All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I participated in my first trip to Iriomote Island. When I arrived at the port, the guide welcomed us. The guide was a handsome young man, and he was knowledgeable about the history and nature of Iriomote Island, sharing many interesting stories. The activities were almost a first-time challenge for me, but he provided thorough instructions, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself. I became captivated by Iriomote Island, and I will definitely come back to visit again. Thank you very much.

初めての西表島旅行で参加しました。
港に着くとガイドさんが出迎えてくれます。
ガイドさんはイケメン青年で、西表島の歴史や自然についても詳しく、興味深い話が沢山聞けました。
アクティビティというものもほぼ人生初の挑戦でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーをしてくれるので安心して楽しめました。
西表島の虜になりましたので、また必ず遊びに来ます。
ありがとうございました。

So many different kinds of fish come to visit! When you feed them, they even poke at your hand as if to say "I want more," which is adorable! The staff members are really nice and kind, so thank you for a very enjoyable time and experience! I think there are also different ways to enjoy it underwater.

本当にいろいろな魚たちが来てくれます！
餌付けをすると(まだ欲しいと？)手を突いてくるし、可愛いですよ ♪
スタッフさんもすごくいい人達で親切なので、とても楽しい時間と経験をさせて頂きありがとうございました！
海の中でも少し違った楽しみ方ができると思います。

I signed up because I wanted to experience Kerama Blue. After quite a journey by boat from the main island, I arrived at the Kerama Sea, which was truly a transparent blue! I was worried whether it would actually take place since it was before Golden Week, but I was able to experience it!

慶良間ブルーを体験したくて申し込みしました。
船で本島からかなり移動をして到着した慶良間海域は本当に透き通った青さでした！
GW前だからちゃんと催行されるか不安でしたが、体験できました～

Our guide, Shoma, was very helpful. I was late for the meeting time due to the bus schedule, but since there were no other customers, both Shoma and the staff at the store were very accommodating and didn't show any displeasure, which I really appreciated.

They helped me sit in the shade to change my shoes and kindly offered hair ties and towels. Each thoughtful gesture was a great help. The explanations on how to snorkel, as well as information about the fish and locations, were always polite and easy to understand.

The weather was nice, and I was able to see many fish in the beautiful sea, which was very soothing. The photos taken with the GoPro were of high quality and very beautiful. I couldn't attach the photos due to size limitations, so I attached a picture of the view from the hill, starting from a spot with many people in it.

It seems that the color of the Blue Cave changes depending on the time of day, so I would like to visit in the morning next time. I would definitely like to use this service again. Thank you very much!

しょうまさんというガイドさんが案内してくださいました。
バスの関係で集合時刻に遅れてしまったのですが、他のお客様がいらっしゃらなかったこともあり、しょうまさんもお店のスタッフの方も、嫌な顔ひとつせず快く対応してくださりありがたかったです。
日陰に腰掛けて靴を履き替えるようにしてくださったり、ヘアゴムやタオルも声をかけて貸してくださったり、一つ一つのお気遣いがとても助かりました。
シュノーケリングのやり方の説明やお魚や場所の説明なども、終始丁寧で分かりやすかったです。
天気が良くて、綺麗な海でたくさんのお魚を見て、とても癒されました。
撮っていただいた写真はGoProのもので、画質が良くとても綺麗でした。
写真の容量的に添付できなかったので、丘の上からの景色を添付しました。人がたくさん写っているところからスタートでした。
時間帯によって青の洞窟の色の変化があるみたいなので、次は午前中にも行ってみたいなと思いました。
また利用したいです。本当にありがとうございました。

I had a great time being able to see the Blue Cave. Even for those who can't swim, an instructor will accompany you, so there's no need to worry. I think it was a wonderful experience.

青の洞窟を見れることができて楽しかったです。
泳げない人でもインストラクターが一緒に付いてくれるので、心配ありません。
良い経験になったと思います。

I participated with my 6-year-old child, and the staff were very supportive and kind. At first, my child was scared, but in the end, we had a lot of fun and finished with smiles. Thank you very much.

6歳の子供との参加でしたが、優しくサポートしてくださり、乗る前は怖がっておりましたが、最後はとても楽しく笑顔で終われました。
ありがとうございました。

First and foremost, I want to emphasize the importance of being cautious about seasickness. Even those who usually don't get seasick should take motion sickness medication before boarding the boat. I was informed by the guide that there are customers who have to return without experiencing the tour due to seasickness, which is a real shame, so please be careful.

Now, let me report on the experience. I participated in the tour in mid-April, and the weather looked questionable even before the start of the experience. The staff was concerned about this and responded flexibly by speeding up preparations.

First, we moved through the mangrove forest by canoe, but it was raining quite heavily at that time. After confirming whether we should continue, we began our canoe journey. Thanks to the cold weather measures taken, we were able to move without feeling particularly cold. During the trekking afterward, we chatted and I was able to ask various questions.

Additionally, instead of going to the base of the waterfall first and then to the top as originally planned, we decided to go from the top due to the possibility of high water preventing us from accessing the top later. Because of this, we were able to see the view from the top of the waterfall and enjoy the sight of the waterfall below! Furthermore, when we went to the base of the waterfall, we were able to see an incredibly powerful waterfall, unlike anything I had seen before, thanks to the rain. It was so powerful that it was hard to breathe when we were close to it.

Afterward, since the ferry from Uehara Port to Ishigaki Island was canceled, we were taken to Ohara Port. Moreover, since we were relatively quick during our trekking, we had extra time, and we were taken to the Wildlife Conservation Center, making good use of the time until our departure from Ohara Port. Finally, we were guided to the ticket area, and we received very attentive guidance throughout the experience.

1番初めに伝えたいのは、船酔いには気をつけて頂き、
普段酔わない人も、酔い止めは飲んでから
船に乗って下さい。
ガイドさんに教えて頂いたのですが、
船酔いのせいで体験できずに帰られるお客さんも
いるとのことでしたので、それは非常にもったいないので、気を付けてください。

体験について報告致します。
体験は4月の中旬に行ったのですが、
その日は体験開始前から天気が怪しかったので、
その点を担当の方が心配して下さり、
準備の迅速化など臨機応変に対応して下さりました。
まずはカヌーでのマングローブ林移動なのですが、
その時には結構な雨が降っており、こちらに続行するかの確認後、
カヌーでの移動を開始しました。
その際に、寒さ対策をして頂いたおかげで、
特に凍える事なく移動する事が出来ました。
移動後のトレッキング時にも雑談をしてくれて色々聞くことが出来ました。
また、本来なら滝壺に行ってから滝上の予定のところ、
増水して滝上にいけなくなる可能性を考慮して、
臨時で滝上から行く事となりました。
そのおかげで、無事滝上からの景色を見る事が出来、
滝下を眺めることが出来ました！
さらには滝壺に行った際にも、雨のおかげで今まで見たこと無いくらい大迫力の滝を見る事が出来ました。
近くにいると息がし難いぐらいの大迫力でした。

その後、上原港から石垣島へ帰る便が欠便したので、大原港まで送迎して頂けました。
さらに、自分達のトレッキング時のスピードが比較的早かったので、体験時間が余っており、
臨時で野生生物保護センターに連れてって頂き、
大原港からの出航便までの時間を有意義に過ごす事が出来ました。
最後はチケット場所まで案内して頂き、
非常に丁寧なガイドをして頂けました。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time. In the morning, the weather was bad, and it was disappointing that snorkeling was canceled, but canyoning was really fun. In the afternoon, the mangrove canoeing was nice as the weather cleared up, and it felt great. The staff at pipi taught me a lot about the island's charm and the fun of the activities, and I had a wonderful time in a warm atmosphere.

初めて西表島に行きました。
朝は天気が悪くて、シュノーケルが中止になってしまったのは悲しかったけど、キャニオニングもとっても楽しかったです。午後のマングローブカヌーでは晴れてきてとても気持ちよかったです。pipiの方が島の良さやアクティビティの楽しさをたくさん教えてくれて、温かい雰囲気の中、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I used this service on the last day of my stay in Ishigaki Island. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but they provided a lecture on land, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The sea was incredibly clear, and when the sunlight shone through, it was beautiful no matter where I looked.

I had requested a shuttle, but since I had already checked out of the hotel, they took me to a shower room near the bus terminal. As a result, I was able to board my evening flight feeling refreshed. I was so happy to enjoy the sea until the very last day. Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

石垣島滞在の最終日に利用しました。
私はSUP初体験だったのですが、陸でレクチャーもしてくださるので、安心して体験することができました。
海は言わずもがな透明度が高く、光が差した時はどこをみてもとても綺麗でした。

送迎をお願いしていたのですが、ホテルはすでにチェックアウトしていたため、バスターミナル近くのシャワー室に送ってくださりました。
そのため、スッキリした状態で夕方の便に乗れました。
最終日まで海を堪能できて嬉しかったです。
お写真もたくさんありがとうございました！

I participated in the mangrove (kayak) and water buffalo cart experience on Yubu Island. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time kayaking, but just paddling felt great and was the best. In the mangroves, I was able to experience the real thing while listening to various explanations, which was very moving. I also got to take many great photos, making for wonderful memories.

On Yubu Island, I was able to touch the strength, intelligence, and size of the water buffalo, and I learned about how they are cared for and their way of life, which was a fantastic experience. The gelato I had at a shop on the island was incredibly delicious.

Not only was the content great, but they also took time for changing clothes and showering, and the tour was perfectly paced for the participants' time and energy, leaving me very satisfied. The guides were all very kind, provided excellent explanations, and were very pleasant and helpful. Thank you very much.

マングローブ(カヤック)＋由布島水牛車体験に参加しました。
初めてのカヤックで少し不安はありましたが、漕いでるだけでも気持ちよく最高でした。
マングローブでは実物を体感しながらさまざまな説明を聞くことができ、感激しました。
良い写真もたくさん撮っていただいて良い記念です。
由布島では水牛の力強さと賢さ、大きさに触れ、大切にされている様子や暮らし方を教えていただきとても良い体験でした。
島のお店で食べたジェラートは美味しすぎました。
内容はもちろん、途中で着替えやシャワーの時間を取ってくださったり、参加者に無理のない時間・体力配分のツアーで大満足です。
ガイドの皆さんが総じて親切で、説明も上手ですしとても感じがよく親切にしていただきました。
ありがとうございました。

I wanted to try various adventure activities in Okinawa, but it was difficult with children and elderly companions. In such cases, kayaking is perfect; we enjoyed it as a three-generation family. The guide explained various things about the mangroves and local ecology in a way that was easy for the kids to understand. It’s challenging to take photos while kayaking, but the guide took some for us. We had a relaxing time. Thank you very much!

沖縄のアドベンチャー系色々やりたいけど、子供やお年寄りと同行で難しい。そんな時にカヤックはパーフェクト、3世代で楽しめました。マングローブや地元の生態について、子供でも分かりやすく色々説明もしてくれました。カヤックしながら写真を撮るのは難しいですが、ガイドの方が撮ってくれます。リラックスした時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました

We signed up for a canoe and Yufushima tour as a couple. It was our first time canoeing, but we were able to go and come back safely. It was great to fully experience the island's magnificent nature!

夫婦でカヌー&由布島ツアー申し込みました。
カヌーは初めてでしたがちゃんと行って帰ってこれました。島の雄大な自然を全身で感じられて良かったです！

The Blue Cave is amazing!
The canoeing was tough.
I will definitely come again. Please remember that.
The tent keeps talking about Macchan all the time.

青の洞窟最高！
カヌーはしんどかったです。
又必ず来ます。覚えておいてくださいね
テントはずっとまっちゃんのことばかり話しています

I'm glad I was able to see stars that are usually not visible.
Paddling through the dark mangroves in a canoe, I was able to experience a magical world, and it was great to see the bioluminescent plankton as well.
Additionally, the guide's explanations were clear and thorough, which I highly recommend.

普段見られない星が、見られて良かったです。
暗闇のマングローブを､カヌーで進み、幻想的な世界、夜光虫も見られ良かったです。
また、ガイドさんの説明が、分かりやすく丁寧でおすすめです。

It was a safe and enjoyable tour! Although the weather was bad, we were able to change to a different location, and I was happy to see sea turtles and have fun snorkeling! If I go to Okinawa again, I would love to join the tour again! I recommend bringing beach sandals for those who participate!

安心で楽しいツアーでした！天候が悪かったのですが、違う場所に変更していただけて、ウミガメも見れて楽しくシュノーケリングする事ができたのでよかったです♪沖縄に行く事があればまたツアーに参加したいです！参加する方にはビーチサンダルを持っていく事をお勧めします！

I had a nearly one-on-one guided experience, and I was introduced to a wide range of knowledge, which provided insights beyond just a regular tour, making it very interesting. Additionally, it was amusing to see the guide managing to navigate through the challenges posed by international visitors. I had a great experience with a guide who became increasingly personable. Thank you very much.

ほぼマンツーマンでのガイドとなり、大変幅広い知識をご紹介いただき、普通に見て回る以上の気づきを得られておもしろかったです。
加えて、海外の方々に翻弄されつつもなんとかガイドをなさっていた姿も面白かったです。
どんどん人間味が増してゆくガイドの方に良い経験をさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。

The phantom island was even more beautiful than the heavenly sea of Oahu! The crystal-clear water and white sandy beaches provided an incredible experience that felt otherworldly. The only downside was that we were supposed to go snorkeling first, but due to the beauty of the sea, we went to the phantom island first and ended up taking pictures in our wetsuits.

Snorkeling was also a lot of fun, as we got to see various colorful tropical fish. I wish we had a bit more free time.

幻の島は、オアフ島の天国の海より綺麗でした！透き通った海、白い砂浜、この世の物とは思えない最高の体験でした。ちょっと残念だったのは、先にシュノーケリングと言っていたのに、海の綺麗さの関係で先に幻の島になり、ウェットスーツ姿で写真を撮ることになったことです。。
シュノーケリングも色々なカラフルなトロピカルフィッシュを見ることができて、とても楽しかったです。自由時間がもう少しあるとよかったです。

On April 4th, the weather was clear, with a forecasted high of 30 degrees.

One of the highlights is that the Windmill Tour departs early in the morning, allowing you to be the first to enjoy the canoeing and the top of the waterfall, providing a peaceful and relaxing experience. It truly feels like you have the place to yourself!

We participated as a family of four, with two daughters in upper elementary school and my husband and I in our forties. There were many challenging spots, including climbing cliffs, which made us a bit worried, but thanks to our guide Hoshi and the new guide Ogura, we had a fun time hiking. We talked a lot, and it felt like we arrived before we knew it. The kids, who usually dislike bugs, showed interest and even touched a lizard, which was full of surprises.

I think many people participate in the waterfall basin tour, but the breathtaking view and sense of accomplishment from the top of the waterfall are beyond words. If you're hesitating, I highly encourage you to give it a try!

As for me, an adult who lacks exercise, I was sore all over the next day! I recommend a relaxed plan for the day after the tour.

4月4日天気晴れ、最高気温は30度予想でした。

オススメポイントは、風車さんのツアーは早朝出発なので、カヌーも滝上にも一番乗りでき静かなのんびりした時間を過ごすことができることです。独り占め感がすごい！

小学校高学年の娘二人とアラフォー夫婦4人で参加しました。難所も多く、崖登り等心配もありましたが、ガイドのほしさんと新人ガイドのおぐらさんのおかげで楽しく山登りをできました。たくさんお話できて、いつの間に到着している感じでした。
子どもも普段は嫌がる虫に興味を持ったり、トカゲに触ってみたりと驚きの連続でした。


滝つぼツアーに参加される方は多いと思いますが、滝上からの絶景と達成感は言葉で伝えることができないほど素晴らしいです。迷ってみえる方はぜひチャレンジしてください！

運動不足の大人（私）は翌日全身筋肉痛です！ツアー翌日はゆるめプランをおすすめします。

Positive points:
- They stayed with my mother, who was struggling.
- The equipment was comfortable and good.
- The explanations were well done.
- I didn't know there would be three dives, but for an additional 5,500 yen, they took us to Tokashiki Island.
- They took us to good dive spots.

Negative points:
- I thought there would be a shop; it was my first time on a direct boat.
- My mother was diving for the first time, and I wasn't sure if she could do it, but we couldn't choose how many dives each person would do.
- Once it was clear she couldn't dive, I wanted her to be allowed to join the snorkeling group.
- My mother's payment for one dive was wasted, and I couldn't use it for my three dives.
- The return boat was too fast, and a basket full of equipment moved, pinching my legs between the bench and the basket, causing an injury.
- I shouted that it hurt, and even though someone must have seen it, no one helped.
- At that time, there was a mark, and later it swelled.

良かった点は
・うまくできない母にずっと付いててくれた。
・装備が楽で良かった。
・説明が上手だった。
・3ダイブあるとは聞いていなかったがオプション　5500円プラスで渡嘉敷島にも行ってくれた。
・良いポイントに連れてってくれた。
悪かった点は
・ショップがあると思っていた。直接ボートは初めて。
・母がダイビング初めてでできるか分からなかったけど1人ずつ何回ダイブするか選べなかった。
・できないってわかったらシュノーケル組に参加させて欲しかった。
・母の1ダイブ分のお金が無駄になったけど、私の3DIVEめ分に利用できなかった。
・帰りのボートが速すぎていっぱい機材が入っているカゴが動いて座ってたベンチと足が挟まれて怪我をした。
・痛いって叫んだし、絶対見てたはずなのに誰も見てみぬふりされた。
・その時は痕が付き、その後腫れた。

I happened to book the 3:00 PM slot when the tide was low. I could see the mangrove roots clearly, and the guide, Mr. Kinoshita, provided enjoyable explanations! I definitely plan to recommend this to my friends! Thank you!

偶然、潮が引いていた15:00を予約しました。マングローブの根っこもしっかり見えて、ガイドの木下さんの説明もたのしい！ぜひお友達にも紹介しようと思います！ありがとうございました！

I participated in a snorkeling tour in Ishigaki Island as it was. The weather was a bit questionable, but it held up enough for us to see some sunshine.

At Hamajima, the calm inner sea allowed the children to play by collecting shells and coral, and we were able to take photos.

At the snorkeling spot, the kids were a bit anxious since it was their first time in the ocean, but thanks to the instructor, both the 5-year-old and the 10-year-old were able to enjoy themselves, creating wonderful memories.

It seems that for the children, this became their most enjoyable memory from Ishigaki Island.

石垣島についてそのままシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。天気が怪しかったのですが、晴れ間が見えるくらい天気がもってくれました。
浜島では、とても穏やかな内海で子供たちが貝殻や珊瑚を拾って遊べたり、写真を撮ることが出来ました。
シュノーケリングスポットでは、子供たちが初めての海だったので不安でしたが、5歳の子も10歳の子もインストラクターさんのおかげでそれぞれ楽しめてとてもいい思い出になりました。
子供達にとって、石垣島での1番楽しかった思い出になったようです。

Snorkeling at Shinjo Coast. I thought the seawater would be murky due to the rain on the day, but the visibility was perfect, and I was able to take many photos with sea turtles. It was my first time getting so close to sea turtles for a photo, and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you to the staff for their kind assistance.

新城海岸でのシュノーケリング。
当日は雨で海水も濁ってるんだろうなと思っていたところ透明度バッチリでウミガメとも写真が沢山撮れました。こんなに間近でウミガメと撮影したのは初めてで良い体験させて頂きました。スタッフの方々にも優しく対応して頂きありがとうございました。

The staff at the reception and on-site were very friendly, and I had a great time. They shared a lot of stories, from explanations about mangroves and banyan trees to discussions about various creatures, which was very enjoyable! I appreciated that they took into account the approaching time of my return flight, which was very helpful. I highly recommend it!

受付から現地でのスタッフみなさんがとてもフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。
マングローブやガジュマルの木の説明から生き物のお話しまで、たくさんの話しを聞かせてくれてとても楽しかったです！
帰りの飛行機の時間が迫ってたので、それも考慮していただきとても助かりました。
おすすめです！！

It was amazing, amazing, amazing.
The view from above the waterfall was breathtaking!
The coral reef and the view of Hatoma Island in the distance were stunning.
On the way, we paddled a canoe while enjoying the great nature of Iriomote Island and the mangroves, followed by a hike of just under an hour, which was fun as we observed the island's flora and fauna.
Also, the Yaeyama soba at the top of the waterfall was very delicious.
After that, we descended to the base of the waterfall, and swimming in the pool was a valuable experience for the children.
The guide was also very thorough in their explanations, thank you very much.

It's rare to find a waterfall on a remote island, so I would love to visit again.

最高､最高､最高でした。
滝の上からの景気は絶景‼️
サンゴ礁の、島の先に鳩間島、絶景でした。
道中、西表島の大自然、マングローブを見ながらカヌーで上り、そこから一時間弱の山登り、島の動植物を見ながら楽しかったです。
また、滝の上での八重山そば、とても美味しかったです。
その後下山し滝壺へ、滝壺での遊泳は、子供には貴重な体験となりました。
ガイドの方も、とても丁寧に説明を頂き、ありがとうございました。

離島に滝､なかなか無いので、また訪ねたいです。

They seemed happy to give instructions to the dolphins. Although the time spent swimming together was short, they were very satisfied. It was also nice that they offered free towel rentals and that we could shower and return home clean.

イルカに指示を出したりでき嬉しそうでした
一緒に泳げる時間は少しですが、充分満足していました。無料でタオル貸し出しがあったり、シャワーして綺麗な身体で帰れるのも良かったです。

I was a beginner, but I had a great time. The guide's explanations were detailed, polite, and easy to understand. Thank you very much.

I'm looking forward to the photos you took.

Kasatani

初心者でしたが、楽しめました
ガイドの方の説明も細かく丁寧でわかりやすかったです
ありがとうございました

撮っていただいた写真、楽しみにしています

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy...
Still, the phantom island was beautiful, and I couldn't help but wonder how it would have looked if it were sunny. I immediately expressed my desire to go snorkeling. Since there were no other guests besides our group, we quickly headed to the snorkeling point.
Even though it was cloudy, the visibility was very good, and I felt relaxed for over an hour. I heard that the water is quite clear during this season.
It was a spot near the site of a shipwreck being dismantled.
Thank you to all the staff for your flexible support.

生憎天気はくもり。。。
それでも幻の島は綺麗でしたが、晴れてたらどんなだったろうと思いながらもすぐにでもシュノーケルがしたいと申し入れ。
私らグループ以外他のお客さんがいなかったこともあり、早々にシュノーケルポイントへ
曇っていても透明度含めとてもよく１時間以上ずっと癒されていました。
この時期は海の中もあまり濁らずきれいなんだそう
座礁船の解体現場のそばのポイントでした。
スタッフの皆様、フレキシブルな対応ありがとうございました。

The captain and all the staff were really kind. We saw cute and beautiful fish and jellyfish in the sea. During snorkeling, they took us to a cave-like area, and it was a lot of fun. My middle school son got seasick, but we were able to dive, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

船長、スタッフ皆さん本当に優しい。
海では可愛くて綺麗な魚やクラゲが見られました。シュノーケリングでは、洞窟のようなところにも連れて行ってくれて、とても楽しかったです。中学生の息子が船酔いしてしまったけれど、ダイビングも出来て素晴らしい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I communicated that I was not good at swimming when making the reservation, and the day before, the activity was canceled due to high waves. On the day itself, while it was possible to go in, there were still waves, so when they picked us up, they also suggested other locations and let us choose where to go before departure.

We chose the Blue Cave as planned. It was my first time snorkeling, and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but they taught us patiently. Our session started at 11 AM, but there were a lot of people inside the cave. It seems that everyone takes their time having breakfast before departing, which makes it a busy time. They actually recommend an earlier time.

After receiving a lecture, we were pulled to the cave while holding onto a float, and before we knew it, we arrived at the cave while enjoying the underwater view. After taking many pictures inside the cave, we returned on our own without using the float, and it felt like it was over in an instant.

We were able to feed the fish, but it seems that it might be banned soon from the perspective of SDGs... what a shame. If you're considering participating, it's better to go early before it gets banned.

I was worried after reading other reviews about changing in the parking lot and the lack of showers, but there were changing rooms, coin lockers, and showers (200 yen for 140 seconds or 1 minute and 40 seconds, depending on the location). I wore my swimsuit under my clothes on the way there and changed into a wetsuit in the parking lot, but on the way back, I took a shower and changed in the changing room.

I requested a pickup, and the driver was friendly, sharing enjoyable stories along the way. On the way back, they mentioned that we could be dropped off at a place we wanted to go instead of just the hotel, so I communicated that I didn’t have a specific destination but wanted to go somewhere accessible by bus, and they recommended a shop where we were dropped off in Chatan.

According to the schedule, we were supposed to arrive at the hotel by 2 PM, so I was worried about getting hungry, but I was relieved to eat earlier.

予約時に泳ぎが苦手なのを伝えており、前日は波が高くて中止になっており当日も入れなくはないけど波があるということで迎えに来ていただいた時点で他の場所の提案もしてくださり出発前にどちらに行くか選ばせていただけました
予定通り青の洞窟を選びシュノーケリングは初めてで泳ぎも自信がなかったのですが丁寧に教えてくださいました
参加は11時からの回でしたが洞窟内は人がたくさんいました
皆さんゆっくり朝食を食べて出発するので混雑する時間帯なんだそうです
本当はもっと早い時間がおすすめだそうです
レクチャーを受けてから洞窟までは浮き輪につかまって引っ張っていただいたので水中を眺めているうちに洞窟に着きました
洞窟内でたくさん写真を撮っていただいた後は浮き輪を使わずに自分たちで戻りましたがあっと言う間でした
お魚のエサやりをさせていただきましたがSDGsの観点から近々禁止になるかもしれないそうです…残念
参加迷っているなら禁止になる前に早いうちがいいです
他の方のレビューで駐車場で着替えた、シャワーなし等見ていたので心配していましたが更衣室、コインロッカー、シャワー（200円で140秒？か1分40秒？でした）がありました（場所によるのかもしれませんが）
行きは服の下に水着を着ていき駐車場でウェットスーツに着替えましたが帰りはシャワーを浴びて更衣室で着替えました
送迎をお願いしてホテルまで来ていただきましたが気さくな方で道中ずっと楽しいお話が聞けました
帰りはホテルまででなくても寄りたいところで降ろしてもらえるとのことで行きたいところは決まってないけどバスで帰れるところ等条件を伝えておすすめのお店を教えてもらい北谷で降ろしていただきました
予定通りだとホテル到着が14時だったのでお腹が空く心配をしていましたが早めに食べられて助かりました

Canyoning was a precious experience that you absolutely can't have in the city, and it was so much fun! We dove into the river, climbed, and slid, and the kids had a blast too! The guide was very cheerful and friendly, and seeing him jump into the river made the kids want to jump in as well! Also, during the journey to our destination, he taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, which was really enjoyable! I'm also grateful for the quick delivery of photos and videos!

We enjoyed a round trip to Yufu Island with a leisurely tour around the island, and we were healed by the beautiful shallow sea and butterflies in nature! The guide also shared many interesting things about Iriomote Island during this trip, which made it fun!

キャニオニング、都会では絶対できない貴重な体験、とても楽しかったです！川にダイブしたり、登ったり、滑ったり子供達も凄く楽しんでいました⭐︎ガイドの方も、凄くニコニコ気さくな方で、楽しそうに川に飛び込むので、子供達も続いて飛び込めたと思います！また、目的地までの道中も、西表島の色々なことを教えて下さりとても楽しかったです！写真や動画も、すぐに送って下さり感謝です⭐︎
水牛、由布島まで往復と島をぐるりと一周、遠浅で綺麗な海に蝶々と自然に癒されました！こちらも、ガイドさんが道中に、西表島の色々なことを教えて下さり楽しかったです！
