All Reviews for Marine and Ocean Activities

I participated in a mangrove tour on Iriomote Island! The guide, Shika-chan, was reliable and cheerful. With her smile and lively talk, the tour was filled with a fun atmosphere the entire time. As we moved through the mangrove forest, she explained the unique vegetation and wildlife of Iriomote Island in a clear and very detailed manner, leaving us amazed with many "Wow!" moments.

I learned about the natural charm and history of the island that you can't discover just by sightseeing, which was truly educational. The green reflections on the calm water and the sounds of wild birds that you can hear if you listen closely made for a wonderful experience that engaged all my senses.

Thank you so much, Shika-chan! I definitely want to come back again.

西表島でのマングローブツアーに参加してきました！
案内してくれたのは、頼もしくて明るいガイドのしかちゃん。笑顔と軽快なトークで、ツアー中ずっと楽しい雰囲気に包まれていました。マングローブ林の中を進みながら、西表島ならではの豊かな植生や生き物のことを、わかりやすく、しかもとても丁寧に説明してくれて、「へぇ〜！」と驚くことばかり。
ただ観光するだけでは知ることのできない自然の魅力や島の歴史も知ることができて、本当に勉強になりました。穏やかな水面に映る緑、耳を澄ませば聞こえてくる野鳥の声…五感すべてで西表島を満喫できた時間でした。
しかちゃん、本当にありがとうございました！また遊びに来たいです。

The waves were intense and I was worried, but my son was able to ride the waves multiple times and had a great time! The staff prioritized safety and did a wonderful job! Thank you very much.

波が凄くて心配でしたが、息子は何回も並に乗れて楽しかったそうです！
スタッフさんは、安全第一につとめてくれました！ありがとうございました。

I couldn't go to the Pumpkin Cave on the day, but I experienced sea turtle snorkeling and canoeing. The snorkeling was with a kind guide, and the canoeing was with a bright veteran guide whose name I missed. They explained everything carefully and took many photos for us. We also got to hear about the ocean and various stories. Thank you for your help with the preparations and clean-up in the heat. The waves were calm, and we had a wonderful time as a family.

当日パンプキン鍾乳洞には行けませんでしたが、海亀シュノーケリングとカヌー体験しました。シュノーケリングは優しいかんちゃん、カヌーは明るいきょっぴさんと名前は聞きそびれましたがベテランさんでした。丁寧に説明してくださり、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。そして、海の事や色んなお話を聞かせてもらいました。準備や片付け等暑い中ありがとうございました。
波も穏やかで家族で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

2 of us in our group are very scared of heights and this was still very enjoyable for them! Beautiful experience for everyone!!! They were very safe about everything:)

I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and I experienced a very mystical world in the limestone caves!

It was great that our guide, Tecchan, took so many photos for us!

シュノーケルではウミガメも見れ、
鍾乳洞ではとても神秘的な世界を見ることができました！

ガイドのてっちゃんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれてとても良かったです！

First, I was surprised by the size of the coral. The fish gathered there were colorful and beautiful. And the beautiful sea. Furthermore, there was the fun guide, Soma. I forgot to get sunburned and had a great time. Thank you so much, Soma! ♪

まずビックリしたのはサンゴの大きさ。そこに集まる魚はカラフルで綺麗でした。そして綺麗な海。更にはそーまっするさんの楽しいガイド。日焼けする事を忘れて楽しみました。そーまっするさん本当にありがとうございました♪

We created family memories with Yamato, whose refreshing smile and reliability made a great impression, and Ellie, who radiated a wonderful aura of kindness! Pumpkin offered a variety of experiences that exceeded our expectations, and our whole family was very satisfied! We completed canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling all in one day. Honestly, we were quite tired, but I'm glad we chose this tour! Thank you!

笑顔が爽やかな上に頼りがいのある大和さんと、良い人オーラが半端ないエリーさんに家族の思い出を作ってもらいました！
パンプキンは想像を超える色々な体験が出来て、家族みんな大満足！カヌーもSUPもシュノーケルも1日でコンプリートし、正直かなり疲れたけどこのツアーにして良かったです！ありがとうございました！

I had the impression that the Blue Cave would be crowded, so I had been avoiding it until now, but I wanted my children to experience it, so I participated this time.

On the day of the tour, there were many tour companies, but it seemed relatively uncrowded, and we were able to get into the sea right away from Maeda Cape.

Our tour guide, Mr. Kaneshiro, was very thorough in his explanations, kept the conversation lively, and was a master at creating mysterious rings. He also took a lot of photos for us.

Additionally, the restaurants he recommended were both very delicious! The food at COBY was especially amazing!

I highly recommend this tour company.

青の洞窟は混んでいるイメージがあって今まで敬遠していたのですが、子供達にも体験して欲しくて今回参加しました。
当日はたくさんのツアー会社がいましたが、比較的空いていたようで、眞栄田岬からはすぐに海に入れました。

ツアーを担当してくださった金城さんは、説明がとても丁寧で、たくさん話を盛り上げてくれて、謎の輪っかを作る達人でした。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

また、お勧めしていただいた飲食店はどちらもとても美味しかったです！特にCOBY最高でした！

大変おすすめのツアー会社さんです。

I participated in marine activities during my first trip to Miyako Island, and it was truly amazing! The Pumpkin Cave was mystical and moving. I was also very happy to meet a sea turtle! The guide was a very kind and cheerful young man, which made it easy for us beginners to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind!

初めての宮古島旅行でマリンアクティビティに参加しましたが、本当に最高でした！
パンプキン鍾乳洞は神秘的で感動。ウミガメにも会えてとても嬉しかったです！
ガイドの方はとても親切&爽やか笑顔のお兄さんで、初心者の私たちでも安心して楽しめました！

I went on a tour with Yufu Island and kayaking! Yufu Island had more attractions than I expected, and there were many photo spots to enjoy! I learned a lot about the mangroves while kayaking! It was fun even when the waves splashed! I'm glad I could have an experience that was typical of Iriomote Island!

由布島とカヤックのツアーにしました！
由布島が思ったよりも見どころがあって、写真スポットも多くて楽しめました！
カヤックはマングローブについてたくさん知ることができました！
波がかかったりするのも楽しかったです！
西表島らしい体験ができてよかったです！

I participated with my 2-3 year old child. Since the adults who joined were all women, when we started, we struggled to move the kayak forward. In the end, the guide kindly tied our two kayaks together and pulled us along! (laughs) I'm really grateful for their efforts. The sunset was beautiful, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much! ♪

2,3歳の子連れで参加しました。参加した大人は女性だったので、いざ開始すると頑張ってもカヤックが進まず、最終的にはガイドさんが私たち2艘を紐で繋いで引っ張ってくださりました！(笑)
よく頑張ってくださって感謝です。夕日も美しく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♪

Since the pumpkin cave and sea kayaking were canceled, this review is only for snorkeling.

You can easily enter the sea by walking from the shore, so even those who are not comfortable with boats can participate without hesitation. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but the sea was beautiful, and I did get to see Nemo 😃. The staff was also kind and provided good service.

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシーカヤックが中止になったのでシュノーケリングのみの評価です。

海岸から歩いて海に入るので、船が苦手な方でも気軽に参加できます。残念ながらウミガメには遭遇出来ませんでしたが、海も綺麗でニモにも会えました😃
スタッフの方も親切で対応も良かったです。

I had a great experience on the tour, guided by a muscular former firefighter named Yamato, which made me feel at ease! He shared stories about the limestone caves, and we had a mystical experience canoeing. We also got to experience a very cold, refreshing natural underground water pool deep inside the caves❄. I was able to see sea turtles, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun and amazing trip! Thank you very much!

大和さんという元消防士のムキムキお兄さんがガイドをしてくれ安心してツアーに望むことができました!鍾乳洞の言い伝えなど教えてくれた上での、カヌーでのパンプキン神秘的体験！鍾乳洞の奥にとても冷たくてキンキンに冷えた天然地下水プールも体験できました❄
ウミガメ見れてとても楽しく最高の旅になりました！ありがとうございました

The beauty of the ocean and the comfort I felt during my first experience with mangroves left me feeling refreshed both physically and mentally!!! The staff was kind, and I had a wonderful time 😊 They were flexible in accommodating our situation, and I truly appreciate it! Thank you very much!!!

海の綺麗さと、心地よさ、初のマングローブでの体験で、身も心も爽快です！！！
お兄さんも優しくて、いい空間を過ごさせていただきました😊
こちらの状況にも柔軟に対応いただき、感
しています！
ありがとうございました！！！

The sea is so beautiful that it doesn't feel like Japan.
I can confidently recommend it.
You can see many beautiful fish as well.
Also, there are plenty of instructors, so it's安心.

日本とはおもえないほどに海が綺麗
自信をもっておすすめできます。
たくさん綺麗な魚もみれます。
またインストラクターもたくさんいるので安心です。

On this day, I was worried whether the tour would take place due to the earthquake, but miraculously, only the 3 PM tour was held. It was my first experience with clear SUP, and thanks to the instructor's kind and thorough guidance, I was able to stand on the board and paddle. During our free time, with the instructor's generosity, I also had the opportunity to experience clear kayaking. I was able to see the blue coral reefs and many fish. In the end, I received a wonderful video that included many photos and images taken with a drone. I made the best memories in Miyako Island.

この日、地震の影響でツアーが催行されるか心配でしたが、奇跡的に15時のツアーのみ催行されました。初体験のクリアSUPでしたが、インストラクターの方の懇切丁寧な指導のおかげで、何とかボードの上で立って、パドルで漕ぐことができました。自由時間には、インストラクターの方のご好意で、クリアカヤック体験もさせていただきました。青い珊瑚礁や多くの魚も見せていただくことができました。そして、最後には多くの写真とドローンで撮影された画像も入れて、一本の素敵なビデオをプレゼントしていただきました。宮古島で、最高の思い出ができました。

The cave tour in the afternoon was canceled due to slightly rough sea conditions, but thanks to the somewhat amusing talk and guidance from the handsome Osaka local, Tecchan, we were able to see sea turtles and take photos. I understand that making safety decisions in such harsh natural environments can be challenging, but we were very satisfied.

少し荒れた海の状態で、午後からの鍾乳洞はキャンセルとなりましたが、イケメン大阪人てっちゃんの、ちょっと微妙に面白いトークと案内のおかげで、海亀に会えましたし、写真も撮れました。厳しい自然環境の中で、安全面の判断で大変かと思いますが、こちらは大満足でした。

Today, due to the impact of the typhoon, we only did sea turtle snorkeling. She wasn't very confident in swimming, so I was quite worried until we started, but our guide, Riki, was very kind and reassuring. Not only did he carefully explain how to move in the water beforehand, but he also provided detailed information about the creatures we saw. It was really great. He took wonderful photos and videos, so I recommend this experience for couples or families.

本日は台風の影響でウミガメシュノーケリング🤿のみに変更になりました。彼女も泳ぎがあまり得意ではない為、行うまではとても心配でしたが、ガイドのりきさんが優しく引っ張ってくれてとても安心できました。海中での動き方などを事前に丁寧に説明してくれるだけでなく、実際に見た生き物について詳しく教えてくれるところがとても良かったです。写真や動画を上手に撮って下さるので、付き合っている方や家族の人におすすめです。

On this day, the waves were high, so we couldn't go to the Pumpkin Cave, but in the morning we experienced snorkeling, and in the afternoon, we tried sea kayaking. My 8-year-old was super excited to see a sea turtle swimming right in front of him during his first snorkeling experience. Then, during the highly anticipated sea kayaking, thanks to the staff's kindness, he also got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). When I asked him which activity he enjoyed the most, he said, "They were all fun!" (laughs)

Yutti, our snorkeling guide, and Hiro and Kyo-chan, who guided us with their Kansai dialect during kayaking and SUP, all provided very clear explanations, making us feel safe during the experience. Their attentive service and fun conversations allowed our family to have a wonderful time! Next time, we plan to tackle the cave again, and I definitely want to request it here.

この日は波が高くパンプキン鍾乳洞は行けませんでしたが、午前中はシュノーケリング、午後からはシーカヤックを体験しました。
８歳のこどもは、はじめてのシュノーケリングで目の前を泳ぐ海亀に大興奮、そして、楽しみにしていたシーカヤックでは、スタッフさんのご厚意でSUPにも乗せてもらい、どれが楽しかったと聞くと「ぜんぶ楽しかった～！」とのこと(笑)
シュノーケリングのゆってぃさん、カヤック&SUPの関西弁のひろさんときょうちゃんさん、スタッフの方々はみなさん、とても分かりやすい説明で安心して体験できましたし、丁寧な対応と楽しいトークで、家族一同素敵な時間を過ごせました！
今度は鍾乳洞リベンジ、是非こちらでお願いしようと思います。

Despite the bad weather, we were able to swim with the turtles as planned while ensuring safety! Both the staff and Leon were kind, and my son had a great time. Thank you very much!

天候悪い中で安全性に考慮頂きながら、目的だったカメともしっかり泳ぐことができました！そうまっするも、レオンさんも優しく息子も楽しんでました。ありがとうございました！

I was taken care of during the snorkeling, sea kayaking, and pumpkin cave tour on the 23rd. I got to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, and I was captivated by the very mystical world of the pumpkin cave. Especially in the pumpkin cave, with the guide's help, I climbed the walls and was even splashed by a waterfall. It far exceeded my expectations for the tour, and I'm really glad I participated. The guide, Tsubasa, was very polite, great at keeping the energy up, and I had a wonderful time.

If you come to Miyako, this tour is a must-do. I definitely want to participate again next time.

23日にシュノーケリング&シーカヤック&パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーでお世話になりました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメに会え、パンプキン鍾乳洞ではとても神秘的な世界に魅了されました。
特にパンプキン鍾乳洞ではガイドさん協力の下、壁を登り、滝にも打たれました。
予想していたツアー内容をはるかに超えたもので本当に参加して良かったと思っています。
ガイドのつばささんもとても丁寧、盛り上げ上手で楽しく過ごすことができました。

宮古に来た時には参加必須です。次回もまた参加したいと思います。

The weather was great, and I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding in the beautiful emerald green sea. The drone footage and photos were stunning, and I felt it was definitely worth it! Thank you to the instructors as well!

天気にも恵まれ、綺麗なエメラルドグリーンの海でSUP楽しめました。
ドローン撮影の映像や写真がとても美しく、やって良かったと思いました！
インストラクターのお兄さんたちもありがとうございます！

We participated as a family of four, but due to the typhoon, it was canceled. Just when we were feeling disappointed, we were offered the opportunity to go kayaking in the inland sea. When we arrived that day, there were many people gathered, and a handsome guide suggested snorkeling at a different location. They flexibly changed the plan, and as a result, we had a wonderful snorkeling experience.

The service was very polite, and even our children, who were experiencing this for the first time, felt safe participating. When introducing children to nature, in a new place, and with new experiences, safety and reassurance are the top priorities, so we were very grateful for the way they handled everything.

During snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside sea turtles and beautifully colored tropical fish at an arm's length, and our entire family was extremely satisfied.

家族4人での参加だったのですが、台風の影響で中止に。。
がっかりしていたところ内海でのカヤックをご提案いただきました。
当日行くと大勢人が集まっており、イケメンのガイドさんが再度別の場所でのシュノーケリングをご提案。臨機応変にプラン変更していただけ、結果素晴らしいシュノーケリング体験ができました。
対応も非常に丁寧で、初体験の子どもも安心して参加出来ました。
自然相手で、初めての場所、初めての体験を子どもにさせる際、やはり安心安全が最優先となる中でこのような対応をして頂けたのがとても有り難かったです。
シュノーケリングはウミガメや美しい色をした南国の魚が手に取るような距離で一緒に泳ぐことができ、家族全員が大満足でした。

I participated with my boyfriend, and even though I can't swim, I had an amazing time! When I struggled to move forward, the tour guide helped me, which was reassuring. They took a lot of photos for us, and we even got videos, so it's definitely worth it! After it was over, we could also experience it on our own, so I think it's great for those who want to do more.

彼氏と二人で参加したのですが、泳げなくても、めちゃめちゃ楽しめました！
女の子の力ではなかなか前に進まない時はツアーのお兄さんが助けてくれて、安心しました。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえるし、動画までもらえるので絶対にしたほうがいいです！！
終わった後に、自分たちだけで体験もできたりするのでもっとやりたい人とかはいいと思います。

In conclusion, it was really great! The sea was beautiful, and the instructor taught me how to ride properly, so I didn't fall at all!

Instead of everyone moving together, each person has their own instructor!

Also, the drone experience was quite good. They added music and edited the photos into a video for me!

結論すごくよかったです！
海も綺麗で、インストラクターの方がしっかり乗り方を教えてもらい、落ちることもなかったです！

みんなで動くかんじではなくに1人ずつインストラクターの方がついてくれます！

また、ドローンもかなりよかったです。
音楽をつけてくれたり、写真を編集してどうがにしてくれました！

Ingyā is great! ☆*ﾟ

On the second day in Miyako Island, I had a reservation, but due to bad weather, I received a call two hours before on the previous day and on the day itself, and they changed it to the third day, allowing me to enjoy it. Even when I was blown away by the wind, the instructor helped me, and on the way back, I received photos and videos from the drone, which was the best! ☆*ﾟ

インギャー良きよ☆*ﾟ

宮古島の2日目に予約してたが、天候不良で前日、当日の２時間にも連絡いただき３日目に変更していただき楽しむ事が出来ました
風で流されてもインストラクターの方に助けていただき、帰りには写真、ドローンからの動画もいただいて最高☆*ﾟ

I participated solely for snorkeling. There were many participants, so we were divided into groups and enjoyed snorkeling with the staff. There were two adults in our group, but we were in the same area for most of the time, likely because there was a family with elementary school children, which was a bit disappointing. The sea was very beautiful.

シュノーケルのみが目的で参加しました。
参加者がたくさんいたので、グループ分けをして
スタッフの方と一緒にシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
当方は大人2名でしたが同じグループに小学生のお子さん連れの
ご家族がいたためか、ほぼ移動せず同じエリアにいたことが少し
残念でした。
海はとてもきれいでした。

I was planning to try some water activities when I went to Miyako Island, and I had a lot of fun experiencing activities I had never done before. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I was able to paddle while stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. The snorkeling was truly beautiful and refreshing. Caving was an unknown experience that made my heart race. The instructors were kind and great. Naoki Man taught me about the flowers and creatures along the way, allowing me to fully enjoy Miyako Island.

宮古島に行ったらウォーターアクティビティを何かやってみようと思っていましたが、経験したことがないアクティビティを経験できてとても楽しかったです。
SUPやカヤックは思っていたよりしっかり進めて嬉しかったです
シューノーケリングは本当にきれいで気持ち良かったです
ケービングは未知の体験でドキドキしました。
インストラクターの方々も優しく良かったです。
なおきまんさんには道すがらの花や生物まで教えていただけて宮古島をたんのうできました

First of all, thank you for accommodating our situation when I inquired about the pickup location in advance.

I have participated in many activities so far. Generally, I don't write low-rated reviews, but honestly, this was the most disappointing tour I've experienced.

The schedule indicated that the activity would last 55 minutes from start to finish, but in reality, it was only about 15 to 20 minutes. The sagaribana was beautiful, but the viewing area was a field that could be walked across in one minute, and we just looked at the sagaribana and took photos before it was over.

Since I received a message the day before asking for the sizes of everyone's rubber boots, I thought we would be moving to another location, but instead, they confirmed the hotel we were being taken to, leaving me with the feeling of "Is this it?" It was also painful to be left there for what felt like many more minutes (laughs). I wonder what the rubber boot sizes were for? Another family that participated with us was also having a conversation like, "Isn't this enough? Don't we want to go home?!"

The sightseeing taxi we used the day before (for 4 hours) was very fulfilling, and since the cost was exactly the same for our family of four, I might have felt even more disappointed. It might be good for those who are studying sagaribana or are very interested and could watch it for a long time, but perhaps our expectations were too high. This was the only part of our trip to Ishigaki Island that I regretted booking.

まずはじめに、事前にピックアップの場所について問い合わせをした際
こちらの状況に合わせてご対応いただきありがとうございました。

これまでたくさんのアクティビティを利用させていただいています。
基本的にあまり評価の低いレビューは記載しないのですが・・・
正直、これまでで一番がっかりしたツアーとなりました。

案内スケジュールには、アクティビティスタートから終了まで55分と記載されていますが
実際には、約15分～20分程度でした。
サガリバナは綺麗でしたが、観賞場所も1分で歩けるフィールドで
サガリバナを見て写真を撮って終了。

前日に、家族全員の長靴のサイズを確認する連絡が入っていたため
場所を変えて次の地点に移動するのかと思えば、送り先のホテルを確認されたので
「これで終了？」という思いが拭いきれませんでした。
あの場で、あと何十分も放置されるのも苦痛でしたが(笑)
長靴のサイズは何だったのかな？
一緒に参加していた別のご家族も、「もういいよね？帰りたいよね？！」という
会話をされていました。

前日に利用した観光タクシー（4時間）がとても充実していて
家族4人で、料金がまったく同じだったこともあり余計に残念に感じたのかもしれません。
サガリバナを研究していたり、すごく興味があってずっと見ていられる人には
良いかもしれませんが、私たちは期待値が高すぎたのかもしれませんね。
今回の石垣島旅行で、唯一、申し込みを後悔しました。

I found an activity that my two-and-a-half-year-old son can enjoy. I was worried he might cry since he doesn't even like getting water on his face in the bath, but thanks to the staff, who are experienced in handling children and were very kind, he had a great time. Instead of crying, he was fascinated by looking for fish at the bottom of the transparent boat and searching for crabs among the rocks.

The waves were calm, and the staff provided thorough explanations on how to paddle the kayak beforehand, making it easy to handle. Even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy the sea.

If you have small children, I highly recommend participating!

2歳半の息子でも楽しめるアクティビティを探してて見つけました。お風呂で顔に水がかかるのも嫌がるぐらいなので泣き出さないか心配していましたが、スタッフの皆様が子供の対応にも慣れていて、優しく接して気を紛らわせてくれたおかげでとても楽しめました。泣くどころか透明ボートの底を見て魚を探したり、岩場の蟹を探すのに夢中になっていました。
波も穏やかでカヤックも事前にスタッフの方が丁寧に漕ぎ方の説明をしてくださるので簡単に扱えて、泳ぎが苦手な方でも海を楽しめます。
小さなお子さんがいる方はぜひ参加してみてください！
