All Reviews for Night Tours

I participated in a night tour with Pipi on the first day. This tour is perfect for me, who loves animals and living creatures like natural monuments, and for my girlfriend, who loves the starry sky of Okinawa. The guide was Kuri-chan.

Although young, she was very considerate and made sure to enjoy the tour herself while diligently searching for the creatures that are natural monuments. We were able to see the coconut crab we were aiming for, as well as a purple land crab, an owl, a scorpion, and a sagari flower, which was said to be quite rare, making it a lot of fun!

The next day, I heard that canoeing or river sliding is recommended on Iriomote Island, so I asked Kuri-chan to handle all the reservations. She kindly took care of everything and provided detailed information about the timing and delicious places to eat, which made me very happy.

I definitely want to recommend Kuri-chan from Pipi and would like to ask for her help again when I come to Ishigaki Island next time. Thank you very much! ^_^

ピピさんでナイトツアーを初日に参加させていただきました。
天然記念物など動物や生き物が大好きな僕と沖縄の星空が大好きな彼女にはもってこいのツアーです。
ガイドはくりちゃんでした。
若いのですが、気配りなどたくさん配慮していただきガイドさん自身もたのしんで必死に天然記念物の生き物散策をしてくれました。
目当てのヤシガニもみれたのですが、紫やどかりやふくろう、さそり、さがり花もみれ大変珍しいとのことで楽しかったです！
次の日は西表島ではカヌーか川滑りがおすすめときいたのでそのままくりちゃんに予約などすべておねがいしました。
快くひきうけてもらい、時間やごはんが美味しいところなど細かく連絡いただきすごく嬉しかったです。
是非ピピさんのくりちゃんをおすすめしたいと同時に次回石垣島にきた際もお願いしたいとおもいます。ありがとうございました^_^

I was worried because it was raining, but the guide was considerate and provided rain suits and boots. Moreover, the rain added to the jungle atmosphere, and I was thrilled to see natural monuments like coconut crabs.

雨が降ってて心配でしたが担当のガイドの方が気を遣ってレインスーツ、長靴を用意して下さり、しかも雨が降ってる故ジャングル感満載でヤシガニなど天然記念物を見れて感動しました。

I had never heard of a night tour before, so I was interested and decided to participate. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations, but I was very satisfied to see various things like stars, living creatures, plants, and the night view! I definitely want others to experience this too!

夜にツアーってなかなか聞いたことがなかったので興味があり参加しました。
正直、期待はしてなかったのですが星、生き物、植物、夜景、と色々なものを見れ大満足です！
是非！他の方たちにも味わってもらいたいです！

I was excited for my first night cruising, but unfortunately, I was a little late to the meeting time, which caused some concern. I felt relieved by the warm welcome from the captain and the staff. As we set sail, I was immediately moved by the breathtaking views of the sea that I had never seen before! The captain provided detailed and enjoyable explanations about the ship and the plant, and my two daughters in their twenties were very satisfied as well. We also enjoyed the wonderful night view of Yokohama. Thank you very much!

初めてのナイトクルージングにワクワクしながら なんと集合時間に少し間に合わずご心配をおかけしました。 船長さんやスタッフの皆様の温かなお迎えにほっとしつつ 出航するとこれまで見た事もない海からの景色にたちまち感動！ 船長さんが船の事やプラントの事などとても詳しく楽しく説明して下さり、20代の2人の娘たちも大満足だったとのことでした。 横浜の素晴らしい夜景も堪能できました。ありがとうございました！

Iriomote Island is said to be often cloudy, but we were fortunate with the weather and were able to see a beautiful starry sky.
On the jungle tour, I was able to see many creatures, including some that I can't find in my area, which was a lot of fun!
I also saw a coconut crab for the first time, and it was really cool!
The staff were very kind and left a great impression. Lying down in a park without streetlights to watch the stars was a unique experience that I will truly cherish.
Thank you very much!
I highly recommend it for those who love nature and wildlife!

西表島は曇りが多いそうですが、天候にも恵まれ綺麗な星空をみることができました。
ジャングルツアーでは沢山の生き物を見ることができました。私の住んでいる地域では見れない生き物も沢山いて楽しむことができました！
ヤシガニも初めて見ましたが、かっこよかったです！
スタッフの方もとても親切で好印象でした。街灯の無い公園で寝そべり星をみたりなど、なかなかできない体験ができて本当にいい思い出になりました。
りがとうございました(^ ^)
自然や生き物が好きな方にはオススメです！

I was searching for a tour to see coconut crabs in Ishigaki Island and came across this tour. I was overwhelmed by the size of the coconut crabs, which far exceeded my imagination. The size I saw was even bigger than my shoes. Besides coconut crabs, there were also habu snakes, bats, and firefly larvae, which made it interesting.

石垣島でヤシガニが見れるツアーを探していたらここのツアーにたどり着きました,
想像をはるかに超えるヤシガニの大きさに圧倒されました。その時見た大きさは、自分が履いていた靴よりも大きかったです。
ヤシガニ以外にもハブやコウモリ、ホタルの幼虫などもいて面白かったです。

I booked this tour to see the starry sky. During the day, it was cloudy and my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised; that night, the sky was filled with stars! The guide also explained various constellations. On the way back, we made a little detour and got to see the night view of Ishigaki Island. It was unexpectedly beautiful, and I was even more moved than by the starry sky. Thank you for the unexpected surprise.

満天の星を見るためにこのツアーを予約しました。
昼間は曇りで期待が薄かったのですが、いい意味で裏切られ、当日の夜は満天の星星星！ガイドさんも様々な星座の解説をしてくださいました。
帰りにちょっと寄り道で、石垣島の夜景も見せていただきました。思いの外綺麗で、星空よりも感動してしまいました。思わぬサプライズをありがとう。

The guide was incredibly kind and took great care of us until the end! He patiently answered all my questions, from things about Ishigaki Island to personal matters, without getting angry, and it truly became a fun night tour! I will definitely rely on Pipi again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

ガイドのお兄さんがとにかく優しく最後まで良くしてくれました！
石垣島の事からプライベートの事まで質問だらけの私にも怒らず親切に何でも教えて頂き本当に楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
是非また石垣島に来た際はピピさんにお世話になります！

I participated in a night tour in the jungle for the first time in my life! I was fine with bugs, but I was worried that my son might be scared. However, he was very curious about the insects and plants he saw for the first time and had a great time. Even when we asked the guide questions, he provided explanations that were easy to understand for my son and people of various ages, making it a very good experience and educational. My son said he wants to go again, so I think I might consider going to Ishigaki Island again if the opportunity arises.

人生で初めて、ジャングルでのナイトツアーに参加しました！私は虫とかは平気だったんですが、息子が怖がらないか不安でした。ですが、息子も初めて見る昆虫や植物に興味津々ですごく楽しんでくれました。ガイドさんに質問しても、息子など幅広い世代にわかりやすい説明してくれて、とても良い経験、勉強になりました。息子もまた行きたいと言っていたのでまた機会があれば石垣島に行こうかなと思います。

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I felt a sense of urban life, but after participating in a night tour, I was able to appreciate the richness of nature. I was particularly surprised when I saw a coconut crab. It was larger than my palm, and I was shocked to hear that its claw strength is comparable to a lion's bite. However, I found it interesting that it is surprisingly delicious.

石垣島に来た日は都会を感じるものがあったのですがナイトツアーに参加して、自然の豊かさを感じれました。
その中でもヤシガニを見た時はとても驚きました。手のひらよりも大きくて、ハサミの力がライオンの噛む力と同じくらいだと聞いてゾッとしました。でも意外と美味であることがなんだか面白かったです。

I participated in a night tour in Ishigaki Island. I was able to encounter many creatures. The guide also introduced various plants. It was a lot of fun to interact with the creatures, plants, and nature. I was very excited about the coconut crab! The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot!

石垣島のナイトツアーに参加しました。たくさんの生物に出会うことができました。他にも植物などガイドさんが紹介してくれました。生物や植物、自然に触れ合うことができ、とても楽しかったです。ヤシガニには大興奮しました！ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、たくさん教えてくれました！

I can say that I came to the Yaeyama Islands mainly to see the starry sky, and I was really looking forward to this tour. It took a while to finalize the details until the day of the event, but after reading various reviews online, I decided on this tour with Pipi! There were six participants, including myself. It seemed like everyone came from different places, and we had a great time chatting about various topics, not just Okinawa. It became a wonderful memory.

星空を見るためにこの八重山諸島に来たと言っても過言ではないほど、このツアーを楽しみにしていて、中々当日まで決まりませんでしたが、色々ネットの口コミを見て、こちらのピピさんに決めました！
参加者は私を含めて6人。皆さん色んなところから来てるみたいで、沖縄だけではなく、色んな話で大盛り上がり。素晴らしい思い出になりました。

My main purpose for making a reservation was to see the starry sky, but I am grateful to the guide who interestingly and enjoyably introduced the unique wildlife and plants of Ishigaki that I could never see in my daily life. The guided tour was refreshing for me. I definitely recommend it!

一番の目的は星空が見たくて予約したのですが、星空より普段絶対に見ることの出来ない石垣の生物など植物を面白く楽しく紹介してくれたガイドさんに感謝です。
初めてのガイドツアーは新鮮でした。絶対おススメです！

Thank you for accommodating my last-minute reservation. The guide who assisted us was very interesting, and we made great memories on our last night in Ishigaki. I was amazed by the amount of stars in the sky, more than I've ever seen before. I would like to request Pipi again when I come back to Ishigaki.

ギリギリの予約にもかかわらず快く受けれて下さり感謝です。
担当して下さったガイドさんの話はとても面白いく石垣の最後の夜にいい思い出ができました。
星空も今までに見たことないぐらいの量に感激しました。
また石垣来た際はpipiさんにお願いしたいと思います。

I saw a coconut crab for the first time. I was surprised that the same guide was with us during the day as well, but since we had become friendly, it was lucky for me(^^) I made the best memories and fell in love with Ishigaki Island!

初めてヤシガニというものを見ました。日中もお世話になって同じガイドさんだったのはびっくりしましたが、親しくなった方だったので、ラッキーでした(^^)
最高の思い出ができましたし、石垣島が大好きになりました！

The guide was amazing. The conversation about Ishigaki Island during the trip was wonderful, and the explanations about the creatures were detailed. Above all, it was impressive how much fun the guide seemed to be having (laughs).

最高のガイドさんでした。道中の石垣島トーークも素晴らしいし、生き物の解説も詳しかったです。なによりも本人が楽しそうだったのが印象的でした(笑)

Since I have difficulty walking, I was able to go at a slow pace. Participating was definitely the right choice. I was able to enjoy creatures and nature that I can't see living in the city.

足が悪いので、ゆっくりとしたペースでやっていただきました。参加して大正解。
都会に住んでいると見ることのできない生き物や自然を楽しむことができました。

Thank you for taking care of us during the daytime at Pipi! It was great to see the creatures and stars while we were on Ishigaki Island. Please take us on various tours when we come again!

お昼間もピピさんでお世話になりました！
移動中の石垣島のお話ももちろん、生き物や星が見れてよかったです。
また来た時はいろんなツアーに連れて行ってください！

We had a wonderful introduction to the Golden Gai and tried food items we would have never thought to...our guide was interesting and fun...she shared the history of the area, interesting details of life in Tokyo, and took us to cool places we would have been too intimidated to go into on our own. I HIGHLY recommend booking a tour!

I participated with a friend and their child. The factory night view from the sea was magical, and I was very satisfied. It was a bit cold, but I was happy to be able to borrow a blanket. I am thinking of going again.

友人親子と一緒に参加しました。
海からの工場夜景は幻想的で大変満足でした。
少し寒かったですがブランケットをお借りできうれしかったです。
また行きたいとおもっています。

The night views and factory flames are not attractions, so there seems to be some variability depending on the day (on the day I participated, they mentioned it was a medium flame). There were some disappointing aspects, but when we reached the highlights, they made an effort to guide us to good viewing spots and opened the windows for better visibility, which conveyed their desire for us to enjoy the experience. At one point, we went to the front of the boat and picked up some speed, adding an element of excitement. In the end, we were able to see the beautiful night view of Minato Mirai, making it a satisfying tour.

夜景や工場の炎などはアトラクションではないので当たり外れは日のよって有るようで（参加日は中くらいの炎と言ってました）残念な部分も有りましたが見どころの場所に来ると見やすい場所への案内や見えやすいように窓を開けてくれたりなど一生懸命楽しんでもらおうとしていてくれた感じが伝わりました。
途中船の先端に出てちょっとスピードを出してくれたりアトラクション的要素も有り、最後はみなとみらいのきれいな夜景も見れ満足できるツアーでした。

Very cool, unique experience! Especially great if you sit outside in the back of the boat to get the full experience.

There are various types of cruises, but the factory night view was a completely new experience for me, as if I had come to another planet. The captain's explanations were excellent, and I heard many interesting stories about the port and the ship. On the way back, the ship got very close to the Ferris wheel, and I was able to go out on deck and enjoy an exhilarating view of the Ferris wheel and the hotels from directly below. It was amazing!

クルーズにもいろいろありますが、工場夜景は全く初めての経験で、まるで別の星に来てしまったのかと思うような経験でした。船長さんの説明が絶品で、港や船に関して興味深いお話をたくさん伺いました。また、帰りには観覧車のすぐ近くまで船を寄せて、甲板に出していただき、真下から観覧車やホテル群を眺めるという心躍る体験をすることができました。最高でした！

A thrilling and exciting factory night view cruise! The shining factories illuminated against the night sky were enchanting! The close encounters unique to the meat-eating small boats were astonishing! The attractions held towards the end were full of thrills!

The captain's talk is somehow addictive, haha!

どきどきわくわくの工場夜景クルーズ！夜の闇に浮かび上がる、輝く工場は幻想的でした！肉食系小型船ならではの接近戦は度肝を抜かれます！終盤に行われるアトラクションもスリル満点！

船長さんのトークがなんだかクセになります笑

I participated in a factory night view tour for the first time. Before the tour, the meeting place and time were changed, but I received very polite communication about it.

As for the tour, the female guide's explanations were very skillful, and I could feel her love for the local area. The next day, I saw the same scenery during the day, and thanks to that, I was able to understand the factory better!

初めて、工場夜景ツアーに参加しました。参加前に集合場所と時間が変更になりましたが、とても丁寧な連絡を頂きました。
ツアーですが、案内役の女性の説明がとても上手で、地元愛が感じられました。翌日は昼間に同じ景色を見ましたが、お陰様で工場を理解しやすかったです！

We had a highly enjoyable experience on the evening food tour Golden Gai Shinjuku. Our guide Norma was excellent. She chose some great food destinations and was very helpful in explaining Japanese food etiquette and culture. In between eating, Norma guided us around Shinjuku, which is a must see destination if you come to Tokyo. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great download on the activities and history of the Shinjuku area. Towards, the end of the tour we went to the Golden Gai area, which is quite fascinating for tourists.

We dont write alot of reviews, but would highly recommend this tour, and in particular, we felt quite fortunate that our guide was Norma, as she was really very committed to ensuring that the group was enjoying both the tour and the food experience.

The night sky in Iriomote was more beautiful and moving than I had imagined. I had made a reservation the night before, but due to the weather not being great, I changed it to the following day. Thanks to that, our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, kept saying how beautiful the sky would be tonight, and it truly was stunning. While kayaking on the Urauchi River and observing the stars, the bioluminescent plankton glowed every time we paddled, allowing us to enjoy both the sky and the water. We also ventured a little into the mangrove forest. The guide provided various explanations along the way, making the experience even more interesting and enjoyable. I am grateful for the beautiful starry sky, the absence of unnecessary lights at night, and the opportunity to fully enjoy the nature of Iriomote through this wonderful tour.

By the way, since I stayed at Nirakanai, I walked to the location, which took about an hour and a half. I brought a flashlight, but they are available for rent. The kayaking was on calm waters, so I hardly got wet. When getting into the kayak, you walk in the water up to your ankles, so it's best to wear something that can get wet (though they inform you about this in advance…).

西表の夜空は想像以上に美しく感動的でした。
前夜に予約していたのですが、天候がいまいちだったので、翌日に変更していただきました。そのおかげで、ガイドの岩本さんも今夜は綺麗に見えますよを繰り返されるほど、綺麗な夜空でした。浦内川をカヤックを漕ぎながらの星空観察で、水面には夜光虫がパドルを漕ぐたびに発光するので、上下と楽しめました。また、マングローブ林にも少しだけ入って行きました。適宜、色々な説明を加えてくださるので、さらに興味深く楽しむことが出来ました。綺麗な星空、無駄な光の無い夜、西表の自然を満喫でき、よいツアーに参加できたことに感謝します。
ちなみにニラカナイに宿泊だったため、移動は徒歩、所要時間1時間半くらい。ライトを持参しましたが、借りられます。穏やかな水面でのカヤックなので、ほぼ水には濡れません。カヤックに乗り込む際に足首くらいまで水中を歩くため足元は濡れてもよい格好がベストです。(事前に教えてくれますが…)

Participating was definitely the right choice. The captain was kind, and the factory night view can only be described as amazing. Along the way, the boat stopped at a beautiful night view spot, and I really enjoyed walking on the narrow deck while feeling the thrill.

参加して大正解でした。
船長さんもやさしく、また、工場夜景は最高のひとことに尽きます。
途中、夜景のきれいなスポットで船が停泊し、スリルを感じながら幅の狭いデッキの上をあるいたりして、とても楽しみました。

The onboard announcements were very detailed and sometimes amusing, making for a really enjoyable time. I thought it was a bit cold on the ship, and right away, someone asked if I would like a blanket. The attentive service was excellent. I feel like I could have a great time every time I ride; it was a valuable experience.

船内での案内は、とても詳しく＆時には面白く、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
船上では少し寒いな。って思っていたら、すぐにブランケットはどうですか？っと、声をかけてもらいました。
決め細やかな対応も凄く良かったです。
何度乗っても楽しく過ごせるのではないかと思うくらい、貴重な体験ができました。

Many companies offer similar cruises, but this one was the best. The older woman at the reception was kind, and above all, the captain was exceptionally experienced and excellent. The announcements were easy to understand, and he provided a thorough guide to various locations. I thought an hour and a half might be long, but it flew by. When the boat rocked, they informed us in advance, so there was no worry about seasickness. It seems there are other courses available, so I would like to participate in those next time. Since it's on the sea, I recommend wearing warm clothing.

似たようなクルーズを、各社開催していますが、この会社は最高でした。
受付の年配の女性も親切でしたし、何より船長さんが抜群にベテランで最高です。アナウンスも聞き取りやすく、色々な個所を丁寧に案内してくれました。
一時間半、長いかなと思ったのですが、あっという間でした。
船が揺れるときも、事前に教えてくれたので、船酔いの心配もありません。
別のコースもあるようなので、次回はそちらにも参加したいと思います。
海の上なので、温かい服装をお勧めします。
