All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

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！

I participated in the rising canoe and Blue Cave snorkeling tour from the morning. The mangrove canoe experience was honestly mediocre. We were asked to help load the canoes onto a truck and transport them to the river, which felt off since we were paying for the tour. I think the operators need to make some improvements. The person in charge was doing their best and was likable, but the course to see the mangroves was short and lacked any explanations, leaving me completely unsatisfied. Additionally, although it was a sunrise tour, there were hotels built in the spot where the sun rises, so we couldn't see it.

Overall, I cannot recommend the mangrove canoe tour.

Now for my thoughts on the Blue Cave snorkeling tour. The weather was great, making it an amazing experience. On the day of the tour, the water was very clear, and I could see quite deep. I encountered a clownfish and even two sea turtles! I was able to see many beautiful fish as well. I've done snorkeling and diving in various places, but this level of snorkeling is incredible! The guide, Ryotaro, was very pleasant and entertaining. He engaged with all the participants in the car, sharing recommendations for restaurants and interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, which left a good impression. I absolutely recommend this tour! It can be affected by the weather, but if it's sunny, it's the best!

朝からのライジングカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
マングローブカヌーは、正直微妙でした。
川にエントリーするためのカヌーを参加者男性でトラックに乗せて、降ろして川まで運ぶ作業を手伝わされます。
お金を払ってツアー参加してるのに、、
なんだかな、、という感じでした。
運営側の工夫が必要だと思いました。
担当の方は頑張っていて好感を持てました。ただ、マングローブを見るコースは短く解説なども無いため全く物足りないです。またサンライズツアーですが、日が昇る場所にホテルが建っていて上がるところは見られません。
総合的にマングローブカヌーツアーは、私はおススメ出来ません。

ここから青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーの感想です。
天気にも恵まれ最高の体験となりました。
当日は、海の透明度も高くかなり深くまで目視できました。
隠れクマノミにも海亀にも遭遇できました。しかも、海亀は2匹！！
その他にも沢山のお魚が綺麗に見る事ができました。
色々な場所でシュノーケルやダイビングをしてきましたが、シュノーケルでこのレベルは凄いです！
ガイドのリョウタロウさんも大変感じ良く楽しませてくれました。
車中でも参加者皆んなに話しかけ、オススメのお店の紹介や石垣島豆知識を話してくれるなど、楽しませようとする姿勢が好印象でした。
こちらのツアーは、絶対オススメです！
天候にも左右されますが晴れたら最高です。

I was worried about the mangrove canoe tour in the light rain, but it was actually the best!
Even though it was July, it wasn't too hot or too cold, and the river flow was gentle, allowing us to enjoy canoeing very comfortably.
During the bus ride and throughout the tour, our guides Yume and Yumi taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, mangroves, and the creatures that inhabit the area, which was very educational!
Both adults and elementary school children were extremely satisfied.
Thank you! 🥺

小雨の中でのマングローブカヌーツアーで心配していましたが、むしろ最高でした！
７月なのに暑くなく寒くなく、川の流れも穏やかで、とても快適にカヌーを楽しむことができました。
バスの中やツアー中は、ガイドのゆめさんとゆみさんが西表島のこと、マングローブのこと、生息している生き物のこと等色々教えてくれて非常に勉強になりました！
大人はもちろん、小学生の子どもも大満足です。
ありがとうございました🥺

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！

The weather was nice, and I was able to forget about my everyday life and enjoy myself. Everything was new for the children, making it a wonderful experience for them as well. The tour staff from pipi were very kind and cheerful, and I had a great time. Thank you to our guide Shogo and Kenken, who took care of us during the night tour the day before, for the wonderful time!

天気も良く、普段の日常を忘れて楽しめました。
子供たちにとっても全てが初めてのものばかりでとてもいい体験になりました。
pipiのツアースタッフの方もとても親切で明るく、楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
ガイドの省吾さん、前日のナイトツアーでお世話になったケンケンさん、素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

It was a sunny day, but I felt refreshed by the breeze blowing over the surface of the Hija River during this exhilarating tour. Before we started kayaking, we received instructions and training on how to operate the kayak on land, so I was a bit worried about whether I would be able to paddle well. However, once we actually began paddling, I found that even if I was a bit awkward at first, by the end of the two-hour tour, I felt like a kayaking master.

The allure of this tour wasn't just the mangroves and kayaking; thanks to our guide's explanations, we were able to experience the nature of the Hija River by spotting hibiscus flowers along the riverbank, gobies hopping around the tidal flats, and crabs scuttling about. Towards the end of the tour, we were introduced to a rock that had cannonballs still embedded in it, and we learned that the area around the Hija River was scorched during the war, with all the mangroves and trees we see today being less than 80 years old. This made it a tour that also conveyed the intensity of the Battle of Okinawa.

When I shared photos from this tour with our children's family, they expressed a strong desire to participate when they visit Okinawa. I highly recommend this tour!

日差しが強い日でしたが、比謝川の水面を吹く風にすがすがしさを感じる爽快なツアーでした。
カヤックを漕ぎ出す前に陸上でカヤックの操作の説明と訓練をするだけなので、うまく漕げるか漕ぎ出す前は心配でしたが、「習うより慣れろ」で実際に漕ぎ始めると、最初は少々ぎこちなくても2時間のツアーの終わりころにはカヤックマスターの気分で漕いでいました。
マングローブとカヤックだけがこのツアーの魅力ではなく、ガイドさんの説明で川辺のハイビスカスや干潟を跳ねるハゼ、そこを動き回るカニたちを見つけて比謝川の自然を感じることもできるツアーでした。
ツアーの終わり頃、水面に顔を出した岩に今も残る砲弾の紹介を受けたり、戦争の際に比謝川周辺は焼け野原になって今目にするマングローブや木々たちの樹齢はすべて８０年未満だとの説明を受けると、当時の沖縄戦の凄まじさを感じるツアーでもありました。
私たちの子供たちの家族に写真入りでこのツアーを紹介すると沖縄旅行の際にはぜひ参加したいと返事がありました。
このツアーはお勧めですよ。

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

This activity will definitely be a valuable experience! I believe that the quality of the activity largely depends on the guide, and Tetsu, our guide, was a handsome guy with a wonderful smile (though I know that might not mean much coming from an older man). I heard he moved from Osaka, so he understands the feelings of outsiders, but he also had deep knowledge about Miyako Island. He kept the conversation lively on the way from the meeting point to the sea.

Once we got into the water, Tetsu was incredibly reliable. He joined my 8-year-old son and me in the canoe, which made us feel safe as we headed towards the cave. The inside of the cave was truly mystical. The pumpkin-shaped formations were amazing, and the deeper cave could easily be compared to Pamukkale or Huanglong in Miyako Island.

While being guided through the cave, we learned that the interior is a very precious natural formation, and we were able to pay our respects. Since it is such a valuable natural product, there is a possibility that it may eventually become a protected area. However, under the guidance of our guide, I hope that many people can have wonderful experiences while preserving the natural beauty. Thank you, Tetsu!

このアクティビティは間違いなく貴重な体験になると思います！
アクティビティは、内容もさながらガイドの方に依るところが大きいと思うのですが、
ガイドのてっちゃんは、笑顔の素敵なイケメンでした(おっさんに言われてもでしょうけど)
聞けば大阪から移住とのことで、外の人の気持ちもわかってくれながらも、宮古島についても含蓄があり、集合場所から海までの道中もトークで盛り上げてくれました。
海に入ってからのてっちゃんは頼もしいの一言で、
8歳の息子とカヌーに同乗してもらい安心して洞窟に向かいました。
洞窟の中は大変神秘的でした。
パンプキンはもちろんのこと、奥の洞窟は
さしずめ宮古島のパムッカレか黄龍か。
内部は大変貴重な自然の造形だという案内だということをレクチャーしてもらいながら、お詣りさせていただきました。
とても貴重な自然の産物なので、いつかは保護地区ということになってしまう可能性はありますが、ガイドの方の指導の下自然美を保護しながら、
いろんな方が素晴らしい体験をできることを願っています。
てっちゃんありがとう！

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(⌒▽⌒)

This is my second time using Beltora, following Ishigaki. Just like last time, the staff took safety into consideration, allowing me to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, it was a fulfilling experience. The photos sent in the evening became great memories.

石垣に続き2度目のベルトラさんの利用です。
前回同様にスタッフの方々に安全を配慮してもらい、安心してアクティビティを楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメ見れませんでしたが充実した内容でした。当時夕方に送られて来た写真いい思い出になります。

In the morning, I enjoyed a relaxing stand-up paddleboarding session, and in the afternoon, I had a great time snorkeling in the cove. Both activities lasted about one to one and a half hours.

Although I had experience with both, I felt a bit anxious since it had been a while, but I received thorough instructions and was able to enjoy the experience. It was fine not to stand up on the paddleboard (I mostly sat), and if I felt uneasy while snorkeling, I could hold onto a float, so I think even beginners can enjoy it with confidence. The guides were very friendly and engaged in conversation, making the experience even more enjoyable.

午前中はのんびりSUP、午後は入江でシュノーケリングと1日ちょうどよく楽しめました。どちらも1時間〜1時間半ぐらいです。
どちらも経験はありましたが久しぶりだったので少し不安でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーを受け楽しく体験することができました。
SUPは無理に立たなくても大丈夫でしたし（私はほぼ座っていました）、シュノーケリングも不安ならフロートに捕まっていても問題なかったので、初めてでも安心して楽しめると思います。ガイドのみなさんもたくさん話しかけてくれるので楽しく会話しながら体験することができました。

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！

I was really looking forward to the cave tour! The stories from the handsome guide and the train were fun and educational, and the canoeing and cave exploration flew by in no time!

I felt a sense of history while being excited in the cave!

It was a very enjoyable experience and a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

とっても楽しみにしていた鍾乳洞ツアー！
イケメンのお兄さんとてっちゃんのお話が楽しい＆勉強になって、道中.カヌー.鍾乳洞、あっという間に終わりました！

鍾乳洞はワクワクしながら歴史を感じられました！

とても楽しくて素敵な思い出になりました(*^^*)
ありがとうございました！

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！

On our first trip to Miyako Island, we participated in a snorkeling tour as a couple. The sea at Shiraga Beach was incredibly clear, and we saw sea turtles and clownfish right in front of us! The guide was also very attentive, making us feel safe and allowing us to enjoy the experience. After the tour, we received beautiful photos as a gift, creating the best memories. I highly recommend it for beginners too!

初めての宮古島旅行でカップルでシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。シラガビーチの海は驚くほど透明で、ウミガメやクマノミがすぐ目の前に！ガイドさんも丁寧で安心して楽しめました。ツアー後には素敵な写真もプレゼントしてもらえて、最高の思い出になりました。初心者にもおすすめです！

In the early morning, the only sounds were the paddling of the SUP and the chirping of birds, making it a quiet and very nice experience! Unfortunately, the sunrise was obscured by clouds, but the morning air was clear and refreshing. At the end of June, Ishigaki is very hot, but this tour was in the early morning, so it was cool and there was no worry about sunburn!

早朝で音はSUPを漕ぐ音と鳥の鳴き声くらいしかなく、静かでとてもいい経験でした！
残念ながら日の出は雲がかかって見えなかったですが早朝の空気が澄んでて気持ちよかったです。
6月末の石垣はとっても暑いですが、このツアーは早朝だったので涼しく日焼けの心配もなかったです！

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。

I have been to Ishigaki Island several times, but it was my first time visiting the Blue Cave!

After passing through a jungle surrounded by trees, a space like a private beach opened up, and we entered the sea from there.

We went out to the open sea through a trench, which was also quite interesting. I even got to see clownfish! 🐟

Just floating around is fun, so I recommend it even for beginners!

石垣島には何度か来たことがありましたが、青の洞窟は初めてでした！

木々に囲まれたジャングルを抜けるとプライベートビーチのような空間が広がっており、そこから海に入りました。

海溝を抜けて沖に出るんですが、その海溝がまた面白かったです。
クマノミにも会えました🐟

ただぼーーっと浮かんでいるだけでも楽しいので、初心者の方でもおすすめです！

It was quite empty during the first group on a weekday morning. I was very satisfied with the tour guide who taught us very politely. Thank you very much!

平日の朝一の組で、割と空いていました。とても丁寧に教えてもらいながら、ツアーガイドしてもらえて、大満足でした、ありがとうございました

Inside the cave, I was amazed by the depth after climbing the pumpkin 🎃. The stone columns, which have been formed and continue to grow from groundwater for thousands of years, were magnificent. The kayaking back and forth was surprisingly easy and fun! The instructor (Rei) provided clear and thorough explanations, allowing us to enjoy a memorable time with peace of mind. Thank you!

洞窟内、パンプキン🎃に登ってからの奥行の深さに驚いた。何万年も前から、そして今も地下水で作られ続けて成長してる石柱は見事でした。行き帰りのカヤックも意外と簡単に乗れて楽しかった！
インストラクター(レイ君)の説明は丁寧でわかりやすく、安心して思い出深い時間を過ごせました。感謝！

It was my first snorkeling experience, and the safety measures were excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable, which made me feel secure participating in the tour! The fish and scenery were all amazing, and I would love to join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

初シュノーケリングでしたが、安全対策もバッチリでガイドさんの知識も豊富で安心してツアーに参加することができました！
魚、景色全てが最高でまた石垣島に来た時には参加したいと思います！！

I couldn't participate when I visited Miyako Island the year before last, but I was able to experience it after two years. It's a miracle that such a limestone cave exists, and I felt the fusion of nature and faith as it is believed to be a place where gods reside. Thanks to our guide, Soma, it became an even more enjoyable memory.

一昨年に宮古島に来た時は参加できず、2年越しで体験出来ました。
こんな鍾乳洞が出来ることも奇跡だし、それを神が宿る場所として信仰すると言う、
大自然と信仰の融合を感じることが出来ました。
ガイドのそーまっする君のおかげでより楽しい思い出になりました。

The kayaking time was just right for both the outbound and return trip. I knew we were aiming for the waterfall and its basin, but it turned out to be quite a challenging mountain climb—"rock climbing?!" We took breaks along the way, and with the guidance provided, even a middle-aged couple like us could keep up. I was amazed by the knowledge of our tour guide, Mr. Ishitaba! We had a great time hearing so much about Iriomote Island, its flora and fauna, and insects. I’m looking forward to participating in a different tour next time.

カヤックタイムは往復ともちょうどいい感じでした
滝上滝壺目指すのはわかっていたけどなかなかハードな山登り〝岩登り⁉️〟
途中休憩しつつ手取り足取り御指南いただいたので中年夫婦でもついていけました
ツアーガイドの五十畑さんの博識に驚き‼️西表島のこと、動植物・虫のこと、たくさんお話が聞けて楽しい時間が過ごせました
次は違うツアーにも参加してみたいと思ってます

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

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！

The first half of the sea turtle snorkeling was quite disappointing as we had to enter from the beach and didn't see any turtles, but the second half, the Pumpkin Cave tour, was an amazing experience in a mystical space that you can't find on a regular trip. There were significant time changes due to the tides, and I thought I might have made a mistake in choosing this tour, but in the end, it was a great success! During the cave tour, our guide, Soma, shared some fun facts about Miyako Island that had us saying "wow" repeatedly. Thank you very much! If I have the opportunity to come back to Miyako Island, I look forward to it!

前半のウミガメシュノーケリングは、まさかのビーチエントリー&ウミガメ見れずでかなりがっかりしてしまいましたが、後半のパンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーの方は普通の旅行では体験できないような神秘的な空間に感動しきりでした。
潮の関係でかなり大幅な時間の変更等もあり、こりゃ選択したツアー失敗かな？と思ってしまいましたが、結果ツアーの選択大成功でした！
後半の鍾乳洞ツアーでうちのチームを先導してくれた、「そーまっする」さんの宮古島小ネタにも、「へー」の連続でした。
ありがとうございました！
また、宮古島に来る機会があればよろしくお願いいたします！

Snorkeling was amazing, especially with the selection of the best spots. Our guide was "Abe-chan." He explained everything in both English and Japanese, being very attentive to both foreigners and Japanese people like me. He is the best tour conductor. When I visit again, I will go with "Abe-chan"!

シュノーケリングは、ベストスポットを選択していただき凄いかったですー。
担当は『あべちゃん』でした。
彼は外国の方にも日本人にも僕にも😄、丁寧に英語や日本語で説明してくれて、ベストツアーコンダクターです。
また、訪れる時には『あべちゃん』で行きます！
