All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I had hardly ever done any mountain climbing before, but I really wanted to see Jomon Sugi, so I decided to join a tour.

During the tour, we took breaks at appropriate intervals, and the guides provided us with information about the target arrival times and guidelines for each point, which allowed us to walk with peace of mind. It was also helpful that they informed us about dangerous areas and how to handle them in advance.

The day before, when I went to Shiratani Unsuikyo alone, I struggled and got lost due to the thick fog, so I was even more grateful that I had signed up for this tour before my trip!

普段ほとんど登山などはしたことがなかったのですが、どうしても縄文杉が見たかったのでツアーに参加することにしました。

ツアーでは適度に休憩を挟みながら、各ポイントへの到着目標時間や目安などを教えて頂きながらトレッキングしたため、安心して歩くことができました。また危険な箇所や対応の仕方も事前に教えて貰えよかったです。

前日に白谷雲水峡に1人で行った時に、霧が濃かったこともあり、道に迷ったり苦労したため、尚更旅行前にこのツアーを申し込んでいて良かったと思いました！

I was feeling quite seasick upon arrival, but thanks to the wonderful teasing from our guide, I was able to enjoy a friendly atmosphere with everyone I met for the first time! The limestone cave was very exciting, and I had a relaxing time canoeing! I felt really refreshed in the midst of such rich nature. The photo of everyone jumping while holding hands is one of my favorites! Thank you very much!

到着時より船酔いでグデクデでしたが、ガイドさんの素晴らしいいじりによりはじめましての方とも和気あいあいと過ごせました(^^)！鍾乳洞はとてもexcitingで、カヌーではのんびり過ごせました！自然豊かな中でとてもリフレッシュしました♫最後みんなで手を繋いでジャンプした写真、とてもお気に入りです！ありがとうございました！

In the morning, I visited Balas Island and a limestone cave, and in the afternoon, I did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). In the limestone cave, we advanced through the pitch-black cave with our lights on, sometimes getting knee-deep in water... it was an adventure that sparked my sense of exploration. I was also nervous about trying SUP for the first time, and I was able to have many experiences in just one day. The guide was very thorough in their explanations and took a lot of photos, which made me extremely satisfied.

午前中にバラス島＆鍾乳洞、午後にマングローブSUPしました。鍾乳洞はライトを付けて真っ暗な鍾乳洞を進んで、膝まで水に浸かったり…冒険心を擽られるツアーです。また、初めてのSUPにドキドキしたり、1日で沢山の経験が出来ました。ガイドさんも説明が丁寧で、写真も沢山撮ってくれて超大満足です。

I only made a reservation for snorkeling, but they were able to accommodate my request for diving as well! Thank you so much! Thank you, Ken!

シュノーケリングだけの予約でしたが、ダイビングの希望も対応して頂けました！
本当にありがとうございます！
ケンちゃんありがとう！

At the end of December 2019, I attempted to reach the Arakawa trailhead but had to give up due to heavy rain! On March 17, 2020, I made a second attempt. I kept a close eye on the weather forecast and changed my tour reservation several times before the day arrived, and I was able to go on a day with perfect weather. Our guide, Mr. Kawada, was incredibly thorough, providing many informative stories about the basics of mountain walking and the history of Yakusugi, and I truly felt it was worth hiring a guide. Thank you very much. We departed from the trailhead at 5:30 AM and returned at 3:40 PM. As someone over 60, I felt a sense of accomplishment after walking 22 km in the mountains. It was all thanks to our guide.

2019.12月末、大雨で荒川登山口まで行くが断念！2020.3.17 再挑戦でした。天気予報睨めっこでツアー申し込みも何度か変更を繰り返し当日を迎え、最高の天気のなか行って来ました。ガイドの川田さんの案内は実に丁寧で山歩きの基本や屋久杉の歴史など勉強になる話が多く、ガイドをお願いして本当に良かったと思います。有難うございました。登山口5:30出発ー15:40帰着　還暦過ぎ22kmの山歩きに達成感あり。ガイドさんのお蔭だな。

This time, we participated in two activities, kayaking and snorkeling, with a large group of 11 people. Thanks to our guide who worked hard to ensure we could experience each activity in the best conditions, we ultimately split the activities over two days. The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, with lots of fish, and I think it's an experience you should have when visiting Okinawa! There were divers below, so I want to try diving next time, haha.

The sea where we kayaked was also very beautiful, and even though everyone was a beginner, all 11 of us had a great time! Our guide was really fun and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves! It was the best trip! Thank you!

今回、私たちは11人という大人数でカヤックとシュノーケリング二つのアクティビティに参加させていただきました。それぞれのアクティビティを最高の状況で体験できるようにガイドのお兄さんが試行錯誤してくださったおかげで最終的に2日間に分けてアクティビティをしました。青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングは信じられないほど海が綺麗でお魚もたくさんいて沖縄にきて体験すべきアクティビティだと思いました！下にダイバーさんもいたので次回はダイビングがしたいです笑
カヤックをした海もとても綺麗で全員初心者でしたが11人全員楽しむことができました！
ガイドのお兄さんは本当にノリが良くて全員楽しませていただきました！最高の旅行になりました！ありがとうございます！

It became a wonderful memory.
The tour guide was very kind and funny,
and although the journey to Yakusugi was tough,
the enjoyment outweighed that.
I felt that sharing the emotions was also a charm of the tour.

とてもすてきな思い出になりました。
ツアーの方がとても優しくて面白くて、
屋久杉までの道のりもきつかったですが、
それ以上に楽しさが勝ちました。
感動の共有ができることもツアーの魅力だと感じました。

It was my first time, but they explained everything properly before we started, and I was very satisfied with both the snorkeling and diving! Everyone was kind, and it was a fun time! Taking motion sickness medication was the right choice.

初めてでしたが入る前にきちんと説明してくれ、シュノーケルもダイビングもとても満足できました！
皆さん優しくて楽しい時間でした！
酔止め飲んで行ったのは正解でした。

We participated as a couple. The weather conditions were not ideal with strong winds, thick clouds, and choppy waves, but we were able to enjoy a wonderful sunset! Additionally, the guide was very kind, attentive, and had interesting stories, making for a fun time. Thank you for taking so many great photos. We would love to participate again!

夫婦で参加しました。当日は風も強く雲も厚く波もたっていて決して好条件ではありませんでしたが、素晴らしいサンセットが拝めました！また、ガイドの方がとても親切丁寧で話しも面白くて楽しい時間が過ごせました。素敵な写真もいっぱい撮っていただきありがとうございました。またぜひ参加したいです！

I usually travel around by rental car, but since this was a solo trip, I decided to try a bus tour. From Naha City, it takes about three hours by car. After that, visiting the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the Daisekirinzan, I was a bit concerned about my stamina, but to conclude, I think choosing the bus tour was the right decision!

On the way there, we enjoyed sightseeing through the bus windows with the guidance of the tour conductor and audio guide, so we arrived in no time. Although I’m not very confident in my physical stamina, I was able to comfortably complete the entire course, perhaps pushed by the energy of Daisekirinzan.

I often visit aquariums, so I intentionally skipped the inside and walked around outside, which resulted in me walking 15,545 steps that day. I did end up with some muscle soreness, but I have no regrets! Regarding Daisekirinzan, taking photos can take quite a bit of time, so I wish we had a little more time to spare. Considering the lunch schedule, I think it was a bit tight.

The Churaumi Aquarium also has attractions outside, so when you go, definitely bring sunglasses and sunscreen! The reflection from below can burn both your eyes and skin! On the way back, I was exhausted and worn out, so the bus tour was indeed the right choice.

普段はレンタカーであちこち回るのですが、今回は一人旅でしたので、バスツアーに挑戦してみました。
那覇市内からだと、車で3時間。その後に、大石林山を回り、美ら海水族館を回るとなると、体力的に不安があったので、結論から言えば、バスツアー正解だと思います！
行きは、添乗員さんや音声ガイドの案内で、車窓観光を楽しみながらでしたので、あっという間に到着。
体力に自信はありませんが、大石林山のパワーに押されて？、全コースも余裕で回ることができました。
水族館は個人的に良く行ってるので館内は敢えてスルーして、外を歩き回ってたためか、この日1日で、15,545歩歩いてました。
さすがに、筋肉痛にはなりましたが、後悔はしてません！
大石林山に関しては、写真撮ったりとかしてると時間を結構取られるので、もう少し時間に余裕があるといいなとは思いました。お昼の時間のこともあるので、スケジュールとしてはギリギリだとは思いますが。
美ら海水族館は、外にも見どころがありますから、行くときは是非、サングラスと日焼け止め必須で！！下からの照り返しで、目も肌も焼けます！
帰りは、さすがに疲れてぐったりだったので、やはりバスツアー正解でしたね。

The guide's explanations were interesting, and I was laughing the whole time! The drone photography in the beautiful sea captures incredibly powerful images! It's definitely Instagram-worthy (laughs). I don't think any other tours offer this much. I didn't expect to have this much fun for this price, so I want to repeat this when I come to Okinawa again! Thank you!

ガイドさんの解説？が面白くて終始笑ってました！
綺麗な海でのドローン撮影はすごく迫力のある写真が撮れます！インスタ映え間違いないです（笑）
他のツアーにはここまでやってくれるとこ無いと思います。
この値段でここまで楽しめるとは思ってなかったので、沖縄に来た時はまたリピートしたいです！
ありがとうございました！

I wanted to take on the challenge of Oishi Shinsan again, so I participated in this tour once more. I wanted to stay a little longer, and this time I was able to stay for about 30 minutes longer, which was great. However, in the end, I had to rush, so I believe that a stay of at least 2 hours is necessary for this place. In future tours, I definitely want the stay at Oishi Shinsan to be at least 2 hours!

大石林山に再チャレンジしたくて、再度このツアーに参加しました。少しでも長く滞在したかったので、今回は30分くらい長く滞在できてとてもよかったです。それでも最後は駆け足になったので、やはり2時間は滞在時間が必要な場所だと思います
今後のツアーではぜひ大石林山滞在時間を2時間は欲しいと思います！！

Unfortunately, the clouds covered the sky, and I couldn't see the stars. I was really looking forward to the starry sky, so it's disappointing. The staff member tried to lift our spirits, and I have no complaints about the organizers. I want to improve my daily conduct and come back again. Please create something to blow away the clouds, Veltra.

あいにく雲がかかってしまい星は見ることができなかった。星空がメインで申し込んだので残念です。スタッフのお兄さんは盛り上げようとしてくれたし、主催側に文句はありません。日頃の行いを良くして、また来たいと思います。
何か雲を吹き飛ばす道具を、veltraさんで作って下さい。

The lower half gets quite wet (if you paddle somewhat roughly). The mangroves were a rare type of vegetation and very interesting. The weather was just right, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful red sunset against the horizon. Kayaking wasn't too difficult, and since it's a two-person kayak, it was great to be able to paddle together with my friend. Thank you very much.

結構下半身は濡れます。(ある程度乱暴に漕いだ場合)
マングローブは珍しい植生で興味深かった。
天気はちょうど晴れていて、きれいな紅色の夕日を水平線をバックに眺めることが出来ました。カヤックの運転はそんなに難しくなく、二人乗りなので、一緒に漕ぐ友人と一緒に頑張ることが出来て良いです。
ありがとうございました。

At first, I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the staff really enhanced the tour. I was able to see coconut crabs, flying foxes, hermit crabs, rhinoceros beetles, and a beautiful starry sky, making it a very enjoyable tour.

　一人での参加ということで初めは不安もありましたが、職員の方々がツアーを盛り上げてくれ、ヤシガニ、オオコウモリ、オカヤドカリ、サイカブト、綺麗な星空などを見ることが出来、非常に楽しいツアーとなりました。

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！
