The weather was wonderful, warm, and with little wind, making it very enjoyable!
My 4-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter skillfully used their children's paddles and paddled along!
We started paddling from the Chitose River, so we were able to see fish, and the kids were very satisfied.
Ido, who taught us how to paddle and guided us, was very kind, took many photos, and was great with the kids. Plus, he recommended a delicious pork bowl restaurant! It was really tasty♡
The only thing I found disappointing was that the weather was too nice, and the glare on the lake's surface was strong, so we couldn't see the scenery reflected on the water. Still, since we were in a clear kayak, I could see well through the bottom, even though the reflections and waves made it hard to see outside!
If I have the chance again, I hope to see the scenery as if floating in the sky!
(For reference, I think the kids were fine in long-sleeved, long-pants rash guards. I put a windbreaker over them. Their sleeves and pants got a little wet. The kids felt cold after getting back to shore, so I think it would have been better to bring their shoes and outerwear in waterproof bags.)
天気に恵まれ暖かく、風も少なく、とても楽しめました!
4歳の息子と6歳の娘も子供用のパドルを上手に使い、漕いでいました!
千歳川から漕ぎ始めたので、魚も見れて子供達は大満足でした。
漕ぎ方を教えてくれ、案内してくれるイドさんは、とても親切で、たくさん写真も撮ってくれ、子供の扱いも上手でした。
それに、美味しい豚丼のお店も教えてくれました!とっても美味しかったです♡
私が唯一残念だったのは、天気が良すぎて湖面の照り返しが強く、湖面に景色が映る感じではなかったことです。
それでもクリアカヤックだったので、カヤックの外だと光の反射や波でよく見えない湖の中も、股の間からよく見えて楽しめました!
また、機会があれば、空に浮いているかのような景色が見れればと思います!
(参考までに、服装は子供も長袖長ズボンのラッシュガードにして問題なかったと思います。子供にはその上にウィンドブレーカーを着せました。
袖やズボンが少し濡れた程度でした。子供たちは、岸に上がってから寒がったので、靴と羽織り物は防水袋(防水袋)に入れて持って行けばよかったかも、と思います。

My first trip to Okinawa.
On the first day of my arrival, I experienced this mangrove kayaking.
I wanted to kayak, see the mangroves, and catch the sunset! I participated with high expectations for these three major attractions.
First of all, I went by rental car, but I was unsure if I was at the right place as the signs were not very clear, and I felt anxious as I headed to the meeting point at the fishing port. However, they quickly recognized me by my rental car number and guided me through the procedures for filling out the waiver and changing clothes.
Regarding changing, there were two single-person triangular tents placed in a building surrounded on three sides, where both men and women could change. The restroom was unisex, which was a bit confusing.
Once all participants gathered, we received a brief instruction on how to hold the paddle and paddle from the shore, and then we boarded the kayak. It was a two-person boat. Since there were only two of us, it was not a problem, but for those in groups of three, they had to pair with someone else, so I think it's better to participate in even numbers.
First, we lightly paddled around the mangroves. The instructor was very friendly, but they mostly introduced their own background rather than sharing more about Okinawa, which I, as a traveler, wanted to know more about. Furthermore, the person in charge mentioned they had only been in Okinawa for a few months. When I asked for recommendations for places to eat after the activity or for sightseeing spots for the next day, the only response was that they weren't very familiar with Okinawa... Hmm.
Of course, I understand that guiding is not their main job, but still... I felt a sense of distrust. I strongly thought that there are many mangrove tours available, and I didn't need to choose this company. I was left feeling dissatisfied with both the cleanliness of the facilities and the content of the experience.
They did teach us how to paddle without getting tired just as we were about to return to the fishing port... The sunset was viewed from almost the same position as out at sea. I think it would be better to improve a bit more before holding the tour.
I was very disappointed given my high expectations.
初めての沖縄旅行。
到着初日にこのマングローブカヤックを体験いたしました。
カヤック乗りたい、マングローブも見たい、サンセットも見られる!
そんな3大魅力に期待を抱き参加いたしました。
まず初めに、レンタカーで行ったのですが看板がよくわからずここで良いのかな?と不安になりながら集合場所の漁港へ。
すぐにレンタカーナンバーで参加者だということに気付いてくださり、誓約書の記載や着替えなどの手順を教えてくださりました。
着替えに関しては、一人用の三角テントが3方を囲われた建物に2つ置いてあり、そこで男女ともに着替える感じでした。
お手洗いも、男女両用で少し戸惑いが隠せませんでした。
さて、参加者が全員そろい陸上でパドルの持ち方から漕ぎ方まで軽く指導していただき、早速乗船。2名一組の船でした。私たちは2人参加でしたので全く問題なかったのですが、3名組の方たちは一人違う方と組む形になるので偶数での参加が良いかなと思いました。
まず、マングローブをかなり軽く回ります。
インストラクターさんも気さくすぎるのか、インストラクターさんの出身地などのプロフィールばかり紹介していて、沖縄に旅行に来た身としては、興味のないインストラクターさんのことよりも沖縄に関してのことをもっと知りたいと思いました。
さらに、担当してくださった方は、沖縄に来てまだ数か月とのこと。
アクティビティーの後に、ご飯でも行きたいなとおすすめのごはん屋さんを聞いても
明日の観光におすすめの場所はあるかと聞いても、
沖縄には詳しくなくて・・・・の返答のみ。
うーーーーん。
もちろん、それをガイドしてくださるのが主な仕事ではないと分かっておりますが、
それでも・・・・という不信感。
これなら、たくさんあるマングローブのツアーをわざわざこの会社にしなくてもと強く思いました。それくらい、施設の清潔度に関しても内容に関しても不満感のみが残りました。
カヌーの疲れない漕ぎ方とかも帰りの道のりでもうすぐ漁港に帰るというタイミングで教えてくださったりとか。。。
サンセットは沖で見るのとほぼ同じ位置から。
なにか、もう少し改善をしてからツアー開催した方がよいのではないかと思います。
期待値が高かった分、非常に残念に思いました。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We sincerely apologize for any unpleasant experiences regarding the changing facilities and the staff's response.
Regarding the changing situation, each person is supposed to use one tent, but we acknowledge that we did not pay enough attention to the arrangement of the tents, and we will improve this in the future. The restrooms are facilities provided by the fishing cooperative, so we cannot unilaterally change them, but we will convey your feedback to the cooperative and consider improvements in their usage.
During the tour, we focus on explaining the mangroves (though staff members have slightly different areas of expertise), and we also discuss the river, the ecology of nature and living creatures, and cultural topics. We recognize that some explanations may not have reached you, which reflects our lack of guidance. The staff member on duty that day is currently studying about Okinawa, and we sincerely apologize for not being able to answer the questions you raised.
If customers have difficulty paddling during the tour, we explain how to paddle each time, but we will work on improving the timing of those explanations as well.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to provide clearer guidance and explanations to our customers in the future.
Thank you once again for your valuable input.
この度は弊社ツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
また、お着替えやお手洗いの施設およびスタッフの応対については、
お客様に不愉快な思いをさせてしまい、大変申し訳ありませんでした。
着替えの件ですが、テントはお一人様一つずつ使用するものですが、
テントの配置等に気配りが至らなかったことに関しましては今後改善して参ります。
お手洗いは漁協組合の施設を利用しているものですので、弊社の独断で施設の変更などは出来ませんが、
漁協組合に今回いただいたご指摘を伝え、使用方法についての改善を検討させていただきます。
ツアー中にはマングローブの説明を中心に (スタッフにより得意分野が若干違いますが)
川のお話や自然や生き物の生態、文化のお話をそれぞれさせていただいております。
お客様に説明が届かない内容だったことに関しましては、こちらのガイド不足と認識しております。
当日の担当スタッフは沖縄のことについて現在勉強中ではございますが、
せっかくいただいたご質問にお答え出来なかった点について、誠に申し訳なく思っております。
ツアー中にお客様が上手く漕げない場合には、その都度漕ぎ方を説明いたしておりますが、
その説明が遅く感じられましたことも改善して参ります。
今回いただいた貴重なご意見を踏まえ、今後、お客様へより分かりやすくご案内と説明が出来るよう、
スタッフ一同、一層努力をして参りたいと思います。
この度は、貴重な御意見を頂き、誠にありがとうございました。

I was worried because the weather had been bad until the day before. However, on the day itself, there were some waves, but the weather improved, which was great. The sun was hidden by clouds just before it sank below the horizon, but I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I also got to hear some fun stories, and now I want to try the night tour next time.
前日まで天気が悪かったので不安でした。
でも当日は少し波はありましたが、天気も回復して良かったです。
水平線に沈む寸前に雲に隠れてしまいましたが、きれいな夕日が見れました。
楽しいお話も聞けたし、 今度はナイトツアーも体験してみたいと思いました。
The tropical feeling that you can't usually experience is here in Okinawa. The time spent kayaking while watching the sunset is truly a healing experience. I hope you were able to see a memorable sunset. We look forward to welcoming you next time for a night experience.
普段感じることのできない南国感はここ沖縄に。
カヤックに乗って夕日を眺める時間は、本当に癒し時間といえます。
心に残るような夕日が見られたのなら幸いです。

We participated as a family of three. Since it was during Golden Week, there were a total of 10 groups on the tour. Our first-grade son was able to ride along with the guide, allowing my husband and me to have our own kayak, which made for a more fulfilling experience (laughs).
After getting ready, we received a brief lecture on how to use the oars and how to get in and out of the kayak on land, and then it was all about getting accustomed to it through practice. Everyone on the tour quickly got the hang of it.
On our way upstream from the starting point, there was one spot where the water was stagnant, and it was disappointing to see what looked like oil from wastewater floating on the surface. However, in contrast to that pollution, I think it was a good experience for my son to realize the importance and beauty of the natural environment.
As we descended the river to match the sunset, we reached the sea, where the waves changed the way the kayak rocked, and the scent of the tide and the wind became stronger. Although clouds were gradually increasing, drifting on the sea while watching the orange sun sink beyond the horizon was a special experience.
The guide not only provided information throughout the tour but also took care of our son, which was a great help. Thanks to that, we created wonderful memories. Thank you very much.
親子3人で参加。GW中だったので全体で10組のツアーだった。小学1年の息子はガイドさんと同乗させてもらい、私たちは夫婦だけで1艇となり、子供を任せられたお陰で(笑)、余計に充実した時間が過ごせた。
身支度を整えたあと、陸上でオールの使い方やカヤック乗降の仕方を簡単にレクチャーしてもらい、あとは実践で慣れていく感じだが、ツアーに参加していた皆さんあっという間に慣れて乗りこなしている感じだった。
スタート地点から川の上流に向かう途中、1か所流れが澱んでいて生活排水?の油が浮いていたのが非常に残念だったが、その汚れとの対比で自然環境の大切さ・美しさを実感するという点から見れば、息子にとってもよい経験になったと思う。日没の時刻に合わせて川を下り、海に出ると、波でカヤックの揺れ方も変わり、潮の香りや風が強くなった。徐々に雲が増えてきていたものの、オレンジ色の太陽が海の向こうに沈んでいく様子を海上に漂いながら眺めるのは、特別な体験になった。
ガイドさんには、ツアー全体の案内だけでなく、息子の面倒まで見てもらい大変なお手数をおかけしましたが、お陰で楽しい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for joining us.
It was a fun and lively tour that went by in a flash.
I hope it provided an opportunity for everyone to think about nature in various ways.
I also enjoyed the tour with the children.

This was my fifth trip to Okinawa, celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. This time, I wanted to change things up a bit and have an experience, so we decided to try kayaking! I’m 58 years old, and I felt a bit anxious on the day of the activity. At the meeting point, we were greeted by our guide, Nishi, who seemed very kind, which put me at ease. It was just my husband and me participating in the experience. After the briefing, we got into the water. At first, it was a little shaky, but I quickly got used to it and smoothly paddled along in the kayak. Nishi provided detailed explanations about everything, and I was moved by the beautiful scenery. Is this what true relaxation feels like? Time flew by, and before we knew it, we were back on land. It was a wonderful time. Thank you, Nishi!
沖縄旅行も5回目、結婚30周年、今回は少し内容を変えて、体験をしたいと、ボート乗ってみたいで、何とカヤックに決定! 私は58才 、当日少し不安も、、、集合場所へ、待っていたのはガイド西さん、優しそうな感じに一安心、体験者は私達夫婦だけ、講習終了後いざ入水、最初少し揺れたが、直ぐに慣れスイスイ進むカヤック、一つ一つ詳しい説明、見る風景に感動、これが本当の癒しの空間?、時間もあっという間に 過ぎ上陸、楽しい時間でした、西さん有難う。

My first airplane ride, my first time in Okinawa, and my first kayaking experience. Everything was fresh and new since it was all my first time. It was fulfilling in terms of whether my elementary school children (my eldest daughter in 5th grade and my son in 2nd grade) could enjoy it. The sunset viewed from the kayak was beautiful. My son described the clouds illuminated by the sunset as grape-colored, banana-colored, and strawberry-colored.
初めての飛行機、初めての沖縄、初めてのカヤック。初めてずくめで下ので、何もかも新鮮でした。小学生の子供(長女小5、長男小2)が楽しめるかどうかという点で、充実しました。カヤックの上から見る夕日はよかったです。長男は夕日に照らされる雲をぶどう色、バナナ色、イチゴ色などと形容していましたよ
The sunset changes its shape and color every day. Since it's a natural phenomenon, it's not something we can see every time, but when we do, the joy is even greater. Grape color, banana color, strawberry color. Children's sensitivity is wonderful. We will continue to guide while looking for these three colors.
夕日は毎日形や色を変えています。
自然のことですので毎回見られるわけではないですが、その分見られたときは喜びも一入です。
ぶどう色、バナナ色、イチゴ色。
お子様の感性は素晴らしいですね。
この3色、我々も探しながらこれからもガイドしていきます。

We paddled upstream along the river until sunset, while the staff explained about the mangroves and other trees. However, since the environment originally lacked tourist elements, there wasn't much to explain, and it felt like we were just slowly paddling to match the timing of the sunset. The water was stagnant and smelled bad, and the riverbank was a typical residential area, which was a bit disappointing. I had hoped to see the sunset sinking below the horizon, but it seems safety was prioritized due to the waves, and we ended up watching the sunset behind the mountains, which was also disappointing. I understand that safety is the most important thing, so that can't be helped. It's been 20 days since the photos were taken, but they still haven't arrived.
夕日まで川を逆行しながら、スタッフにマングローブや他の樹木の説明を受けた。しかし、もともと観光要素が無い環境だったので、説明いただく対象がなく、ただただ夕日の時間に合わせるためにゆっくり漕ぐように言われ、時間合わせでそうしていた感じがする。水も澱んで臭うし、川横は普通の生活環境だし、すこし残念。夕日も水平線に沈むものを期待していたが、波を見て安全性を優先したためと思われるが、山に沈む夕日になってしまい、これも残念だった。安全は最重要なのでそれは仕方ないと思う。撮ってもらった写真はすでに20日たつがまだ届かない。
Thank you for your valuable feedback. Regarding the tour, we conduct it with the understanding that we will slowly head towards the sea while discussing the nature of the Hija River, as well as Okinawa's culture and history. If you felt that you were kayaking to match the sunset, we sincerely apologize. As for the sunset, it was indeed a result of prioritizing safety, as you pointed out. Moving forward, we will take your feedback as a lesson and strive to improve our tours. Additionally, concerning the photos, I sent them to the address you provided the following day, but since you mentioned they did not arrive, I will resend the photos via email. Please check them.
