430代Month of posting: 2024/08This was our first kayaking experience as a family, and the staff was very kind and made us feel at ease. I was especially impressed by the coral reefs and colorful fish we were able to see while snorkeling. It was like a different world in the sea, and I was very impressed. Also, when we went out to sea by kayak, the beautiful scenery spread out like something out of a picture book, and I felt as if my heart had been washed away. The instructor taught us in detail about marine life and the environment, and we had a wonderful time, not just for leisure, but also for learning. It was an experience that satisfied the whole family and made us want to come back again!

540代Month of posting: 2024/08This was my first kayaking experience with my family of three. My husband and I paddled in the middle, and my 9-year-old son kept shouting "Ichi, nee, ichi, nee, ichi, nee," so that we could keep up with each other. When I told him that my voice would get dry, he replied that he wanted to reach the goal with the three of us, and when we safely crossed the beautiful ocean for about two kilometers, I felt a sense of excitement and accomplishment that I had never felt before. Thank you so much to our instructor, Mr. Hamakko. He taught us a lot of knowledge about the ocean and all three of us had a great time. I will never forget the experience of crossing the waves as a family united after a long time apart. Thank you very much.

430代Month of posting: 2022/07The talk was a bit long, but the content is very important and you should hear it all the way through. Also, this tour is not for those who intend to get the data of the photos during the tour. It would have been better if we could get the photos. However, the tour is more aggressive than mangrove canoeing, and it is recommended for those who want a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from the tour, while mixing in technical skills and trivia knowledge. The most important thing is that Mr. Hachiman, a marine adventurer, was our guide, so we had a very memorable and valuable time. It was a great memory of our honeymoon.
