One staff member for every 4 to 5 people took photos for us, provided guidance and advice, and we had a great time.

They were considerate, and we were able to enjoy ourselves comfortably. It was a tour I would recommend to my friends.

I have visited Okinawa several times, but I wanted to try snorkeling in the Kerama Islands for the first time, so I joined a tour. Unfortunately, due to bad weather on the day, we had to change our snorkeling location to near the main island instead of the planned spot, which was disappointing. However, I was still able to see various fish and corals in the waters around the main island. It was also nice that I could swim relatively freely. The guides were all very kind. I understand it was due to the weather, but since we couldn't go to the Kerama Islands, I lowered my rating. I hope to try again when I come back to Okinawa.

沖縄は何度か訪れたことがありますが、初めて慶良間諸島でシュノーケリングしたいと思いツアーに参加させて頂きました。
当日天候が悪く、予定していたポイントではなく本島の近くでのシュノーケルに変更になってしまい残念でしたが、本島の海でも色々なお魚やサンゴを見ることができました。
わりと自由に泳がことができたのもよかったです。
ガイドの方もみんな親切でした。
天候のせいでしょうがないとは思いますが、慶良間諸島行けなかったので評価下げさせてもらいました。
また沖縄に来た時はリベンジしたいと思います。

This is a highly recommended tour for those who are thinking about going to Okinawa and want to enjoy the sea.

We had been wanting to swim in the waters of Okinawa for a long time, so we signed up for this tour that offers both snorkeling and diving.

The weather on the day we participated was great, and the view from the boat heading to the snorkeling spots was beautiful, with a pleasant breeze. During snorkeling, the water temperature was lower than we expected, and it took some time to get used to it, but just by putting our faces in the water, we could see colorful fish, and we were amazed by the clarity of the ocean! In diving, we were able to swim much closer to the fish and coral than during snorkeling, experiencing a world we usually can't see! We were able to swim in the sea longer than we had anticipated, so we were very satisfied.

The only downside was that my companion, who took motion sickness medication beforehand, still got seasick. The staff were very kind and helpful, but since the boat does sway, I recommend that anyone who tends to get motion sickness take medication in advance.

We also had photos taken underwater, and the service was excellent, making for wonderful memories in Okinawa! If I have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I would like to choose the same company's diving tour!

これから、沖縄へ行って、海に入りたいと考えている方には大変オススメのツアーです。

私たちは前々から沖縄の海で泳ぎたいと思っており、シュノーケリングとダイビングが一緒にできるこのツアーに申し込みをしました。

参加した日は天気が良く、ポイントまで向かう船からの眺めもとても綺麗で、風も気持ちよかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、思ったよりも水温が低く、慣れるまでに時間がかかりましたが、水面に顔をつけるだけで色とりどりの魚が見え、海の透明度に感激しました！
ダイビングでは、シュノーケリングの時よりも魚やサンゴに近い距離で泳ぐことができ、普段見ることのできない世界を体験できました！
予想していた時間よりも長く海を泳げたので、とても満足しています。

唯一、一緒に参加した彼は、事前に酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、船酔いをしていました。スタッフの方には親切に対応していただき、とても助かりましたが、船の上は揺れるので、これから参加する方で乗り物酔いする人は、必ず事前に酔い止めを飲んで行くことをおすすめします。

海の中での写真も撮っていただけ、サービスも充実しており、沖縄での良い思い出になりました！また沖縄に行く機会があれば、同社のダイビングツアーを選びたいと思います！

On the day of the tour, I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be clear and sunny, which put me in a great mood. From the welcome at the hotel to the guidance and instructions in the shop, everything was smooth and I felt at ease while changing and boarding the boat. We arrived at the point about 20 minutes after departing from the port! Before we arrived, we received thorough explanations of safety precautions and how to use the equipment, which made me feel reassured. We entered the water in groups! Thanks to the leader's solid guidance, we were able to start snorkeling with confidence! They provided explanations about the coral reefs and the fish we were swimming with, keeping us engaged at each point. The clear weather and high visibility allowed us to see schools of tropical fish, which was truly moving! They constantly checked on our well-being and even took a break for us, for which I am grateful. After the tour, we were able to use the shower on the boat right away, and there were changing rooms prepared, which made me feel secure. I definitely want to participate in this tour again. Thank you very much!

当日は天候が心配でしたが、快晴でしたので気分よく臨めました。ホテルまでの出迎えから、ショップ内での案内、指示等スムーズで安心して着替えが出来て船に乗り込むことが出来ました。港を出発して約20分位でポイントに到着！到着前に注意事項や器具の使い方等を丁寧に説明して頂き安心しました。グループに分かれて入水！リーダーがしっかりとリード して頂いたお陰で、安心してシュノーケリングスタート！珊瑚礁の説明、泳いでいる魚の説明など、私達を飽きさせることなくポイント毎に解説して頂きました。晴天で透明度も高く熱帯魚の群れも見ることができ感動しました！私達の体調を常に確認して頂き、一度休憩をいれて頂き感謝です。終了後、船内でシャワーをすぐに利用でき、更衣室も準備されており安心できました。またぜひツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I was very grateful for the shuttle service since I didn't rent a car. The staff at the shop were also kind to my child, which was great!

レンタカーを借りていなかったため、送迎付きはとてもありがたかったです。ショップの人も子供に親切にしてくださりよかったです！

I usually don't walk at all, so I was very anxious about the round trip of 22 km, but in the end, I was able to make the round trip with minimal damage. It hardly affected the Shiratani Unsuikyo tour the next day. I believe it was thanks to the guide's pacing.
Also, the guide was from Fukuoka and seemed to have studied very well, providing accurate explanations with a touch of humor, which was great.

　私は普段全く歩かないので、往復２２㎞という行程が非常に不安でしたが、結果的には、それほどダメージもなく往復することができました。翌日の白谷雲水峡ツアーにもほとんど影響は出ませんでした。やはり、ガイドさんのペース配分のおかげだと思います。
　また、ガイドさんは福岡出身の方でしたが、とてもよく勉強されているようで、ユーモアを交えた的確な説明が大変良かったです。

It was a short two-day trip, but I wanted to fully experience the nature of Iriomote Island, so I joined this tour. Canoeing, which was a first for me, was quite challenging to navigate straight, but as long as I took my time and corrected my course while stopping, it was manageable. While paddling, I could feel the wind and enjoy the scent of flowers blooming in the forest and the sounds of birds while walking to the waterfall. Not only did I get to see the magnificent nature, but I was also excited to spot various butterflies, beautiful dragonflies, colorful wild lizards, and cute fish and crabs along the riverbank. The guide and other participants were kind, making it a great experience.

Additionally, before the tour started, the guide recommended that we bring 1.5 liters of drinks for two people or 1 liter per person. I usually don't drink much water, but I found that I consumed more than I expected. There were frequent breaks for hydration during the tour. The weather on the day of the tour was cloudy, typical for just before summer, but since it will get hotter, I think it's a good idea to bring plenty of drinks.

１泊２日の短い旅行でしたが、西表島の自然をめいいっぱい体験したくてこのツアーに参加しました。初体験のカヌーは、まっすぐ進むのがなかなか難しかったのですが、焦らず止まりながら軌道修正しながら進めば大丈夫でした。カヌーに乗りながら風を感じたり、滝へ歩いている途中に森に咲く花の匂いや鳥の声を感じることができました。壮大な自然だけでなく、行く先々でさまざまな蝶々や綺麗な川トンボ、色鮮やかな野生のトカゲ、川辺に住むかわいい動作の魚やカニを見れたのがとてもワクワクしました。ガイドさんもほかの参加者も親切でいい体験になりました。
あと、ツアー開始前の準備時に飲み物は二人で1.5リットル、もしくは１人１リットルをガイドさんから推奨されました。普段あまり水分を摂らないのですが予想以上に飲み物が減りました。ツアー中頻繁に水分補給の時間は設けてくれていました。ツアー当日は夏本番前の曇りがちの天候でしたが、これから暑くなるので飲み物は多めに持っていくのが良いかと思います。

We participated in the morning half-day snorkeling plan as a couple! We changed into wetsuits at the shop, boarded the boat, received various explanations, and arrived near Kerama Islands in about 20 minutes! However, the boat was quite rocky due to the weather, so motion sickness medication was a must. But the actual snorkeling spot had calm waves, and we thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling! The staff guided us to beautiful spots, took photos underwater, and even brought us starfish, which was really nice! I was hoping to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, we weren't lucky this time, so I want to try again! Next, I definitely want to challenge myself with diving!

半日プランの午前の部にシュノーケルで、2人で参加しました！
ショップでウエットスーツに着替えて、船に乗って色々な説明を受け、20分ほどで慶良間島付近に着きました！
ただ乗船中は天候のせいもあってかかなり揺れたので、酔い止め必須でした。。
ですが実際海に入る場所は波もおだやかで、シュノーケリングをとっても満喫できました♪
スタッフさんがついてくれて、キレイなスポットに誘導してくれたり、潜って水中から写真をとってくれたり、ヒトデをとってきてくれたり笑、とてもよくしてもらいました！
本当はウミガメが見れたらいいなと思っていたのですが、今回は運が良くなかったのでまたリベンジしたいと思います！
そして次はダイビングに是非チャレンジしたいです！

Thank you for taking care of me during my trip! Although I mentioned that I didn't need a wetsuit, it was cloudy during the snorkeling, and it was very cold on the return boat. I should have asked to bring the wetsuit on board even if I didn't wear it. Thank you very much.

GWお世話になりました！自分からウェット不要と申しでたものの、シュノーケル時点で曇り空、帰りの船上も非常に寒かったので、ウェット着用しなくとも船に持ち込ませて頂く様にすればよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

From Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island for the first time. I took the ferry from Ishigaki to Uehara Port, but I got quite seasick. Since I stayed for one night, I recovered by the next day's tour, and the guide came to pick me up at the hotel. They were very attentive, listening to my concerns about the return ferry even in the car, and they had a bright and friendly demeanor. The weather was perfect for canoe trekking that day, and the guide explained the canoeing instructions clearly before we set off. As we slowly paddled in the canoe, we arrived at the jungle.

During the trekking, the guide shared various stories, and they were very cheerful and friendly, making the climb enjoyable. There were five participants, including myself, and the guide was considerate of everyone while leading the tour, sharing interesting information about Iriomote Island and creating a pleasant atmosphere. They also took great photos. For lunch, we had handmade soki soba, and during snack time, we enjoyed the guide's homemade purple sweet potato mochi and tea, which were delicious! Eating soki soba outdoors was the best, and I felt that this tour allowed me to experience nature and was a wonderful experience overall. Among the various tour companies, I was really glad to have participated in this company's tour, and I fell in love with Iriomote. Finally, they drove me to Uehara Port, and they continued to worry about my seasickness until the end, even remembering the right timing for me to take motion sickness medication... Thank you very much!

石垣島から初の西表島へ。
石垣～上島港行きの船に乗りましたが、かなりの船酔いしてしまい、1泊滞在だったので翌日のツアーで体調は回復し、ホテルまでガイドの方が迎えにきてくださりました。私が帰りの船を心配していたのを、車の中でも親身に聞いてくださり、明るく対応してくれる印象でした。当日はカヌートレッキングするには最高の天気で、まずガイドさんがカヌーのレクチャーを分かりやすく説明してくれてから、いよいよ出発です。カヌーでゆっくりと進みながら、ジャングルに到着です。
トレッキング中はガイドさんが色んな話をしてくださり、とても明るく気さくで、楽しく登ることができました。私を含め5人の参加者がいましたが、みんなにとても気遣いをしながらツアーを進めていて、西表島の事や色んな話をして楽しく、和やかに進めてくれるガイドさんでした。そして、写真も上手に撮ってくれます。お昼は手作りのソーキそば、おやつの時間にはガイドさんの手作り紅芋のおもちとお茶も頂きとても美味しかったです！外で食べるソーキそばは最高で、今回のツアーは自然を味わえ、とてもいい経験ができたと思います。色んなツアー会社がある中で、私はこの会社のツアーに参加できて本当に良かったなと思いました。そして西表が好きになりました。そして最後は上原港まで車で送ってくれましたが、最後まで私の船酔いを心配してくださり、酔い止めの薬を飲むタイミングまでちゃんと覚えてくれて...本当にありがとうございました。

Since our family of four (ages 66, 60, 27, and 25) had very little mountain climbing experience, we decided to hire a private guide. Before arriving in Yakushima, we were a bit surprised to learn that our guide would be a foreigner, but we were looking forward to it. On the morning of the hike, Jennifer, who came to pick us up at the hotel, was a wonderful woman who spoke fluent Japanese and was full of love for Yakushima. As we walked at our own pace, she taught us about fragrant leaves and suggested that soaking our feet in the cold river water would relieve our tiredness. Our daughters were also able to take their time to take photos, making the private guide experience truly worthwhile.

I think this course was just right in terms of distance and time for acclimatizing us for the following day's trek to Jomon Sugi. The clear weather also made it perfect for trekking beginners.

家族4人（66,60,27,25才）登山経験がほとんどなかったので　こちらの貸切ガイドをお願いしました。
屋久島入りする前に私達のガイドさんが外国の方だと知り　ちょっとびっくりしましたが楽しみにしていました。当日の朝、ホテルに迎えにきてくださったジェニファーさんは　日本語ペラペラで、屋久島大好きにあふれた明るい素敵な女性でした。私達のペースに合わせて歩きながら　いい香りのする葉っぱを教えてもらったり　冷たい川の水の足を浸したら足の疲れがいっぺんにとれるよと教えてもらったり、　娘達もゆっくり写真を撮ることができて貸切ガイドは本当によかったです。
このコースは距離も時間も長すぎないので　翌日の縄文杉への足ならしにちょうどよかったと思います。晴れだったこともありトレッキング初心者にはピッタリでした。　

Thank you for your assistance before Golden Week. This was my third experience diving at the Blue Cave in Bali, so I will compare this experience with the others.

With the "11 consecutive years of top ratings in specialized magazines," my expectations may have been too high. I will be a bit critical, but I will share my honest thoughts.

I think the large boat is recommended for groups. The staff at the reception shop also sell various items, making it very good for those doing fun diving as well.

This is just my personal opinion, but last year when I booked at another shop for the Blue Cave, we had a private experience and could take our time. The large boat here allows you to take a warm shower right after getting in the water, which is nice, but due to environmental protection considerations, I was aware beforehand that shampoo and body soap are prohibited. Also, you must throw used toilet paper in the trash can next to the toilet instead of flushing it.

The changing room is just for changing, so if women want to take their time to do their makeup afterward, it might be difficult. I think this has its pros and cons, so if you want to take a leisurely shower and dry your hair with a hairdryer, I recommend a shop where you can do that. Also, if you dislike clutter, this might not be the place for you. Since it’s a popular shop, I assume there are many people from Asia as well.

The instructor's response was very good. Kerama was beautiful.

Comparing it to my experiences in Bali and at the Blue Cave, I didn't feel like I swam much, possibly due to the pinpoint spots. I had the impression that I swam for a long time during my time at the Blue Cave, although I didn't time it. The photos taken were, sorry to say, not as good as the last time. There were moments when I wondered if that was us.

The beauty might depend on the weather, but I didn't have an extremely beautiful impression. So, I skipped snorkeling for one of the three spots and relaxed on the boat.

This is just my experience in comparison, so I think first-timers will enjoy it!

GW前にお世話になりました。
バリ・青の洞窟と今回3回目の体験ダイビングでした。
なので今回の体験談は他と比較します。

『専門誌11年連続1位評価』という事で
期待値が高すぎたのかもしれません。
多少辛口にはなりますが思ったままで。

大型船なので団体の方にはおススメだと思います♪
受付のお店の方も、SHOPとして色々な物が売っているので
ファンダイビングの方にもとても良いと思います♪

個人的な感想にはなってしまいますが
去年、青の洞窟の時は他店で予約しましたが
貸切でとてもゆっくり出来ました。
こちらの大型船は海に入ったあとすぐ温かいシャワーが浴びれるのは良いですが、【環境保護の配慮で使用禁止は当然事前に承知の上ですが】船上の為パサパサした髪をシャンプー・ボディーソープ一切使用出来ません。
トイレも当然使用したペーパーは一緒に流さず横のゴミ箱に捨てます。

更衣室も着替えるくらいで女性の方は終わった後出掛けるとかならゆっくりメイクはまず無理でしょう。
これは良し悪しがあると思うので、
ゆっくりシャワーを浴びて髪もドライヤーで乾かして…とかなら
店舗にて出来るお店をおススメします。
あとゴチャゴチャしてるのが嫌な方も。
人気のお店なので当然アジアの方も沢山居ると思います。

インストラクターの方の対応はとても良かったです。
慶良間も綺麗でした。

バリ島と青の洞窟の時と比較してですが
スポットがピンポイントのせいか
あまり泳いだ感じはしませんでした。
特に青の洞窟の時は長い時間泳げた印象でした。時間は計った訳ではないですが。
撮っていただいた写真も、ごめんなさい前回と比べてイマイチでした。
これ、自分たち？ってのもあるし(^^;;

綺麗さは天候もあるかもですが、
極端に綺麗という印象もなかったかな？
なので3本中1本シュノーケリングはやらず船でゆっくりしました。

あくまでも比較してでの体験談ですので
初めてやられる方は楽しめるかと思います！

I had originally planned to experience snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but it was canceled due to weather conditions, so I signed up again for a second attempt. However, on the day of the experience, the rainy season began, and I was worried that it might be canceled again due to the rain. Fortunately, I received a message that the conditions at the site were calm, and we could snorkel without any issues, which made me very happy.

The guide was fantastic, and I was able to see the wonderful Blue Cave and enjoy time with the fish. We took many great underwater photos, and right after landing, they transferred the pictures to my iPhone, giving me a lot of memorable photos.

I was able to achieve the best revenge experience. Thank you very much.

以前に青の洞窟へシュノーケリングを体験する予定でしたが、天候の影響で中止となり、今回リベンジで体験を申し込みました。しかしながら当日に梅雨入りとなり、雨も降り出しまたもまさかの中止？と心配していましたが、ポイントは穏やかな波で問題なくシュノーケリングが出来ると連絡を頂き嬉しかったです。
案内してくださった方も最高の方で、素晴らしい青の洞窟を見せて頂き、魚たちと楽しむことが出来ました。水中撮影も沢山良い写真を撮って頂き、上陸後直ぐにiPhoneに転送して頂き、沢山の思い出の写真を頂きました。
最高のリベンジを果たすことができました。
ありがとうございました。

We participated as a couple.
I was excited about my first visit to Iriomote Island, but unfortunately, it was raining and there was thunder, so I thought it might be canceled. However, we started a bit later than planned.
We could choose between a single or double kayak, and I decided to challenge myself with a double kayak with my husband.
It had been a while since I last kayaked, and I found it difficult to go straight. The other participants were foreigners who were very skilled and paddled at an impressive speed, making it hard for us to keep up.
The trekking was more challenging than I expected, but even for a couple like us who don't usually exercise much, we managed to reach the top.
Our guide shared various stories about the history and plants of Iriomote Island, which conveyed the island's charm and made it very interesting.
When we went to the waterfall basin, the weather cleared up completely, and the other participants were swimming in the basin.
It was still cold in April, but it seemed refreshing and pleasant. I slightly regretted not joining them.
On the way back, we were able to paddle comfortably under clear skies.
Even the kayaking in the heavy rain on the way there turned out to be fun in its own way, making it a very enjoyable and fulfilling day.
This trip became my best memory, and I want to visit Iriomote Island many more times!

夫婦での参加でした
初めての西表島にドキドキでしたが　
あいにくの雨、雷も鳴って
中止になってしまうかと思われましたが
少し時間を遅らせてのスタートでした
カヌーは一人乗りか二人乗りが選べ
私は主人と二人乗りに挑戦しました　
久しぶりのカヌーはなかなか真っ直ぐ進みません
他の参加者の方は外国人の方で
とても上手く、すごいスピードで
ついて行くのにやっとでした
トレッキングは思ったより険しい道のりでしたが、普段あまり運動のしない
私達夫婦でも登りきることができました
ガイドさんが西表島の歴史や植物の話など
様々なお話をしてくださり、
西表島の魅力が伝わってきて面白かったです
滝つぼに行くときには
完全に晴れ、私以外の参加者は
滝つぼで泳いでいました
4月なのでまだまだ寒いですが、
さっぱりして気持ちよかったようです
私も入れば良かったと少し後悔。
帰りのカヌーは晴天の中
気持ち良く漕ぐ事ができました
行きの大雨の中のカヌーも
これはこれで楽しかったなぁと思え
とても楽しく充実した1日になりました
この旅行で一番の思い出になり、
西表島にまた何度でも行きたくなります！

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island. I was picked up at Uehara Port on Iriomote Island and joined the other participants.

Our guide was Daichan Asano. He was a charming and handsome guy who casually talked to us and provided thorough explanations!

I felt a connection when I discovered that there was someone from my hometown among the participants.

We started with a mangrove canoe ride. It was just right for my husband and me to ride together. I think it would have been quite hard to do it alone. We did it as a pair, and the next day I had just the right amount of muscle soreness. I guess I'm out of shape, haha.

Next, we went trekking up to the waterfall. We are in our early 30s and late 20s, and it was just a bit challenging, but totally within our limits! Those who lack stamina might find it tough.

The view from the top of the waterfall was outstanding! The lunch that Daichan prepared was delicious!

We then descended the same path to the base of the waterfall. This was the most refreshing part!! I recommend bringing swimwear or clothes that can get wet!!

We jumped in and floated while looking up at the waterfall... Daichan took all the photos for us, so I didn't have to worry about taking pictures myself. It's dangerous to take photos with a camera or smartphone near the water...

I used this opportunity for my honeymoon, and I was very satisfied since I was looking for an active plan like this.

For my first honeymoon, I spent a month and a half in South America, doing a mountain biking tour on the Death Road in La Paz and visiting Machu Picchu and Uyuni. This experience was just as memorable.

Iriomote Island is amazing!! Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island as the main destination.

石垣島から日帰りで参加しました。
西表島の上原港でピックアップしてもらい他の参加者さんと合流。

ガイドは浅野大ちゃん。
可愛らしい感じのイケメンで、気さくに話しかけてくれたり、
説明もしっかりしていただきました！

参加者さんの中にまさかの同郷の方がいて縁を感じました。

出発して、はじめはマングローブカヌー。
旦那と２人乗りで、ちょうどよかったです。
1人だとなかなかハードだったかと思います。
2人でやって翌日ほど良い筋肉痛です。運動不足ですね笑

そして次は、トレッキングで滝上へ。
私たちは30台前半と20代後半ですが、
ちょっとしんどいかな？って程度で全然許容範囲内でした！
体力のない人はしんどく感じるかな？

滝上からの眺めは抜群！
大ちゃんが用意してくださったランチおいしかったです！

また来た道を今度は下って滝つぼへ。
これが一番気持ちよかったです！！
水着や濡れてもよい服を持っていくことをおすすめします！！

飛び込んだり滝を見上げながらプカプカ浮かんだり…
大ちゃんが全部写真に収めてくださったので、
自分で写真を撮らなくてよかったです。
水場でカメラやスマホで撮影は危険なので…

今回新婚旅行での利用でしたが、
こんな感じにアクティブなプランを探していたので大満足です。

初婚の時の新婚旅行が、1か月半の南米で
マチュピチュとかラパスのデスロードのマウンテンバイクツアーや
ウユニだったのですが、
それと同じくらいに思い出に残りました。

西表島すごい！！
今度は西表島メインで泊まりたいです。

I had a very good experience.
I participated on May 4th during Golden Week. The day before it rained and the maximum temperature was 22 degrees, which was quite chilly, but on the day of the experience, we were blessed with good weather and the temperature was around 25 degrees.
It took about an hour to reach the marine house from the hotel in Onna Village, and the staff at the reception were very friendly, which heightened my expectations.
We took a shuttle bus to the boat, and after about 20 minutes of sailing, we arrived at the dive point. During that time, we received a lecture and then it was finally time to dive.
Each instructor was assigned to every two groups. The explanations while snorkeling were easy to understand and enjoyable.
There were about five or six other tour boats around us. We dived for 30 minutes, took a break, and then dived again for another 30 minutes. There weren't a lot of fish, but it was still enjoyable.
After finishing, we took a shower on the boat, and once everyone was done, we returned to the port.
If you're staying at a hotel in Naha, they provide shuttle service.
This time, it was a half-day course with a 1 PM meeting time and we wrapped up around 4:45 PM.
It seems there are various other tours available, so I would like to participate again.

とても良い体験が出来ました。
5月４日ゴールデンウィークに体験しました。前日は雨で最高気温22度でかなり肌寒かったのですが体験 当日天気にも恵まれて気温も25度位でした。
当日恩納村のホテルから一時間程でマリンハウス到着、受付のstaffの対応もとても良く期待も膨らみます。
送迎バスで船まで行き出航20程でポイント到着、その間レクチャーを受けいよいよダイブです。
二組に１人のインストラクターがついてくれます。ｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞしながらの説明も解りやすく楽しめました。
回りにもツアーの船が5.6隻来ていました。ダイブは30分して休憩してまた30分、お魚さんはそれほどいっぱいいる感じではありませんがそれなりに楽しめました。
終わると船内でシャワーをして皆が終わるとみなとに戻ります。
那覇のホテルなら送迎してくれます。
今回は半日コースで1時集合で4:45分位解散でした。
他にも色々なツアーがあるみたいなのでまた参加したいと想います。

This was my third time snorkeling in the Blue Cave, and it was the most fun I've ever had! The instructor, Riku, was friendly, kind, and a really great person. We had more swimming time compared to tours that go by boat, and we saw a lot of fish! They also called me in advance, which made me feel at ease about coming. Additionally, the photos they took were all wonderful, and I was really happy with them! My husband was snorkeling for the first time, and he enjoyed it so much that he mentioned wanting to try diving next time! Thank you very much!

青の洞窟でシュノーケリングをするのは3回目でしたが、今までで一番楽しかったです！
インストラクターのりくさんは、気さくで親切でとてもいい方でしたし、ボートで行くツアーなどよりも泳ぎの時間が長く、お魚が沢山みれました！事前にお電話もいただけたので、安心して伺うことができました！また、撮っていただいた、写真がステキな写真ばかりで嬉しかったです♩主人は初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても楽しんでいて、次はダイビングをしたいと話していました！ありがとうございました

We participated as a pair during the second half of Golden Week. We used a vacation rental, but they picked us up from a nearby hotel at the designated time. It seems they offer free transportation from hotels in Naha City, which was very convenient.

The weather on the day was cloudy, and I was worried it wouldn't be warm enough, but since we wore wetsuits, we didn't freeze and had a great time.

During the experience, we were able to move around quite freely. We were able to see corals and fish very close up, making it a valuable experience. It was a thoroughly satisfying experience and service.

ゴールデンウィーク後半に２人で参加しました。民泊を利用していましたが、指定の時間に近くのホテルに迎えに来ていただきました。那覇市内のホテルなら無料で送迎していただけるらしく、とても便利でした。

当日の天気は曇りで気温もあまり高くなかったため寒くないか不安でしたが、ウェットスーツを着るので凍えることもなく楽しめました。

体験中はかなり自由に周りを動けました。サンゴも魚もかなり近くに見えるスポットで、貴重な体験が出来ました。
大満足の内容、サービスでした。

I thought it was reckless for our family of four, with almost no mountain climbing experience, to challenge Jomon Sugi, so we requested a private guide. I figured that with a private tour, if it became physically too difficult, we could turn back at any time. As a 60-year-old mother, I was a bit tired from the previous day's trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo, and by the time we passed the trolley path, the uphill climb became tough. I was contemplating when to declare my surrender, but our guide, Mr. Fujiyama, was always attentive, frequently stopping to show us rare plants and sharing his extensive knowledge about plant names and Yakushima, keeping us thoroughly engaged.

During the ascent, we were overtaken by many people from behind, and before we knew it, we had become part of the last group. However, incredibly, we all managed to reach Jomon Sugi together! Because we didn’t push ourselves too hard on the way up, we were able to easily catch up with those in front of us on the descent, taking our time to take photos, and we even made it onto the 5:30 bus! Personally, I preferred the Ohkubo Sugi and Wilson stump, but achieving my wish to see Jomon Sugi, especially since we came all the way to Yakushima, was entirely thanks to our guide assessing our stamina and pacing the climb appropriately. Our whole family was moved by this experience. Trekking without a professional guide would have been a huge waste. It was definitely the right decision to request a private guide. Thank you so much, Mr. Fujiyama, for being a wonderful guide.

On that day (May 5), it was sunny all day, but even with an Airism undershirt, short-sleeve sports shirt, down vest, cotton shirt, and rented rainwear, it was still cold in the morning. (Recommendation: I started renting trekking poles, and I think that made things much easier. Even though it was May, I also recommend Megurizumu for those who are sensitive to the cold. I used two patches, and they provided a gentle warmth that was convenient since I could remove them if I got too hot.)

ほとんど登山経験なしの私達家族4人が　縄文杉にチャレンジするのは無謀かと思いこちらの貸切ガイドをお願いしました。プライベートツアーなら体力的に無理だったら途中で引き返せると思ったからです。60歳の私(母)は　前日の白谷雲水峡トレッキングの疲れも少しあったのか　トロッコ道を過ぎた頃から早々に登り道がつらくて　どこでギブアップ宣言をしようかと考えながらだったのですが、ガイドの藤山さんは始終 後ろを気配りながら　こまめに足を止めて珍しい植物を見せてくれたり、植物の名前、屋久島のことなどに限らず知識も話題も豊富で楽しくて私達をぜんぜん飽きさせません。登り時　後ろからくる人たちにどんどん追い越されていき　いつの間にか　ほぼ最後尾のグループになっていましたが　それでも最終的には信じられないことに全員揃って縄文杉まで辿り着くことができました。そして登り時に無理しなかったぶん　下りはすいすい前の人たちに追いつき　ゆっくりと写真を撮っていただいたりしながらも　なんと5時半のバスに乗れました!!　個人的には大王杉やウィルソン株のほうが好きでしたが、せっかく屋久島まで来たんだから縄文杉を見てみたいという希みを達成できたのは　ひとえにガイドさんが私達の体力を見極めて登りは無理しないペース配分を考えてくださったおかげだと家族全員感動しています。プロのガイドなしのトレッキングでは絶対もったいないです。貸切ガイドをお願いして正解でした。藤山さん、素晴らしいガイドを本当にありがとうございました。

この日（5/5）は一日中快晴でしたが、エアリズムの肌着、半袖スポーツシャツ、ダウンベスト、綿シャツ、レンタルしたレインウェアを着こんでも　午前中は寒かったです。（お奨め品：私はストックを始めてレンタルしましたが　これでずいぶん楽だったように思います。5月でしたが、寒がりのかたにはめぐりズムもお奨めします。私は2枚貼ってましたが、カイロよりゆるい温かさで　暑くなれば剥がせばいいので便利です。）

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, the wind and rain were strong, and I was quite anxious about my first canoe experience. However, upon arriving at Iriomote Island and receiving an explanation, my worries faded as the rain stopped just as we started paddling.

Under the guidance of our instructor, Mr. Iwamoto, we smoothly progressed into a mangrove forest. We learned about the differences between two types of roots, as well as the flowers and buds, followed by a break.

We then headed further upstream.

After getting off the canoe, we crawled up a narrow, steep slope for about 20 minutes and arrived at the Pinaisara Falls. I was surprised to hear that it has a drop of 55 meters.

After a break, we descended carefully to avoid slipping and falling. My thighs were feeling weak... I was healed by the species that inspired Ultraman, and we made our way back to the canoe launch point.

On the return trip, the tide was low, revealing sandy areas in places. We had to be careful not to get stuck in the shallows and to resist the current, but we finally arrived.

With a full course of activities including the sea, river, mountain climbing, waterfalls, and canoeing, it was a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

石垣島を出港する時は風雨が強く初めてのカヌー体験かなり不安でしたが、西表島に着き説明を受け、カヌーを漕ぎ出すころには雨が止み不安は払拭。

ガイドの岩本さんの指導のもと、順調に進むとマングローブの森に。2種類の根の違いや花や芽の説明を聞き、ブレークタイム。
さらに川の上流へ。

カヌーを降り、狭く急な斜面を這うように登ること20分、ピナイサーラの滝へ到着。
落差が55mと聞き驚き。

休憩後、滑って滑落しないように下山。
太ももにチカラが入らない…
ウルトラマンのモデルになった種で癒され、カヌー乗り場へ。

戻りは潮が引き、所々砂地が。浅瀬に乗り上げないように潮の流れに負けないように、やっと
到着。

海、川、山登り、滝、カヌー、フルコースのアクティビティで満腹、楽しい体験でした。

Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the waves, but Mr. Osaka, who is from Hokkaido and lives in Okinawa, still entertained us. I was very satisfied!

残念ながら波の影響で青の洞窟へは行けませんでしたがそれでも北海道出身の沖縄在住の大阪さんが楽しませてくれました。
大変満足しました！

I participated in this tour during Golden Week!

The scenery of Iriomote Island was very impressive, and there were many things that moved me instinctively. I'm really glad I went.

Above all, the guide who led the tour was very interesting and knowledgeable, teaching us various things. I felt completely at ease and enjoyed the day with them!

If I have the chance to go again, I definitely want to repeat this experience! The windmills were amazing!!!!

ゴールデンウィークにこのツアーに参加させて
いただきました！

西表島の景色はとても迫力があってなにより本能から感動するものが多々あり本当に行ってよかったと思います。

なによりツアーを担当してくださったガイドの方がとても面白い方で物知りでいろんなことを教えていただき一日一緒にいて心から安心して楽しむことのできる方でした！！

また行くことがあったら必ずリピートしたいと思います！
風車最高！！！！！！

The weather was clear, and I thought it would be a perfect night for stargazing, but the bright full moon made it difficult to see the stars...!

The boat was not too big, and since there were seats on the first and second floors, I chose a seat on the second floor. After departing, we stopped offshore, and the guide began his narration. I was able to hear many interesting stories about constellations, the islands, and some fun trivia. In the second half of the cruise, there was a live performance of the sanshin, and I enjoyed a romantic and peaceful time with the sound of the waves and the starry sky.

Although it was a short time, it was a satisfying cruise without any boredom. The second-floor seats felt a bit chilly, so I recommend bringing a light jacket even in summer.

Also, since the boat was moving, it might be difficult to take photos with a slow shutter speed. Of course, nothing came out well on my smartphone... haha.

The price felt a bit high for the duration, but the night cruise with hotel pickup from the city center is recommended since it's hard to do on your own! By the way, my hotel was in Kawahira, so there was no pickup for me. Tears.

天気は晴れて、絶好の星空日和と思いきや、満月の輝きに恵まれてしまい、満点の星空とはいきませんでした…！

船は大きすぎず、一階と二階があったので二階の席を選びました。出発してしばらくして、沖の方で停船してお兄さんの案内が始まります。
星座のお話、島のお話、ちょっとした豆知識など、面白い話をたくさん聞くことができました。クルーズの後半は三線の生演奏があり、波の音と星空とロマンチックで穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。

短い時間でしたが、退屈することもなく満足なクルーズでした。二階席は風が少し冷たく感じるので、夏でも薄手の上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。

また、船が動くのでシャッタースピードを落とした撮影は難しいかも。もちろんスマホにも何も映りませんでした…笑

時間の割にお値段は高く感じますが、市街地ホテル送迎ありのナイトクルーズは自力では難しいのでおススメです！
ちなみに、私のホテルは川平の方でしたので送迎はありませんでした。涙

I challenged myself to trek to Jomon Sugi with my husband. I was a bit anxious about walking for about 10 hours, but we made it safely! (I usually run lightly once a week.)

For the first three hours, we walked along the trolley path. However, with the guide's stories and the thrilling suspension bridge (which is quite high above a river), I never got bored.

The remaining two hours were on mountain trails, and while I was a bit out of breath at times, I wasn't gasping for air. I was moved by the grandeur of Jomon Sugi! During our lunch break, the guide made miso soup for us, which was such a nice touch.

It rained a little, but it seemed to enhance the moss, making it even more beautiful. After descending, we all stretched our bodies, and perhaps because of that, I didn't feel much pain the next day, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing in Yakushima.

主人と縄文杉トレッキングに挑戦。
約10時間歩くということで不安もありましたが、無事歩ききりました！（普段は週一で軽くランニングする程度）
最初の3時間程度はトロッコ道をひたすら歩きます。
が、ガイドさんのお話や、途中の吊り橋（下が川で高さも結構ある）がヒヤヒヤしたりとで、飽きることはありません。
残り2時間程度は山道で少し息が切れる事もありますが、ゼエゼエいうことはありません。
縄文杉の壮大さに感動しました！
途中のランチの際にはガイドさんがお味噌汁を作ってくれました、嬉しいですね、こういうのは。
雨が少し降っていましたが、苔が潤って、かえって良かったようです。
下山後、全員で体をほぐしたのですが、その効果があったのか次の日もさほど体が痛くなることもなく、屋久島観光を楽しむことができました。

It was truly a fulfilling experience, and the afterglow of the tour was amazing; I had a lot of fun!

I understood why Shiretoko became a World Heritage site through the explanations of its ecosystem, the breathtaking views that need no explanation, and the extraordinary experience of exploring animal trails. Everything was impressive.

It was also an opportunity to learn the importance of "experiencing to remember." I would like to participate again in a different season!

本当に充実した内容で、
ツアー後の余韻もすごく、楽しかったです！

知床がなぜ世界遺産になったのか、
その理由がわかるような生態系の説明、
説明いらずの絶景、
非日常的な獣道探索、
全てが印象的です。

“体験して覚える”大切さを学ぶ機会にもなりました。
季節を変えて、また参加したいと思います！

I went to Jomon Sugi. It was the peak of the Golden Week holiday, but thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we had an early pickup at 4 AM. As a result, we were the first at the trailhead and could start our ascent smoothly.

The 10-hour trek was tough, but with regular breaks and the reassurance from our guide, we were able to safely visit Jomon Sugi and return.

Fortunately, we had a sunny day, but it seems like it often rains, so rain gear is essential. Also, snacks are a must!!! It seems that moving around burns a lot of energy, and I ended up eating more snacks than I expected.

While it's possible to go without a guide, I think it's safer for those who are not used to hiking to go with one.

縄文杉までいきました。ゴールデンウイークの超繁忙期でしたが、ガイドさんの機転で、予定より速い４時ピックアップ。お陰で登山口一番乗りで、スムーズに登り始められました。
計10時間のトレッキングはきつかったですが、適度に休憩をいれてくれたのと、ガイドさんの安心感とで、無事に縄文杉を拝んで返ってくることができました。
幸い私たちは晴れた日でしたが、雨の日もおおいみたいなので、レインウエア必須です。あとおやつも必携！！！動いてるとエネルギー消費が激しいのか、予想よりたくさんおやつ食べました。
ガイドさんなしでいくこともできますが、登山になれていないかたは、ガイドさんと一緒の方が安心だと思います。

I rarely have the opportunity to go to the very edge like Cape Hedo, so I think those who love exploring the farthest places would want to aim for it. The weather was great, which made it even better. I also worked hard to trek two courses at the Oishi Forest Mountain. There are four courses in total. I thoroughly enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium as well. The scene of the whale shark being fed was quite impressive. I also watched the dolphin show. Oki-chan (the dolphin) was lively. Three hours flew by just like that. Due to traffic during the holiday, we were delayed by an hour, but they made sure to keep the schedule intact without cutting anything. However, there was little time for lunch, and some items were sold out or had stopped taking orders, which was a bit disappointing. Just getting to Kunigami was enough for me...

なかなか辺戸岬のような端まで行く機会がなかったので，最果てめぐりが好きな人は目指しだがるのではないでしょうか？天気も良かったので最高でした。大石林山のトレッキングも頑張って2コースまわりました。4コースあります。美ら海水族館も十分堪能しました。ジンベイザメの餌を食べるシーンはなかなかでした。イルカのショーも見ました。おきちゃん（イルカ），元気でした。これだけで3時間なんてあっという間でした。連休の渋滞で，時間が1時間ずれ込みましたがどこもカットされず，しっかり時間を確保してくださいました。ただ昼食は時間が少なく，sold outになっていたりオーダーストップがかかっていたりとちょっと残念。国頭まで行けただけで十分かな...

The trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo, starting early in the morning before boarding the high-speed boat at noon, was fantastic thanks to the favorable weather. I will never forget the exhilarating moment when I reached Taiko Rock after the tough final climb covered in moss. The view was breathtaking.

お昼の高速船に乗る前に早朝からの白谷雲水峡の、トレッキングは天候にも恵まれ最高でした。苔で覆われた杉最後の登りがきつかった太鼓岩にたどり着いた時の絶叫、絶景は忘れられません

I used it on the busiest day of Golden Week, but I was able to easily reach the trailhead by chartered bus. The trekking on the trolley path was quite tough, but with encouragement, I managed to reach Jomon Sugi.

GWの1番混んでいる日に利用しましたが貸切のバスで楽々登山口まで行けました。トレッキングはトロッコ道がかなり辛かったけれど励ましてもらいながらなんとか縄文杉に辿り着く事が出来ました

In the morning, I visited Shiratani Unsuikyo, and in the afternoon, I went to Wilson Stump and Jomon Sugi. It was an ambitious course, so I was initially anxious, but the local veteran guide was very kind. The timing was precise, and we arrived almost exactly at the times he communicated. He considered our pacing, so even someone like me, who isn't used to hiking, was able to finish while staying hydrated and nourished. He clearly communicated what not to do, which helped me understand the importance of the rules of the mountains, making it a valuable learning experience. I recommend it for those who are confident in their physical fitness. I don't have a habit of walking, but I usually practice yoga and do moderate aerobic exercise about twice a month. Just for reference.

午前中に白谷雲水峡、午後はウィルソン株、縄文杉のコースでした。欲張りコースなので、始めは不安でしたが、地元のベテランガイドさんがとても親切でした。時間配分が正確で伝えてくれた時間にはほぼ正確に到着していました。ペース配分を考えてくれているので、山慣れしていない私でも水分栄養補給しながら終えることができました。してはいけないことなどもはっきり伝えてくださるので、山のルールの大切さがわかりよい学びにもなりました。体力に自信のある方はお勧めです。私はウォーキングの習慣はありませんが、普段は日常的にヨガ、中度レベルの有酸素運動を月2回ほど行っています。参考までに。
