Plan description

Enjoy a special experience aboard Okinawa's traditional wooden boat, the "Sabani," and cruise the beautiful waters of the Hirakubo Peninsula. Propelled by wind and paddles, the Sabani offers a quiet, engine-free voyage, while you enjoy snorkeling in spots filled with colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. This plan allows you to fully experience the charm of Okinawa's ocean while experiencing the feeling of being one with nature. ✨️What is a Sabani?✨️ Sabanis are traditional wooden boats passed down in Okinawa since ancient times. Powered by wind and sailing with no engine noise, they offer an exhilarating experience of silently sailing across the ocean. The feeling of rowing together is truly amazing! Since you'll be working together with the power of nature, even those who aren't confident in their physical strength can participate with peace of mind! Cruise the beautiful waters of Ishigaki Island on a Sabani, the same way our ancestors crossed the sea.

Experience sailing on a traditional Okinawan boat, the Sabani

Sabani is a traditional wooden boat from Okinawa that is propelled by wind and oars, allowing you to enjoy a quiet voyage without engine noise. Feeling the natural breeze as you cruise the beautiful waters of the Hirakubo Peninsula is an extraordinary experience.
