All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

It was my first experience with SUP, so I was nervous, but before going out to sea, there was a simple lecture on how to use the paddle on land, which made it easy to challenge myself even as a beginner! The sea and the sunset were incredibly beautiful, and depending on the time, I could see various landscapes, from an orange sky to a pink sky, making it the best experience. Additionally, the guide was very kind and friendly, which made it enjoyable to participate, and they took beautiful photos as well. I highly recommend this activity!

SUPははじめての体験だったので緊張していましたが、海に出る前に陸でパドルの使い方などの簡単なレクチャーがあり、はじめてでも安心して挑戦することができました！海も夕日もとっても綺麗で、時間によってオレンジ色の空だったり、ピンク色の空など様々な景色を見ることができ、最高の体験になりました。また、ガイドさんがとっても親切かつフレンドリーな方だったので、楽しく参加することができ、写真も綺麗に撮っていただきました。とてもオススメのアクティビティです！

It was my first time doing SUP and watching the sunset in Miyako Island. The weather was nice from the morning, and I was a bit tired from the sun, but the gathering at around 6:00 PM was refreshing, and it was the best time swaying on the waves. The sunset viewed from the sea was amazing. The guide was happily taking photos, which was also fun. I definitely want to participate again. I highly recommend it!

宮古島では初めてのSUP、初めてのサンセットでした。
朝から天気が良く日差しにいささか疲れていましたが、18:00過ぎの集合で、涼しく、波に揺られて最高な時間でした。海から観る最高のサンセット。ガイドのお兄さんが楽しそうに写真を撮ってくださりそれもまた楽しかったです笑
またぜひ参加したいです。おススメです！

I am very satisfied with the experience, which exceeded my expectations. After receiving a briefing and borrowing marine shoes and life jackets in the parking lot, we walked to the kayak launch area. With only four small groups, they took the time to carefully take photos of each group. The staff member Yuto was a fun person who engaged with every group, easing our nerves with jokes, which helped create a friendly atmosphere for conversation among the groups. After a lecture on how to paddle the kayak, we paddled for about ten minutes to the entrance of the cave. Inside the cave, the water was cold and the space felt mystical. I was scared to jump in at the end, so I asked to start from a lower spot, but I appreciated that everyone could participate comfortably. There were some sharp stalactites overhead, and even with a handheld light, the ground was dark, so there was a risk of slipping or cutting yourself; it might be better to wear clothing with less exposure. Overall, it wasn't too strenuous, but I think it would be wise for elderly individuals or those with concerns about their legs and back to consult in advance for peace of mind.

They also sent the photos via LINE, and since we usually have few family pictures, it created wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

I highly recommend this tour.

期待以上の体験が出来てとても満足しています。駐車場でマリンシューズやライフジャケットを貸していただき説明を受けてから徒歩でカヤック乗り場へ。4組の少人数なので丁寧に一組ずつ写真撮影をしていただきました。スタッフのゆうとさんはどのグループにも満遍なく声をかけて冗談をまじえながら緊張をほぐして下さる楽しい方で、お陰でグループ同士でも会話が生まれるなど和やかな雰囲気でツアーを体験できました。カヤックの漕ぎ方などのレクチャーの後10分ほど漕いで鍾乳洞入口へ。鍾乳洞の中は水が冷たく神秘的な空間でした。最後飛び込むのが怖くて低い場所からにしてもらいましたが、ひとりひとり無理なく参加できるのもいいなと思いました。頭上の鍾乳石がやや鋭利な箇所もあったり、足元は手持ちライトがあっても暗いので滑ったり切ったりと怪我をしてしまうこともあるかもしれず、なるべく露出が少ないウェアにした方がいいかもしれません。基本的にはそこまでハードではないですが、ご年配の方や足腰に不安がある方は事前にご相談された方が安心かなと思いました。

写真もLINEで送って頂けて、家族で写っているものが普段少ないのでとっても素敵な思い出ができました。本当にありがとうございました。

おすすめのツアーです。

This time, we participated as a family of five. I was a bit worried since we had three children, including elementary school students and a preschooler, but they explained everything thoroughly, and we were able to start paddling right away.

The staff shared various stories with us, including the true meaning of the name "mangrove" and the origins of the weeds along the riverbank, while we leisurely paddled until we reached the estuary. Fortunately, in front of us was a bright red sunset, and behind us was a large rainbow. Swaying gently, I was truly moved by the wonderful scenery.

At the end, we paddled a bit in the darkness, which felt like a little adventure and was fun.

However, although it was easy, we had a slight mishap with the member arrangement. It was me (a man), two five-year-olds, my wife, and two elementary school students (sixth and fourth grade), but the three-person kayak was a bit heavy and difficult to maneuver, so we struggled a bit. I thought it might have been better to have just me, the five-year-old, and the fourth grader together. Even though the three-person kayak was heavy, I believe one person could have handled it just fine. Well, this may vary from person to person, so it's hard to say.

In any case, it was more enjoyable and moving than I expected, and of course, the staff's service was polite and fun. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.

今回家族5人で参加しました。
子供が3人で小学生と保育園児なので大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、丁寧に説明してもらい、すぐに漕ぎ出すことができました。
お店の方に、マングローブという名前の本当の意味や、川沿いになる雑草の由来まで、いろんな話を教えてもらいながら、ゆったりと漕いでいるうちに、河口に到着。
運のいいことに前には真っ赤な夕日が、後ろには大きな虹が出ていて、ゆらゆらと揺られながら、本当に素晴らしい景色に感動しました。
最後は少し暗闇の中を漕いでいくのですが、それもちょっとした冒険のようで楽しかったです。

ただ、簡単だったとはいえ、メンバー割は少々失敗しました。
私（男）と5歳児の二人、妻と小学生（6年と4年）だったのですが、3人艇は少々重く、操縦が難しかったようで、なかなかてこずってました。自分と5歳児と4年生の3人にしたほうが良かったではないかと思いました。
3人艇が重いとは言え、一人でも十分動かせたはずなので。
ま、このあたりは個人差があるので何とも言えませんが。

ともかく、予想以上に楽しく感動的で、もちろん、お店の方々の対応も丁寧で楽しく、本当におススメです。
ありがとうございました。

I thought we would be on a cruise with someone rowing for us, but it turned out to be a couple's cruise where we had to coordinate our efforts. It was challenging until we got in sync, but our guide, who was from Nepal, was fluent in Japanese and led us efficiently and enjoyably, making for a fun time. The occasional encounters with dangerous narrow spots added a thrilling element to the experience.

誰かに漕いでもらっての遊覧と思いきや、まさかの夫婦で息を合わせてのクルーズ。息が合うまで大変でしたが、ネパールの方でしたが日本語が堪能で、テキパキ楽しく導いてくださり、楽しい時間でした。時々遭遇する危険な狭い場所もスリルがあり楽しい体験させていただきました。

We participated with our 7-year-old and 10-year-old. It was our first time canoeing, and I was anxious about the preparations, but I received a phone call the day before, and they kindly answered all my questions, which made me feel very reassured.

On the day of the event, our 10-year-old got seasick on the ferry and unfortunately didn't recover for the rest of the day. Since it was just our family, they were very attentive to our child's condition and adjusted the pace, allowing us to move comfortably.

Canoeing was incredibly fun! When we reached the waterfall, our 7-year-old, who usually gets scared and doesn't want to go down slides, jumped into the water and had a great time playing energetically. The handmade Yaeyama soba we had there was warm and truly delicious. The pork was homemade by the wife, and it was tender and fantastic!

In the end, considering the children's condition, we decided not to go to Yubujima and took an early ferry back. They told us about Yamaneko Park and kindly drove us there. This park is a great place to relax, and it's close to Ohara Port. Our older child was able to lie down and sleep soundly until the ferry, which really improved their mood. The younger one found the Yamaneko slide a bit scary and gave up halfway, but they had a lot of fun playing in the park.

I apologize for the sudden health issues, but they handled everything very kindly, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I would be happy to try again if possible.

7歳、10歳の子連れで参加しました。カヌーは初めてで、どういった準備が正しいのか不安でしたが、前日にお電話を頂き、丁寧に質問に答えて頂いてとても安心しました。
当日は、10歳の子がフェリーで酔ってしまい、以後残念ながらずっと体調が快復しませんでした。今回は私達家族のみでしたので、とても細やかに体調を気遣って頂き、ペースも合わせて下さり無理のない動きが出来ました。

カヌーは最高に楽しかったです!滝つぼに着くと、7歳の子は普段は怖がってスライダーも滑りたがらない子ですが、この日はいっぱい水に飛び込んで本当に元気に楽しく遊べました。
ここで頂いた手作り八重山そばは温かくて、本当に美味しかったです。ソーキは奥様の手作りで、トロトロで最高でした!

結局、子どもの体調を考えて、由布島には渡らず早めのフェリーで帰る事にしました。ヤマネコパークがありますよと教えて頂き、そこまで送って貰いました。ここは本当にゆっくりできる公園で、大原港からも近く、上の子はフェリーまで横になってぐっすり眠れたので、かなり気分が改善できました。下の子も、ヤマネコの滑り台は怖くて途中でリタイアしましたが、公園で沢山遊べました。

急な体調不良でご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、とても丁寧に対応して頂いて、良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。またリベンジ出来たら嬉しいです。

I participated in the half-day course at the Pumpkin Cave on August 23rd!

Our guide, Yuma, was very interesting and kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable!

As a beginner in canoeing, there were some mishaps, and I apologize to my teammates for any trouble caused, but I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Miyako Island!

Thank you for everything!

8月23日にパンプキン鍾乳洞の半日コースに参加させて頂きました！

ガイドのゆうまさんがとても面白くて優しかったのでより一層楽しむ事が出来ました！

カヌー初心者だったのでハプニングありで同じチームの方々にご迷惑をお掛けしましたが又宮古島に来る際には是非参加したいと思います！

色々とありがとうございました！

It was my first time trying sea kayaking, and I was a bit worried, but both kids and adults had a great time!

Our guide, Keikun, taught us how to paddle the kayak carefully and explained about the Pumpkin Cave, which was very educational. Thank you!

The fact that you can only enter the cave from the sea adds to the sense of adventure!

Even my timid child seemed to enjoy it. It's a mysterious place where fresh water springs up in the ocean.

They also take photos at various points, so you can focus on the experience! If you're going to Miyako Island, I highly recommend it! It's definitely worth it!

シーカヤック初挑戦ですこし心配でしたが
子どもも大人もすごく楽しめました！

ガイドのけいくんが
丁寧にカヤックの漕ぎ方を教えてくれたり、

体験に集中できます！
宮古島に行く方は是非！行く価値アリです！

Snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning.
In the afternoon, we did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding.
It was a full-day course, and it ended so quickly because we had so much fun.
Our guide was Gakki.
Her powerful guidance was at just the right pace—not too fast and not too slow!
Thanks to her, we talked about so many things throughout the day about the ocean and the mangroves, making it an incredibly enjoyable day!
I made great memories on my first visit to Iriomote Island!

朝からバラス島シュノーケリング。
お昼からはマングローブsup。
一日コースでしたが楽しくあっという間に終わりました。
案内してくれたのはガッキーさん。
パワフルな彼女の案内ははやすぎず暇すぎず丁度良いスピードでした！
お陰様で海もマングローブも色んな事を終始お話ししてもらえてめっちゃくちゃ楽しい１日でした！
初めての西表島にいい思い出ができました！

I participated with my son (4th grade) and we had a great time all day! There were no complaints or issues. I highly recommend it. According to my son, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Ishigaki Island. If I had to mention something... the canoe tour gets your backside wet. It's brown. The cave tour requires you to wait under the blue sky. Everyone ends up sweating while waiting...

息子（小4）と父の二人で参加です。
終日、楽めましたよ！！特に不満もなく問題もないです。オススメです
息子曰く、今回の石垣島の一番は本件のツアーだったようです。
強いて言うと、、
カヌーツアーはお尻濡れます。茶色いです。
洞窟ツアーは青空のもと待ちます。皆様、汗だくになりながら待ちます。。

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with family in Miyako Island. When I asked what was the most fun part of our 3-night, 4-day trip during our last meal, everyone said, "Pumpkin Hall!" Especially, our guide Kei was really attentive, and our family praised him highly. With such careful service, it was an experience that exceeded our expectations, so I will definitely recommend it to everyone!

Even though we were in Miyako Island, we should have experienced this much earlier. Considering the possibility that we may not be able to participate again, I recommend joining as soon as possible.

結婚20周年記念日で、宮古島に家族できました。
3泊4日の最終日の食事の際に1番楽しかったのなに？ってきくと、パンプキンホール！との事。
特に担当してくれたけいくんが本当に対応がよくて、家族から絶賛でした。
丁寧な対応で、期待以上のツアーなので、みんなに宣伝します！

これほど宮古島にきてるのに、もっとはやく体験すべきでした。
保存を考え、今度入ることができない可能性もあるので、早めの参加をおすすめします。

Although it was drizzling on and off, the clarity of the water remained unchanged, making for a very beautiful kayaking experience. Our family participated with our pet, and the guide assisted us with putting the life jacket on our dog and was attentive throughout the experience. However, due to the bad weather, we couldn't have the experience on Lake Shikotsu for safety reasons, but we still had plenty of fun on the Chitose River flowing out from Lake Shikotsu.

小雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、水のクリア度に変わりがなくとてもキレイなカヤック体験となりました。
我が家はペット同伴での参加でしたが、ワンコのライフジャケット装着からガイドさんがアシストしてくださり、体験中も終始気にかけてくださりました。
ただ、悪天候でしたので支笏湖での体験は安全上の理由から出来ませんでしたが、支笏湖から流れ出す千歳川での体験でも充分楽しめました。

I signed up for snorkeling, and the visibility was even better than I expected; the time flew by! I was able to see sea turtles, and the staff took photos and sent them to me, so I was satisfied to have those memories captured. When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to sign up again!

シュノーケルを楽しみに申し込みましたが予想以上に透明度がすごく、あっという間の時間でした！ウミガメも見れたし、スタッフの方が写真撮って送ってくれたので思い出を写真で残すことができて満足！石垣島にもう一度くる時はまた申し込みたいなと思います！

I had a great time. After the start, I forgot to bring my paddle and had to wait for someone to bring it to me, but I think it was good that they extended the time because of that. There were many small children participating, so I felt it was difficult for one instructor to pay attention to everyone. I think it's better for parents to stay close to their children during the activity. The weather was nice, and it hardly rained, so overall, I was able to enjoy myself.

楽しかったです。開始後にパドルを持ってくるのをわすれて持ってきてもらう時間があり、少し待つことになりましたが、その分延長していただくことができたので良かったかと思います。小さいお子さんが多く参加していたので、全員に注意がいかずインストラクター1人での対応は難しいのではと思いました。子どもと参加される方は親がきちんとついてあげる方がいいと思います。天気も良く、雨はほとんど降らなかったので全体的には楽しむことが出来ました。

The diving where I met a sea turtle was great, but above all, the Pumpkin Cave was amazing. It was an experience that you absolutely cannot enjoy without a wonderful guide, and I recommend it for those who are physically fit!

SUP、ウミガメに会えたダイビングも良かったですが、何よりパンプキン鍾乳洞はすごかったです。
素晴らしいガイドさんなしでは絶対に味わえない体験で、体力ある方にはおすすめです！

We participated in a one-day tour as a family of four. In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Ingyamarine Garden, and in the afternoon, we moved to Shinjo Coast for snorkeling. We intended to do both SUP and kayaking, but there was a miscommunication (even during our correspondence with VELTRA and when confirming with the shop the day before...), so we ended up doing only SUP. I was a bit worried since we have small children, but the waves were calm in the bay, so they were able to ride on the parents' SUP and join in. The older child got close to the guide, who pulled them along at speed on the SUP, and they also learned how to dive for snorkeling, which they really enjoyed. We were satisfied to see turtles and clownfish as well. In addition to commemorative photos at the points, we could also ask for pictures during our free time.

1日ツアーに家族4人で参加しました。午前はインギャーマリンガーデンでSUP、午後は新城海岸に移動してシュノーケルをしました。SUPとカヤックのつもりでしたが、うまく伝わっておらず（VELTRAさんとのやりとり＆前日確認時にもショップさんと会話したのですが。。。)全部SUPになりました。小さい子供がいるので大丈夫かなと思いましたが、湾内で波も穏やかだったので親のSUPに乗って一緒に出来ました。上の子はガイドさんに懐いて、SUPをスピード出して引っ張ってもらったり、シュノーケルも潜り方教えてもらったりですごい楽しんでいました。カメやニモも見れて満足でした。ポイントでの記念撮影の他、自由時間に声をかけると写真も撮ってもらえました。

I participated in a one-day tour. There were about 10 participants in 4 to 5 groups for one guide. In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding at Ingyamarine Garden, and in the afternoon, we went snorkeling at Shinjo Coast. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to enter the sea from the parking lot and receive a briefing, and the tour lasted about 40 minutes. After the tour, we took group photos and then dispersed at the parking lot.

As for important notes:
- Each participant needs to travel to the meeting point by rental car, and we will receive information about the meeting point the day before.
- Lunch is also on your own, but many shops are still closed even though the morning tour ends around 10:30.
- At Shinjo Coast, the parking lot was full, which took time to enter, and there was also a parking fee of 1,000 yen.

1日ツアーに参加しました。ガイドさん1人に対して、参加者は4～5組の10人位でした。午前はインギャーマリンガーデンでSUP、午後は新城海岸でシュノーケルをしました。いずれも駐車場から海にエントリーおよび事前説明に15～20分、ツアーが40分位、ツアー後にグループごとに写真撮影し、駐車場で解散でした。
注意事項として、
・集合場所へは各自レンタカーで移動で、前日に集合場所の連絡もらいます。
・お昼も各自で取るのですが、午前のツアーが10:30頃に終わるもののお店がまだ開店していないところも多いです。
・新城海岸は駐車場がいっぱいで入るまで時間がかかったのとともに駐車場料金も1000円必要でした。

I participated in the SUP tour and sea turtle snorkeling! I was supposed to receive a call the day before, but there was no contact by 5 PM, so I reached out myself. The staff at the reception seemed unaware of my reservation, which made me quite anxious. They said they would get back to me, but I ended up receiving a call at 7 PM. I wish they had informed me if it was going to take that long.

As for the activities, the SUP tour in the morning was my first experience, and I was worried about whether I could stand up, but in the end, I managed to do it and had a lot of fun. There was a staff member at the back who provided helpful advice on how to paddle, which was very clear and easy to understand.

During snorkeling, it was low tide, so the coral reefs were very close, and I was able to see colorful fish, which was truly moving. I even encountered a sea turtle, and I was very satisfied. Although I was anxious about the communication issue, the activities themselves were fantastic!

SUPツアーとウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました！！
前日に連絡が来るはずが17時になっても連絡がなく、こちらから連絡をしましたが、受付の方が予約を把握していないのか色々と不安になりました。折り返しの連絡をくれるということでしたが、結局連絡がきたのが19時でこんな時間になるなら一言言って欲しかったです。

肝心のアクティビティですが、
午前中はSUPツアーで、初めてのSUPなので乗れるか心配でしたが最終的には立つこともできとても楽しかったです。
後方にもスタッフさんが付き、乗り方のアドバイス等も丁寧に教えてくださり分かりやすかったです。
シュノーケリングは、ちょうど干潮だったのでサンゴ礁がとても近く色とりどりの魚も見れて、とても感動しました。ウミガメとも遭遇できて大満足でした。
連絡の件で不安になりましたが、アクティビティ自体は最高でした♪

I experienced SUP and snorkeling. It was my first time doing SUP, but the staff were kind and taught me carefully, so I was able to do it well right away! The scenery at Ingyamarine Garden was also wonderful, allowing me to experience the essence of Okinawa.

I did snorkeling at Shinjo Beach, and I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles! I thought it would be lucky if I saw one, so I was extremely excited! The staff also explained how to do it carefully at the beginning, so I think beginners can participate with confidence.

Overall, it was a very satisfying day. Thank you!

SUPとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
SUPは初めてでしたがスタッフの方が優しく丁寧に教えてくださり、すぐに上手くできるようになりました！
インギャーマリンガーデンの景色も素晴らしく沖縄らしさを体験することができました。
シュノーケリングは新城海岸で行いましたが、なんとウミガメは４匹も出会うことができました！会えたらラッキーぐらいに考えていたのでテンション上がりまくりです！
こちらも最初に丁寧にやり方を教えてくださるので初心者の方も安心して参加できると思います。
とにかく大満足な一日でした、ありがとうございました！

I encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling in the Blue Cave. The tour guide was also very kind, making it a wonderful memory!

青の洞窟でのシュノーケリング時にウミガメに遭遇しました。
また、ツアーガイドの方がとても親切で、良い思い出になりました！

Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour! I will share my experience in chronological order.

On the morning of the day before, I arrived at the meeting place and received a call. On the day of the tour, even though there were no signs or markers at the meeting point, I was able to confirm everything over the phone, and they responded very politely. The guide was thorough in their explanations and was friendly in their approach. During the activities, there was a lot of free time, allowing everyone to relax or pair up and do what they liked. Additionally, since there were two pairs participating at the same time, we were able to take our time and enjoy the experience even more. Throughout the activities, they constantly took photos, allowing us to capture precious memories. The sunset was simply amazing. We were able to see beautiful views that are not visible from the land. The photos were shared with us via LINE after the activities. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

総じて、とても楽しいツアーでした！時系列で体験談を投稿します。
前日の午前中に、集合場所等に着いて、電話で連絡がきました。当日は、待ち合わせ場所に行っても、看板など目印がなかったのですが、電話で確認すると、とても丁寧にご対応頂けました。ガイドさんは、教え方が丁寧で、気さくに話しかけて下さりました。アクティビティ中は自由時間が多く、それぞれが、寝そべったり、二人乗りをしたりと好きなことをすることができました。また、同時に2ペアでの参加だったので、尚更ゆっくり体験することができました。アクティビティ中に、常に写真も撮ってくださり、大切な想い出となる写真を残すことができました。肝心の夕陽は素晴らしいの一言です。陸からは見えない、素敵な景色を見ることができました。写真はアクティビティ終了後にLINEで共有頂きました。また機会があったら参加したいと思いました。

We went to experience stand-up paddleboarding with three girls! When one of us was feeling unwell, they kindly waited for us and even gave us medicine, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

The explanation for paddleboarding was very easy to understand, and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to the clear instructions, we were able to stand up and paddle right away! We also practiced avoiding dangers, which made us feel safe while learning. ☺︎

We got to see beautiful fish that are friends of Nemo! It seems that these fish can only be seen under certain conditions, so we were really happy to spot them!

While we were paddleboarding, they took lots of photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

女子３人でサップを体験しに行きました！
体調不良の子がいた時に、待ってくださったりお薬をくれたりと神対応をしていただきました

サップの説明もとても分かりやすく、楽しくできました。的確な説明のおかげですぐに立って漕ぐことができました！危険回避の練習もできて安心して練習できました☺︎

ニモの仲間の色が綺麗なお魚も見れました！
条件が揃わないと見れないお魚らしく嬉しかったです！

サップをしている時も写真をぱしゃぱしゃ撮ってくださり、素敵な思い出になりました！

It was the best tour!
In the morning, I swam with sea turtles while snorkeling.
I was lucky to encounter them suddenly. I was surprised by their size when I surfaced. It was a great experience.

In the afternoon, we took a canoe to the Pumpkin Cave.
I was thrilled by the mysterious atmosphere.
It seems that you can't enter depending on the weather and tide conditions, but the timing was perfect, and there were few people, so it was amazing.

Thank you to Taro, our guide.
The guidance was wonderful.
Even those who can't swim can enjoy it safely.
I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

I highly recommend this tour.
If you're going to Miyako Island, definitely check it out!

最高のツアーでした！
午前中にシュノーケリングでウミガメと一緒に泳ぎました。
いきなり遭遇できたのでラッキーでした。浮上してきた時の
大きさにはびっくり。いい体験ができました。

午後からはカヌーに乗ってパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。
神秘的な空間に大興奮。
天候と潮の状況によって入れないようですが、タイミングも良く
人も少ない時間帯だったので最高でした。

ガイドをして頂いた太郎さん、お世話になりました。
すばらしい案内でした。
泳げない人でも安心して楽しめます。
また機会があればお願いしたいです。

超オススメのツアーです。
宮古島に行かれる方はぜひ！

Unfortunately, the wind was strong, and we couldn't go out to the open sea, but we were able to experience kayaking in the beautiful waters. We enjoyed paddling while seeing the transparent sea with blue corals and fish visible beneath the surface. The staff were friendly and approachable, and their service was attentive. They also shared various recommendations for local beaches. Additionally, we received photos and videos, which are just fantastic. They will help us preserve these memories. We've watched them together many times. This is the most important part. I want to experience it again, and next time, I definitely want to go out to the open sea.

あいにく風が強く、外海にでられませんでしたが、美しい海でカヤックを体験できました。透明な海で透けて見える青い珊瑚や魚たち、漕ぎながら楽しみました。スタッフの皆さんの気さくでフレンドリーで、対応も丁寧。地元でお勧めの海などいろいろ教えて下さいました。また写真や動画も頂き、これがまた最高です。思い出にしっかり残せます。何度も二人で見ました。
これが一番大事です。また体験したいです。次は絶対外海に出たいです。

This was my second time doing SUP in Miyako Island, and it was my first time participating during sunset. I had seen the sunset at Sunset Beach before, but experiencing it out on the water was different and even more beautiful.

It lasted about an hour and a half, and during that time, the colors of the sky changed dramatically, creating a magical atmosphere. The staff member, Maashi, made sure to take photos of all the participants (about four groups) so we could have memories of the experience.

It seemed that many participants were new to SUP, but they taught us how to do it before we got into the water, which made me feel at ease. They were kind enough to check on anyone who was lagging behind, calling out to them and waiting patiently. They also shared many recommendations for spots to visit in Miyako Island, making it a memorable tour. I highly recommend it!!!

宮古島で2回目のSUP、サンセットの時間は初めての参加でした。今回会場となったサンセットビーチで夕日は見たことがありましたが、海に出てみる夕日はまた違って更に綺麗でした。
1時間半くらいでしたが、その間にどんどん空の色が変わっていって幻想的でした。
スタッフのまーしさんは、参加者全員（4組くらい）をそれぞれ写真に残せるようお声がけして下さいました。
SUP自体が初めての方も多かったようですが、最初にやり方を教えてくれてから海に入るので安心できました。遅れている人がいたら声をかけて呼んでくれたり待ってくれたりと優しく接して下さいました。また、宮古島のおすすめスポットもたくさん教えていただき、思い出に残るツアーになりました。とてもおすすめです！！！

The staff were very kind, and I enjoyed both the canoeing in the mangroves and the snorkeling at Balas Island. It was also a stroke of luck to see sea turtles in the coral reef. I didn't expect to get seasick while floating alone during snorkeling, though.

スタッフの方が非常に親切で、マングローブでのカヌー、バラス島のシュノーケリングいずれも楽しませでいただきました。珊瑚礁で海亀が見られたことも幸運でした。1人シュノーケリングで浮かんでいると、波酔いになってしまったのは想定外でしたが

The guide was wonderful, running the business as a family and creating a warm atmosphere. They took lots of photos, making for the best memories! We waited at the shop until our return boat arrived, and that time was enjoyable too. Since we were staying in Ishigaki, we went to Uehara Port first thing in the morning. It’s a busy season with many ferry passengers, so it’s better to make a reservation if you can!

ご家族で経営されててアットホームで素敵なガイドさんでした♫
写真もいっぱい撮って頂いて最高の想い出になりました！
帰りの船がくるまで、お店で待たせて頂いて、そんな時間も楽しかったです♫
石垣に宿泊していたので、朝一で上原港まで行きました。繁忙期でフェリーのお客さんが多いので予約できるならした方が良いです！

On my first trip to Miyako Island with my girlfriend, it was also my first time trying SUP. I was worried about whether I would be able to do it well, but the guide was very kind, and I had a great time throughout. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful, and it was definitely the right choice to go in the evening. The sea was shallow even further out, so I didn't have any worries about falling in. We took a lot of great photos, and it became a lifelong memory. When I come back to Miyako Island, I would like to book SUP here again! I want to be able to do it even better next time.

彼女と初めての宮古島旅行で、SUP自体も初めてでした。上手くできるか不安でしたが、ガイドのお兄さんがとても親切で、終始楽しかったです。また、景色も非常に綺麗で、夕方に行って正解でした。海自体も沖の方まで浅く、落ちる不安もありませんでした。写真もいい感じに沢山撮っていただいて、一生の思い出になりました。また宮古島に来た際にはまたここでSUPを予約したいです！次来る時はもっと上手くできるようになりたいです。

It was my first time doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

My guide was a young boy named Kei-kun.

We gathered and went to the beach where we received a lecture on how to handle the SUP, and then we all headed into the sea.

I was having a hard time moving forward, but Kei-kun, who was leading everyone, came back and asked, "Are you okay!?" When I said, "I can't do it!", he connected the boards and pulled me along.

I was wearing a life jacket, but it looked deep and I was scared, so I stayed sitting. Even though I was probably getting in the way while taking pictures of everyone, he kept moving while connected, and I ended up just enjoying a leisurely stroll (laughs).

I thought I could stand when it got shallower! On the way back to the beach, I challenged myself to stand in a shallow spot, and I was able to do it!

At that time, it was almost dark, and although the photo he took was unfortunately shaky (laughs), I was really happy that I could stand, and I had a great experience as he pulled me along until the end, even though I was probably a burden.

More than anything, I gained confidence that I can stand next time! I'm looking forward to the next time.

Thank you so much, Kei-kun.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Kei-kun later sent me a beautiful picture of me standing! He said he searched for it a lot.

I'm grateful until the end (*ˊᗜˋ)!

Thank you so much.

初めてのサップでした。

けいくんという若い男の子のガイドさんでした。

集合してビーチまで行き サップの扱い方をレクチャーして頂きみんなで海へ。

なかなか進めない私でしたが皆さんを引率してたけいくんが、「大丈夫ですかー！？」と戻ってきてくれて、「むりー！」って言ったらサップを繋げてくれて引っ張って連れて行ってくれました。


ライフジャケット着てましたが 深そうで怖かったので立てずにいました。
皆さんの写真をひととおり撮るのに 邪魔になるだろうに繋げたままずっと移動して下さり終始お散歩状態(笑)になってましたが 私なりに楽しめました。

浅くなったら立てそう！と思い ビーチに戻る途中で浅そうなところで立つのに挑戦したら私でも立てました！

その時はもうほぼ暗く 写真撮ってくださいましたが残念ながら手ブレ(笑)。
でも、立てたことが嬉しかったですし最後まで足でまといだろうに引っ張って下さり本当にいい体験ができました。

何より次からは立てる！自信がついたのでまた次回が楽しみになりました。

けいくん 本当にお世話になりました。

またよろしくお願い致します。

けいくんが 後ほど立てた時の綺麗な画像を送って下さりました！
探しまくってくれたそうです。

最後まで感謝です(*ˊᗜˋ)!

本当にありがとう。

The staff were very kind and guided us smoothly, allowing us to start the experience right away! They took many photos for us, and shared the drone footage immediately after the experience, creating wonderful memories. I will definitely use this service again! Thank you very much!

スタッフさんが皆さんとても親切で、スムーズに案内してくださりすぐに体験に入ることが出来ました！写真撮影も沢山して下さり、ドローン撮影の動画も体験後すぐにシェアして下さりとても良い思い出になりました(^^)またぜひ利用させていただきます！ありがとうございました♪
