From surfing to snorkeling, SUP, canoeing and fishing, or your choice of limitless scenic locations and fantastic restaurants across the island—anywhere is possible. Cultural tours such as dorozome (mud dyeing), shimauta (island songs), and the ever so good kokuto shochu distillery hop (island alcohol tasting!!!) also available. Get in touch to find out more.
