Morning in Miyako Island
First of all, let me briefly introduce Miyako Island.
Miyako Island is located approximately 300 km southwest of the main island of Okinawa.
Since the island was formed by the uplift of coral reefs, it is known for its flat terrain and lack of high mountains.
There are no large rivers on Miyako Island, and muddy water rarely flows into the sea.
This keeps the sea clear and transparent.
Miyako Island has many sightseeing spots, but because of its flat terrain with no mountains, beautiful ocean views can be seen from everywhere.
in additionThe reason for the popularity of Miyako Island is that there are many attractive outlying islands around the island, and these islands can be easily visited!
As the Miyako Archipelago is often lumped together, there are various outlying islands scattered around Miyako Island.
Some of these islands can be reached by car from Miyako Island.
For example, Irabu Island, Kuruma Island, and Ikema Island are connected to Miyako Island by bridges.
There are several bridges between Miyako Island and Irabu Island, Miyako Island and Kurima Island, and Miyako Island and Ikema Island, making it possible to travel between these islands by rental car.
The Irabu, Raima, and Ikema Bridges are called the "Three Great Bridges.
If you go to the trouble, you might as well get up early and try to cross all three major bridges and conquer them all.
Miyako Island seen early in the morning, the sea seen from Miyako Island, and the sunrise are all beautiful, but you can also see the sea and the sunrise from Irabu Island, Kuruma Island, and Ikema Island, all of which are conveniently accessible from Miyako Island.
Because of Miyakojima's flat terrain, sunrise can be seen clearly from the moment the sun rises from the horizon.
There is no doubt that the beautiful sunrise and sunrise views while exercising on a SUP or canoe will leave you feeling refreshed and cool, as if your whole body has been washed.
Why don't you enjoy Miyako Island in the morning when you can spend such a refreshing time?
Advantages of early morning activities on Miyako Island
What are some of the advantages of early morning activities on Miyako Island, some of which I touched on a bit above?
When you visit Miyakojima Island, you may have fun from noon until late at night, and wake up in the afternoon.
Of course, playing during the day or late at night is great fun, but there are advantages to playing early in the morning.
Let's take a brief look at its benefits.
The first benefit is a pleasant start to the day.
This has been discussed above, so we will omit the content of this article.
The second benefit is easier scheduling.
In the afternoon, it is easier to schedule the day for other activities, sightseeing, or appointments to meet with others.
In other words, by being active in the morning, it will be easier to flex time for other activities and appointments afterwards.
This is also a good option for those who want to do activities on the day they return!
This is because morning activities will give you plenty of time to prepare for your trip home and shop for souvenirs.
You can enjoy your time in Miyako Island until the very last minute by doing activities in the morning and heading home.
The third advantage is that it is less crowded than during the day.
After all, many people aim to participate in daytime activities, so it can be very crowded, especially during the hot season in July and August.
On the other hand, early morning activity tours, even during the hot season, are much less crowded than daytime tours, so you can experience activities with more freedom and spontaneity.
The fourth advantage is that early in the morning, the temperature is not so much higher than during the day.
Whether sightseeing or experiencing an activity, high temperatures can make it difficult to concentrate on the activity and enjoy it because of the heat.
In summer, there is a risk of heat stroke, and the strong sunlight may cause severe sunburn.
In this regard, by doing activities in the early morning when the temperature is not so high, you can concentrate on the activity in a pleasant temperature and avoid heat stroke and severe sunburn.
The sea of Miyako Island is very popular because it is extremely clear and beautiful, and it is often inevitably crowded.
However, if you visit in the early morning when there are fewer people, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the scenery in a relaxed atmosphere.
Sunrise Tour of Miyako Island
Sunrise SUP Tour
You can enjoy SUP, a new popular activity on Miyako Island, even early in the morning!
SUP is a new type of activity that originated in Hawaii, in which you stand on a board and paddle through the water.
It has become very popular in recent years.
As you paddle along the surface of the sea in the clear morning air, listening to the chirping of birds, you may feel as if you are one with the magnificent nature of Miyako Island.
As you bask in the rays of the sun as it gradually emerges from the horizon, your entire body will be filled with energy.
As some people do SUP yoga here and there, exercising in a clearer environment in the morning is good for both body and mind.
The clean air and the gradually warming sunlight will give you a pleasant start to the day!
(2) Sunrise Canoe Tour
Next up is Sunrise Canoeing!
Canoeing is a classic, old-fashioned activity, but it is also excellent in the sense that it does not use power and does not burden the natural environment of Miyakojima.
Since the canoe is paddled by yourself using oars, just paddling the canoe gradually brings you to a state of wakefulness and a good awakening.
On the other hand, those who want to relax can leave the oars in the boat and enjoy the waves slowly!
The sensation of being rocked by the waves while basking in the morning sun is like being in a cradle.
The canoes used in the tours are very stable and rarely capsize, so those with small children or those who are not good swimmers can participate with peace of mind.
Of course, life jackets will be worn, so you can rest assured that you will be safe even in the event of a capsize.
Enjoy a relaxing and exquisite morning canoeing experience.
3) Early morning snorkeling tour of Yaehigase
Miyako Island is home to the Yaebise, the largest tabletop coral reef complex in Japan.
It is home not only to abundant coral but also to a wide variety of fish.
This time, we would like to introduce the early morning snorkeling tour of the Yaebise!
Did you know that the transparency of the ocean, not only on Miyako Island, fluctuates depending on the time of day?
Of course, transparency varies depending on various conditions such as plankton levels, weather conditions, and sea conditions.
However, when considering the time of day, conditions for high transparency are especially easy to find in the morning!
During the day, as the temperature rises, the water temperature rises and plankton levels increase.
In addition, because of the heavy human traffic, sand and mud on the seafloor roll up and reduce the transparency of the water.
There are others, but one of the most popular reasons, largely for this reason, is that early mornings have a higher probability of clearer waters.
4) Early morning retreat healing tour
The next tour is a retreat tour!
The word "retreat" means "evacuation, retreat, retreat, or quiet retreat.
Although the name tends to be taken backward, it is actually very positive.
It is an activity that originated in the United States with the goal of breaking free from the bonds of work, childcare, and relationships to take a walk in nature!
This tour starts around 6:00 a.m. and allows you to enjoy the early morning of Miyako Island.
First, we gather at the beach where we can watch the sunrise and stretch while feeling the sunrise with our whole body.
Enjoy the feel of the sparkling white sandy beach while looking sideways at the spectacular Miyako blue ocean.

3) Wake up early and explore the Upuki Forest Nature Tour of Miyako Island's largest forest
Lastly, we will introduce you to an exploration of the largest forest on Miyako Island, the Upuki Forest!
If you enter the Uppuki Forest early in the morning before breakfast, you can hear the sounds of small animals and birds chirping, as this is the time when the creatures of the forest are also awakening.
Migratory birds such as kestrels and crow pigeons can be observed throughout the year, and during the summer season from May to August, migratory birds that nest and raise their young on the island can also be observed if one is lucky.
Other inhabitants include red-crowned nightingales and sunbirds, whose very pleasant and clear calls can be heard.
Many bird species inhabit such an upland forest, but the most popular of all is the bull dove.
The name "bull dove" comes from the fact that its call sounds just like that of a cow.
The bull dove season is from May to September, so you might want to keep your ears peeled for bull doves at that time of year.
You can also hear their distinctive calls on the Early Bird Exploration Tour.
Experienced guides who know the Uppuki Forest well will accompany you and answer any questions you may have, making your exploration of the Uppuki Forest an enjoyable experience!
