Overview

Come on an uninhabited island adventure by sea kayak!

Large birds soar the skies while finless porpoises swim the coastal waters. Beneath the waves, fish swim and sea grass sways with the current, as Ama forage the sea floor for shellfish.

On this tour, you will visit 3 small uninhabited islands in Ise-Shima National Park. Large wild birds, Black Kites, inhabit these islands. From February to June, you can spot small finless porpoises called “Sunameri”, diving in and out of the water. In the sea, discover the mysterious underwater seaweed forests swaying with the underwater currents. In these conditions, the traditional fishing methods of the free-diving fishing women : Ama-san, can be seen. The Ama’s fishing history dates back over 3000 years in the Toba-Shima area. If you are lucky, you can meet them in person. This tour will let you experience the close connection between nature and Japanese culture.
The departure point is very close to Toba station and easily accessible. Our guide will assist you while kayaking, so you can enjoy it even if its your first time! Please mention at reservation if you need to rental (free) clothes and marine shoes!

    Absolutely brilliant experience, highly recommended. We were only in Toba for the day from a cruise ship, they picked us up and drove us to the kayaking beach, communicating beforehand via WhatsApp so we knew exactly what to do. Everything was ready and waiting, including water shoes in our sizes. We were the only ones kayaking so we had the place to ourselves, which felt so special, the guide was amazing and took us all around the area and pointed everything out, she even took lots of photos of us and sent them via WhatsApp afterwards. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and had plenty of time afterwards to go to the pearl museum and do a bit of shopping and eating by the port. We have some amazing photographs of the 5 of us kayaking, with the cruise ship in the background. Great value too, compared to the extortionate cruise ship excursions. We kayaked around all three tiny islands, explored two of them, went for a swim, saw oyster farms and had so much fun. No experience necessary. Book it!

    Kei-san, our guide was very friendly and responsive. She was also very careful in guiding us and making sure we stay away from the rocks.
