All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

We took a bus to a dark jungle spot and walked towards the beach with flashlights. Along the way, we were able to see coconut crabs, hermit crabs, fireflies, and crabs. It seems that the Iriomote cat is rarely seen. Since the path was quite steep, it would be better to have long sleeves and long pants as gear.

It was cloudy, so we couldn't see any stars, but the guide was friendly and it was fun.

バスの送迎付きで暗いジャングルのスポットまで行き、歩いて懐中電灯で照らしながらビーチの方まで進んで行きました。
途中、ヤシガニやオカヤドカリ、蛍、カニを見つけることができました。
イリオモテヤマネコはほとんど見ることができないみたいです。
割と険しい道を歩いたりするので、長袖長ズボンの装備はあったほうが良さそうです。

曇っていたので星は全く見えませんでしたが、ガイドさんはフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

The Night Safari was such an exciting adventure! It felt like we were entering a place that was completely different. It would be difficult to do this on your own. Along the way, we spotted various creatures like coconut crabs, hermit crabs, Sakishima habu snakes, and Yaeyama fireflies, making it a very interesting experience. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat is completely different from seeing them in a zoo or aquarium, and it was a truly valuable experience.

As for the stargazing tour, I was worried about the clouds because a typhoon was approaching, but we were able to see the stars and even catch a glimpse of shooting stars! Lying on the grass in the park to watch the sky was wonderful. I definitely want to come back during a meteor shower next time I get the chance!

Both experiences provided high-quality photos later on, which made for great souvenirs from the trip. I set one of the coconut crab photos as my wallpaper!

ナイトサファリはこんなとこ？！みたいな所に入っていくので、探検感がとても楽しかったです。個人では難しいですね。
道中、ヤシガニ 、オカヤドカリ、サキシマハブ、ヤエヤマボタル などいろいろ見つけて、とても面白い体験でした。やっぱり、自然界に生きてる姿は、動物園や水族館で見るのとは大違いで、とても貴重な経験になりました。

星空ツアーは、台風が接近していたので、雲行きを心配していましたが、星空も見られたし、流れ星も見えました！
公園で寝転がっての、鑑賞。これは、流星群の時に来たいと思いました。次回チャンスがあれば、ぜひ！

どちらも高画質のお写真を後日頂けるので、旅の記念にとても良かったです。ヤシガニ待ち受けにしました

The day before, I received a call informing me that due to strong winds, the location for SUP had changed. Since the Blue Cave was not an option, we switched to snorkeling at another beach where we could see coral. (If that was undesirable, they mentioned that a free cancellation was possible.)

On the day of the activity, there were two guides, a man and a woman. We did SUP in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon. About half of the participants joined for either just SUP or just snorkeling. During SUP, besides us, there was one woman and one couple, creating a welcoming atmosphere for solo female participants. Although the location was changed, it was still the mangroves I had imagined, and as it was my first time doing SUP, I was very satisfied. I thought I would fall into the river, but surprisingly, I didn't. When I asked if the activity would be canceled in case of rain, they said it would still take place, but the greenery of the plants wouldn't look as vibrant, which would be disappointing.

SUP lasted until around 11 AM, after which we moved to the terminal and disbanded for a while. We had free time until around 1:30 PM to gather back at the terminal, so we could have lunch freely in the city. There was enough time to eat lunch and then go to a café.

In the afternoon, the group changed for snorkeling, and they provided wetsuits, which helped me endure the slightly cold water. The weather was variable, with sun and shade; when the sun was out, the coral looked vibrant and beautiful, but it became murky and dark when it was cloudy. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles that day. After the activities, we were taken back to our hotel, so I didn't need to borrow a shower.

Both guides were young but very nice people, and I felt safe participating! It was a lot of fun!

前日に電話があり、当日は風が強くなりそうとのことでSUPの場所が変更、青の洞窟は不可のためサンゴが見られる別の浜でのシュノーケリングに変更となりました。（それが嫌であれば無料キャンセル可能とのことでした）

当日は2名のガイドさん男女で、午前がSUP、午後がシュノーケリングです。SUPだけ、シュノーケリングだけで参加する方が半数くらいでした。
SUPは自分たち以外に女性一人、カップル1組が参加しており、女性一人でも参加しやすい雰囲気でした。場所が変更されたと言ってもイメージ通りのマングローブで、初SUPでしたがとても満足できました。川に落ちたりは当たり前かと思っていましたが意外と落ちないです。この時、雨天だと中止になるのか聞いたところ、開催はするがやはり植物の緑が映えないので残念な感じになるとのことでした。

SUPは11時くらいまでで、そこからターミナルに移動し一度解散します。たしか13時半まで自由行動でターミナル集合だったので、昼食は各自が市街地で自由にとることができます。ランチを食べてからカフェに行けるくらい時間には余裕がありました。

午後はメンバーが変わってシュノーケリングだったのですが、ウエットスーツを貸してもらえるので少し寒くても耐えられました。日が射したり陰ったりするような天気で、日が射すとサンゴも鮮やかな色に見えてキレイなのですが、陰るとやはり濁るというか、暗いです。この日はウミガメは残念ながらいませんでした。終わったらホテルに送ってもらえるので、シャワーは借りませんでした。

ガイドの方は二人とも若いですがとても良い人たちで、安心して参加出来ました！楽しかったです！

I tried mangrove SUP, and it was easy to ride, so I got used to it quickly. It was my first time on Iriomote Island, but the guide explained everything thoroughly, which was great. I was also happy that they took photos and sent them to me.

Due to the weather, we couldn't go to Barasu Island, but we changed to a water buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island, which was a valuable experience. The water buffalo were cute too.

I really felt that it was great to sign up for this tour and have various experiences. Thank you very much!

マングローブsupにしましたが、乗り方も簡単ですぐに慣れました。初めての西表島でしたが、ガイドの方が丁寧に説明してくれたので良かったです。また、写真も撮って送ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。
天気の都合でバラス島には行けませんでしたが、由布島で水牛車ツアーに変更になり貴重な体験が出来ました。水牛も可愛かったです。
今回このツアーを申し込み色々な体験ができて本当に良かったと思いました^_^
ありがとうございました。

Initially, I was scheduled to participate in a mangrove canoe and snorkeling tour, but due to the typhoon's waves, only snorkeling was canceled. Instead, I went sightseeing on Yubu Island. During the tour, the guide provided explanations about rare plants and creatures, making it a very meaningful experience. The journey was also enjoyable thanks to the guide's ability to keep the atmosphere lively! Time flowed leisurely on Yubu Island, adding to the sense of being in a different world. Overall, it was a great tour.

当初はマングローブカヌーとシュノーケリングに参加させていただく予定でしたが、台風の波の影響によりシュノーケリングだけは中止に。。
代わりに由布島観光をしてきました。
ツアー中はガイドさんから珍しい植物や生き物についての解説もあり、とても有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。道中も盛り上げ上手なガイドさんのおかけで楽しかったです！
由布島もゆったり時が流れていて、非日常感がよかったです。総じていいツアーでした。

I was anxious about whether the tour could proceed due to the typhoon, but I appreciated their polite responses and explanations each time I inquired. On the day before, I was informed that the beach for the sea turtle snorkeling had changed, and they confirmed with me again if I still wanted to participate. I decided to join, hoping to encounter the turtles.

In the morning, we visited the Pumpkin Cave, which was the place I wanted to go to the most. Walking through the sandy beach and underwater was more challenging than I expected, but I was overwhelmed by the giant pumpkin that appeared as soon as we entered, and I felt it was worth coming. I enjoyed listening to various explanations while exploring deeper, and I even encountered a sea snake. The last dive was scary, and my legs felt weak, but I took the plunge, and it became a great memory.

For lunch, I was taken to a lovely café with a great view, where I could relax.

In the afternoon, I experienced snorkeling for the first time, and I was nervous, but the guide helped me through the waves. I saw beautiful coral reefs and clownfish. I had almost given up on seeing a turtle, but in the end, the guide found one, and I was really happy to watch it swim and eat for a long time.

They took care to take photos of each group, creating fun memories. I am truly grateful for their assistance with the transportation arrangements, which made it possible for me to participate.

台風の影響で催行できるか不安で何度も問い合わせましたが、その都度見通しを説明してくれて丁寧な対応に好感が持てました。前日の早い段階で、海ガメシュノーケリングのビーチが変更になり、それでも参加するか再度確認して貰えました。出会えることを願って参加を決めました。
午前中はパンプキン鍾乳洞！今回一番行きたい場所でした。砂浜や海中を歩いていくのは思っていた以上に大変でしたが、中に入ったとたん現れた巨大パンプキンに圧倒され、来て良かったと感動しました。色々な説明を聞きながら奥の方まで楽しめた上に、ウミヘビにまで出会えました。最後のダイブは恐くて足がすくみましたが、思い切って飛び込んで良い思い出になりました。
お昼は素敵な見晴らしの良いカフェに案内してもらい、ゆっくり休めました。
午後は初めてのシュノーケリングで、ドキドキでしたが、波があるなかガイドさんに引っ張ってもらい助かりました。綺麗な珊瑚礁やクマノミも見れました。亀はほとんど諦めていましたが、最後にガイドさんが見つけてくれて、長い間亀が泳ぐ様子や餌を食べているところを見ることができて本当に嬉しかったです。
写真も一組ずつ丁寧に撮って貰えて、楽しい思い出ができました。送迎も相談に乗ってくれたので参加することができ、本当に感謝です。

I was picked up and had a great time chatting in the car. They taught us SUP with care and adjusted to our level! They also recommended some great places to eat in Kabira Bay, and since we couldn't try them at that time, I plan to eat there next time! The Blue Cave and snorkeling experience was wonderful; they provided detailed explanations inside the cave, and we got to see clownfish and sharks while snorkeling, which made us very satisfied! The fresh juice afterward was delicious and refreshing for our tired bodies!

ホテルまで送迎していただき、車中もお話ししてもらい楽しく過ごしました。
SUPも丁寧に教えてくれて、私たちのレベルに合わせ進んでくれました！
川平湾でおすすめのご飯も教えてもらいその時は食べれなかったので次回食べたいと思います！！
青の洞窟&シュノーケリングは洞窟内の説明を丁寧にしてくださり、シュノーケリングはクマノミヤ、サメも見れてとても大満足です！！
そのあとの生ジュースはとても美味しくて疲れた体に染みました！

I walked more than I expected, and there were some thrilling moments too. I was able to experience a bit of adventure!

I was unsure whether to bring my smartphone and ultimately decided against it, but the guide took photos for us, which I really appreciated. I received the data at the end! The photos inside the cave were a bit dark, though. (laughs)

Also, everything I needed was provided, so it was great that I could participate with just my swimsuit!

思ったよりもたくさん歩き、ちょっとスリリングな場面もあり？プチ冒険気分を味わうことができました！

スマホを持参しようか迷って、結局やめたのですが・・・
ガイドさんが写真をとってくれたので、個人的にはそれがすごく有り難かったです。
最後にデータをもらえました♪
洞窟内の写真は、若干暗めですが。笑

あと、必要なものは全部そろえてくれていたので、水着だけの身ひとつで気軽に参加することができた点は良かったです！

I participated with a friend.
On the scheduled date, it was quite cloudy, and I wasn't sure if we could take photos, but they suggested that if the conditions were not great, we could change the date. They were very flexible in accommodating us.
In the end, it was too cloudy that day, so we changed the date. Thanks to that, we were able to take photos with a beautiful full moon!
On the day of the shoot, they offered various posing suggestions, which helped us capture some really great photos! If you have specific poses in mind, I believe they can accommodate those as well.

After the shoot, they provided a lot of explanations about the stars, making it a very enriching experience.

I had a lot of fun throughout the shoot and am very satisfied!

Next time, I would like to do a shoot under the starry sky.

友達と一緒に参加しました。
予約した日程では、雲が多くて撮影出来るか分からない状態だったのですが、もし撮ってみて微妙だったら、日程変更できます。と提案をして下さり、とても柔軟に対応して頂きました。
結局その日は雲が多くて撮影できず、日程変更して頂きました。
そのおかげで、すごく綺麗な満月と一緒に撮影する事が出来ました！
撮影当日は、色々とポージングの提案をして頂いたおかげで、すごくいい写真が撮れました！
もし、撮りたいポージングがあれば、撮って頂けると思います。

撮影終了後には、星の説明を沢山して頂くなど、盛りだくさんでした。

終始楽しく撮影できて、とても満足です！

今度は、星空の時に撮影したいと思いました。

I had heard that the tour to Jomon Sugi and Taiko Rock in one day was tough, but I prepared myself and signed up. They were very attentive during the pre-tour consultation, which made me feel at ease participating in the tour. (There was a bit of trouble, but they kindly helped me out.) The guide, Kyoku, was very friendly and made it a wonderful day. They took a lot of photos for us as well. Thank you very much. For those who are not confident about doing the tour to Jomon Sugi and Taiko Rock in one day, this company also offers a two-day tour, which I recommend. I look forward to the next opportunity.

縄文杉と太鼓岩を一日で回るツアーはきついと聞いていましたが、覚悟してこちらに申し込みました。事前の相談にも丁寧にのってくれて安心してツアーに参加することができました。（トラブルがあったのですが、親切に対応してくれて助かりました。)ガイドの局さんはとても親切で楽しくて最高の一日となりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。本当にありがとうございました。縄文杉と太鼓岩を一日で回るツアーに自身がない人はこちらの会社に２日に分けるツアーもあるのでお勧めです。また次回機会がありましたらよろしくお願いします。

Since it was my first time on Iriomote Island, I signed up for this tour with the aim of experiencing mangrove canoeing and snorkeling. The season was right in the middle of spring, and the weather was perfect for a casual outfit of a swimsuit and T-shirt.

The long-awaited mangrove tour was a safe course that even small children could enjoy, while still providing a nice sense of adventure, making it very enjoyable. The guide was also kind enough to share interesting facts about the plants and animals.

Unfortunately, the afternoon snorkeling couldn't be conducted due to strong winds, but the alternative plan of canyoning was a thrilling activity with natural slides and jumping spots. This definitely required a wetsuit, but if it were summer, just a swimsuit might feel nice.

I felt that the best part of this introductory plan was that it left me wanting to explore more on Iriomote Island after the tour. If I have the chance, I would like to participate in another plan offered by this tour company.

初めての西表島ということもあり、マングローブカヌーとシュノーケリングを目当てにこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
季節はちょうど春の真っ只中。水着にTシャツのラフな格好でちょうどよいくらいの気候でした。
念願のマングローブツアーは、小さな子供でも楽しめる安全なコースながら、程よくアドベンチャー感も満喫できて非常に楽しめました。ガイドさんも親切に植物や動物の豆知識を教えてくれます。
午後のシュノーケリングはあいにくの強風で実施できなかったのですが、代替プランのキャニオニングは天然スライダー有り、飛び込みスポット有りのスリル満点のアクティビティー。流石にこちらはウェットスーツ必須でしたが、もし夏であれば水着だけでも気持ち良いかもしれません。
ツアーが終わった後に「西表島でもっと遊びたい！」と感じるところが、入門編としてのこのプランの塩梅の良さだと思いました。
また機会があれば、こちらのツアー会社さんの別のプランも参加してみたいと思いました。

I was worried about whether the tour would take place due to the typhoon, but it was amazing to meet the sea turtles in a safe location! My spouse and I were able to take beautiful photos with the sea turtles, which became a wonderful memory! ❣️

台風の影響で催行されるか心配でしたが、安全な場所でウミガメに会うことができ最高でした〜！
夫婦でウミガメとキレイな写真を撮っていただき、いい記念になりました❣️

I participated alone, but I was entertained the whole way and was able to create great memories. I learned a lot about what to do after the tour, and I enjoyed the entire day! If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to use this service.

ひとりで参加しましたが、道中からずっと楽しませてくれて、いい思い出をつくることができました。
ツアー後のことも色々教えてもらえて1日楽しめました！
また機会があれば是非利用させてもらいたいです。

On the day of the trip, it was quite windy and rainy in the morning, but when we arrived at the location, we were greeted by blue skies, warm weather, and a moment when the wind stopped and the waves were completely calm, allowing us to see beautifully down to the deep bottom. It was also the first time this year that we saw it, and through the clear kayak, we encountered a large, bright blue river master (carp), which was a mystical and wonderful experience. Thank you to our guide for being so kind and teaching us various things. On the way back, we stopped by Marukoma Onsen, where we received a discount coupon, and the open-air bath close to the lake surface was spectacular and enjoyable. My daughter and I had a lovely little trip together.

当日は朝から雨風が強めでしたが、現地に着いてみたら青空が見えて暖かく風も止んで波も全く立たない瞬間があり、すごく華麗に深い底まで見えました。また、今年初見えということでしたが、クリアカヤックの底を介して真っ青で大きな川の主（鯉）にも出会え、神秘的でとても良い経験ができました。ガイドさん、親切にして頂き、色々教えてくれてありがとうございました。帰りは割引券を頂いた丸駒温泉に立ち寄りましたが、湖面が近い露天風呂が壮観で良かったです。娘と二人、良い小旅行ができました。

We went to Miyako Island for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, due to the impact of a typhoon, the waves and swells were strong, and we couldn't visit the Pumpkin Cave. However, instead, we were able to go sea turtle snorkeling. We encountered many more sea turtles than we had imagined, and their adorable appearance as they munch on seaweed was delightful. Despite the strong swells and wind, we were fortunate that the water quality was clear, and we saw many fish (including a clownfish!). Despite the bad weather, we were able to enjoy ourselves safely and took many wonderful photos! We were also introduced to delicious local diners and cafes, which made us very satisfied. Thank you very much!

新婚旅行で宮古島に行きました。
あいにく台風の影響で波やうねりが強く、パンプキン鍾乳洞には行けませんでしたが、かわりにウミガメシュノーケリングをさせていただきました。
想像していたよりたくさんのウミガメに会うことができました。もくもくと藻を食べる姿が大変可愛かったです。
うねりも風も強いなか、幸運にも水質は綺麗で、たくさんの魚たちを見れました。(カクレクマノミにも遭遇！)
悪天候であったにも関わらず、安全に楽しむことができ、素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただきました！
地元のおいしい食堂やカフェも紹介していただき、大満足です。
ありがとうございました

スタッフは皆親切で優しく、とても助けてくれました。ツアーは本当に価値がありました。幻の島は青い海水がとても美しかったです。シュノーケリングも素晴らしかったです。海の下にはたくさんの熱帯魚がいました。スタッフは私たちがニモを見つけるのを手伝ってくれ、私のためにビデオも撮ってくれました。英語サービスがあるかどうかは分かりませんが、日本語を少し話せる外国人にはこの旅行をぜひお勧めします。

The staffs are all kind, gentle, and very helpful. The tour was really worth. The 幻の島 was really beautiful with a azure blue sea water. The snorkeling was great as well. There were so many tropical fishes under the sea. The staff also help us to find NIMO, and took video for me. I don’t know if they have English service, but I definitely recommend this trip to every foreigner who can speak a little Japanese.

According to others who participated with us, there are times when you can't find coconut crabs, but this time we were able to see them three times, and the kids were thrilled. However, it was a cloudy day, so we couldn't see the starry sky very well, which was disappointing. Since it's a subtropical climate, I think the chances of encountering a cloudless night sky might not be very high.

一緒に参加した他の方のお話では、ヤシガニ等を見つけられないこともあるそうなのですが、今回はヤシガニを三回も見つけることができて子供も大喜びでした。タダ、雲が多い日だったので星空はあまり見ることができず、その点は残念でした。亜熱帯の気候なので雲のない夜空に巡り合う確率はそんなに高くないのかもと思います。

The two staff members were kind and provided very clear explanations, and their service was attentive! On the day of participation, there were a few clouds, so I couldn't see a satisfactory starry sky, but during the night safari, I was able to see large crabs and rare owls, which are not found in Honshu. Finally, at the observation deck they took us to, I was able to see the night view of Ishigaki City, and taking photos with the night scenery in the background became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much! ^_^

スタッフの2人のお兄さんは優しくとても分かりやすい説明で話してくれて丁寧な対応でした！
参加日は雲が少し多く満足な星空を見ることができませんでしたが、ナイトサファリでは大型の蟹や貴重なフクロウ等、本州で見られないような生物を見る事ができました。
最後に連れて行ってくれた展望台でも石垣市の夜景を見る事ができ夜景をバックに写真をとってくれた事もいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました^_^

The guide was a young man who provided an amazing experience beyond my expectations, teaching us about the beautiful nature of Iriomote Island and the history of coexistence with the Iriomote wildcat as we paddled along.

Despite the strong winds that day, entering the mangroves felt like stepping into another world of tranquility. The light trekking after the SUP was also very enjoyable, and thanks to our guide, I learned a bit more about the nature of Iriomote Island.

Wearing a swimsuit is a must, and I recommend that women wear a rash guard or T-shirt over their bikinis. The guide also took photos at various points, but if you want to bring your phone or camera, it's best to have waterproof protection.

For lunch, I had the recommended vegetable soki and special pork bowl at a diner in Uehara Port. It was delicious.

In the afternoon, we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island due to the strong winds, but as an alternative, the guide suggested canyoning and visiting Yubu Island, which we chose. At Yubu Island, we were able to leisurely enjoy the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island. Although it was disappointing not to be able to snorkel, overall it was a very memorable tour.

One point to note: the ferry from Ishigaki Island was quite rocky, so for those who are prone to seasickness, I strongly recommend sitting at the back of the boat and taking motion sickness medication in advance.

Thank you very much to the pipi guides who arranged everything from the communication the day before to the guiding on the day! I will definitely use your services again when I visit!

ガイドの方は若い男性でしたが、予想を超える素晴らしいガイディングをしてくれ、西表島の美しい自然のこと、イリオモテヤマネコとの共存の歴史等色々なことをサップで進みながら教えてくれました。
当日は強風でしたがマングローブに入れば別世界に入ったかと思うほどの静寂。
サップをおりてからの軽いトレッキングもとても楽しくガイドさんのおかげで西表島の自然に少し詳しくなりました。笑

水着はマストで、女性の方はビキニの上にラッシュガードやTシャツを着用することをオススメします。
また、ガイドさんが要所要所で写真を撮ってくれますが、携帯やカメラを持っていきたい方は防水対策をしていった方がいいです。

お昼はガイドさんオススメの上原港の定食屋さんで野菜ソーキとスペシャル豚丼を食べました。うまい。

午後、強風の影響でバラス島シュノーケリングへは行けませんでしたが、代案として①キャニオニング②由布島を提案してくれ、由布島へ行きました。由布島でもゆったりと西表島の動植物を満喫でき、シュノーケルが出来なかったのは残念でしたが総合的にとても思い出に残るツアーとなりました。

※一点、石垣島発の往路の船が結構揺れたので、石垣島から行く方で酔いやすい方は船の後方に座り、酔い止めを事前に服用することを強くオススメします。

前日の連絡から当日のガイディングまで色々と手配してくれたpipiガイドの皆様、本当に有難うございました！また訪れた際は利用させて頂きます！

The content of the tour itself was great, and the guide's response was interesting and fun, so I highly recommend it. During my travels, I thought it would be difficult to find creatures on my own, so I decided to join the tour, and it was definitely the right choice.

First of all, the guides were very attentive. Since the weather on the day wasn't very good, they confirmed beforehand if that was okay, which left a good impression. During the tour, they kept the atmosphere lively and provided detailed explanations, making it a great learning experience while also being enjoyable.

Additionally, regarding the creatures we were there to see, the guide helped us find many, and I encountered a variety of species I had never seen before, which exceeded my expectations. I was moved to see fireflies, hermit crabs, and bats, among others. I thought I wouldn't be able to see the starry sky because of the clouds, but it turned out beautifully, creating wonderful memories.

ツアーの内容自体もよかったですし、ガイドさんの対応も面白く楽しかったので、とてもおすすめです。旅行中、なかなか自力で生き物を探すのは難しいと思ったので、ツアーに参加しましたが、参加して正解でした。
まず、ガイドさん達がとても丁寧で、当日の天気があまりよくなかったので、それでも良いかツアー前から確認していただき好印象でしたが、ツアー中も盛り上げていただきながら、詳しく解説もしてもらえたので、とても勉強になりましたし、楽しくツアーに参加をすることができました。
また、本題の生き物に関してもガイドの方にたくさん見つけていただき、予想以上に色々な種類の初めて見る生き物に出会えました。(ホタルや、ヤドカリ、コウモリなど見ることができて感動しました)
星空も雲が出ていて見れないかと思いましたが、綺麗に見ることもできたので、良い思い出です。

If you're looking to go snorkeling or diving in Yakushima, this is definitely the place to be!!

<Before Booking>
The response time from booking to confirmation was very quick, which was very reassuring! If you have any questions, they will even call you to provide detailed answers.

<Facilities Compared to Photos>
The facilities were even cleaner than in the photos! The shower rooms were very clean and comfortable, and they provided a lot of services. I felt very secure in terms of safety.

<During and After the Tour>
Even for beginners, they clearly explain how to swim and use the equipment. They ensured that there were plenty of breaks while swimming, making it safe for participants of all ages.

During the tour, they took a lot of photos, and even edited them for social media after the tour, providing excellent service. (The guide seems to really enjoy photography.)

The highlight of my experience was when I participated during a time when a typhoon was approaching, and it was uncertain whether we could go into the sea. They guided us to a spot where we could encounter sea turtles, and I finally got to meet a sea turtle, which was a dream come true!

<Communication Stress>
The guide was very friendly and shared recommendations for local hidden gems and sightseeing planning, making me feel like I was getting a great deal. There was absolutely no stress!

I had a very enjoyable time. I would love to participate in such tours again and again.

こういったツアーなら何度でも参加したいなと思いました。

Due to strong winds, snorkeling at the Blue Cave was difficult, and I was informed the day before that it would be changed to snorkeling at the beach. I was also worried about the rain and uncertain if snorkeling would be possible, so I requested a change to only the morning mangrove SUP via phone. I greatly appreciated how smoothly and kindly they accommodated the change. It rained on the day, but it didn't affect the SUP experience, and the rain added to the tropical atmosphere, making it interesting in its own way. At first, I was scared I might fall off the SUP, but I quickly got used to it. Paddling was a bit challenging, but the staff kept an eye on the pace and encouraged me at key points, allowing me to enjoy it without feeling rushed. Listening to the explanations about the caves and plants helped me learn more about the charm of the mangroves. The hotel pickup was also very appreciated.

風が強いため、青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングは難しく、ビーチでのシュノーケリングになると前日にご連絡いただきました。雨の心配もあり、シュノーケリングできるかも不安だったため、午前中のマングローブSUPのみに電話にて変更していただきました。快くスムーズに変更を受けていただいて大変助かりました。当日は雨でしたが、SUP体験には影響なく、雨が熱帯の雰囲気を出してそれはそれで面白かったです。SUP自体は最初は落ちそうで怖かったですが、すぐに慣れることができました。漕ぐのが少し大変でしたが、要所要所スタッフさんがペースを見て声をかけてくれたので、自分のペースで焦ることなく楽しめました。洞窟や植物の説明も聞けたことで、よりマングローブの魅力を知ることができました。ホテルへの送迎がとても有難かったです。

I received a thorough guide. They provided a lot of explanations and casual talks about the plants that grow in Yakushima and the history of Yakushima, making the trekking experience enjoyable. They were always kind, and I was very satisfied. I hope to visit Yakushima again someday. Thank you very much.

丁寧にガイドをしていただきました。屋久島に生える植物や屋久島の歴史についての説明、雑談をたくさんしていただき、楽しくトレッキングができました。常に優しく接していただき大満足でした。またいつか、屋久島に来たいなと思います。ありがとうございました。

I thought it would be a no-go because the weather was supposed to deteriorate, but they accommodated us with a schedule change, and we were able to take some wonderful photos! The finished photos turned out beautifully, and it became a great memory! Thank you very much!

天候が崩れていく予定だったため、ダメかと思っていたところ、時間変更など対応して下さり、とても素敵な写真を撮っていただけました！出来上がりの写真もとても素敵で、とても良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

They picked us up at the hotel, and the tour started with the night view of Ishigaki Island.

On this day, there were two couples, including us, and the guides were two people, one of whom spoke English fluently, which was impressive!

The other guide was a professional in stargazing! Although there were some clouds, we were able to enjoy the night sky with detailed explanations of the constellations. They took wonderful photos of the starry sky with a special camera and sent them to us the next day, creating great memories. Thank you very much. (The starry sky photo actually includes my full back view, but it has been cropped. They also sent about three other variations, including seated shots!)

During the night tour, we were able to see many tropical creatures, such as wild owls, large hermit crabs, and crabs, which was great!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the coconut crab, but it was a relaxing evening stroll that was heartwarming and enjoyable!

ホテルまで迎えにきてくれて、まずは石垣島の夜景からツアースタート。

この日は私たちと外国人カップルの二組でした。
ガイドさんは二人で、お一人は英語がペラペラですごかったです！

また、もう一人のガイドさんは星空のプロフェッショナル！
少し雲はかかっていたものの、丁寧な星座の解説とともに星空を楽しめました！
専用のカメラで素晴らしい星空フォトを撮ってくれて、
翌日には送ってくれていい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
(星空写真、本当は後ろ姿全身入っていますが、トリミングして載せています。このほかにも座りショットなど3パターンくらい送ってくださいました！)

ナイトツアーでは野生のフクロウや大きなヤドカリや蟹など南国ならではの生物を沢山見ることができてよかったです！

残念ながらヤシガニは見れませんでしたが、
のんびり夜の散歩という感じでほっこり楽しいひとときでした！

I participated in a sea turtle snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave tour.

First, we gathered at Shinjo Beach at 9:30 to start the snorkeling tour. The weather was great, the sea was beautiful, and there were many fish. I was able to see three sea turtles! I got to take a lot of pictures, and I was very satisfied!

Around 11:00, we finished, had lunch, and then regrouped at 13:00 at Borazen Beach for the afternoon.

In the afternoon, we went to Pumpkin Cave. It took about 20 minutes to walk to the cave. On the way there, the tide was low, and the seawater only reached my ankles, but on the way back, it was up to my knees, making it difficult to walk.

When we arrived, I was excited to see the Pumpkin Cave! It was mystical. Just when I thought it was over, we had to climb up the stalactites and go deeper inside. The footing was poor, and we climbed to high places without any safety harnesses, which was scary for someone with a fear of heights like me... There were moments that felt dangerous.

Due to a mix-up, the wetsuits weren't prepared, so I was in bare legs, and by the end of the cave tour, my knees were scraped and bleeding. The cave was truly wonderful, but I thought it was tough for someone with a fear of heights.

I also got to take many pictures here, which were sent to me later. I had a valuable experience, so I'm glad I participated.

ウミガメシュノーケリング＆パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーに参加しました。
まずはウミガメシュノーケリングツアー。
9:30に新城海岸に集合し、ツアーが始まりました。
天気もよくて海もキレイでお魚もたくさんいました。ウミガメには3匹会えました！
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、大満足です！
11:00すぎには終わり、昼食をとって、午後は13:00に保良泉ビーチに再集合でした。
午後はパンプキン鍾乳洞に行きました。鍾乳洞に行くまで20分くらい歩きます。行きは干潮でくるぶしほどまでしか海水がありませんでしたが、帰りは膝まであったので、歩きにくかったです。
歩いて着いた先には楽しみにしていたパンプキン鍾乳洞が！！神秘的でした。
そこで終わりかと思いきや、鍾乳石を登って、奥に進んでいきます。
ここも登るの？っという足場が悪く、高いところを登り、命綱ももちろんないので、高所恐怖症の自分には怖かったです・・・・
危険だなとヒヤッとする場面もありました。
ウェットスーツが手違いで用意されておらず、生足だったので、鍾乳洞のツアーが終わったときには膝が擦りむけて出血していました。
鍾乳洞はとても素晴らしいですが、高所恐怖症には厳しいなと思いました。
こちらもたくさん写真を撮ってもらえて、後ほど送って頂けました。
貴重な体験はできたので、参加してよかったです。

Due to bad weather, we changed from kayaking at Miyara River to snorkeling at a different spot. I was grateful for the flexible suggestions for alternative locations. Kayaking among the mangroves was refreshing and soothing in nature.

I was worried that we might not be able to snorkel due to the typhoon's impact, but the visibility was good, and we had a great time. The coral and fish were beautiful, though there weren't many unusual species. Even my five-year-old child, who can't swim, was able to snorkel. The guide was kind and helpful.

The only disappointment was the photos; we only had the first picture of us before diving, which was backlit, and there were no photos of us while snorkeling. I wish I had brought my smartphone. Next time, I want to dive at Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave.

悪天候のため、宮良川カヌーー違うスポットのシュノーケリングに変更。
臨機応変に違うところを提案してくださりありがたかったです。
マングローブのカヌーも自然の中、カヌーをすることができ　気持ちがよく癒されました。
シュノーケリングも台風の影響で出来るか心配でしたが透明度があり、充分楽しめました。

珊瑚や魚が綺麗でした、さほど変わった魚がいるわけではないです。
泳げない五歳の子供でもシュノーケリングができました。
ガイドの方も優しく良かったです。
写真だけが残念で、シュノーケリングしている人物の写真が潜る前の最初の写真だけで逆光で、潜っている写真が皆無でスマホを持っていけば良かったです。
今度は川平湾と青の洞窟を潜りたいです

This was my first stay on Iriomote Island. On the day I arrived, I booked this tour and had an amazing experience! After passing through the mangroves on the SAP, we went trekking to the Lucky Falls. The staff who guided us were incredibly polite and kind, which made me feel very reassured.

I was a bit anxious about trying the SAP for the first time, but once I got on, it was so much fun! It felt like we were traveling through a hidden paradise as we moved through the mangroves, and it was truly moving! I don't think you can have such an experience often.

As we walked towards the falls, the staff shared a lot of information about various plants and creatures, which was very educational! In the afternoon, due to strong winds affecting Barasu Island, we changed our plans and went to Yufu Island. Riding the cute water buffalo to the island was very touching, and the atmosphere was so nice that I wished we had more time.

The staff also recommended some great places on the island, and we went out to eat at night. It was delicious, and I'm really glad I got those recommendations! I've completely fallen in love with the nature of Iriomote, and I will definitely use your services again, so I hope to ask for your help next time!

今回はじめての西表島への宿泊でした。
西表島到着日に朝からこちらのツアーを予約して体験しました！
マングローブをSAPで抜けてからトレッキングして幸運の滝へと行きました。
担当してくれたスタッフの方がとにかく丁寧で親切でとても安心しました。
SAPは初めてで出来るか不安でしたが乗ってみたらとても楽しくてマングローブを抜けていく時は秘境を通っているようでとても感動しました！
こんな体験中々出来ないと思います。
また滝の方へ歩いていくのにも色んな植物のことや生き物の話をスタッフさんが沢山してくれたのでとても勉強になりました！
午後はバラス島の方が強風の影響でプラン変更になり由布島へ行きましたが可愛い水牛に乗ってついた島はとても感動的で雰囲気も良く時間が足りないくらいでした。
島のオススメのお店なども教えていただき夜は食べに行きましたがとても美味しくて教えて頂いて本当に良かったです！
西表の自然にすっかりハマってしまい、また必ず利用するのでその時はまたこちらでお願いしようと思うのでお願いします！

On the first day, we were picked up at the accommodation around 4 o'clock. Since it was spring break, we couldn't board the first bus due to a limit on the number of passengers, so we took the second bus. After getting off the bus, the weather was great, and the views through the trees were fantastic. Our group consisted mostly of adults from my family and another family staying at the same lodge, so we were able to walk at a comfortable pace and returned to the Arakawa trailhead in just under 10 hours.

On the second day, we encountered heavy rain like a typhoon in Shiratani Unsuikyo, even though it was March. I thought it was unavoidable to cancel due to the weather, but since the same guide group was staying another night, they changed our departure to early morning on the third day. I was grateful for the luck as the guide's schedule was also open. We were blessed with beautiful weather that made the heavy rain from the previous day seem like a lie.

Especially in Unsuikyo, since it was early morning after the rain, the water droplets falling from the moss and the wet trees and rocks created a very mystical atmosphere. The view from Taiko Rock was also great. Initially, we planned to leave for Unsuikyo later since it requires less time, but I thought the early morning departure was better because it was less crowded and the atmosphere with the moss was lovely.

The guide provided historical information that wasn't written on the explanation boards, as well as points that we learned later, and he made sure we took meals and breaks at less crowded places and times, which was very nice.

初日の縄文杉は4時過ぎに宿にお迎え。春休みということもあり、始発のバスには人数制限で乗れずに2便のバスになりました。バスを降りてからはとても天気が良く木々の合間から見える眺望も最高でした。グループは私の家族のグループと同宿の家族グループでほぼ成年ばかりで構成だったので、程よいペースで歩けて10時間弱で荒川登山口に戻ってきました。
二日目の白谷雲水峡は3月なのに台風のような大雨。天気には勝てないので中止も仕方なく思っていましたが、同じガイドグループの方ももう一泊しているということで、三日目の早朝出発に変更してくれました。同じガイドさんの予定も空いていたそうなので、幸運に感謝！二日目の大雨が嘘のような良い天気に恵まれました。
特に雲水峡は雨の後の早朝だったので、苔から落ちる水滴や、木々や岩々が濡れた様子がとても幻想的でした。太鼓岩からの眺めも良かったです。当初予定では雲水峡は所要時間が短いのでゆっくり出発するつもりでしたが、早朝出発のほうがすいていて、苔むした感じの雰囲気が良いと思いました。
ガイドさんは説明板とかにも書いていない歴史的なことや、その後分かったこととかポイントを押さえて教えてくれ、混雑しない場所やタイミングで食事や休憩をとってくれてとてもよかったです。

On a day when the sea was rough and I was unsure what to do, I made a same-day reservation. The weather was nice, and what seemed like a boring day turned into a really fun day. The guide taught us a lot about Ishigaki Island, and it was incredibly enjoyable.

海が荒れていて何しようか迷った日に当日予約で行きました。天気も良く暇になりそうだった1日がすごい楽しい1日になりました。ガイドの方も石垣島の事をたくさん教えてくれてすごく楽しかったです。
