You often see this in guidebooks, on TV, and on social media, where you can canoe through a waterway that looks like a tree tunnel. In fact, this is not possible at any time, but only during high tide! "So when is high tide?" The tides change from day to day, so you need to do some research. But don't worry! Some days it will be held in the morning, and other days in the afternoon, but no matter what time you choose, we will take you to the mangroves at high tide. What's more, we will guide you on a private tour just for you. "Can I keep up with everyone...?" "It's awkward to be with strangers..." "What if I cause trouble to those around me..." Don't worry, there are no worries like these that are unique to group tours! This tour is suitable for a wide range of ages, from young children to the elderly.

With a private tour, you can relax and enjoy the tour without worrying about other customers. Small children, babies, grandparents, and energetic young people!

There are different ways to enjoy each! ⑤ Disband ☆ Consideration for animals We use lights to observe animals at night, but on our tours we use red lights, which are said to be difficult for animals to see, in order to reduce the stress of the animals. Some participants have said that red lights are difficult to see, so when observing, we ask that you switch to white lights only for the minimum amount of time necessary to take photos, etc. *There are areas where a fee for actual gasoline costs will be charged for transportation.
