Sightseeing boat
We offer a variety of sightseeing boat courses around the Shimanami area. Popular courses include the Shimanami Kurushima Strait Sightseeing Boat, where you can experience the rapids up close and see the impressive giant ships of the shipyard, and an optional course that allows you to land on a small island full of romantic history and explore the remains of the Meiji-era Geiyo Fortress. Depending on the season, we can plan sightseeing boats to coincide with events, and offer private chartered fishing experiences where you can enjoy unlimited fishing, or even a BBQ after fishing!
