All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

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

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

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

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

This time, we signed up for the Jomon Sugi one-day tour plus the Shiratani Unsuikyo plan. The round trip to Jomon Sugi is 22 kilometers, and the round trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo is 5.5 kilometers of hiking. It was definitely long.

However, both my wife and I had no hiking experience at all, but thanks to our guides, we were able to enjoy it without having to retire.

It was physically demanding, so the muscle pain that came afterward was intense. But the experience of being in such a fantastical space made it worthwhile. The Jomon Sugi, which is thousands of years old, and the moss-covered forest that reminds one of the world of Studio Ghibli were truly sights to behold. The long journey brought a sense of excitement that made it all the more rewarding.

Along the way, we encountered Yakushima deer and monkeys, which made it really fun.

Additionally, since this was during the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of the usual one guide for 6 to 7 people, it was just my wife and me this time.

In the moss-covered forest, which used to have dozens of people waiting in line for photos, we were able to take our time with just the guide.

I also felt grateful for the guide's presence. In places like Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, we had to hike on unmarked paths. In the past, when there were many tourists, you could just follow the person in front of you, but now there are fewer people.

Without the guide, I would have felt anxious about the long distance, and there was a real possibility of getting lost.

Moreover, having the guide allowed us to see many sightseeing spots on the way to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. I think we would have missed many things without them.

This time, our guide for Jomon Sugi was a tall, dandy man named Minoda, who was cheerful and fun to talk to.

The guide for Shiratani Unsuikyo was knowledgeable and great at taking photos, named Niimura.
*He took several pictures of my wife and me, and the angles were fantastic.

My wife and I had our wedding at the end of August. We debated about our honeymoon, but since we couldn't go to tourist spots that seemed crowded due to COVID-19, we chose Yakushima.

I still believe that choice was not a mistake.

I would love to go again someday. Thank you very much.

*As a side note, having trekking poles makes hiking much easier. I recommend buying or renting them if you're a beginner.

今回申し込んだのは縄文杉1日＋白谷雲水峡のプランでした。縄文杉は往復22キロ、白谷雲水峡は往復5.5キロの登山です。とにかく長い。

しかし、私も妻も全く登山経験の無い初心者でしたがガイドの方達のおかげで、リタイアする事なく楽しめました

身体を酷使するので後から来る筋肉痛は酷かったです。でもその分幻想的な空間を味わえます。樹齢数千年の縄文杉やジブリの世界を思わせる苔むす森は見ものです　道のりが長いからこそ得られる感動がありました。

途中にヤクシカや猿も出てきたりして本当楽しかったです

また今回はコロナ下の中だったので、普段は1人のガイドさんで6〜7人案内するのが、今回私と妻の2人だけでした

以前は何十人も順番待ちで写真を撮ってたと言う苔むす森も私と妻とガイドさんだけでゆっくり出来ました。

更に感じたのはガイドさんの有り難さです。
縄文杉や白谷雲水峡では道なき道を登ったりします。観光客が沢山居た以前なら前の人について行けば何とかなるかもですが、今は人が少ないです

ガイドさんが居なければ、長い距離に不安になるでしょうし、最悪外迷う可能性もあると思います


またガイドさんが居た事で、縄文杉や白谷雲水峡までの観光スポットを沢山見れました。居なければ気づかなかった思います



今回縄文杉のガイドさんは明るく背の高いダンディーなミノダさん。話が楽しかったです。

白谷雲水峡のガイドさんは博識で写真を撮るのが上手なニイムラさん。
　※何枚か妻と2人の写真を撮影して頂きまし
　　たが、アングルが素晴らしかったです。


私達夫婦へ8月末に結婚式を挙げました。
新婚旅行は悩みましたが、コロナ下で人が多そうな観光地は行けなかった為、屋久島を選びました。

その選択は間違いでは無かったと今も思います。

またいつか行きたいです
ありがとうございました。

※余談ですが登山ストックはあるとかなり楽になります。登山初心者なら買うなりレンタルする事をお勧めします。

Due to the impact of the typhoon and the number of participants, there were changes up until the morning of the event, but I'm really glad it was carried out safely. The staff were kind and had a wealth of knowledge about marine life. We were able to see three types of turtles and even a cobia that was stuck to a shell. The staff shared videos they took, which allowed us to see everything more clearly. There was also a service for renting underwater cameras, and the data was easy to download. Since regular cameras and smartphones can't capture the fun memories underwater, this is a high point. Not only did we get to see the rare and highly venomous sea snake, but the staff even dove in and caught it with their bare hands for us to touch. My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had no problems and enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much!

台風の影響や参加人数の関係で当日朝まで変更があったりしましたが、無事に決行出来て本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆さん親切で海の生き物の知識も豊富です。亀探しも三枚(?)の亀や甲羅に張り付いたコバン鮫まで見れましたし、スタッフの方が撮った動画をシェアしてくれるのでより鮮明に見られます。水中カメラ貸し出しのサービスもあり、データも簡単にダウンロード出来ます、普通のカメラやスマホでは海の中での楽しい思い出を残せないので、ここは高ポイントです　珍しいという猛毒を持つ海蛇も見られただけでなくなんとスタッフが潜って素手で捕まえてきて触らせてくれました　カナヅチのシュノーケル初体験のツレも問題なくとても楽しんでいました。どうも有難うございました。

The Jomon Sugi was harder than I imagined, but I really enjoyed it, especially with the differences in explanations from the guide during the ascent and descent. I felt that if I touched on everything during the climb, I wouldn't have made it to the end, which seemed well thought out. Since it was mountain climbing, I was worried about being forced into a sense of unity or a study-like experience filled with explanations, so I appreciated the trekking style where I could observe the mountain in my own way and ask questions if I had any. The guide was very responsive to any inquiries, which was a great help. I also felt reassured by the calm words offered to those who had hurt their feet, which were not driven by emotion or momentum. I just wish Jomon Sugi were a bit closer! It was a very enjoyable time.

On the second day, I was a bit anxious about the difficulty of the Jomon Sugi trek, but we had a different guide for the Shiratani Unsuikyo, who took into account the previous day's trekking for pacing, breaks along the way, and optimal spots for photos, paying attention to even the smallest details. The guiding content during the trek was interesting, and the little behind-the-scenes stories were very entertaining, making for a fun day where I didn't feel too fatigued.

Both guides had different styles, but they were both wonderful, and my companion and I had such fulfilling two days that we both want to come back to Yakushima. Thank you very much.

想像以上にハードな縄文杉でしたが笑、登りと下りでガイドさんが触れる説明の違いもあり、とても楽しめました。登りで全てに触れていると最後まで持たなかったように思い、考えられていると感じました。山登りということで、変に一体感や和気藹々を求められたり、体験学習のような説明だらけのお勉強になったりするのは嫌だなと思っていたので、自分なりに山を見て、質問があれば聞くというスタイル、そして聞けばなんでも答えてくれるガイドさんがいるトレッキングはとてもありがたかったです。途中、足を痛めた方への言葉なども、感情や勢いに任せない冷静なものでとても頼もしく感じました。後は縄文杉がもっと近ければと思いますが笑　とても楽しい時間でした。
また、1日目の縄文杉のハードさからやや不安に思っていましたが、2日目の白谷雲水峡はまた別のガイドさんで、こちらの方も前日のトレッキングを踏まえた上でのペース配分や道中での休憩、ベストな位置での写真撮影等細やかなところまで気遣っていただきました。また道中でのガイド内容は勿論、ちょっとした裏話もとても面白く、疲労をあまり感じない楽しい1日になりました。
お二人ともタイプは違いますがどちらも素敵なガイドさんで、私も連れも、また屋久島に来たいと思うほど非常に充実した二日間を過ごさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my friend and her child. It was my first time snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, so I was really looking forward to it, and it was truly breathtakingly beautiful. During the snorkeling, a staff member accompanied our small group, which made it easy to participate even with a child. The lunch bento was delicious, and the staff were all very kind, even joining us when my child wanted to go into the water! After our third snorkeling session, the staff member leading us said there was no way we wouldn't see a sea turtle in these conditions, and they successfully found one for us! It was my first time seeing one, so it became a wonderful memory for me, and my child kept talking about the turtle and snorkeling, so I think it became a memorable experience for them as well. It turned out to be a lovely memory from our trip! I would definitely like to use this service again the next time I visit Okinawa!

友達親子と3人で参加させていただきました。
慶良間諸島でのシュノーケルは初めてだったので凄く楽しみにしていましたし、実際に参加してホントに感動するくらい綺麗でした。シュノーケルの際は数人のグループにスタッフの方が1人ついてくださり子供を連れていても安心して参加できました。お昼休憩のお弁当も美味しかったですし、子供が海に入りたがっていると一緒に入ってくれたりとスタッフの方全員がとてもいい方でした！3回目のシュノーケル終わりにこのコンディションで海亀が見れないはずはないと、引率のスタッフの方が探してくださり見事海亀を見る事ができました！私は初めて見れたので凄く思い出になったのは勿論ですが子供もずっと亀やシュノーケルの話をしていたので思い出になったんだなと思いまし。旅の素敵な思い出になりました！
次回沖縄に行く際にもぜひ利用させていただきたいです！！

Since I have a physical disability, I opted for a private overnight tour at a mountain lodge. I managed to get through the trolley path, but once the serious climbing began, my legs started to hurt, and I had to ask the guide to carry my luggage. Without such kindness, I would never have made it to Jomon Sugi.

After struggling to reach the goal, I was truly moved by the divine beauty of Jomon Sugi when I saw it up close. The guide, who is young yet has traveled and lived around the world, shared fascinating stories that I really enjoyed. Their extensive knowledge of the mountains and plants was also very educational.

Due to my circumstances, I had to give up on Shiratani Unsuikyo for the return trip and came back the same way, but it was a miraculous experience for me as a person with a disability. Thank you very much.

身体障害者なので、貸切の山小屋一泊ツアーにしました。
トロッコ道は何とかなったものの、本格的な登山が始まってから、足が痛くなってきて、ガイドさんに荷物を持ってもらうことになってしまいました。もしこのようなご親切がなければ到底縄文杉までたどり着けなかったでしょう。
苦労してゴールし、間近で見た縄文杉の神々しさに本当に感激しました。
お若いのに世界中を旅したり暮らしてきたというガイドさんのお話もとても楽しかったです。山や植物の知識も豊富で勉強になりました。
そのような事情で帰りは白谷雲水峡は諦め、同じルートで帰ってきましたが、身体障碍者の私にとって奇跡のような体験でした。
本当にありがとうございました。

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

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

We participated as a couple.

Without any prior knowledge, we ventured into the night jungle...
There were two other groups with us.
We proceeded through the pitch-black jungle with the guidance of our guide.

We encountered frogs, coconut crabs, and various nocturnal creatures.
The full moon we saw from the beach during the harvest moon was very beautiful.

The most thrilling moment of the tour was when our guide was also surprised!
We encountered a habu snake preying on a frog. It was quite vivid, but we witnessed the ecosystem of the island firsthand.

It became a wonderful memory of our tour in Iriomote Island. Thank you, guide!

夫婦で参加しました。

予備知識ないままに夜のジャングルへ、、、。
私達の他、2組の方達とご一緒でした。
真っ暗闇のジャングルをガイドさんの案内で進みます。

カエルにヤシガニ、夜の生物に出会う事ができました。
十五夜で浜辺から見た満月がとても綺麗でした。

ツアーの中で一番刺激的だった事は
ガイドさんもびっくり！
ハブがカエルを捕食している場面に遭遇。生々しくもありましたが、、
島の生物生態系の姿を目の当たりにしました。

西表島での良い思い出のツアーとなりました。ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

It was my first fishing experience. My 4-year-old daughter also participated, and we had a great time. I will book again next time. I recommend it.

初めての釣り体験でした。
４歳の娘も参加して、とても楽しかったです。
また次回も予約します。おすすめします。

I participated in this trip alone. The guide took videos and photos that I couldn't capture on my own, and shared unique stories about the photo spots, making it an unforgettable journey. Thank you very much.

Since it was a tour, it couldn't be helped, but the schedule ran about an hour late, which made us rush during lunchtime and while buying souvenirs, and we ended up in a disappointing situation at the end. I was picked up at the airport's second parking lot, but on the way back, I was dropped off in front of the airport, which meant I had to walk unnecessarily to the second parking lot (it was about a two-minute walk, though). I thought I might be able to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo on my own next time.

Also, since it was the day after a physically demanding hike up Mount Kuju, I wondered if 9 AM would have been better... but I also thought that with a tour, we might have been able to reach Taiko Rock (the challenges of a tour). There are still many places in Yakushima that I haven't visited, so I would like to request another tour next time.

一人旅での参加でした。ガイドさんには、動画や、写真など一人旅では撮れないのを撮って頂き
写真ポイントなどﾂｧｰならではのお話もして頂き忘れられない旅となりました。ありがとうございました。

ﾂｧｰなので、しかたのないことなのですが、予定が一時間弱押してしまい、お昼の時間、お土産を買う時間、
ﾚﾝﾀｶｰ返却に追われ、最後残念な形になってしまい
ﾋﾟｯｸｱｯﾌﾟして頂だいたのは、空港第２駐車場だったのですが、帰りは空港前で降ろして頂き、無駄に第２駐車場まで歩きました。(徒歩二分くらいなんですけど)
白谷雲水峡は次は一人でもいけるかなとも思いました。
また、体力的にやくスギ登山の翌日だったのですが、
9時でもよかったかなと…でもﾂｧｰだと太鼓岩までいけるのかなとも…(ﾂｧｰの難しさ)
屋久島、まだまだ行けてないところもあるので
次回もお願いしたいと思っています。

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

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

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

Due to the last-minute reservation, I received emails from other companies stating they couldn't arrange a guide or were still confirming, but I quickly received a confirmation email from this company. The hotel I stayed at was in a location where most tours wouldn't pick up, but they came to get me (there is an additional fee). Since I usually don't drive and toured with a rental car on the day of arrival, I found the signs confusing and kept missing turns, so I was very grateful for the pickup. During the tour, the guide was not only knowledgeable but also considerate, suggesting routes with good views and taking photos to ensure we had a great time. They provided knee supports and gloves to protect our hands, which showed their thoughtfulness. On the way back, they took me to a sightseeing spot where I had trouble finding the turn the day before, and they even guided me to the meeting point for the next day's Jomon Sugi tour (which I booked with a different company and drove to the meeting point). I was pleased to hear they also accommodate English speakers, so I definitely want to request their services again when my overseas friends visit. Thank you very much!

予約が直前になったこともあり、他社はガイドが手配できない等の断りメールや確認中メールが来てなかなか返信がもらえなかったのに、すぐに確定メールをいただきました。
私が泊まったホテルはほとんどのツアーではピックアップしてもらえないところにありましたが、（追加料金はありますが）ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。普段車に乗らないですし、到着した日にレンタカーで観光しましたが、標識がわかりづらく何度も通り過ぎてしまっては引き返すを繰り返した身としては、とてもありがたかったです。ガイド中はもちろん、知識も豊富ですが、どのコースだと景色が良いからこのコースにしましょうとか、写真撮りましょうとかどうしたら楽しんでもらえるかを考えてくださったり、膝を守るためのサポーターや手を守る軍手もくれたり、気遣いも半端なかったです。帰りも前日に曲がる道がわからなかった観光スポットにも連れて行ってくれたり、翌日の縄文杉ツアー（こちらは別会社で予約の上、集合場所までレンタカー）の集合場所まで実際案内していただきました。
英語も対応されているということで海外の友人が来る時にはここにまたぜひお願いしたいと思いました。
本当にありがとうございました！！

If you want to see wildlife, early morning seems to be the best time! I went in late September and encountered many Ezo deer. The tour provided all the necessary equipment, so even though it was pouring rain in the first half of the day, it was not a problem at all. Thanks to the weather, I also got to see a white-tailed eagle and a red-crowned crane! Photography was allowed freely. Even in September, it can get quite cold in the mornings and evenings, so please dress warmly! The hand warmer given by the guide was a lifesaver.

野生動物が見たいなら、早朝がいいようです！
9月下旬に行きましたが、たくさんのエゾシカに会えました。
ツアーは万全の装備を全て貸してくれたので、当日前半は超絶大雨でしたが、全く問題なく、この天候の味方があって、オジロワシと、タンチョウにも会えました！
カメラ撮影も自由でした。9月でも朝晩はかなり冷えるので、暖かくして下さい！
ガイドさんがくれたカイロに救われました

I chose this course because I wanted to relax on a solo trip. The high-speed boat does sway, but I took motion sickness medication and it was fine. When we arrived at the port, I felt a bit guilty that I was the only passenger during the transfer to the beach, but the driver slowed down at a scenic spot, which made me happy. The beach was truly beautiful and soothing. The staff were also kind, which was great. While snorkeling, I was searching for sea turtles and was about to give up when I turned around and saw a sea turtle right behind me eating! It was adorable to see the turtle come up for air. I was able to swim with it for a little while. It had a light blue tag on its fin for identification purposes. Just being able to see the sea turtle made me so happy. The lunch was delicious too. The view of the sea from the restaurant's terrace was beautiful. I was grateful for the facilities like showers, toilets, changing rooms, and a spin dryer that were well-equipped for the hotel. I made great memories by participating in this tour.

Unfortunately, due to the moral issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were many parents and couples who were not wearing masks and making noise in the high-speed boat and the waiting area outside. Additionally, there were couples who removed the signs indicating that certain seats were not to be used for social distancing and infection prevention. I understand that the boat staff cannot monitor everything, but I think it would be good to have announcements or explanations about the unusable seats during boarding.

一人旅でのんびりしたかったので、このコースにしました。高速船なので揺れますが、酔い止め飲んで大丈夫でした。港に着いてからビーチまでの送迎が、お客さんが私だけで申し訳ない気持ちになってしまいましたが、運転手さんが、絶景のところでスピードを落としてくださり、嬉しかったです。ビーチは本当にキレイで癒されます。スタッフの方たちも優しくて良かったです。シュノーケリングでウミガメを探していて、なかなか見つからず諦めかけた頃に、振り返ったら自分のすぐ後ろでウミガメがお食事中でした❗ウミガメが顔を水面から出して呼吸？したりと可愛かったです。少しだけですが一緒に泳ぐことができました。ヒレに個体識別用？の水色のタグが付いていました。ウミガメに会えただけで幸せでした。お昼も美味しかったです。（牛丼）レストランのテラスから望む海がキレイです。シャワーやトイレ、更衣室、脱水機などホテルのため設備が整っていてありがたかったです。このツアーに参加していい思い出ができました。
残念なのは、コロナ禍である中モラルの問題でしょうが、高速船の中や、外の待合室でもマスクしていないで騒ぐ親子やカップルも多く、また船の座席にわざわざソーシャルディスタンス、感染予防のためこの座席は使用できません。と張り紙がされているのに、その紙を外して座るおバカなカップルもいました。船のスタッフさんは、そこまで監視できないのでしょうけれど、せめて船内放送や乗船時に、張り紙の座席は使用不可と説明があってもいいのかなと思いました。

It was a great experience to see various creatures and mangroves! The guide was easy to talk to, and I was glad to hear many interesting stories! Thank you very much!!

色々な生き物やマングローブ見れてとても良い体験になりました！お兄さんも話しやすく、色々なお話を聞くことが出来て良かったです！ありがとうございました！！

Amazing experience with lots of things to do, beautiful scenery both above and under water, we have seen many kinds of fish and also we were swimming with a turtle. Staff created amazing photos. Diving can be done up to 3 times and also parasailing.

In the package a single diving (~20 mins) is included, additional diving costs 5500 yen which was not disclosed until we were on the boat. Parasailing is also extra. It's actually understandable but this information should be properly disclosed, I though I could get 2 dives with the initial price.

I was very satisfied with the tour, which provided information about the start time based on the probability of encountering turtles from the day before! The guide on the day was also wonderful, and we were able to see many turtles while snorkeling. They later shared beautiful photos with us via LINE. The Pumpkin Cave was cool, and it was a great workout in the morning, so I recommend experiencing it during your stay in Miyako Island. However, be cautious as having too many people can make it difficult to hear the explanations about the cave and take photos.

前日から亀の遭遇確率でツアー開始時刻を案内してくれるなど、非常に丁寧なツアーで大満足です！当日のガイドさんの案内も素晴らしく、無事シュノーケリングでは沢山の亀に会うことも出来、写真もすてきな物をラインで後から共有いただきました。その後のパンプキン鍾乳洞も涼しく、午前中に良い運動になったので宮古島滞在中に1日は体験されることをおすすめします。ただ人数が多すぎると写真撮影や鍾乳洞の説明が聞こえなかったりするので要注意です。

Thank you for guiding us through the Hakone Forest Course the other day.

We took several short breaks to match the pace of the children, during which you kindly explained a lot about the nature of Hakone. Thank you for your kindness. Riding mountain bikes and traversing the forest trails was a refreshing experience for our family. Even a few days after the tour, the children are still happily talking about it.

Next time we have the opportunity to go to Hakone, we would like to try a different course. Thank you very much.

この間箱根の森コースをご案内していただきありがとうございました。

こどものペースに合わせて小休憩を何度も取り、その間たくさん箱根の自然について解説していただきました。ご親切でありがとうございました。
マウンテンバイクに乗って、森の道を走るのは私たち家族にとって新鮮な体験でした。ツアーが終わったあと数日たってもまだこどもたちがツアーのことを楽しそうに話しています。

次回、箱根に行く機会があったら違うコースを走ってみたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I wanted to enjoy the beautiful sea on Ishigaki Island for the first time, so I made a reservation. I was staying very close to the meeting point, and they came to pick me up without any unpleasantness. I was happy to find that the guide had once lived in my hometown and was very friendly.

We set off with six people. They provided thorough guidance on safety precautions, which was reassuring. They took many photos and engaged in conversation, and despite the current COVID situation, they welcomed us warmly.

The sea was truly beautiful, and I was glad to see the lovely fish. They also provided information about the nearby islands. Additionally, they informed us about the threats to coral reefs, which made me think about how we can help protect the beautiful sea.

I believe this tour is definitely worth participating in. Thank you!

初めての石垣島で、綺麗な海を堪能したい！
と思い予約しました。
待ち合わせ場所から、すぐのところに宿泊していましたが嫌な顔せず迎えにきてくれました。
たまたま私の地元にかつて住んでいたガイドの方がいて、フレンドリーに接してくれて嬉しかったです。

6名で出発。
しっかり注意事項等案内してくれて安心です。
たくさん写真を撮ってくれて、話しかけてくれて
こんなコロナの状況にも関わらず優しく受け入れてくれました。

海は本当に綺麗で、美しい魚が見えてよかったです。
あれは〜島でと付近の案内もしてくれました。
またサンゴの危機も教えてくれました、さらに綺麗な海を守れるようにしていこうと思いました。

参加して絶対損はないツアーだと思います。
ありがとうございました！

Since it was the same boat as the diving tour, it felt like diving was the priority. Even when entering the water, diving took precedence, and I was a bit annoyed to be kept waiting when I was ready to get in.

ダイビングツアーと同じ船なので、基本ダイビングが優先の印象でした。海に入るのもダイビング優先で、こちらは入水準備ができているのに待たされたのはちょっと嫌でした。

We started with a walk through the forest. We explored the woods while listening to the guide's easy-to-understand explanations. After exiting the forest, we were greeted by a breathtaking starry sky. We could see the Milky Way and shooting stars, making it an unforgettable memory. Finally, we searched for coconut crabs. Thanks to the guide's diligent search, we were able to see the coconut crabs safely. It was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you.

最初は森の散策からスタート。ガイドさんのわかりやすい解説を聞きながら森を回りました。
そして、森を抜けるとそこには絶景の星空がありました。天の川や流れ星も見え、最高の思い出となりました。
最後は、ヤシガニ探し。ガイドさんの賢明な捜索の甲斐あって、無事にヤシガニを見ることができました。
とても素敵なひとときを味わえました。ありがとうございます。

I was able to change my plan to depart from Yakushima and visit the moss-covered forest that I wanted to see. Even though the trekking was challenging, I enjoyed the climb thanks to the interesting information shared with me.

屋久島発までのプランに変更していただき、行きたかった苔むすの森まで行くことができました。
キツさを感じるトラッキングも豆知識を教えていただき楽しく登山できました。

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

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

I participated in the tour starting at 6 AM. Since it was a weekday, I felt like we had the Kushiro River all to ourselves without encountering other canoes until the end. It was refreshing to paddle through the morning mist. I saw a white-tailed eagle and Hokkaido deer. I'm grateful for the guide's kindness, including the detailed explanations and taking us to the points in time for the train.

6時からのツアーに参加しました。平日でもあったので最後まで他のカヌーに遭遇することもなく、釧路川を貸し切っているようでした。朝もやの中を進むカヌーで爽やかな時を過ごすことができました。オジロワシ、エゾジカを見ました。丁寧な説明、列車が来る時間に合わせてポイントに連れて行っていただくなどガイドさんの親切に感謝です。

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

初めての石垣島旅行にあたり、天気にも恵まれ、有名なスポットを効率よく1日で楽しめました!
シュノーケリング、SUPともにガイドさんが優
しくレクチャーして下さり、ありがたかったで
す。
縞麗な写真もたくさん撮っていただき、思い出の写真も残すことができました。
また、予約にあたっての細かな連絡や質問に対してもご丁寧に対応していただき、感謝申し上げます。
ありがとうございました!
次の機会もぜひお願いしたいです！！

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

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

I had a great time, and the instructor was kind and taught us carefully! I will use this service again! Thank you!

とても楽しくインストラクターの方も優しく丁寧に教えてくれました！
また利用させて頂きます！
ありがとうございました！

We gathered at Ishigaki Port Terminal at 7:30 PM and moved by car. During the ride, we received various explanations, and the atmosphere in the car was lively!

After that, we got off and the tour began! I was thrilled to encounter rare creatures like the Japanese white-eye, insects, coconut crabs, and the Ryukyu scops owl!

Although the moon was bright, making it difficult to see the stars, for someone like me who grew up in the city, the starry sky was more than enough.

It was incredibly fun and brought me back to my childhood!

19時半に石垣港ターミナルに集合し、
車に乗って移動。
移動中からさまざまな説明をしてくださり、
車内は盛り上がっていました！

その後、降車してツアー本番！
メジロや虫、ヤシガニやリュウキュウコノハズクなど希少な生物との遭遇に感動しました！

月がしっかり出ていたので、星空はあまり見えないとのことでしたが、都会育ちの自分にとっては十分な星空でした。

童心に戻れて最高に楽しかったです！

As a trekking beginner, I was a bit worried, but thanks to the perfect guidance and pacing from our guide, I was able to fully enjoy both days. It was the longest walking distance of my life, and naturally, my feet hurt and I suffered from muscle pain, but I felt like I broke through my limits! The scenery of the forests in Yakushima was amazing, and it became an unforgettable two days.

Although we had different guides on the first and second days, both of them (Mr. Hidaka and Mr. Tsugimura) were knowledgeable, great at storytelling, and kind. They were very accommodating not only during the trekking but also in terms of transportation, listening to our various requests, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you once again, Mr. Hidaka and Mr. Tsugimura.

トレッキング初心者で少し心配していましたが、2日間ともガイドの方のパーフェクトなご案内とペース配分で味わい尽くせました。人生の中で最長の歩行距離で、流石に足は痛くなって筋肉痛にも苦しみましたが、自分の限界を突破できた感です！屋久島の森の景色は素晴らしくて、忘れることができない2日間になりました。

1日目と2日目でガイドの方は異なりましたが、お二方（日高さん、津曲さん）とも知識が豊富でお話上手かつ親切で、トレッキング中のみならず送迎の点でも色々私たちの我儘を聞いてくださって非常に有難かったです。日高さん、津曲さん、改めて有難うございました。
