All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

On the only day with a forecast for clear weather during our stay of continuous rain, I made a reservation for an activity that would be okay to do even if it rained. Unfortunately, it started to rain at the beginning, and I thought we would get soaked, but the rain stopped midway, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. I participated with my foreign husband, and he enjoyed paddling the kayak.

Having experienced the mangroves in Iriomote Island, I couldn't help but compare, and I wished for a bit more of the wild and adventurous feeling. It's an easy activity, so it might be good for families with children or for those who want to do a little activity. Also, I heard that someone had dropped their smartphone a few days prior, so I was scared of dropping mine and didn't bring it, which made me wish I could have taken more photos.

雨続きの中の滞在で唯一の晴れ予報の日に、万が一濡れても良いアクティビティをと思い、予約しました。残念ながら、始まりの時に雨が降り始め、びしょ濡れになるかと思いきや、途中で雨はやみ、楽しむことができました。外国人の夫と参加しましたが、彼はカヤックを漕ぐことを楽しんでました。
西表島のマングローブを経験したことがあったので、どうしても比べてしまい、野生感とアドベンチャー感をもう少し味わいたかったです。お手軽なので、お子様連れや少しアクティビティをしたい人には良いかもしれません。あと、スマホを数日前に落とした人がいたと聞いたため、落とすのが怖くて持参しなかったため、もう少し多く写真を撮ってもえたらうれしかったです。

I was attended to by a super handsome person with both looks and a kind heart! A trainee also accompanied us and kindly supported us when we faced difficulties.

During snorkeling, I was able to encounter sea turtles, which was truly moving 🥹. They also shared stories about the island's culture, landmarks, and helpful information during our breaks.

I highly recommend this to everyone going to Miyako Island! Thank you, Tecchan!

見た目もハートもスーパーイケメンな方に担当して頂きました！
研修中の方も同行していただき、困ったときは優しくフォローしてくれました。

シュノーケリングでは海亀とも遭遇できて感動🥹
また合間合間で島の文化や名所、耳寄りな情報などのお話もして頂きました。

宮古島に行く皆様にオススメしたいです！てっちゃんありがとう〜！

It was a fantastic tour! I learned a lot about the jungle and the starry sky; it was very informative. The guide spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly, so I felt comfortable throughout the experience. We were able to see a sky full of stars just like the one shown in the pictures I uploaded.

とても素晴らしいツアーでした！ガイドさんは英語がとても上手で、説明もわかりやすく安心して参加できました。
星が綺麗に見え、空も澄んでいてとても良かったです。

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

The jungle at midnight can be scary to visit alone, but going with a group completely eliminates that fear and satisfies your curiosity. If you want to go but feel it's dark and frightening, I highly recommend a group tour!

真夜中のジャングルは、一人で行くには怖いですが、団体だから行くと恐怖心は全くなく、好奇心を満たしてくれます。
行きたいけど、暗いし怖いしという方は、団体ツアーおすすめです！

My first SUP experience, the tour through the mangroves allowed me to feel nature and refresh from within! The water buffalo had flowers wrapped around their horns, looking so cute! It was a wonderful healing trip, and I am very satisfied! ♪

人生初のsup、マングローブで自然を感じながらのツアーは体の中からリフレッシュできました！
水牛もツノにお花を巻いていて、可愛い見た目をしていました！
素晴らしい癒しの旅行となり、大満足です♪

4 nights and 5 days
It was my first time in Miyako Island, and it was truly, truly amazing! ☺️
I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling, but it was still a lot of fun! 👍 The guide was very polite and made the tour enjoyable.
Next time, I want to extend my stay and have even more fun! 😊 Looking forward to the next visit! 🙋‍♂️

4泊5日
初めての宮古島だったのですが
本当に本当に最高過ぎました☺️
シュノーケルでは亀を見る事は出来なかったですが💦楽しかったです👍ガイドの方も凄く丁寧で楽しくツアーに参加出来ました。
次はもっと宿泊数を増やして楽しみたいと思います😊次回もよろしくお願いします🙋‍♂️

I received great help from our guide, Yuuri. Their service spirit was abundant and it was enjoyable. Thank you very much. It's a shame we couldn't see the sea turtles, but that's nature, so it can't be helped. If I have the chance to come to Miyako Island again, I would like to try again.

ガイドのユウリさんに大変お世話になりました。サービス精神が多めで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。ウミガメが見れなくて残念でしたが、これは自然のものなので仕方がないです。宮古島に来ることがあればまたチャレンジしたいです。

I felt the fresh air of the mangrove forest and the energy of this unique place. Thank you for providing a valuable experience that cannot be enjoyed in the city. The instructors were all kind and attentive, so I highly recommend it.

マングローブの森の新鮮な空気と独特な場所が持つエネルギーを感じました。
都会では味わえない貴重な体験をさせて頂きありがとうございます。
インストラクターの人も親切で丁寧な人ばかりなのでオススメです。

I was very satisfied to participate in the sea kayaking this time! The guide's stories were very interesting, and I enjoyed my first experiences with canoeing and the limestone caves! If I have the opportunity again, I would like to participate! Thank you, the handsome guide Tetsu! Thank you for taking so many photos as well!

この度はシーカヤックに参加させていただきとても満足することができました！
ガイドさんの話もとても興味深くカヌー、鍾乳洞と初めての体験で楽しむことができました！また機会がありましたら参加してみたいと思います！イケメンガイドさんのてっちゃん！ありがとうございました！！写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがとうございました！

On the day of the clear SUP, the weather wasn't very good at first, but still, the feeling of paddling on the Miyako Blue sea was amazing. The instructor and all the staff were friendly and kind, and I had a really enjoyable time. Thank you very much.

クリアサップ当日、最初は天気があまり良くなかったですが、それでも宮古ブルーの海面をSUPで進む気分は最高でした。
インストラクターのお兄さんをはじめスタッフの皆さんが気さく&親切でとても楽しい一時を過ごす事ができました。
有り難うございました。

The weather was unfortunately not great on the day of the tour, and I was worried if it would still take place, but as the guide said, the sea was calm and there were no issues at all. The Pumpkin Cave was truly mystical and beautiful. I was able to purify myself with holy water, which felt refreshing.

The snorkeling was cold, but they took us to a great spot, and I even got to see a sea turtle. The guide, Yuuri, dove in and took a photo with a bubble ring. We were supposed to go stand-up paddleboarding next, but I got too cold and suggested canceling. They quickly offered to reschedule for the next day. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate, but their response was very pleasant.

Thank you, Yuuri!

当日はあいにくのお天気で催行されるのか不安でしたが、ガイドさんの言う通り、海は穏やかで全く問題ありませんでした。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は本当に神秘的で美しかったです。聖水？でのお清めもでき、気持ちが浄化されました。
シュノーケリングは寒かったですが、良いポイントに案内してくれて、ウミガメにも会えました。ガイドのゆうりくんが潜ってバブルリングと一緒に写真を撮ってくれました。次にサップの予定でしたが、冷えきってしまいキャンセルを申し出たところ、すぐに翌日振替を案内してくれました。残念ながら参加できませんでしたが、大変気持ちの良い対応でした。
ガイドのゆうりくん、ありがとうございました。

The kayaking and snorkeling at the Blue Cave were both amazing.

We had a private beach all to ourselves for the kayaking. Along the way, a drone flew by to take photos and videos.

I was able to leave my phone behind and relax, forgetting about time.

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was the most wonderful experience I've had among all the snorkeling and diving I've done!

We swam to the cave, and the journey there was also great. The hospitality and guidance from our instructor, Kinjo, were 200% enjoyable.

The kids were able to spend time safely and securely.

I was surprised by the quality and quantity of the images and videos after the experience. I was happily shocked by how many there were!

Even after it was over, I could look back at the images and reminisce.

I would definitely love to do this again when I visit Okinawa.

カヤックも青の洞窟シュノーケリングも最高でした。

カヤックは人がいないプライベートビーチをなんと貸切で。
途中ドローンが飛んできて写真や画像を撮影してくれます。

ケータイも置いて時間を忘れてのんびり満喫できました。


青の洞窟シュノーケルは、今まで行ったシュノーケルやダイビングの中でもナンバーワンに素敵でした！

洞窟まで泳いでいくのですが、その道中もまた良くて。
インストラクターのキンジョウさんのホスピタリティ200%のトークや案内で楽しくドームイン。

子供も安心＆安全に過ごすことができました。

驚いたのか体験後の画像や動画の質と量です。
こんなに⁉︎と嬉しいビックリ。

終わった後も、画像を見返して思い出に浸れます。

沖縄に行く際にはまたぜひお願いしたいです。

It was my first moonlight tour. Thanks to the new moon, the moon was very beautiful and mysterious, and I was able to take many photos in various poses. It was really great. Thank you for taking more photos than planned! 😍 Next time, I would like to participate in the stargazing tour.

初めての、月明かりツアーでした
新月だだたお陰で、月がとても綺麗で
神秘的で、色んなポーズの写真を撮って頂き
とても、良かったです
予定枚数より、沢山、撮ってもらいありがとうございました😍
次回は、星空ツアーに参加したいです

I participated in a morning canoeing session and an afternoon tour of Yufu Island, and it was filled with unique experiences that became wonderful memories!

After arriving at Iriomote Island, we quickly boarded a bus for a 15-20 minute ride to the area near Urauchi Bridge. We put on life jackets and received paddle instructions in the parking lot. My child was given a smaller paddle. It had been about 15 years since I last canoed, so I was a bit anxious, but since the shallow areas allowed the paddle to reach the ground, I felt reassured. My child wasn't sure what to expect, but they were able to sit in the front or middle, and there was no sign of them falling overboard. However, they seemed to dislike the water dripping from my paddle when it was raised, crying loudly and continuously saying, "I want to go home!" (laughs). I think it would be a lot of fun for children who enjoy water.

We were taken to a tunnel-like area thick with mangroves, and although we occasionally bumped into the mangroves, it was enjoyable, and we could paddle while taking in the scenery. On the way back, we were told that we could actually get off the canoe in the river, and those who wanted to got off right there and approached the mangroves (it was only knee-deep, so there was no fear at all). It was a truly valuable experience, and I had a lot of fun.

While my child was crying the whole time, another participant's mother kindly said, "This child used to cry all the time too," and seeing a boy who wasn't crying at all made me feel that he had grown up strong. I thought that one day, we would look back and laugh about times like this. Although we were only together for that moment, I felt that there was a sense of unity that comes with being part of a tour, which is one of its charms.

I also really enjoyed the water buffalo cart and Yufu Island!

午前カヌー午後由布島観光に参加しましたが、ここでしか出来ない体験だらけで大変良い思い出になりました！

西表島に到着後バスにすぐ乗り、15-20分バスで浦内橋付近まで。
ライフジャケットを着て駐車場でパドルの説明を受けます。子どもには小さいパドルをいただきました。
カヌーは約15年ぶり2回目で不安でしたが浅瀬で何かあればパドルが地面に届くので安心でした。子どもはどうなるのかイメージが湧いておりませんでしたが、前か真ん中に座ることが出来、落ちそうな気配もありませんでした。ただ、親のパドルが上になったときにポタポタ落ちる水が嫌だったような大泣き。終始「家に帰りたい〜」と叫んでいました笑　水が好きなお子さんでしたらとても楽しいと思います。
マングローブがたくさん生い茂るトンネルのようなところまで連れていってもらい、たまにマングローブにぶつかることもありましたがそれはそれで楽しく、景色を楽しみながら漕ぐことができました。
帰り道では実際に川の中でカヌーから降りてもいいですよと言ってもらい、降りたい人はその場で降りてマングローブに近づいていました（膝程度なので全く怖さはありませんでした）　とっても貴重な体験ができ本当に楽しかったです。
子どもが終始号泣していると、他のツアー参加者のお母様が「この子もいつも泣いてたのよー」と声をかけてくださり、全く泣いてない男の子を見て、成長した姿がたくましく見え、いつかこんな時もあったと笑えるんだろうなと感じました。その時だけの方々でしたが、ツアーだとなんとなく一体感が生まれるのが醍醐味だなと感じました。

水牛車も由布島も大変楽しめました！

I think it's content that beginners can fully enjoy!
It was my first time trying SUP, and I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, which was amazing!
I also enjoyed snorkeling without any difficulty, and the sea was very beautiful; I even got to see a sea turtle.

I was a bit worried because the life jacket I wore had two out of three buckles broken.
I also thought it would be great if I could provide more details about my height, weight, desired size, and swimming ability when making a reservation in advance.

The staff were very friendly, and it was a tour that made me want to do it again if I have the chance!

初心者でも充分楽しめる内容だと思います！
SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした！
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。

私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。

スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした！

On the day of our trip, the weather was not great, and I experienced seasickness for the first time due to the rough boat ride. Thanks to the incredibly hospitable staff, we were able to safely land on the elusive island. The pick-up and drop-off service was excellent, so my husband and I, who do not drive, felt at ease.

当日、天気がいまいちでボートの激しい揺れのため船酔いを初体験しました。ホスピタリティー溢れるスタッフの方のお陰で無事に幻の島に上陸することができました。送り迎えをバッチリしていただけるので、車に乗らない私達夫婦も安心でした。

I was very grateful to have someone come to pick me up at the hotel and prepare a bento for me. I appreciate the guide who made various adjustments to ensure we were on time. The expression "I was able to meet Jomon Sugi" feels just right. It was such a precious experience.

ホテルに迎えにきてもらったら、お弁当を準備してもらったりでとても助かりました。
時間に間に合うように色々調整してくれたガイドさんに感謝です。
「縄文杉に会いに来れた」という表現がしっくりくる。そんな貴重な体験でした。

We experienced this with 2 adults and 6 middle and high school students! Since we participated in half pants and clothes that could get wet, the first group flying in the early morning of mid-March found it cold in the air. By the time the second group flew, the cold had eased and it was more comfortable.

We were slowly taken to the flying point by banana boat, and that process was enjoyable too! Sitting on the banana boat can get your bottom wet (depending on the seat), so it's definitely safer to wear clothes that can get wet.

You walk along the beach to get to the banana boat. It's better to have beach sandals. I went in regular shoes, so I took them off at a bench near the foot wash area and walked on the sandy beach. The soles of my feet hurt until I reached the soft sand. Don't forget your beach sandals.

The flight time was neither too long nor too short. With 8 participants flying in pairs, there was some waiting time, but it flew by as we enjoyed the scenery while watching the situation.

大人2名、中高生6名で体験してきました！
濡れても良い服装でハーフパンツで参加した為、3月中旬の朝一で飛ぶ前半組は上空が寒かったです。後半組が行う頃には寒さは緩和され過ごしやすかったです。
飛ぶポイントまでバナナボートでゆっくり連れてってくれその過程も楽しかったです！バナナボートに座るとお尻が濡れてしまうので（席による）やはり濡れても良い服装が無難です。
バナナボートに乗るまで砂浜を歩きます。ビーチサンダルがあった方が良いです。
普通の靴で行ってしまったので、足洗い場の近くのベンチに靴を脱いで砂浜を歩きました。サラサラ砂浜へ突入するまでの間は足裏が痛いです。ビーチサンダル忘れずに。飛行時間は長くもなく短くもなく、8名参加でペアーで飛行するため待ち時間はありますが、様子を眺めながら景色を楽しみ過ごせるのであっという間の時間でした。

In the morning, I was worried about the strong winds, but by the time we started, the sun was shining and the wind had calmed down, making it an amazing experience!

I was able to make a reservation the day before, considering the weather, and on the day of the event, the pre-payment made everything go smoothly.

The water temperature was warm for March, and even when I fell off the SUP, I had borrowed a coat in advance, so I didn't get cold.

It was so much fun, and during the cleanup, I received a video that turned out beautifully! They filmed from above with a drone, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty of the Ingyamarine Garden.

I was also able to borrow a smartphone case, so I could take photos underwater.

I want to experience this again!

午前は風が強く心配していましたが始まる頃に日が差し風も緩み、最高の体験でした！
予約も、前日に天候を考えて日時を決められ、当日は事前決済のためスムーズに終えることができました。
水温も３月なのに暖かく、サップから落ちても事前にコートを借りれたこともあり寒くなりませんでした。
とっても楽しい上、片づけ中に動画を受け取ることもでき、その映像がまたきれい！ドローンで上空から映してくれているのでインギャーマリンガーデンの美しさをしっかり見ることができます。
スマホケースも貸してもらえたのでスマホを海中に入れて海の中の撮影できました。
また体験したいです！

The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy the experience. The staff provided explanations about the creatures and plants along the way, making for a fun time! Thank you! ☺️

天気もよく気持ちよく体験できました。スタッフの方が都度生き物や植物についても説明してくださり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！ありがとうございました☺️

My mother, who is in her 80s, visited Okinawa for the first time. I signed her up for a kayaking experience so she could enjoy the nature of Okinawa. Since it was her first time kayaking, I was worried about whether she would be able to paddle well, but they provided an explanation of how to operate the kayak at the beginning, and once she got the hang of it, she was able to paddle without any issues. It was a fun experience that went by in no time. The guide's explanations about the plants and creatures that inhabit the area were also fascinating, and we gained a lot of knowledge. The weather was great that day, and we were able to fully enjoy the great outdoors, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

80代の母は今回初の沖縄。沖縄の自然を楽しんでもらいたくカヤック体験を申し込みました。
カヤックは初めてだったので上手くパドル操作が出来るか不安でしたが、最初に操作の説明などもしていただき、慣れたら全く問題なくカヤックを進めることができあっという間の楽しい体験でした。
ガイドさんの、そこに生息する植物や生き物の説明も興味深く、色々な知識を得る事ができました。
当日は天気も良く、大自然を満喫できとても良い思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございます。

The beautiful sea of Miyako Island, where we paddled our canoe to reach a mystical limestone cave 🤩. The guide was also very kind, and we were able to create some wonderful memories ✨.

宮古島の綺麗な海をカヌーで進んで行った先にある神秘的な鍾乳洞🤩
ガイドさんも親切でとっても素敵な思い出が作れました✨

It was raining on the day, but since we were going to jump into the sea, the rain was totally fine! The weather can’t be known until closer to the travel date, so I was grateful that they accommodated a sudden schedule change when I found out it would rain on the travel day. The Pumpkin Cave isn’t that big, but it was a sacred place, and just being able to enter was moving! The staff were also very kind and handsome, which made it fun!

当日は雨でしたが、海にドボンと入るので雨でも全然大丈夫でした!
天候は旅行の日程が近くならないとわからないので、旅行の日が雨だとわかり、急な日程変更にも対応していただけて、ありがたかったです☺パンプキン鍾乳洞はそこまで大きい鍾乳洞ではありませんが、神聖な場所で入れただけで感動でした!スタッフの方もとても親切&イケメンで楽しかったです!

I had been wanting to try kayaking, and then I found this sunset kayak tour. At first, I was most interested in seeing the mangroves and the creatures around them, so I thought it would be a bonus to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and I made a reservation.

There were many challenges, such as getting wet, paddling in the wind, and feeling cold as the sun set and the temperature dropped.

However, when I enjoyed watching the creatures of the Hija River and the mangroves, and as we turned the big curve leading from the river to the sea… it felt like I dove into the sunset world I had envisioned, with the water surface and sky dyed orange.

We took photos with the setting sun in the background, making it the best time that will be remembered and recorded.

The experience began with a lecture on how to hold the paddle, how to paddle, turn, and stop, and after learning how to get into the kayak, we started, so even beginners could enjoy it with peace of mind.

The view we saw as we made our way to the sea with our own strength will be a lifelong memory. I was truly able to see wonderful scenery. I highly recommend trying it out!

カヤック体験したいと思っていた所、このサンセットカヤックツアーを見つけました。初めはマングローブや周辺にいる生き物などを見てみたいのが1番だったので、綺麗な景色がついでに見れるならラッキーと思い予約しました。

お尻は濡れる、風が吹く中で漕ぐのは疲れる、日も落ち気温が下がり寒さを感じるなどなど。大変なことは多々ありました。

ただ、比謝川の生き物やマングローブ鑑賞を楽しみ、川から海へと繋がる大きなカーブを曲がり終わるその時には…
橙色に染まる水面と空、思い描いていたサンセットの世界へ飛び込んだようでした。

沈む夕日をバックに写真を撮っていただき、記憶にも記録にも残る最高の時間となりました。

体験はパドルの持ち方から漕ぎ方、方向転換や止まり方などのレクチャーをしていただく所から始まり、カヤックへの乗り方を教わった後に始まるので初心者でも安心して楽しめました。

自分達の力で海へ出て見た景色は一生の思い出になると思います。本当に素敵な景色を見ることが出来ました。是非体験してみてください。

I participated with my middle school son and our family of three. During the bus ride, the guide shared many fun stories about recommended shops and sightseeing spots. When we got off the bus, we found ourselves in a dark mountain area with no signal, and we excitedly ventured down a path that felt like a beast trail with our flashlights, searching for coconut crabs. We finally reached the coast, and when we turned off our flashlights, we were greeted by a sky full of stars. Since it had rained the day before, I wasn't expecting much, but it was truly moving. Experiencing the pitch-black sea illuminated only by the stars and moonlight was something quite rare.

The coconut crabs were hard to find due to the chilly weather, but the guide shared interesting stories about rare plants and terrain as we explored their hotspots. Finally, someone in our group spotted one! I was surprised by its grotesque colors. The tour was a complete satisfaction with the coconut crabs, the starry sky, and the night jungle. It seems this trip became my son's best memory. Thank you to our guide Gin-chan and the staff for a wonderful experience.

中学生の息子と家族3人で参加させていただきました。
道中のバスではガイドさんがオススメのお店や観光スポットなど楽しいお話をたくさんして下さいました。
バスから降りると圏外で真っ暗な山の中、懐中電灯で獣道？のような道をどんどん進んでドキドキ、ヤシガニを探しながら奥へ奥へと進み、海岸へ到着。懐中電灯を消したら満天の星空が、、、前日が雨だったので期待していなかったのに、感動でした。真っ暗な海を目の前に星と月明かりだけなのもなかなか体験できないものでした。
ヤシガニは肌寒いのもあり、なかなか現れず、ガイドさんが珍しい植物や地形の話をしてくださりながら出没スポットをめぐり、同じグループの方がついに発見！
グロテスクな色にびっくりでした。
ヤシガニ、星空、夜のジャングル全て大満足のツアーでした。
息子はこの旅行で1番の思い出になったようです。
ガイドをしていただいた銀ちゃん、スタッフの方々ありがとうございました。

I participated in the premium course for Pumpkin Cave and snorkeling, as well as SUP.

The Pumpkin Cave was a truly mystical space, and I’m really glad I had the opportunity to experience it. The instructor provided various explanations, making it a great experience.

During snorkeling, I was a bit scared since I don’t swim, but the beauty of the underwater world was incredible! My fear disappeared instantly, and I had so much fun. Meeting a sea turtle was the highlight.

In SUP, those who were exhausted were able to relax and rejuvenate.

I was very tired after a full day of activities starting from the morning, but it was a fulfilling day.

Thank you.

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシュノーケリング、SUPのプレミアムコースで参加させていただきました。

パンプキン鍾乳洞はとっても神秘的な空間で、体験することができて本当によかったです。
インストラクターの方が、色々と解説をしてくださり、いい経験となりました。

シュノーケリングでは、私自身泳がないので少し恐怖心がありましたが、海の中の綺麗なこと！！一気に恐怖心が消え、とても楽しめました。ウミガメにも会えて最高でした。

SUPでは、疲れ切った体を休める方々が、癒やされました。


朝からのアクティビティ続きでとても疲れましたが、充実した1日となりました。


ありがとうございます。

I also experienced mangrove canoeing in Ishigaki Island and Amami Oshima, but the canoeing in Iriomote Island was the most interesting. With the guidance of our guide Yume, we were able to paddle deep into the mangroves from the wide river.

石垣島、奄美大島でもマングローブカヌーを体験しましたが西表島のカヌーが一番面白かったです。
ガイドのユメさんの案内で広い川からマングローブのずいぶんと奥までカヌーで入って行く事ができました。

I participated in a tour of Yubu Island and a mangrove canoe tour. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the weather.

Yubu Island has cute water buffalo and beautiful nature, and I really enjoyed it. There were also animals and birds along the way to Yubu Island, which was a lot of fun.

It was my first time kayaking in the mangroves, and I had a great time. I've often seen photos of mangrove tunnels, but the mangroves we visited were quite small, so I hope to see larger ones next time.

Before going on the canoe tour, we were told that the guide would take photos with a GoPro, so we didn't need to bring our smartphones. However, our guide used something like a digital camera instead. All the photos had a foggy appearance in the middle. I thought it might be mist, but since the same area was white, I believe it was due to lens fogging. I wanted to capture great memories in photos, but they didn't turn out well, which is disappointing. I wish they had used a GoPro instead. I wonder if it varies by guide.

由布島とマングローブカヌーツアーに参加しました。バラス島は天気の関係で行くことができませんでした。
由布島にはかわいい水牛や美しい自然がありとても楽しめました。また、由布島に行くまでの道にも動物や鳥がいてとても楽しめました。
マングローブカヤックも初めてだったので楽しかったです。マングローブのトンネルのような写真をよく見ますが、私たちが行ったところのマングローブは、小さかった？ので次はもっと大きいマングローブを見たいです。
カヌーツアーに行く前に、写真は、ガイドさんがゴープロで撮るのでスマートフォンは、持っていかなくても大丈夫と言われましたが、私たちのガイドさんはゴープロではなく、デジカメ？のようなもので撮影をしてくれました。全ての写真の真ん中あたりにモヤがかかっていました。霧かな？とも思いましたが、ほぼ同じ場所が白いのでレンズの曇りだと思います。せっかくの思い出を写真にのこしたかったのですが、あまりいい写真ではなく、残念です。また、ゴープロで撮影してほしかったです。ガイドさんによって違うのでしょうか。

I was looking for activities that could be enjoyed by three generations: my parents in their early 60s, and my 7-year-old and 2-year-old children. After considering options like sea kayaking, mangrove kayaking, and snorkeling, I decided to go with sea kayaking, prioritizing safety by choosing a calm area without going too far out and opting for a kayak design that is less likely to capsize.

To sum it up, I definitely recommend this experience!

First of all, regarding safety, the activity takes place in a cove, so the waves are calm, and the kayaks have stabilizers, which provided a sense of security. While I was initially concerned that the focus on safety might make it less exciting, both adults and children had an absolute blast! We did our kayaking at the Ingyamarine Garden, where we navigated between rocks and enjoyed the stunning scenery. It was so much fun to look for fish living among the coral through the clear kayak! They even provided a paddle for my 2-year-old that floats if dropped, and he was completely engrossed in paddling away.

What impressed me the most was the drone video! It was my first time having drone footage taken, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. I watched the video again on the flight home, reminiscing about the trip, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears.

I am very grateful to the incredibly kind and attentive staff and instructors!

60代前半の両親と7歳と2歳の子どもと、3世代で楽しめるアクティビティを探し、シーカヤック、マングローブカヤック、シュノーケリングの３択で悩み、シーカヤックの中でも沖の方に出ず、波の穏やかな場所で開催されること、転覆しにくいカヤックの形状など、とにかく安全面を重視し、こちらに申し込みました。
結論から言うと、間違いなくおすすめです！！
まず、安全面でいうと、入江の中でのアクティビティになるので、波が穏やかであって、カヤックの横に浮きがついていて安定感がありました。
次に、安全面が大きいと物足りなさが心配になりますが、大人も子どもも楽しさ100点満点でした！！今回私たちはインギャーマリンガーデンで行いましたが、岩と岩の間をカヤックで進んでいったり、迫力のあるロケーションの中で、クリアカヤックならではの海の底の珊瑚に住む魚達をクリアカヤックごしに探したりしてとても楽しかったです！２歳の子にも落としてもすぐ浮かぶオールを貸してくださり、夢中になってこいでました^_^
そして何より感動したのが、、ドローンの動画です！！初めてドローン撮影してもらって、すごくいい経験になりました！帰りの飛行機の中でこの動画を見返して、旅行の思い出に浸って、つい涙が出てきてしまいました、、笑
すごく丁寧で優しいスタッフ、インストラクターさんに感謝です！
