  • Maruhide's Ishigaki Island kayak and snorkel tours are held at private spots that our guides have cultivated over many years. Enjoy the calm waters of northern Ishigaki Island, untouched by tourists and other operators, and leisurely appreciate the coral reefs and tropical fish. If you're lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle. The tour involves kayaking to the snorkeling spot, enjoying snorkeling, and then returning by kayak. During snorkeling, the guide will tow the kayak with a rope, so you can get out of the kayak at any time if you're tired or unsure. Families with children and seniors can participate with peace of mind. Once out on the water by kayak, you'll be treated to stunning views of Tamatorizaki Observatory and Hirakubo Lighthouse from the sea. The liberating view from the water is a unique experience only available on this northern Ishigaki tour. Snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins, life jacket, and marine shoes) is all available for free rental. Wetsuits are available for an additional charge. You can participate without bringing anything, making it easy to enjoy even while traveling. Before the tour, we'll provide thorough instruction on how to operate and use both kayaks and snorkeling gear. The tour is conducted in small groups, allowing for a relaxed pace tailored to each participant, making it perfect for first-timers. On calm days, we also offer complimentary drone aerial photography. Photos of you floating on the sea in your kayak, or with Tamatorizaki Observatory and Hirakubo Lighthouse in the background, are unique and can only be captured in northern Ishigaki Island. You'll also receive free photos and videos taken during the tour. Showers are available after the tour, making it ideal for a quick stop on your way to other northern sightseeing spots like Tamatorizaki Observatory or Hirakubo Lighthouse. The tour takes approximately 3 hours (from meeting to disbanding). Why not enjoy both kayaking and snorkeling at this hidden gem in northern Ishigaki Island?
