Ishigaki Island: SUP or Kayaking experience at Kabira Bay｜Japan

Kabira Bay has been awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan for its shades of emerald blue.

Meet your guide at the Ishigaki Ferry Terminal and, after a friendly check-in, head to Kabira Bay, one of Ishigaki's most iconic spots, famous for its crystal-clear emerald waters, white sandy shores, and lush green islets.

On arrival, your experienced guide will give a 15-minute instruction session covering safety, basic paddling, and how to balance and steer your kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP). Instructions are tailored to your level, so beginners and experienced paddlers alike can head out with confidence.

Then enjoy a peaceful one-hour paddle across the bay. The water shifts between shades of blue and green in the sunlight, and its clarity often lets you spot coral, tropical fish, and other marine life below. Kayaking and SUP offer a quiet, eco-friendly way to take in the scenery at your own pace, while your guide keeps you safe, points out hidden spots, and shares local insights.

Your guide will also take photos with a waterproof camera, perfect souvenirs of your adventure.

Suitable for all skill levels. Life jackets and all safety equipment are provided, and small groups ensure personal attention. Escape the crowds and discover Ishigaki's most famous bay from a unique perspective.
