All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

Although I was the only participant, my guide was very accommodating and taught me a lot about Yakushima. They were knowledgeable and experienced, and had a rich sensibility, allowing me to fully enjoy the forest.

The mystical forest, with its damp, dark moss-covered trees and rocks after the rain, was enchanting. At the moment when light streamed in at an angle, a mist that floated like a haze emerged, and steam rose gently from the moss, making it feel alive and breathing. The leaves of the trees created swaying shadows on the green rocks, and raindrops on the moss sparkled like transparent orbs of light. In an instant, it seemed like a playful prism of light, as the droplets shimmered like red and blue jewels.

The scenery was truly a gift from the forest, woven together by the weather conditions of temperature, humidity, and the interplay of light.

参加者が私一人だったのに、快くガイドしていただきたくさん屋久島について教えていただきました。
知識も経験も豊富で、しかも感性の豊かな方で、森を堪能することができました。
雨上がりのしっとりした薄暗い苔むす木や岩の神秘の森。ふっと光が斜めに差し込んだ瞬間、浮かび上がる霞のような漂うミスト、苔からは水蒸気がふわふわと立ち上り、生きて呼吸をしているようです。。緑の岩の上に木々の葉が、さやさやと揺れる影を作り、苔に雨の雫が透明な光の玉となって煌めきます。刹那、光のプリズムのいたずらか、雫が赤や蒼の宝石のようにきらきらと輝くのです。
気温や湿度、光の差し加減といった気象条件が織りなす、まさに森からの贈り物のような景色でした。

On the day of the trip, the waves were high, so we couldn't reach the Blue Cave, but it was great to play with tropical fish near the coral. I started to feel seasick from the waves halfway through, but it turned into a good memory. Thank you to the instructor for kindly guiding us.

当日は波が高く青の洞窟まで行けませんでしたが、手前の珊瑚の所で熱帯魚とたわむれて良かったです。
途中から波に酔って気分が悪くなりましたが、良い思い出になりました。
インストラクターの方も親切に案内して頂き有り難うございました。

Winter SUP was a bit concerning due to the weather not being very good, but when we actually arrived at the location, I was surprised by how blue the ocean was! My excitement soared.

We participated as a pair, and one coach was dedicated to us, providing constant guidance. They took us to spots where we could see coral reefs, beautiful views of the ocean, and even places where we could see clownfish, allowing us to have a lot of fun.

Additionally, since the SUP boards were clear, we could feel very close to the fish.

During the SUP session, they took a lot of photos for us and even did drone filming! After the drone shoot, they edited the footage and provided us with the data, which really boosted our excitement!

It was the best experience that will remain in our memories. Thank you so much!♡

冬のSUP、天気があまりよくなかったため、どんな感じなのか…と多少心配なところがあったのですが、実際に現地に着くと、海がとても青くてびっくり！テンションが上がりました。

2人で参加したのですが、1人コーチがつき、つきっきりで指導してくれました。珊瑚礁が見えるスポット、海が綺麗に見えるスポット、ニモが見えるスポットなど次々と案内してくださり、とても楽しむことができました。

また、SUPがクリアなので、魚をとっても間近に感じみることができました。

SUP中は、写真をたくさん撮ってくださるとともに、ドローン撮影までしてくれました！
ドローン撮影は撮影後、編集までしてデータをくれてテンション爆上がりです！

想い出に残る最高の体験ができました♡ありがとうございました！！

I was able to meet a sea turtle and a clownfish (Nemo) during my first snorkeling experience.

I wanted to see a sea turtle, so I made a reservation two nights ago. It seems that due to the weather, the location was changed until the day before, but on this day, we went to Shinjo Beach, where the encounter rate with sea turtles is very high.

Both of us were beginners, but our guide, Matsuura, taught us patiently, so we had a great time snorkeling. After finishing, we exchanged LINE contacts to receive photos. During that time, he also shared tourist information about Miyako Island. Thanks to him, even though we came with no plans, we were able to enjoy a meal at a delicious restaurant.

初めてのシュノーケリングでウミガメとカクレクマノミ（ニモ）に会えました。

ウミガメを見たいと思い、２日前の夜に申し込み。
前日までは天気の都合で別の場所だったようですが、この日はウミガメ遭遇率がとても高いという新城海岸でした。
二人とも初めてでしたが、ガイドの松浦さんが丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しくシュノーケリングができました。
終了後、写真を送ってもらうためにLINEを交換。その際に宮古島の観光情報を教えて下さいました。おかげで、ノープランで来たのに美味しいお店でご飯を食べられました。

I was deeply moved to see the Milky Way for the first time. Under the Milky Way and a sky full of stars, we had a great time taking pictures while listening to stories about the stars. They happily responded to our requests, and we were able to take many wonderful photos. Both my husband and I were very satisfied. I definitely want to request this again when we go to Miyako Island.

初めて天の川を見て感動しました。天の川と満天の星空の下、星のお話をしていただきながら楽しく撮影して下さいました。リクエストにもこころよくこたえていただいて素敵な写真がたくさん撮れました、夫も私も大変満足しました。また宮古島に行く時にはぜひお願いしたいと思っています。

I participated in a one-day tour of Yubu Island for mangrove canoeing (trekking).

It was our first time on Iriomote Island, but we had a great time thanks to the instructor's thorough lectures and extensive knowledge!

The homemade soki soba and bread served for lunch were both exquisite.

I was able to refresh myself by spending a leisurely time surrounded by nature after a long while. I would like to visit again in a slightly warmer season if I have the chance.

マングローブカヌー(トレッキング)→由布島観光の1日ツアーに参加させて頂きました。

夫婦共々西表島は初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方の丁寧なレクチャーと豊富な知識で、大いに楽しめました！

お昼ご飯に振舞って頂いたソーキそばとパンはどとらも自家製とのことで絶品でした。

久しぶりに自然たっぷりの中、ゆったりとした時間を過ごしてリフレッシュできました。
機会があれば少し暖かい季節にも訪れてみたいです。

The starry sky in Miyako Island was even more filled with stars than I imagined. On the day of the shoot, the staff member who took the photos helped me with cute poses, which was a great help!

All the photos with the starry sky turned out beautiful, and I am very satisfied.

Also, the props used during the shoot were incredibly cute, so I highly recommend them.

Thank you for the polite and kind service!

宮古島の星空が想像以上に星がいっぱいで、
撮影当日、撮影いただいたスタッフのお兄さんに可愛いポーズを教えていただいて助かりました⭐︎

星空との写真はどれも綺麗で
大満足です♪

後、撮影と時の小物がめちゃくちゃ可愛いのでオススメです。

丁寧で親切な対応いただきありがとうございました！

Until this tour started, the weather was rainy and we couldn't see the starry sky, but we were able to see a large number of coconut crabs! I think it was a valuable experience.

このツアーが始まるまで天気は雨で星空は見れませんでしたが、大量のヤシガニを見る事ができました！
貴重な体験をしたと思います

Thanks to our guide's consideration, we were able to trek without any strain. They communicated the timing for breaks and what to expect on the upcoming course, which helped me mentally prepare for this new place, even though I was confident in my physical stamina.

I was delighted to be able to take satisfying photos at the scenic spots. I believe the timing of my visit played a role, but it wasn't too crowded, allowing for a deeply moving trekking experience while listening to stories about Yakushima and Jomon Sugi.

I brought my familiar gear, which made things stress-free, and I even had enough energy left to summit Mount Miyanoura solo the next day!

Ordering the bento was definitely the right choice. There were no convenience stores or shops nearby where I stayed, and the supermarket 15 minutes away could run out of food depending on the time of day if you didn't go before the evening.

It was a strange experience to see the many expressions of Yakusugi, feeling as if I were in the sea despite being in the mountains. I would love to participate again with my family next time.

担当ガイドさんのご配慮で無理なくトレッキングが出来ました。休憩のタイミングや今後のコースの様子を伝えてくださり、体力に自信はありましたが初めて向かう場所への心の準備ができました。
見どころの場所では、満足のいく写真を撮って頂けて嬉しかったです。
参加した時期もあるとは思いますが、そこまで混雑せず屋久島や縄文杉にまつわるお話を聴きながらとても感慨深くトレッキング出来ました。

自分の使い慣れた装備を持って行ったのでストレスなく、むしろ体力余って
翌日ソロで宮之浦岳も登頂できました笑

またお弁当オーダーして正解でした。宿泊した近隣にコンビニや商店はなく、片道15分のスーパーは夕方前に行かないと時間帯によっては枯渇する食べ物もありました・・

山なのに海の中にいるかのような屋久杉の沢山の表情を見れたのは不思議な体験でした。
今度は家族で参加したいです。

I booked a night tour in Iriomote Island through VELTRA. Since it was November, we couldn't see the stars we were hoping for, but kayaking at night while learning about fireflies, the mangrove ecosystem, and the night sky from our guide was a very interesting experience! The tour lasted just over 60 minutes, so it would have been perfect if we could have enjoyed it a little longer. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience on the southern island!

VELTRAさんから西表島のナイトツアーを予約しました。
11月だったのでそんなにお目当ての星空は見えなかったけど、綺麗な満月の中、夜行虫やマングローブの生態系、ガイドさんの夜空の講習を受けながらのナイトカヤックはとても面白い体験をさせていただきました！
時間が60分強だったので、あと少し長い時間楽しめれば言うこと無しです♪
南の島での面白い体験を教えてもらい、本当にありがとうございました！

I learned a lot about the mangroves and the Hija River, and they also took photos at key points. The detailed explanations made for a very fulfilling experience! I was a bit worried since it was my first time kayaking, but it turned out to be the best memory! ^_^

マングローブ、比謝川の知識をたくさん教えていただきながら、要所要所で写真も撮ってくださいました。丁寧な説明でとっても充実した時間になりました！初めてのカヤックで心配もありましたが最高の思い出です^_^

I had an experience on November 27th. They provided wetsuits for rent, and all I brought was tea, a towel, and a swimsuit. The wetsuits and shoes were of good quality, and even with the water temperature at this time (24.25℃), I didn't feel cold at all! The instructor was kind and explained everything in detail, from how to use the SUP paddle to how to stand up. I had tried SUP at a different place the day before and couldn't stand at all, but everyone who participated that day was able to stand up. They took a lot of photos, and they were all really wonderful pictures. During snorkeling, we saw various fish and even met Nemo! The instructor provided various explanations and let us touch starfish, which doubled the fun! I rented a GoPro for 3000 yen, but the photos we took ourselves couldn't compare to the instructor's photos (laughs). The sea, the sandy beach, and the fish made it a wonderful island. Right after the experience, we all said we should come back here next year! ♥

11月27日に体験させて頂きました。ウェットスーツなどは貸出できて、実際に持って行ったのは、お茶とタオルと水着でした。ウェットスーツや靴も立派な感じのもので、この時期の水温(24.25℃)でも寒さをあまり感じませんでした！インストラクターの方も優しい人で、SUPのパドルの使い方から立ち方まで詳しく教えてくれて、前日も違うところでSUPして全然立てなかったのですが、その日は参加した全員立つことができました。写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、本当に素敵な写真ばかりでした。シュノーケリングでは、色んな魚もみれますし、ニモにも会えました！インストラクターの方が色々な説明をしてくれたり、ヒトデを触ったりとより楽しさが倍増しました！GoProも3000円でお借りしたんですが、やはり自分たちでとった写真はインストラクターの方の写真には負けますね(笑)海も砂浜も魚も素晴らしい島でした。体験後すぐにみんなで来年もここに行こうと言っていたところです♥

The guide was very cheerful and attentive, making the experience enjoyable throughout, and time flew by. They took a lot of photos for us, and even transferred the data to our smartphones for free, which made us very satisfied. Thank you very much. The cost performance was excellent, and I definitely recommend it!

ガイドさんが非常に明るく丁寧に対応して下さり、終始非常に楽しく、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。写真も沢山撮っていただけて、しかもデータを無料でスマホに転送してもらえ、大満足です。有難うございました。
コスパも最高で、間違いなくオススメです！

The tour was originally scheduled for a full day, but due to weather conditions, we could only go in the morning since we couldn't do the snorkeling at the Blue Cave in the afternoon. The kayaking was great, with beautiful sunlight reflecting off the sea. The instructor took a lot of photos for us, and we were very satisfied. This was my third time with Pipi Tours, and I can always trust them with the tour, so I’m definitely a repeat customer. Haha! Although this was a morning tour, I would like to join another tour when I visit Ishigaki Island again.

1日のツアー予定でしたが、天候の都合上午後の青の洞窟シュノーケルには行くことができない為午前中のみとなりました。
カヤックは天気も良く、海に日光が反射してとても綺麗でした。
インストラクターの方にも沢山写真を取っていただき大満足でした。
pipiツアーさんは3回目で毎回安心してツアーを任せられますので完全にリピーターです。笑
今回は午前中のツアーでしたが、また石垣島に行くときはツアーに参加したいと思います。

Sunset Kayak!
An experiential activity to create memories during my trip to Okinawa!
I was able to spend the best time with my dear friend in a very beautiful sea, along with a stunning sunset!
The staff were very kind, and on top of that, they were incredibly handsome locals!

サンセットカヤック！
沖縄旅行の思い出作りの一つとして体験型アクティビティ！
とても綺麗な海で、とても綺麗な夕陽と一緒に、大切な友人と最高な時を過ごすことができました！
スタッフの方もとても優しく、さ！ら！に！とってもイケメンなうみんちゅでした！

The weather in Ishigaki Island was windy and a bit concerning, but the sea was incredibly beautiful and it was the best experience. Snorkeling was enough; I was so moved by the clarity of the water that I felt like I could reach out and touch the fish. I'm glad I had this experience.

The mangrove tour was also relaxing and fun, and even older participants could enjoy it fully.

I was impressed by the tour photos. I thought they would be an extra cost, but they were included in the tour, allowing me to keep wonderful memories. I am filled with gratitude for our tour guide, Asuka.

Although I'm not young anymore, if I have the chance to go again, I would love for Asuka to be my guide. The quiz was very informative and interesting.

石垣島の天気は風が強く不安でしたが
海はとてもきれいで最高でした。
シュノーケルで十分、手を伸ばしたら魚に触れそうで海のきれいさにとても感動しました。
体験してよかったです。

マングローブツアーではカヤックものんびり楽しく高齢でも十分楽しめました。

ツアーの写真に感動です。別金かと思いきやツアーに含まれていて良い思い出として残すことができました。ツアーガイドのあすかさんに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

私は若くはないですが、また行ける機会があればあすかさんにガイドしてほしいです。
クイズがとてもためになりおもしろかったです。

Our guide, Matsuura, attended to us and thanks to his thoughtful and gentle words at every moment, even beginners could participate without any anxiety. I was able to meet and swim with the long-awaited sea turtles, and I am incredibly grateful!

On top of that, Matsuura's photography skills are outstanding, and I was even more moved after returning from the sea! He sent us so many wonderful photos that I can't even choose just one.

Not only as a guide but also considering the direction of the sun, the people, and the turtles, Matsuura captured our memories with professional photos. Thank you so much!!!

ガイドの松浦さんがアテンドしてくださいましたが、細やかに優しくその都度言葉がけをしたり教えてくださったおかげで、初心者でも何の不安もなく参加し、そして念願のウミガメさんに会い一緒に泳ぐことができて大感謝です！
その上、松浦さんの写真の腕前がピカイチで海から戻ってからもさらに大感動！！
本当にたくさんのどれも素晴らしくて1枚には選べないくらいの、素敵な写真を送ってくれました。
ガイドだけでなく、太陽の向きや人の向き、カメさんの向きを考えてプロの写真で思い出を残してくれた松浦さん、本当にありがとうございました！！！

Due to the weather, we changed from Shinjo Beach to Shigira Beach. They lent us life jackets and kindly explained how to wear them. Since we entered the sea from a beach where we could stand, it felt safe.

There were many corals and fish in the water, and we occasionally ventured into deeper areas, but thanks to the life jackets, we could enjoy ourselves without worry.

Although we didn't encounter a turtle right away, after changing direction for a while, we spotted a swimming turtle and were thrilled to swim alongside it! When taking photos with the turtle, they made sure to coordinate so that no one else would be in the shot, allowing us to capture wonderful pictures. After the turtles, they took us to see Nemo, and thanks to Matsuura-san and another guide (whose name I forgot, but he was very knowledgeable about turtles), we were able to create the best memories of Miyako Island.

I would love to join this tour again when I visit Miyako Island!

天候により新城海岸からシギラビーチに変更でした。ライフジャケットを貸していただき(ライフジャケットの装着方法も丁寧に教えていただきました)足の付くビーチから海に入るので安心感があります。
海の中は珊瑚や魚がたくさんいて時折こんな深いとこ！まで行ったりしましたがライフジャケットのおかげで安心し楽しめることができました。
カメにすぐには出会えませんでしたが方向を変えしばらくすると泳いでるカメを発見しカメと一緒に泳ぐことができ大感動しました！
カメと写真を撮る際もグループ毎に他の人が入らないようお声掛けの配慮をしていただき素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。カメのあとはニモを見に連れて行ってくださったりと、松浦さん、もう1人のガイドさん(お名前を忘れてしまいましたがカメにとても詳しい方です)お二人のおかげで最高の宮古島の思い出を作る事ができました。
また宮古島に行ったらこのツアーに参加したいです！

I was filled with anxiety, but the presence of a knowledgeable guide made a big difference, allowing me to enjoy the walk. I think it would have been even better if trekking poles were available for rent.

不安だらけでしたが、知識が豊富なガイドさんの存在は大きく、楽しんで歩くことができました。レンタルグッズにトレッキングポールがあるとなお良かったと思います。

The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave and ended up at Ohsaki Beach, but in the morning, we had a snorkeling course. To be honest, I was scared to snorkel because I couldn't swim, but with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs). Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery and got absorbed in the beautiful ocean views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle, and although the weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, I had a great time! I was really healed by the beautiful sea and fish, and I'm glad I had this experience! The guide, a young man and woman, were also kind and took a lot of photos for us, for which I am grateful ❤️.

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the clouds cleared up, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so connected to the sky and the horizon, and it was incredibly soothing (^0_0^).

天候が悪く、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりましたが、朝はシュノーケルのコースとなりました。
正直泳げなかったので、シュノーケルやるのに怖じ気づきましたが、ガイドさんと友達に励まし後押しされ、頑張って進めました(笑)体力的に心配はあったものの、なんとかついていって、途中からは海の中を鑑賞するのも余裕が出てきて、海の景色に吸い込まれて楽しめました。ウミガメにも奇跡的に会え、天気は曇りで微妙でしたが、満喫できました〜！
キレイな海と魚に本当に癒されて体験できて良かったです！ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️
午後はSUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)

The weather was bad, and our plans changed. Instead of going to the Blue Cave in the morning, we ended up at Ohsaki Beach (what a shame).

Honestly, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since I couldn't swim well, and when I first entered the water and put my face in, I felt a little scared. However, with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs).

Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I started to enjoy observing the underwater scenery, getting absorbed in the beautiful views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle! The weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, but I had a great time!

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course at Kabira Bay. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the sun started to break through, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so relaxed, merging with the sky and the horizon (^0_0^).

I’m really glad I got to experience the beautiful sea and fish! The guide and his partner were also very kind (I fell off the board a few times, and they helped pull me back up, haha), and I’m grateful for all the photos they took! ❤️

天候が悪く、当初予定と変更。朝シュノーケルのコースとなり、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりました（残念）
正直泳げなかったので、シュノーケルやるのに不安を感じており、いざ海に入り顔をつけると少し怖じ気づきましたが、ガイドさんと友達に励まし後押しされ、頑張って進めました(笑)
体力的に心配はあったものの、なんとかついていって、途中からは海の中を鑑賞するのも余裕が出てきて、海の景色に吸い込まれて楽しめました。ウミガメにも奇跡的に会え、天気は曇りで微妙でしたが、満喫できました〜！
午後は川平湾SUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)
キレイな海と魚に本当に癒されて体験できて良かったです！
ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切（途中何回かボードから落ち、最後は引っ張って頂きましたww）でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️

I participated with my 5-year-old son in late November. Due to bad weather, we ended up snorkeling at a different beach, but we were grateful they accommodated this since it was my son's request. On the day of the event, it got cold halfway through, and my son and I decided to turn back, but I think it was great that there were two guides who helped us make that decision without any pressure. My son was very satisfied to have experienced snorkeling.

We had plenty of time for lunch, so we were able to change out of our wet swimsuits. In the afternoon, the weather improved, and we were able to relax. Although it was a canoe course, my son was thrilled to be able to ride on the guide's SUP. It was also a lot of fun to communicate with others who were participating in the same tour.

11月下旬に5才の息子と参加しました。
天候不良のため別のビーチでのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、息子の希望だったので開催してくれてありがたかったです。
当日は途中で寒くなってしまい、我々親子のみ途中で引き返す事になりましたが、ガイドの方が2名で対応されていたので、無理せず戻る判断ができてとても良かったと思います。息子もシュノーケリングを経験できたのでとても満足しています。

お昼は十分に時間があったので濡れた水着を着替えることもできました。
午後からは天気も良く、ゆっくり過ごすことができました。カヌーのコースでしたが、息子はガイドのお兄さんのSUPにも乗せて頂くことができて嬉しそうでした。
同じツアーに参加していた方ともコミュニケーションがとれてとても楽しかったです。

This was my first experience with marine activities in my life. Of course, it was also my first time doing stand-up paddleboarding, so I was a bit nervous at first, but even someone like me, who isn't very athletic, was able to enjoy it! The instructor kindly taught us how to use the paddle, so I think those who might say, "I'm not good at sports, can I do this?" can try it with confidence!

The clear paddleboard was more transparent than I expected (I thought it would be a bit cloudy), and I could see well into the water, so just by looking down, I could see colorful fish swimming up close. I was surprised by the sea snake swimming around! If you're going to do paddleboarding, I definitely recommend the clear paddleboard over the regular one, as you can see into the ocean!

They took a lot of photos and videos for us, and I appreciated that they suggested great poses for the pictures. On the day of the experience, the wind was strong, so I thought flying the drone might be difficult, but they said, "We can just barely fly it!" and managed to capture some aerial footage! Even though it was a cloudy day, the footage showed us paddleboarding over the beautiful blue sea, reminding me of the stunning colors of the ocean in Miyako Island. After the experience, in addition to the photos and videos taken on-site, they also sent us a highlight video with background music via AirDrop. This video was truly moving, and I ended up crying after saying goodbye to the staff... The staff members were incredibly kind and had wonderful smiles. This has undoubtedly become my best memory from my trip to Miyako Island. Thank you very much!

私にとって人生初のマリンアクティビティ体験でした。もちろんサップをするのも初めてだったので最初こそ緊張しましたが、運動神経がいまいちな私でも楽しく体験することができました！インストラクターの方が丁寧にパドルの使い方を教えてくれるので「運動が苦手だけど、できるかな？」と言う方も安心してトライできると思います！
クリアサップは思っていたよりも透明で(もう少し曇っているものかと思っていました)水の中がよく見えるので、足元に目を向けるだけで泳いでるカラフルな魚を間近に見れます。ニョロニョロ泳ぐウミヘビにはビックリでした！サップをするなら普通のサップよりも、海の中が見えるクリアサップの方が間違いなくオススメです！
写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただいて、映えるポーズも指示していただけるのでありがたかったです笑。体験をした日は風が強かったので、ドローンは厳しいかなと思っていたのですが「ギリギリ飛ばせます！」と言っていただいて上空からの動画も撮影してもらうことができました！曇が多い日だったので海の色も暗く写っているのかと思いきや、綺麗なブルーの海の上でサップをする姿がバッチリ映っていて、改めて宮古島の海の色の美しさを感じました。体験終了後にはその場で撮影した写真や動画の他にBGMを入れたハイライト動画もAirDropで送信してもらえます。この動画が本当に感動モノでじ～んときてしまい、スタッフさん達と別れた後に泣きました...笑。スタッフの皆さんは本当に親切で、笑顔が素敵な方々でした。間違いなくこの宮古島旅行で1番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

The day before, they confirmed the meeting place, what to bring, and important notes over the phone. The location was Imugya Marine Garden. They provided a thorough lecture on how to paddleboard in advance, which was very detailed! The water was so clear, and since we had clear paddleboards, I was amazed to see fish swimming underneath when I looked down. They used a drone to capture videos, resulting in a high-quality production that I could never achieve on my own! I was surprised that they also created an original movie at the end; I was very satisfied! I think just the photos taken by the guide would be enough to be satisfied! However, we also had free time, and they lent us waterproof cases for our smartphones, so we could take our own pictures as well. They showed us spots where we could see fish, and we had a really enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

前日に集合場所の確認、持ち物、注意事項など電話で伝えてくれました。
場所はイムギャーマリンガーデンでした。
サップの乗り方も事前にちゃんとレクチャーしてくれて、とても丁寧でした！
海の透明度が高く、クリアサップボードだったのでボードの下を覗き込むと魚が見えて感動しました。
動画はドローンを使って撮影してくれるので、個人では到底撮れない完成度の高いものになってます！最後はオリジナルムービーも作成してくれて驚きました、大満足です！写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれたものだけでも十分満足できると思います！でも自由時間ももらえるのと、スマホ防水ケースも貸してもらえたので、自分たちで撮ることもできました。魚が見れるスポットも教えてもらって、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

Initially, I had booked a SUP tour at Kabira Bay, but due to strong winds, it was changed to a mangrove SUP at Miyara River. Although it was a last-minute change, I was able to enjoy a close-up view of the mangroves, which was a great experience. Depending on the weather, it seems that you can also see rare birds and aquatic creatures!

It was mid-November, but the temperature was around 25 degrees, making it very pleasant for SUP, and I had no issues doing it in short sleeves and shorts. It started to rain partway through, and I got completely soaked, so wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet is essential! Other than clothes that can get wet, there was nothing else you needed to prepare, making it a tour that beginners can enjoy with peace of mind.

During the tour, the guide took a lot of photos with a GoPro, so I was able to keep fun memories captured in pictures. Thank you very much!

当初、川平湾でのSUPツアーを予約しておりましたが、強風のため宮良川マングローブSUPへ変更になりました。急遽の変更でしたが、間近でマングローブを眺めることができて、いい経験ができました。天気によるようですが、珍しい鳥や水辺の生き物などを見ることができることもあるようです！
11月中旬でしたが、気温は25度くらいでとても気持ち良くSUPができ、半袖短パンでのSUPも全く問題なしでした。途中から雨降ってきてしまい、全身ずぶ濡れになったので、濡れても良い格好は必須です！濡れてもいい服装以外、特に何も用意する必要もなく、初心者でも安心して楽しめるツアーでした。
ツアー中にはガイドさんがGoProでたくさん写真を撮ってくださるので、楽しい思い出の写真を残すことができました。ありがとうございました！

November is the off-peak season on the island, and the water temperature is a bit cold, so there are fewer people swimming in the sea. However, with this tour, you can rent a wetsuit, so you can participate without hesitation. Additionally, fins, life jackets, and snorkels are provided, so you only need to bring your swimsuit.

The experience location is about a 25-minute drive from the meeting point and is a popular spot on the island known for sea turtles. During the drive, they will explain how to use the equipment, swimming techniques, and photography tips.

At the local beach, although it wasn't as busy as during peak season, I was able to swim near 1 or 2 sea turtles. Following the pre-explanation, the staff took beautiful photos of me near the turtles. Since there were fewer participants during the off-peak season, they took a lot of photos. It seems that during peak season, there can be up to 20 groups of participants, so if you want to take many photos and observe the sea turtles closely, I recommend participating around November.

11月は島の閑散期となり、水温も少し冷たいので海で泳いでいる方は少ないですが、こちらなツアーではウェットスーツを借りることができるので気兼ねなく参加することができます。そのほか、フィンやライフジャケット、シュノーケルも用意されているので水着だけ持っていけば参加できます。
体験場所は、集合場所から車で25分ほどの場所で、ウミガメで有名な島の人気スポットです。移動中の車の中で機材の使い方や泳ぎ方、撮影の注意点を説明してくれます。
現地の浜では、ピークシーズンほどではありませんが、1〜2匹のウミガメのそばを泳ぐことができました。事前の説明に従ってウミガメのそばにいるとスタッフさんが綺麗に写真を撮影してくれます。
閑散期で参加者が少ないのでたくさんの写真を撮ってくれました。ピークシーズには多い時で20組の参加者がいるそうなので、写真をたくさん撮りたい方、ウミガメをじっくりみたい方は11月ごろの参加もおすすめです。

During the 60-minute cruise, we could only see waves until about the 40-minute mark, and I was starting to feel discouraged when the staff mentioned that due to the strong winds, there was a possibility of cancellation. However, to my delight, dolphins began to swim playfully alongside and in front of the boat in groups of six to thirty, and I was overjoyed to see them!

On the boat, which was rocking quite a bit due to the waves, I held on with one hand while capturing the moment on my smartphone with the other. I can't help but smile every time I look at the footage.

I'm really glad the cruise didn't get canceled and that I got to see so many dolphins!

60分間のｸﾙｰｽﾞで40分頃迄波しか見えず、時期的に難しい、風強く欠航か思案したというスタッフの話に今日はダメかな～と諦め気味になってたら、打ち消すように次々６～30匹と大小グループで何回もイルカたちが船の脇や前に親しげに泳いで来てるのを見れて超嬉しかった。
結構波で上下する船上で、片手はしがみつき片手はスマホ動画でしっかり納めました。
後も見るたびにやけてます。
欠航にならず、イルカたちに多数会えてホント良かったです。

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we were the only participants, we started the experience one-on-one. Although we are beginners, we were able to enjoy ourselves as the instructor explained the points clearly. The staff took many photos for us, allowing us to capture moments we usually wouldn't, which added to our memories. The chatting was also enjoyable, and I felt it was the essence of an experiential activity. There were various other plans available, so I definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you!

カップルで初参加しました。
参加者が私たちだけだったので、マンツーマンで体験スタート。初心者ですが、分かりやすくポイントを教えてもらい2人とも楽しむことができました☺︎
スタッフの方が写真も沢山撮ってくれたので、普段撮れないような写真も残すことができ、思い出が増えました♡
お喋りも楽しくて、体験型の醍醐味だなと思いました。他にも色んなプランがあったので、次回も是非参加してみたいです。ありがとうございました＾＾

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was not possible, so we changed to the coast at Ohsaki. The weather was bad, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was incredibly beautiful. I've seen quite a few places, but this was among the top in terms of beauty, and I was very impressed.

However, during the mangrove tour at Miyara River, the guide kept calling out "Mom! Mom!" I was participating with colleagues from work, and I am not a mother. I had filled out my name and emergency contact information at the beginning, but if they don't check that, what's the point of filling it out? In today's world, there are many different types of couples and families, so I think it's wrong to assume relationships based solely on age differences. This is a basic principle of customer service.

If it were just the snorkeling, I would have been completely satisfied and would give it five stars. Thank you for going out of your way to drop us off at the hotel. However, because the mangrove tour was included, I lowered my rating due to the above issues.

シュノーケルは青の洞窟は出来なくて大崎という海岸に変更。天気悪くあまり期待してなかったのですが、とにかく無茶苦茶綺麗。結構色々みてきましたが、一二を争う綺麗さで大感激でした。
ただ、宮良川のマングローブツアーですが、ガイドの方が「お母さんお母さん！」って。会社の同僚と参加しており私はそもそもお母さんではなく。最初に名前書いたり緊急連絡先住所などの記入をしたのですが、確認しないなら書く必要性が、なんのための記入なんでしょうか、、、。今のご時世、歳の差カップル夫婦など色々な方がいるかとおもいますので年齢差だけで関係性を決めつけるのはダメだと思います。これは、接客の基本だと思います。
シュノーケルだけなら大満足で星は5つ。ホテルまで無理言って送っていただきましてありがとうございました。
マングローブツアーとのセットなので上記の事情により評価下げました。

I participated with my colleagues from work. Due to the cancellation of the Uehara ferry, we gathered at 10 AM, but I was relieved because we received proper advance notice. In the morning, we enjoyed a tour of the ox cart and Yufu Island, which lasted about an hour and a half. Yufu Island is small, so we had plenty of fun! The gelato was especially amazing! In the afternoon, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but all the other participants were kayaking. We had experience with SUP, so it was no problem for us, but the staff were also very attentive in teaching the kayakers, so I think it would be fine even for beginners. Paddling through the mangroves felt mystical, and it gave the illusion of being overseas. We landed in the mangrove forest to observe wildlife and took photos in front of a waterfall, although it was a bit disappointing that the waterfall was very small. The staff were quite friendly and easy to approach, and I could tell they were also attentive to safety. Overall, it was a satisfying activity! Thank you very much!

職場の同僚と参加させていただきました。
上原航路が欠航になった都合で、10時集合になりましたか、しっかり事前連絡があったので安心でした。午前中は牛車と由布島観光でしたが、合わせて１時間半ほどでした。由布島は小さな島なので十分楽しめました！特にジェラートが最高でした！午後はSUPをしましたが、他の参加者は全員カヤックでした。私達はSUP経験があったので問題なかったのですが、スタッフの方達はカヤックの人たちにも丁寧に教えてくださっていたので、未経験でも大丈夫だと思います。マングローブの中を抜けての川登は神秘的で、海外にいる様は錯覚になりました。マングローブ林に上陸して生物観察をしたり、滝の前で写真撮影をしたりしましたが、滝がとても小さかったのが残念でした。スタッフの方達はかなりフレンドリーで接しやすかったと同時に、安全面に関しても気を使ってくださっているのがよくわかりました。全体的には満足のいくアクティビティでした！ありがとうございました！
