Night Kayak Adventure on Sado Island
Night kayaking around Mano Bay and Lake Kamo is a special experience that offers you an opportunity to row out on the quiet night waters just after dusk.
LED lights hung from the kayaks gently light the water surface, and sand patterns and shadows of fish seem to mystically emerge from below. The atmosphere of the sea at night is completely different from the daytime and will take your breath away.
Another appeal of this experience is being able to view the starry sky above you when the weather is good. The waves are gentle from early summer through fall, enabling even beginners to safely participate.
So why not experience the mystical magic woven of tranquility and light just around dinner time?
