New5 hFree cancellationBy M-Ride

About this activity

Begin your private shore excursion with pickup directly from Ishigaki Cruise Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with other travelers, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

Both tours visit Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave, the beautiful Kabira Bay, and the Emerald Sea Observatory for panoramic island views. The 5-hour tour also takes you to Yonehara Palm Grove, where you can experience Ishigaki’s subtropical nature and native Yaeyama palms.

The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.

Choose the 3-hour tour for the main highlights or the 5-hour tour to explore more of Ishigaki before returning to the cruise port.
