All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

It was our first time fishing as a couple, and we had a great time thanks to the thorough guidance we received. They made sure we would catch fish, and we really enjoyed it.

Both my husband and I caught several fish, and we ended with smiles, realizing how fun fishing can be. It was also nice to participate without having to bring any gear.

Thank you very much!

夫婦ともに初めての釣りでしたが、何から何まで教えてくださり、必ず釣れるように一生懸命アテンドしてくださって楽しかったです。

夫も私も何匹も釣って、釣りって楽しいんだねーって笑顔で終わることが出来ました。手ぶらで参加できるのも気軽で良かったです。

本当に、ありがとうございました。

During the busy Obon holiday period, we took the Yufuin Water Buffalo Cart Tour in the morning and the Canoe Mangrove Tour in the afternoon. Although our family isn't particularly athletic, they taught us the proper techniques for paddling a canoe, and we were able to manage it well. During the canoe tour, I brought my smartphone in a waterproof case, but I might not have needed it since our guide, Matsuko, took photos and videos for us. She sent the data via LINE on the same day.

It was a very fulfilling day. Even after the tour ended, she shared information about a great coffee café and a place selling pineapples without a vendor, allowing us to enjoy our time until the ferry departure.

Thank you, Matsuko!

お盆休みの混み合う期間で、午前中に由布島水牛車ツアー、午後はカヌーマングローブツアーでした。
家族みな、運動神経がイマイチですが、カヌーの漕ぎ方のコツをちゃんと教えてくれて、乗りこなすことができました。カヌーツアー中、スマホを防水ケースに入れて持っていきましたが、写真や動画は、ガイドのまつ子さんが撮ってくれたので必要なかったかもしれません。その日のうちに、LINEでデータを送ってくれました。
とても充実した1日。ツアーが終わった後も、美味しいコーヒーのカフェや無人販売のパイナップルの情報など教えてくれて、帰りのフェリーの時間まで楽しく過ごせました。
まつ子さん、ありがとうございました！

We chose to go canoeing with two adults, a middle school student, and an elementary school student. We proceeded with two two-person canoes. Since the water level was high, we were able to paddle deep into the mangrove forest, which was a lot of fun. It seems that when the water level is low, you can get out of the canoe and walk. Our time on Yubu Island flew by as we strolled and enjoyed gelato.

大人2名と中学生、小学生でカヌーを選択。
2人乗りを2艇で進みました。
水位が高いタイミングだったため、マングローブ林の奥までカヌーで進むことができ、とても楽しかったです。水位が低い時は、カヌーを降りて歩けるらしい。
由布島は散歩してジェラート食べてたら、あっという間でした。

This was my first trip to Iriomote Island.
I booked it with my family of three for the summer vacation.
On the morning of the tour, as we headed to the meeting point (next to the underwater road: in front of the Iriomote Wildcat statue), we spotted the waterfall at our destination far in the distance, which looked quite large even from afar.
Our guide for the day, Minato, taught us the basics of how to ride a canoe and paddle, and then it was time to practice.
I paddled cautiously at first, but quickly got the hang of it.
Since it was a morning plan, the lake surface was calm, allowing us to paddle with ease.
My high school daughter also enjoyed herself without fear, riding along with the guide.
After paddling for a while, mangroves began to appear on the lake surface, and as we continued along the Hinai River, we started to see the primitive landscape of Iriomote Island with mangrove clusters on both sides.
The guide provided various information, including explanations of the course and the names of the plants we encountered.
Once we reached our destination, we got out of the canoe and began trekking towards the waterfall.
As long as we followed the guide's instructions and were careful on the rocky paths and slopes, there were no issues.
I noticed many small children walking along the way, and it seemed that families were participating in large numbers.
After walking for about 20-30 minutes, we finally arrived at the waterfall.
Looking up at the waterfall, which drops from a height of 50 meters with great force, was overwhelming.
Many people were swimming and diving in the pool at the base of the waterfall.
On the way back, we carefully walked down the mountain path, got back in the canoe, and headed to the starting point.
As seawater entered the river, the water level rose and waves began to form, but with the tips we received, we reached the goal without any trouble.
Although the waterfall seemed far away, I felt a sense of accomplishment being able to reach it by canoe and on foot for the first time.
The Yaeyama soba we had at the café afterward was also delicious.
We were all very satisfied with the tour, experiencing the great nature of Iriomote Island.
Thank you very much.

人生初の西表島旅です。
夏休みに家族3人で予約しました。
ツアー当日の朝に集合場所(海中道路横:イリオモテヤマネコ像前)に向かうと、遥か遠くに今から向かう目的地の滝を発見、遠くからでもかなり大きそうな滝に見えます。
当日帯同してくれるガイド(ミナトさん)からカヌーの乗り方、オールの漕ぎ方の基礎を教わればあとは実践あるのみ。
恐る恐る漕ぎましたが、すぐに慣れます。
当日は午前のプランだからか湖面も穏やかで安心して漕ぎ進められました。
高校生の娘もガイドさんに同乗してもらい怖がることなく楽しそうでした。
暫く漕ぎ続けるとマングローブが湖面に立ち現れ始め、比内川を漕ぎ進めると両脇にマングローブ群が拡がる西表島の原始的な風景が見え始めます。
ガイドのコース説明や群生する植物の名前の紹介など色々な情報を教えてくれます。
川を上り着いたらカヌーを降りて、上方の滝を目指してのトレッキング開始。
途中の岩道や勾配も気を付けながらガイドの指示に合わせて進めば問題無しです。
道中で小さなお子さんも沢山歩いていましたがご家族での参加も多いようです。
歩き続けて20-30分でようやく滝に到着。
滝上を見上げると50mの高さからかなりの勢いで落ちてくる迫力に圧倒されます。
滝壺で泳いだりダイブする人も多いです。
帰りも下りの山道を気を付けて歩いて降りて、カヌーに乗りスタートポイントへ。
川に海水が入り水位が上がり波も出始めますがコツを教わり難なく無事にゴール。
距離がありそうに見えた滝でしたが初めてのカヌーと自分の足で最後まで辿り着けた達成感を感じる事が出来ます。
ツアー参加後に併設しているカフェで食べた八重山そばも美味しかったです。
西表島の大自然を肌で感じることが出来て家族全員で大満足なツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

This is my third time being taken care of by Marine Club Berry. I always appreciate the polite service from the staff and the kind support from the instructors, which makes my experience very pleasant. This time, I participated in the half-day Kerama snorkeling tour. Although it's not a full-day course and we only visit one spot, it's still enough to fully enjoy the beautiful Kerama Blue sea. The weather was clear this time, and the blue was even more vibrant and beautiful.

マリンクラブベリーさんは3回目のお世話になります。
いつもスタッフの方々には丁寧な対応やインストラクターの優しい対応など心地よく利用させていただいてます。
今回も半日で慶良間シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。一日コースでないのでポイントは一ヶ所ですが、それでも十分慶良間ブルーの海を満喫できます。
今回は天気も快晴でブルーが増してとても綺麗でした。

I was a bit anxious with around 100 people at the meeting point, but each tour had a conductor, and we were lucky enough to have Naoto as our dedicated guide for our group of two! My first canyoning experience was filled with natural water slides, rock climbing, and jumping, and I felt like a kid again, having so much fun.

集合場所に100名程いて不安でしたが、ツアーごとにコンダクターがついてくださり、我々は幸運にも1組（2人）でなおとくんが専任で案内してくれました！初めてのキャニオニングは自然のウォータースライダーやロッククライミング、ジャンプなど子供の頃のようにはしゃいでました。

We participated in our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience and sea turtle snorkeling as a family of five on Miyako Island. It was our first time doing SUP, but the staff were very cheerful and kind, which made us feel safe and glad we participated. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, but a funny guy from Kansai with a wonderful smile worked hard to take pictures with Nemo, and we are grateful for the lovely memories captured in those photos. Thank you!

初めての宮古島で家族5人で初sup体験とウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました。初めてのsupでしたがスタッフ方がとても明るく親切で安心して体験する事ができ、参加して良かったです。シュノーケリングは残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、笑顔が素敵な関西人の面白いお兄さんが一生懸命にニモと撮影して頂き、素敵な思い出の写真も感謝です。ありがとうございます。

It was an early morning, but I had a great time and felt fulfilled all day! I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but Naoki Jimuna really got everyone excited, making it the best time! I'll come back to play again! 💫

朝早かったが、一日中楽しめて充実出来ました！
海ガメは見れなかったですが、ナオキジムナーさんが、みんなを盛り上げてくれて最高の時間でした！また遊びに行きます💫

The staff were cheerful and nice.

Due to the boat swaying, about 7 out of 30 people ended up vomiting. There were various people, from children to adults, who vomited both going and returning... Everyone was holding black bags... It was quite an indescribable tour.

We had time for snorkeling twice, but the first time was just to get used to it. I thought I had entered, but I got out right away. I was waiting in line towards the back of the group to get into the water, so my time in the sea might have been shorter as a result.

I unexpectedly joined a tour to see sea turtles and paid the participation fee midway, but only one out of our family of four was able to see them.

It seems they were quite small and far away.

Maybe we were just unlucky...

The staff moved quickly and were always smiling, which was nice.

スタッフさんは明るくてよし。

船が揺れたため、30人中7にくらいが嘔吐してました。子供から大人まで様々な人が行きも帰りも嘔吐して、、、。
みんな黒い袋持って、、、
なんとも言えないツアーでした。

2回シュノーケルする時間ありましが
1回目は、体慣らす程度です。
入ったと思ったらすぐ上がりました。
海に入る列の後ろの方で順番待ちしてたので、余計海にいる時間が短かったのかもしれません。


急遽、海亀見れるツアーに
途中で参加費を払って体験しましたが
家族4人中見れたのは１人だけでした。

かなり遠くで小さく見えたみたいです。


運が悪かったのでしょうか。。



スタッフの方はテキパキ動いて
常に笑顔でよかったです。

We participated with our children and family.

During the morning snorkeling, we were able to meet various colorful fish and a sea turtle, and both the parents and children had a wonderful time.

It was our first time kayaking, but once we got the hang of it, both kids and adults were able to paddle.

The long-formed limestone cave was mysterious and allowed us to enjoy an adventurous feeling, making the time spent kayaking back very enjoyable.

Our guide, Fu-chan, took many wonderful photos for us, and we are grateful for the great memories we were able to create.

Thank you very much!

子どもと家族で参加しました。

午前中のシュノーケリングでは
色鮮やかな様々な魚たちと、
そしてウミガメに会うことができて、
親子共々とても楽しませていただきました。

シーカヤックは初めてでしたが
コツを掴んだら子どもと大人でも漕ぐことができました。

そして長い年月をかけてできた鍾乳洞は
神秘的で探検気分を味わうことができ、
シーカヤックで戻る最後までとても楽しい時間でした。

ガイドのふーちゃんが
素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってくださり
おかげさまでとても良い思い出を作ることができましたこと感謝いたします。

ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of four with our 6-year-old and 4-year-old children, and everyone had a great time. Perhaps because it was high tide, we didn't see many creatures, but instead, we were able to kayak through the mangroves. Paddling the kayak was really fun.

６歳と４歳の子どもと家族４人で参加しましたが、みんな楽しんでいました。
満潮だったせいか、あまり生き物を見ませんでしたが、その代わりマングローブの間をカヤックで進むことができました。
カヤックを漕ぐのは本当に楽しかったです。

The Pinay Sara Falls exceeded my expectations! The explanations about the plants and animals along the way were interesting and kept me engaged. You'll be walking more than you think, so it's essential to prepare your clothing and gear.

ピナイサーラの滝が想像以上でした！
道中の動植物の説明も面白く退屈しませんでした。
思ったより歩くので服装など準備は必須になります。

Thanks to Erika's determination, we were able to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling! Thank you very much.
The exploration of the Pumpkin Cave was made even more enjoyable and moving by the fun conversations and precise explanations from the handsome staff member, Tsubasa. Thank you very much.

シュノーケリングはエリカさんの根性でウミガメと遭遇出来ました！ありがとうございました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞探索はイケメンスタッフのツバサさんがとても楽しい会話、的確な説明で探索をより楽しく感動に導いて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary school child. We were picked up from our hotel in Naha and went to Cape Maeda. Along with us, there was another pair of an elementary school student and their parent, making a total of four participants.

It was my child's first time snorkeling, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, and my child quickly got the hang of it. The wind was strong, and the high tide made the waves a bit rough, which was a little scary, but we just held onto the float and chased the fish underwater while the guide pulled us to the cave.

I was advised by the guide that bringing a smartphone might not be feasible, so I didn't take it, and they were right. They took a lot of photos for us and kindly emailed them the same day, which I really appreciated.

On the way back, we were dropped off at American Village instead of going all the way to Naha, which allowed us to enjoy lunch and sightseeing.

小学生と二人で参加。
那覇市のホテルから送迎していただき、眞栄田岬へ。
うちのほかに小学生親子二人組と一緒になり、参加者4名でした。
子供がほぼ初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださり、すぐに慣れることができました。
風が強く満潮で波も荒くて少し怖かったのですが、浮き輪につかまりずっと水中の魚を追っているだけで、ガイドさんが洞窟まで引っ張ってくださいました。
スマホの持参はガイドさんからそんな余裕ないと思いますよ、と言われたのでもっていかなかったですがおっしゃる通りでした。
たくさん写真を撮ってくださり、当日中にメールで送っていただけたのでありがたかったです。
帰りは那覇まで送っていただけますが、アメリカンビレッジで降ろしていただき、ランチと観光ができてよかったです。

I had a kayaking experience on the Hija River, where I was able to fully enjoy the charm of nature. The instructor's explanations were very interesting, teaching us about the river and the surrounding nature and wildlife in an easy-to-understand manner, mixed with humor. Thanks to this, it became a learning experience rather than just a simple activity. Along the way, I was able to see magnificent mangrove forests, and I was moved by their unique shapes and ecology. As we leisurely paddled along the calm river, the sounds of birds and the wind provided a precious experience that made me forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This kayaking trip became a wonderful memory, allowing me to feel both the richness of Okinawa's nature and the warmth of its people.

比謝川でカヤック体験を行い、自然の魅力を存分に味わうことができました。インストラクターの方の説明がとても面白く、ユーモアを交えながらも分かりやすく川や周辺の自然、生き物について教えていただきました。おかげで単なるアクティビティとしてだけでなく、学びのある時間になりました。途中では立派なマングローブ林を見ることができ、その独特な形や生態に感動しました。静かな川面をゆったりと進みながら、鳥の鳴き声や風の音を感じる時間は、日常の喧騒を忘れさせてくれる貴重な体験でした。今回のカヤックは、沖縄の自然の豊かさと、人の温かさを同時に感じられる素晴らしい思い出となりました。

We participated as two families. It was our first time canoeing, and it was a valuable experience to feel the power of the magnificent mangrove nature. The subsequent trekking led us to the majestic Pinai Sara Falls, where we felt a mystical atmosphere, and it was truly moving! Jumping into the waterfall was incredibly refreshing! The snorkeling tour was also very satisfying, as we got to see beautiful coral and sea turtles. The guide talked a lot with us and was very considerate towards the children, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. I would like to try another tour as well. Thank you very much!

2家族で参加させてもらいました。
初めてのカヌーでマングローブの大自然の迫力を感じれて貴重な体験でした。その後のトラッキングは神秘的な空間を感じながら登った先に壮大なピナイサーラの滝は感動でした！滝壺ドボンも最高に気持ち良かったです！
シュノーケリングは綺麗な珊瑚やウミガメにも会えて大満足なツアーでした！
ガイドさんもたくさんお話してくれて
子どもたちへの気配りもして下さりとても安心して楽しく参加できました。
また違うツアーも体験してみたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and the Pumpkin Cave all in one day. Each activity was so much fun, but the Pumpkin Cave was truly spectacular! You should definitely go. Our guide, Kyon-chan, carefully taught us how to do stand-up paddleboarding, and Tsubasa-san, who was knowledgeable about marine life, shared a lot of information during snorkeling and in the cave. They also sent us photos right away, and we were fortunate to have such great guides. It was a fun tour! 🎵

supして、シュノーケル、パンプキン鍾乳洞を１日に体験してきました。
どれも全部楽しかったけど、パンプキン鍾乳洞は圧巻！！行った方が良い。
担当してくれたガイドのきょんちゃんはsupのやり方を丁寧に教えてくれて、シュノーケル、鍾乳洞では知識豊富なつばささん生物のことを教えてくれました。写真もすぐに送ってくれてガイドさんにも恵まれて、楽しいツアーでした🎵

It was my first trip to Miyako Island, and thanks to Shanks with the red hair, it became a very enjoyable memory. He explained the formation of the Pumpkin Cave in detail, and I was moved by the mystical scenery. I was surprised by the encounter with a sea snake, and diving was also refreshing!

Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles during the afternoon snorkeling, but the kids were very interested in the rare marine creatures like clownfish and sea cucumbers. The sea around Miyako Island is truly beautiful, and I hope to try new activities on my next visit.

初の宮古島旅行でしたが、赤髪のシャンクスさんのおかげでとても楽しい思い出になりました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞の成り立ちについても詳しく説明してくれて、神秘的な風景にも感動しました。ウミヘビの遭遇にビックリしたり、ダイブも気持ち良かったです！
午後のシュノーケルでは残念ながらウミガメは見れませんでしたが、ニモやナマコなど珍しい海の生物に子供達も興味津々でした。
宮古島の海は本当に綺麗で、またの機会には新たなアクティビティにも挑戦したいと思います。

Having Chinese friends made the guided tour in Chinese extremely helpful. We were able to fully enjoy the northern course, and it seemed that we received useful advice from the guide for our activities later on.

中国人の友人達だったので中国語ガイド付きは非常に助かりました。コースも北部を満喫出来ましたし、後日以降の活動に役立つアドバイスをガイドさんからいただいていたようでした。

I made a last-minute reservation for a canoe at Kabira Bay, and I was moved by its beauty beyond my imagination.

On the day of the trip, the weather was clear after the typhoon, and there were few people, which were great conditions. The other members of the group were friendly, and thanks to our cheerful and energetic guide, Yuuki, we were able to enjoy a wonderful time together.

Actually, even though my reservation was confirmed the night before, I received a call that it was fully booked for the morning and would be in the afternoon instead. There were also some misunderstandings about the meeting place, and I was feeling discouraged due to the high-pressure attitude of the phone receptionist. However, thanks to Yuuki and Kabira Bay, those feelings were blown away. Thank you! The night jungle tour was also fun, and I was able to enjoy a starry sky that felt like it was raining down.

I look forward to visiting Ishigaki Island again!

前夜に思い立って予約した川平湾のカヌー。想像以上の美しさに感動しました。
当日は台風後の晴れ、人も少ないという好条件。同じグループの人たちも穏やかで、元気で人懐っこい道産子ガイドのゆうきさんのおかげで和気あいあいと、贅沢な時間を楽しむことができました。

実は、前夜に予約確定してたのに当日の朝に満員だから午後にという連絡をもらい、その後も集合場所の勘違いなどがあり、高圧的な電話受付の方にテンションが下がって行きたくなくなっていたのですが、、、
ゆうきさんと川平湾のおかげで、そんな気持ちも吹き飛びました。ありがとう！夜のジャングルナイトツアーも楽しくて降ってくるような星空を満喫できましたよ。

また石垣島に行ったらよろしくお願いします！

It had been a while since I swam in the ocean, and I was quite tired, but the sea was so beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, which made me very satisfied! There was a little incident where my friend's fin came off, but we were able to keep going without stopping since we got a spare fin!

海で泳ぐのは久々で、かなり疲れたけど、すごく海が綺麗で沢山の魚を見ることができ大満足でした！
途中で友達のフィンが取れるハプニングがありましたが、変えのフィンを貰えたので止まることなく進めました！

The sea in Ishigaki was so beautiful, it moved me. The experience diving was also fun, with many beautiful fish swimming around, making it a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

石垣の海がこんなに綺麗で、感動しました。体験ダイビングも楽しく､綺麗な魚が沢山泳いでいてとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I wanted to go to the Blue Cave, so I signed up for this tour, but for the past three weeks, due to issues with the waves and tide levels, we couldn't go, and it was changed to snorkeling at Shigira Beach.

It was disappointing, but the changed location of Shigira Beach had perfect facilities like the sea, food, and restrooms. Even after the typhoon, the water clarity was high, and it truly felt like a natural aquarium! The kids were also very satisfied. I'll save the Blue Cave for another opportunity.

After that, we moved to a different spot for my first experience with SUP, and the instructors were kind and warm, making it a lot of fun! Even after the tour ended and we parted ways, they kindly helped me with my private plans for the following days, and I plan to follow their advice tomorrow. Thank you, Kyoppi!

Also, one of the other instructors was from the same hometown, and we had a great time chatting about local niche topics. I hope you can reconcile with your dad soon (laughs).

Everyone, I highly recommend this tour!

青の洞窟に行きたくて、このツアーに申し込んだのですが、ここ3週間ほど波と潮位の問題で行けてないとのことで、シギラビーチのシュノーケリングに変更となりました。

残念でしたが、変更となったシギラビーチは海、食事、トイレなど設備が完璧に整ったビーチで、台風のあとでも海の透明度が高く、本当に自然の水族館のようでした！子どもたちも大満足でした。青の洞窟はまた次の機会に置いておきます。

その後、場所を少し移動してSUPの初体験をしたのですが、インストラクターの方々が親切で温かく、とても楽しめました！ツアーが終わって別れたあとも、翌日以降のプライベートの予定について親身に相談にのっていただき、明日は言われた通りに行動しようと思っています。きょっぴさん、ありがとうございました！

また、別のインストラクターの1人の方がピンポイントで地元がいっしょで、地元のマニアックな話で盛り上がり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。早くお父さんと仲直りできるといいですね(笑)

みなさん、オススメのツアーですよ！

We participated as a family of five. It was our first time canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding, but we received thorough instructions, and everyone was thrilled. The snorkeling tour was even more enjoyable than we imagined, and the guide took plenty of photos, which made us very happy. The process from check-in to the end was smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend it.

家族5人で参加。カヌー、SUPは初めてでしたが、丁寧にレクチャーいただき、みんな大喜びでした。シュノーケリングツアーも想像以上に楽しく、ガイドさんにもたくさん写真を撮ってくれて大満足です。受付から最後までスムーズで安心でした。オススメです。

The weather was great, and it was the best.
The staff were very kind, thank you.

It was my first time snorkeling, but they taught me carefully, and I was able to participate with peace of mind.

I was also able to see sea turtles, which was wonderful.

天気も良く　最高でした
スタッフの方達も　とても親切でありがとうございました

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが　丁寧に教えていただき　安心して参加できました

ウミガメも見られて　良かったです

The sea in Kerama was beautiful.

However, the tour had too many people. We were divided into groups for snorkeling, but when we got too close to other groups, we were told to separate! It was hard to hear while snorkeling underwater, so there were unavoidable parts to this, and I wished the organizers had considered this a bit more.

They rushed us when we were trying to get into the water or put on our masks. This tour wasn't suitable for me.

I couldn't enjoy it much, and most of the half-day was spent waiting on the boat.

Next time, I think I'll go for a smaller tour.

慶良間の海はキレイでした

でも、ツアーは人が多すぎて、、シュノーケルはグループに分かれましたが、途中で他のグループに近づいてしまうと離れてください！とかいわれるのですが、海の中ですし、シュノーケルしてるとよく聞こえなかったりもするので致し方ない部分もあり、もう少し運営側の考慮も欲しかったです。

海にはいるタイミングやマスク装着に手間取ってると急かさせるし、、私には向いていないツアーでした

あまり楽しめず、ボートで待っている時間が大半の半日となってしまいました

次回はもっとこじんまりしたツアーでいこうと思いました

I made a reservation for a mangrove canoe experience on a day trip to Iriomote Island. It turned out to be very good. Komasan was in charge, and she was wonderful; the canoe time was very enjoyable. The kids seemed to have fun too! Thank you very much! ⭐︎ Since the tour also included a visit to Yubu Island, we took a water buffalo cart and spent a leisurely time. We had a full day of fun!

日帰りの西表島でマングローブのカヌー体験をしたくて予約しました。
結果とても良かったです。
こまさんが担当してくださいましたが、
とても素敵でカヌーの時間もとても楽しかったです。子供達も楽しそうでした！
ありがとうございました⭐︎
由布島へのツアーもセットだったので
水牛車に乗ってゆっくりとした時間を過ごしました。一日しっかり楽しめました！

The explanation of coral ecology provided a great research opportunity for the children during summer vacation. We went snorkeling in the rain, but once we got into the water, there were no issues. The staff was very attentive, and we had a wonderful experience.

サンゴの生態から説明がはいり、子供たちにとって夏休み研究になる事柄でした。雨の中シュノーケルを行いましたが海に入ると問題なくまたスタッフの方が非常に気を配って頂き楽しく体験できました。

Thank you very much for this experience. I was completely satisfied with the day, enjoying the Pinai Sara Falls in the morning and snorkeling along with the mountains and sea of Iriomote Island in the afternoon. Additionally, I was fortunate to have a great guide, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the activities.

I have done snorkeling at over ten spots in Okinawa, but the coral in Iriomote was the best of all. I was also able to swim with sea turtles.

I definitely want to visit Iriomote Island again.

この度はありがとうごさいました。
午前にピナイサーラの滝、午後はシュノーケリングと西表島の山と海を1日で満喫できて、大満足です。
また、ガイドさんにも恵まれ安心して楽しめました。

シュノーケリングはこれまで沖縄で10ポイント以上行きましたが、どの海よりも最高に西表の珊瑚が素晴らしかったです。また、ウミガメとも一緒に泳ぐことができました。

また、是非西表島を訪れたいです。

The day before, I received a call saying that if we were to go to Yufu Island by rental car, we could take our time without any time constraints. I apologize for the late notice, so we changed our plan to exclude Yufu Island. Thank you for handling the changes with Veltra and for your flexible response.

On the day of the trip, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and half pants for the beach. Before we left, they lent me a waterproof backpack and trekking shoes, and we organized our luggage before heading out.

There were both single and double kayaks available, and since we were participating as a pair, they asked which one we wanted to use.

We set off in a double kayak. It was quite a challenge to synchronize our paddling, so we called out "right, left, right, right, right, left" together, and the guide complimented us, saying, "That's great!" (laughs). I heard that some people end up arguing during this part... (sweat).

After enjoying the kayaking, we moved on to trekking! We took short breaks along the way, and the guide explained the unique plants and animals of the Yaeyama Islands and took photos for us. There were some challenging spots, but we listened carefully to the guide's instructions and communicated with those behind us, climbing together as a group.

Among the people we passed, there were elderly individuals and small children!

We initially planned not to enter the water at Pinai Sara Falls, but seeing everyone enjoying themselves in the heat and the open air made us decide to go in. We carefully entered from the shallow area, and thanks to the life jackets, we were able to float and had a lot of fun.

We chatted while eating our lunch, then retraced our steps and kayaked back.

It seems that showers are available for a fee, but they kindly provided us with a free shower room just for changing.

We were blessed with good weather and wonderful participants, making it a very enjoyable experience.

前日に、レンタカー行動なら由布島は自分達で行った方が時間の制約がなくゆっくりできますよ。連絡遅くてすみません。と電話をくれたので、由布島なしのプランへ変更しました。
ベルトラの変更手続きもしてくださり、柔軟な対応ありがとうございました。

当日は、水着と上下ラッシュガードに海辺用のハーフパンツを着用して現地へ。出発前に防水リュックとトレッキング用の靴を貸してくれ、荷物を整理して出発。

カヌーは1人用と2人用があり、2人で参加したため、どちらにするか聞かれました。

２人用で出発。息を合わせないと大変で、右、左、右、右、右、左と２人で声を出しあって漕いでいたら、ガイドさんに、良いですね〜と言われました（笑）中には、ケンカになってしまう方もいるらしいです。。。苦笑

カヌーを満喫して次はトレッキング！
途中で小休憩も取ってくれますし、八重山特有の植物や動物達を説明してくれたり写真も撮ってくれます。なかなかハードな場所もありましたが、ガイドさんの言葉をきちんと聞いて、後ろの人達にも伝え、みんなで登りました。

すれ違う人達の中には、ご高齢の方や小さな小さなお子様もいました！

ピナイサーラの滝で滝壺へ入らない予定でしたが、暑さと開放感とみんなが気持ち良さそうにしているのをみて入ることにしました。浅瀬から足元を注意しながらゆっくりと入っていき、ライフジャケットのお陰でぷかぷか浮かぶことができて楽しかったです。

お弁当を食べながらおしゃぺりして、またまた来た道を戻り、再びカヌーに乗って戻りました。

シャワーは有料のようですが、着替えのみのため、無料でシャワールームを貸してくれました。

お天気にも参加者のみなさんにも恵まれ、とても楽しかったです。
