540代Month of posting: 2025/10I was really happy to have hired this guide. ‼︎2 I was worried that I wouldn't be able to go for a couple of hours, but it didn't take long at all. I was worried about whether we would be able to go for 2 hours, but it didn't take long at all. He stayed with us the whole time so we could go to places we couldn't go without him, and most importantly, we were too happy just rocking in the canoe and watching the clouds flow. ‼︎ He also took pictures so we could leave a good memory of our girls trip. I will definitely ask for this guide the next time I go to Amami! I will definitely ask this guide again the next time I go to Amami! Thank you very much for responding to our passionate wishes even though a typhoon was approaching.

540代Month of posting: 2025/10This is my first trip to Amami Oshima Island! The main thing was mangrove canoeing, and it was a great decision to order this tour! It was my first time to canoe and it was too luxurious experience with magnificent scenery! It was low tide, so we went ashore and had a great time learning about the ecology of crabs and fish! This trip to Amami Oshima was truly one of my best memories! Thank you very much!

After the tour was over, we were able to say "thank you" to the other participants, which is something that can only happen with a small group, and I am glad that I was able to experience it here!

560代Submitted Month: 2024/04This was the second time for me to join the tour, but the first time was so much fun that I decided to come back with more family members. The weather in Amami is changeable and the forecast was for rain, but it cleared up and we had a great time. The tour guide was very attentive to everyone and took care of my 3 year old grandson so that he would not get bored, and I think my parents were able to enjoy the tour more because of that. It was a precious two hours of being healed by the splendor of nature, where we were able to see the scenery, plants, and creatures at close range!

530代Submitted Month: 2024/04I had a hard time handling the canoe at first, but with the kind guidance of the guide, I gradually got the hang of it and was able to paddle smoothly.

540代Submitted Month: 2024/04The experience exceeded my expectations and the 120-minute tour flew by. Thanks to the detailed explanations, I quickly became accustomed to canoeing for the first time, and the adventure through the mangroves was an unforgettable experience. The wind, light, and tranquility felt in nature were truly comfortable and a soothing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Another great point is that the course changes with the tide, which makes you feel at one with nature. It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to enjoy nature to the fullest while taking safety into consideration. I would highly recommend this tour when visiting Amami Oshima!

560代Month of posting: 2023/12The day before, the wind was so strong that the plane was conditioned, but on the day of the tour, we were able to proceed in such a relaxed manner that the guide said it was rare to have such a calm day. We went into narrow areas while listening to the stories of animals and plants. Even if we couldn't see the person in front of us, the guide gave us accurate advice so we didn't have to worry. It was a very satisfying 2 hours.

550代Month of posting: 2023/11I experienced this at the end of October. We were blessed with good weather and had a lot of fun in the sunny, hot weather, which was hard to believe that it would soon be November. It was my first time to canoe, but the canoe was big and stable (for two people). Even when we had trouble getting going, the guide carefully guided us, and thanks to his help, we were able to do the mangrove canoeing that we had longed for. Thank you very much.

530代Month of posting: 2023/10It was a rainy day at the beginning of October, but it was sunny that day, so it was great! It was the first time for all of us to experience canoeing, but the guide explained everything to us before we got in the canoe and always made us feel safe and comfortable. The wind got stronger on the way and my daughter and I, who were not strong enough to go on the canoe, were swept away and couldn't go on, but the guide immediately rushed to us and pulled us out to save us! LOL! It was really amazing that he also took pictures for all the participants! My family and I were talking about how we would like to go back to see the guide, who is kind to both children and women! The kids and the adults were so excited to see the banyan forest for the first time and to find crabs and big fallen seeds! It was really fun! It was a 4 days and 3 nights trip to Amami, and this experience became the most memorable one for my family. When we go to Amami again, I will make a reservation. Thank you very much for making it a wonderful time!

530代Month of posting: 2023/07I participated in the 120-minute leisurely mangrove canoeing experience and was very satisfied with the results! There is a free sandal rental for those who only have sneakers and don't want to get their feet wet, We had two guides and both of them were very kind and polite. Both guides were very kind and courteous. They explained not too much or not too little during the tour, and gave each of us plenty of time to enjoy the canoe and the scenery. When I was talking with my friend about something that caught my attention during the tour, the guide picked up the object and added it to the explanation, and when I tried to pick up a seed or leaf that had drifted into the river out of curiosity but could not pick it up properly due to the current, the guide casually picked it up and handed it to me later with an explanation. He also took a picture of us together and gave us directions to where to go after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and guide to anyone who comes to Amami Oshima.

The following is also attached to the email with directions When using a car navigation system or an online map, if you register your "phone number", you will not be able to reach our office in a distant place.
