All Reviews for Marine and Ocean Activities

I received feedback immediately after the challenge, which helped me identify areas for improvement. Despite the rough waves and being a beginner, I was able to ride the waves. Thank you for the generous support. I had a great time.

挑戦後すぐにフィードバックをいただいたことで、改善点がわかり、荒れた波で難易度が高い状態かつ初心者にもかかわらず波に乗ることができました。手厚いサポートをしていただき、ありがとうございました。とても楽しかったです。

The instructor was kind and taught us well, and we also had free time to enjoy ourselves! The weather was nice, and we got to appreciate the beautiful sea! They even lent us waterproof cases for our smartphones and took great care of us.

インストラクターの方が優しく教えてくれて、尚且つ自由時間もあり楽しめました！天気も良く綺麗な海を堪能！スマホの防水ケースも貸してくれたりといろいろとケアしてもらいました。

A tour I wanted to experience once.
It was quite challenging for me due to my lack of exercise!
With the help of the guide, it was very enjoyable.

Thank you! 😊

一度体験したかったツアー
運動不足の僕には大変でしたが！
ガイドさんの助けもありとても楽しかったです

ありがとうございました😊

It was my first time kayaking, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, so I had no worries at all. Our valuables were kept in a locked box, and we only brought water and our mobile phones onto the kayak. They took so many great photos that I felt we didn't even need to take our own. They also filmed us with a drone, and the surprise gift at the end was fantastic. The guides were all kind and greeted us with bright smiles throughout, making it a fun memory. Thank you for providing an experience that was worth more than the price!

初めてのカヤックでしたが、ガイドの方がとても丁寧に教えてくれるので何の心配もありません。貴重品は鍵付きのBOXで預かってもらえて、カヤックに持ち込むのは水と携帯電話。写真を沢山撮ってくれて自分達で撮る必要はないんじゃないかなと思うくらい良い写真ばかりでした。ドローンで撮影もしてもらい、終わったあとのサプライズプレゼントは最高でした。ガイドの方々が皆さん親切で終始明るい笑顔で接してくれたので楽しい思い出になりました。お値段以上の体験をさせてもらいありがとうございました！

I went snorkeling for the first time! At first, I was a bit confused about how to use the fins and snorkel, but with a life jacket, I didn't have to worry about drowning, and once I got used to it, I could swim quite comfortably.

There were colorful fish swimming right in front of me, and it was truly beautiful. On the sea turtle tour, I was able to see a turtle sleeping on the ocean floor. However, since it was quite deep, it felt a bit distant. It was different from what I had seen in photos. But I was really happy to see a wild turtle that I had longed for.

One downside was that there were no changing rooms on the boat, so I had to change in the shared restroom. I thought I could change at the port's changing room, but once we arrived, we had to get on the shuttle bus right away, so I couldn't use it.

Also, some of the staff were a bit rude to the guests. Since most of the participants were foreigners, they probably thought we couldn't hear them... It was shocking and a bit off-putting.

Overall, I had a very good experience and I'm satisfied!

初めてシュノーケリングをしました！最初はフィンやシュノーケルの使い方に戸惑いましたが、ライフジャケットがあるので溺れる心配もないし慣れれば結構快適に泳げます。
目の前を色とりどりの魚が泳ぎ回っていて本当に綺麗でした。
ウミガメツアーでは海底で寝ているカメを見る事が出来ました。が、結構深い海底のため何となくアレかなぁといった感じ。写真で見るのと実際とでは違いました。でも念願の野生のカメを見れて嬉しかったです。
少し残念だったのは、船の中に更衣室はなく共用トイレで着替えなければいけなかったこと。港の更衣室で着替えればいいと思っていましたが、着いたらすぐ送迎バスに乗るため港の更衣室は使えませんでした。
またスタッフの中には客に対して口の悪い方がいます。参加者が殆ど外国の方なので多分聞こえないと思っているのでしょうが...衝撃でちょっと引いてしまいました。
全体としてはとても良い体験ができて満足です！

Since I had experienced the same activity in another place, I hoped for a "serious mode." They listened to various requests I had, so it was enjoyable.

他の場所で同じアクティビティを体験していたので、「本気モード」を希望。
こちらの希望をいろいろと聞いて下さるので、楽しかったですよ。

I experienced parasailing for the first time in Okinawa. It’s safe and enjoyable, but looking down from above can be a bit scary. However, you won’t get wet, and it’s great that you can take pictures of the scenery with your smartphone from up high!

初めての沖縄で初めてのパラセーリングを体験しました。
安全に楽しむことができますが、上空から下を見たらちょっと怖いかも。
でも濡れることはないし、上空から自分のスマホで景色を撮影できるし良かったですよ！

I had the opportunity to experience pumpkin caves and sea turtle snorkeling with the guide from Soma Sur. Along the way, I learned about the meanings of the flowers blooming on the roadside and the names of the fish swimming in the sea. It was a fun time, not just limited to the activities! I plan to use their services again when I visit Miyako Island.

そーまっするさんのガイドでパンプキン鍾乳洞、ウミガメシュノーケリングを体験させて頂きました！
道中に咲いてる花の花言葉や、海中で泳ぐ魚の名前など、アクティビティ以外でもガイド頂き楽しいひと時を過ごせました！
まだ宮古島へ行く際は利用させて頂こうと思っております。

I hadn't made any plans before arriving at Iriomote Island, but I was interested in canyoning and was looking for a place that allowed same-day reservations. For now, I signed up for a half-day canyoning session, and since it was my first time, I had a great time. Everyone else was from overseas, but the guide explained everything in both English and Japanese, and all the participants got really into it, making it a lot of fun. Next time, I would like to join a different course. Thank you very much.

西表島に着くまで何も決めていませんでしたが、キャニオニングには興味があり、当日予約でも可能なところを探していました。
一先ず、半日でキャニオニングのみでと申し込みましたが、初めてだったので充分に楽しめました。
私達以外は海外の方ばかりでしたが、ガイドさんが英語と日本語で説明してくださって、参加者皆んなで盛り上がり、とても楽しかったです。次回は、別のコースでも参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Even at the age of 70, I had a very enjoyable experience. The staff's explanations were kind, and their skills were excellent, which made me feel at ease.

70歳を迎えた私でも、とても楽しく体験できました。スタッフの方の説明も親切で、腕も良く安心できました。

As the typhoon approached, I signed up at the last minute, but due to strong winds, we switched to canyoning. Following the reliable Captain Macchan, we made our way through the forest, descending to the river to jump off rocks and slide down like on a slide. It was a fun activity with a sense of unity as we cheered each other on with other groups! We also took lots of photos and videos, creating wonderful memories of Iriomote Island!

In the afternoon, we had a course set for Yufu Island, but unfortunately, it was temporarily closed due to the typhoon. When I consulted with Captain Macchan, he suggested a tour around Iriomote Island. Thanks to him, we were able to explore every corner of Iriomote Island, which turned out to be great! Thank you for your flexible support.

I’ll come back to play again when the weather is nice!

台風接近中で様子を見ながらギリギリで申し込んだところ、風が強くてキャニオニングに変更になりました。
頼もしいまっちゃん隊長に続き森の中を進みながら、川に降りて岩の上から飛び込んだり滑り台みたいに滑ったり。
他のグループの人とも掛け声を掛け合ったりと、一体感があり楽しいアクティビティでした！
たくさん写真や動画も撮ってくれて、西表島の楽しい思い出が残せました！

午後から由布島もセットのコースでしたが、台風のためなんと臨時休園。
まっちゃん隊長に相談したら、西表島周遊ツアーを提案してくれました。おかげで西表島の隅から隅まで見て回ることができて逆によかったかも？！
柔軟にご対応いただきありがとうございました。

また、天気が良い時に遊びに来ますね！

I participated in snorkeling, sea kayaking, and the Pumpkin Cave experience. All the activities were wonderful, but the Pumpkin Cave was a unique experience that you can only have here! I was moved by the opportunity to feel the mysteries of nature up close. The guide was also very attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Miyako Island!

シュノーケリング、シーカヤック、パンプキン鍾乳洞の体験に参加しました。
どのアクティビティも素晴らしかったですが、特にパンプキン鍾乳洞はここでしか味わえない唯一無二の体験！
自然の神秘を間近に感じられて感動しました。
ガイドさんも丁寧で安心して楽しめました。宮古島を訪れる方にぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！

We participated as a couple.
As for the experience, we first gathered and learned how to paddle the canoe. The instructor, who had moved from Osaka, taught us patiently. It seems that capsizing is quite rare. On the day we experienced it, the waves were calm, and we were able to paddle the canoe comfortably without capsizing. It was also great that the instructor took photos during the experience, so we didn't have to bring our smartphones.
Instead of following a set course, we had the experience of freely cruising around the bay. There were two groups of participants for one instructor, so there was no particular worry about being left unattended.
We had a very enjoyable canoeing experience! Next, I want to try SUP!

夫婦で参加しました。
体験の中身としては、集合して初めに舟の漕ぎ方を習いました。大阪から移住したというインストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただけました。舟が転覆することは滅多にないそうです。実際に体験した日も波が穏やかで、転覆することもなく気持ちよくカヌーを漕げました。インストラクターの方に体験中の写真を撮ってもらえるため、スマホを持っていかずに済むこともありがたい点でした。
コースに沿って進むというものではなく、自由に湾内を遊覧するという体験でした。1名のインストラクターに対し2組の参加グループだったので、目を離される心配も特にありませんでした。
とても楽しいカヌー体験ができました！次はSUPにも挑戦してみたいです！

I had a wonderful time with the guide, Soma, during the activities! He always shared interesting trivia, making the activity tour full of new discoveries! We kayaked to the Pumpkin Cave, and kayaking was fun; even during a little wait, he took photos and chatted with us! It was my first time at the Pumpkin Cave, and it was very mystical, allowing me to truly appreciate the wonders of nature. During the snorkeling tour in the afternoon, he frequently checked in with us, which made the experience feel safe and enjoyable! He took many beautiful photos, and I was glad to be with Soma's team! I would love to join this tour again when I visit Miyako Island!

ガイドをしてくださった、そーまっするさんのもとで、素敵なアクティビティの時間を過ごせました！
常に面白い豆知識を教えてくださり、常に新しい発見があるアクティビティツアーでした！
カヤックを漕いでパンプキン鍾乳洞へ行きましたが、カヤックも楽しく、ちょっと待ち時間があったときも写真を撮ってくださったり、話をしてくださりました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞は初めて行きましたが、とても神秘的で自然の凄さを実感しました。
午後からのシュノーケルツアーも頻繁に声をかけてくださって、安心して体験することができました！
写真も素敵にたくさん撮ってくださって、そーまっするさんチームで良かったです！
また宮古島に行ったときには参加したいツアーです！

It was my first experience with SUP, but I was able to ride better than I expected, and the views were amazing! The staff were all really nice, and they were kind and reassuring to beginners, so if you're going, I recommend choosing this place!

SUP初体験だったけど、思ったより乗れて絶景で最高でした！
スタッフさんもみんないい人で
初心者にも優しく安心できるので行くならここにした方がいいです！！

The sunset was very beautiful, and I was able to spend a relaxing time. The guide was also kind, which was great. However, it was unclear about the age restrictions for SUP when I signed up, so I changed from solo SUP to canoeing at the last minute. I hope they can improve the way the age requirements are displayed so that it's easier to understand.

夕日がとても綺麗でゆったりした時間を過ごせました。ガイドさんも親切でよかったです。ただ、申し込むときにSUPの年齢制限がわかりにくかったので、直前に一人SUPからカヌーに変更しました。対象年齢がすぐわかるよう表示の仕方を改善してもらえたらと思います。

I was able to see a very beautiful sunset. I also received a lot of photo data. It was a bit disappointing that some of the pictures had what looked like water droplets on them. I recommend the optional drone photography, as it captures the appearance of floating over the clear sea.

とても綺麗な夕日が見られました。写真のデータもたくさんもらえました。何枚か水滴？のようなものが付いていて、残念でしたが。オプションのドローン撮影は、透明な海に浮かぶ姿を撮ってもらえるので、オススメです

The color of the sea was beautiful! Thanks to the accurate advice, I was able to catch the waves! I'll come again!

海の色が綺麗でした！
的確なアドバイスのおかげで波に乗ることができました！
またきます！

I was nervous about trying stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but the staff were kind and taught us well!

They kept a perfect distance, not too close and not too far, allowing us to enjoy our time and take it slow while paddleboarding 🌈🌈

The drone footage was also stunning, and I was happy to receive it for free!

初めてのサップで出来るか不安でしたがスタッフの方が優しく教えてくれます！

近すぎず遠すぎずで見てくれるので自分たちの時間もありゆっくりサップを楽しむことができました🌈🌈

ドローンもすごく綺麗な映像で無料でもらえて嬉しいです！

The pumpkin cave and sea kayaking were canceled the day before, but I was satisfied with snorkeling in the beautiful beach. I was able to see many tropical fish, including clownfish and blue corals. Our guide, Rintaro, took a lot of photos for us (⌒▽⌒).

前日にパンプキン鍾乳洞とシーカヤックが中止になってしまったのですが、シュノーケリングは綺麗なビーチを泳げて満足です
カクレクマノミや青い珊瑚など、南国の魚をたくさん見ることができました
ガイドのりんたろうさんにたくさん写真を撮ってもらいました(⌒▽⌒)

Overall, I was quite satisfied. The entrance to the pumpkin-shaped limestone cave is located at the base of the cliffs by the coast, which gives it a mysterious feel. Inside the cave, you can see typical limestone stalactite formations. The space inside the cave is not large, and there aren't many areas to explore, so the visit can be wrapped up quickly. The difficulty level is low and relatively safe, making it suitable for family experiences. However, it is said that this cave will soon be protected and will no longer be open to tourists, which is quite regrettable.

The boat ride is basically just for getting to and from the limestone cave, as it is very close—less than a hundred meters—so the experience is rather average.

The snorkeling experience was excellent, thanks to the water quality in Miyako Island, which has high visibility. We could clearly see corals, fish, and more. Additionally, the staff responsible for our group maintained the record of 100% encounters with sea turtles this year, which made everyone very happy. The snorkeling equipment they lent us seemed to have been used for a long time and wasn't very effective, but the staff had a backup plan and helped us change it during the trip.

We were not allowed to carry mobile phones during the cave exploration, but I did see some people bringing their own photography equipment while snorkeling. The staff would help take photos; although you couldn't see the equipment in the water, it was still a nice keepsake.

One issue we encountered was that we did not receive the promised contact number until 5 PM the day before, so we had to proactively call the staff to inquire about the arrangements. The morning and afternoon activities were at two different locations, requiring us to move ourselves, and there was no place to change clothes, which was quite inconvenient.

整体来说还是很满意的。
南瓜型钟乳石洞窟的入口在海岸边的崖壁下，很有神秘感。洞窟里面是典型的石灰岩钟乳石地貌。洞窟里面的空间不大，可以探索的地方不多，很快就可以结束，难度低较为安全，应该适合家族体验。但是，据说这个洞窟马上就要被保护起来，今后就不能对观光客开放了，比较遗憾。
划船基本上只是为了往返钟乳石洞窟，由于距离很近不到百米，很快就能划到，体验感就比较一般了。
浮潜的体验十分的好，得益于宫古岛的水质，能见度很高，可以清晰地观看到珊瑚、鱼等等，而且负责我们组的工作人员也延续了今年100%遭遇海龟的记录，大家都很开心。借给我们的肤浅设备应该是用了很久，不是很好用，工作人员也都有预案准备，帮我们途中更换了。
洞窟探险全程不能携带手机，浮潜的时候倒是有看到有人自带了摄影设备。工作人员会帮忙拍照，虽说穿戴设备在海里完全看不出来，但也是很好的纪念。
我们遇到的问题是，前一天直到下午5点都没有收到承诺的联系电话，我们只能主动打电话给工作员询问安排。上午和下午的活动是在两个地点，需要自己移动，而且没有更换衣服的地方，十分的不方便。

I believe that the satisfaction of this type of tour often depends on the quality of the guide.

In this case, the staff worked well together, and our guides, Nagi, Ricky, and Rei, were energetic, kind, and attentive, allowing us to have a very enjoyable day. Thank you to Kaz, who was in training with Ricky.

Safety measures were well thought out, with two guides assigned to each tour, which provided peace of mind. Additionally, there were frequent health checks and reminders to prevent heatstroke, which are very important. I don't think there can be too much emphasis on safety checks.

And this is a matter of luck, but the companions we were with made the day even more enjoyable! If you follow the guide's instructions, you are sure to have a safe and fun day. If you're hesitating, I highly recommend it!

この手のツアーはガイドさんの良し悪しに満足度が左右されることが多いと思っています。

その点こちらは、スタッフ同士の連携もよく、お世話になったナギさん、リッキーさん、レイさんのガイドも元気で親切丁寧でとても楽しい1日を過ごすことができました。リッキーさんについて研修中のカズくんもありがとうございました。

安全面は相当工夫されていて、各ツアーに2人のガイドがついてくれるので安心です。そして、これでもかと言うくらい、途中の体調確認、熱中症予防の呼びかけもあります。大事なことですね。安全確認にやり過ぎはないと思います。
そしてこれは、運に尽きるのですが、ご一緒した仲間も楽しくさらに楽しい１日でした！
ガイドさんの指示に従っていれば、必ず安全で楽しい１日が過ごせます。迷ってる方は是非！

With the guidance of a lively brother from Osaka, I had a truly precious and mystical experience! It was amazing to have the rare opportunity to enter a limestone cave from the sea and explore further!

元気な大阪のお兄さんのガイドのもと、とても貴重な神秘的な体験ができました！
海から鍾乳洞に入って進んでいくというなかなかできない体験ができて、最高でした！！

The staff were very kind, and they played a lot with my small child, which I really appreciated! They also took many photos, and I was truly amazed by the drone footage! I would love to use their services again if I have the opportunity. Thank you!

スタッフの方もとても親切で
小さい子供も一緒でしたが沢山遊んでくださり本当ありがたかったです！
沢山写真も撮って下さり、ドローン映像には本当にびっくりしました！！
また何か機会があれば利用したいです♪
ありがとうございました！

We participated in a tour that included SUP, Pumpkin Cave, and sea turtle snorkeling with a total of five people, including three elementary school students. The SUP was enjoyable, and even the kids had a great time swaying on the gentle waves.

Unfortunately, we couldn't participate in the Pumpkin Cave due to an accident on the way from the parking lot to the site. During the sea turtle snorkeling, my small third-grade son got tired and clung to a float for the latter half, but our guide, Yuuri, was always kind and considerate, showing great care for everyone, especially the children.

Although we were disappointed not to see any sea turtles, we were able to see many fish, including moray eels, sea snakes, and clownfish, which made it a lot of fun. We even got to touch a sea snake!

Yuuri was the only guide who could make bubble rings, and he captured some great photos for us. After we returned, the kids practiced making bubble rings in the hotel pool for a long time. It became the best memory for our family.

Thank you very much!

SUP、パンプキン鍾乳洞、ウミガメシュノーケルのツアーに小学生3人含む計5人で参加させてもらいました。SUPは穏やかな波に揺られながら子どもでも楽しく参加することができました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は駐車場から現地までの間で事故があったため参加できませんでした。ウミガメシュノーケリングでは小柄な3年生の息子は疲れてしまって後半は浮き輪にしがみついていましたが、ガイドのユウリさんは終始優しくて、みんなを気遣ってくれて、子どもにもとっても優しかったです。
ウミガメは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、ウツボやウミヘビ、カクレクマノミなどたくさんの魚が見れたので、とても楽しかったです。ウミヘビも触れました！
ガイドの中で唯一バブルリングができる方で、いい感じに写真にも残してくれました。
帰った後、子ども達はホテルのプールでずーっとバブルリングの練習をしていました。家族で最高の思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

First of all, the location is very good. The staff members were all very friendly and it was enjoyable. Also, the drone images were amazing and created wonderful memories.

まずロケーションがとてもいいです。
スタッフさんもとても皆さんフレンドリーで楽しかったです。後、ドローン画像が最高でとても良い思い出になりました。

This time, I participated in a plan that included a trip to Yufu Island and a canyoning tour.

We were taken by shuttle to both Yufu Island and the canyoning location, and the guide shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island with us.

On Yufu Island, we rode on a water buffalo cart! Once we arrived, we had some free time, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves.

For the canyoning tour, we walked a bit to reach the river, but since we were chatting with the guide, we arrived at the river in no time. Once we got to the river, we could jump from high places and use our bodies to go down the water slide, which was so much fun!

It was an extraordinary experience, and I have the best memories!

今回、由布島とキャニオニングツアーのプランで参加させていただきました。

由布島に行くまでとキャニオニングの場所に行くまではそれぞれ送迎車で連れてってくれてガイドさんも沢山西表島情報を教えてくれます(^^)

由布島では水牛車に乗って向かいました！
着いてからもフリータイムがあるのでゆったり楽しむことができました。

キャニオニングツアーでは川に着くまで少し歩きますがガイドさんとお話ししながらだったのであっという間に目的地の川へ着きました⭐︎川へ行ってからは高いとこから飛び込んだり体を使ってウォータースライダーもできるのですごく楽しいです！

非日常体験ばかりで最高の思い出です

Each time I tried, I received advice like "You can do it better this way," which allowed me to ride multiple times. Thank you very much!
I was very happy to be able to do this in the beautiful sea of Okinawa. Although it was unfortunately cloudy, there were no clouds on the horizon, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset while waiting for the waves!

トライの度に「もっとこうすると良いよ」とアドバイスいただき、何度も乗ることができました。ありがとうございました！
そして、沖縄の綺麗な海の中でできてとても幸せでした。あいにくの曇りでしたが、水平線には雲はなく、波を待ちながら綺麗なサンセットを見ることができました！

I participated in a canoe and water buffalo tour. The response after booking was smooth and reassuring until the day before the tour. I joined Naoto's canoe tour, and the introduction to Iriomote Island was interesting and very enjoyable! It was great not only to canoe but also to swim along the way! The water buffalo experience was very valuable; it was hot but fun! I want to come back to Iriomote Island again. Thank you!

カヌー&水牛のツアーに参加しました。
予約後、前日までの対応もスムーズで安心でした◎
カヌーはなおとさんのツアーに参加させてもらいましたが、西表島の紹介も面白くとても楽しかったです！カヌーだけではなく、途中で泳いだのも最高でした！
水牛はとても貴重な経験で、暑かったけど楽しかったです！
また西表島に来たいです。ありがとうございました！

We traveled by a shared boat to the snorkeling point and had a great time feeding tropical fish in the crystal-clear waters of Okinawa. The boat was filled with participants from Japan, China, South Korea, and English-speaking countries, making it a very international experience.

乗合船で、シュノーケルポイントまで移動して、透明度抜群の沖縄の海で、熱帯魚に囲まれて餌やりなどで楽しめました。
船内は、日本人と中国人、韓国人と英語圏の参加者で国際色も満載でした。
