Canoeing in Miyako IslandTour Reviews and Testimonials
fd
In just the morning half-day, I was able to fully enjoy both sea turtle snorkeling and SUP. I was thrilled to actually see a sea turtle while snorkeling! After having a great time in the ocean in the morning, it’s such a luxury to have lunch at Ocean Links and then relax in the large communal bath in the afternoon. I think this is the perfect plan for anyone who wants to make the most of their time.
d
The sea turtle snorkeling tour was so exciting—I got to see the sea turtles up close! The Pumpkin Cave was also incredibly impressive, and including the sea kayaking portion, I was able to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Miyako Island. I was also really grateful to have enjoyed a delicious, indulgent lunch and to have been able to refresh myself with a soak in the large communal bath. It was a truly fulfilling day!
ma
The Pumpkin Limestone Cave, accessible only by canoe, is truly a mysterious place—even the adults had a blast climbing around and jumping in! The SUP experience was also wonderful, with the crystal-clear “Miyako Blue” waters making it incredibly refreshing. The flow of the day—enjoying a delicious lunch after the activities and then freshening up in the large communal bath—was perfect. The guide’s support was kind and made us feel at ease.
Mayumi
It was a dream-like itinerary packed with everything I wanted to do on Miyako Island. From a leisurely paddle on a SUP, to the breathtaking sea turtle snorkeling, and the adventure-filled exploration of the Pumpkin Limestone Cave—I was excited all day long! Lunch at Ocean Links and a soak in the large communal bath in between provided the perfect respite, allowing me to enjoy every moment without feeling the slightest bit tired. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone visiting Miyako Island for the first time.

I had plans to visit cafes and shop for souvenirs in the afternoon, and since I wanted to join a tour in the morning, I was looking for a place to take a shower. It turned out this particular tour included both a bath and lunch, so I’m glad I chose it.
Miyagawa
I wasn't very familiar with the area, but it was great that the tour venue and the hot springs were only about a 5-minute drive apart!
Atsuko
There was a café I wanted to visit after the tour, and since I couldn’t go in while still wet, it was great that I could take a bath first. I think there are several places on Miyako Island where you can take a shower, but I don’t think there are many places with large communal baths, so if you want to relax in a bath, I think this tour is a good choice.
lala
It was so convenient—the tour included everything from activities to lunch to the hot springs! Since it’s a hassle to book everything separately, I think this is a great option for anyone who wants to leave it all to the tour company! You do have to get around on your own, but everything is relatively close by, so it’s no problem if you’ve rented a car.

I joined the Pumpkin Cave and Sea Turtle Snorkeling Tour.
The pumpkin stalactite caves were very mysterious with stalactites shaped like pumpkins, just as the name suggests. The sea turtle snorkeling was very impressive as we were able to see sea turtles. It was so cute to see the sea turtles up close as they surfaced to breathe. Thank you very much for the guide "Kyahikyapi-nira-chan" who was in charge of this time and guided us very kindly and happily.

We took the Sunset Canoe and Jungle Night Tours.
It was my first canoeing experience, but I was taught carefully and enjoyed it. The sun setting was really beautiful. We also saw a beautiful full moon during the night tour. Thank you very much for taking so many pictures. Our guide, Hiro-san, who spoke in Kansai dialect, was friendly and tried to entertain everyone, and it was a great memory.
