Island Hopping 3-Day 2-Night .
Three days from the jungle waterfalls of the north to the open ocean off Izena — a remote island where the food is extraordinary and the welcome is genuine.
Three days is enough to reach places most visitors never find. This route moves from jungle waterfalls and coastal cycling in the north, to the open ocean off Izena — a remote island where the food is extraordinary, and the welcome is genuine.

The first day belongs to the north — waterfall, cycle course, glamping under the stars. The second day jumps to a different rhythm entirely: a ferry to Izena, a half-day boat charter with a local captain, and a multi-course island feast laid on by a local islander. The third winds down with a 360° hilltop hike, sugarcane pressed straight from the field, a visit to the umi budo factory and the ferry home.
