Dolphin Quest Family-Friendly Dolphin Swim Experiences near Churaumi Aquarium

Childhood dream come true

Reviewed by: Alice Sophie

I had a once in a life time experience interacting with dolphins at Motobu Genki Village! While a lot of people will head for Churaumi aquarium to watch whales and fish in big tanks, I opted for a closer encounter with these wonderful sea creatures. It is worth noting that the dolphins at Genki Village live in the actual sea, albeit in designated sections. Swimming with dolphins has been a childhood dream of mine, and I still can’t believe that it actually came true. Not only that, but I was in such luck that I was the only person in my booked time slot - meaning the very nice and skilled trainer directed all her attention to me. And I got to swim with the dolphin in question, Money - four whole times. Twice hanging onto her top fin and twice over her belly when she swam upside down. The trainer and Money put on quite the show, with funny tricks and mirroring theatrics which I also was a participant in. I had to the best time, and I have videos from the event of me laughing excitedly like a little kid. Besides the main activity itself, I got to loan a wet suit (winter time), crocs and a towel, and the changing room had lockers and the showers schampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The only thing I had to bring myself was a bathing suit - it could not have been smoother! I am so so happy to have experienced this! If you are in doubt, don’t be - just do it - you won’t regret it!

パンプキン鍾乳洞＆シーカヤック＋選べるアクティビティで宮古島の海を満喫しよう！＜1日／宮古島＞ by宮古島 ADVENTURE PiPi

It became one of my fun memories of Miyako Island. 🌺 宮古島の楽しい思い出の1つになりました🌺

Reviewed by: こっしー

It was a cloudy day, but we started snorkeling right on the same property as the hotel we were staying at, and the water was incredibly clear!

Since I live in Okinawa, I love snorkeling during the summer, and it was fun to see beautiful coral reefs and different fish than those found on the main island!

Moreover, within just five minutes of starting, we encountered two sea turtles, which made me really happy! 😳

It was also helpful to have some time to take a break at the hotel and shower!

In the afternoon, we went on the pumpkin tour. It started to rain, and the sea was a bit rough, so paddling in the canoe was quite tiring! 😂 It was challenging to get into the pumpkin cave, but once inside, we were able to climb and experience things we normally wouldn’t, which felt like an adventure!

The final jump was quite nerve-wracking, but it became a great memory!

The weather was pretty questionable, but thanks to the wonderful and dandy bearded guy, Gen-chan, who took care of us with a smile from start to finish, we made the best memories! Thank you!

当日どんより曇でしたが宿泊していたホテルと同じ敷地内でシュノーケルから開始したんですが、、めちゃくちゃ透明度あるー！！

沖縄在住なので自分達で夏はシュノーケルするぐらい好きなのですが、珊瑚礁も綺麗で魚も本島とは違う魚がいたりして楽しかったです！

しかも開始して5分くらいでもう2匹のウミガメさんに遭遇できて嬉しかったです😳

一旦ホテルで休憩してシャワー浴びる時間があったのも助かりました！

午後からはパンプキンツアーへ
雨降り始めたのと海がうねっていたのでカヌーで漕ぐのはかなーり疲れました笑！
またパンプキン鍾乳洞の中に入るまで大変だったのに鍾乳洞の中もよじ登ったり普段ではしない体験ができて冒険してるみたいで楽しかったです！

最後飛び込みはかなりびびりましたが、いい思い出になりました！

お天気は微妙すぎましたが、最初から最後までつきっきりでお世話してくださった笑顔が素敵なダンディー髭男げんちゃんのおかげで最高の思い出ができました！ありがとうございました！

Experience in late December during winter. 冬12月下旬の体験

Reviewed by: t.s

I experienced winter activities in the mangroves of Iriomote Island. It was a clear day, with a pleasant breeze and no heat, making it very comfortable weather!

The atmosphere in the mangroves was quiet and calming, and it felt like time was flowing slowly, which allowed me to relax a lot. I thought to myself, "Isn't this the best time of year?"

Spending time leisurely in nature became one of the most memorable moments of my trip!

西表島のマングローブで、冬のアクティビティを体験しました。この日は快晴で、風も心地よく、暑さもなくとても過ごしやすい天気でした！

マングローブの中は静かで落ち着いた雰囲気で、時間がゆっくり流れている感じがして、とてもリラックスできました。「今が一番いい時期なんじゃない？」と思うくらい、ちょうど良いコンディションでした。

自然の中でのんびり過ごせて、旅の中でも特に印象に残る時間になりました！

This time, I booked a tour for mangrove canoeing and a visit to Yufu Island, and I had a really enjoyable time. Paddling through the mangrove forest felt wonderful and was also quite mystical. I was able to see water buffalo up close, which was very satisfying!!

Additionally, our tour guide, "Macchan," was a kind person of the same generation, which made the experience even better! We were able to share various personal stories, which enhanced our enjoyment of the tour. For lunch, he recommended several dishes, and I was thrilled to be able to try "squid ink yakisoba, soki soba, gulkun burger, coffee, and pineapple cake."

I highly recommend this tour, so if you're considering it, definitely go for it!!

今回はマングローブカヌーと、由布島観光のツアーを申し込み、とても楽しい時間でした。
マングローブの森の中をカヌーで進んでゆくのはとても気持ちが良く、また神秘的でもありました。
水牛も間近で見ることができ、大満足です！！
また、ツアーガイドの「まっちゃん」が同世代で優しい人柄で最高でした！
お互いの身の上話も色々とできて、より一層ツアーを楽しめました。
ランチもいろいろ教えてくださり、「イカスミ焼きそば、ソーキそば、グルクンバーガー、コーヒーにパイナップルケーキ」とたくさん食べることができて嬉しかったです。

本当におすすめのツアーなので、迷われている方がいればぜひ！！

マングローブカヌー＋ピナイサーラの滝トレッキングツアー　滝上からの絶景と滝つぼから見上げる迫力の滝に感動！＜上原港または西部地区ホテル無料送迎／西表島＞

I was able to climb too! 私も登れました！

Reviewed by: grace

I really wanted to see the view from the top of the Pinaisara Falls on Iriomote Island, so I signed up for this tour, which had no age restrictions. The place the guide pointed to as the starting point was a cliff. I thought, "Seriously?! We're climbing this cliff?!" and felt a bit regretful... but after about 40 minutes of gripping tree roots, I managed to make it to the top. The view from above the falls was absolutely unforgettable and amazing. I was told I was the oldest among those who climbed this year, but the guide was very kind and provided great support, which made me feel at ease. The explanations about the rare plants and animals were also very educational.

西表島のピナイサーラ滝の上からの光景をどうしても見たくて、年齢制限のなかったこのツアーを申し込みました。「ここから登ります」と指さされた場所は、崖。「マジですか！？こんな崖を登るの！？」と少し後悔しましたが⋯そこから40分ほど木の根っこを掴みながら何とか登りきりました。滝の上からの景色は一生忘れられない素晴らしいものでした。今年登った人の中の最高齢と言われましたが、ガイドさんが優しく指導してくれたので安心でした。珍しい動植物の説明もとても勉強になりました。

The long-awaited family snorkeling experience!! 念願の家族でシュノーケリング体験！！

The weather was cloudy, but the clear blue sea was full of fish. It was very beautiful. We participated as a family with our 7-year-old and 9-year-old children, and all the staff were kind and supportive of the kids, allowing us to participate with peace of mind.

(For the morning sea turtle snorkeling, thank you to Rin-chan, who was gentle and kind, and for the afternoon pumpkin tour on the canoe, thank you to Gen-chan, who had a wonderful smile and a dandy beard!)

Now that my younger child is in elementary school, we were finally able to participate in sea activities as a family! The pumpkin cave exploration involved climbing to high places with ropes, and at the end, we even got to jump in. The kids, who love athletics, were filled with excitement and had a great time. It was a tour where we felt a lot of mystical power and gained strength.

天気はくもりでしたが、透き通ったブルーの海の中は魚もいっぱい。とてもきれいでした。
７歳と９歳の子どもと家族で参加しましたが、スタッフの方は、みなさん優しく子どもをサポートしてくださり、安心して参加出来ました。
（午前のウミガメシュノーケリングは、物腰優しい凛太郎のりんちゃん、午後のカヌーに乗ってパンプキンツアーは、笑顔が素敵なダンディー髭男げんちゃん、ありがとうございました！！）

下の子が小学生になって、海のアクティビティに、やっと家族で参加する事が出来ました！
パンプキンの洞窟探検は、高い場所へロープで登ったり、最後は飛び込みも出来たり、アスレチック好きな子ども達はワクワクがいっぱいでとても楽しめました。
神秘的なパワーもたくさん感じて、力をもらえたツアーでした

The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and the stories about plants and animals were fascinating. I learned so much and felt a great sense of satisfaction! It wasn't just a tour where you are taken around; it was a valuable experience that allowed me to deeply understand the nature of Iriomote Island.

Kayaking through the great outdoors was a bit chilly, but jumping into the pool at the Pinaisara Falls was an amazing memory. Thank you for recommending great places to eat in Ishigaki Island! I would love to join another tour when I come back to Iriomote Island. For those who are unsure, I highly recommend it!

ガイドのお兄さんがとにかく知識豊富で、植物や生き物の話が面白く、沢山のことを教えていただき満足感がすごいです！
ただ連れて行ってもらうツアーではなく、西表島の自然を深く知ることができる貴重な体験でした。

Only possible on Iriomote Island! 西表島でしかできない！

Reviewed by: ちひ

I was hoping to go snorkeling, but due to bad weather, it was changed. What a shame.

In the morning, I went on a mangrove canoe tour guided by Matsushita, also known as Macchan. We paddled up the river with mangroves on both sides. The current was gentle, and while listening to explanations about the island, we smoothly made our way forward, enjoying the magnificent nature. Before turning back, we landed on the shore to see some plants and a waterfall. On the way back, we relaxed and arrived at the estuary without having to paddle.

After a lunch break, in the afternoon, we went canyoning guided by Shogo. We walked over rocky areas, jumped in about three times, and slid down the stream. At the waterfall, we enjoyed being hit by the flow, going behind it, and fully experiencing the great outdoors! When climbing the rocks or jumping into the river, the guides carefully showed us where to place our feet, allowing us to play safely.

Canoeing and canyoning may seem difficult, but the guides pay close attention and teach you, so there were no injuries, and it's fine even for beginners. I think even elementary school students can do it. Since we came all the way to Iriomote Island, I believe it's better to leave it to the guides to fully enjoy the island's nature and play safely, plus they teach you various things about the island, which is very helpful.

This time it was winter, so unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but I was very satisfied. Especially canyoning is definitely worth doing at least once!

Also, they provide wetsuits, so it wasn't cold, and we could use the shower after the experience. We got to take a lot of photos as well. I was a bit anxious since it was an unfamiliar place and I was meeting the guides for the first time, but everything turned out to be great!

シュノーケリングを希望していましたが、荒天のため変更になってしまいました。残念。

午前中はまっちゃんこと松下さんのガイドの元、マングローブカヌーでした。マングローブを両サイドに見ながら、川を上っていきます。流れも穏やかで、島の説明を聞き、雄大な自然を見ながら、スイスイ進んでいきます。折り返し前に陸地に上陸し、植物を見たり、滝を見たり。帰りは漕がなくてものんびりしながら河口につきました。

お昼休憩を挟んで、午後は翔吾さんガイドの元、キャニオニング。岩場を歩いて、途中3回ほど飛び込みをしたり、沢を滑り降りたりしました。滝では、流れに打たれたり、裏側へ回ったり、大自然を満喫しました！岩場を登る時や川に飛び込む時も、足の置き場まで丁寧に教えてくださり、安全に遊べました。

カヌーもキャニオニングも難しそうに感じますが、ガイドさんが細かく見てくれ、教えてくださるので、怪我もないですし、初めてでも大丈夫です。小学生でも大丈夫だと思いました。
せっかく西表島に来るからには、島の自然を満喫でき、楽しく安全に遊べるよう、ガイドさんにお任せしたほうがいいと思いますし、島の色んなことも教えてもらえるので、とても助かります。
今回は冬だったので、あいにくの天気でしたが、大満足でした。特にキャニオニングは一度やる価値有りです！

あと、ウエットスーツは貸してもらえるので寒くはないですし、体験後シャワーも使えました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。なんとなく、始まるまでは知らない土地だし、ガイドさんも初めて会うので不安でしたが、色々ハズレなし感でした。

マングローブSUP orカヌーorバラス島シュノーケリング＋由布島観光　選べるアクティビティ＜上原港または上原地区ホテル無料送迎／西表島＞

December is an off-peak season and highly recommended. 12月は穴場シーズンでおすすめ

Reviewed by: あい

The Yaeyama Islands in December have relatively few tourists, making it a hidden gem season where you can enjoy a relaxed experience away from the crowds! Early December typically has relatively high temperatures, so just bringing a short-sleeved shirt and a light jacket is usually sufficient, allowing for comfortable winter days!

During the summer tourist season, visitors tend to concentrate, and ferries from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island can become fully booked, leading to difficulties in securing reservations for desired departures or long waiting times. In contrast, December offers more flexibility for travel and activities, making it a great time for family trips where you can easily plan your itinerary without feeling rushed!

On Iriomote Island, we had a kayaking experience in one of Japan's largest mangrove forests! The course follows a gentle river, making it suitable for beginners and families with children! In December, there are days when the north wind blows strongly, and during those times, you may need more strength to paddle than you might expect! However, while kayaking, you wear a life jacket and are constantly moving, so you hardly feel the cold! The guide provides support based on the weather and the participants' physical condition, so you can join with peace of mind! If you find it physically challenging and can’t paddle anymore, the guide will tow you! By the way, this time, Shogo from Pipi Iriomote Island was our guide, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable kayaking tour!

Additionally, the weather on Iriomote Island can change rapidly, and the weather forecast may not always be reliable! It’s recommended to bring rain gear, such as a raincoat, in case of sudden rain! Even with a little rain, enjoying the natural atmosphere is one of the unique charms of Iriomote Island!

After the kayaking experience, we took a lunch break and then traveled by bus to ride a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island! It’s a wonderful experience to cross the sea while listening to the sound of the sanshin! This winter tour of Iriomote Island is highly recommended for families who want to avoid crowds and cherish their time in nature!

Please note that the meeting point for this tour is Uehara Port. In December, due to strong winds, ferries to Uehara Port may be canceled, and in such cases, you will need to take a local bus for about an hour to reach Uehara Port after arriving at Ohara Port. You will need to use the ferry departing from Ishigaki Port at 7:30 AM, so for those who are not early risers or are traveling with small children, an overnight stay on Iriomote Island is recommended!

12月の八重山諸島は観光客が比較的少なく、混雑を避けてゆったりと過ごせる穴場シーズン！12月上旬は気温も比較的高く、半袖に薄手の羽織ものを1枚用意する程度でちょうど良い日が多いため、冬でも快適に過ごせます！

夏の観光シーズンは観光客が集中し、石垣島から西表島へ向かうフェリーが満席となり、希望する便の予約が取れない場合や長時間の待ち時間が発生することもあります。その点、12月は移動や現地での行動に比較的余裕があり、家族旅行でも落ち着いて旅程を組みやすい時期かと思います！

西表島では、日本最大級のマングローブ林でカヤック体験を行いました！穏やかな川を進むコースのため、初心者の方やお子様連れの方にもおすすめです！12月は北風が強く吹く日もあり、その際は想像以上にカヤックを漕ぐ力が必要となる場合があります！体験中はライフジャケットを着用し、常に身体を動かしているため、寒さを感じることはほとんどありませんでした！天候や参加される方の体力に応じて、ガイドさんがサポートしてくれますので、安心して参加ができます！体力的にきつくなってしまい漕げなくなってしまった場合はガイドさんが牽引してくれるそうです！ちなみに今回はpipi西表島のパワー担当勝吾さんがガイドをしてくれてとても楽しいカヤックツアーになりました！

また、西表島は天候が変わりやすく、天気予報が当てにならない場合もあります！急な雨に備え、レインウェアなどの雨具の持参をおすすめします！多少の雨でも自然の雰囲気を楽しめるのが、西表島ならではの魅力かと思います！

カヤック体験後は、お昼休憩後、バスで移動して水牛車に乗って由布島へ！三線の音色を聞きながら海を渡る素敵な体験ができます！混雑を避け、自然と向き合う時間を大切にしたい家族におすすめの、冬ならではの西表島ツアーでした！

尚、こちらのツアーの集合場所は上原港です。12月は強風の影響で上原港行きフェリーが欠航となる場合があり、その際は大原港到着後、路線バスで約1時間移動して上原港へ向かいます。石垣港7:30発のフェリー利用が必要となるため、早起きが苦手な方や小さなお子様連れの方は、西表島での前泊をおすすめします！

A nature experience tour for families to enjoy. ご家族で楽しむ、大自然体験ツアー

Reviewed by: kao

This experience is enjoyable and safe for everyone, from elementary school students to adults, making it perfect for families!

On Iriomote Island, we had a kayaking experience around a river that features one of Japan's largest mangrove forests! The calm river flows gently through the mangroves, allowing even beginners to participate without difficulty. However, the river leading to the mangrove forest is open, so depending on the wind speed, it can be more physically demanding than expected. A guide accompanies you and provides easy-to-understand explanations about the mangrove ecosystem and its inhabitants, making it a great opportunity for nature learning!

After the kayaking experience in the morning, we took a lunch break before riding a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island! Crossing the sea while listening to the sound of the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan musical instrument) is a truly memorable experience! On the island, you can stroll through a subtropical botanical garden and leisurely enjoy the tropical flowers and nature.

This tour is perfect for family trips, allowing you to enjoy both "experience" and "relaxation" all at once!

小学生から大人の方まで、ご家族そろって安心して楽しめる内容です！
西表島では、日本最大級のマングローブ林が広がる川周辺でカヤック体験を行いました！マングローブ林の中は穏やかな流れの川をゆっくり進むため、初めての方でも無理なくご参加いただけますが、マングローブ林に行く途中にある川は遮るものがないため風速次第では想像以上に体力をつかいます…。ガイドさんが同行し、マングローブの仕組みや生き物について分かりやすく解説するため、自然学習の機会としてもいいと思います！

午前中にカヤック体験をした後は、各自でお昼休憩をとったあとに水牛車に乗って由布島へ！三線の音色を聞きながら海を渡る時間は、とっても思い出深い体験となります！島内では亜熱帯植物園を散策し、南国の花々や自然をゆったりと楽しめます！
「体験」と「癒し」を一度に味わえる、家族旅行に最適なツアーです！

I experienced mangrove kayaking and snorkeling in Ishigaki Island. While kayaking, I listened to the guide's thorough explanations as we navigated through the tranquil mangrove forest, surrounded by the sounds of nature, which was very soothing. I was able to observe plants and creatures that are not usually seen, feeling the unique charm of Ishigaki Island. During snorkeling, the clear sea was filled with colorful fish and coral, and it was a continuous series of breathtaking moments. There was support available to ensure even beginners could enjoy it safely, and they took photos for us, creating wonderful memories. I had a bit of trouble with water entering my nose, which made me anxious, so I held onto the guide's floating ring, but I still had a great time. This is an activity I highly recommend experiencing if you visit Ishigaki Island.

石垣島でマングローブカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験しました。カヤックでは、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら静かなマングローブ林を進み、自然の音に包まれてとても癒されました。普段なかなか見ることのできない植物や生き物も観察でき、石垣島ならではの魅力を感じられます。シュノーケリングでは、透明度の高い海に色とりどりの魚やサンゴが広がり、感動の連続でした。初心者でも安心して楽しめるようサポートがあり、写真も撮ってもらえて良い思い出になりました。私は鼻のところに水が浸入してきてしまうトラブルがあり不安だったので、ガイドさんの引っ張る浮き輪（？）につかまっていましたが、それでも充分に楽しめました。
石垣島を訪れるならぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです。

Mangrove Tour マングローブツアー

Reviewed by: yoko

Canoeing was my first experience, but it was more stable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy it without any anxiety. On the way to the mangrove forest, we faced a strong wind while crossing a large river, which made it a bit challenging to progress, but the view we reached was breathtaking. As we moved through the mangrove tunnel, I was able to enjoy a special scenery that can only be seen from a canoe, making it a very satisfying tour.

I rented a car at Ohara Port and consulted in advance about participating in the afternoon and being able to return on the last ferry. They confirmed it was fine, so I joined the tour, but I decided on my own to skip the shower before heading back. It was quite thrilling in various ways, but I had a lot of fun!

カヌーは初めての体験でしたが、思ったより安定感があり不安なく楽しむことができました。
マングローブの林を目指す途中、大きな川を渡る場面では風が強くてなかなか進まず少し苦戦しましたが、辿り着いた景色は圧巻でした。マングローブのトンネルを進み、カヌーからでしか見ることのできない特別な景色を楽しむことができてとても満足できるツアーでした。

大原港でレンタカーを借り、午後から参加して最終のフェリーで帰れるか事前に相談、大丈夫ということで参加しましたが、自己判断でシャワーを浴びずに帰ることにしました。
いろいろスリル満点となりましたが、楽しかったです！

First visit to Miyako Island 初の宮古島

Reviewed by: コパ

This was my first time in Miyako Island. We started with a canoe tour to the Pumpkin Cave. The meeting time was early, and the location was a bit hard to find, but it was great that the staff came out to assist us right away. The instructor was also a lot of fun. It took about ten minutes to walk from the parking lot to the canoe, and although the waves were a bit high and the weather wasn't great, we managed to paddle to the entrance. Inside, there was a large rock that looked like a pumpkin, where we took some photos and received explanations. After that, we climbed up the rock and ventured further inside. Despite various safety precautions, we were able to take our time to enjoy the sights and even splash around in the water. The highlight was diving from the top of the rock, which felt amazing. On the way back, the canoe ride felt quite fast due to the waves.

After some time, we headed to Higashi-Hennazaki and had lunch before going to the snorkeling spot. While snorkeling, we were able to see sea turtles right away and even spotted clownfish, taking lots of photos. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I was really happy to receive the photos later through social media, as these kinds of pictures are often sold at quite high prices.

初の宮古島でした。最初はパンプキン鍾乳洞までのカヌーツアー。集合時間も早く場所は少しわかりにくい箇所でした。係員の方がすぐに出てきてくれてよかったです。インストラクターも非常に楽しい方でした。駐車場から歩いて１０分でカヌーに乗り、若干波が高く天候もよくなかったですが、入り口まで漕げました。中に入るとパンプキンのような大きな岩があり説明と写真撮影、その後その岩を上って奥まで進みました。いろいろ注意事項があるもののゆっくり見ることができたり、水を浴びたりと楽しめました。最後は岩の上からのダイブ、気持ちよかったです。帰りのカヌーは波もあり結構早く着いた感じでした。　
しばらく時間が空いたので東平安名崎まで行ったり昼ごはんを食べてシュノーケルの場所まで行きました。シュノーケルはウミガメがすぐに見ることができたり、ニモを見たりしながら写真を撮ってもらいました。海がとてもきれいで満喫できました。
撮ってもらった写真は後でSNSを通じてもらうことができてとてもうれしいです。（こういうのは結構高額な価格で販売されることが多かったので）

Dear Staff,

Thanks to everyone's kind support, I was able to have a wonderful experience without any worries, and I really enjoyed it. I am grateful.

The on-site lectures were great, and the staff who assisted me over the phone were also very kind. Although my preferred course had to be changed to another activity due to weather conditions, I had a fun experience thanks to everyone's warm personalities. Thank you very much.

By the way, I noticed that on the page introducing the courses, there are titles and photos of experiences that are not actually part of the courses. This can be confusing when considering options, so I would appreciate it if you could look into this to make it easier to choose.

I wonder when I can visit the remote islands again. My excitement has increased! I would also like to participate in other activities.

スタッフ様 皆様の優しいご対応で
不安なく 良い体験ができ とても気に入ってしまいました。感謝です

現地でのレクチャーはもちろん、お電話で都度 ご対応くださいましたスタッフ様も お優しく 接して下さり
希望コースが天候の影響で 別のアクティビティに変更の案件となりましたが
皆様のお人柄で 楽しく体験させて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

ちなみに…
コースのご紹介 をされていらっしゃるページで、実際にコースに入っていない体験のタイトルや写真が採用されているものがあるので 検討の際 わかりにくいので ご検討頂けますと選びやすいとかんじました。

また離島にいつ来れるかな
楽しみが増えました
他のアクティビティも参加してみたいです。

It was a windy day, but I was guided on a special course that suited the conditions, and I had a great time. The guide also provided a thorough explanation about the mangroves, allowing me to truly experience the unique nature of Iriomote Island. I felt reassured by their flexibility in responding to the weather, and I'm really glad I participated.

風が強い日でしたが、状況に合わせて特別なコースを案内していただき、とても楽しめました。
ガイドさんがマングローブについても丁寧に説明してくださり、西表島ならではの自然をしっかり感じることができました。
天候に柔軟に対応してもらえて安心感もあり、参加して本当によかったです。

During the phone confirmation the day before, I was told that due to bad weather, we wouldn't be able to go to the Blue Cave and would instead be snorkeling at a different location. I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, but I decided to switch my mindset and enjoy my first snorkeling experience at the age of 50. My friend also had their first snorkeling experience at 50 and couldn't swim! However, they managed to participate until the end by holding onto a float. It was my first time too, but I was able to swim and see a lot of fish. We even encountered a sea turtle, and I had a great time creating wonderful memories. I believe this was all thanks to our guide. Thank you very much!

前日の電話確認で、明日は青の洞窟へは天候不良な為行けませんと言われ別の場所でのシュノーケリングすることになりました。
青の洞窟には行きたかったですが、
せっかくなので、気持ちを切り替えて、50歳にして初のシュノーケリングを堪能してきました。
友達も50歳で初のシュノーケリングで泳げない！！でもフロートにつかまって最後まで参加出来ました。
私も初めてでしたが泳いでたくさんのお魚たちを見ることができました。
ウミガメさんにも遭遇し楽しく時間を過ごすことができ良い思い出作りができました。
これもガイドさんのおかげだと思っています。ありがとうございました。

ウミガメシュノーケリングツアー 遭遇率の高さは世界有数！選べるビーチSUPorカヌー付き半日または1日プランも！＜写真無料／宮古島＞

Miyako Island in December is very beautiful!! 12月の宮古島はとてもキレイ！！

Reviewed by: こんちゃん

This time, I invited a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time to join me in Miyako Island. 😃

First of all, the winter sea was incredibly beautiful! I’ll include comments from my friend who participated with me.

It was my first time snorkeling in Miyako Island. Since it was December, I was worried about the cold, but the water was actually warmer than expected. The sea was so clear that you could see for miles. Following Yume-chan, I started swimming and immediately encountered a sea turtle! Its leisurely swimming was adorable and truly moving. I had a bit of trouble taking photos because the turtle was so focused on the seaweed, but I was dedicated to capturing underwater shots, considering the lighting to take beautiful pictures. ✨

As we swam through the coral reefs, we moved slowly, and it was amazing to see various fish swimming right next to us! The instructor provided detailed guidance, which made me feel safe while swimming, and the explanations about the fish were interesting. I got to swim a lot, took pictures with cute clownfish, and was very satisfied. After finishing, they prepared warm water for us, leaving us with warm feelings both physically and emotionally.

In the afternoon, we moved to a different location for a SUP tour. My friend was new to SUP, but the instructor, Gen-chan with the beard, gave clear explanations, and my friend was able to stand on the board right away. We even lay down on the board, and it felt so pleasant with the wind blowing. When we passed through the rocks, it was exciting. We enjoyed SUP almost exclusively in a cove. Fish were swimming below the board, and I was once again amazed by the clarity of the water that allowed us to see them from above. We had a great time, took lots of pictures, and created wonderful memories!

今回、沖縄自体が初めての友達を宮古島に誘い出し参加させてもらいました😃
まず、冬の海の中はとてもキレイでした！今回、一緒に参加した友達からのコメントも含めて書かせていただきます。

宮古島でのシュノーケリングは初めてでした。
12月ということで、寒さなど心配でしたが海の中のほうが暖かいくらいでした。
海はとっても綺麗で、どこまでも見える透明度。
ゆめちゃんに続いて、泳ぎだすと直ぐにウミガメとご対面！
ゆったり泳ぐ姿は可愛くて感動しました。写真撮影は、海藻に夢中のうみがめさんにちょっぴり苦労しました笑
けど、水中での写真撮影にこだわりをもってて、光の加減も考えてキレイな写真を撮っていただきました✨
サンゴ礁を泳ぎながらゆっくり移動。手の届くような身体のそばをいろんな魚が泳いで行くのは感動です!
インストラクターさんが細かく声かけしてくれるので安心して泳げますし、魚の解説も面白かったです。
たくさん泳げましたし、可愛いクマノミとも写真が撮れ、大満足でした。
終了後もお湯を準備してもらい、心も体も温かい気持ちで終えられました。

午後は場所を移動してのSUPツアー。
友達はSUPは初めてでしたが、イントラの髭男げんちゃんの説明がわかりやすく、ボードの上に直ぐ立つことが出来てました。
ボードの上に寝転んでもみましが、風に吹かれてとても心地よく、岩の間を潜り抜けたときは、わくわくしました。
入江をほぼ貸切でSUPを楽しむことができました。
ボード下を魚が泳いでおり、それが上から見える透明度の高さに再び感動です。
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらい、良い思い出になりました！！

パンプキン鍾乳洞＆シーカヤック＋選べるアクティビティで宮古島の海を満喫しよう！＜1日／宮古島＞ by宮古島 ADVENTURE PiPi

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした！

Reviewed by: みー

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave, sea kayaking, beach SUP, and sea turtle snorkeling.

During the SUP, the instructors patiently taught us beginners how to hold the paddle and tips on how to paddle, which helped us enjoy SUP even as first-timers.

In snorkeling, they smoothly guided us to points where we could see sea turtles, coral, and clownfish, and I was amazed to see countless creatures.

Unfortunately, due to sudden bad weather, we couldn't experience the Pumpkin Cave and sea kayaking, but I’m glad I joined the tour as the bright and kind staff took many wonderful photos for us. Thank you very much!

パンプキン鍾乳洞＆シーカヤック＋ビーチSUP＆ウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました。
SUPでは初心者の私たちに1から丁寧にパドルの持ち方や漕ぎ方などのコツを教えて下さり、初めてでもSUPを楽しめるようにサポートして下さり助かりました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメやサンゴ、カクレクマノミのポイントをスムーズに案内して下さり、数え切れないほどたくさんの生き物を見れて感動しました。
急遽、天候不良でパンプキン洞窟とシーカヤックの体験ができなくなり残念でしたが、明るく優しいスタッフの方々に素敵な写真をたくさん撮って下さりツアーに参加して良かったです。ありがとうございました。

パンプキン鍾乳洞探検ツアー カヌーでアクセス！海からしか入れない神秘の洞窟＜半日／宮古島＞ by宮古島 ADVENTURE PiPi

It was an experience where I could feel something precious! 大切なものを感じられる体験でした！

Reviewed by: かんきち

In early December, I participated in this tour for the first time during my fifth visit to Miyako Island. The weather was clear, and our guide was the dandy bearded man, Gen-chan. On the way to the coast, I listened with great interest to fascinating tidbits about the origin of the Pumpkin Cave and the plants blooming along the path.

We paddled canoes from the coast toward the entrance of the cave, which was also a fun time. The area around the entrance had a very solemn atmosphere, and all participants prayed together before heading into the cave!

This location is one of the three major power spots in Miyako Island. Inside, it was a very mystical space that was truly moving. Gen-chan provided detailed explanations about the cave, and as a Japanese person, I felt a strong sense of responsibility to protect this place.

I heard that it is set to be registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the near future. If that happens, it seems this tour will no longer be held. I highly recommend experiencing this before that happens!

12月前半、今回5回目の宮古島にして初めてこのツアーに参加しました。
天候は快晴、担当のダンディ髭男・ゲンちゃん。海岸までの道中はパンプキン鍾乳洞の由来や道に咲く植物の豆知識を興味深く聞きました。
海岸からカヌーを漕いで鍾乳洞の入口に向かいますがこれも楽しい時間でした。
入口周辺はとても厳かな雰囲気な場所で、参加者全員でお参りをしていざ鍾乳洞へ！
宮古島三大パワースポットの一つであるこの場所。中はとても神秘的な空間で感動的でした。
鍾乳洞のなかでもゲンちゃんより詳しい説明があり、日本人の一人としてこの場所をしっかりと守らなければという気持ちになりました。
近い将来、世界文化遺産に登録が決まっているとのこと。そうなるとこのツアーは開催されなくなるようです。
是非、その前にこの体験をしてみてください。

Mangrove canoeing and sightseeing at Yufu Island. マングローブカヌーと由布島観光

Reviewed by: やっぱり旅行好き

I had originally signed up for snorkeling, but due to weather reasons, it was changed to canoeing the day before. I participated with a sense of resignation, but in the end, I had a wonderful first-time experience. On the day of the activity, we had calm, sunny weather and high tide, which were great conditions. There were only four of us, so we had two canoes and were able to leisurely enjoy the mangrove forest. Riding the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was great, and the island had many interesting sights to see. Our guide also pointed out things like the Ryukyu wild boar and the crested serpent eagle along the way, and shared stories about life on the island, making the travel time very meaningful.

シュノーケル希望で申し込んでいた所、天候理由で前日にカヌーに変更になりました。仕方ないか〜の気持ちで参加したのですが、結果、初めての体験が出来てとても楽しめました。当日は無風の晴天、さらに満潮という好条件で、人数も4人で2艇、ゆっくりとマングローブの森を満喫できました。由布島も水牛車に乗ることももちろん、島内も見どころがあって良かったです。ガイドさんも道中に琉球いのししやカンムリワシなどを見つけて教えてくれたり、島での生活のことを話してくれたりして、移動時間も有意義に過ごせました。

I had an amazing time even in winter! 冬でも最高に楽しめました〜！

Reviewed by: ササキチ

I thought it might be cold with a temperature of around 25°C, but when the sun was out, it felt warm, and while paddling on the SUP, it was actually quite hot! I was able to swim just fine while wearing a wetsuit for snorkeling! The guide was always attentive to our well-being, which made it easy to enjoy ourselves. 🤙 The sea and river weren't crowded at all, so we could move around freely and leisurely. I think coming here in winter could be a great option!

気温は25℃くらいで寒いかなと思いましたが、太陽が出ていると暖かく、SUPは漕いでいるとむしろ暑いくらいでした！シュノーケリングもウェットスーツを着用したら全然泳げました！
ガイドさんが常に体調を気にかけてくださるので安心して楽しめました🤙
海も川も混雑しておらず、のんびり自由に動けるので、あえて冬に来るのもありかなと思います。
