All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I was glad to learn about the names of rare butterflies and plants while canoeing through the mangroves. Thank you for taking photos at the waterfall and various locations as well. I would like to participate again.

　カヌーでマングローブの中を進む時、珍しいちょうの名前や、植物について教えていただけてよかったです。また、滝やさまざまな場所で写真も撮っていただきありがとうございました。
　また参加したいです。

This was my first time participating in an activity through Veltra. I decided to join because the reviews were originally good. There were many participants, but we split into teams and snorkeled at two points. A life jacket is mandatory and cannot be removed. It was also my first time with stand-up paddleboarding, but I had a great time! Thank you very much.

ベルトラからアクティビティの参加は初めてでした。口コミも元々良かったので参加を決めました。参加人数は多かったですがチームで別れてシュノーケル2ポイントしました。ライフジャケットは必須で外すのは出来ません。SUPも初めてでしたが、楽しく出来ました！ありがとうございました。

11:00 Meet at Shiragi Beach for 1 hour of snorkeling
After 12:00 End and disperse
15:30 Meet again (due to low tide)
17:00 End
It would be more customer-friendly to schedule from 14:00 to 17:00 to allow for other plans.

The total time from start to finish is 6 hours, but the actual usage time is only about 2.5 to 3 hours. I wasn't particularly expecting to see turtles, so it was fine if I didn't encounter any, but since we only swam in the bay at Shiragi Beach, there was no need for a tour; just renting snorkeling gear would suffice.

At the Blue Cave, you ride a boat, and the experience is much more impressive, with a longer duration that provides a sense of fulfillment, so it would have been better to use that for two days. The staff's response wasn't bad, but with a typhoon approaching, the waves were strong, and there was a risk of serious injury on the rocky areas, especially for women and children participating.

I understand that the tour company needs revenue due to COVID, but they are not ensuring safety and security, which is why I give this rating.

Additionally, while the Blue Cave provided prescription goggles for free, here they charged 2000 yen. There was no receipt given in cash, so it might have just gone into the staff's pockets... w

11:00 シラギビーチ集合1時間だけシュノーケル
12時すぎ　終了、解散
15:30 集合(干潮時間の為)
17:00 終了
14:00〜17:00での方が他の予定を組めて客に優しい

開始から終了時間までが6時間で実質的には利用時間は2:30から3時間
亀は別に期待して無かったので遭遇できなくてもよかったですがシラギビーチの湾内で泳ぐだけなのでシュノーケル道具をレンタルするだけでツアーにする必要はありません。
青の洞窟では船に乗るし、感動レベルも高く、時間も充実感を感じられるくらい長いのでそちらを2日利用した方が良かったです。
スタッフの対応は悪くは無かったですが台風が来ている中で波が強く、岩場で脚を切るなど(たいしたことはなかったが)女性、子供が参加する中で岩場の多い中で大怪我する危険性は大いにありました。
コロナの為売上が必要性でしょうがツアー会社として安心安全は出来ていない為、この評価とします。

追加、青の洞窟では度付きゴーグルはタダでしたがこちらでは2000円取られました。現金で領収書も出なかったのでスタッフの小遣いになっていたりして・・・w

Due to the weather, the schedule and itinerary were changed, but they kindly consulted with me, and I was able to participate for half a day. The guide's stories were enjoyable and filled with love for Shiretoko. Please take me to different seasons and the places I couldn't visit this time.

天候により日程＆行程が変更となったが親身に相談にのってくれて半日だけ参加出来ました。ガイドさんのお話は知床愛溢れる楽しいものでした。別の季節そして今回行けなかった場所へまたご案内下さいネ。

Since it was an experience at Hija River, which is close to Naha, I was worried about the location, but the atmosphere surrounded by mangroves was more than enough, and I was very satisfied. The female guide was also kind, and I could enjoy kayaking while chatting! I highly recommend it!

那覇から近場の比謝川での体験だったのでロケーションが心配でしたが、マングローブに囲まれた川で雰囲気も十分にありとても満足できました。ガイドの女性も親切で色々と話ながらカヤックを楽しめます！オススメです！

I participated with my middle school and high school children. I was worried because a typhoon was coming, but instead of canceling, we postponed and took on the challenge! I'm really glad we didn't give up and participated. The guide was truly entertaining! I couldn't stop feeling excited! We found various creatures one after another! My daughter and son, who were initially reluctant due to their rebellious phase, were surprisingly thrilled! We got to see a starry sky with the Milky Way, and my troubled heart cleared up; it was truly a wonderful night. It might have been the most fun I've had on Ishigaki Island. I apologize for the trouble when my son rushed to the restroom due to a stomachache, but everyone was so warm-hearted, and I can't express how grateful I am for that night. I want to go again!

私と中学生、高校生の子供と三人で参加しました。台風が来ていたので心配でしたが、キャンセルせずに日延べをしてチャレンジ！あきらめず参加してよかったです。本当にガイドさんが面白い！　とにかくワクワクが止まりません！　いろいろな生き物が次から次へと見つけるし出てくるし！　最初は気乗りしなかった反抗期の娘と息子はびっくりするぐらい大はしゃぎ！満点の星空に天の川が見れて、モヤモヤした心がすっきり晴れて本当に素敵な夜でした。石垣島で一番楽しかったかもです。途中で息子が腹痛でトイレに駆け込みご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さん心温かくて感謝しきれないくらいの夜でした。また行きたいです！

The world was so quiet that aside from the occasional sound of the paddle and the water, it felt as if all sounds were absorbed by the air. Sitting at the very front of the canoe gliding silently through the river, I was able to fully enjoy the nature of Kushiro.

Moreover, during the two-hour river tour, I encountered a white-tailed eagle, Ezo deer, and even a red-crowned crane that came out to the riverbank. The guide, who grew up in Kushiro, is a genius at spotting wildlife! He slowly turned the canoe and pointed out where the animals were. I had always wanted to try canoeing in Kushiro, and it turned out to be an experience beyond my imagination. I highly recommend it for nature lovers.

時折聞こえる櫂の音と水音以外は音が空気に吸い込まれているような静寂の世界。川の流れの中を音もなく進むカヌーの一番前に座って、釧路の自然を満喫できました。
その上、2時間程のリバーツーリング中に、オジロワシやエゾ鹿、
そして川縁に出てきた丹頂にまで出会えたんです。
釧路で育ったガイドさんは、生き物を見つける天才ですね!!
ゆっくりとカヌーの向きを変えて、生き物がどこにいるか教えてくださいました。釧路に行ったら是非、カヌーに乗ってみたいと思っていましたが、
想像以上に素晴らしい体験となりました。自然が好きな方にはお勧めです。

Our family's first trip to Iriomote Island. Considering the weather conditions after the typhoon, they suggested shifting our schedule by one day. We enjoyed a SUP experience in the mangroves and took commemorative photos at the waterfall. My 7-year-old son was excited and thoroughly enjoyed paddling while standing. The guide sent us the best shots individually in an album, which was touching!

During lunch, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm, but in the afternoon, we enjoyed snorkeling at Barasu Island under clear skies, taking in the beautiful scenery. With their thoughtful attention and friendly guided tour, the kids had a great time and we had a valuable experience. I will create a photo book with the pictures taken! Thank you very much!

家族で初めての西表島。台風通過後の気象状況を考慮してくださり、予定を１日ずらしては、との提案をしてくださいました。
マングローブをSUP体験しながら、滝での記念写真✨7歳息子も張り切りながら、立ち漕ぎを堪能していました。ガイドさんがベストショットを個別にアルバム送付してくださり、感激しました！！
昼食時には、スコール雷雨に見舞われましたが、
午後のバラス島シュノーケリングでは、晴天の下、美しい光景を満喫できました。
細やかな気くばりと、フレンドリーなガイドツアーで
子供達も楽しく、貴重な体験をさせていただきました
撮影していただいた写真で、フォトブックを作製します！ありがとうございました

When it comes to canoeing, I had the image of navigating through rapid waters, which made me anxious as someone with a fear of heights... However, it turned out to be a very beginner-friendly course and I had a great time!

It was a last-minute decision to join the canoe tour, but the dress code was casual and there was no need for any special equipment, making it easy to participate.

The course leisurely progressed through the center of Jozankei, and combined with the beautiful weather that day, the scenery was stunning! There were no intense rapids to worry about, and the course was gentle enough that we could enjoy the views while paddling back along the same route.

Canoeing can be quite challenging for beginners, so couples should be careful to avoid arguments (it seems that fights often break out, haha).

During the course, we also had time to get out of the canoe and play in the river, which would be great for kids to enjoy as long as time allows. The instructor was very nice. Thank you!

I wanted to include an activity in my trip, and choosing the canoe tour was definitely the right decision!!! I was able to enjoy both the scenery and exercise at the same time, and it was a wonderful experience. I think the views would be even more spectacular during the autumn foliage season, so I definitely want to aim for that time and participate again! ^ ^

カヌーと言えば、TVでよく見るような急流を進むイメージで、高所恐怖症な私は不安だったのですが……
実際はとっても初心者向けのコースで楽しかったです！

急遽決めたカヌーツアーだったのですが、服装も自由で持ち物も特に必要なく、気軽に参加できました。

定山渓の真ん中をのんびり進むコースで、当日の快晴も相まって、絶景でした！
気掛かりだった激しい流れなどなく、来た道（川）を戻っていくくらいの穏やかなコースで、景色を十分楽しむことができました。

初心者にはカヌーの操縦がなかなか難しいので、カップルや夫婦の方は喧嘩にならないように注意です。（よく喧嘩が勃発するみたいです笑）

コースの途中で、カヌーを降りて川で遊ぶ時間も作っていただいて、子供がいたら（時間の許す限り）満足するまで遊ばせてもらえます。
インストラクターの方がとっても良い方でした。
ありがとうございました！

旅行にアクティビティを入れたいなと思い、カヌーツアーを選択して大正解でした!!!
景色と運動を同時に楽しむことができて、とても良い時間でした。
紅葉の時期はさらに絶景だと思うので、是非その時期を狙って、また参加したいな〜と思います^ ^

I participated with my sixth-grade son. We received notice the day before that we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the waves, so we entered Iriomote Island with low spirits, but in the end, it was a tour that left both of us very satisfied with the active nature activities on Iriomote Island.

First, we explored the mangroves with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We enjoyed the journey while observing rare plants and creatures, taking our own routes, and occasionally, the tour guide would fall in with a splash, which added to the fun. Fortunately, I didn't fall in, but I was sweating while paddling.

Then, we entered the river and walked towards the waterfall. The water temperature was cool, and it felt really nice. I completely forgot that my sunscreen would wash off as I got drenched under the waterfall, haha. Since Barasu Island was canceled, we were originally supposed to stop here, but we decided to join the canyoneering in the afternoon, which was arranged on short notice. We swam, slid, jumped into the river, and did some rock climbing. My son was overjoyed, saying this was the most fun part of the trip.

Although rain was forecasted for the day, we were blessed with good weather throughout, and we had a great time moving our bodies while fully enjoying the great outdoors. The guide was very friendly and lively, and he safely led us through the activities. He also took a lot of photos for us. Next time, I definitely want to participate with my husband and the whole family.

小六の息子と2人で参加しました。
波の影響でバラス島には行けないと前日連絡があり、
テンション低めで初の西表入りしましたが
結果、西表島のアクティブな自然遊びに親子共々大満足のツアーでした。
まずはSUPでマングローブ探検。
珍しい植物や生き物を眺めながら思い思いのルートでまわり、時々ツアーの方がドボンと落ちるなど楽しみながら進んでいきました。私は幸い？落ちなかったものの汗だくで漕ぎながら進みました。
そして途中から川に入って歩いて進み滝打ち。
水温も冷たく、すごく気持ちよかったです。
日焼け止めが取れることも忘れて滝に打たれまくりましたっ笑。
バラス島が中止になったので本来ここまでですが、
急遽ご案内いただいたキャニオリングに午後参加することに。川を泳いだり滑ったり飛び込んだり、ロッククライムしたり。これが息子的には1番この旅行で楽しかったと大喜びでした。
この日は雨予報でしたが終始お天気にも恵まれ、また大自然を満喫しながら心地よく身体を動かせとても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もとても気さくで楽しく盛り上げ、そして安全に導いてくださりました。お写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
次回は是非、旦那さん含め家族全員で参加したいです。

I was moved to encounter unique creatures like coconut crabs and habu snakes that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I was able to see several coconut crabs, and it felt like I wanted to see more. However, since they are not often seen on Ishigaki Island, I think it’s worth staying on Iriomote Island and participating in a night tour.

The beach I reached after passing through the jungle was even more impressive with the stars! I was very satisfied to see the Milky Way and shooting stars.

In addition to information about wildlife, plants, and stars, I learned a lot about delicious restaurants, which was very informative.

I would love to participate again!

ヤシガニやハブなど、西表島ならではの生物に出会えて感動しました。
ヤシガニは何個体も見れて、またーって感じでしたが、石垣島ではあまり見られないと言う事で、西表島に宿泊し、ナイトツアーに参加する価値ありだと思いました。

ジャングルを抜けた先のビーチで見た、星に更なる感動！
天の川、流れ星も見れて、大満足です。

生物、植物、星などに加え、ご飯の美味しいお店など幅広い情報を教えて頂き、とても勉強になりました。

また参加させて頂きたいなと思いました！

The guide provided detailed explanations from start to finish, which was great! Even when everyone started to get tired in the second half, the guide was considerate and revisited the points explained earlier. I think having a guide during the tracking was a good decision.

ガイドさんが最初から最後まで細かに説明して頂き、良かったです！
後半も参加した皆さんが疲れてきて際も、気配りして、行きで説明して頂いた箇所も、再度触れて、説明頂きました。　ガイドさん付きのトラッキングでよかったと思います

Thank you for allowing me to experience my first canoeing adventure. It seems we were the first to enter the Kushiro River during that time slot, with no other canoes ahead of us! It was quiet and overcast, and we encountered many animals. We saw at least 15 deer, as well as a red fox, hummingbirds, and a mink. It was just wonderful. Thank you! It became the best memory.

最高の初カヌーを体験させて頂きありがとうございました
その時間枠で、最初に釧路川へ入れたらしく、前を行くカヌー無し！、静かで、曇りで、どから動物に沢山会えたらしい。鹿さんだけで15頭はお会いし、他にキタキツネ、ハチドリ、ミンク、キタキツネと、もう最高でした。ありがとうございました！最高の思い出になりました。

On the day of the tour, there was a forecast for a typhoon, so I was worried about whether the ferry would run and if the tour would take place. However, it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, and I was able to enjoy the tour in clear weather! They also informed us in advance by phone about what to do in case the ferry didn't operate.

We visited the mangroves and the limestone cave, and it was exciting to explore in nature rather than on a path prepared for the tour!

Since the limestone cave has narrow and low passages, it's better to wear clothes that expose less skin!

We couldn't go to the Phantom Island, so I will try again next time! (If you can't go to Phantom Island, you will be properly refunded for that part!)

当日は台風の予報が出ていてフェリーが出るか、ツアーは開催されるか？など心配でしたが、無事に晴れ、ツアー中は快晴の中楽しむことができました！フェリーが出ない場合の対応も事前に電話でお知らせしてくれました。

マングローブと鍾乳洞に行きましたが、ツアー用に整備された道ではなく、自然の中を探検できたのが刺激的でした！

鍾乳洞は、狭くて低いところも通るので、肌の露出が少ない格好の方がよいです！

幻の島には行けなかったのでまた次回挑戦します！(幻の島に行けない場合はその分ちゃんと返金されます！)

I had touched a dolphin before, but I had never swum with one, so I signed up. Each person got to swim about 10 meters.

Considering safety, I guess this is about the right amount?

I didn't keep an exact eye on the clock, but out of the 50 minutes, there were 10 minutes for explanation, then we moved to the pool and split into two groups of 10 to start. After about 15 minutes of interaction, we switched to another dolphin for another 15 minutes. That's the general idea. It was engaging and ended in no time. We had a great time, and I think it was a wonderful experience for the kids.

The time each person got to interact felt like about 5 minutes in total, so as an adult, I couldn't help but think about the cost, and I felt it was a bit pricey.

Also, the waterproof case I bought for my phone quickly filled with water and was ruined. I wonder if I could have gotten it exchanged if I had said something? The staff seemed really busy and efficient, so it didn't feel like the right moment to speak up.

イルカに触ったことはあったけど、捕まって泳いだことがなく、申し込みました。
1人10mくらい泳がせてもらいました。

安全面を考えるとこのくらいなのかな？

ちゃんと時計を見たわけではないですが、50分のうち、説明10分、プールへ移動して10人を2グループに分けてスタート。15分くらい触れ合ったら、別のイルカにチェンジして、もう15分。くらいのイメージです。
飽きさせず、あっという間に終わりました。
楽しかったねー！と親子で盛り上がりました。こどもにはとてもいい経験だったと思います。
1人が触れ合える時間は、合計5分くらいの感覚ですので、大人はどうしてもお金のことも考えてしまい、値段は高いと思ってしまいました。

そこで購入した、携帯防水ケースがあっという間に浸水して、ダメでした。言ったら交換してもらえたのかな？すごい忙しそうにキビキビしてたので、声かける空気じゃなかったので。。

I participated with my mother in her 70s. I was worried about whether it would be okay without much stamina and if we would tip over, but those concerns were completely unnecessary. They provided us with free raincoats and Crocs, so our clothes didn't get wet.

Since it was a windy day, we mainly enjoyed the calm Chitose River. The shimmering green surface of the water and the transparent riverbed seen from the bottom of the kayak were truly beautiful.

With the guidance of a friendly and kind young man, we got to experience a bit of an exploratory feeling, and it was great to briefly venture out to Lake Shikotsu at the end and enjoy the atmosphere of the lake. My mother was also excitedly paddling away and was really happy, saying she had a lot of fun.

There were only two groups participating, so the water was not crowded, allowing us to take off our masks and breathe in the fresh air. Of course, masks and sanitization were in place inside the store before and after kayaking for infection prevention.

I couldn't use the free bathing ticket for Marukoma Onsen due to timing, so I'll save that for my next visit to Lake Shikotsu. I would love to try kayaking and diving again at Lake Shikotsu when there's no wind.

70代の母と参加しました。
体力なくても大丈夫か、ひっくり返ったりしないか、など心配していたことは全く無用でした。カッパ上下とクロックスを無料で貸し出して頂き、私服が濡れることもありませんでした。
風がある日だったので穏やかな千歳川をメインに楽しみました。グリーンに光る水面や、カヤックの船底から見る透き通った川底は本当に美しかったです。
気さくで優しいお兄さんの案内でちょっぴり探検気分を味わえたり、最後に少しだけ支笏湖にも出て湖の雰囲気も体験出来て良かったです。
母も張り切ってグイグイ漕いで、本当に楽しかったと喜んでいました。
参加時は2組だけで、水上は密ではないためマスクを外して美味しい空気をたくさん吸えました。カヤック前後の店内ではもちろんマスク、消毒で感染対策してありました。
丸駒温泉の無料入浴券が、時間が合わず使えなかったので次に支笏湖に来た時のお楽しみにします。風のない時の支笏湖でまたカヤックやダイビングをしてみたいです。

I participated with my girlfriend. It was more active than I imagined, and we had a lot of fun!! The tour guide, Junjun, was very polite but also entertaining, and he shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island. I would like to request Pipi again the next time I travel here.

彼女と2人で参加しました。
想像以上にアクティブで、とても楽しかったです！！
ツアーガイドのじゅんじゅんさんも
すごく丁寧だけど面白くて、色々と西表島の情報も教えていただきました。
また次に旅行に来た際はピピさんにお願いしたいです。

Due to the weather, we changed our course from snorkeling at Barasu Island without the cave to mangrove SUP and trekking at the Kura River. I'm glad we chose this course!

The water level was high, and Barasu Island was underwater, but the surrounding water was very clear, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling immensely. Miraculously, we were also able to see sea turtles up close, which was very satisfying!

SUP while viewing the mangroves up close was fantastic. Paddling through the narrow river while standing and sitting on the SUP felt like an attraction. It was my first time on a SUP, but I had no problems and enjoyed it. The waterfall we reached after trekking was also very beautiful and refreshing.

Overall, the schedule was relaxed, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos. I really appreciated that.

The instructors were also very friendly, and thanks to them, it turned out to be the best day on Iriomote Island! I'm looking forward to the photos they took! Thank you so much for an amazing day!!!

天候の関係で、前日に鍾乳洞なしのバラス島シュノーケリング→クーラ川のマングローブSUP&トレッキングのコースへ変更しました。
このコースにして良かったです！

水位が高く、バラス島は海の中でしたが周辺は水の透明度が高くシュノーケリングをとても楽しめました。そして、奇跡的にウミガメも近くで見ることができて大満足でした！

マングローブを近くで見ながらSUPも最高でした。狭い川をSUPで立ったり座ったりしながら進んで、なんだかアトラクションのようでした。初めてのSUPでしたが、問題なく楽しめました。トレッキングをして辿り着いた滝もとっても綺麗で心が洗われました。

全体的にゆとりのあるスケジュールを組んでくれているので、ゆっくり写真を撮ったりしながら楽しめました。ありがたかったです。

そして、インストラクターさん達もとても親しみやすく、お陰様で最高の西表島での1日になりました！！撮ってくださった写真も楽しみです！本当に本当に1日ありがとうございました！！！

Kuri-chan, our guide, took us to some hidden spots, and we quickly saw a lot of coconut crabs. We were also able to find fireflies and snakes. Additionally, we visited two spots with a stunning starry sky. There were hardly any people around, and even though it wasn't a new moon, the Milky Way was clearly visible, making the night sky absolutely beautiful! I want to come back during the new moon in May. Thank you very much!

ガイドのくりちゃんが穴場スポットを案内してくれて、ヤシガニはすぐに、たくさん出てきました。また、ホタルもヘビなんかも見つけることができました。さらに、満天の星空スポットを2ヶ所周ることができました。人が全然いないし、新月じゃないのに天の川がはっきり見えるほど綺麗な星空で最高でした！！今度は5月の新月の時期に来たいと思います。ありがとうございました！

In the morning, I did SUP at Kabira Bay. There were explanations about how to paddle as well as information about the sea and marine life, and I had a great time!

In the afternoon, I went snorkeling. It was completely different from the sea I usually visit, with vibrant corals and fish welcoming me! It was definitely an emotional experience!!

The guide was very talkative, and I was able to enjoy the entire time! Thank you very much!!

午前中は川平湾でSUPでした。SUPの漕ぎ方はもちろん、海や生物についての説明もあり、とても楽しめました！

午後からはシュノーケリングでした。普段よく行く海とは全くちがい、色鮮やかな珊瑚や魚が出迎えてくれました！感動すること間違いなし！！

ガイドの方もよく話す方で終始楽しむことができました！
ありがとうございました！！

Kenta and Chad's guided tour was incredibly fun. It was filled with thrills and adventures reminiscent of Adventure World! I had a great time with the impromptu team we formed, sharing laughter and helping each other out. I'm really glad I chose this tour. The phantom island... the limestone caves... kayaking... everything was a first-time experience, and I want to come back again tomorrow! To all the staff at pipi... thank you! See you again!

健太&チャドペアーガイド最高に楽しかったです。
アドベンチャーワールドさながらスリルと冒険の数々！！
いっしょに周った即席チームの皆さんで、笑い多汗をかき助けあいながらとっても良い時間を過ごせました。
このツアーを選んで本当に良かったです。
幻の島…
鍾乳洞…
カヤック…
すべて初体験でしたが、また明日来たいと思います！
pipiのスタッフの皆さん…
ありがとうございました！
また会いましょう！！

It was a little scary, but it was fun. Chad and Kenta explained a lot, and it was interesting. It felt like an adventure, and we made a few wrong turns, but it was great. They took a lot of photos, so I have many memories. I definitely want you to go!

少しこわかったけれど楽しかったです
チャドさんや健太さんがたくさん説明してくれて、面白かったです。冒険をしているみたいで、道を多少間違えていましたが良かったです。　
写真もたくさん撮ってくれたので思い出もたくさんあります
是非行ってもらいたいです

Due to heavy rain and rising water levels, the tour was modified to go as far as possible. We turned back after crossing the Satsuki Suspension Bridge from the Yayoi Cedar Course. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the Mononoke Forest, but I was disappointed that we couldn't reach the mossy forest. I'm glad the tour wasn't canceled and that we were able to experience even a little of the Shiratani Unsuikyo. Since we had some extra time, we were taken to Yakujin Shrine. We were then dropped off at Awa Port and took the afternoon high-speed boat back.

豪雨で増水のため、コースを変更して行けるところまでというツアーとなりました。
弥生杉コースからさつき吊橋を渡ったところまでで折り返し帰る事となりました。
もののけの森の雰囲気を味わいましたが、苔むす森まで行ければと残念でした。
ツアーが中止にならず少しでも白谷雲水峡にはいれただけでもよかったです。
時間も少し余ったので、もう一カ所案内できるとの事で、益救（やく）神社に連れて行ってもらいました。
安房港まで送ってもらい、昼便の高速船に乗り帰りました。

On August 4th, my family of four had a one-day snorkeling experience in the Kerama Islands. I don't remember the name of the staff member who assisted us, but a young man with brown hair kindly accompanied my 7-year-old daughter throughout the day and helped her with various things, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and snorkeling at a leisurely pace. My daughter is saying she wants to go to the sea with that big brother again. We were also able to see turtles several times, making it an amazing day. Thank you very much!

８月4日に、家族4人で慶良間諸島1日シュノーケリング体験をしました。担当してくれたスタッフの名前は覚えていないのてすが、茶髪の若い男性スタッフの方が、7歳の娘に1日付き添って優しく色々と手助けしてくれたお蔭で、1日ゆっくり綺麗な海とシュノーケルを満喫できました。娘も、また、あのお兄ちゃんと、一緒に海に行きたいと言っています。亀も何回か見る事ができ、最高な1日でした。本当にありがとうございました。

The experience diving happened to be on my son's birthday. The staff knew about it and made a birthday card with the photos as a gift. It was the best birthday ever. They took great pictures with the turtle, creating wonderful memories. I also got to meet my favorite Mbu pufferfish, which was truly fun. Next time I go to Okinawa, I will definitely sign up for this tour again.

体験ダイビングがちょうど息子の誕生日でした。スタッフさんがそれを知って写真をバースデーカードにしてプレゼントしてくれました。最高の誕生日でした。カメとの写真もバッチリ撮っていただき、素敵な思い出になりました。大好きなモンガラカワハギにも会えて本当に楽しかったです。次回沖縄に行くときは必ずこのツアーを申し込みます。

We were a bit flustered as we participated with my daughter who got injured just before departure, but everyone was very kind and it really helped us! The tour guide was friendly and laughed happily with my daughter, which made it a lot of fun for us too. The guidance was great, and I learned a lot of interesting things (＾v＾).

As for the tour content, it was an irresistible plan for someone like me who loves photography. Usually, I end up being the one taking photos, but this time we were able to capture some wonderful family pictures! Since it was a boat entry, we didn't have to walk up any stairs, and best of all, when we dove from the boat, there were so many fish! My daughter was so excited that she was shouting.

I'm really glad we participated. If we have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I would definitely love to join another tour! m(_ _)m

出発直前に怪我をした娘を連れての参加でバタバタしましたが、とても親切にして頂き助かりました！
ツアーガイドのお姉さんも気さくな方で、娘と一緒にケラケラと楽しそうに笑ってくれてこちらもとても楽しかったです。案内も良くて色々物知りになりました(＾v＾）
ツアーの内容ですが、写真好きの私にはたまらないプランでした。
普段だと写真係になってしまうことが多いのですが、今回はとても良い家族写真を残すことが出来ました！
ボートエントリーなので、階段を歩かなくても済みましたし、なんといってもボートからダイブしたらそこには沢山の魚！！娘が大興奮で叫んでいました。
本当に参加して良かったです。
沖縄に行くとこがあれば是非またよろしくお願いしますm(_ _)m

The trekking course at Oishi Forest Mountain was not too hard, allowing us to enjoy the feeling of being in nature as we walked. The weather was great, and listening to our guide's thorough explanations made for a perfect day.

During our lunch break, we visited "Yuiyui Kunigami," which had many local products on display, and the soba was delicious.

The Churaumi Aquarium had some areas closed due to the season, but since it was my first visit, I still enjoyed it.

This time, there were only a few participants, so our guide was able to flexibly adjust the schedule, for which I am truly grateful. Thank you for a wonderful day.

大石林山のトレッキングコースはハード過ぎず、自然の中にいる感覚を味わいながら歩くことができました。
天気も良く、ガイドさんの丁寧なご説明を聞きながら最高の1日でした。

昼休憩で訪れた「ゆいゆい国頭」は土地ならではの商品が沢山並んでいて、ソバも美味しかったです。

美ら海水族館は、時期的に閉館になっている所もありましたが、初めて訪れたので楽しめました。

今回は参加者が少人数だったため、ガイドさんが臨機応変にタイムスケジュールを変更して下さったりと、本当に感謝です。
素敵な一日を有難うございました。

Only Yakushima Tour Operations can take you to the trailhead without using a bus, and it was great not having to wait for a bus on the way back.

屋久島ツアーオペレーションズのみが
バスを使わず登山口まで行けて帰りもバスを待つこともなく大変良かった

Kayaking is a fun activity for families.
Trekking involves rocky areas, so a physical fitness level equivalent to at least a fourth grader is necessary to climb independently. If below that level, assistance from parents will be needed.
Since you'll be swimming in the waterfall pool, please participate in swimwear.

カヤックは家族連れで楽しく遊べます。
トレッキングは岩場が有り、自力で登るのに小学４年生程度以上の体力が必要でしょう。それ以下の場合は親の助けが必要です。
滝つぼで泳ぎますので、水泳の衣服で参加してください。

On July 29, 2020, my daughter, who was supposed to come from Tokyo, had to cancel due to COVID-19 restrictions, so I traveled alone from the countryside. When I landed at Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, several guides were there to greet us, and I immediately recognized the one holding the "PIPI" sign. After taking a wagon to the estuary, we received a briefing and started the experience. The equipment included a lightweight life jacket and thick-soled marine shoes.

Paddling while admiring the mangroves and trekking to swim in the waterfall was a sensation that you can't experience on TV or YouTube.

Our guide, Chad (Komatsu), allowed us to discover the unique creatures and plants of Iriomote at every turn. Chad is a young man with a dark complexion, a striking face, and a refreshing vibe. I was impressed by his professionalism, ensuring we had fun without feeling pressured! I definitely want to participate again next time with my children. This time, there were three pairs with us, but even as a solo participant, I thoroughly enjoyed the great outdoors.

Also, it seems that being prepared to get wet will enhance the enjoyment of this tour. A sense of happiness awaits as you float while soaking in the negative ions at the final waterfall.

Due to space constraints, I omitted some details, but I also had a fantastic time snorkeling at Barasu Island. I even saw a sea turtle! Practicing snorkeling at the beach the day before was somewhat helpful.

東京から来る筈だった娘がコロナ自粛となり、地方からの1人旅。
西表島の上原港に上陸すると、ガイドさんが何人も出迎えていますが、「PIPI」の看板を持っていてすぐ分かります。ワゴンに乗って河口に着くと、講習を受けて体験スタート。装備は、軽量のライフジャケットと厚底のマリンシューズ。
マングローブを眺めながらパドルを漕いだり、トレッキングして滝つぼで泳ぐ体験は、TVやYouTubeでは味わえない快感です。

ガイドのチャドさん（小松さん）は、西表ならでは生き物や植物の発見を至る所で体験させてくれました。
チャドさんは、色黒・濃い顔・爽やか系の好青年。無理させず、安心して楽しませてくれるプロ意識に感心！これなら次回、子どもと参加したいと思えます。今回はペア3組と一緒でしたが、1人参加でも大自然の前では関係なく満喫できました。

それとこのツアー、濡れる覚悟で参加した方が楽しめそう。最後の滝つぼでマイナスイオン浴びながら浮かぶ幸せが待っているから。

文字数の都合で割愛しましたが、バラス島のシュノーケリングもすごく楽しめました。海ガメも見れたし。前日にビーチでシュノーケル練習したのが、少しは役立ちました。
