The experience

The tour starts at the Sea Station on Kaichu Road, where you get fitted with a bike and helmet. From there, your guide leads you across the bridge toward Henza Island. The route itself is the draw, with ocean views on both sides as you cycle. You'll ride through the downtown area to see local shops and traditional homes, then head toward the coastline where the scenery opens up. A stop or two along the way gives you time to take photos and catch your breath at scenic spots and cultural landmarks.

The second half takes you across another bridge to Hamahiga Island, surrounded by clear ocean waters and known for its tranquil atmosphere. The ride back to the Sea Station completes the loop. The whole route is built around Kaichu Road and the two islands it connects, so the cycling itself, not just the destinations, is what makes the day. You'll see why locals call these waters crystal-clear, and the bridge crossings give you the kind of unobstructed ocean view you don't get from a car.
