All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

This was my fifth trip to Okinawa, celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. This time, I wanted to change things up a bit and have an experience, so we decided to try kayaking! I’m 58 years old, and I felt a bit anxious on the day of the activity. At the meeting point, we were greeted by our guide, Nishi, who seemed very kind, which put me at ease. It was just my husband and me participating in the experience. After the briefing, we got into the water. At first, it was a little shaky, but I quickly got used to it and smoothly paddled along in the kayak. Nishi provided detailed explanations about everything, and I was moved by the beautiful scenery. Is this what true relaxation feels like? Time flew by, and before we knew it, we were back on land. It was a wonderful time. Thank you, Nishi!

沖縄旅行も5回目、結婚30周年、今回は少し内容を変えて、体験をしたいと、ボート乗ってみたいで、何とカヤックに決定! 私は58才 、当日少し不安も、、、集合場所へ、待っていたのはガイド西さん、優しそうな感じに一安心、体験者は私達夫婦だけ、講習終了後いざ入水、最初少し揺れたが、直ぐに慣れスイスイ進むカヤック、一つ一つ詳しい説明、見る風景に感動、これが本当の癒しの空間？、時間もあっという間に 過ぎ上陸、楽しい時間でした、西さん有難う。

My first airplane ride, my first time in Okinawa, and my first kayaking experience. Everything was fresh and new since it was all my first time. It was fulfilling in terms of whether my elementary school children (my eldest daughter in 5th grade and my son in 2nd grade) could enjoy it. The sunset viewed from the kayak was beautiful. My son described the clouds illuminated by the sunset as grape-colored, banana-colored, and strawberry-colored.

　初めての飛行機、初めての沖縄、初めてのカヤック。初めてずくめで下ので、何もかも新鮮でした。小学生の子供（長女小５、長男小２）が楽しめるかどうかという点で、充実しました。カヤックの上から見る夕日はよかったです。長男は夕日に照らされる雲をぶどう色、バナナ色、イチゴ色などと形容していましたよ

My first kayaking experience was not as difficult as I expected, and with just a little instruction, I was able to paddle. You can see beautiful mangroves and a stunning sunset, and it's very cost-effective, so I highly recommend it.

初めてのカヤックは思ったほど難しくなく、ちょっとのレクチャーで漕げます。マングローブも美しい夕陽も見られるし、とてもコストパフォーマンスが良くオススメです。

We paddled upstream along the river until sunset, while the staff explained about the mangroves and other trees. However, since the environment originally lacked tourist elements, there wasn't much to explain, and it felt like we were just slowly paddling to match the timing of the sunset. The water was stagnant and smelled bad, and the riverbank was a typical residential area, which was a bit disappointing. I had hoped to see the sunset sinking below the horizon, but it seems safety was prioritized due to the waves, and we ended up watching the sunset behind the mountains, which was also disappointing. I understand that safety is the most important thing, so that can't be helped. It's been 20 days since the photos were taken, but they still haven't arrived.

夕日まで川を逆行しながら、スタッフにマングローブや他の樹木の説明を受けた。しかし、もともと観光要素が無い環境だったので、説明いただく対象がなく、ただただ夕日の時間に合わせるためにゆっくり漕ぐように言われ、時間合わせでそうしていた感じがする。水も澱んで臭うし、川横は普通の生活環境だし、すこし残念。夕日も水平線に沈むものを期待していたが、波を見て安全性を優先したためと思われるが、山に沈む夕日になってしまい、これも残念だった。安全は最重要なのでそれは仕方ないと思う。撮ってもらった写真はすでに20日たつがまだ届かない。
