*Please note that cruises may be canceled on the day depending on weather or sea conditions.

Brahmin kite flying experience
“ばらもん”とは、五島の方言“ばらか”に由来し、元気者や荒々しいという意味。武士が鬼に立ち向かう勇敢な姿が描かれた凧は、男の子の初節句に健やかな成長と出世を願って揚げられてきました。朝ドラ“舞い上がれ”にも登場した、鬼岳でのばらもん凧上げ体験です。
Saga Island Trekking Tour
Sagashima is an island formed by eruptions of two volcanoes: the rugged Odake and the gently sloping Medake. From lava rock that cooled and hardened to giant banyan trees reaching toward the sky, enjoy a journey that brings you close to magnificent nature.

Hike through the symbols of Fukue Island, such as Mt. Onidake and the Osezaki Lighthouse. Walk a course of approximately 1.5 hours while listening to a guide share delightful stories about the island. Spend time healing your soul amidst rich nature.

Climb Mt. Nanatsu, selected as one of the 100 Famous Mountains of Kyushu, or Mt. Tetatake, the highest peak in the Goto Islands at an elevation of 461 meters. From the summits, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the islands and coastline; the view of Takahama and Tontomari beaches from Mt. Nanatsu is particularly stunning. We invite you to take a small adventure into the great outdoors.
Local guide arrangements
We guide you from classic spots to hidden gems known only to local guides. Within the leisurely flow of island time, we invite you on a journey to touch upon history and culture and gain a deeper understanding of Goto.
Farm Experience and BBQ Lunch
Immerse yourself in the island’s nature with agricultural experiences such as harvesting vegetables and caring for calves. Enjoy the blessings of nature, which are felt more deeply when experienced and tasted with your own hands, alongside a BBQ lunch in an open-air location.

Camellia oil pressing experience
Experience the process of extracting precious camellia oil, of which only a small amount can be pressed from a single seed. In Goto, it is said that camellia oil was historically paid as a land tax in place of rice in areas with poor harvests, making it deeply connected to local life. Spend a moment feeling the blessings of nature and human wisdom while surrounded by the fragrant, gentle scent of camellia oil. You can take the pressed oil home in a bottle.
Coral Processing Experience
Engage in a mystical experience processing coral that has grown in the sea over many years. In Tomie, where coral fishing once flourished, a unique traditional technique called “Goto-bori,” characterized by delicate and deep carving, has been passed down. It is believed to have the power to protect the body from various disasters and illnesses, making it popular as an amulet. You can take your finished work home as a strap or pendant.

Use your favorite glass to create a keychain or photo frame to take home.
