All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

It was our first trip to Iriomote Island with my wife and three children. We were unsure about which tour to join since our youngest is only 4 years old, but we were drawn in by the tour description and reviews, and I thought the instructor seemed friendly, so we decided to sign up. They tailored the experience to our family's needs while also managing time well, allowing us to fully enjoy Iriomote Island. There aren't many tours that include lunch, but this one offered homemade Yaeyama soba outdoors, which was a great bonus! With plenty of tour experience, the staff's friendliness and responsiveness made it a reassuring first experience!

妻と子供3人での初西表島でした。三男は4歳と参加するツアーは悩みながらでしたがツアー説明や口コミに惹かれて、インストラクターさんも気さくな方だと思い申込しました。家族に合わせて頂きながらも時間管理もしっかりしていて余す事なく西表島を満喫しました。お昼ご飯が出るツアーはあまり見当たらず、本ツアーは外で手作り八重山そばを食べれるのも◎！たくさんのツアー経験から人当たりも対応もとても良く初体験で安心できるツアーでした！

The wind was strong, making it difficult to paddle the canoe, but the staff guided us diligently, and we were able to see Nemo. They also filmed with a drone and edited a satisfying video for us, which made us very happy.

風が強く、なかなかカヌーが漕げなかった為、スタッフが一生懸命誘導してくださり、ニモを見せてもらいました。ドローン撮影もしてくださり、満足な動画を編集してもらいとても満足です。

I stayed for three nights, and it was only during this activity that the weather was nice, allowing me to have the best time. The guide was very thorough and knew exactly where to find the fish. I was thrilled to participate in the drone filming as a solo attendee, and the video I received on the way back was edited into a story format with music, creating an unforgettable memory.

3泊しましたが、このアクティビティの時だけ晴れてくれて、最高の時間を過ごせました。
ガイドの方も丁寧に教えてくださり、魚がいる場所まで把握されていました。
ドローン撮影も1人参加の私には嬉しくて
帰りに頂いた動画もストーリー風にして音楽もつけて編集してくださり忘れられない思い出になりました。

I wanted to experience the kind of scenery you imagine when you hear "mangrove," like navigating a boat through the vegetation and seeing flooded forests, so I checked the high tide times and made a reservation, which turned out to be a great decision. Additionally, the guide's stories about Okinawa and the vegetation were very interesting.

マングローブと聞いてイメージするような、草木の間をボートで潜り抜けたり水没林のような光景を見たりしたいと思って、満潮の時刻を調べてから予約して大正解でした。また、ガイドさんの沖縄や植生に関する話もとても興味深かったです。

On the day of the tour, the ferry from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port on Iriomote Island was canceled, and with strong rain and wind, I was worried, "Will we be able to canoe?" However, Ayu, who was in charge of the tour, was amazing and I was very satisfied! She had a soft demeanor, provided accurate guidance, and was truly knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. The fun communication not only highlighted the wonders of the mangroves but also made it a fantastic memory because Ayu was with us! Thank you! ☺️

ツアー当日は石垣島から西表島上原港までのフェリーが欠航&雨と風が強く「カヌーできるのかな？」と不安だったのですが、ツアーを担当してくれたあゆちゃんが最高で大満足でした！
柔らかい雰囲気をお持ちで、的確に案内してくださり、知識がほんっとうに豊富で何を質問しても答えてくださり、楽しいコミニケーションでマングローブの凄さもですが、あゆちゃんが一緒だったから最高に良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました☺️

The guide was very kind, and the participants got along well, making it incredibly fun. It didn't require any special techniques or physical strength, and it was a fantastic nature experience that went by in no time.

ガイドさんがとても親切で、参加者同士も仲良くなり最高に楽しかったです。テクニックも体力もいらないし、あっという間のネイチャー体験、最高でした。

The clear kayak experience that I had always wanted to try when I went to Miyako Island! It was surprisingly warm for December, and the weather was perfect. It was my first time kayaking, but the staff were very kind and taught us well, allowing my 9-year-old daughter to paddle confidently. They showed us spots where we could see fish, and the kids were thrilled to spot fish swimming right at their feet! We also took lots of photos and drone videos, making it a wonderful memory.

宮古島へ行ったら是非とも体験してみたいと思っていたクリアカヤック！！
12月とは思えないくらい暖かく天候にも恵まれ、カヤックは初めてでしたが、スタッフの方がとても丁寧に教えてくれて9歳の娘でもしっかり漕いで進むことができました。
魚のいるスポットを教えてもらい、足元に泳ぐ魚を見つけて子供達は大興奮！！
写真やドローン撮影の動画も沢山撮って頂いただいて、最高の思い出になりました。

The mystical scenery of the Pumpkin Cave with its murky hues.
The sight of a large sea turtle eating algae right in front of me.
Our guide, Maashi, captured wonderful memories in photos.
I received advice on how to enjoy my time in Miyako Island and on gourmet options, allowing me to fully enjoy a deep experience over nine days. Thank you, Maashi!

パンプキン鍾乳洞のぬるっとした色調の神秘的な光景
大きなウミガメが目の前で藻を食べている光景
ガイドのまーしさんがすごく素敵な思い出を写真として撮ってくれました
宮古島での過ごし方、グルメのアドバイスもいただいて９日間まるっとディープに楽しむことが出来ました。まーしさんありがとうございました。

It was the fourth day of my stay in Okinawa, and although it was a bit chilly, I gradually warmed up while rowing. In the end, I ended up competing with the group I joined and finished in third place! I believe I was probably the oldest participant at 50 years old, but I had a great time rowing and slept well at night. I highly recommend this wonderful experience.

沖縄滞在４日目で少し肌寒い日でしたがオールを漕いでるうちに次第に温かくなり、最後は参加したグループの方と競争になりましたが、3位という結果に！わたしは50歳でおそらくその日の最年長だったと思いますが、楽しく漕いで夜はよく眠れました。
とっても素敵な時間なのでオススメいたします。

A handsome and kind older brother will guide you. You paddle towards the cave on a canoe, entering through an opening between the rocks. After that, you climb inside the cave and pay your respects. The path was steeper than I had imagined, but if you follow the guide's instructions, you can enjoy it safely!

イケメンで優しいお兄さんがガイドしてくれます。カヌーで鍾乳洞を目指して漕ぎ、岩の隙間にある入り口から鍾乳洞に入っていきます。その後、洞窟の中を登り、お参りをします。想像していたよりも険しい道でしたが、ガイドさんの指示に従えば、安全に楽しむことができます！

It was unfortunately rainy, but I was very healed by the sound of raindrops dripping from the mangroves after entering the tributary. I wanted to record it with a high-performance microphone!

あいにくの雨でしたが支流に入ってからのマングローブから滴る雨音にとても癒されました。高性能マイクで録音したいくらい！

We participated as a family of four!!
The guidance from the day before was thorough, and we felt at ease participating on the day.
It was truly a real jungle cruise, and our whole family enjoyed it to the fullest.
The course was flexibly adjusted based on the members and the river's flow, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind!
This time, we couldn't go to Baras Island due to the weather, so I would like to try again if the opportunity arises.

家族4人で参加しました!!
前日の案内から丁寧で当日安心して参加しました。
まさにリアルジャングルクルーズで、家族全員で満喫出来ました。
メンバーや川の流れ、風によって臨機応変にコースを変更してくれて安心して楽しめました!
今回は天候でバラス島には行けなかったのでまた機会があればリベンジしたいです。

I absolutely wanted to experience mangrove kayaking when I went to Iriomote Island. The guide adjusted the pace to match our level. At the waterfall, we received the best hospitality. I really felt that the guide was well-versed in nature. Thank you very much. They also took photos for us, which became wonderful memories.

西表島に行ったら絶対に体験したいマングローブカヤックでした。私たちのレベルに合わせて進んで頂きました。ゴールの滝では最高のおもてなしを頂きました。流石、自然に精通されているガイドさんだなぁ〜と感じました。ありがとうございました
写真も撮って頂き最高の思い出となりました。

Matsuchan, our guide, was very friendly and put us at ease! Since everyone was a first-timer, there was no need to worry about keeping up with the lectures, and I think the content was enjoyable enough to have a great time even in the unpredictable weather of Iriomote Island!

ガイドのまっちゃんさんがとても気さくで安心しました！参加者はみんな初めてなのでレクチャーについていけるか心配する必要もないですし、天候が不安定な西表島でも充分楽しめるコンテンツだと思います！

I previously participated in PiPi's SUP and had a great time, so I signed up for the activity to see sea turtles as recommended! It was my first time snorkeling, but I enjoyed it without any issues and quickly got to see beautiful fish and coral, which I found mesmerizing. We seemed to have bad luck and couldn't find the sea turtles for a while, but Mashi-san worked hard to find them, and we were able to meet them, which made me very satisfied.

I actually didn't have high expectations for the Pumpkin Cave, but it was more beautiful than I imagined, and I highly recommend it. I also got along well with the other participants and enjoyed the activities in a friendly atmosphere, creating wonderful memories. Both this time and last time, the staff were very kind and approachable, so if I have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, I would like to experience other activities as well.

以前にPiPiさんのSUPに参加しとても楽しく、次回はぜひウミガメに会いに行くアクティビティもよいですよ！とおすすめされたので申し込みました。
シュノーケリングが初めてだったのですが、問題なく楽しめすぐにきれいな魚やサンゴを見れて夢中になって楽しみました。私たちは運が悪かったらしくなかなかウミガメさんが見つかりませんでしたがまーしさんが一所懸命探してくれて無事会うことができて大満足でした。

パンプキン鍾乳洞は実はあまり期待していなかったのですが、想像以上に美しくおススメです。他の参加の方とも仲良く和気あいあいとアクティビティを楽しめてとってもいい思い出になりました。
前回も今回もスタッフの方がとても親切で気さくなのでまた次回宮古島に行く機会があればほかのアクティビティも体験したいです。

The private tour allowed me to enjoy at my own pace without worrying about others, which was great. ☺ They always answered my questions, and I learned a lot about Amami Oshima. I was a beginner with canoeing, but they were always there to help, which was very reassuring. I highly recommend this tour!

プライベートツアーで自分のペースゆっくり見ることができ楽しく、他の方を気にすることがないのが良かった☺
質問にも必ず返してくださって奄美大島のことたくさん知れました
カヌーも初心者でしたが常に待っていてくださったので助かりました
オススメツアーです

This was our first time in Miyako Island, and we participated in this tour as a couple! I was excited to hear that Pumpkin Cave is a rare cave that can be accessed from the sea. We traveled to the cave entrance by canoe, paddling through the beautiful and calm sea, and at the cave entrance, we were supported individually and guided to this sacred place. Although it is a mystical cave, the time for people to enter is limited, and it was a valuable experience that could only be done with a guide. Thank you for supporting us safely and enjoyably from start to finish! When we come back to Miyako Island, we will definitely join the tour again!

はじめての宮古島、夫婦でこのツアーに参加しました！パンプキン洞窟は海から入れる珍しい洞窟とのことでワクワクしました。洞窟の入口まではカヌーで移動しましたがキレイで穏やかな海を気持ちよく漕いでいき、洞窟入口からは1人1人をサポートしてくださり神聖な場所へと案内して下さりました。神秘的な洞窟ではありますが人が入れる時間は限られていてそしてガイドがないと入ることができない貴重な体験をさせていただきました。最初から最後まで安全に楽しくサポート下さりありがとうございました。また宮古島に遊びにきた時はツアー参加させていただきます！

I was a bit concerned about the temperature and water conditions in December, but the staff took great care of the elementary school children, allowing us to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. I also appreciated the recommendations for sightseeing spots on the island and the sharing of photos.

12月の参加で気温水温共にやや不安でしたが、小学生の子供達にもしっかり気を配って頂き、安心して楽しくアクティビティ出来ました！
オススメの島内の観光地情報や写真の共有もして頂き、ありがたかったです。

My first time in Miyako Island, SUP. As a beginner, I was really nervous at first, but I ended up having a lot of fun. I was also happy to receive many photos!

初めての宮古島、SUP。初心者なので最初はビビリまくりでしたが、途中からとても楽しんでできました。写真もたくさん頂けて嬉しかったです！

The sunset view was amazing! The organization and support provided were very good. The experience surpassed our expectations. It was our first time SUP. Although our Japanese language skills are not very good, we could learn very easily thanks to the kind explanation of the person in charge. We really enjoyed doing SUP in Ishigaki!!! Thank you!!!

I went kayaking for the first time, and it was so much fun! I quickly got used to the operation, and the guide's explanations about the creatures and ecosystems were clear, enjoyable, and very informative! The weather was mild, not too hot or too cold, and it was just right even if my feet got wet. I think December is a great time for kayaking! It's one of the activities I want to do again when I come back to Okinawa!

初めてカヤックしましたが、すごく楽しかったです！
操作もすぐに慣れて、ガイドさんの生き物や生態系の説明もわかりやすく、楽しく面白くとってもためになりました！
気候も穏やかで、暑すぎず寒すぎず
裸足で濡れても冷えることはなくちょうど良かったです！
12月のカヤックは気候がとてもいいのではないかと思いました！また沖縄に来たらしたいアクティビティの一つです！

I went on a trip to Miyako Island for two nights and three days! On the first and second days, the weather was bad, and I was worried about whether I could go to the limestone cave, but on the morning of the third day, the weather was nice, and I was able to go to the Pumpkin Limestone Cave by canoe! I had been to limestone caves several times before, but it was my first time climbing up to the top on my own! When I finally descended from the cave, I had the experience of jumping down from above, and it was so much fun!

２泊３日で宮古島旅行に来ました！
１日目、2日目は天気が悪く鍾乳洞に行けるか不安でしたが３日目の朝は天気が良く無事パンプキン鍾乳洞にカヌーで行くことができました！　　
鍾乳洞に何度か行ったことがありましたが自分の足で上まで登ることは初めてでした！鍾乳洞から最後おりるときは上から飛び降りる体験ができとても楽しかったです！

The Pumpkin Cave was an activity where I could really feel the great outdoors while exploring the cave! The guide who assisted us was friendly and provided thorough explanations, making it truly enjoyable! The SUP was relaxing with the clear and beautiful sea! I already want to go back to Miyako Island and do more activities again.

パンプキン鍾乳洞は鍾乳洞探検して大自然を特に感じられたアクティビティでした！担当してくれたガイドさんも気さくな方で説明も丁寧にして下さり本当にとても楽しかったです！SUPは海が透明でとても綺麗でのんびりできました！早くもまた宮古島に行ってまたアクティビティしたい気持ちです。

The operation was easier than I expected. I think we can make good progress by coordinating with my partner.

You can enjoy the unique nature of Okinawa, such as mangroves, mudskippers, and butterflies.

操作は思ったよりも簡単に出来ました。
パートナーと息を合わせて操縦することでよく進むことができると思います。

マングローブや、ハゼ、蝶など沖縄ならではの自然を満喫することができます。

To celebrate my mother's birthday, she went on her first week-long trip to Okinawa. She mentioned wanting to try mangrove kayaking, so I made a reservation!

We set off with two other families, including some from overseas! The instructor was a very friendly and easy-to-talk-to young man!

It was a tour where we could see the sunset, but unfortunately, it rained that day... As we told ourselves, "It can't be helped," a huge rainbow suddenly appeared!

While we were mesmerized by the rainbow, I turned around and saw that the sky, which had been gray just moments before, was now pink!

We didn't get to see a beautiful sunset, but it turned into a miraculous canoe experience!

母の誕生日をかねて、母は初の沖縄へ1週間旅行に行きました。
その中でマングローブカヤックをしたいと行っていたので予約しました！

お子様連れの方と、海外の方と3組で出発！
インストラクターの方はとても話しやすい優しいお兄さんでした！

夕焼けの見れるツアーでしたが、残念ながらその日は雨が、、、夕焼けが見れず『仕方ない』と、自分たちに言い聞かせていたら、、、
おっきな虹が突然現れましたー！
虹に夢中になりながら後ろを振り返ると、さっきまで灰色だった空がピンクに！

綺麗な夕焼け、は見れませんでしたが、キセキのカヌー体験になりました！

During my first visit to Miyako Island, I was looking for various activities and found this tour.

It was a packed and satisfying tour where we paddled a canoe in the beautiful sea of Miyako Island, explored a limestone cave, and even encountered sea turtles while snorkeling!

Our guide, Shintaro, was very thorough in his explanations and great at keeping the energy up, making for a really enjoyable time. I was thrilled to see sea turtles twice (up close, too)! Thank you for this precious experience.

At first, I was torn between trying the introductory diving or this snorkeling tour, and to be honest, I didn't have high expectations for snorkeling (sorry about that), but in the end, it exceeded my expectations in a good way, and it was the right choice!

I created unforgettable memories during my first trip to Miyako Island. I definitely want to come back and visit again! Thank you! \( ¨̮ )/

初めての宮古島で、何かしらアクティビティをしようと色々探していて、こちらのツアーを見つけました。

宮古島の綺麗な海でカヌーを漕ぎ、鍾乳洞を探検し、シュノーケリングでウミガメにも出会えて、盛りだくさんで大満足のツアーでした！

ガイドしてくださった、しんたろうさんは説明も丁寧かつ盛り上げ上手で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、ウミガメに2回も会うことができて(しかも直近で)
感動しました！貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

最初、体験ダイビングとこちらのシュノーケリングツアーのどちらにしようか迷っていて、正直シュノーケリング🤿にはそこまで期待していなかった(失礼)のですが、結果いい意味で期待を大きく裏切り、大正解でした🙆🏻‍♂️

初めての宮古島で忘れられない思い出ができました。
またぜひ宮古島に遊びに来たいです！
ありがとうございました\( ¨̮ )/

The Pumpkin Cave was very mystical and beautiful! It seems that the difficulty of visiting depends on the wave height, so it was special to be able to go there by chance. The guide was also interesting, making it a very enjoyable experience!

パンプキン鍾乳洞とても神秘的で綺麗でした✨波の高さなどによって行くのが難しいみたいで、運良く行くことができたのも特別感があってよかったです！
ガイドさんも面白くとても楽しい経験になりました！

I signed up for the Pumpkin Hall and Blue Cave set the day before and received a call right away. Unfortunately, due to sea conditions, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we only did the two-hour Pumpkin Hall (plus sea kayaking) tour.

As a result, I was amazed to discover such a place! And to see such beautiful scenery! I highly recommend this unique experience.

The only inconvenience was that there were no showers or changing rooms, so we had to wipe off the seawater in the parking lot and return to our accommodation in the rental car.

The guide was consistently kind, young, but very reliable. Thank you very much.

パンプキンホールと青の洞窟のセットで前日に申し込み、すぐ電話頂きました。残念ながら青の洞窟は海況の判断で行けないとのことで、2時間程度のパンプキンホール（＋シーカヤック）ツアーのみにしました。
結果、こんな場所があるなんて！そしてこんな景色が見れるなんて！と感動！
めちゃめちゃオススメしたい、ここならではの体験と思いました。
シャワーや更衣室がないので駐車場で海水を拭いてレンタカーで宿泊先に戻らないといけなかったことだけが不便でした。
ガイドさんは終始優しく若いけど頼もしい方でした。ありがとうございました。

The activity we had planned was canceled due to bad weather, so we suddenly signed up for a tour. However, they were very kind and accommodating, and it turned into a great memory. Thank you very much.

予定していたアクティビティが天候不良のためキャンセルになってしまい急に申し込んだツアーでしたが親切に対応していただき、良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

We participated with our family from 9 AM in late November. Due to strong winds and bad weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave and instead went snorkeling at Ohsaki Beach as a substitute.

The morning mangrove canoeing was very enjoyable, and the guide was friendly, allowing us to ask various questions, which added to the fun of learning.

We returned to the island terminal once and had just under three hours of free time before the afternoon activities, but it turned out well as we could leisurely stroll around the town. The guide also recommended some shops, which we checked out.

During the afternoon snorkeling, it rained occasionally, but we weren't cold in our wetsuits, and we were able to encounter two sea turtles.

We took a lot of photos, and both the kids and parents had a great time. I highly recommend it.

11月の下旬に家族で9時から参加。
強風で天気も良くなかったので、青の洞窟は行けず、振替の大崎ビーチでのシュノーケリングになりました。

午前中のマングローブカヌーはとても楽しく、ガイドさんも気さくで質問も色々できて知る楽しみもありました。

一度離島ターミナルに戻って、午後からのアクティビティまで3時間弱時間が空いてしまいましたが、ゆっくり街中をぶらぶらできたので結果OKでした。ガイドさんがおすすめのお店なども教えてくれるので行ってみたりしました。

午後からのシュノーケリングの時は時折雨も降っていましたが、ウェットスーツで寒くなかったですし、ウミガメにも2匹遭遇することができました。

写真もたくさん撮ってもらい、子供達も親も楽しめておすすめです。
