Canoe tour was fun! Our tour guide explained everything in Japanese and English and made sure that noone was left behind. Due to the poor what conditions, We couldn't go snorkeling, but we were informed about our options before the day of the activity came. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. The paddling was rather relaxed, so no one needs to work about falling behind.

It was an incredible experience. Due to the weather, the actual location was not possible, but the suggested alternative was great!! Takahiko was a great guide and the pictures turned out great. My tip: don't take your own camera, you'll have enough wonderful memories :)
