Because of the stability of the board, it is possible to complete the tour without falling off until the end as long as you are aware of your balance and sit down to paddle.

Most of the water is deep enough for you to stand up even if you fall in, but we also wear life jackets just in case, so please don't worry. If you do not want to get your clothes dirty, we recommend that you wear a wetsuit.

The mangrove forests of the Bikubu River are on a different scale, and it was very relaxing to go slowly on the SUPs. We were very satisfied with the facilities, including hot showers.

I joined the tour with my girlfriend! The mangroves were so quiet and relaxing for both of us, and the SUP was a little difficult to balance, but it was good exercise. If I had to say, I would have liked to stay on it just a little bit longer!

My family and I participated in the winter-only mangrove SUP cruise, and the experience of touring through the mangrove forest by SUP was truly inspiring! The kids loved it and we had a great adventure in nature. The pictures taken by the guide were great and we were all able to look back on them when we got home. We also appreciated the free wetsuit rental. Thanks again for a really fun time!

I participated in the winter-only mangrove SUP cruise and it was truly an amazing experience! I was able to enjoy the beauty of nature while paddling through the mangrove forest on a SUP. The guide gave us a detailed explanation of the mangrove ecosystem and its creatures, which helped us deepen our understanding of the ecosystem and its creatures. I was also pleased with the free high quality photo service. We could also use the facilities after the tour so we could relax and unwind. I would definitely participate again next time!

I wanted to make my day in Okinawa special, so I joined the "Mangrove SUP Cruise on the Bikubu River," which was recommended to me by a cab driver. The experience of gliding quietly on the surface of the water by SUP in the warm nature of Okinawa, despite it being winter, was truly relaxing. It was a precious experience to observe various wild birds and creatures as we slowly made our way through the mangrove forest. The high quality photos taken by the guide were the best souvenir to remember this wonderful time forever. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to refresh themselves in nature!

It was refreshing to do activities in the mangroves in the winter! I saw fish swimming nearby while SUPing, and it was very relaxing to be surrounded by nature with no man-made objects. The guide was very kind and friendly!

From the pictures, I was not sure if I could stand up on the SUP and paddle, but I was able to balance easily and soon I was able to stand up and enjoy the SU cruise.

I was a little worried about the weather, but was very happy to see the mangroves. SUP was easier than I thought it would be and I was able to go along comfortably. I was able to take a lot of great pictures.
