It was a two-day optional tour on Yakushima for the first time, and I had a great time. The guide provided detailed explanations and kindly handled the sudden typhoon, for which I am very grateful. They also took many photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would like to request their services once more.

始めての屋久島で2日間のオプショナルツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです☺️
ガイドさんには、詳しく案内をして頂き、急な台風にも親切に対応して頂き、感謝しております。写真も沢山撮って頂き、一生の想い出になりました。また屋久島に行くことがあればお願いしたいです✨

I truly enjoyed the unique experiences that the tour offered over the two days, and I'm really glad I participated. While I think both places could be visited individually, the connections and encounters with others made it a wonderful experience that only a tour can provide.

Day 1: Jomon Sugi
With six tour members and our guide, it was not just about explanations; they also helped us bond as a group. The sense of unity and everyone's smiles at the finish line are unforgettable! I was delighted to have warm miso soup during lunch.

Day 2: Shiratani Unsuikyo
With four tour members and our guide, we had to return early due to the typhoon, but they adapted the schedule flexibly, which was truly impressive! Our guide not only led us but also acted as a photographer, capturing many wonderful photos and videos, which made the four of us girls very happy! We were able to enjoy the tour many times more thanks to our hospitable guide.

I am grateful for the wonderful encounters in Yakushima. I strongly recommend participation to anyone who is considering it. Thank you! ☺︎

2日間ともに、ツアーならではの楽しみを満喫できて、本当に参加してよかったです。どちらも個人でも行けなくはないと思いますが、人との出会い、繋がりができて、ツアーならではの楽しみかたができたので、素晴らしい経験になりました。

1日目の縄文杉:
ツアーメンバー6人とガイドさん。単なる説明だけでなく、メンバー同士も仲良くなれるよう盛り上げてくださいました。最後ゴールしたときの結束感、みんなの笑顔が忘れられません！お弁当の時あたたかいお味噌汁をいただいたのが嬉しかったです。
2日目白谷雲水峡:
ツアーメンバー4人とガイドさん。台風の影響で急遽はやく帰ることになり、時間など臨機応変に変更していただき、本当に神対応でした！ガイドさんとしてだけでなくカメラマンさんとして、素敵な写真、ムービーをたくさん撮ってくださり女子4人大喜びでした！ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんと回ることができ、通常の何倍も楽しめました！

屋久島での素敵な出会いに感謝です。迷ってるかたは参加を強くオススメします。ありがとうございました！☺︎

I was able to fully enjoy the northern part of Okinawa.

There are two trekking courses, and I chose the shorter one just in case, but it ended quickly. If you're young, the longer course should be fine.

Even though it was a weekday, the restaurant at the roadside station during lunch break was extremely crowded. The food was delicious, but the staff seemed overwhelmed, and the seating arrangements and clean-up were a bit sloppy. If you want to eat leisurely or look at souvenirs, it might be better to bring a bento or grab something from a nearby convenience store.

We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, and I felt a bit restless for about an hour, but I think those who love aquariums or have children will be able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

沖縄北部をいっきに満喫できました

トレッキングは2コースあり、時間が心配で念のため短い方にしましたがすぐ終わってしまい、普通に若い方なら長い方でも大丈夫そうです。

平日でしたが、ランチ休憩の道の駅のレストランは激混みでした。おいしかったけど店員さんがキツそうで、席への案内や片付けがずさんです。
ゆっくり食べたい、お土産も見たい方はお弁当持参か近くのコンビニで済ませても良いかもしれません。

美ら海水族館の時間がたっぷりとられていて、1時間くらい持て余しましたが、水族館が好きな方やお子様連れの方には余裕をもって楽しめると思います。

This was really my best Okinawa experience so far.
They took us on a boat to three different diving locations towards Zamami island which was already a very scenic boat ride and at the diving locations everybody could snorkel as much as they wanted. You can book extra scuba diving trips, which I would definitely recommend. We saw lots of marine life with a highlight being a few sea turtles at the end.
The guides took very nice pictures underwater and on the boat, which could be downloaded afterwards, so even without waterproof cameras you will get nice pictures of yourself.
It is perfect for absolute beginners, the instructors took really good care of us and made the scuba diving very easy. I would definitely recommend the trip for people that want to scuba dive but don't have any experience and who can spend a whole day for the activity.

That was my second time Snorkeling~~~
Fantastic and Wonderful experiences.
Also nice and kind staff.
I will definately use this program again.

We participated as a family of six, including four children ranging from elementary to high school. There were just under 30 people in total on the trip. We traveled on the same boat as those doing fun diving, but they made sure to cover the snorkeling points well, so there was no issue with it being too deep, as mentioned in other comments. All the staff were very kind, maintaining a good balance of being present when needed and giving us space, which allowed us to enjoy our time comfortably. They took many photos for us, creating wonderful memories. Additionally, they seemed to know the best spots for turtle sightings, as we encountered three turtles and were able to swim with them. It was truly moving. Thank you to A-san and all the staff who took care of us that day. I definitely want to repeat this experience on our next Kerama tour. Thank you very much.

家族6名、小学生〜高校生の4人の子供と参加しました。
全体では、30名弱で出発。
ファンダイビングの方と同じ船で移動でしたが、シュノーケルのポイントもしっかりと押さえてくれているので、ほかコメントにあったような、深すぎるという事はありませんでした。
スタッフさんがどなたも皆さんとても親切で、付かず離れず、必要な時にさりげなく声がけしてくれたり、終始気持ちよく過ごす事ができました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、良い思い出となりました。また、亀の出現ポイントをしっかり把握されているのか、3匹と遭遇、一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。とても感動しました。
担当してくださったスタッフのAさん始め、当日のスタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました。
次回、慶良間ツアーの際も必ずこちらにリピートしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Although August is a poor time for rafting in Hokkaido as the water level is low and the it's so hot with extreme UV rays, the whole experience has been enjoyable and the guide, from Nepal, spoke great English and had great energy.

The whole activity can be enjoyed from young child to elderly as it's not very strenuous but is still alot of fun for beginner rafters involving alot of wetness and fun.

Recommends to bring a change of clothing when you get out of the water.

The day I had a reservation was rainy, so I was able to switch it to the next day. I was a bit worried about the weather the following day as well, but it turned out to be sunny, which was great. The staff's response was also polite. And the sea at Abaren Beach is amazing! I would love to repeat this experience if I get the chance!

予約した日が雨だったので
次の日と入れ替えていただきました。
翌日も最初は天気のほう少し心配しましたが、
晴れだったのでよかったです。
スタッフの対応も丁寧でした。
そして阿波連ビーチの海最高です！
またチャンスあればリピしたいです！

The morning of midsummer at Lake Shikotsu was sparkling and very beautiful. I was lucky to see the Chitose plum blossom algae as well. You do get a bit wet from the water, but I highly recommend it.

真夏の朝の支笏湖はキラキラとして、とても綺麗でした。千歳梅花藻も見ることが出来てラッキーでした。まあまあ水はかかって濡れますが、おススメです。

This is a tour that both adults and children can enjoy! In the first half, we explored the night jungle, walking around in the dark, discovering bats, and even touching a large coconut crab—an experience you can't have in Tokyo! In the second half, we enjoyed stargazing, learning the names of stars and watching shooting stars, which left both adults and children very satisfied! The guide was knowledgeable about insects and spoke well, so my son said, "I want to see the big brother again!" I plan to request this tour again for our trip to Ishigaki Island next year! Thank you!

大人も子供も楽しめるツアーです！
前半はナイトジャングル散策で暗闇の中を歩き回りコウモリ発見したり、大きなヤシガニを触ってみたり、東京では出来ない経験を満喫！後半は星空観賞で星の名前を教えてもらったり、流れ星をみたりと大人も子供も大満足でした！ガイドしてくださった方が虫に詳しくお話が上手なので息子も「またお兄ちゃんに会いたい！」と言っています！
来年の石垣島旅行でもツアーお願いしようと思います！ありがとうございました

We requested a tour for just the two of us, as we thought it would be difficult to keep up with younger people in a group. Thanks to our guide's consideration of the pace, we were able to reach the summit safely, and we didn't feel sore the next day. I'm glad we made this request.

50代の夫婦でお願いしました。団体だと若い人について行くのは大変だと思い自分達だけのツアーにしました。ガイドさんがペース配分を考えて誘導していただいたおかげで、無事に登りきることも出来ましたし、次の日もつらくなかったです。お願いしてよかったと思いました。

My sister and I participated on our way back from Miyako Island. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the cave due to the typhoon's impact, but we were satisfied to see many fish. The conversation with the instructor, Ayumu, was enjoyable, and time flew by. They also told us about a wetsuit shop, and we got one to take home. Thank you very much!

姉と2人で宮古島の帰りに参加しました。あいにく台風の影響で洞窟には行けませんでしたがたくさんの魚を見る事ができて満足しています。インストラクターの歩君との会話も楽しくあっという間に時間が過ぎていました。ウェットスーツのお店も教えて頂きゲットして帰りました。有難うございました。

First of all, it was fun‼️

The access points for SUP and the limestone caves are in the jungle by the roadside, which really gets your excitement up. We went up the river, walked partway, played at the waterfall, and when we returned to where we had left the SUP and canoe, it was shallow. It might have been a little mishap, but we were able to feel the nature around us. The guide was polite, took a lot of photos, and was skilled, so thank you very much!

まず、楽しかったです‼️

SUPや鍾乳洞へのアクセスポイントが、車道の脇のジャングルの中
これだけでテンション上がります。
川を上って、途中から歩いて、滝で遊んで、SUP、カヌーを浮かべておいた所に戻ると、、、浅くなってる
引潮だったんです。ちょっとしたハプニングかもしれませんが、自然を感じることができました
ガイドの兄さんは、丁寧で、沢山の写真を撮ってくれて、腕も良くて、ありがとうございました

The Milky Way, Jupiter, and Saturn were incredibly visible, and there were many beautiful shooting stars! They also explained the stars, so the children listened and watched with great interest. However, the start time was late, and my 8-year-old couldn't wait for their turn to see through the telescope and fell asleep before seeing Saturn's rings. It would have been great if they could have shown the smaller children first. Also, I wish they had provided binoculars for everyone. Since the area was really dark, it was difficult to park the car, and it was also hard to get out when leaving, so I think it would be dangerous without someone to guide us.

びっくりするほど天の川や木星、土星が良く見えて流れ星もいっぱいできれいでした！
星の説明もしてくれたので、子供たちも興味深く聞いて見ていました。
ただ、開始時間が遅いので8歳の子供は天体望遠鏡を見せてもらう順番まで待てず、土星の輪をみる前に寝てしまいましたできれば小さい子供から見せてもらえればありがたかったです。あと双眼鏡も人数分、貸していただきたかったなぁ。
本当にあたりが真っ暗なため、車が停めにくく、また帰りも出しにくかったので、誘導してくれる人がいないと危険だと思いました。

Our tour guide was super sweet... we loved everything about this tour. after hiking the views at the top of the mountain were spectacular...

Thank you, Abukawa-san, for the fun experience. The staff is full of handsome guys, so please upload that photo to Instagram!

スタッフイケメンさんが多いからその写真もインスタアップしてって娘たち笑楽しい体験を虻川さんありがとう

I have visited Okinawa countless times, but this is my first time on Tokashiki Island★

Since it's summer vacation, the high-speed liner departing from Tomari Port was already fully booked. I really wanted to go, so while searching, I found this option.

As a result, this option includes lunch, has just the right timing, and allows for a short travel time, making it a great deal.

And as for the sea…
We were blessed with good weather, revealing a beautiful blue world like I've never seen before! Absolutely stunning! I was so excited!

However, at Aharen Beach, the supervision is very strict, and snorkeling without a life jacket is prohibited!!

I wanted to go skin diving, so Aharen Beach wasn't suitable for me, and I played at Hanari Island★
The transfer between Aharen and Hanari Island took about 5 minutes by banana boat. It was my first time moving between islands by banana boat, and it was so much fun!

During the bus ride, we enjoyed the ride without getting bored thanks to the brother's explanations about the island!

Next time, I definitely want to stay on the island overnight!
In fact, I want to go right away!!

I highly recommend it★★★

沖縄へは数え切れないぐらい来ていますが、今回は初めての渡嘉敷島★

夏休みということもあり、泊港から出発の高速ライナーが既に予約は満席。
どうしても行きたかったので、探していたところこちらを見つけました。

結果、こちらはランチもついて、丁度良い時間、かつ短時間で移動できるので、とってもお得です。

そして海はと言うと…
お天気に恵まれ、見たことない綺麗なブルーの世界！文句なしの美しさ！大興奮でした！

ただ阿波連ビーチは監視がとても厳しく、ライフジャケットなしのシュノーケリングは禁止！！

スキンダイビングをしたかったので、阿波連ビーチは合わず、ハナリ島で遊びました★
阿波連⇄ハナリ島は、バナナボートで5分程度の移動。
島移動がバナナボートなのも、初めてでとても楽しかったです！

そしてバス移動中の車内は、お兄さんの島説明で飽きることなく楽しめました！

今度は必ず島に一泊したい！
なんならすぐに行きたい！！

本当におススメです★★★

I participated with my 10-year-old son. It was almost our first time trekking, and we were a bit anxious, but thanks to our kind and reliable guide, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. The guide made sure to take regular breaks, and their thoughtfulness and attention to detail were truly wonderful. It was a challenging journey, but we managed to get through it! The guide had extensive knowledge about the mountains, plants, insects, and birds, and taught us many things. My son seems to have completely fallen in love with Yakushima.

It became a very lovely memory. I'm glad we chose this tour. Thank you very much!

10歳の息子と一緒に参加しました。トレッキングは親子ともにほぼ初めてで不安もありましたが、優しく頼もしいガイドさんのお陰で、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことができました。休憩をこまめにとってくださり、気配り、目配りが本当に素晴らしく、大変な道のりでしたが乗り切る事が出来ました！山や植物、虫や鳥の知識が豊富で、色々な事を教えて下さり、息子もすっかり屋久島に魅了されたようです。
とても素敵な思い出になりました。このツアーでよかったです。本当にありがとうございました！

The instructors were excellent and experienced. The dives were very smooth and the entire family had fun. The only small issue I have is that she of the photos were taken using lower quality cameras so they were a little blurry. Despite this, there were multiple high quality photos that we are pleased with

This time, I used the "Recommended Course Sightseeing Taxi" because I didn't have much time. The driver was very polite and shared interesting behind-the-scenes stories about various places (temples), which was very enjoyable. Although it wasn't part of the course, I was suggested to visit Wakakusa Mountain instead of Kasuga-taisha, and I went there. The weather was nice, and I enjoyed the wonderful views. My grandchild also had a great time playing with the deer. I believe it became a great summer vacation memory. (They were already writing a travel diary for their summer vacation friends.) Thank you very much.

今回は、時間があまりなかったので、「おすすめコース 観光タクシー」を利用させて頂きました。運転手さんも丁寧な方で、いろいろな場所（お寺さん）の歴史の裏話を聞かせて頂き、とても面白かったです。コースには入っていませんでしたが、春日大社の代わりに若草山を提案頂き行ってきました。天気も良く、すばらしい眺望を満喫しました。孫も鹿と、しっかり遊べてとても楽しそうでした。いい夏休みの思い出になったことと思います。（早速、夏休みの友に旅行記を書いていました。）ありがとうございました。

I participated in this tour alone. After about a 50-minute ride on a charter boat, a microbus was waiting to take us to Tokashiku Beach. It took about 10 minutes from there to reach the resort hotel by the beach.

The weather was fantastic that day, and as I walked through the hotel lobby, the beautiful Kerama Blue sea awaited me! In the swimming area, there is no requirement to wear life jackets, so you can swim freely. There were several sea turtles right near the boundary of the swimming area. They seemed accustomed to humans and didn't try to escape (please don't try to touch them).

The beach is shallow, and adults can stand in the swimming area. Unfortunately, I didn't see any coral, but there were clownfish near the rocky areas. I also spotted a large fish (a Taman) about 50 centimeters long. The sea was incredibly beautiful, like swimming in emerald jelly.

For lunch, we had curry, beef bowl, and Okinawa soba, and I chose the curry. Eating curry at a seaside terrace was very delicious. Since there was nothing around the hotel, no other tourists came, and even during summer vacation, it was not crowded, allowing for a relaxing time.

今回のツアーには一人で参加しました。チャーター船で約50分、到着するとトカシクビーチ行きのマイクロバスが待っていました。そこから約10分ほどでビーチのあるリゾートホテルに着きました。
この日はすごく天気が良く、ホテルのロビーを抜けると慶良間ブルーの海が待っていました！
遊泳区域内はライフジャケットの着用義務がないので気軽に泳げます。ウミガメはちょうど遊泳区域の境界線のあたりに何頭もいました。人間になれているのかあまり逃げようとしません（触ろうとしないように）
またビーチは遠浅で遊泳区域内は大人なら立つことができます。残念ながらサンゴは見当たりませんが、岩のある所にはカクレクマノミがいます。
また50センチほどの大きな魚（タマン）がいました。海はとにかく綺麗で、エメラルドのゼリーの中を泳いでいるみたいです。
ランチはカレー、牛丼、沖縄ソバで、私はカレーにしました。海辺のテラス席で食べるカレーはとても美味しかったです。ホテルの周りには何もないのでほかの観光客が来ることもなく、夏休みのビーチでも空いていたので、のんびり過ごせました。

Although I have some experience with snorkeling, I think this was the first time I encountered such beautiful marine blue waters. Both my child and I were continuously amazed and excited; the slightly high waves didn't bother us at all as we immersed ourselves in the sea (laughs).

At first, my son was anxious and wore a life jacket, but during our second snorkeling session, he challenged himself with just a wetsuit. He seemed to have a lot of fun. Thanks to the instructor's wonderful smile and friendly demeanor, my younger child also had a fantastic time filled with smiles.

It was also thanks to the instructor's encouragement that my timid children were able to try the slide! It was truly a day filled with many wonderful experiences. Thank you very much.

I hope to challenge myself with another experience that we couldn't do this time on our next opportunity.

シュノーケリングは何度か経験あるものの、ここまできれいなマリンブルーは初めてだったように思います。
親子ともども感動と興奮の連続、波が少し高かったのも気にならないくらい海の中に没頭しました（笑）

はじめは不安でライフジャケットを着ていた息子も、2回目のシュノーケリングの時はウェットスーツだけでの挑戦。
とっても楽しかったみたいです。
そしてインストラクターさんの素敵な笑顔と気さくな対応のおかげで、下の子も笑顔の絶えない素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

怖がりなうちの子供たちが滑り台にチャレンジできたのも、インストラクターさんの後押しのおかげです！
本当にたくさんの素敵な経験ができた一日でした。
ほんとうにありがとうございました。

次の機会には今回できなかった別の体験にチャレンジできたらいいなとおもいます。

The staff were all kind and taught us with great care. It became the best memory of Okinawa. I would like to participate again.

スタッフの方々、皆さん親切、丁寧に教えてくれました。沖縄の最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思いました。

There were many families and people from different countries, but the staff were very kind and attentive, which was a great help! They even asked my child, who was snorkeling for the first time, "Did you see Nemo (the clownfish)?"

There were female staff members who were considerate and funny, taking family photos for us, and when my child borrowed a mermaid costume, they really got into it and made it fun. They became our favorite staff members.

Thanks to them, we adults also had a wonderful tour. Thank you very much. We would like to use your services again.

お子様連れも異国の方も多かったのですが、とても親切、丁寧な対応で助かりました！初めてのシュノーケルのうちの子にも「ニモ（クマノミ）見た？」って声かけてくれたり。
女性スタッフで気遣いがあり、面白い人が居て、家族写真撮ってくれたり、子供がマーメイドの衣装借りた時も盛り上げてくれたり、お気に入りのスタッフさんです。
私達大人も、お陰で楽しいツアーになりました。ありがとうございました。また利用したいです。

I participated in a lunch-inclusive tour to Awa Island Beach, and it was really great! The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish while snorkeling. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Okinawa!

ランチ付き阿波連ビーチツアーに参加しましたが、本当に良かったです！海も凄く綺麗でシュノーケリングでたくさん可愛いお魚を見る事ができました。
沖縄旅行に行く時はまた必ず訪れたいと思います！

The Blue Cave was really crowded, and we had to wait in line, but the guide made sure we could experience it before a long queue formed, so we were able to take photos at a great spot without waiting at all. After leaving the Blue Cave, we also had fun feeding the fish.

I highly recommend the kayaking with the drone photography plan! You can get photos that look like they belong in a magazine. The sea where we experienced kayaking was incredibly beautiful! We visited several beaches on this trip, but I think this one was the prettiest.

The guide was very friendly, and my daughter quickly warmed up to him. It was fun to hear about the games children play in Okinawa. I'm currently practicing the easy bubble ring technique he taught us in the bath♪

It was the best experience. I would love to do it again next time!

青の洞窟はすごくたくさん人がいて順番待ちになりましたが、長蛇の列ができる前に体験できるようにガイドさんが配慮してくれたので全然並ばずにいいスポットで撮影してもらうことができました。青の洞窟から出た後は、魚の餌やりもできて楽しかったです。
カヤックはドローンの撮影プランがおすすめです！まるで雑誌に載っているような写真を撮ってもらえます。カヤックを体験した海はめちゃくちゃキレイです！今回の旅行でいくつかビーチに行きましたが、ここが一番きれいだったと思います。
ガイドさんはとても気さくな方で娘もすぐになついていました。沖縄の子どもの遊びの話なども聞けて楽しかったです。教えてもらったお手軽バブルリングはお風呂で練習中です♪
最高の体験でした。次回もお願いしたいです！

We were able to reach Jomon Sugi with our family of three, including our 10-year-old child! Both my husband and I were not very confident in our physical strength, and with an elementary school student, we thought it would be enough to just make it to Wilson Stump. However, our guide took us at a comfortable, slow pace and made sure to take breaks frequently, successfully leading us all the way to Jomon Sugi! There’s no way we could have done it on our own. We are truly grateful. On the way back, my knees started to hurt, but it was very helpful that they lent me a support brace. The conversation was enjoyable, and I was able to keep walking without feeling exhausted until the end. Thank you very much!

10歳の子ども連れ家族3人で縄文杉まで行けました！
夫婦とも体力に自信がなく小学生もいるので、途中のウィルソン株まで行けたら十分かなと思っていました。でも、ガイドさんが無理なくゆっくりペースで、休憩もこまめにとってくださり、無事に縄文杉まで連れて行ってくれました！家族だけではとてもじゃないけど行けませんでした。本当に感謝しています。帰り道に膝が痛くなったのですが、サポーターを貸してくださるなどとてもありがたかったです。お話も楽しくて、最後までしんどいと思うことなく、歩き続けることができました。ありがとうございました！

On the last night, I joined Pip's night tour after the day tour I had with him! The kids were super excited about the creatures and plants we encountered, and the guide was entertaining, which made it very satisfying! There were also several staff members who spoke English, so the people from Belgium who came with us seemed to be having a great time too! I definitely want to participate in another tour.

最終日の夜、1日ツアーでお世話になったピピさんのナイトツアーに参戦！出てくる生き物や植物に子供達も大興奮でガイドさんも面白くて大満足でした！
英語が話せるスタッフさんも何名かいたので、一緒に来たベルギーの方々も楽しそうにしてました！
また違うツアーに参加したいと思いました。

I came to Ishigaki Island without any plans at all. I saw people doing SAP at the observation deck in Kabira Bay, so I looked for companies that could offer it today and found this plan. The weather was great, so the photos turned out beautifully! I really had a wonderful day.

全く計画をせずに石垣島に来てしまいました。
川平湾の展望台でやりたかったSAPをしているのを見たので今日できる会社さんはあるか調べたらこちらのプランにたどり着きました。
天気も良かったので写真も映え映え！
本当に幸せな1日を過ごせました。

I participated in a half-day tour of the Phantom Island and Ishigaki Coral Reef snorkeling. Since I chose not to have transportation included, I drove my rental car and gathered in front of Toyoko Inn, where the staff guided us to the nearby marina for participation. By the way, the boat tends to sway quite a bit, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication before boarding. For those who have no issues, if the weather is good, you can enjoy a refreshing cruise until arrival.

As for the tour, we first visited the Phantom Island and had some free time to explore. We were blessed with good weather that day, and although there were quite a few tourists, the stunning scenery was just as I had seen in commercials and on TV, making it an unforgettable memory.

Next, we boarded the boat again and moved to Ishigaki Coral Reef to enjoy snorkeling. The water was relatively shallow, allowing us to enjoy the corals and colorful fish, but honestly, I felt that the snorkeling I did the day before at Barasu Island was better in terms of the vibrancy of the corals and the number of fish (this may depend on the sea conditions of the day and is subjective, so just for reference).

After finishing snorkeling, we returned to the marina where we started. Since we participated for half a day, we disembarked here, concluding the tour. Those on the full-day course seemed to have a meal before departing again. After disembarking, the staff guided us to the office where we were able to take a shower. Since I planned to take an afternoon flight home, having access to a clean facility for a shower was very helpful.

Lastly, regarding the staff, they were very kind and seemed to take great care to ensure safety, which left a very good impression on me. If I come back next year, I would definitely like to rely on their services again.

幻の島＋石西礁湖シュノーケリングの半日ツアーに参加しました。
送迎なしを選択したので、レンタカーに乗り東横イン前に集合、近くのマリーナまでスタッフの方に誘導されての参加となります。
ちなみに、船は割と揺れるので、酔いやすい方は薬を服用し乗船されたほうが良いと思いました。まったく問題なしという方は、好天であれば到着するまで爽快なクルージングを楽しむことができます。
ツアーですが、最初に幻の島を訪れ、思い思いの散策となります。
当日は天気に恵まれ、観光客の方たちもそれなりに多かったのですが、CMやらTVやらで見ていた通りの素晴らしい景色は想像通りで、忘れられない思い出となりました。
続いて、再び乗船し石西礁湖に移動、シュノーケリングを楽しむ行程になります。水深は割と浅め、サンゴや色とりどりの魚を楽しむことができますが、正直なところ前日に参加したバラス島でのシュノーケリングのほうが、サンゴの鮮やかさや魚の多さといった点では勝っていたように思います（当日の海のコンディションにもよりますし、主観も入っているので参考までにということで）。
シュノーケリングを終了した後、出発地のマリーナに戻りました。私たちは、半日参加でしたので、ここで下船しツアー終了となります。一日コースの方たちは、食事をしまた出発されるようでした。下船後、車でオフィスまで誘導していただき、シャワーを浴びさせていただきました。午後飛行機に乗り、帰る予定であったので、綺麗な施設でシャワーを浴びられたことはとても助かりました。
最後にスタッフの方たちですが、とても優しく安全にすごく気をつかっていただいている様子でとても好感が持てました。
来年、また来ることがあれば是非お世話になりたいと思います。
