Ishigaki Iriomote Island Afternoon Mangrove SUP or Canoe & Sagariforrest (Barringtonia) Watching Tour

Explore the World Heritage jungle
by mangrove SUP or canoe in the afternoon

Meet your guide around 13:30 at Uehara Port or your hotel in the Uehara area and ride a PiPi vehicle to the activity field. The guide chooses the best field for the day's wind, tide and crowd conditions, so you can enjoy rivers and coastlines lined with mangrove forests and giant rocks. Depending on field conditions, the activity may take place at sea instead of in the mangroves.

Cruise comfortably in a stable canoe

Canoes are very stable and safe, so a wide range of ages from kids to adults can enjoy them. Even if it's your first time, the guide teaches you everything from how to get in to how to paddle, so you can join with peace of mind.

Try SUP even as a beginner

SUP is an activity anyone can try. Highly stable boards and safe fields are used, and most participants are beginners. The activity runs from 14:00 to 15:30, and you return to Uehara Port or your hotel around 16:00 to rest until evening.

View Sagaribana flowers in the jungle at night

Regroup around 20:00 and head to the Sagaribana viewing spot. The Sagaribana is a mysterious flower that blooms for only one night in summer, with white and pink blossoms and a sweet vanilla scent. While walking through the jungle you can also observe subtropical wildlife and, if the weather is good, see the starry sky. The tour ends when you arrive back at Uehara Port or your hotel around 21:15.

※ The schedule may change depending on the weather, tide and number of participants.
※ The regroup time varies slightly by group because hotels are visited in turn. Your guide will let you know on the day.
※ If the Sagaribana viewing is canceled due to bad weather, the night activity can be switched to the Starry Sky & Jungle Night Tour.
※ Sagaribana blooming and wildlife sightings depend on natural conditions and are not guaranteed.
