• Maruhide Ishigaki Island's mangrove SUP tour takes place in the Fukitogawa River, a representative mangrove forest in northern Ishigaki Island. Unlike ocean tours, you'll leisurely explore the quiet river world surrounded by greenery on a SUP. Starting from the riverbank on your SUP, you'll paddle upstream into the mangrove forest. The mangrove tunnels stretching above you offer a fantastic view with sunlight filtering through the leaves. In this quiet space where only the sounds of nature, such as birdsong and rustling leaves, can be heard, you can forget about everyday life for a while. If you look closely at the water's edge, you can encounter creatures unique to mangrove forests, such as crabs and mudskippers. Our guides will carefully explain the creatures and plants, making it especially recommended for those interested in nature and wildlife, as well as families with children. We provide a thorough lecture before the tour, so even first-time SUP users can participate with confidence. Safety equipment such as life jackets are available for free rental. The tour is conducted in small groups and proceeds at a relaxed pace, allowing participants to enjoy the experience at their own speed. Photos and videos taken during the tour are provided free of charge. Take home the magical scenery of the mangrove forest and encounters with its wildlife. Showers are available after the tour, so you can freshen up and head straight to your next sightseeing spot. The tour takes approximately 2 hours (from meeting to disbanding). Enjoy exploring the mangroves amidst the magnificent nature of northern Ishigaki Island.
