All Reviews for SUP Tours

On the day of our trip, due to weather conditions, the planned SUP and landing on Barasu Island were canceled. However, we appreciated the flexible response that allowed us to choose canyoning and canoeing as alternatives. We opted for canyoning, and since we were the only participants, it turned into a private tour by chance, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any worries. The progression of the tour was smooth, and it was impressive that we were able to go all the way down to the boundary between the river and the sea. The transportation to the port was convenient, and the guide helped us arrange tickets for Yufu Island and the water buffalo cart, which was a great help. We were initially concerned about the weather, but thanks to the adaptable suggestions, we had a fulfilling sightseeing experience and were very satisfied with the day.

当日は天候の影響で、西表島で予定していたSUPとバラス島上陸が中止となりましたが、代替としてキャニオニングとカヌーを選べる柔軟な対応があり安心できました。私たちはキャニオニングを選択。参加者が私たちだけで偶然プライベートツアーのようになり、気を遣わず思いきり楽しめました。進行もスムーズで、川と海の境目まで下らせてもらえたのが印象的です。港までの送迎付きで移動も楽、由布島や水牛車のチケット手配もガイドさんがまとめて行ってくれて助かりました。天候を心配していましたが、臨機応変な提案のおかげで充実した観光ができ、大満足の一日でした。

The mangrove kayaking was amazing for the first time!!

Thanks to Kokkō-san's wonderful guidance, I had a great time!!

I felt so relaxed!!

初めてのマングローブカヤック最高でした！！

こっこーさんの素敵なアテンドで、楽しめました！！

癒されました！！

I think it's great that you can combine your favorite plans. This time, I experienced canoeing and a tour of Yufu Island.

It was a fun tour where I could experience the World Heritage site of Iriomote Island! During the bus ride, I learned a lot from our guide "Macchan" about Okinawa and Iriomote Island. ✏️

Next time, if I can come during a warmer season, I would like to try snorkeling as well! ✨

好きなプランを組み合わせられるのがいいと思います。今回、カヌーと由布島観光を体験しました。

世界遺産西表島を体験できる楽しいツアーでした♪
バスでの送迎中はガイドの「まっちゃん」の沖縄や西表島の話が聞けて勉強になりました✏️

次回暖かい時期に来ることができたら、シュノーケル体験などもしてみたいと思います✨

In the morning, the sun wasn't shining much, but by the time we got on the canoe, the weather was great, and my mood was at its best! Our guide, Souta, was wonderful 👍. He entertained us with information about the island's shops during the car ride, and while canoeing, he shared insights about the mangrove forest and nature, which was very educational. I would love to join again with Souta as my guide.

朝は太陽があまり出ていませんでしたが、
カヌーに乗る頃には良い天気になり、気分も最高！
ガイドのソウタさん、素晴らしい👍
行き帰りの車の中でも島のお店情報などたのしませてくれ、カヌーではマングローブの森の情報、自然の話、とても勉強になりました。
またソウタさんのガイドで参加したいです。

It was February, but we had the best temperature and enjoyed a relaxing mangrove canoe tour! The staff were kind, and we were able to enjoy it at our own pace, which was great! We made some wonderful memories, thank you very much! ^_^

2月でしたが最高の気温で、穏やかなマングローブカヌーツアーができました！スタッフさんも優しく、自分達のペースで楽しむことが出来たので良かったです！とても楽しい思い出が出来ました、ありがとうございました^_^

I was worried that my child might not last from morning until evening, but our guide, Macchan, always kept a smile and energized the group. He helped us find creatures that would excite the kids and was a great conversation partner on the bus ride back. I can't express enough gratitude until the very end. If I have the chance again, I would like to sign up for this tour! ♬

朝から夕方まで長丁場で子供が最後までもつか不安もありましたが、ガイドのまっちゃんがいつも笑顔で盛り上げてくださり、子供のテンションが上がりそうな生き物を探してくださったり、帰りのバスの中でもたくさん話し相手になっていただき、最後の最後まで感謝しかありません。また機会があればこちらのツアーを申し込みたいと思います♬

The tour to Barasu Island was canceled due to the sea weather, but in the morning, I went to Yufu Island. There was a brief moment of sunshine, and while riding the water buffalo, the sun reflected off the waves, creating a beautiful scene. There were also places where we could take pictures with the water buffalo, and I enjoyed looking at the blooming flowers and walking along the beach. A quick stroll around Yufu Island allowed me to see everything within the time limit. It was just perfect for a leisurely walk.

In the afternoon, the mangrove canoeing was quite an adventure! The river leading into the mangrove forest had surprisingly strong winds (I think this was due to the weather on that day, haha). Once we entered the mangroves, it felt mystical; it was definitely worth the visit. On the way back, everyone from the tour worked together to cross the river (a collaborative effort right at the start of the new year).

It was a tour where I could feel the power and grandeur of nature. Overall, I had a great time!

海の天候でバラス島のツアーはキャンセルになったのですが、午前中に由布島行きに、晴れ間も一瞬広がって水牛に乗ってる間波に太陽が反射してとてもきれいでした。水牛と写真撮ってもらえるところもあり、咲いてる花をみたり浜辺歩いたり、由布島内散策もさーっと回れば時間内に全て見れました。あさんぽにちょうどよかったです。
午後からマングローブカヌーはもうアドベンチャー笑　マングローブ林に入るまでの川がびっくりするくらいの強風（これは天気の問題でこの日はこうだったんだと思います笑）
マングローブに入ると神秘的、これは行く価値ありです。帰りはツアー参加のみんなで力を合わせて川横断（新年早々の共同作業）
自然のパワーと壮大さを感じれたツアーでした。結果、とても楽しかったです♪

The weather was perfect, making for an amazing day. I am very grateful to our guides, Macchan and Sugichan, for providing such a fun time! During the mangrove tour, we were able to see a crested serpent eagle flying very close and hear its calls clearly. I was worried about whether I could paddle in the canoe since it was my first time, but they taught us very patiently, and my daughter and I managed just fine. You will get wet from the waist down, but you get used to it quickly. Even though it's February, the weather was so nice, and I was surprised by the strength of the sunlight. I regretted not being more prepared for sunburn. The cuteness of the water buffalo was healing. I couldn't help but laugh at Kirara, the water buffalo, as she worked while making sounds. The time spent at Yubu Island was only one hour, and it felt too short, especially since the interaction and photo opportunities with the water buffalo were crowded; I wished we had a bit more time. Even during the bus ride, Macchan kept us entertained with his guidance, so we never got bored. I'm glad I participated in this all-inclusive tour. I highly recommend taking a tour rather than going solo.

天気に恵まれ最高の1日になりました。ガイドのまっちゃん、すぎちゃんのお二人に楽しい時間をもらえた事、とても感謝します！マングローブツアーではカンムリワシがとても近くで飛んではっきり姿を見れ鳴声も聞けました。初めてのカヌーで前に進めるか心配でしたがとても丁寧に教えて頂き娘と二人でも大丈夫でした。お尻から下は濡れます、でもすぐ慣れます。2月なのにとても天気が良く日差しの強さにビックリです。日焼け対策甘かったと後悔しました。水牛の可愛らしさに癒されました。水牛のキララちゃんが鳴きながらお仕事する姿に思わず笑ってしまいました。水牛とのふれあい撮影が混んでいると由布島の滞在時間1時間ではあっという間で、もう少し時間欲しかったです。移動のバスの中でもまっちゃんがガイドしてくれるので退屈しませんでした。至れり尽くせりのツアーで参加して良かったです。個人でまわるよりツアーおすすめです

The temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it a rough day for canoeing. Because of the bad weather, I had an unforgettable canoeing experience as I navigated through the mangroves, encountering various unexpected events along the way.

気温が低い上に風が強く、大時化でのカヌーでした。
天候が悪かったからこそ、ハプニングに見舞われながらマングローブをカヌーで巡る体験ができたので、一生忘れられないカヌー体験となりました。

The weather was nice, and the staff were calm and very friendly. I was nervous since it was my first time kayaking, but they carefully taught me how to paddle, allowing me to enjoy kayaking with peace of mind. The drone footage captured breathtaking scenery that truly moved me.

天候も良く、スタッフの方々が穏やかで非常に親しみやすい人たちばかりでした。初めてのカヤックで緊張していましたが、漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくださり、安心してカヤックを楽しむことができました。ドローン撮影は圧巻の景色で心打たれました。

I stayed at a hotel on Iriomote Island, and I was very grateful for the free shuttle service to the hotel. The weather was unusually clear for this time of year, and it was warm! In the morning, we took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Each water buffalo has its own personality, and the relaxed time we spent was wonderful. Yubu Island has many attractions, and there was so much to see that we didn't have enough time. In the afternoon, we went kayaking (you can also choose SUP) through the mangroves. You definitely need clothes that can get wet since your backside will get soaked, but the experience of being surrounded by nature was truly moving. Our guide, Shu, explained everything about Iriomote Island in detail and took lots of photos, which added to our memories. It's a tour that beginners can join with confidence.

西表島ホテルに宿泊していましたが、ホテルまで無料送迎していただけてとても助かりました。天気もこの時期ではあまりない快晴だったようで、暖かかったです！午前中は水牛車で由布島へ。水牛それぞれに性格があって可愛く、のんびりした時間が最高でした。由布島は見どころが多く、時間が足りないくらい充実しています。午後はカヤック（SUPも選べます）でマングローブの中へ。お尻がしっかり濡れるので濡れてもいい服必須ですが、大自然に包まれる体験は感動もの。ガイドのShuさんが西表島のことも丁寧に説明してくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて思い出が増えました。初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーです。

The sightseeing in Yubu Island was a wonderfully relaxing experience. The time spent crossing the sea on a water buffalo cart felt special, and I was delighted to see the water buffalo up close. Their calm expressions and strong presence were truly soothing.

The island is filled with subtropical plants, and I was excited to see the vibrant flowers and large trees that are not often seen in everyday life. It was a lovely place where I could feel the richness of nature and enjoy a leisurely time.

The mangrove kayaking tour I experienced in Iriomote Island was incredibly fun. As we gently paddled down the river, we were able to see the mangrove forests up close, allowing me to forget my daily routine and refresh myself. Even as a beginner, I felt safe and enjoyed the experience because I was taught carefully. It was a wonderful experience that reminded me of the joy of moving my body in nature.

由布島の観光は、のんびりとした時間が流れていてとても心地よい体験でした。水牛車に揺られながら海を渡る時間は特別感があり、間近で水牛を見ることができて嬉しかったです。穏やかな表情や力強い姿に癒されました。
島内には亜熱帯の植物がたくさんあり、普段なかなか見ることのない色鮮やかな花や大きな木々にワクワクしました。自然の豊かさを感じられる、ゆったりと楽しめる素敵な場所でした。

西表島で体験したマングローブカヤックツアーは、本当に楽しかったです。ゆったりと川を進みながら、間近でマングローブ林を見ることができ、日常を忘れてリフレッシュできました。初めてでも丁寧に教えてもらえたので安心して楽しめましたし、自然の中で体を動かす気持ちよさを改めて実感できる素敵な体験でした。

I participated in a sea turtle snorkeling tour and beach SUP. I was worried it might be cold since it was February, but thanks to the wetsuit, I was able to snorkel without any issues. Compared to summer, the winter sea has higher visibility, and I could clearly see the seabed and the fish swimming in the distance. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any sea turtles this time, so I would like to try again in the summer. The SUP was held in an area with little wave action, making it easy for beginners to try. The instructor taught us various things, and it turned out to be a wonderful trip. Thank you very much! I look forward to visiting Miyako Island again.

ウミガメシュノーケリングツアーとビーチSUPに参加しました。2月なので寒いのではないかと心配でしたが、ウェットスーツのおかけで問題なくシュノーケリングできました。夏に比べて冬の海の透明度は高く、海底がはっきりみえて遠くにいる魚達もよく見えました。今回はウミガメは見ることはできなかったので、次回は夏に再挑戦したいと思います。SUPは波の少ないところでの開催だったので、初心者の方でも挑戦しやすいと思います。インストラクターの方にも色々なことを教えていただき、素敵な旅になりました☆ありがとうございました。また宮古島に旅行の際にはよろしくお願いいたします。

Due to poor tide conditions, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but the sea we were taken to instead was even more beautiful than I imagined, and I was surprised! Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles, the guide provided very clear and thorough explanations, which made me very satisfied.

海潮不良のために、青の洞窟には行けなかったけど、代わりに連れて行って頂いた海が、想像以上にキレイでびっくり!
ウミガメには会えなかったけど、ガイドさんがすごくわかりやすく丁寧な説明で大満足。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island, and even with the limited time of half a day, it was a very fulfilling tour where I could fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island!

During the initial mangrove canoe experience, it wasn't just about enjoying the scenery; the instructor explained the types of mangroves and various creatures in an easy-to-understand manner, allowing us to truly feel the nature of Iriomote Island.

We crossed the sea to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. On Yubu Island, we had about an hour of free time, which was enough to enjoy taking pictures with the water buffalo. Even during the bus ride, we were introduced to many interesting facts about Iriomote Island, making the travel time enjoyable and never boring.

石垣島から日帰りで参加しましたが、半日という限られた時間でも西表島の大自然をしっかり満喫できる、とても充実したツアーでした！
最初のマングローブカヌー体験では、ただ景色を楽しむだけでなく、インストラクターの方がマングローブの種類や生き物の話などを分かりやすく教えてくださり、西表島の自然を感じることができました。
由布島へは水牛車に乗って海を渡りました。由布島では約1時間の自由時間がありましたが、水牛と写真を撮ったりと十分に楽しめました。移動中のバスでも西表島に関する豆知識をたくさん紹介していただき、移動時間も退屈することなく、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。

I visited in February! It was a cloudy day with strong winds, and the river was choppy. It seems that this time of year has a lot of rain and windy days.

The mangrove canoeing was challenging because of the wind, but it was also a fun experience in the jungle's natural environment! I was able to see the mangrove trees up close! I was amazed and moved to learn that they grow slowly and many are over 100 years old!

The sightseeing at Yubu Island, which we reached by water buffalo cart, felt like no time at all during our one-hour stay. Of course, riding the water buffalo cart was fun, and I also took pictures with the water buffalo named Rui-kun and enjoyed gelato at a tea shop, experiencing the unique offerings of Yubu Island! The entire island is like a botanical garden, and just walking around was enjoyable!

The tour guides were also entertaining, and I was able to enjoy the tour, including their stories during our travels. I would love to participate in other activities as well!

2月に訪れました！この日は曇り空に強風で、川が波立っていました。この時期は雨が多く風が強い日が多いようです。

マングローブカヌーは、風に煽られて漕ぐのが大変でしたが、それもまたジャングルの自然の体験として楽しかったです！マングローブの木を間近で見ることができました！成長が遅く、樹齢100年以上のものばかりということに驚き、感動しました！

水牛車に乗って行った由布島観光は、1時間の滞在時間があっという間でした。
水牛車に乗ることはもちろん、水牛のルイ君と写真を撮ったり、お茶屋さんでジェラートを食べたりと、由布島ならではの体験ができました！島全体が植物園になっていて、歩いているだけでも楽しかったです！

ツアーガイドの皆さまもおもしろく、移動中のお話含め、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
また他のアクティビティにも参加したいです！

I had booked an afternoon tour on February 8, but due to a record cold wave, I was discouraged by the cold and rain. When I requested to change the date, they responded very kindly.

The canoe tour the following morning became the best memory for my wife and me in five years. Our tour guide, Macchan, was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island and taught us about the mangroves and fish, making it a very enjoyable experience beyond just the scenery.

Despite it being the day after the rain, the water was very clear, and we were able to see the fish. Handling the canoe was very easy, and even beginners can enjoy it.

After the tour, they also guided us to dining spots around Uehara Port. I would love to request their services again when we come back to Iriomote Island. It became a wonderful memory for my wife and me.

2月8日の午後ツアーを予約していたのですが、記録的な寒波のため、寒さと雨で心が折れ、日程の変更をお願いしたところ、非常に親切に対応していただきました。
翌日の午前中のカヌーツアーは、妻と5年振りの最高の思い出になりました。
ツアーガイドのまっちゃんは、西表島の知識が豊富で、マングローブの事や魚の事を教えてくれて、景色のみでは無く、非常に楽しめました。
また、雨の次の日であったのに関わらず、とても水が済んでおり、魚が見ることができました。
カヌーの取り扱いは、非常に簡単で、初めてでも楽しめます。
それとツアー後には、上原港周辺の食事どころの案内してくれました。
また、西表島に来る際は、お願いしたいと思います。
妻と最高の思い出になりました。

Due to poor weather conditions on the day, both the canoeing and snorkeling plans (location and time) had to be changed, but we were fortunate to experience almost no rain, and the canoeing even had some sunny moments, making it a wonderful day!

I appreciated the early notification about the changes to the schedule the day before.

We had children with us, and I was happy that the staff engaged with us a lot during canoeing and adjusted the pace for snorkeling to accommodate the kids. I initially thought the photos would be an extra charge, but I was thrilled to receive many high-quality commemorative photos for free. The sightseeing information during our travel was also great!

I would love to use your services again. Thank you very much! 😊

当日天候不良のため、カヌーもシュノーケリングもプラン（場所、時間）を変更しての実施となりましたが、どちらもほぼ雨に降られることなく、カヌーは晴れ間も見えとても良い1日になりました！
前日の予定変更も早めにご連絡くださり、ありがたかったです。
子連れでしたが、カヌーでは沢山声をかけてくださり、シュノーケリングでは子供のペースに合わせてゆったりと泳いでくださったのが嬉しかったです。写真も別料金かと思っていたのですが、クオリティ高い記念になる写真を沢山無料で頂いて感激しました。移動中の観光案内も良かったです！
また利用させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございました😊

I made a reservation the evening before, but they kindly accepted it. I also received a phone call, which put my mind at ease. On the day of the event, all the staff were friendly, cheerful, and easy to talk to, making for a fun and enjoyable time throughout. The Ingyama Marine Garden was calm and great for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and the clear water allowed us to see the fish underwater. Thank you very much!

前日の夕方の申し込みでしたが快く受けてくださりました。お電話も頂き安心しました。
当日もスタッフのみなさん親切で明るく話しやすく終始楽しく良い時間が過ごせました。インギャーマリンガーデンは穏やかでSUPしやすく、クリアsupなので海中の魚も見ることができました。ありがとうございました。

The lecture before the kayaking experience was easy to understand, allowing even beginners to enjoy it safely! Not only did they take photos and videos for us, but they also captured beautiful shots of the sea and natural scenery with a drone, so we were able to take those memories home with us♪

カヤック体験前のレクチャーが分かりやすく、初心者でも安全に楽しめました！写真や動画を撮ってくださるだけでなく、ドローンで撮影してくださったので綺麗な海や自然の景色も思い出として持ち帰ることができました♪

The wind was strong, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but as an alternative, we went to Shigira Beach where we were able to see a lot of sea turtles! A curly-haired guy guided us, checking our condition each time and explaining about the marine life. He also took many photos for us, helping us create wonderful memories! Thank you very much!

風が強く、青の洞窟には行くことが出来ませんでしたが、代換え案で行かせていただいたシギラビーチはウミガメをたくさん見ることができました！髪がくるくるなお兄さんが指導してくださりましたが、都度体調確認や海の生物の説明をしてくださったり、写真もたくさん撮って下さり楽しい思い出作りが出来ました！ありがとうございました！

It was raining, but our guide, Macchan, said, "Rain is what makes Iriomote Island!" and it got us excited! We were able to do some unexpected trekking and had a great time. Thank you!

雨でしたが、ガイドのまっちゃんが「雨こそ西表島！」と言うので盛り上がりました！思わぬところでトレッキングもでき、楽しめました。ありがとう！

I had a truly fulfilling time participating in this tour. It was my first experience paddling through the mangroves on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and I was deeply moved as I slowly glided over the calm water, observing rare plants and creatures that are not often seen up close. The guide's explanations were clear, and I appreciated learning about nature and the formation of Iriomote Island. The water buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island also provided a unique experience, and I was very satisfied with the many photos I was able to take. I believe this tour is perfect for beginners and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

今回こちらのツアーに参加して、本当に充実した時間を過ごすことができました。マングローブの中をSUP（カヌー）で進む体験は初めてでしたが、静かな水面をゆっくり進みながら、普段なかなか見ることのできない珍しい植物や生き物を間近で観察でき、とても感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、自然や西表島の成り立ちについて学べたのも良かったです。由布島の水牛車観光も非日常感があり、写真もたくさん撮れて大満足でした。初心者でも安心して参加できる内容で、心からおすすめできるツアーだと思います。

This tour is definitely satisfying for those visiting Iriomote Island for the first time! Our guide, Macchan, introduced us to many aspects of Iriomote Island, making it a wonderful memory. The mangrove canoeing was not only a chance to observe up close, but we also entered maze-like areas and took many photos, which was a lot of fun. Each water buffalo on Yubu Island had its own personality, and the guide's explanations were entertaining, keeping us engaged throughout. We were able to spend a graceful and meaningful time, and I definitely want to visit again!

初めて西表島に訪れる方は間違いなく満足できるツアーです！ガイドのまっちゃんさんが西表島について沢山紹介してくれたので、最高の思い出になりました。マングローブのカヌーは間近で観察できるだけでなく、迷路のような場所に入ったり、写真もたくさん撮っていただけてとても楽しかったです。由布島の水牛も一頭一頭に個性があり、ガイドさんの説明が面白く、終始楽しめました。優雅で有意義な時間を過ごすことができ、また絶対に訪れたいと思います！

At the end of January, my family participated in a one-day tour. We were picked up at our hotel, and in the morning, we had a canoe experience. When we arrived at Kabira Bay, we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean. There were no other people around except for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery. Even the children, who were experiencing this for the first time, were able to paddle without any issues.

For lunch, we had a break at the island terminal. We ate at our favorite restaurant and gathered back at the terminal at 1:30 PM. On that day, the wind was strong, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we had a snorkeling experience in Osaki Bay instead. At first, the water was cold, but I quickly got used to it and it wasn't cold anymore.

The children, who are not great swimmers, were able to hold onto floaties and move around comfortably, which was reassuring. There were beautiful fish and coral, and I was particularly impressed to see a sea snake. The guide frequently checked on our well-being, so even with the kids around, I was able to focus and enjoy watching the fish.

I highly recommend snorkeling even in winter, as it can be done without any problems.

1月末に家族で１日コースに参加しました。
ホテルまで迎えに来て貰い、午前中はカヌー体験です。
川平湾に到着して海の綺麗さに感動しました。人も私達以外は誰も居なくて景色を楽しむ事が出来ました。
初めて体験する子供達でも問題なく漕ぐことが出来ました。
お昼は離島ターミナルで一度解散です。好きなお店でお昼を食べて13:30に離島ターミナルに集合です。
当日は風が強く青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが大崎湾でシュノーケリング体験をしました。
最初、水が冷たかったのですが直ぐに慣れて寒くなかったです。
泳ぎが苦手な子供達は浮き輪に捕まり進んでくれますので安心です。
綺麗なお魚や珊瑚がいて、特にウミヘビが見れて感動しました。
ガイドさんが体調確認を頻回にしてくれますので、子供達が居ましたが安心して私は夢中でお魚を見ることが出来ました。
冬でも、シュノーケリングが問題なく出来るのでお勧めです。

It was my first time doing SUP in the mangroves, but since it was on a calm river, I felt safe doing it. The instructor was kind, which made it enjoyable.

初めてのマングローブでのSUPでしたが穏やかな川でのSUPでしたので安心してできました。
インストラクターも優しいので楽しくできました。

Due to the weather, we switched from ballast to trekking, and I was able to experience nature with all my senses! In the morning, we went trekking, and in the afternoon, we did mangrove SUP.

During the trekking, we saw a waterfall in the mountains and even did something like waterfall meditation, experiencing the great outdoors by jumping in. There were some heights that required a bit of courage to jump from, but our guide, Macchan, demonstrated techniques and provided reassurance, allowing me to jump in with confidence.

On the mangrove SUP, we got to see the mangroves of Iriomote Island up close and entered a tunnel-like area of mangroves, making me feel like I was on an adventure in the jungle. During the mangrove SUP, I learned about various birds and types of mangroves.

What is common to both activities is that Macchan, who guided us through the tours, shared a wealth of information about the plants, creatures, and locations of Iriomote Island. Personally, I didn't have much knowledge about plants and animals, but thanks to the real experiences and knowledge shared by our guide, I was able to learn a lot and found it to be incredibly profound.

I believe the charm of this activity lies not only in the experiences but also in the ability to truly feel and engage with nature.

天候により、バラストからトレッキングに変えたのですが自然を五感で感じることができました！午前はトレッキング、午後はマングローブSUPをしました。
トレッキングでは、山の中にある滝を見て滝行のようなこともしたり飛び込みで大自然を体感できました。飛び込みには少し勇気がいる高さもありましたが、案内してくれるまっちゃんがコツやデモンストレーションをしてくださるため安心して飛び込むことができました。
マングローブSUPでは、西表島のマングローブを近くで見て、マングローブのトンネルのようなところに入ってまるで私がジャングルにいるような冒険をしているような気分になれました。マングローブSUPでは、いろんな鳥やマングローブの種類について知ることができました。
二つのアクティビティに共通していることは、どのツアーも一緒に行ってくださるまっちゃんが植物や生き物、場所などたくさん西表島のことを存分に伝えてくださることです。自身、あまり植物や生物に関して知識がなかったのですが、一緒に行ってくださった方の実体験や経験、知識を存分に教えてくださるため自身の知識も身に付きましたし、すごく奥深いなと感じました。
体験だけではなく、体感できるところがこのアクティビティの魅力だと考えます。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time. The weather was bad, so we had to skip Barasu Island and switch to trekking, but it was the right decision, and I had an amazing experience. I was very happy to be able to experience the same place that Debi from Itte Q visited!

The guide was fantastic and very kind, and he really made the experience enjoyable. Matsuchan, our guide, made me feel great, and even though I was scared, I jumped into the river and successfully went trekking at the age of 52. The stories about the real life of Matsuchan and the locals, as well as tales from the island's elders, were fascinating. The mangrove canoeing was also incredible and very beautiful. You absolutely should experience it!

西表島は初めて訪問しました。気候が悪くバラス島は無しになり、トレッキングに変更になりましたが、変えて正解で最高な体験ができました。イッテQでデビ夫人が行かれた所と一緒の場所を体験でき、とても嬉しかったです！
そして、ガイドさんが最高で優しく、盛り上げてくださいました。ガイドの松ちゃんがとても良い気分にさせてくれて、怖かったけど川に飛び込んだり、無事に52歳ですがトレッキングする事ができました。松ちゃん達が住んでいるリアルな話や、島のおじいの話など面白かったです。マングローブのカヌーも最高でとても綺麗でした。絶対に体験した方が良いです！

Everything was wonderful.

Due to work commitments and flight delays, our reservation time changed multiple times, but you kindly suggested alternative dates without any complaints, which was a great help.

Not only did you teach us, who are beginners in SAP, thoroughly from scratch, but you also adapted the level of assistance and freedom according to the participants' comfort, showcasing your professionalism in marine sports.

During the SAP session, we were able to take an incredible number of photos and videos with drones and smartphones, and perhaps because there were few participants that day, we even received a video with background music as a complimentary service.

The staff were bright and friendly from start to finish. It was impressive that they waved goodbye until we were out of sight, and they also offered advice on nearby restaurants.

For us, who are busy with work and find it hard to take time off, this was the perfect experience. It has also become one of the reasons we want to visit Miyako Island again.

Thank you very much!

全てにおいて素晴らしかったです。

仕事の都合、フライトの遅延で予約時間の変更が二転三転してしまいましたが、悪態ひとつなく快く別日時をご提案くださり助かりました。

また、SAP初心者の私たちに対してイチから丁寧に教えて頂けただけでなく、参加者の慣れに応じて自由度や手助けを臨機応変にされていてマリンスポーツのプロフェッショナルさを感じました。

SAP中はドローンやスマホで凄い数の写真と動画を撮影いただけますし、当日の参加者が少なかったことが理由かもしれませんがサービスでBGM付の動画までいただけました。

スタッフの皆さまは最初から最後まで明るくフレンドリーです。私たちが見えなくなるまで手を振ってくださっていたのが印象的ですし、近くのご飯屋さんも相談に乗ってくださります。

仕事が多忙でなかなかゆっくりと時間を取れない私たちにとって最高の時間になりました。
また、宮古島へ訪れたいキッカケの1つです。

本当にありがとうございました！

I experienced SUP for the first time. Thank you very much!

Since it was my first time, I had some anxiety, but the staff provided clear and kind instructions, and I was able to get used to it right away! The ocean was beautiful, and I even saw fish swimming!

Before it got cloudy, they took drone footage for us, and we received wonderful videos, which was amazing!

This is my best memory from my trip to Miyako Island! Thank you again!! If I do SUP again, I will book here!

初めてSUPを体験しました。ありがとうございました！

初めてだったので不安もあったのですが、
スタッフの皆さんがわかりやすく優しくレクチャーしてくださり、すぐに慣れることができました！海は綺麗で、魚が泳いでいるのも見れました！
曇る前にドローンで撮影してくださり、素敵な映像もいただけ、最高でした！

今回の宮古島旅行でいちばんの思い出です！ありがとうございました！！またSUPをやるならここで予約します！
