All Reviews for Hiking & Trekking Tours

I participated in a half-day course that included canoeing in Iriomote Island and trekking to a waterfall. It lasted from around 9 AM to 2 PM. They provided shoes and hats, and as long as I brought a towel, I could also take a shower (which is paid), making it easy to join.

Our guide, Aya, was very informative, explaining the surrounding flora and fauna during the canoeing and trekking, as well as the importance of typhoons. It was very clear and interesting. I would like to try the full-day course next time!

西表島カヌーと滝壺までのトレッキング、半日コースに参加しました。大体9時から14時くらいまでです。
靴も帽子も貸していただき、タオルさえ持って行けばシャワー（これは有料）もあり、身軽に参加できました。
ガイドのあやさんはカヌー上&トレッキング時も周りの動植物の案内や、台風の必要性について教えてくださるなど、大変わかりやすく、興味深かったです。
次は1日コースに参加してみたいです！

Since a typhoon was approaching, I thought the scenery might not be great, but at the cape and Daishi Forest Park, we were able to enjoy clear weather and have a wonderful experience.

I was focused on trekking, so it was a good decision to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. For my first trekking experience, I chose the 60-minute course. Surrounded by nature, I was able to move my body a lot!

After that, we had three hours at the aquarium, which was enough time to explore thoroughly. Thank you to the tour guide and the bus driver for your hard work during the long hours. Thank you very much.

台風が近づいてた中での参加だったので、あまり景色は良くないんだろうな～と思いつつでしたが、岬や大石林山では晴れてのびのびと体験することができました。

トレッキングが目当てだったので、動きやすい服装や靴で行って正解でした。
初めてのトレッキングは60分コースを選びました。自然に囲まれながら、たくさん身体を動かせました！

その後の水族園も三時間時間を取ってくれてたので充分回ることができました。
添乗員さん、バスの運転手さん、長時間お疲れ様でした。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary school son. The guide was lively and friendly, and although she was cute, she drove like a pro. I was amazed by her extensive knowledge of nature; she really knows the jungle inside and out.

They provide all the equipment, so you can join wearing just a swimsuit and a rash guard. The sun is intense, so a hat is essential, but if you forget one, they will lend you one.

Kayaking was easier than I expected, and we leisurely paddled through scenery reminiscent of the Amazon River. Just this experience alone made it worth participating.

We saw the mystical mangrove forest, along with many TonTonMi and ShioManeki.

After about 40 minutes, we headed deeper into the jungle towards a waterfall, which was quite challenging. It shouldn't be a problem for healthy individuals, but it might be tough for those with bad legs or the elderly. The guide was very knowledgeable about where to step and the dangerous spots, providing careful instructions, but overall, the pace was quite fast, so it was somewhat demanding. Expect to frequently navigate elevation changes of 40 to 50 cm. It was rare to see so many creatures in the jungle, and since the guide was knowledgeable, she taught us everything. It was a valuable experience for the kids.

After sweating a lot, we arrived at the PinaiSara waterfall. Standing right under the 50-meter waterfall was breathtaking! Plus, we could play in the cool pool below and wash off the sweat, which felt amazing.

After cooling off, we had lunch. The guide had carried lunch for everyone. We had two large rice balls, fried chicken, and a boiled egg. It was incredibly delicious and just what our tired bodies needed.

After playing a bit at the waterfall, we returned the same way along the river.

By around 2 PM, we returned to Monsoon, and since I was heading back to Ishigaki, I was able to catch the 2:30 PM ferry. The guide was very efficient in managing the detailed schedule of the half-day course. However, since it was a busy season, there wasn't much time to prepare (the waterfall gets crowded), so the overall pace was quick. Be well-prepared before joining.

My son really liked the guide and said he definitely wants to participate again! (laughs)

小学生の息子と二人で参加しました。ガイドのお姉さんは快活、気さくな方で、可愛らしいのに運転は男勝り、なにより自然の知識が豊富で驚かされました。ジャングルを知り尽くしてます。
道具は全て貸してくれるので、水着とラッシュガードで参加できます。日差しがすごいので帽子は必須で、忘れた場合はこちらも貸してくれます。
カヤックは思ったより簡単で、アマゾン川のような景色の中をのんびりと進んで行きます。もうこれだけで参加して良かったと思いました。
マングローブの神秘的な森や、トントンミー、シオマネキが沢山見れます。

40分くらい進むと、そこからはジャングルを滝目指して進んで行きますが、結構ハードです。健常者なら問題ありませんが、足が悪い人やお年寄りは厳しいのではないでしょうか。ガイドさんは足の掛け場所や危ない場所など熟知していて丁寧に教えてくれますが、全体として進むスピードが早めなのでそれなりに大変です。4〜50cmの高低差を頻繁に越えると思ってください。ジャングルでも珍しく生き物が沢山見れて、しかもガイドさんが詳しいので何でも教えてくれます。子供には貴重な体験です。

汗をたっぷりかいた所でピナイサーラの滝に到着。50mの滝の真下は圧巻！更にその冷たい滝壺で遊んで汗を流せます。これが最高に気持ちいいです。
汗を流した所でランチ。ガイドさんが全員分のお弁当を担いでくれてたんですね。大きなオニギリ２つと唐揚げ、ゆで卵。これがもう、疲れた身体に最高に美味しかったです。
滝で少し遊んで、同じ道、川を戻ります。

モンスーンに戻って14時位、自分は石垣に戻るので14時半の定期船に乗れました。
半日コースの緻密なスケジュールを、テキパキこなすガイドのお姉さんはとても優秀です。
ただ繁忙期という事もありゆっくり準備している余裕はない（滝が混んでしまう）ので、全体として進捗は早めです。準備は万端で参加しましょう。
息子はガイドのお姉さんがえらく気に入ったそうで、また必ず参加すると息巻いてました（笑）

This was a place I had wanted to visit but had given up on because I couldn't drive. First, we headed straight to Cape Hedo! We set off leisurely while listening to the audio guide. I was a bit anxious about the bus not having a restroom, but there were plenty of bathroom breaks, and I found myself arriving after dozing off ( ˘ω˘ ). It was a bit disappointing that it was somewhat cloudy...

At my main spot, Daichi Forest Mountain, I took a shortcut from the barrier-free course to the Churaumi Panorama Course and was able to fully enjoy the Yanbaru Forest Course up to the Gajumaru tree. I was close to others who were on the same tour until midway through the panorama course, but we were spaced out enough that I could take my time with photos. Colorful butterflies were fluttering around, creating a tropical atmosphere, and while I admired the Gajumaru tree, I enjoyed a mystical space all to myself without encountering anyone.

Since time was limited, I had to rush a bit, so I thought it would have been nice to have a longer stay. This was my third visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, so after seeing the whale shark, I explored the Tropical Dream Center. It was so hot that I gave up on the Okichan Theater and went back to see the whale shark one more time, and before I knew it, it was time to gather again.

Since it was a bus tour, I could comfortably sleep both ways, which made it much easier on my body. I would like to rely on this tour again the next time I go to Okinawa. It's a recommended tour for those who can drive as well, since it covers quite a distance.

行ってみたいと思いながらも運転出来ないため諦めていた場所でした。
まずは一気に辺戸岬へ！音声ガイドを聞きながらのんびり出発。バスにトイレがないのが不安でしたがトイレ休憩もしっかりあり、うたた寝している間に到着していました( ˘ω˘ )
やや曇り気味だったのが残念…。
私にとってのメインスポット大石林山ではバリアフリーコースからショートカットして美ら海パノラマコースへ入り、やんばる森林コースの御願ガジュマルまでしっかりみることが出来ました。
同じツアーに参加していた方達とはパノラマコースの途中までは近くにいましたが適度に離れていたため、ゆっくり写真も撮れました。鮮やかな色の蝶が舞っていて南国感満載の中、ガジュマルをみる間は誰にも会わず神秘的な空間を貸切状態で満喫出来ました。
時間が限られていたため急ぎ足で周ることになったので、もう少し滞在時間が長くてもいいなと思いました。
美ら海水族館は3回目だったのでジンベイザメをみた後に熱帯ドリームセンターを周りました。
あまりに暑くてオキちゃん劇場は諦めて最後にもう一度ジンベイザメをみて、あっという間に集合時間になりました。
バスツアーなので行きも帰りも気兼ねなく寝ることが出来、だいぶ身体が楽でした。
次回沖縄に行く時はまたお世話になりたいと思います。
かなりの距離を移動するので運転出来る人にもオススメのツアーです。

Since the guide was a newcomer, we had a more experienced guide accompany us, and the two of them guided us together. We arrived at the canoeing spot after about 30 minutes, just when we were starting to feel tired. The trekking was also just right, taking about 20 minutes and making us sweat a little. After returning, I took a shower, felt the natural breeze in the hammock while drinking a beer, and it was truly a wonderful holiday. They took a lot of photos for us and sent them right away via LINE. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが新人でしたので先生役のガイドさんが付き2人で案内してもらいました。カヌーも30分くらいで疲れたころに到着。トレキングも少し汗が出るくらいで（20分）到着でちょーどいい具合でした。帰ってからシャワーを使いハンモックで自然の風を感じてビールを飲んで、実にいい休日でした。写真もたくさん撮っていただきラインですぐに送ってもらいました。ありがとうございました。

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, the wind and rain were strong, and I was quite anxious about my first canoe experience. However, upon arriving at Iriomote Island and receiving an explanation, my worries faded as the rain stopped just as we started paddling.

Under the guidance of our instructor, Mr. Iwamoto, we smoothly progressed into a mangrove forest. We learned about the differences between two types of roots, as well as the flowers and buds, followed by a break.

We then headed further upstream.

After getting off the canoe, we crawled up a narrow, steep slope for about 20 minutes and arrived at the Pinaisara Falls. I was surprised to hear that it has a drop of 55 meters.

After a break, we descended carefully to avoid slipping and falling. My thighs were feeling weak... I was healed by the species that inspired Ultraman, and we made our way back to the canoe launch point.

On the return trip, the tide was low, revealing sandy areas in places. We had to be careful not to get stuck in the shallows and to resist the current, but we finally arrived.

With a full course of activities including the sea, river, mountain climbing, waterfalls, and canoeing, it was a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

石垣島を出港する時は風雨が強く初めてのカヌー体験かなり不安でしたが、西表島に着き説明を受け、カヌーを漕ぎ出すころには雨が止み不安は払拭。

ガイドの岩本さんの指導のもと、順調に進むとマングローブの森に。2種類の根の違いや花や芽の説明を聞き、ブレークタイム。
さらに川の上流へ。

カヌーを降り、狭く急な斜面を這うように登ること20分、ピナイサーラの滝へ到着。
落差が55mと聞き驚き。

休憩後、滑って滑落しないように下山。
太ももにチカラが入らない…
ウルトラマンのモデルになった種で癒され、カヌー乗り場へ。

戻りは潮が引き、所々砂地が。浅瀬に乗り上げないように潮の流れに負けないように、やっと
到着。

海、川、山登り、滝、カヌー、フルコースのアクティビティで満腹、楽しい体験でした。

I rarely have the opportunity to go to the very edge like Cape Hedo, so I think those who love exploring the farthest places would want to aim for it. The weather was great, which made it even better. I also worked hard to trek two courses at the Oishi Forest Mountain. There are four courses in total. I thoroughly enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium as well. The scene of the whale shark being fed was quite impressive. I also watched the dolphin show. Oki-chan (the dolphin) was lively. Three hours flew by just like that. Due to traffic during the holiday, we were delayed by an hour, but they made sure to keep the schedule intact without cutting anything. However, there was little time for lunch, and some items were sold out or had stopped taking orders, which was a bit disappointing. Just getting to Kunigami was enough for me...

なかなか辺戸岬のような端まで行く機会がなかったので，最果てめぐりが好きな人は目指しだがるのではないでしょうか？天気も良かったので最高でした。大石林山のトレッキングも頑張って2コースまわりました。4コースあります。美ら海水族館も十分堪能しました。ジンベイザメの餌を食べるシーンはなかなかでした。イルカのショーも見ました。おきちゃん（イルカ），元気でした。これだけで3時間なんてあっという間でした。連休の渋滞で，時間が1時間ずれ込みましたがどこもカットされず，しっかり時間を確保してくださいました。ただ昼食は時間が少なく，sold outになっていたりオーダーストップがかかっていたりとちょっと残念。国頭まで行けただけで十分かな...

I think this is a well-organized tour that allows you to visit key spots while covering a long distance in a limited amount of time. Personally, I felt I could have spent a bit more time at Daishi Forest Mountain, but overall, the schedule was reasonable. As far as I could find, this was the only tour that goes to the northernmost point of the main island, so I appreciated that aspect as well.

限られた時間内で長距離を移動しつつ要所を見て回れる、コンパクトにまとまった良いツアーだと思います。確かに個人的には大石林山にもう少しいたかったかなとは思いますが、全体的に見ると妥当な時間割でした。
本島最北端へ行けるツアーは調べた限りこちらしかなかったので、その意味でもありがたかったです。

We participated as a couple in our mid-60s. We met our guide at Uehara Port, received explanations, shoes, and life jackets at the Iriomote Monsoon office, and then moved to the location. We slowly paddled up the mangrove river in a two-person canoe while listening to the guide's instructions, and after reaching the shore, we aimed for the Pinaisara Falls. Along the way, we received explanations about various plants and were continually impressed by the guide's extensive knowledge. We enjoyed swimming under the waterfall and cheered with excitement. After returning to the office, while waiting for the boat, we relaxed in a hammock overlooking the sea and fully enjoyed the nature of Iriomote. I was also greatly attracted to the nature-integrated approach of the Iriomote Monsoon team. I thought that next time, it might be nice to stay here. Thank you to the guide and all the staff.

60歳半ばの夫婦で参加しました。上原港でガイドさんと合流し、西表モンスーンの事務所で説明と靴、ライフジャケットを受け取り、現地に移動。二人乗りのカヌーでマングローブの川をガイドさんの案内を聞きながらゆっくり上り、岸についてからピナイサーラの滝をめざしました。途中、いろいろな草木の説明を受け、草木などガイドさんがよく知っていることについて感心することしきり。滝の下でを水浴び、歓声を上げました。事務所に戻り、船を待つ間、海を眼下に見下ろし、ハンモックにゆられ、西表の自然を満喫できました。西表モンスーンの皆様の自然ととけあった対応にも大変心を惹かれました。次に来るときは、ここに泊まりるのがいいかなと思いました。ガイドさん、スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

I have visited Okinawa many times, but I had never been to Cape Hedo, the northernmost point. Thinking it would be tough to drive there by rental car, I took a day trip sightseeing bus. The weather forecast for the day wasn't very promising, but we were blessed with good weather at Cape Hedo and Daishi Forest Mountain. I stood at Cape Hedo, which I had seen several times from the airplane, overlooking the beautiful sea and the four legendary mountains. There were four courses at Daishi Forest Mountain, and I encouraged my wife to join me as we walked two of them within the time allotted by the sightseeing bus. My imagination was sparked by the various shapes of the rocks, and I thought about wanting to get naming rights for some of them. At the end of the course, I discovered mulberries. They were larger and sweeter than those from Aomori. I devoured them, staining my hands and lips purple. I made delicious memories at Daishi Forest Mountain.

沖縄は何度も訪れているが、本当北端の辺戸岬はまだだった。レンタカーで北端まで行くのもつらいと思い、日帰り観光バスに乗車。当日の天候予想はあまりよくなかったのだが、辺戸岬と大石林山は天気に恵まれた。何度か飛行機から見えた辺戸岬に立つ。美しい海と四つの伝説の山を望む。大石林山には四つのコースがあったが、妻にも頑張ってもらい、観光バスの与えられた時間内で二つを歩いた。色々な形の岩に想像力が働いて、ネーミングと命名権をゲットしたいと思うものもあった。コースの終端にクワの実発見。青森のものより実が大きく甘い。手と唇をムラサキにして夢中でほおばった。大石林山で美味しい思い出ができました。

The weather was great, and the view from Cape Hedo was wonderful.
At Oishi Forest Park, I was able to explore two courses in one hour.
I was moved by the Gajumaru tree at the Okinawa World.
The aquarium was quite crowded even on a weekday, but I was able to see the dolphin show and the feeding of the whale shark.
I was able to tour very efficiently, and I was extremely satisfied!

天気がよく、辺戸岬の見張らしが素晴らしかったです。
大石林山は、一時間で2コース回れました。
御願ガジュマルに感動しました。
水族館は、平日にも関わらず、人がたくさんいましたが、イルカのショー、ジンベイザメの餌やりも見れました。
とても効率よく観光できて、大満足でした‼

It's very convenient as they efficiently take you to a location that is quite inconvenient to reach by public transportation. However, it is still far, so the time is tight. There is one hour of free time at the Oishi Forest Park and two hours at the Churaumi Aquarium. At Oishi Forest Park, I hurriedly walked two courses. If I had a little more time, I could have walked more leisurely... At the Churaumi Aquarium, two hours is enough if you're just visiting the aquarium, but it was impossible to go to other facilities. For lunch, you choose one main dish from five options, and the sides were served buffet-style. It was delicious.

公共交通機関で行くにはとても不便な場所を効率良く連れて行ってくれるので便利です。ただ、やはり遠いので時間がパンパンです。大石林山で１時間、美ら海水族館で２時間の自由時間があります。大石林山は急ぎ足で２コース歩きました。もう少し時間があればゆっくり歩けたのですが…。美ら海水族館は水族館だけなら２時間で大丈夫ですが、他の施設に行くのは無理でした。昼食はメインを５種類の中から１品選び、サイドはビュッフェ形式でした。美味しく戴きました。

During my last trip, I visited Cape Hedo. However, due to bad weather, I couldn't climb Mount Oishi. This time, I was fortunate to join a great tour. I had fun all day long. Next year, I want to participate in a different tour.

前回旅行した際、辺戸岬にはいったのですが。天気が悪かったので大石林山には登れませんでした。今回良いツァーに恵まれました。一日中楽しかったです。来年は別のツァーで参加したいです。

Overall, it was a leisurely tour that I thoroughly enjoyed. At Cape Hedo, despite the strong winds, you can see the sheer cliffs. The power spot, Daishi Forest Mountain, is not often visited by others outside of this tour, allowing for a relaxing hiking experience. For lunch, we had a leisurely meal at Okuma Resort and took a short break on the white sandy beach. Then we continued to Churaumi and shopping. We were making good progress to the last spot, and after an announcement that we would arrive in Naha in 90 minutes, we got caught in traffic in Nago and arrived 60 minutes late (even though the detour was not congested...). On other tours, they ask about your plans after the tour and emphasize punctuality, but on this tour, they didn't ask, and we took a solid 10-minute bathroom break after the traffic, which was a bit nerve-wracking. Fortunately, our flight at 9 PM was delayed by 20 minutes, so we just barely made it.

全般的に時間のゆったりとしたツアーで満喫できました。辺戸岬は強風ですが、断崖絶壁を見れます。パワースポット大石林山は、本ツアー以外の人はあまり見かけず、ゆっくりハイキングを楽しめます。昼はオクマリゾートで、ゆったりと食事と白い砂浜で小休憩。美ら海、買い物と続きます。最後のスポットまでは順調に進み９０分で那覇ですとのアナウンス後、名護の渋滞にど真ん中勝負で６０分遅れで到着（迂回路は渋滞していないのに、、）。他のツアーですと、ツアー後の予定を聞かれ時間厳守ですと念を押されますが、本ツアーは、聞かれもせず、渋滞後のトイレ休憩も１０分しっかりと取り、ヒヤヒヤの展開でした。２１時の飛行機が幸いにも２０分遅れたため、ギリギリのギリギリで間に合いました

I was surprised by how unfriendly the tour guide was during the initial check-in. I really wish they had a paper with the tour name and company name. Why didn’t they bring one? Is there no sign on the bus? Is this some kind of consideration? Without anything, I genuinely felt anxious about whether this was the right bus. Maybe it was because I asked with that doubtful feeling.

I ordered steak for lunch, but I was shocked that it was just grilled with no seasoning at all. How can this be the cooking at a hotel? I can't believe it. Is this normal? I ended up putting salt and pepper on it myself.

I wanted to visit a place called Fukugi Namiki, so I joined this tour that included the Churaumi Aquarium nearby, but I wasn't very impressed, probably because of the bad weather. Since I had the ticket, I went to the aquarium, but it was still overcrowded with a lot of Korean and Chinese tourists, which was frustrating. I couldn't enjoy looking around at all. The Chinese couple in front kept turning around, which was annoying.

添乗員が初めの受付時感じ悪くてびっくりした。
というかツアー名とか会社名とかの紙持っててほしい。何故もっていないの？
バスに紙貼ってないのか？何か配慮ですかね？？何もないと本当にこのバスか不安に思う。その訝しんだ感じで訪ねたからかもしれないけど

ランチにステーキを頼んだけど 何の下味もついていないただ焼いただけでびっくりした。ホテルなのに何でこんな調理なの？信じられない。これ普通なんですかね
自分でテーブルの塩こしょうかけましたけど

ついでにフクギ並木という所に行きたかったのでその近くの美ら海水族館がついているこのツアーに参加したけど、天気が悪いせいかあんまり感動しなかった。 せっかくチケットがあるから水族館にも行ったけど 相変わらず大量の韓国中国人でうんざりだった。全然ゆっくり見れないし。
前の中国人カップルがちょいちょい後ろ向いてきてうざかった。

It was great that the guidance was available in each language.
It was a bit disappointing that the bus was cold.

ガイダンスがそれぞれの言語で聴けたのはとてもよかった。
バスが寒かったのがちょっと残念だった。

I participated because I wanted to go to Daishi Forest Mountain.

I am very satisfied with this price, which includes the bus fare, entrance fees to various facilities, and a luxurious lunch.

I toured with several tourists from Korea, China, and Hong Kong, in addition to Japanese people. Everyone was well-behaved, and there was no loud noise or selfish behavior, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing experience.

大石林山に行きたくて参加しました

バス代、各施設の入場料、豪華ランチ込みでこのお値段は大満足です

日本人以外に韓国、中国、香港からきた観光客数名と一緒に観光しました
みなさんお行儀がよく、大声で騒いだり自分勝手な行動をすることもなく、楽しく観光できました

The weather in Okinawa is unpredictable. I think it would be great if it didn't rain. This time, I wanted to connect with nature, but unfortunately, the rain diminished that experience. The bus had a tour guide with audio guidance through receivers, which might be a bit bland for older folks. However, it's perfect for quietly enjoying the sights.

沖縄の天気は気まぐれ。
雨が降らなければ最高だと思う。
今回、自然に触れようとしたがあいにくの雨で半減。
バスも添乗員さんが居てレシーバーで音声ガイダンス、年配の方には味気ないかな？静かに観光するにはもってこいだけど。

I had a great time canoeing and trekking. I heard that Sangara Falls gets a lot of visitors in the summer, but since it's the off-season now, it was just us. On the way back, the water level had decreased, making it quite challenging to paddle the canoe, but it was fun.

カヌー＆トレッキングで楽しい時間を過ごせました。サンガラの滝は、夏は多くの人がおとずれるそうですが、今は、オフシーズンなので、私たちだけでした。帰りは、水かさが少なくなり、カヌーを漕ぐのがなかなか大変でしたが、楽しかったです。

It was our family's first canoeing and trekking experience with five people. Even as beginners, we had a great time, especially the mangrove canoeing, which was fantastic due to the nice weather. The rice balls and bento we ate by the waterfall were also amazing! The guide was cute and kept the conversation fun throughout. We definitely plan to visit again!

家族5人ではじめてのカヌー、トレッキング体験でした。
初心者でも楽しめて、特にマングローブカヌーが気候も良かったので最高に気持ちよかったです。滝壺で食べるおにぎりお弁当も最高でした！
ガイドのお姉さんも可愛くて終始楽しくお話ししていただきました。
再訪必至です！

I appreciated the shuttle service and that it was okay to participate alone. It was my first time going to the northern part of the main island. From Cape Henna, the northernmost point, I could faintly see Yoronjima. At Oishi Forest Park, it wasn't as crowded as I expected, so I was able to pass through the rock of reincarnation, which is said to allow you to be reborn if you go through it three times, without bothering anyone. Since it was New Year's Day, they served special sweet red bean soup. While I was quietly gazing at the scenery, a swallowtail butterfly fluttered by and landed on my smartphone, which made me very happy. The hotel lunch was luxurious. The aquarium visit was short, so I focused on the whale shark and dolphin show. I bought souvenirs at the candy castle. Since there were many foreign visitors, the bus had an audio guide. I'm sure the foreign guests felt reassured. It was a very fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

送迎があり一人参加OKで助かりました。本島の北には初めて行きました。最北端の辺戸岬から与論島がぼんやり見えました。大石林山では思ったより混んでいなかったので三回くぐると生まれ変われるという生まれ変わりの岩もどなたのじゃまにもならずにくぐることができました。元旦ということで特別お汁粉がふるまわれていました。景色をじっと眺めていたらアゲハチョウがひらひらと飛んできてスマホにとまってくれました。なんだかとてもうれしかったです。ホテルのランチは豪華でした。水族館は時間が短いのでジンベイザメとイルカショーに絞りました。お菓子御殿でお土産を買いました。外国のかたが多いのでバスの中は音声ガイドでした。きっと外国のかたは安心と思います。とても充実した一日でした。ありがとうございました。

In winter, Iriomote Island is said to rarely have clear weather, often being cloudy, but on the day I participated, it happened to be sunny. Since it was December, we didn't have to paddle our kayaks under intense sunlight, making for perfect weather.

While trekking, I learned a lot from our guide about the names of trees, plants, and insects. The onigiri lunch at the waterfall, filled with negative ions, was also great.

I thought a half-day tour might not be enough, but it was just the right amount of exercise for women in their 40s. If you go to Iriomote Island, I highly recommend trying this activity!

冬の西表島はカラッと天気が晴れることがないそうで曇りの天気が多いのですが、参加した日はたまたま天気が晴れました。12月だったので強烈な日差しの中でカヤックを漕ぐこにならず、最高の気候でした。
トレッキングしながらガイドさんに木の名前や植物の名前、昆虫たちについて色々お話を聞けて勉強になったし、マイナスイオンたっぷりの滝壺でのおにぎりランチも良かったです。
半日ツアーで物足りないかな？と思いましたがそんな事はなくて アラフォー女子にはちょうどいいくらいの運動でした。
西表島に行ったら皆さんにも是非やってみてほしいアクティビティです。

On a weekday during the off-season, we had the morning mangrove canoeing all to ourselves, with just our group (my husband and I, and another couple)! Although it wasn't perfectly sunny, the view of the mountains shrouded in clouds was enchanting and beautiful.

During the jungle trekking, we did get caught in the rain at one point, but it added to the jungle experience, which was great.

We were very satisfied with the tour, especially since we could swim in the waterfall pool.

The other couple opted for the full-day course and went on a cave exploration in the afternoon. We chose the half-day course due to concerns about the weather and our health, but we had so much fun that maybe the full-day course would have been fine too. However, I did experience muscle soreness in my thighs the next day, even with the half-day tour (laughs).

The guide was kind and taught us a lot, and it was nice that they took photos at various points and sent them to us later via LINE.

I thought the information about what to bring could have been clearer. It would have been better if it clearly stated that we could borrow a waterproof shoulder bag (sufficient for tea, a hand towel, and minimal valuables) and that we could leave towels and a change of clothes at the shop to change after the tour. I appreciated the clothing recommendations that included photos for clarity.

Oh, and I suddenly booked through Veltra the day before, so I was anxious about whether my reservation was properly made and called directly. I was grateful for their kind assistance.

オフシーズンの平日で、朝のマングローブカヌーは川に私たちのグループ（私たち夫婦とご夫婦もう１組）しかおらず独り占め状態！　ピーカン晴れではなかったですが、雲がかかる山の景色も幻想的で美しかったです。

ジャングルトレッキングでは途中で雨にもふられましたがそれもまたジャングル感が増してよかったです。

滝つぼでも泳げて大満足のツアーでした。

もう１組のご夫婦は１日コースで、午後は続けて洞窟探検に行ったとのこと。天気と体調が不安だったので半日コースのほうにしましたが、すごく楽しかったので１日コースでもよかったかな～。ただし半日でも翌日、前モモが筋肉痛でした（笑

ガイドさんも親切でいろいろ教えてくれたし、要所要所で写真を撮り、後でＬＩＮEで送ってくれたのもうれしかったです。

持ち物の案内ちょっと分かりづらいのが残念かもと思いました。防水のショルダーバッグ（お茶とハンドタオル、最低限の貴重品が入る程度のもの）を貸してもらえること、タオルや着替えを持参してショップに置いておけば、ツアーから戻ったらショップで着替えられることなどが分かりやすく書いてあればもっとよかったなと思います。推奨する服装は写真付きの解説があって親切だと思いました。

あ、そうそう、前日に急にベルトラから申し込んだため、予約がちゃんと入ったか不安で直接お電話してしまいましたが親切に対応してもらえてありがたかったです。

I was relieved to see that there were others participating alone as well!

It became a fun memory!

Thank you very much!

１人参加の方が他にもいらっしゃったので
安心しました‼

楽しい思い出になりました！

ありがとうございました‼

I participated in this tour because I couldn't rent a car while traveling alone. Since it was a weekday, there were few participants, which allowed for a relaxed experience. What I found very good was the freedom to move around almost freely at the destination. As long as you don't miss the meeting time, it's fine. You don't have to match the pace of others. The meals were also luxurious at the resort area.

I was truly satisfied. However, I would be happy if there were a dedicated tour for those who want to spend more time at Daishi Forest Mountain.

1人旅で、レンタカー借りれないので参加しました。平日ともあり、参加人数も少なくのびのびできました。とても良いと思ったのは、現地ではほぼ自由に動ける事。待ち合わせ時間に遅れなければ大丈夫。周りに合わせなくて良いです。食事もリゾート地で豪華でした。
本当に満足できました。
ただ、大石林山にゆっくりしたいので、専用のツアーがあれば嬉しいです

It was a lunch and a packed sightseeing bus tour at the aquarium and JAL Hotel, which are difficult to reach on your own at the northernmost point. Traveling is better with companions... I made friends with a Japanese wife and some Chinese people, and we enjoyed it together.
I would like to ride again. Thank you very much.

自分では行きにくい最北端、水族館、JALホテルのでランチと盛りだくさんの観光バスツアーでした。旅は道連れ、、、日本人の奥様と中国人の方々と仲良くなり、一緒に楽しみました。
また乗ってみたいです。ありがとうございました。

Cape Hedo, the northernmost point, was dynamic and absolutely wonderful. At the Oishi Forest, I was moved to find an Okinawa lizard, feeling the beauty of nature. Although it's hot and I tend to think of marine sports as the main activity, I highly recommend trekking while sweating, with the expansive view of the ocean.

最北端の地、辺戸岬はダイナミックで最高に良かったです。大石林山では、オキナワトカゲを見つけて、自然だなぁと感動しました。暑いのでマリンスポーツがメインに考えてしまいますが、汗をかきながらのトレッキング、大きく広がる海の景色はお勧めです。ー

The tour began with a pickup in front of DFS near Omoromachi Station on the Yui Rail. This time, we visited the northern part of the island, which is not typically included in personal travel itineraries.

On the day of the tour, there were only five participants, making it a very small group. However, this allowed for a well-organized and smooth experience.

We were fortunate with the weather, and the views at Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest Park were beautiful. Although we walked and worked up a sweat, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing with a refreshing feeling (though it was quite hot!).

For lunch, we had a buffet at Okuma Private Beach & Resort, which offered a wide variety of fruits and desserts, including cakes. It was satisfying even when including the regular meal.

Next, we visited the Churaumi Aquarium (the last stop was Nago's Okashi Goten). Although I had been there once before, I didn't have time to explore the entire aquarium, so this time I focused on feeding the whale sharks and watching the dolphin show, which I missed last time.

The dolphin show was shorter than I expected, which was a bit disappointing, but the content was enjoyable, and I wished it had lasted longer.

Given its short duration, I felt a bit let down.

If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a little more time for strolling around the Churaumi Aquarium.

Nonetheless, I was very satisfied with the northern sightseeing experience.

ツアーの始まりは、ゆいレールのおもろまち駅近くのDFS前でのピックアップでした。
今回は、個人の旅行では中々行かない北部の観光です。

当日は、5名でのバスツアーとなり、非常に参加人数の少ないツアーでしたが、人数が少ないだけに時間行動がしっかりできてスムーズなツアーでした。

お天気にも恵まれ、辺戸岬、大石林山も景観が良く歩いて汗はかくものの爽やかな気持ちで観光出来ました（しかし、暑かったぁ〜苦笑）。

昼食は、オクマプライベートビーチ&リゾートでのビュッフェですがフルーツやケーキなどのスイーツの種類が多く、通常の食事を含めても満足出来るものでした。

次に美ら海水族館でした（最後は、名護のお菓子御殿）。
一度行った事があるものの水族館全体を見回る時間は無いので、今回はジンベイザメの餌やりと前回見られなかったイルカショーに絞り、見て来ました。

イルカショー、思っていたよりショーの時間が短く拍子抜けでしたが、ショーの内容は楽しく、もっとやって貰いたかった。

短かっただけに残念でした。

美ら海水族館は、欲を言えば、散策の時間をもう少しとって貰えると良いと思います。

それにしても北部観光、満足です。

After 30 years, I visited Okinawa. My husband went diving, and I was wondering what to do, so I searched and found the tour I participated in. Reading other people's experiences, I wondered if it would be okay to join alone, but on the day of the tour, everyone else was also participating solo, which made me feel relieved. We headed straight north to Cape Hedo, trekked at the power spot of Daisekirinzan, enjoyed a luxurious lunch with a view of the pristine white sandy beach, and visited the Churaumi Aquarium. The bus was comfortable, allowing for a pleasant sightseeing experience! Since everyone else was also participating alone, we enjoyed a lunch buffet together, chatting in a mix of English and Japanese, and the day flew by. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Okinawa!

30年ぶりに訪れた沖縄。旦那さんはダイビングへ、、さて私は何をしましょうかと色々と探して見つけた今回参加したツアーでした。他の方の体験談を読んで１人参加でも大丈夫？？と思いながら当日の参加した皆さん１人参加で何だかホッとしてしまいました。辺戸岬まで一気に北上〜トレッキングで大石林山パワースポット〜豪華で真っ白な砂浜を眺められるランチそして美ら海水族館。。
バスはゆったり座れて快適な観光が出来ました！
他の方ともお互い１人参加なので一緒にランチブュッフェを食べて英語とも日本語混ざりながらもおしゃべりしながらのあっという間の1日でした。
沖縄を満喫出来ました！

Okinawa's Oishi Forest was amazing. It's far, but definitely worth the trip. The lunch at the hotel buffet had a variety of delicious options! The aquarium was crowded with tourists, so I don't think you can take your time there.

大石林山すごく良かった。遠いけれども行く価値ありですよ。ランチもホテルのバイキングで色んな種類のものが食べれて美味しかったですよ！　水族館は観光客でごった返していました。あまりゆっくりは出来ないと思います。
