All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

Our first trip to Ishigaki Island with our friends' family. We joined a night tour, hoping to see the bugs and creatures that the kids love!

Walking down the pitch-black jungle path, relying only on our lights to search for crabs, centipedes, and various creatures was incredibly thrilling, and the kids were so excited! The adults were also very enthusiastic.

We encountered a large coconut crab and were able to gaze at the starry sky, which was an experience we could never have done on our own, and we were very satisfied!

The guides were kind to the kids and provided constant, attentive support.

I would love to join again when we visit Ishigaki Island!

友達家族と一緒に、初めての石垣島。
子ども達が大好きな虫や生き物が見られるかも、とナイトツアーに参加しました！

想像していた以上に真っ暗なジャングルの道を、ライトだけを頼りに進みながら、カニやムカデ、いろいろな生き物を探すのはとてもスリリングで、子ども達は大はしゃぎ！大人も大興奮でした。

大きなヤシガニにも出会え、満点の星空も仰ぐことができ、自分達だけでは絶対にできなかった体験でとっても大満足でした！

ガイドのお兄さん達は、子ども達にも優しく常に細やかなフォローをしてくださいました。

石垣島に行く際は、また参加したいです！

I hadn't made any plans before arriving at Iriomote Island, but I was interested in canyoning and was looking for a place that allowed same-day reservations. For now, I signed up for a half-day canyoning session, and since it was my first time, I had a great time. Everyone else was from overseas, but the guide explained everything in both English and Japanese, and all the participants got really into it, making it a lot of fun. Next time, I would like to join a different course. Thank you very much.

西表島に着くまで何も決めていませんでしたが、キャニオニングには興味があり、当日予約でも可能なところを探していました。
一先ず、半日でキャニオニングのみでと申し込みましたが、初めてだったので充分に楽しめました。
私達以外は海外の方ばかりでしたが、ガイドさんが英語と日本語で説明してくださって、参加者皆んなで盛り上がり、とても楽しかったです。次回は、別のコースでも参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I signed up for the stargazing night photo tour on short notice, and it became the best memory! I was able to see many beautiful stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars that I can't see from where I usually live. Even now, after returning from the trip, I find myself reminiscing and feeling healed by those memories. The guide who assisted us was very kind and not only explained the flow of the shooting, points, and poses but also shared recommended spots in Miyako Island. I highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Miyako Island! Thank you for the wonderful experience!＾＾

急遽申し込ませていただいた星空ナイトフォトツアーでしたが、最高の思い出になりました！
普段住んでいるところからは見ることのできないたくさんの綺麗な星、天の川、流れ星を見ることができ、旅行から帰ってきた今でも思い返しては癒されています。
担当してくださったガイドさんがとても親切で、撮影の流れやポイント、ポーズ等はもちろん、宮古島でのおすすめスポットも教えてくださいました。
宮古島旅行に行かれる際にはぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！
素敵な体験をありがとうございました＾＾

When visiting Miyako Island, I can confidently say, "You absolutely should participate!" It was the best tour! The filming location was Kurima Island, and I was able to take the best photos under a sky full of stars like I've never seen before.

宮古島を訪れるときは、「絶対に参加したほうがいい！」と太鼓判を捺せるくらいの最高のツアーでした！
撮影場所は、来間島でしたが、見たことのない満天の星空での下で最高の写真を撮ってもらえました。

The stars were incredibly beautiful and overwhelming! The person who took the photos also chatted with us to help us relax, making for a pleasant photo session.

星がすごく綺麗で圧倒されました！
写真を撮ってくださった方もリラックスできるよう話しかけてくれて和やかにフォト撮れました。

There was moonlight, but I was able to enjoy seeing the Milky Way for the first time under a starry sky that was bright enough to see. As the visible stars changed with the clouds, the guide's stories about the stars were also wonderful, perfectly timed with what we could see.

月明かりがありましたが、十分に見える星空で初めて天の川を見ることができ楽しめました。雲で見える星が変わっていくなか、見えるタイミングに合わせてガイドさんの星にまつわるお話しも見事でした。

It was my first time taking photos of the starry sky, and I was very moved by the breathtaking view of the stars! The advice on poses was also helpful, making it the best memory of Miyako Island! Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

星空フォトは初めてでしたが、満天の星空にとても感動しました！
ポーズのアドバイスもあり、宮古島最高の思い出になりました！
ありがとうございます。
機会があればまた参加したいです！

This is my second time participating! I was very satisfied both times! I would like to request it again next year! Thank you for taking so many different shots!

2回目参加です！
2回ともすごく満足！
また来年もお願いしたいです！
いっぱいいろんなパターン撮って頂いて
ありがとうございました！

It was the best starry sky!

The explanations were thorough and easy to understand, and I was very grateful for the setup of the chairs and telescopes. It was a very enjoyable and wonderful stargazing event.

Thank you very much.

最高の星空でした！

説明も丁寧でわかりやすくチェアや望遠鏡のセットもありがたくとても楽しく素敵な鑑賞会でした。

ありがとうございました。

星がたくさん見えます。誰かが星の物語や名前を教えてくれるでしょう。

we can see lots of star， someone will tell the story and name of stars.

I participated in a tour to explore the jungle. After about 30 minutes of being jostled in the car from the meeting point, it was magical to see the sunset gradually approaching.

The terrain in the jungle was more rugged than I expected, which made it feel like a real adventure, and I had a lot of fun! It was a jungle where I could feel the geography and history of Ishigaki Island, and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining!

When we emerged from the jungle, the ocean spread out before us, and the starry sky we all looked up at after turning off our lights was unforgettable. The sound of the waves and the star-filled sky were breathtaking, and I thought I would love to come back just to see this view again!

ジャングルの中を探検するツアーに参加。
合流から30分ほど車に揺られて移動しますが、だんだんと日が暮れていくのが幻想的でした。

ジャングル内は思ったより起伏が激しく、探検感満載でとても楽しかったです✨
石垣島の地形や歴史を感じるジャングルで、ガイドの方も知識豊富で楽しませてもらいました！

ジャングルを抜けると海が広がっており、みんなでいっせいにライトを消して見上げた星空は忘れられません。
波の音と満天の星空が広がっていて、この景色を見るためにまた来たいなと思いました！

I saw various sizes of coconut crabs. During the tour, the guests turned off their lights all at once and looked up at the sky filled with stars. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I was overwhelmed by the number of stars I had never seen before. The tour guide was also very good at storytelling, and there was always laughter throughout the tour. I'm really glad I participated!

大小様々なヤシガニを見たり。ツアー客で「いっせいのーせい」でライトを消し、顔を見上げるの空一面の星。
暗闇にだんだん目が慣れてくると見た事ない位の星が溢れていました。またツアーガイドさんも話し上手で常に笑いの絶えないツアーでした。本当に参加して良かったです！

This tour focuses on the stars and wildlife! We explored the jungle at night and went out to see the starry sky! That night, there were no clouds, and the stars were beautiful, and we also saw coconut crabs and purple land crabs! The guide's knowledge was amazing, and it was a lot of fun!

このツアーは星空と生物がメインのツアーです！夜のジャングルを歩いて探検してバーチに出て星空を見ます！その日は雲が無くて
星がとても綺麗でヤシガニやむらさきオカヤドカリもいました！ガイドさんの知識もすごくて楽しかったです！

It's perfect for summer memories! I was so happy to see the coconut crab! The stars were beautiful to see. If you come to Ishigaki, be sure to join a night tour.

夏の思い出にぴったりです！ヤシガニが見れて嬉しかったです！星がとても綺麗に見れてよかったです。石垣に来たらナイトツアーに

It was a more authentic night tour than I expected, and I had a great time. They also offered rental boots, so I could enjoy it hands-free. The weather was nice, and the stars were beautiful to see.

思ったよりも本格的なナイトツアーでとても楽しかったです。長靴のレンタルもあり手ぶらで楽しめました。天気が良くて星も綺麗に見れてよかったです。

The weather was wonderful, and the stars were incredibly beautiful! I was able to see coconut crabs, and it was fun to see various plants on the way there and back! Additionally, the guide shared not only information about the tour but also recommended spots and interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, which made the experience even more enjoyable! I would love to participate again!

天気にも恵まれて星がとっても綺麗でした！ヤシガニが見れたり行き帰りも色んな植物が見れて楽しかったです！
また、ツアーの事だけでなく石垣島おすすめスポットや豆知識のような話をしてくださりより一層楽しむ事ができました！
また参加したいです！

The kayaking time was just right for both the outbound and return trip. I knew we were aiming for the waterfall and its basin, but it turned out to be quite a challenging mountain climb—"rock climbing?!" We took breaks along the way, and with the guidance provided, even a middle-aged couple like us could keep up. I was amazed by the knowledge of our tour guide, Mr. Ishitaba! We had a great time hearing so much about Iriomote Island, its flora and fauna, and insects. I’m looking forward to participating in a different tour next time.

カヤックタイムは往復ともちょうどいい感じでした
滝上滝壺目指すのはわかっていたけどなかなかハードな山登り〝岩登り⁉️〟
途中休憩しつつ手取り足取り御指南いただいたので中年夫婦でもついていけました
ツアーガイドの五十畑さんの博識に驚き‼️西表島のこと、動植物・虫のこと、たくさんお話が聞けて楽しい時間が過ごせました
次は違うツアーにも参加してみたいと思ってます

I participated in a company trip with my senior colleagues, and it was a memorable experience. The path to the meeting place was dark, which made me really anxious, but once we arrived, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful starry sky that I had never seen before. The photos taken against that stunning starry backdrop were exceptionally wonderful and truly moving!

During the photo session, the appropriate prompts helped me feel relaxed and natural, so I could enjoy the moment without feeling tense.

I gave it four stars because the seating during the shoot was on a rock, which made my backside a bit sore. If I had received advice beforehand, I could have brought something to sit on. However, in terms of feelings, it’s definitely five stars. The starry sky was incredibly beautiful… it became a lifelong memory.

社員旅行の思い出に、職場の先輩と参加しました。
集合場所への道のりは暗くてすごく不安になりましたが、いざ着いてみると初めて目にする美しい満点の星空に圧倒されました。
そんな満点の星空を背景に撮っていただいた写真は、また格別にすばらしくて、感動しました！！

写真を撮る時は、適切な声掛けをしてもらったので緊張する事もなく自然体で撮っていただけました。

星4つにしたのは、撮影時に座る場所が岩の上でちょっとお尻が痛かったので、事前にアドバイスをいただけたらお尻の下に引く物を持ってこれたなぁと思って4にしました。でも気持ちの上では星5です。本当に綺麗な星空で…一生の思い出になりました。

This time, I participated in a plan that included a trip to Yufu Island and a canyoning tour.

We were taken by shuttle to both Yufu Island and the canyoning location, and the guide shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island with us.

On Yufu Island, we rode on a water buffalo cart! Once we arrived, we had some free time, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves.

For the canyoning tour, we walked a bit to reach the river, but since we were chatting with the guide, we arrived at the river in no time. Once we got to the river, we could jump from high places and use our bodies to go down the water slide, which was so much fun!

It was an extraordinary experience, and I have the best memories!

今回、由布島とキャニオニングツアーのプランで参加させていただきました。

由布島に行くまでとキャニオニングの場所に行くまではそれぞれ送迎車で連れてってくれてガイドさんも沢山西表島情報を教えてくれます(^^)

由布島では水牛車に乗って向かいました！
着いてからもフリータイムがあるのでゆったり楽しむことができました。

キャニオニングツアーでは川に着くまで少し歩きますがガイドさんとお話ししながらだったのであっという間に目的地の川へ着きました⭐︎川へ行ってからは高いとこから飛び込んだり体を使ってウォータースライダーもできるのですごく楽しいです！

非日常体験ばかりで最高の思い出です

As we progressed through the pitch-black jungle along the coastline with our guide, we encountered coconut crabs, unique tropical creatures and plants, and growing stalactites, which was thrilling. Since it was a new moon and clear skies, we were blessed with a stunning starry sky, making for a valuable experience. Before I knew it, I had walked over 10,000 steps.

ガイドさんについて真っ暗な海岸沿いのジャングルを進んで行くと、ヤシガニや熱帯ならではの生物や植物、成長途中の鍾乳石などに遭遇できて興奮。新月&晴れのタイミングだったので降るような星空にも恵まれ貴重な体験ができた。気がつけば1万歩以上歩いてました。

The "Mangrove Canoe + Pinaisara Falls Trekking + Cave Exploration Tour" allows you to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island. You paddle through the mangrove forest by canoe, trek through the jungle towards the waterfall, and finally explore the cave with a flashlight in hand. It's a luxurious adventure that lets you experience rivers, forests, and caves all at once—truly an extraordinary day that will excite even adults!

西表島の大自然を満喫できる「マングローブカヌー＋ピナイサーラの滝トレッキング＋鍾乳洞探検ツアー」は、マングローブ林をカヌーで進み、滝を目指してジャングルを歩き、最後はかライト片手に鍾乳洞を探検するという、川・森・洞窟を一気に味わえるまさに“非日常”づくしの贅沢アドベンチャーで、大人も本気でワクワクする最高の一日でした！

We took photos as a family! At first, my daughter said it was too dark and scary and wanted to go home. But by the end, she said it was so much fun!! The photographer was very attentive, and I highly recommend them!

親子で撮って頂きました！
最初は真っ暗で怖い帰りたい。といっていた娘も終わった頃には楽しかったー！！と言ってました！
全部が丁寧でおすすめのカメラマンさんです！

I was deeply moved by the beauty of the starry sky. I didn't expect it to be so beautifully visible. The guide was also kind and shared various stories, allowing me to experience the warmth of the people of Miyako Island. Thank you to the guide from that time!

星空の美しさに大感動しました。
あそこまでキレイに見えるとは
予想していませんでした。
ガイドさんも親切で、
いろいろお話ししてくださり、
宮古島の島民の温かさに触れることが
できました。
あの時のガイドさん、
ありがとうございます！

We participated as a couple with our middle school child. I thought it would be a light walk, but it turned out to be quite a challenging mountain trail. Since there are steep slopes, I recommend joining with a backpack or going hands-free. It's better to keep both hands free. The humidity was intense, creating a truly jungle-like atmosphere. We were able to see natural monuments like hermit crabs and coconut crabs. The starry sky viewed from the sandy beach was also absolutely wonderful, and I'm really glad we participated. The guide's explanations and stories about the creatures were very enjoyable and easy to understand.

私たち夫婦と中学生の子供で参加しました。軽めのお散歩だと思ってましたが、なかなかハードな山道でした。
急な坂道があるので、リュックや手ぶらでの参加をおすすめします。両手はフリーにしておいたほうが良いと思います。
湿気がすごくて本当にジャングルといった雰囲気です。
天然記念物のヤドカリやヤシガニも見ることができました。砂浜から見る星空も大変素晴らしくて参加して本当に良かったと思っています。
ガイドさんの生き物の説明やお話もとても楽しくわかりやすかったです。

The ethereal photography against the backdrop of the Milky Way became the most beautiful photography experience of my life. The guide was also kind and taught me various things, which was very helpful. I would like to request this again.

天の川を背にした幻想的な撮影はこれまでの人生の中で最も美しい撮影体験となりました。
ガイドの方も親切で様々な事を教えてくださり大変助かりました。
またお願いをしたいと思いました。

I arrived right on time and was very grateful for the kind guidance I received. I'm looking forward to the finished product. Next time, I would like to come to Miyako Island with my spouse and definitely request a photo shoot. The photographer with the afro hairstyle was great.

PS: The final result was excellent and has become a wonderful treasure in my heart.

時間丁度に到着して
とても親切に案内して頂き有難いです
出来上がりを楽しみにしています
次回は夫婦で宮古島に来て是非撮影をお願いしたいと思っています
アフロヘアーの良いカメラマンの方です
PS
仕上がり最高でした
良い心の財産となりました

In mid-June, when the rainy season had ended early, my wife and I participated in the tour. After gathering at the remote island terminal, we took a bus with other tour participants to the jungle. During the bus ride there and back, the guide provided us with valuable information about recommended spots and shops in Ishigaki Island.

Due to heavy rain the day before, we were provided with rubber boots for the night tour. In the jungle, we enjoyed explanations about the flora and fauna, which made the experience very enjoyable. We were able to discover a coconut crab during this tour.

The stargazing took place on a sandy beach beyond the jungle. There were concerns due to the heavy rain the day before and forecasts indicating cloudy weather with rain, making it hard to expect clear skies. However, we were able to see a starry sky that looked like a planetarium.

Since this is an experience in nature, the animals you encounter may depend on luck, but I believe you can still enjoy the atmosphere. Long sleeves and long pants are recommended, especially for those concerned about insect bites, but I think short sleeves and shorts would be fine as well. By the way, I participated in short sleeves and long pants, and when I returned to the hotel, I found several bites on my arms. (The guide was in short sleeves, shorts, and flip-flops, haha.) I also brought my smartphone for photography, but in the jungle, I prioritized searching for creatures over taking pictures, so I didn't have the leisure to shoot.

早めに梅雨が明けた6月の半ばに妻と2人で参加しました。
離島ターミナルに集合後、他のツアー参加者とバスでジャングルに向かいました。
向かいや帰りのバスの中ではガイドの方が石垣島のオススメスポットやお店などの情報を教えてくれて大変ためになりました。

前日に大雨があったため長靴を貸してもらってのナイトツアーになりました。
ジャングルでは動植物についての説明もあり大変楽しめました。
今回のツアーではヤシガニを発見することができました。

星空観察はジャングルを抜けた先にある砂浜で行いました。
前日の大雨やサイトによっては曇りのち雨などと記載されていたり、晴れとは言い難い空であったため不安がありましたがプラネタリウムのような満点の星空を見ることができました。

自然の中の体験のためどのような動物に出会えるかは運次第になるかと思いますが雰囲気だけでも十分に楽しめると思います。
長袖長ズボンが推奨されていて虫さされなどが気になる方はその方がいいかと思いますが半袖短パンでも心配はいらないと思います。
ちなみに自分は半袖長ズボンで参加してホテルに戻ったら腕を数箇所、刺されていました。(ガイドの方は半袖短パンビーサンでした笑)
また、写真撮影用にスマートフォンを持参しましたがジャングルの中では撮影よりも生き物探しを優先してしまい撮影している余裕はありませんでした。

I participated in the morning canyoning tour! Before joining, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety, but our guide, Tomochin, provided solid support, allowing us to have a great time. :)

I was thrilled to experience activities like jumping and swimming from various spots, which are not something I usually get to do! At the end, I jumped into the water from about 3 meters, and Tomochin did a backflip while diving in, which was really cool.

I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

午前のキャニオニングツアーに参加しました！参加する前まではドキドキと不安がありましたが、ガイドのともちんさんが、しっかりとサポートしてくれて楽しむことができました:)
色んなスポットから水にジャンプしたり泳いだりと、普段なかなか体験できないアクティビティで嬉しかったです！
最後に3メートルくらいから水に向かってジャンプしましたが、ともちんさんがバク転で飛び込んでいてかっこよかったです。
またぜひ参加したいです！ありがとうございました！

I arrived on an evening flight and stayed at a hotel near the remote island terminal, checking in after dinner. The first day was meaningful. Although it was cloudy and I couldn't see the starry sky, I had more time for exploration and encountered a coconut crab. During the journey, the guide explained about the animals of Ishigaki Island, which was helpful for my knowledge of the animals I might encounter while driving a rental car during my trip.

夕方の便で到着し離島ターミナルに近くのホテルでしたがチェックインして夕飯後の参加。初日が有意義でした。曇りで星空は見ませんでしたが、その分、散策の時間が増えてヤシガニ遭遇。
道中、ガイドさんが石垣島の動物など説明聞いたので旅行中レンタカーで出会う動物知識に役立ちました。

It was a more authentic jungle experience than I imagined, and even adults could truly enjoy it! We discovered three coconut crabs, the stars were beautiful, and we even got to see shooting stars, making for a precious night experience! We had a great time until we were completely satisfied!

想像よりも本格的なジャングルで大人もしっかり楽しめました！
ヤシガニ3匹発見し、星は綺麗で、流れ星まで見ることができて、貴重な夜の体験ができました！
満足いくまで楽しめました！
