25 reviews of the mangrove & phantom island on Viator
We had helpful information ahead of the trip. Akari and Kenji were super friendly and chatty on the day. Akari gave us a great tour of the mangroves! Would recommend.
Akari was the best guide ever. Very kind and shared us a lot of fun facts so we can enjoy the tour.
I was lucky to have a SUP private tour with Iroha and she was such a kind and warm person to talk to! She showed me how to use the SUP right but always gave me enough room to try it on my own. The mangroves were beautiful and she was able to show me around the area. Would definitely do it a second time.
