3.Ishigaki: Mangrove SUP or Canoe & Phantom Island Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 36 reviews · from $119

Spend six hours combining Miyara River mangrove canoeing or SUP with snorkeling near Ishigaki’s tide-shaped Phantom Island. Guides such as Ayaka, Sebastian, Misaki, and Arai offer clear instruction, though English coverage can vary. Weather may change the snorkel site or activity order.

“A friend and I went snorkeling this morning. Sebastian was an excellent guide! Very friendly and accommodating. He adapted perfectly to each individual participant. Afterwards we went on a kayak tour through the mangroves with Ayaka and Misaki. It was just as great and informative as the snorkeling. You can tell straight away that all three love what they do. Keep it up. I can only recommend it! :) Arigatou gozaimasu Ayaka, Misaki and Sebastian for this great experience! :)”
