Ishigaki Iriomote Island Guests Only: Mangrove & Sunset SUP or Canoe Tour

Enjoy mangroves and the sunset
on two rivers from the afternoon

This is an afternoon set plan for guests staying on Iriomote Island. Enjoy a mangrove SUP or canoe in the afternoon and a sunset SUP or canoe in the evening, making the most of Iriomote's nature. The island's subtropical biome has a unique ecosystem at each field, so you can feel the biodiversity recognized as a World Natural Heritage firsthand.

Cruise the mangrove forest by SUP or canoe

About 80% of Japan's mangroves are on Iriomote Island. Choose between SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), a new activity drawing attention worldwide, and the canoe, a classic Okinawa activity, and explore the mangrove forest. The guide gives a careful briefing before you start, so first-timers can join with confidence.

Sunset SUP or canoe in the evening

After the mangrove activity, return to Uehara Port or your accommodation for a break. Then meet again, head to a recommended sunset spot, and cruise leisurely through the sunset scenery on a SUP or canoe. You can see Iriomote's evening scenery that daytime activities alone cannot show.

Safety gear and photo data included

Safety gear such as a life jacket and special shoes and full canoe equipment are included in the price, and the guide stays with you. You also receive photo data taken during the tour and a participant-only special page with restaurant coupons and hidden spot information.

※ The tour takes about 6 hours including transfers. The meeting time for the sunset activity varies by season and the guide will tell you on the day.
※ The schedule may change depending on weather, tide and the number of participants, and the tour may take place on the sea instead of in the mangroves.
