The traditional sabani, propelled solely by the wind, was quiet and comfortable, and I was able to relax while listening to the sound of the waves. I also enjoyed snorkeling on the uninhabited island at my own pace, and since the staff were so friendly and chatted with me, I didn’t feel lonely at all, even though I was traveling alone! I’m so grateful they took such wonderful photos for me.

530代Posted in August 2026I signed up for this tour because I was intrigued by the rare opportunity to ride on a traditional sabani. The feeling of gliding along with the wind was a fresh experience, and the sight of the sailboat floating on the ocean makes for a picturesque scene no matter where you take a photo. The water was incredibly clear while snorkeling around the uninhabited island. The tour included a photo session, and I’m thrilled with the wonderful shots the photographer captured!

420代Posted in June 2026It was a rare opportunity to ride a “Sabani,” a traditional Okinawan sailboat. The feeling of being propelled by the wind was incredibly pleasant, and the water was so crystal-clear that snorkeling around the uninhabited island was absolutely amazing. The sun is very strong, so sunscreen is a must.

540代Month of posting: 2026/05I participated in the desert island walking tour on a Sabani boat. I took my parents, who are in their 70s and elderly, with me, but they were very kind and courteous and gave us a very satisfying tour, including explanations about the Sabani boat and guiding us to the viewing platform on the deserted island. The weather was beautiful and I don't think there are many places where the sea is as beautiful as this.

530代Submitted Month: 2025/04You should definitely experience the Sabani tour. The feeling of the yellow sails catching the wind and moving through the Kerama blue sea is unmatched. It is also very fun to paddle together with everyone breathing in unison. Captain Sohei will take you to a deserted island and show you sea turtles by snorkeling. Whether it is your first time to Zamami or you are a repeat visitor, you are sure to have a great time. I am sure that both first-timers and repeaters of Zamami will be very satisfied with the Sabani tour! Next time, I would like to ask for a sunset tour.
