Before you book
Is the Kagoshima Volcano Sunrise SUP Activity Inc. Breakfast & Transport worth it from the Kagoshima cruise port?
A sunrise stand-up paddle on Kinko Bay facing Sakurajima, with transport to the beach and breakfast, possible only if your ship is in port overnight. Best for: Two active travellers on an overnight call who want an early-morning activity.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 24 hours. The tour runs 3 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship, about 20 minutes each way between the pier and the start and keep the hour before all-aboard free. Starts at sunrise at a city hotel, so it only works when the ship is already alongside the evening before.
Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, with a refund.
What should I know before booking?

No: the start is at Hotel & Residence Nanshukan (Tenmonkan), about 20 minutes from the ship by taxi (about ¥3,000–3,700 on the meter).
Will I be back on board before all-aboard?
The operator makes no written on-time promise, so the margin is yours to keep. This site only shows the tour as fitting a call of about 24 hours or more, which already includes half an hour to get ashore and the hour before all-aboard. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before means a reservation costs nothing to hold if your ship’s hours change.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
