All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

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。
5歳の娘はお昼寝のタイミングを逃してしまいぐずってしまいましたが、嫌な顔１つせずうまく応対してくださり、助かりました！ありがとうございました。

I participated with my wife and two children. It was tough due to strong winds and rain, but we were able to see a bat for a moment, and it was a lot of fun! Next time, I want to join when the moon is dark to see the Milky Way!

妻と子供２人で参加
強風&雨で大変でしたがコウモリも一瞬見られてとても楽しかったです✨次回は月が暗い時に参加して天の川を観たいと思います！

I participated in marine activities during my first trip to Miyako Island, and it was truly amazing! The Pumpkin Cave was mystical and moving. I was also very happy to meet a sea turtle! The guide was a very kind and cheerful young man, which made it easy for us beginners to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind!

初めての宮古島旅行でマリンアクティビティに参加しましたが、本当に最高でした！
パンプキン鍾乳洞は神秘的で感動。ウミガメにも会えてとても嬉しかったです！
ガイドの方はとても親切&爽やか笑顔のお兄さんで、初心者の私たちでも安心して楽しめました！

I went on a tour with Yufu Island and kayaking! Yufu Island had more attractions than I expected, and there were many photo spots to enjoy! I learned a lot about the mangroves while kayaking! It was fun even when the waves splashed! I'm glad I could have an experience that was typical of Iriomote Island!

由布島とカヤックのツアーにしました！
由布島が思ったよりも見どころがあって、写真スポットも多くて楽しめました！
カヤックはマングローブについてたくさん知ることができました！
波がかかったりするのも楽しかったです！
西表島らしい体験ができてよかったです！

I participated with my 2-3 year old child. Since the adults who joined were all women, when we started, we struggled to move the kayak forward. In the end, the guide kindly tied our two kayaks together and pulled us along! (laughs) I'm really grateful for their efforts. The sunset was beautiful, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much! ♪

2,3歳の子連れで参加しました。参加した大人は女性だったので、いざ開始すると頑張ってもカヤックが進まず、最終的にはガイドさんが私たち2艘を紐で繋いで引っ張ってくださりました！(笑)
よく頑張ってくださって感謝です。夕日も美しく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♪

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😃
スタッフの方も親切で対応も良かったです。

I had a great experience on the tour, guided by a muscular former firefighter named Yamato, which made me feel at ease! He shared stories about the limestone caves, and we had a mystical experience canoeing. We also got to experience a very cold, refreshing natural underground water pool deep inside the caves❄. I was able to see sea turtles, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun and amazing trip! Thank you very much!

大和さんという元消防士のムキムキお兄さんがガイドをしてくれ安心してツアーに望むことができました!鍾乳洞の言い伝えなど教えてくれた上での、カヌーでのパンプキン神秘的体験！鍾乳洞の奥にとても冷たくてキンキンに冷えた天然地下水プールも体験できました❄
ウミガメ見れてとても楽しく最高の旅になりました！ありがとうございました

I had a tour with Aika, Riki, and Hinata for stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, snorkeling, and a night tour. They provided thorough lectures and shared their knowledge about Miyako Island, allowing me to learn more about the island and enjoy my experience. Thank you very much.

サップ、カヌーとシュノーケリング、ナイトツアーをあいかさん、りきさんひなたさんにツアーしてもらいました。丁寧なレクチャーや宮古島についての知識を教えてもらい、宮古島について詳しく知って楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。

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。
また参加したいです。

It was an extraordinary experience beyond my imagination, and it became a great summer vacation memory. I don't think you can have such an experience anywhere else but in Okinawa.

想像以上の非日常体験ができて、良い夏休みの思い出になりました。沖縄以外ではなかなか体験出来ないと思います。

The explanations were easy to understand and kind, and the store was clean, which was great! It was hot, so I got tired, but the staff helped me out by guiding me!

説明もわかりやすく親切で店内も綺麗でよかったです^_^暑かったので疲れてしまいましたが店員さんが引っ張ってくれたので助かりました！

The cave tour in the afternoon was canceled due to slightly rough sea conditions, but thanks to the somewhat amusing talk and guidance from the handsome Osaka local, Tecchan, we were able to see sea turtles and take photos. I understand that making safety decisions in such harsh natural environments can be challenging, but we were very satisfied.

少し荒れた海の状態で、午後からの鍾乳洞はキャンセルとなりましたが、イケメン大阪人てっちゃんの、ちょっと微妙に面白いトークと案内のおかげで、海亀に会えましたし、写真も撮れました。厳しい自然環境の中で、安全面の判断で大変かと思いますが、こちらは大満足でした。

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.

本日は台風の影響でウミガメシュノーケリング🤿のみに変更になりました。彼女も泳ぎがあまり得意ではない為、行うまではとても心配でしたが、ガイドのりきさんが優しく引っ張ってくれてとても安心できました。海中での動き方などを事前に丁寧に説明してくれるだけでなく、実際に見た生き物について詳しく教えてくれるところがとても良かったです。写真や動画を上手に撮って下さるので、付き合っている方や家族の人におすすめです。

Although my plans were slightly disrupted due to a canceled flight, I made my first visit to Iriomote Island. Since I was in Iriomote, I thought I should go on an adventure and decided to try canoeing. Fortunately, the weather improved. I was a bit anxious because I had children with me, but thanks to J's explanations, guidance, and assistance, it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The kids seemed to have made great memories and want to go again tomorrow! Thank you for the great experience!

欠航で少し予定は狂ったものの、西表島に初上陸。西表に来たからにはアドベンチャーをと思い、カヌーを体験。幸い天気は回復。子供もいたため不安でしたが、Jさんの解説、引率、助力により、とてもいい経験になりました。子供は明日も行きたいととてもいい思い出になったようです！
いい経験をありがとうございました！

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。

I rode a kayak for about an hour up a river filled with the unique trees of Okinawa. Slowly navigating the murky Hija River was a truly valuable experience. Thank you!

カヤックに乗って1時間くらい沖縄特有の木々が生い茂る川をのぼりました。濁りのある比謝川をゆっくり進むのはとても貴重な体験でした。ありがとうございました！

Despite the bad weather, we were able to swim with the turtles as planned while ensuring safety! Both the staff and Leon were kind, and my son had a great time. Thank you very much!

天候悪い中で安全性に考慮頂きながら、目的だったカメともしっかり泳ぐことができました！そうまっするも、レオンさんも優しく息子も楽しんでました。ありがとうございました！

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。

宮古に来た時には参加必須です。次回もまた参加したいと思います。

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 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。

We kayaked to the Pumpkin Cave and entered from the sea. I was moved by the scenery I saw for the first time. The person in charge, known as "Hige Danshaku of Miyako Island," was kind and talked with us, making for a really enjoyable time. Thank you very much.

カヤックでパンプキン鍾乳洞に向かい、海から入りました。
初めてみる景色で感動しました。
「宮古島の髭男爵」って言う担当の方が親切で色々話もしてくれて凄く楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

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!

カヌーでの移動は息を合わせて進むのが難しかったですが、とても楽しい経験でした！
パンプキン鍾乳洞も迫力があり、綺麗でとても神聖な場所だなと感じました。最後にパンプキン鍾乳洞から海に飛び込むのも最高な思い出です♪
宮古島の黒ひげ？ガイドさんもわかりやすい説明でとても楽しい時間を作ってくれてありがとうございました！！

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…
ありがとうございました！

Due to the approaching typhoon, we couldn't go snorkeling, but we enjoyed the canoe experience! While canoeing, the staff was nearby, providing advice on paddling and assisting us when getting on and off the canoe, so I think even beginners can feel at ease. During our travels, they also recommended great places, and we had a wonderful time! I hope the weather will be nice enough for snorkeling next time..☆

台風が近付いていたため、シュノーケルはできず
カヌー体験のみでしたが楽しめました！
カヌーしている際もスタッフの方が近くで見てくれて
漕ぎ方のアドバイスや
カヌーに乗る時や降りるときも手助けしてくださるので
初心者の方でも安心してできると思います(^^)
移動中もおすすめのお店など教えていただき
楽しい時間を過ごせました！
次はシュノーケルも出来る天気になりますように・・☆

As the title suggests, we were a large group of 11 people from 4 families, with a wide range of ages. Despite the strong winds that caused the cancellation of sea activities, we made a last-minute reservation the day before, and the staff handled everything with great care. Everyone who participated had a truly satisfying time. While Okinawa is known for its sea activities, the river experience was wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone!

タイトル通り、家族4世帯11人という年齢幅も人数もかなり大きなグループでした。
あまりに風が強くて海のアクティビティが中止となったなった中での急な前日予約でしたが、丁寧に対応して頂き、参加した全員が本当に大満足の時間となりました。
沖縄は海のアクティビティが注目されますが、川の体験、どなたにもお勧めできる素敵なものでした！

Despite the strong winds caused by the typhoon, my experience was amazing from start to finish thanks to our guide, Abe-chan! Since it was high tide, we were also guided to the hard course, allowing us to have a unique experience that can only be done here. On the way back, Abe-chan spotted a "crowned eagle" and created an opportunity for the tour participants to observe it, making it an incredible experience all around! Next time I visit Iriomote Island, I want to challenge myself with a SUP tour here.

台風の影響で風が強い中の参加でしたが、担当のあべちゃん（担当者さん）のおかげで最初から最後まで最高でした！ちょうど満潮とのこともあり、ハードコースにも案内してくれてここでしかできない貴重な体験をすることができました。また、帰りの車であべちゃんが「カンムリワシ」を見つけてくれ、ツアー参加者と見学する機会も作ってくれて何から何まで最高の体験ができました！
今度西表島へ行った際は、ここのツアーでサップにチャレンジしたいと思います。

The guide's stories were enjoyable, and it was fun to spot distant birds together. Since we chose the early morning tour, there were no lines for the canoe, and we were able to experience the chirping of the birds and the grandeur of nature. We encountered kingfishers and white-tailed eagles, making the 90 minutes fly by.

ガイドさんのお話しも楽しく
遠くの鳥を見つけて教えてくれたり楽しかったです
早朝のツアーを選んだためカヌーの行列も無く
鳥たちのさえずりや壮大な自然を感じながら
カワセミやオジロワシなどにも出会えあっという間の90分でした

At that time, I didn't go to Lake Shikotsu because the wind was strong, but I experienced canoeing on the river. The river was very beautiful, and paddling on the water was a fun summer activity. On the day, we had a canoe experience with several groups led by one instructor, but since I was in a young group, the pace was fast. Instead of enjoying my first canoeing experience, there were several moments where I was desperately paddling to keep up. I know it's partly my lack of stamina, but I would prefer if we could go at a more moderate pace instead of matching the faster ones. Alternatively, if young people could be grouped together, I think it would have made for the best summer memory.

当時は風邪が強く支笏湖には行きませんでしたけど、川の方でカヌーを体験しました。
川はとても綺麗で、水の上をカヌーで進むのは夏のアクティビティでは楽しかったです。
当日はインストラクター1人に何組かでカヌー体験をしたんですが、若いグループに入ったので進むペースが早く、はじめてのカヌーを楽しむというより、置いていかれないように必死に漕ぐ場面が何度かありました。
体力がない私も悪いのですが、ペースが早い人に合わせるのではなくて、中間くらいのペースでお願いしたいです。
それか、若い人は同じグループにするかをして下されば、夏の最高の思い出になったと思います。
