Miyakojima Starlit Jungle Night Tour

A starry night in Miyakojima

When the tour begins, we first check the sky conditions for the day. Miyakojima has little artificial light, so on days when conditions are right, you'll experience a moment where the stars are completely visible. The entire sky sparkles, making it one of the most memorable moments of your trip.
The guide will show you the best directions and points of interest for the day. They'll guide you toward constellations you might otherwise overlook, and find places with clear views of the stars. On a clear starry day, the sky feels like a natural planetarium.
Miyakojima's nighttime atmosphere is completely different from its daytime. As darkness falls, nocturnal creatures begin to stir among the subtropical vegetation. Take a leisurely stroll through the jungle paths and observe the unique flora and fauna of Miyakojima. The key is that this isn't just a simple walk; the guides are on hand to spot life that's often overlooked, making it even more enjoyable. Being able to see scenes you might otherwise miss on your own up close is incredibly satisfying. Observing nocturnal creatures varies depending on the natural environment. Even on the same tour, the encounters can vary from day to day, making a lucky night an even more special experience.

Safe even at night! Guided jungle exploration

The appeal of this tour is that it doesn't just stop at a set location. A local guide will guide you to the best spots based on the weather, wind, and visibility of the day. By taking you to spots only locals know about, you'll experience a deeper side of Miyako Island's nightlife.
Safety is paramount on night tours. Guides adjust the pace based on the course's difficulty and ground conditions, and proceed at a comfortable pace. Flashlight rentals are included, reducing preparation burdens. Even beginners can participate, as they can keep their feet safe even in the dark.

※ The tour will basically proceed even in rainy weather, but may be canceled if safety issues are deemed to exist on site.
