I participated in a tour that included mangrove stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), exploring a limestone cave, and landing on Balas Island.
The other guests were also first-timers at SUP, but they were able to stand up, so it might be okay even if you don't have much time for exercise (^。^).
The limestone cave trek was also a serious adventure and fantastic!
It was a full day packed with activities!
マングローブSUPと鍾乳洞の探検、バラス島の上陸のツアーに参加しました。
私以外のお客さんもSUPは初めてでも立てていたので、運動に時間がなくても大丈夫かもです(^。^)
鍾乳洞も本格的なトレッキングで最高!
1日盛りだくさんのツアーできた!

I really wanted to go to Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, and I found this tour just in the nick of time! Thank you for accommodating my last-minute reservation ^_^
The guide's hospitality was incredible!
Everyone was so kind, and I was truly moved. They also took some really beautiful photos.
P.S. Was there another photo of me diving while snorkeling?
川平湾と青の洞窟にはどうしても行きたくて、予約ギリギリで見つけたツアーでした!ギリギリの予約で対応してくださってありがとうございます^_^

At first, I made a reservation through another site, but I was kindly informed over the phone that booking through VELTRA would be more advantageous. The instructor on the day was also very polite, and I was able to easily enjoy both SUP and snorkeling for the first time. They took a lot of photos, so I think it will become a wonderful travel memory.
最初は他のサイトから予約したのですが、VELTRAから予約するとお得だとご丁寧にお電話で教えてもらいました。
当日のインストラクターの方も大変丁寧で、初めてのSUPもシュノーケリングも難なくできました。写真もたくさん撮っていただけるので、素晴らしい旅の思い出になると思います。

One of our members wasn't very good at swimming, so we chose snorkeling instead of diving. If you cling to the float on the way to the snorkeling point, they will carry you, and I think it's safe. We were fortunate with the weather, but because of that, there were many people, so be careful of beginner divers suddenly surfacing. The staff at the shop were very kind and reassuring. The sea is incredibly beautiful, so for those who usually don't dive, just putting your face in the water will bring great joy from the stunning underwater scenery and tropical fish.
あまり泳ぎの得意でないメンバーがいたので、ダイビングではなくシュノーケルにしました。
ポイントまで、フロートにしがみついていれば、運んでくれますし、危険はないと思います。
天候には恵まれましたが、その分人が多くて突然浮上してくる初心者ダイバーには気をつけてください。
ショップの方もとても親切で安心です。
とても綺麗な海なので、普段ダイビングをしない人だと顔をつけているだけで、広がる美しい海中と熱帯魚に大喜びだと思います。

I participated in the morning half-day tour on June 4th!
It was my first time snorkeling, and I felt a bit anxious about going alone. However, the staff were friendly and explained everything clearly, which quickly eased my worries.
The waters around Kerama were incredibly beautiful, with deep shades of blue and green that left me in awe. I loved seeing the shimmering schools of fish. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to see a turtle too.
I appreciated the hotel pickup service! They also took photos, which made for great memories. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you!
6/4午前半日に参加しました!
初めてのシュノーケリング、一人参加に不安をおぼえつつの参加でした。スタッフの皆さんが気さくで、わかりやすく教えてくれたのですぐに不安はふっとびました。
慶良間の海はとてもきれいで深い碧と青に感動。魚の群れがキラキラ見えてすごくよかった。よくをいえば亀にも会いたかったなぁ。

Such an incredible day! From the very beginning everything ran smoothly thanks to the beautiful staff who tried their best to speak English and accommodate to everyones needs, including a bus pickup service from my front door step in the morning and return at the end of the day!
On arrival we were able to store valuables, given a great quality wetsuit to wear for the day and welcomed onto the boat for the day where complimentary drinks and lunch were provided (vegetarian friendly!) as well as shower, changeroom and toilet facilities and a great safety briefing and run down of the day from staff in various languages.
The stops were incredible and thanks to the staff we were able to download images of each destination for free which will definitley be held onto for years! The water was warm and as stunning kerama blue as you expect and we were lucky enough to see so many fish and a few turtles whilst exploring!
Overall a really great and unforgettable day which ultimately came down to a really well working team of guides!
Tip for anyone going on this, regardless of if you have a history of travel sickness, bring some medication with you and some sun protection!
Thank you for having taken your time to provide us with your valuable feedback。

I originally booked a one-day tour, but due to my mistake, I realized I wouldn't make it in time for the boat after the tour, so I urgently changed to a half-day tour the day before. It was during the rainy season, and the forecast was cloudy with occasional rain, so I gave up on snorkeling and opted for a tour that included only trekking and canoeing.
I was picked up from the Paina Maya Hotel at 9:30 and arrived at Monsoon about 30 minutes later. It was a nice viewpoint with a view of the sea beyond the forest, and there were two horses while we waited for the other guests to arrive. Once everyone was gathered, we moved by car to the canoe launch site.
We boarded the canoe aiming for the Pinaisara Falls, progressing through the mangroves. The weather was cloudy and the temperature was just right, and we arrived at the canoe drop-off point in about 30 minutes. From there, we aimed for the waterfall basin on foot. We climbed for about 30 minutes through a muddy jungle, navigating rocky areas and many roots, until we reached the waterfall basin. The water splashes felt refreshing, and the height of 50 meters was impressive. Here, we had some free time to eat the lunch that the staff brought and take photos. After about an hour, we returned the same way.
◎ Staff
Most of the staff were in their 20s, very friendly, and helped create a lively atmosphere.
◎ Other guests
There was a group of 10 people and two solo female travelers. I got along well with the solo travel group.
◎ Clothing
The canoe ride can get your pants quite wet. They provide shoes, hats, and waterproof bags for rent.
Thank you for accommodating the change in the tour content despite the short notice. Since it seems there are accommodations available, I would like to visit again for an overnight stay next time.
元々こちらの1日ツアーを申し込んでいましたが、私の手違いで、ツアー後乗る船に間に合わない事が発覚し、急遽前日に半日ツアーに変更して頂きました。ちょうど梅雨時で、曇り時々雨との予報だったので、シュノーケリングは諦め、トレッキング、カヌーのみのツアーに。
パイヌマヤホテルから9時半に送迎して頂き、30分程でモンスーンさんに到着。森の向こうに海の見える見晴らしのいい高台で、馬が2頭いて、ほかのお客さんが到着するまで少し待機。
みんな揃ったら車でカヌー乗り場まで移動。
ピナイサーラの滝を目指してカヌーに乗船。
マングローブの中を進みます。曇りで気温もちょうど良く、30分くらいでカヌー降り場に到着。
ここからトレッキングで滝壺を目指します。ぬかるんだジャングルの中、途中岩場や根っこが多い道を30分ほど登っていき、滝壺に到着。
水しぶきが気持ちよくて、50メートルの高さに圧感です。ここで、スタッフさんが持ってきてくれたお弁当を食べたり、写真とったりゆっくり自由時間。1時間ほどしてから元の道を帰りました。
◎スタッフさん
皆さん20代の若めの方が多く、とても気さくで盛り上げてくれました。
◎ほかのお客さん
10名の団体さん、一人旅女性2名
一人旅グループさんと仲良くさせていただきました。
◎服装
カヌーで結構ズボンが濡れます。
靴、帽子、防水バッグは貸し出ししてくれます。
今回は、急だったにも関わらず、ツアーの内容を変更して頂きありがとうございました。
宿泊施設もあるようなので、今度は泊まりで訪れたいと思います。

This is my second time participating. The instructor was the same as last time, Mr. Osaka. The conversation was enjoyable, and I was the only one there, so I could talk without worrying about others. This time the weather was good, and unlike last time when the fish wouldn't come close without bait, this time many fish came close enough to reach without any bait. The Blue Cave was truly vibrant blue, and depending on the angle, it occasionally changed to a greenish color, which was very beautiful. I'm not very confident in my physical strength as I'm nearing my sixties, but with snorkeling, as long as I float, I can easily be taken to the "Blue Cave." I participated alone again this time and had many photos taken, but next time I definitely want to bring my wife along.
Thank you, Mr. Osaka, for your help.
今回で2回目の参加です。
インストラクター前回と同じ大坂さん。
会話も楽しく、しかも私一人の貸し切り状態で、周りに気兼ねなく話す事が出来ました。
今回は天候もよく、魚も前回は餌がないと近くに来てくれませんでしたが、今回は餌が無くても近くに手が届くくらいにたくさんの魚が寄って来てくれました。
青の洞窟も本当に青々していて、角度によっては時折緑がかった色に変わり大変奇麗でした。
体力に自信ない還暦近くの私ですが、シュノーケリングは浮いていれば「青の洞窟」まで連れて行ってもらえるので大変楽に参加できます。
今回も一人の参加で写真もたくさん撮っていただきましたが、次回こそ家内を連れて参加したいと思います。
大坂さん、お世話になりました。

I participated in a half-day tour on Wednesday morning, May 22, 2019. It was my first time snorkeling, and I was anxious, but I had a great time. I was scared because I couldn't remove the instructor's flotation device until the end, so I wasn't able to swim on my own, which was disappointing. Next time I go to Okinawa, I plan to challenge myself to swim independently! I was really happy to see many beautiful fish and coral reefs in Okinawa. After a break, we went to a spot for snorkeling where we could see turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any, maybe because of my bad luck. I hope to see turtles next time I visit Okinawa! I also thought it would have been nice to have a photo service for the fish we saw that day. I was pleased that there was a drink service during our break on the boat! Additionally, I truly appreciate the round-trip transportation to and from the hotel. Thank you very much! I would like to use this service again!
2019.05.22水曜日午前中半日ツアーに参加しました(^ ^)シュノーケリングが初めてで不安でしたが楽しめました(^.^)明日が付かないので怖くてインストラクターの浮き具を最後まで外せなくて自力で泳げなかったのが残念でした。次回また沖縄に行った際は自力で泳げるようにリベンジしようと思います!沖縄の綺麗な魚やサンゴ礁を沢山見れて嬉しかったです(^.^)休憩を挟み2回目のシュノーケリングの時に亀がいるスポットに行きましたが日頃の行いが悪いのか見れませんでした。また沖縄に行った時には亀が見れたらいいなと思います!

Initially, we had planned to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to unfortunate bad weather, we changed to SUP in the mangroves. There was another couple with us, making a total of four participants. I had never done SUP before and thought I might not even be able to get on, but my husband was able to stand and ride from the very beginning. The other woman and I paddled while sitting. It was quite difficult at first; we couldn't go in the direction we wanted and struggled to gain speed, but thanks to the staff's careful guidance, I managed to muster the courage to stand and ride partway through.
In the afternoon, we were scheduled to go snorkeling at the Blue Cave and then move to a waterfall for shower climbing, but it was canceled due to high waves. Since we didn't have any other plans in mind, we asked the staff if there was anything else we could do, and they suggested SUP at a place called Futsuu River, which we participated in. It was wider than the mangroves we visited in the morning and had a sense of openness with not many other people around. They also quickly sent us the photos taken that day, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you, staff member Kuri-chan, for taking care of us all day! I hope to come back next year and have a revenge SUP at Kabira Bay with PIPI again!
It was a day full of satisfaction! The muscle pain the next day was terrible, though... haha.
当初は川平湾でのSUPの予定でしたが、あいにくの悪天候だったためマングローブでのSUPに変更になりました。私たちの他にカップルがもう一組いて、計4人での参加となりました。SUPはやったことがなく、乗ることすら出来ないのではないかと思いましたが、主人の方は最初から立って乗ることが出来ました。私と、もう一人の女性は座りながら漕ぎました。中々最初は難しく、行きたい方向に行けなかったり上手くスピードが出せなかったりしましたが、スタッフの方の丁寧なご指導もあり、途中から勇気を出して立って乗ることも出来ました。
午後は青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングと滝へ移動しての、シャワークライミングの予定でしたが、波が高いため中止になってしまいました。私たちは特に他の予定は考えていなかったためスタッフさんに何か他のプランで出来ることはありませんか?と聞いたところ吹通川という所でのSUPをご提案してれて参加しました。午前に行ったマングローブよりも広く他にあまり人が居なく開放感に溢れてました。その日に撮った写真も直ぐに送ってくださりとても良い記念になりました。スタッフのクリちゃん!一日中面倒みてくれてありがとう!また来年もPIPIさんにお世話になって川平湾でのリベンジSUPが出来たら良いなと思いました!
一日、大満足のプランでした!翌日の筋肉痛はヒドかったですが…笑。

The activities are exactly as said in the program. The pick-up and drop-off service is very on a timely manner. Staffs are very friendly and helpful although communication in English is limited but it's not a burden for a joyful snorkeling experience. All gears are in good condition and there's no need to bring any personal item as all are well prepared for you. The Captain is very knowledgeable on the weather conditions and snorkeling spot as we're there on the rainy day but he managed to move us around without facing any rain or storm. I'd recommend everyone to experience this tour, the price they charge is very reasonable. I'll definitely join this tour again if I'm back to Naha.

Whenever I see a jungle exploration program on TV, I often think that I would like to go someday.
Nature spreads out before me, and we walk along paths that have no trails. We become familiar with the island while learning about the names and origins of wild animals and trees.
On this trip to Barasu Island and Pinai Sara Falls, I was able to experience such a grand adventure, almost untouched by human hands.
The guide carefully explained the local flora and fauna, and by learning about the island's formation, I was able to enjoy Iriomote Island even more.
Thank you for serving warm tea at the waterfall basin and providing brown sugar on the boat whenever we wanted it.
The kayak journey through the mangrove forest to Pinai Sara Falls is sure to leave you in awe as you encounter the scenery transitioning from narrow tributaries to wide river expanses.
If I catch Iriomote fever, I will fly back from Tokyo again.
テレビでジャングル探検番組があると、いつか行ってみたいなぁと思うことがしばしばありました。
目の前に自然が広がり、自分たちの足で道無き道を歩いていく。そして、野生の動物や木々の名前や由来を聞きながら島に親しむ。
今回のバラス島とピナイサーラの滝では、ほとんど人の手が加えられていない、そんな大冒険を味わうことができました。
ガイドの方は地元の動植物を丁寧に解説してくれて、島の成り立ちを知ることで、より一層西表島が楽しめます。
滝壺では暖かいお茶を出してくれたり、船の上でも黒糖を欲しい時に提供していただき、ありがとうございます。
ピナイサーラの滝までのマングローブ林のなかを進むカヤックは、細い支流から大きくひらけた川幅に差し掛かるその景色に大感動すること間違いなし。

We participated as a family of three. It was our first time trying SUP. Even I, who can't swim, and my 6-year-old daughter found it very easy and fun to do while sitting down! However, the next day, my shoulders were sore from the muscle strain, haha. There was a two-hour break, but there weren't many places to explore... We had lunch and just waited for the time to pass. I had experienced snorkeling once before in the afternoon, and at that time, the instructor was a young woman, so my daughter was able to float happily with her floatie. This time, the instructor was a handsome young man, and my daughter seemed nervous and ended up crying, haha. Because of that, one instructor had to focus entirely on her, and I apologize to the other participants for the inconvenience. Since I can't swim either, we took up some time, but I was grateful that he didn't show any annoyance and stayed with us! However, the path from the car to the sea was muddy from the previous day's rain, which was a bit scary, haha. The waterfall was also impressive with its cold, clear water. My daughter and I couldn't do the Tarzan swing, but my husband enjoyed it. Lastly, the fresh juice shop we were taken to had the best juice! It mentioned in the preparation list to bring a change of clothes, but we participated in our swimsuits, moved in our swimsuits, and were sent back in our swimsuits, so a change of clothes wasn't necessary. Just a towel, a drink, and lunch money were enough. We took a lot of photos and had a satisfying day!
家族3人で参加させて頂きました。SUPは初挑戦でした。泳げない私も6歳の娘も座った状態でできるのでとても簡単で楽しかったです!ただ次の日は肩が筋肉痛に笑。休憩時間が2時間ありましたが、あまり回る場所もなく…お昼を食べ、ただただ時間が来るのを待つのみと言った感じでした。午後からのシュノーケルは1度体験した事あったんですが、その時はインストラクターの方がお姉さんだった事もあり娘も浮輪でプカプカ浮いてニコニコで参加できたのですが、今回はイケメンのお兄さんで娘も緊張したのか、泣いてしまいました笑。そのせいで、インストラクターのお兄さん1人が娘につきっきりになってしまい、ほかの参加者の方にご迷惑をおかけしてしまい申し訳なかったです。私も泳げない事もあり、時間を取らせてしまいましたが、嫌な顔一つせず、付き合って頂きありがたかったです!ただ、車から海までの道のりが前日の雨でぬかるんでいて、怖かったです笑笑。滝壺も、冷たい綺麗な水に感動。さすがに私と娘はターザンはできませんでしたが、主人は楽しんでいました。最後に連れて行ってもらった生ジュースのお店のジュースも最高でした!用意するものに着替えと書いてありましたが、水着で参加して水着で移動して、水着で送ってもらえるので着替えは必要なかったです。タオルと飲み物、お昼ゴハン代だけで十分でした。写真もたくさん撮って頂き満足な一日を過ごさせて頂きました!

As a repeat visitor, I participated this time with seven friends. Since we joined on the last Sunday, it was not crowded, and we were smoothly guided without any waiting time for parking or lines. The guide was very polite and the photos were fantastic. I would like to use this service again!
リピーターで今回は友達と7人で参加しました。日曜日の最終で参加したので空いていて駐車場や待機列の待ち時間もなくスムーズに案内してもらえました。ガイドのお兄さんも丁寧に案内してくれたし写真も最高でした。また使いたいと思います!

I did this snorkeling right after I arrived in Iriomote. At first, the weather was a little bit cloudy, but when we were near Barasu, the weather got better. I swam with a sea turtle, hearing the beautiful sound of coral islands; it was such a great experience. That day I did this in the morning, and Barasu was not so big, actually barely visible (still beautiful and wonderful). If I go to Iriomote again, I will try this Barasu snorkeling at noon.

My 6-year-old daughter has always been afraid of the ocean and has hardly ever put her feet in the water, insisting that she didn't want to try snorkeling. I thought we would end up waiting on the beach with one of the parents again this time, but thanks to the instructor who was very kind and attentive, my daughter was able to enter the water without fuss. Moreover, she was able to master the use of the snorkeling equipment and learned a lot about different types of fish and various ecological features, which sparked her interest in the ocean. The drone footage also captured some great videos and photos, creating wonderful memories for our family. We definitely want to do this again next time.
6歳の娘が、海が怖くて今までもほとんど海には足をつけたことがなく、シュノーケルも嫌だと言いはっていたので、今回も親のどちらかと浜辺で待機かなぁ〜と思いながらお願いしたのですが、担当してくださったインストラクターのお兄さんがとても丁寧に親切に接してくださったおかげで娘もグズらず海に入ることができました。その上シュノーケルの道具の使い方もしっかりマスターでき、お魚の種類やいろんな生態の特徴など、子供達はたくさん教えていただいて海に興味を持つことができました。ドローン撮影もとてもいい動画やお写真を撮っていただき、家族揃ってとても良い思い出ができました。又是非次回もお願いしたいと思います。

The third point was the most enjoyable! The coral was so close that I felt like I could touch it, and I was able to observe fish and various sea creatures at a very close distance. I even encountered a sea turtle and had the experience of swimming right next to it. It was fascinating to catch a glimpse of the fish's activities in the ocean, which I usually only see in aquariums.
The activity itself was very fulfilling, but I had two concerns.
The first point is that we went out to sea with two boats, but our group was instructed to move the boat multiple times before departure. The staff on the boat we moved to were not aware of the increase in the number of participants, which left us all confused. I felt uneasy as other explanations were given before we received sufficient instructions on the snorkeling equipment.
The second point is that I felt there was a difference in the staff's skills. There were many inbound customers, and a lot of staff who could speak foreign languages. As a beginner, I wanted more detailed instructions on how to use the snorkeling mask and tips for enjoying it safely, but it seemed that some staff were a bit unfamiliar with Japanese, leading to explanations that were hard to understand at times. I appreciated their efforts and was happy that they took many photos, but I felt that I would have liked more detailed explanations. I believe they will gain more experience, so I hope they continue to do their best in the future.
I understand that managing activities for a large group can be challenging, but I think it could have been even more enjoyable with a little more consideration.
Thank you for this experience.
3ポイント目が1番楽しかったです!足がつきそうな程サンゴが近く、とても近い距離で魚や色んな海の生き物を観察することができました。ウミガメにも出会うことができ、真横で一緒に泳ぐ体験ができました。水族館で見られる魚たちの、海での営みを垣間見ることができて面白かったです。
アクティビティ自体はとても充実していたのですが、2点気になる点がありました。
1点目は、2艘で海に出たのですが、我々のグループのみ出発前に何度も船の移動を指示されました。移動先の船のスタッフさんは体験人数の増を把握されておらず、お互い困惑しました。シュノーケリングの用具の説明を十分に受ける前に他の説明がなされ、不安に感じました。
2点目は、スタッフのスキルに差があるように感じました。インバウンドのお客さんが多く、外国語を話せるスタッフがたくさんいらっしゃいました。初心者でしたので、シュノーケリングのマスクの使い方や、安全に楽しむためのコツなど詳しく教えて頂きたかったのですが、少し日本語に不慣れな様で、わからない説明が何度かありました。一生懸命接してくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくださって嬉しかったのですが、もっと解説して頂きたかったなと感じました。これから経験を積んでいかれるかと思うので、今後も頑張って頂きたいです。
大人数でのアクティビティとなり、運営が大変であるとは思うのですが、もう少し心配りくださればもっと楽しめたと思っております。
この度はありがとうございました。
Dear Rui,
Hello. This is Marine House Seasa Naha.
Thank you for participating in our one-day snorkeling tour.
I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed swimming close to the sea turtles and fish. It’s quite rare to swim right next to a sea turtle, so that’s wonderful.
I apologize for the lack of guidance that caused some anxiety among everyone. With many overseas staff, I realize we need to be more aware of providing support in Japanese. I want to ensure we can improve in the future. Thank you for your feedback.
We would be happy to have you visit the waters of Kerama again.
Best regards,
Tomoyo Namioka

こんにちは。シーサー那覇店です。
このたびは、当店の1日スノーケリングにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。
ウミガメや魚たちと近い距離で泳げたとのこと、楽しんでいただけて本当に良かったです。
なかなかウミガメと真横で泳ぐのはむずかしいので、良かったです。
ご指摘いただきました、こちらのご案内不足でみなさまをご不安にさせてしまって申し訳ありませんでした。
海外スタッフも多くいますので、日本語でのサポートが少なかったのはこちらももっと意識しないといけないと痛感しています。
今後も改善出来るようにしていきたいと思います。ご指摘ありがとうございました。
またケラマの海に遊びに来ていただければうれしいです。
どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

I went on my first trip to Ishigaki Island for a 1-night, 2-day stay. The main purpose of the trip was to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at the stunning spot of Kabira Bay and to spend the day actively until my flight home, so I decided to join this one-day course.
On the morning of the trip, the weather was nice and sunny, but due to strong winds, SUP at Kabira Bay was canceled. Instead, there was a suggestion to do SUP in the mangroves, which I accepted. I usually do SUP in the ocean back home, but paddling through the mangroves while the guide explained about Ishigaki Island and the mangroves felt like a jungle cruise, allowing me to paddle leisurely and enjoyably.
For lunch, I chose a hamburger place recommended by the staff that used Ishigaki beef. I was able to lightly dry off my wet body and enter the restaurant as is, and the hamburger was hearty and very delicious.
In the afternoon, we went snorkeling at a natural beach that opened up after passing through lush trees. Since it was low tide, we explored a cave, which is a power spot, while walking, and during snorkeling, I was thrilled to see not only the clear water but also clownfish and beautifully colored fish.
Finally, we moved to a waterfall in another location where we did a tidal cleanse. Some participants even dove from the top of the waterfall or jumped like Tarzan using a rope, having a great time.
Among the participants were children around kindergarten age and older individuals, including some foreigners. At the beginning of the tour, everyone seemed a bit nervous, but by the end, we were chatting and the atmosphere became very friendly. Although there were many participants, I think the staff, who were present in several numbers, ensured safety.
Lastly, I stopped by a juice stand and enjoyed a very delicious smoothie.
I had a wonderfully fulfilling time. Since the UV rays in Okinawa are very strong, sun protection and heatstroke prevention are essential. I always participate with a backpack made from a net that contains water, sunscreen (the type that doesn't affect coral), and a small towel.
I would like to participate again to do SUP at Kabira Bay.
今回初めての石垣島旅行を1泊2日で行うことになりました。旅行のメインは絶景スポットである川平湾でSUPをすること、帰りの飛行機の時間までアクティブに過ごすことが目的だったので、この1日コースに参加することにしました。
当日の朝、天気は晴れてて良かったのですが、風が強かったので川平湾でSUPは中止となり、マングローブでのSUPの提案があったので、それに変更しました。いつも地元では海でSUPをしているのですが、マングローブを見ながらのSUPはガイドさんが、石垣島やマングローブなどの説明をしてくれ、ジャングルクルーズのようで、のんびりと楽しく漕ぐことが出来ました。
お昼はスタッフおススメの石垣牛を使ったハンバーガー店を選びました。濡れてる体の水気を軽く取ってそのまま入店出来、ハンバーガーはボリュームがあり、とっても美味しかったです。
午後からのシュノーケルは鬱蒼と生い茂った木々の中を通り抜けた後に広がる自然ビーチで行いました。干潮だったため、歩きながら途中パワースポットである洞窟に寄って探検をし、シュノーケルでは、海の透明度もさることながら、ニモ(カクレクマノミ)やキレイな色をした魚たちも見れ感激しました。
最後は別の場所にある滝まで移動して潮落としをしながら、参加者に中には、滝の上からダイブしたり、ロープを使って、ターザンのようにジャンプした方もいて楽しんでおられました。
参加者の中には、幼稚園児くらいのお子さんから、年配の方までいらっしゃり、外国の方も一緒で、ツアーの始めこそはみなさん緊張された様子でしたが、最後の方では、色々お話しして和気藹々とした雰囲気になっていました。参加者人数は多かったのですが、スタッフも数名いて安全に配慮されていたと思います。
最後にジューススタンドに寄って飲んだスムージーもとても美味しかったです。
とても充実した時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
沖縄の紫外線はとても強いので、日焼け対策と熱中症対策は必須です。私はいつもネットで出来たリュックの中に水と日焼けどめクリーム(サンゴにも影響しないタイプのもの)と小さいタオルを入れて背負って参加します。
川平湾でSUPするため、また参加したいと思います。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. Hearing the words "I had fun" from our customers is a great encouragement and motivation for us guides. Next time, let's definitely paddle to the Blue Cave by kayak! No matter how many times you go, the Blue Cave never gets boring, and the shades of blue can vary from day to day, so I believe you will enjoy it. All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you again.
先日はツアーのご参加誠にありがとうございました。お客様から頂く『楽しかった』の一言が私たちガイドの励みになり、原動力になります。次回は是非カヤックで青の洞窟まで漕いで行きましょう!何度行っても青の洞窟は飽きず、日によって青さが違ったりもするので、楽しんでいただけると思います。また皆さんとお会い出来る事をスタッフ一同楽しみにしております。
