This combination package includes a rental bicycle and cruise, so you can enjoy land and sea right in the heart of the Shimanami Kaido! The round-trip tour departs from WAKKA on Omishima and takes you to Ikuchijima for cycling and a cruise. You’ll be on the tour for three hours, during which you’ll cruise between Setoda Port and WAKKA one way, and cycle the other way. Choose from either a clockwise route with about 22 km of cycling distance or a counterclockwise route with about 10 km of cycling. During the cruise, you’ll glide through the tranquil waters of Setouchi and catch a rare glimpse of the Tatara Bridge from directly below. E-bikes (sports bikes with electric pedal assist) are available for the cycling portion, so you’ll have no trouble with the incline across the bridge. This tour is full of incredible sights that are perfect for cycling, including the Tatara Bridge that marks the border between Hiroshima and Ehime prefectures and the lemon groves of Ikuchijima--which boasts the highest lemon production in Japan. The tour will include a short break, with time to grab lunch and walk around in the Shiomachi shopping district in Setoda. This package is designed for those who are at least 149 cm tall. Please contact us if you do not meet the minimum height requirement. Package includes rental bicycle, helmet, key, cruise, life jacket, and insurance. Same-day reservations accepted.

Experience “yoga island” Hakatajima!
Experience “yoga island” Hakatajima!
Starting at ¥4,200 per person
Let your intuition and your body be your guide as you explore the many great yoga spots on Hakatajima and move when you feel the inspiration! Funaoriseto is a narrow strait between Hakatajima and Ushima islands. The name means “broken ship,” a testament to the fierce currents that flow through it like a river. Hakatajima is covered with great yoga spots, where you can watch the beaches around the red lighthouse transform with the dramatic tides, look out at the ships coming and going from the beach, sit on a covered deck... the options are endless. Even better, you’ll have a smiling yoga teacher at your side to chat with as you enjoy the island scenes. The yoga experience itself will be more than just movement. The teacher will include a pleasant demonstration of soft kirtan chanting that will allow you to surrender completely to the slow movement of time. As you look out at the tranquil flow of nature, you’ll feel your soul relax from within. Experiencing yoga amidst the many changing faces of Shimanami might mean being bathed in the sea breezes, feeling the sand in your bare feet, or even watching the sun set over your practice on a clear day. You can also choose to move between the different yoga sites by car or by bicycle. This is a two-hour package that must be reserved at least two days in advance. A yoga mat and yoga towel are included. Just come in comfortable clothes you can move around in and bring your own water. The group will meet at the Marine Oasis Hakata parking lot, which is located at 1668-1 Kanoura, Hakatacho. We’ll give you more information when you make your reservation. Get ¥1,000 off a rental bicycle from WAKKA when you package it with your tour.
