All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I visited on August 5th, and I apologize for the late review! Due to the typhoon, I couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but thanks to the tour company's flexible response, I was able to switch to mangrove SUP and snorkeling in the Blue Cave. I was very grateful for all the photos they took! While other tour companies required meeting on-site, PiPi provided transportation, which was very helpful.

The staff, including Makoto, were very friendly and easy to talk to. Given the current circumstances, I was unsure if it was okay to enjoy myself, but they talked with me a lot, which eased my worries and allowed me to have fun. I would like to try for a revenge visit to Kabira Bay the next time I go to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much!

8/5に行きましたが口コミが遅くなりすみません！
台風の影響で川平湾は行けませんでしたが、
ツアー会社さんの臨機応変な対応のおかげでマングローブSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに変えていただきました。
写真もたくさん撮って頂けて大変有り難かったです！
他のツアー会社さんは現地集合でしたがピピさんは送迎してくださるのもとても助かりました。

まことさんをはじめスタッフの方々もとても気さくで話しやすかったです。
ご時世的に楽しんでいいものか迷っていましたが沢山お話ししてくれて不安な気持ちも紛れ楽しむことが出来ました。
また石垣島に行く際には今度こそ川平湾リベンジしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました！

As a beginner in snorkeling, I had a lot of fun swimming! I was able to encounter sea turtles right away and see many fish and coral reefs up close, which was very moving! Even those who can't swim can have a great experience.

The Pumpkin Cave was very mystical, and I felt a powerful energy! It was even more amazing than I expected, and I enjoyed the adventure. The guide was very kind and taught us a lot, so I had a very fulfilling day! There's no doubt it will be a fun day!

シュノーケリング初心者でしたが、とても楽しく泳げました！
海亀にもすぐに出会うことができ、沢山の魚や珊瑚礁を間近で見ることができ、とても感動しました！泳げない人でも全然楽しく体験出来ます。
パンプキン鍾乳洞はとても神秘的で、パワーを感じました！
思っていた以上に凄く、アドベンチャーを楽しめました。
ガイドさんも凄く優しく、色々教えてくれるので、とても充実した1日を過ごせました！楽しい1日になること間違い無し！

A few years ago, when I went to Miyako Island, the cave tour was canceled due to high waves, so this time I finally got to participate in the tour I had been looking forward to.

It was a bit challenging to walk from the meeting point to the cave, but inside the cave, the guide explained various things, and I enjoyed experiences like a mud pack and jumping into the sea at the end.

There are no restrooms at the meeting point, so it's best to take care of that beforehand.

数年前に宮古島へ行った時の鍾乳洞が波が高くキャンセルになったので今回、念願のツアー参加となりました。
ツアー集合場所から鍾乳洞まで少し歩くのが大変ですが鍾乳洞の中でガイドさんが色々説明してくれたり、泥パックや最後に海への飛び込みと色々体験でき楽しかったです。
集合場所にはトイレがないので事前に済ませるのがよいでしょう。

In the morning, I enjoyed the beautiful sea while paddleboarding. At first, I thought it was a bit scary until I got used to it, but since we started paddling from the shallow area, it was okay even if I fell (laughs). My husband, who joined me, fell in the shallow water (laughs). It looked like he was having fun too! The weather wasn't exactly sunny, but it was originally forecasted to rain, and it turned into cloudy with some sunshine, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea without getting rained on. After we finished, we were told that the view from a nearby observation deck was beautiful.

For lunch, we had a free-style meal where everyone could choose what they wanted. We were informed that there was a famous Marukichi soba near where we did the SUP, so we went there. The soki soba was very delicious.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling with sea turtles at Shinjo Beach. The sea visible from the road to the beach was incredibly beautiful. Stunning views were everywhere we went.

We put on life jackets and fins and headed into the sea. The water temperature wasn't too cold, and the weather was just right as it cleared up, so it was perfect.

We were able to see sea turtles up close. It's a rare opportunity to see them like that, so it was a precious time. We also encountered many corals and tropical fish. Although I couldn't capture it in a photo, I was able to see two sea turtles at the same time. I brought my own GoPro, and since I put it in a waterproof case, it was safe and worked perfectly. The guy who was with us took photos, so you can enjoy it even without a waterproof camera!

The sea around Miyako Island was more beautiful blue than I had imagined. It truly was Miyako Blue. Thank you for the momentary healing experience.

朝は、SUPで綺麗な海の上を楽しみました。
慣れるまでは、怖いなーと思ってましたが、最初は浅瀬から漕ぎ始めるので、落ちても大丈夫(笑)
一緒に参加した主人は浅瀬で落ちてました。(笑)
それも何だか楽しそうでした！！
天気は、晴天とまではいかなかったですが、元々は雨予報の日だったのが曇り晴れになってくれたので雨に降られることなく綺麗な海を楽しめました。
ちょうど、終わった後に近くの展望台からの景色が綺麗だそうで教えてくれました。
お昼ご飯は、各自で自由に取るスタイルでした。
SUPしたところの近くに有名な丸吉そばがあると教えていただき、そちらへ行きました。
ソーキそばがとても美味しかったです。

午後からは、ウミガメシュノーケリング、私たちは新城海岸でした。
海岸へ行くための道から見える海がとても綺麗でした。
どこに行っても絶景が広がってます。

ライフジャケットと足のヒレを装着して、いざ海へ。
水温もそんなに冷たくなく、天気もちょうど晴れてきたのでバッチリでした。

ちゃんとウミガメに会えました。
近くで見れる機会は普段なかなかないので貴重な時間でした。
珊瑚や熱帯魚にもたくさん出会えました。
写真には納められませんでしたが、ウミガメ２匹同時に見ることもできました。
わたしは自分のGoProを持っていきました。
防水ケースに入れていったので故障もなく無事でした。
一緒に回ってくれるお兄さんが写真撮ってくれるので防水カメラなくても楽しめますよ～！！


宮古島の海は想像以上に綺麗なブルーでした。
名の通り宮古ブルーでしたね。
束の間の癒しをありがとうございました。

I participated with my children (8 and 12 years old). I was worried about the 30-minute walk to the Pumpkin, but it went by quickly as we observed corals and fish while playing in the sea. When we entered the mystical Pumpkin Cave, I was so excited that I forgot my fatigue. The mud pack felt great on my face! In the end, I was able to jump in with encouragement from those around me. *It seems like my backside got a bit scraped, so I recommend wearing leggings!

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling to look for turtles. We saw a total of three! I was exhausted from the morning's activities, but the kids were full of energy. After that, we played again in the hotel pool, laughing. Thank you very much for a wonderful day. I had a great time.

子供(8才、12才)と参加しました。
パンプキンまで30分くらい歩くので、大丈夫かなぁと心配しておりましたが、海で磯遊び感覚で珊瑚やお魚を観察しながらなので、あっという間でした。パンプキン洞窟で神秘的な場所へ入ると興奮して疲れも忘れてました。泥パックも沢山顔につけてスベスベでした！最後飛び込みも周りに応援されながら、飛び込む事が出来ました。※お尻がすれたようで、スパッツを履いて行くのをおすすめします！

午後は亀さん探しシュノーケルをしました。合計3匹に会えました(^^)午前中の体力消耗で、午後のシュノーケルはクタクタでしたが、子供達は元気元気。その後、ホテルプールでまた遊んでおりました笑
素敵な一日をどうもありがとうございました。
とても楽しかったです。

I participated with a group of four people over 60. We all thought we were in good shape, but we never expected to climb the Pumpkin Cave... With the help of our guide Mai, we somehow made it to the top. I was surprised at how strong and reliable the slender Mai was! Her voice was loud enough for us to hear her explanations clearly. We reached the depths of the cave and were able to take beautiful commemorative photos with our lights. The highlight on the way back was the jump from the top of the Pumpkin (see photo)! Looking down from about 4 meters high was truly nerve-wracking. I was the only one who slid down on my butt and managed to clear it from a height of 1 meter (^◇^;) It was a round trip on foot to the cave, but those participating should be careful not to step on the coral.

60過ぎの四人組で参加しました。全員普段から体を鍛えてきたつもりでしたが、パンプキン鍾乳洞をまさか登るとは‥‥ ガイドのマイさんに引き上げて貰い、何とか登り切りました。それにしても、あんなにスレンダーなマイさんが力強く頼もしいとは‼️説明の声も大きく、十分に聞き取れました。鍾乳洞の奥まで辿り着き、手持ちの照明を凝らして綺麗な記念撮影も撮ってもらえました。戻りのハイライトはパンプキンてっぺんからの飛び込みです(写真)‼️ 高さ約4メートルから見下ろすとホントに勇気が入ります。私はただ一人お尻からズリズリと降りて1メートルの高さから何とかクリア(^◇^;) 鍾乳洞まで徒歩での往復でしたが、参加する方たちはサンゴを踏まないように気を付けてくださいね。

We had pretty flawless trip out to the Kerema Islands with Marine House Seasir. The tour was entirely in Japanese but the staff at the shop could speak some English. The place was easy to find and we could park about a block away near the port. After filling out our paperwork (in English), we could leave small valuables at the shop, we headed to the boat, which had ample space for everyone as well as equipped with showers, changing rooms, bathrooms all of our gear and even some fun extras like a water slide.

We were given a brief introduction to snorkeling by the staff and arranged into teams with a guide for each group on the boat. The guides were very bubbly and fun! Being this was my children's first time, this really put them at ease.

The ride out to the islands wasnt too long and we could enjoy the ocean breeze. Once we reached our point, we put on our gear and away we went into the water. Keep in mind, you are either required to wear a life vest or a wetsuit. If you forgo the wet suit, you must wear a life vest while snorkeling. We could see a variety of fish and living coral out on the reef as well as a sea turtle and sea snake. The guides encouraged us to stay together for the first half hour or so then we had a water break, After that we could choose what we would like to do. There were jet skis, banana boats and parasailing available for an extra fee, and using the waterslide was free and a lot of fun. You could also continue snorkeling as long as you stayed in the general vacinity of the boat.

The staff took pictures and gave us a QR code to get the pictures from a web site. Using that web site is a bit complicated and it isnt in English, so I needed some help from my Japanese husband when I got home.

Overall the trip was pretty good value for the money. I would certainly recommend it, especially for beginners.

I was a bit nervous about participating since I had seen photos online of people with lights and wearing helmets. I received a confirmation call about the meeting place and time the day before, and although the meeting spot was a bit hard to find, I felt reassured when Mai, the instructor, greeted us with her sun-kissed smile right on time.

As we walked through the tidal flats, Mai occasionally turned back to check on us and encouraged us. The path was slippery, and we had to walk a longer distance than I expected to keep up. Finally, we arrived at Pumpkin Cave... I was surprised at how strong Mai was, despite her slim figure; she helped pull us up inside the cave, which was impressive!

The main event was jumping down a 4-meter drop! We leaped into the bright blue sea and made it back safely. When I returned, I noticed a bruise on my knee, so maybe longer pants would have been better. The shape of the pumpkin was truly magnificent, and I wish I could have heard more about the cave itself.

ネット情報でライトをつけたり、ヘルメットをかぶっている写真を見ていたので、ちょっとドキドキの参加でした。
前日の集合場所と時間の確認電話を頂き、集合場所が少しわかりにくい所でしたが、時間には日焼けした笑顔のマイさん（インストラクター）が声を掛けてくれて安心しました。
干潟を歩きながらマイさんが、後ろを時々振り返りつつ声を掛けてくれます。滑りやすいことと、思ったより長い距離を遅れないように歩いたところで、
いざパンプキン洞窟へ・・・
マイさんが細い体なのに力持ちで鍾乳洞の中では私たちを上に引っ張り上げてくれたのにはビックリ‼頼もしかった。
メインイベントは4ｍの高低差をジャンプ！光のさす青い海へ飛び降りて無事
生還。帰ってきたら膝に青あざがあったので長めのパンツのほうがよかったかな？パンプキンの形はとても見事だったので、鍾乳洞の話ももっと聞けたらよかった。

I was looking for a morning snorkeling tour and decided to join this one. Depending on the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, which changed the purpose of the tour, and I was disappointed. I do enjoy snorkeling, so I had some fun, but the guide's attitude wasn't very good, and most of the photos we received were blurry, which made it even more disappointing.

早朝シュノーケルを探していて決めました。
天候にもよるかもしれませんが、青の洞窟には行けずこのツアーの目的も変わってしまって残念でした。
シュノーケルは好きなのでそれなりに楽しめましたが、ガイドさんの態度もあまり良くなくいただいた写真データもほとんどボケていたため更に残念な感じでした。

I booked the sea turtle snorkeling course with SAP.

During the snorkeling, I was able to see three sea turtles and swim with beautiful fish, which was incredibly moving! I had also done snorkeling in Hawaii, but I was surprised that this experience was even more beautiful than that one.

It was my first time trying SAP, but even someone like me, who is not athletic, was able to master it quickly. Floating in the middle of the ocean while feeling the sea breeze was the ultimate luxury and a great way to unwind.

Both activities had staff who were relaxed, friendly, and attentive, making it easy to connect and chat! On the way back, they kindly offered to take me to my hotel (I paid an additional fee), and we had a fun conversation during the ride.

I also appreciated that they took many photos during the activities and sent them to me via LINE! There were over 50 photos each, allowing me to look back on the memories later. In particular, I want to show off the underwater photos taken with the sea turtles!

I was very satisfied, so I definitely want to use this service again when I visit next time. Thank you very much!

ウミガメシュノーケリング→SAPというコースで予約しました。

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメが3匹も見れて、そしてキレイな魚たちと一緒に泳ぐことができて大感動！ハワイでもシュノーケリングをしたことがありましたが、そのときよりも今回の方がキレイだったのには驚きました。

SAPは初挑戦でしたが、運動音痴の私でもすぐに使いこなすことができ、海風を浴びながら海の真ん中を漂っている時間が、無になれて最高に贅沢でした。

2つのアクティビティとも、スタッフさんがラフで気さくで丁寧ですぐに打ち解けて話せました！帰りにホテルまで送ってもらったのですが（追加料金お支払いしてます）、快く引き受けてくれて車内でも楽しくお話しながら帰ることができました。

また、有難かったのが、アクティビティ中の様子をたくさん写真に撮っていていただき、LINEで送ってくださったこと！写真はそれぞれ50枚以上もあり、後でゆっくり思い出として見返せます。
特に、ウミガメと一緒に撮ってもらった水中写真は周りに自慢したいと思います！

大満足でしたので、是非また訪れた際には利用したいです。本当にありがとうございました！

I participated on a very nice day. It was packed with fun and I had a great time! The transportation was smooth, and I was able to enjoy Iriomote Island! Thank you very much.

とても天気がいい日に参加しました。とても楽しさが凝縮されていて楽しかったです！送迎もスムーズで、西表島を楽しめました！ありがとうございました。

We were blessed with great weather, only encountering a brief rain shower, and we had a wonderful guide. We even got to see two sea turtles! It was truly moving.

The pumpkin experience was also fantastic. It had more adventure elements than I expected, and it was a lot of fun (laughs). Thank you for the enjoyable time!

Additionally, when I shared my desired image, they provided recommendations for beaches as well. I went right away! It was amazing.

一瞬通り雨にあっただけで天気にも恵まれ
素敵なガイドさんにも恵まれ
海亀さんに会えました！！！２匹も。ホント感動

パンプキンも素敵な体験でした。
想像以上に冒険要素もあって楽しかったです（笑）
楽しい時間をありがとう


あと、希望イメージを伝えたら
おすすめビーチ情報とかも教えてくれました。
早速行ってきましたよ！！サイコーでした。

Captain Kamei took us to various spots. He is someone who has been accustomed to marine activities for a long time, so everyone can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.

We got to see turtles munching on seaweed and were taken to a now-rare red coral spot. It felt like we were playing in Kamei's backyard, which was very relaxing. Along the way, we even encountered a sea snake, which was amazing.

The condition of the coral was better than that of Ishigaki Island; it was healthy, and I realized that it was a good decision to come here. Coral decline is a global issue, but it seems that the condition is gradually improving. Environmental pollution is serious, so to protect this environment, including the flora and fauna, we made sure to follow the rules while enjoying our time here, so that the smiles of the locals are not lost.

Thank you very much!

By the way, he is quite knowledgeable about sailing, so it would be good to ask him questions. Sorry for going on and on! (laughs)

船長の亀井さんより、色々なスポットへ連れていっていただきました。昔から海のアクティビティに慣れている方なので皆さん安心して楽しめます。

藻をむしゃむしゃと食事に夢中の亀や、今や珍しい赤珊瑚スポットにも連れてってくれました。もはや亀井さんの庭で遊んでいるような感覚でリラックスできました。途中ウミヘビにも出会え、最高でした。

珊瑚の状態は石垣島よりもよく、健康体で、こちらにも足を伸ばしてよかったと実感。世界中で珊瑚の減少が問題になっていますが、状態は少しずつよくなっているとのこと。環境の汚染は深刻ですので、この環境、動植物もちろん含めてを守るためにも、地元の方の笑顔が失われないよう、ルールに沿って観光させていただきました。

ありがとうございました！

ちなみにセーリング関係にかなり詳しいので質問してみたらいいですね。話止まれなくてすみませんでした　笑

I have been to Okinawa many times, but I had never been to Iriomote Island. It had been about 20 years since I last swam in the ocean, so I was a little anxious, but the lively talk from our guide, Icchi, eased my worries and I had a great time. I was able to see a rare large sea turtle up close, within a distance where I could almost touch it, and I appreciated the beauty of the coral in the ocean. After that, I had an interesting experience floating a bit in a cold waterfall during the mangrove tour. I really want to go back again.

沖縄は何度も行きましたが、西表島には行ったことがありませんでした。
海で泳ぐのは実に20年ぶり位で少しだけ
不安もありましたが、ガイドのイッチーさんの軽快なトークで不安も無くなり楽しめました。
珍しく大きなウミガメも見られて海の珊瑚の良さ、ウミガメも間近で「触れる位の距離」で見られました。
その後、マングローブツアーで冷たい滝で少しだけ浮かべて面白体験でした。
ほんとにまた行きたいと思いました。

I participated in the SUP + Blue Cave Snorkeling Plan, and it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying activity!

■ Before Participation
The day before the tour, I received a phone call from the staff regarding the meeting place and time, which I thought was very kind. This is a good opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

■ Tour Flow
After gathering, we enjoyed the activity in the following order by riding in a microbus:
1) SUP at Kabira Bay
2) Lunch at Kabira Park
3) Moved to a beach near the Blue Cave for snorkeling
- Since we won't return until after snorkeling, I recommend bringing your wallet and phone.
- Since you'll be in a swimsuit the whole time, it's good to have a towel and a cover-up.
- If there's a wait for lunch, I also recommend taking a glass-bottom boat ride.

■ Impressions
The guide actively engaged with us during the ride, making it lively, and took over 100 photos to send us later! Although we couldn't go out to sea for snorkeling due to thunder, we were guided to a spot where we could see clownfish, and we were able to go to a waterfall where we could jump in. Even with bad weather, it’s a satisfying plan!

SUP+青の洞窟シュノーケリングプランに参加しました。
結果的に大満足のアクティビティとなりました！

■参加前
ツアー前日にスタッフの方から集合場所と時間の連絡が電話であり、とても親切だと思いました。
このタイミングで確認したいことがあれば聞いておくことができます。

■ツアーの流れ
集合後、マイクロバスに乗って以下の流れでアクティビティを楽しみました。
1)川平湾でSUP
2)川平公園で昼食
3)青の洞窟近くの浜辺へ移動しシュノーケリング
・出発してからシュノーケリング終了まで戻らないので財布や携帯は持っていくのをオススメします。
・ずっと水着なのでタオルや上から着る服があるといいです。
・お昼の待ち時間がある場合はグラスボートに乗ることもオススメします。

■感想
ガイドさんは移動中の車内でも、積極的にお話をしてくれて盛り上げてくれますし、100枚を超える写真を撮って後で送ってくれます！
シュノーケリングは雷の影響で沖には行けませんでしたが、カクレクマノミが見れる場所まで案内してもらった後、飛び込みができる滝まで行くことができました。
悪天候だとしても満足できるプランです！

The weather was rainy, but the sea was still beautiful! I appreciated that they explained how to use the snorkeling gear from the very beginning, which was helpful for beginners like me!

I always go on snorkeling tours in remote islands like Ishigaki Island and Miyako Island, but it's quite rare to see sea turtles... This time, I was really glad to see three cute turtles on my first visit! The staff and the shuttle bus service were warm and very easy to talk to.

For the snorkeling tour group, we mainly waited on the second floor of the boat while moving. Due to the weather, the sea breeze was unexpectedly cold, making it a bit chilly. So, having a towel to cover up (like the changing towels used in elementary school pools) would be quite convenient!

The photos were surprisingly vibrant and beautiful. I will definitely come back.

天候は雨でしたが海の中は変わらず綺麗！シュノーケリング初体験の初心者の方にも1から使い方を説明してくれたので助かりました！

石垣島や宮古島などの離島でもシュノーケルツアーは必ず行きますが中々海ガメはレアで見られず…
今回は初回なのに可愛い亀が3匹見れて本当に良かった！
店員さんや送迎バスの対応も温かく、とても話しやすかったです(^_^)
シュノーケルツアー組は船の2階で主に移動する際は待機する感じでした。天候の関係もありましたが、海風は予想以上に冷たく少し寒い。なので上から被るタオル（小学生のプールで使ったようなお着替えタオル）があると結構便利かと…！

写真もびっくりするくらい鮮やかで綺麗でした。また来ます。

I was able to see the moment of sunset!! The sunset was so beautiful!! The filming was done using a drone, and it felt like a promotional video! You should definitely go if you visit Okinawa!!

日の入りの瞬間を見る事が出来ました！！夕日がとても綺麗かったです！！
撮影もドローンを使っていてプロモーショビデオのようでした！
沖縄にいったら行くべきです！！

Iriomote Island was more of a jungle than I imagined, to the point where I felt a bit of danger! However, each activity was so much fun that it became a lifelong memory. The tour guide was easy to talk to, and they took photos at various spots, sending them to us as an album via LINE after the tour, so those worried about their phones getting wet can rest easy. I think exploring Iriomote Island on your own can be dangerous, so I definitely recommend joining a tour!

西表島は想像以上にジャングルで身の危険を感じるほどでした！
でも、一つ一つのアクティビティが一生の思い出になるくらい楽しかったです。
添乗員さんも話やすく、また随所で写真を撮って、ツアー終了後にラインでアルバムにして写真を送ってくれるので、携帯電話の水没が心配な方も大丈夫です。
西表島は個人で散策すると、危険だと思うので是非ツアーに参加することをお勧めします！！

I went stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling at Panari Island. It was my first experience with SUP, but they explained everything clearly and patiently, which made me feel at ease and enjoy it! I was able to swim at two snorkeling spots and had a great time! The staff were energetic, and I really enjoyed myself! It turned out to be a day that made me want to come back. Thank you for taking so many photos! ✌️

supとパナリ島でシュノーケリングを行いました。supは初めて体験しましたが一から丁寧にわかりやすく説明して下さり安心して楽しむことができました！シュノーケリングも2箇所で泳ぐことができて存分に楽しむことができました！スタッフの方も元気でとても楽しむことができました！また、来たいと思える1日になりました。たくさん写真も撮っていただき、ありがとうございました✌️

I was completely satisfied with the staff, the ocean, and everything. I was touched by the surprise of receiving a birthday present as I was leaving. I definitely want to request this tour again next time!

スタッフさん、海、すべてに大満足でした。
帰り際にバースデープレゼントをいただくといったサプライズもありで感動しました。
次回も是非こちらのツアーでお願いしたいと思います！

Canoeing was my first experience, and it was even more fun than I imagined! Paddling through the mangroves felt great, and the journey to the top of Pinai Sara Falls was more challenging than I expected, but the view from the top was amazing. The hot Yaeyama soba for lunch was also very delicious. We even went down to the base of the waterfall, and I thoroughly enjoyed a fulfilling day tour on Iriomote Island! Thank you!

カヌーは初体験だったのですが想像以上に楽しかったです！
またマングローブの間を漕いでいくのもとても気持ちが良く、ピナイサーラの滝の上までは思っていたより過酷な道のりだったのですが、滝の上からの景色は最高で、お昼ご飯も熱々の八重山そばがとても美味しかったです。
滝壺にも降りて行き、充実した1日のツアーで西表島を思いきり楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

It started with a solid 30-40 minutes of canoeing, followed by quite an authentic trekking experience, breathtaking views that were almost scary due to the height, and enjoyable water play, making for a very satisfying day. The guide was knowledgeable and taught us various things about the surrounding plants and creatures during the trek. Adults will definitely feel sore the next day (laughs).

ガッツリ30~40分のカヌーに始まり、結構本格的なトレッキング、怖いくらいの（高くて）絶景、気持ちいい水遊びと大満足の1日でした。ガイドさんは物知りで、トレッキングの間もまわりの植物や生物の事を色々教えてくれました。大人は次の日筋肉痛ですね（笑）

During my first trip to Miyako Island, I was looking for activities and found this service, which I decided to join. The day before, I received an email and a phone call with the designated meeting location! On the day of the event, I checked it on Google Maps and was able to get there without getting lost.

The weather was perfect for the event! In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The instructor kindly gave us a lecture beforehand. Even beginners can quickly get used to it and have fun. The beautiful sea allows you to clearly see fish swimming and coral. Plus, there are opportunities for photo shoots at various spots!

After the morning session, we moved to a different location for snorkeling in the afternoon! We were able to snorkel in another truly beautiful sea. Even those who can't swim felt safe experiencing it. I encountered sea turtles and pufferfish for the first time and even had underwater photos taken together!

The instructor was always smiling and easy to talk to. They shared all sorts of recommendations for Miyako Island, making my trip enjoyable. At the end, we exchanged LINE contacts, and they sent me the photos they took as an album.

I am truly satisfied with my experience participating in this service. Thank you very much! ☆

初めての宮古島旅行で、アクティビティを探してたところ当サービスを知り、参加することになりました。
前日になると、メール/電話で、指定された開催場所を教えていただきました！当日Googleマップで調べて、迷うことなく向かうことができました。
当日は天候に恵まれての開催！
いよいよ、午前中にSUP。事前にインストラクターの方に優しくレクチャーいただきました。初めての方でもすぐに慣れて楽しむことができます。綺麗な海なので、魚が泳いでるところや珊瑚などが鮮明に見ることができます。また、ところどころで写真撮影いただけます！
午前中が終了し、午後はシュノーケリング！
午前中とは別の場所に移動し、こちらも本当に綺麗な海でシュノーケリングをすることができました。泳げない人でも安心して体験することができました。初めて海ガメやフグにも遭遇することができ、一緒に水中撮影いただきました！
インストラクターの方は終始ニコニコしていて、話しやすい方でした。宮古島のおすすめ情報も全て教えてくれるので楽しく旅行をすることができました。
最後にLINE交換して、撮影してくださった写真をアルバムとして送っていただけます。
当サービスに参加して本当に大満足です。ありがとうございました☆

The staff were very kind, and it was a fun day. The ocean was beautiful, and I encountered dolphins and saw sea turtles, which was amazing.

スタッフの方達も大変親切で楽しい1日でした。
とにかく海が綺麗、イルカとも遭遇し海亀にも会えて最高です。

We gathered at noon, and the first activity was stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was a windy day, so we stayed close to the shore for safety, but it was very relaxing to not only paddle while standing on the board but also to lie down and gaze at the sky. The instructor took some photos for us, and we got to hear stories about Miyako Island, making it a truly relaxing few hours.

After that, the snorkeling was fantastic. Despite the weather not being great, there were plenty of sea turtles, and it felt like we discovered one every time we swam a little! We saw about 6 to 7 turtles, swimming just 30 cm away from them, and it was amazing to watch them eat seaweed while swimming slowly. Seeing a turtle take a breath up close was especially adorable. Additionally, we swam right above the coral reef and saw various colorful fish, and the rain didn't affect our experience at all. The instructor was very friendly and taught us a lot, making it a really enjoyable few hours.

Overall, I’m really glad I participated in this tour.

昼一からの集合で、最初にSUPでした。風が強い日だったので、危険も考慮し陸に近いところでのSUPでしたが、ボードの上に立って漕ぐだけでなく、寝転んでゆったりと空を見ながらぼーっとする時間もありとてもリラックスできた。インストラクターの方に写真も撮ってもらったり、宮古島の話も聞けたりで、本当にリラックできた数時間で最高です。

その後のシュノーケリングも、天気がよくなかったにも関わらずウミガメがたくさんいて、ちょっと泳げば発見！という感じで6〜7匹見れました。もう30cmの距離で一緒に泳いだり、海藻を食べてるところをゆっくり泳ぎながら見れたり最高でした。特に、ウミガメが息継ぎする瞬間を間近で見れたのはとても可愛かった。その他にも、珊瑚礁の真上を泳いで色々な色の魚を見れたりと雨降っていても全く関係無かったです。インストラクターの方もとても気さくで色々と教えてくれてとても楽しい数時間でした。

総じて、このツアーは参加して本当に良かった。

The application stated a start time of 9:30, but there was a change to accommodate the low tide. We gathered at 8:00, which was quite early, but we received notice the day before, so we could prepare with peace of mind. The tour had one instructor for every 2 to 3 groups, and we walked in marine shoes to the cave. Once we arrived at the cave, we climbed on the pumpkin, did a mud pack deep inside the cave, and finally jumped off the pumpkin. The instructor was close to our age and actively engaged with us, making the journey to the cave very enjoyable. Additionally, they took photos at various spots along the way and inside the cave, so we have many pictures as memories, which greatly increased our satisfaction. Overall, it was a tour that made me glad I applied.

　応募の際は9:30開始と書かれていましたが、干潮の時間に合わせるため、開始時間の変更がありました。自分たちは8時集合でだいぶ早まりましたが、前日に連絡を頂けるので、安心して準備できます。ツアーは、2〜3組に1人のインストラクターが付く形で、マリンシューズを履いて鍾乳洞まで歩いて進みました。鍾乳洞に着いてからは、パンプキンに登ったり、鍾乳洞の奥で泥パックをしたり、最後にパンプキンから飛び降りたりします。インストラクターの方は自分たちと年齢が近い上に、積極的に話しかけてくれて親しみやすかったため、鍾乳洞への道中も非常に楽しかったです。また、道中や鍾乳洞の中では各所のスポットで撮影をしてくれるため、多くの写真が思い出として残り、満足度はかなり高めでした。
　全体を通して、応募して良かったと思えるツアーでした。

First, we stepped into the sea and headed to the Pumpkin Cave. Along the way, there were corals and waterfalls, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful nature as we walked. Inside, we climbed a large pumpkin and explored the cave. We applied mud packs and admired the corals, feeling the majesty of nature's sacredness. Finally, we jumped into the sea from the top of the pumpkin, making for a fulfilling cave exploration. The tour staff were friendly and engaging, which made it very enjoyable. I definitely want to visit again.

まずは海に足を踏み入れながら、パンプキン鍾乳洞へ。その間には、珊瑚や滝などもあり、美しい自然を感じながら歩くことができます。そして中では大きなパンプキンを登り、鍾乳洞内を探索しました。泥パックを塗ったり、珊瑚を眺めたりしながら、雄大な自然の神聖さを肌で感じました。最後はパンプキンの上から海に飛び込み、充実した鍾乳洞探索となりました。
ツアーのスタッフの方々も気さくに話しかけてくださり、とても楽しかったです。
また是非とも訪れたいです。

Equipped with a life jacket, helmet, and beach shoes, we walked through the knee-deep water towards the cave! It was further than I expected.
Along the way, we were lucky to see a waterfall!
The entrance to the cave is narrow, and once inside, there is a pumpkin. We climbed up the side to go further up.
Looking back, it was a short time, but it felt very fulfilling and seemed to last a long time.
You really feel like you're on an adventure.
It might be a good idea to have gloves when climbing.

ライフジャケットにヘルメット、ビーチシューズを装備して、膝下ぐらいの水深の海を歩いて洞窟に向かいます！思った以上に距離がありました。
途中、滝も見れてラッキーでした！
洞窟の入り口は狭く、入るとパンプキンがあります。横をよじ登って上に行きます。
今思えば短時間ではあったのですが、とても充実しておりすごく長く感じました。
冒険をした気分になれます。
登る時に手袋があると良いかもしれません。

It was held at Imugya Marine Garden. The intricate terrain was beautiful, and I felt it was a perfect place for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) where I could enjoy the scenery. It was my first time doing SUP, and I had a lot of fun. At one point, I fell into the sea and lost my paddle, which made it difficult to move forward, and I got separated from the group. However, the instructor came to look for me and found my paddle, which was a great help. My companion also seemed to have enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much.

イムギャーマリンガーデンでの催行でした。
入り組んだ地形が美しく、景色も楽しめて、SUPに合っている場所に感じました。
初めてのSUPでしたが、とても楽しめました。
途中、海に落ちた時にオールを沈めてしまい、進めなくなってしまって、はぐれてしまいましたが、インストラクターの方が探しに来てくれて、オールも見つけてくれて助かりました。
連れも、とても楽しめた様です。
ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I experienced snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)! I was very satisfied with the morning snorkeling as I got to swim with sea turtles and see various fish! The afternoon SUP was a bit difficult at first, but as I got used to it little by little, I started to enjoy it＾＾ The instructors changed between snorkeling and SUP, but both were very kind and taught us well, making it a fun experience throughout! They also took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories♪

午前中にシュノーケリング、午後にＳＵＰを体験しました！
午前のシュノーケリングではウミガメと泳げたり、魚を見れたりできたのでとても満足でした！
午後のSUPは最初難しかったですが、少しずつ慣れてくると楽しめるようになりました＾＾
シュノーケリングとSUPではインストラクターの方が変わりましたが、お二人とも優しく教えてくださり、終始たのしかったです！
また、たくさん写真を撮ってくださるのでとても良い思い出になりました♪
