Plan description

Board a traditional Okinawan wooden boat, the "Sabani," and experience a cruising experience, watching the vermilion sunset paint the natural scenery of the Hirakubo Peninsula. Propelled by wind and oars, the Sabani offers a quiet, engine-free voyage while offering romantic views. This plan is recommended for couples and anniversaries, creating a special moment. ✨️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 seas.
