【Sunset and Starry Sky Kayak Tour】
This is a special plan that combines two tours, “Sunset” and “Starry Sky,” which are usually offered as separate plans. Romantic sunset kayaking with the sunset over the ocean! Why don't you enjoy the magnificent scenery that you can only experience in Ishigaki Island? You can see the sunset spreading out in front of you from the kayak out to the sea. Enjoy the dynamic location of the island, sky, sea, and mountains. The magnificent scenery that changes with time will envelop you in awe. At night, the sky is full of stars and you have a moment with shooting stars. And the quiet beach is gently echoed by the sound of the waves and the chirping of the red-crowned nightingale. Depending on the time of year, “noctilucent worms,” which are marine plankton, glow faintly in the sea. Nocturnal creatures move about actively, and the charm of night kayaking is that you can see a different face from the one you see during the day. How about letting the island time flow slowly and relaxing your mind?
