Paddle through the jewel-green islets of Ise-Shima National Park on a guided sea kayak adventure — the only way to reach hidden coves, sea arches, and Ama fishing grounds invisible from any road or ferry.
What to expect
After a brief safety and paddling orientation, launch into the calm, sheltered waters of Toba Bay and weave between dozens of small islands fringed with black pine. Your guide points out active Ama diving spots, pearl cultivation rafts, and coastal bird life along the way. The water clarity in Ise-Shima is exceptional — look down to see sea urchins and starfish on the sandy floor. Suitable for fit beginners; no prior kayaking experience required.
Good to know
Duration is 1.5 hours, making it ideal as a morning activity before an afternoon at Mikimoto or the Aquarium. Waterproof dry bags are provided for cameras and valuables. Wear quick-dry clothing and water shoes. Book directly via the CruiseSheet Toba port listings, specifying your ship's date.
