We had a canoe experience as a family of three. The guide, Mr. Seki, provided clear explanations and communicated with all participants, which made us feel at ease throughout the experience. We learned a lot about Iriomote Island and the ecology of the mangroves.
They provided both a small paddle for our 8-year-old daughter and an adult-sized paddle, but she persevered and paddled with the adult paddle until the end. It was also very enjoyable to get out of the canoe to see the mangroves up close and touch the creatures living there.
Although it was our first canoe experience, it became a precious opportunity to feel the nature of Iriomote Island, and we created wonderful memories.
家族3人でカヌー体験をしました。
ガイドの関さんの説明がわかりやすく、また、参加者全員とコミュニケーションを取りながら進めてくださったので、終始安心して参加することがでしましたし、西表島のことやマングローブの生態のことなど色々と知ることができました。
8歳の娘には子供用の小さいパドルと大人と同じパドル両方貸してくださいましたが、最後まで大人と同じパドルで頑張って漕いでいました。
途中カヌーをおりてマングローブを近くで見たり、そこにすむ生き物に触れたりしたこともとても楽しかったです。
初めてのカヌー体験でしたが、西表島の自然を感じられるとても貴重な体験になり、いい思い出ができました。
防水ケースがないとスマホ等をカヌーに持ち込めません。ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮って送ってくださったので助かりましたが、自分で写真を撮りたい方は防水ケースが必須です。
This time, we guided a tour of the Urauchi River at low tide. It was a very valuable experience to encounter creatures and ecosystems that can only be seen during low tide. While there are many attractions during high tide, the scenery and discoveries unique to low tide are exceptional. In particular, it was impressive to observe many creatures up close, such as the fiddler crab and the southern mudskipper, which are usually hidden. We were able to thoroughly enjoy the changing nature of the Urauchi River with the seasons and time, spending an unforgettable wonderful time.

今回は干潮時の浦内川をご案内しました。干潮のタイミングでしか見られない生き物や生態系に出会えて、とても貴重な体験となりました。満潮時も魅力がたくさんありますが、干潮時ならではの景色や発見もまた格別です。特に、普段は隠れているコメツキガニやミナミトビハゼなど、多くの生き物を間近で観察できたのが印象的でした。季節や時間とともに変わる浦内川の自然をじっくり楽しみながら、忘れられない素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。

I had the impression that the Blue Cave would be crowded, so I had been avoiding it until now, but I wanted my children to experience it, so I participated this time.
On the day of the tour, there were many tour companies, but it seemed relatively uncrowded, and we were able to get into the sea right away from Maeda Cape.
Our tour guide, Mr. Kaneshiro, was very thorough in his explanations, kept the conversation lively, and was a master at creating mysterious rings. He also took a lot of photos for us.
Additionally, the restaurants he recommended were both very delicious! The food at COBY was especially amazing!
I highly recommend this tour company.
青の洞窟は混んでいるイメージがあって今まで敬遠していたのですが、子供達にも体験して欲しくて今回参加しました。
当日はたくさんのツアー会社がいましたが、比較的空いていたようで、眞栄田岬からはすぐに海に入れました。
ツアーを担当してくださった金城さんは、説明がとても丁寧で、たくさん話を盛り上げてくれて、謎の輪っかを作る達人でした。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。
また、お勧めしていただいた飲食店はどちらもとても美味しかったです!特にCOBY最高でした!
大変おすすめのツアー会社さんです。
The blue cave snorkeling and kayak tours are held at different locations, requiring about a 20-minute drive. The kayak tour is in Yomitan.
青の洞窟シュノーケルとカヤックのツアーはそれぞれ別の場所での開催で、自車で20分ほど移動します。

I was really looking forward to leisurely watching tropical fish, but it turned out to be quite a workout. However, the instructor was very kind and attentive, which made the experience reassuring. Since we were two women paddling, it was challenging, but I feel that if I were paired with a man, it would be a bit more relaxing. If I have the chance again, I would like to try a different activity.
想像ではゆったり熱帯魚を見る気満々だったので、思いのほかガッツリ漕ぐので大変でした。でも、インストラクターの方がとても丁寧で優しかったので安心して体験できました。今回は女性2人で漕いだので大変でしたが男性とペアだともう少しリラックスして体験出来るような気がします。
また機会があれば違うアクティビティもやってみたいです。
It's good for men and women to pair up. (Since we were two women and one man, we split into two pairs with the two women, but we regretted it later, haha.) For those who are not used to exercising, yo
男性と女性がペアになると良いです。
(私達は女2人男1人だったので2曹に別れ女性2人でペアにしちゃいましたが後に後悔しました笑)運動不足の方は腕がバキバキに筋肉痛になるので当日湿布が必須アイテムです。

The instructor guided us in a fun way. Just participating in the kayaking experience while listening to enjoyable stories was worth it, but being able to see the nature and creatures of Okinawa made it a priceless experience. My 5-year-old daughter missed her nap time and got a bit cranky, but the instructor handled it without showing any displeasure, which was a great help! Thank you very much.
インストラクターさんが楽しくガイドしてくれました。楽しいお話を聞きながらのカヤック体験だけでも参加する価値ありなのですが、沖縄の自然や生き物を見ることができてプライスレスの経験となりました。

Since the pumpkin cave and sea kayaking were canceled, this review is only for snorkeling.
You can easily enter the sea by walking from the shore, so even those who are not comfortable with boats can participate without hesitation. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but the sea was beautiful, and I did get to see Nemo 😃. The staff was also kind and provided good service.
パンプキン鍾乳洞とシーカヤックが中止になったのでシュノーケリングのみの評価です。
海岸から歩いて海に入るので、船が苦手な方でも気軽に参加できます。残念ながらウミガメには遭遇出来ませんでしたが、海も綺麗でニモにも会えました😃

It takes just over two hours from gathering to dispersing, so it's best to participate with some time to spare. This way, you can take your time. It's a gentle experience, but since you'll be going down the river and then back up, I found the latter half to be more tiring than I expected. Also, in the shallow parts of the river, you'll need to walk, so it's advisable to prepare for that as well. Considering all of this, it was a very good experience for the family.
集合から解散まで2時間強かかりますので、時間に余裕もって参加した方がいいです。その分、じっくりできます。緩やかですが、川を下って、上ることになりますので、後半は思っていたより疲れました。また、川の浅い所は歩くことになりますので、少なくともそれ用の準備した方がよいです。これらのこと含めて、家族でとても良い体験なりました。

In the first half, we leisurely floated along the river. It was full of adventure as we passed under the mangroves and spotted crabs and bats. When we rode the gentle current out to the sea, the orange sun was beginning to set. After about 15 minutes swaying with the ocean waves, the orange color of the sky deepened as the sun sank below the horizon. The rich oxygen, vibrant colors, and the view of the horizon provided a detoxifying experience. The return trip was not as tough as I had anticipated, making for a pleasant workout. I would love to participate again.
前半は川の流れにのってのんびりと。マングローブの下をくぐったり、カニやコウモリを見つけたりして冒険気分満載でした。
ゆるやかな流れに乗り海へ出ると、オレンジ色の太陽が沈みかけてました。海の波に揺られる事15分位かな?空のオレンジ色が濃くなり水平線に太陽が潜っていきました。濃い酸素、鮮やかな色、水平線の景色、デトックスな時間でした。帰りも覚悟していた程はキツくなく、程よいエクササイズとなりました。

Today, due to the impact of the typhoon, we only did sea turtle snorkeling. She wasn't very confident in swimming, so I was quite worried until we started, but our guide, Riki, was very kind and reassuring. Not only did he carefully explain how to move in the water beforehand, but he also provided detailed information about the creatures we saw. It was really great. He took wonderful photos and videos, so I recommend this experience for couples or families.

On this day, the waves were high, so we couldn't go to the Pumpkin Cave, but in the morning we experienced snorkeling, and in the afternoon, we tried sea kayaking. My 8-year-old was super excited to see a sea turtle swimming right in front of him during his first snorkeling experience. Then, during the highly anticipated sea kayaking, thanks to the staff's kindness, he also got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). When I asked him which activity he enjoyed the most, he said, "They were all fun!" (laughs)
Yutti, our snorkeling guide, and Hiro and Kyo-chan, who guided us with their Kansai dialect during kayaking and SUP, all provided very clear explanations, making us feel safe during the experience. Their attentive service and fun conversations allowed our family to have a wonderful time! Next time, we plan to tackle the cave again, and I definitely want to request it here.
この日は波が高くパンプキン鍾乳洞は行けませんでしたが、午前中はシュノーケリング、午後からはシーカヤックを体験しました。
8歳のこどもは、はじめてのシュノーケリングで目の前を泳ぐ海亀に大興奮、そして、楽しみにしていたシーカヤックでは、スタッフさんのご厚意でSUPにも乗せてもらい、どれが楽しかったと聞くと「ぜんぶ楽しかった~!」とのこと(笑)
シュノーケリングのゆってぃさん、カヤック&SUPの関西弁のひろさんときょうちゃんさん、スタッフの方々はみなさん、とても分かりやすい説明で安心して体験できましたし、丁寧な対応と楽しいトークで、家族一同素敵な時間を過ごせました!
今度は鍾乳洞リベンジ、是非こちらでお願いしようと思います。
The staff are all friendly and polite, so if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask anything. You can experience this with children without worry, but be sure to take them to the
スタッフの方はみなさん気さくかつ丁寧なので、少しでもわからなかったり不安なことがあれば、どんなことでも聞いてください。こども連れでも、安心して体験できますが、トイレは必ず「直前に」連れて行きましょう。

I was taken care of during the snorkeling, sea kayaking, and pumpkin cave tour on the 23rd. I got to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, and I was captivated by the very mystical world of the pumpkin cave. Especially in the pumpkin cave, with the guide's help, I climbed the walls and was even splashed by a waterfall. It far exceeded my expectations for the tour, and I'm really glad I participated. The guide, Tsubasa, was very polite, great at keeping the energy up, and I had a wonderful time.
If you come to Miyako, this tour is a must-do. I definitely want to participate again next time.
23日にシュノーケリング&シーカヤック&パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーでお世話になりました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメに会え、パンプキン鍾乳洞ではとても神秘的な世界に魅了されました。
特にパンプキン鍾乳洞ではガイドさん協力の下、壁を登り、滝にも打たれました。
予想していたツアー内容をはるかに超えたもので本当に参加して良かったと思っています。
ガイドのつばささんもとても丁寧、盛り上げ上手で楽しく過ごすことができました。

On the day of the event, due to the wind, there were large waves at Lake Shikotsu, so we kayaked on the Chitose River instead, which was also very beautiful and satisfying.
There were many participants, but the check-in process was smooth, which was great.
The instructor was also very attentive, engaging with all the participants appropriately, and he sent us photos at the end via AirDrop.
当日は風の影響で支笏湖は大きな波が立っていたため、千歳川でのカヤックでしたが、千歳川もすごく綺麗で満足です。
参加人数は多かったですが受付もスムーズでよかったです。
インストラクターのお兄さんも、参加者全員に程よく声掛けをしてくださり、写真も最後にエアドロで送ってくれました。
Since the sunlight is strong, it's better to have a hat and sunglasses. Other items like raincoats and sandals are available for rent, so you can participate in casual clothes.
日差しが強いので帽子やサングラスはあった方がいいです。
その他のかっぱやサンダルは貸し出しがあるので普段着でも参加できそうです。
Dear Yama,
Thank you very much for participating! The tour on the Chitose River has many highlights, and it's a very interesting place where the attractions change with the seasons! I'm very happy to hear that you were able to feel some of that excitement. Please come again! We look forward to welcoming you next time with the beautiful autumn leaves! 😊

Since it was the earliest time in the morning, there weren't many other customers or groups, allowing us to leisurely enjoy various aspects of nature. It was my first time kayaking, and I was a bit anxious at first, but they taught us carefully, making it a refreshing experience that I can't usually have in the city! I was also happy to receive various tips and recommendations for restaurants from the instructor! I would love to participate again!
朝一番早い時間だったので、他のお客さんや団体があまりおらず、ゆっくりいろんな自然を見れました。カヤックも初めてで最初不安もありましたが、丁寧に教えてくださり、普段都会では体験できないので新鮮でした!またインストラクターさんに色々な豆知識やおすすめのご飯屋さんまで教えていただき嬉しかったです!また参加したいと思います!

We participated as a family of four, but due to the typhoon, it was canceled. Just when we were feeling disappointed, we were offered the opportunity to go kayaking in the inland sea. When we arrived that day, there were many people gathered, and a handsome guide suggested snorkeling at a different location. They flexibly changed the plan, and as a result, we had a wonderful snorkeling experience.
The service was very polite, and even our children, who were experiencing this for the first time, felt safe participating. When introducing children to nature, in a new place, and with new experiences, safety and reassurance are the top priorities, so we were very grateful for the way they handled everything.
During snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside sea turtles and beautifully colored tropical fish at an arm's length, and our entire family was extremely satisfied.
家族4人での参加だったのですが、台風の影響で中止に。。
がっかりしていたところ内海でのカヤックをご提案いただきました。
当日行くと大勢人が集まっており、イケメンのガイドさんが再度別の場所でのシュノーケリングをご提案。臨機応変にプラン変更していただけ、結果素晴らしいシュノーケリング体験ができました。
対応も非常に丁寧で、初体験の子どもも安心して参加出来ました。
自然相手で、初めての場所、初めての体験を子どもにさせる際、やはり安心安全が最優先となる中でこのような対応をして頂けたのがとても有り難かったです。
シュノーケリングはウミガメや美しい色をした南国の魚が手に取るような距離で一緒に泳ぐことができ、家族全員が大満足でした。

Canoeing was challenging as it was difficult to synchronize our movements, but it was a very enjoyable experience! The Pumpkin Cave was impressive, beautiful, and felt like a very sacred place. Lastly, jumping into the sea from the Pumpkin Cave was an unforgettable memory! Thank you to our guide, Blackbeard from Miyako Island, for the clear explanations and for creating such a fun time!

The day before, I went trekking to Jomon Sugi. The next day, I went to Shiratani Unsuikyo with Mr. Tawaki. I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but he shared many stories about Yakushima, which was very educational. Mr. Tawaki's stamina while talking continuously during the hike was impressive. The lunch was delicious too!
In the afternoon, I tried kayaking for the first time, and I was able to grasp the techniques along the way, which made it really fun. The yomogi mochi and tea we had on the sandy beach were incredibly tasty. I also had the opportunity to try SUP, making it a day filled with satisfaction and excitement. Next time, I want to explore waterfalls, river climbing, and Mount Miyanoura, among other places. Mr. Tawaki taught me all of this...
Thank you very much!
前日に縄文杉トレッキング。翌日に田脇さんと白谷雲水峡。一人参加で少し不安でしたが心ずっと屋久島の色んな話してくれて勉強になりました。登山中ずっとしゃべり続ける田脇さんの心肺能力凄いです。お弁当も美味しかった!
午後からはカヤック初挑戦でしたが、途中からコツもつかめてとっても楽しかったです。砂浜で食べた、よもぎ餅とお茶すごく美味しかったです。SUPも体験させていただき大満足と大感動の1日でした。次回は滝や沢登り宮之浦岳等々まだまだ行きたい所があります。全部田脇さんに教えてもらったのですが…

Aside from the heavy rain, getting wet in the summer felt nice. Since I would end up drenched in sweat anyway, I chose to be soaked from the rain instead.
土砂降り以外、夏は雨に濡れるのも気持ち良かったです。
どうせ汗まみれになるので、汗でビショビショか雨でビショビショか。私は後者を選びました。
Thank you for your review!
Even though it was pouring rain, the forest felt wonderful. The Shiratani in the rain is the best.
The snack we had while kayaking was "Kakaran Dango," a rich mugwort dumpling. It's a specialty from Kagoshima, but the one from Yakushima has a stronger mugwort flavor!
The location by the river made it even more delicious.
Since you love waterfalls, Salla, let's definitely go on a tour of the stunning waterfalls next time!
Thank you very much for this time.
