All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

It was my first time kayaking, and the instructions were easy to understand, making it enjoyable. The sunset viewed from the sea was beautiful, and witnessing the moment it sank below the horizon was the best!

初めてのシーカヤックでしたが、説明もわかりやすく楽しめました。
海の上から見る夕日がとても綺麗で、水平線に沈む瞬間も見られて最高でした！

Our family of four went on our first trip to Okinawa, specifically Miyako Island. Since the kids wanted to see sea turtles and fish in Okinawa, we decided to join this tour.

Our 10-year-old and 7-year-old were a bit worried since it was their first experience with snorkeling and kayaking, but the guide provided excellent support, so there were no issues at all! The whole family enjoyed ourselves thoroughly until the end. We got to see the sea turtles, which was our main goal, and we also visited a precious limestone cave, creating the best memories of our Miyako Island trip. They took a lot of photos for us, and the data was sent right away, which was fantastic. We definitely couldn't have captured those moments on our own, so I highly recommend this tour.

家族4人で初めての沖縄、宮古島旅行。
子供達が沖縄でウミガメやお魚に会いたい！と希望したためこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。

10才、7才の子供たちはシュノーケリングもカヤックも初体験で少し心配していましたが、ガイドさんが万全の体制でサポートしてくださったので何も問題なし！家族全員で最後まで存分に楽しめました。
１番の目的だったウミガメにも会えて、貴重な鍾乳洞も訪れることができ、宮古島旅行で1番の思い出ができました。
写真もたくさんとっていただき、データもすぐに送ってもらえるのが最高です。自分たちだけでは絶対に撮ることができないので本当におすすめ。

I participated in my first-ever mangrove kayak tour this time. We visited the Hija River, the second longest river on Okinawa Island. Surrounded by a lot of greenery, I was able to move my body and refresh my mind. I went in knowing nothing about mangroves, but the staff member Watanabe kindly taught me. The Hija River is home to many plants and animals, and when I asked questions, I was given interesting facts about those creatures! It was a lot of fun. I also got a great photo taken, which became a wonderful memory.

今回は人生で初めてのマングローブカヤックツアーに参加しました。
比謝川という沖縄本島で2番目に長い川にお邪魔しました。
たくさんの緑に囲まれ、身体も動かし心もリフレッシュできました。
マングローブのことは何も知らない状態で行ったのですがスタッフの渡谷さんが丁寧に教えて下さいました。
比謝川にはたくさんの動植物が生息しており、質問をした際その生き物の豆知識を教えていただきました！
とても楽しかったです。写真も最高の一枚を撮影していただいたいい記念になりました。

In the morning, I participated in a kayak tour, and in the afternoon, I joined the water buffalo ferry tour to Yubu Island. The weather was great, and I was able to see the mangrove roots by kayak! It was my first time kayaking, but our guide, Hayata, was cheerful and attentive, which made the tour enjoyable. We were able to take many photos. For lunch, we were taken to a hamburger shop near Uehara Port. In the afternoon, we traveled to Yubu Island in a microbus with our guide, Macchan, who entertained us with fun stories on the way to the water buffalo ferry terminal. It was hot while exploring Yubu Island, so the pineapple and awamori gelato we had at Yubu Island Teahouse was delicious.

午前中にカヤック、午後は由布島の水牛渡しのツアーに参加しました。
天候もよく、マングローブの根っこをカヤックで見たい！を実現できました。
カヤックは初めてでしたが、ガイドのハヤタさんに明るく丁寧に対応していただき、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
写真もたくさんとってもらえました。
お昼ごはんは上原港近くのハンバーガー屋さんまで送ってもらえました。
午後の由布島はガイドのまっちゃんさんの楽しいトークのマイクロバスで水牛渡し乗り場まで。
由布島散策は暑かったので島内の由布島茶屋で食べたパイナップルと泡盛のジェラードが美味しかったです。

The canoe trip to Pumpkin Cave offers breathtaking views! Paddling can be a bit tiring, but the sacred Pumpkin Cave waiting ahead is a must-see. It might not be accessible in the future, so be sure to go while you can. After a lunch break, we went snorkeling with sea turtles and were lucky enough to encounter two of them. We also took plenty of photos with the sea turtles and Nemo! I was very satisfied with the tour, as we participated safely and enjoyably under the guide's instructions.

パンプキン鍾乳洞に向かうカヌー旅から絶景！
漕ぐのは少し疲れますが、その先で待っている神聖なパンプキン鍾乳洞は必見です。今後入れなくなるかもしれないとのことで、今のうちに是非。お昼休憩を挟んで海亀シュノーケル幸運にも2匹の海亀に遭遇できました。海亀やニモとの写真もたくさん撮っていただきました！ガイドさんの指示のもと安全かつ楽しくツアーに参加できて満足です

Every year, I have my summer vacation in Ishigaki Island. Until now, I participated in island-hopping tours, but since I've been to all the islands, I joined a tour for the Blue Cave and snorkeling that I had been curious about. My niece, who was just starting snorkeling, was a bit awkward, but the guide was very attentive and supportive, and she said it was incredibly fun. She has completely fallen in love with snorkeling. Thank you so much for the photos and videos. I would like to participate again next year.

毎年恒例の石垣島️の夏休み。今までは離島ツアーに参加してましたが、離島は行き尽くしたので、気になっていた青の洞窟とシュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。同行の姪はシュノーケル始めたばかりでぎこちないのですが、ガイドさんが丁寧にフォローしてくださり、ものすごく楽しかったと。すっかりシュノーケルにはまってしまいました。写真や動画、たくさんありがとうございました。来年も参加したいと思っています。

I participated with my two children, aged 2 and 5. I was worried since they are still so young, but they had a great time. The tour guide was also attentive to the children. On this day, there were many international participants, and I was moved by the tour guide's efforts to explain everything in English and to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. The homey atmosphere was very nice.

2歳と5歳の子供2人と参加しました。まだ小さいので心配でしたが、とても楽しんでいました。添乗員さんにも子供のこと気にかけていただけました。またこの日は海外の方も多く参加される中、一生懸命英語で説明している姿や、少しでも楽しませようと頑張っている添乗員さんに感動しました。アットホームな雰囲気がとてもよかったです。

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time in Miyako Island. I was able to enjoy various ways of riding in the beautiful sea. I also had the chance to snorkel and see various fish and turtles. Not only was the sea of Miyako Island amazing, but Shintaro's personality made it easy to relax and enjoy. He also recommended great dining spots and places to see the stars, which made my trip even more fulfilling. I hope to have the opportunity to do this again!

初めての宮古島で初めてのSUPを体験しました。綺麗な海で色々な乗り方を楽しむことができました。シュノーケリングも色々な魚やカメにも会うことができました。宮古島の海はもちろんのこと、シンタロウさんの人柄もあり安心して楽しむことができました。おすすめのお食事何処、星空スポット等も教えていただき、より充実した旅行になりました。また機会があればよろしくお願いします！

I was anxious because I can't swim, but thanks to the encouragement from the staff, I was able to enjoy corals and fish like I've never seen before. I was also happy to see a sea turtle.
At Pumpkin Hall, even though it seemed tough to pull me up and carry the canoe from the sea, they did it without showing any struggle and kept smiling, making it enjoyable.
I will cherish the many photos you took as a gift. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work. I appreciate the wonderful memories!

泳げないから不安だったけど、あんちゃんの声掛けのおかげで、見たことないくらいのサンゴと魚を楽しめました✨海カメもみれて、幸せです。
パンプキンホールも、身体を引き上げてもらったり、カヌーを海から運んだり、大変そうなのに、見せないで、笑顔で楽しませてくれました。
たくさん撮っていただいた写真のプレゼント、大切にします。スタッフの皆さん、お疲れさまです。素敵な思い出、ありがとうございました！

With the momentum of wanting to try something new just before turning 65, I participated alone. Canoeing on the Urauchi River was a luxury, but the heat quickly drained my energy, and in the end, the guide worked hard to pull me to the finish line. It was my second time canoeing, and I was desperately paddling, but new experiences are always fun. I got to touch the mangroves, feel the river up close, and hear the voice of the kingfisher. Above all, the guide's enthusiasm for wanting us to truly experience the joy of this tour was wonderful. Thank you very much!

何かと制限のかかる65才を目前にやってみようの勢いそのままに1人で参加。浦内川を1人カヌーは贅沢とはいえ暑さで体力は急ピッチで消耗最後はガイドさんが一生懸命引っ張ってくださってゴール。カヌーは2度目でオールを漕ぐのも必死でしたが、新しい体験はやっぱり楽しい
マングローブに触れたり、川をすぐそばに感じたり、アカショウビンの声を聞いたり。
何よりガイドさんがこのツアーの楽しさを一生懸命に体感してほしいという熱量が素敵でした。ありがとうございました

Given my age, I chose the half-day course, and it was the right decision. I couldn't climb any higher than that. As for the canoeing, I wonder if the course is unique. I had plenty of time to enjoy it. It was during the rainy season, but there was only a light drizzle. I can imagine that if it had been clear and sunny, it would have been much more exhausting. Thank you for your help.

年齢も有り、半日コースにしましたが正解
あれ以上は登れません
カヌーについては、コースが独自のコースなのか
充分な時間楽しめました。
梅雨期間でしたが、パラパラ程度の雨で
曇りがち、快晴だったらもっと体力を奪われているだろうと
想像がつきます。
お世話に成りました。

During my first trip to Miyako Island, I was determined to try SUP and snorkeling! I had some concerns about my physical stamina, and I hesitated until the last minute about the Pumpkin Cave & sea kayaking, but I’m glad I decided to go for the all-inclusive tour! I had never even heard of Pumpkin Cave before participating this time, but it became my best memory (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠).

There’s about a two-hour break between the morning and afternoon activities, so if you take a good rest during that time, even those who aren’t confident in their stamina can enjoy the whole day.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any sea turtles this time, so I hope to have a chance to try again when I visit Miyako Island!

**Recommended Points**
- You don’t need to be able to swim!
I wore a life jacket, so even I, who can’t swim, had fun just kicking my legs. For those who aren’t confident in their stamina, the guide will pull you along with a large float during snorkeling.

- You can leave the photos to the guide!
We could fully enjoy the activities! Depending on the number of participants, we had about 30 photos for each activity, which was a lot.

**Advice for Future Visitors**
- Stay hydrated
A 500ml bottle wasn’t enough… There are hardly any vending machines on-site, and even when you finally find one, water and tea were sold out, so I recommend bringing a larger size.

- Rash guards and swim leggings are almost essential
My husband got sunburned on his calves because he was so focused on snorkeling. The rocks are also quite rough, so it’s best to wear them.

- Having motion sickness medication can be reassuring
On the day of the activities, it was windy, and we were constantly swaying in the waves during snorkeling and kayaking. Some people do get seasick, so if you’re worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.

初めての宮古島で、SUPとシュノーケリングは絶対にやる！と決めていました。
体力的に不安があり、パンプキン鍾乳洞&シーカヤックはギリギリまで悩んだのですが、思い切って全部込みのツアーにして良かったです！！
パンプキン鍾乳洞は今回参加するまで名前も知らなかったのですが、一番の思い出になりました(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

午前・午後のアクティビティの間に2時間くらい休憩があるので、そこでしっかり休めば体力に自信が無い人でも１日楽しめるかと思います。

今回は残念ながらウミガメに出会えなかったので、また宮古島に行くときにはリベンジしたいなと思います！


おすすめポイント
・泳げなくても大丈夫！
ライフジャケットを着ているので泳げない私でもバタ足だけで楽しめました。
体力に自信が無い人も、シュノーケリングのときにはガイドさんが大きな浮き輪で引っ張ってくれます。

・写真はおまかせで大丈夫！
自分たちはアクティビティを全力で楽しめます！
参加人数にもよるとは思いますが、私達はアクティビティごとに30枚くらいあって大ボリュームでした。


これから行く人にアドバイス
・水分は多めに
500mlのペットボトルでは足りませんでした…
現地は自販機がほとんどない上に、やっと見つけてもお水やお茶は売り切れだったので、大きいサイズを持ち込むことをおすすめします。

・ラッシュガード・スイムレギンスほぼ必須
旦那はシュノーケリングに夢中になるあまり、ふくらはぎを真っ赤に日焼けしていました。
岩もゴツゴツしてるので、なるべく着用をおすすめします。

・酔い止めがあると安心
アクティビティ当日は風が強く、シュノーケリング・カヤックのときはずっと波に揺られていました。
波酔いしてしまう人もいるそうなので、心配な人は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

I had an incredibly satisfying experience, exceeding 120% satisfaction! Although I was a beginner in both snorkeling and canoeing, thanks to the tour staff who taught us in a casual yet thorough manner, I was able to relax and enjoy the activities with peace of mind.

The experience of being surrounded by the beautiful sea and tranquil mangroves was truly soothing. Everything I experienced was extraordinary and it was the best! Additionally, I learned many interesting topics about Ishigaki Island, which helped create wonderful memories of my trip. Thank you very much! If I visit Ishigaki Island again in the future, I would love to use your services once more.

満足度120パーセントの大満足な体験ができました！
シュノーケリングやカヌー共に初心者だったのですが、
カジュアルな雰囲気かつ丁寧に分かりやすく教えていただけるツアースタッフの方々のおかげで、心もほぐれつつを安心してアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
きれいな海と穏やかなマングローブに包まれる安らぎの体験。体感すること全て非日常な体験の連続で最高でした！
アクティビティ以外でもたくさんの石垣島トピックスを教えていただけたので、素敵な旅行の思い出をつくることができました。ありがとうございました！
今後もし石垣島を訪れる際には、また利用させていただきたいと思います。

It was a clear day right after the rainy season, during the 9 AM session. There was a strong wind blowing from the parking lot at Ingyamarine Garden to the preparation area, but once we descended to the beach, it completely stopped. Families with children at the same time seemed to participate with ease. The guide kindly and thoroughly taught us how to paddle on the beach and pointed out clownfish spots during the experience, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely time in the calm bay!

During the experience, the guide created a one-minute video using footage taken with a drone, and I was moved by how it looked like we were floating in the blue, transparent sea.

During the break, we learned that it was the season for the Sagarihana flower and talked about delicious mangoes. We were even able to visit afterward, making it great that we participated early in our trip.

I highly recommend it as it’s enjoyable for people of all ages and creates lasting memories!

朝9時の回、梅雨明け直後の快晴での体験でした。
インギャーマリンガーデンの駐車場から準備場所までは強めの風が吹いていましたが、ビーチに降りるとピタッと止み、同じ時間のお子さん連れのご家族も安心して参加しているように見えました。
ガイドの方が浜での漕ぎ方や体験中にクマノミスポットなど親切丁寧に教えてくれるので、穏やかな湾内でのんびり楽しむことができます！
体験中にガイドの方やドローンで撮影した素材で1分ほどの動画を作ってくれるのですが、青く透明な海に浮かんでいるようで感動しました

休憩時間にはサガリバナのシーズンだということや、美味しいマンゴーの話など教えていただき、その後行ってみることもできて、旅行の序盤に参加して良かったです。

老若男女楽しめて思い出にも残るのでオススメです

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave & Snorkeling Tour. It takes place at different locations in the morning and afternoon.

In the morning, we reached the Pumpkin Cave by canoe and then explored a cave-like area. We climbed around the surroundings, and our guide was very knowledgeable, making it enjoyable to listen to their stories!

In the afternoon, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. The guide carefully explained how to put on the goggles and fins, allowing us to do so smoothly! The underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, and we saw many fish. We even spotted a sea turtle and were able to take pictures together, which made me very satisfied!

It truly turned out to be a wonderful day, and I would love to join another tour if there are any available.

パンプキン鍾乳洞＆シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
午前と午後でそれぞれ別の場所で開催します。
午前中のパンプキン鍾乳洞はカヌーで途中まで行き、その後洞窟のような場所で見ることができます。その周辺を登りましたがガイドさんの知識が豊富で話を聞くのもとても楽しかったです！
午後のシュノーケリングは場所を移動してシギラビーチで行いました。ガイドさんがゴーグルやフィンの付け方を丁寧にご説明してくださるのでスムーズに装着することができました！
そして海の中はものすごく綺麗で魚をたくさん見ることができました。また、ウミガメも見ることができ、そして一緒に写真を撮っていただけたので大変満足しています！
また別のツアーがあればぜひ参加したいと思える、本当に良い1日になりました。

I was a little worried since we were both 150 years old combined, but the staff stayed with us the whole time and were really kind, which made it enjoyable. However, I wish we could have seen more fish. But the drone footage was really wonderful, and I'm truly glad I participated. Thank you very much.

二人合わせて150歳で大丈夫かなーと少し心配でしたが、スタッフの方がずっとついて下さり、本当に親切にして頂き楽しめました。ただ、魚が　もっと見れたらなーと。でもドローン撮映像もとても素敵で本当に参加できて良かったです。ありがとうございました

In the morning, I went snorkeling at the much-anticipated Barasu Island. The guide was very thorough in his explanations, and even though it was my first time, I was able to dive into the sea without fear. I had the opportunity to see the precious corals and colorful fish of Iriomote Island up close, which made me appreciate the beauty and importance of nature. It was a memorable experience that I will never forget.

In the afternoon, we went canoeing on the Urauchi River. This was also my first time, but as we continued, I became more adept at paddling, and my husband and I were able to leisurely navigate through the mangroves at our own pace. The river was much more beautiful than I had imagined, and we had a wonderful time. After the tour, I was very happy to receive many photos taken during the tour right away. It was an amazing tour that made me want to come back again.

午前中は楽しみにしていたバラス島でのシュノーケリング。ガイドのお兄さんが丁寧に説明して下さり、初めてでしたが怖がらずに海へダイブできました。西表島の貴重な珊瑚や色とりどりの魚達を間近に見る事ができ、自然の美しさと大切さを心に刻む時間となり、忘れられないものになりました。

午後からは浦内川でカヌーです。これもまた初めてでしたが、やっていく中でどんどん漕げるようになり、主人と２人マングローブの中をゆったりとマイペースに回る事ができました。川も想像よりずっとずっと綺麗で、心地よい時間を過ごす事ができました。
ツアー終了後、すぐにツアー中に撮ってくださった沢山の写真を送って頂き、とっても嬉しかったです。また来たいと思わせてくれる最高のツアーでした。

The tour I experienced started with sea turtle snorkeling in the morning and then went to the Pumpkin Cave in the afternoon. The instructor took photos with a GoPro, so I didn't need to bring my smartphone. It seems that smartphones can often interfere with waterproof cases, and I've heard that sometimes the photos don't turn out very well when you look back at them.

The sea turtles seem to prefer the seaweed that grows naturally on the tour's beach, so if you do your research, you can almost always see them here. If you're well-prepared, you could consider coming on your own and adding other tours besides the sea turtles. I personally wouldn't have gone by myself, but I found it quite interesting to watch the sea turtles munching on the seaweed.

Inside the Pumpkin Cave, it's like a cave system where you need to climb up and down slopes. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are really bad at exercising, as it can be dangerous. Especially the way down at the end involves jumping from a height of several meters, so it's not recommended for those with a fear of heights. However, there are views here that you can't see anywhere else, so I'm glad I came. The little fish swimming in the sparkling water surface in the dark cave were mystical and left a strong impression on me.

体験したツアーでは午前がウミガメシュノーケリングで午後がパンプキン鍾乳洞という流れでした。
ツアーではインストラクターさんがGoProで写真を撮って
くれるので、スマホを持って行かずに済みました。
スマホは防水ケースと干渉することが結構あるらしく、撮って後で見返したらあまり綺麗に取れてなかったなんてことがあるようです。

ウミガメさんはツアーの海岸で自生している海藻を好むらしく、この海岸に来ればほぼほぼ見られるので下調べをしっかりしている方であれば、個人的に来ることにしてウミガメ以外の他のツアーを付けるという手もあります。
私は自分だけだったら行かなかったので、海藻毟ってるウミガメさんを見てて結構面白かったです。

パンプキン鍾乳洞の中は洞窟になっていて、斜面を登ったり降りたりする必要があり、正直運動が本当に苦手な方は危ないのでおすすめしません。
特に最後に降りる方法が基本的に数メートルの高さからの飛び込みになるため、高所恐怖症の方にもおすすめできません。
ですが、ここでしか見られない景色があるので、私は来て良かったと思っています。
暗い洞窟内なのにキラキラ光る水面を泳ぐ小魚さんたちが神秘的で非常に印象に残っています。

The tour guide provided very detailed explanations about various things. They kindly answered our questions as well. We could take photos with our smartphones, but the photo service provided by the guide was also great. We made the best memories.

ツアーガイドさんがとても詳しく色々と説明してくれました。こちらの質問にも親切に答えてくれました。
自分たちのスマホで写真も撮れますが、ガイドさんが撮ってくれる写真サービスもよかったです。
最高の思い出ができました。

I was able to move my body more than I had imagined and had many experiences! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and it was fun. I also got to take a lot of photos☆

想像してたよりもたくさん体を動かして、たくさん体験ができました！ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました☆

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave exploration tour. Since we canoe through the sea to reach the cave, it really feels like you’re becoming an explorer. It’s very refreshing to experience the nature of Miyako Island up close. The staff provided a thorough briefing before we set off, so even beginners can feel at ease.

Inside the cave is truly mystical! The guide explained everything in detail, allowing us to enjoy every moment. The final dive was exhilarating.

This is an activity I highly recommend experiencing when you visit Miyako Island!

パンプキン鍾乳洞探検ツアーに参加させていただきました。鍾乳洞までは海の中をカヌーで行くので、探検家になった気分が味わえます。宮古島の自然を肌で感じながら進むのはとても気持ちがいいです。乗る前に担当の方がしっかりレクチャーをしてくれるので初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。
鍾乳洞の中は本当に神秘的です！ガイドの方が丁寧に説明してくれたのであますことなく楽しめました。
最後のダイブは爽快です。
宮古島に来たらぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです！

I had an absolutely wonderful time!! The kayaking was taught with great care, so even as a beginner, I had no problems. It was fun just to paddle through the mangroves, but that wasn't all! I also got to see endangered species of animals and plants, as well as power spots. And above all, Ten-shin's guidance was very entertaining!! Ten-shin knew a lot of things, and I found myself captivated by the stories. The tour itself progressed at a relaxed pace, so I think it would be totally fine for those who aren't very physically fit! After it was over, I could rinse my feet and body with water, and there were changing rooms, so there were no issues. The facilities were clean. It was more enjoyable than I expected, I felt healed by nature, and it was a tour that left me very satisfied! ⭐︎

とーっても楽しかったです！！カヤックの操縦は丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めて出したが問題なかったです。マングローブの中をカヤックで進むだけでも楽しかったのですが、それだけでなかったです！絶滅危惧種の生き物や植物、パワースポットも見れました。そして何よりも天心さんのガイドがとても面白かったです^ ^！！天心さんは色々な事を知っていて、お話をついつい聞き入ってしまいました。ツアー自体はゆっくりまったり進む感じなので体力に自身のない方でも全然大丈夫だと思います！終わった後は足と体を水で流せるし、更衣室もあるので問題なかったです。設備は綺麗でした。予想以上に楽しくて大自然にも癒され、大満足のツアーでした⭐︎

The canoe experience in the mangroves was more enjoyable than I had imagined. The unique ecosystem of plants and animals on Ishigaki Island felt like it was not in Japan at all! The weather was nice, and we were able to take our time, resting in the shade along the way, with a pleasant breeze. Our guide was cheerful and full of energy, taking lots of photos, which made for great memories! On the way back, we talked about recommended restaurants on Ishigaki Island. If you visit Ishigaki Island, be sure to check it out!

マングローブでのカヌー体験は想像以上に楽しい経験でした。
石垣島独特の植物や動物などの生態系はまるで日本ではないようでした！
天気も良く、途中日陰で休憩を挟みながらゆったり体験でき、風も気持ちよかったです。
ガイドさんも明るく元気いっぱいで写真もいっぱい撮っていただいて、いい思い出になりました！
帰り道では石垣島のおすすめの飲食店の話などをしていただきました。
石垣島に行った際には是非足を運んでみてください！

I experienced a mangrove canoe and water buffalo tour to Yubu Island in Iriomote Island. The weather was great on the day of the tour, and canoeing in such a beautiful setting was fantastic. The staff member, Shotaro, explained the ecology of the mangroves in a very easy-to-understand way, and it was a lot of fun to listen to him. We had a 3-year-old toddler with us, but the staff were very considerate, and we were able to enjoy the experience all the way to the end without any issues. They also took many wonderful photos, creating great memories. If I have the opportunity to visit again, I would definitely like to request this tour again. Thank you very much!

西表島にてマングローブカヌーと水牛で由布島観光を体験しました。ツアー当日はお天気が良く、絶景の中でのカヌーは最高でした。今回担当して下さったスタッフのしょうたろうさんはマングローブの生態についてとてもわかりやすく教えてくださり、聞いていてとても楽しかったです。3歳になったばかりの幼児も一緒だったのですがスタッフの方々にお気遣いいただき無事最後まで楽しんで体験することが出来ました。素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただきとてもいい思い出になりました。また訪れる機会がありましたら、ぜひまたお願いしたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I discovered a tour that combines stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves and snorkeling at the power spot, the Blue Cave, during my first trip to Ishigaki Island, not knowing anything about the area.

I quickly signed up, and although there was a slight mistake with the time in the reservation confirmation, the application was completed without any major issues.

On the day of the tour, we gathered in front of the hotel at 5:45 AM, which meant an extremely early wake-up call. However, since it was a sunrise tour, I enjoyed waking up early, hurriedly got ready, and headed out.

The SUP in the mangroves was enveloped in the morning's tranquility, with no artificial sounds at all, allowing us to leisurely float down the river while enjoying the sounds of nature.

It was truly a wonderful morning activity.

After a brief break, we moved on to the snorkeling tour. They picked us up in front of the hotel and transported us to the snorkeling spot, where we waded into the sea up to our chests to reach the Blue Cave.

The entrance to the cave was a jump dive spot, and with a shout, we made a splash.

After touching the natural amethyst in the Blue Cave and praying for an increase in fortune, we finally went snorkeling.

We encountered colorful fish and sea snakes, enjoying a natural aquarium experience.

The guide shared a lot of information during our travels, which was very educational.

With a packed half-day tour, we had plenty of time in the afternoon, making it a great value tour.

初めての石垣島旅行で何も分からず、マングローブでのSUPとパワースポットである青の洞窟シュノーケリングがセットになったツアーを発見

すぐに申し込み、予約確認で若干時間の間違いがあったものの、特に問題なく申し込み完了。

当日は05:45ホテル前集合と、超早起きでしたが、サンライズツアーなので早起き自体を楽しみ、バタバタと支度してお出かけ。

マングローブでのSUPは早朝の静寂に包まれ人工的な音が一切せず、自然の音だけを楽しみながらゆったりと川をフロート。

本当に良い朝活ができました。


一旦解散してからのシュノーケリングツアー
ホテル前に迎えに来てくれて、シュノーケリングスポットまで移動し、青の洞窟は胸まで海に浸かっての移動。

洞窟入り口がジャンプダイブスポットになっていて、掛け声と共にスプラッシュ

青の洞窟で天然の紫水晶に触れ、金運上昇を祈願したあとは、いよいよシュノーケリング

色とりどりの魚や海蛇にも遭遇し天然の水族館を楽しみました。

ガイドさんは移動中たくさん話を聞かせてくれてとても勉強になりました。

半日モリモリで午後もタップリ時間が使えるのでお得なツアーだと思います。

The plan packed with kayaking, caving, snorkeling, and SUP was a great choice, even though I had some concerns about my physical stamina.

I was able to enjoy everything efficiently, and since we had a leisurely lunch at a recommended restaurant by our guide, I didn't feel too tired.

I didn't have high expectations for the Pumpkin Cave, but it turned out to be my favorite activity. Inside, it's a very mystical place, and there are unique experiences like climbing with ropes and jumping into the sea that I highly recommend!

During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle and even got to take photos up close!

Lying on the SUP and looking at the blue sky and sea was also a wonderful experience!

It was the best day. Thank you for taking so many photos!

カヤック&ケイビング&シュノーケル＆SUPと盛りだくさんのプランは、体力的に不安がありましたが、このプランにして正解でした。

効率良く楽しめたし、ガイドさんのおすすめのお店でゆっくりランチもできたので、それほど疲れは感じませんでした。

パンプキン鍾乳洞は、あまり期待してませんでしたが、一番お気に入りのアクティビティでした。
中はとても神秘的な場所なのに、ロープで登ったり、海に飛び込んだりとココでしかできない体験もありオススメです！

シュノーケルでは、ウミガメと出会うことができ、近くで写真も撮れてラッキーでした！

SUPの上に寝転んで、青い空と海を見ている時間も良かったです！

最高の1日でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがとうございました。

It was great for our family of five, including a small child, to enjoy the experience. We were able to see the corals and fish underwater in a transparent kayak. The photos and drone footage turned out beautifully, and we received the data, creating wonderful memories in photos and videos.

家族5人で参加小さい幼児も一緒に楽しめて、透明なカヤックで海の中のサンゴや魚が見れて良かったです。
写真撮影からドローン撮影も素敵に取れてデーターももらえて素敵な思い出写真映像になりました。

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Miyakojima Pumpkin Cave Tour, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. The natural beauty of the cave, combined with the well-organized tour, made for an exceptional experience.

The tour was both thrilling and educational. The guide was knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the cave's formation and history. The Pumpkin Cave itself is a natural wonder, with its unique rock formations.

One of the highlights of the tour was the stunning cave scenery. This hidden cave located by the beach was so marvelous and the scenery of the stalactites was so beautiful. The guide's enthusiasm and expertise added to the experience, making it both enjoyable and informative. I also appreciated the small group size, which allowed for a more personalized experience and the opportunity to ask questions. The guide is also very good at English, so no need to worry about communication.

The shoes and safety gear will be provided and the ground is not as slippery as I expected. A flashlight will also be prepared by the tour, so no need to prepare it in advance. Lastly, be prepared for a bit of physical activity, as some parts of the tour require rowing to the cave and climbing in the cave. (Not tough at all!)

Overall, the Miyakojima Pumpkin Cave Tour is a must-do for anyone visiting the area. It's a unique and memorable experience that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of Miyakojima's landscape.

One of the highlights of the tour was the stunning cave scenery. This hidden cave located by the beach was so marvelous and the scenery of the stalactites was so beautiful. The guide's enthusiasm and expertise added to the experience, making it both enjoyable and informative. I also appreciated the small group size, which allowed for a more personalized experience and the opportunity to ask questions. the guide is also very good at english so no need to worry about communication.

The shoes and safety gears will be provides and the ground is not that slippery than i expected. flashlight will be also prepared by tour so no need to prepare it in advance.
Lastly, be prepared for a bit of physical activity, as some parts of the tour require rowing to the cave and climbing in the cave. (not tough one at all!)

Overall, the Miyakojima Pumpkin Cave Tour is a must-do for anyone visiting the area. It's a unique and memorable experience that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of Miyakojima's landscape.

This time, I couldn't find time during the day, so I signed up for the Sunrise Canoe, and it was the perfect choice!
1. The sunrise was incredibly beautiful.
2. It was cool.
3. I could enjoy nature and have the guide all to myself (it was not crowded).
4. The tranquility of the morning brought a unique sense of nature, with the sounds of wildlife.
5. It was a great use of time (I was able to participate before taking the 9:00 boat back).

Both guides were kind and shared a lot of interesting knowledge about plants and animals. I learned so much about the nature of Iriomote. They took many photos, and all of them were really great! Thank you, Hayata and Shun!

今回、日中に時間がとれなくてサンライズカヌーに申し込みましたが、これが大正解でした＾＾
①朝焼けがめちゃくちゃ綺麗　
②涼しい
③自然とガイドさんを独占できる（空いている）
④朝ならではの静けさの中の自然感、鳴き声とか
⑤時間の有効活用（9:00発の船で帰る前に参加できた）
ガイドさんはお二人とも親切で、植物や動物のいろんな知識を教えてくれて面白かったです。西表の自然のことたくさん知れました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださって、どれもすごく良い写真でした！
はやたさん、しゅんさんありがとうございました！

I requested a tour on Miyako Island for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles nearby! Our sea kayaking with friends went well too! The Pumpkin Cave was beyond my imagination, and I experienced the incredible power of nature up close; it was an extraordinary experience! That was truly amazing!!

The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, sharing various knowledge that was educational, and I created wonderful memories. They took photos from angles that we definitely couldn't have captured ourselves, and I was very satisfied with the results!

Thank you so much!

初めての宮古島でツアーをお願いしました^_^
近くでウミガメも見れたし！友達とのシーカヤックも上手くいったし！パンプキン鍾乳洞は想像以上で、自然の凄さを間近で感じる事が出来る、非日常感ハンパない体験が出来ました！本当にあれは凄い！！

スタッフさんも気さくに話しかけてくれて、色んな知識を教えてくれて勉強にもなったし素敵な思い出ができました^_^
写真も自分達だけでは絶対に取れないアングルから撮ってくれたりと大満足の仕上がりです♪

ありがとうございました〜〜♪♪
