Iriomote Mangrove Kayak
西表島マングローブカヤックOkinawa
An Iriomote mangrove kayak trip is a guided half-day on the island's tidal rivers, priced around ¥7,900 per person, with full-day combination tours running ¥12,500–15,000. Reaching the launch points means a ferry from Ishigaki Port, about 40 minutes, and then local transport, so this takes a whole day rather than a morning. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.
