Designed for beginners to enjoy with peace of mind, it is chosen by many guests. = Double seater = Recommended for families with small children or when riding with elderly people. You can experience the fun of rowing together in unison. Mangrove forests are places that are affected by the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. The characteristic of this tour is that you can enjoy different scenery depending on the ebb and flow of the tides. At low tide, it is easy to observe the ecosystem under the water, and at high tide, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the mangroves from the water. Experience the extraordinary beauty of each time of day when you join the tour and enjoy a new encounter with the nature of Amami. Our tours go from the upstream of the river to the mouth of the river. The course then mainly returns upstream from the river mouth. You can choose the meeting place according to your convenience. You can meet at our free parking lot near the airport in the north of Amami, or if you are staying in Amami City, which is on the way to the canoeing venue, you can meet in the city or meet at the site!
