Due to the wind conditions, we changed from the Blue Cave to snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding in Ohsaki Bay, but it was the best experience! During snorkeling, I saw many fish and corals, which was a precious experience! The stand-up paddleboarding in Kabira Bay in the afternoon had perfect weather and the best scenery! I would love to do this tour again when I come back to Ishigaki Island! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and they also recommended great places in the city, which made the tour even more enjoyable! Thank you very much!

風の都合で青の洞窟とsupから大崎湾シュノーケリングとsupに変更になりましたが、最高の体験でした！シュノーケリングでは沢山の魚とサンゴが見れて貴重な体験でした！午後からの川平湾でのsupは天気が快晴で最高の景色でした！
また石垣島に来た際もこのツアーでsupをやりたいと思いました！
ガイドの方の説明もわかりやすくて、街のおすすめの店も教えて貰い、ツアー後も楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

I had no mountain climbing experience and was anxious about participating alone, but the guide managed the pace and breaks appropriately, sharing stories about the plants and history along the way, which made the trekking enjoyable! Even as a solo participant, I bonded with others in the group while walking and chatting, and by the end, we became close enough to take a commemorative photo together! When I finally faced Jomon Sugi after walking for nearly five hours, I was moved as I reflected on its long history! The scenery along the way was beautiful, with the clear flow of the river, moss-covered trees, dripping droplets, and the miraculous sight of Yakushima deer; everything was captivating and energized me despite my fatigue. There were parts of the suspension bridge without handrails, which made me a bit anxious as someone with a fear of heights, but overcoming that made me feel a little stronger! At first, I thought the walking pace might be a bit fast, but thanks to that, I was able to take my time for photos with Jomon Sugi, and we had proper breaks, making for a well-paced itinerary! I participated in late August, and the trees were lush, providing plenty of shade, so I didn't have to worry much about sunburn. We could refill our water bottles with natural water from Yakushima several times along the way, which was helpful for wetting towels and staying hydrated. However, since some participants did retire along the way, I think it's best to join in good physical condition. I would like to challenge myself again!

登山経験が無く、1人参加だったため辿り着けるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが適切にペース配分や休憩をとってくれて、道中で草木や歴史の話もしてもらいつつ、楽しんでトレッキングに参加できました！
1人参加でも同じグループの皆さんと歩きながら話しつつ絆が生まれ、最後には一緒に記念撮影する位仲良くなりました！5時間近く歩いて縄文杉と対面できた時は、長い歴史に思いを馳せて感動しました！！途中に見える景色はどれも美しく、清らかな川の流れ、苔むす木々や滴る雫、奇跡的に会えたヤクシカ、木陰から差す光まで、どれも魅力的で歩き疲れた私を元気づけてくれました。途中の吊り橋は手すりが無い場所もあって、高所恐怖症の私は少しうろたえましたが、それも乗り越えて少し強くなれた気がします！
最初は少し歩くペースが早いかも…と思いましたがおかげで縄文杉とゆっくり写真が撮れましたし、休憩もしっかりとって、メリハリある工程でした！8月下旬の参加でしたが、木々が生い茂り日陰が多く日焼けの心配もあまり無く、途中屋久島の天然水を何度か汲めるので、タオルを濡らしたり水補給が出来た事も助かりました。ただ途中リタイアされた方もいた為、やはり健脚で健康な状態での参加が望ましいかと思います。私ももう一回位チャレンジしたいです！

The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see turtles up close; it was truly amazing! It was my first time snorkeling, and I didn't know anything, but the explanations were very thorough, so I had a great time! They took many beautiful photos, which became wonderful memories. I also appreciated learning about the sea turtles and coral. Thank you! I would like to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island.

海も綺麗でカメも身近で見れて本当に最高でした！
初めてのシュノーケリングで何も分かりませんでしたが、丁寧に説明して頂けたので凄く楽しめました！写真も綺麗にたくさん撮って頂き良い思い出となりました。
また海でウミガメや珊瑚の事まで教えて頂き良かったです。ありがとうございます！
また宮古島に来た際はお願いしたいです。

It was in the afternoon on the day of the walk, but I was worried about puddles since it had rained in the morning. However, I received a message from our guide, Ayano, via VELTRA about the rental of rubber boots, which made me feel relieved to participate. It seems that during the morning course, there was a bear sighting right after the start, so they couldn't go on the walk. In the afternoon, we were on a course that lasted just under three hours, and when we reached the area near Lake 4 (about an hour in), we received a report of a bear sighting and had to turn back. We were able to stroll along the deck walkway and see Lake 1, but I really wanted to complete all five lakes. Despite it being September, there have been bear sightings almost every day, and it seems there are too many this year. Weather and bear sightings are a matter of luck, so I would like to challenge this again someday. Our veteran guide, Ayano, was very friendly and made it a fun experience.

散策当日は午後でしたが、午前中に雨が降り水たまりなど心配でしたが、
事前にガイドの綾野さんからVELTRA経由で長靴の貸出の連絡が入り安心して参加できました。
午前中コースではスタート直後にクマ出没で散策できなかったようで、午後は3時間弱のコースで5湖4湖まできたところ（1時間ほどのところ）でクマ出没の連絡が入り引き返すことになりました。デッキの遊歩道を散策し1湖を見ることができましたが、5湖全部コンプリートしたかったです。9月にも関わらず、クマ出没がほぼ毎日で今年は多すぎるとのこと。
天気と熊の出没は運なので、またいつかチャレンジしたいです。
ベテランガイドの綾野さんはとてもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

Due to the typhoon swells, unfortunately, I couldn't meet any sea turtles this time, but the snorkeling experience was filled with colorful fish and large schools of sardines, which was truly impressive.

As a beginner who is not very good at swimming, I was quite anxious, but the pre-lecture was very thorough. They paid close attention to each person's breathing and resting posture at the water's edge, ensuring safety, which allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

台風うねりのため、残念ながら今回はウミガメに会うことができませんでしたが、色とりどりの魚やキビナゴの大群に感動いっぱいのシュノーケリングでした。
初心者で泳ぎも不得意で、とても不安でしたが、事前のレクチャーがとても丁寧で、波打ち際での一人一人の呼吸や休憩姿勢の確認など、安全に配慮してくださり、安心して参加できました。
たくさんの写真もありがとうございました！

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean and the first sea turtle I saw! A cool guy kindly taught me snorkeling from scratch, making it enjoyable even for beginners. He gave me poses for photos and recommended spots after the experience. He was very kind, and I definitely want to ask for his help again when I come back to Miyako Island!

海の綺麗さと、初めてのウミガメに感動しました！
かっこいいお兄さんが、一からシュノーケリングを優しく教えてくださり初心者でも楽しめました。
撮影のポーズを指示してくださったり、体験後におすすめのスポットを教えてくださったりと、とても親切な方で、また宮古島に来た時は是非お願いしたいなと思います♪

The weather was perfect after the typhoon. Thank you for accommodating the sudden cancellations and changes to our plans, as we initially had a reservation on the day of the typhoon.

台風一過で最高の天気でした。はじめは台風の日に予約していたので、急なキャンセルや予定変更に対応していただきありがとうございました。

I had the opportunity to experience snorkeling. The staff provided thorough explanations, and they disinfected the masks properly, so I felt safe doing it. I would like to request this again if I have the chance.

シュノーケリングを体験させていただきました。スタッフの肩も丁寧に説明していただきマスクもしっかり消毒してたので安心してできました。また機会があればお願いしたいです。

This was the last leg of our whirlwind family trip to Sapporo. I was very satisfied that we could experience canoeing close to the airport within the time we had before our flight. Although there was some wind that day, our guide provided support, which made us feel at ease. In the full-course jungle area, we were able to see kingfishers flying close to the water's surface. It became a wonderful memory.

弾丸札幌家族旅行の最後の行程でした。
飛行機のフライトまでの時間で、空港から近いところでカヌー体験が出来てとても満足です。
当日は風があったけどガイドさんがフォローしてくれて安心でした。フルコースのジャングルエリアはカワセミが水面近くを飛んだりしているのを見れました。
とても良い思い出になりました。

The lunch curry is all-you-can-eat and delicious. You can also use the showers for free as much as you want. There are quite a few showers, so the waiting time is minimal. A local grandmother from Kuniyoshi drives the bus from the port to the accommodation, and it was great that she provided guidance along the way. However, there was a mix-up with the tour start time, which could have been a problem, but a young staff member quickly noticed the mistake and resolved it. Despite being in a very busy period, they treated us with care.

We went snorkeling, had a meal, and then spent about an hour playing on the beach, which was perfect for the kids.

昼のカレーは食べ放題で、美味しい。シャワー等も使いたい放題で無料。結構台数があるので、あまりシャワーの待ち時間は少ない。現地の国吉のおばあちゃんが、港から宿舎までバスの運転手をしてくれますが、ガイドしながらしてくれて良かったです。ただ、ツアーの開始時間を間違って伝えられて、やばいことになりそうでしたが、すぐにそのミスにスタッフの若い方が気付き事なきを得ました。かなりの多忙な期にも関わらず、丁寧に接して頂けました。
シュノーケリングをして、ご飯を食べて、その後１時間位、浜辺で遊べるので、子供にはサイコーでした。

This trip was planned around my child's wish to see a coconut crab, so we were thrilled to see the coveted coconut crab in person! The kids were super excited! We were lucky to encounter a large coconut crab as well, which made us very happy!

Walking through the dark forest felt like an adventure, and it was fun. Although some parts of the path were slippery and there were protruding rocks, the guides provided encouragement and matched our pace, allowing us to enjoy without any anxiety or fear.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and soothing. The explanations about the constellations were very educational. On the way back, we enjoyed quizzes about Ishigaki Island and even some spooky stories, making the tour fun from start to finish.

The guide's personality and storytelling were fantastic! This was the most enjoyable tour I've ever participated in. I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you!

今回の旅行は、子どもの「ヤシガニが見たい！」で企画した石垣島旅行でしたので、動画の中で見た憧れのヤシガニを生で見ることができ、子どもたちは大興奮でした！運良く、大きなサイズのヤシガニにも出会えて嬉しかったです！
真っ暗な森を歩いて行くのも、探検をしているようで楽しかったです。途中足場が滑りやすかったり、岩がせり出ている道もありましたが、細かな声掛けやゆっくりとペースを合わせていただき、不安や恐怖心もなく楽しむ事ができました(^^)
星空も最高にキレイで癒されました。星座の説明もしていただき大変勉強になりました☆
帰り路の車内でも、石垣島クイズやちょっと怖いホラー話も聞かせていただき、最初から最後までずっと楽しいツアーでした。
ガイドさんの人柄やトークも最高でした♪今まで参加したツアーの中で1番楽しかったです。
また石垣島に来た際は参加必須です( ◠‿◠ )
ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family. My wife and children were very satisfied, saying they had never seen so many stars before. Next time, I definitely want to join in a different season!

家族で参加しました。妻、子供ともどもこんなに沢山の星を見たことがないと大変満足しました。今度は是非季節を変え参加したいと思います!

I persuaded my daughter to participate. I wasn't confident in my physical strength, so I was considering retiring if necessary, but I still really wanted to see Jomon Sugi. The guide told us that once we reached the end of the trolley path and started climbing, if we couldn't go together, we should retire and head back. I was informed that there wouldn't be a bus after 5 PM. I couldn't keep up with everyone and dropped out at Wilson Stump, but my daughter suggested that since we were already there, we should go to Jomon Sugi together. We took photos at Jomon Sugi and then returned to the entrance of the trolley path where the guide was, and we walked back to the trailhead together, but it wasn't even 4:30 yet. I felt rushed and had a very unpleasant experience.

娘を説得して参加しました。
体力に自信がないのでリタイヤもありで
それでもやっぱり縄文杉を見てみたいと言う思いでした。
ガイドの方からちゃんトロッコ道が、終わり登りになると
一緒に行けないならリタイヤして帰るよう言われました。
帰りのバスが、５時過ぎるとないとの事、
皆さんの足についていけずウィルソン株で外れましたが、娘が、せっかくだから縄文杉に行こうと二人であとから行き
縄文杉で写真を撮ってまたトロッコ道の入り口にガイドさんがいて一緒に登山口まで帰りましたが、まだ４時３０分にもなっていませんでした。
急かされて、大変不快な思いになりました。

I found a tour that goes to Shiratani Unsuikyo for just half a day, starting in the afternoon, since my flight arrived in Yakushima before noon! Most tours start early in the morning, but this one began at noon and the trekking itself took just a little over three hours. I was able to return in the evening. I had a Jomon Sugi tour scheduled for the next day, so it was a great way to warm up my legs.

昼前に屋久島に着く飛行機だったので、午後開始で半日だけで白谷雲水峡に行けるツアーを探していて見つけました！
朝早いツアーが多いですが、昼スタートでトレッキング自体は3時間ちょっと。夕方には帰ってこれました。
翌日に縄文杉ツアーを入れていたので、いい足慣らしができました。

I was able to see 7 sea turtles!
Since there were fewer participants on a weekday, I felt like I got a good deal!
I was also good at taking photos!
Thank you for the many great pictures!

They also taught us about marine life besides the sea turtles.

Valuables can be kept in the guide's car.
Shinjō Beach has changing rooms with showers.
I recommend going by car!

ウミガメ7匹見れました！
平日の参加で参加者が少なかったので得した気分でした！
写真も撮るのうまかったです！
いい写真たくさんありがとうございます！

ウミガメ以外にも海の生物について教えてくれました。

貴重品などはガイドさんの車で預かってもらう形です。
新城海岸はシャワー付きの更衣室あります。
車で行くのがおすすめです！

The tour guide was knowledgeable about the island's unique wildlife, and we were able to see frogs, the largest spider in Japan, a natural monument shell, a bagworm, and the coconut crab we were hoping to see. It was a very enjoyable night tour for animal lovers! Thank you for the valuable experience.

ツアーのガイドさんが、島固有の生物に詳しく、カエルや日本最大の蜘蛛、天然記念物の巻貝、ミノムシ、目的だったヤシガニにも会えて、生き物好きには、とても楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
貴重な体験ありがとうございます

It was a long 10-hour journey, and I had to be mindful of things like early morning starts and restroom breaks along the way. However, for those who regularly hike or trek, the path was mostly gentle with wooden planks laid out, and the pace of the trek itself was slow. As a result, there was almost no damage during or after the hike, making it an enjoyable trekking experience. Thank you very much.

10時間という長丁場で、早朝からの始動と道中のトイレなどは気をつかいますが、それ以外は日頃、登山やトレッキングをしている人であれば木を敷き詰めた優しい道中がほとんどであり、またトレッキング自体のペースもゆっくりなので、登山中や登山後もダメージがほぼない楽しいトレッキングでした。
ありがとうございました。

In the morning, we paddled through the magnificent mangrove nature on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and in the afternoon, we leisurely crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo cart to see subtropical plants. It was a very fulfilling tour that allowed us to enjoy various aspects of Iriomote Island.

The guide was very kind and provided detailed explanations, which helped us learn a lot about the island. We had a great time. Additionally, it was wonderful to have photos taken that I wouldn't have been able to capture myself.

If I have the opportunity to come to Iriomote Island again, I would like to stay overnight and participate in a night tour as well.

This trip to Ishigaki Island became the best memory. Thank you very much for providing such a fulfilling experience.

午前中はSUPでマングローブの大自然の中を進み、午後はゆったりと水牛車で由布島に渡って亜熱帯植物を見学し、色々な面の西表島を満喫できるとても充実したツアーでした。

ガイドの方にとても親切に説明をしていただけたため、島の詳細な情報等を知ることができ、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、自分では撮ることがでないような写真を撮ってもらえたことも良かったです。

次に西表島に来る機会があれば、一泊して、夜のツアーにも参加できればと思います。

石垣島旅行の最高の思い出になりました。
本当に充実した体験をさせていただきありがとうございました。

You don't need to bring anything in particular; you can participate wearing a swimsuit or a swimsuit with a T-shirt on top. The staff will kindly teach you how to use the fins and snorkel, so even beginners can join the sea turtle tour with peace of mind. On the day of the tour, we were able to see three sea turtles! They also provide a lot of data, so I highly recommend it!!!

特に持ち物は必要なく水着や水着の上にTシャツを着て参加できます
フィンやシュノーケルの使い方は丁寧にお兄さんが教えて下さるので、初心者の方でも安心してウミガメツアーに参加できます☺︎
当日は3匹のウミガメに会うことができました♡データもたくさんくれるのですごくオススメです！！！

The staff were very polite, and I was able to participate with peace of mind. I enjoyed listening to various stories about Iriomote Island, and it was a lot of fun! I also got to meet a sea turtle, creating the best memories! I would like to use this service again.

スタッフさんがとても丁寧で、安心して参加することができました。
西表島の色々なお話をお聴きでき、とっても楽しかったです！
ウミガメにも出会えて、最高の思い出ができました！
また利用させていただきたいと思います。

It was amazing!! The sea was beautiful, and the mangroves were very mysterious and exciting!! The guide was very kind, and I was able to master it in a short time. I want to book here again!

最高でした！！海は綺麗で、マングローブはとても神秘的で興奮しました！！ガイドの方はとても優しくて短時間でマスターできました。またここで予約したいです！

The guide was kind and attentive, and I was able to spend a truly meaningful time as they shared various stories. The tour was also mystical, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんも親切丁寧で
色んな話をして下さり本当に有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。ツアーも神秘的で大満足です。
ありがとうございました。

The Hakone Visitor Center is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment, and this time the guide was affiliated with a foundation. I believe it wasn't just for that reason, but they decided on the course considering our physical condition and the weather. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a pleasant walk while listening to enjoyable explanations about Hakone's nature.

箱根ビジターセンターが環境省の管轄で今回案内人は財団法人所属でした。そのためだけではないと思いますが、こちらの体力や天候などを考えてコースを決めてくれました。お陰で楽しく箱根の自然の中で楽しい解説を聞きながら散歩できました。

I participated with a friend. I wasn't very familiar with snorkeling, but the guide explained everything clearly and kindly, which made me feel at ease during the experience. We were lucky enough to encounter two sea turtles, and they came up close to the surface several times for air, allowing us to observe them up close! Surrounded by various fish, squid, and many other creatures, I had a great time listening to the guide's detailed explanations. Since it was a small group, I was able to ask many questions during the snorkeling. The guide also took a lot of photos during the experience, making it a wonderful memory on the last day in Yakushima! Thank you very much!

友人と2人で参加しました。シュノーケルにはあまり慣れていませんでしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧にわかりやすく説明して下さったので安心して体験できました。
ウミガメにも2匹出会うことができ、また幸運にも何度も息継ぎのために海面近くに来てくれたおかげで、とても間近でウミガメを観察することができました！
色んな魚やイカ、貝などたくさんの生き物たちに囲まれて、ガイドさんの詳しい解説を聞きながら体験ができて、とても楽しかったです！少人数での体験だったので、シュノーケル中もたくさん質問に答えて頂くことができました。
体験中の写真も本当にたくさん撮って頂けて、屋久島最終日に最高の思い出になりました！！本当にありがとうございました。

We went by boat close to the Blue Cave and had a snorkeling and feeding experience. We made an early reservation because we heard that it looks better in the morning. It was the first time for our whole family to snorkel, but the guide was very kind and taught us well, so we were able to get in the water. On the day of our visit, the weather was great, and since it wasn't crowded, we could see everything very clearly. It was a truly valuable experience.

ボートで青の洞窟近くまで行き シュノーケルと餌付け体験しました。朝早い方が綺麗に見えると言う事で早い時間で予約しました。
家族全員シュノーケル初めてでしたが、ガイドさんも丁寧に教えてくださり、水に入れました。
当日 天候にも恵まれ、混雑していなかったのでとても綺麗に見えました。
貴重な体験本当によかったです。

It was amazing to see the sea turtles up close for a long time! The staff was kind, and it was fun to see the corals and fish as well. Thank you!

ウミガメを間近で長時間見れて最高でした！
お兄さんも優しくて、サンゴとお魚さんまで見れて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

My 5-year-old daughter had a great time with the Anpanman float, and my timid 4th grader forgot her fears and enjoyed herself thanks to the cheerful and fun attitude of the instructor! The beautiful sea, the fish, and the blue caves were amazing. It was great that it was very quiet at 7 AM. They took a lot of photos, leaving us with plenty of memories to cherish. The kids were smitten with the handsome instructor. Thank you very much!

5歳の娘もアンパンマン号の浮き輪で楽しめ、怖がりの小4娘も、インストラクターさんの明るく楽しいノリに怖さを忘れて楽しんでいました！キレイな海や魚、洞窟の青さ、最高です。朝7時はとても空いていて良かったです。写真も沢山撮ってくれて、思い出の記憶と共に記録も沢山残りました。子供達はイケメンインストラクターさんにメロメロでした。ありがとうございました。

Mr. Harasaki's guidance was excellent, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling for the first time with peace of mind.

He shared a lot about Yakushima, which made for a great trip. Thank you!

原崎さんのガイドがとても上手だったので、はじめてのシュノーケルも安心して楽しめました。

屋久島のことをたくさんお話ししてくださったのでいい旅になりました、ありがとうございます。

The snorkeling experience guided by the tour guide provided a sense of security for families (one mother with two children). The curry for lunch at Reef Inn Kuniyoshi was just right for adults, but it was a bit spicy for children, so those with small kids might consider nearby dining options. The waiting and travel times were quite long, so the actual activity time felt very brief. The sea at Tokashiki was truly amazing.

ガイドさんがつくシュノーケル体験なので、子連れ（母1人子2人）のツアーは、安心感がありました。リーフイン国吉さんの昼ごはんのカレーは、大人にはちょうどいいのですが、子どもには辛めでしたので、小さいお子さまがいる方は、近くの飲食店という選択肢もあります。
待ち時間や移動時間が結構長いので、実質のアクティビティの時間があっという間でした。
渡嘉敷の海は、やっぱり最高でした。

Among the many tours that cover all five lakes of Shiretoko, I found and participated in a compact tour that visits two lakes. On the day of the tour, there were two groups with four participants. We were taught how to use binoculars and listened to a lecture at the field house before setting off. The pace of the tour was slow, and we occasionally stopped to learn about bear claw marks on trees, footprints, and droppings. These are things you would likely miss without the guide's explanations. Additionally, it's reassuring to have a guide when it comes to dealing with bear encounters. Fortunately, we did not encounter any bears, but we were able to see deer from the elevated walking path.

知床五湖すべてを回るツアーが多い中、二湖をコンパクトに回るツアーを見つけて参加しました。当日は２組４名でした。双眼鏡の使い方を教えてもらい、フィールドハウスでレクチャーを聞いた後、出発です。ツアーはゆっくりしたスピードです。時々止まり、クマが木につけた爪痕や、足跡、糞などを説明してくれます。これらはガイドに説明してもらわなければ見つけることはできないでしょう。また、クマに遭遇した時の対処についてもガイドがいると安心です。幸いにもクマには遭遇しませんでしたが、地上遊歩道の上からシカを見ることができました。
