SUP in Miyako IslandTour Reviews and Testimonials
k
I signed up for this tour because I wanted to try some water sports in the beautiful ocean. The water was so clear that I could see right through the board—it was truly stunning, and just floating there was the ultimate way to unwind! The guide patiently taught me how to paddle, so even as a beginner, I was able to stand up and enjoy myself right away. I was also happy to be able to wash off the sweat in the large communal bath after the tour and enjoy a luxurious lunch.
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.

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.
Mayumi
The sight of the sunrise over the calm morning sea was simply magical—I was truly moved! The SUP instruction was very thorough, so even as a beginner, I felt confident standing on the board. The breakfast buffet at Ocean Links after the tour offered a wide variety of delicious options, making it well worth getting up early to participate. I was also very happy that they took so many photos for me for free!
Sayaka
The SUP tour was so much fun! The hot springs and lunch spot both offered breathtaking views, and since there weren't many people there, it felt like a hidden gem—which was great.
Green Apple-chan
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.
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.
nana
I’d been thinking I’d like to grab breakfast somewhere after the sunrise, and when I happened to find a package tour that included breakfast, I booked it! Luckily, the weather was absolutely clear, the sunrise canoe trip was amazing, and I had a wonderful time enjoying breakfast at a spot with a great view.
