Sumiyo Mangrove Kayak
Kayak through Amami’s stunning mangrove forest, spotting fish, crabs, mudskippers, and other fascinating wildlife along the way. At low tide, mudflats emerge; at high tide, flooded trees create a magical ecosystem to explore. After paddling, enjoy a short walk to a secluded waterfall, surrounded by lush forest and serene waters, and discover more about this unique environment and its cultural significance.
For a full-day adventure, this tour pairs perfectly with the Uken Village Nature Trails, just a 30-minute drive away. Experience both Amami’s mangrove and subtropical rainforest ecosystems in one unforgettable day.
