All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

They kindly accommodated my last-minute reservation the day before. On the day of the activity, my younger child (2 years old) was a bit scared, so I thought we wouldn't be able to participate, but they interacted gently with my child and suggested various ways to enjoy the ride, allowing us to have a great time together.

I was also pleased that they changed our reservation to low tide, and since we were in a clear kayak, we could see plenty of fish, and even got to see Nemo up close, which made the kids very happy! The weather was great, and there was drone filming, so we received plenty of images at the end, leaving us very satisfied.

前日の急な予約にも丁寧に対応していただけました♪
当日、下の子（2歳）が少し怖がっていたので出来ないと思っていましたが優しく子供に接して頂き、いろんな乗り方の提案もして頂け子供と楽しく乗る事が出来ました(^^)
干潮時間に予約変更をしてもらえた事とクリアカヤックだったので魚もいっぱい見れて、更にニモも間近で見る事ができ子供達も大喜びでした‼︎
天気も良くドローンの撮影もあり、最後に画像もたっぷりいただけ大満足でした(^_^)

In early September, I had a clear kayak experience at Imugya Marine Garden in Miyako Island. There was a little rain, but the sea was clear, and there were photos taken by drones and staff, which made me very satisfied. Upon arrival, the staff helped with pre-checks and luggage management. It became a wonderful memory.

9月の上旬に宮古島のイムギャーマリンガーデンでクリアカヤック体験をしました。少し雨もぱらつきましたが、海も透明で、ドローンやスタッフによる撮影もあり、とても満足しました。
到着したら、スタッフによる事前確認や荷物の管理などをしてもらいます。とてもいい思い出になりました。

I went stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. The sea was crystal clear and very beautiful. I was able to see many creatures up close, such as sea turtles and clownfish. All the instructors were very kind. It became a wonderful memory! If I have the opportunity to come to Miyako Island again, I would like to use their services again!

サップとシュノーケリングをやりました。
海が透き通っていてとても綺麗でした。
ウミガメやカクレクマノミなど、たくさんの生き物たちを間近で見ることができました。
インストラクターの方々は全員親切でした。
とてもいい思い出になりました！
また宮古島に来る機会があったら、また利用させていただきたいです！

We participated as a couple, and a guide was with us the whole time!

The weather was beautifully clear, and we started with the mangrove tour!

Our guide, Ryusei, explained about the mangroves, and the atmosphere was relaxed with casual conversations. The quiz about our hometowns was too difficult, though!

After that, we went to a sea with high transparency and enjoyed watching the sunset.

The temperature was pleasant for autumn, and all the daily stress just melted away.

On the way back, we had a speed contest with Ryusei and he recommended some great restaurants and spots, making our return to port enjoyable. In the end, we were satisfied to receive free photos as well.

夫婦2人で参加させていただきましたが、
ガイドの方が1人ついてずっと案内してくれました！

天気も綺麗に晴れて、
マングローブツアーからスタート！

ガイドのリュウセイさんにマングローブのご説明から、
雑談など終始和やか。出身地クイズ、難しすぎます笑

その後、透明度の高い海に行って、
サンセットをボケーっと眺めます。

秋で気持ちいい気温で、
日頃のストレス、溶けていきます。

帰りはリュウセイさんとスピード勝負したり、
おすすめのご飯屋さんやスポットを教えてもらったり
楽しく帰港。
最後は写真まで無料でもらえて満足でした。

I used this service with a friend. Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather, we still had a great time snorkeling and on the mangrove tour with SUP (^ ^). It was my first time on a SUP, but the guide taught us how to paddle and gave us tips, so both my friend and I were able to stand up and ride it right away♪♪ The nature of Ishigaki Island was, of course, wonderful, but the guides were the best!! They were all very kind and took many great photos, which I've looked back on many times☆ I definitely want to join this tour again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

友達と2人で利用させていただきました。当日は天気の影響で青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが、それでも、シュノーケリングと、SUPでのマングローブツアーで十分楽しませていただきました(^ ^)SUPに乗るのは初めてでしたが、ガイドの方がしっかりと漕ぎ方やコツを教えて下さり、ワタシも友達も、すぐに立ち上がって乗ることができました♪♪石垣島の自然ももちろん良かったのですが、ガイドの方々最高でした！！みなさんとても親切で、素敵な写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、何度も見返しています☆ぜひまた石垣島に行く際にはこちらのツアーに参加させていただきたいです！

Everyone was kind and had a great personality. I was able to enjoy myself without worry. I was satisfied with the photos, drone footage, and the final edited video I received. It's great that I could get it right away via AirDrop. I would recommend this to my friends.

みなさん優しく人柄の良い方ばかりでした。
安心して楽しめました。写真やドローン撮影、最後にはまとめた動画もいただき満足でした。エアドロップですぐにもらえるのもいいですね。友達に勧めたいです。

This time, I requested the sea turtle snorkeling and SUP plan. Since it was my first time on a SUP, I was a bit anxious, but the staff provided thorough explanations beforehand, and they accompanied us throughout, allowing me to enjoy it without any worries. It was very convenient that we could borrow everything, including life jackets and diving shoes. They took many wonderful photos and videos, which became great memories! The sea in Miyako Island is truly beautiful, and I was able to meet adorable baby sea turtles, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to request this again the next time I visit. Thank you very much!

今回は、ウミガメシュノーケリング＆SUPのプランをお願いさせていただきました。SUPは初めてなので少し不安もありましたが、丁寧に事前説明いただけ、終始お二人のスタッフの方が付いてくださり、不安なく楽しむことができました。
ライフジャケットやダイビングシューズなど全てお借りする事が出来るので、とても便利でした。
思ってた以上に、たくさん素敵な写真も動画も撮っていただけ、とても良い思い出になりました！
宮古島の海は本当に綺麗で、可愛い子供のウミガメに出会え、最高のひと時を過ごすことができました。次回来た時もまた、お願いしたいです。
ありがとうございました！

Four years ago, I planned a trip to Miyako Island. I thought it would remain a dream because of COVID, but this time, my dream came true. I participated alone, but later an instructor joined us, providing various explanations. Most importantly, they filmed us doing clear kayaking with a drone, and at the end, I received an edited video that looked just like a promotional video. After watching it, two of my friends immediately made reservations for the clear kayaking experience the next day. All three of us were very satisfied, and when we showed the video to our family and friends, everyone said they were envious and wanted to try it too. The president and all the staff were friendly, making it a wonderful commemorative trip for us, even as a group of women in our sixties.

4年前に計画していた宮古島の旅。コロナで行けず、夢のままかと思っていたら、今回、夢が叶いました。1人で参加だったのですが、後にイントラの方が乗ってくれて、色々説明してくださったり、何と言っても、ドローンでクリアカヤックをやっている所を撮影してもらえ、最後に編集した、まるでPVのようなのをいただけて、それを見た友人2人、その場で次の日の予約を入れクリアカヤック体験しました。3人共、大満足で家族や友人にPVを見せると、皆、羨ましい〜。やりた〜い。と言ってます。社長さんもスタッフの人達も皆、フレンドリーで還暦おばさんの私達に接してくれ最高の記念旅になりました。

We had a guide named Yuka who took care of us. She was attentive to our health and equipment, and even though we hadn't been in the ocean for over ten years and felt a bit anxious, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. It was also appreciated that she waited for participants who were late or had drifted away before providing information to everyone.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but we were able to see clownfish and various other fish and creatures, which was satisfying enough.

During the SUP, I fell into the sea a few times, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to stand up, so I think even those like me who aren't very good with core strength can enjoy it.

The meeting point was a bit hard to understand. I was informed about the meeting location the day before, but I couldn't answer the phone due to travel, so I ended up receiving a text message. I appreciated the text message, but the parking area at the meeting point was large, and there were other tour groups as well, so I would have liked to have some kind of landmark provided. I think it would be good for future participants to confirm in advance via phone or text message.

ユカさんというガイドさんに付いていただきました。体調や器具のことなど色々気にしてくださり、10年以上海に入ったことなどなく、少し不安だった私たちでも安心して楽しむことができました。また見どころでは遅れたり離れた参加者でもきちんと待ってから全員に教えてくれたのでありがたかったです。

シュノーケリングでは残念ながらウミガメに遭遇はできませんでしたが、クマノミやその他様々な魚や生き物を見ることができたので十分満足できました。

SUPでは私は何度か海に落ちましたが、慣れれば立つこともできたので、体幹の良くない私のような方でも楽しむことができると思います。

集合については少しだけわかりにくかったです。集合場所は前日のご連絡とのことでしたが、前日は移動で電話に出ることができず、ショートメールでの連絡となってしまいました。ショートメールで連絡いただけただけでもありがたいのですが、集合場所の駐車場は広く、また他のツアーの方々もいらっしゃったので、目印のようなものも併せて教えていただきたかったです。今後参加される方は、電話やショートメールで事前に確認されると良いかと思います。

I went snorkeling first, and as soon as I entered the water, I was able to see a sea turtle up close, which was very cute. When the sunlight hit the water, the fish sparkled and it looked like a different world, it was beautiful. Stand-up paddleboarding was a first-time experience for me, but the staff explained everything carefully and took a lot of photos, so I was able to stand up without any issues. I had a valuable experience and I am very satisfied. I also liked Miyako Island, so I definitely want to use this service again.

シュノーケリングを先にしましたが、海に入ってすぐに凄く間近でウミガメが見ることができて、見ていて、とても可愛かったです。また海中に日があたると魚がキラキラ輝いて見えて、まるで別世界で綺麗でした。サップは初めての体験でしたが担当者も一つ一つ、丁寧に説明して下さり、写真もたくさん撮って下さったので、問題なく立つことが出来たし、貴重な体験ができて、大変満足しています。宮古島も気に入ったので、また是非利用したいと思っています。

In the morning, I participated in snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I joined a SUP session. The weather was nice, and it seemed like the sea was very clear, which made for wonderful memories.

Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, there were plenty of clownfish, and I was able to take photos with them.

Since I was a beginner at SUP, I was a bit anxious about whether I could do it well, but I was able to progress slowly and felt reassured while trying. I was happy to be able to paddle while standing.

Hajime and Miyu were in charge of our activities. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!

午前中にシュノーケリング、午後にSUPに参加しました。天気が良く、海の透明度も高い日だったようで、とても良い思い出ができました^ ^
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメに会うことはできませんでしたが、カクレクマノミが沢山いて一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
SUPは、初心者だったので上手くできるか不安もありましたが、ゆっくり進めていただけて安心して挑戦できました。立って漕ぐことが出来て嬉しかったです。
はじめさんとみゆさんに担当していただきました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

I went to Tōro Station by rental car and parked in the free parking lot next to the station, where I met with the guide. I had a reservation for 12:00, but we departed 30 minutes late after meeting up. We had coordinated the timing and details via email in advance.

The day before the experience, it rained, so the water level was higher, but the current was calm, allowing us to paddle quietly. Since our timing was off by 30 minutes, we didn’t have to wait in line with other canoe companies. We paddled quietly in one canoe, and the guide explained that he would adjust our direction. On the day of the experience, we encountered a herd of Ezo deer, a kingfisher, a pair of red-crowned cranes, a white-tailed eagle, and even a red fox on the distant railway. We saw the herd of Ezo deer multiple times, and a mink crossed in front of our canoe. We were busy taking photos of the abundant wildlife, so I mostly left the paddling to the guide.

After the canoeing, we were taken to the Nihonmatsu Observatory. It felt like a viewpoint frequented by locals, and I don’t think there were any stairs. It was a small mountain, and it felt a bit desperate as we climbed, almost slipping on the slope. Once we reached the top and looked back, we were greeted with a magnificent view of the vast wetlands stretching far into the distance.

Both experiences were wonderful, but there was a massive mosquito outbreak, so insect repellent and long-sleeved clothing were essential. When we went to the Nihonmatsu Observatory, I changed into the rubber boots provided by the guide and wrapped a towel around my neck for complete protection. We were then driven back to Tōro Station, concluding the day. The guide was very friendly, and the conversation was interesting, making for a fun time. Thank you very much.

レンタカーで塘路駅へ行き　駅の横の駐車場(無料)へ停めて　ガイドさんと待ち合わせ　12時予約しましたが　30分遅れの出発で待ち合わせし出発しました　時間などの調整やり取りはメールで事前に打ち合わせしました
　
　体験前日は雨が降ったので水かさが増していましたが　流れは穏やかでしたので　静かにこぐ感じで進みました。
時間が30分ずれていたので 他のカヌー会社の方と並ぶこともなく　一艘で静かに櫓をこいで　ガイドさんが方向を調整するとの説明でしたが、当日は　エゾシカの群れやカワセミ、丹頂鶴のつがい、オオワシ、遠くの線路の上をキタキツネ、またエゾシカの群れ何度も遭遇、また丹頂鶴つがい、ミンクがカヌーの前を横切り、最後にエゾシカと盛りだくさんの野生の動物に遭遇し、写真撮影に忙しく　漕ぐのはほとんどガイドさん任せになってしまいました。

カヌーが終わった後は　二本松展望台に案内して頂きました　現地の人が行く展望台と言う感じで　階段はなかったと思います。小さい山で山肌を滑りそうになりながら昇るといった感じで　やや必死でした。昇りきって振り替えると　壮大な湿原が遠くまで見渡せて素晴らしい眺めでした。

どちらもとても素晴らしかったのですが　蚊が大量発生していて　虫除けと長袖服は必須で　二本松展望台に行くときも　ガイドさんが用意してくれた長靴にはきかえて　首にタオルを巻き完全防備で行きました。帰りは塘路駅まで送って頂き終了となりました。
とても気さくなガイドさんで　話す内容も面白く楽しい時間でした。ありがとうございました。

I went on a family trip with my parents. It had been a while since I traveled with them since becoming a working adult, and we created the best memories together on Iriomote Island, making it a fulfilling day!

In the morning, we fully absorbed the power of nature through a mangrove tour and trekking! In the afternoon, during the transfer to Yubu Island, we had many enjoyable conversations, making it a fun tour.

The staff were young and full of energy, and their excellent service contributed to a really enjoyable experience. I felt that Iriomote Island still has so much charm, and I definitely want to come back again. Thank you very much!

両親と家族旅行で行かせて頂きました。社会人になってからなかなか両親と行けなかった旅行で西表島で
家族で、最高の思い出を作らせて頂き、充実した一日になりました！
午前はマングローブツアーとトレッキングで自然の力を存分に吸収することができました！
午後は由布島へ送迎時にも沢山のお話を聞かせて貰い、楽しいツアーになりました。
スタッフのみなさんも若い活気のある感じ、エネルギーを貰いながら、対応も凄くよく楽しいツアーになりました。
西表島にまた来たいとまだまだ魅力がある島だと思えました。必ずまた来させて頂きます。
ありがとうございました

I participated in a tour because I wanted to see the Pinaisara Falls on my first solo trip. To sum it up, I enjoyed it more than I had imagined! The guide, Mr. Hoshi, was very attentive to each participant, so I never felt uncomfortable being alone. The photos were beautifully taken, making for wonderful memories. When I go to Iriomote Island again, I will ask Mr. Kazaguruma to guide me!

初めての一人旅でピナイサーラの滝が見たいという思いでツアーに参加しました。
結論から言うと想像以上に楽しめました！
今回ガイドしていただいた星さんはツアー客1人1人に配慮を徹底しており、1人の参加で苦になることがありませんでした。
写真も綺麗に撮影していただき最高の思い出になりました。
また、西表島に行くときは風車さんに案内してもらいます！

The weather was great, and it was the best experience. I think it's definitely worth a visit for anyone planning to go nearby. It didn't require much physical strength, so it felt like anyone could participate.

天候にも恵まれ、最高の体験でした。近くに行く予定がある方は是非一度行ってみる価値はあると思います。
特に体力は必要ないので誰でも参加できる感じでした。

I was worried about kayaking for the first time, but I was able to paddle happily thanks to the guide's lecture. They took a lot of photos in various situations, which became wonderful memories. Although it was a bit disappointing that the changing area was a tent and there was no shower, the fun experience was more than enough thanks to Tommy (the guide).

初めてのカヤックで心配でしたが、ガイドさんのレクチャーの元楽しく漕ぐ事ができました。
写真も色んなシュチュエーションで沢山撮ってくださり、凄くいい思い出になりました。
着替えの場所がテントだったり、シャワーが浴びれなかったりと少し設備面では残念なところもありましたが、それを上回る位、トミー(ガイドさん)のお陰で楽しい旅となりました。

The mangrove cruise was a highly satisfying tour that allowed me to fully enjoy the atmosphere of Iriomote Island. Although I participated alone, the guide and other participants were very friendly and engaged with me, making it a lot of fun. I heard that SUP can be difficult for beginners, so I chose to go with a canoe, but it looked like everyone was able to stand and paddle by the end, so I want to challenge myself with SUP next time.

In the afternoon, those who stayed on Iriomote Island experienced clear skies, but it was pouring rain on Yubu Island due to a squall. It was a great experience, characteristic of a region where the weather can change rapidly.

マングローブクルーズは西表島の雰囲気を堪能出来る大満足のツアーでした。
一人参加でしたがガイドさんや他の参加者さんも色々と声を掛けてくださりとても楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
初心者だとSUPは難しいと聞いてカヌーにしましたが、SUPも皆さん最後には立って漕げるようになっていて楽しそうだったので次はSUPに挑戦したいと思います。

午後そのまま西表島にいた方達は快晴だったそうですが、由布島はスコール？でどしゃ降りでした。笑
それも天気の変わりやすい地域ならではで良い体験になりました。

This time I traveled alone, and although many activities require two or more participants, I was able to join as a single participant, which turned out to be my best memory.

First of all, the kindness of the staff was remarkable. Their polite language and concern for whether I was feeling seasick or tired made a big difference.

The kayak was completely transparent, allowing me to see the underwater world clearly while paddling. I could place my smartphone at my feet to capture videos of the fish swimming around.

During the experience, they frequently took photos and videos, and even captured aerial footage with a drone, which they provided after the activity, making for great keepsakes. I was especially happy with the edited video they created.

If I have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to use their services once more.

**For those planning to participate:**
- They provide free waterproof cases for smartphones, so I didn't have to prepare one myself.
- Even if it's your first time kayaking, they explain the tips at the beginning, so there's no need to worry.
- Sun protection is essential, and it's a good idea to have sunglasses.
- If you're using an iPhone, they will transfer the shooting data via AirDrop.
- The location is determined considering the weather, and you will be contacted the evening before. In my case, it was held at Imugya Marine Garden.

　今回は一人旅で、多くのアクティビティが2名以上の参加の中、1人でも参加できるということで申し込みましたが、この度一番の思い出になりました。
　まずはスタッフの皆さんの優しさあふれる接客態度。言葉遣いも丁寧で、船酔いしていないか、疲れていないかも気にかけてくれました。
　カヤックは全面透明なので、漕ぎながら海中を鮮明に見ることができ、足下にスマホをおいて動画撮影すると魚なども動きながら撮影することが出来ます。
　また体験中はこまめに写真や動画、さらにドローンで上空からの動画も撮影していただき、終了後にデータをいただけるので、記念になります。
　特に1本に編集された動画データは非常にうれしかったです。
　また宮古島に行く機会があれば次も利用したいと思いました。

※これから参加を予定されている方への参考に
・スマホの防水ケースを無料で貸し出ししてくれるので、自分で準備しなくてよかったです。
・カヤックは初めてでもコツを最初に説明してくれるので心配不要です。
・日焼け対策必須です。サングラスもあった方がいいです。
・撮影データはiPhoneの場合AirDropで転送してくれます。
・開催場所は天候等考慮され、前日の夕方に連絡されます。私の場合はイムギャーマリンガーデンで実施されました。

Sadly, the ocean condition didn't allow us to do snorkeling in the famous blue cave. They called us in the morning to let us know if the condition was okay or not. They let us choose either snorkeling in another spot or just do kayaking in the mangrove area. Since we had done scuba diving in the alternative spot previously, we decided to do only kayaking.

It was a very relaxing and fun kayaking tour along the mangroves! We could choose either kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP). My friend chose SUP instead. The instructor had good knowledge about nature (of course including mangroves) and he taught us details all along. I appreciate that he took pictures of us during the tour and gave them (more than 100 pics!) to us.

Highly recommend!

I participated in the 2-hour course. It was fun, as others have commented, but I found it to be harder than I expected. For a beginner in my 50s, it was quite tough, and I ended up with muscle soreness the next day. The detailed lectures were very helpful. I heard that the river conditions change depending on the season, so I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

２時間コースで参加しました
他のコメント通り、楽しかったのですが
思っていた以上にハードに感じました
50歳代の初心者には結構キツく、翌日には筋肉痛になってしまいました
丁寧にレクチャーして頂き、とても助かりました
時期によって、河川が変わるとのことで機会があったらまた、参加させて頂きたいと思いました

I was pregnant, but I thought it would be a shame not to enjoy the sea of Miyako Island, so I requested to participate.
Before the tour, I received considerate messages regarding my pregnancy, and on the day of the tour, there were many staff members who kindly checked in on me, allowing me to participate in the tour with peace of mind!
All the staff were very kind, and I truly felt the warmth of people's kindness; I think it was the best tour ever.
Also, in the clear kayak, I was able to fully enjoy the high transparency of the sea in Miyako Island, and I was extremely satisfied!
Additionally, the many photos and drone shots taken were amazing, and at the end, they edited the videos and photos into one video as a gift, which was incredibly touching! Even now that the trip is over, I keep revisiting the video and photos. It has truly become a wonderful memory! Thank you so much! ♪

マタニティだったのですが、せっかくなので、宮古島の海を楽しみたい！と思い、参加をお願いしました。
参加前から、マタニティということでお気遣いのご連絡を頂いたり、当日はスタッフの人数も多く、優しいお声かけをいただき、安心してツアーに参加できました！
スタッフの皆さんとても優しい方で、人の優しさに触れることができ、本当に最高のツアーだと思いました。
そして、クリアカヤックでは、宮古島の透明度の高い海の中を思う存分見ることができ、大大大満足でした！
また、お撮りくださったたくさんの写真やドローンの撮影も最高で、なんと最後に動画や写真を編集し一つの動画にしてプレゼントしてくださり、とっても感動しました！旅行が終わった今も、何度も動画や写真を見返しています。本当にいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました♪

I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was my first time, but thanks to the exciting talks and reassuring support, I had a very enjoyable day. I was happy to feel the great nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you very much. I would love to join the tour again and fully enjoy Iriomote Island!

シュノーケリングとsupを体験しました。初めての体験でしたがワクワクするようなトークと安心できるサポートのおかげでとても楽しい一日でした。西表島の大自然を感じることができて嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。また、ツアー参加して西表島を堪能したいです！

I was anxious since everything was new to me, but I think those who, like me, choose this tour based on a gut feeling will be captivated by the charm of Mr. Tawak. Thanks to the safety measures, judgment, and various preparations, even the thunderstorm became a fun memory. Since it was my first day on the island and I participated in the tour, I was able to talk with acquaintances who have visited Yakushima dozens of times, which made my experience on the island even more enjoyable. I want to go back soon, so until then, I will do my best at work! I am eagerly aiming to set off fireworks in Yakushima someday.

何もかもが初めてで不安もありましたが、わたしを含めてビビッと直感でこのツアーを選ぶようなタイプの方は、ゆるくも深い田脇さんの魅力の虜になると思います！安全対策や判断、様々な事前準備のおかげで雷雨も楽しい思い出のひとつになりました。来島後初日のツアー参加だったので、屋久島に数十回は来られているお知り合いの方たちともお話できたことで、その後の屋久島をより楽しめました。またすぐにでも行きたいので、それまでは日々のお仕事を頑張ります！いつか屋久島の花火を上げたいと虎視眈々と狙っております。

They also provided advice on seasickness and motion sickness from snorkeling, and they subtly checked on my condition, which made me feel very reassured about participating. The sea was very calm and beautiful, so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries.

They recommended some great restaurants and bento shops, and their explanations were clear and thorough. After our lunch break, I chatted with other participants about what we had eaten, creating a very friendly atmosphere in the group.

For the canoe or SUP and mangrove tour experience in the afternoon, I think it’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. The final activity was an exceptionally pleasant experience. Since there was also a trekking element, I was able to connect with the nature of Iriomote Island, and thanks to our knowledgeable guide, I really grew to love the island.

The guides from pipi were mostly young, but I felt that each one of them had a pleasant demeanor and was very trustworthy.

Thank you to Yuuma and everyone at pipi for a wonderful time.

They also took plenty of photos of each participant group during the tour (the camera angles were fantastic), allowing us to focus on having fun.

*For those going to the mangroves, it might be better to avoid sleeveless tops and having insect repellent spray could be helpful. I got bitten by mosquitoes ten times on one arm alone!

船酔いやシュノーケルの波酔いの相談も受けてくれて、さり気なく体調を気にかけて頂き、とても安心して参加できました。
とても穏やかで綺麗な海だったので、心配もどこ吹く風で楽しく過ごせました。

おすすめの定食屋さんやお弁当屋さんも教えてくださり、わかりやすく丁寧で。お昼休憩の後にグループが一緒になった参加者の方と、何を食べたかの話をしたりと、とても和やかな雰囲気のグループとなりました。

午後からのカヌーorSUP、マングローブツアー体験は是非濡れても良い格好で参加されると良いと思います。
最後のお楽しみは格別に気持ちの良い体験となります◎
トレッキングの要素も含まれていたので、西表島の自然に触れ合うことができ、知識の豊富なガイドさんのおかげで島のことがとっても好きになりました。

pipiさんのガイドの方は若い方が多く見られましたが、どの人も気持ちの良い雰囲気でしっかりと信頼のおける方達だと感じました。

担当のユウマさんはじめ、pipiの皆様。楽しい時間をありがとうございます。

ツアー中の写真も各参加グループごとにたくさん撮ってくれるので(カメラアングルも素晴らしい)集中して遊べます♪

※マングローブに行く方は、ノースリーブは控えて、虫除けスプレーがあると良いかもしれません。片腕だけで10ヶ所しっかりと蚊に食われました笑

I went with a 3-year-old and a 7-year-old, and we were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves. We received plenty of photos, and there were also aerial shots taken with a drone. I was very satisfied with the amount of data we received!

３歳児と７歳児連れでしたが、ゆったりと時間も取って頂き、写真はもちろん、ドローンでの空撮もあり、データもたくさん貰えて大満足でした！

It was my first time on Iriomote Island! I was able to do everything I wanted in one day on the Mangrove Barasu Island course✨ The explanations about the island and the plants were fascinating, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun experience♪

初めての西表島でした！
マングローブ・バラス島のコースで、1日でやりたかったことができました✨
島や植物の説明なども興味深く、ガイドさんたちもとっても親切で楽しむことができました♪

The weather was perfect, and the views were amazing, making this my best memory in Miyako Island! The instructor was very kind, and I felt safe during the experience! I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! The clownfish, in particular, was cute and left a strong impression on me. The scenery while paddleboarding was wonderful, and falling into the sea from the paddleboard felt refreshing because the water was cool. Everything was just fantastic! I want to experience it again when I come back to Miyako Island! ☺️☺️☺️

最高の天気、最高の景色で宮古島に来て1番の思い出になりました！
インストラクターさんもとっても優しく、安心して体験が出来ました！シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました！特にクマノミは可愛くて印象に残っています。サップでは素敵な景色が見ることができ、またサップから海に落ちるのは海が冷たくて気持ちよかったです。とにかく全てが最高でした！
また宮古島に来たら体験したいです☺️☺️☺️

I participated in the shuttle service from New Chitose Airport. The meeting point was a bit hard to find, and the map provided had a low resolution, making it almost unreadable. It's located at the far end of the arrival floor on the JAL side, so it takes a little time to get there from the ANA side.

We practiced in a wide area of the river up to halfway, and the hour went by in no time, so if there are no constraints, I recommend two hours. The second half of the course has a narrower river width, and the current gets a bit faster, so you might get swept away a little. The river isn't very deep, so the danger level is low. It was a fun activity where you can enjoy the nature typical of Hokkaido.

新千歳空港送迎で参加しました。集合場所が少し分かりにくいし、こちらの地図が解像度低くほぼよめません。JAL側の到着フロアの端っこなんでANA側からは少し時間かかります。

スタート地点から半分までの川幅が広いエリアで練習、1時間はあっというまに終わりますので、制約がないなら2時間がおすすめ。後半半分は川幅も狭く、流れが少し早くなるので、少し流され気味になります。川はそんなに深くはないので、危険度は低いです。北海道らしい自然を味わえる楽しいアクティビティでした。

With the guidance of a friendly guide, I was able to learn about the ecology of mangroves and various information surrounding them that I didn't know before.

親切なガイドさんの案内で、知らなかったマングローブの生態や、マングローブを取り巻く様々な情報を知ることが出来ました。

I participated in a mangrove canoe and Blue Cave snorkeling tour! The weather was perfect, and I was healed by the great nature of the mangroves, caves, and sea✨
I had experienced canoeing before, but it had been a while, so I was worried about how well I could paddle. However, the wind was calm, making it very easy to paddle, and most importantly, the guidance and instructions from the guides were precise, allowing me to enjoy the experience with great peace of mind!
The Blue Cave, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, didn't quite match the colors I had imagined due to the cloudy weather, but inside the cave was very mystical, and I had a wonderful experience!
There were many different fish while snorkeling, and it was a lot of fun. I tried free diving while wearing a life jacket, but it was definitely harder than it looked for the guides.
The guides took many photos of each moment of today's various experiences, allowing me to look back on the wonderful memories of the trip!

All the guides were kind and handsome, and they shared delicious places and ways to enjoy Ishigaki Island, making me feel that choosing this tour was a great decision✨

マングローブでカヌー＆青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました！お天気にも恵まれて、マングローブと洞窟、海の大自然に癒やされました〜✨
カヌーは以前も体験したことがありましたが、だいぶ前だったので上手く漕げるか不安でしたが、風も穏やかでとっても漕ぎやすく、何よりガイドさん達のレクチャーと先導が的確でとても安心して楽しめました！
ずっと行きたかった青の洞窟は、お天気が曇っていたのでイメージの色とはいかなかったですが、洞窟の中はとっても神秘的で、素敵な体験ができました！
シュノーケルでもいろんな魚がいてとても楽しかったです。ライフジャケットを着たままでの素潜りに挑戦しましたが、ガイドさんのようにはやっぱり難しかったです。
今日のいろんな体験の一コマ一コマを写真でたくさん撮影してくれて、素敵な旅の思い出を振り返ることができました！

ガイドのみなさんも皆優しくてイケメンで、石垣島の美味しいお店や楽しみ方を教えてくれたりして、このツアーを選んで良かったなぁと思います✨
