All Reviews for Japan Hidden Gems: Secret Islands

They also provided advice on seasickness and motion sickness from snorkeling, and they subtly checked on my condition, which made me feel very reassured about participating. The sea was very calm and beautiful, so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries.

They recommended some great restaurants and bento shops, and their explanations were clear and thorough. After our lunch break, I chatted with other participants about what we had eaten, creating a very friendly atmosphere in the group.

For the canoe or SUP and mangrove tour experience in the afternoon, I think it’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. The final activity was an exceptionally pleasant experience. Since there was also a trekking element, I was able to connect with the nature of Iriomote Island, and thanks to our knowledgeable guide, I really grew to love the island.

The guides from pipi were mostly young, but I felt that each one of them had a pleasant demeanor and was very trustworthy.

Thank you to Yuuma and everyone at pipi for a wonderful time.

They also took plenty of photos of each participant group during the tour (the camera angles were fantastic), allowing us to focus on having fun.

*For those going to the mangroves, it might be better to avoid sleeveless tops and having insect repellent spray could be helpful. I got bitten by mosquitoes ten times on one arm alone!

船酔いやシュノーケルの波酔いの相談も受けてくれて、さり気なく体調を気にかけて頂き、とても安心して参加できました。
とても穏やかで綺麗な海だったので、心配もどこ吹く風で楽しく過ごせました。

おすすめの定食屋さんやお弁当屋さんも教えてくださり、わかりやすく丁寧で。お昼休憩の後にグループが一緒になった参加者の方と、何を食べたかの話をしたりと、とても和やかな雰囲気のグループとなりました。

午後からのカヌーorSUP、マングローブツアー体験は是非濡れても良い格好で参加されると良いと思います。
最後のお楽しみは格別に気持ちの良い体験となります◎
トレッキングの要素も含まれていたので、西表島の自然に触れ合うことができ、知識の豊富なガイドさんのおかげで島のことがとっても好きになりました。

pipiさんのガイドの方は若い方が多く見られましたが、どの人も気持ちの良い雰囲気でしっかりと信頼のおける方達だと感じました。

担当のユウマさんはじめ、pipiの皆様。楽しい時間をありがとうございます。

ツアー中の写真も各参加グループごとにたくさん撮ってくれるので(カメラアングルも素晴らしい)集中して遊べます♪

※マングローブに行く方は、ノースリーブは控えて、虫除けスプレーがあると良いかもしれません。片腕だけで10ヶ所しっかりと蚊に食われました笑

I was a bit worried about joining the local tour alone and feeling out of place, but I had such a fun time that it didn't matter at all!

Both the bus guide and the lady from the mangrove tour were great at chatting, and I never got bored listening to them.

There were water buffalo and live music, which was very soothing, and I also enjoyed taking commemorative photos with the water buffalo!

初めて現地ツアー参加（1人だし浮くかな？）と思っていましたが気にならないぐらい楽しいひと時を過ごせました！

バスの添乗員さん、マングローブツアーのお姉さん共にお喋りが上手で聞いていて飽きませんでした。

水牛も弾き語りもあって癒されたし水牛と記念撮影もできて楽しかったです！

It was my first time on Iriomote Island! I was able to do everything I wanted in one day on the Mangrove Barasu Island course✨ The explanations about the island and the plants were fascinating, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun experience♪

初めての西表島でした！
マングローブ・バラス島のコースで、1日でやりたかったことができました✨
島や植物の説明なども興味深く、ガイドさんたちもとっても親切で楽しむことができました♪

The location was great, and they captured the breathtaking moment of the moon and stars as the moon set! The staff was friendly and gave us tips on poses and photography, making the shoot enjoyable! A shooting star was also captured, making it the best memory of the trip! ♪

ロケーションもよくて、月が沈む瞬間の月と星の絶景の瞬間を写真に納めてくれました！
お兄さんも気さくで、ポーズや写真のアドバイスもしてくれ楽しく撮影してくれました！
流れ星も写っていて、旅行で一番の思い出です♪

We participated as a family of three. It was our first time in Miyako Island, and this sea turtle snorkeling experience became our best memory. The responses to our questions before the tour were very thorough, which made us feel at ease to join. The guide was also very kind and cheerful, and we were able to see 4 to 5 sea turtles! The photos sent to us after the tour were incredibly beautiful, including close-up shots of the sea turtles and pictures of Nemo, in addition to our family photos. I believe Miyako Island is a place worth visiting only if you go into the sea. I definitely want to participate in this tour again the next time I visit! 😊

家族3人で参加しました。宮古島は初めてだったのですがこのウミガメシュノーケリングが1番の思い出になりましたツアー前の質問にも丁寧にご回答いただき安心して参加することが出来ました。
またガイドの方もとても親切で明るく、ウミガメも4〜5匹見ることが出来ました！
ツアー後に送って下さった写真もすごく綺麗で、家族写真以外にもウミガメの至近距離写真やニモの写真などもありました。
宮古島は海に入ってこそ行く価値のある場所だと思います。また次に訪れる時も必ずこちらのツアーに参加したいと思います(^^)

I participated in this trip alone. I was worried since there were many families, but at each destination, the guide was there waiting for us, so I could join without getting lost. When I arrived at Taketomi Island, I was able to choose the course I wanted to experience. It was a very satisfying trip to Okinawa. Thank you very much.

一人旅での参加でした。
ご家族連れの方が多い中で心配でしたが行く先々にしっかりとガイドさんが待っていてくださるので迷うことなく参加できました。
竹富島に着いた際には自分で体験したいコースを選択できます。
大満足の沖縄旅行でした。
ありがとうございました。

It was so much fun! The sea turtle was so focused on its meal that it didn't pay us any mind. The sea turtle was, of course, adorable, but I also enjoyed the coral and Nemo. I think it's a safe option for beginners and small children since you don't have to go too far out with the beach entry. I thought the suggestion to change days based on the tide conditions was wonderful. Thank you, guide! (I had someone pulling my float the whole time.)

楽しかったあー。
海亀さんは、食事に夢中で、私たちには関知せずでしたが。海亀さんは、もちろん可愛いかったけれど、珊瑚も、ニモも、楽しめました。ビーチエントリーで、あまり沖まで行かないなど、初めての方、小さいお子様も、安心できると思います。潮の状態の良い日に変更提案等、対応も、素敵と、思いました。
ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。(ずっと浮輪を引っ張ってもらったのです)

I am very satisfied with how beautifully it was done. It was so good that I would like to use it again when I go back. Thank you very much.

とても綺麗にとっていただき大満足です。また行った時には利用したいと思える程良かったです。ありがとございました。

The weather was perfect, and the views were amazing, making this my best memory in Miyako Island! The instructor was very kind, and I felt safe during the experience! I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! The clownfish, in particular, was cute and left a strong impression on me. The scenery while paddleboarding was wonderful, and falling into the sea from the paddleboard felt refreshing because the water was cool. Everything was just fantastic! I want to experience it again when I come back to Miyako Island! ☺️☺️☺️

最高の天気、最高の景色で宮古島に来て1番の思い出になりました！
インストラクターさんもとっても優しく、安心して体験が出来ました！シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました！特にクマノミは可愛くて印象に残っています。サップでは素敵な景色が見ることができ、またサップから海に落ちるのは海が冷たくて気持ちよかったです。とにかく全てが最高でした！
また宮古島に来たら体験したいです☺️☺️☺️

This time, I wanted to ride a water buffalo cart that walks on water, so I joined a plan that included Yubu Island. On the day of the trip, the weather was clear, and the boat ride to the island was fantastic with a pleasant breeze. During the mangrove tour, the staff provided detailed explanations, making it very easy to understand. While riding the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed various explanations and even live performances on the sanshin. Upon arriving at Yubu Island, I was able to enjoy delicious bento boxes. The stay on Yubu Island was 90 minutes, which I thought was a bit short to explore leisurely, but I still had a great time. Traveling to each location was smooth by boat or bus, so I was very satisfied with my experience on both islands.

今回は水の上を歩く水牛車に乗りたくて、由布島が含まれるプランに参加しました。
当日は晴天で、島に向かうまでの船も風が気持ち良くて最高でした。
マングローブ遊覧では、スタッフの方が詳しく解説してくださるので、とてもわかりやすかったです。
水牛車に乗っている際もいろんな解説や三線の弾き語りまで満喫できました。
由布島に着くと、どれも美味しいお弁当を食べることができました。由布島の滞在時間は90分なのですが、ゆっくり色々見て回るには、少し短いかなと思いましたが、それでも十分満喫できました。
どの場所に行くにも、船やバスなどスムーズなので、二つの島を存分に楽しめて大満足です。

I had a great experience on my first mountain climb, challenging myself for 10 hours! It was a wonderful experience, possibly the first and last of its kind in my life! Haha. The guide was also a kind person, which was nice. Thank you!

初めての登山で10時間チャレンジできて、人生最初で最後の良い経験ができました！笑
ガイドさんも優しい方で良かったです^_^
ありがとうございました！

It was my son's first snorkeling tour! I was also looking forward to seeing a sea turtle for the first time, but I didn't expect to see it up close, so I was very excited. It was super cute. My son also seemed satisfied, saying he had fun seeing lots of fish. The guide was very attentive and made us feel at ease during the tour!

息子にとっては初めてのシュノーケリングツアー！
わたしもウミガメは初めてでとても楽しみにしていましたが、近距離で見れるとは思ってなかったので大興奮。めっちゃ可愛かったです。息子もたくさん魚見れて楽しかったと満足した様子。担当のお兄さんも丁寧に案内してくれて安心し参加できました！

I had a great experience taking photos with my boyfriend against the starry sky. The stars turned out beautifully in the pictures! The person who took the photos was also knowledgeable about delicious restaurants and tourist spots in Miyako Island, and I was happy to learn a lot from them. The recommended izakaya was very tasty! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!!

星空を背景に彼氏との写真を撮っていただきました。星空がすごく綺麗に撮れていて良い体験でした！！また撮影してくれた方は、宮古島の美味しいお店や観光スポットに詳しく、色々と教えてくれたのも嬉しかったです。おすすめの居酒屋とても美味しかったです！！良い想い出を、ありがとうございました！！！

We left the hotel at 4 AM, and the rain stopped partway, allowing us to see the beautiful stars in the night sky. Arriving at the Arakawa trailhead while it was still dark, we had our breakfast bento and set off before 6 AM. Among the tour participants, I was the oldest. With concerns about my back and knees, I joined the tour prepared to retire if I became a burden.

We proceeded along the long trolley track. The river was clear, and the morning sun was shining down, making it feel wonderful. I was worried about needing a restroom, so I brought a portable toilet, but I didn't end up using it. The guide provided thorough explanations about the restroom situation.

Finally, the steep ascent began. After walking for over two hours, I wondered if my legs could keep up. But I pushed myself to climb, as I had been training for this. After a good climb, the guide said that up to this point was just warm-up, and now the real challenge begins. We were told to push ourselves for three sets of five minutes with breaks in between, and everyone worked hard to keep up. If we could get through this, there would be plenty of sights to see, and the Jomon Sugi awaited us at the finish. We took breaks along the way and finally came face to face with the impressive Jomon Sugi! We admired it from various angles and took many photos.

Due to the guide's decision, we headed straight to Jomon Sugi without having lunch, allowing us to meet it when there were fewer people around. On the way back, we had our bento at a water source and enjoyed warm drinks. The guide took as many photos as we wanted and provided excellent explanations about Jomon Sugi, Yakusugi, and the formation of Yakushima. By the time we returned along the trolley track, it started pouring rain, but that too became a good memory. Thank you for the amazing experience. Thanks to everyone on the tour as well. I would love to visit Yakushima again and participate in another tour.

One thing… I was supposed to receive detailed departure time information the day before, but when it didn't come by night, I contacted them after 8 PM. Even while having dinner at the hotel and after my bath, I waited for the call, but I was informed of the departure time without any apology. That left me feeling disappointed.

朝４時ホテル出発、途中から雨が止んで、夜空の星がキレイに見えました。まだ暗い中、荒川登山口に到着。朝食のお弁当を食べ６時前に出発。ツアーの中では私が最年長。腰と膝に不安を抱えながら、迷惑をかけるようなら、リタイアも覚悟で参加しました。
長く続くトロッコ軌道を進みます。川が済んでいて朝日が降り注ぎとても気持ちがいいです。トイレも不安で携帯トイレを持って行きましたが使いませんでした。ガイドさんがトイレ事情もキチンと説明してくれます。
いよいよ急な上りが始まります。２時間強歩いた後に足が着いていくのか？でも根性で登ります。その為に筋トレを頑張ってきたのですから。いい登りだったなぁと思った後、ガイドさんから、ここまでは準備体操、ここからが本番です。５分×３セット、休みを入れるので５分は頑張って着いてくるよう言われ、皆必死になって頑張りました。ここさえ乗り切れば、後は見所もたくさんありますし、ゴールには縄文杉が待っています。所々で休憩を挟んで、感動の縄文杉にご対面！あらゆる角度から眺め、写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。
ガイドさんの判断で、昼食を取らずに縄文杉まで向かったので、人気が少ない内に縄文杉に会えました。帰りに水場があるところでお弁当を食べ、暖かい飲み物もご馳走になりました。写真を気が済むまで撮って下さり、縄文杉、屋久杉の説明から屋久島の成り立ち等々ガイドの内容も素晴らしかったです。帰りのトロッコ軌道の頃にはどしゃ降りの雨となってしまいましたが、それもいい思い出です。最高の経験をありがとうございました。ツアーの皆さまもありがとうございました。また屋久島に行ってツアーに参加したいです。
一つだけ…前日に詳しい出発時間の連絡が来る事になっていましたが、夜になっても来ないので、20時過ぎにこちらから連絡しました。ホテルでの食事中もお風呂の後も連絡を待っていたのに、詫びる事もなく出発時間を告げられました。それだけは残念な気持ちです。

Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island can all be visited in one day, making it quite efficient. I think it's a good idea to quickly explore and then decide which island you want to relax on during your next visit.

Personally, I recommend renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island (I chose a cart). I think it's more interesting to watch the cart from the outside. I believe it's better to freely explore with a rental bicycle (I chose the cart because I had already cycled around Taketomi Island the day before).

西表島、由布島、さらに竹富島を1日で回れるのでかなり高効率。ざっと回ってゆったりしたい島を決めて次回にそちらでゆったりするのがよいと思います。
竹富島は、個人的にはレンタサイクルがおすすめです（私は牛車にしましたが）。牛車は外から見ている方が面白いと思います。レンタサイクルでいろいろ自由に回るのがよいと思います（私は前日に竹富島でサイクリング済みだったので牛車を選んだのもあります）。

I participated in a mangrove canoe and Blue Cave snorkeling tour! The weather was perfect, and I was healed by the great nature of the mangroves, caves, and sea✨
I had experienced canoeing before, but it had been a while, so I was worried about how well I could paddle. However, the wind was calm, making it very easy to paddle, and most importantly, the guidance and instructions from the guides were precise, allowing me to enjoy the experience with great peace of mind!
The Blue Cave, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, didn't quite match the colors I had imagined due to the cloudy weather, but inside the cave was very mystical, and I had a wonderful experience!
There were many different fish while snorkeling, and it was a lot of fun. I tried free diving while wearing a life jacket, but it was definitely harder than it looked for the guides.
The guides took many photos of each moment of today's various experiences, allowing me to look back on the wonderful memories of the trip!

All the guides were kind and handsome, and they shared delicious places and ways to enjoy Ishigaki Island, making me feel that choosing this tour was a great decision✨

マングローブでカヌー＆青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました！お天気にも恵まれて、マングローブと洞窟、海の大自然に癒やされました〜✨
カヌーは以前も体験したことがありましたが、だいぶ前だったので上手く漕げるか不安でしたが、風も穏やかでとっても漕ぎやすく、何よりガイドさん達のレクチャーと先導が的確でとても安心して楽しめました！
ずっと行きたかった青の洞窟は、お天気が曇っていたのでイメージの色とはいかなかったですが、洞窟の中はとっても神秘的で、素敵な体験ができました！
シュノーケルでもいろんな魚がいてとても楽しかったです。ライフジャケットを着たままでの素潜りに挑戦しましたが、ガイドさんのようにはやっぱり難しかったです。
今日のいろんな体験の一コマ一コマを写真でたくさん撮影してくれて、素敵な旅の思い出を振り返ることができました！

ガイドのみなさんも皆優しくてイケメンで、石垣島の美味しいお店や楽しみ方を教えてくれたりして、このツアーを選んで良かったなぁと思います✨

There were a lot of sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos. I also got to meet clownfish, and they took some stunning pictures. Kometchi was easy to talk to, just as the reviews said. I'm really glad I chose this place. Miyako Island is the best!! I will participate again when I come back to Miyako Island, so thank you in advance! ★

ウミガメがいっぱいいて
写真もたくさんいただけて
クマノミにも会えて
迫力ある写真を撮ってくれます。
コメッチさんも話しやすく口コミ通りです。
本当にこちらにしてよかったです。
宮古島最高！！
次回宮古島に来たらまた参加しますので
よろしくお願いします★

The day before, we visited Jomon Sugi, and our guide made sure to engage us in enjoyable conversations to lift our tired spirits. The moss-covered forest we explored in the afternoon was stunning, especially with the beautiful play of light—it was truly moving. (We also visited the hot springs that appear during low tide at the time you advised us. It felt like it relieved the fatigue in my legs. How wonderful!)

前日　縄文杉に行き　体お疲れモードの私たちを　楽しく　お話も前日から広がるように　いろいろしてくださいました。
午後からの半日でついた　苔むす森は光の加減も素晴らしく　感動ものでした。
（教えていただいた　干潮の時間に干潮時に出てくる温泉にも行きました。足の疲れが取れた気がしました。不思議　！）

It took about four and a half hours to climb from the trailhead, and I finally reached the Jomon Sugi. Meeting the world's oldest Yakusugi was truly moving!

The guide was very kind, and we took some great photos at the scenic spots! They captured some wonderful angles for us!

During lunch, the guide treated us to miso soup, which was a great way to replenish the salt after sweating so much. This is definitely an experience worth having at least once in a lifetime!

登山口から登ること、約4時間半。目的の縄文杉にたどり着きました。世界最古の屋久杉とご対面でき、感慨ひとしおです！

ガイドの方がとても親切で、写真スポットでパシャリ！　いいアングルでとっていただきました！

昼食時には、ガイドさんよりお味噌汁をごちそうになり、汗だくの身体にいい塩分補給になりました。
一生に一度は、体験したいですね～‼

I was moved to see sea turtles up close, and the photos really captured the clarity of the water and the turtles' expressions. It had been quite a while since I last went snorkeling, but the guide was kind and explained the techniques and precautions clearly, which made me feel at ease. This became one of my best memories in Miyako Island.

近くでウミガメに会えて感動しましたし、写真でも海の透明度とウミガメの表情がよくわかりました。
かなり久々のシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんは親切で、やり方や注意点をわかりやすく説明してくれて安心できました。宮古島での最高の思い出の1つとなりました。

I was concerned about being a lunch refugee, so having lunch included was very helpful, and I enjoyed it deliciously♪

Everything in Iriomote and Yufu Island was fresh, and the guidance was great. I would like to go on the same course again.

Thank you! ^ ^

昼食難民が気になったので、ランチ付きはとても助かりましたし、美味しく頂きました♪

西表も由布島も全てが新鮮で案内も良く、また同じコースで行きたいと思いました。

ありがとうございます^ ^

We participated as a couple! The explanations were easy to understand, and we got to see several sea turtles and even Nemo! The ocean and coral were beautiful, and we were truly moved. We enjoyed it for longer than we expected and definitely want to participate again!!! It was a wonderful honeymoon! Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加させてもらいました！
説明も分かりやすくてウミガメも
何匹か会えてニモも見れました！
海も珊瑚も綺麗で感動しました
思ったより長い時間楽しめて絶対に
また参加したいです！！！
いい新婚旅行になりました！
ありがとうございました。

I applied to capture memorable photos on my anniversary with my partner. The service satisfaction is at its maximum! The stars were truly beautiful, and it was the best night sky of my life.

The shooting spot is very close to the parking lot; it's dark, but they illuminate the area, allowing for safe movement. Once you arrive at the shooting spot, you receive an explanation of the precautions for the shoot, and it starts right away. The person in charge was easy to talk to and left a very good impression.

The shooting conditions can be affected by the weather and other environmental factors, but they inform you about such situations in advance via email, which is reassuring. I highly recommend giving it a try!

恋人との記念日に思い出の写真を残そうと考え応募しました。サービス満足度はマックスです！
星が本当に綺麗で、人生で一番の夜空でした。
撮影スポットは駐車場からすぐそばのところで、暗いですがライトで照らしていただき安全に移動できます。撮影スポットに到着したら撮影時の注意点の説明を受け、すぐに開始します。担当していただいた方は話しやすい人で印象がとても良かったです。
天候などの環境に撮影状況は左右されますが、そんなときの対応も事前にメールで知らされているので、安心です。ぜひ一度応募してみてください！！

The sky was filled with stars as if it were a planetarium, and the weather was so nice that we could even see the Milky Way. The photographer was kind and played music while shooting, which made it a lot of fun!

一面がプラネタリウムかのように星が見え天気もよかったので天の川まで見えました。カメラマンさんも優しく音楽をかけながらの撮影でとても楽しかったです！

On the day of the activity, due to reports of rough seas near the Blue Cave, we opted for canoeing and beach snorkeling, both of which turned out to be wonderful experiences. The guides shared their knowledge about the location and the marine life, which made it even more enjoyable. They also checked on our well-being closely, and when there were concerns about swimming, they helped us with floaties, allowing us to have a carefree time.

Personally, I was particularly enchanted by the adorable clownfish and the shaded spots during the mangrove canoeing, which left a lasting impression on me. If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend giving it a try!

当日は青の洞窟付近の海が荒れているとの情報により、カヌー&ビーチシュノーケリングとなりましたが、どちらも素敵な体験ができました。
場所や生き物の知識を教えてくださるので、より楽しめました。
また、細かく体調の確認をしてくださったり、泳ぎの心配がある時は浮き輪で引っ張っていただいたりなど、何不自由なく楽しむことができました。

個人的には、可愛いハマクマノミと、マングローブカヌーでの日陰ポイントがとても素敵で記憶に残りました。
迷っている方がいらしたら、是非体験してみてほしいです。

This experience turned out to be a very enjoyable trip.

In particular, the snorkeling in the sea was so much fun that I didn't have enough time. The crystal-clear water was filled with so many fish that I couldn't even count them, and I really felt connected to nature.

Also, the guides who led the tour were very kind, which made me feel safe participating! They were especially gentle with the children who were not good at swimming, and I felt their warmth.

Thank you for this experience! ☺︎

今回、こちらの体験をした結果とても楽しい旅になりました。

とくにシュノーケリングの海は時間が足りないほど楽しかったです。
真透明な海に見つけきれないほどたくさんの魚が泳いでおり、とても自然を感じることができました。

また、ツアーを先導いただいたお兄さんお姉さん達はとても性格の良い方で、安心して参加することができました！
一緒に参加していた泳ぎが苦手な子供にもこれでもかと思うほど優しく接しておられ、温かさを感じました。

今回はありがとうございました☺︎

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to experience the water buffalo and see the mangroves! It ended in the early afternoon, so even though it was the last day, I was able to enjoy it until the very end! The mangrove tour was fun, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand, allowing us to see various plants. We crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo, where we could touch them and take photos! We even got to hear folk songs sung by the water buffalo, which created a fantastic atmosphere. Visiting Iriomote Island and Yubu Island made this tour really great! Since it was sunny, I was able to take lots of beautiful photos.

水牛体験とマングローブが見たくてこのツアーを申し込みました！お昼過ぎに終わるので最終日だったのですが最後の最後まで遊べて充実できました！マングローブツアーはガイドの方の説明がわかりやすくいろんな植物が見れた楽しかったです。由布島まで水牛で渡り触って写真も撮れました！水牛の中で民謡を歌ってもらい雰囲気も最高でした。西表島と由布島に行けてこのツアーはすごくよかったです！
晴れてたので素敵な写真もいっぱい撮れました。

On the last day of my two-night, three-day trip to Ishigaki, I chose a morning-only plan. We saw the mangroves from the boat, and it was very mystical. The guide explained everything clearly, which made it easy to understand. The boat was designed so that we could see the mangroves up close from both sides, making for a beautiful view.

On the way to Yubu, we rode on a water buffalo cart. On the way there, a young lady played the shamisen and sang, which really gave us a taste of Okinawa. The buffalo was also adorable. It was great that we could take free photos with the water buffalo at Yubu.

It was a quick half-day, so I thought I would like to do a full day of sightseeing next time. It was a truly wonderful experience!

石垣旅行二泊三日の最終日に行きました！！
午前のみのプランを選びました。船からマングローブを見たのですが、とても神秘的でした。ガイドさんが一つ一つ説明してくれてわかりやすかったです。船も両方の座席からマングローブが近くで見れるようにしてくれていたので綺麗に見えました。
由布に向かう際、水牛車に乗りました。行きはお姉さんが三味線を弾き語りしてくれて、沖縄感を感じさせられました。牛も可愛かったです。由布で無料で水牛と写真が撮れるところも良かったです。
あっという間の半日だったので、次回は一日中観光したいと思いました。
とても素敵な体験ができました！！

I encountered four sea turtles and enjoyed the breathtaking views in the clear, beautiful ocean. The support from the instructor was excellent, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and those who are not very good at swimming. They also shared interesting facts about sea turtles and coral, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!

4匹のウミガメに出会え、透明度の高いキレイな海での絶景を楽しみました。インストラクターのお兄さんのサポートも手厚く、初めての方・泳ぎがあまり得意ではない方でも安心して、楽しむことができると思います。ウミガメやサンゴに関する豆知識も教えてくれて、とても素晴らしい体験でした。おすすめです！

We gathered on-site and took several photos in recommended poses and our favorite poses. The staff's hospitality and the atmosphere they created were also great.

現地に集合しておすすめのポーズ、好きなポーズで数枚写真撮影しました。
スタッフの方の接遇や雰囲気づくりも良かったです。
