The night tour was very enjoyable! I was really happy to see two coconut crabs today.

Our guide, Takurou, was very friendly and his explanations were easy to understand, which made the whole experience fun.

This night tour became a wonderful memory of my trip to Miyako Island. Thank you!
ナイトツアーはとても楽しかったです!
今日はヤシガニを2匹も見ることができて、本当に嬉しかったです。

ガイドのたくろうさんはとても親しみやすく、説明も分かりやすくて、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。

今回のナイトツアーは、宮古島旅行の素敵な思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました!

Even though it's nature we're dealing with, I wish there had been a bit more creativity.

Honestly, it was quite disappointing.

At the beginning of the explanation, it was emphasized that "coconut crabs can often be seen," but in the end, we only found a small hermit crab. The latter part was mostly excuses saying "they are mostly not around this season," which contradicted the initial explanation and was a bit disappointing.

I also had a photo of the starry sky taken, but it was blurry and there was no retake. I understand that there are parts that are beyond control since it's nature…

I also had a photo of the starry sky taken, but it was blurry and there was no retake. I understand that there are parts that are beyond control since it's nature, but there was hardly any explanation or creativity from the guide regarding the wildlife, stars, or plants, giving the impression of just a "night walk" rather than a tour.

Looking around, all the participants also had expressions of dissatisfaction at the end. Honestly, 5,000 yen per person feels expensive for this. It would have been better if there had been more content and a sense of professionalism from the guide.
正直、かなり残念な内容でした。

説明の冒頭では「ヤシガニがよく見られる」と強調されていましたが、結果的に見つかったのは小さなヤドカリ一匹だけ。後半は「今の季節はほとんどいない」との言い訳が中心で、最初の説明と矛盾している点も少し残念でした。

星空の写真も撮っていただきましたが、ブレていて撮り直しもなし。自然が相手なので仕方ない部分もあるとは思いますが、生物・星空・植物などガイドの説明や工夫がほとんどなく、ツアーというよりただの「夜の散歩」という印象でした。

My wife and I participated in a night tour. As we moved forward with a flashlight in hand through the darkness, we encountered various tropical creatures such as coconut crabs, stick insects, frogs, and hermit crabs! The guide's explanations were clear, and we had a great time observing nature. The starry sky we looked up at at the end was breathtakingly beautiful, and we could see the Milky Way clearly.

暗闇の中を懐中電灯を片手に進むと、ヤシガニやナナフシ、カエル、ヤドカリなど南国ならではの生き物たちが次々と登場!ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、自然観察がとても楽しかったです。
最後に見上げた星空は息をのむほど美しく、天の川までハッキリ見えました。日常を忘れるような特別な時間で、夫婦そろって心から感動しました。宮古島の夜の魅力を全身で感じられる素晴らしいツアーです。

Fortunately, I was able to see a coconut crab, making it a truly memorable tour! I especially recommend it to those who enjoy evening walks. ✨初めてナイトツアーに参加しました。

I was worried since it was my first night tour, but our guide, Yuri, was kind and explained everything, making it easy for us seniors to participate with peace of mind. It was thrilling to walk through the pitch-black forest, and we even encountered two coconut crabs. The weather was perfect, and we could see a sky full of stars without a single cloud. There were so many stars that I couldn't even recognize the constellations. Participating in the tour created wonderful memories for me.
