In terms of fun factor, definitely 10/10. We had tons of fun canoeing and swimming in the cold water. However we want to point out that it is not safe to hike wearing wetsuit shoes, no matter the fitness level, you should let the group wear proper hiking boots. Food was simple yet filling. Still overall a lot of fun.

We had an excellent experience with this tour group. There was a tour guide fluent in English and he gave a very proficient lesson on snorkeling in shallow water before going to the reef. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Phantom island was beautiful and the guides were very friendly with taking lots of pictures for us on the sandbar.

Snorkeling and canoeing were amazing. It was quite windy and the currents were a bit string but Yudai-san did what he could so we can still have a good time.

We went on an afternoon kayaking trip in the mangrove, where we after a short trek ended by a beautiful waterfall. We were wearing special shoes provided by the company, as the stones were slippery in places. We ‘showered’ in the waterfall and bathed in the small pond in front. Very invigorating! It was an excellent small expedition, and Yuki was the nicest guide you can imagine!! He also took a lot of pictures on the trip, which he has sent us, so that was really, really nice & highly appreciated. Unfortunately, I have not got them on this device for uploading

Promised English translation was non-existent. We took a bus from the port and the driver spoke Non-stop, I kid you not it was non-stop all the way to the activity in Japanese. Once we got to the ox cart ride, again no translation at all, plus we were told we only had about 15-20 minutes before our bus left. No English support. I am only complaining as the tour advertisement said there was translation support before I signed up.
