Mangrove and Wildlife Tour

Enjoy both an impressive and must-do nature tour of Amami Oshima in just one day. Kayaking through the mangroves is the most popular activity, but it can be crowded during the day. We’ll start kayaking in the evening, when there are fewer people (or sometimes none at all). Explore the jungle while kayaking and you might even catch the sunset during your cruise. After the sun sets, we’ll begin wildlife watching. Amami is a wildlife paradise, and it’s recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its unique biodiversity.

What can you expect from the tour?

The second-largest mangrove forest in Japan is filled with tunnel-like waterways, offering many routes to explore by kayak. The area is a special protected zone within Amami Gunto National Park.

Unique Wildlife

Many of the nocturnal creatures on Amami Oshima are endemic to the island and its surrounding areas. Let’s observe these ancient species that have survived since prehistoric times.

Atmosphere

The mangroves and jungles of Amami have a distinctly subtropical atmosphere. You’ll experience a completely different environment from where you normally live.

Two Activities in One Day

You can enjoy two activities from evening into the night, allowing you to make the most of your time on the island more efficiently.
