I was able to enjoy both stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling safely. I don't have swimming skills or athletic ability, but I was provided with a life jacket, foot fins, and a wetsuit, so there were no problems.
There was about a two-hour gap between the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, which felt a bit long, so I thought it would be better if the intervals were shorter.サップとシュノーケリングどちらも安全に楽しめました。泳ぎスキルも運動神経もないですが、ライフジャケット、足のフィン、ウェットスーツも渡していただけたので、問題ありませんでした。 サップとシュノーケリングの間に2時間ほど空き時間があるのが、時間を持て余したので、もう少し間が短いと良いなと思いました。

After moving to the beach and receiving careful instruction and safety explanations, we entered the water. Even though I was wearing a marine suit, it was a bit chilly at first, but my body gradually got used to it. I was lucky enough to see three sea turtles and vibrant fish swarming around the coral reefs🐠, fully enjoying the waters of Miyako Island🌺. Yume-chan took many wonderful photos, shared interesting facts, and regularly checked on the participants' health, allowing us to have a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling time🙏. 【時期・天候】 2月下旬 気温: 22℃ 大雨 のち 晴れ

Your advice about preparing long-sleeved swimsuits will be helpful for those who will participate in the future! Although we started off a bit chilly, I'm glad you were able to fully enjoy the rich waters of Miyako Island.
Let's change the season and go see the stunning Miyako Blue together again! この度は宮古島 ADVENTURE PiPiのツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
The wind was strong, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but as an alternative, we went to Shigira Beach where we were able to see a lot of sea turtles! A curly-haired guy guided us, checking our condition each time and explaining about the marine life. He also took many photos for us, helping us create wonderful memories! Thank you very much!風が強く、青の洞窟には行くことが出来ませんでしたが、代換え案で行かせていただいたシギラビーチはウミガメをたくさん見ることができました！髪がくるくるなお兄さんが指導してくださりましたが、都度体調確認や海の生物の説明をしてくださったり、写真もたくさん撮って下さり楽しい思い出作りが出来ました！ありがとうございました！

Due to bad weather, we couldn't do snorkeling and SUP at the planned location, but they suggested an alternative spot. As a result, we unexpectedly got to see sea turtles, which made us very happy. The SUP instructor was a really funny guy, so we were never bored. It was a lot of fun.悪天候で予定のポイントでのシュノーケルとSUPが出来ませんでしたが、別ポイントでの開催を提案して頂きました。結果、予定外にウミガメにも会うこともできとても満足です。SUPのインストラクターのお兄さんがとても面白い方だったので全く退屈しませんでした。とても楽しかったです。

Thank you very much for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour and for sharing your wonderful feedback.
Due to sea conditions on the day of the tour, we were unable to guide you at the planned points and had to hold the event at a different location. However, we are relieved to hear that you enjoyed encountering the sea turtles.
If there is another opportunity, we would be grateful if you could join us again during calmer conditions. Thank you once again for your participation!

Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi, Rintaro この度は宮古島 ADVENTURE PiPiのツアーにご参加いただき、また素敵なご感想をお寄せいただき誠にありがとうございます。
I wanted to go to the Blue Cave, so I signed up for this tour, but for the past three weeks, due to issues with the waves and tide levels, we couldn't go, and it was changed to snorkeling at Shigira Beach.
It was disappointing, but the changed location of Shigira Beach had perfect facilities like the sea, food, and restrooms. Even after the typhoon, the water clarity was high, and it truly felt like a natural aquarium! The kids were also very satisfied.

Even after the typhoon, the water clarity was high, and it truly felt like a natural aquarium! The kids were also very satisfied. I'll save the Blue Cave for another opportunity.
After that, we moved to a different spot for my first experience with SUP, and the instructors were kind and warm, making it a lot of fun! Even after the tour ended and we parted ways, they kindly helped me with my private plans for the following days, and I plan to follow their advice tomorrow. Thank you, Kyoppi!
Also, one of the other instructors was from the same hometown, and we had a great time chatting about local niche topics. I hope you can reconcile with your dad soon (laughs).
Everyone, I highly recommend this tour! 青の洞窟に行きたくて、このツアーに申し込んだのですが、ここ3週間ほど波と潮位の問題で行けてないとのことで、シギラビーチのシュノーケリングに変更となりました。

We originally planned a tour to the Blue Cave for three family members (two adults and one child), but due to circumstances, we had to change to a different tour. I consulted with them over the phone the day before (I called three times, and they were all very polite).
As a result, we changed our tour plan to experience SUP at Imugya Marine Garden in the morning and snorkeling at Shigira Beach in the afternoon.

I consulted with them over the phone the day before (I called three times, and they were all very polite).
As a result, we changed our tour plan to experience SUP at Imugya Marine Garden in the morning and snorkeling at Shigira Beach in the afternoon.
First, regarding the SUP, we got a bit lost in the parking lot upon arrival, but after calling, they kindly guided us, and we made it on time. When we reached the parking lot, there was a tour guide (a lovely woman with a wonderful smile), and other participants gathered to sign documents, equip marine shoes and life jackets, and then we headed to Imugya Marine Garden (a 30-second walk). The scenery was stunning.
Just as we were about to start, there was an incident where there weren't enough paddles... However, thanks to the tour guide's wonderful smile and response, it didn't feel like a major issue, and the tour began. We received a brief explanation of how to use the paddles in order, and then we quickly took our boards to the sea. We learned how to paddle, various ways to ride, and played freely while taking photos. The guide maintained a lovely smile throughout. Although I had some anxiety since it was my first SUP experience, I honestly enjoyed it much more than I expected. Time flies when you're having fun!
After getting back on land, we took more photos, creating great memories as a family. We also received information about delicious nearby restaurants, and the service was excellent until the very end. Thank you very much!
Then we had a lunch break before heading to the next meeting point at Shigira Beach (which was a perfect break time).
At Shigira Beach, there is a parking fee of 1,000 yen, but since my hotel was part of the Shigira group, it was free (I felt like I got a little bonus). The guide (a beautiful woman who seemed reliable) called out the names of participants in the parking lot, and we gathered to adjust our equipment (shoes, life jackets, snorkels, goggles, fins) and received a brief explanation on how to use them before heading to the sea.
We applied anti-fog solution to the goggles (the application method was explained clearly and kindly), put on the fins, and began our snorkeling experience. The waters around Miyako Island were incredibly beautiful (especially after a typhoon, they say) and crystal clear down to the bottom.
To our surprise, we encountered a turtle right after entering the water. It’s rare to see one so quickly, so we felt lucky. We took turns having photos taken, which became a nice keepsake. From there, we explored the sea. The waters around Miyako were transparent and clear, refreshing our spirits. We saw blue, red, and yellow fish, beautiful corals, and even some fish with scary faces. The guide explained each type of fish and coral and their ecology in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner. I truly felt it was worth taking the tour.
Since there were many people at Shigira Beach that day, we took a different route than usual, and again encountered a turtle. It’s rare to see two turtles in one tour, so it became a great memory for our family. When we got back on land, about an hour had passed since we entered the water... It felt like no time at all, and I thought, "What? Is it already over?"
After returning to land, we returned our equipment and received bottled water to rinse off. The SUP and snorkeling experiences were very enjoyable. Later, we received many photo data. I realized that in August, the sun is strong, so it’s definitely better to wear a rash guard and apply sunscreen before participating. Since I was fully prepared, I didn’t get a bad sunburn, and it turned out to be a fun experience.
If you have any uncertainties or concerns beforehand, it’s best to call and consult right away. They respond kindly and politely.

Thank you for participating in the tour with Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed both the SUP and snorkeling! You also learned a lot about the sea around Miyako Island! It was lucky to see the cute sea turtles early on, and even meet two turtles! The fish and coral were beautiful, making it a wonderful memory!
Please feel free to contact us again when you come back to Miyako Island!

It was unfortunate that we had to change the plan at the last minute, but both the SUP and snorkeling turned out to be a lot of fun! I hope the underwater experience felt like being in an aquarium and created great memories for you. If we have another opportunity, let's aim for a comeback to the Blue Cave next time!
