All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The instructor made an effort to alleviate the participants' anxieties, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout the tour. At Kabira Bay for stand-up paddleboarding, they took us to a safe location where we could grasp the concept on land before actually paddling on the sea. During the Blue Cave snorkeling, the instructor led those who were not confident swimmers and checked in with questions like, "Are you okay? Are you scared?" This ensured that all participants could enjoy the tour safely.

インストラクターさんはツアーに参加した人たちの不安を取り除く説明を心がけていて、ツアー中は参加者全員が和気あいあいとした空気に包まれていました。川平湾supでは、安全な場所に連れて行ってくださり、陸の上でイメージを掴んでから、実際に海の上でsupに乗ることができます。青の洞窟シュノーケリングでは、泳ぎが得意でない参加者の方をリードしてくれたり、大丈夫ですか？怖くないですか？と声をかけてくれるので、参加者全員が無事にツアーを楽しむことができました。

We paddled from the sea towards Kuura Falls on a stand-up paddleboard. The river is shaded by mangroves, making it cool and pleasant. Our guide explained the mangroves to us. Along the way, we stopped the paddleboard and enjoyed a light trek towards Kuura Falls. We were able to get close enough to the falls to bathe in the water, which felt great. The plunge pool was perfect for swimming and was bustling with children. There are three caves with stalactites hanging from the ceiling like icicles, creating a mystical atmosphere. The last cave has areas where light doesn't reach, allowing us to experience the pitch darkness of the cave, and we took commemorative photos while receiving explanations about the cave. The narrow exit added to the sense of adventure, making it quite fun.

Bara Island is a coral reef island floating in the sea, and we headed there by boat. Thank you to Mr. Chiba for taking so many photos for us.

サップはクウラの滝を海から川に向かって漕いでいきます。
川はマングローブが生えていて、陰になっているので、涼しいです。ガイドさんが、マングローブの説明をしてくれます。途中でサップを止めて、軽いトレッキングを楽しみながらクウラの滝を目指します。クウラの滝は触れる距離まで接近できて、頭から水浴びができ、気持ちよかったです。滝つぼは泳ぐことができ、子どもたちで賑わっていました。鍾乳洞は3つあって、鍾乳石がつららみたいに天井から伸びていて神秘的です。一番最後の鍾乳洞は光が届かない場所があり、鍾乳洞の真っ暗な様子を体験でき、記念撮影と、鍾乳洞の解説をしてくれます。出口が狭いので、探検気分が味わえて面白かったです。
バラス島は海に浮かぶサンゴ礁でできた島で、船で向かいます。写真をいっぱい撮ってくれた千葉さんありがとうございました。

Iriomote Island becomes completely dark at night due to the absence of streetlights. It seems that there are sometimes habu snakes, so they provide a service that prepares rubber boots for safety. On the way to a beach known only to locals, you can encounter a large hermit crab called a coconut crab. Once you reach the beach, you can see the starry sky clearly, and on a night without clouds or the moon, the Milky Way is vividly visible, allowing you to enjoy a wonderful time with only the sound of the waves. The guide, Asahina, explained the stars, and you can see the Summer Triangle that appears in textbooks. After moving to a high point, I was able to lie down and enjoy the peaceful time on the island.

西表島は夜になると街灯がないので真っ暗になります。ハブが出ることがあるみたいで、安全のため長靴を用意してくれるサービスがついていました。地元の人にしか知られていない砂浜に向かう道の途中で、ヤシガニと呼ばれる大きなヤドカリの仲間に出会えます。砂浜に出ると、星空が見れて、雲と月がない日だったので、天の川がくっきりとみえ、波の音だけしか聞こえない素敵な時間を過ごせます。ガイドの朝比奈さんが星の説明をしてくれて、教科書で出てくる夏の大三角を見ることができます。高台に移動したあとは寝転がって静かな島の時間を楽しめました。

I had heard that the weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, so I was worried on the day of the tour, but fortunately, it was sunny. During the stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, the wind was a bit strong, but thanks to the detailed explanations and energetic tone of our guide, Mr. Suganuma, I was able to enjoy myself. The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was overwhelming with more fish than I had imagined, and I was moved by the beauty of Ishigaki Island's nature, which I experienced with all my senses.

石垣島は天気が変わりやすいと聞いたことがあったので、ツアー当日は心配でしたが、運良く晴れました。川平湾サップの時は風が少し強かったですが、担当の菅沼さんの詳しい説明と元気な口調のおかげで、楽しい気分で過ごせました。青の洞窟シュノーケリングでは想像以上の魚の数に圧倒され、石垣島の自然の美しさを全身で体験でき、感動しました。

I participated in the tour during a week when the weather was forecasted to deteriorate. The original date I signed up for was canceled due to bad weather, so I joined the tour the next day. I think it's better to book early in your travel schedule if you plan to participate.

I was anxious about the cloudy skies from the meeting point to the location, but the clouds moved quickly, and as the tour progressed, the stars gradually became visible. The explanations were clear, and the beautiful stars were clearly visible.

天気が崩れる予報のあった週に参加しました。
元々申し込んだ日が悪天候のため中止になり、次の日のツアーに参加しました。予約される場合は、旅行日程の早いうちに参加された方がいいと思います。
曇り空で集合～現地までは不安だったのですが、雲の動きが早く、ツアーが進むうちに徐々に星が見えてきました。分かりやすい説明と、きれいな星たちがハッキリ見えました。

I came to Iriomote Island because I wanted to visit the island of Balas, known as the island of miracles. The sea is far more beautiful than in the photos, and Balas Island, made of coral, exceeded my expectations! Just being here is already a great satisfaction, but since I was here, I also participated in a stand-up paddleboarding experience. I was able to enjoy everything—sea, mountains, and rivers—all in one tour, including mangroves and waterfalls. The staff were kind and helpful as well.

奇跡の島と言われるバラス島に行きたくて西表島に来ました。
写真で見るよりはるかに海が綺麗でサンゴでできたバラス島も想像以上！
ここにこれただけで大満足ですがせっかくならということでsup体験にも参加しました。
初めてのマングローブに滝と1ツアーで海、山、川と全てを楽しむ事ができました。
スタッフの方々も親切で良かったです。

I called several times with questions before making a reservation. Each time, I was treated kindly. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided gentle lectures during the tour, which made it a lot of fun. Thank you for taking such good care of us from start to finish. I look forward to working with you again!

予約する前から質問などで
何度かお電話させていただきました。
毎回、親切に対応してくださいました。
ツアーでも優しくレクチャーしてくださり物知りなガイドさんでとても楽しかったです。
最初から最後まで良くしてくださりありがとうございました。
是非また宜しくお願いします。

I was a bit worried that traveling alone to Iriomote Island would be a challenge, but I came anyway. The guide was very helpful, sharing delicious restaurant recommendations and sightseeing spots. The tour was also very informative, and I was completely satisfied to experience the great nature of Iriomote Island.

I hope many others get to enjoy it too.

はじめての1人旅で西表島はハードル高いかなと思いながらも来ました。
ガイドのお兄さんが美味しいお店や観光スポットなどいろいろ教えてくださり助かりました。
ツアーでも親切にレクチャーしてくださり西表島の大自然に触れられ大満足でした。

色んな方にも味わって頂きたいです。

I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time, but since I didn't have a driver's license, I booked a tour to get around the island. I was satisfied to be able to do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in beautiful waters that I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own. It was great to also visit Kabira Park during lunchtime and enjoy the island's natural beauty in just one day.

初めて石垣島に来たのですが運転免許がなく島を回れなかったので1ツアーを予約しました。
自分では行けないような綺麗な海でsupとシュノーケリングができ満足でした。
お昼時に川平公園にも行け1日で石垣島の大自然を堪能できてよかったです。

I was amazed by the breathtaking nature beyond my imagination.
Paddling to the waterfall, I was able to see the untouched limestone caves and land on a sandbar made of coral in the beautiful sea. It was the best day!
Thank you to the staff for their kind hospitality.

想像以上の大自然さに驚きました。
サップで滝まで行き自然そのままの鍾乳洞を見れ綺麗な海真ん中にサンゴでできたバラス島に上陸ができ最高の1日でした！
スタッフの方も親切に接して頂きありがとうございました。

It is an activity which could give a chance for kids to have known more about dolphin. Friendly staff and good encounter program which makes our day joyful.

We arrived at around 1400. There are several activities on site for kids to spend time. A mini trampoline, badminton, swings, balance track, tricycle, etc. At around 14:45, staff was going to gather all the participants and help the participants to wear the life vest. All the belongings could be kept in the locker in the toilet. 10 mins later, all the participants are guided to a room for a dolphin introduction session. The staff could speak fluence English in the introduction and we know more about a dolphin.
After the introductory session, all the participants are divided into several small groups. The instructor teaches us how we could touch the dolphin and teach us to make a simple order to the dolphin. The group had been exchanged after around 10 mins. This is a very good arrangement as the participants could enter counter with more than one dolphin.
As a family of three, I applied 2 people (Father and Son) to participate in this activity. I would like to take some photo and video for my family members. I found that I was not allowed to go into the area which make video/photo is difficult. It was a joyful moment and would be good if I could take more photo and video to share in social media. I would like to recommend the participant at least could bring one accompany to go into the activity area.
Overall, I highly recommend this activity especially for a family with kids.

This was my first time paddleboarding. I'm not particularly athletic, but the instructor was very kind and guided me well, and I was able to stand up right away! I also had a great time enjoying it with other guests. The shower and changing rooms were clean, which was nice. They took a lot of photos and sent them to my phone right away! I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't a little sunnier, as I would have loved to see a beautiful sunset, but overall, I was very satisfied!

今回がはじめてのサップでした。
私は運動神経がいい方ではないのですがインストラクターのお兄さんが優しくレクチャーしてくださり、すぐに立ってできるようになりました！他のお客さんとも一緒に仲良く楽しめました。
シャワー室や更衣室も清潔感があってよかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただきすぐに携帯に送ってくださりました！
もう少し晴れていたら綺麗な夕日が見れたのかなとそこだけが残念でしたがあとは大満足です！

The staff were friendly and naturally accepted our guidance, providing clear explanations of the visible sights, which was great. The mangrove canoeing was manageable at a speed suited to our fitness level, and we were able to reach the Piñaisara Falls without any issues. The waterfall had more water than I expected, making it quite impressive. Additionally, the diving at the base of the waterfall was a memorable part of the tour.

スタッフの案内も自然と受け入れるフレンドリーな方で、その都度見える物の解説も分かりやすく良かったです。マングローブカヌーも体力に応じたスピードで特に問題なくピナイサーラの滝まで行く事ができた。滝では思ってたより水が多く見応えがあった。また、滝壺ダイビングも思い出として印象に残るツアーでした。

In just one day, I visited places like mangroves, rivers, waterfalls, caves, mountains, jungles, and the sea, including Barasu Island. I stayed in Ishigaki Island and participated in this tour, and I was very satisfied. It was a plan that allowed me to enjoy even with a short stay. I highly recommend it to everyone.

マングローブ、川、滝、洞窟、山、ジャングル、海、バラス島と1日で行った場所は後から数えてみると、これだけありました。私は石垣島に宿泊して参加したのですが、大満足です。滞在期間の短い中でも楽しめるプランでした。
みなさんにもオススメしたいです。

The activities were, of course, wonderful, but it was great that the male guide took photos the whole time, allowing us to participate without worrying about anything! After the activities, I was able to take a shower in a private room. I didn't want to get on the ferry feeling sticky, so I think this is an excellent service for women!

アクティビティはもちろん素晴らしかったのですが、ガイドの男性がずっと写真を撮影してくれるので、何も考えずに参加できてよかった！
アクティビティの後に個室でシャワーも浴びれました。ベタべタのままフェリーに乗りたくなかったので、女性にとっては最高のサービスだと思います！

I also asked Pipi for help at night. It was fun. During the day, I was on Iriomote Island, but at night, I was on Ishigaki Island. The female guide on Ishigaki Island was very gentle and provided a lot of information. At this time of year, the Milky Way becomes visible, and it was so beautiful that I felt like I could cry.

夜もpipiさんにお願いしました。楽しい
昼は西表島でしたが、夜は石垣島で。石垣島の女性のガイドさんも非常に物腰が柔らかく、色々な情報を教えてくださいました。ちょうどこの時期から天の川が見え、美しすぎて涙が出そうでした。

First of all, I want to thank the guide who spent the day with us. Great job! I had a wonderful time, and it's all thanks to our kind male guide. The mangrove canoe cruising, the adventure in the limestone cave, and the sightseeing on Balas Island were all so much fun and went by in a flash.

まず、1日付き合っていただいたガイドさんにありがとうございます。と言いたいです。お疲れ様でした。
私は楽しんでばかりだったのですが、親切な男性のガイドさんのおかげというのも言うまでもありません。マングローブのカヌークルージング、鍾乳洞大冒険、バラス島観光全てが楽しくあっという間でした。

The rain cleared up, and I went to Jomon Sugi under the long-awaited sunny weather. Along the way, the explanations from our guide, Yokota, were enjoyable, making the experience twice as fun. The next day, however, it rained again, and we couldn't go all the way, but we did manage to reach the Forest of Mononoke. The explanations from our guide, Shimozono, were also filled with various local information, which made it enjoyable. It was a good decision to stop early due to the rain.

雨も上がって、久しぶりの晴天の中に縄文杉まで行きました。途中、ガイドの横田さんの説明が楽しく、２倍楽しめた気がします。翌日は逆に雨が降ってしまい最後までいけませんでしたが、もののけの森までいけました。ガイドの下園さんの説明もいろいろな地元情報もあり楽しめました。雨で途中でやめる判断も早くて良かったです。

On the first and second days, the guides were different people. To conclude, the guide on the second day was very good. The pacing, the way of using our legs, and the explanations about the plants and moss were all very thorough, making it easy to climb. On the other hand, the guide on the first day was also very kind and a good person, but due to the requests of a younger person in our group, we descended at a considerably fast pace, which was quite challenging for me, being older. They would wait for me, but would start walking again before I could catch up, so I couldn't rest at all and had to keep walking. I wanted to take more photos, but I had no time at all. Still, I think that without the guide, I wouldn't have known the highlights and it would have just been a "go there" experience, so I believe it was good to join the tour after all.

一日目と二日目でガイドさんが違う人でした。結論からいうと二日目のガイドさんがとてもよかったです。ペース配分、足の使い方、植物や苔の説明など非常に丁寧で、つらくなく登れました。一方、一日目のガイドさんも大変親切な方でしたし、良い方でしたが、一緒に登った若い人の要望で相当早いペースで降り、年齢的にかなり上のわたしには、ついていくのが大変でした。待ってはくれるのですが、追いつく前に歩き出すので、遅れる私はまったく休めず歩きどおしでした。もっと写真を撮りたかったのに、全然余裕がありませんでした。それでも、ガイドなしでは見どころもわからずに「行くだけ」になったと思うので、やはりツアーでよかったと思います。

I have been to Jozankei in winter. Summer is nice too. The greenery is beautiful. The river is lovely. The Jozankei View Hotel is great. The guide was very kind. I recommend it. Since I was alone, I was able to switch to canoeing.

冬の定山渓は行ったことがあります。夏もいいです。緑がいいです。川もいいです。定山渓ビューホテルいいです。親切なガイドさんです。オススメですよ。1人だったので、カヌーにチェンジしてもらいました。

The staff were all very kind and tried to entertain us. The weather was a bit rainy and cloudy, which was unfortunate, but it was a very enjoyable time. I would like to come again.

スタッフの方はどなたも優しく、私たちを楽しませようとしてくださりました。天気は少しの雨と曇り空で残念でしたが、とても楽しいひと時でした。
またお願いします

We participated with a total of five people, from elementary school children to my grandmother. Everyone was very satisfied. The water was cold, but it wasn't a problem with the dry suits. Jumping in from the high point was refreshing. I would like to participate again in early spring when the water level is high.

小学校低学年から祖母まで計5名で参加しました。
5人とも大満足でした。
水は冷たかったですがドライスーツで問題ありませんでした。
途中高台からの飛び込みも爽快でした。
水量が多い春先にまた参加したいです。

I participated in the event while a typhoon was approaching, with rain falling intermittently. The mangrove canoeing was a lot of fun, as I was able to see animals and plants that I normally wouldn't encounter. After canoeing, we went trekking, and although it started to rain and the footing was poor, I was able to enjoy nature while climbing. At the waterfall basin, we had warm soba, which was really delicious! The view from the top of the waterfall was spectacular, so I definitely recommend visiting that point. Overall, I was very satisfied, but it was disappointing that the tour guide's camera was broken and I couldn't get any photos.

台風が接近して雨がときおり降る中での参加でした。
マングローブカヌーでは、普段見ることのできない動物や植物をみることができ、とても楽しかったです。
カヌーのあとはトレッキングで、途中から雨が降り足場が悪かったですが、自然を楽しみながら登ることができました。
滝壺ではあたたかいそばを頂き、これが本当に美味しかった！
滝上は絶景だったのでぜひ行って欲しいポイントです。
全体的にはとても満足でしたが、ツアーガイドのカメラが壊れて写真がもらえなかったので残念でした。

Thanks to the guide's accurate judgment, we were able to trek safely even though it was raining. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんの的確な判断により、雨が降っていましたが、安全にトレッキングを行うことができました。ありがとうございました。

I really wanted to see sea turtles, so I joined this tour. Our guide took us from the beach to the dive point, which was quite a distance to swim. However, for those who are not good at swimming, you can hold onto a bodyboard, and the guide will pull you along, so it's very reassuring.

As soon as we reached the dive point, we spotted a sea turtle! The guide mentioned that we were lucky that day, as there were sea turtles everywhere, and we ended up seeing a total of six turtles! We were able to see them up close while they were surfacing for air, and the guide skillfully took photos with the turtles, making it the best tour ever!

The guide's stories were also very enjoyable, and I had a great time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see sea turtles!

海ガメをどうしても見てみたくてこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。
ガイドのお兄さんについてビーチからエントリーしポイントまで結構な距離を泳ぎましたが、泳ぎの苦手な方はボディボードにつかまる事が出来、ガイドのお兄さんが引っ張ってつれていってくれますので安心です。
ポイントにつくとすぐ海ガメを発見！
この日はガイドのお兄さんもおっしゃっていましたが、運が良かったのかあちこちに海ガメがいてくれて、トータル6匹の海ガメちゃんに会えました！
息継ぎのタイミングで間近で海ガメを見る事が出来、またガイドのお兄さんが上手に海ガメと写真を撮ってくださり最高のツアーでした！
ガイドのお兄さんのお話もとても楽しく、良い時間を過ごせました。
海ガメに会いたい方に是非こちらのツアーをオススメします！

I wanted to visit Daishi Forest Mountain, but since I'm not good at driving, I chose this tour. I was very satisfied with the result.

大石林山に行ってみたく、しかし運転が苦手だったためこのツアーを選択しました。
結果とても満足できました。

I was a woman traveling alone, lacking confidence in both swimming and physical fitness before turning 60, but I was able to encounter sea turtles twice and swim with them. If you have the time, I recommend a full-day snorkeling course over a half-day one. Unfortunately, it seemed like the fish had gone somewhere during the half-day session, but at the points around Tokashiki Island, I was able to meet sea turtles at both locations, and they performed the lovely act of swimming leisurely with me, which was a rare experience.

I also want to thank Instructor A, who probably would have preferred to assist a younger lady but took care of me, an unsure older woman, with such kindness. I truly appreciate it. I also received a postcard, which will serve as a wonderful memento of my trip. I definitely want to participate again.

泳ぎも体力も自信がない還暦前の女子一人旅でしたが、海亀に二回も遭遇できて、一緒に泳ぐことができました。もし時間に余裕があるのであれば、スノーケリングは半日コースよりも一日コースをお勧めします。半日のポイントではお魚さんはどっかに出かけてしまったようで残念でしたが、渡嘉敷島のポイントでは二か所とも海亀さんに会うことができ、一緒にのんびり泳いでくれるというパフォーマンスをしてくれて、得難い経験でした。またインストラクターのAさん、若いレイディの相手をしたかったでしょうけど、おぼつかないおばさんの私を気遣って面倒を見てくださり、本当にありがとうございました。
またお葉書も頂戴し、旅の記念といたします。またぜひ参加したいと思います。

I participated in the half-day snorkeling and phantom island landing tour! During the snorkeling, the tour staff set the area and allowed us to swim freely, so I could relax and swim at my own pace. The staff's lectures were thorough and easy to understand, and they kindly accommodated our requests. The phantom island was truly beautiful, like a dream. I'm glad I had the opportunity to join this tour. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate.

半日シュノーケル .幻の島上陸ツアーに参加させていただきました！シュノーケルでは、ツアースタッフが範囲を決めて自由に泳がせてくれたので、のんびり自分のペースで泳ぐことができました。スタッフのレクチャーも丁寧で分かりやすく、こちらの希望にも親切に対応していただけました。幻の島は本当に凄く綺麗で、夢のようでした。今回、このツアーで参加させていただけて良かったと思います。また機会があれば是非利用させていただきたいと思います。

This year, the end of the rainy season came late, and the weather was bad during our trip, but we were able to enjoy the Blue Cave somehow. It was within walking distance from our hotel in Onna Village, and the shops were nice. We had one guide for the two of us, and he was very kind, which made it easy for my friend who was visiting for the first time to enjoy it without worry. Thank you very much.

今年は梅雨明けが遅く、天気が悪い中の旅行となりましたが、何とか青の洞窟を楽しめることが出来ました。恩納村のホテルからは歩いて行ける距離にあり、お店もきれいでした。友人と2人にガイドさんが1人ついてとても親切にしてくれたので、初めての友人も安心して楽しめることが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

I thought it couldn't be helped if I couldn't see anything during my trip in the rainy season. As expected, the day I had reserved was canceled, but they rescheduled it for the next day, and I headed to the venue with some trepidation. Then, above me, there was a sky full of stars! The staff explained everything in a gentle tone, and I felt like I was in another world. It was a luxurious experience to come to a southern island and have such a moment.

梅雨時の旅行で 見れなくても仕方ないかと思ってました。案の定予約していた日は中止になりましたが、翌日に振り替えて頂き おそるおそる会場に向かいました。そしたら頭上には満天の星！
スタッフの方も穏やかな口調で説明して頂き なんか別世界にいるような気分になりました。南の島に来て こんな体験ができるなんて贅沢な時間でした。
