Just off the coast of the Ishigaki Port area is Taketomi Island, part of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park.

The central Ryukyu village is the most well known feature of the island, full of red tiled roof buildings and tropical flowers. There are plenty of ways to explore Taketomi, but in true G Adventures style we opt for a bicycle to be able to zip around and see as much as possible. (F)
