It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the rough waves, but we went snorkeling in a different location and were thrilled to see such beautiful fish. The guide was friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The mangrove kayaking was also relaxing, with the gentle flow of the river and the scenery being very soothing.

波が荒れていて青の洞窟に行けなくて残念でしたが、違う場所でシュノーケリングをしましたが、とても綺麗な魚達が見れて感激しました。
ガイドのお姉さんも気さくな方で楽しめました。
マングローブのカヤックも穏やかな川の流れと景色に癒やされました。

I participated in a one-day course that included a pumpkin cave experience, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). During the cave experience, as soon as I swam in from the entrance, I found a spot that looked just like a pumpkin. Climbing up from there and going further in, I was greeted by a truly mystical sight. At the end, there was also a jump from the top of the pumpkin, which was exciting. In the afternoon, while snorkeling, I quickly encountered a sea turtle! After swimming together for a while, we went to see Nemo next. He was so cute. Finally, I enjoyed a relaxing time paddleboarding. The breeze felt nice, and I had a very peaceful time. I was also able to take a lot of photos, which was great. Thank you very much.

パンプキン鍾乳洞体験とシュノーケリング、supの1日コースに参加しました。鍾乳洞体験では、入り口から泳いで入るとすぐパンプキンそっくりの場所があります。そこをよじ登ってさらに奥に行くと、とても神秘的な光景が広がっていました。最後にパンプキンの上からの飛び込みもあり、ワクワクしました。午後はシュノーケルで、割とすぐにウミガメに会いました！しばらく一緒に泳いだあと、今度はニモに会いに行きました。とても可愛かったです。最後はゆったりとsupを楽しみました。風が気持ちよくて、とっても穏やかな時間を過ごせました。たくさん写真も撮っていただけて、良かったです。ありがとうございました。

My husband is 71 and I am 64, and even though we were in beautiful Miyako Island, there were age restrictions on activities like snorkeling, so we found this option and participated.

The day before, they kindly called us to explain that due to bad weather forecasts, we could change the date, and on the day itself, they were very accommodating, asking about our preferences for rescheduling or canceling.

Although it was unfortunate that it rained lightly, the clear kayak allowed us to see underwater clearly, and we could see tropical fish swimming. We only paddled in a small bay called Imugya Marine Garden, and it was quite challenging to paddle as we couldn't move as smoothly as we hoped, but they stayed with us the whole time, giving us advice, and we gradually got the hang of it.

In the end, not only did the instructor take photos, but they also filmed with a drone and provided us with the footage. It became a truly wonderful memory.

夫71歳私64歳でせっかくの宮古島でもシュノーケリングなどのアクティビティは年齢制限があったりでこちらを見つけて参加しました。
前日にきっちりと電話をいただき天気予報が悪かったので日にちの変更もできるなど親切に説明して下さり、当日もあすに変更したりキャンセルもできるとこちらの意向を聞いて下さりとても親切でした。
小雨が降るあいにくの天気でしたがクリアカヤックは底から海の中が眺められるので熱帯魚が泳いでいるのが良く見えました。イムギャーマリンガーデンという小さな入り江の中だけでしたが漕ぐのはなかなか難しくて思うように進めなかったりしましたがずっとつきっきりでアドバイスしてもらい少しずつ要領がつかめました。
最後にインストラクターが撮った写真だけでなくドローンでも撮影してくれてそのデータをいただけました。すごく素敵な思い出になりました。

The wind was strong, and there was rain in the forecast...
We ended up just snorkeling without the pumpkin.
But that's okay!
I heard there was only a 30% chance of seeing a sea turtle.
We entered the water feeling lucky if we spotted one.
The beautiful fish and various shapes of coral were already breathtaking.
We found Nemo and took a commemorative photo. So cute! I was glad I didn't cancel.
Then we encountered a sea turtle while it was eating.
We swam together for a bit, took more photos, and I got to see it come up for air, which was incredibly moving as it swam away...
Thank you. My first time in Miyako Island.
Thank you. The sea, the fish, and the little sea turtle.
Thank you. Yuya.

It became an unforgettable time.
Yuya was truly the best!
Thank you for the fun time! ^_^

風が強く、雨予報、、、
パンプキンはなしで、シュノーケルだけになりました。
でもそれはしょーがないので全然OK！
ウミガメに会えるのは30%とのこと。
会えたらラッキーな感じで海に入りました。
綺麗な魚たち、色んな形のサンゴ、それだけで感動。
ニモを見つけてくれて、記念撮影。可愛すぎ、、。キャンセルしないで良かったーと思っていたら。
『いました！』とウミガメの食事中に遭遇。
少し一緒に泳いで、記念撮影もして、海面に顔を出して呼吸する姿も見られて、去っていく後ろ姿に超感動、、、。
ありがとう。初宮古島。
ありがとう。海、魚たち、ウミガメちゃん。
ありがとう。ゆーやさん。

忘れられない時間となりました。
ゆーやさんが本当にサイコー！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました^_^

At first, we were a bit flustered, but we gradually got used to it. The weather was absolutely fantastic, with the blue sky and the ocean shining in Miyako Blue, and we even got to see sea turtles! The Pumpkin Hall tour also sparked our sense of adventure and was a lot of fun. It became a wonderful memory, thank you!

最初はおろおろだった私達も次第に慣れ、なんと言っても凄く天気が良く、空の青さに海も宮古ブルーに輝いて海ガメにも会えました❗
パンプキンホールツアーも冒険心をかきたてられ楽しかったです。
良い思い出になりました、ありがとうございました❗

Mr. Muroi was in charge. With smooth and polite guidance and enjoyable conversation, it was a challenging but very memorable experience. Thank you very much!

室井さんにご担当いただきました。
スムーズかつ丁寧なご案内と楽しいトークで、大変でしたがとても思い出に残る経験をすることができました。
本当にありがとうございました！

My 3 year old son first dolphin encounter experience. So happy and so fun!

With a touch of humor, you pulled me along and pushed my weary back, allowing me to finally see Jomon Sugi. I am filled with joy and emotion as my long-held dream has come true. In fact, since we are the same age, I felt renewed motivation to do my best as well. Thank you once again. I want to brag about this experience to my friends.

冗談を交えながら、引っ張ってくれて
挫けそうな背中を押してくれて、なんとか縄文杉を見ることが出来ました。
長年の夢が叶った喜びと感動で一杯です。
実は、小生と同じ年　私も頑張らねばと思いを新たにした次第
重ね重ねありがとうございました。
この経験を友人達に自慢したいと思っています。

I have wanted to see Jomon Sugi for several years. Given my age, I felt that now was the time to go, so despite the COVID-19 pandemic, I made the decision to make a reservation. I was prepared for the challenges, and although there were many difficulties in reaching Jomon Sugi, I was able to appreciate the importance of taking one step at a time. I am very happy that I could share this experience with my husband. We were also blessed with good weather, and I am grateful for the thoughtful care from our guide, Mr. Muramatsu, who matched our pace. Thank you very much.

数年前から縄文杉を一目見たいと思っていました。年齢的にも今しか行けないと思い、コロナ禍ではありましたが、思い切って予約をしました。覚悟はしていましたが、縄文杉に辿り着くまで数々の困難もありましたが、一歩ずつ歩き続けることの大切さを感じることができた事と、主人と同じ体験できた事をとても嬉しく思います。天候にも恵まれ、ガイドの村松さんのさり気ない心遣いや私達に合わせたペースにも感謝しております。ありがとうございました。

I was drawn to the Jungle Night Tour and signed up. Although it wasn't raining, the weather was unfortunately not great... Sadly, we couldn't see the starry sky, but I had a great time encountering the unique plants and creatures of the Yaeyama Islands.

ジャングルナイトツアーにひかれて申し込みました。雨は降っていませんでしたがあいにくのお天気…残念ながら星空は見えませんでしたが八重山諸島ならではの植物や生物に出会えて楽しい思い出が出来ました。

I participated in fishing from a kayak. The guide, Ami, was very kind and taught us about the types of trees and their history, which made the experience much more enjoyable than just riding normally. We caught about 20 fish, and after getting off the kayak, we took the fish to an izakaya she recommended, where they prepared sashimi, fried fish, and oil sautéed dishes for us. We enjoyed them deliciously with sake and were very satisfied!

カヤックからの釣りに参加しました。
カヤックでは、案内してくださった亜美さんがとても親切で^ ^木の種類や歴史などを教えてくれて、普通に乗るより数段楽しめました(^-^)
釣りも20匹ほど釣れて、降りてから紹介してくれた居酒屋に釣れた魚を持っていき　刺身や揚げ魚　オイルソテーにしてくれて・・日本酒と美味しくいただき大満足でした(^O^)

We were blessed with clear skies and were able to set sail (it seems the previous day was canceled). The captain's character added to the maritime attraction. Once we left the breakwater, the boat sped across the sea. It made sharp turns, and the hull would lift and crash down onto the surface, creating a thrilling experience.

On the way to the Blue Cave, the captain humorously guided us in a quirky Japanese, pointing out sights only visible from the sea, such as the lighthouse, the Herring Mansion, and the Sea Lion Rock. When we finally reached the Blue Cave, we were able to see the mystical scenery from the open deck.

During the ride on the open deck, we could stand up. Naturally, since we were speeding, there was the fear of being thrown into the sea, so I held onto the bar tightly with both hands. It felt like riding a small glider skimming over the water (though the sea breeze hitting my face was quite cold for this season).

I noticed some young ladies from the group that disembarked before us looking unwell, so I quickly took some motion sickness medication. Being cautious about seasickness allowed me to fully enjoy the cruising experience, making it an unforgettable memory of Otaru.

晴天に恵まれ、出航できました（前日は中止だったようです）。
船長のキャラクターも含め海上アトラクションです。
防波堤を出ると、ボートが結構なスピードで海上を突き進みます。大きく旋回したり、浮き上がった船底がバンバンと海面に落ちて上下します。
青の洞窟までは、灯台やニシン御殿、トド岩など海上からしか見られない景色を船長がギャグ満載の怪しげな日本語で案内してくれます。
いよいよ青の洞窟となれば、洞窟に広がる神秘的な光景をオープンデッキから見ることもできました。
このオープンデッキ走行中立つことも出来ます。当然疾走しているので、海に振り落とされる恐怖もあってバーを両手でしっかり握るのですが、気分は海面を疾走する小型グライダーに乗っているようでした（流石にこの季節顔に当たる海風は冷たい）。
下船した前のグループに気分の悪くなったお嬢さんたちを見かけて、すぐに酔い止めを飲んでおきました。船酔いに注意したので、クルージングも十分楽しめ小樽の忘れられない思い出になりました。

Unfortunately, on the day of our experience, there were many clouds, and we couldn't see as many stars as we had hoped. However, the few stars we did see were very beautiful! Since I wanted to see animals, I spent the remaining time searching for bears and owls. Although I didn't get to see what I was aiming for that day, the guide was very kind and I learned a lot about Shiretoko. They also told us about a spot where we could see the Steller's sea eagle, and the next day we were able to see it there. Additionally, we were able to see the stars beautifully at the points they recommended the following day. It was truly a valuable experience. The person in charge was very kind, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the opportunity to go to Shiretoko again, I would like to use their services. Thank you very much.

生憎私たちの体験した日は、雲が多く思ったよりも星を見ることができませんでした。
それでもわずかながら見ることができた星はとても綺麗でした！
私が動物を見たかったこともあり、残りの時間はクマ探しやフクロウ探しをさせていただきました。
この日目当てのものは見ることができませんでしたが、先導して下さった方がとても親切な方で知床のことをたくさん学ぶことができました。
オオワシが見ることができるスポットも教えていただき、次の日そのスポットで無事見ることができました。
また星についても翌日に教えていただいたポイントで綺麗に見ることができました。
本当に貴重な体験ができました。
担当の方がとても親切な方でとても楽しかったです。
また、知床に行く機会があれば利用させていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The guide's explanations were thorough, and I was able to enjoy the long trek without getting bored. The nature of Yakushima is, of course, amazing.

ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で長時間のトレッキングも飽きることなく終始楽しめた。
屋久島の自然はもちろん最高。

After the wedding ceremony in Miyako Island, we requested a night photo tour as a keepsake. While enjoying the truly beautiful starry sky with our own eyes, we were able to use various props for the shoot, and it was a fun experience✨

I'm really glad we decided to capture our memories in photos! Thank you very much!

宮古島挙式後、記念に
ナイトフォトツアーをお願いしました
肉眼で、本当に綺麗な星空をみながら
撮影のためのグッズも使わせて頂き、
楽しく撮影いただきました✨

思い出を写真に残すことができ
お願いして本当によかったです！
ありがとうございました

Due to strong winds, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we enjoyed snorkeling at an alternative spot! Since we took the early morning boat, there were few people in the sea, making it very comfortable. The instructor was very kind and supportive, and we had a lot of interesting stories, which made for a joyful time.

I definitely want to request this again when I come to Okinawa next time! I highly recommend it!

強風のため青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、代わりのスポットでシュノーケリングを楽しみました！早朝便のため海に人も少なく快適でした。インストラクターさんはとても優しくサポートしてくださり、おもしろいお話もたくさんで笑顔の多い時間を過ごせました。

次回沖縄に来た時も是非お願いしたいと思います！おすすめです！

We participated in our first trekking experience as a group of four women aged 55 to 64. Although we were all complete beginners, thanks to our guide, we had a great time and successfully completed the trek! Thank you so much! ♪

Additionally, the guide took all the photos and sent them to each of us via AirDrop at the end of the tour, which was great because it eliminated the risk of beginners trying to take photos with their smartphones while walking. ^_^

And as expected, the guide was also very skilled at taking photos! Thank you very much! m(_ _)m

55歳〜64歳女4人組初トレッキングで参加させていただきました。全員全くの初心者でしたがガイドさんのおかげで楽しく、無事完踏することができました！本当にありがとうございました♪
また、写真もガイドさんが全て撮ってくださりツアー終了時各自に送信（AirDrop）いただけたので、初心者がスマホ撮影しながら歩くという危険もなくとてもよかったです^_^
そしてさすがガイドさん写真もお上手でした〜
ありがとうございましたm(_ _)m

The tour consisted of three young men and three young women, along with our guide, with me being the only one who wasn't young. Almost everyone was a trekking beginner. We started off with breakfast at the starting point, watching other teams as we made our dash. The guide taught us how to ascend and descend the mountain and breathing techniques, following the example of Tanjiro. Thanks to that, we were the first to reach Wilson's stump and had plenty of time for photos! We arrived at Jomon Sugi by 10:30 and returned to the trolley path by 13:30. We took a slight detour, which we called getting lost, and descended along the river. On top of the granite rocks, we incorporated unexpected activities like foot massages and cold water icing, making it a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.

私以外は若いメンバー男3女3人＋ガイドさんのツアーでした。ほぼ全員トレッキング初心者。スタート地点で朝食を食べる他Teamsを横目にスタートダッシュ。山歩きの登り方、降り方、呼吸法を炭次郎に倣えて教えて下さりました。そのおかけで、ウィルソン株も１番乗りで写真取り放題！10:30には縄文杉到着！13:30にはトロッコ道に戻ってきました。少し遭難(寄り道)と称して、河沿いに降り、花崗岩岩の上で、足のマッサージや冷水アイシングなど、想像していなかった企画を折り込んで頂き、本当に楽しく良い思い出となりました。

I participated in a Jomon Sugi trekking tour with my family of three. Unfortunately, it was raining, but our guide, Mr. Muramatsu, shared enjoyable stories (he answered all my "why?" questions!) and I learned a lot about Yakushima's unique climate, history, and plants. During lunch, the miso soup that was served quickly was incredibly delicious and perfect for my chilled body. I was a bit late, but thank you for entertaining my son for a while. We even got excited talking about YouTubers, haha. I'm enjoying looking at the photos again after returning home. I want to visit Yakushima again! Please guide us again next time, Mr. Muramatsu!

縄文杉トレッキングツアーに家族３名で参加しました。あいにくの雨でしたが、ガイドの村松さんの楽しいお話(私の何で?に全部応えてくれました！)で屋久島の独特な気候や歴史や植物等たくさん知ることができました。昼食の際、手際よく出てきたお味噌汁、冷えた体に最高においしかったです。途中遅れた私(母)でしたが、しばらく息子の相手をして下さりありがとうございました。YouTuberの話で盛り上がったとか笑。帰宅して写真を見てまた楽しんでいます。また屋久島行きたいです！またその際には村松さんガイドしてくださいね！

We experienced kayaking for the first time as a couple! The guide was very kind and taught us a lot, and she also took many photos for us! The mangroves were incredibly mysterious, and I was thrilled to learn about the ecology and names of the plants. The Blue Cave was canceled due to weather conditions, but we still had so much fun kayaking! Additionally, she recommended a great yakiniku restaurant in Ishigaki, so we had yakiniku for dinner! We spent the whole day feeling happy. I definitely want to join this tour again when I come back to Ishigaki!

初めてのカヤックを夫婦で体験しました！
ガイドのお姉さんが優しく教えてくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくださりました！
マングローブはとても神秘的で、植物の生態や名前などいろいろ教えていただき感激しました。
青の洞窟は天候の関係でキャンセルになりましたがカヤックだけでもとっても楽しかったです！
また、石垣島のお勧め焼肉屋さんも教えてくださり晩御飯は焼肉！一日中幸せな気分で過ごせました☆
また石垣島に来る際はもう一度このツアーに絶対参加したいです！！

We participated as a couple in our 40s. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, so we started wearing rain gear! The morning trek on the trolley path was pitch dark, and we continued walking with our headlamps on, feeling anxious. We needed to descend before sunset, so we had to keep a fast pace, and there were some inclines, making it tough to keep up with the guide. Once we finished the trolley path, we entered the real mountain trail. The guide was very kind, encouraging me, the least fit among the six members, and helped me along the way by giving me supplements and massaging me when I felt like giving up. Thanks to that, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. Jomon Sugi was very mystical and impressive, and I was moved. I was happy to achieve my goal of seeing Jomon Sugi at least once in my lifetime! For those who want to see Jomon Sugi in the future, I recommend exercising regularly and doing beginner to intermediate level hikes beforehand, as well as wearing good waterproof clothing. Also, having a folding umbrella allows you to eat without getting wet. I couldn't eat much of my lunch when I was at my peak fatigue, so I recommend bringing items that can replenish sugar, like energy gels or candies! Thank you so much, guide Sasaki!

40代夫婦で参加しました。天候はあいにくの雨で、上下レインウェアを着てスタート！朝のトロッコ道は真っ暗でヘッドライトを付け、不安の中歩き続けました。日が落ちる前に下山する必要がある為、行きのペースは早めで少々勾配もあった為、ガイドさんについて行くのに必死でした。トロッコ道が終わると本格的な登山道に。ガイドさんはメンバー6人の中で1番体力のない私に、声かけしながら引っ張っていって下さり、途中くじけそうになった私にサプリをくれたりマッサージをしてくれたり、とても優しいガイドさんでした。そのおかげで無事に縄文杉に着くことが出来ました。縄文杉はとても神秘的で迫力もあり感動しました。一生に一度は縄文杉を見たい！と言う目標を達成出来て嬉しかったです！これから縄文杉を見に行きたいと言う方へのアドバイスとしては、日頃から歩いたり運動をして、初級〜中級者向けの登山をしてから臨むことと、上下防水性能の良い服装をお勧めします、また折り畳み傘があると濡れずに食事がとれます。
お弁当は疲れがピークになるとあまり食べれなかったので、ウィダインゼリーや飴など糖分が補給出来る物を持参していくのをお勧めします！ガイドの佐々木さん！本当にありがとうございました！

I was able to meet a sea turtle that I thought I wouldn't be able to see, and I was able to take a lot of photos! I swam from the beach, but since it was low tide that day and the water was shallow, I encountered the sea turtle in water that was shallow enough to stand in. My beginner friend seemed to enjoy it comfortably as well.

なかなか会えないと思っていたウミガメに会うことができ、撮影もたくさんできました！
ビーチから泳いで行ったのですが、当日は干潮で遠浅だったためウミガメと遭遇したのも足がつく深さ。初心者の友人も安心して楽しめたようです。

I was able to enjoy riding a canoe with my friends and take lots of photos. The water buffalo cart to Yufujima moved at a leisurely pace, which was very pleasant. I made wonderful memories with a lovely family while canoeing.

友達とカヌーに乗って写真もたくさん撮って楽しむ事が出来ました。由布島へ渡る水牛車はのんびりと進んでいく時間がとても心地よかったですね。カヌーでは可愛い親子連れと仲良くなり、素敵な思い出が作れました。

I came to Miyako Island on a solo trip and signed up to see the sunset. It just happened to be a day when I was the only one, and the guide kindly and carefully taught me how to paddle, which made it enjoyable. They also took photos, creating the best memories! Even with poor wave conditions, they provided excellent support by searching for and suggesting the best spots. I think it's great that you can sign up and enjoy it even alone, and of course, it's also a good idea to sign up with multiple people and have fun together!

ひとり旅で宮古島に来て、夕日を見たく申し込みしてみました。たまたま自分一人だけの日でガイドさんが優しく丁寧にこぎかたを教えてくださり、楽しめることができました。写真も撮ってくれて最高の思い出になりました!!波のコンディションが悪くても、最善の場所を探して提案してくださる手厚いサポートです。一人でも安心して申し込めて楽しめるのがとてもいいと思います。勿論複数人でも申し込みして皆でわいわいするのもアリだと思います!!

It was my first time participating, and I was very satisfied! The exploration of Pumpkin Head and snorkeling with the sea turtles were even more fun than I imagined.

The guide was flexible and really made the experience enjoyable, and they took a lot of great photos, so I have wonderful memories! I am truly grateful.

初めての参加でしたが、大満足でした！
パンプキンヘッドの探検も、海亀とのシュノーケリングも想像以上で楽しかったです。

ガイドの方も臨機応変に盛り上げて下さり、
また写真を沢山撮ってくれるので、
良い思い出が出来ました！
本当に感謝しています。

I arrived in Otaru early in the morning and had some time, so I made a reservation. The captain's stories were very interesting! Depending on the weather, the return trip had some high waves, which made it feel like an attraction, and I really enjoyed it! I definitely want to recommend this to anyone visiting Otaru!

小樽に早朝について時間があったのでよやくしてみました。
船長の話がとても面白かったです！天気にもよりますが、帰りが少し波が高くてアトラクション感満載ですごく楽しめました！
ぜひ小樽に来た方におすすめしたいです！

I participated in a tour where we went snorkeling in the morning and mangrove canoeing in the afternoon. During the tour, the guide kept the atmosphere lively and took many photos for us.

午前はシュノーケル、午後はマングローブカヌーをするツアーに参加しました。ツアー参加中にガイドの方が盛り上げてくれたり、たくさん写真を撮ってくれました。

I participated in early November. It was a day filled with enjoyment of the Pumpkin Cave, snorkeling, and the great nature of Miyako Island. The stories inside the cave were fun, and during snorkeling, I was able to dive and take photos thanks to our guide, Yuma-kun, who was very helpful. I was truly moved to encounter sea turtles, which were said to have a 50% chance of meeting, and I was able to see two of them! I received many photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

11月初旬に参加
パンプキン鍾乳洞、シュノーケリングと宮古島の大自然を満喫できた1日でした
鍾乳洞の中でのお話も楽しかったし、シュノーケリングでは潜って写真を撮ってくださったり、ガイドのゆうまくんにはとてもお世話になりました
出会う確率が50%と言われてたウミガメにも出会えて、しかも2匹も出会う事ができて本当に感動でした
たくさんの写真を送信してくださりとでもいい思い出になりました
ありがとうございました

I have no words for the response that predicted the wind, waves, and temperature for the next three hours. I was able to enjoy my first activity with fun and peace of mind.

風、波、気温を総合して３時間後まで予測した対応に、言葉がありません。楽しく安心して初めてのアクティビティを堪能できました。

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but I was able to enjoy myself without any reservations. I would definitely like to join again if there's another opportunity!

１人参加は少し不安もありましたが、気兼ねなく楽しむことができました。
また機会があればぜひ参加したいです！
