Tour Highlights

- Explore the legendary giant cave, see waterfalls cascading into the ocean, cliffs over 100 meters high, and take in the spectacular scenery on a kayak!
Head out on a sea touring kayak- a stable one or two-seater- and paddle out into the rich blue sea! Of course your guide will teach you how to kayak, so beginners have no need to worry.
When you paddle out into the sea of Iwanai, at the base of the Shakotan Peninsula and the end of the Niseko mountain range, you will be greeted by a spectacular view. Bathe in the blue sea, known as Shakotan Blue, find a waterfall that flows into the sea, and explore a deep cave where the legend of Yoshitsune remains.
All of these are activities that can only be experienced by sea kayaking.

First time sea kayaking
A group of four girls participated, myself and my three children! We were blessed with good weather, the blue ocean sparkled, and sea kayaking with our own paddles really touched my heart, even though it was the Iwanai ocean that I usually see. I would recommend this to everyone as it's such a fun experience only 30 minutes from home! There were two guides, so both the front and the back were safe! The guides were friendly, and their conversation and smiles were wonderful! I think I'll be so hooked that I'll want to get my own sea kayak ☆ Both the kids and I had a great time!

First experience
It was my first time sea kayaking, and I was a little nervous, but it was a lot of fun! Once I started paddling out to sea, I immediately felt like an adventurer! This time it was a two-person trip, but next time I'll try going solo! The clarity of the ocean, the pleasant breeze, the overwhelming presence of the cave, everything was a first-time experience, and I was able to fully enjoy the extraordinary.

It was a great experience
We were a couple. There were no other customers that day, so it was a private tour. When I met our guide for the first time, I was surprised because he looked like a hermit, but he was very kind, fun and funny. I'd like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

My first sea kayaking trip was a lot of fun
It was my first time sea kayaking. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful Shakotan blue waters, exploring caves, getting splashed under waterfalls, and swimming in the ocean. My muscles were sore the next day, but I'm immersed in the memories of all the fun I had as I watch the videos I took over and over again. Thank you very much.

I really enjoyed the sea!
This was my second time sea kayaking, but this tour wasn't just about kayaking; we could go ashore and splash around over waterfalls and enter the sea, which was great. Kayaking into a pitch-black cave was also very thrilling. The guide was fun and we had a really good time. The feeling of freedom was great. I want to go again!
