All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

I had never kayaked before, and since my children are small, I was a bit unsure, but I decided to sign up for sea kayaking this time. I had some small worries, but they taught us very carefully, and they also spoke to my children a lot. At first, they were a bit shy, but by the end, they had big smiles on their faces. There were few people around, making it feel like a private beach, and it was the best experience!

カヤックの漕ぎ方自体やった事がなく、子供も小さいのでどうかな？と思いながらも今回シーカヤックに申込みました。小さな不安はありましたが、凄く丁寧に教えてくださり、また子供にもよく話しかけてくれて最初はモジモジしてましたが終わりの頃には良い笑顔に変わっていました。人も少なくまるでプライベートビーチのようで、最高の体験が出来ました！

This time, I enjoyed a day course of sea turtle snorkeling and SUP with my female friend.

We gathered at the Ingyā parking lot at 10:30 and started with the SUP experience. After receiving an explanation in the parking lot, we headed to the beach wearing swimsuits, rash guards, and marine shoes if we had them, keeping our belongings light with just drinks. I forgot my sunglasses and hat in the car, and I mentioned to my friend that I should have brought them. Since I didn't have marine shoes, I borrowed a pair, and the staff member in charge said he would take photos with a GoPro, so I didn't bring my iPhone!

There were some waves, possibly due to a typhoon approaching the Philippines, but the beach was relatively empty, and I felt we could enjoy ourselves at our own pace.

The SUP experience ended around noon. We took a break for lunch, and my friend and I went to a nearby Marukichi Shokudō, where we waited for about 30 minutes. However, the turnover was surprisingly quick! By the time we finished eating before 2 PM, they had sold out of the popular No. 1 dish, sōki soba, so I was really glad we got to try it.

We gathered again at 2:30 for the sea turtle snorkeling experience. Originally, we were supposed to meet at Shinjo Beach, but due to the waves that day, we met at Shigira Beach instead. The parking was a paid lot costing 1,000 yen. (I mistakenly thought there might be a free parking lot, so I got a bit lost and had to contact the staff member for help.)

That day, it was difficult to encounter sea turtles due to the waves, but at the very end, a sea turtle appeared! I was so moved to see a sea turtle for the first time. (Some others in the same group were unable to see any sea turtles.) We were in the water for over an hour, but it felt surprisingly short, and I had a really enjoyable time.

We probably dispersed around 4 PM, but the next day, I received photos and videos taken with the GoPro from the staff member!

Overall, it was a perfect day, scoring 100 out of 100!!! Thank you very much!!!

今回は、ウミガメシュノーケリング＋SUPの1日コースで女友達と一緒に楽しみました

10時半にインギャー駐車場集合、まずはSUP体験をしました。
駐車場で説明を受け、水着やラッシュガード、マリンシューズがある人は履き、手荷物も飲み物くらいで身軽な状態でビーチへ向かいました。サングラスや帽子を車に忘れてしまったので、持ってくれば良かったねと友達と話していました
私はマリンシューズを持っていなかったので貸してもらい、写真撮影も担当のお兄さんがGoProで撮ったものを下さるとのことだったので自分のiPhoneは持って行きませんでした！

台風がフィリピンに近づいてることもあり？少し波がありましたがビーチの利用客は比較的少なく、マイペースに楽しむことが出来たと感じました☺️

SUP体験は12時頃に終わりました。
各自自由のお昼ご飯休憩を挟みました。
私は友達と近くの丸吉食堂に行きましたが、30分ほど待ったかな、、でも回転率は思いの外早かったです！私達が14時前に食べ終わった頃には売り切れになっていたので、人気No.1のソーキそば
を食べることが出来て本当に良かったです

14時半ウミガメシュノーケリング体験の為集合。
本来は新城海岸集合予定だったそうですが、この日は波の関係でシギラビーチ集合でした。
駐車場は1000円かかる有料駐車場でした。
（勝手に無料駐車場があるのかなと思っていたので、少し道に迷ってしまい担当のお兄さんに連絡して解決しました✨）

この日は波もあったのでなかなかウミガメに出会うことが難しい日でしたが、最後の最後に現れてくれたウミガメがおり✨
初めてウミガメに会った私はとっても感動しました
（同じチームでまわっていた他の方の中にはウミガメに会うことができない方もいました）
1時間以上海の中にいたそうですが、そんなに長くいたのかと驚くくらい短く感じ、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました

恐らく16時頃に解散しましたが、翌日には担当のお兄さんからGoProで撮影した写真や動画をいただきました！

全体を通して、100点満点の1日となりました！！！ありがとうございました！！！

Thanks to the very attentive guidance from staff member Nakamura, I was able to see sea turtles safely! To take beautiful photos with the turtles, it's important to avoid stirring up the sand on the ocean floor. I was thoroughly instructed on these precautions in advance, which helped me capture the best photos. In addition to the sea turtles, I also got to see clownfish and coral, creating wonderful memories. Thank you for providing such great experiences!

スタッフの中村さんが大変丁寧にガイドしてくださったおかげで、無事に海亀を見ることができました！亀との綺麗な写真を撮るためには、海底の砂が舞い上がらないようにしなければなりません。こういった注意事項も事前に入念に指導してくださったので、お陰様で最高の写真になりました。また、海亀以外にもクマノミやサンゴも見せていただき、良い思い出になりました良い思い出をご提供してくださり、この度はありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of four. Taro, who provided bright and polite explanations, was the best guide. My husband, who loves power spots, was very satisfied.

It was my first time in a limestone cave, and it was truly mystical and wonderful.

Thank you very much.

家族4人で参加させて頂きました。
明るく丁寧な説明の太郎さんは最高のガイドでした
パワースポットが大好きな主人は大満足

鍾乳洞は初めてでしたが神秘的で本当に良かったです

ありがとうございました。

We participated as two families, and everyone at the store, including the instructors, was very nice. It was great that the kids, who were kayaking for the first time, were able to enjoy it!

2家族で参加しましたが、レクチャー含めお店の方も良い方ばかりでした。
初めてカヤックをする子ども達も楽しめて良かったですー

It was great that we could all change together in one place as a family. The magic hour was also very beautiful. I want to participate again next year!

着替える場所など、家族でまとめて着替えたりできたので良かったです。
マジックアワーも、とても綺麗でした。
来年、また参加したいです！

The guide was very attentive, and I was able to witness the best sunset! I was anxious since it was my first time paddleboarding, but they continuously checked in on me, and I gradually got used to it. The clouds and sky after the sun set were also mystical, and I was able to enjoy a pleasant time. They shared trivia about the bridge and stars, allowing me to experience a new side of Miyako Island. The location was more mystical than during the day, and with the comfortable evening sunlight, I was able to relax. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience!

スタッフのお兄さんのガイドがとても丁寧で、最高のサンセットを拝むことができました♪ 初めてのサップで不安でしたが、随時声をかけてくださったので次第に慣れていきました。夕陽が沈んだ後の雲や空も神秘的で、心地よい時間を過ごすことができました。橋や星のトリビアも教えてくださり、宮古島の新たな一面も感じることができました。日中のサップよりも神秘的ならロケーションと過ごしやすい夕方の日差しで、リラックスした時間を過ごすことができました。この度は本当にありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of four with our 5-year-old and 7-year-old children. We gathered at Shinjo Beach for snorkeling at 8:30 and were able to park in the free parking lot without any issues, then joined the tour. They provided a floatation device that allowed our 5-year-old, who isn't a strong swimmer, to safely enjoy looking at the sea, which made it a lot of fun. We were able to see sea turtles and colorful fish, making the time fly by. We disbanded briefly before 10:30 to grab a bite to eat.

For the canoe and SUP experience, we gathered at Ingyamarine Garden at 12:00, and our family split up to try both activities. It was our first time on a SUP, but my husband and our 7-year-old quickly got the hang of standing and paddling. The location was fantastic, and we saw pink corals and rock crabs. An hour passed in no time, and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mr. Nakamura, who guided us, provided clear and polite explanations and was great at encouraging everyone! Thank you for a wonderful time for our family! We would love to join the same tour again in a few years.

　4人家族、5歳と7歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました。シュノーケルは8:30に新城海岸集合で無事無料駐車場に駐車でき、ツアーに参加。泳ぎが苦手な5歳の子供でも海が覗ける浮き輪を貸していただけたので、とても楽しめました。ウミガメも見られたし、カラフルな魚も夢中で見つけられたので、時間が過ぎるのがあっという間でした。10:30前に一度解散し腹ごしらえへ。
　カヌーとSUP体験はインギャーマリンガーデンに12:00集合し、家族で分かれてどちらも体験しました。初SUPだったのですが、夫も7歳の子どもも立って漕ぎ出すのに全く時間はかかりませんでした。もちろんロケーションも最高で、ピンクの珊瑚や岩ガニなどもみられました。一時間があっという間に過ぎて家族全員満喫することができました。
　教えてくださった中村さんはわかりやすく、丁寧な説明で、なおかつ褒め上手！家族みんなに楽しい時間をありがとうございました！また数年後にぜひ同じツアーに参加したいです。

It was my first experience with SUP, so I was nervous, but before going out to sea, there was a simple lecture on how to use the paddle on land, which made it easy to challenge myself even as a beginner! The sea and the sunset were incredibly beautiful, and depending on the time, I could see various landscapes, from an orange sky to a pink sky, making it the best experience. Additionally, the guide was very kind and friendly, which made it enjoyable to participate, and they took beautiful photos as well. I highly recommend this activity!

SUPははじめての体験だったので緊張していましたが、海に出る前に陸でパドルの使い方などの簡単なレクチャーがあり、はじめてでも安心して挑戦することができました！海も夕日もとっても綺麗で、時間によってオレンジ色の空だったり、ピンク色の空など様々な景色を見ることができ、最高の体験になりました。また、ガイドさんがとっても親切かつフレンドリーな方だったので、楽しく参加することができ、写真も綺麗に撮っていただきました。とてもオススメのアクティビティです！

It was my first time doing SUP and watching the sunset in Miyako Island. The weather was nice from the morning, and I was a bit tired from the sun, but the gathering at around 6:00 PM was refreshing, and it was the best time swaying on the waves. The sunset viewed from the sea was amazing. The guide was happily taking photos, which was also fun. I definitely want to participate again. I highly recommend it!

宮古島では初めてのSUP、初めてのサンセットでした。
朝から天気が良く日差しにいささか疲れていましたが、18:00過ぎの集合で、涼しく、波に揺られて最高な時間でした。海から観る最高のサンセット。ガイドのお兄さんが楽しそうに写真を撮ってくださりそれもまた楽しかったです笑
またぜひ参加したいです。おススメです！

I am very satisfied with the experience, which exceeded my expectations. After receiving a briefing and borrowing marine shoes and life jackets in the parking lot, we walked to the kayak launch area. With only four small groups, they took the time to carefully take photos of each group. The staff member Yuto was a fun person who engaged with every group, easing our nerves with jokes, which helped create a friendly atmosphere for conversation among the groups. After a lecture on how to paddle the kayak, we paddled for about ten minutes to the entrance of the cave. Inside the cave, the water was cold and the space felt mystical. I was scared to jump in at the end, so I asked to start from a lower spot, but I appreciated that everyone could participate comfortably. There were some sharp stalactites overhead, and even with a handheld light, the ground was dark, so there was a risk of slipping or cutting yourself; it might be better to wear clothing with less exposure. Overall, it wasn't too strenuous, but I think it would be wise for elderly individuals or those with concerns about their legs and back to consult in advance for peace of mind.

They also sent the photos via LINE, and since we usually have few family pictures, it created wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

I highly recommend this tour.

期待以上の体験が出来てとても満足しています。駐車場でマリンシューズやライフジャケットを貸していただき説明を受けてから徒歩でカヤック乗り場へ。4組の少人数なので丁寧に一組ずつ写真撮影をしていただきました。スタッフのゆうとさんはどのグループにも満遍なく声をかけて冗談をまじえながら緊張をほぐして下さる楽しい方で、お陰でグループ同士でも会話が生まれるなど和やかな雰囲気でツアーを体験できました。カヤックの漕ぎ方などのレクチャーの後10分ほど漕いで鍾乳洞入口へ。鍾乳洞の中は水が冷たく神秘的な空間でした。最後飛び込むのが怖くて低い場所からにしてもらいましたが、ひとりひとり無理なく参加できるのもいいなと思いました。頭上の鍾乳石がやや鋭利な箇所もあったり、足元は手持ちライトがあっても暗いので滑ったり切ったりと怪我をしてしまうこともあるかもしれず、なるべく露出が少ないウェアにした方がいいかもしれません。基本的にはそこまでハードではないですが、ご年配の方や足腰に不安がある方は事前にご相談された方が安心かなと思いました。

写真もLINEで送って頂けて、家族で写っているものが普段少ないのでとっても素敵な思い出ができました。本当にありがとうございました。

おすすめのツアーです。

This time, we participated as a family of five. I was a bit worried since we had three children, including elementary school students and a preschooler, but they explained everything thoroughly, and we were able to start paddling right away.

The staff shared various stories with us, including the true meaning of the name "mangrove" and the origins of the weeds along the riverbank, while we leisurely paddled until we reached the estuary. Fortunately, in front of us was a bright red sunset, and behind us was a large rainbow. Swaying gently, I was truly moved by the wonderful scenery.

At the end, we paddled a bit in the darkness, which felt like a little adventure and was fun.

However, although it was easy, we had a slight mishap with the member arrangement. It was me (a man), two five-year-olds, my wife, and two elementary school students (sixth and fourth grade), but the three-person kayak was a bit heavy and difficult to maneuver, so we struggled a bit. I thought it might have been better to have just me, the five-year-old, and the fourth grader together. Even though the three-person kayak was heavy, I believe one person could have handled it just fine. Well, this may vary from person to person, so it's hard to say.

In any case, it was more enjoyable and moving than I expected, and of course, the staff's service was polite and fun. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.

今回家族5人で参加しました。
子供が3人で小学生と保育園児なので大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、丁寧に説明してもらい、すぐに漕ぎ出すことができました。
お店の方に、マングローブという名前の本当の意味や、川沿いになる雑草の由来まで、いろんな話を教えてもらいながら、ゆったりと漕いでいるうちに、河口に到着。
運のいいことに前には真っ赤な夕日が、後ろには大きな虹が出ていて、ゆらゆらと揺られながら、本当に素晴らしい景色に感動しました。
最後は少し暗闇の中を漕いでいくのですが、それもちょっとした冒険のようで楽しかったです。

ただ、簡単だったとはいえ、メンバー割は少々失敗しました。
私（男）と5歳児の二人、妻と小学生（6年と4年）だったのですが、3人艇は少々重く、操縦が難しかったようで、なかなかてこずってました。自分と5歳児と4年生の3人にしたほうが良かったではないかと思いました。
3人艇が重いとは言え、一人でも十分動かせたはずなので。
ま、このあたりは個人差があるので何とも言えませんが。

ともかく、予想以上に楽しく感動的で、もちろん、お店の方々の対応も丁寧で楽しく、本当におススメです。
ありがとうございました。

We participated with our 7-year-old and 10-year-old. It was our first time canoeing, and I was anxious about the preparations, but I received a phone call the day before, and they kindly answered all my questions, which made me feel very reassured.

On the day of the event, our 10-year-old got seasick on the ferry and unfortunately didn't recover for the rest of the day. Since it was just our family, they were very attentive to our child's condition and adjusted the pace, allowing us to move comfortably.

Canoeing was incredibly fun! When we reached the waterfall, our 7-year-old, who usually gets scared and doesn't want to go down slides, jumped into the water and had a great time playing energetically. The handmade Yaeyama soba we had there was warm and truly delicious. The pork was homemade by the wife, and it was tender and fantastic!

In the end, considering the children's condition, we decided not to go to Yubujima and took an early ferry back. They told us about Yamaneko Park and kindly drove us there. This park is a great place to relax, and it's close to Ohara Port. Our older child was able to lie down and sleep soundly until the ferry, which really improved their mood. The younger one found the Yamaneko slide a bit scary and gave up halfway, but they had a lot of fun playing in the park.

I apologize for the sudden health issues, but they handled everything very kindly, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I would be happy to try again if possible.

7歳、10歳の子連れで参加しました。カヌーは初めてで、どういった準備が正しいのか不安でしたが、前日にお電話を頂き、丁寧に質問に答えて頂いてとても安心しました。
当日は、10歳の子がフェリーで酔ってしまい、以後残念ながらずっと体調が快復しませんでした。今回は私達家族のみでしたので、とても細やかに体調を気遣って頂き、ペースも合わせて下さり無理のない動きが出来ました。

カヌーは最高に楽しかったです!滝つぼに着くと、7歳の子は普段は怖がってスライダーも滑りたがらない子ですが、この日はいっぱい水に飛び込んで本当に元気に楽しく遊べました。
ここで頂いた手作り八重山そばは温かくて、本当に美味しかったです。ソーキは奥様の手作りで、トロトロで最高でした!

結局、子どもの体調を考えて、由布島には渡らず早めのフェリーで帰る事にしました。ヤマネコパークがありますよと教えて頂き、そこまで送って貰いました。ここは本当にゆっくりできる公園で、大原港からも近く、上の子はフェリーまで横になってぐっすり眠れたので、かなり気分が改善できました。下の子も、ヤマネコの滑り台は怖くて途中でリタイアしましたが、公園で沢山遊べました。

急な体調不良でご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、とても丁寧に対応して頂いて、良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。またリベンジ出来たら嬉しいです。

I participated in the half-day course at the Pumpkin Cave on August 23rd!

Our guide, Yuma, was very interesting and kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable!

As a beginner in canoeing, there were some mishaps, and I apologize to my teammates for any trouble caused, but I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Miyako Island!

Thank you for everything!

8月23日にパンプキン鍾乳洞の半日コースに参加させて頂きました！

ガイドのゆうまさんがとても面白くて優しかったのでより一層楽しむ事が出来ました！

カヌー初心者だったのでハプニングありで同じチームの方々にご迷惑をお掛けしましたが又宮古島に来る際には是非参加したいと思います！

色々とありがとうございました！

It was my first time trying sea kayaking, and I was a bit worried, but both kids and adults had a great time!

Our guide, Keikun, taught us how to paddle the kayak carefully and explained about the Pumpkin Cave, which was very educational. Thank you!

The fact that you can only enter the cave from the sea adds to the sense of adventure!

Even my timid child seemed to enjoy it. It's a mysterious place where fresh water springs up in the ocean.

They also take photos at various points, so you can focus on the experience! If you're going to Miyako Island, I highly recommend it! It's definitely worth it!

シーカヤック初挑戦ですこし心配でしたが
子どもも大人もすごく楽しめました！

ガイドのけいくんが
丁寧にカヤックの漕ぎ方を教えてくれたり、
パンプキン鍾乳洞の説明をしてくれたりで
お勉強になりました。ありがとうございました！

鍾乳洞に入るのに
海からしか入れないという地形が
探検してる感あります！

ビビリな子どもでも楽しかったみたいです。
海なのに湧水が出てたり、不思議な場所です。

ポイントで写真も撮ってくれるので
体験に集中できます！
宮古島に行く方は是非！行く価値アリです！

Snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning.
In the afternoon, we did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding.
It was a full-day course, and it ended so quickly because we had so much fun.
Our guide was Gakki.
Her powerful guidance was at just the right pace—not too fast and not too slow!
Thanks to her, we talked about so many things throughout the day about the ocean and the mangroves, making it an incredibly enjoyable day!
I made great memories on my first visit to Iriomote Island!

朝からバラス島シュノーケリング。
お昼からはマングローブsup。
一日コースでしたが楽しくあっという間に終わりました。
案内してくれたのはガッキーさん。
パワフルな彼女の案内ははやすぎず暇すぎず丁度良いスピードでした！
お陰様で海もマングローブも色んな事を終始お話ししてもらえてめっちゃくちゃ楽しい１日でした！
初めての西表島にいい思い出ができました！

I participated with my son (4th grade) and we had a great time all day! There were no complaints or issues. I highly recommend it. According to my son, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Ishigaki Island. If I had to mention something... the canoe tour gets your backside wet. It's brown. The cave tour requires you to wait under the blue sky. Everyone ends up sweating while waiting...

息子（小4）と父の二人で参加です。
終日、楽めましたよ！！特に不満もなく問題もないです。オススメです
息子曰く、今回の石垣島の一番は本件のツアーだったようです。
強いて言うと、、
カヌーツアーはお尻濡れます。茶色いです。
洞窟ツアーは青空のもと待ちます。皆様、汗だくになりながら待ちます。。

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with family in Miyako Island. When I asked what was the most fun part of our 3-night, 4-day trip during our last meal, everyone said, "Pumpkin Hall!" Especially, our guide Kei was really attentive, and our family praised him highly. With such careful service, it was an experience that exceeded our expectations, so I will definitely recommend it to everyone!

Even though we were in Miyako Island, we should have experienced this much earlier. Considering the possibility that we may not be able to participate again, I recommend joining as soon as possible.

結婚20周年記念日で、宮古島に家族できました。
3泊4日の最終日の食事の際に1番楽しかったのなに？ってきくと、パンプキンホール！との事。
特に担当してくれたけいくんが本当に対応がよくて、家族から絶賛でした。
丁寧な対応で、期待以上のツアーなので、みんなに宣伝します！

これほど宮古島にきてるのに、もっとはやく体験すべきでした。
保存を考え、今度入ることができない可能性もあるので、早めの参加をおすすめします。

I signed up for snorkeling, and the visibility was even better than I expected; the time flew by! I was able to see sea turtles, and the staff took photos and sent them to me, so I was satisfied to have those memories captured. When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to sign up again!

シュノーケルを楽しみに申し込みましたが予想以上に透明度がすごく、あっという間の時間でした！ウミガメも見れたし、スタッフの方が写真撮って送ってくれたので思い出を写真で残すことができて満足！石垣島にもう一度くる時はまた申し込みたいなと思います！

I had a great time. After the start, I forgot to bring my paddle and had to wait for someone to bring it to me, but I think it was good that they extended the time because of that. There were many small children participating, so I felt it was difficult for one instructor to pay attention to everyone. I think it's better for parents to stay close to their children during the activity. The weather was nice, and it hardly rained, so overall, I was able to enjoy myself.

楽しかったです。開始後にパドルを持ってくるのをわすれて持ってきてもらう時間があり、少し待つことになりましたが、その分延長していただくことができたので良かったかと思います。小さいお子さんが多く参加していたので、全員に注意がいかずインストラクター1人での対応は難しいのではと思いました。子どもと参加される方は親がきちんとついてあげる方がいいと思います。天気も良く、雨はほとんど降らなかったので全体的には楽しむことが出来ました。

The diving where I met a sea turtle was great, but above all, the Pumpkin Cave was amazing. It was an experience that you absolutely cannot enjoy without a wonderful guide, and I recommend it for those who are physically fit!

SUP、ウミガメに会えたダイビングも良かったですが、何よりパンプキン鍾乳洞はすごかったです。
素晴らしいガイドさんなしでは絶対に味わえない体験で、体力ある方にはおすすめです！

We participated in a one-day tour as a family of four. In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Ingyamarine Garden, and in the afternoon, we moved to Shinjo Coast for snorkeling. We intended to do both SUP and kayaking, but there was a miscommunication (even during our correspondence with VELTRA and when confirming with the shop the day before...), so we ended up doing only SUP. I was a bit worried since we have small children, but the waves were calm in the bay, so they were able to ride on the parents' SUP and join in. The older child got close to the guide, who pulled them along at speed on the SUP, and they also learned how to dive for snorkeling, which they really enjoyed. We were satisfied to see turtles and clownfish as well. In addition to commemorative photos at the points, we could also ask for pictures during our free time.

1日ツアーに家族4人で参加しました。午前はインギャーマリンガーデンでSUP、午後は新城海岸に移動してシュノーケルをしました。SUPとカヤックのつもりでしたが、うまく伝わっておらず（VELTRAさんとのやりとり＆前日確認時にもショップさんと会話したのですが。。。)全部SUPになりました。小さい子供がいるので大丈夫かなと思いましたが、湾内で波も穏やかだったので親のSUPに乗って一緒に出来ました。上の子はガイドさんに懐いて、SUPをスピード出して引っ張ってもらったり、シュノーケルも潜り方教えてもらったりですごい楽しんでいました。カメやニモも見れて満足でした。ポイントでの記念撮影の他、自由時間に声をかけると写真も撮ってもらえました。

I participated in a one-day tour. There were about 10 participants in 4 to 5 groups for one guide. In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding at Ingyamarine Garden, and in the afternoon, we went snorkeling at Shinjo Coast. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to enter the sea from the parking lot and receive a briefing, and the tour lasted about 40 minutes. After the tour, we took group photos and then dispersed at the parking lot.

As for important notes:
- Each participant needs to travel to the meeting point by rental car, and we will receive information about the meeting point the day before.
- Lunch is also on your own, but many shops are still closed even though the morning tour ends around 10:30.
- At Shinjo Coast, the parking lot was full, which took time to enter, and there was also a parking fee of 1,000 yen.

1日ツアーに参加しました。ガイドさん1人に対して、参加者は4～5組の10人位でした。午前はインギャーマリンガーデンでSUP、午後は新城海岸でシュノーケルをしました。いずれも駐車場から海にエントリーおよび事前説明に15～20分、ツアーが40分位、ツアー後にグループごとに写真撮影し、駐車場で解散でした。
注意事項として、
・集合場所へは各自レンタカーで移動で、前日に集合場所の連絡もらいます。
・お昼も各自で取るのですが、午前のツアーが10:30頃に終わるもののお店がまだ開店していないところも多いです。
・新城海岸は駐車場がいっぱいで入るまで時間がかかったのとともに駐車場料金も1000円必要でした。

I participated in the SUP tour and sea turtle snorkeling! I was supposed to receive a call the day before, but there was no contact by 5 PM, so I reached out myself. The staff at the reception seemed unaware of my reservation, which made me quite anxious. They said they would get back to me, but I ended up receiving a call at 7 PM. I wish they had informed me if it was going to take that long.

As for the activities, the SUP tour in the morning was my first experience, and I was worried about whether I could stand up, but in the end, I managed to do it and had a lot of fun. There was a staff member at the back who provided helpful advice on how to paddle, which was very clear and easy to understand.

During snorkeling, it was low tide, so the coral reefs were very close, and I was able to see colorful fish, which was truly moving. I even encountered a sea turtle, and I was very satisfied. Although I was anxious about the communication issue, the activities themselves were fantastic!

SUPツアーとウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました！！
前日に連絡が来るはずが17時になっても連絡がなく、こちらから連絡をしましたが、受付の方が予約を把握していないのか色々と不安になりました。折り返しの連絡をくれるということでしたが、結局連絡がきたのが19時でこんな時間になるなら一言言って欲しかったです。

肝心のアクティビティですが、
午前中はSUPツアーで、初めてのSUPなので乗れるか心配でしたが最終的には立つこともできとても楽しかったです。
後方にもスタッフさんが付き、乗り方のアドバイス等も丁寧に教えてくださり分かりやすかったです。
シュノーケリングは、ちょうど干潮だったのでサンゴ礁がとても近く色とりどりの魚も見れて、とても感動しました。ウミガメとも遭遇できて大満足でした。
連絡の件で不安になりましたが、アクティビティ自体は最高でした♪

I experienced SUP and snorkeling. It was my first time doing SUP, but the staff were kind and taught me carefully, so I was able to do it well right away! The scenery at Ingyamarine Garden was also wonderful, allowing me to experience the essence of Okinawa.

I did snorkeling at Shinjo Beach, and I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles! I thought it would be lucky if I saw one, so I was extremely excited! The staff also explained how to do it carefully at the beginning, so I think beginners can participate with confidence.

Overall, it was a very satisfying day. Thank you!

SUPとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
SUPは初めてでしたがスタッフの方が優しく丁寧に教えてくださり、すぐに上手くできるようになりました！
インギャーマリンガーデンの景色も素晴らしく沖縄らしさを体験することができました。
シュノーケリングは新城海岸で行いましたが、なんとウミガメは４匹も出会うことができました！会えたらラッキーぐらいに考えていたのでテンション上がりまくりです！
こちらも最初に丁寧にやり方を教えてくださるので初心者の方も安心して参加できると思います。
とにかく大満足な一日でした、ありがとうございました！

I encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling in the Blue Cave. The tour guide was also very kind, making it a wonderful memory!

青の洞窟でのシュノーケリング時にウミガメに遭遇しました。
また、ツアーガイドの方がとても親切で、良い思い出になりました！

Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour! I will share my experience in chronological order.

On the morning of the day before, I arrived at the meeting place and received a call. On the day of the tour, even though there were no signs or markers at the meeting point, I was able to confirm everything over the phone, and they responded very politely. The guide was thorough in their explanations and was friendly in their approach. During the activities, there was a lot of free time, allowing everyone to relax or pair up and do what they liked. Additionally, since there were two pairs participating at the same time, we were able to take our time and enjoy the experience even more. Throughout the activities, they constantly took photos, allowing us to capture precious memories. The sunset was simply amazing. We were able to see beautiful views that are not visible from the land. The photos were shared with us via LINE after the activities. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

総じて、とても楽しいツアーでした！時系列で体験談を投稿します。
前日の午前中に、集合場所等に着いて、電話で連絡がきました。当日は、待ち合わせ場所に行っても、看板など目印がなかったのですが、電話で確認すると、とても丁寧にご対応頂けました。ガイドさんは、教え方が丁寧で、気さくに話しかけて下さりました。アクティビティ中は自由時間が多く、それぞれが、寝そべったり、二人乗りをしたりと好きなことをすることができました。また、同時に2ペアでの参加だったので、尚更ゆっくり体験することができました。アクティビティ中に、常に写真も撮ってくださり、大切な想い出となる写真を残すことができました。肝心の夕陽は素晴らしいの一言です。陸からは見えない、素敵な景色を見ることができました。写真はアクティビティ終了後にLINEで共有頂きました。また機会があったら参加したいと思いました。

We went to experience stand-up paddleboarding with three girls! When one of us was feeling unwell, they kindly waited for us and even gave us medicine, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

The explanation for paddleboarding was very easy to understand, and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to the clear instructions, we were able to stand up and paddle right away! We also practiced avoiding dangers, which made us feel safe while learning. ☺︎

We got to see beautiful fish that are friends of Nemo! It seems that these fish can only be seen under certain conditions, so we were really happy to spot them!

While we were paddleboarding, they took lots of photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

女子３人でサップを体験しに行きました！
体調不良の子がいた時に、待ってくださったりお薬をくれたりと神対応をしていただきました

サップの説明もとても分かりやすく、楽しくできました。的確な説明のおかげですぐに立って漕ぐことができました！危険回避の練習もできて安心して練習できました☺︎

ニモの仲間の色が綺麗なお魚も見れました！
条件が揃わないと見れないお魚らしく嬉しかったです！

サップをしている時も写真をぱしゃぱしゃ撮ってくださり、素敵な思い出になりました！

It was the best tour!
In the morning, I swam with sea turtles while snorkeling.
I was lucky to encounter them suddenly. I was surprised by their size when I surfaced. It was a great experience.

In the afternoon, we took a canoe to the Pumpkin Cave.
I was thrilled by the mysterious atmosphere.
It seems that you can't enter depending on the weather and tide conditions, but the timing was perfect, and there were few people, so it was amazing.

Thank you to Taro, our guide.
The guidance was wonderful.
Even those who can't swim can enjoy it safely.
I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

I highly recommend this tour.
If you're going to Miyako Island, definitely check it out!

最高のツアーでした！
午前中にシュノーケリングでウミガメと一緒に泳ぎました。
いきなり遭遇できたのでラッキーでした。浮上してきた時の
大きさにはびっくり。いい体験ができました。

午後からはカヌーに乗ってパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。
神秘的な空間に大興奮。
天候と潮の状況によって入れないようですが、タイミングも良く
人も少ない時間帯だったので最高でした。

ガイドをして頂いた太郎さん、お世話になりました。
すばらしい案内でした。
泳げない人でも安心して楽しめます。
また機会があればお願いしたいです。

超オススメのツアーです。
宮古島に行かれる方はぜひ！

Unfortunately, the wind was strong, and we couldn't go out to the open sea, but we were able to experience kayaking in the beautiful waters. We enjoyed paddling while seeing the transparent sea with blue corals and fish visible beneath the surface. The staff were friendly and approachable, and their service was attentive. They also shared various recommendations for local beaches. Additionally, we received photos and videos, which are just fantastic. They will help us preserve these memories. We've watched them together many times. This is the most important part. I want to experience it again, and next time, I definitely want to go out to the open sea.

あいにく風が強く、外海にでられませんでしたが、美しい海でカヤックを体験できました。透明な海で透けて見える青い珊瑚や魚たち、漕ぎながら楽しみました。スタッフの皆さんの気さくでフレンドリーで、対応も丁寧。地元でお勧めの海などいろいろ教えて下さいました。また写真や動画も頂き、これがまた最高です。思い出にしっかり残せます。何度も二人で見ました。
これが一番大事です。また体験したいです。次は絶対外海に出たいです。
