SUP Experience at Shimazushima Island

A relaxing experience on the emerald green sea.

SUP(Standup paddleboarding)is a water sport, with roots in Hawaii, that involves standing up on a board and using a paddle to make your way through the water. 



Try your hand at standup paddleboarding at Watatsu Beach, located on Shimazushima Island, which is an uninhabited island connected to Chiburijima Island by a bridge. Here you can also enjoy the wonders of nature, such as the emerald green sea, the song of wind and waves, birdsongs and the landscape created by volcanic activity. 
The instructors will not only provide instructions on how to ride a SUP board, but will also be there to lead you through the experience; so no worries even if it is your first SUP experience!
