Is SUP/canoeing difficult?

マングローブSUP/カヌー

Conclusions,SUP and canoeing are not difficult!

 

SUP and canoeing are very stable vehicles, so they are relatively low-difficult activities even for those who are not very athletic or do not have a good sense of balance.

 

Also, unlike the ocean, mangroves are less affected by wind and straits, so the sea surface is often calm.

I joined the mangrove tour of Irabu Island. It was nice to enjoy both the river and the sea. They also took a lot of pictures for us. I recommend this tour to anyone who is considering a trip to Miyako Island!

I chose this tour when I visited Miyako Island. Unfortunately, we could not go to the blue cave because of the wind, but we were able to enjoy the mangrove and sea turtle snorkeling at a different location and were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

I had been to Miyako Island several times and chose this tour because I wanted to go to a place I had never been before. The Blue Cave was just as blue and mysterious as the name suggests. The mangrove was great because the wind was calm and we could enjoy it leisurely. Thank you very much.

I thought I could go to the sea of Miyakojima on my own, so I chose a mangrove tour, which seemed to be difficult to do only on a tour.
The older brother of the guide was very attentive to me throughout the trip and I was able to enjoy the suup without falling off safely.
Thank you very much!
