All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

It was my first time doing SUP, and the guide was very attentive, making it a lot of fun. I will definitely use this service again when I go to Iriomote. They also took many photos, which became great memories.

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドの方の案内も丁寧ですごく楽しかったです。また西表に行った際は必ず利用します。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり思い出になりました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the rain, but exploring the mangroves on a SUP was a very enjoyable experience. We came on our honeymoon, and our guide was thoughtful enough to take some precious photos and videos for us. I want to try SUP back home; I can't wait to experience it again soon!

あいにくの雨でサンセットを見ることができなかったのですが、マングローブを探検するサップもとても楽しめる体験でした。
ハネムーンできたのですがガイドさんに気を利かせていただき、貴重な写真や動画を撮ってもらうこともできました。
地元でもサップをやりたいくらい、またすぐにでも体験してみたいです！

Initially, I was a bit anxious because there were strong winds and rain like a typhoon from early morning on the day of my participation, but I was able to join the snorkeling, which is less affected by the weather. In April, Okinawa has already opened its beaches, but due to the weather, it was cold before and after entering the sea. However, since they lent me a wetsuit, it wasn't too bad while I was in the water! The snorkeling took place at Shigira Beach, where the water was shallow and the waves were calm. It was my first time snorkeling, and since it had been a while since I last went to the sea, I struggled at first to get the hang of breathing (to be honest, I thought about giving up), but within a few minutes, I was able to enjoy looking around underwater. I was also wearing a life jacket, so I felt safe as long as I didn't thrash around too much. It was my first time visiting Miyako Island and Okinawa, and I was surprised to see corals and colorful fish even close to the shore. Thanks to the guide, I was very happy to encounter a sea turtle and a clownfish! The guide taught us about Okinawan fish (the Oya-biccha left a strong impression) and adjusted the pace for each person, which made my first snorkeling experience enjoyable and reassuring. We also took commemorative photos before entering the water, and they captured moments of us swimming and with the sea turtle. However, since I had to wear a life jacket and stay on the surface, it seems quite difficult to get the best shot with the sea turtle on the seabed unless you're really lucky!

As for the SUP, I was able to switch to an early morning slot the next day. The location was at Ingyamarine Garden, a bit further east from the previous day, in a calm bay. Meeting at 6 AM was quite challenging, but it was refreshing to slowly paddle along the quiet sea while watching the sunrise. I don't usually have a habit of exercising, but it was an activity that even beginners could enjoy enough to stand and paddle. We also took a lot of photos.

当初の参加日は明け方から台風みたいな強風と雨だったので少し不安でしたが、その日は天候に左右されにくいシュノーケリングだけ参加させてもらいました。4月の沖縄は既に海開きしていますが、天候が天候なので海に入る前と後は寒かったです。ただウェットスーツをお貸しいただけたので海に入っている間はそうでもなかったです！シュノーケリングはシギラビーチで行いました。遠浅の海で波も穏やかでした。シュノーケリングは初めてで、久々の海ということもあり、最初は呼吸のコツを掴むのに苦戦しましたが（正直リタイアしようかと思いました）、数分もすれば海の中を眺めるのを楽しめるようになりました。ライフジャケットも着ていたので、よほど暴れない限り溺れることもなく安心だったと思います。宮古島はおろか沖縄に来たのも初めてでしたが、陸に近いところでもサンゴや色鮮やかな魚が見られて驚きでした。ガイドの方が見つけてくれたおかげで、ウミガメとクマノミにも会えてとても嬉しかったです！ガイドの方は沖縄の魚（オヤビッチャというのが印象に残りました）について教えてくれたり、一人一人のペースを見ながら進行してくださったので、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが安心して楽しめました。写真も海に入る前に記念撮影をし、泳いでいるところ、ウミガメと一緒のところも撮ってもらいました。ただどうしてもライフジャケットを着て水面にいるので、海底にいるウミガメとベストショットを撮るのはよほど運が良くないと難しそうです…！

SUPの方は翌日早朝の枠が空いているということでそちらに移らせてもらいました。場所は前日からもう少し東に行ったインギャーマリンガーデンで、入り江になっている穏やかな海でした。朝6時集合でなかなか大変でしたが…日の出を見ながら静かな海をゆっくり進んでいくのは爽やかな気持ちでした。普段運動の習慣はありませんが、それでも立って漕げるくらいには初心者でも楽しめるアクティビティでした。写真もいっぱい撮ってもらいました。

The only disappointment was that it was cloudy, but the sun came out at the end; the weather can't be helped.
It was my first time paddleboarding, and I was a bit anxious, but they provided a thorough explanation of how to paddle and stand, so I was able to keep up without falling in.
It was fun to pass through the mangroves, even while struggling a bit.
Thank you, Tomo!

曇りだったのだけが残念、最後に太陽が出てきたけど、天気はしかたないですね。
SUPは初めてでちょっと不安でしたが、漕ぎ方立ち方の説明もきちんとしてくださったので、落水せず最後までついていけました。
つっかえながらでもマングローブの下を通り抜けられて楽しかったです。
トモさんありがとうございました。

Encountered a sea turtle during my first snorkeling experience.
The mystical Pumpkin Cave was a highlight.
I thoroughly enjoyed it thanks to the staff's attentive guidance.

シュノーケリング初体験でウミガメ遭遇
神秘的なパンプキン鍾乳洞
スタッフの丁寧なガイドにより満喫できました

It was a wonderful experience!
The course allowed us to fully enjoy the rich nature of Miyako Island, and thanks to the guide's thorough explanations and kind support, we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
I was particularly moved by the beauty of nature that we don't usually get to see.
It was a tour that helped me rediscover the charm of Miyako Island.
I definitely want to participate again next time!

とても素晴らしい体験でした！
宮古島の豊かな自然を満喫できるコースで、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明と親切な対応のおかげで、安心して楽しめました。
特に、普段は見られない自然の美しさに感動しました。
宮古島の魅力を再発見できたツアーです。
次回もぜひ参加したいと思います！

The Pumpkin Cave was impressive. It was great to see the cave up close, and the guide's explanations were fun and interesting. During snorkeling, I saw three sea turtles and witnessed them surfacing for air for the first time. The day flew by, and it turned out to be a wonderful day. I would like to do this again.

パンプキン鍾乳洞は感動。間近で鍾乳洞を見られガイドさんの説明も楽しく興味深い話しで良かったです。
シュノーケルは、ウミガメも3匹も見られ、ウミガメの息つぎ、初めて見ました。
あっという間に一日が過ぎて楽しい一日になりました
またお願いしたいと思います

The weather was clear and in perfect condition! I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and the mysterious caves. The guide was considerate of everyone's pace, so I felt comfortable throughout the tour. Additionally, I learned about the history of Miyako Island and how the caves were formed, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

晴れていて最高のコンディションでした！
綺麗な海と神秘的な鍾乳洞を隅々まで堪能できました。
ガイドさんは、みんなのペースを考えてくださるので、安心してツアーをまわれました。また、宮古島の歴史や洞窟がどのようにできたのかを教えていただけて、さらに楽しむことができました。

I participated with five male friends!
Kayaking, pumpkin cave, snorkeling—everything was amazing!
Our guide, Yuuri, was also kind and fantastic!

男友達５人で参加しました！
カヤック🚣‍♂️パンプキン鍾乳洞🎃シュノーケリング🤿
全てが最高でした😊
ガイドのゆうり君も親切で最高でした👍

It was great that they sent photos on the spot, allowing me to focus on the experience without using my smartphone. I was able to see many blue fish, including Nemo! The weather was a bit bad, but it turned out to be a fun time. The guides operated smoothly and efficiently, which gave me a lot of reassurance.

ドローン撮影などその場で写真を送っていただけるので、体験中は自分のスマホを使うことなく体験に集中できるのが良かったです。ニモや他にも青い魚をたくさん見ることができました！少し天気は悪かったですが、楽しい時間になりました。ガイドさんたちがしっかりスムーズに運営していてとても安心感がありました。

I experienced this with my 59-year-old mother, who was right at the age limit. Although she felt anxious, she didn't want to miss this opportunity, and in the end, she was extremely satisfied! I'm also very happy that I could create such wonderful memories with my mother!

The guides who assisted us were undeniably handsome (laughs), and they kindly said, "Take your time, just enjoy it safely!" They reached out to us with warmth. Even without us expressing our requests, they took numerous photos, diving back in to capture the moments, which was truly moving!

There were three groups participating in the tour, but they made an effort to engage with each person, which gave the impression that they genuinely cared about everyone.

Tetsu-chan! Yamato-kun! Thank you so much!!

59歳（年齢制限ギリギリ）の母と体験しました。
不安だけどこのチャンスを逃したくないという思いを抱えながらの参加だったようですが、結果的に大満足！とのことです。
私も、母とこんなにも素敵な思い出を作ることが出来て嬉しいです！
案内をしてくださったお兄様たちは自他共に認めるイケメンで（笑）、「ゆっくりでいいですよ、安全に楽しくです！」と優しく手を差し伸べてくれました。
こちらが要望を伝えなくても、写真を何枚も何枚も潜り直して撮ってくれて、感動しました！
ツアー参加者は3組でしたが、一人ひとりに声をかけるなど、みんなのことを気にかけてくれてるなという印象でした。
てっちゃん！やまとくん！本当にありがとうございました！！

I participated in snorkeling at Barasu Island and sightseeing at Yufu Island. Although I joined alone, I was well taken care of by the guide Shotaro and the other participants, and I had a wonderful time, feeling very grateful. The coral reefs at Barasu Island were truly amazing and left me in awe. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a relaxing tour of Yufu Island, where I was taken around by the water buffalo Yuka and Kotaro. It became the best memory of Iriomote Island for me.

バラス島シュノーケリング➕由布島観光に参加しました🏝️
1人での参加でしたが、ガイドのしょうたろうさんや、参加者の皆さんに気遣っていただきとても楽しく過ごすことができて、感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです🥰
バラス島のサンゴ礁は本当に素晴らしく、感動しました🪸
お昼からは、まったり由布島観光🌺水牛のゆうかちゃんと、こたろうくんに連れて行ってもらいましたよ🐃
西表島の最高の思い出となりました😊

In the morning, I experienced canoeing, and the weather was really nice that day with no wind, making it a great environment to enjoy! Our guide, Kai, provided clear and thorough explanations, and the photos he took were all wonderful, creating great memories for me.

In the afternoon, I participated in a snorkeling tour to see sea turtles. The water was a bit cold, but I gradually got used to it. Even though I felt a little anxious about swimming, our guide, Mayu, held a float and led us, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. Luckily, that day I got to see a sea turtle breathing at the surface, and Mayu took photos of me with the turtle and fish underwater, so even though it was a short time, it was a very precious experience.

Both activities were my first experiences, and I had a really fun time. Thank you very much! I want to brag about it to my friends when I get back from the trip!

午前中はカヌーを体験しましたが、当日はとってもお天気が良く、風もなかったため、とても良い環境で楽しめました！
ガイドの甲斐さんの説明も丁寧でわかりやすく、撮影していただいたお写真も素敵なお写真ばかりで、とっても良い思い出になりました(^^)

午後はウミガメを見るシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。水は少し冷たかったですが、だんだん慣れてきて、泳ぐのが少し不安でもガイドのマユちゃんが浮き輪を持ってリードしてくれるので、安心して参加することが出来ました。
この日はラッキーなことに水面でウミガメが呼吸するところを見れたり、マユちゃんが水中でウミガメやお魚と一緒に写真を撮ってくれたりしたので、短時間でしたが、とても貴重な体験が出来ました。

今回どちらも初めての体験でしたが、とっても楽しく過ごさせていただき、どうもありがとうございました！！
旅行から帰ったら周りに自慢したいと思います(^^)

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and it became a wonderful memory! I took a lot of photos, and Kai was very easy to talk to and made it fun! I also got to see sea turtles up close. Thank you very much!

初めての宮古島だったのでとてもいい思い出になりました！
たくさん写真も撮ってくれて甲斐さんがとても話しやすくて楽しかったです！
ウミガメも近くで見れました♪
ありがとうございました！

What should I do in Miyako Island? I want to try some activities, so I signed up!

The guides, Go and Fu, were surprisingly good at storytelling and wonderful! We laughed a lot♡

Kayaking was a blast, and exploring the limestone caves was a sacred and mystical experience, so I approached it with respect 🙏

During snorkeling, I encountered colorful fish and sea turtles, making it a fun day!

Thank you, Go and Fu 😊

宮古島で何しようかな？アクティビティとかやってみたいな〜〜〜ということで申し込みました！

ガイドのゴウさんとフウちゃんの案外がお話上手で素晴らしかったです！
たくさん笑いました♡

カヤックを爆漕ぎするの楽しかったし、鍾乳洞の探検は神聖で神秘的な場所なので、敬意を持って参拝しました🙏

シュノーケリングでは色鮮やかな魚やウミガメとの出会いもあり、楽しい一日になりました！

ゴウさん＆フウちゃんありがとうございました😊

This time, I went to the Pumpkin Cave on a tour with Shabi. 🙆‍♂️

Overwhelmed by the scenery on the way to the beach, we started with a pleasant paddle on the sea to the spot. 🤟

Inside the cave, there were small fish swimming, and I felt a cleansing connection to nature.

The stalactites formed over many years, the large spring water flowing like a waterfall, the cave pearls, and the impressive giant pumpkin were all breathtaking.

Experiencing it in person was completely different from watching it in videos; I was truly moved.

The sound of jumping echoed throughout the cave, and I was able to feel nature with all my senses, making for a fulfilling day from early morning!

Thank you again! Carrying the boat back required a bit of stamina, though. 😂

今回シャビさんのツアーでパンプキン鍾乳洞へ🙆‍♂️

ビーチにたどり着くまでの景色に圧倒されながら、
カヌーを漕いでスポットまで心地よい海上の散歩からスタート🤟

洞窟内には小さなお魚も泳いでいて自然を体で感じられ心が洗われる感じがしました笑

長い年月をかけて出来た鍾乳洞や、滝のように流れる大量の湧水、洞窟真珠、圧巻の巨大パンプキン

動画で観るのとは全然違い、実際に体験してみると本当に感無量でした。。。

飛び込んだ音が洞窟内に響き渡ったり、すべての五感で自然を感じられ早朝から充実した1日になりました！

またよろしくお願いします！！
帰りのボートを運ぶのはちょっと体力が必要でした笑笑

I participated with my middle school son. We had a lot of fun kayaking. The explanations were easy to understand and interesting. The sunset was also very beautiful. I would like to try it again if I have the opportunity.

中学生の息子と参加しました。
とても楽しくカヤックができました。説明も分かりやすく面白かったです。サンセットもとても綺麗でした。また機会があればやってみたいです。

You can experience an extraordinary ocean adventure! The Pumpkin Cave was mystical 🌟 It's definitely the perfect place to relieve everyday stress ✨

非日常の海の体験ができます！パンプキン鍾乳洞は神秘的だった🌟日頃のストレスを発散するには間違いなしの場所です✨

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

It was my first time experiencing mangroves, and it felt strangely different from Japan. The narrow paths winding through the mangroves were very thrilling and exciting.

初めてのマングローブでしたが、日本ではないような不思議な感覚になりました。
マングローブの間を抜ける狭い道はとてもスリリングでワクワクするものでした。

We experienced canoeing and trekking in a nature-rich environment that we wouldn't normally encounter! My child, who is four years old, had a great time. We discovered a lizard along the way, and it seemed like there were things only a child could notice, which surprised us. At the trekking destination, we were able to jump into a waterfall pool, and I found myself getting excited and jumping in multiple times.

The guide shared stories about various animals and plants, and my son asked a lot of questions, allowing us to learn many things and have fun. If we have the chance again, I would love to request the same guide!

自然豊かで普段体験できないカヌーとトレッキングをしました！子供は４歳でしたがかなり楽しんでいました。途中でトカゲを発見したり、子供だからこそ気付けるものがあるみたいで、驚かされました。またトレッキングのゴール場所では滝壺に飛びこめてたりして、ついつい大人の自分自身がはしゃいで何度も飛び込みました。
ガイドさんがいろんな動物や植物のお話してくださり、息子もたくさん質問したりして、たくさんのことを知ることができて楽しかったです。
次の機会があればまた同じガイドさんに頼みたいです！！

I strained my ligament first thing in the morning and could barely walk, but I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much for all your help. I would like to join again in a different season. Thank you!

朝イチで靭帯を伸ばしてしまい歩くのもやっとでしたが参加してほんとに良かったです。
大変お世話になりました。
まだ違う季節にも参加したいです。
有難うございました。

Due to age restrictions on snorkeling and diving tours, I opted for the clear kayak experience. While it wasn't ideal for observing fish, I was able to participate in activities at a beautiful location (Ingyamarine Garden) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

An instructor was assigned to our group, and they took many photos for us. Additionally, there was drone video recording, which is usually hard to prepare for on your own, and after the tour, they sent the photos and drone footage to my iPhone. The drone footage of me was amazing! It became the best memory and souvenir. Thank you very much.

シュノーケリングツアーやダイビングツアーは年齢制限がある為、クリアカヤック体験にしました。魚の観察には不向きですが、きれいな場所（インギャーマリンガーデン）でのアクティビティーに参加できて満喫できました。
一組にインストラクターが一人ついて下さり、写真を沢山撮ってくださいました。更に、個人では準備しにくいドローンでのビデオ撮影もあり、ツアー終了後には写真とドローンでの撮影映像をiPhoneに送ってくださいました。自分が写っているドローン映像はアメイジング！、最高の思い出＆おみやげになりました。ありがとうございました。

On the only day with a forecast for clear weather during our stay of continuous rain, I made a reservation for an activity that would be okay to do even if it rained. Unfortunately, it started to rain at the beginning, and I thought we would get soaked, but the rain stopped midway, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. I participated with my foreign husband, and he enjoyed paddling the kayak.

Having experienced the mangroves in Iriomote Island, I couldn't help but compare, and I wished for a bit more of the wild and adventurous feeling. It's an easy activity, so it might be good for families with children or for those who want to do a little activity. Also, I heard that someone had dropped their smartphone a few days prior, so I was scared of dropping mine and didn't bring it, which made me wish I could have taken more photos.

雨続きの中の滞在で唯一の晴れ予報の日に、万が一濡れても良いアクティビティをと思い、予約しました。残念ながら、始まりの時に雨が降り始め、びしょ濡れになるかと思いきや、途中で雨はやみ、楽しむことができました。外国人の夫と参加しましたが、彼はカヤックを漕ぐことを楽しんでました。
西表島のマングローブを経験したことがあったので、どうしても比べてしまい、野生感とアドベンチャー感をもう少し味わいたかったです。お手軽なので、お子様連れや少しアクティビティをしたい人には良いかもしれません。あと、スマホを数日前に落とした人がいたと聞いたため、落とすのが怖くて持参しなかったため、もう少し多く写真を撮ってもえたらうれしかったです。

I was attended to by a super handsome person with both looks and a kind heart! A trainee also accompanied us and kindly supported us when we faced difficulties.

During snorkeling, I was able to encounter sea turtles, which was truly moving 🥹. They also shared stories about the island's culture, landmarks, and helpful information during our breaks.

I highly recommend this to everyone going to Miyako Island! Thank you, Tecchan!

見た目もハートもスーパーイケメンな方に担当して頂きました！
研修中の方も同行していただき、困ったときは優しくフォローしてくれました。

シュノーケリングでは海亀とも遭遇できて感動🥹
また合間合間で島の文化や名所、耳寄りな情報などのお話もして頂きました。

宮古島に行く皆様にオススメしたいです！てっちゃんありがとう〜！

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

My first SUP experience, the tour through the mangroves allowed me to feel nature and refresh from within! The water buffalo had flowers wrapped around their horns, looking so cute! It was a wonderful healing trip, and I am very satisfied! ♪

人生初のsup、マングローブで自然を感じながらのツアーは体の中からリフレッシュできました！
水牛もツノにお花を巻いていて、可愛い見た目をしていました！
素晴らしい癒しの旅行となり、大満足です♪

4 nights and 5 days
It was my first time in Miyako Island, and it was truly, truly amazing! ☺️
I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling, but it was still a lot of fun! 👍 The guide was very polite and made the tour enjoyable.
Next time, I want to extend my stay and have even more fun! 😊 Looking forward to the next visit! 🙋‍♂️

4泊5日
初めての宮古島だったのですが
本当に本当に最高過ぎました☺️
シュノーケルでは亀を見る事は出来なかったですが💦楽しかったです👍ガイドの方も凄く丁寧で楽しくツアーに参加出来ました。
次はもっと宿泊数を増やして楽しみたいと思います😊次回もよろしくお願いします🙋‍♂️

I received great help from our guide, Yuuri. Their service spirit was abundant and it was enjoyable. Thank you very much. It's a shame we couldn't see the sea turtles, but that's nature, so it can't be helped. If I have the chance to come to Miyako Island again, I would like to try again.

ガイドのユウリさんに大変お世話になりました。サービス精神が多めで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。ウミガメが見れなくて残念でしたが、これは自然のものなので仕方がないです。宮古島に来ることがあればまたチャレンジしたいです。

I felt the fresh air of the mangrove forest and the energy of this unique place. Thank you for providing a valuable experience that cannot be enjoyed in the city. The instructors were all kind and attentive, so I highly recommend it.

マングローブの森の新鮮な空気と独特な場所が持つエネルギーを感じました。
都会では味わえない貴重な体験をさせて頂きありがとうございます。
インストラクターの人も親切で丁寧な人ばかりなのでオススメです。
