All Reviews for Okinawa Snorkeling

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

The staff were all very kind and helpful. Although most of the guests were foreigners, it was a friendly and enjoyable day.

スタッフさんが皆様親切で助かりました。
外国人がほとんどでしたが和気あいあいで楽しい一日となりました。

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!

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♪

On the day of the tour, we were lucky to have great weather, and the sea was calm with high visibility. There were corals of various shapes and colors, a variety of fish, sea snakes, and even sea turtles. Unfortunately, due to the tides, Barasu Island remained a mirage. (laughs)

The guide was very attentive, providing advice and leading us to the points of interest, so I had no worries at all.

I was able to have a wonderful time. Thank you very much. I definitely want to request this again next time.

ツアー当日は運良く天気に恵まれ、海は穏やかで透明度も高かったです。色々な形や色のサンゴ、さまざまな魚、ウミヘビにウミガメもいました。ただあいにく潮の関係で、バラス島は幻の島のままで終わってしまいました。(笑)

ガイドさんも丁寧にアドバイスしてポイントまで誘導してくださるので、何の心配もいりませんでした。

楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。ありがとうございました。
ぜひ次回もお願いしたいと思います。

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。

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。

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。

It has been many years since I first visited the Blue Cave, and I never thought I would be able to bring my family along. It was still beautifully blue and clear! This time, I also paddled a kayak and had the experience of feeling the waves. It was my first time doing this, and while there were challenges, I felt a sense of accomplishment. If I have the energy next time, I would like to challenge myself again.

10何年が前に青の洞窟と初めて行ってから時が経ち、家族も連れて来れるとは思っていなかったですが、変わらず青く透き通っていて綺麗かったです！
今回はカヤックも漕いで、波を感じながらの体験をさせていただきました。
初めてのことをあり、苦労はありましたが、達成感はありました。
次回も体力があれば挑戦したいと思います。

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。

The weather was great, and I had an amazing time! The guide, Yume, provided clear explanations on the mangroves and how to paddle a canoe. We also took a lot of photos, which became wonderful memories!

天気も良く最高に楽しめました！ガイドのユメさんのマングローブやカヌーの乗り方の説明も分かりやすかったです。写真も沢山撮って頂き良い思い出になりました！

The fish are close by.
The coral is beautiful.
The sea turtles don't escape.
The ocean is incredibly beautiful.
It truly became a wonderful memory!
The Blue Cave had a mystical color that mixed blue and green!

魚と距離が近い。
珊瑚が綺麗。
ウミガメが逃げない。
海がものすごく綺麗。
本当にいい思い出になりました！
青の洞窟は、青と緑色が混ざった様な色で、神秘的でした！

It was my first time canoeing, and I was able to paddle quite a distance on my own while thoroughly enjoying nature. The guide provided excellent support, so I felt safe and had a great time. It was an experience that would have been impossible to do alone, and I had so much fun. Ishigaki Island is truly beautiful, and I definitely want to go back. Thank you very much.

初めてのカヌーでしたが、結構な距離を自力で移動させてもらい、たっぷり自然を満喫できました。ガイドさんもしっかりフォローしてくださってたので安心して楽しめました。自分たちだけでは絶対無理な体験をさせてもらって、とても楽しかったです。本当にきれいなものがいっぱいで石垣島サイコーです。また、行きたいです。
ありがとうございました。

I went to Ishigaki Island to enjoy the blue sea and starry sky, but unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy for all four days. I was looking forward to snorkeling, and although we made it to the location, it was canceled. It was disappointing, but I appreciated that they had prepared well for us to enter the sea, and I gained more trust in them for making the decision to cancel without hesitation for safety reasons. Thank you to the staff who provided helpful information and entertained us with games on the way there and back. I will definitely come back for a revenge trip. I look forward to seeing you again then.

青い海と星空を目的に石垣島に行きましたが、残念ながら4日間とも曇りと雨😭
楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングは現地まで行きましたが、中止に。残念でしたが、海に入れるようにしっかり準備してくださってたのに、安全の為に躊躇なく中止の決断されたことに、むしろ信頼できると好感度アップでした。行き帰りお役立ち情報やゲームで楽しませてくれたスタッフさん、ありがとうございました。必ずリベンジに行きます。その時はまた、よろしくお願いします。

We participated as a family of three. It was our first time snorkeling, and since we were going to a cave, I had some anxiety right up until the moment we started, even though I had read about the experience. I trusted the instructor's words that it would be totally fine even if I couldn't swim or was new to snorkeling, and off we went into the sea.

The clarity of the water, the mystical colors of the cave, and the guidance from the instructor made it truly the best experience ever. I had so much fun that I can't even remember what I was worried about. We took a lot of photos and videos, which became great memories. I regret not participating sooner. It was so amazing that I even signed up for the hotel’s snorkeling tour the next day (although it ended up being canceled due to the waves). I definitely want to participate again!

家族3人で参加させていただきました。
初めてのシュノーケル、しかも洞窟まで行くということで、体験談は読んでいたものの寸前まで不安がありました。
泳ぎが出来なくても、シュノーケルが初めてでもぜんぜん大丈夫てです！というインストラクターの方の言葉を信じ、いざ海へ。
海の透明度、洞窟の神秘的な色、インストラクターの方の誘導、ホントにホントに最高の体験でした。何が不安だったのか思い出せないくらい、楽しくて夢中になりました。
写真、ビデオも沢山撮っていただいて、それも良い記念になりました。
なぜ今まで参加しなかったのか後悔です。
あまりの素晴らしさに、翌日ホテルのシュノーケルツアーに申し込んだくらいです。
（翌日は波の関係で中止になってしまいましたが）
また絶対参加したいです

I wanted to enjoy the nature of Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for SUP and snorkeling. Unfortunately, the weather didn't turn out to be the clear skies I had hoped for, but thanks to our guide and everyone else in the same team, I had a very enjoyable and wonderful day.

During the morning SUP experience, we had a very cheerful guide, and my wife, daughter, and the other participants were all smiles. SUP surrounded by the mangroves and banyan trees in the great outdoors was fantastic.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling. Although it was cloudy, the underwater scenery was more beautiful than I had imagined, and the guide was very thorough and kind in his explanations, allowing us to fully enjoy the waters of Ishigaki. Additionally, the guide shared recommendations for delicious places to eat, which was very helpful.

石垣島の自然を楽しみたかったので、SUPとシュノーケリングにエントリーしました。
天候は、残念ながら期待していた快晴とまではならなかったのですが、ガイドさんや、同じチームで参加された皆さんのお陰で、とても楽しく素敵な1日を過ごすことができました。
午前中のSUP体験ではとてもオモシロ陽気なガイドさんがついてくれて、妻も娘も他の参加者もずっと笑顔でした。マングローブやガジュマルの木に囲まれた大自然の中でのSUPは最高でした。
午後からはシュノーケリング。天気はくもりだったのですが、海の中は想像以上に美しく、ガイドさんもとても丁寧で親切に説明してくれるので、石垣の海を満喫する事ができました。
また、ガイドさんは美味しいお店など石垣の楽しみかたも教えてくれて参考になりました。

Iriomote Island and Barasu Island Snorkeling and Mangrove Canoeing Experience

Recently, I had the opportunity to experience snorkeling at Barasu Island and canoeing through the mangrove forest in the hidden gem of Okinawa, Iriomote Island. A day surrounded by nature on this island was truly a series of extraordinary moments!

1. Snorkeling at Barasu Island
First, we took a 10-minute boat cruise to Barasu Island. This small uninhabited island is made up of coral fragments, featuring sparkling white sandy beaches and emerald green waters. Once I donned my snorkel and entered the sea, it felt like a natural aquarium! Colorful tropical fish swam right in front of me, and vibrant coral reefs spread out beneath the surface. The water clarity was exceptional, allowing me to see far into the distance, which was breathtaking. The boundary with Barasu Island was quite deep, making me feel a bit uneasy. Before I knew it, I had lost track of time while swimming in delight.

2. Canoeing in the Mangrove Forest
After snorkeling, I sought a more leisurely experience by joining a canoe tour through the mangrove forest. Along the rivers of Iriomote Island lies one of Japan's largest mangrove forests, where you can explore at a relaxed pace while paddling. The guide carefully taught us how to paddle, which was reassuring. As we glided smoothly over the calm water, the sounds of birds chirping and the wind rustling through the jungle made me feel as if I were in another world. According to the guide, this mangrove forest plays a crucial role in protecting the island from typhoons and storm surges. I learned that one particular leaf was yellow because it contained salt and was existing as a dry leaf, which reminded me of the strength and beauty of nature.

3. Reflecting on the Experience
The beautiful sea of Barasu Island and the mysterious mangrove forest allowed me to fully experience the grandeur of Iriomote Island's nature. I felt the richness of the ocean through snorkeling and was healed by the tranquility of the forest while canoeing—this combination is simply the best! Moreover, the nature of Iriomote Island is not only beautiful but also a place where one can truly appreciate the balance of the ecosystem and the importance of environmental conservation. I hope many people can enjoy this wonderful experience! Next time, I would like to participate in a night tour and meet the Yaeyama fireflies and other nocturnal creatures!

西表島バラス島シュノーケリングとマングローブ林カヌー体験談
先日、沖縄の秘境・西表島でバラス島シュノーケリングとマングローブ林カヌーを体験してきました。大自然に囲まれたこの島での一日は、まさに非日常の連続でした！
1. バラス島でのシュノーケリング
まずはバラス島へ向かうため、船で約10分のクルーズ。バラス島はサンゴのかけらが堆積してできた小さな無人島で、白く輝く砂浜とエメラルドグリーンの海が広がっています。
シュノーケルを装着し海に入ると、そこはまるで天然の水族館！色鮮やかな熱帯魚たちが目の前を泳ぎ、元気なサンゴ礁が広がっていました。透明度も抜群で、遠くまでクリアに見渡せるのも感動的でした。バラス島との境界線は、深くなっており足が少しすくみました。夢中になって泳いでいるうちに、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。
2. マングローブ林でのカヌー体験
シュノーケリングの後は、のんびりとした時間を求めてマングローブ林のカヌーツアーへ。西表島の川沿いには、日本最大級のマングローブ林が広がっており、ゆったりとカヌーを漕ぎながら探検することができます。ガイドさんが漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくれたので安心。穏やかな水面を滑るように進んでいくと、周囲のジャングルから鳥のさえずりや風の音が聞こえてきて、まるで別世界にいるような気分でした。ガイドさんの話によると、このマングローブ林は台風や高潮から島を守る大切な役割を果たしているそうで、また一つの葉っぱだけが黄色くなっており、それは塩分などを含み枯葉として存在しているとの豆情報を教えてくれたりと自然の力強さと美しさを改めて感じることができました。
3. 体験を終えて
バラス島の美しい海と、神秘的なマングローブ林。この2つのアクティビティを通じて、西表島の壮大な自然を全身で感じることができました。シュノーケリングで海の豊かさを体感し、カヌーで森の静けさに癒される——この組み合わせは最高です！
また、西表島の自然はただ美しいだけでなく、生態系のバランスや環境保全の大切さも実感できる場所でした。ぜひ、多くの人にこの素晴らしい体験を味わってほしいと思います！
次回はナイトツアーにも参加して、ヤエヤマホタルや夜の生き物たちにも出会ってみたいなと思いました♪

The staff were very attentive and taught us well, so we were able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind! The activities included diving, snorkeling, and whale watching, making it a fantastic value for the price!

スタッフの方々が丁寧に教えて下さったので安心して楽しく体験することができました！
ダイビングにシュノーケル、ホエールウォッチングと盛りだくさんでコスパ抜群でした！

After paddling 1.5 km by sea kayak, we finally reached the entrance of the Blue Cave. We prepared for snorkeling on the rocky shore and then headed into the Blue Cave! The beautiful blue glow inside the cave is a sight you must see for yourself. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling among the coral reefs, greeting the colorful fish while playing with jellyfish. After snorkeling, we paddled back 1.5 km to the shop. The guide was very attentive and taught us many things, making it a truly enjoyable experience! It was a very satisfying tour! Thank you very much for your hospitality. Thank you!

シーカヤックで片道1.5kmをえっちらおっちらひたすら漕いで、青の洞窟の入り口まで。。。
岩場でシュノーケリングの準備をして、いざ青の洞窟へ！！！
美しい青色に輝く洞窟の中はぜひご自分の目でご覧いただきたい景色・風景です。
その後、珊瑚礁を海月と戯れながらシュノーケリングで美しい色のお魚さんたちにご挨拶♪
シュノーケリングの後は再びシーカヤックを1.5km漕いでショップまで。。。
ガイドさんがつきっきりで色々なことを教えてくださいますし、楽しいの一言です！
大満足のツアーでした！！
大変お世話になりました。
ありがとうございました♪

The staff provided us, a couple lacking in physical strength and swimming ability, with attentive support. Thanks to them, we had a truly wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

体力不足と泳力不足の私たち夫婦を丁寧にサポートしてくださいました。お陰様でとても素晴らしい経験をさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。

I was taken to the Blue Cave by Pipi!
I have participated in snorkeling in Ishigaki several times, but this time I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle!

I was able to see many colorful fish, and I am very satisfied!
They also carefully teach you how to use the fins and mask, so I think it's reassuring for first-timers!

ピピさんに青の洞窟に連れて行ってもらいました！
石垣のシュノーケリングには何度か参加したことがありますが、今回は運良くウミガメにも出会うことができました！

カラフルなお魚もたくさん見ることができ大満足です！
フィンやマスクの使い方も丁寧に教えていただけるので初めての方でも安心だと思います！

There were about 30 participants in the mangrove and canoe activity in Iriomote Island, and I was the only one alone. The canoeing was as expected from start to finish, except for one point. Even though it was a two-person canoe, it was faster overall than being alone. In the end, there was quite a distance to return to the shore. I paddled really hard. I might be the only one who was sweating as much as everyone else. Canoeing allowed me to have my own space, so it was enjoyable. Thank you very much.

人数全体は30名程の西表島マングローブとカヌー参加もお一人様は私だけ。カヌー始めから終わりまで一点を除き想定内。
2人で漕ぐカヌーはカップルと言えどトータルではお一人様よりスピードが出ますね。
最後、岸まで戻るにまあまあ距離ありました。なかなか一生懸命に漕ぎました。汗。それで何とか皆さんと同じぐらいで💦は私だけかも。
カヌーは1人の世界になれるので、楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The clarity of the ocean was exceptionally beautiful, and I was able to see clownfish and other beautiful fish that I often see in aquariums up close, providing a truly extraordinary experience. The sky was clear, and I was also able to take photos with sea turtles, which made me very satisfied!

海の透明度も抜群に綺麗で、カクレクマノミやど水族館でよく見る綺麗な魚を手が届く距離で見れて非日常体験を味わうことができました。
空も快晴でウミガメ越しの写真も撮れて大満足でした！

I really thought there are fish in the ocean. It was amazing to see colorful fish swimming right in front of me! The water was a bit cold, so I want to come back when it's warmer.

本当に海って魚いるんだなって思いました。
色鮮やかな魚が目の前で泳いでて凄く不思議でした!!
水が少し冷たかったのでまた温かいときに来たいです。

The ferry to Uehara Port was canceled, so we headed from Ohara Port instead. This is my second time on Iriomote Island, but it was the first time I experienced such cold weather in March. I was disappointed that the snorkeling at Barasu Island was changed to canyoning and canoeing, but thanks to the tour instructors Taro and Yume, we were able to create very enjoyable memories. Next time, I want to bring my older child, who couldn't come this time, and have a revenge trip to Barasu Island on a sunny, hot day!

上原港行きの船が欠航になり大原港から向かいました。西表島は２回目ですが、3月でこんなに寒かったことは初めてで、バラス島シュノ-ケリング&supもキャニオニング&カヌーに変更になり、がっかりしておりましたが、ツア-インストラクターのタロウ君、ゆめちゃんが盛り上げてくれたおかげでとても楽しい思い出を作ることができました。
次は今回来なかった上の子も連れて、晴天の暑い日にバラス島リベンジしたいです！

The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing many stories about the islands during our travels, which made it enjoyable. We had a fulfilling day riding in an ox cart and paddling a canoe to see the mangroves.

One disappointing aspect was that I had imagined we would be able to explore deeper into the jungle while canoeing, but in reality, we only paddled a little on a large river and landed at a small area with mangroves for a brief walk, which was a bit different from what I had envisioned.

Overall, I am satisfied. Thank you for the valuable experience.

ガイドさんが気さくで物知りで移動中もたくさんの島に関するお話をしてくださり楽しめました。牛車に乗ったり、カヌーを漕いでマングローブを見たりとても充実した一日になりました。

1つ残念だったのは、ジャングルの中をカヌー漕ぎながら探索できるのかなと勝手に思っていましたが、実際は大きな川をカヌーで少し漕いで、小さなマングローブ群なあるところに上陸して少し散策しただけだったのが想像と少し違いました。

全体的には満足です。
貴重な体験ありがとうございました。

I participated in a tour of mangrove canoeing and Yufushima. It was a day with strong rain and wind, but I was able to paddle vigorously, and inside the mangroves, the wind calmed down, allowing me to enjoy the scenery while listening to the guide's explanations. The cows on Yufushima were very cute.

マングローブカヌーと由布島観光のツアーに参加しました。雨と風の強い日でしたが、思いっきり漕げましたし、マングローブの中では風がおさまるので、ゆったりと景色を楽しみながら、ガイドさんの解説を聞くことができました。由布島は牛さんがとても可愛かったです。
