Our Eco Tours

At RiZE Diving Center we are working with different villages to start eco tours...natural tours through their history and culture. These include village tours, kayak tours, bamboo raft/snorkeling tours, hiking tours...and we are always developing new tours.

Sometimes foreign staff guide tours through the neighboring villages, but mostly the locals have taken initiative to plan their tours and share the culture.

 

• During these tours, you get a chance to interact with locals, explore rural and ancient environments, and learn a great deal about the history and culture of this island. The tours fit in with the style of RiZE Diving Center and Village View Resort...nature and locals in their environments, being themselves, unchanged by tourism, often willing to share their lives with others.
• For other cultural tours on land, you can enjoy a three hour or six hour land tour by car. This includes tours though different local villages, private beaches, souvenir shops, a small supermarket, and various breathtaking viewpoints.
• During the evenings, you can travel up the hill and out of the village, to a hilltop store, for a great view of the sun setting into the ocean.
• You can also take a guided tour along Amin village's well-kept stone path, ending in the middle of a village at a local meetinghouse.
• If you are interested in boat tours, we offer different snorkeling tours, to our sunrise reef, to Yap's manta points, and more.
• If you like fishing, we offer local trolling for three hours. You drag the line behind the boat and you hand pull the fish that you catch! You can expect to catch good size skipjack, trevelly, mackerel, tuna, and barracuda. You can also charter a boat for the day and fish all around the island.
