All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The sky was clear, and I could see the stars beautifully. Since we went out to the ocean, the stars were very vivid. I was able to listen to the sanshin and had a wonderful time. The shuttle service to the hotel was also convenient, which was great.

空が晴れていて、しっかり星が観れました。
沖まで出たので、星もクッキリでした。
三線も聞けて、素敵なひとときを過ごせました。
ホテルへの送迎も楽ちんで、良かったです。

My first dive was in the Kerama Islands! I’ve never felt this way before, dreaming about the next dive as soon as the current one ended. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get to see any turtles. The staff's prompt and efficient service was also very pleasant to witness. I believe that contributed significantly to my desire to go back again.

初めてのダイブが慶良間諸島！
終わったとたん次のダイブを夢みるなんて今までになかったことです。かめを見れなかったことが心残りでした。スタッフの対応もテキパキとみていて気持ちいいものでした。多分にそれがまた行きたい気持ちを更に大きく作ってくれたのだと思います。

I was picked up by an open bus to the island terminal.
At the Starry Sky Farm, there were deck chairs, binoculars, blankets, and warm tea prepared for us.
Even if you don't have knowledge about stars, the guide provided detailed explanations using a pointer, which was great.
There were many solo female travelers, so I encourage anyone traveling alone to participate without hesitation! ^_^

離島ターミナルまでオープンバスで迎えに来てもらいました。
星空ファームではデッキチェア、双眼鏡、ブランケット、温かいお茶が用意されていました。
星の知識がなくてもガイドさんがポインターを使い丁寧な説明がありましたので、良かったです。
女性一人旅の方も多かったので、是非一人旅の方も躊躇せず参加してみて下さい^_^

On the day of the trip, the weather was a bit bad, and since there were waves at the first beach, we went to a second location to go snorkeling. We quickly encountered a turtle, which swam right beside us for a while. There were also many fish, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I highly recommend it.

当日は、少し天候が悪く、最初のビーチは波があったので2か所目の場所に行きシュノーケリングしました。すぐに亀と遭遇して、ずっとそばで泳いでいました。魚もたくさんいて、ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくて、とてもおすすめです。

I felt reassured participating in the tour as the staff was energetic, friendly, and very experienced in dealing with tourists. During the snorkeling, I was able to see various types of fish up close, which was great. Next time, I would like to try not only snorkeling but also diving in the ocean. While kayaking, I enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa while chatting with the guide.

元気もノリもよく、観光客に対する対応もとても手慣れている様子で安心してツアーに参加できました。
シュノーケリングでは様々な種類の魚を間近で見ることができてのよかったです。次はシュノーケルだけでなく、海の中を潜る体験をしてみたいです。
カヤックはガイドさんとお話ししながら沖縄のきれいな海を楽しむことができました。

I joined the tour as a solo traveler. January and February are completely off-season, so there were very few people, which was great. Perhaps due to the mild winter, I was able to enjoy it without being hindered by snow!

The Jomon Sugi tour was guided by a guide named Kyoku, and there were just three of us, including another female university student, making for a very enjoyable trekking experience. The explanations were very detailed, and I learned a lot about Yakushima and Jomon Sugi. The guide was always attentive to our pace and would warn us in advance about slippery areas, which provided an overwhelming sense of security!♡ I heard that during the summer season, there are long lines at Wilson's stump, but since there were no crowds, I was happy to be able to try taking pictures multiple times until I got the ones I liked.

On the second day, we went to Shiratani Unsuikyo. The guide was the oldest in Yakushima, but he moved lightly and initially planned to take us only to the mossy forest, yet he ended up taking us all the way to Taiko Rock. He has been guiding for 30 years and mentioned that the early morning is the best time for Shiratani Unsuikyo. We reached Taiko Rock before anyone else and enjoyed the view. By the time we started descending, fog rolled in, and I thought to myself how impressive it was to have such an experienced guide.

While Jomon Sugi is a must-see, in terms of simply beautiful scenery, Shiratani Unsuikyo was incredibly stunning as well. It became the best memory of Yakushima. Thank you very much!

女1人で参加したのでツアーに申し込みました。1月2月は完全にオフシーズンで、人も少なくて非常に良かったです。暖冬の影響からか雪で足場を取られることもなく楽しめました！

縄文杉ツアーは局さんというガイドさんで、もう1人大学四年生の女の子と一緒で合計3人で非常に楽しいトレッキングでした。解説が非常にきめ細やかだったのと、屋久島に関して、縄文杉に関しての情報を色々と教えて下さりました。またペース配分が問題ないか常に気にかけてくださったり、滑りやすそうなところでは事前に注意を呼びかけたりしてくださって圧倒的安心感がございました！！♡ウィルソン株等は夏のシーズンは長蛇の列ができるみたいですが、人がいなかったので何回も何回も気にいる写真が撮れるまでトライできたのも嬉しかったです。

2日目は白谷雲水峡に行きました。屋久島のガイドさんで最高齢というガイドさんでしたが、足取りは軽く、当初は苔むすの森までだったはずが、太鼓岩まで連れてっていって下さりました。既にガイドを30年やられているということで、白谷雲水峡は朝一が一番良いと言われ、誰よりも早く太鼓岩に到達し眺めを堪能できました。下山する頃になると、霧が出てきてさすがベテランガイドさんだなと思いました。


縄文杉も外せないですが、単純な綺麗な景色！という意味では白谷雲水峡もとてつもなく綺麗でした。。最高の屋久島の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！！

I wasn't confident in driving... but I wanted to go to the northern part! So I signed up for this tour. As a result, I truly feel that choosing this tour was a great decision, and I made wonderful memories.

I participated alone, but while listening to Okinawan music and the guide's announcements on the bus, we headed to our destination. Once there, I was able to explore freely within the designated time and interact with other participants at a comfortable distance.

The time allocation at each sightseeing spot and the travel time felt just right. I am grateful to the driver who safely took us around and to the guide who entertained us with a lovely smile and thoughtful attention.

I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa. Thank you very much.

運転に自信がない…でも北部に行きたい！と思い こちらを申し込みました。
結果、このツアーを選んで良かったと心から思える素敵な思い出が出来ました。
ひとり参加でしたが、車内では沖縄の音楽やガイドアナウンスを聴きながら目的地まで向かい、現地では決められた時間内で自由に散策をし、程よい距離感で他の参加者の方達とも関わりが持てました。
各観光地の時間配分、乗車時間等のプランもちょうど良く感じました。
安全運転で各地を巡ってくれた運転手さん、素敵な笑顔と丁寧な気配りで楽しませてくださったガイドさんに感謝しています。
また沖縄に来る際には利用させて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

It was a tour in the afternoon of February. We had no problem snorkeling while wearing wetsuits.

First, we saw a sea turtle. After watching it for a while, we were able to swim together. Next, we saw clownfish, followed by corals and other fish. Whether you want to see turtles or corals, both are accessible. Even those who are not confident in swimming can hold on and be fine. It's suitable for older participants like us as well. Those with swimming skills can also enjoy it.

Kugai, the handsome and kind tour guide, was excellent.

２月の午後のツアーでした。ウエットスーツを着て参加で問題なくシュノーケルできます。
まず、ウミガメさん居ました。しばらく見て上がってきたので一緒に泳げました。次はクマノミ、次にサンゴとお魚。カメさんを見たい人も、サンゴを見たい人もどちらも行けます。泳ぎに自信がない人も、つかまって泳げるので大丈夫です。私たちのような熟年者も大丈夫です。泳力のある方も楽しめます。
クガイさん、イケメン、優しいツアー引率最高です。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I wanted to visit Iriomote Island, so I decided to participate in this tour. On the day of the tour, the ferry we were supposed to take was canceled, but I was relieved that they contacted us in advance with alternative options! The weather was cloudy and not great, but the tour was very enjoyable! Since there were fewer other tour guests due to the season, it was quiet and relaxing while we were kayaking. The trekking was just the right amount of time, and the warm lunch with a view of the waterfall, along with the miso soup, was delicious. They also took photos for us, allowing us to focus on kayaking and trekking without any pressure. The explanations about the unusual plants we saw were interesting as well. Since you might get wet or dirty unexpectedly, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting muddy.

初めての石垣島旅行で、西表島にも行ってみたいと思い今回参加させて頂きました。当日は乗る予定のフェリーが欠航してしまいましたが別の行き方を事前に連絡頂けたので安心でした！お天気は曇りでいまいちでしたが、ツアーはとても楽しかったです！時期的に他のツアー客も少なく、カヌーを漕いでいるときは静かでゆったりとした時間で気持ちよかったです。トレッキングもほどよい時間で、滝を見ながらのあたたかいお弁当とお味噌汁とってもおいしかったです。写真も撮って頂けるので、無理せずカヌー＆トレッキングに集中できました。見たことのない珍しい植物の説明も面白かったです。意外と濡れたり汚れたりするので泥などがついても気にならない格好がおすすめです。

I had a really fun experience! The guide was a professional who kept us entertained. I was worried about the weather, but we were able to enjoy great views and have fun. They took a lot of photos for us and shared them quickly, which made it easy and enjoyable. I definitely want to do it again!

すごく楽しい体験ができました！ガイドさんも楽しませてくれるプロでした。天気が心配でしたが十分いい景色を見られて楽しく遊べました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、さくっと共有してもらって、気軽に、楽しめて良かったです。またやりたいなぁと思います。

Togawa-san and his wife are very eager to make sure you have a nice experience

Great trip. Welcome to join this trip. Nice travel.

Great trip. Welcome to join this trip.
Nice travel

Such a wonderful time. Definitely should be at the top of the list if you're going to do anything here in Japan. Everything is pretty much set up great. All the information is there on the website as to what you need to bring and such. Communication was amazing too, if you're afraid of not understanding anything, the staff was polite and helped in every possible way.

I was impressed by the clarity of the ocean. I obtained my diving license 23 years ago, but since my last entry was 15 years ago, I was worried, so I signed up for an introductory dive. I was able to do well on my first attempt, so I was allowed to do two additional dives, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa that I had always admired.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that there are also programs for divers who are challenging themselves after a long time.

Although my diving skills were not great, I am grateful for the careful guidance and support from the instructor who accompanied me. Thank you, Ito-san.

　海の透明度に感激しました。ライセンスを取って23年ですが最後のエントリーが15年前で心配だったので体験ダイビングで申し込みました。1回目うまく出来たのでその後2回の追加ダイブさせてもらい憧れだった沖縄の海を堪能できました。
　スタッフの方に聞くと久々挑戦のダイバー用の企画もあるとのことでした。
　下手くそなダイブでしたがお付き合いいただいたインストラクターの方の丁寧なご指導とガイドにに感謝しております。伊藤さんありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but the instructor explained things clearly and made the experience enjoyable with some humor.

残念ながら夕日は見ることができませんでしたが、インストラクターの方が分かりやすく説明をして下さり、笑いも交えたお話をしながらゆったりと楽しめる事が出来ました。

The stargazing and night safari tour was a nature-based experience, so it's understandable, but during the tour, we saw plenty of hermit crabs. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and we couldn't see the starry sky at the observation deck, which was disappointing. Next time, I want to see a sky full of stars on a clear day.

星空観賞とナイトサファリのツアーということで、自然相手のツアーなので仕方ないですが、ツアー中、ヤドカリはたくさん見れましたが、天気が曇で星空が展望台で全く見れなかったのが残念です。次は晴れた日に満天の星空を見たい。

On the day of the trip, I received a notification that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, and I considered canceling. However, since we had already made it partway, we decided to go snorkeling instead.

I was surprised by the vibrant colors and the number of fish, which exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

Next time, I look forward to planning another trip to Okinawa and hopefully visiting the Blue Cave.

当日、青の洞窟へは波が高くて行けれないという連絡をいただき、キャンセルすることも考えましたが、途中まで行っていた事もあり、シュノーケリング をすることにしました。
想像以上の色とりどりの魚とその数にびっくりしました。案内の方も本当に親切で、楽しい時間となりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は青の洞窟へ行けることを楽しみにまた沖縄旅行を計画したいと思います。

We experienced this as a family of four, including young children. It was their first time, but the instructor explained everything clearly. The kids quickly got used to it and were able to enjoy the natural surroundings of the river! In February, it was quite windy, but a mountain parka was sufficient. When the sun came out, it was warm (or hot?).

I came in regular clothes, but they kindly lent me a raincoat, which was a great help. They are very kind and attentive, so I recommend this for beginners as well. I would like to come back again.

低学年含む家族4人で体験しました。もちろん子供たちは初めてでしたが、インスタラクターの方が分かりやすく説明して下さいました。子供たちもすぐに慣れて、川の自然を満喫しながら楽しむことができました！2月、風が強かったですが、マウンテンパーカーがあれば十分です。日が差すと暖かい(暑い？)です。
普段着で来てしまいましたが、カッパ(下)を貸して下さったので助かりました。親切、丁寧に対応して下さいますので、初心者の方にもオススメです。また来たいと思います。

I had never seen the Milky Way, so I signed up, but the city lights were incredibly bright, like in a big city, so I didn't think I would be able to see many stars. Even in complete darkness, it's hard to see, and with the city being this bright, I wondered if it would be visible at all. It was originally cloudy, so I should have canceled.

天の川を見たことなかったので申し込みましたけど街の明かりが都会並みにすごく明るかったので星はそれほど見えるとは思えなかった。真っ暗でもなかなか見えないのにこんなに街が明るくて見えるのか。もともと曇ってて見えなかったのでキャンセルしたらよかった。

I participated in February, but the open-top bus was quite cold. I was glad I wore a down jacket. The explanation of the constellations with the laser pointer was very easy to understand.

2月に参加したのですが、オープントップバスがかなり寒かったです。
ダウンジャケットを着ていてちょうど良かったです。
レーザーポインターでの星座の解説はとても分かりやすかったです。

I saw Oishi Forest Mountain on TV, so it was a great help for me since I don't have a driver's license! If I had to say anything, I wish I could have stayed at Oishi Forest Mountain a little longer! I rushed to see the yellow course and the banyan tree, but it was just in time.

I was also satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium, as I felt like I didn't have enough time! Since it's this time of year, I was a bit intimidated by the presence of Chinese tourists... but everyone is looking forward to it, right?

When I talked to my local friends, they said that this price for the content is incredibly cheap! I think so too. Thank you to the driver and the guide for the long time spent together! 😊

テレビで大石林山をしていたので免許がない私はとても助かりました！
しいて言うなら大石林山にもう少し長く居たいくらいです！私は黄色コース＋ガジュマルだけ見たくてダッシュしましたが、ギリギリでした。
ちゅら海水族館も私は時間が足りないくらいだったので満足です！
あとはこの時期なので中国人の方が居て怯んでしまいましたが。。みなさん楽しみにされていますもんね。
現地のお友達に話すとこの価格はこの内容ですごい安い！とのことでした。私もそう思います。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、長い時間ありがとうございました(^^)

You can receive a call before departure. If there are clouds and it seems like the stars won't be visible, same-day cancellations are possible. In the end, I felt uneasy about the thickness of the clouds and requested to change the date, but they kindly accepted my request. For those who definitely want to see the stars, you can apply without hesitation and feel assured. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the Southern Cross, but walking in the pitch dark nature, relying on a flashlight, is an experience that you can't easily have alone. I participated with a focus on the stars, but I also enjoyed the wildlife, and I highly recommend it.

出発前にお電話をいただけます。雲が出ていて星が見えなそうであれば、当日取消も可能ということでした。結局、雲の厚さに不安を感じ、日にちの変更をお願いしましたが、快く受けていただけました。星を必ず見たいと思っている方は、躊躇なく申し込んでも安心です。残念ながら、南十字星は見られませんでしたが、一人では絶対いけない、真っ暗な自然の中を、懐中電灯を頼りに歩くのは、なかなかできない体験だと思います。星重視で参加しましたが、野生も楽しめておすすめです。

Amazing experience!! The dolphins were so sweet and friendly. The staff and trainers were very professional and kind. We loved every second and wished it went on for longer!

Changing room and shower facilities are available on-site which is very convenient and clean. They also have lockers to store your belongings (100yen coin required as deposit). The activity started with a classroom briefing then followed by the dolphin experience. We were introduced to and played with two dolphins. We were able to touch their back, sides, belly and nose. They were super friendly and cute. The trainers were very patient and gave clear instructions.

They have an on-site photographer who took around 5 pictures for us. At the end of the event, you can purchase them at 1800 yen each, which we felt was experience but we bought three anyway. They didn’t give discount for buying more, which some other places do. I would recommend you bring an action cam to film the experience. We only had a hand held cam and phone so it was difficult to catch all the moments.

Overall, big thumbs up.

I was grateful that I could apply even the day before! On the day, there was hardly any wind, and it was sunny with no waves. Also, since I was the only participant during that time, I was able to receive a lot of explanations about the plants in a one-on-one setting! I was able to spend a very relaxing time leisurely. I also want to check out the recommended restaurants nearby that were suggested to me!

前日でも申し込みが可能で助かりました！
当日は風もほとんどなく晴れており波もなし。また参加した時間帯は私だけの参加でもあって、マンツーマンで植物の解説などをたくさん頂くことができました！
とてもゆったりとした時間をのんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。また合わせて教えて頂いたお店近辺のオススメ飲食店も立ち寄ってみたいと思います！

I was worried because my daughter lacked confidence in swimming, but the instructor took her with a float, so we were able to enjoy ourselves as a parent and child without any worries. The cave was beautiful, but I was also very impressed by the stunning underwater scenery on the way there. I was concerned it would be cold in the sea during mid-winter, but it was not a problem at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable and not crowded! I think it's better to bring your own bath towel.

娘が泳ぎに自信がなくて心配しましたが、インストラクターさんが浮き輪で連れていってくれるので、安心して親子で楽しむことができました。
洞窟も綺麗ですが、行くまでの海中もとても綺麗で感動しました。
真冬の海で寒いのではと心配しましたが、全く問題なく逆に空いていて快適でした！
バスタオルは持参した方が、良いと思います。

I couldn't see anything in the reviews! However, I participated in various tours in Hokkaido, so I understand that the chances of encountering wildlife are low. Still, the experience of walking through the jungle on Iriomote Island was indeed difficult without a guide, but I was able to catch glimpses of various ecosystems. I was able to see the starry sky during the tour, so I recommend participating during the new moon.

レビューで何も見れなかった！等ありますが、北海道等で様々なツアーに参加致しましたので、野性動物等に巡り会える可能性が低いのは承知の上で参加しております。
それでも西表島のジャングルの中を歩く体験は、やはりガイドさん無しでは難しく、様々な生態系を垣間見ることが出来ました。
星空はツアー途中で見ることができましたので、新月の時の参加をオススメします。

We were picked up at the hotel and arrived at the stargazing spot in the dark. It was a cloudy day during the rainy season, but we were able to observe Orion and surrounding stars through the gaps in the clouds. The guide shared the names of the stars and stories from Greek mythology. After that, we moved to the starting point of the night jungle tour, progressing along a narrow path overgrown with vegetation that is rarely seen in the mainland. While searching for wildlife and insects, we only managed to find a hermit crab, a spider, a gecko, and a sand crab, as it was winter. The knowledgeable guide provided information about the names and characteristics of the plants we encountered, and we could also ask about different plants and phenomena that can be seen in other seasons, making me want to visit again in a different season. The day's temperatures were a high of 18°C and a low of 13°C, but it was cold with the north wind when we went out to sea. However, in the jungle, walking around made it feel just right even with a light jacket. They provided us with rubber boots, so we felt secure walking through puddles in the jungle and along the beach.

ホテルまでお迎えに来て頂き、
暗闇の中星空の観測地点に到着。
この時期は雨季に当たるそうで当日は晴れ間も見えた曇りの日でしたが、
雲間からオリオン座と周辺の星を観測することができ、ガイドさんが星の名前やギリシャ神話を教えて下さりました。
その後はナイトジャングルツアーの出発地点まで移動、
「内地」ではなかなか目にすることの無い草木の茂った細道を進みます。
野生動物や昆虫を探しながら進みますが、さすがに冬の時期で発見できたのは「ヤドカリ」「蜘蛛」「ヤモリ」「スナガニ」、あとは潮だまりの魚たちだけでした。
博識なガイドさんがその場その場で植物の名前や知識を教えて下さることはもちろん、違う季節に見られる動植物や現象についても伺うことができ、また是非違う季節にも訪れたいと思いました。
服装としては最高気温18℃、最低気温13℃の一日でしたが海に出ると北風が冷たく寒かったですが、ジャングルの中では歩いていることもあり羽織があっても丁度よく感じる程度で、足元は長靴をお貸し頂けるのでジャングルないの水溜まりや海辺も安心でした。

The guide was very polite and provided detailed explanations about plants and constellations. It was a shame that we could see the hermit crab, but not the coconut crab or wild birds.

丁寧なガイドさんでした、植物や星座の事を詳しく説明頂きました。
ヤドカリが見られましたが、ヤシガニや野鳥などが見られなかったのは、残念でした。

I was excited to find creatures in the jungle at night, and I was moved by the starry sky peeking through the clouds on the beach at night. It was a valuable experience, even though the north wind was cold.

夜のジャングルで生き物を見つけてはしゃぎ、夜の浜辺に出て雲間の星空に感動し、北風が寒かったけど貴重な体験でした。

In January on Ishigaki Island, I was worried about the weather. However, whether it was due to good fortune or because one of the tour participants was a sunny person, I was able to enjoy the best starry sky. The stars viewed from a completely dark place without any streetlights were just like a planetarium. Before seeing the stars, I encountered a coconut crab, frogs, and a hermit crab, and on the way back, I saw an owl perched on a power line. The guide was also very good at storytelling, and I had a wonderful time.

1月の石垣島なので天候が心配でした。
が、日頃の行いが良いのか、ツアー参加者の中に晴れ〇〇〇さんがいたのか
わかりませんが、最高の星空を眺めることができました。
街灯などの灯りがまったくない真っ暗なところで見る星空はプラネタリウム
そのものでした。
星空を見る前に、ヤシガニやカエル、ヤドカリなどにも出会え、帰り道では
電線にフクロウがとまっているのが見えました。
ガイドさんもお話しが上手な方で、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
