoke perfect English and was fun to talk to :)

An unforgettable experience - This was incredible. We have been in Japan for three weeks and now sadly at the end of our holiday. Japan has been amazing but this was voted our favourite as a family. The guides were awesome and all activities well organised and fabulous. The snorkling and phantom island were mind-blowing and what a chance of a life time to see a coral reef. Our guides also took photos and shared (without additional charge). Would highly recommend.

A fun and meaningful tour - The tour was a meaningful and enjoyable experience. The good points were that we could see the magnificent view and experience something out of the ordinary. While snorkeling, we could see colorful fish and coral reefs, and the Phantom Island was a photogenic spot, so the tour guide took lots of photos for us. At the mangrove SUP, we were able to learn a lot about the secrets of the mangroves while getting some exercise. Please note that the sea in March is cold.

The phantom island was more beautiful than I expected! - We participated at the end of October as a couple in their 30s! It was a busy schedule with mangrove SUP in the morning, snorkeling and landing on the phantom island in the afternoon, but our guide Misaki made it fun from start to finish, and we got along so well that I wondered if we were all just three people. 🏝️ The water in the mangroves was surprisingly clean, and I was worried that I would get muddy if I fell in, but I was able to walk normally in the shallow areas and the water was clean. We were blessed with good weather for snorkeling, and were able to reach the point without getting seasick at all! During snorkeling, the guide pulled us with a kind of helper boat, so when I got tired of swimming, I relied on him and grabbed the board and went forward in the sea. 🐠 I couldn't see any clownfish, but I was soothed by the beautiful coral and fish. The phantom island was more beautiful than I imagined and I was very moved. I have wonderful memories, so I would like to ask you to come to Ishigaki Island again! Thank you very much!

Phantom Island Snorkeling Experience & Mangrove SUP Experience - The weather was great, so the sea was beautiful and we were able to enjoy the activities. The instructor who accompanied us gave us some recommendations for shops and helped us take photos, so we had a lot of fun during the experience! If I come to Ishigaki Island again, I'd like to experience this here! Thank you very much!

Best tour guides I’ve ever had - I highly recommend this tour. The agency emailed me the day prior regarding time and pick up location. Pick up location was easy to find. I was staying at hotel Miyahira, which was right across the street from the port. The English speaking guides were all extremely kind and helpful. There was a two hour lunch break after canoeing at the port with plenty of restaurants options and a Family Mart. Snorkeling was fun. The snorkeling equipment was all high quality. My sister was a first time snorkeler and was nervous. The tour guide stayed with her the entire time to guide her and ensure her safety. He definitely went above and beyond. Guides took pictures of us throughout on their Go Pros. Phantom Island was beautiful. The tour began around 9:00 and ended around 4:15. Everything was so convenient and everyone was so nice.

oldest~ - It was a wonderful activity! Everyone was very hospitable, but the instructor, TAKAHIRO, was especially attentive to his surroundings and took many wonderful photos! I'd like to use it again.
