All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

This was my first time participating in a mangrove kayaking tour. The instructor was kind and had a wonderful smile, making for a fun experience! While paddling the kayak, I was able to hear various stories and never felt bored. They also took photos for us and sent the photo data afterward.

今回初めてマングローブカヤックに参加しました。
担当のインストラクターさんは優しく笑顔がステキで、楽しい時間を過ごせました！
カヤックを漕ぎながら色々お話を聞けて退屈することもなく、お写真も撮っていただいて写真のデータも送っていただけました。

In my case, there were no other participants, and it was basically sports. The guide, Mr. Suzuki, adjusts the course and pace according to the participants. At each destination, I was able to enjoy adventurous elements, such as peering into a mystical pond, encountering a pheasant, and finding a deer skull.

私の場合、他に参加者はなく基本的にスポーツでした。ガイドの鈴木さんは、参加者に合わせてコースやペースをアレンジしてくれます。
行く先々で、幻想的な池を覗き込んだり、キジに出くわしたり、鹿の頭蓋骨があったりと、冒険的な要素があって楽しむことができました。

As the typhoon approached, I signed up at the last minute, but due to strong winds, we switched to canyoning. Following the reliable Captain Macchan, we made our way through the forest, descending to the river to jump off rocks and slide down like on a slide. It was a fun activity with a sense of unity as we cheered each other on with other groups! We also took lots of photos and videos, creating wonderful memories of Iriomote Island!

In the afternoon, we had a course set for Yufu Island, but unfortunately, it was temporarily closed due to the typhoon. When I consulted with Captain Macchan, he suggested a tour around Iriomote Island. Thanks to him, we were able to explore every corner of Iriomote Island, which turned out to be great! Thank you for your flexible support.

I’ll come back to play again when the weather is nice!

台風接近中で様子を見ながらギリギリで申し込んだところ、風が強くてキャニオニングに変更になりました。
頼もしいまっちゃん隊長に続き森の中を進みながら、川に降りて岩の上から飛び込んだり滑り台みたいに滑ったり。
他のグループの人とも掛け声を掛け合ったりと、一体感があり楽しいアクティビティでした！
たくさん写真や動画も撮ってくれて、西表島の楽しい思い出が残せました！

午後から由布島もセットのコースでしたが、台風のためなんと臨時休園。
まっちゃん隊長に相談したら、西表島周遊ツアーを提案してくれました。おかげで西表島の隅から隅まで見て回ることができて逆によかったかも？！
柔軟にご対応いただきありがとうございました。

また、天気が良い時に遊びに来ますね！

Although the location changed due to bad weather, we had a great time snorkeling and even got to see sea turtles! The handsome guide with a refreshing smile explained everything clearly, which was wonderful! 👍

悪天候で場所は変わりましたが楽しくシュノーケリングができウミガメも見ることができました！
爽やか笑顔のイケメン兄さんガイドでわかりやすく説明してくれてよかったです👍

I signed up for a half-day course that included SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but I was informed the day before that it was canceled due to not reaching the required number of participants. Since I had other plans in the afternoon, I reluctantly changed to the half-day SUP course. It was disappointing not to go to the Blue Cave, but I was surprisingly able to stand up easily and had a lot of fun. During the shuttle, they also recommended some great restaurants, and all the places were delicious, making for a wonderful trip.

SUPと青の洞窟シュノーケルが半日にできるコースを申し込んだのですが、前日に人数に達してないため、開催されないと連絡が…。
午後から別の予定が決まっていたので、仕方なく半日のSUPコースに変更しました。
青の洞窟に行けなかったのは残念でしたが、意外に簡単に立つこともできて、とても楽しかったです。
送迎の時にオススメのご飯屋さんなども教えていただき、どのお店もとても美味しくいい旅行になりました。

The staff were all very cheerful and kind, and I was able to experience everything without any worries! Choosing the one-day course was definitely the right decision! I was very satisfied! I will definitely use your services again when I visit Okinawa!

スタッフの方々は皆さんとても明るく親切で何も不安なく体験する事が出来ました！1日コースにして正解でした！大満足！また沖縄へ行った際は必ず利用させていただきます！

The captain was a foreigner. At first, I was a bit anxious, but he spoke well and kept cracking dad jokes, making it as enjoyable as Jetstar. The Blue Cave was more beautiful and impressive than I expected!! On the way back, my son got sick, but the captain was very considerate, which made me feel very relieved. I highly recommend this. Thank you, captain!

船長さんは外国人の方でした。最初は不安もありましたが、言葉は上手だし親父ギャグを連発、ジェットスターみたいに楽しませてくれました。青の洞窟も思ってたより綺麗で圧巻！！帰り息子の体調悪くなってしまったけど、気遣ってくれてとても安心しました。とてもオススメです。船長さん、ありがとうございました。

We visited during the day with our family of four (two brothers aged 10 and 6) before watching the night game at Escon.

First, we went out to Lake Shikotsu for a commemorative photo with the magnificent scenery as a backdrop. However, there were some waves, so we later enjoyed ourselves on the Chitose River.

The beautiful emerald green Chitose River had a gentle current, and the kids were thrilled to experience the fun of steering their own boats! As we had plans for the evening, it was also a relief for us parents not to get too worn out. (On the Chitose River, you can also enjoy peering into the clear bottom.)

The soft serve ice cream from Iwase Farm, recommended by our guide, and the cheese potato mochi we had while looking at the lake were exceptional and very soothing! (I was glad we didn’t eat at the airport!)

We also received videos of fish swimming underwater, and they provided a complete set of rain gear, boots, and life jackets for the kids free of charge. It was truly attentive service. I felt that we should have taken more time to relax at Lake Shikotsu; I highly recommend it!

エスコンでナイター観戦日の昼間に家族4名(10歳、6歳の兄弟)で伺いました。

始めに支笏湖に出て雄大な景色をバックに記念撮影、ただやはり波があり、その後は千歳川で楽しみました。

綺麗なエメラルドグリーンの千歳川は流れが穏やかで、子ども達は自力で操縦する楽しさを体験できとても盛り上がっていました！夜予定があったので親としても腕がバリバリにならずに済んだのも助かりました。(千歳川だと透明な底を覗き込むのも満喫できます)

湖を見ながら食べた、ガイドのお兄さんオススメの岩瀬牧場のソフトクリームと、チーズいももちも格別で癒されました！(空港で食べなくて良かったと思ったほど笑)

水中を泳いでいる魚の動画も頂いたり、子供用の上下合羽と長靴、ライフジャケットも一式無料で貸して頂けたり、至れり尽くせりです。もっと時間をとって良かったなと感じた程、支笏湖のんびり出来てオススメです！

I participated in snorkeling, sea kayaking, and the Pumpkin Cave experience. All the activities were wonderful, but the Pumpkin Cave was a unique experience that you can only have here! I was moved by the opportunity to feel the mysteries of nature up close. The guide was also very attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Miyako Island!

シュノーケリング、シーカヤック、パンプキン鍾乳洞の体験に参加しました。
どのアクティビティも素晴らしかったですが、特にパンプキン鍾乳洞はここでしか味わえない唯一無二の体験！
自然の神秘を間近に感じられて感動しました。
ガイドさんも丁寧で安心して楽しめました。宮古島を訪れる方にぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！

We participated as a couple.
As for the experience, we first gathered and learned how to paddle the canoe. The instructor, who had moved from Osaka, taught us patiently. It seems that capsizing is quite rare. On the day we experienced it, the waves were calm, and we were able to paddle the canoe comfortably without capsizing. It was also great that the instructor took photos during the experience, so we didn't have to bring our smartphones.
Instead of following a set course, we had the experience of freely cruising around the bay. There were two groups of participants for one instructor, so there was no particular worry about being left unattended.
We had a very enjoyable canoeing experience! Next, I want to try SUP!

夫婦で参加しました。
体験の中身としては、集合して初めに舟の漕ぎ方を習いました。大阪から移住したというインストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただけました。舟が転覆することは滅多にないそうです。実際に体験した日も波が穏やかで、転覆することもなく気持ちよくカヌーを漕げました。インストラクターの方に体験中の写真を撮ってもらえるため、スマホを持っていかずに済むこともありがたい点でした。
コースに沿って進むというものではなく、自由に湾内を遊覧するという体験でした。1名のインストラクターに対し2組の参加グループだったので、目を離される心配も特にありませんでした。
とても楽しいカヌー体験ができました！次はSUPにも挑戦してみたいです！

I was quite anxious on my first trip to Yakushima, but thanks to our veteran guide, I was able to enjoy the journey to Jomon Sugi immensely. Thank you for sharing the history and the beauty of Yakushima with humor! I felt reassured as I could rely on the guide for pacing and rest stops. 🥳 I was also grateful that the guide actively took photos for us. The picture of the Wilson stump that looks like a heart 🩷 was taken from a perfect angle by the guide. 🥹 It truly became the best memory.

I've fallen in love with Yakushima! I want to go back again!!

初めての屋久島で色々不安でしたが、ベテランのガイドさんのおかげですごく楽しく縄文杉まで行くことができました。
ユーモアを交えながら屋久島の歴史や自然の素晴らしさを伝えてくださってありがとうございました！
ペース配分や休憩をとる場所も任せられるので安心してついて行けました🥳
写真もガイドさんが積極的に撮ってくださってありがたかったです☺️ウィルソン株の🩷に見える写真もガイドさんがバッチリいい角度から撮ってくれました🥹
本当に最高の思い出になりました。

屋久島が大好きになりました！また行きたいと思います！！

I quit my job and came to Yakushima for a two-month vacation. It's been over a decade since my last visit. Last time, I relied on a friend and didn't know much about Yakushima, so this time I did a bit of studying beforehand.

The first thing I can say is that taking a tour to see Jomon Sugi was definitely the right choice. The guide who accompanied us shared so much knowledge about Yakushima, which was very educational. The two women who joined us were also quite fit, so we were able to enjoy the tour without any difficulty while walking!

Thank you very much!

会社を退職して、2ヶ月の有休を満喫するため、十数年ぶりの屋久島に来ました。
前回は友人任せで、ほとんど屋久島を知らなかったので、今回は少し勉強して来ました。
最初に言えることは、縄文杉はツアーにして大正解でした。今回案内していただいたガイドさんは、屋久島を余すことなく教えていただいたので、とても勉強になりました。一緒に同行された女性2人も体力があり、歩いていて苦にならずにツアーを満喫できました！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the rising canoe and Blue Cave snorkeling tour from the morning. The mangrove canoe experience was honestly mediocre. We were asked to help load the canoes onto a truck and transport them to the river, which felt off since we were paying for the tour. I think the operators need to make some improvements. The person in charge was doing their best and was likable, but the course to see the mangroves was short and lacked any explanations, leaving me completely unsatisfied. Additionally, although it was a sunrise tour, there were hotels built in the spot where the sun rises, so we couldn't see it.

Overall, I cannot recommend the mangrove canoe tour.

Now for my thoughts on the Blue Cave snorkeling tour. The weather was great, making it an amazing experience. On the day of the tour, the water was very clear, and I could see quite deep. I encountered a clownfish and even two sea turtles! I was able to see many beautiful fish as well. I've done snorkeling and diving in various places, but this level of snorkeling is incredible! The guide, Ryotaro, was very pleasant and entertaining. He engaged with all the participants in the car, sharing recommendations for restaurants and interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, which left a good impression. I absolutely recommend this tour! It can be affected by the weather, but if it's sunny, it's the best!

朝からのライジングカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
マングローブカヌーは、正直微妙でした。
川にエントリーするためのカヌーを参加者男性でトラックに乗せて、降ろして川まで運ぶ作業を手伝わされます。
お金を払ってツアー参加してるのに、、
なんだかな、、という感じでした。
運営側の工夫が必要だと思いました。
担当の方は頑張っていて好感を持てました。ただ、マングローブを見るコースは短く解説なども無いため全く物足りないです。またサンライズツアーですが、日が昇る場所にホテルが建っていて上がるところは見られません。
総合的にマングローブカヌーツアーは、私はおススメ出来ません。

ここから青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーの感想です。
天気にも恵まれ最高の体験となりました。
当日は、海の透明度も高くかなり深くまで目視できました。
隠れクマノミにも海亀にも遭遇できました。しかも、海亀は2匹！！
その他にも沢山のお魚が綺麗に見る事ができました。
色々な場所でシュノーケルやダイビングをしてきましたが、シュノーケルでこのレベルは凄いです！
ガイドのリョウタロウさんも大変感じ良く楽しませてくれました。
車中でも参加者皆んなに話しかけ、オススメのお店の紹介や石垣島豆知識を話してくれるなど、楽しませようとする姿勢が好印象でした。
こちらのツアーは、絶対オススメです！
天候にも左右されますが晴れたら最高です。

I was worried about the mangrove canoe tour in the light rain, but it was actually the best!
Even though it was July, it wasn't too hot or too cold, and the river flow was gentle, allowing us to enjoy canoeing very comfortably.
During the bus ride and throughout the tour, our guides Yume and Yumi taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, mangroves, and the creatures that inhabit the area, which was very educational!
Both adults and elementary school children were extremely satisfied.
Thank you! 🥺

小雨の中でのマングローブカヌーツアーで心配していましたが、むしろ最高でした！
７月なのに暑くなく寒くなく、川の流れも穏やかで、とても快適にカヌーを楽しむことができました。
バスの中やツアー中は、ガイドのゆめさんとゆみさんが西表島のこと、マングローブのこと、生息している生き物のこと等色々教えてくれて非常に勉強になりました！
大人はもちろん、小学生の子どもも大満足です。
ありがとうございました🥺

The staff actively engaged with us from the time we gathered, and their pleasant demeanor, including the international staff, made the snorkeling guide enjoyable. However, it was overcrowded. About 90% of the guests were international, and there weren't enough seats on the boat; we couldn't even sit on the ground in the shade and had to sit in a crouched position in the sun. After returning from snorkeling, before even waiting for our turn for the restroom and shower, it felt like we were trying to take off our fins in a crowded train on the Yamanote Line. When we finally got back on the boat, a staff member told us to "take off your wetsuits," but among many larger international guests, I felt a bit unsteady as arms, shoulders, and legs brushed against me, and a kind staff member supported me.

スタッフの皆さんは、集合の時から積極的に声をかけてくれ、海外スタッフも含めて気持ちのいい対応で、シュノーケルのガイドも楽しかったです。
ただ、詰め込み過ぎです。
９割がた海外のお客様でしたが、船内は座る座席も足らないどころか、影になる地べたにも座れず、日の当たるところで体育座りでした。
シュノーケルから帰っても、トイレ・シャワーの順番待ち以前に、足ひれを脱ぐのも山手線の電車の中の感じでやっとでした。
最後に船に上がった時も、スタッフの方から「ウェットスーツを脱いで」と言われましたが、多くの海外の体格のいい人の中で、腕が当たる肩が当たる足が当たるでヨロけたところ、やさしいスタッフが支えてくれました。

I participated in a snorkeling tour from 9 AM on July 5th. It was lucky that there were only the two of us, a couple, and one instructor. They pulled the banana boat to the point with a jet ski, and it felt cool with the wind. The weather was nice, and there were many fish, which were very beautiful. The instructor mentioned that it was rare to see so many fish in one day. The reason for three stars is that we were only on the water for about 40 minutes, and the total time was just under an hour, which felt a bit insufficient.

7/5の9時からシュノーケルツアーに参加しました。私達夫婦２人だけにインストラクターが1人の参加者だったのでラッキーでした。
バナナボートを水上バイクでポイントまで引っ張って行ってくれます、風をはらむと涼しく感じます。
天気も良く魚群も多くてとても綺麗でした。
インストラクターもこんなに魚が多い日も珍しいとの事。
星三つの理由は海上にいた時間が40分程度で全体でも１時間弱だったので物足りなく感じてしまったからです。

I had a wonderful time with the guide, Soma, during the activities! He always shared interesting trivia, making the activity tour full of new discoveries! We kayaked to the Pumpkin Cave, and kayaking was fun; even during a little wait, he took photos and chatted with us! It was my first time at the Pumpkin Cave, and it was very mystical, allowing me to truly appreciate the wonders of nature. During the snorkeling tour in the afternoon, he frequently checked in with us, which made the experience feel safe and enjoyable! He took many beautiful photos, and I was glad to be with Soma's team! I would love to join this tour again when I visit Miyako Island!

ガイドをしてくださった、そーまっするさんのもとで、素敵なアクティビティの時間を過ごせました！
常に面白い豆知識を教えてくださり、常に新しい発見があるアクティビティツアーでした！
カヤックを漕いでパンプキン鍾乳洞へ行きましたが、カヤックも楽しく、ちょっと待ち時間があったときも写真を撮ってくださったり、話をしてくださりました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞は初めて行きましたが、とても神秘的で自然の凄さを実感しました。
午後からのシュノーケルツアーも頻繁に声をかけてくださって、安心して体験することができました！
写真も素敵にたくさん撮ってくださって、そーまっするさんチームで良かったです！
また宮古島に行ったときには参加したいツアーです！

The visibility was high, and it was great to see a lot of fish. When I fed them, they came very close, which was a bit surprising. Overall, the instructor was kind, and it turned out to be a fun snorkeling experience! I would like to use this service again.

透明度が高く、魚もたくさん見れて良かったです。餌をあげたらとても近い距離に寄ってきてちょっと驚きましたが、、
全体としてはインストラクターの方も優しくて楽しいシュノーケルになりました！！
また利用させていただきたいです。

The weather was nice, and I was able to forget about my everyday life and enjoy myself. Everything was new for the children, making it a wonderful experience for them as well. The tour staff from pipi were very kind and cheerful, and I had a great time. Thank you to our guide Shogo and Kenken, who took care of us during the night tour the day before, for the wonderful time!

天気も良く、普段の日常を忘れて楽しめました。
子供たちにとっても全てが初めてのものばかりでとてもいい体験になりました。
pipiのツアースタッフの方もとても親切で明るく、楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
ガイドの省吾さん、前日のナイトツアーでお世話になったケンケンさん、素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

It was completely different from what I expected. It was a three-hour course with quite a bit of ups and downs, and I was definitely tired afterward. The guide shared various information along the way. I heard that it snows in winter as well. It went by so quickly; I think I could have gone a bit further. I feel like I was able to recharge my energy in nature.

全然思ってたものと違ってました。
結構アップダウンもあり3時間コースでしたがしっかり疲れました。
道中ガイドさんが色々な情報を教えてくれました。冬は雪も積もるそうで。
あっという間で、もう少し先まで進んでもよかったかな。
自然の中に入りパワー補給できたと思います。

The guide's time management was excellent! I'm really glad we requested a guide! On June 30th, I participated with three classmates. The rainy season ended early, and it was a day without a drop of rain. As a 60-year-old beginner, I was full of anxiety, but thanks to our handsome guide, Ando, I was able to meet Jomon Sugi and complete the tour safely.

He encouraged us to push through on the way there and made sure to pause at points on the way back to prevent any injuries, reminding us to be careful. His attentive reminders were greatly appreciated in situations where I felt overwhelmed. The miso soup during lunch was comforting and delicious!

He created some extra time on the way back, allowing us to enjoy nature while icing our feet in the river! He even treated us to coffee, which was an incredibly luxurious experience. Thank you so much for that! He took a lot of great photos, and his photography skills were impressive!

When I selfishly pointed out, "There should be a handrail here," he replied, "We're intruding in nature after all," which made me feel a bit embarrassed. Hearing about the times when it didn't rain and the forest suffered made me reflect on how nature is deteriorating. I want to keep in mind that I can do small things to help. The forests of Yakushima have a mysterious power. I feel like I've been purified and have become a slightly better person! After two or three days, I already want to go back again.

ガイドさんの時間配分最高？
ガイドさんをお願いして本当に良かったです！6/30に同級生3人で参加しました。
早めに梅雨が明け、雨が一滴も降らない１日でした。
60歳初心者で不安だらけでしたが、ガイドのイケメン安藤さんのお陰で縄文杉にも会えて無事終了する事が出来ました。
私たちの様子をみて往路を頑張り、復路は怪我がないようポイントでは一度立ち止まり、注意を促して下さいました。
危ないと思っても頭が回らない状況に、細やかな声掛けはありがたかったです。
昼食時のお味噌汁も沁みました！美味しかったです！
復路で余裕を作って下さったので、川に足をつけてアイシングしながら自然を満喫！
その中でコーヒーまでご馳走してくれました。最高に贅沢な時間をありがとうございます^_^
写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。さすがに撮り方も上手くていい写真ばかりでした！
自分本位に「ここに手すりがあるば」と言ったら「あくまで自然の中にお邪魔してますよ」と言われ恥ずかしくなりました。
雨が降らず森が枯渇した事があった話を聞き、自然が壊れてきてる事を改めて考えさせられました。
小さい事でも自分に出来る事を心がけたいと思ってます。
屋久島の森は不思議な力があります。
浄化されて少しいい人間になれた気がします！2、3日経ったらまた行きたくなってます。

It was my first experience with SUP, but I was able to ride better than I expected, and the views were amazing! The staff were all really nice, and they were kind and reassuring to beginners, so if you're going, I recommend choosing this place!

SUP初体験だったけど、思ったより乗れて絶景で最高でした！
スタッフさんもみんないい人で
初心者にも優しく安心できるので行くならここにした方がいいです！！

It was a sunny day, but I felt refreshed by the breeze blowing over the surface of the Hija River during this exhilarating tour. Before we started kayaking, we received instructions and training on how to operate the kayak on land, so I was a bit worried about whether I would be able to paddle well. However, once we actually began paddling, I found that even if I was a bit awkward at first, by the end of the two-hour tour, I felt like a kayaking master.

The allure of this tour wasn't just the mangroves and kayaking; thanks to our guide's explanations, we were able to experience the nature of the Hija River by spotting hibiscus flowers along the riverbank, gobies hopping around the tidal flats, and crabs scuttling about. Towards the end of the tour, we were introduced to a rock that had cannonballs still embedded in it, and we learned that the area around the Hija River was scorched during the war, with all the mangroves and trees we see today being less than 80 years old. This made it a tour that also conveyed the intensity of the Battle of Okinawa.

When I shared photos from this tour with our children's family, they expressed a strong desire to participate when they visit Okinawa. I highly recommend this tour!

日差しが強い日でしたが、比謝川の水面を吹く風にすがすがしさを感じる爽快なツアーでした。
カヤックを漕ぎ出す前に陸上でカヤックの操作の説明と訓練をするだけなので、うまく漕げるか漕ぎ出す前は心配でしたが、「習うより慣れろ」で実際に漕ぎ始めると、最初は少々ぎこちなくても2時間のツアーの終わりころにはカヤックマスターの気分で漕いでいました。
マングローブとカヤックだけがこのツアーの魅力ではなく、ガイドさんの説明で川辺のハイビスカスや干潟を跳ねるハゼ、そこを動き回るカニたちを見つけて比謝川の自然を感じることもできるツアーでした。
ツアーの終わり頃、水面に顔を出した岩に今も残る砲弾の紹介を受けたり、戦争の際に比謝川周辺は焼け野原になって今目にするマングローブや木々たちの樹齢はすべて８０年未満だとの説明を受けると、当時の沖縄戦の凄まじさを感じるツアーでもありました。
私たちの子供たちの家族に写真入りでこのツアーを紹介すると沖縄旅行の際にはぜひ参加したいと返事がありました。
このツアーはお勧めですよ。

The sunset was very beautiful, and I was able to spend a relaxing time. The guide was also kind, which was great. However, it was unclear about the age restrictions for SUP when I signed up, so I changed from solo SUP to canoeing at the last minute. I hope they can improve the way the age requirements are displayed so that it's easier to understand.

夕日がとても綺麗でゆったりした時間を過ごせました。ガイドさんも親切でよかったです。ただ、申し込むときにSUPの年齢制限がわかりにくかったので、直前に一人SUPからカヌーに変更しました。対象年齢がすぐわかるよう表示の仕方を改善してもらえたらと思います。

I was able to see a very beautiful sunset. I also received a lot of photo data. It was a bit disappointing that some of the pictures had what looked like water droplets on them. I recommend the optional drone photography, as it captures the appearance of floating over the clear sea.

とても綺麗な夕日が見られました。写真のデータもたくさんもらえました。何枚か水滴？のようなものが付いていて、残念でしたが。オプションのドローン撮影は、透明な海に浮かぶ姿を撮ってもらえるので、オススメです

This activity will definitely be a valuable experience! I believe that the quality of the activity largely depends on the guide, and Tetsu, our guide, was a handsome guy with a wonderful smile (though I know that might not mean much coming from an older man). I heard he moved from Osaka, so he understands the feelings of outsiders, but he also had deep knowledge about Miyako Island. He kept the conversation lively on the way from the meeting point to the sea.

Once we got into the water, Tetsu was incredibly reliable. He joined my 8-year-old son and me in the canoe, which made us feel safe as we headed towards the cave. The inside of the cave was truly mystical. The pumpkin-shaped formations were amazing, and the deeper cave could easily be compared to Pamukkale or Huanglong in Miyako Island.

While being guided through the cave, we learned that the interior is a very precious natural formation, and we were able to pay our respects. Since it is such a valuable natural product, there is a possibility that it may eventually become a protected area. However, under the guidance of our guide, I hope that many people can have wonderful experiences while preserving the natural beauty. Thank you, Tetsu!

このアクティビティは間違いなく貴重な体験になると思います！
アクティビティは、内容もさながらガイドの方に依るところが大きいと思うのですが、
ガイドのてっちゃんは、笑顔の素敵なイケメンでした(おっさんに言われてもでしょうけど)
聞けば大阪から移住とのことで、外の人の気持ちもわかってくれながらも、宮古島についても含蓄があり、集合場所から海までの道中もトークで盛り上げてくれました。
海に入ってからのてっちゃんは頼もしいの一言で、
8歳の息子とカヌーに同乗してもらい安心して洞窟に向かいました。
洞窟の中は大変神秘的でした。
パンプキンはもちろんのこと、奥の洞窟は
さしずめ宮古島のパムッカレか黄龍か。
内部は大変貴重な自然の造形だという案内だということをレクチャーしてもらいながら、お詣りさせていただきました。
とても貴重な自然の産物なので、いつかは保護地区ということになってしまう可能性はありますが、ガイドの方の指導の下自然美を保護しながら、
いろんな方が素晴らしい体験をできることを願っています。
てっちゃんありがとう！

There was moonlight, but I was able to enjoy seeing the Milky Way for the first time under a starry sky that was bright enough to see. As the visible stars changed with the clouds, the guide's stories about the stars were also wonderful, perfectly timed with what we could see.

月明かりがありましたが、十分に見える星空で初めて天の川を見ることができ楽しめました。雲で見える星が変わっていくなか、見えるタイミングに合わせてガイドさんの星にまつわるお話しも見事でした。

Mangrove tour was nice but I found it a bit short and it would have been nice to have some comments on the environment.
Phanthom island tour was really cool though. Some comments about sea life, good communication, beautiful places. Could also have snorkelled a bit longer. 😉
Nice tour after all with nice people.

Even someone at the edge of the age limit like me was able to swim with the sea turtles comfortably.

Yama-chan's thorough explanations, consideration for our well-being, and the importance of enjoying the experience were all wonderful. Hikaru-kun took many photos and introduced us to recommended spots in Miyako Island.

I am truly grateful to both of them. For those who have concerns about age or physical fitness, rest assured that there are careful explanations and supervision, so you will be fine.

Definitely give it a try!

I was nervous about trying stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but the staff were kind and taught us well!

They kept a perfect distance, not too close and not too far, allowing us to enjoy our time and take it slow while paddleboarding 🌈🌈

The drone footage was also stunning, and I was happy to receive it for free!

初めてのサップで出来るか不安でしたがスタッフの方が優しく教えてくれます！

近すぎず遠すぎずで見てくれるので自分たちの時間もありゆっくりサップを楽しむことができました🌈🌈

ドローンもすごく綺麗な映像で無料でもらえて嬉しいです！
