🏖 Blue Cave (SUP only)
The Blue Cave (Ishigaki Island), a popular spot on Ishigaki Island, is a special place where a fantastical landscape created by nature unfolds.
The sunlight streaming into the cave reflects off the seawater, creating a scene that glows a vibrant blue throughout the cave—a truly extraordinary sight. The color changes depending on the time of day and weather, so you can enjoy a different beauty each time you visit.

The surrounding sea is highly transparent and is a popular snorkeling spot with colorful tropical fish and coral reefs. If you're lucky, you might even encounter sea turtles, making it a world of the sea that will satisfy both beginners and experienced snorkelers.

🌊 Kabira Bay (Kayak or SUP)
A representative scenic spot of Ishigaki Island.
Enjoy the calm sea surface and emerald green scenery from the water.

🌿 Mangrove (Kayak or SUP)
A nature experience course that takes you slowly down the river.
With less wind influence, you can enjoy mangrove tunnels and observing wildlife.
Recommended for those who are not comfortable in the sea or who prefer a calm atmosphere.
The opposite shore is right on the sea, so you can also enjoy an experience in the sea when conditions are calm.

It's popular for leisurely cruising while enjoying the scenery on the sea, rivers, and lakes.
