All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

Surrounded by mangroves, I was able to fully experience nature. The staff were very kind and friendly, which allowed me to enjoy myself to the fullest.

マングローブに囲まれて、自然を体全体で体感できました。スタッフの方もとても優しく、気さくな方なので、全力で楽しむことができました。

The wind was calm, and the instructor was fun and lively, which made it the best experience!

I definitely want to do it again when I come back!

風もしずかでインストラクターの方も楽しく盛り上げてくれて最高でした❗️


また来たら必ずやりたいですね！

We experienced this as a family. Despite the weather forecast predicting rain, it miraculously cleared up, and we were able to enjoy canoeing in a calm atmosphere. With guidance that is reassuring for beginners, we spent a luxurious time listening to interesting facts about mangroves and small animals. We were able to relax completely. There was also a shoe rental available, and we didn't get as wet as we expected. They took many photos and sent us the data, so we have beautiful pictures that we couldn't have taken ourselves, and we were very satisfied to have photos of the whole family. Next time, I would like to combine this with trekking for even more fun.

家族で体験しました。天気予報が雨だったなか奇跡的に晴れて穏やかな空気の中、楽しくカヌーが出来ました。初心者でも安心な指導付きで、マングローブや
小動物の豆知識を聞きながら過ごす贅沢な時間。心からゆっくり出来ました。シューズレンタルもあり、思ったほど濡れずにできました。
写真もたくさん撮影いただき、データを送ってくださったので自分では撮れなかったキレイな写真や家族全員が撮れて大満足。
次回は、トレッキングなどと組み合わせて楽しみたいです。

Due to the weather, we changed from the originally planned SUP at Kawahira Bay to mangrove SUP, but I was able to participate and have fun. During the drive to and from the location, we had enjoyable conversations about the scenery along the way and the history of the island, which were very interesting. It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me carefully, and I was able to maneuver it right away. Paddling while standing felt great, and the discussions about the mangroves and the flora and fauna of the stone walls on both sides of the river were enjoyable. Although it went by quickly, I had a wonderful time. Thank you for the lovely experience. I highly recommend it to anyone considering it!

天候の影響で当初の川平湾からマングローブでのSUPに変更になりましたが楽しく参加できました。
行き帰りの車の中でも道中の景色の話や島の歴史なども楽しくお話ししていただき、とても興味深かったです。
SUPも初めてでしたが丁寧に教えていただき、すぐに操ることが出来ました。立って漕ぐととても気持ち良くて、川の両岸のマングローブや石垣の動植物の話も楽しく、あっという間でしたが素晴らしい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。素敵な体験を心ありがとうございます。検討中の方もぜひぜひお勧めです！

The girl who was giving us information on the return ship was on the phone the whole time. Even though it was a great experience, seeing that kind of behavior dampened my enthusiasm.

帰りの船内で案内をしてくれた女の子が、ずっと誰かと電話をしていた。せっかくの良い体験もそういう姿を見ると冷めてしまった。

I participated with my sisters and their children, a total of 9 people. Our ages ranged from 4 to 50, and we were all beginners, but everyone was able to enjoy themselves. The guide was attentive to both the little ones and me, an older participant, encouraging everyone with cheerful words, which allowed us to participate with peace of mind and smiles throughout. Although it was February, the weather was nice that day, and we were able to comfortably enter the sea. The water was so beautiful that it made me want to shout, and I still feel enchanted when I remember it. The snorkeling was tailored for beginners, and we were able to see beautiful corals and fish. I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you very much.

姉妹とその子どもたち、9名で参加しました。4歳から50歳までと年齢はバラバラ、しかも初心者ばかりでしたが、皆んなが楽しむことができました。ガイドの方は、小さな子どものことも、年配の私のことも気にかけて、皆んなに元気に声をかけて下さり、安心して、ずっと笑顔で参加することができました。2月でしたが、その日は天気も良く気持ちよく海に入ることができました。海は叫んでしまうほど綺麗で、今も思い出してうっとりしてしまうほどです。シュノーケリングは、初心者に合わせて進めて下さり、綺麗なサンゴや魚を見ることができました。また、是非参加させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

We traveled by shuttle car from the hotel, wearing the boots, life jackets, and waterproof bags that were provided. First, we enjoyed canoeing through the mangroves. The air felt so refreshing. We paddled along while observing the Minami Tobihaze and schools of fish.

After getting off the canoe, we greeted the Sakishima Suo tree and set off trekking towards the waterfall. As we made our way through the jungle-like forest, we encountered various creatures such as the tree-climbing lizard and the Kishinoue lizard.

After walking for several minutes, we reached the top of the waterfall, which offered a breathtaking view. There were no fences, so we could see the waterfall up close. The homemade Yaeyama soba by our guide, Mr. Ishitaka, was delicious with a rich broth. Having lunch while enjoying the scenery was a fantastic experience.

After that, we headed to the waterfall basin. Taking a dip in the water after sweating from the trek felt wonderful. The Pinai Sara Falls is said to have the largest drop in Okinawa, and seeing it up close was impressive.

The homemade cake for a snack was made by the wife of a former baker and was very tasty. Please note that there are no toilets during the tour, so we had to use portable toilets. It was my first experience, but it wasn't difficult. The portable toilet near the waterfall basin has a waterfall view, which I highly recommend!

Mr. Ishitaka shared many stories with us, making it a fulfilling day where we could truly feel the diverse nature of Iriomote Island! We also got to take many wonderful photos. (The posted photos include some taken by him.)

ホテルから送迎の車で移動し、貸していただいたブーツ、ライフジャケット、防水バッグを身につけ、まずはカヌーでマングローブを満喫。空気がとても気持ちいいです。
ミナミトビハゼや魚の群れを見ながら進みます。
カヌーを降りたらサキシマスオウノキに挨拶し、滝上を目指しトレッキング。
まさにジャングルといった森の中を進むと、キノボリトカゲ、キシノウエトカゲなど様々な生き物に出会えました。
数十分歩き、たどり着いた滝の上はまさに絶景でした。柵も何もないので間近で滝口を見ることができます。
ガイド五十畑さんの自家製八重山そばは出汁がきいていてとても美味しかったです。
景色を見ながらのランチは最高の気分でした。
その後滝壺に向かいます。トレッキングで汗をかいた後の滝壺での水浴びはとても気持ちよかったです。
ピナイサーラの滝は沖縄県で最大の落差だそうで、間近で見ることができるので迫力がありました。
おやつの自家製ケーキは元パン屋さんの奥様お手製だそうでとても美味しかったです。
なお、ツアー中はトイレがないので簡易トイレを使うことになります。初めての経験でしたが難しくはなかったです。滝壺近くの簡易トイレがウォーターフォールビューなのでおすすめです笑
五十畑さんには色々な話をしていただき、西表島の多様な自然を感じられる大満足の一日となりました！
素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただけました。（投稿写真は撮っていただいた写真も含んでいます。）

(I didn't bring my smartphone while snorkeling, so the photos are from SUP.)

First, about SUP: it was my first time ever on a stand-up paddleboard (also my first time on a board), but since it was held in a calm bay, I was able to enjoy a graceful time with the wind very easily.

Also, the snorkeling took place at a beach with plenty of fish and coral, which we reached by moving from the SUP venue. The terrain was typical of Miyako Island, featuring a mix of shallow and deep areas formed by deposits of coral and shells. The tropical fish and sea turtles I saw there were truly beautiful.

The staff were friendly and shared recommendations for good restaurants. If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to make a reservation with them.

The sea around Miyako Island was not murky at all; it was really beautiful.

(シュノーケリング中スマホを持っていかなかったので写真はSUPです。)

まずはSUPから、人生初のSUP(ボードも初めて)でしたが、波が穏やかな湾内での開催ということもありとても簡単に風と共に優雅な時間が過ごせました。

また、シュノーケルはSUPの会場から移動して魚やサンゴの多いビーチで行いましたが、そちらもサンゴや貝殻などの堆積物でできた宮古島らしい、浅い場所と深い場所が混在した地形が広がっていて、そこでみた熱帯魚やウミガメはとても綺麗なものでした。

お兄さんたちの人柄も良く、おすすめのご飯屋さん等教えていただけ、また宮古島に来る機会があれば予約したいと思います。

宮古島の海は濁っておらず、本当に綺麗でした。

It was the same day, but I was able to make a reservation and went kayaking to see the sunset. The guide who led the tour was very kind, and I quickly grasped the tips. They also talked about Okinawa and the plants, making it an enjoyable tour to see and hear about. I went with other customers, and we had a very friendly kayaking experience together. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

当日だったのですが、予約することができて
カヤックでサンセットを見に行きました。
ツアーを案内してくれた方がとても親切でコツもすぐに掴めたし、沖縄のことや植物のことなども話してくれて見て聞いて楽しいツアーでした。
他のお客さんと一緒に行ったのですが、とても和気あいあいとカヤック体験ができました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

Stand-up paddleboarding was so much fun! It looked difficult, but once I tried it, it was really easy and enjoyable. The ocean was beautiful, and the coral really showcased the charm of Miyako Island. Snorkeling was also amazing; I got to see the clear water and even spotted a clownfish for the first time. It was wonderful! Thank you so much!

サップとても楽しかったです♪
難しそうに見えましたがやってみると
すごく簡単でたのしかったです。
海も綺麗でサンゴもすごく宮古島の良さが
伝わりました^ ^
シュノーケルも海の綺麗さ初めて
海でカクレクマノミもみれて、
素敵でした^ ^ありがとうございました^ ^

I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I was satisfied with the beautiful ocean. I think it's easy enough for those who are not good at exercising, so I recommend it!

ウミガメは見れなかったけど、海が綺麗で満足しました。
運動が苦手な方でも簡単に出来ると思うのでおすすめです！

I didn't see many people doing it (laughs). The path along the way is filled with dense mangroves, so it's shaded. I think it might be cold. The guide provided a lot of varied information, which was really enjoyable and informative. After all, you have to participate in activities to truly experience them. Since I'm already in Iriomote, I should make the most of it. It seems like it would be really crowded in the summer. Even in February, there were quite a few people around.

やってる人見かけなかった(笑)
途中の道中がマングローブが多い茂ったところなので日陰なんでね。寒いと思います。
ガイドさんが色々と多岐にわたった情報をくれるので、とても楽しかったし、ためになりました。
やっぱアクティビティはやってこそです。西表まで来てるんだから。
夏場は檄混みでキツそう。２月でもかなりの人が来てました。

At first, I was anxious being alone, but once the tour started, those worries disappeared. Thanks to the kind and attentive advice from the staff, I was able to participate joyfully. Also, thank you to the other tour participants for being friendly.

最初は一人で不安でしたがツアーが始まるとそんな心配もどこ吹く風＾＾
スタッフの皆さんの優しく丁寧なアドバイスのおかげで楽しく参加することができました。
また、他のツアー参加の皆さんともフレンドリーにさせて頂き有難うございました。

It was my first time touching a dolphin, and it was also my first experience swimming! When it came time to swim, the dolphins led the way properly, and it was fun. Above all, the dolphins were so cute. I will definitely make a reservation again next time.

イルカに触るのも初めてでしたが、 泳ぐのも初めての体験でした！ いざ泳ぐとなると、イルカさんがちゃんと 先導してくれて、 泳いでくれ楽しかったし何よりイルカさんが可愛かった。
次回また予約します。

The snorkeling was amazing! The staff, the weather, and everyone who participated were all great. I would like to join again. Thank you! ^ ^

シュノーケル最高でした！
スタッフさん、天気、一緒に参加した方々、全て良かったです。
また、参加したいと思っています。
ありがとうございました^ ^

You can swim with turtles!
This time, I participated in the SUP & Sea Turtle Snorkeling one-day course. One thing I regret is that I thought I would wear a wetsuit for SUP, so I didn't bring a rash guard or leggings. It's better to be in a swimsuit even in winter for sunburn and cold protection. Also, if you usually wear glasses, it's a good idea to prepare a float in case they fall off. I hesitated and took off my glasses, but I regret not being able to see the beautiful sea clearly.
Putting preparation aside, the tour itself prioritizes safety and provides easy-to-understand instructions for beginners.
Ingyamarine Garden is a great spot for SUP cruising with no waves. It's interesting to go through rocky areas and over bridges. Some participants even saw rays swimming.
After lunch, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. I thought there would be turtles in the shallow water during low tide, but the turtles come from the open sea during high tide into the enclosed natural pool, so we aimed to search for them there. We swam about 200-300 meters towards the rocks and coral, but those who couldn't swim could hold onto a float while the instructor guided them. We encountered colorful fish and even Nemo. Among us, one participant spotted a turtle. When we chased it, we encountered a leisurely swimming green sea turtle and swam together for about 15 minutes. It didn't seem scared of us or try to escape.
The instructor took many photos, so if you're worried about losing your camera, you don't need to bring one. They will send the photos later via LINE.
The chance of encountering a turtle was 30%, but we were lucky.
It became an experience that we can cherish and talk about forever.

カメと泳げます！
今回、SUP&海カメスノーケル1日コースに参加。私の準備不足だったことは、SUPの時にウェットスーツを着るものと思い、ラッシュやスパッツを持たなかったこと。SUPは冬でも水着のままなので日焼けや寒さ対策はした方がいい。また、普段メガネの方は落ちた時のことを考えてフロートを準備した方がいい。迷ってメガネを外したものの、綺麗な海を鮮明に見ることが出来なかったことは後悔あり。
準備はさておき、ツアーそのものは安全を第一に初心者にもわかりやすくレクチャーしてくれます。
インギャーマリンガーデンは波もなくSUPクルーズに良い場所。岩場を抜けたり橋を超えたり、面白いと思います。参加者の中にはエイが泳いでいるのを見た人もいました。
お昼を挟んでシギラビーチにシュノーケルのため移動。干潮で浅瀬にカメがいるのかと思ったら、満潮時に外洋から入ってきた亀が閉ざされた天然プールの海にいるので、そこを狙って探すというもの。200-300メートル泳いで岩場や珊瑚に向かいますが、泳げない人はフロートに捕まりインストラクターが誘導してくれます。カラフルな魚やニモにも会えます。そんな中、参加者の一人が亀を目撃。追いかけるとゆったりのんびり泳ぐ青海亀に遭遇。15分ほど一緒に泳ぎました。人を怖かったり逃げたりもしません。
インストラクターさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、カメラ紛失の不安がある方は持たなくても大丈夫。後にLINEで送ってくれます。
亀遭遇率30%の確率でしたが、私達はラッキーでした。
いつまでも思い出を語り継げる体験となりました。

I learned about Tokashiki Island on YouTube and applied to visit. I went to Aharen Beach, and as an option, Hanari Island. After lunch, I went snorkeling at Tokashiku Beach, and I was incredibly impressed by the beauty of the sea, the corals I saw for the first time, and the sea turtles! I had heard that it’s not always possible to see sea turtles, but I was lucky enough to see about 5 or 6 of them. I am also grateful to the staff at Reef Inn Kuniyoshi for their kindness.

　ユーチューブで渡嘉敷島を知り応募しました。阿波連ビーチ、オプションでハナリ島、昼食後渡嘉志久ビーチでシュノーケルをしましたが、海の綺麗さ、初めて見る珊瑚、ウミガメに大感動しました！！ウミガメは見れないこともあると聞いていましたが運良く5〜6匹見ることができました。リーフイン国吉様の方々にも良くしていただき感謝しています。

It was forecasted to rain in the afternoon, but I participated anyway.

To conclude, it was the best tour ever.

I am grateful to the guide who provided rich knowledge and experiences, and offered excellent hospitality during lunch in the great outdoors.

Despite the looming rain, the management of the itinerary in advance, the pacing during the trip, and the engaging conversation that didn’t make us feel rushed gave me a sense of security and complete satisfaction.

Since it was winter, we didn’t enter the waterfall basin, but the jungle exploration was comfortable.

I was amazed by the strength of the water buffalo, and the tour, along with the Yufuin Island cruise, became a memorable experience.

I pray that this place is not caught up in the ravages of war, and I would like to visit again.

---

If I could wish for something, it would have been nice to have a changing area after the canoeing.

午後から雨予報での参戦。

結論から言うと、、最高のツアーでした。

知識や体験が豊富で、大自然でのランチも最高のおもてなしをして頂いたガイドさんに感謝しかありません。

雨が降りそうな中で事前の行程管理、道中のペース配分、その中で慌ただしさを感じさせないトーク、安心感、至極満足でした。

冬場なだけあって滝壺には入らなかったが、その分、ジャングルでの散策は快適。

水牛の力強さに感嘆、由布島遊覧ともに記憶に残るツアーと相成りました。

この地が戦禍に巻き込まれんことを祈り、また来訪したい。

欲を言えば、カヌー後の着替え場所があると嬉しかった

We participated as a pair. The day before was cloudy, but today it was nice and sunny from the morning. We started from a calm spot near the sea, and depending on the weather, we went out to the sea along the way. I liked the green color of the water. There is always an instructor present, so it's a safe optional tour. The meeting parking lot is small, so I think it's better to arrive early. Also, there is about a two-hour gap between the morning and afternoon tours. Since there is time for lunch, I think it's a good idea to check for places to eat in advance.

2人で参加しました。前の日は、曇りでしたが、今日は、朝から晴れで良かったです。海の近くの穏やかな所からスタート、天気次第で途中は海に出ます。海の色が、グリーンなのが良かったです。常時インストラクターが付いているので安全なオプショナルツアーです。待ち合わせの駐車場が狭いので、早めに到着するようにした方がいいと思います。それから、午前と午後のツアーの間が２時間くらい空いています。昼食の時間があるので、食べる場所を事前に確認した方が良いと思います。

I participated alone, but I received very kind one-on-one guidance. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to request it!

1人で参加でしたが、マンツーマンでとても親切にガイドしていただきました。また、機会があったら是非お願いしたいと思います!

I was quite anxious since I participated with my mother, who is not a good swimmer, but the guide was kind and led us well! My mother was initially scared, but she gradually became captivated by the beautiful fish of Miyako Island and enjoyed herself. Since we participated in February, it was a bit chilly, but wearing a wetsuit made it especially comfortable during snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but it was a wonderful experience to kayak and snorkel in the beautiful waters of Miyako Island.♡

今回、泳ぎが苦手な母との参加だったので不安も大きかったのですがガイドさんが優しく先導してくれました！母も始めは怖がっていましたが徐々に宮古島の綺麗な魚の虜になっていて楽しんでいました。2月での参加だったため少し寒さを感じましたがウェットスーツを着用していたのでシュノーケリング中は特に気になりませんでした。残念ながらウミガメは見られなかったのですが綺麗な宮古島の海でカヌー、シュノーケルが出来て素敵な体験になりました♡

I came from Hokkaido, and even though it was February, I was able to experience summer. The guide was kind, and there were also foreign visitors, which made it a very enjoyable time.

北海道から来ましたが、2月なのに夏の体験ができました。ガイドさんも親切で、外国の方も一緒でしたが、とても楽しく過ごせました。

I originally knew about Coral View Cruising, but the prices seemed high and I was hesitant because making a reservation felt like a hassle. However, this time I had some extra time, so I decided to give it a try.

I was aware that the weather during this trip would be bad, so I didn't have high expectations. When we arrived at the point and the seating area descended into the water, I couldn't see anything around me, and I thought it was probably due to the weather. But then the guide told us that we couldn't see anything right now, but we would be moving to the point soon…

When we arrived at the point, I was amazed!! The coral reef started to come into view, and various fish were swimming around. I even got to see sea anemones and clownfish! Although I didn't see it, it seemed that the people in the seats behind me were able to spot a sea turtle! It seems like you can see one if you're lucky.

If you're traveling to Okinawa, you definitely should go on this cruise! You can see real, natural fish that are different from those at the Churaumi Aquarium! The staff were very kind and friendly, and the guide even made sure to remind us to hold onto our hats because of the strong wind! Thanks to them, I had a truly valuable experience. I will definitely use this service again when I come back to Okinawa!

元々コーラルビュークルージングがあるのは知っていたのですが、値段も高そうだし、予約取るのが面倒くさくて敬遠していたのですが、今回は時間にも余裕があったので乗ってみました。

今回の旅行は天気が悪いのは知っていたので、あまり期待はしていなかったのですが、ポイントに到着し客席部分が海中に降りると、周りは何も見えず、やっぱり天気のせいか……と思っていたのですが、案内役の女の子から、今は何も見えませんが、これからポイントまで移動しますとのこと…
そしてポイントに到着しビックリ！!
サンゴ礁が綺麗に見え始め、様々な魚が泳いでいて、イソギンチャクにカクレクマノミまで見る事が出来ました！
私は見れませんでしたが、後ろの座席の人達はウミガメも見る事が出来たようです！
運が良いと見れるみたいですね。

沖縄に旅行に来るならば、絶対に乗った方が良いです！美ら海水族館とは違う、天然の本物の魚達が見る事が出来ますよ！
スタッフの方達もとても親切で愛想が良く、案内役の女の子も、風が強いので帽子が飛ばないようにと気遣ってくれました！
お陰様で大変貴重な体験をさせて頂けました。
また沖縄に来る際は、絶対に利用させて頂きます！!

I was thrilled to finally experience kayaking in Okinawa, something I had wanted to try for a long time. Since my reservation was for the very first time in the morning, I was the only one there. Although there were a few people paddling on the Hija River, I received one-on-one instruction and thorough explanations. I would be happy to kayak here in Okinawa again if I have the chance.

　ずっとやってみたいと思っていたカヤックを初めて来た沖縄で体験でき、感激です。
　予約した時間帯は、朝一番だったこともあり私1人だけで、比謝川に数人漕いでいる人たちはいたものの、マンツーマンの指導と丁寧な説明を受けることができました。
　できたらまた、ここ沖縄でカヤックをできたら嬉しいです。

The weather wasn't great, so we couldn't see the sunset, but we were guided through the mangrove course at high tide! Since there were no other guests, it was just the two of us, and we were able to enjoy it at our own pace. The staff member who assisted us was friendly and kind! Next, I want to try the sea sap that was recommended to us!

天気が良くなくて、サンセットはみれなかったけど満潮のマングローブのコースを案内して頂きました！
他のお客さんがいなくて私達2人だけで貸切だったのでゆっくり満喫できました。
担当のお兄さんも気さくで親切な方でした！
次はオススメしてもらったシーサップ挑戦してみたいです！

I was taken to a place with a great view. The staff was very kind, and I also rode on the glass board. I want to go again in the summer next time.

見晴らしのよい場所に連れて行ってもらいました。
とても、親切でグラスボードにも乗りました。
次回は夏に行きたいです

It was drizzling, so I was hesitant to cancel until the last minute, but in the end, it was really great!

Even with the rain, they provided waterproof gear for free, and I enjoyed myself without feeling any impact from the weather.

It was my first time kayaking, but with the thorough explanations, I was able to paddle without any difficulty.

The explanations about the banyan trees, plants, birds, and butterflies were all new to me, and the one hour passed by in no time without getting bored!
Next time, if I have the chance to visit again, I would like to try sunset or night kayaking.

Thank you for the wonderful memories of Okinawa.

小雨が降っていたので直前までキャンセルしようか迷っていたのですが、結果とても良かったです！

雨が降っていても上下の防水雨具を無料レンタルしてくれますし、全く影響を感じず楽しめました。

カヤックは初めてでしたが丁寧な説明で、難なく漕ぐことができました。

途中のガジュマルや植物、鳥や蝶の説明が初めて
聞く事ばかりで飽きる事なく1時間という時間はあっという間！
次回、再訪する機会があればサンセットやナイトカヤックにも挑戦してみたいです。

素敵な沖縄の思い出をありがとうございました。

The weather was wonderful, and it was very lovely. We enjoyed the scenery while cruising and observed the underwater world in a submarine. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, the fish were swimming gracefully. It was an hour that flew by in no time.

お天気にも恵まれて、とても素敵でした。クルージングで景色を観て、潜水艦で海中を観察。ウミガメは見られなかったけど、魚たちが優雅に泳いでいました。あっという間の1時間でした。

We took a ferry from Ishigaki Island to Ohara Port, where we were warmly welcomed. First, we enjoyed kayaking and trekking with a very knowledgeable and pleasant guide who shared insights about the mangroves. At the final destination, we savored delicious meat-filled Yaeyama soba, along with a homemade fruit cake-like bread made by the former baker's wife, and herbal tea. After retracing our steps, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, where we had the freedom to explore a botanical garden island that can be walked around in about an hour. We admired the water buffalo leisurely soaking in the water, as well as the colorful flowers and butterflies, tasted homemade gelato, and interacted with the water buffalo, fully enjoying an hour and a half of sightseeing on Yubu Island. We were then taken to our accommodation near Ohara Port. The weather was cloudy with no sunlight, making it comfortable, although we were caught in a strong downpour during trekking, which was a bit of a hassle. However, since we were wearing rental shoes for kayaking and had life jackets on, the rain didn't bother us too much. It's handy to have clothes that can get wet, along with a towel and a hat, since we walked through the river during the trek.

石垣島からフェリーで大原港へ、港で出迎えを受け、まずは、マングローブをとても知識豊富で気持ちの良い語り手のガイドさんとカヤックとトレッキングで堪能し、ゴールの滝つぼで美味しい肉入り八重山そばと元パン職人の奥様手作りの凄く美味しいフルーツケーキのようなパンとハーブティーを賞味、来た道を戻り、水牛車に乗って、由布島へ、１時間ほどで歩いて廻れる植物園の島を自由散策し、水にのんびり浸かっている水牛や色とりどりの花や蝶を愛で、自家製ジェラートを味わい、水牛と触れあい、１時間半の由布島観光を満喫して、大原港近くの宿泊先に送っていただきました。曇り空で日差しもなく、過ごしやすい気候で、トレッキング中の強めの通り雨には閉口しましたが、靴はカヤック用のレンタルシューズですし、ライフジャケットを羽織っていたので、それほど雨は気になりませんでした。トレッキングで川の中も歩くので、濡れても良い服とタオルと帽子があると便利ですね。

I had a SUP experience at Ingyar Marine Garden.

Despite the unfortunate weather being a bit chilly, the guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I was able to master SUP quickly.

While enjoying SUP, I was also able to see sea snakes, rays, and clownfish among the corals, which made me very satisfied. We took photos at various spots, creating wonderful memories of the trip.

This is the best recommended experience to enjoy in Miyako Island during the winter.

インギャーマリンガーデンでSUP体験をしてきました。

あいにくのお天気で少し肌寒い環境でしたが、ガイドさんの説明も非常に分かりやすく、すぐにSUPを乗りこなすことができました。

SUPを楽しみながら、ウミヘビやエイ、サンゴの隙間からクマノミも見ることができ大満足です。
またいろいろな場所で写真も撮影して頂き旅の良い思い出をつくることができました。

真冬の宮古島で楽しめる最高のおすすめ体験です。
