All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I was taught very clearly about the plants and scenery that are easy to overlook. I was very satisfied that I could see all the points I wanted to visit, starting with Jomon Sugi. Considering how easy it was to talk, it was definitely the right choice to have a private guide.

見逃してしまいがちな植物や景色について、非常に分かりやすく教えて頂けました。縄文杉をはじめ、行きたいポイントを漏れなく見ることが出来たのでとても満足です。話しやすさを考えると、貸し切りガイドで正解でした。

The three instructors were very kind, and we had a great time throughout. They actively took many photos for us, so even if you don't bring a camera, the instructors will take plenty of Instagram-worthy pictures for free (laughs). Even for us, who don't usually exercise at all, we could easily participate in canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling♪ I definitely recommend being thorough with sun protection! In the end, we all enjoyed the recommended pineapple juice from the instructors, making it a fulfilling activity! Thank you very much♪

インストラクターのお兄さん三人がとても優しい方々で終始楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
また、積極的に写真を沢山撮って下さるのでカメラは持ってこなくてもインスタ映えの写真をお兄さん達が無料で沢山撮ってくれます(笑)
普段運動とか全くしていない私達でもカヌーもサップもシュノーケリングも、とても手軽に参加出来ました♪
日焼け対策だけはしっかりすることをオススメします！
最後は、お兄さん達オススメのパインジュースを皆で飲んで充実したアクティビティでした！
ありがとうございました♪

The long-awaited tour of Iriomote Island.
I participated from Ishigaki Island.
The tour company contacted me the day before and on the morning of the tour, which made me feel at ease.
It was great weather, and the tour was fantastic.
Our guide, Dai-chan, was very sensitive to the presence of animals, and I was thrilled to meet my favorite lizard.
While learning a lot about the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, I enjoyed trekking while feeling the sounds and scents of nature.
The fragrance of tropical plants energized me and blew away my fatigue.
I was healed by the Pinaisara Falls, and I had a very enjoyable time.
The guide's consideration for the participants, the rental of shoes and waterproof bags, and the shower facilities were all great.
I’m glad I participated in this tour.
Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island.

念願の西表島のツアー
石垣島からの参加でした。
前日、当日の朝とツアー会社さんから案内の連絡を頂き、安心でした。
良いお天気で最高のツアーでした
ガイドのダイちゃんは動物の気配に敏感で、大好きなトカゲに会う事が出来て感激です。
西表島の動植物の事をたくさん教えて貰いながら
自然の音と香りを感じるトレッキング
南国の植物の香りで元気になり
疲れも吹き飛びます
ピナイサーラの滝で癒されて
とても楽しい時間でした。
ガイドさんの参加者への気づかい
シューズや防水バックのレンタル
シャワー設備など
このツアーに参加して良かったです
今度は西表島に泊まりたいです

The day before, I was worried about whether I could make it since I had been trekking to Jomon Sugi, but it turned out to be less difficult than I expected. It was helpful that we walked slowly according to our physical strength. Thank you very much for your support.

I felt the power of nature and the strength of life. Also, I was fully healed both mentally and physically with plenty of negative ions.

Next, I would like to try going to Taiko Rock.

前日、縄文杉トレッキングだったので
無事行けるか心配でしたが、思っていたより
険しくなくて大丈夫でした。
私達の体力に合わせて、ゆっくり歩いてくれたので
助かりました。大変お世話になりました。

自然の力、生命力の強さを感じました。
また、マイナスイオンたっぷりで
心も体もいっぱい癒してもらいました。

次は太鼓岩まで行ってみたいです。

The mountain climbing on both the first and second days was tough, but I enjoyed soaking in the negative ions. However, there was a slight discrepancy between what was written in the email and what the guide said on the day, which caused some confusion.

1日目も２日目も山登りは大変でしたが、マイナスイオンを浴びて楽しかったです。ただ、メールに書かれていることと当日ガイドさんに言われたことが少し食い違っていたので混乱しました。

The staff was polite, and the snorkeling guide, Aoi, was a fun person who provided an extraordinary experience. It was awesome!

スタッフの対応は丁寧でシュノーケリング担当の青◯クンも楽しい方で非日常感を提供してもらってサイコー！

The canoe experience, which was different from the original plan due to bad weather, was good, but I wondered if 7,500 yen for just the canoe experience on the Miyara River instead of the original river was too high. The staff were kind and helpful, but I felt disappointed because the content was significantly reduced compared to the original plan for a considerable amount of money.

天候が悪いということで当初の予定とはまったく違って、変更ツアー内容のカヌー体験はよかったのですが、川平河ではなく宮良川で7500円はカヌー体験だけでは高かったか？と思います。スタッフの方たちは親切で良かったですが、当初の予定より大幅に内容が下がったのに相当な金額ではなかったと感じましたので残念でした。

We had an amazing time during this private snorkeling tour. It was very private indeed, the instructor was always and only with us. She took a lot of pictures , knew all the good spots and lighting for good pics. Even took the dive down and took a cool silhouette picture.
The facility was well equipped with everything, nice warm shower with really good shampoo, conditioner and soap. Hair dryer and lotion, you just need to bring change of clothes and towel. Everything else they have ready for you.
The views and the ocean were amazing , even though it was raining really hard but there was no problem with the snorkeling.

I was pleasantly happy with our instructor , she was super sweet and I can’t wait to go back again for scuba diving next time.

Super recommended !!!

The weather was concerning, and the tour content changed from the original plan, but it turned out to be the best tour. The staff were very kind and the relaxed atmosphere was nice. I was able to swim smoothly while seeing many fish while snorkeling, and I was satisfied that we could also visit the Blue Cave. The shower climbing felt a bit chilly, but for those who are brave, jumping in might be a good idea. In the afternoon, due to the waves, the canoeing location was changed, but it was a good suggestion that allowed us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Progressing through the mangroves by canoe is an experience that is not easily available. I also had the opportunity to try stand-up paddleboarding, making it a tour that I enjoyed thoroughly. There was a joy that cannot be expressed in words, and I would like to participate in this tour again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

天候が不安視され、当初の予定とはツアー内容が反対になりましたが、最高のツアーとなりました。
スタッフの皆さんは非常に優しく接してくださり、堅苦しくない感じが良かったです。
シュノーケルでたくさんの魚たちを見ながら、スイスイと泳ぐことができましたし、青の洞窟に行くこともでき、満足でした。
シャワークライミングは少し肌寒い感じでしたが、勇気のある方は飛び込みをするのも良いかもしれません。
午後は波の関係もあり、カヌー場所が変更となりましたがゆっくり楽しむことのできる提案で良かったです。
カヌーでマングローブを見ながら進んでいくのは、なかなかできる体験ではありません。
SUP体験もさせていただき、全部が楽しめたツアーになりました。
文字だけでは表現できない楽しさがあり、また石垣島に来た際には参加してみたいツアーとなりました。

In mid-April, a couple in their 60s experienced the trek. The light rain improved after passing the Kosugidani settlement, and with explanations from the guide about points not included in the guidebook, we were able to complete the trek in about 10 hours without any issues. For first-time trekking to Jomon Sugi, I believe having a private guide is a must, considering physical stamina and pace management. Thank you, Yoshisune.

４月中旬の金曜日に60歳夫婦が体験してきました。霧雨も小杉谷集落を過ぎた辺りから回復して、ガイドさんからガイドブックに載っていないポイントの説明も受けながら、ほぼ10時間で順調に歩ききることができました。初めての縄文杉トレッキングでは、体力とペース配分などを考えて、貸し切りガイドはマストだと思います。吉筋さん、有り難うございました。

We went to Shiratani for hiking in the morning, followed by canoeing in the afternoon! What a great day with a great guide! Really appreciated!

朝は白谷雲水峡にハイキングしました、午後はカヌーしました。とてもよかった! ありがとうございました!
We went to Shiratani for hiking in the morning, followed by canoeing in the afternoon! What a great day with a great guide! Really appreciated!

Ito-san, the guide from Jomon Warriors, was wonderful!
The course wasn't as tough as we imagined. It was an amazing hiking experience filled with nature!

縄文戦士の伊藤さんのガイドが素晴らしかったです!
We luckily had an awesome guide called Ito-san.
The course wasn't that tough as we imagined. Amazing hiking experience with full of nature!

At the end of March, I visited Yakushima for the first time. Since my stay was limited, I decided to join a comprehensive tour! As a result, I was able to see everything I wanted in one day: the moss-covered forest, Taiko Rock, Jomon Sugi, the trolley road, and lots of moss. I breathed in the natural air and had a very satisfying day.

**Satisfaction Points**
● The ability to do so much in one go... The standard plan for Yakushima involves a 10-hour trek over two days plus a 6-hour trek... Just thinking about the fatigue on the second day is daunting. I definitely recommend doing it all in one day for 12 hours!
● Peace of mind... With a guide, the timing for breaks is perfect! The guide has been leading tours for 200 days a year and shares many interesting stories while trekking.
● Rentals available... I rented rain gear. Even though it was sunny, it was very useful (the top). I couldn't be there for the rental, but when I called the rental company for advice, they were very accommodating.

**Points to be Careful About**
● Of course, you will get tired! It's not easy! But the fun is so overwhelming that the fatigue disappears!
● This tour is not suitable for those who want to take a lot of photos... Since it's a packed itinerary, you have to trek quickly. The guide manages the time well, so there won't be stops for explanations! However, at photo points, you can take pictures freely, and the guide provides explanations while walking (you can ask if you want to know more). I had plenty of fun!
● Wear shoes that suit you!
● Battle with muscle soreness... I recommend a hot spring for that night. It feels dozens of times better than usual.

**Outfit on the Day (Late March)**
Weather on the day: It was forecasted to be cloudy, but it was clear.
● Top: Long-sleeve undershirt (Montbell) + T-shirt + rain parka (rental)
● Bottom: Hiking pants, trekking shoes
● Things I brought just in case but didn't use: Sports towel (didn't sweat), down jacket (no cold moments, only used on the bus ride back)

**Contents of My Bag**
About 2000 yen, light down jacket, two bento boxes, headlamp, two bottles of water (there's spring water at each rest area, so one bottle is enough), a lot of snacks.

**Things I Wish I Had**
Wet wipes (sometimes you want to wipe your hands after eating).

Overall, I was extremely satisfied to fully enjoy my first experience in Yakushima in just one visit!!! I want to recommend this tour to friends who are planning to go to Yakushima!

3月末に初めての屋久島。滞在日数が限られていたので思い切ってよくばりツアーに参加しました！
結果、1日で苔むすの森、太鼓岩、縄文杉、トロッコ道、苔、苔、苔、見たいものが全て見れて自然の空気をたくさん吸って大満足の1日でした。
《満足ポイント》
●なんといってもよくばれること・・・屋久島の定番プランといえば、2日に渡る10時間+6時間のトレッキング...2日目の疲労度を考えるだけでゾッとします。一度に12時間が断然お勧め！
●安心しかない ・・・案内人付きなので休憩のタイミングは絶妙！年間200日も案内しているガイドさん、トレッキングしながらお話しすると色々面白いお話聞かせてくれます。
●レンタルできる・・・レインウェアをレンタルしました。晴れててもかなり重宝しました(トップス)。レンタルにどうしても立ち会えず、レンタル会社に電話で相談した所、臨機応変に対応してくれました。

《ここ気をつけて！ポイント》
●当然疲れます！楽ではありません！だけど疲れなんぞ吹っ飛ぶほどたのしい！
●写真撮りにきてる人には向いてないツアー・・・欲張ってるのでもちろんサクサクとトレッキングしなくてはなりません。時間配分を考えながら道案内してくれるので、立ち止まってガイドはしません！だけど撮影ポイントでは自由に写真を撮らせてくれて、歩きながら説明もしてくれて(知りたければ聞けばいい)、私は十二分にたくさん楽しませてもらいました！
●自分に合った靴を履くこと！
●筋肉痛との闘い・・・この日の夜は温泉をお勧めします。いつもの数十倍気持ちいいです。

《当日の服装 3月下旬》
当日の天気：曇り予報でしたが快晴
●上：長袖肌着(モンベル)+Tシャツ+レインパーカー(レンタル)
●下：山登り用ズボン、トレッキングシューズ
●念のため持っていたけど使わなかったもの：スポーツタオル(汗をかかない)、ダウン(寒い場面がない、強いて言うなら帰りのバスで使用)

《バッグの中身》
お金2000円位、ライトダウン、弁当二個、ヘッドライト、ペットボトル2本(湧き水が休憩所ごとにあるのでもはや一本あれば十分)、大量のお菓子

《あったらよかったもの》
ウエットティッシュ(ご飯後など手を拭きたくなる時がある)

とにかく初めての屋久島を一度で満喫できて大大大満足でした！！！
屋久島に行こうとしてる友人にもこのツアーを紹介したいと思います！

I wore a long-sleeve shirt, fleece, and rain jacket, but it was quite cold. The Jomon Sugi deck was also open, so I was able to take my time taking photos and resting. I usually don't walk for long periods, but there were many other attractions besides Jomon Sugi, and I was able to enjoy walking.

長袖シャツ・フリース・レインジャケットだったのですがかなり寒かったです。縄文杉のデッキも空いていたのでゆっくり写真を撮ったり、休憩できました。普段は長時間歩くことも無いのですが、縄文杉以外の見どころも多く楽しく歩くことができました。

This time, I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time and wanted to try something I had never experienced before, so I participated in this tour. It was unfortunate that we couldn't do it at Kabira Bay due to strong winds, but the experience of seeing the mangroves at Miyara River was also very enjoyable! It was fun not only to stand but also to challenge myself with yoga SUP. Thank you very much. Next time, I will challenge myself at Kabira Bay!

今回、初めて石垣島を訪れ、今まで体験したことがないことをやりたいと思い、このツアーに参加させて頂きました。強風のため、川平湾で出来なかったのは残念でしたが、宮良川でのマングローブを見ながらの体験もとても楽しかったです！立つだけではなく、ヨガSUPにもチャレンジしたのが楽しかったです。有難うございました。次回は川平湾でチャレンジします！

We started in the rain and had some worries, but thanks to our guide, both my child and I were able to walk comfortably and safely, making it a really enjoyable 22 km. Along the way, we heard many interesting stories about Yakushima's nature, the evolution of life, history, and valuable experiences that both adults and children could enjoy. My 10-year-old son was able to walk the long distance without getting bored. The rain stopped partway through, and it was great to experience both types of weather. In the second half, the guide was especially attentive to help us maintain our focus. We were truly healed by the abundant nature, felt the presence of the giant Jomon cedar, and enjoyed interacting with others while completing the hike, making for a very happy time. In the end, my son, who had become a bit tired from the bus ride, was able to savor the joy again later. Thank you so much!!

雨の中スタートし不安もありましたが、ガイドの方のおかげで親子共々無理なく安心して歩くことができ、すごく楽しい22㎞でした。道中、屋久島の自然をはじめ、生命の進化や歴史、貴重な体験談などなど、大人も子供も楽しめる興味深い話をたくさん聞くことができ、10歳の息子も長い道のりを飽きることなく歩けました。途中から雨もあがり、両方の天気を体験できたこともすごくよかったです。後半は集中力が切れないようにとくに注意しながらガイドしてくださいました。たくさんの自然にとにかく癒され、巨大な縄文杉を実感し、人ともふれあい楽しみながら完歩でき、とても幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。最後に登山バスに酔って元気のなくなった息子もあとからまた喜びをかみしめていました。本当にありがとうございました！！

We went on a family trip with my 5-year-old son, and snorkeling is allowed from the age of 5.

The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, and it seems like many of the staff are foreign exchange students. Everyone can speak a bit of Japanese, and they are cheerful and friendly.

During the snorkeling tour, we took a short boat ride from Kabira Bay to a good spot to enter the water. The depth was quite reasonable, and we saw a variety of fish, from small to large and colorful ones. We even got lucky and spotted a sea turtle, which they said was a rare sight! We also encountered a large school of fusiliers, which was thrilling!

Talking with the cheerful staff, the kind owner, and the efficient female manager made for an enjoyable and fulfilling day!

シュノーケリングは5歳から参加OKということで、まさに5歳の息子との家族旅行で行きました。

ご家族でやっているほんわかした雰囲気で、スタッフの方は外国人留学生が多いのかな？という感じです。
みんなカタコトでも日本語は話せますし、ノリも良くて明るいです。

シュノーケルツアーでも、川平湾から少し船を走らせて、良さそうなポイントで海に入ります。割と深さもあり、小さな魚から大きな魚、カラフルな魚はもちろん、「見れたらラッキーネ！」と言われた海ガメを見ることもできました！グルクンの大群にも遭遇し感動！

明るいスタッフさん、優しい社長さん、テキパキな女将さんとの話も面白く、充実した1日が過ごせました♪

Due to strong winds on the day, we couldn't go to Kabira Bay and instead did stand-up paddleboarding in the mangrove forest. There were many guides, and I was pleased with their thorough guidance and sincere efforts. Since we had a rental car, there was a lot of flexibility regarding that as well. The guide mentioned that the mangrove forest is recommended because it seems to be more engaging than Kabira Bay.

In the afternoon, we headed to the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave seems to depend on the weather and tide, and unfortunately, it was cloudy during our visit. After that, we went snorkeling nearby, but I think the snorkeling experience was something that could also be done around Naha. The waterfall was simple but felt nice. The guides were excellent, the stand-up paddleboarding was great, and the snorkeling was neither particularly good nor bad.

当日は風が強い為、川平湾には行けずに、マングローブの森でサップを行いました。ガイドの人数も多く、丁寧な案内、かつみなさん真摯に取り組んでいただき嬉しかったです。レンタカー所持でしたのでそちらについても融通性が大変ありました。
マングローブの森もガイドさんいわく川平湾より飽きがこないみたいなのでオススメとのこと。
午後からは青い洞窟へ。
青い洞窟は天気や、潮位にもよるみたいで、我々の時は曇りであいにくの天気でした。その後は近くでシュノーケリングでしたが、シュノーケリングに関しては那覇近傍でもできるような内容かと思います。
滝についても簡単な内容でしたが、気持ちよかったです。
ガイドさん満点、サップ満点、シュノーケリングは可もなく不可もなく。

We had a wonderful experience, we had the guide just for the two of us alone! The spot where they bring you is very nice, even if there is a lot of people. We saw lots of different fishes and we enjoyed feeding them!
The guide was really great and he tryed to communicate with us in english!
We left with a lot of amazing pictures!

Thank you for responding quickly to the sudden schedule change.
I was guided by a young and cute guide with a group of five mountain girls from Kansai.
Not only did we get explanations, but we also had a lot of fun taking photos together.
At lunch, we were served warm miso soup, which helped us power up.
On the way back, I might have walked harder than ever to catch the 5:30 bus.
Everyone was able to board the bus safely.
It's a pity that I wanted to get a little closer to Jomon Sugi...
However, safety first for both Jomon Sugi and humans.

This tour was exhausting, but it was really enjoyable!♪♪

急な日程の変更にも迅速に対応していただいたき、ありがとうございました
関西の山ガール？5人組に、若くて可愛らしいガイドさんに案内していただきました
説明はもちろんですが、写真を撮ってもらったりと、とても楽しく歩けました
お昼には、温かいお味噌汁を出してくれてパワーアップできました
帰りは5時30分のバスに間に合うよう、人生で一番頑張って歩いたかも〜〜
全員、無事にバスに乗る事ができました
残念なのは、縄文杉にもう少し近くまで行きたかったなぁと…
しかし、縄文杉にも、人間にも安全第一ですね

今回のツアー、ヘロヘロにはなりましたが、とても楽しかったです♪♪

I was worried about kayaking and snorkeling because I have a 5-year-old daughter, but they were very kind and accommodating, and I am very grateful. The weather was perfect, and both the sky and the sea were incredibly blue and beautiful. They took many wonderful photos, and I was very satisfied. I definitely want to recommend this to my friends!

5歳の娘がいたのでカヤックもシュノーケルも心配してましたが、とても親切に対応してくださり大感謝です。
天気にも恵まれ空も海も真っ青で超超超きれいでした。
すてきな写真もたくさん撮ってくれて大満足でした。
友人にも是非勧めたいです！

Although I usually don't exercise much, I signed up casually, but the 22 kilometers and 10 hours and 15 minutes of perfect climbing were so hard that I almost had to retire midway. Thanks to everyone's encouragement and our local main guide, Taniyama, who carried my luggage, I was able to complete it safely! I'm just so grateful! ♪( ´▽｀)

Yakushima has rain two-thirds of the year, and the mountain weather reportedly has a low rate of clear skies, but fortunately, it was a beautiful sunny day! ♪ I canceled the half-day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo the next day due to a sore throat and heavy rain in the morning, but it was still a satisfying experience. Thank you very much.

普段、ほとんど運動をしていないのに、氣軽に申し込んでしまいましたが、22キロ、10時間15分の完璧なる登山で、あまりにハードだった為、途中でリタイアしそうに。皆さんの励ましと、地元出身のメインガイドのタニヤマさんがわたしの荷物を背負って下さったお陰で、無事にコンプリートできました！もう感謝でしかありません♪( ´▽｀)

屋久島は年間2/3が雨で、しかも山の天候は晴天率が低いらしいのですが、その日は快晴だったのもさいわいでした♪
翌日の白谷雲水峡半日の方は喉の痛みに加え、朝方豪雨だったこともありキャンセルしましたが、充分満足できる体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

I couldn't drive, and since the meeting place was within walking distance from the hotel, I signed up for this.

The shop has a bright atmosphere and is easy to enter, and the staff is friendly and approachable. There are lockers, and the guide keeps the keys with them at all times. After an explanation and changing clothes at the shop, we went to the sea by car. Since it was spring break, there were a lot of children.

Upon arrival, we entered the sea and started snorkeling to look for sea turtles with the guide. Sometimes you can see them right away, and other times you can't. On this day, we had a hard time finding them, but just when we were about to head back, we finally spotted one!

I was worried about the dangers in the sea, but the guide informed us about dangerous fish and the conditions of the waves without us having to ask, which allowed us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind.

車の運転ができず、集合場所がホテルから徒歩で行けるため、こちらに申し込みました。

お店は明るい雰囲気で入りやすく、スタッフさんは話しやすい感じです。ロッカーがあり、鍵はガイドさんがずっと持っててくれます。
お店で説明、着替えをして、車で海に行きます。春休みだったので、子供が多かったです。

到着し、海に入り、ガイドさんについて、ウミガメを探すシュノーケリング開始。すぐ会える時と会えない時と様々だそうです。
この日はなかなか会えず、そろそろ帰ろうかとなった時に会えました！

海には危険が多く心配でしたが、ガイドさんが危険な魚や波の様子など、こちらから聞かずとも教えてくださったので、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。

The guide was a great person, and I was able to walk comfortably. Even though I usually lack exercise and had surgery and hospitalization a month ago, the course was manageable for me. Next time, I would like to try going to Taiko Rock.

ガイドさんが良い感じの方で気持ち良く歩くことができました。
普段運動不足である上に１ヶ月前に手術、入院していた私でも大丈夫なコースでした。
次回は太鼓岩まで行ってみたいと思います。

I had traveled to Okinawa Main Island before, but I had never been to the outer islands, so this time I decided to go to Ishigaki Island. I wanted to enjoy the beautiful sea of the outer islands and thought about various activities. There were many attractive tours, such as waterfall tours and mangrove cruises, but I was drawn to a tour where I could experience SUP instead of a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, the most scenic spot on Ishigaki Island. I had never tried SUP before, so I was a bit anxious about whether I could do it, but since I was in Ishigaki Island, I decided to take on the challenge!

The weather was good on the day of the tour, but due to strong winds, we changed to Miyara River. It was really disappointing that we couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but the instructor guided us in a fun way, so by the time we started, my feelings of disappointment had disappeared.

While being healed by the scenery of the mangroves, I gradually got used to sitting on the paddle board. We had fun progressing while taking photos as a family!

In a slightly wider area, we practiced standing while balancing and even tried some yoga. It was fun to take pictures of everyone doing the same pose!

Miyara River was enjoyable, but next time I want to do SUP at Kabira Bay!

今まで、沖縄本島には旅行したことがありましたが、離島には行ったことがなかったので、今回は石垣島に行くことにしました。離島のきれいな海を堪能したい！と思い、何をするかいろいろ考えました。滝を巡るツアーやマングローブクルーズなど、魅力的なツアーが沢山ありましたが、石垣島で１番の景勝地である川平湾で、グラスボートではなくSUPを体験できる今回のツアーに惹かれ参加しました。今まで体験したことがなかったので、SUPができるか不安もありましたが、せっかくの石垣島なので、チャレンジすることにしました！

当日は天気は良かったのですが、風が強かったので、宮良川に変更となりました。川平湾でできなかったのは本当に残念でしたが、インストラクターの方が楽しく案内してくれたので、始めるときには残念の気持ちはなくなりました。

マングローブの景色に癒されながら、パドルに座って少しずつ慣れていきました。家族皆で写真を撮ってもらいながら、楽しく進んでいきました！

少し広いところでは、バランスを取りながら立つ練習をしたり、ヨガをやってみたりしました。皆で同じポーズを取って写真を撮ったのが楽しかったです！

宮良川も楽しかったですが、次回は川平湾でSUPをしたいと思います！

This time, since it was my first visit to Ishigaki Island, I thought a lot about what to do. I had experienced kayaking before, so I decided to try something I hadn't done yet and challenged myself to SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding)!

I wanted to do SUP at Kabira Bay, which is known for having the clearest water on Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for this tour. The weather on the day was nice, but unfortunately, the wind was strong, so the location was changed. We ended up at a river called Miyara River, which was a wide river with mangroves. The instructor, who resembled Takuya Kimura, guided us in a fun way, so while it was a shame we weren't at Kabira Bay, we were able to start off enjoyably.

At first, we paddled while sitting down and gradually got used to it. While enjoying the view of the mangroves, we lowered our stance and even tried lying down as we ventured further in. We took photos as a family, which became a nice memory. In the end, we reached a slightly wider area where we practiced balancing while standing and even did some yoga SUP. Standing was difficult at first, but with some advice, I was able to stand up for the first time during SUP! And above all, I really enjoyed yoga SUP!

On the way back, we received a lot of photo data, making it a very satisfying tour! Next time, I want to do SUP at Kabira Bay.

今回、初めて石垣島を訪れるということで、何をしようかいろいろと考えました。今までカヤックは体験したことがあったので、今回は体験したことがないことをやってみようと思い、SUPにチャレンジすることにしました！
石垣島でも１番水がきれいな川平湾でSUPをしたいと思い、今回のツアーを申し込みました。当日の天気は良かったのですが、残念ながら風が強かったので、場所が変更になりました。宮良川という川でしたが、マングローブのある広い川でした。木村拓哉似のインストラクターの方が楽しく案内をしてくれたので、川平湾でなかったのは残念でしたが、楽しく始めることができました。最初は座って進み、少しずつ慣れていきました。マングローブの景色を見ながら、体勢を低くしたり横になってみたりしながら、楽しく奥へ奥へと進みました。家族皆で写真も撮ってもらい、記念になりました。最後は少し広めのところで、バランスを取りながら立ったりヨガSUPをやったりしました。最初は立つのが難しかったですが、アドバイスをもらいながら、初めてのSUPでしたが立つことができました！そして、何よりもヨガSUPが楽しかったです！

帰りには沢山の写真データをいただき、大満足のツアーとなりました！次回は川平湾でSUPをしたいと思います。

I participated on March 25. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, followed by heavy rain, which was not ideal, but I had an amazing time regardless (^ ^). Both the SUP and snorkeling were great, but the highlight was the hospitality of the staff. They kept the conversation lively during the trip.

Additionally, they sent us photos via LINE on the same day, and there were as many as 55 pictures! It's hard to take photos of ourselves in the ocean, but thanks to them, we could fully enjoy our time. Thank you to all the staff!

3月25日に参加。天候は曇り時々晴れ、からの豪雨と決して恵まれませんでしたが、そんな状況下でも最高に楽しめました(^ ^)
SUPもシュノーケリングもよかったですが、1番はスタッフの皆さんのおもてなし。道中でも楽しい会話で盛り上げてくれました。
また、その日の内にLINEで写真を送ってくれたんですが、なんと５５枚もありました。海での写真は自分達だけではなかなか撮れないですが、お陰様で遊びに専念する事が出来ました。
スタッフの皆さんありがとう

The experience was really amazing. The guide was kind and prepared. Everything was very good organized. Unfortunately the weather was very windy and we could not reach Kerama island but we could go to another place with many corals and fish!
Next time I will go to Okinawa I will for sure repeat this experience.

This time, we went on a family trip to Ishigaki Island for my son's elementary school graduation! Since it was our first time in Ishigaki Island, we researched various activities, and since we had never tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) before, we decided to book it as the main event for our first day. We were particularly attracted to this tour that offered SUP in the famous beautiful waters of Kabira Bay, and we were looking forward to it. On the day of the event, the weather was decent, but unfortunately, due to strong winds and prioritizing safety, we had to change locations. The new location was Miyara River, but the instructor guided us in a fun way, and our spirits were lifted for the SUP experience. It was our first time trying SUP, but the instructor explained how to ride in an easy-to-understand manner, and we were able to get on smoothly! We started by sitting and paddling, gradually getting used to it. We enjoyed the scenery of the mangroves together as a family! We took many photos together, which made for wonderful memories. In the end, we moved to a different spot to enjoy it even more, standing up to paddle and even trying a bit of yoga SUP, which allowed us to have a very enjoyable time! On our way back, we received a lot of photo data, making it a highly satisfying tour. We definitely want to use this service again. Next time, we hope to go to Kabira Bay!

今回、息子の小学校卒業旅行として、家族全員で石垣島旅行に行ってきました！初めての石垣島ということで、何をしようかいろいろ調べましたが、SUPは体験したことがなかったので、ぜひやってみたいと思い、初日のメインイベントとして予約しました。特に、きれいな水で有名な川平湾でSUPができるこのツアーに魅力を感じ、楽しみにして行きました。当日、天気はまずまずだったのですが、残念ながら風が強く、安全面を重視し、場所の変更を余儀なくされました。変更先は宮良川でしたが、インストラクターの方が楽しく案内して下さり、気持ちはSUP体験に向いていきました。初めてのSUP体験でしたが、乗り方について分かりやすく教えて下さり、スムーズに乗ることができました！まずは座ってパドルをこぎ、少しずつ慣れていきました。マングローブの景色に癒されながら、家族皆で楽しめました！家族皆で、しかも沢山写真を撮っていただき、とても良い思い出になりました。最後、より楽しめるように場所を移し、立ってこいだり、少しですがヨガSUPも体験し、大変楽しいときを過ごすことができました！帰りには、沢山の写真データをいただき、大満足のツアーとなりました。ぜひ、また利用したいと思います。次回は川平湾で！

I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to swim in the sea at Cape Manzamo! I also got to see clownfish! Thank you for such a valuable experience! I was a bit disappointed that although it said towels were free, we only received two towels for three people.

青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、真栄田岬の海に入れました！クマノミを見る事も出来ました！とても貴重な経験ありがとうございました！タオル無料と書いてあったのですが、3名で申し込んで2枚しか頂けなかったところだけ残念でした。
