All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I went in the evening on the day I arrived in Okinawa! The staff provided a thorough explanation of how to paddle a kayak, and I was able to enjoy the experience very much. The personalities of the staff were also great, making this trip a wonderful memory!

沖縄到着日の夕方に行きました！
カヤックの漕ぎ方など丁寧にレクチャーしていただき、とても快く体験することが出来ました。スタッフのお兄さん達のお人柄も良くこの旅の最高の思い出になりました！

My first dining experience.
At first, I struggled to breathe, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.
I was also moved to see the sea turtles up close.

初めてのダイニング。
最初は呼吸に苦労しましたが直ぐ慣れて楽しめました。
ウミガメも間近で見れて感動です。

Although we are in our mid-40s and not very active, we were able to safely and enjoyably participate until the end thanks to the constant attention of our guide, who helped us with unfamiliar trekking, canoe paddling techniques, and even the pace of our breaks.

It was a long-awaited canoe experience, and we were blessed with good weather. The enjoyable conversations with other participants and our guide, along with the delicious warm lunch, created wonderful memories.

The breeze felt on the canoe was very pleasant, making it a special experience.

運動不足の40代半ばの私達でしたが、慣れないトレッキングも、カヌーの漕ぎ方も、休憩のペースまで、ガイドの方が常に気を配ってくださったので、最後まで安全に、楽しく参加できました。
念願のカヌー体験でしたが、お天気にも恵まれ、他の参加者の方やガイドの方との楽しい会話も、温かいランチの味も、良い思い出になりました。
カヌーの上で感じる風は、とても心地良く、特別な体験でした。

The sea was cold, but we were able to go from the sea turtles to Pumpkin Hall. We quickly encountered the sea turtles, and the snorkeling afterward was very enjoyable. After that, we headed straight to Pumpkin Hall! We walked a lot, so we were tired, but thanks to the quick pace, there was no one inside, allowing us to enjoy it at our leisure. We received various explanations about both the sea turtles and Pumpkin Hall, which made it very easy to understand! Thanks to that, we finished around 12:30, so we were able to go sightseeing afterward. I would like to request this again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much! ^^

海が寒いということで、ウミガメ→パンプキンホールと続けて行ってくれました。ウミガメにもすぐ逢えて、その後のシュノーケリングもとても楽しかったです。その後はそのままパンプキンホールへ！いっぱい歩いたから疲れたけど、早かったおかげか、中に誰もいなくてゆっくりと楽しむことが出来ました。ウミガメもパンプキンホールも色々と説明をしてもらいながらなので、とても分かりやすかったです!
おかげで12時半くらいには終わったので、その後も観光に行けました♪
また機会あればお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました^^

It was disappointing that we couldn't go to Palau Island and the caves because of the high waves. In the morning, we all had our first SUP experience as a family. Just when we got the hang of it, we fell into the river... that also became a fun memory. In the afternoon, we went canyoning, and our guide Diego was very knowledgeable, providing an interesting and enjoyable experience. We had a meaningful day and captured many great shots! I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

波が高くてパラス島&鍾乳洞には行けなかったのは残念でした。午前は家族みんなの希望で、初SUP体験。慣れた頃に川へドボン・・これも楽しい思い出になりました。午後はキャニオニング、ガイドのジエゴさんは知識が豊富で、おもしろ&楽しく案内して頂き、有意義な１日を過ごすことが出来ました。沢山のベストショットも最高‼️
機会があればまた訪れたいです。

On the day of the activity, due to the typhoon, the sea conditions were poor, and we couldn't do SUP or snorkeling at the planned locations. However, they chose a safe place to conduct the activities. The staff was very considerate, engaging with everyone during the activity and even in the shuttle, creating a friendly atmosphere. They also provided explanations about the nature and wildlife of Ishigaki Island during the activities, making for a fun and fulfilling day. It was great that they recommended various dining options as well.

当日は台風の影響で海況が悪く、SUPもシュノーケルも予定の場所ではできなかったのですが、安全な場所を選んで催行していただきました。
スタッフの方はとても気を遣ってくださり、アクティビティ中はもちろんのこと、送迎の車中から全員に話しかけて場を和ませてくれたり、アクティビティ中には、石垣島の自然や生き物の説明をしてくれたり、楽しく充実した1日になりました。
オススメの飲食店を色々教えていただけたのも良かったです。

I was asked about mangrove issues along the way, but it was so much fun that I completely forgot...
The service from Tenshin was very good.
Thank you!

途中でマングローブの問題を出されるが
楽しすぎて完璧に忘れてしまう。。。
天心さんの接客がとてもよかった
ありがとうございました！

Thank you for the very attentive guidance. I apologize for the inconvenience caused when my child fell asleep during the tour, but I appreciate your kind support.

とても丁寧なガイドありがとうございました。
途中で子どもが寝てしまいご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいましたが、優しくフォローして頂きました。

Although we couldn't land on Balas Island, we had a great time kayaking, trekking, and snorkeling. We were also grateful for the many photos taken!

バラス島は着陸出来なかったけど、カヤック、トレッキング、シュノーケルと楽しく出来ました。写真も沢山撮って下さり、有り難かったです！

It was disappointing that the sky was cloudy and we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the fish. The guide was kind, and I was able to experience the tour while listening to stories about Okinawa.

The kayaking, in particular, was great as we went far out and it felt wonderful.

Also, the pork shabu-shabu restaurant you recommended at the end was delicious! Thank you very much!

Next time, I will try again on a sunny day! ☆

曇空だったことと、青の洞窟に行けなかったことは残念でしたが、綺麗な海とお魚さんを楽しむことができました。
ガイドさんは優しく、沖縄話をしながら体験できました。
特にカヤックは遠くまで行けて、すごく気持ちよかったです。

あと、最後に教えていただいた豚しゃぶのお店、美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！

今度は晴れた日にまたリベンジしまーす☆

Initially, we were scheduled to go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but we heard on the day of the event that we wouldn't be going in that direction due to the wind. I appreciated the suggestions for cancellations or rescheduling. Since our schedule was tight this time, we decided to go ahead as planned.

We enjoyed seeing the coral and fish. The life jackets and wetsuits were perfectly sized, so my wife, who isn't a strong swimmer, was able to enjoy herself without worry.

Afterward, there were showers available, which was great for warming up our chilled bodies.

We took a lot of photos, making it a tour that I can confidently say was enjoyable.

Our guide, Acchan, was cheerful and really great, which added to the experience.

当初の予定では、青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングでしたが、風の影響で洞窟方向へは行かないと当日現地で聞きました。
キャンセルや日程変更も提案していただきありがたかったです。
今回は予定が詰まっていた為、そのまま決行。
珊瑚や魚を、見て楽しみました。

ライフジャケット、ウェットスーツもバッチリサイズで、泳ぎが得意じゃない奥さんも、安心して楽しめました。

終了後は、シャワーもあるので、冷えた体には良かったです。

写真もたくさん撮っていただき、良かったと言えるツアーでした。

ガイドのあっちゃんも、明るくて良い子で本当に良かったです。

The explanations were also very thorough. Next time, I want to go to Sunset and I would like to participate in a different tour as well. I will come again.

説明も丁寧な感じでよかったです
今度はサンセットで行きたいです違うツアーでも参加したいと思います
また来ます

I had a morning reservation, but considering the weather and sea conditions, the instructor suggested a time change! On top of that, the early morning sea was still empty, and I was the first to enjoy the cave! The instructor also taught me carefully, so I was able to relax and have fun even though I can't swim! Thank you very much! I would like to do it again.

早朝予約していましたが、天気や海の状況を加味してくれましてインストラクターさんから時間変更提案してくれました！その上で早朝の海はまだ誰も入ってなく1番乗りで洞窟も楽しめました！あとインストラクターさんからも丁寧に教えてもらい、泳げなくても安心して楽しめました！ありがとうございました！また願いしたいです。

On October 17th, I participated with my family of five. For the experience diving, only two people can be guided by one instructor, but we had three instructors guiding two, two, and one, respectively. They also took a family photo for us, which became a wonderful memory. The instructors were very kind, and despite our initial anxiety, all five of us enjoyed the diving. The waters around Kerama were very beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish than I had imagined and that we didn't encounter any sea turtles. After boarding, there was also an affordable parasailing option available, and unexpectedly, we were able to experience parasailing as well, making our day in Okinawa very meaningful.

10/17に家族5人で参加しました。体験ダイビングは1人のインストラクターに2名までしか引率できないのですが、3人のインストラクターで2名+2名+1名を引率してしただき、家族5人の集合写真を撮影していただき、とても良い思い出となりました。インストラクターの方はとても親切で、不安のあったダイビングも5人全員楽しめました。慶良間の海はとても綺麗でしたが、想像していたよりはお魚の数が少なかったこと、ウミガメには出会えなかったことが少し残念でした。乗船後に格安でのパラセーリングのオプションも用意されており、思いがけずのパラセーリング体験もでき、沖縄での1日をとても有意義に過ごすことができました。

The fun time flew by in an instant. Although we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the weather, I am more than satisfied! The cave adventure, canoeing, jungle exploration, and the Lucky Falls were all exciting. While canoeing, the surrounding tranquility made me want to stop paddling and just listen. It was a collection of precious experiences! Yoshida's guidance was easy to understand and I had a great time. He took so many photos that I didn't even need my phone. I want to visit Iriomote Island again! I wonder which waterfall I should go to next! Thank you very much!

楽しい時間はあっという間に終わりました。天候の関係でバラス島には行けませんでしたが、それ以上に満足しています！
鍾乳洞冒険、カヌー、ジャングル探検、幸運の滝、どれもワクワク◎カヌーでは、周りの静けさに思わず漕ぐのをやめて耳を澄ませたくなります。貴重な体験ばかりでした！
吉田さんのガイドもわかりやすくてとっても楽しめました(^^)写真もたくさん撮って下さるので携帯いらずです。また西表島に来たいな〜！次はどこの滝に行こうかな〜！ありがとうございました(^o^)

Originally, we had planned to do SUP at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to high waves, we quickly changed to SUP in the mangroves and landing on the Phantom Island for snorkeling.
As a result, it turned out to be a very satisfying tour!
The staff were very kind and shared a lot of detailed information about the island, making me want to visit the outer islands next time.
Phantom Island was truly beautiful and moving!
I was really happy about the free photo service.
They also suggested poses, which helped avoid having the same types of photos.
I was surprised to receive nearly 200 photos.
Kubo, our guide, was only 22 years old and was the captain; it was fun to see starfish and sea turtles while snorkeling.
Thank you very much!

元々川平湾のSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングの予定でしたが、波が高いということで急遽マングローブでのSUPと幻の島上陸＆シュノーケリングに変更となりました。
結果的に、とても満足いくツアーになりました！
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で島のことを詳しく色々と教えてくださって、次は離島にも行ってみたいと思いました。
幻の島は本当に綺麗で感動しました！
写真撮影の無料サービスがあるの、本当に嬉しいです。
ポーズの提案もしてもらえて、同じような写真ばかりにならないのも良かったです。
しかも200枚近く送ってもらえてびっくりしました。
案内してくださった久保さんが22歳の若さで船長をされており、シュノーケリングでヒトデやウミガメを見つけてくれたのも楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I explored the great nature of Yanbaru, going down waterfalls and climbing cliffs. It was challenging, but it was okay even if I wasn't confident in my physical strength. It was so much fun, and I want to participate again when I go to Okinawa!!

やんばるの大自然の中、滝をくだったり崖を登ったりしながら探検しました。ハードではありましたが、体力に自信がなくても大丈夫でした。とても楽しくて、また沖縄に行ったら参加したいです！！

There were more options on the menu than I initially thought, and there were plenty of opportunities to interact with multiple dolphins, so I enjoyed every moment!

最初に思ってたよりメニューの内容が複数あって複数のイルカと触れ合う機会が盛りだくさんあり時間いっぱいたのしめました！！

Participating in my 60s, enduring a tough hike, the view from above the waterfall and the magnificent waterfall seen from below were incredible. Above all, canoeing while listening to the guide's experiences was the best part.

60代目前で参加、つらい登山に耐え滝上から見た景色や滝下から見た素晴らしい滝、なんと言ってもガイドさんの体験談を聞きながらのカヌーが最高でした。

It was fun. Thanks to the guide's thorough explanations, I was able to enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island. The weather was also favorable, making it a perfect day. Next, I want to go snorkeling.

楽しかったです。
ガイドさんの丁寧な説明のおかげで、西表島の自然を楽しめました。
天気にも恵まれ、最高の1日でした。
つぎはシュノーケリングがしたいです。

The sea was very beautiful! I enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. The beach staff told me where to find sea turtles, and I was able to see them too.

海がとてもキレイでした！カヤックやシュノーケリングして楽しみました。ビーチのスタッフにウミガメがいるところを教えてもらい、ウミガメも見ることができました。

It was rainy, but the underwater scenery was beautiful and I had a great time! The service was very polite, and I was satisfied because I even got to see a turtle!

雨だったけど、水中はきれいで、楽しかったです！
対応もすごく丁寧で、亀さんにも会えたので満足です！

The tour to Barasu Island was canceled due to the typhoon (I received a call the day before), but I was refunded the difference.

Two staff members accompanied us, and both were very entertaining, making the experience a lot of fun! They shared various interesting facts about plants and mangroves, making it a very enjoyable tour. They even took the initiative to get under the waterfall, which gave us the courage to do the same! They took a lot of photos (over 100), making it a memorable tour!

I would like to rely on them again when I visit Ishigaki Island or Iriomote Island. Thank you very much!

台風の影響でバラス島のツアーは中止になってしまいましたが(前日に電話をいただきました)、差額は返金していただけました。

スタッフの方が2人ついてくださったのですが、2人とも面白い方達で、すごく楽しませていただきました！植物の事やマングローブの事など、色々な豆知識も教えてくださり、とても楽しいツアーでした。滝にも率先して打たれてくださり、自分達も滝に打たれる勇気が出ました笑　写真もずっと撮ってくださり(100枚越え)、とても思い出になるツアーでした！

また石垣島や西表島に行く際はお世話になりたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

It was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the kind guidance of the staff, it became the best memory. I would like to participate again.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方がとても優しく接していただいたおかげで最高の思い出になりました。
また、参加したいと思っております。

I remembered the Mehiligigajumaru Akobijar River! The guide's response was good! It's a pity I couldn't see the sunset, but I would like to use this service again.

メヒルギガジュマルアコービジャ川を覚えました！
ガイドさんの対応が良かったです！
サンセットが見れなかったのはざんねんですが、また利用したいと思います。

Due to the weather, the snorkeling and SUP activity was changed to mangrove SUP, but I found the calm mangroves to be very soothing! The staff member's talk about Ishigaki Island was very easy to understand and sparked my interest in nature. They also shared various recommendations for shops and famous stargazing spots on Ishigaki Island, making my trip very enjoyable! If you're going to make a reservation, do it here!

天候によりシュノーケリング&SUPからマングローブSUPに変更になりましたが、穏やかなマングローブでのSUPに心癒されました！
スタッフのお兄さんの石垣島トークがとても分かりやすく自然について関心が持てます。
また、おすすめのお店や星空の名所など石垣島について色々教えてくださりとても楽しく旅行できました！
予約するならここで！

This was my first landing on a remote island from Ishigaki Island. I was looking forward to the Phantom Island, but due to the weather, it was canceled, and we had to change our course at the last minute. However, we were all very satisfied and healed by the adorable water buffalo! Next time, I want to land on Phantom Island and experience snorkeling!

石垣島からはじめての離島上陸。楽しみにしていた幻の島はお天気の都合で中止になり、急きょコースを変更しましたが、とても可愛らしい水牛に癒されて子供達も大人も大満足でした！次こそは幻の島に上陸してシュノーケリングを体験したいと思います！

A leisurely paddle on the surface of the water while enjoying the view of Kabira Bay offers an elegant experience that you can't find in everyday life. Although I struggled a bit against the headwind while stand-up paddleboarding, the beautiful scenery made the fatigue disappear!

川平湾を見ながらゆっくりの水面散歩は、日常生活では味わえない優雅な時間を過ごせます。ちょっぴり向かい風に苦戦しながらのSUPでしたが、ステキな景色をゆっくり見ながらだったので疲れも吹っ飛びます！

I made a reservation to visit Iriomote Island the day before and received prompt responses via email and phone. I was worried about the wind that started in the evening. In the morning, I was concerned about whether the boat would depart from Ishigaki to Taketomi Island, but I received a call informing me of a change in the port and that I should take a bus to the designated arrival point, which I reached safely.

After a brief orientation, my spouse and I set off in a single canoe, enjoying the sounds of birds and water, along with our guide's explanations. It was a delightful time, and as we began to see the waterfall, I wondered if we could make it there. After getting off the canoe, we embarked on our first trek, supported by our guide's stories. Once we arrived, I forgot my age and jumped into the waterfall, feeling grateful to have come. While enjoying rice balls with the beautiful waterfall in view, I was thankful for the meal. On the way back, our guide was considerate and shared stories, making the canoeing experience enjoyable.

It was a short time, but I had a wonderfully relaxing and fun experience, perhaps getting a little taste of the beauty of Iriomote Island.

前日に西表島訪問を申し込み、メールや電話の対応にも応じて頂きました。夜から風があり心配でした。朝から竹富島出発のため石垣から船が出るのか心配していましたら、お電話を頂き港の変更、バス利用にて到着を指定頂き無事到着。タッタラー♫簡単な講習で仲良く一人乗りカヌーで夫婦はいざ出発、鳥の鳴き声、水の音、ガイドさんの説明楽しいひとときで滝が見え始める演出、ウワー、あそこまで行けるかな?カヌーを降りて初トレッキング、ガイドさんのお話に助けられ何とか到着後、歳を忘れて滝に飛び込み、来てよかった滝を見ながらおにぎりを頬張りおご馳走様でした帰りもガイドの方に気遣いいただいたり、お話を聞きながらカヌーが楽しかった次第でありました。心は小学生。西表島の素晴らしさをちょっぴり味わったかも
短い時間でしたがゆったりと最高に楽しゅうございました。

At the beginning of November, the cloudy weather made it comfortable to complete the entire journey without feeling hot. The tough parts of the canoeing were over in an instant. The trekking portion was manageable, and it went by quickly while chatting with the guide. The waterfall was truly magnificent, making it worth the effort. I highly recommend it. The basin of the waterfall was also great.

11月初めの曇天で、暑くないので快適に全行程を終えれた。カヌーは辛い箇所は一瞬で終了。トレッキング部分はそれなりだけど、ガイドさんと会話しながらだとあっという間。滝がとても素晴らしいので頑張りがいはある。オススメ。滝壺も良かった。
