All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The weather was bad and it was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset. We spent a relaxing time along the mangrove habitat by the river and out to the sea while receiving explanations. The waves were rough, so we couldn't go out into the sea very much, but the staff were friendly, so overall, I would rate it as satisfying.

天気が悪く曇っていたのでサンセットは見れませんでした。川沿いのマングローブの生息地や海の手前まで出て、説明を受けながらのんびり過ごせました。波が荒く、海にもがっつり出れたわけではありませんでしたが、スタッフさんの人柄が良かったので全体的に満足、と言う評価です。

I was worried about my sister's stamina, but signing up for the tour was definitely the right choice. I am grateful that we were able to reach our destinations on both days at a precise pace.

On the first day, we had Tsubone as our guide. She frequently checked to make sure we weren't falling behind and gave us advice on what clothes to take off or put on during breaks. She also took many photos for us.

On the second day, we had Uranishi as our guide. He taught us a lot about the flowers and moss, and took beautiful photos using the panorama feature.

As individuals, we might have been too focused on just walking and could have missed some points, but he explained everything thoroughly. Having a guide made it much easier mentally.

I am truly grateful for the wonderful guides and the experience of Yakushima over the two days. Thank you very much!

私はともかく、姉の体力が心配でした。
ツアーに申し込んで大正解です。的確なペース配分で2日とも目的地にたどり着くことができ感謝してます。
1日目はツボネさんでした。こまめに後ろを振り返り遅れていないかの確認や、休憩のタイミングでどの服を脱ぎ着するかのアドバイス、また写真もたくさん撮ってくださりました。
2日目はウラニシさんでした。
花や苔の説明などたくさんのことを教えてくださいました。写真もパノラマ機能を使い素敵に撮ってくださいました。

個人では歩くことに必死になって、見落としてしまいそうなポイントもあますことなく説明していただきました。やはり、先導してくださる方がいると気持ち的にも楽でした。

2日間とも素敵なガイドさんと屋久島を堪能できて感謝しかありません。本当にありがとうございました。

I experienced snorkeling and marine sports, and both were incredibly fun!! The guides and staff were cheerful and friendly, making it a day full of wonderful memories!!!!

シュノーケリングとマリンスポーツの体験しましたが、どちらも最高に楽しかったです！！
ガイドさんやスタッフの方も明るく気さくでとても1日いい思い出を作ることが出来ました！！！！

The tour was fulfilling, including activities like landing on the island, visiting a limestone cave, and experiencing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Additionally, being able to have lunch at a recommended restaurant allowed me to enjoy Iriomote Island even more. Thank you for the wonderful photos as well. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

ツアーの内容が、島に上陸したり、鍾乳洞に行ったり、SUPを体験したりと、充実していました。また、オススメの店で昼食を食べられたことで、西表島をより満喫することができました。素晴らしい写真もたくさんありがとうございます。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

The tour content was great, and the instructor was very kind, making it the best sightseeing experience in Iriomote Island. It was also wonderful that they took photos during the tour and shared them right away. I would like to rely on them again when I come back here.

ツアー内容がよかったこと、また、インストラクターの方がとても親切で最高の西表島観光になりました。ツアー中の写真を撮影してもらえ、すぐに共有してもらえるのもとてもよかったです。またこちらに来た際にはお世話になりたいと思いました。

It was my first time participating, and I had a lot of fun all day! I enjoyed my first experience with SUP very much! I was able to take many photos, which added to my memories.

初めての参加でしたが1日とても楽しかったです！ SUP初体験でも十分楽しめましたー！写真もたくさん撮っていただけて思い出が増えました。

The day before, I received a call informing me that due to the tides, going to Barasu Island would be difficult, so I was grateful to be able to plan the afternoon in advance.

On the day itself, I was worried because rain was forecasted from the morning, but it didn't rain in the morning and we had a great time! To avoid congestion with the SUP, we changed our order and went to the cave first. It was much more exciting and adventurous than I had imagined for a cave tour, and I had a lot of fun! It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me carefully, and I quickly started enjoying it! They took many photos during the tour, and I was happy to receive them on the same day!

In the afternoon, it poured heavily, so the tour was changed, which ended up being a relief.

前日に、潮の関係でバラス島は厳しいとお電話を頂いていたので、午後のプランを事前に練ることができ、有り難かったです。

当日は朝から雨予報で心配でしたが、午前中は雨も降らず楽しめました！
SUPが混雑しないように、とのことで順番変更して鍾乳洞から行きました。想像していた鍾乳洞ツアーよりも探検する気分でワクワクする内容で、とても楽しかったです！
SUPは初めでしたが丁寧に教えて頂いて、すぐ楽しくなりました！
ツアー途中の写真もたくさん撮って頂き、当日中にすぐもらえたのでよかったです！

午後は土砂降りだったのでツアー変更になって結局助かりました。

Note: Once you arrive at Yakushima, don't forget to contact them yourself! Also, you will need to prepare a cooperation fee. A guide will contact you in advance, so please make sure to be alert for their call!

- Day 1: Jomon Sugi
The return trip on the trolley path was a bit fast, but the pace otherwise was just right. There were some areas where I didn't receive explanations while other guides were explaining, but it wasn't a problem since I could ask questions and get answers. They were very attentive at the photo spots. Not all the guides are great at speaking, so it's good to keep that in mind.

- Day 2
A different guide from Day 1. I felt that Shiratani Unsuikyo was a version without the trolley path from the Jomon Sugi course. The guide taught us how to use the poles and walk, and the pace was slow, which allowed me to relax since I had muscle soreness from Day 1. I think this was because I communicated my condition in advance.

- Summary
The weather forecast predicted rain on Day 2, but we were blessed with good weather both days and had a great time! There are tours that cover both in one day, but I wouldn't recommend it in terms of time and physical stamina. I recommend spreading it over two days. It's a bit disappointing that the rented backpack was worn out.

注意:屋久島についたら自分で連絡を忘れずに！また、協力金などの用意も必要です。事前に案内してくださるガイドの方から連絡があるので、電話にすぐ気づけるようにしておいてください！
・1日目縄文杉へ
帰りのトロッコ道は少しペースが早かったですが、それ以外のペースは、ちょうどよかったです。
他のガイドさんが説明しているところで、説明してもらえなかったところがありましたが…質問したら答えてもらえたので、問題はありませんでした。
写真ポイントの箇所では丁寧に対応してくださいました
ガイドさん全員が話し上手というわけではないので、そこは理解しておいた方がいいかと思います。
・2日目
1日目とは違うガイドさん。白谷雲水峡は縄文杉コースのトロッコ道がなくなったバージョンだと感じました。
ポールの使い方や歩き方を教えてくださり、又ペースもゆっくりで、1日目で筋肉痛だった自分には安心して過ごすことができました。
事前に自分の状態を伝えておいたためだと思います。
・まとめ
天気予報では2日目が雨の予報でしたが、両方とも天気に恵まれ、楽しく過ごすことができました！
1日で両方巡るツアーもありますが、時間的、体力的にもお勧めはしません。二日に分けて巡る方をお勧めします。レンタルしたリュックがボロボロなのが少し残念

We absolutely loved river rafting on the kumagawa! It was a thrilling adventure, and we will definitely be returning in the summer for another rafting experience ☺️✨

The guide and his family were so welcoming, friendly and kind! They truly made us feel at home and made the whole experience one that we will remember forever. The photography and video footage of our trip was an additional bonus!

Very grateful to this company for a wonderful adventure - great value for money, friendly guiding and an unforgettable experience in Kyushu! ☺️✨✨

I was so happy to have such memorable photos taken! ✨ I want to challenge myself to try stand-up paddleboarding next time (＾_＾)❤️

すごく思い出に残る写真を撮って頂いて嬉しかったです✨！！！次回はサップにチャレンジしたいです（＾_＾）❤️

Seasir and veltra made my diving adventure the absolute perfect experience! Got to see some sea turtles and beautiful fish and coral up close and personal!! Such a perfect day, made amazing by the Seasir staff!

I wanted to try kayaking, so I signed up, but I was a bit anxious during the on-land paddling lesson since I don't have great athletic skills. However, once I actually started paddling, I began to understand the techniques and was able to enjoy it! The weather was fantastic, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset! The instructor's explanations and stories were great, and they even took photos for us. It was also fun to paddle together! It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Okinawa. Thank you!

カヤックをしてみたいと思って申し込みをしたものの、運動神経もあまり良くないので、陸上での漕ぎ方講習のときはちょっと不安でした。
でも、実際に漕ぎはじめるとコツも分かりだして、楽しく漕ぐことができました！
天気も凄く良くて、サンセットも綺麗に観ることができました！
インストラクターの方の説明やお話も良かったですし、写真も撮っていただけました。
二人で漕ぐってことも楽しかったです！
沖縄旅行の良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございます。

Had a great time out on the Seasir Lucky!
The crew were super friendly and accommodating.
Good snorkelling in beautiful waters.

Don't forget to take your seasickness medication. The boat ride out was a bit choppy and I was glad to have it.

Thanks for the good time, guys!

The weather was nice, and the instructor was very kind. They provided information about the ocean and took many wonderful photos at the best spots! Their enthusiasm for taking pictures made me forget my shyness! Just being here made the trip to Okinawa worthwhile! It was a fulfilling experience! I was able to spend time leisurely, something I can't feel in my daily life. Thank you very much.

天気も良く、インストラクターの人も心優しかったです。
海の情報を教えてくれたりベストスポットで撮影してくださったりたくさん素敵な写真を撮ってくれました！あちらから積極的に写真を撮ってくれるので恥ずかしさも吹っ飛びました！
もうここだけでも沖縄に来た甲斐があります！
充実度満点です！日常では感じられないゆったりと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。

This time, I went snorkeling on a trip to Okinawa with my friends. We quickly bonded with our guide, Matsucchan, as it was just the four of us. Thanks to the guide explaining the fish before we dove in, we were able to enjoy watching the fish while snorkeling. Although the weather wasn't very good this time, we were able to see whales on the boat ride there and saw sea turtles while snorkeling. In terms of satisfaction, I would say it's 100%! If I have the chance again, I would like to challenge myself with diving next time!

今回は、友達との沖縄旅行でシュノーケリングをしました。シュノーケリングは、私たち4人だけでガイドの松っちゃんともすぐ打ち解けることができました。ガイドさんは、潜る前に魚の説明をしてくれたおかげでシュノーケリングで楽しく魚を見ることができました。今回は、天気があまり良くなかったですが、行きの船でクジラを見ることができ、シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることができました。満足度で言うと100%です！
また機会があれば次は、ダイビングに挑戦したいです！

I was able to visit Yakushima, which I had always wanted to see, and it was amazing to finally walk to Jomon Sugi. I was a beginner at trekking, but thanks to the guide who walked at a good pace, I was able to go and return without any difficulty. There was an accident with someone from the same tour on the way back, but I felt reassured by the prompt response.

ずっと行ってみたいと思っていた屋久島に来れて、縄文杉まで歩きたいと思っていたのが実現して最高でした。
トレッキングは初心者だったのですが、ガイドさんがいいペースで歩いてくれたおかげで、無理なく行って帰れたと思います。
帰りに同じツアーの方にアクシデントがありましたが、適確に対応していただけて安心しました。

I was very satisfied with the perfect starry sky, which exceeded my expectations! The guide's explanations were also very detailed and easy to understand.

期待していた以上の満点の星空にとても満足しました！
ガイドさんの説明もとても詳しくわかりやすかったです。

We participated as a group of two women! There was one instructor for our group and another couple, which made the number of participants just right. It was great that even if we were a bit slow, we didn't cause too much trouble. While kayaking, the instructor explained the marine life of Okinawa, so it was not just about riding but also educational. We thoroughly enjoyed the nature of Okinawa and were very satisfied! I would love to do it again when I visit Okinawa! ♬

女子2人でで参加しました！
もう１組のカップルと２組にインストラクターさんが1人つきました。人数的にちょうど良かったので、私達がもたもたしてても、どうにか迷惑かけないくらいで出来たのが良かったです。
カヤックを乗りながら、沖縄の生物の説明をしてくれて、ただ乗るだけじゃなくて、勉強にもなりました。
沖縄の自然を満喫できて、とても大満足！また沖縄行ったらやりたいと思います♬

This time, I had a three-hour stay at Oishi Rinsan, which I was really looking forward to visiting the most! However, when the same group was having a photo session for over 10 minutes, it was quite troublesome for those of us waiting behind them. It was also disappointing that a group of 6 or 7 men was making a lot of noise while walking around, as I wanted to enjoy the tranquility. I couldn't help but wonder what they were there for.

Once again, this is a power spot and a place of worship. Let's be considerate of those around us and follow proper etiquette! The spirits are watching!

今回、大石林山が３時間の滞在時間となり、1番訪れたかったのでとても楽しみにしていました！
ただ同じ場所で10分以上も撮影大会されると、後ろで待っている人たちもいるので、とても困りました。他にも6〜7人の男性グループがずっと大声を出して騒ぎながらまわっていたのも静寂な中で回りたかっただけにとても残念でした！何しにきたのかなと思うくらいです。
今一度、パワースポットだろうとここは拝所です。周りへの思いやりを持ってマナーは守りましょう！！精霊たちがみてますよ！

I had high expectations because the guide mentioned having nearly 20 years of experience, but when I asked questions about Yakushima or the plants, they often didn't know the answers and mostly just read what was written on the signs. The walking pace was slow, which made me even more tired. I wished they would listen to the customers' needs and adjust the speed accordingly. I felt like I could have gone on my own without a guide.

The day before, when I went to Jomon Sugi with another tour company, the guide was knowledgeable and had an interesting way of speaking, which made me feel this way even more. However, Shiratani Unsuikyo was very nice, so I'm glad I went. The path is easy as well.

ガイドさんがガイド歴が20年近くあると言っていたので期待しましたが、なにか屋久島の事や植物について質問しても分からないと答える事が多く、ほとんど看板に書いてあることをさらっと読むだけでした。歩くペースも遅く余計に疲れました。もっとお客さんのニーズを聞いてスピード調整をして欲しかったです。これならガイドなしで自分一人で行けば良かったかなと感じました。

前日に他のツアー会社で縄文杉に行った時は、知識も豊富で話も面白い素晴らしいガイドさんだったので、余計そう感じてしまいました。
ですが白谷雲水峡はとても良かったので行って良かったです。道も簡単です。

Guide Taniyama made accurate judgments at key points, such as pacing and where to leave our luggage, which eased my anxiety about the long tour and allowed me to follow along with confidence. It was clear that the guide was very knowledgeable, and he answered all my questions in detail, which was very educational.

He also treated us to miso soup using the gas he brought for our lunch. What thoughtful consideration! It was so nice of him to carry something heavy just for us. I was truly moved to enjoy warm miso soup in the middle of the forest.

The plan to go from Taiko Rock to Yakusugi in one day was the perfect way for me to spend my remaining time meaningfully, especially since I wanted to relax on Yakushima. I am grateful that he willingly accepted to arrange such a plan, which is not easy to find. Thank you so much! ✨

ガイドの谷山さんが、ペース配分やここでは荷物を置いていく、など要所で的確な判断をしてくださり、長時間のツアーに不安でしたが安心してついていくことが出来ました。
とても勉強をされているのが分かるガイドさんで、何を聞いても答えてくださり、詳しいので勉強になりました。
またお昼ご飯に持参してくださったガスを使ってお味噌汁をご馳走してくださいました。なんという心配り！重いのにわざわざ持ってきてくださるお心遣いが嬉しいですよね。まさか森の中で温かいお味噌汁をいただけるなんて、感動でした。
１日で太鼓岩〜屋久杉までを行くプランは、屋久島でゆっくり過ごしたい私にとっては残りの時間を有意義に過ごすことが出来る最高のプランで、そういったプランがなかなかない中で、それを快く引き受けてくださることに感謝です。
本当にありがとうございます✨

Day 1
The trekking to Jomon Sugi was enriched by the tour experience. Among the various sightseeing spots, I was able to hear enjoyable stories and truly feel the nature around me. The weather was favorable from the morning, and I could see the mountains of Yakushima clearly. Since there were fewer tourists at this time, I didn't have to worry about the restrooms being crowded, and they were conveniently located for breaks, so it was not a problem. I did bring a portable toilet just in case.

Day 2
We started under a cloudy sky. By the time we reached Taiko Rock, the sun peeked through, and I was able to enjoy the scenery. There were several impressive landmarks along the way, making for a fun hike.

This was my first time in Yakushima. I participated as a solo female traveler, and it was a tour that I could fully enjoy even alone. I was able to ask the guide all the questions I wanted, and the time flew by.

１日目
縄文杉までのトレッキングは、ツアーだからこその内容が充実していました。観光名所のポイントがいくつもある中で、より楽しめる話が聞けたり、自然を肌で感じることができました♪
朝から天候に恵まれ、屋久島の山々もよく見えました。
この時期観光客も少なかったこともあり、心配していたトイレは混むこともなく、休憩とりながら、ちょうどいい場所にあったので問題なかったです。一応、簡易トイレは持っていってました。

2日目
曇り空の中スタート。太鼓岩に着く頃には晴れ間が見え、こちらも景色を満喫できました。見応えのある名所も所々あり、楽しいハイキングとなりました。

今回、初屋久島。女性一人参加しましたが、一人参加でも充分楽しめるツアーでした。ガイドさんに聞きたい話も聞けて、あっという間でした。

I have been to Okinawa Island several times, but I had never been to the northernmost point. Since I was alone, I thought it would be easier to use this bus tour rather than renting a car, and that turned out to be the right choice. However, everyone who participated in the tour mentioned that the last stop at the aquarium was unnecessary. Those who join this tour usually have no other options to visit the northernmost point and have been to Okinawa multiple times, so they have already visited the aquarium several times. Instead, I would have preferred to spend more time at Daichi Forest.

　何度か沖縄本島は行っているのですが、最北端はまだ一度も行っていないですし、１人でしたので、レンタカーを借りるよりは、こちらのバスツアーで行く方が楽と思い、利用しました。それ自体は、正解でしたが、参加されたみなさんが、みんな言っていたのは、最後の水族館はいらないという意見でした。このツアーに参加される方は、最北端へ行くツアーが他になく、沖縄には何度も行っている方なので、水族館はもう何度も行っているので、それなら、水族館は行かずに、大石林山の滞在時間をもっと増やしてほしかったです。

My wife and I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time. On the day of our visit, due to our circumstances, we made a last-minute request to adjust the itinerary to avoid getting too wet. Thanks to the wonderful resourcefulness of our guide, we were able to enjoy canoeing and a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and they specially changed our originally planned full-day tour to a half-day just for us. Despite being young, our guide was experienced and reliable, and he engaged in conversation with us, an elderly couple, making our half-day on Ishigaki Island extremely enjoyable.

家内と二人で初めて石垣島を訪ねました。当日はこちらの都合で，急遽，水にあまり濡れないような内容でお願いできないかとの無理な要望を出させていただきましたが，ガイドさんの素晴らしい機転で，川平湾にてカヌー・グラスボート等を楽しみ，元々の一日ツアーを我々のみ特別に半日に変更していただきました。ガイドさんはお若いのに経験豊富で頼りがいがあり，我々老夫婦とも会話を合わせてくださるなど素晴らしい好青年で，石垣島での半日を大変楽しく過ごさせていただきました。

I had booked a stargazing tour for the second day of my trip to Ishigaki Island from February 15th for two nights and three days, but the weather forecast predicted rain for that day. The weather on the day we arrived was a mix of sunny and cloudy. When I called to see if I could change the reservation a day in advance, they kindly agreed, and although there were some clouds, we were able to see a wonderful starry sky. It was the best experience, enjoying the stars with a blanket and warm tea, and each of us had a pair of binoculars to look at the stars. Next time, I would like to visit when the Southern Cross is visible.

2月15日から2泊3日の石垣島旅行で2日目に星空ツアーを予約しておいたのですが、天気予報では確実に雨。着いた当日は晴れたり、曇ったりの天気でした。1日前に変更出来るか電話をいれたところ、快く承諾してもらえ、雲はあったものの素敵な星空を見ることができました。ブランケットとあたたかいお茶に癒され1人1つの双眼鏡で見る星空は最高でした。次は、サザンクロスの見える頃に伺いたいと思います。

During my 5-night, 6-day trip, the weather wasn't great, and I didn't get to see much of the beautiful sea. However, there was a brief moment of sunshine when we landed on Baras Island, and at the very end, I was able to see a stunning sea. Also, the photos taken by our guide were very stylish and of excellent quality. I think it's the best tour because you can experience so much in one day. At the cave, I fell quite dramatically because it was muddy from the heavy rain the day before (laughs). I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty when participating in the tour.

5泊6日の旅行中、お天気に恵まれず、あまり綺麗な海を見ることが出来ていませんでしたが、バラス島の上陸の時だけ少し晴れ間が見え、最後の最後でとても綺麗な海が見れました。また、ガイドのお兄さんが撮ってくださった写真はとてもセンスがよく画質がすごく綺麗でした。1日で色々体験できるので最高のツアーだと思います。鍾乳洞では前日が大雨だったことにより、ぬかるんでいた為、盛大にすっ転びました（笑）ツアーに参加される際は汚れても良い服装がいいと思います。

It was a lot of fun to experience the true nature of Okinawa, accompanied by the interesting and attentive explanations from the staff. Everyone on the staff was kind and enjoyable to be around.

面白く、丁寧なスタッフさんの説明と共に沖縄本当の自然に触れることができてとても楽しい思い出になりました。スタッフさん方も皆さん優しくて楽しい方々でした。

The guide was very kind, and it turned out to be a fun tour. It was disappointing that we didn't see many animals, but I understand that it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it. I thought it might have been better to join a tour during a different season. My parents were looking forward to the constellations, so even though we changed the date on short notice due to the weather, they responded quickly, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky despite a few clouds.

ガイドをしていただいた方がとても親切で楽しいツアーになりました。
動物があまり見れなかったのは残念でしたが自然が相手なのでしょうがないと納得、やはり時期を選んだツアーに参加した方が良かったのかなと思いました
星座は親が楽しみにしていたので、天気をみて急遽日にちを変更しても、すばやく対応していただき少し雲があったけど綺麗な星空が見れました

The instructor who took care of us was cheerful and kind, making it enjoyable ^_^ The occasional puns were nice too, lol.

担当してくれたインストラクターさんが明るく優しくて楽しめました^_^
時々でるダジャレもよさげww

The explanations about constellations and star names were very detailed and enjoyable. I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit. Thank you very much.

星座や星の名前に関する解説が詳しくて大変楽しかったです。次に訪れた際にも必ず参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
