All Reviews for Snorkeling

This tour was absolutely amazing!

The instructor was very kind and cheerful, and it was truly a fun tour filled with laughter. Due to the weather, there was an irregular change from stand-up paddleboarding to canoeing, but I actually think it turned out to be better and was so much fun. I was impressed by how well they handled the weather changes.

We were able to take many wonderful photos that we couldn't have captured ourselves while canoeing and snorkeling, so I've been enjoying looking back at the pictures after the tour. The quality is also top-notch!

Both my partner and I were more than satisfied, and when we visit Ishigaki Island again, we would love to do this again!

We truly made the best memories. Thank you very much!

大大大満足のツアーです！

インストラクターさんとても親切で陽気なかたで、ずっと笑ってばかりの本当に楽しいツアーでした。
天候の関係でs u p→カヌーに変更となるイレギュラーありましたが、むしろそれで良かったと思えるぐらい楽しかったです。
天候のイレギュラーにもきちんと対応してくださり、感動しました🥺

カヌーもシュノーケルも、セルフじゃ撮れないような素敵な写真たくさん撮っていただけたので終わってからも写真見返して楽しんでいます。画質も最高です！

自分も相方も予想以上の大満足で、また石垣島を訪れたときにはまたお願いしたいですす！！

本当に最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました！！

During the limited time in the morning, I was able to experience canoeing while ensuring safety, and in the meantime, I checked the sea conditions, which led to the next snorkeling session.

I was able to see the turtles that I absolutely wanted to see, and I am very satisfied‼️ If I go to Miyako Island again, I would like to request Yūri-kun 🙇

There were also customers from abroad, and the guidance in English was smooth, making it highly recommended for international visitors as well.

午前中という限られた時間の中で、安全確認しながらカヌー体験させてもらい、その間に海の状況など確認して次のシュノーケルに繋いでもらえました。

絶対に見たかった亀もしっかり見れたし大満足です‼️
また、宮古島行ったら、ゆーりくんでお願いしたいです🙇

外国からのお客様もいたのですが、英語での案内もスムーズで海外の方にもとてもおすすめですよ。

Due to the approaching typhoon, the snorkeling trip to Barasu Island that I was looking forward to was canceled, which was very disappointing. However, I was offered an alternative plan and went beach snorkeling instead. I didn't get to see the sea turtle, but I encountered clownfish, an eel, and even a sea snake, which was a bit scary, but it was a lot of fun! I was also given recommendations for great restaurants and enjoyed a delicious lunch. The water buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island was successfully conducted, and I was able to spend a relaxing and enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

台風接近の影響で楽しみにしていたバラス島シュノーケリングがキャンセルになってしまい、とても残念でしたが代替プランをご提案いただきビーチシュノーケリングをしました。ウミガメはニアミスで見られませんでしたが、クマノミやウツボ、少し怖かったですがウミヘビにも遭遇しとても楽しかったです！おすすめのご飯屋さんも教えていただき、美味しいランチが食べられました。由布島の水牛車ツアーも無事催行され、のんびりと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

Thanks to Yamachan's attentive support, I was able to enjoy snorkeling safely and happily! The quality of the photos was also high, and I highly recommend it! 👍

山ちゃんの丁寧なサポートもあり安全に楽しくシュノーケリングする事が出来ました！
写真のクオリティも高く凄くお勧めです👍

I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding!
They took a lot of photos during the activities.
We had a great time chatting about Miyako Island and local stories during the transfer, making both the activity and the journey enjoyable.
I definitely want to use this service again when I travel to Miyako Island! ⭐︎

シュノーケルとサップを体験しました！
アクティビティ中にたくさん写真を撮っていただきました。
送迎中も宮古島の話や地元の話で盛り上がり、アクティビティ中も行き帰りも楽しく過ごせました。
また宮古島に旅行する際には是非利用したいです⭐︎

I went canoeing for the first time on Iriomote Island.
We were in a group, and I was with Matsuchan-sensei's team.
They provided explanations about the mangroves and took photos regularly.
I was worried about keeping up with the canoeing, but it was a leisurely tour that took its time, so it was great.
The weather was nice and hot, but I had a lot of fun!
It became a wonderful memory. (o^^o)

初めての西表島でのカヌーやりました。
グループでの行動で、松ちゃん先生チームでした。
マングローブの説明や写真撮影もマメにしてくれました。
カヌーでついていけるか不安でしたが、ゆっくりと時間かけてのんびりとしたツアーだったのでよかったです。
天気もよく暑かったですが楽しかったです！
良い思い出になりました(o^^o)

My first time in Miyako Island and my second snorkeling experience was filled with anxiety, but Matsura-san, our guide, was incredibly kind and made me feel at ease! The swimming was more extensive and longer than I imagined, but he provided advice at every turn and kept an eye on our movements, allowing us to enjoy it at our own pace! Additionally, I was worried about the location change the day before and whether we would see sea turtles, but he guided us to a spot with a high chance of seeing them. Even with many other customers around, he helped us take beautiful photos safely! Even though we couldn't get close to the sea turtles right away, he patiently waited for the right moment, and we were able to take photos with the turtles successfully! The photos were delivered the same day, and the recommendations for tourist spots in Miyako Island were very helpful! Everyone, including those who weren't our guide, treated us well, and if I have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to request their services!

初めての宮古島、人生で2度目のシュノーケリング体験で不安なことだらけでしたが、担当の松浦さんがとても親切に案内してくださり安心して体験することができました！想像より広範囲で長時間の泳ぎでしたが、都度アドバイスをくださったり、私たちの動きを気にしながら動いてくださったので、自分たちのペースで楽しむことができました ！また、前日に場所変更の連絡があり、ウミガメに会えるのか不安な気持ちもありましたが、会える確率の高いスポットに案内してくださったり、他にもたくさんのお客様がいる中で、安全に綺麗に写真が撮れるよう案内してくだいました！上手くウミガメに近づかことができなくても、時間をかけてチャンスを待ってくださり、ウミガメとの写真を無事に撮ることができました！撮っていただいた写真もその日のうちに届き、その際に宮古島の観光スポットを共有いただけたこと、とっても参考になりました！担当以外の方も良くしていただき、次回宮古島を訪れる機会があればぜひ、こちらでお願いしたいです！

In the morning, I did stand-up paddleboarding, and in the afternoon, I went snorkeling. I made a reservation around 6 PM the day before, but shortly after, I received a call from the staff saying that due to rough seas, we couldn't go to the Phantom Island. However, they changed our plan to snorkeling, and I participated.

During stand-up paddleboarding, the waves were almost non-existent, and it was my first experience, but I didn't fall even once. I was able to paddle while standing and enjoy the scenery. The instructor pointed out a starfish, and I was able to see it. Depending on the weather, other participants were taking sun protection measures with hats, sunglasses, and leggings.

After about an hour and a half for lunch, we went snorkeling. The sea was a bit murky, but I was able to see many colorful fish, which was fun. Perhaps the tours to the nearby islands have clearer waters.

That day, for both lunch and dinner, I went to restaurants recommended by the instructor, and both were delicious. That night, I received photos taken by the instructor via LINE, allowing me to reflect on the memories. At the beach, there's a possibility of dropping your smartphone, so I think it's difficult to take photos by yourself.

The instructors were different for the morning and afternoon. Each shared stories about Ishigaki Island during the ride in the shuttle. The activities were enjoyable without requiring too much physical strength, and there were participants who were around upper elementary school age. It seems that the company also accommodates large groups like school trips.

午前サップ、午後はシュノーケルをしました。
前日18時ごろ予約しましたがその後すぐスタッフの方から電話がかかってきて海が荒れているため、幻の島にはいけないとのことでしたがそのままシュノーケルのプランに変えていただき参加しました。

サップでは、波がほとんど立っておらずはじめての体験でしたが一度も落ちなかったです。立ったままこいで景色を楽しめました。ヒトデもインストラクターの方にあそこにいるよーと教えていただき見ることができました。天候にもよるかと思いますが、他の参加者の方は帽子、サングラス、レギンスなどで日焼け対策されてました。
その後1時間半ほどの昼食を挟んでシュノーケルへ。
海は少し濁ってましたがカラフルな魚がたくさん見れて楽しかったです。もしかしたら離島のツアーの方が海はきれいなのかもしれません。
その日は昼食も夕食もインストラクターのかたのおすすめのレストランにいきましたがいずれも美味しかったです。
参加した日の夜には、インストラクターの方が撮ってくださった写真がラインで送られてきましたので、思い出を振り返ることができました。海辺だとスマホは落としてしまう可能性があるので自分では写真を撮りにくいと思います。
インストラクターさんは午前と午後で別の方でした。それぞれ送迎の車の中で石垣島のお話をしてくださいます。アクティビティはそれほど体力を使うこともなく楽しめましたし小学生高学年くらいの方もいました。
修学旅行生など大きな団体も受け付けている会社さんのようです。

私たちは井上さんと一緒にシュノーケリングをして素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。ビーチと海は美しく、ウミガメを見るチャンスもありました！まだやったことがないなら、このアクティビティをぜひお勧めします。

We had a great time snorkeling with Inoue san.
The beach and the sea were beautiful, we even got the chance to see a turtle !
I would definitely recommend this activity if you have not done it yet.

I was worried about the weather, but it turned out that it didn't rain and we were able to go. I felt very relieved to have an instructor with us. The water was so beautiful that we even saw sea turtles, making it a lifelong memory.

天気が心配でしたが、無事雨も降らずに行けますとのこと　インストラクターの方がついてくれてとっても安心でした　海の中は綺麗すぎて海亀もみれて、一生の思い出になりました

I participated with four friends.
Due to the typhoon, the location was changed, but we were able to see sea turtles and many fish, which was amazing.
I'm very grateful to the two young male staff members for their support.
I want to go to Miyako Island again.

お友達4人と参加
台風の影響で開催場所変更でしたが、ウミガメにも会えて、沢山のお魚も見れて最高でした。
スタッフの若い男性お二人にとてもサポートして頂き感謝です。
又宮古島行きたいです。

I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time with friends in their 20s from Kansai.

While paddling on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) through the mangrove forest, which thrives in water, we had to get off and take a break at one point because the muddy ground was really sticky. Instead of being surrounded by trees, we were enveloped by the mangrove forest by the water's edge, which made us feel very connected to nature, and the gentle rocking on the water was quite pleasant.

As long as you don't fall in, you can safely use your phone in a waterproof case!

As for snorkeling, I couldn't imagine the water temperature in November, which is unusual for Kansai, but thanks to the wetsuit, I only felt cold when I first stepped into the water. We were able to see the clear sea, which is not something you usually encounter, along with many types of fish and corals, and as the title suggests, we even spotted a sea turtle! Since we were basically in the water, I was able to take photos underwater with my phone in a waterproof case!

初石垣島 関西 20代男女
【sup】
水に浸りながら育っているマングローブの森、海水と淡水でできた川のため途中でsupから降り休憩したのですが沼地のようにすごく足を取られました。一面を森ではなく下が水辺のマングローブの森に囲まれとても自然を感じられ、水に揺られとても心地よかったです。
水に落ちなければケースに入れた携帯を持ち込んでも安心して使えます！
【シュノーケル】
11月の海が関西では有り得ないため水温の想像が出来ませんでしたが海に入る前も後もウェットスーツおかげか寒いなどの感想は海に足を入れた時のみでした。普段見ることは出来ない透明な海とたくさんの種類の魚やサンゴが見られ、タイトルのようにウミガメを見ることもできました。
こちらは基本的に海に浸かっているので防水ケースに入れた携帯なら水の中でも写真を撮れました！

I booked a SUP and snorkeling tour at Kabira Bay, but it was canceled due to rough seas. Instead, I was offered a mangrove canoe tour on the Miyara River.

Although the changes in pricing and meeting location were handled the day before, they were very courteous, and I was able to enjoy the tour safely on the day itself, which was great! However, while the original plan was for a full day tour, the mangrove tour ended up being only about an hour long. The guide's stories during the tour were enjoyable, and canoeing was easy, so it was fulfilling but went by quickly. I would love to participate again on a sunny day!

川平湾SUP・シュノーケリングツアーを予約しましたが、海が荒れてしまい中止に。代わりに宮良川でのマングローブカヌーツアーの提案をして頂きました。
金額変更や集合場所など前日での対応でしたが、丁寧にしてもらい、当日も無事楽しむことも出来たのでよかったです！
ただ、1日かけてツアーを行う予定でしたが、マングローブツアーは1時間ほどで終わってしまいます。ツアー中のガイドさんのお話も楽しく、カヌーは簡単に乗れたので、充実していますがあっという間でした。次は晴れた日にも参加したいです！

I joined Matsuura's tour by myself! The explanations were thorough, and I was able to take a lot of photos. The wind was strong, and the weather was quite rough, and I was worried since I had zero snorkeling experience, but thanks to Matsuura, I felt safe and had a great time. I enjoyed it even alone, and I highly recommend it!

1人で松浦さんのツアーに参加しました！
説明も丁寧で写真もたくさん撮ってもらいました。
風が強くかなり天候が荒れていましたし、シュノーケル経験がゼロで心配でしたけど、松浦さんのおかげで安心して楽しめました。
1人でも楽しめたし、オススメします！

私たちはセバスチャンと一緒にマングローブでカヌーを漕いで、とても素敵な時間を過ごしました。彼はとても親切で、この地域についての知識も豊富でした。自然の中で良い時間を過ごしたい人には、ぜひお勧めします！

We had a very lovely time with Sebastian canoeing in the mangrove.
He was very nice and knowledgeable of the area.
I would recommend this to anybody interested in spending good time in nature!

I still can't forget the blue of the sea in Miyako Island. I had the best experiences with both SUP and snorkeling. I definitely want to use these services again when I visit Miyako Island.

宮古島の海のブルーは今でも忘れられません。
SUP、シュノーケリングのどちらとも最高の体験ができました。
また、宮古島を訪れた際は必ず利用したいと思います。

In the morning, I went snorkeling at Ohsaki Beach, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. The snorkeling was originally planned to take place at the Phantom Island, but due to bad weather, it was changed to Ohsaki Beach. I received the notification about the change the day before the tour, and since I didn't know what Ohsaki Beach was like, I was worried about whether I would enjoy it. However, the water was very clear, and I was able to see various fish, including clownfish, which was wonderful.

I was also anxious about snorkeling because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but the tour guide helped me and other participants who were not confident swimmers by pulling us along while we held onto a float. This allowed me to fully enjoy the underwater scenery! (The stand-up paddleboarding location was shallow, so it was fine even for those who are not good at swimming.)

In addition to photos, the tour guide dove down to capture videos of the fish we saw, which became great memories. (Some participants brought their own cameras.)

The tour guides were different in the morning and afternoon, but they carefully explained how to put on and use the equipment, as well as safety precautions. They also kept an eye on the participants' progress, so I felt secure joining the tour. They took many great photos, and that evening, they sent the photos and videos via LINE. (We exchange LINE contacts with each tour guide after the tour.)

For those participating in both the morning and afternoon tours, please note that after the morning tour, there will be a break at your accommodation or the remote island terminal. If your accommodation is far away and you don't have time to change from your swimsuit to clothes, it might be a good idea to bring some clothes for lunch.

During the transfer to the tour locations, the guides also share information about sightseeing spots and recommendations in Ishigaki Island, which enhances the experience. Personally, I found snorkeling to be quite physically demanding, so I think it was good that snorkeling was in the morning and stand-up paddleboarding in the afternoon. Stand-up paddleboarding was enjoyable for beginners as well, as you can move forward by using the wind and the paddle effectively, and there was no risk of sinking.

I had such a fulfilling experience that I would love to use the tour again if I have the opportunity! Thank you very much!

午前は大崎ビーチでシュノーケリング、午後は川平湾でサップをしました。
シュノーケリングは、当初幻の島での実施予定でしたが悪天候のため大崎ビーチでの実施に変更になりました。シュノーケリング場所の変更連絡はツアー前日にあり、大崎ビーチがどのような場所か知らなかったので楽しめるか不安でしたが、海の透明度が高く、クマノミ含む色々な魚を見ることができ、とても良かったです。
また、私は泳ぎに自信がなかったのでシュノーケリングが楽しめるか不安だったのですが、ツアーガイドさんが浮き輪に掴まった私と他に泳ぎに自信がない参加者を終始引っ張って泳いでくださったので、海の中を存分に見て楽しむことができました！(サップ場所は、浅かったので泳ぎが苦手でも問題ないです)
写真に加えて、参加者がその場で見た魚の動画をツアーガイドさんが潜って撮ってくださるのも良い思い出になりました。(自分でカメラを持ち込んでる参加者もいました)

ツアーガイドさんは午前と午後で違う方でしたが、装備の付け方や使い方、注意点を丁寧に教えてくださり、参加者の進捗状況もきちんと見ているので、安心して参加できます。映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、その日の夕方にはLINEで写真と動画を送ってくださります。(ツアー終了後に各ツアーガイドさんとLINE交換します)
午前と午後のツアーに参加される方は、午前のツアーが終わったら送迎可能な宿泊先か離島ターミナルで一度解散になるので、宿泊先が遠く水着から服に着替える時間がない場合はお昼ご飯を食べに行けるよう服を持って行った方がいいのかなと思います。
ツアー先へ移動する道中も石垣島の観光スポットやおすすめ、豆知識を話してくださるのでより石垣島の魅力を知れるのもおすすめです。
個人的にシュノーケリングはとても体力を使ったので、午前がシュノーケリング、午後がサップの順番でよかったと思いました。サップは風の力やオールを上手く使えば進み、沈むこともなかったので初心者でも問題なく楽しめます。
また、機会があればツアーを利用したいと思うくらい、満喫できました！
ありがとうございました！

I had a fulfilling snorkeling experience! I saw a turtle! The sea was beautiful! No problems at all. The boat was great too! They even took photos for me!

充実したシュノーケルができたよ！カメ見れたし！海が綺麗だった！なんの問題もなし。船もよし！写真もとってくれた♪

I started snorkeling at the last possible age and became captivated by it, so I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave this time. I got lost using the navigation from the car address. It's better to follow the shop's directions.

This time, my guide, T, was from the same hometown, and she was cute and very nice. Thanks to her explanations, I made wonderful and fun memories. Plus, since I participated alone, I enjoyed the luxury of a one-on-one experience. The colors of the Blue Cave are something you can't replicate with paint, and I saw various colors depending on the location and angle. It was beautiful.

I also had fun interacting with the fish while feeding them (laughs). The sea is close by, and there are showers and lockers for valuables. I definitely want to go again. Thank you very much!

シュノーケル出来る年齢もギリギリになってから始めて、魅力にハマって今回青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて参加しました。
車の住所からのナビで行くと迷ってしまった。お店の言う通りに行くのが良い。
今回ガイドのTさんが同郷で、可愛くてとても良い人で、彼女の説明で楽しく素敵な思い出が出来ました。そのうえ1人で参加だからマンツーマンと贅沢な待遇。青の洞窟は絵の具では出せない色で、場所や向きで色んな色も見れました。綺麗やったなぁ。
魚とも餌付け(笑)で戯れたりと、楽しかったです。海にも近いし、シャワーや貴重品ロッカーもあります。絶対にまた行きたいと思ってます。またよろしくお願いいたします。

My snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding experience in Miyako Island was enjoyable and safe, even with a typhoon approaching, thanks to the careful attention to safety provided by the guides. Jumping into the crystal-clear sea, I was surrounded by colorful fish, and it was a wonderful moment to feel the beauty of nature. Encountering sea turtles twice was a special surprise, and I was moved by the graceful swimming of the turtles up close. This mystical experience in the ocean was healing for my heart and provided a precious time that made me forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I am also grateful to the guides who supported us to enjoy safely while facing nature. It was an unforgettable experience that makes me want to visit again.

宮古島でのシュノーケリングとサップ体験は、台風が接近している状況でも、安全面に十分配慮して案内してもらえたおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。透き通った海の中に飛び込むと、色とりどりの魚たちが泳ぎ、自然の美しさを肌で感じる素晴らしいひとときでした。そして、2度も海亀に出会えたのは特別な驚きで、間近で見る海亀の悠然とした泳ぎには感動しました。海の中での神秘的な体験に心が癒され、日常の喧騒を忘れさせてくれる貴重な時間でした。自然と向き合いながらも、安全に楽しめるようにサポートしてくれたガイドの方々にも感謝しています。またぜひ訪れたいと感じる、忘れられない体験となりました。

I went on a day trip to Ishigaki Island ✌
The tour we had planned was canceled on the day of, but thank you for accommodating us at such short notice.
Since it was our first experience with SUP, we were quite nervous. While others in the tour were standing and paddling, we were sitting and paddling the whole time, but we were able to enjoy it at our own pace.
The view of Kabira Bay while paddling was truly moving! The emerald green, crystal-clear Kabira Bay was amazing.
The guide mentioned, "This might be the best Kabira Bay of the year," and I really felt glad to have joined this tour!
Also, after the tour, we didn't have any specific plans and were just going to head to the airport, but the guide suggested that since we came all the way to Ishigaki, we should eat Ishigaki beef before leaving! I thought it might be difficult due to time constraints, but the guide recommended a yakiniku restaurant and dropped us off right in front of it, so we were able to enjoy Ishigaki beef before heading back.
Thank you for everything. It turned out to be the best day trip to Ishigaki Island!

日帰りで石垣島に✌
予定していたツアーが中止になり当日、、ほぼ直前の予約だったのですが快く対応して頂きありがとうございました
SUP初体験の2人だったので、、ビビりまくり、、一緒のツアーに参加した方は立って漕いでいる中私達はずっと座って漕いでいましたが私達のペースで楽しむ事が出来ました
SUPを漕ぎながら見る川平湾の景色はもう感動！！
エメラルドグリーンの透き通った川平湾は素晴らしかったです。
ガイドさんが「今年1の川平湾かもしれんな〜」と言われててこのツアーに参加して本当に良かった！！と思いました。
また、ツアー後特に予定を立てておらず空港に行く予定だったのですがせっかく石垣島来たなら石垣牛を食べて帰り！と言って下さったのですが、、時間がギリギリで難しいかもしれないな〜と思っていたのですが、ガイドさんオススメの焼肉屋を紹介して頂きお店の前で降ろして下さったので締めに石垣牛を食べて帰ることが出来ました‍♀️
何から何までありがとうございました。
最高の日帰り石垣島になりました

On October 28th (Tuesday) at 9 AM, we went snorkeling at the Blue Cave. It was mentioned that the Blue Cave might close later due to the typhoon's impact. However, it was a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and after the previous group left, we had the place to ourselves. My sister was delighted when a blue fish bit her while we were feeding the fish. This trip was a reward for my sister after taking care of our mother. It was her first time snorkeling, and we had a wonderful time playing with the fish and enjoying the stunning scenery, which became a treasured memory. Thank you to our very kind and fun guide.

10/28(火)9時
青の洞窟シュノーケル
当日　この後の時間からは青の洞窟閉鎖になるかも？台風の影響？とのことでしたらが
とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。青の洞窟はとても綺麗で前の団体さんが出てからは私たちの貸切で楽しめました。魚の餌やりでは青い魚に噛まれたと姉が嬉しそうにしてましたよ
母の介護終えた姉とのご褒美旅行でした。シュノーケル初の姉と最高の景色　魚さんたちと戯れ童心に返って楽しんだ時間は宝物になりました。
とても親切で楽しいガイドありがとうございました。

I participated in a morning mangrove kayak tour and an afternoon snorkeling tour. It was helpful that they accepted reservations even the night before.

During the morning mangrove kayak tour, we received a briefing on how to paddle, making it enjoyable even for beginners. I recommend wearing a swimsuit and clothes that can get dirty, as you surprisingly get wet from the river water.

The afternoon Blue Cave tour was changed to snorkeling at Ohsaki due to poor sea conditions from the typhoon. Although there was a change, the snorkeling time was longer, and I actually enjoyed it more. There were considerations for those who are not good at swimming, so I felt safe participating.

Additionally, the instructor shared recommendations for restaurants and information about Ishigaki Island during the car ride, making for a fun time! Thank you very much.

午前マングローブカヤック、午後シュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。前日夜の予約でも受付可能だったので助かりました。
午前のマングローブカヤックでは、最初に漕ぎ方のレクチャーがあり、初心者でも楽しむことができました。意外に川の水で濡れるので水着＋汚れてもいい服装をおすすめします。
午後の青の洞窟ツアーは台風影響で海の状態が良くないため、大崎でのシュノーケルへ変更となりました。
変更にはなりましたが、シュノーケルの時間が長く、むしろ楽しむことができたと思います。泳ぎが苦手な方への配慮もあり安心して参加できました。
また、インストラクターの方は移動中車内てもオススメのお店や、石垣島について紹介してくださり楽しい時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました。

Snorkeling was a wonderful experience at the offshore point, especially with the weather being so pleasant. The only slight disappointment was that the coral seemed to be lacking vitality. Perhaps it's due to global warming and the high sea temperatures. This experience made me think about what I can do to help protect the environment. The Phantom Island is incredibly beautiful. It's definitely worth a visit.

シュノーケリングは沖合のポイントで、しかも天気にも恵まれてとても気持ちよく体験できました。少し残念なのは、サンゴが元気のない感じだったことぐらいですね。温暖化で海水温が高すぎるのでしょうか。環境を守るために自分にできることはと考える体験となりました。幻の島は、とにかくキレイですよ。一見の価値が大アリです。

I reserved a canoe at Kabira Bay, but I received a notification the day before that due to strong winds, it would be changed to mangrove canoeing. I was informed that I could cancel, but since I was already there, I decided to experience the mangrove canoeing.

The meeting point's parking lot was a bit hard to find as there were no signs, so I arrived a little late, but the guide was very kind and provided smooth assistance. Once we entered the river, the guide taught us various things about the mangroves as we progressed, and I felt that they were always considerate and focused on safety, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

One personal miscalculation was that I thought I wouldn't get wet as long as I didn't fall from the canoe, but I ended up getting my legs soaked when entering the river, and the canoe was wet from the start, so I got wet even without falling. I was advised to wear clothes that could get wet, so I brought a change of clothes, and it wasn't a problem, but I wish I had participated in a swimsuit with a rash guard instead of regular sportswear.

Although it wasn't at Kabira Bay, I enjoyed it thoroughly and actually think it was better to be in the mangroves. Thank you very much.

川平湾カヌーを予約しましたが、前日に風が強い予報とのことで、マングローブに変更との連絡をいただきました。キャンセルもできると案内いただきましたが、せっかくなのでマングローブカヌーを体験しました。
集合場所の駐車場が看板などもないため分かりにくく、到着が少し遅れてしまいましたが、ガイドさんも親切な方で、スムーズに案内いただきました。
川に入ってからも、色々とマングローブについてを教えていただきながら進み、終始親切で安全にも配慮されていると感じ、安心して体験できました。
個人的に誤算だったのは、カヌーから落ちなければ濡れないと思っていましたが、川に入る際に膝下まで水に浸かるのと、はじめからカヌーの中が濡れていていたので、落ちなくても濡れたという点です。濡れてもいい服で参加するようにと案内があったので着替えも持参しており、問題はありませんでしたが、普通のスポーツウェアではなく、水着にラッシュガードなどで参加すればよかったと思いました。
川平湾ではなくなってしまいましたが、十分に楽しめましたし、寧ろマングローブで良かったのではと思っています。
ありがとうございました。

Our guide provided a very safe and wonderful experience on Kabira Bay. He made sure we were comfortable and guided us out of the strong wind. I only understand a little Japanese and he made sure I felt included and was explaining in both English and Japanese. He even shared Ishigaki trivia and pointed out his favorite spots along the way. Highly recommend for visitors to experience the SUP tour on Kabira Bay if you are solo or in a group.

I had a very fulfilling time.
I was very satisfied to see so many beautiful fish.
The guide, Yume, who is a cute girl, was the best! ★
Thank you for checking carefully to see if I was keeping up.
When I come back to Iriomote Island, I look forward to your guidance again. I will cherish the wonderful photos as well. ★

とっても充実した時間になりました。
キレイな魚がいっぱい見れて大満足です。
可愛い女子のユメちゃんのガイドは最高でした★
きちんと付いてこれてるか、細かく確認下さりありがとうございました。
また、西表島に来た時はまた、宜しくお願いいたします。素敵なお写真も 。大切にします★

I signed up for Sunrise SUP, but due to strong winds from the typhoon, we ended up going canoeing instead. Still, I was really glad to be out on the water. The instructor mentioned that the colors we saw are only visible after strong winds, and it was a wonderful sunrise with colors I had never seen before! Thank you very much.

サンライズSUPで申し込みましたが、台風の影響による強風により、カヌーでの催行となりました。それでも海にでれて本当に良かったです。インストラクターの方が強風の後じゃないと見れない色だとおっしゃってましたが、これまでに見たことのないような素晴らしい朝焼けの色でした！ありがとうございました。

I made a last-minute reservation the night before, but they contacted me and provided assistance. It was drizzling a bit, but the weather cleared up, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing canoe experience! The photos they took were also beautiful!

前日夜に急遽予約しましたが、連絡くださり対応していただきました。小雨も降っていましたが、晴れてきてゆったりカヌーを楽しむことができました！
撮っていただいた写真もきれかったです！

I was brought to Ishigaki by my son and his wife just before turning 60. Our original plans had to change due to a typhoon, but I really wanted to do the mangrove kayaking, so I made a last-minute reservation the day before. Despite the unfortunate weather, I had a very enjoyable time. We were probably the oldest couple among the participants that day, but we didn't have any issues; in fact, there was even a mishap that left us wetter than anyone else, which became a great memory. I'm glad we were able to take a lot of photos. Since we couldn't go snorkeling and finished early, we went to the restaurant recommended by our instructor for both lunch and dinner. The food there was also very delicious, and we had a fulfilling day in Ishigaki, despite the approaching typhoon. Thank you very much.

60歳を目前にして息子夫婦に石垣に連れてきてもらいました。
元々の予定は台風により変更せざるを得ませんでしたが、マングローブカヤックはどうしてもやりたかったので、前日に急遽こちらを予約しました。
生憎の天気でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
恐らく当日の参加者の中で一番の年長者夫婦でしたが、何も困ることはなく、むしろ誰よりも濡れてしまうようなハプニングもあり、いい思い出になりました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただけてよかったです。
シュノーケルができず早く終わったので、インストラクターさんにおすすめしていただいたご飯屋さんに昼も夜も食べにいきました。そちらもとても美味しく、台風が近づいているとは思えないほど充実した石垣での1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。
