I was there on my own, but the guide was so friendly and chatty that I had such a great time I didn’t even have a chance to feel lonely. Paddleboarding in the crystal-clear waters of the Oshima Strait felt absolutely wonderful, and the delicious bento lunch was the best.

SUP and snorkeling in Shirahama were absolutely amazing!! The ocean was unbelievably clear, and the coral reef was so beautiful I couldn't help but scream with excitement!!! The view from the board was incredible, and the island bento we had for lunch was super delicious—I was on a high the whole time!!! You absolutely have to try this!!!

You can enjoy both SUP and snorkeling in a single day, and since an island bento is included, I think it offers excellent value for the price. The coral reefs in the Oshima Strait were stunning, and the guide was very knowledgeable. However, since we were active outdoors all day, it would have been perfect if there had been more detailed advance guidance on sun protection and pacing yourself. Overall, it was a satisfying and fulfilling experience.

I felt this was great value for the money, as it allowed me to efficiently experience SUP and snorkeling in the Oshima Strait, and it even included an island bento. The beauty of the coral reef lived up to my expectations. However, since the activities were done back-to-back, it was a bit physically draining. It would have been perfect if there had been more detailed advance information about how the breaks were scheduled throughout the tour. Overall, I’m satisfied.

The beauty of the coral reef exceeded my expectations. However, since these are long outdoor activities, it would have been perfect if there had been more detailed guidance on where to find shade from the sun. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

I wasn’t very confident in my stamina, and I’d been worried for a while about whether I’d be able to keep up with a full day of SUP and snorkeling, but thanks to the guide, who adjusted the pace to my level and led us gently, my worries vanished immediately. I was able to fully enjoy Shirahama’s beautiful ocean and rich coral reefs without any strain, and I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour. I do recommend applying plenty of sunscreen, though.

The crystal-clear ocean stretching as far as the eye could see and the vibrantly colored coral reefs simply cleansed my soul. As I glided across the calm water on my SUP, it felt as though the hustle and bustle of everyday life was slowly melting away into the waves… I was also soothed by the gentle flavors of the island bento I enjoyed after a day of fun, and I was able to spend a truly peaceful and happy time. It’s the best memory ever…

We were very satisfied! We had planned to do a full day of sap & snorkeling, but they changed it to mountain and river sightseeing in the afternoon based on the weather that day. I am glad I came to Amami Oshima from Osaka! Yuu, who was in charge of the trip, was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and most importantly, very respectful as a person even though he was younger than me! Thank you very much!
