All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I was filled with anxiety as a near-beginner in mountain climbing, considering the early morning departure, the long hours of hiking, and the restroom situation. However, thanks to the guide's accurate advice and support, I was able to meet the impressive Jomon Sugi and return safely. The pre-tour communications were as instructed, which provided a great sense of reassurance. I was healed and overwhelmed by the nature of Yakushima. I had prepared myself for the fact that it is a rainy island, but we were blessed with beautiful weather!

早朝発、長い時間の山登り、トイレ事情に加え、山登りほぼ初心者の私で、不安満載でしたが、ガイドさんの的確なアドバイスとフォローで、感動の縄文杉に会って、きちんと帰ってきました。
事前の諸連絡も案内を受けた通りで、とても安心感のあるツアー。
屋久島の自然に癒され、圧倒されました。
雨が多い島とのことで覚悟して行きましたが、
晴天に恵まれて最高！

I arrived with excitement after having a fun conversation with the guide before getting there! I participated with my two children, who are in the second and fourth grades, and each of them had a flashlight for the tour. In the jungle, we discovered geckos, spiders, hermit crabs, frogs, giant millipedes, crabs, and even four coconut crabs! To top it off, we even spotted a scorpion at the end!

During the stargazing by the seaside, the guide explained the constellations in detail, and I enjoyed looking at the night sky after a long time. It’s even more reassuring to bring gloves or work gloves for this tour. The guides at the front and back, holding flashlights, constantly monitored the situation, which made me feel very safe. If you want to experience the great nature of Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend this tour. It became a wonderful memory.

現地に行くまでにガイドさんに楽しく話してもらいワクワクで到着しました！
小学生２年・４年生の二人を連れての参加ですが、それぞれライトを持ってのツアーです。
ジャングルの中では、ヤモリ、クモ、ヤドカリ、カエル、オオゲジゲジ、カニ、そしてヤシガニも４匹発見！最後はなんとサソリモドキも！
海辺に出ての星空鑑賞では詳しく星座を説明してもらい久しぶりに夜空を眺めました。
このツアーでは手にグローブか軍手を持参すれば更に安心ですね。
先頭と最後尾にライトを持ったガイドさんが常に状況を見てくれていて、とても安心しました。石垣島の大自然を体験するのならこのツアーはおすすめです。とても良い思い出になりました。

I was happy to have a thorough explanation and to see the sea turtles. The showers and rest area were well organized after the activity, and I appreciated being able to relax with a drink! Thank you very much.

丁寧に説明してもらえて、ウミガメも見れて嬉しかったです。
終わった後のシャワーや休憩所も整っていて、飲み物を飲みながら休めたのもありがたかったです!
ありがとうございました。

I participated with a friend. Our flight back was at 12:50, so we managed to find a snorkeling tour that started at 8:00. When we arrived, there was another participant, so there were three of us with one guide. In mid-May, the seawater wasn't cold, and we had a great time.

Soon after entering the water, we encountered a sea turtle, which came close to us, and it was really fun. While floating, I felt a bit seasick, but the guide advised me that it was better to look underwater, and I felt better right away.

It was great that we could walk into the sea from the sandy beach and take a shower afterward. I would love to participate again.

友だちと2人で参加しました。帰りの飛行機が、12時50分だったので、その前に、なんとか8時から参加できるシュノーケリングを見つけて、、、現地に行くと、他にもう1人参加者いて、3人にガイドさん1人でしました。
5月中旬で、海水の冷たさ感じず、楽しめました。
海に入って早々に、ウミガメに会えて、また、近づいてきてくれて、ほんと楽しかったです。
ぷかぷか浮かんでると、ちょっと酔って気分悪くなりましたが、海の中見た方が良い！ってガイドさんにアドバイスもらって、すぐに良くなりました。
砂浜から歩いて海に入れると、終わった後にシャワーもできて、ほんと良かったです。
また、参加したいです。

On my second visit to Iriomote Island, I was finally able to land on Barasu Island, which I had longed to visit. However, I received a notice the day before that the cave experience was canceled due to not enough participants, and it was replaced with snorkeling, which my partner was disappointed about (but I was lucky because I actually wanted to go snorkeling, haha). We were able to see three sea turtles, and thanks to our guide Matsuko-san's attentive guidance, we had a fun day. I would give it five stars, but since it was different from my initial booking, I will give it four stars. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.

西表島２回目にして、念願のバラス島に上陸することが出来ました。ただ前日に鍾乳洞体験が人数が集まらない為、中止との連絡が来て、シュノーケリングに代替になり、相方が残念がっていました(実は自分はシュノーケリングしたかったのでラッキー笑)しかしウミガメも３頭も見れたし、ガイドのまつ子さんの丁寧な案内で楽しく一日過ごすことができました。私としては星５つですが、やはり最初の申し込みとは変更になってしまったので星４つとさせていただきます。ツアーとしては大満足でした。

The explanations about the history of Yakushima and the formation of its forests were clear and posed no problems. However, during the free talk, I was a bit disappointed by the guide's harsh tone and lack of refinement that came through at times. At one point during a break, the guide said, "This group isn't lively, so shall we move on?" and no one could respond, which made the atmosphere freeze. It seemed like the guide lacked the ability to engage and uplift the group. On the way back on the tram road, I could even hear the guide sighing from the back. It's such a shame for a tour of Jomon Sugi...

Additionally, while other tours had groups of 2 to 4 people, this tour had 8 participants. It was clear that the guide was struggling to manage the group. The guide and members had no choice but to leave it to chance, and while there is also a matter of compatibility, I was painfully reminded that a tour can be enjoyable or boring depending on the people involved.

屋久島の歴史や森の成り立ちなどの説明は分かりやすく特に問題ありませんでしたが、フリートークの際、節々に出てくるガイドさんのキツい口調や品のない態度に少しがっかりしました。休憩時に、「このグループは話が弾まないからもう行こうか」という発言もあり、誰ひとり返事ができず、空気が凍る。。。ガイドさん自身に場をまとめ盛り上げる力量がないのでは??帰りのトロッコ道では、後方からガイドさんのため息が聞こえる始末。せっかくの縄文杉ツアーなのに。。。
また、他のツアーが2〜4人で1グループだったのに対し、こちらのツアーは参加者8人。ガイドさんもまとめるのに苦労している様子がわかりました。
ガイドさんやメンバーは運に身を委ねるしかありませんし、相性もありますが、人次第で楽しくもつまらなくもなるのがツアーなのだと、痛感させられました。

I learned about mangroves for the first time in detail. Thanks to the knowledgeable guide, I had a great time.

マングローブのことをはじめてちゃんと知りました。
詳しいガイドさんのおかげでとっても楽しめました。

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day, and we couldn't see the stars. During the jungle tour, our guide provided instructions and ensured our safety while also giving us various explanations, allowing us to enjoy the strong night jungle on our own. Later, the guide sent us photos and the names of the insects, making the follow-up perfect. The guide was polite, friendly, and professional, which made us feel at ease.

当日はあいにくの天気で星は見ることができませんでした。ジャングルツアーではガイドさんの指示の元、安全に気を使いつつ、色々解説もしてくださり、一人では強い夜のジャングルを楽しむことができました。後ほどガイドさんより写真とその虫の名前を送ってくださり、アフターフォローも完璧です。丁寧かつフレンドリーでプロフェッショナルなガイドさんで、安心してついていけました。

Despite the somewhat cloudy weather, I was glad to be able to go snorkeling in the ocean with excellent visibility and see various fish. I also had the opportunity to sign up for parasailing on the boat, which allowed me to experience the best feeling of floating. I had arranged for a pickup, but considering the possibility of rain, I decided to go directly to the meeting place by car the day before. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a response via message, and the phone number provided on the day didn't connect either, so it seems there was a miscommunication. I was disappointed that at least the contact number for the day wasn't reachable.

やや曇りというあいにくの天気にもかかわらず、抜群の透明度の海でシュノーケリングができ、様々な魚たちを見ることができて良かったです。
船の上でパラセーリングを申し込むことができ、最高の浮遊感覚を味わうことができました。
送迎を申し込んでいたところ、雨の降る可能性も考えて前日に車で直接集合場所に行こうと変更したのですが、メッセージでの返信だけでなく、当日朝の電話も通じず、結局すれ違いになってしまったようでした。
当日の連絡先の電話くらいは通じるようにしてもらいたかったのが残念でした。

I visited the Blue Cave for the first time, and it was very beautiful! I thought it might be crowded during the second half of Golden Week, but I chose the 7 AM option, which turned out to be a great decision. Fortunately, there were few people, and the Blue Cave felt like a private experience! I was able to take a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory! There were also many fish, which was great. I would love to participate again! Thank you!

初めて青の洞窟来ました、とても綺麗でした！
ゴールデンウィーク後半で混んでいるかなと思っていましたが、朝7時からのを選択したのが良くとても運がいいことに人が少なく青の洞窟が貸切状態でした！
たくさん写真も撮っていただきとてもいい思い出になりました！
魚も沢山いて良かったです
また参加したいです！ありがとうございました

Not only did we see sea turtles, but we also spotted fish like clownfish! I was surprised to find several sea turtles in shallow waters where the depth was less than 2 meters! They were so focused on eating seaweed that they were indifferent to the humans floating nearby. Occasionally, they would surface for air, and I was able to take photos at those moments, creating wonderful memories. It was astonishing to be so close that I could almost touch them. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, being pulled along with a kickboard made it safe and enjoyable. Thanks to the buoyancy of the life jacket, I could float comfortably without worrying about breathing even if I took off my mask. The calm waves and shallow waters were also reassuring. It was great that I could join as an individual participant, and the shop provided transportation, plus we received photos right after returning, which was a delightful service. They also provided a map to some delicious restaurants. The sea turtle tour was the best, so exciting that I couldn't sleep! Thank you, guide!

ウミガメだけではなく、カクレクマノミなどの魚も見られました！！
ウミガメは２ｍもない足のつきそうな浅瀬に何匹もいて驚きました！
夢中で海藻を食べているので、浮いている人間には無関心です。
ときどき呼吸のために浮上してくるのですが、そのタイミングで写真を撮っていただけて良い思い出になりました。
触れるくらい近くにいて、びっくりです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても、ビート板で引っ張っていただけたので安心＆楽です。
ライフジャケットの浮力で、ずっと浮いてるのでマスク取っても呼吸の心配もないです。
波が穏やかで足が着く浅瀬なのも安心でした。
１人参加可でショップから送迎をしてもらえて、戻ってすぐに写真もいただけて嬉しいサービスでした。
美味しいお店の地図もいただけます。
興奮して眠れないほど、ウミガメツアーは最高でした！！
ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

A 63-year-old woman traveling alone. This was my third time canoeing. Since it's a single kayak, I could go at my own pace and relax. The river is wide, offering magnificent views and the sounds of birds and cicadas, making it the perfect forest bathing experience.

I thought trekking for 40 minutes would be tough, but the guide made it enjoyable with explanations and photos, so it was fine.

Seeing the waterfall for the first time was incredibly moving. The water was cold, but my goal was to jump into the plunge pool, and it was the best experience.

The return canoe ride was also fun with everyone chatting and laughing. Thank you to the guide!

63歳ババ1人旅。カヌーは3回目。1人乗りだから自分のペースでのんびり。川幅が広いから雄大な景色と鳥やせみの声で最高の森林浴。

トレッキングは40分で大変かなと思ったけどガイドさんが説明や写真などで楽しみながらだったから大丈夫でした。

初めて滝を見て大感動。水は冷たいけど目標は滝壺ジャンプだったから最高でした。

帰りのカヌーもみんなでワイワイで楽しかったです。ガイドさんありがとうございました

I was able to see everything I wanted to see (the starry sky, coconut crabs, and fireflies)! I was able to take my time taking photos of the starry sky and lay on the beach to enjoy the view. The staff worked hard to find the coconut crabs until we spotted them. Their stories were very interesting, and thanks to their excellent communication skills, I was able to enjoy my time with the other participants. I got to see many unique creatures that are typical of tropical regions, and honestly, I think I would have been satisfied even if I hadn't seen the coconut crabs or fireflies! The tour was packed with activities, and although it was supposed to be a two-hour tour, it actually extended to three hours... haha. Just be mindful of your plans for that night and the next day, as well as the restroom situation.

見たいと思っていたもの（星空、ヤシガニ、ホタル）が全部見れました！
星空はゆっくり写真を撮らせていただけて、浜に寝っ転がって眺めることができたし、ヤシガニは見つかるまでスタッフさんが必死で探してくださいました。
スタッフさんのお話がとてもおもしろく、コミュニケーションも上手にコントロールしていただいたおかげで他の同行者の方々とも楽しく過ごせて、南国ならではのしらない生物もたくさん見ることができ、正直ヤシガニやホタルが見えなくても満足できたと思います！！！
もりだくさんすぎて2時間のツアーでしたが実質3時間に延長…笑
当日の夜や翌日の予定と、トイレだけ要注意です。

It was Golden Week, so there were quite a few people, and our departure was delayed by about 30 minutes, but we were able to stay at the beach for about 4 hours. The lunch served was curry, which was delicious, but I thought it would have been even better if there were a few more menu options.

GWだったので多少ひとも多く、出航時間も30分ほど遅れましたが、ビーチでは4時間ほど滞在できました。
昼食はカレーが出て美味しかったですが、何種類かメニューがあれば、なお良いと思いました。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, so we couldn't see a perfect starry sky, but it was a wonderful experience to relax while floating on the river and watching the sky darken. If you bring your belongings, you'll end up getting on the boat with them, and they might get wet, so it's better to go without any bags. The guide took many more beautiful photos than I expected.

あいにく当日は曇りで満点の星空とはいきませんでしたが、空が暗くなっていく様子を河に浮かびながらゆっくり過ごせたのはとても良い体験でした。
荷物を持って行ったらそのままボートに乗ることになってしまって荷物が濡れたので、手ぶらで行かれた方がいいです。
ガイドのおじさんが思った以上に素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってくださいました。

First of all, my impression: it was the best starry sky! I was moved to see such beautiful stars even on Japanese land. The road to get there had very few streetlights, and I drove with some fear, but when I arrived, there was a guide waiting, which made me feel relieved. The binoculars that were prepared for us were already focused and ready to use. The starry sky tour had engaging talks that kept us entertained. I felt like I wanted to see the stars again if I could travel to another beautiful stargazing spot. I usually don't participate in tours like this, but I had a truly valuable experience this time, and I'm glad I joined. Thank you!

まず、一言感想を。
最高の星空でした！日本の陸地でもこんなに綺麗に星が見れるのかと、感動しました。
行くまでの道は街灯がかなり少なく、怯えながら車を、進めて行きましたが、現地に着くと案内係の方がいらっしゃって安心しました。
用意していただいてた双眼鏡もピントが合っておりすぐに使用出来ました。
星空ツアーも参加方で飽きさせないトークでした。
また、星が綺麗なところに旅行できたら、星空を観たくなりました。
普段こういったツアーなどはあまり参加しないタイプですが、今回すごく貴重な体験をさせて頂き、参加して良かったです。
ありがとうございました！

Right after we dove in, there was a sea turtle right there, and by the end, we were able to swim with over ten of them up close!

Perhaps because it was high tide, the sea turtles came quite close to the shallow areas, so we could snorkel comfortably within a range where we could stand. Neither my husband nor I can swim well, but the life jackets kept us floating nicely, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry!

The instructor, Komecchi, was very fun and kind, and we were able to get along well with the other participants, which made us very satisfied! We also had over 20 wonderful photos taken, and we were grateful for all the recommendations for spots in Miyako on our way back. Thanks to that, we had a fantastic time in Miyako Island! If we have the chance, we would love to do it again.

潜った直後からすぐそこにウミガメさんがいて、終わるまでには10匹以上はすぐ近くで泳ぐことができました！

満潮の時間だったからか、かなり浅瀬のところまでウミガメさんが来てくれたので、最後まで足のつく範囲でシュノーケリングができました。夫婦そろって全然泳げませんでしたが、ライフジャケットがかなりぷかぷか浮けたので、安心して楽しむことができました！

インストラクターのこめっちさんもとても楽しくて親切で、参加者同士でも仲良く過ごせて大満足です！素敵なお写真も20枚以上撮っていただき、帰りに宮古のおすすめスポットもたくさん教えていただきありがとうございました。
おかげで宮古島大満足でした！機会があればまたお願いしたいです。

If you want to meet sea turtles, I definitely recommend this place. Before participating this time, I joined other snorkeling tours but couldn't encounter any.

The instructor, Komecchi, was very thorough in his explanations and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time!!

Thank you very much.

ウミガメに会いたいなら絶対ここをオススメします。
今回参加する前にほかのシュノーケルにも参加しましたが出会う事が出来ず

インストラクター（こめっち）さんの説明も丁寧で愛想も良く、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！

ありがとうございました。

The original reservation day had a forecast for bad weather, so I changed it one day in advance. As a result, I was able to see very beautiful stars. There was an explanation of the constellations, and they used a laser pointer to show their positions, which made it easy to understand. I had a fulfilling time.

最初の予約の日は、天気が悪い予報でしたので、1日前に変更しました。
そしたら、とても綺麗な星が見れました。
星座の説明もあり、レーザーポインターでの位置説明もあり、分かりやすかったです。
充実した時間を過ごせました。

We went to the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island to celebrate my partner's birthday. It was my first time doing a SUP tour and snorkeling, and the weather was perfect with a clear blue sea, which was amazing. During snorkeling, our guide, Arai, shared knowledge about Ishigaki Island on the bus ride and provided detailed explanations of the equipment in the water. He also took beautiful photos of us, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was fantastic. However, I did feel a bit seasick while diving, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to bring some medication.

During the SUP tour, we had a great time on the water thanks to our cheerful coach, Yusuke. The "Nice in!" cheers when we fell into the water were the best! We even sang a birthday song together on the water, which made my partner very happy. We took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

今回パートナーのBirthdayを祝うために石垣島の綺麗な海に行きました。SUPツアーとシュノーケリングを初めてやったのですが、よく晴れていて海も青く透きとおり最高でした。シュノーケリングではガイドの新井さんが行きのバスで石垣島の知識など説明し、海では丁寧に道具の説明、海での写真を綺麗に撮っていただき、またウミガメにも遭遇できてとても良かったです。ただ潜ってる最中にちょっと酔ってしまい酔いやすい人は酔いどめ必要かも。SUPツアーでは明るいユウスケさんのコーチングで海の上を楽しく過ごせました。途中何度も海に落ちてしまったときなどナイスイン！の掛け声最高です。また海の上でみんなでBirthdayソングを歌ってくれてこんなにも楽しい時間を過ごせるなんてパートナーもとても喜んでいました。写真も沢山撮って頂き最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

Are we really going into such dark woods? That was my initial thought when I got out of the car. However, the excitement grew as I thought about the possibility of seeing a coconut crab.

I was informed that there was a guide! As we climbed the slope, we spotted a coconut crab glowing blue-purple under the light, nestled between the rocks. I couldn't see its whole body, but its large claws were impressive and quite striking.

It was a day when the tide was low, so we also went to the water's edge. We even got to see baby eels hiding among the rocks✨. When we turned off the light, there was a gentle glow from tiny creatures. We were welcomed by fireflies as well.

I was so happy to participate in this tour and meet these creatures for the first time in my life. The guides were incredibly kind, unique, and reliable—absolutely the best!

こんな暗い木々の中に入っていくの？車から降りたときの初めの思いです。でも、ヤシガニに会えるかもと思うと、期待の方が大きくなりました。
ガイドさんがいました！と教えてくださり、斜面を登っていくと、、、ライトで青紫に光るヤシガニが岩の間にいました。体全体は見えませんでしたが、ハサミが大きくてびっくり。迫力がありました。
ちょうど潮が引いている日でしたので、水辺にも行きました。岩陰にいるウツボの赤ちゃんにも会うことができました✨
ライトを消してみると、小さな優しい光も。ホタルにも歓迎してもらいました。
このツアーに参加させていただき、人生初の生き物たちと会えてとても嬉しかったです。
ガイドさんたちもとても優しくてユニークで頼りがいがあって最高❗️でした。

I had a rich experience even though it was just a half-day course! I got to see beautiful coral, feed the fish, and even see turtles. I recommend it for those who have a short stay and want to make the most of their last day.

半日コースなのに濃厚な時間が過ごせました！
美しい珊瑚、お魚の餌やり、亀も見れました。
滞在日数が少ない、最終日まで遊び倒したい方にオススメです。

I was nervous about whether I would get to see a sea turtle until the day of the event, but I was thrilled to encounter one right at the start! My elementary school daughter was also very satisfied with her first snorkeling experience! The instructor was cheerful and provided thorough guidance, which made me very happy. Thank you so much!

当日までウミガメに会えるかドキドキでしたが、開始早々に出会えて感激しました♪
小学生の娘も大満足の初シュノーケリングとなりました！
インストラクターの方も明るく丁寧にレクチャーいただき嬉しかったです。本当にありがとうございました^ ^

I received a detailed explanation, starting with the formation of Yakushima, and particularly appreciated the thorough information about the plants. The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy a refreshing forest bath, spending a very enjoyable time.
It was great that I could try on the rental shoes at the airport. However, there was a bit of an odor lingering on the raincoat and backpack, and I would have liked them to be properly deodorized.

子細に渡り説明していただきました。屋久島の成り立ちを初め、特に、植物について丁寧な説明がありました。天気も良く、清々しい森林浴が出来て、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
レンタル靴は空港で試し履き出来たもの良かったです。しかし、レインコートやバックパックには少し臭いが残っており、しっかりと消臭して欲しかったです。

My husband and I participated together. I was a bit nervous since it had been a while since I last went snorkeling, but the accompanying staff were very kind and made it a wonderful experience! We got to see many sea turtles and tropical fish, and I was thrilled to take lots of photos with the sea turtles. I definitely want to use this service again next time.

主人と2人で参加しました。久しぶりのシュノーケリングで少し緊張していましたが、同行スタッフの方が親切に対応してくださり、素晴らしい体験ができました！
海亀や熱帯魚にもたくさん会えて、海亀との3ショット写真もたくさん撮って頂き感激です。次回もぜひ利用させていただきたいと思います。

I chose this place because it has private showers, and I felt it was a good decision thanks to the kind instructor. Since it was my first diving experience, I was really scared at first, but thanks to the instructor, I quickly got used to it and was able to enjoy myself! They had a very gentle smile, which made me feel at ease. However, the other instructors didn't smile much, and I might have been more scared if I had been with someone else...

The photos of the Blue Cave on the website included shots taken with our faces above the water and others taken from below, so I was expecting that. It was a bit disappointing that it ended rather abruptly!

But I was able to see beautiful fish outside of the cave, and since it was my first time, I was satisfied! The shower room was clean, which was great. However, the water pressure was very weak, and having only two hair dryers might be a bit inconvenient.

個室シャワーがあるのでここに決めましたが、担当してくれたインストラクターさんが優しく、ここにして良かったと思いました。
初ダイビングだったので、最初ものすごく怖かったけど、インストラクターさんのおかげですぐに慣れて楽しむことができました！
すごく優しい笑顔の方で、安心できました。
ただ、他のインストラクターさんはあまり笑顔がなく他の方だったらもしかしたらもっと怖かったかも…

hpの青の洞窟の写真は、海の上で顔を出しての撮影の写真や、下から撮ってもらっているような写真があったので、それを期待していたら、意外にもあっけなくおわってしまったのは少し残念！

でも、洞窟以外で綺麗な魚を見れたし、初めてだったので満足できました！
シャワールームも、綺麗でよかった。
ただ、水圧がものすごく弱かったのと、
ドライヤーが2個だけなのは少し不便かも？

I was able to meet two sea turtles and various fish. I was surprised that I could swim so close to the sea turtles and even have my picture taken with them! The instructor took many wonderful photos for me. I had a happy time that flew by in an instant. Trekking is great, but I definitely recommend snorkeling as well!

2匹のウミガメと色々な魚に会えました。ウミガメとあんなに近くで一緒に泳いだり、写真を撮ってもらえるなんてビックリ！！インストラクターさんに素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました。あっという間の幸せな時間を過ごせました。トレッキングもいいですが、シュノーケリングも絶対におすすめです！！

I participated in the Pumpkin & Snorkeling one-day tour. The result was that the pumpkin alone was enough. The one hour of snorkeling at Shigira Beach wasn't worth being a tour. I've participated in snorkeling tours several times before, and this was disappointing. I did get to see a sea turtle.

If you don't have a rental car, there is a fee of 1,000 yen for transportation between tours. The dining options were either closed due to Golden Week or extremely crowded... The food was delicious, but I felt rushed due to the lack of time.

The pumpkin experience was fantastic! It was an adventurous tour that will remain in my memories. The return trip was a bit scary due to high waves.

There are no showers. The tour ends at Bora Beach, but taxis do not come. If you're taking a taxi to participate, it's essential to have the taxi driver's business card. If you don't arrange for a pickup for the return, it can be really troublesome. Be careful, as I was refused pickup even after calling multiple taxi companies through the DIDI app! I think it would be better if they provided more announcements about that.

Since there is no shuttle service, transportation costs are out of pocket. Considering the lack of showers, it felt a bit pricey. I recommend the tour focused solely on the pumpkin. The tour guide was very nice. Thank you!

パンプキン＆シュノーケル一日ツアーに参加しました。
結果はパンプキンだけで十分です。
シギラビーチのシュノーケル1時間は、ツアーにするほどのものではありませんでした。
私も今まで何度かシュノーケルのツアーに参加していますが、ガッカリレベル。
ウミガメにも会えました。

ツアー間の移動はレンタカーでない場合、1000円徴収されます。
食事処もGWの為か休業中だったり、すごい混雑だったり…
味は美味しかったのですが、時間がなく焦ってしまいました。

パンプキン最高です！
冒険が味わえて思い出に残るツアーです。
帰りは波が高くてちょっと怖かったです。

シャワーありません。
帰りはボラガビーチで解散ですが、タクシーが来ません。
行きにタクシーで参加される方は、タクシー運転手さんの名刺必須です。
帰りのお迎えの約束をしないと本当に困ります。
DIDIアプリ、直接タクシー会社に複数電話するもお迎え断られるので要注意です！
その辺ももうちょっとアナウンスして下さると良いと思います。

送迎がない為、移動は実費。
シャワーがないなど考えるとちょっと割高だったかな。
パンプキンだけのツアーがオススメです。
ツアーのお兄さんはとても良い方でした。
ありがとうございました！

Iriomote Island has unpredictable weather, and it rarely clears up, so if you want to see the starry sky, it's better to stay for multiple nights to increase your chances! I only stayed for one night, but I was fortunate enough to have clear weather and was able to see the stars clearly. I was a bit anxious about the night canoeing, but I didn't have any particular worries.

The guide was knowledgeable about the stars and taught us a lot. The stargazing wasn't done in a narrow mangrove area; it was along a river with the ocean nearby. While mangroves are around, it doesn't feel enclosed. The wide river is perfect for stargazing as there are no obstructions, making it a wonderful experience.

西表島はお天気がよめず、晴れることが少ないので星空を見たいなら連泊したほうが可能性が高そうです！私は一泊だけでしたが、たまたま天気に恵まれてはっきりとした星空を見ることができました。夜のカヌーで落ちないかと不安もありましたが、特にそんな心配はありませんでした。
案内してくれた方は星について詳しく、たくさんのことを教えてくれました。
狭いマングローブの中に入っていくというわけではなく、海がすぐ側にある川での鑑賞です。マングローブは周りにありますが、囲まれているという感覚はありません。星空を見るのには広い川の方が邪魔するものがなく、素敵な体験でした。

The tour I participated in was packed into one day, covering must-see spots in Yakushima such as Shiratani Unsuikyo, which is said to be the model for Princess Mononoke, and Jomon Sugi.

While I was excited, I also had a lot of anxiety about whether I could keep up with the walking. However, thanks to Tsugimachi-san, a cheerful and knowledgeable guide who is even more informative than Siri, the tour turned out to be incredibly enjoyable and flew by, even for someone like me who wasn't very confident in my stamina.

I will never forget the taste of the tonjiru that Tsugimachi-san prepared for us along the way.

I was also truly impressed by the skill with which Tsugimachi-san took numerous photos at key points.

If you're considering participating, I highly recommend rewatching Princess Mononoke before joining!

今回参加したツアーは、もののけ姫のモデルの地とされる白谷雲水峡や縄文杉など屋久島の行きたいところを1日に詰め込んだスケジュールでした。

そのため、ワクワク半分の一方、歩ききれるか不安な気持ちも大きかったのですが、Siriより物知りで陽気なおじさんこと津曲さんによる絶妙なトークやガイドのおかげで体力に自信のなかった私でも本当に楽しくあっという間のツアーとなりました。

中でも、道中に津曲さんが準備してくれた豚汁の味が忘れられません。

また、津曲さんが要所要所で撮ってくれる数々の写真の上手さにも本当に感動しました。

参加を検討している方はぜひもののけ姫を見返して参加されてください。
