I was able to fully enjoy sunrise SUP while watching sea creatures like coral reefs, sea turtles, and sea snakes.

I appreciated that transportation was provided from the hotel to the location and back after the experience, which made it comfortable without the burden of moving around.

サンゴ礁やウミガメ、海ヘビなどの海の生き物を眺めながら、サンライズサップを満喫することができました。

ホテルから現地まで、そして体験後のホテルへの送迎もしていただけたので、移動の負担もなく快適に過ごせたのがありがたかったです。

ガイドさんもとても親切で、サップの基本的な漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくださるだけでなく、海にいる生き物についても詳しく説明してくれました。初めてでも安心して楽しめる素晴らしい体験で、またぜひ参加したいと思える充実した時間でした。

I was taught very carefully about how to paddle on a SUP, and my skills improved significantly. I moved around a lot and learned some unique paddling techniques, making it a very fulfilling experience. The scenery was beautiful, so I enjoyed both the SUP itself and the surrounding views.

The instructor was very kind, and I was extremely satisfied with the two-hour experience! I also appreciate the pick-up service!
SUPの漕ぎ方についてもとても丁寧に教えていただき、SUPの技術力も上がりました。沢山移動し、少し特殊な漕ぎ方なども教えてもらい、とても充実した体験でした。
景色はもちろん綺麗なので、SUP自体も周りの景色もどちらも楽しめました。

指導員の方もとても優しく、大変満足な2時間ほどの体験でした!
お迎えもしていただき感謝です!

This time, I participated in the Sunrise SUP Tour. It was my first experience with SUP, and I was worried about whether I could stand up before joining. However, they taught me how to stand and paddle in a very careful manner, and in the end, I was able to enjoy SUP while taking in the surrounding scenery✨

The meeting time was early, but they provided transportation to the hotel, which was very helpful.

Thank you for this valuable experience!
今回はサンライズSUPツアーに参加させていただきました。
初めてのSUP体験で、参加前までは立てるか不安でしたが、立ち方や漕ぎ方など丁寧に教えていただき、最終的には周りの景色を楽しみながらSUPができるまでになりました✨

早い時間の集合でしたが、ホテルまで送迎してくださり、非常に助かりました。

貴重な体験をさせていただき、ありがとうございました!

Since it was early morning and cloudy, you both wore wetsuits. Perhaps because of that, both of you actively fell off the board, and you were able to practice climbing back onto it a lot. Please enjoy "dubon!" to the fullest next time as well.

Thank you for your feedback.
早朝しかも曇っていたので、ウエットスーツを着て頂きました。
そのためか、お二人とも積極的に落ちて頂き、
ボードに這い上がる練習もたくさんできましたね。
次回も思いっきり「ドボン!」楽しんでください。

ご感想頂き有難うございました。
