All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I signed up for a bus tour on a rainy day. On this day, there were two other participants besides my husband and me, and we traveled in a Hiace.

The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Yakushima and very entertaining! By joining this tour, you can learn everything about Yakushima's sightseeing spots and background in just one day.

In the morning, we changed the usual schedule to see the Jomon Sugi and take photos. In the afternoon, we did a full loop around Yakushima, but unfortunately, it was pouring rain. However, thanks to the heavy rain, the "Oko Waterfall" was breathtaking!

It was the most impressive waterfall I've ever seen, and my husband and I were very satisfied. The guide also worked hard to find monkeys and deer for us before he arrived, and we spotted them. They were small and adorable!

The fried flying fish for lunch was hilarious!

It's a great tour. The guide is incredibly kind!

雨の日にバスツアーに申し込みました。この日は私たち夫婦以外にも2名の参加で、ハイエースでの移動となりました。

とにかくガイドさんが、めちゃくちゃ屋久島のこと知ってて、面白い！このツアーに申し込めば一日で屋久島の観光地から事情まで全部わかります。

午前は、通常の予定とかえて、紀元杉を見て、写真撮影。午後は屋久島一周で、この日はあいにくの大雨。しかしその大雨のおかげで「大川の滝」が大迫力！

人生で一番すごい迫力の滝に夫婦で大満足。そしてガイドさんが来るまで一所懸命に猿と鹿をさがしてくれて、発見。小さくてかわいかった！

昼ごはんのトビウオのから揚げは、笑った！

とても良いツアーです。ガイドさんはめちゃくちゃ親切です！

The weather was great, and we could see a perfect starry sky! The guide worked hard to find various creatures and explained a lot, which made me very happy! We encountered many different animals, including coconut crabs, large crabs, hermit crabs, fish, and big frogs. The guide told us which creatures we could touch, so I touched everything that was allowed. When I expressed my desire to see a box turtle, the guide took us to places where we might find one on our way back. Unfortunately, we couldn't see a box turtle, but I appreciate the guide's thoughtfulness. It became a wonderful memory, and I would love to participate again.

天気もよく満点の星空が見えました！生き物もガイドさんが一生懸命探してくださり沢山説明もしてくれて嬉しかったです！ヤシガニや大きなカニ、ヤドカリ、魚、大きなカエルなど色んな生き物に出会えました。触れる生き物を教えて下さったので触れるものは全て触りました。ハコガメが見たいという私の要望に、帰りはハコガメがいそうな場所を回って帰っていただきました。残念ながらハコガメは見れなかったのですが、ガイドさんの心遣いに感謝しております。とてもよい思い出になりました。また参加したいです。

We participated as a family. During the shuttle ride, we shared the vehicle with other families, but proper disinfection and ventilation were in place, ensuring COVID-19 precautions were taken. First, we went to see the starry sky, and then we headed to observe some creatures. The stars were incredibly beautiful, more than I had ever seen before, and it was truly moving. In the jungle, I was very happy to interact with creatures that can only be found in Ishigaki Island. The guide was also very dedicated in searching for various creatures and provided a lot of explanations about them. It was a tour that everyone, from adults to children, could enjoy. Thank you very much!

家族での参加です。送迎の車内では他の家族とも相乗りでしたが、きちんと消毒や換気がされており、コロナ対策しておられました。まずは星空を見に行き、その後生き物を見に行くという流れでしたが、星空も今まで見たことがないくらい綺麗で感動しました。ジャングルでは石垣島にしか見られない生き物に触れられとても嬉しかったです。ガイドさんも必死に色んな生き物を探してくださり、生き物の説明も沢山して下さいました。大人から子供まで楽しめるツアーになりました。ありがとうございました！

The meeting place was the parking lot at Yonaha Maehama Beach, and the shooting location was about a 5-minute distance at Emerald Coast Golf Links. It was right after Golden Week and just before the rainy season, but we were blessed with good weather, and the Milky Way and Scorpius were beautifully visible. The photos sent to me totaled eight, and I was able to shoot while receiving guidance on composition and the use of props. Before the shooting began, they asked what kind of photos I wanted, so if you decide on poses in advance, it should be possible to shoot those as well. A point to note when making a reservation is to choose the first day of your trip. The reason is that if the weather is bad, you may need to push the schedule back. Also, make sure to bring your favorite white clothing. The contrast with the starry sky will make your silhouette stand out clearly. On the day I participated, the shooting started at midnight while waiting for the moon to set, but it was worth sacrificing a bit of sleep to join.

集合場所は与那覇前浜ビーチの駐車場で、撮影はそこから5分ほど離れたエメラルドコーストゴルフリンクスでした。GW明けして梅雨入りしてすぐでしたが、天気に恵まれ天の川とさそり座がキレイに見えました。送っていただいた写真は全部で8枚で、構図や小道具の使い方などご指示いただきながら撮影ができました。撮影が始まる前にどういった写真が撮りたいのか希望も聞いてくださるため、あらかじめポーズなど決めて行けばそちらでも撮影が可能だと思います。予約するときの注意点ですが、予約日は旅行初日にしてください。理由は天気が悪い場合、日程を後ろ倒しする必要があるためです。またお気に入りの白系の服を持っていきましょう。星空とのコントラストでシルエットがハッキリします。月が沈むまで待つため参加した日は24時からの撮影でしたが、睡眠時間を少し削っても参加する価値がありました。

The day before the tour, I received a call from the tour company, where I was able to ask about the location and details of the ferry ticket sales at Takamatsu Port. Additionally, I confirmed the meeting place at Tonosho Port upon arriving at Shodoshima. The round-trip ticket for the ferry from Takamatsu to Shodoshima included a free coffee voucher for a café at Tonosho Port, which could be used before the tour departure or before returning to Takamatsu. At Choshikei Monkey Park, I was able to see many monkeys up close, and thanks to the kindness of the staff, I was introduced to a cute baby monkey that had just been born. Unfortunately, due to the weather, visibility was poor at Kankakei, but I was still able to feel a bit of the wonderful nature. The set ticket I received, which included admission tickets to various facilities, was a new type that had recently started operation, and since the staff at each facility were not familiar with it, I was temporarily stopped at the entrance, which was disappointing. After arriving at the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village, I couldn't enter immediately and had to wait for about one or two minutes for ticket verification. When I arrived at Olive Park, the rain intensified, but overall, I was satisfied as I was able to visit the main tourist spots in Shodoshima in one day.

ツアー参加前日にツアー会社から電話が入り、高松港でのフェリーきっぷ売り場の場所や要領を聞けました。また、小豆島に到着して土庄港での集合場所の確認ができました。高松港から小豆島のフェリーの往復券と土庄港のカフェでツアー出発前か高松港に帰る前、コーヒー１杯の無料券が付いていました。銚子渓お猿の国では間近でたくさんの猿を見学でき、飼育係の好意で生まれたばかりのかわいい子猿も紹介していただき見れました。あいにくの天候で寒霞渓では視界不良でしたが、少しだけすばらしい自然を感じることができました。私が支給を受けた各施設の入場券が付いたセットの券は最近運用を開始した新しいタイプのもので、各施設の受付の方が認識がなかったので、入場時に一時止められたのが残念でした。二十四の瞳映画村到着後、すぐに入場できなかったのですが、１、２分、チケットの確認で待たされました。オリーブ公園に到着すると雨がひどくなりましたが、１日で小豆島の主要観光地を巡れたので総合的には満足できました。

I visited Miyako Island for the first time in a while, and I remembered how beautiful the stars were, so I was really looking forward to this tour!

The weather wasn't great on the day, and although I took a few photos, the photographer arranged to shoot again the next day to ensure we could get the best pictures. During the waiting time, he kindly shared recommendations for spots on Miyako Island and helped us plan together, making it a very enjoyable experience! On the second day, we were blessed with good weather and got the best photos! I heard there will be a moon shoot next time, so I definitely want to request that!

宮古島には久しぶりに行ったのですが
星がとても綺麗なのを覚えていたので
今回のツアーはとても楽しみでした！

当日天候がそこまで良くなく、数枚撮影したのですが
翌日再度撮影ということでカメラマンの方も
最高の写真が撮れるよう時間など合わせていただき
待ち時間の間も宮古島のオススメスポットを教えてもらい、
一緒にプランを考えてくれたりとても楽しく親切な方でした！
2日目は天候に恵まれ最高の写真を撮ってもらいました！
次は月の撮影もあるということなので是非お願いしたいと思います！

The reception was very polite and pleasant, and the captain gave us a warm welcome.

The boat was simple, with no obstructions, providing a sense of security without the need to compete for seats with other passengers. We experienced safe navigation without any splashes or seasickness, and the care of the veteran captain was evident. The guide was easy to understand, and the content was engaging, allowing us to enjoy both the scenery and the commentary without being overly distracted. I believe this 90-minute course at this price is a great deal. Normally, one ride would be enough to satisfy me, but I strongly want to ride again in the summer! The captain's warm and kind voice, encouraging us to overcome the tough times during COVID, still lingers in my ears. I definitely want to ride again!

受付の対応から大変丁寧で気持ちよく、船長さんが大歓迎してくださいました。

船体はシンプルなもので、遮るものがなく、他の乗客の方と席を取り合うような必要もない安心感。安全な航行で水飛沫を受けたり、船酔いをするような事は一切無く、ベテラン船長さんの心遣いが伝わって来ました。ガイドも分かりやすく、興味を持って聞ける内容なので、景色に気を奪われ過ぎることなく、景色とガイドの両方をしっかり堪能出来ました。このお値段で90分のこのコースは大変お得だと思います。普通は一度乗れば満足してしまいますが、また夏になったら乗りたい！と強く思いました。コロナで大変な時期を乗り越えましょう、という船長さんのあたたかく、優しい声が今も耳に残っています。またら必ず乗りたいです！

Since I was staying on Iriomote Island, I wanted to participate in a night tour, so I joined this tour. The day before I made the reservation, the weather forecast predicted clear skies, but unfortunately, the weather was terrible on the day of the tour! It was a tour in heavy rain.

I later learned that the weather forecast for Iriomote Island is often unreliable, so if you have the flexibility, I think same-day reservations are better. A great aspect of this night tour is that they accept reservations quite close to the tour time. If you can only participate on that day, I would still encourage you to join even in the rain! It’s such an attractive experience.

Exploring the jungle in bad weather was amazing! With no stars visible, it was incredibly dark—so dark that you couldn’t see the face of the person next to you without a light. When it’s clear, the stars on Iriomote Island are stunning, so even in the dark, there’s a faint brightness. I thought this was a unique experience that you can’t have otherwise.

Although it was raining, the dense jungle provided cover, so I didn’t get too wet during the exploration! The jungle is incredible!

The highlight of the tour was the guide. The guide was so dedicated and thoughtful about what we could do despite the weather, and I was really touched by their kindness! They shared various knowledge and taught us about the starry sky of Iriomote Island, which was truly beneficial. Thanks to this guide, I was able to enjoy myself until the end, even with the bad weather!

One of the best experiences was encountering a coconut crab! I had no idea what a coconut crab was, but it looked more like a cute, round spider than a crab, and it was adorable. I felt like I had stepped into the world of Animal Crossing!

I was also happy to see fireflies, even if just for a little while. I will never forget the large, twinkling starry sky that appeared through a break in the clouds at the end. It truly became a wonderful memory.

I was also delighted to receive photos from the tour; this service was fantastic!

I definitely want everyone to participate in this tour when you visit Iriomote Island!!!

西表島に宿泊するからにはナイトツアーに参加したいと思いこのツアーに参加しました
前日に予約した段階では天気予報は晴れでしたが当日はあいにくの大荒れの天気！強い雨が降りしきる中のツアーでした
あとから知ったのですが西表島は天気予報があてにならないので余裕があるのであれば当日予約がいいかなと思いました。このナイトツアーは当日のわりとギリギリの時間までツアーを受け付けてくれるのがいい点です
※この日しか参加できない！というのであれば雨でもせっかくなら参加してほしいです。それぐらい魅力的な経験ができます

悪天の中ジャングルを探索！星が一つも見えない中なのでライトがなければ信じられないくらい本当の暗闇！隣にいる人の顔も見えません。西表島は晴れだと星がめちゃくちゃ綺麗なので暗くてもどこかほんのり明るいです。なので逆にこれはこれで体験できないすごい経験だと思いました
また雨が降っていたのですがジャングルの木々が生い茂っているので木々が傘がわりとなり探索中はあまり濡れませんでした！ジャングルすごい！

そんな中最高だったのがこのツアーのガイドさんです
ガイドの人が一生懸命いろいろ天候の中できることを考えてくれてすごいいい人だなーと思って感動しました！
色々な知識も教えてくれて西表島の星空も教えてくれて本当にためになりました
このガイドさんだったから天候が悪くても最後まで楽しく過ごせました！

そんな中ヤシガニに出会えたことが最高の経験でした！
ヤシガニのことはまったく知らなかったのですがカニというよりは丸っこい愛らしいフォルムのクモという感じですごく可愛かったです
完全にどうぶつの森の世界にきた気持ちになりました！


あと少しだけでしたがホタルも見ることができて嬉しかったです
最後雲の切れ間から見えた大きく瞬く星空が忘れられません
本当に楽しい思い出になりました

また写真も送って頂けてこのサービスがとても嬉しかったです

ぜひ西表島にきた際は皆さんにこのツアーに参加して欲しいです！！！

The weather was great, and we were fortunate to have a wonderful guide, making for an enjoyable trekking experience. I got tired along the way, but the moment I saw the Yakusugi trees, all my fatigue disappeared.

天気にも恵まれガイドさんのも恵まれ、楽しいトレッキングになりました。途中は疲れましたが、屋久杉を見た途端、疲れが吹っ飛びました。

Not only did we enjoy paddleboarding, but we also had a fulfilling day exploring the mangrove forest and snorkeling! The guide was kind and taught us many things, so it was a lot of fun! I highly recommend it!

SUPだけでなく、マングローブ林を散策したり、シュノーケリングしたりと充実した日になりました！
ガイドさんも優しく色んなこと教えてくださったので、とても楽しかったです！おすすめします！

I had a truly enjoyable and fulfilling time. The lunch was fantastic! Otsuka's attention to detail in creating the atmosphere was impressive. The various considerations for the tours on the bus, perhaps due to Otsuka's personality, greatly contributed to the experience. I have experienced many tours so far, but this is undoubtedly one of the best. I usually find it troublesome to write reviews, but this time, I wrote one for the first time to express my gratitude. Thank you, Otsuka!

本当に楽しい、大充実な時間を過ごしました。ランチ、最高でした！大塚さんの場所作り、圧巻です。バス内も色々なツアーのお気遣い、お人柄でしょうか、大塚さんのガイドに依るところが大きいです。今までたくさんのツアーを体験しましたが間違いなくベストの１つです。いつも面倒で体験談は書かないのですが、今回、お礼を兼ねて初めて書きました。大塚さん、ありがとうございました！

This is a tour that thoroughly covers the sightseeing points in central Okinawa from 8 AM to 6 PM.

On the day I participated, despite it being the latter half of Golden Week, there were only 10 participants due to the impact of COVID-19. It turned out to be a relaxed tour.

With the increasing diversity of tourists in Okinawa, the tour was conducted using receivers, which might disappoint those expecting the traditional bus guide explanations. The commentary through the receivers felt as if it was from NHK fifty years ago, with a low energy level and overly serious content that was too conducive to sleep. I think improvements are needed, even just for the Japanese language version.

The Churaumi Aquarium was also not crowded, and I was able to enjoy a close-up view of the whale sharks from the café seats next to the large tank, which had a 30-minute time limit but no waiting time.

Given the decrease in travelers due to COVID, I think this is a recommended tour. I participated in the tour because renting a car seemed cumbersome, and considering the entrance fee is included, I believe it’s a good deal.

朝8時から１８時まで沖縄中部の観光ポイントをしっかり押さえたツアーです。

私が参加した日はGW後半にも関わらずコロナの影響で参加者は１０名のみ。ゆったりとしたツアーになりました。

沖縄の観光客が多国籍化している影響で、レシバーでの観光案内となり、いにしえのバスガイドの説明を期待していると肩透かしを食らうかもしれません。レシーバーでの解説が半世紀前のNHKの説明かと思うほどテンション低めで内容も真面目すぎで睡眠促進に役立ちすぎます。まずは日本語だけでも要改善だと思いました。

美ら海水族館も空いていて、大水槽横のカフェにある水槽かぶりつき席も３０分の時間制限付きですが待ち時間ゼロでジンベエザメをゆっくり見ることができました。

コロナで旅行者が減っている今、お勧めのツアーではないかなと思います。レンタカーを借りるのもかったるいのでツアーに参加しましたが、入館料込みでこのお値段でしたらお得だと思います。

We participated in a stargazing photo tour as a memory of our honeymoon. The weather was great, and under a sky full of stars, we had the best photos taken. We were able to check the photos on the spot, and they were so good that we couldn't help but exclaim.
The staff member was very kind and not only took the photos but also shared various information about Miyako Island.

新婚旅行の思い出にと、星空フォトツアーに参加しました。天気も良く、満点の星空の下、最高の写真を撮ってもらいました。写真の確認もその場でさせてもらい、声が出るほどいい写真でした。
スタッフのお兄さんもとても親切で、撮影はもちろんのこと、それ以外の宮古島の色々な情報も教えてくれました。

This was my third time on Iriomote Island, and I finally got to visit Barasu Island. Depending on the weather, it can be inaccessible, but this time I was able to go! It was about a 10-minute ride from the port on a cruiser. I got to sit at the very front, which made me feel like a dolphin, and that was fun!

Barasu Island is formed from coral, and part of it was submerged due to high sea levels, but the surrounding water was clear and beautiful. The coral reefs were amazing, and I was able to see table corals as well as rare red and blue corals. I also encountered clownfish and enjoyed snorkeling. The staff from Pipi were always attentive to safety, which made me feel secure throughout the trip!

We explored the Kuira River, which felt like a jungle cruise at Disneyland, using canoes and stand-up paddleboards. The mystical scenery changed with the light. Our guide, Mu-san, was entertaining and always brightened the atmosphere, responding warmly to any situation! Thanks to them, I had a wonderful experience.

今回は３回目の西表島で、
ようやくバラス島に行けました。天候次第で行けない場合もあり、今回初めて行く事が出来ました！
クルーザーで港から１０分程度！一番前に座らせて頂き、まるで、イルカの様な気持ちになれ、それも面白かった！

バラス島はサンゴが滞留して出来た島で、海の水位が高く一部埋もれていましたが、周りの海の透明度は高く綺麗でした。
サンゴ礁も素晴らしくテーブルサンゴや赤、青の珍しいサンゴも見る事が出来ました。
クマノミにも出会えシュノーケルを堪能しました。サポートでpipiのスタッフが常に安全を気をつけておられ、終始安心出来ました！

クーラ川での、disney landのジャングルクルーズの様な大自然、マングローブの中をカヌーとSUPにて行いました。光の加減でクルクル変わる神秘的な景色。ガイドのむーさんは面白く、いつも場を明るく盛り上げ、どんな状況でも温かく対応してくれました！おかげで素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

When you think of Okinawa, you think of the ocean, but it is also home to karst geological islands. The best place to enjoy the karst landscape is around Daishirinsan in Yanbaru National Park, located in the northern part of the main island. This tour efficiently explores Yanbaru, which is difficult to access individually, allowing you to experience the wonderful ocean and mountains of Okinawa. I highly recommend this tour for repeat visitors to Okinawa. The lunch provided is also substantial!

沖縄と言えば海ですが、カルスト地質の島々でもあります。そして、カルストの風景を最も楽しめるのが本島北部のやんばる国立公園にある大石林山周辺です。
このツアーは個人では行きにくいやんばるを効率よく周遊するもので、沖縄本島の海と山の素晴らしさを感じることができます。沖縄リピーターの方には是非おすすめしたいツアーです。昼食も充実してます！

This is a highly satisfying tour where you can enjoy both the night jungle and the starry sky in just two hours! We were able to safely encounter various precious creatures in a jungle that you definitely can't visit at night without a guide! The guide's explanations were also full of intriguing content, allowing us to learn deeply about the ecology of the creatures on Iriomote Island. (The guide's effort to find as many creatures as possible left a great impression!)

Although it was unfortunately cloudy during the stargazing, the guide taught us observation methods to see the stars better even in cloudy conditions, so I was very satisfied! Additionally, after the tour, I received photos of the starry sky and a time-lapse video taken by the guide, which made me happy to have those memories recorded!

Thank you for the enjoyable time! I will participate again, believing in clear skies next time!!

2時間でナイトジャングルと星空の2つを楽しめる満足度の高いツアーです！ガイドさん無しでは夜に絶対にいけないようなジャングルで様々な貴重な生物に安全に会うことができました！またガイドさんの説明も興味をそそる内容ばかりで西表島の生物の生態を深く知ることができます。（ガイドさんは少しでも多くの生物を紹介するために一生懸命に生き物を探してくれ流のも好印象でした！）
星空観測時はあいにくの曇りでしたが、曇りでも星が少しでもよく見えるように観測方法を教えて頂けたので十分に満足できました！
加えて、ツアー終了後、ガイドさんが撮った星空の写真やタイムラプス動画ももらえたのでそこも思い出が記録として残って嬉しかったです！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！次は晴天と信じてまた参加します！！

The tour to Shiratani Unsuikyo was canceled due to rain, but we changed our plans and switched to an island tour. I could feel the guide's wealth of knowledge and spirit of service until the very end, and I had a wonderfully enjoyable day!!!

雨のため白谷雲水峡へのツアーが中止となりましたが予定を変更して島内観光に切り替えて頂きました。ガイドさんの知識量やサービス精神を最後の最後まで感じられ、とても楽しめる一日を過ごすことができました！！！

I was happy to participate as planned despite the heavy rain the day before, which made it uncertain if we could go to Barasu Island. The main purpose of this trip was Barasu Island, but since we went around high tide, it felt more like standing on an island that was sinking into the sea! The water was beautiful, and the snorkeling was done at a pace that checked in with the participants, which made me feel at ease. It was a pity that I couldn't see any turtles, but I want to try again!

The canoeing in the mangroves was more fun than I imagined, with plants and insects I had never seen before. The guide provided detailed explanations for each one, allowing me to appreciate the joy of Iriomote Island even more. The growth process of the octopus sausages was also interesting. The "ton-ton-mi" was cute too!

I appreciated that the guide remembered the participants' names and spoke to each of us politely, took lots of photos, and sent them right after the tour. The office's shower and restroom were very clean, which was all great!

I haven't found many tours during my travels that I truly enjoyed, but this time I felt like I wanted to participate again!!! I highly recommend the tour on Iriomote Island with PIPI!!!

前日の大雨でバラス島は決行出来ないかもしれないということでしたが、無事予定通り参加出来嬉しかったです
今回の一番の目的がバラス島だったのですが満潮に近い時間に行ったため上陸というか、海に沈む島に立つっていう感じでした笑　海はとってもキレイでシュノーケリングも参加者のペースを確認しながら行ってくれたので安心感がありました。亀が見れなかったのが残念でしたがリベンジしたいです!!
マングローブでのカヌーが想像以上に楽しくて、見たことがない植物や昆虫達。ひとつひとつ丁寧に説明を混ぜて案内してくれたので西表島の楽しさをより感じられました。
たこさんウインナーの成長過程も面白かったです。
とんとんみーも可愛かったです笑
参加者の名前をきちんと記憶されていてそれぞれにていねいに話しかけられていたこと、写真をたくさん撮ってくださりツアー後すぐに送って頂けたこと、事務所のシャワーとトイレがとても綺麗だったことすべてが良かったです☺️
今まで旅行中のツアーでなかなか楽しいと思えたことがなかったのですが、今回はまた参加したいと思えました!!!
西表島でのツアーはぜひPIPIで!!!

It was a morning-only tour, but I was able to visit the main attractions and had a great time. The beach we visited last was especially beautiful.

午前中のみの観光でしたが主要な観光地を回れて楽しめました。特に最後に訪れた砂浜はとっても綺麗でした。

Paddleboarding while watching the mangroves along the Kura River was exciting and fun. They also lent us shoes, so we could take a light trek to Kura Falls. Additionally, our guide (Mu-san) was a funny guy who kept the atmosphere lively, which was great.

The weather was nice, so we really enjoyed snorkeling at Balas Island. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, we were able to see plenty of coral and beautiful fish.

I thought the photo service was really nice. They took not only commemorative photos but also candid shots, making it a memorable experience.

Overall, I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

クーラ川でのマングローブを見ながらのSUPはわくわくして楽しかったです。シューズも貸し出して頂けたので軽いトレッキングをしながらクーラの滝に行くこともできました。また、ガイドのお兄さん（むーさん）が面白い方で盛り上げてくださり、常時楽しい雰囲気があったのも良かったです。
お天気がよかったのでバラス島でのシュノーケリングもとても楽しめました。海亀には会えなかったけれど、たくさんのサンゴや美しい魚たちを見ることができました。
写真を撮ってくれるサービスもとってもいいなと思いました。記念写真はもちろんのこと、不意打ちの自然体な写真なども撮ってくださっていて思い出に残る体験となりました。
総じて素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

I participated with my 8-year-old son during the Golden Week in May.
Weather conditions: ★★★☆☆
The starry sky was not great, but we had experiences during the night safari that we wouldn't normally have. While I think we could have gone on our own with a rental car, considering the pitch darkness and the unfamiliar roads along the coast, this guided plan was a good value for the money.
Since it was late at night, I hesitated to sign up thinking about my son's condition for the next day, but in the end, I think it was the right decision to participate.
Thank you very much!

5月のGWに8歳の息子と参加しました。
天候コンディション　★★★☆☆
でしたので星空はイマイチという状態でしたが、ナイトサファリでは普段出来ない体験が出来ました。レンタカーなどで自分たちで行くことも出来ると思いますが、真っ暗で初めての道、海岸沿いの散策を考えると、ガイドさんの説明付きのこのプランはコスパ良だと思います。
夜遅い時間帯だったので、次の日の息子のコンディション考えて申込を迷いましたが、結果的に参加して正解だったと思います。
有難うございました！

I think it's a very convenient tour for those who don't rent a car, as you can efficiently visit the main places. However, if you do have a rental car, you might want to go to the Gajumaru at Sarukawa instead. It was really enjoyable to listen to the guide share various stories with humor on the bus.

主だった場所を効率よくまわることができるので、レンタカーを借りていない場合はとても使い勝手がいいツアーだと思います。
ただもしレンタカーがあるなら、ガジュマルにしても猿川のガジュマルのほうに行きたいな～とか思うかも。バスの中でガイドさんがいろんなお話をユーモアを交えながら話してくださるのはとても楽しくきけました。

I reached Jomon Sugi, which is one of the items on my life achievement list, five years earlier than planned at the age of 60, in an environment where I couldn't travel abroad due to COVID-19. Blessed with good weather, I was guided by Leader Mitsuhashi, who has led over 2,000 tours to Jomon Sugi, along with four young team members (excluding myself?). On the way back, we were able to visit a hidden route called the "Nature Observation Trail." In this spiritual world, there were many highlights, including Jomon Sugi, Wilson's stump, and the Great Cedar, making for a very fulfilling day.

人生の達成すべきリストの１つである縄文杉に、コロナで海外に行けない環境で、予定より５年早い還暦歳で到達。
お天気にも恵まれ、縄文杉２千回以上というガイドの三橋リーダーに引き連れられ、４名の若人（小生を除く？）隊員は帰路に「自然観察路」なる穴場ルートも訪れることができました。
スピリチュアルな世界観の中で、縄文杉を筆頭に、ウィルソン株、大王杉、・・・と見どころも多く、とても充実の１日となりました。

I stayed in Ishigaki Island but wanted to fully enjoy Iriomote Island, so I participated in the one-day course for Mangrove SUP and snorkeling at Barasu Island. The reason I chose this was simply because of the high ratings in the reviews. But it turned out to be a great decision!

On the day of the tour, we were blessed with good weather and were able to see the enchanting mangrove forest and beautiful, colorful corals. Additionally, the staff's friendliness and thoughtfulness were wonderful, and I had a great time throughout the experience.

Later, they sent me a lot of photo data, which became an unforgettable memory of this trip. I give it a perfect score with no complaints. I highly recommend it!

石垣島に滞在していましたが、西表島も満喫したいと思いこちらのマングローブSUPとバラス島シュノーケリングの1日コースに参加しました。
選んだ理由は単純にレビューが高評価だったから。でも結果大正解！
当日は天候にも恵まれて幻想的なマングローブの
林、色とりどりの美しい珊瑚を見ることができました。また、スタッフの親しみやすさ心遣いが
素晴らしく終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。
後日写真データもたくさん送っていただき今回の旅の忘れられない思い出になりました。
文句なしの満点です。強くおすすめします！

I was picked up at the morning lodge. The moss-covered forest is a fantastic and wonderful place. I wish I could have spent a little more time there... I injured my knee on the way down, but I was grateful that the guide lent me trekking poles and a knee support. I couldn't make it to Taiko Rock this time, but I definitely want to go next time.

朝宿まで迎えに来ていただきました。
苔むす森は幻想的ですばらしい場所です。もう少しゆっくりできるとよかったですが...。下山時に膝を痛めてしまったのですが、ガイドさんがストックと膝サポーターを貸してくれてありがたかったです。今回は太鼓岩までは行けませんでしたが、次回は必ず行きたいと思いました。

The weather and conditions on the day of participation were not ideal, so I recommend the following day instead. Thank you for kindly accommodating the change.

It was our first time participating with one adult and four children (11-year-old girl, 9-year-old boy, 6-year-old boy, and 4-year-old boy), and they were thrilled to see creatures they had never encountered in Tokyo, starting with the coconut crab, during the night jungle tour.

If we have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, we would definitely like to participate.

Thank you very much.

参加当日のお天気、コンディションが今ひとつだったので、翌日の方がお勧めですよ。と快く変更して下さいましてありがとうございました。

大人１人、子供4人（11歳女、9歳男、6歳男、4歳男）で初めての参加でしたが、ヤシガニを初め、東京では見たことない生物、ナイトジュアングルツアーに子供らも喜んでくれました。
次も石垣島に行くことがあったらぜひ参加させて頂きたいと思います。

ありがとうございました。

On the day of the trip, there were some waves, and we stayed at Barasu Island for just a few minutes. It might be difficult for those who are not good at swimming to enjoy snorkeling.

We boarded the boat around 9:30 and quickly visited two points in the morning. We arrived at the small Hatoma Island around 11:30, ate rice balls, and then went for a walk on the island. We departed for the last point at 1:30 PM. There were waves, and the seawater was somewhat murky, so the visibility wasn't very good, which was a bit disappointing. However, we were able to see some fish, including sea snakes, so that was nice.

The driver also acted as a guide, but there was no explanation about the points, so it felt like we were snorkeling on our own. Since it was a full-day tour, it would have been better to have a proper guide.

当日波が多少あり、バラス島にはほんの数分間滞在しました。泳ぎ苦手な人にはシュノーケリングしづらいかもしれないです。
９時半ごろ船に乗り、午前中あっという間に２ポイント周り、１１時半頃小さい鳩間島到着、おにぎりを食べ、島散歩へ、午後１時半最後の１ポイントへ出発。波があり、海水多少濁っていて、透明度があまり良くなく、驚くほどの感動がないですが、ウミヘビなど魚がある程度見えたのでよかったです。
ドライバーさんが兼ガイドのような感じで、ポイントなどの説明がなく、自分で適当にシュノーケリングみたいな感覚です。
せっかく１日のツアーなので、ちゃんとしたガイドさんがいてくれたほうがいいですね。

I was able to observe coconut crabs, purple land hermit crabs, bats, and firefly larvae. The guide worked hard to find creatures, but there were fewer types than I expected.

It was somewhat cloudy that day, so while there were stars, the night sky wasn't breathtaking. It might have been a bit better if we had been in a completely dark area.

Since this year's rainy season started early, it was hot wearing long sleeves at night. It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but it was good that it didn't rain that day.

ヤシガニ、ムラサキオカヤドカリ、コウモリ、蛍の幼虫を観察できました。ガイドさんが一生懸命生き物を探しましたが、思ったより種類が少なかったです。
当日多少曇っていたので、星の数がありますが、感動するほどの星空ではなかったです。真暗の所で見えたら少しよくなるかもしれないですね。
今年の梅雨入りが早かったので、夜長袖着るのは暑かったです。はじめての石垣島旅でしたので、思ったより物足りなかったが、当日雨降らず良かったです。

The tour company picked us up at the hotel. We chose the SPU option, so after a brief lecture, we set off right away. My husband fell off the board immediately after standing on it, perhaps due to his poor athletic ability, but fortunately, the water was shallow. The guide explained about the mangrove forest as we progressed, allowing us to enjoy both trekking and the mangrove experience. At the final destination near the waterfall, we had some time for photos, and a young group bathed right under the waterfall.

In the afternoon, we switched to the water buffalo cart course on Yufu Island. While riding the water buffalo cart, we listened to shamisen music. The island itself was like a botanical garden, and we were able to take many great photos, which was wonderful.

ツアー会社がホテルに迎えてくれました。
私たちはＳＰＵを選んたので、レクチャー数分受け後すぐ出発しました。夫の運動神経が悪いせいか、板の上に立った後すぐ転落してしまいました、幸い水が浅かったです＾０＾
ガイドさんがマングローブの道中説明をしながら進んでいくので、トレッキングとマングローブ林浴を満喫できました。最終地点の滝あたりで、撮影時間が有り、若いグループが滝の真下で水浴びしました。
午後は由布島の水牛車コースへ変更しました。水牛車に乗りながら、三味線を聞きました。島自体は植物園のようで、良い写真がたくさん取れて、よかったです。

It was a luxurious tour where I could experience mangrove SUP, hiking, and snorkeling all in one day! The SUP was easy to do even for beginners, thanks to the guide's explanations. During the hike to the waterfall, the guide provided clear explanations about the plants, which was very helpful. In snorkeling, I felt safe and enjoyed it because the guide was swimming nearby. I was also happy to receive many photos after the tour. I would love to participate again when I visit Iriomote Island.

マングローブSUPと散策、シュノーケリングが1日で体験できる贅沢なツアーでした！
SUPはガイドさんの説明があるので初心者でも簡単にできました。滝までの散策では、ガイドさんが植物の説明をしてくださり、とても分かりやすかったです。
シュノーケリングではガイドさんが近くで泳いでいるので安心して楽しめました。
ツアー終了後には写真を沢山送っていただき嬉しかったです。
また西表島に行った時には参加したいと思います。
