Guided tours to the best spots of the dayKohama Island is a small island with a circumference of about 16 km, so it is famous as a spot where SUP can be done year-round, even in winter when the wind is strong, by making good use of the island's leeward side.
There are 16 courses available, and the guide will select the best course according to the sea conditions of the day.
Everyone is welcome, from children to the elderly!
Unlike surfing, which has an intense image, SUP is done on a large, stable board in relatively calm waters or rivers.
You don't have to force yourself to stand absolutely on the board,It's a fun activity to sit down ☆.
Our guides will provide full support from the basics until you can stand up and paddle freely.

It was a short 60-minute course, so even I, who am not confident in my physical strength, was able to participate without any worries. It was too luxurious to paddle not only in the ocean but also in the mangrove.... The guide took us to the best spots of the day according to the sea conditions, so the wind was calm and it was really comfortable.
