All Reviews for SUP Tours

Yuki, our guide, was very kind and cute, and just talking with her was already a lot of fun! She properly guided us during the SUP and took beautiful photos for us! We also got to see a lot of sea turtles! The current was strong, but she made sure we were safe while proceeding, so I felt secure swimming. When I come back to Miyako Island, I will definitely come back to do SUP with the lovely Yuki!

ガイドのゆうきさんがとても優しくて可愛くてお話しているだけでも充分楽しかったです♪
サップも写真の誘導もちゃんとしていただき
綺麗な写真をとっていただけました！
海亀さんも、たくさん会えました！
流れが早かったですが、安全を確認しながら
進行していただけたので安心して泳げました
また宮古島に来た時は可愛いゆうきさんに
会いにサップしに来ます！

It was my first time canoeing, but I was kindly taught and had a lot of fun! I thought it would require a lot of physical strength, but I was able to glide smoothly with just a little paddling. I even learned how to go backwards! ✌️ I passed through some rocks, and it was thrilling because it was difficult to steer in the narrow spots. The weather was cloudy, but I was just in time to see the sunset, which was very beautiful! The instructor was kind and very interesting, so it became a great travel memory. I want to do it again! Thank you!

カヌーは初めてでしたが親切に教えて貰えて楽しかったです！結構体力がいるのかと思っていましたが、少しこぐだけでスイスイ進むことができました。バックも出来るようになりました！✌️
岩の間を通ったのですが、狭い場所は方向を定めるのが難しくてドキドキでした。
天気は曇りでしたが、ぎりぎりで夕日も見ることができ、とっても綺麗でした！インストラクターの方も優しく、とても面白い方だったので、いい旅の思い出になりました。またやりたいです！ありがとうございました。

It was a really fun mangrove and cave tour!!

On the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and even the ferry to Uehara Port was canceled, so I was worried about what would happen. However, once I got on the SUP and entered the mangroves, I felt like I had arrived in a different world on Iriomote Island, with no rain or wind! While paddling, I heard stories about various plants and wildlife! What impressed me the most was the suicide fruit!! (laughs) It looks red, round, and delicious, but eating it can lead to death! I was shocked to learn that such a fruit exists!! The waterfall was also incredibly mystical! I want to join the night mangrove tour next time!!

The cave exploration was just as the name suggests, and it felt like a real adventure, which was a lot of fun! Experiencing the darkness when we turned off the lights deep inside the cave was also memorable, as it was something I had never experienced before!!

Diego was amazing! I hope to join another tour with you soon!

とっても楽しいマングローブと鍾乳洞ツアーでした！！

当日は天気が悪く上原港に向かうフェリーすらも欠航になってしまいどうなるかと思いましたが、
いざサップに乗ってマングローブの中に入ると雨も風もなく西表島の違う世界に来た気分になりました！！
サップで進みながら色んな植物生物自然のお話を聞きました！
私が印象的だったのは自殺の実！！(笑)見た目は赤くて丸くて美味しそうなのに食べたら死に至るという実！そんな実があるのかとビックリ！！
あとは滝がすごい神秘的でした！
今度は夜のマングローブツアーに参加したいと思いました！！

洞窟探検は名前の通り探検してる感じが凄く楽しかったです！
洞窟の奥で電気を消したときに今まで経験したことの無い暗さを体験出来たのも印象的です！！

ジエゴさん最高でした！
まだツアーをする時はお願いします！

I participated in a one-day plan that included mangrove SUP, Barasu Island, and cave exploration. Our guide, Tomo, shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island, making the car ride enjoyable! The mangroves were breathtaking, and I was moved by the grandeur of nature. I learned that there are only two coral islands like Barasu Island in the world. Looking around, all I could see was the ocean, making it a precious experience! The cave exploration didn't follow a paved path; instead, we progressed through natural areas! We walked through water and crouched down, feeling excited and as if we were kids again.

I hurriedly booked this tour after arriving in Ishigaki Island, but I'm glad I chose this one! They took many photos, so I feel happy looking back at them after returning home. Thank you for a fun day! I definitely plan to come back to Iriomote Island again :)

マングローブSUP +バラス島 +鍾乳洞探検の1日プランに参加しました。ガイドのともさんが西表島のことをたくさん教えてくださるので、移動の車内も楽しかったです！初めてのマングローブは圧巻、、自然の壮大さに感動しました。バラス島のような珊瑚の島は世界で２つしかないそうです。周りを見渡しても海しかなく、貴重な体験ができました！鍾乳洞は整備された道を歩くのではなく、自然な状態の場所を進んでいきます！水の中を歩いたり、屈んで進んで行ったり、ワクワクドキドキして子供の頃に戻った気分でした。
石垣島に着いてから慌てて申し込んだツアーでしたが、こちらにお願いしてよかったです！！写真もたくさん撮ってくれたので、帰宅してから写真を見返している時間も幸せです。楽しい1日をありがとうございました！！また絶対に西表島に来ようと思います:)

I had my first SUP experience and snorkeling trip in Okinawa with a friend! We went snorkeling in the morning and did SUP in the afternoon. The water was incredibly clear during snorkeling, and I was able to see not only fish but also sea turtles! It was so cute to see the sea turtles while they were eating (*ˊᵕˋ*)♡ Additionally, the instructor took beautiful underwater photos, which were really stunning✨ I also got to meet clownfish, and it was so much fun!

In the afternoon's SUP session, I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the instructor was very thorough in teaching us, so I was able to get on the board relatively quickly! They also provided advice in difficult spots and connected the boards to prevent us from drifting apart, so I felt well taken care of ( ⸝⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝⸝ ). I was really moved to see the fish in the sea even from the board. I truly had a wonderful experience on my first trip to Miyako Island! I highly recommend it✨✨

友人と沖縄旅行で初のsup体験とシュノーケリングをしました！
午前中にシュノーケリングをして、午後からsupの流れでした
シュノーケリングでは、本当に海が澄んでいて魚はもちろんウミガメまでしっかり見ることができました！ ウミガメが食事をしているところは本当に可愛かったです(*ˊᵕˋ*)♡ また、インストラクターの方が水中で写真を撮ってくれるのですが、その写真も本当に綺麗で素敵でした✨
クマノミにも会えてすっごく楽しかったです！
午後のsupでは、初めてのこともありちょっと不安だったのですがインストラクターの方が本当に丁寧に教えてくれたので開始から割とすぐに乗ることができました！
また、難しいところではアドバイスをくれたり、ボードを繋げて流されないようにしてくれたりしてくれるので置いていかれることはなくしっかりと見てくれます( ⸝⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝⸝ )
ボードからでも下の海の魚がみれて凄く感動しました
初の宮古島で本当にステキな体験ができたなと思いました！本当にオススメです✨✨

It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and the guide taught me very patiently, so I was able to get on the board right away! Paddling through the great outdoors felt amazing, and I believe it's an experience you can only have here. The guide's explanations were also very interesting, and during the trekking, I learned a lot of fun trivia, which made it really enjoyable. We got to take many photos, and we received beautiful pictures that were much better than what we could have taken ourselves. If you're considering a tour in Iriomote Island, I think this is definitely the place to go!

人生で初めてのサップでしたが、ガイドの方にとても丁寧に教えて頂き、すぐに乗れるようになりました！大自然の中をサップで進むのはとても気持ちが良く、ここでしか出来ない体験だと思います。ガイドの方の説明もとても面白く、トレッキングの最中色んな豆知識を教えていただき、とっても楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、自分たちで撮るよりも素敵な写真をたくさんもらえました。西表島でツアーを考えているならここで間違いないと思います！

We came to Ishigaki Island for our honeymoon. Both my husband and I were really looking forward to our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience! The weather was cloudy, but it cleared up while we were paddling, and we were amazed by the beautiful Kabira Bay.

The guide who assisted us was very kind, funny, and absolutely the best! He taught us how to paddleboard in a very thorough manner, and our first SUP experience was incredibly fun and refreshing. We were also very grateful for all the photos he took for us.

After SUP, we had a snorkeling experience. We were supposed to go to the Blue Cave, but due to rough seas, we went to a different location, which was also very beautiful!

Even when I suddenly got scared during the experience, he kindly supported me, explained various things about the underwater world, and took many photos underwater. We snorkeled in quite deep waters and were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming and the stunning underwater scenery that we usually can't see!

Both the SUP and snorkeling, as well as the guide, were absolutely amazing!!! I want to do SUP and snorkeling again when we travel to Ishigaki Island next time!

The photos you sent us were so wonderful that my husband and I were deeply moved. Thank you so much. We created the best memories!

今回新婚旅行で石垣島に来ました。
私も主人も初めてのsupで凄くたのしみにしてました！
天気は曇だったんですが、supしてる時は晴れてくれてとても綺麗な川平湾に感動しました✩.*˚

ガイドして下さったお兄さんはとても優しくて面白くて最高でした！
supの仕方も丁寧に教えて頂き、初めてのsupは
すっごくすっごく楽しくて、気持ちよかったです(^^)
写真も沢山撮ってくれて、とても有難かったです(^^)

supの次はシュノーケル体験でした。
青の洞窟予定でしたが、海が荒れててできないということで、違う場所でのシュノーケルでしたが、その場所もとても綺麗でした！

体験する時になって急に怖くなった私にも優しく対応してくれて、海の中の事も色々説明してくれたり、水中の中でも沢山写真を撮っていただきました。
結構深い場所までシュノーケルに行き、ウミガメが泳いでる姿を見れたり、普段見ることのできない海の中の景色に感動しました！！

supもシュノーケルもお兄さんも、全てにおいて最高でした！！！！！
又、石垣島に旅行に行った時はsupとシュノーケルをしたいです！！

送って下さった写真も素敵すぎて、主人と感動しておりました。
本当にありがとうございました。
最高の思い出ができました(^^)

I participated in a SUP and snorkeling tour at Kabira Bay! It was my first experience with SUP, but the guide's instructions were clear, and I was able to ride easily. During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and beautiful fish! Additionally, while we were moving, the guide shared recommendations for spots on Ishigaki Island and taught us about its history, which added to the enjoyment of my trip. I had a fantastic time on this tour, and it became a wonderful memory! When I come back to Ishigaki Island next time, I would love to join this tour again!

川平湾SUPとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました！SUPは初めての体験でしたが、ガイドの方の指導が分かりやすく簡単に乗ることが出来ました。シュノーケリングではウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることが出来ました！また、移動中にもガイドの方から石垣島のおすすめスポットや石垣島の歴史等を教えていただき、その後の旅の楽しみも増えました。凄く良いツアーに参加させていただき、良い思い出になりました！次に石垣島に来る時は、またこのツアーに参加したいと思います！

Today, I experienced mangrove SUP and landed on Barasu Island to explore a limestone cave. It was all my first time, but the guide was incredibly thorough in teaching us, allowing us to fully enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island! I was particularly anxious about how well I could do SUP, but the guide carefully showed us how to use the paddle and maintain balance, and I was able to glide smoothly in no time! The photos we received were also truly beautiful, and just looking at them makes me feel happy. Thanks to the guide's encouragement, I was able to bond with others who participated in the tour, making it a very satisfying day! Thank you very much!!!

本日はマングローブSUPとバラス島上陸・鍾乳洞体験を行いました。
全て初めての体験でしたがガイドの方が本当に丁寧に教えてくださり西表島の自然を堪能できました！！特にSUPは上手くできるか不安でしたが、パドルの使い方やバランスのとり方まで細かく見てくださり、すぐにスイスイ進めました！
またいただいた写真も本当に綺麗で見ているだけで幸せな気分になれます♪
ガイドの方の声かけもあり一緒にツアーに参加した方々とも仲良くなれて大満足の一日となりました！！本当にありがとうこざいました！！！

We participated in a tour that included mangrove SUP (canoeing), a limestone cave exploration, and a landing on Barasu Island, as a couple in our 30s. Tomo was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and taught us about the flora and fauna as well as the history, making it an educational experience while we explored! The mangrove SUP led us to a waterfall, where we had a refreshing time. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for the beautiful nature!

We landed on Barasu Island by boat, and the sense of being in a place that felt completely inaccessible was thrilling! The final limestone cave exploration took us to a hidden gem reminiscent of Indiana Jones! The journey was enjoyable, but the elegance of the cave made me exclaim in awe. There are some very low areas, so it’s not just a museum walk; you can enjoy the adventure of crawling through!

With breaks included, it lasted about 8 hours, but it felt like no time at all. Tomo and Ryusei accompanied us this time, and they constantly engaged with everyone, ensuring that even solo participants had a great time! For those concerned about physical stamina, participants naturally became allies and helped each other, so I think it’s not a problem at all.

There are many tours available on Iriomote Island, making it difficult to choose, but you can’t go wrong if you leave it to pipi! Definitely give it a try! And both of them were handsome (laughs). Ah, it was so much fun!! Thank you very much!

30代夫婦でマングローブSUP（カヌー）・鍾乳洞探検・バラス島上陸がセットになったツアーに参加しました。
ともさんがガイドについて下さいました。
知識が豊富で動植物のこと、歴史のことを教えて下さったので探検しながら勉強になりました！
マングローブSUPは漕ぎ進んだ先に滝があり、リフレッシュした時間が過ごせました。
美しい自然に感謝の気持ちが溢れました！
バラン島には船で上陸し、絶対行けない場所感が凄く、わくわくしました！
最後の鍾乳洞探検はインディージョーンズのような秘境に行く事が出来ます！
道中も楽しかったですが、鍾乳洞の奥ゆかしさには思わず凄いと口にしてしまっていました。
かなり低い所もあるのでただ博物館を歩いて見るだけのようなイメージではなく、くぐり抜ける冒険感が楽しめます！！
休憩も入れると8時間くらいですが、あっという間に感じました。
ともさんと今回はりゅうせいさんが帯同して下さっていましたが、常にみんなに声をかけてコミュニケーションを取って下さるので、1人で参加している方も楽しめていました！
体力的な心配がある方も参加者がいつの間にか仲間になり助け合うので、全然問題無いと思います♪
西表島のツアーは沢山あるので選ぶのが難しかったですが、pipiさんに任せれば間違いないです！！
是非行ってみて下さい！
そして、2人ともイケメンでした(笑)
あー、楽しかった！！
有難うございました♪

I participated in a one-day tour for SUP and sea turtle snorkeling.

First, we experienced SUP at Imugya Marine Garden starting at 8:30. It was my first time trying SUP, but the instructions on how to stand and paddle were very thorough, so I was able to stand up quickly! Although the weather was bad with strong winds and some rain, the water was clear enough to see fish.

The snorkeling in the afternoon was scheduled for 14:30. I had half given up hope of seeing sea turtles since the guide mentioned we might not see any, but we encountered one just before the end of the session!

I think the weather conditions were poor that day, but I still had a great time and was very satisfied!

SUPとウミガメシュノーケリングの1日ツアーに参加しました。

まず最初に8:30からイムギャーマリンガーデンにてSUPを体験。今回がSUP初体験でしたが、立ち方や漕ぎ方を丁寧に説明してくださるのですぐに立てるようになりました！当日は強風で天気も悪く、雨が降るタイミングもありましたが海の透明度は十分で魚も見ることができました。

午後のシュノーケリングは時間が空いて14:30から。ウミガメは見れないかも…という話をガイドさんからされていたので半ば諦めていましたが、終了時間間際に出会うことができました！

天候的にはコンディションが悪い日だったとは思いますが、それでも十分に楽しめたので大満足です！

The boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island is very rocky, so I think it's a good idea to take medication for motion sickness. When we arrived by boat, we were guided by car. The mangroves were an incredible sight that made me feel like I wasn't in Japan. It was an experience I want to have again.

石垣島から西表島の船はとても揺れるので飲み薬等で対策をしておいた方がいいと思います。
船で到着すると車で案内してくださいました。
マングローブは日本とは思えない光景で感動しました。
また行きたいと思う体験でした。

I received notice the day before that the snorkeling location would be changed due to the typhoon, so this time it was switched to just SUP.

It was my first experience with SUP. On the day, there was a bit of a strong headwind coming from the sea, and since it was my first time, I was worried about whether I could paddle. However, after receiving a thorough lecture and practicing while sitting, I was able to stand up and paddle more easily than I expected. The weather was clear, and the surrounding greenery looked vibrant, plus I could see fish, making the scenery very beautiful. On the way back, I had a tailwind, so it was easy to move without paddling.

Lying on the SUP and listening to the sound of the waves while looking up at the blue sky was incredibly beautiful! Since I couldn't do many activities due to the typhoon, I was able to take a lot of photos and create wonderful memories! Even as a beginner, I enjoyed it without falling even once, so I recommend this tour to anyone who hasn't tried it before.

前日に台風の影響でシュノーケリングの場所が変更になると連絡をいただき、今回はSUPのみに変更していただきました。

初めてのSUP体験でした。
当日は海からやや強めの向かい風が吹いていて、初めてということもあり漕げるか不安でした。
最初に丁寧にレクチャーしてもらったり、座って練習したりして思ったよりすんなり立って漕ぐことができました。快晴ということもあり周りの緑も映えて、魚も見えたりと景色もとても良かったです。帰りは追い風で漕がなくても進むので楽ちんでした。
SUPに寝転んで波の音を聴きながら見上げた青空がとってもとってもとっても綺麗でした！
台風の影響でなかなかアクティビティが出来なかったので、写真もたくさん撮っていただいて最高の思い出ができました！
初心者でも一度も落ちずに楽しめたので、やったことない人にもおすすめのツアーです。

It was a SUP experience in unstable weather, but our guide made it enjoyable, allowing us to appreciate it as a valuable experience. It was great to see many creatures since it was raining. The mangroves were very mysterious.
It was my first time on a SUP, and I was worried about falling, but it was much more stable than I expected, and I got used to it quickly. The freedom of maneuvering was also high, and it was fun!
Next, I would like to participate in a night tour.

天候が不安定な中でのSUP体験でしたが、ガイドさんが楽しませて下さったのでこれもまた貴重な体験として楽しむことができました。雨が降っていたのでいきものがたくさん見られてよかったです。マングローブはとても神秘的でした。
SUPは初めてで、落ちたりしないか不安でしたが思っていたよりも全然安定していてすぐに慣れました。操縦の自由度も高く、面白かったです！
次は夜のツアーに参加してみたいです。

I have experienced this a few times, but it was her first time and she was a bit anxious. The tour took place while a typhoon was approaching, with high waves and strong winds, but the coach chose the course based on our comfort level while we practiced!

At first, we practiced in the calm bay, and after getting a little used to it, we were able to experience the rough waves of the open sea! It was safe and very enjoyable!

They carefully taught us various ways to ride until the sunset and it got dark (^_^) I will definitely rely on you again when I go to Miyako Island! Thank you very much!

僕は何度か経験がありましたが彼女は初めてで少し不安がっていました。台風が近づき、波は高く風も強い中でのツアーでしたが、コーチのお兄さんが練習しながら慣れ度合いに合わせてコースを選んでくれました！

初めは波の静かな湾内で練習をし、少し慣れてからは荒れた外洋の波の中も体験させてくれました！
安全にとても楽しかったです！

夕日が沈んで暗くなるまでいろんな乗り方を丁寧に教えてくれました(^_^)
また宮古島に行くときはぜひお世話になります！
ありがとうございました！

I requested this because I wanted to cross the mangroves on a SUP and go snorkeling at Barasu Island!

I think the content for SUP and snorkeling is similar across companies, so I’ll share what was great about PiPi!

Our guide was a calm yet friendly person named Connie! Our group had a higher age range, but she managed it well, allowing us to chat with others on the tour and enjoy the experience. Her explanations were thorough and kind, which was very nice!

The tour included photos, but I wasn’t sure how many we would get, so I was planning to take my smartphone for pictures. However, I didn’t need to bring it because they took so many great shots! There were also many photos taken without us even noticing. Of course, when we asked for photos, they happily obliged and responded well to our needs! They captured not just us but also the scenery and flowers explained during the tour, which made me, as a travel lover, very happy. I’ve participated in various tours in Okinawa, but this was the most photos I’ve ever received!

At the end, Connie recommended a bento shop, which had a good balance of nutrition and was delicious!

Additionally, what helped the most with PiPi was their thorough understanding of the ferry schedules and weather, and their coordination with the ferry staff. They informed us the day before that the ferry to Uehara had been canceled and explained in detail what we should do the next day. I had reserved the ferry in advance, but it was automatically canceled due to a typhoon, so we had to rebook on-site. The timing had changed to an earlier temporary ferry, and I would have ended up on the wrong ferry if I hadn’t been informed beforehand.

They also told us to call the ferry company for our return, but PiPi handled that communication for us. They adjusted the tour to fit the ferry schedule, so there was no unnecessary waiting time!

It was unfortunate that we couldn’t go to Barasu Island due to the typhoon, but on the other hand, I vowed to make a comeback! I look forward to working with you again!

西表島でのアクティビティで、マングローブをSUPで渡りたかったこと、バラス島でシュノーケリングしたかったことでこちらにお願いしました！

SUPやシュノーケリングに関してはどこの会社さんも内容は同じだと思うので、PiPiさんの良かったところを書きます！

ガイドは落ち着いている中にも、親しみやすさがあるコニーさんという方でした！私たちのグループは年齢層が高かったのですが、いい感じにまとめて下さり、他の一緒のツアーの方ともお話したり、楽しくツアーが出来ました。
説明も丁寧で、親切でとても良かったです！
ツアーは写真付きということでどれくらい撮ってもらえるか分からなかったので、自分でもスマフォを持って写真撮ろうとしてましたが、持っていかなくても良かったくらいたくさん撮ってくださいました！
気付かない間に撮られていた写真も沢山ありました☆
もちろん、写真撮ってください！というと、いいですよ～！と撮ってもらえて、こちらのニーズにもしっかり対応してくださいました！
景色や説明してくれたお花など、人以外の写真もしっかり撮って下さってて、旅好きとしては嬉しかったです。
沖縄好きで、色んなツアーに参加してきましたが、一番多くの写真を撮ってもらえました！
最後にコニーさんおすすめのお弁当やさんも教えてくれましたが、栄養バランスや彩りも良く美味しかったです♪

あと、PiPiさんで、何より助かったのがフェリーの運航状況や天候をしっかり把握してたり、フェリーの方とも連携が取れていたこと。
前日に上原行きのフェリーの欠航が決まったことを教えてくださり、次の日、どうしたらいいか、というのを細かく説明してくれました。
事前にフェリーを予約していたのですが、台風で自動キャンセルになってたので、当日、現地で取り直しになりました。時間も臨時便で早い時間に変更になっており、予約していたフェリー会社も変更しないとってたので、事前に聞いていなかったらフェリーも間違ったフェリーに乗ってしまうとこでした。
帰りもフェリー会社から電話してください、と言われていたのですが、PiPiさんがやり取りしてくださってました。フェリーの時間に合わせてツアーも調整してくださり、無駄な待ち時間がなかったです♪

台風の影響でバラス島には行けず、残念でしたが、逆にリベンジを誓いました☆また宜しくお願いします！

I was picked up at the island terminal, and during the car ride, the guide shared various information about Ishigaki Island while we traveled for about an hour. We started with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). After a brief lecture on how to ride the SUP, we leisurely moved across the calm sea without any waves, which felt absolutely wonderful.

After that, we drove again and had about an hour of free time for lunch at Kabira Bay. There was plenty of time to ride the glass-bottom boat, but since we had snorkeling planned afterward, my friend and I decided to take out some sata andagi and drinks from a nearby shop and spent some time just gazing at the sea.

After our free time, we drove again to go snorkeling. We walked over some rocky areas, but they provided marine shoes, which was reassuring (they asked for our shoe sizes in advance). After about a 10-minute walk, we reached the snorkeling spot. As we floated in the incredibly clear water, we were able to see many fish and sea turtles! At the end, we were also guided to a cave where we could see stalactites, which left us very satisfied.

I thought there would be a shower available, but after snorkeling, we stopped by a river to rinse off with river water. However, since I would be taking a shower back at the hotel, it wasn't a problem at all. My friend had a bit of trouble with fogging in her goggles during snorkeling, but the staff quickly helped by going to buy some mineral water, which was a great relief. They also took many photos and sent them to us via Line, so we were very satisfied!

It was a tour I would definitely like to join again. Thank you very much!

離島ターミナルまで迎えに来ていただき、車中ではガイドの方から石垣島の色々な情報を教えてもらいながら小一時間移動して、まずはSUPから始めました。
初めにSUPの乗り方について簡単にレクチャーを受けた後、波もなく穏やかな海をのんびり移動、最高に気持ちよかったです。
その後また車で移動、川平湾でいったん昼食を兼ねてフリータイムが１時間程度ありました。
グラスボートに乗る時間も充分にありますが、この後シュノーケリング予定なので私と友人は近くのお店でサーターアンダギーとドリンクをテイクアウトして、ぼーっと海を眺めて過ごしました笑

フリータイム後はまたまた車で移動して、シュノーケリングへ。
結構岩場を歩きますが、マリンシューズを貸してくれるので安心です。（事前に靴のサイズ聞かれました。）
１０分程度歩いてシュノーケリングスポットへ。
驚くほど透明度の高い海をのんびり漂うように移動していると、たくさんの魚やウミガメを見ることができました！
最後、洞窟もちょっと案内してもらえて、鍾乳石も見れたので大満足です。

シャワーはあるのかと思っていましたが、シュノーケリング終わってから途中川に寄って川の水で潮を流しましたがどうせホテル帰ってからシャワーを浴びるのでこれでも問題ないです笑
友人がシュノーケリングの途中から目に曇り止めが入ったようで、目が開けられなくなるトラブルがありましたが、ミネラルウォーターを買いに行ってくれたりと迅速に対応していただき大変助かりました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれてLineで送ってくれたので大満足です！
また是非参加したいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

★Paddle through the mangroves to the waterfalls at Clarke!
At first, I was worried about whether I could handle the SUP, but I got the hang of it quickly!
I had so much fun avoiding the mangrove trees by sitting, lying down, bumping into others, and getting stuck at times, haha. I ended up completely soaked while playing. What was the highlight? The guide was hilarious, haha!

★Water buffalo ride to Yubu Island!
On the way there, the water buffalo moved slowly and leisurely to Yubu Island. On the way back, the water buffalo walked briskly, overtaking the ones that left earlier to head to Iriomote Island, haha. There was a reason for this difference!
I enjoyed listening to interesting stories and had a great time!

Iriomote Island☆ I’ll be back for an overnight stay next time!!

★SUPでマングローブを抜けクラークの滝へ！
最初はSUPを乗りこなせるか不安でしたが、すぐに慣れることができました！
マングローブの木々を避けるために座ったり、寝そべったり、他の方とぶつかったり、身動きがとれなくなったりw　とにかく楽しかったです！
ずぶ濡れになりながら遊びましたー。何より一番の見所？はガイドさんが面白かったですw

★水牛で由布島へ！
行きの水牛は、ゆったりとのんびり由布島へ。帰りの水牛はスタスタ歩き、先に出発した水牛を追い越して西表島へw　この差は…ちゃんと理由があったんですね。
面白話も聞けて楽しく過ごせました!

西表島☆今度は一泊しに戻ってきます！！

Due to strong winds, we decided not to go to Kabira Bay as we had wanted, and I received a call the day before asking if I would like to change to a different safe location. I was hesitant about participating, but I ended up changing to a half-day snorkeling course. The sea was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see many corals and fish! A friend who joined me seemed to have hit a rock and ended up with a scrape, so it might be a good idea to wear swimwear like tights when participating. Although it was a sudden course change, I’m glad I participated, and I would consider changing courses again if there are any changes in the future.

強風ということて行きたかった川平湾に行かないことになり、別の安全な場所でのコース変更はどうですかと前日にお電話を頂きました。参加を悩みましたが、半日のシュノーケルのコースに変更していただきました。海もきれいで、サンゴも魚もたくさん見ることができて満足です！一緒に行った友人が岩に当たったようで擦り傷を作ってしまっていたので、参加する際はタイツのような水着での参加がいいかもしれません。急なコース変更でしたが、参加して良かったと思うので、また参加の際変更があってもコース変更で検討したいと思いました。

Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we went snorkeling at a different spot, but the sea there was also incredibly beautiful, and we had a great time.
It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding, and there were moments when it was a bit physically demanding, but the guide helped us out, which was a relief!
I didn't bring my smartphone, so I was very satisfied that we were able to get beautiful photos taken.
The guide was very kind, and we had a fulfilling day. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

台風の影響で青の洞窟は行けず、別ポイントでのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、そちらもすごく綺麗な海で十分に楽しめました。
SUPは初めての体験で体力的に少ししんどいタイミングもありましたが、ガイドの方が引っ張ってくださり、助かりました！
スマホを持っていかなかったので、綺麗な写真を撮っていただけたのも大満足です。
ガイドの方が大変親切で充実した1日を過ごすことができました。また機会があればお願いしたいです。

This was our first time at Kabira Bay, and for me, it was my first experience with SUP. Thanks to the detailed support from the beginning of the gathering to the preparation and explanation on-site, we were able to fully enjoy the beauty of Kabira Bay for the entire time.

On the day, the conditions were susceptible to wind, but thanks to the adjustments in posture and course setting, even as a beginner, I was able to safely reach the target point and take beautiful photos!

Considering the content, duration, and the guide's attentiveness, I highly recommend this tour for beginners at Kabira Bay and for those new to SUP.

　夫婦2人で、初めての川平湾、私にとっては初めてのSUP体験でしたが、集合から現地での準備や説明まで、きめ細やかにフォロー頂いたおかげで、時間一杯に川平湾の美しさを満喫出来ました。
　当日は、風の影響を受けやすい状況でしたが、体勢の入れ替えやコース設定のおかげで、初心者の私も無事に目標地点までたどり着き、綺麗な写真を撮って頂けました！
　内容、時間、ガイドさんの気遣い含めて、川平湾初心者、SUP初心者にはオススメのツアーです。

I went to Ishigaki with four friends in early September. Speaking of Ishigaki, it's all about Kabira Bay! I wanted to swim in the beautiful sea there, but it turned out swimming was prohibited... So, I searched for places around Kabira Bay where we could enjoy the sea and found this tour.

This tour allows you to fully enjoy the sea in one day, with SUP in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon! It was my first time trying SUP, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to move forward easily, and it became really fun as I got used to it. During snorkeling, I saw many fish I had never seen before, and the guide took lots of pictures underwater, so even a month later, I can look back at those memories.

For lunch, we were dropped off at Kabira Bay, where we could see the beautiful sea with glass-bottom boats floating on it.

If you come to Ishigaki, make sure to enjoy Kabira with this tour!

9月上旬に友達4人と石垣に行きました。石垣といえば川平湾！そこの綺麗な海で泳ぎたいなと思ったところ、遊泳禁止との事だったので…川平湾周辺で海を楽しめる所がないか探して、このツアーを見つけました。

このツアーでは午前中はSUP、午後はシュノーケリングと、一日で海を満喫できます！SUPは初めてだったのですが、コツを掴めばどんどん進んでいけるので、慣れてくるととても楽しいです。シュノーケリングでは見たこともない魚をたくさん見る事ができ、しかもガイドさんが海の中の写真をたくさん撮ってくれたので、1ヶ月たった今も思い出を見返す事ができてます。

ランチは川平湾で下ろして頂いたので、ガラスボートが浮かぶ綺麗な海を見ることができました。

石垣に来たらこのツアーで川平を楽しんでください！

The staff member was a very active and cheerful young man! The weather was sunny, but there were some waves due to a typhoon approaching, though it wasn't a problem. At first, he kindly taught us the points, and then during the practice, he watched closely and gave us advice. My partner fell into the sea several times, but since we were wearing life jackets, there was no danger of drowning. The staff took many photos with the sunset in the background, which was also very beautiful. Once we got the hang of it, he suggested challenges and competitions for us to ride on one paddleboard together, and we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout. This will likely become one of my best memories in Miyako Island. I definitely want to do this again when I come back. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

スタッフさんはとってもアクティブで元気いっぱいのお兄さんでした！天候は晴れでしたが台風が近づいていることもあり少し波がありましたが問題ありませんでした。最初は丁寧にポイントを教えてくださりその後は実践、最中近くで見守ってアドバイスをくれました。相方は何度も海に落ちていましたがライフジャケットを着ているので溺れることはないです。夕陽をバックにスタッフさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださいます。夕日もとても綺麗でした。ある程度慣れたら2人で一個のサップにのるチャレンジや競争など提案してくださり終始楽しむことができました。宮古島でI番の思い出になりそうです。今度来たときも絶対したいと思いました。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

On September 24th, we participated in a kayaking tour for two! The tour guide was friendly and gentlemanly, which made us feel at ease. We were delighted to receive many photos that he took and sent to us. We set off from Sunset Beach in Miyako Island and reached the area under Irabu Bridge to watch the sunset! The view was breathtaking! It became a wonderful memory of our Miyako trip as we paddled the canoe in sync and enjoyed the stunning scenery. Although it's difficult to see the sunset beautifully when there are clouds, we were blessed with good weather and had a fantastic experience, leaving us very satisfied! For those who are going, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness, as the canoe can sway with the waves. Also, it seems that it's quite rare to fall into the sea from the canoe, so I think it's a good idea to bring a waterproof case for your phone that you can hang around your neck! I was able to take pictures of the sunset from the canoe myself. Next, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding! Thank you very much.

9月24日2人でカヤックに参加しました！ツアーのガイドさんは気さくでかつ紳士的な方で、安心して参加できました。何枚も写真を撮って送って下さり、嬉しかったです◎宮古島サンセットビーチからカヌーで出発し、伊良部大橋の下あたりまできて夕日を見ました！絶景でした！また、2人で息を合わせてカヌーを漕いで絶景を眺めることが出来て宮古旅のいい思い出になりました！夕日は雲があると綺麗に見るのが難しいですが、天気にも恵まれとていい体験をさせてもらい、満足です！これから行く方にアドバイスですが、波でカヌーが揺れるので、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでくるといいかもしれないです。あと、カヌーはよっぽど海に落ちることはないそうなので、首からぶら掛ける携帯の防水ケースにスマホを入れて持っていくといいと思います！カヌーの上から自分で夕日を撮ったりできました(*^^*)
次はsupに挑戦してみたいです！ありがとうございました。

I was half excited and half anxious about my first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience, but the staff were kind and supportive, allowing me to relax and enjoy while watching the coral reefs and tropical fish. The yoga was also fun. Thank you very much.

初めてのSUPで楽しみと不安が半々でしたが、スタッフの方々が優しく丁寧にサポートしてくださり、サンゴ礁・熱帯魚を眺めながらリラックスして楽しむ事ができました。
ヨガも楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The trip from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island took longer than I expected at 50 minutes, but it was a day tour worth the time! I was able to enjoy the mangroves, limestone caves, and even land on Barasu Island all day long, and the guide shared various stories about the flora and fauna as well as the island itself.

I impulsively made the reservation just by looking at the title, so I thought I could check for snorkeling on-site, but it seems I needed to select it at the time of booking. For those making reservations in the future, please be careful about this. It was disappointing that there was no snorkeling, but now I have a reason to visit Iriomote Island again, and next time I want to join a tour for snorkeling!

石垣島から西表島まで片道50分と思ったよりも長旅でしたが、それだけの時間を掛けて訪れる価値のある一日ツアーでした！マングローブや、鍾乳洞、そしてバラス島上陸まで、一日中楽しむことができ、ガイドの方が動植物の説明から、島の話まで色々なお話をかけました。
タイトルだけをみて勢いで予約してしまったので、シュノーケリングの有無は現地確認かと思っていたのですが、予約時点で選択しないといけなかったようです。これから予約される方はご注意ください。シュノーケリングがなかったのは残念でしたが、また西表島に行く理由ができたので、次はシュノーケリングしにツアーに参加したいとおもいます！

The guide's explanations were very thorough and interesting, and they also took safety into consideration, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind! I was moved by how much we were able to connect with nature beyond my expectations!

ガイドさんの説明がとても丁寧で、かつ面白くて、安全にも配慮されており、安心して楽しめました！！
思った以上に自然に触れられて、感動でした！！

During my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I was blessed with good weather and was able to enjoy famous spots efficiently in just one day! The guide was very kind and provided great instructions for both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, which I really appreciated. We also took many beautiful photos, allowing me to keep wonderful memories. Additionally, I am grateful for the attentive responses to my detailed inquiries and questions during the reservation process. Thank you very much! I would love to request your services again next time!

初めての石垣島旅行にあたり、天気にも恵まれ、有名なスポットを効率よく1日で楽しめました!
シュノーケリング、SUPともにガイドさんが優
しくレクチャーして下さり、ありがたかったで

縞麗な写真もたくさん撮っていただき、思い出の写真も残すことができました。

ありがとうございました!
次の機会もぜひお願いしたいです！！

On this day, due to the influence of the waves, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning, followed by mangrove canoeing and trekking to a waterfall in the afternoon.
At Barasu Island, since it wasn't low tide in the morning, the coral island didn't appear, but we could stand, and the sea was beautiful both from the outside and inside, with plenty of fish, making it feel like we were in an aquarium (^ ^).
In the afternoon, we enjoyed mangrove canoeing and trekking. This was my first visit to Iriomote Island, and my first experience canoeing and trekking in the mangroves. It was a lot of fun, and our guide, Tomo-kun, took many photos and provided clear explanations about the plants and creatures in the mangroves, which made the experience even more enjoyable (^ - ^).
He also sent the photos via LINE right away, so we could see them immediately after the tour, which was great!
Thank you, Tomo-kun and everyone at PiPi!! I look forward to seeing you again when I visit Ishigaki Island (^ ^)!!

この日は、波の影響などで、午前はバラス島シュノーケリング、午後はマングローブカヌー、滝へのトレッキングをしました。
バラス島では、午前で干潮では無かったので珊瑚の島は出ませんでしたが、立つ事はでき、外からも中からもとても海が綺麗で、お魚も沢山いて、まるで水族館に居るようでした(^ ^)
午後は、マングローブカヌー、トレッキングで、
今回、西表島には初めて伺い、初めてマングローブでカヌー、トレッキングをしましたが、とても楽しく、ガイドのともくんがマングローブでも沢山の写真や、植物や生き物の説明もわかりやすく説明してくださり、より、マングローブを楽しめました(^-^)
写真もすぐLINEで送って下さり、ツアー後すぐ見ることが出来たので良かったです！
ともくん、PiPiの皆さん、ありがとうございました！！
また、石垣島に行く際にはよろしくお願い致します(^ ^)！！

I went during Silver Week! Even though it was a busy time, the small group size allowed us to experience everything without worry. We got to see mangroves while paddleboarding, took photos at a cool waterfall, and enjoyed the flowers and fish—overall, it was so healing!! The snorkeling was amazing too; the sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming around was incredibly satisfying!!! In the end, I saw a sea snake, which surprised me and made me stumble, but it was definitely the most shocking moment and unforgettable.

シルバーウィークのときに行きました！
こんな時期ですが、少人数制で心配せずに体験ができました。
SUPをしながらマングローブをみたり、クーラーの滝で写真撮ってくれたり、お花やお魚みたり、とにかく癒されました！！
シュノーケルも海がまず綺麗で透明感あって、泳いでるだけで大満足！！！
最後に海蛇見れて、驚いて足つっちゃったけど、なんだかんだ一番の衝撃で忘れられない。
