Yubushima Island

The weather on the remote island is unpredictable, so the staff were flexible and adjusted the schedule based on the forecast from the previous day. For example, on days with strong currents, SUP was difficult (you'd be swept away), so they opted for a different activity instead. There was a part where we had to swim 50 minutes each way to Barasu Island, and it was great that we could choose whether or not to participate depending on our physical condition and mood. When canoeing through the mangroves, you'll be submerged in water up to your knees, so quick-drying clothing will make it more comfortable. Even though it was my first time, I quickly got the hang of it. The guides took photos at various points, so you don't need to bring your smartphone (in fact, if you do, you'll be too preoccupied with the terrain). In the afternoon, we took a water buffalo cart ride and strolled around Yubu Island. It was a special experience where we could truly feel what it's like to live in harmony with nature, and I'm so glad I signed up for the tour.

We were blessed with good weather and were very satisfied with the one-on-one tour. Our experienced guide adjusted the kayaking and trekking to our pace. He had extensive knowledge of the local flora, fauna, and nature, and we were able to spend a meaningful time without getting tired. However, the only way to contact them was through the KKday website, which was very stressful. I would like to be given a phone number where I can contact the tour operator directly after booking.
