The sea turtle and mangrove canoe tour combo was absolutely amazing!! The ocean was absolutely stunning, and when I saw a real sea turtle, I screamed my head off!!! Since it’s a private tour, you can have fun without worrying about anyone else, and the mangrove river feels just like a jungle adventure—it’s so much fun! You even get photos and videos, so if you want to fully experience Amami’s great outdoors, this is definitely the way to go!!! ★

I wasn’t very confident in my physical stamina, and I’d been worried the whole time about whether I’d be able to keep up with a full day of snorkeling and canoeing. But since it was a private tour, the guide kindly adjusted the pace to suit me and led the way gently, which made my worries disappear in an instant. From swimming with sea turtles to experiencing the mangrove ecosystem, I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

The last time I visited Amami, I was taken care of by this local guide and was so impressed that I decided to book a private canoe and snorkeling package again this time. As always, the guide’s guidance was meticulous, and his skill in ensuring we’d see sea turtles—almost every time—is truly impressive. The majestic scenery of the mangroves was also incredibly soothing; it’s a wonderful tour that never disappoints, no matter how many times I participate.

First, we met up with our local guide and headed out on a private boat to the area where the sea turtles live. Next, we went into the water and enjoyed the rare experience of swimming with sea turtles in the crystal-clear water (phew). After that, we headed to the mangrove forest and leisurely paddled our canoes while listening to the birds singing. Looking back at the photos and videos we received, I truly realize what a wonderful day it was.

Swimming alongside sea turtles in the crystal-clear waters of Amami and paddling a canoe down a quiet mangrove-lined river were wonderful memories of a luxurious solo trip where I was completely immersed in nature.

My daughter was a little anxious before getting in the water, wondering if it would be safe.

We took the canoe and snorkel tour and had a great time as a family. We were politely called out many times during the tour, I felt very safe and enjoyed the tour. The explanation of the mangroves was very easy to understand. It was very interesting to see new things and hear new things for the first time. During the snorkeling tour, my child was taken care of from start to finish, and even though she was anxious about swimming in the sea, she was able to enjoy the tour with a smile on her face and a sense of security. We were lucky enough to see turtles twice, which I had heard that the chances of seeing them are low. We took a lot of pictures, including video, and it was a great memory for us.
