All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The captain's stories were interesting (though it was a shame that the engine and wave sounds made it hard to hear). It was an hour and a half that flew by. I thoroughly enjoyed the factory night view and had an extraordinary time!

船長さんのお話が面白くて(ただ、エンジンの音や波の音で聴きづらいのが残念。。)あっという間の1時間半でした。工場の夜景も存分に楽しめて、非日常な時間を過ごせました！

On the first day in Yakushima, upon arriving at the airport, I was picked up and taken on a tour of Yakusugi Land, and then dropped off at the hotel, which allowed me to make very effective use of my time. The guide's explanations were also interesting. Thank you very much.

屋久島初日に、空港到着日に、空港にお迎えに来てもらい、ヤクスギランド観光、ホテル送りまでしてもらえて、非常に有効に時間が使えました。ガイドさんの説明もおもしろかったです。ありがとうございました。

Pickup was at 4:30 AM, and after breakfast, we started trekking at 6:00 AM, finishing at 5:00 PM, and arrived at the lodge by 6:00 PM. As per the itinerary, it was an 11-hour trek. Four of those hours were on a challenging course with ups and downs, while the rest was on a trolley path. They say that rain makes Yakushima feel like Yakushima, but this time we were blessed with good weather, and we encountered breathtaking scenery we had never seen before, along with deer three times and monkeys once. The Jomon Sugi was truly majestic. The guide's explanations were interesting, and they took photos at various spots. There were frequent breaks (with two restrooms along the way), and they walked at our pace. The lunch bento was also delicious. However, since we were mostly walking, it was quite tiring. By the time we returned to the lodge, my legs were definitely sore, and I fell asleep right away. I think it was a hard tour.

朝4:30のピックアップ、朝食後6:00～トレッキングスタート､17:00トレッキング終了、宿到着は18:00．
工程表にあるとおり、11時間のトレッキングでした。
うち4時間はアップダウンがある健脚コース。残りはトロッコ道。
雨の屋久島が屋久島らしいと言いますが、今回は天気に恵まれ、これまで見たこともない景色が続き、鹿に3回、猿に1回遭遇しました。
縄文杉始め、神々しいかったですね。
ガイドさんの説明も面白く、いろいろなスポットで写真も撮ってくれます。こまめな休憩もあり（トイレも片道に2か所）、我々のペースに合わせて歩いてくれます。お昼のお弁当も美味しかったです。
ただ、ほぼ歩いているので、さすがに疲れます。宿に戻るとさすがに足もはり、すぐに眠ってしまいました。ハードなツアーだと思います。

I had never done serious mountain climbing before, so I spent a month building my stamina by walking for about an hour three times a week after work before taking on the challenge. However, after actually walking, I felt it was nowhere near enough! I thought I should have run for an hour and then walked for an hour, as Jomon Sugi was quite a climb.

For gear, I had knee supports, a trekking pole in one hand, gloves on both hands, and since it tends to rain as you climb, a hat would be a good idea! I definitely think hiking boots are necessary.

There are several water refill points, and the cold water I drank from my empty plastic bottle was delicious! The initial trolley path was just long and made me feel like giving up, but after that, climbing over rocks and logs was fun, and I was able to focus on the ascent! There were also fluffy monkeys around♪

The descent felt quick, and I was glad to see a Yakushima deer at the end! The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot, and he took beautiful photos at key points!

For those attempting Jomon Sugi for the first time and feeling anxious, I recommend a private guide! If you don't move quickly, you might miss the bus after descending, so it seems they won't wait for slower people in a group.

On the second day, we climbed Shiratani Unsuikyo, but since it was after Jomon Sugi, the ascent was a breeze! We had plenty of time, so I took over 100 photos here♪ The guide actively took photos at shooting points, and we also took pictures while climbing, with plenty of breaks, so I think even beginners can manage this hike!

The view from Taiko Rock was amazing since it was sunny!! On the way back, I spotted a group of monkeys eating mushrooms, which was adorable♪

However, while the ascent was good, the return journey was quite challenging. The final stretch had continuous stairs, which put quite a strain on my knees. Since it was two consecutive days of climbing, my feet were sore after the first day, and I was worried about the second day. But after soaking in the bath and properly relaxing, and applying patches to my calves and feet before sleeping, I felt much better when I woke up!

Due to COVID-19, I booked a private guide for both days, and it turned out to be a great decision as I could hear various stories, and the guide kept an eye on our pace. I felt a sense of accomplishment having completed both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking, and it was a lot of fun♪

今まで本格的な山登りはしたことがなかったので体力作りに1ヶ月間、週3日ほど仕事帰りに約1時間歩いてから挑戦しましたが、実際歩いてみて全然足りなかったと思いました！1時間走ってから1時間歩くぐらいしておくべきだったと思うほど縄文杉はなかなかの登山でした。
装備は膝にサポーター、片手にストック、両手に軍手、登るにつれて雨が降りやすくなるので帽子があれば良い感じです！靴は絶対に登山靴が必要だと思いました。
給水ポイントがいくつかあるので空のペットボトルに汲んで飲んだお水が冷たくて美味しかったです！
最初のトロッコ道がただただ長くて挫折しそうになりましたが、その後石や木を登るのは楽しくて集中して登れました！毛がふさふさのサルもいました♪
下りは気分的にあっという間で、最後にヤクシカが現れたので見れて良かったです！
ガイドさんがとても知識が豊富で色々教えてくれたり、要所要所でキレイに写真を撮ってくれました！
初めて縄文杉にチャレンジする人で心配な人はプライベートガイドがオススメです！
サクサク進まないと下山後のバスに乗れないので団体だと遅い人を待ってはもらえないみたいです。
2日目は白谷雲水峡に登りましたが、縄文杉の後だったので登りは全然余裕でした！
時間的にも余裕があったのでここでは写真を100枚以上撮りました♪
ガイドさんが率先して撮影ポイントで撮影してくれ、自分達でも登りながら撮り、休憩回数も多かったのでこちらは登山初心者でも大丈夫だと思いました！
晴れていたので太鼓岩からの景色も最高でした！！
帰り道サルの団体を発見し、キノコを食べてるのが可愛かったです♪
ところが、登りは良かったですが帰り道がなかなか大変でした。ラストスパートは階段が連続していたので膝に負担が結構きます。
2日連続の登山だったので、1日目終了後は足の裏が痛くて2日目が心配でしたが、お風呂でしっかりとほぐしふくらはぎと足の裏に湿布を貼って寝たら起きた時にはだいぶ回復していました！
今回はコロナ化だったのもあり2日ともプライベートガイドを申し込みしましたが、結果色々な話を聞くことができ、ペースも見ていてくれたのでそうして良かったです！
縄文杉と白谷雲水峡トラッキング、両方登りきれたので達成感もありとても楽しかったです♪

- Night Safari
At first, we were just walking in complete darkness, but gradually, creatures started to appear, and my 4-year-old daughter became more and more excited. We initially saw spiders and cockroaches, but then we spotted hermit crabs, coconut crabs, and pairs of small birds sleeping together. I didn't expect to see so many different things in such a short time. I participated wearing long sleeves and long pants, so it was very hot, but I was so engrossed that by the end, I was drenched in sweat.

- Stargazing
It was a coincidence, but we were able to see the stars beautifully near the new moon. The Milky Way was also visible, and it was the first time in my life that I saw so many stars.

Overall, I was very satisfied, and the staff member was incredibly kind. My shy daughter warmed up to them by the end. We also received beautiful photos taken with a DSLR camera, which were completely different from what I expected. I recommend this experience not only for families with children. However, those who have difficulty walking or are not comfortable with insects or creatures might want to refrain from participating.

・ナイトサファリ
最初は真っ暗な中歩くだけでしたが少しずつ生き物がでてきて4歳の娘も次第にテンションがあがっていきました。
最初は蜘蛛やゴキブリだったのがやどかり、ヤシガニやハブ、つがいで寝ている小鳥などもみられました。
短時間でしたがこんなに色々見つかるとは思っていませんでした。
長袖長ズボンで参加したのでとても暑かったですがそれ以上に夢中になっていたので終わったら汗びっしょりでした。

・星空
たまたまだったのですが新月の近くでとても綺麗に星が見えました。
天の川も見えて人生でこんなに沢山の星をみたのははじめてでした。

全体的に満足度は高く、担当の方もとっても優しい方でした。
人見知りの娘も最後にはすっかり懐いていました。
一眼レフで撮影した写真も最後に送っていただけてスマソとはまったく異なる綺麗な写真を頂けました。
子連れだけでなくとも参加はおすすめです。
歩くのが無理だったり虫や生き物が苦手な人は控えた方がいいかもしれません。

I enjoyed marine sports in Ishigaki Island, and planned to relax in my hotel room at night. However, since I was in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to see the starry sky! So, I signed up for a tour. When we set off, it started to rain, and I was told that it might be difficult to see the stars... but once the tour began, we were greeted with a stunning starry sky! The guides, Seiya and Makocchan, were kind and made an effort to find small creatures, which I appreciated. We even saw four coconut crabs, making it a very meaningful time! On the way back, they found an owl and kindly got out of the car to explain about it. ❤️

石垣島のマリンスポーツを楽しんで、夜はホテルの部屋でのんびり。なんて、思っていたのですがせっかく石垣島に来たので満点の星空をみてみたい！と思い、ツアー申し込みを行いました。出発する際は雨が降り始め、星空の見学は難しいかも…と言われていましたが、いざツアーが始まると満点の星空に！ガイドの聖也さんもまこっちゃんも親切で、小さな生き物を一生懸命探してくれて好感が持てました。ヤシガニも4匹も見れてとっても有意義な時間でした！帰りもフクロウを見つけてくれて、車から降りて説明もしてくれて親切な方でした❤️

At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to see the starry sky because of the rain, but when I arrived at the beach, the sky was filled with stars, and the Milky Way was clearly visible! I also got to see four coconut crabs, which are quite rare! The instructors were fun and engaging during the bus ride and while we were moving around! It was a lot of fun.

雨で最初は星空が見えないかと思いましたが、浜辺に着いたら満天の星空で天の川もはっきりと見えました！
そして、あまり見られないというヤシガニを4匹も見られました！
インストラクターさんたちがバスの中や、移動中に楽しく話をしてくれました！
とても楽しかったです。

You can experience a real jungle adventure! It's surprisingly cool as you paddle through the mangroves, enjoying a satisfying tour that takes you around waterfalls and limestone caves on Iriomote Island. The starting point for the canoe ride has such beautiful water that the canoe appeared to be floating in the air. The staff was bright and cheerful, making for a fun day!

本物のジャングル探検ができます！意外と涼しいマングローブをカヌーで気持ちよく進み、滝や鍾乳洞をめぐり西表島を満喫できる大満足ツアーです。カヌーに乗るスタート地点の海がまず綺麗すぎて、カヌーが宙に浮いて見えました。スタッフのお姉さんも明るく元気で1日楽しく過ごせました！

On the jungle walk, I was able to see many creatures, including coconut crabs, and the explanations were great. The starry sky was near the new moon with almost no clouds, allowing us to see a perfect starry sky, the Milky Way, and shooting stars. We also had some time to lie down, and I was satisfied with the beautiful photos taken.

ジャングル散策ではヤシガニをはじめ多くの生き物を見ることができ、解説も良かったです。星空は新月付近で雲も殆どなく、満点の星空と天の川、流れ星を見ることが出来ました。暫く横になる時間もあり、綺麗な写真まで撮って頂いて満足です。

I participated in a sea turtle snorkeling tour for the first time in Miyako Island.

I joined with a friend, and since it was just the two of us, we were able to receive careful guidance from our guide, Wataru, which was really great.

Since sea turtles are wild animals, there are times when you might not see them, but we were lucky enough to encounter one about five minutes after we started! We found the first one so quickly that we went looking for a second, and we were fortunate to find another one right away too!

We also got beautiful photos with the sea turtles, and it felt wonderful to float around while snorkeling and seeing the coral reefs and fish.

They took several aerial photos with a drone, and I was really happy with how beautiful they turned out.

When we received the photos, Wataru also recommended some great places to eat in Miyako Island, Instagram-worthy cafes, and must-see tourist spots and beaches, which were very helpful for our trip.

It became a wonderful memory of my time in Miyako Island. Thank you, Wataru!

初めての宮古島でのウミガメシュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。

友達と2人で参加しましたが私たちだけで、『わたるくん』と言うガイドさんに丁寧に教えて頂く事ができ、とてもよかったです。

ウミガメも自然の動物なので会えない時もありますが、
あたし達は運良く開始５分ほどであえました！
あまりにもすぐ会えたので2匹目を探しに行きましたが、2匹目にもすぐ会えてとてもついてました♡！

ウミガメとの写真も綺麗に撮っていただき、
シュノーケルをしながらサンゴ礁や魚を見ながら
プカプカ泳ぐのがとてもきもちよかったです。

ドローンで上空からの写真も何パターンか撮って頂き、
とても綺麗な写真でうれしかったです

写真を貰う時に、宮古島のオススメのご飯やインスタ映えのカフェ、オススメの観光地とビーチも教えて頂き、
とても旅行の際に役立ちました。

宮古島での素敵な思い出になりました。
わたるくんありがとうございました

I participated in a half-day tour for snorkeling and SUP.
First, I experienced snorkeling at Shinjo Beach.
At the end of August, the weather was nice, and the sea temperature was just right, making it very pleasant.
During the one-hour snorkeling session, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many fish, and my first snorkeling experience was extremely satisfying.
Miraculously, we were able to spot a manta ray, which was an incredible experience!!!
After that, we moved to Imugya Marine Garden for the SUP experience! It was my first time, but the staff kindly taught me, and I was able to stand up right away.
It was a bit windy that day, but I had plenty of fun.
At the end, they recommended tandem riding... falling into the sea became a great memory (laughs).
I was very grateful that they sent the photos from the tour later via LINE.
The staff also introduced me to recommended spots and shops, making it a very satisfying day! Thank you very much!

シュノーケリングとSUPの半日ツアーに参加しました。
最初に新城海岸にてシュノーケリングを体験。
8月下旬で天気も良く、海水温度も適温で気持ちよかったです。
1時間程度のシュノーケリングではウミガメは勿論、沢山の魚を見ることが出来、初のシュノーケリング体験は大満足でした。
そして奇跡的にマンタを発見することが出来、非常にいい体験をすることが出来ました！！！
その後イムギャーマリンガーデンに移動してsup体験！初めてでしたがスタッフの方が親切に教えてくださりすぐにたつことができました。
風が少し強い日でしたが十分楽しめました。
最後に二人のりもすすめて頂いて・・・海に落ちたのもいい思い出です（笑）
ツアー中の写真を後日ＬINEで送っていただけるので大変助かりました。
またスタッフの方におすすめのスポットやお店も紹介して頂き大満足な1日でした！ありがとうございました！

The photos were taken very beautifully! I was also able to take my favorite poses, so I was very satisfied! Thank you! I think it's the best memory for the anniversary!

とても綺麗に撮影いただきました！
また、好きなポーズも撮影いただけたので、とても満足でした！ありがとうございました！
記念日の思い出としても最高だと思います！

There were only us participants, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind! Fortunately, we were able to see many nocturnal creatures, and we were blessed with good weather on Iriomote Island. The stars were incredibly beautiful, allowing for a relaxed viewing experience. The guide was friendly and taught us various things, incorporating history into our questions. Unfortunately, our stay on Iriomote Island was short, but this tour was very satisfying. If anyone around us is considering sightseeing in Iriomote Island, I would definitely recommend both the tour and the guide! Thank you!

参加者は私たちだけで、安心して楽しめました！
運良く夜行生物を沢山見る事ができ、西表島の天気にも恵まれ、星もすごく綺麗でゆったり鑑賞できました。
ガイドさんも親しみ易く、私たちの質問に対して歴史を交えながら色々教えて下さいました。
残念ながら西表島の滞在時間は短かったのですが、このツアーでとても満足できる内容でした。
もし周りでも西表島を観光したいと考えている人がいれば、ぜひツアーもガイドさんもおすすめしたいと思います！ありがとうございました！

I made a reservation without understanding the tides and requested a schedule change after arriving in Miyako Island, but I am grateful for the prompt assistance despite the sudden request! I also received great support from our guide, WATARU. My partner was a beginner at snorkeling, but he kindly and patiently taught us, allowing us to enjoy sea turtle snorkeling without worrying about time. We had a 100% encounter rate with sea turtles and were able to see two of them, with plenty of photos taken, creating lifelong memories. The safety measures for snorkeling and the enjoyable experience were all user-friendly, and I had my first experience with drone photography, receiving stunning photos and videos! In the end, we were introduced to many other attractions and delicious restaurants in Miyako Island, and I plan to visit again next summer!

満潮や干潮の事を理解せず予約して、宮古島到着後に日程変更をお願いしましたが、急な依頼にもかかわらずご対応いただき感謝です！ガイドのWATARUさんにも大変お世話になりました。パートナーがシュノーケリング初心者でしたが親切丁寧に教えていただき、時間を気にせずウミガメシュノーケリングを楽しむことが出来ました。ウミガメ遭遇率100%！とのことでしっかり2頭も見つけてくださり写真も沢山撮ってもらい一生の思い出となりました。シュノーケリングの安全対策から楽しみ方もユーザー目線で楽しませていただき、ドローン撮影も初めての経験で映え写真も動画も頂きました！最後は宮古島の他の見どころや美味しいお店なども沢山紹介いただき、また来年の夏休みも宮古島へ行こうと思います！

10 hours and 30 minutes, 22 kilometers
8 kilometers on the trolley path, 3 kilometers round trip on the mountain trail
Be careful on bridges without handrails
Light clothing is essential
It's better to avoid heavy clothing
Keeping your neck, calves, and wrists cool is a good idea
One trekking pole is sufficient
An umbrella is better than a raincoat
But having something to throw on is also good
The water in Yakushima lacks minerals, so
drinking only mountain water can lead to dehydration
It's good to have something to replenish salt and sugar!

The journey is steep and tough, but
you can encounter various large cedar trees
It's full of impact
There are many surprises
Nature is abundant
The mountain water is incredibly delicious
Anyway, it was fun!
I felt a great sense of accomplishment!

１０時間半　２２キロ
トロッコ道８キロ　山道３キロ往復
てすりのない橋にはご注意を
薄着必須
厚手の服はやめといたほうがいい
首、ふくらはぎ、手首は涼しくするのがいい
ストックは１本がいい　
レインコートより傘がいい
でも羽織る物もあればいい
屋久島の水はミネラルがないので
山の水ばかり飲むのは脱水症状起こす
塩分、糖分補給できる物あればよしっ！

道のりは険しくてしんどいけど
色んな大きな杉に出会える
迫力満点
驚きがいっぱい
自然がいっぱい
山の水美味しすぎる
とにかく楽しかった!
すんごい達成感あり

I was able to take wonderful photos. It was really great because I can't capture such a beautiful starry sky with my own camera.

素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。
自分のカメラではあんなにきれいな星空を映し出すことができないのですごく良かったです。

Due to the rain, the river was swollen, and some people from other tours had to turn back. However, our experienced guide assessed the situation and decided we could proceed to the mossy forest. Although we couldn't reach Taiko Rock, the guide was very engaging, and the course wasn't too challenging, allowing us to enjoy the tour thoroughly.

雨で川が増水しており、他のツアーの方は中止になり引き返していた人もいる中で熟練のガイドさんの経験と知識からいけると判断して苔むす森まで行ってくださいました。
太鼓岩まではいけませんでしたがとても話が面白く、コースも厳しく無かったため楽しくツアーに参加できました。

I participated in a one-day tour.

Exploring the limestone caves and landing on Baras Island was enjoyable, but what stood out the most was paddling through the jungle in light rain on a stand-up paddleboard. In the end, I felt refreshed after seeing the waterfall.

It was a lot of fun. The guide was very kind, and the explanations were clear and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

1日ツアーに参加させていただきました。

鍾乳洞やバラス島上陸も楽しかったですが、特にジャングルの中を小雨の降る中SUPで進むのが強く思い出に残りました。最後は滝を見て心を洗われました。

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんもとても親切で説明も分かりやすく楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

My first trip to Ishigaki Island during my last summer vacation in college turned out to be an amazing experience thanks to this tour! At first, I was a bit nervous since the other participants were all men around my age, but our guide, Connie, was very friendly and made it easy for everyone to bond as if we had been friends from the start!

During the tour, we had a great time exploring Iriomote Island while canoeing and trekking, with detailed explanations about the plants and wildlife. We all jumped into the waterfall for photos and took pictures together on Barasu Island; it was a tour that everyone, including the guide, enjoyed!

I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Iriomote Island!

大学生活最後の夏休みで人生初の石垣島はこのツアーのおかげで最高の思い出ができました！ツアーが一緒の方が同年代の男性ということもあり、始めは緊張していたのですが、ガイドのコニーさんがとても気さくに接してくださり皆始めから友達だったかのように仲良くなることができました！
ツアーも西表島の植物や生き物たちをカヌーに乗ってる時や、トレッキング中に詳しく説明してくださって楽しく西表島を散策することができました！
みんなで滝壺に飛び込んで写真を撮ったり、バラス島でみんなで写真を撮ったりガイドさん含め全員で楽しめたツアーでした！！
西表島に行くからここのツアーを最高におすすめします！

I participated alone, but the pre-confirmation over the phone was thorough, and the handover of rental items, transportation to the accommodation on the day, and arrangement of lunch were all smooth, which was great. The trekking was definitely not an easy path, but I was able to enjoy walking with a knowledgeable guide. I believe it will be a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

1人での参加でしたが、電話での事前確認も手厚く、レンタル品の受け渡しや当日の宿への送迎、お弁当の手配もスムーズでよかったです。トレッキングは決して楽な道ではありませんでしたが、知識豊富なガイドさんとともに楽しく歩くことができました。一生の思い出になると思います。ありがとうございました。

This is an experience shared by a group of three male university students. In a word, it was amazing.

When it comes to sightseeing in Iriomote Island, many people might hesitate between signing up for a tour or exploring freely. I was quite unsure as well, but I found planning everything myself to be a hassle, so I decided to join this tour. The result was a great success.

To fully enjoy the vast nature of Iriomote Island, the support of a tour company is essential. To circle around the mangroves, you need either a SUP or a canoe, and to land on Barasu Island, a dedicated boat is required. By signing up for this tour, you can have all the equipment arranged for various activities.

Additionally, I could feel the professionalism of the tour guide. I was able to hear fascinating stories about the rare creatures and plants that inhabit Iriomote Island, as well as how various natural phenomena occur. The consideration for fostering camaraderie among participants was also excellent, naturally enhancing conversations throughout the tour.

During lunch, there is about 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time. After being introduced to various diners and cafes on Iriomote Island, we could have lunch on our own. We ate Yaeyama soba (a type of Okinawa soba?) at a local diner frequented by residents of Iriomote Island, and then enjoyed coffee jelly at a café.

You can experience activities that will become lifelong memories three times in one tour. If you plan to visit Iriomote Island, I highly recommend signing up for this tour. The clientele is diverse, and I think groups of university students, couples, and families can all enjoy it.

Thank you, Connie, our tour guide!

大学生男 3 人組の体験談です。一言で言うと、最高でした。

西表島を観光するにあたって、ツアーに申し込むか自由に散策するかを迷う方も多いかと思います。僕もかなり迷いましたが、自分で色々計画を立てることを面倒に感じ、こちらのツアーに申し込むことにしました。結果は、大成功でした。

西表島の広大な大自然を満喫するには、ツアー会社の力は欠かせません。
マングローブを一周するには、SUP かカヌーが必要ですし、バラス島に上陸するには、専用の海上ボートが必要です。
こちらのツアーに申し込むと、様々なアクティビティを楽しむための装備をすべて手配してもらうことができます。

また、ツアーガイドの方のプロフェッショナリズムを感じることができました。西表島に生息する珍しい生き物や植物の解説や、様々な自然現象がどのようにして発生するかなど、大変興味深い話を聞くことができました。ツアー参加者同士が仲良くなるための配慮も素晴らしく、ツアー全体を通して会話を自然に盛り上げてくれました。

ランチの時間は 1 時間 30 分程度の自由時間が設けられます。西表島にある食堂やカフェを一通り紹介してもらった後、各自でランチをとることができます。
僕たちは、西表島在住の地元のお客さんが通う定食屋で八重山そば（沖縄そばの一種？）を食べた後、カフェでコーヒーゼリーをいただきました。

一生の思い出になるようなアクティビティーを、一つのツアーで三回体験することができます。西表島を訪れる予定がある方は、こちらのツアーに申し込むことをお勧めします。客層は幅広く、大学生グループや、カップル、ご家族など様々な方が楽しめると思います。

ツアーガイドのコニーさん、ありがとうございました！

The instructor, Komecchi, was very friendly and easy to talk to, which made it a lot of fun! ^^

First, we received a thorough explanation and lecture, then we did some stretches before heading to the sea.

As soon as we started swimming, we spotted a sea turtle, and while taking photos, we were able to see several more turtles afterwards! ♪︎

They also showed us bubble rings along the way, which was enjoyable!

They shared recommendations for stunning spots and restaurants in Miyako Island, which I found very helpful.

I was able to take many wonderful photos with the sea turtles, creating the best memories! The sea turtles were so cute!!

Thank you very much! ^^

インストラクターのこめっちさんがとてもフレンドリーで接しやすく、楽しかったです^^

まず丁寧な説明とレクチャーを受けストレッチをして海へ。

泳ぎだしてすぐ海ガメを見つけて下さって、写真撮影しながら、そのあとも何匹もウミガメに会うことができました♪︎

途中バブルリングなど見せてくれて楽しかったです！

宮古島のオススメの絶景スポットや飲食店なども教えてくださって参考にさせて頂きました。

ウミガメとたくさん素敵な写真を撮って頂き、最高の思い出ができました！ウミガメすっごく可愛かったです〜！！

ありがとうございました^^

I participated mainly for the stargazing, and it was fun to see rare creatures! I think I'm relatively accustomed to insects, but the appearance of the creatures here is indeed different from those in the mainland, so I felt reassured to have a guide. It's not just about safety; unless you're really passionate about it, you might not notice the precious creatures even if you encounter them, so it was definitely the right choice to join the tour! We were blessed with good weather, and we were able to see the Milky Way as well. My friend who came with me was very happy, and we made great memories.

星空メインで参加しましたが、珍しい生き物などが見れて楽しかったです！
私は虫などには比較的慣れている方だと思いますが、やはり内地の生き物とは見た目なども違うので、ガイドして頂けて安心でした。
安全面でもそうですが、よほど好きな人ではないと貴重な生き物に会えてもなかなか気付かないと思いますし、ツアーにして正解でした！
天気にも恵まれ、天の川なども見ることが出来たし、一緒に行った友達もとても喜んでいて良い思い出ができました。

Unfortunately, due to the weather (cloudy with occasional rain), we couldn't see the starry sky, but they flexibly changed the plan to focus on the "Night Safari" tour. I originally signed up for the tour to see the stars, but the Night Safari was also very enjoyable as I got to see creatures that I wouldn't normally encounter up close. It was a truly unique experience! Since it had rained just before, we were able to see many creatures like frogs, crabs, and snakes.

At first, the guide pointed out animals by saying, "Look over there," which was great for observing them, but later on, it was fun to scan the jungle and search for animals on my own.

Night Safari attire:
Since we enter a jungle (or forest?) with dense vegetation, long sleeves and long pants are recommended. I personally dislike getting my regular clothes dirty, so I explored in a rash guard, which worked out fine. (If it looks like it might rain, a rash guard might be more convenient.) They provide rubber boots, so you don't have to worry about getting your own shoes dirty!

あいにくの天気(曇、時々、雨)で星空は残念ながら見えなかったのですが、臨機応変にプランを変更してくださり「ナイトサファリ」メインのツアーでした。
本当は星空が観たくて申し込んだツアーでしたが、ナイトサファリも普段見ることのない生き物たちを間近で見ることができて、非常に楽しかったです！滅多にない体験です！雨の直後だったこともあり、カエルやカニ、ハブ等をたくさんの生き物をみることができました。
また、最初はガイドさんに「あそこにいるよ」と教えてもらって生き物を観察していたのですが、後半の方はジャングルを見渡して自分で生き物を探すことも楽しかったです。

ナイトサファリの服装：
草木が生い茂ったジャングル(森？)に入るため、長袖長ズボンが安心です。私は普段の洋服が汚れるのが嫌だったので、ラッシュガードで探検しましたが問題なかったです。(雨が降りそうであればラッシュガードの方が都合良いかも。)
靴は、長靴を貸してくれるので自分の靴が汚れなくて良いです！

The guide was cheerful and always kept us entertained! Due to a lack of exercise, I found it quite tiring and could only make it to the mossy forest instead of to the Taiko Rock. However, the guide served us homemade tankan juice. Drinking the chilled tankan juice in the mountains was incredibly delicious!! Although it was just one night, I made wonderful memories. I think this course is sufficient for beginners.

ガイドさんが明るく、常に楽しませてくださいました！
運動不足で、やっぱり太鼓岩までではなく、苔むす森までが精いっぱいだったかなーという疲労の中、お手製のたんかんジュースをサービスしてくださいました。山の中で飲む冷え冷えのたんかんジュースは最高に美味しかったです！！
１泊だけでしたがとても良い思い出ができました。
初心者はこのコースで充分じゃないかなと思います。

Unfortunately, the starry sky was obstructed by clouds, but the night jungle tour was impressive and interesting. They provide boots and lights, so you only need to prepare a long-sleeve shirt and a hat. The route this time included Ear Cutting Beach and Unari Cape, which we reached by pushing through the jungle from the road. Since it had just rained, many creatures were out along the roadside. As soon as we got out of the car, we saw frogs and a snake (Sakishima Rat Snake). Once we entered the jungle, we encountered centipedes (millipedes?), hermit crabs, blue crabs, Sakishima habu, and even a giant coconut crab, among others. On the beach, there were quick crabs, and around Unari Cape, the yellow-striped fireflies were beautifully glowing. The guide's stories were also entertaining.

星空は残念ながら雲が邪魔をして見れませんでしたが…
ナイトジャングルツアーは見ごたえがあって面白かったです。
長靴とライトを貸してもらえますので、用意は長袖シャツと帽子くらいで良いかと。
この時のルートは、道路からジャングルをかき分けた先の耳切の浜と、うなり崎でした。
雨上がりだったので道路沿いにもたくさん生物が出てきていました。
車を降りたらすぐにカエルとヘビ（サキシマスジオ）
ジャングルに入れば、ムカデ（ヤスデ？）、オカヤドカリ、ワタリガニ、サキシマハブ、そして巨大なヤシガニ…etc
浜辺ではすばしっこい蟹がいて、うなり崎周辺ではキイロスジボタルが綺麗に光っていました。
ガイドの方の話も面白かったです。

After the night safari, we proceeded to the stargazing tour. During the night safari, we followed paths that we would never have ventured on our own, guided by our knowledgeable guide. We were very satisfied to see many creatures like coconut crabs, habu snakes, and hermit crabs. The guide's explanations were also very thorough.

Later, during the stargazing tour, I was left speechless by the beauty of the sky in Iriomote. We laid out a mat on the grass and gazed at the stars, and it was such a pleasant experience...!! I would definitely love to participate in this tour again if given the chance.

ナイトサファリの後、星空ツアーの順番でした。
ナイトサファリは自分達だけでは絶対に行かないような道をガイドさんの案内で進みます。ヤシガニやハブ、ヤドカリなど沢山の生き物達を見れて大満足。ガイドさんの説明も非常に丁寧です。
またその後の星空ツアーは、西表の空の美しさに言葉を失いました。芝生の上にシートを引き星を眺めるのですが、気持ちいいこと。。。！！また機会があれば是非参加させていただきたいツアーです。

The Milky Way looked incredibly beautiful in the clear sky. I could see shooting stars, and the wind was blowing, making for a wonderful experience.

The night jungle was thrilling, and I was able to see various creatures while listening to the guide. Thank you for the valuable experience from the very first day in this remote area.

雲のない空の中天の川がすごく綺麗に見えました。流れ星も見えて風も吹きすごく良い体験ができました。

夜のジャングルは、スリルもありガイドさんに聞きながら色々な生き物を見ることができました。秘境の地で初日から貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

The guide explained various interesting topics throughout the trekking, including the history of Yakushima, the cedar trees, the characteristics of the mountains, plants, animals, and insects. They also took many photos for us.

Above all, I believe that my 11-year-old son was able to meet Jomon Sugi and complete the trek thanks to the guide's support. It was a tour where I could truly feel my son's growth. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんにはトレッキングの間中、屋久島の歴史、杉、山の特徴、植物、動物、昆虫など、様々な興味深い内容を説明していただきました。写真も沢山撮ってくださいました。
何より11歳の息子が縄文杉に会え、最後まで歩き切ったことは、ガイドさんのサポート無しでは実現出来なかったと思います。息子の成長を感じることが出来たツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four (father, mother, and children aged 16 and 10). We chose this private tour because we were unsure about the pace. It was great that we could hear various stories about Yakushima, not just about the mountain climbing. We also appreciated that they took many photos and shared them with us at the end.

We passed many mixed group tours, but they seemed to maintain a constant pace, which left some participants exhausted on the way back. Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision.

(Note) Those who do not usually exercise will need to be quite prepared.

家族４人での参加（父・母・子（16歳、10歳））。
ペースが不安だったのでこちらのプライベートツアーにしました。登山だけではなく屋久島のいろいろな話を聞くことができたので大変良かったです。また、写真をたくさん撮ってくれて最後にシェアしてくれたのがとても有難かったです。
グループ混合のツアーも沢山すれ違いましたが、常に一定のペースを保っていたので復路では疲弊している方もいました。こちらを選んで正解でした。
（注）普段運動していない人は相当な覚悟が必要です。
