All Reviews for Marine and Ocean Activities

It was my first time on Miyako Island, and I joined this tour on my last day here. I was amazed by all the marine life and finally saw a sea turtle. The kayaking tour was so fun! As the only Taiwanese tourist, I was paired with my coach. He was very considerate and kind. Even though I couldn’t speak or understand Japanese, he did his best to guide me and provide information about the tour. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this outdoor adventure! By the way, the pumpkin cave was so much fun!

這是我第一次來到宮古島，也是我最後一天參加這個行程。我對所有的海洋生物感到驚嘆，終於看到了海龜。划獨木舟的行程非常有趣！作為唯一的台灣旅客，我和我的教練配對。他非常體貼和友善。雖然我不會說也聽不懂日語，但他盡力為我解說行程的相關資訊。強烈推薦給對戶外冒險感興趣的朋友！順便說一下，南瓜洞穴真的很好玩！

It was my first experience, but thanks to the guide's attentive service, it was enjoyable. I would like to go again next time. It was a good memory.

初めての体験ですが、ガイドさんの丁寧なご対応で楽しいかったです〜
また今度行ってみたいと思います。
良い思いでした。

I participated at the beginning of September! The plan included a pumpkin cave, sea turtle snorkeling, and SUP, and it was a day full of satisfaction✨ The sea was beautiful, and the handsome instructor shared many stories about the ocean, corals, and the cave, as well as recommendations for shops, allowing me to really feel the charm of Miyako Island!✨

During snorkeling, I even got to see a sea turtle! Honestly, I thought it would be rare to encounter one, so I was amazed to see one less than 30 minutes after entering the water, haha.

Although we couldn't bring our phones during the tour and couldn't take our own photos, the instructor took many pictures at the best moments, allowing us to capture our memories!

It truly was a day of great satisfaction! Thank you!

9月の初めに参加させていただきました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞→ウミガメシュノーケル→SUPのプランで1日中大満足のプランでした✨
海が綺麗だったのはもちろん、インストラクターのイケメンお兄さんが海やサンゴ、鍾乳洞にまつわる色んなお話や、おすすめのお店などをたくさんお話ししてくれて、宮古島の魅力をたくさん感じられた1日でした！✨

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメにも会えました！
正直ウミガメに会えるのはなかなかないだろうと思っていたので、海に入って30分もせずに会えたことには感動しました笑

ツアー中は携帯を持ち込めないですが、自身で写真を撮ることはできませんが、お兄さんがベストなタイミングで写真をたくさん撮ってくれて、思い出を形に残すこともできました！

本当に大満足の1日になりましたー！
ありがとうございました

It was my first time, but you explained it clearly, so I was able to stand! It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

初めてですが、わかりやすく教えてくれたので、立つことができました！
楽しかった！！！！！！！！！！

After paddling desperately in the beautiful sea, I arrived at the Pumpkin Cave! Once inside, you can have a mystical experience! There are fun adventure elements like climbing over rocks and jumping off them.

By the way, the Pumpkin Cave and SUP are at different locations, and there is quite a bit of time in between. There’s enough time to rest at the hotel to recover from fatigue, so if you have the chance, doing SUP would be fun too!

Nogi-chan's guide was incredibly enjoyable!

綺麗な海のなかで必死にカヤックをこいで行った先には、パンプキン鍾乳洞が！中にはいると神秘的な体験ができます！岩場をよじ登ったり、岩場から飛び降りたりというアドベンチャー要素もあって楽しいですよ～

ちなみに、パンプキン鍾乳洞とSUPは実施場所も違うし、結構時間があきます。疲れをとるためにホテルで休憩するくらいの時間はあるので、折角ならばSUPもやると楽しいですよ！

のぎちゃんのガイドがめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

The weather was very nice, and I was able to see beautiful ocean views that I usually can't experience. Although there is a bit of distance to the point, with the assistance of the staff, I was able to reach the point easily.

天気がとてもよく、普段味わえない海の綺麗な景色を見ることが出来ました。
ポイントまでは多少の距離がありますが、キャストさんのアシストもあり、簡単にポイントに到着することが出来ます。

I participated in a tour to see sea turtles with friends as a memory for my last days in my 40s. It had been about 20 years since I last went into the ocean, and I was filled with anxiety rather than excitement. However, thanks to the instructors' thorough explanations and their considerate encouragement for those who couldn't swim, I truly had a fun and valuable time, creating the best memories! Although it was a short half-day tour, we were well-informed about the spots to see the sea turtles, and we were able to see them properly!

40代最後の思い出に友達とウミガメに会えるツアーに参加しました。海に入るのも20年ぶりくらいで楽しみより不安で一杯でしたが、インストラクターの人達の丁寧な説明、泳げない人への気配り優しい声かけで本当に楽しく貴重な時間を過ごせてサイコーの思い出になりました！
半日という短い時間でしたがちゃんとウミガメに会えるポイントも分かっていてしっかりウミガメにも会えました！

I received support for snorkeling, and thanks to Doraemon, I was able to see the turtles while being guided closely. I also managed to stand up on the wakeboard. Everyone was really nice.

シュノーケリングでサポートしていただき、ドラえもんさんには付きっきりで引っ張っていただきカメを見ることができました。ウェイクボード？も何とか立てました。皆さんいい感じの方ばかりでした。

We participated as a family of four with our 4 and 9-year-old children. Since we have small kids, we were worried about the physical demands, but the schedule was very manageable and we had a great time. The guides were named Shotaro and Macchan. The explanations about the mangroves were very clear, and the kids listened with interest. They remembered the children's names and took a lot of photos, which made the experience fulfilling. If we have the chance, we would like to participate in other activities as well.

4歳9歳の子どもを連れて家族4人で参加しました。小さい子どもがいるので体力的にもつか心配でしたが無理のないタイムスケジュールでとても楽しかったです。ガイドさんのお名前はしょうたろうさん、まっちゃんでした。マングローブの説明もとてもわかりやすくて子どもも興味を持って聞いていました。子ども名前を覚えてくださったり、写真もたくさん撮ってもらい充実していました。機会があれば他のアクティビティも参加してみたいです。

I participated for the first time! With a guide accompanying us, I was able to enjoy the activities with peace of mind! They also took wonderful photos for us!
Swimming in the beautiful sea and seeing the fish and coral reefs created such lovely memories!
In the Pumpkin Cave, I was able to see very mystical sights, and diving from the cave into the sea was thrilling! I would love to participate in other activities as well!

初めて参加させていただきました！ガイドの方が付いていてくださるため、安心してアクティビティを楽しむことが出来ました！また素敵な写真を撮って頂けました！
綺麗な海を泳いで、魚たちやサンゴ礁を見ることが出来、とても素敵な思い出になりました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞ではとても神秘的な光景を見ることが出来たり、鍾乳洞から海へのダイブはスリルが満点です！またほかのアクティビティに参加したいと思います！

The person who taught us was very polite, and the water was beautiful, making it a lot of fun.

At first, I was a bit anxious about whether I would be able to do it properly, but they taught us thoroughly before we got on, so I was able to ride without any problems.

Towards the end, we had about 30 minutes of free time where we could take photos at our favorite spots, which made for a very fulfilling experience.

Additionally, drone filming was included for free, and we received an impressive video at the end.

I would love to experience this again when I visit Miyako Island.

教えてくれた方も丁寧な方でしたし、水も綺麗でとても楽しかったです。

最初はちゃんとなれるか不安な所もありましたが、乗る前にしっかり教えてくれて問題なくのれました。

最後の方は30分くらい自由時間があり
好きな所で写真がとれたりなど、とても充実した時間が過ごせました。

またドローン撮影も無料でついており
迫力ある動画が最後いただけます。

また宮古島来た際は体験したいです。

The footage taken from the drone was truly beautiful and breathtaking. The snorkeling near the Blue Cave was enjoyable, even with small children, thanks to the attentive instructor.

ドローンからの撮影した映像は本当に綺麗で圧巻でした。青の洞窟付近でのシュノーケリングも小さい子供連れでしたがインストラクターの方がしっかりしてくれてましたので楽しめました。

I am truly grateful for the full day guided tour of the Pumpkin Cave and Shigira Beach! Tetsu-chan's guidance was very easy to understand, and thanks to the careful and attentive way he guided us, it became a wonderful memory! If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do it again! Thank you very much for this experience!

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシギラビーチを丸一日ガイドしていただいて本当に有り難かったです！
てっちゃんさんのガイドもとても分かりやすく、丁寧にガイドしていただいたおかげで楽しい思い出となりました！
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！
この度は本当にありがとうございました！

I had a great time! The staff were also very friendly. Personally, I recommend adding water activities in addition to snorkeling! Also, there were quite a few people who got seasick, so I think it would be better to take motion sickness medication to enjoy it more.

とても楽しかったです！スタッフの方も親切でした。個人的にはシュノーケルに加えて、水上アクティビティをするのをお薦めします！あとは結構船酔いしてる人がいたので、酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方が楽しめるかなと思います。

It was efficient and felt great! The ocean was incredibly beautiful. It would have been better if there were point transfers. The staff's response was also good!

テキパキしてて気持ちよかった！海は最高に綺麗でした。
ポイント移動があれば直良でした。
スタッフの対応も良かったです！

On the second day of our trip, we were worried about the typhoon on August 26. However, we were blessed with good weather and went out to the sea at Sesoko. I had my first experience with parasailing and banana boating, both at over 60. I was filled with anxiety, especially since I'm not great with heights, but parasailing was incredibly comfortable. The banana boat was also a lot of fun. It was the best experience!

8月26日台風が心配された旅行の2日目。天候に恵まれ瀬底の海にでました。パラセーリングとバナナボートに６０を超えて初体験。特にやや高いところが苦手な私にとって不安でいっぱいでしたが、、パラセーリングはめちゃ快適でした。バナナボートもめちゃ楽しかった。最高の体験をすることができました。

Initially, I had planned to experience the Blue Cave, but due to the weather, it was changed to snorkeling with sea turtles. However, it turned out to be a highly satisfying activity, and I enjoyed the entire day! The instructor was very supportive, especially for beginners, so even if you're scared of the ocean but still want to try, you can enjoy it with peace of mind. They are also very friendly, which helps ease any tension and lift your spirits.

The Pumpkin Cave is accessed by kayaking to a small cave entrance from the sea, and I was amazed by the mysterious scenery that you wouldn't expect from the outside. It made me feel like an adventurer, and the grandeur of nature brought an incredible sense of excitement and accomplishment for everyone, regardless of age.

During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles up close, and having photos taken from angles we couldn't capture ourselves became a wonderful memory! I definitely want to do it again. For those visiting Miyako Island for the first time and unsure of how to spend their time, I think this is just perfect.

最初は青の洞窟体験予定でしたが、天候等によりウミガメとのシュノーケリングに変更になりましたがとても満足度の高いアクティビティで1日楽しめました(^^)
インストラクターさんは初心者にもしっかり寄り添ってくれますので海が怖いけどそれでも体験したいという方でも安心して楽しめると思います。そして気さくな方なので緊張もほぐしてくれ気持ちを上げてくれます。
パンプキン鍾乳洞はシーカヤックを漕いで行った先の海から入る小さな洞窟の入口の先に外からは想像もつかない神秘な風景に驚かされ、冒険家になったような気持ちになり自然の偉大さに老若男女問わずワクワク感と達成感半端無いです。
シュノーケリングはウミガメにしっかり会えましたし、自分達では撮れないアングルの写真を撮ってもらえるのは最高の思い出になりました！またやりたいです。
宮古島初めて、どう過ごそうと悩んでいる方には丁度良いと思います。

The tour to Yufushima on a water buffalo was wonderful; the buffaloes were incredibly cute and very soothing. We had time to stroll leisurely, which was relaxing! The SUP was also enjoyable, as the guide explained everything thoroughly, making it easy to have fun even as a beginner! I was very satisfied to see the mangroves up close. I will definitely use this service again next time!

水牛に乗って由布島に行くツアーは水牛たちがすごく可愛くてすごく癒されました。
ゆっくり散策する時間もあってのんびりできました！
SUPもガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれるので初めてでも安心して楽しむことができました！
マングローブも近くで見ることができて大満足です。
また次回も利用させてもらいます！

During our trip to Okinawa, my wife really wanted to go surfing, so I reluctantly agreed to go.

I didn't think I would be able to stand up even once since I'm not particularly athletic, but the instructor taught us patiently, and I was able to ride the waves multiple times. The time flew by, and it was truly enjoyable. I definitely want to do it again.

沖縄旅行にて、奥さんがどうしてもサーフィンに行きたいとの事で、渋々行くこととなりました。

そこまで運動神経が良いということもないので、1度も立ち上がれずに終わるのかなと思っていましたが、
インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えて下さり、無事何度も乗ることが出来ました。
あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまい、本当に楽しかったです。是非またやりたいと思います。

In the morning, I went kayaking to the Pumpkin Cave, and in the afternoon, I went snorkeling.

During the tour, Tetsu shared a lot of interesting knowledge that I didn't know, which made it very enjoyable! Also, I was happy to take pictures at many photo spots!

I had a great time being able to visit the cave, see sea turtles, and take lots of photos. I'm really glad I participated!

午前中はカヤックに乗りパンプキン鍾乳洞へ行き、午後はシュノーケリングをしました。

ツアー中はてっちゃんが色々な知識を話してくれて知らなかったことばかりだったのでとても面白かったです！
また、たくさんのフォトスポットで写真を撮ってくれて嬉しかったです！

鍾乳洞にも行けて、ウミガメにも会えて、たくさん写真も撮ってくれて楽しかったし参加してよかったです！！

The veteran staff skillfully brought together a diverse group of families, international guests, and solo travelers, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. It's about a 10-minute walk to the river, so it’s not a hassle at all. At first, it took quite a bit of courage to jump in, but I gradually got used to it, and by the time I was leaving, I felt a bit reluctant to go. It was my first time on Iriomote Island, and I appreciated the help with dinner arrangements. I had a really great time. Thank you very much, Yuma!

ファミリー、外国からのお客さん、ひとり旅の方とバラエティに富んだグループをベテランのスタッフの方が上手くまとめて和気あいあいとした雰囲気で楽しめました。川までは歩きますが10分ほどなので苦にはなりません。最初飛び込む時はかなり勇気がいりましたがだんだん慣れてきて帰る頃には名残惜しくなるくらいでした。初めての西表島だったのですが晩ごはんの心配もしていただき助かりました。本当に楽しかったです。ゆうまさんどうもありがとうございました！

I was worried because my Japanese is not very good as a foreigner, but the guide explained everything well in English, which was great. ☺️ The overall system of the tour (instead of everyone getting on the bus together after one tour ends, we moved individually in cars) wasn't that great, but the guide took beautiful photos for us and was very kind! Thanks to the guide's hard work in searching for sea turtles, we were able to see them! It was difficult to carry the boat because of the nail art, but the guide carried everything and was always smiling, creating a bright atmosphere for the tour! Thank you so much for making it a wonderful day!

外国人なので日本語が下手で心配したんですが、ガイドさんが英語でうまく説明してくれてとても良かったです。☺️ ツアーの全体的なシステム（一つのツアーが終わるとみんなでバスに乗って移動するのではなく、個別に車に乗って移動する）はそんなに良くはなかったのですが、ガイドさんが写真もきれいに撮ってくださって、すごく親切でした！ ガイドさんが一生懸命ウミガメを探してくださったおかげでウミガメを見ることができました！ネイルアートがありますからボートを運ぶのが難しかったのですが、ガイドさんが全部運んでくれて、いつも笑っていたので、明るい雰囲気でツアーができました！ 良い一日を作ってくださって本当にありがとうございます！

I participated in a tour of the Pumpkin Cave and snorkeling. We traveled to the entrance of the cave by canoe, and the cave was very mysterious. It seems that the Pumpkin Cave is set to become a cultural heritage site, so if you're interested, it might be better to go sooner rather than later!

Snorkeling was enjoyable with a life jacket and fins, making it easy to explore. There were many fish in the coral reef, and I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle.

Tsubasa, who led the tour, had a wonderful smile and explained a lot about marine life! Thank you!

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。
鍾乳洞の入口まではカヌーで移動しました、鍾乳洞はとても神秘的でした。パンプキン鍾乳洞は文化遺産になるそうで、そうなると入れなくなるそうなので気になる方は早めの方がいいかもしれません！
シュノーケリングはライフジャケットとフィンで楽にシュノーケリングを楽しめました。サンゴ礁にはたくさんの魚がいましたし、ウミガメにも遭遇することが出来て良かったです。
ツアーを担当してくれたつばささんは、笑顔が素敵で海の生物のことなどたくさん説明してくれました！ありがとうございました！

I was excited to experience the unique nature of Iriomote Island, where I encountered large eel-like creatures in the mangroves. On Yufu Island, where I rode a water buffalo, I also met a turtle. It seems that it's rare, but it's not often you come across a turtle while walking around in daily life, so it was interesting. Everything was new to me, but I felt reassured as the guide kindly taught me various things. It became a wonderful memory!

マングローブは、大きいうなぎみたいなのもいて、西表島ならではの自然を体感でき、ワクワクしました。
水牛に乗っていった由布島でも、カメと会いました。
レアだそうですが、日常で普通に歩いててカメと会うことなんてなかなかないので面白かったです。
初めてのことばかりでしたが、ガイドさんに親切に色々教えていただき安心しました。
良い思い出になりました！

I'm glad it was sunny!
The beautiful sea and blue sky.
Thank you to the staff for being very kind and attentive.
I had so much fun.

晴れてよかった！
綺麗な海と青い空
スタッフの方もとても親切丁寧に対応していただきありがとうございました。
とってもとっても楽しかったです。

Continuing from the previous day, I participated in PiPi's tour. In the morning, we visited Yufujima, and in the afternoon, we had a canoe mangrove tour. I was happy to ride the water buffalo cart at Yufujima, but I wish we had a bit more free time… In the afternoon, I joined Moo's team for canoeing. It was a lot of fun, starting with the explanation of how to operate the canoe, followed by insights about the mangroves and information about the island. "Moo's team never gives up!" It connects to our outlook on life, doesn't it?! I think it was a great opportunity for my second son to think about nature. On the way back and the next day, we checked on "Grandpa's water buffalo" again (laughs). We also enjoyed mango juice. This might be the last trip for us as a family, and we had many experiences that became wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

前日に引き続き、PiPiさんのツアーに参加。午前は由布島観光で、午後はカヌーマングローブツアー。
由布島は水牛車に乗れて嬉しかったですが、できればもう少し自由時間が長めに欲しかったですね…。
午後はムーさんチームでカヌーに乗りました。操作方法の説明に始まりマングローブについての解説や、島の情報など大変楽しかったです。「ムーさんチームは諦めない！」人生観にも繋がりますね？！特に次男には自然について考えるいい機会になったと思います。帰りと翌日に「おじいの水牛」を改めて確認(笑)。マンゴージュースも堪能。親子での旅行ももう最後かもしれず、いろんな経験ができとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

Although we couldn't go sea kayaking due to the weather on the day, we were able to participate in snorkeling! The guide was very thorough and explained everything clearly, even going out of their way to take photos for us! We also searched for sea turtles until the very last moment and were fortunate enough to see them. Thank you for such a valuable experience! I would love to make a reservation again if the opportunity arises!

当日の天候でシーカヤックはできませんでしたが、シュノーケリングは参加させていただきました！
ガイドの人は丁寧にわかりやすく教えていただいたり、体を張って写真を撮ってくくれました！また、ギリギリの時間までウミガメを探し無事見ることができましたとても貴重な体験をさせていただきありがとうございました！またぜひ機会があびましたら予約させていただきたいです！

My first experience with parasailing made me a bit anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but I had a wonderful time that will be a lifelong memory. Before the experience, it started to rain and the wind picked up, and the staff even mentioned, "It might be a bit tough... we might just end up on the boat..." due to the weather, but we managed to set sail. All participants were able to experience parasailing. From the speed of the boat and the atmosphere of the staff, it was clear they were pushing the limits. As soon as we returned to the port, the weather turned rough. I can’t thank the staff enough for their efforts to ensure we could experience parasailing. The boat ride to and from was quite bumpy due to the rough sea, but it felt like an attraction and was fun as well. I tend to get seasick, but I didn’t feel nauseous, probably because I took motion sickness medication. I had a truly memorable time. Thank you!

パラセーリングの体験は初めてで楽しめるかどうか不安だったのですが、とても楽しく一生の思い出になるような素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。体験前雨も降り出し、風も強くなり、スタッフさんも「少し厳しいかもしれません…。船に乗るだけになるかも…」とおっしゃるくらいの天気でしたが、なんとか出航。参加者全員パラセーリングを体験することができました。船の急ぎ具合とスタッフさん達の雰囲気から、相当ギリギリを攻めていることは伝わりました。港に戻るとすぐ大荒れの天気に。パラセーリングを体験させてあげたいと頑張ってくださったスタッフさんには感謝しかありません。行き帰りの船は海が荒れていたため激し目の揺れでしたが、アトラクションみたいでそれも楽しかったです笑。私も酔いやすい方ではありますが、酔い止めを服用していたためか酔うことはなかったです。心に残る素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございます。

I couldn't see any sea turtles, but the ocean was beautiful and there were plenty of fish. The coral was also large and impressive.

ウミガメを見ることはできませんでしたが、海が綺麗で魚もたくさんいました。サンゴも大きく見応えがありました。

I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles on the day of the tour... However, our guide, Chitose, introduced us to many beautiful fish and coral reefs, and she also provided a lot of support for my parents, who are not very good swimmers, and my scared elementary school child, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

The Pumpkin Cave was much larger than I expected, and I was surprised by the big pumpkin. Both my child and I were shocked to think we had to climb it, but my child said it was great that we gathered the courage to try climbing it.

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and there are still many activities I want to participate in, so I definitely want to see sea turtles next time! I will come back!

ウミガメに会いたくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は残念ながらウミガメに会うことはできず…
でしたが、ガイドの千登勢さんにきれいな魚たちや珊瑚礁をたくさん紹介していただき、また、泳ぎに不慣れな両親と怖がりの小学生の子供のフォローもたくさんしてもらいがら楽しむことができました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は、思っていたよりも大きなパンプキンでびっくりしました。これを登るのか〜と親子ともどもビックリしましたが、勇気を出して登ってみてよかったと子供も話していました。
初めての宮古島でしたが、まだまだ参加したいアクティビティーもたくさんあるし、次回こそウミガメに会いたいです！また来ます！
