I traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island and stayed at a glamping facility. The next day, although I had no plans, I decided to look for activities I could join, and I found this canyoning tour that was available for booking, so I reserved it immediately! (There was a campaign where if I wrote a review later, I would get a cash back for one person!)
I was picked up at the port along with other guests and we headed to the river by car. There were guests who had been participating since the morning, creating a friendly atmosphere. It was fun to hear about the creatures that inhabit Iriomote Island during the ride!
I was a bit anxious since it was my first canyoning experience, but physically, I had no problems at all! We went through some tricky spots, but I felt that as long as I followed the advice given, there was hardly any danger. There were places where you could jump in and areas where you could slide like a waterslide, which was a bit scary but turned out to be a great experience! (If you're scared, it's okay not to do it!)
They provided helmets and shoes, so I really could go hands-free!
I had a waterproof case, but I was worried, so I left my phone (camera) in the car. Some people brought GoPros, but the staff took photos at various points and sent them to us! (I wish they had taken some pictures of the scenery too.)
Since it was a river, it didn't feel sticky like swimming at the beach, and I was glad that I could use the shower at the office on the way back, so I felt refreshed before boarding the ferry!
I decided to join at the last minute, but I'm really glad I did!
石垣島から西表島に渡り、グランピング施設に宿泊、翌日はノープランだったのですが、せっかくならと翌日参加できるアクティビティを夜な夜な探したところ、こちらのキャニオニングツアーが予約可能だったので即予約!(後日体験談を書けば、1人分キャッシュバックされるキャンペーン中でした!)
他のお客さんと一緒に港でピックアップしてもらい、車で川へ向かいました。午前中から参加しているお客さんもいて、和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。車内では西表島に生息する生き物の話などもしてもらえて楽しかったです!
初めてのキャニオニングで少し不安もありましたが、体力的には全く問題なかったです!足場の悪いところをいきますが、アドバイスされたとおりに進めば危険もほとんど無いと思いました。
飛び込みできる場所があったり、スライダーのように滑れる場所があったり、ちょっと怖かったですが良い経験になりました!(怖い人はやらなくても大丈夫でした!)
ヘルメットもシューズも貸してもらえるので、ほんとに手ぶらで大丈夫でした!
防水ケースは持っていましたが心配だったので携帯(カメラ)は車に置いていきました。
ゴープロを持って来ている方もいましたが、スタッフさんがポイントポイントでは撮って送ってくれます!(景色なども撮ってほしかったなー)
川なのでビーチで泳ぐのとは違いベタつかず、帰りに事務所でシャワーを使うことができたので、スッキリして帰りのフェリーに乗れてよかったです!
直前で参加を決めましたが、参加できてよかったです!

It was our first time snorkeling, and although the whole family was a bit nervous, our guide was very friendly and explained everything clearly. Along the way, we enjoyed fun conversations and admired beautiful fish, and before we knew it, we arrived at the Blue Cave! We were able to physically feel the wonderful mysteries of nature and see breathtaking views!
After that, we went sea kayaking! Paddling over the beautiful, vast ocean, we encountered stunning corals and fish, making it an absolutely amazing experience. My family and I talked about how we definitely want to do this again! I highly recommend it to everyone!
はじめての、シュノーケリングで家族皆緊張もありましたが、大変わかりやすく気さくにガイドしていただき、道中も楽しい話や綺麗魚を観ながら、あっという間に、青の洞窟へ!
素晴らしい自然の神秘を体で感じ、絶景をみることができました!
その後はシーカヤック!美しく広い海の上をカヤックで進み、美しいサンゴや魚達と会えて本当に素晴らしい体験の連続でした。次も必ずお願いしたいと家族皆で話をしていました!

During the day, I was taught how to use the paddle and where to position myself on the SUP board. I received guidance on how to go right, go left, and quickly change direction. Once I got the hang of it, I had a lot of fun trying various poses while standing, sitting, and lying down on the SUP. The sunset was a beautiful orange, and with few clouds, the perfectly round sun setting over the sea was amazing. It was my first time on a SUP, but I was able to stay stable and didn’t fall off even once. I also received a lot of photo data, which I really appreciate.
明るいうちに、オールの使い方、SUPボードに乗る位置を教えて頂きました。右にいきたい時、左に行きたい時、急いで方向転換する時など、自動していただきました。慣れてきたら、SUP立ちながら、座りながら、寝そべりながらたくさんのポーズが出来て楽しかったです。夕陽がオレンジ色に、雲が少ないため、まん丸の夕陽が沈む海辺は、最高でした。SUP初めてでしたが一度も落ちることがなく安定して乗れました。写真撮影データもたくさんもらえたので、ありがたいです。

I participated in a sunset stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) session. There were three groups, and one staff member guided us. First, we received a lecture and instructions on how to paddle. After that, we were free to enjoy ourselves and paddle at our own pace. Even as a beginner, I felt no anxiety and was able to have fun comfortably. The weather was cloudy, but the photos turned out beautifully. The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, sharing information about Miyako Island, which was helpful for my trip! Thank you very much!

Right after the announcement of the end of the rainy season, we participated as a mature couple in late June. On the day of the event, the temperature rose from the morning, and it was a perfect sunny day for canyoning with eight participants in four couples. We were the oldest, of course!
Wearing life jackets and helmets, we headed to the starting point! Even though it was summer, the first photo spot where we had to immerse ourselves up to our necks made everyone scream from the cold water. As we jumped from a high point and played on the rapid slides, everyone naturally returned to their childhood. The sun, the subtropical greenery, and the splashing water from the flow gently relaxed our hearts, which usually live in the city.
At the end, we climbed a wall and jumped about 4 meters into the river! After sinking underwater for a moment, we popped up and took a breath, safely returning to the surface! It was the best moment, feeling one with Iriomote Island.
It was such a fun experience that passed by in the blink of an eye, making us wish we could enjoy it for a longer time. Highly recommended!
梅雨明け宣言の直後、6月後半に熟年夫婦で参加しました。当日は朝から気温も上昇、快晴のキャニオリング日和で参加者はカップル4組の8人。私達が最高齢笑。
ライフジャケットとヘルメットを付けスタート地点へ!真夏の気温とはいえ最初に首まで浸かる写真スポットでは水の冷たさに一同悲鳴〜。高台から飛び込み、急流の滑り台に遊ばれと進むにつれ自然と童心に帰っている皆さん。太陽と亜熱帯の緑、飛沫を上げる流れにと南の島の豊かな自然が都会に暮らす私達の心を優しくほぐしてくれます。
最後はクライミングもどきに壁をよじ登り約4m程から川面へジャンプ!一旦水中に沈みブハッ!と顔を出し息を吸うと無事生還!西表島と一体感を味わう最高の瞬間です。
もっと長い時間を楽しみたいと思うほどあっという間に過ぎた楽しい体験でした。
おすすめです!

Since I came to the island alone, I looked for a tour that could fill my schedule. It was far more enjoyable than I expected!
I had no idea that I could actually enter and climb in the limestone cave, so it was a pleasant surprise!

Dear cacau,
Thank you for choosing our shop among many marine shops.
Although you participated at the end of June, the rainy season had ended, and the clarity of the sea with sunlight streaming in must have been at its best.
We have also introduced full-face masks for diving. Since you don't have to hold a regulator in your mouth, you won't feel tired around your mouth, and you can participate with peace of mind as you won't have to worry about water entering the mask.
We look forward to your next visit and hope to see you for diving again.

この度は、数あるマリンショップの中から当店をお選びいただきありがとうございます。
6月末のご参加でしたが、梅雨も明けており光が入り込む海の透明度は最高だったのではないでしょうか?
ダイビングでもフルフェイスマスクを導入しております。呼吸器をくわえなくていいので口元も疲れず、マスクに入る水も気にならないので安心して参加していただけます。
またお越しの際は、ダイビングでのご参加お待ちしております。

We gathered at 9:00 AM (Shinjiro Coast) and disbanded at 3:30 PM (Horarizumi Beach). Since I couldn't drive, I took a taxi in the morning, and for the transfers and to the hotel, I received shuttle service. It seems that taxis are hard to catch in Miyako Island, so it might be better to allow for extra time.
In the morning, we went snorkeling and encountered sea turtles and fish! I was amazed at how close I could see them. It was so beautiful. I personally have almost no swimming experience, and I could only put my face in the water by pinching my nose and closing my eyes, but I was glad I could see so much underwater.
I want to share some tips for beginners like me, as I got panicked and ended up drinking water or losing my sense of direction. 1) When clearing the fog from the snorkeling goggles, make sure to shake off the seawater well; I got a little water in my eyes at first. 2) If you laugh too much, gaps can form in the goggles, letting water in, so keep them a bit tighter. 3) Don’t overexert yourself while swimming to avoid gasping for air and inhaling water. 4) When you put your face in the water in a "attention" position and just kick your legs, you can move straight ahead more easily. 5) If you get too absorbed and keep your face in the water, you might not hear sounds, so occasionally lift your face to listen to the guide and check your position.
In the afternoon, we went to see the Pumpkin Cave. We kayaked to the entrance of the cave, and I think if you communicate with your fellow paddlers, you can make good progress (we almost got stuck a few times). The flow was: go through the entrance hole (you can't touch the bottom here) → see the pumpkin → get out of the water and climb up the cave → listen to the guide's explanation while exploring → dive from where we first climbed. Inside the cave, there were many other tour participants, and it was sometimes hard to find a place to step, but surprisingly it wasn't slippery, and I didn't fall or slip. It was cool, and I could feel the timelessness of nature; it was wonderful.
Regarding the pumpkin, here are some points to be careful about: 1) I think the path to the kayak and the sea is the maximum sunburn zone. Apply sunscreen generously. 2) When climbing the cave, a lot of water splashes on your face, which can be alarming, but try to stay calm, grab the rope, and climb slowly without rushing (I got a pretty bad scrape on my elbow because I panicked thinking, "I'm blocking the next person! Water on my face!"). It's better to take it slow or wear a rash guard. 3) When diving, I pinched my nose and closed my eyes as I fell. Since I was wearing a life jacket, I knew I would float eventually, so I stayed calm and waited until my face was out of the water.
I wrote a lot because I had quite a bit of anxiety, but I had fun from start to finish, was moved, and was very satisfied! Even though I can't swim, I gained confidence that I could do this much. If you have a real fear or trauma, that's a different story, but for those who are inexperienced and feel scared or anxious, I think it will surprisingly work out, so I recommend participating!
(The photo is of a sea turtle I took myself. The guide will take better photos and share them.)
9:00集合(新城海岸)、15:30解散(保良泉ビーチ)でした。車の運転ができないため、朝はタクシー、間の移動とホテルまでは送迎していただきました。宮古島はタクシーが捕まりにくくなっているそうなので、時間に余裕を持った方が良いかもしれません。
午前はシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと魚に遭遇できました!こんなに近くで見られるんだ…と感動しました。とてもきれいでした。私自身泳ぎの経験がほぼなく、鼻をつまみ目を閉じないと顔を水につけられないレベルでしたが、たくさん水中を見ることができて良かったです。
パニくると水を飲んでしまったり方向が分からなくなって不安になるので、私レベルの初心者が気をつけた方がよいことを書いておきます。 ①シュノーケリングのゴーグルの曇り取りの時に海水をよく切らなかったせいで、最初少しだけ目に水が入ってしまったので、水はよく払っておく。②大きく笑うとゴーグルに隙間ができて鼻に水が入るので、ややキツめにしておく。③頑張って泳ぎすぎて息を切らして口から水を吸わないようにする。④気をつけの姿勢で顔を水につけて足だけバタバタしたら、早めに真っ直ぐ進めました。⑤夢中になってずっと顔を水につけていると音が聞こえなくなりやすいので、時たま顔を上げてガイドさんの声を聞き位置を確認する。
午後はパンプキン鍾乳洞を見に行きました。
カヤックで鍾乳洞の入り口まで行くのですが、同乗者と声をかけながら漕ぐと割と上手く進めることができるのではないかと思います。(数回座礁しかけましたが)
鍾乳洞は入り口の穴をくぐる(ここから足つきません。)→パンプキンを見る→水から上がって鍾乳洞を登っていく→ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら回る→最初登ったところからダイブ、という流れでした。鍾乳洞の中は他のツアー参加者も多く、足の踏み場に迷うこともありましたが、意外とすべりにくく、転んだり落ちたりはしませんでした。ひんやりしていて、悠久の自然を感じられて、素敵でした。
パンプキンについても、上と同様に気をつけるポイントを記載しておきます。①カヤックや、海までの道が最大の日焼けゾーンだと思います。日焼けを大げさに塗る。②鍾乳洞を登るとき、顔にかなり水がかかってビビりますが、できるだけ落ち着いてロープを掴み、焦らず冷静にのぼる。(次が詰まってしまう!顔に水が!と思って焦り、ひじにけっこう染みるすり傷ができました。落ち着いてゆっくり挑むか、ラッシュガードを着るといいと思います。)③飛び込むときは鼻をつまんで目を閉じて落ちました。ライフジャケットを来ておりそのうち絶対に浮くので、顔が水から出たと思うまで落ち着いてゆっくり耐えます。
かなり不安があったので色々書いていますが、最初から最後まで楽しかったし、感動したし、大満足です!泳げないけどここまでできたぞという自信にもなります。
本当に恐怖でトラウマがある場合は別ですが、経験なくて怖い、不安だという方でも意外となんとかなると思うので、参加してみることをおすすめします!

I may have had a bit too high expectations from the photos. I think the weather played a part as well. Also, since it was mid-July, which is high season, there were many people snorkeling, making it a bit scary to paddle, and I felt there were not many photos with just us in them (someone was always in the frame). This might be an issue related to the timing.
Additionally, there were three staff members who assisted us, and when we first took photos, one of them asked if we wanted to remove our life jackets before taking the pictures. I replied that I would like to remove them if possible, but another staff member ended up explaining things, so my request didn't get communicated, and we took the photos with the jackets on...
I was grateful that they sent the photos right after the session. For those participating, it's best to be well-prepared for sun protection!
写真で見てて少し期待しすぎたかもしれません
天気もあると思います。あと7月中旬、ハイシーズンなのでシュノーケルしてる方々も沢山いて、漕ぐのも怖いですし、写真も私たちだけの写真って少なかったように思います。(誰かしら写っている)
これは時期の問題かもしれません
あと、対応してくれた方が3名居られて、最初にお写真撮る時にライフジャケット外してから撮りたいですか?っと聞いていただけたので、出来るなら外して撮りたいです!っと答えたのですが、別の方が最終的に説明してたのでその方に伝わっておらず、そのまま撮影でした...。
終わった後にすぐに撮影したデータを送っていただけたのはありがたかったです。
参加される方は、日焼け対策は万全にされた方が良いです!
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We will take your valuable feedback into account and ensure that our staff remains focused for future tours.
大変失礼いたしました。貴重なご意見これからのツアーにいかせられるようスタッフ一同気を引き締めて参ります。

At 9 AM, we gathered at Shinjo Beach, surrounded by shallow waters and coral, where the waves were calm and perfect for swimming. During snorkeling, we were able to see small fish hiding among the corals, and to our surprise, we encountered three sea turtles just about four minutes after starting to swim! ^_^ It was a wonderful experience. Mao, our tour guide, shared various sightseeing knowledge with us, and he was warm and attentive to every detail. I would love to experience this tour again with my family.
朝9時に遠浅で珊瑚に囲まれた海は波も穏やかで、泳ぎやすいビーチ新城海岸で集合し、シュノーケリングでは珊瑚の陰に小さな魚を見ることもでき、泳ぎ始めて4分くらいでまさかのウミガメさん!(3匹)に会えました^_^
とてもいい体験でした。
ツアーのマオさんからいろんな観光知識を教えて頂きました。暖かくて細かいところまで気を配りました。また家族と一緒にこのツアーを体験したいと思います。

I was a bit anxious about trying SUP for the first time, but everyone was so friendly that I was able to participate with ease! On the day, the wind was strong and it was easy to get swept away, but the instructor helped guide us, which made me feel secure! (I’m sorry about that! Haha) I thought I might not be able to see the sunset, but it turned out to be beautiful, and they took some lovely photos, so I was very satisfied! I would love to do this again when I visit Miyako Island! Thank you so much! ☆
初めてのSUPで少し不安がありましたが、フレンドリーに接していただけたので、安心して参加することができました!当日は風が強く流されがちだったのですが、インストラクターの方が引っ張って下さったので安心でした!(すみませんでした!笑)
夕陽も見れないかなと思ってましたが綺麗に見えましたし、写真も綺麗に撮っていただきとっても満足でした!また宮古島に訪れた際はお願いしたいです!本当にありがとうございました☆

The weather was cloudy and not in the best condition. The waves were high, making it a bit challenging to maneuver the stand-up paddleboard, but thanks to the attentive staff, I was able to enjoy myself a lot. It was really disappointing that I couldn't see the sunset due to the clouds, but couples, groups of friends, and families were all having a great time. They provide water shoes and life jackets, so I felt safe even if I fell off the board. Even in mid-July, the sea temperature was very warm, so I didn't have to worry too much about falling in. The staff takes photos for you, so there’s no need to bring your own camera or smartphone. I was impressed by the thoughtful service, like being able to leave my car keys with them. The staff was energetic and attentive, which made me feel very comfortable! Their smiles were wonderful! I definitely want to try again on a sunny day next time.
天候が曇りであまり良い状態ではありませんでした。波も高くサップを操るのが少し苦労しましたが係りの方の丁寧なご対応によりとても楽しむことができました。雲があり夕日が見れなかったのが本当に残念でしたが、カップルの方や女性同士のお友達家族連れ皆さんとっても楽しんでました。ウォーターシューズやライフジャケットを貸していただけるので万が一ボードから落ちても安心でした。7月の中旬でも海水温度はとても暖かく落ちてもあまり心配する事はありませんでした。スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれるのであえて自分でカメラやスマホを持っていく必要はございません。車のキーも預かっていただけるなど細やかなサービスに感動しました。スタッフの皆さん皆さん元気で気が利いて見ていてとても気持ちがよかったです!笑顔が素敵でした!次回はぜひ晴天の時にトライしたいと思います
。
Thank you for participating in the tour today. Did you enjoy the tour?
I was really impressed by how much fun you both seemed to have while paddleboarding! It was a bit challenging with the waves, but...
本日はツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございました。
ツアーは楽しんで頂けましたでしょうか?
お二人がとても楽しそうに
supをされている姿がとても印象に残ってます!!
少し波があり大変でしたが…

I had the experience of the Sunset SUP Tour! Despite the strong winds and waves on the day, the sunset was beautifully visible, making for the perfect location! It was my first time doing SUP, but the staff member was very attentive in teaching me, and I was able to stand up quickly. When taking photos, the staff member gave various instructions with the sunset as the backdrop, and I was able to capture some truly memorable pictures! If you're looking to see a beautiful sunset in Miyako Island or want to try SUP, this is the perfect plan for you.
今回体験させていただいたのは、サンセットsupツアー!
当日は風や波が強いながらも、夕日が綺麗に見えて最高のロケーション!!
supは初めてだったのですが、スタッフのお兄さんの教えて方が丁寧ですぐ立てるようになりました。
写真を撮るときも夕日をバックにお兄さんが様々な指示をしてくれ、とても記念に残る写真が撮れました!
宮古島で綺麗な夕日が見たい!supをしてみたい!という方がいらっしゃればまさにうってつけのプランです。

Booking this tour was definitely the right choice. Riding a kayak on the wide sea with a pleasant breeze and watching the sunset slowly sink into the water was amazing. This is partly thanks to the weather, so in a sense, luck is involved, but the charm of this tour lies elsewhere.
In a word, the tour guide was wonderful. They provided careful support for beginners in kayaking, so there was absolutely no anxiety! More than that, they taught us how to enjoy the experience. They pointed out things like, "Look, there's a rainbow over there," "The clouds are shaped like that," and "The sky over there is such a beautiful color," finding various things to share with us from the same perspective, creating excitement, and enjoying the experience together. Thanks to this, I created many memories beyond just thinking, "That was beautiful."
Even if the weather were to be cloudy, I believe this guide would definitely show us how to enjoy the moment and help us create wonderful memories. I truly appreciate everything. Thank you very much!!
こちらのツアーに申し込んで大正解でした。
気持ちの良い風が吹く広い海の上でカヤックに乗り、ゆっくり海に沈んでいく夕日を見るのは、最高です。
…と、これは天気のおかげなので、ある意味運が必要ですが、こちらのツアーの魅力は、また別にあります。
一言でいうと、ツアーガイドの方が素晴らしかったです。カヤック初心者でも丁寧にサポートしてくれるので、不安は全く無し!というのは当たり前で、何よりも「楽しみ方」を教えてくれます。
「あそこ、虹が出てますよ」「雲があんな形をしてる」「あそこの空が、あんな色をしてて綺麗ですね」といった具合に、我々と同じ目線で色々な事を見つけ、盛り上げ、教えてくれて、一緒に楽しんでくれます。
おかげで、「綺麗だったなー」だけでなく、上記のようないろんな思い出が出来ました。
もし、仮に天候に恵まれずに曇りだったとしても、、このガイドさんなら、必ずその時の「楽しみ方」を教えてくれて、素敵な思い出を作ってくれると思います。本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました!!

I approached my first SUP with half anxiety and half excitement. After signing the agreement and receiving an explanation from the staff, I was ready to go! At first, I was scared and stayed seated, but surprisingly, I was able to stand up! Be careful if you fall, as your feet won't touch the bottom! I made sure to wear a life jacket! I generally didn't wear a mask! Since you'll get sunburned, I recommend wearing a rash guard! SUP during sunset was amazing! I would definitely do it again if I have the chance! I encourage everyone to try it too!
初めてのSUPで不安半分楽しさ半分で挑みました。同意書にサインをして、お姉さんの説明を受けていざSUPに!怖くて最初は座ったまま乗ってましたが、立ってみると意外と乗れました!落ちると足が底につかなかったので注意!しっかりライフジャケットは着てます!マスクは基本的につけてません!日焼けするのでラッシュガードは着てやるのがおすすめです!サンセットを浴びながらのSUPは最高でした!また機会があったらやります!ぜひ皆さんも!!

It was safe because it was basically shallow, even though I was with small children. I'm also happy about the drone photography and videography. I want to go again.
小さい子供と一緒でしたが、基本的に浅瀬なので安心でした。
ドローンでの写真動画撮影も嬉しいです。
また行きたいです。
Thank you for participating. If you have the opportunity, please come and visit Miyako Island again.

With clear skies and during the low tide of a big tide, I was able to enjoy the best conditions. I had my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in a bay surrounded by wave-dissipating blocks, gliding over the crystal-clear sea. It turned out to be surprisingly easy, and I felt like I was riding on the Nimbus cloud with Son Goku. You can ride standing up or sitting down, both are fine. I even spotted a sea snake swimming below, which was a bit scary. Mashi took a lot of photos, and I have plenty of memories to cherish. I definitely want to try it again!
快晴の中、大潮の干潮時間と言うことで、最高のコンディションで楽しめることが出来ました。
波消しブロックの中の湾で、透き通るような海の上を初めてのSUPを楽しめました。
やってみると意外なほど簡単で、孫悟空のキント雲に乗ってる気分です。立って乗っても、座って乗ってもOK。
下を泳ぐウミヘビも見かけ、ちと怖かった(^^;
まーしーがたくさんの写真を撮ってくれて、思い出がいっぱい残りました。
是非また乗ってみたいです。

The weather was nice, and the colors of the sky reflected on the calm waves of the sea were very beautiful. I was moved by the changing colors of the sky even after the sun had set. I was also able to see the moon. Our group had a total of 8 participants, with 4 pairs of customers. There were some troubles, like a customer losing their paddle, and I think it was tough for the instructor, but everyone was treated kindly. It had a completely different flavor compared to daytime SUP, and I think you wouldn't understand unless you participate. Next time, I would like to bring the kids along as well.
お天気がよく、穏やかな波で海面に映し出す空の色がとてもきれいでした。太陽が沈んだ後も変わりゆく空の色の様子に感動。月も眺めることもできました。我々の組の参加者は2名のお客様が4組、合計8名でした。パドルを失くしたお客様もいたり、トラブルもあり、インストラクターのお兄さんも大変だったと思いますが、皆さんに親切に対応されていました。昼間のsupとは全く違う味わいがあり、参加しないと分からないと思いました。次回は子供達も一緒に参加したいと思います。

Dear YOSHIYUKI,
Thank you for participating! Thank you for your kind words.
It's hard to say exactly, but the nearby island is a nesting site for sea turtles, which increases the chances of seeing them. I hope we can meet them next time!!!
We look forward to your return for a second chance. Thank you very much.
Best regards,
NEWS Arino
YOSHIYUKI様
ご参加ありがとうございました(^^)!
お褒めのお言葉ありがとうございます。
自然の生き物となるため、なんとも言えないのですが
近くの島がウミガメの産卵地となっているため会える確率が高くなっております。
次回こそは会えることを願って!!!
ぜひリベンジお待ちしております(^_^)
ありがとうございました。
