All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

I was so moved by the starry sky I saw in Miyako Island that I definitely wanted to take starry sky photos when I visited again, so I made a reservation here based on the good reviews.

On the day of the shoot, I was worried because the weather was unstable during the day, but it cleared up at night for the photography session. I received advice that the strong wind could make my dress look puffy, so I held it down with my hands and feet while shooting.

The results were more beautiful than I expected, and it became a wonderful memory of my trip. I also fell in love with Miyako Island even more! I highly recommend it for travel memories.

以前宮古島で見た星空に感動して、また宮古島に行ったら絶対星空フォトを撮りたいと思っていて、口コミが良かったこちらに予約しました。
当日の日中は天気が不安定で心配しましたが夜には回復して撮影に。風が強くワンピースが広がると太って見えてしまうとアドバイスして頂き、見えないように足や手で押さえながらの撮影でした。
仕上りは予想以上に綺麗で旅行のいい思い出になりました。そして宮古島がもっと好きになりました！
旅の思い出におすすめします。

I signed up while keeping an eye on the weather, as cancellations were possible until the evening of the day. There were a few clouds, but I was able to see the Big Dipper and Scorpius clearly. During the event, I also saw shooting stars three times. In the latter half, as the boat returns to the port, the city lights and the lights of the ships docked in the harbor are quite bright, so I think the best chance to see the stars is in the first half, before the boat leaves the harbor.

当日夕方までキャンセル可能ということで、空の様子を見ながら参加申し込みしました。少し雲はありましたが、北斗七星やさそり座をはっきり見ることが出来ました。また、参加中に3回流れ星が見えました。船が港に戻る後半は、市街地の明かりや港に停泊中の船の灯がかなり明るいので、星を見るのは船が港から出て行く前半がチャンスかと思います。

I was able to see a lot of coconut crabs and the starry sky was absolutely stunning! Teru's guiding was lively and very enjoyable!

ヤシガニも沢山見れ、満点の星空も見ることができて最高でした！！
テルさんのガイドも軽快で非常に楽しかったです！！

We used a minivan for a tour with 8 participants. We were blessed with good weather and were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots in the northern region. The time spent at each location was sufficient. The seafood lunch was very delicious. We also enjoyed mineral water, shikwasa juice, Nago's manju, and cheesecake tart, making it a very satisfying tour. The driver was safe, and the guide's explanations and tour management were excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

8名参加のツアーのためミニバンの利用でした。天気に恵まれ、効率良く北部の観光地各地を廻れました。各地の滞在時間も十分でした。海鮮ランチは大変おいしかったです。ミネラルウォーター、シークヮーサージュース、名護のおまんじゅう、チーズケーキタルトも頂けて大満足のツアーでした。ドライバーさんは安全運転、ガイドさんの説明、添乗業務も申し分ありませんでした。おすすめのツアーです。

On the day of the shoot, the weather was not great with many clouds, but they contacted me in advance to check if the stars were visible from the shooting location before our scheduled time. The path to the meeting point was very dark, which made me a bit anxious, but when I arrived, I was greeted by a stunning starry sky that felt like a hidden gem known only to locals. The photographer was kind, and the shooting itself was a lot of fun! Thank you for the wonderful photos.

当日、雲が多く好天ではなかったのですが予約時間前に事前に撮影場所から星が見えるかどうか確認して連絡くださいました。
集合場所までの道のりは真っ暗で少し不安でしたが、着いてみたら現地の人しか知らないような満天の星空が出迎えてくれるとても素敵な場所でした。
カメラマンのお兄さんが親切で撮影自体とても楽しかったです！
素敵な写真をありがとうございました。

I requested to use the photos for my wedding. Despite the unstable weather on the day, I was able to get wonderful pictures. I'm looking forward to the finished product. Thank you!

結婚式に使用させていただくたまに依頼しました。当日天候が不安定にも関わらず素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。完成を楽しみにしてます。ありがとうございました！

I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a tour that showcases such untouched nature. I recommend it to those who have visited Okinawa several times.

However, on the day of the tour I participated in, the bus was slightly delayed from the meeting time. Although we were told to contact them in case of delays, the contact number provided in the printed itinerary was unreachable before the boarding time, which raised some concerns. I suggest that the planning company confirm this with the local company, including whether my observation was correct.

こういったありのままの自然しかないところをツアーとして楽しく見せていただいたことに感謝です。何回か沖縄に行かれたかたにはおすすめです。
なお、たまたま私が参加したツアーでは当日、バスが集合時間から若干送れましたが、遅れた場合必ず連絡するようにと言われていたにもかかわらず、私が印刷していた企画書では、その場合の連絡先の電話番号が搭乗時刻前にはそもそも音信が取れないことにになっていたなどいかがと思われることもありましたので(私のこの指摘が間違っていなかったかどうかなども含め)企画会社の方では現地会社と確認してください。

It was a full moon, so the starry sky photos weren't as I had hoped, but the pictures with the moon turned out beautifully, and I was very satisfied. They also taught me some poses, so I went without much thought, and the photos turned out lovely. Next time, I would like to have the starry sky captured during a new moon.

Since the sky was cloudy, the start was delayed by about 30 minutes. I understand it can be busy, but I would appreciate a heads-up in advance.

満月だったので思っていたような星空の写真ではなかったですが、月との写真もとてもきれいに撮って頂いたので大満足でした。ポーズも教えてくれたので、あまり何も考えずに行きましたが素敵な写真になりました。次は新月に星空の撮影をしてもらいたいと思いました。
空が曇っていたこともあり、時間が30分程度遅れての開始となりました。忙しいとは思いますが事前に連絡をもらえるとありがたいなと思いました。

The plan itself is commendable. Especially since places like the area around Higashimura and the Quina exhibition facility are difficult to access, this is helpful.

Since it's a loop, the seats on the right side are on the land side and can be dazzling in the sun during this time of year. Additionally, since the windows are generally closed, there may be ventilation issues if there are many participants.

It might also be a good idea to start from Nago or Motobu instead of Naha to increase the number of stay points.

企画そのものは評価できる。特に東村周辺やクイナ展示施設等は行きにくい場所にあるので、助かる。
周回なので右側席は陸側かつこの時期は日向側でまぶしい。また、基本的に窓は締切なので参加者が多い場合は換気の問題が出る。
那覇でなく名護・本部発にして滞在ポイントを増やしても良いかもしれない。

I went on a night tour to explore subtropical plants and animals and to observe the starry sky. Initially, we thought about finding a place on our own, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. Exploring the dark mountain paths with only a flashlight to search for subtropical plants and animals was quite challenging.

We successfully found a coconut crab, and we received explanations about geckos, spiders, and various subtropical plants, which increased our knowledge and made for a fun experience. The starry sky coincided with the best supermoon of 2022; although we couldn't see the Milky Way, we were treated to a view of the moonlight sparkling on the water's surface, a sight that could only be seen on this day. Thank you for your assistance with photography and everything else.

夜の亜熱帯動植物探しと星空見学に行って来ました。もともと自分たちで場所を探して行ってみようかと思っていましたが、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。真っ暗な山道を懐中電灯だけで探検し、亜熱帯動植物を探すのは難しいと思いました。
ヤシガニも無事見つかり、ヤモリ、クモ、亜熱帯植物も色々解説して頂き知識も増えて楽しい体験ができました。星空は、2022年で最高のスーパームーンと重なり、天の川を見ることは出来ませんでしたが、代わりに月夜が水面にキラキラする、この日にしか見れない景色が見れました。写真撮影等、お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

I wanted my 3-year-old child to experience nature, so we participated in a tour that went late into the night. I was a bit anxious since I brought another child along, but all the staff were very attentive, and my child had a truly valuable experience.

We wanted to see coconut crabs and frogs, but it had been a few days with little rain, which lowered our chances of encountering them. However, the staff worked hard to find them, and we were able to see them safely.

We also saw several habu snakes and witnessed cicadas emerging, which made my child very excited. I truly felt that coming to Ishigaki Island was a wonderful experience. I would love to participate again when my child grows up.

3歳の子供に自然の体験をさせたいと思い夜遅くまでのツアーでしたが参加させて頂きました。
もう一人子供も連れてなので不安な面もありましたが、スタッフさん皆さんが気にかけてくださりとても貴重な体験を子どもが経験できました。
ヤシガニやカエルが見たかったのですが、ここ数日雨も少なく遭遇できる確率も低いとのことでしたがスタッフのみなさんが必死に探してくれて無事に見ることができました。
他にもハブも何匹か見たりセミの羽化が見れたりと子どもも大はしゃぎ。石垣島にきてほんとによかったと思える体験ができました。
子どもが成長したらまた参加したいです。

I thought I might doze off for an hour, but I was overwhelmed by the humorous explanations and the captivating charm of the stars, making it an incredibly enjoyable and fulfilling experience that passed in the blink of an eye. Additionally, I took a taxi to get there, and after the event, the staff member came to help us in an area where it was difficult to catch a taxi, introducing us to several taxi companies. Thanks to that, we found one right away. It was a tour that I definitely want to participate in again!

1時間寝てしまうかなと思いつつ参加しましたが、ユーモア溢れる説明と引き込まれる星の魅力に圧倒してしまい、あっという間に過ぎ去るくらい楽しく充実した時間でした。また、今回タクシーで移動したのですが、終了後のタクシーが捕まらない所に担当者さんが来てくださり、数々のタクシー会社さんを紹介してくださりました。お陰ですぐに見つかりました。是非また参加したいと思えるツアーでした！

I was more thrilled in the jungle than I had imagined, and I was able to encounter many creatures. The starry sky viewed from the beach was also enchanting and beautiful. The guide was friendly and approachable, with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I was able to hear many interesting stories. From start to finish, including the shuttle bus, it was a lot of fun. It was a valuable experience and became the best memory of Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

想像していたよりもジャングルでドキドキしましたが、たくさんのいきものたちに出会うことができました。ビーチで見る星空も幻想的で素敵でした。
ガイドさんは気さくで親しみやすく、豊富な知識と経験をお持ちで興味深いお話をたくさん聞かせてもらえました。送迎バスも含めて、最初から最後までずっと楽しかったです。貴重な体験ができ、石垣島の最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Thank you for kindly accommodating us despite the same-day reservation. We were able to see many creatures in the forest that we wouldn't have been able to enter on our own. Just beyond the forest, we discovered a quiet sandy beach with no footprints! It was pitch dark, but it felt special, and I'm glad I participated in this tour. We also had plenty of time to enjoy the starry sky, which left us very satisfied.

当日の予約にも関わらず、快く引き受けてくださりありがとうございました。
自分たちでは入っていけないような森の中でたくさんの生き物が見れました。
森を抜けたところに足跡のついていない静かな砂浜が現れ！
真っ暗でしたが特別感がありこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
星空もゆっくり見る時間をとってくださり、大満足でした。

I had heard that Kaimajima has beautiful stars, but it was even more stunning than I imagined! There are almost no streetlights, and the shooting spots seem to be known only by the locals, so I think I wouldn't have been able to find them at night without their guidance. On the day of the shoot, I stayed at a nearby hotel and rode my bike to the location, and the starry sky along the way was also beautiful and amazing!

Regarding the photos, I received them the following night, and not only was the speed impressive, but seeing the finished product moved me even more! These are definitely not photos that an amateur could take with a smartphone. Since the weather can affect the schedule, whether or not the shoot goes as planned depends on luck, but I strongly recommend participating in the tour for anyone who wants to preserve memories of the starry sky! It became one of the wonderful memories of our honeymoon. Thank you very much!

来間島は星が綺麗と聞いていましたが、想像の何倍も綺麗で感動しました！
街灯はほぼなく、さらに撮影スポットも現地の方しか知らないような場所で、教えていただかないと夜には辿り着けなかったと思います。撮影当日は近くのホテルに宿泊していたので、現地には自転車で向かいましたが到着までの道中も星空が綺麗で素晴らしかったです！
写真についても翌日の夜には送っていただき、スピードはもちろんですが出来上がりを見てさらに感動しました！絶対に素人がスマホで撮影できる写真ではないです。天候に左右されるため予定通り撮影できるかは運もありますが、星空の思い出を形に残したい方はツアーの参加を強くオススメします！！
新婚旅行のいい思い出の1つとなりました。ありがとうございました！

I made a reservation for July 7, but due to heavy clouds, it was canceled and changed to the next day. I was worried it wouldn't be clear on the day, but it turned out beautifully sunny, and I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye—it was amazing. I saw it through the camera monitor, and the photos turned out fantastic. It seems the data will be sent in about 4-5 days, and I'm already looking forward to it. The staff were incredibly friendly, and they even played music during the shoot, which really lifted the mood.

7月7日に予約しましたが、雲が多く開催中止になったため翌日に変更。当日は曇りにならないか不安でしたが綺麗に晴れて天の川も肉眼で見えるほど素晴らしいかったです。
カメラのモニター越しに見ましたがとても素晴らしい写真に出来上がっていました。データが送られてくるのは4-5日後らしいのですが今から楽しみです。
スタッフの方はとにかくフレンドリーで、撮影中に音楽を流す演出もあり、気分も上がりました。

I was amazed by the views of the large rock formations at the Oishi Forest and was able to see the mangroves up close from the walking path. In the Kuina Forest, I had the chance to observe the adorable Yanbaru Kuina up close. The weather was also favorable, and from Cape Hedo at the northernmost point, I could see Yoronjima. I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sea and mountains in the Yanbaru World Heritage Site.

遊歩道からマングローブを間近に見たり、大石林山の景観に圧倒されました。また、クイナの森では愛らしく動くヤンバルクイナを間近で観察できました。
天候にも恵まれ、最北端の辺戸岬からは与論島を見ることができました。
やんばるの世界自然遺産の海と山の素晴らしさに感動しました。

I couldn't see the coconut crab, but I had a great time seeing many other creatures. The nature was rich, and I felt that everyone was doing their best. The guide was also interesting, and the quiz was fun. I want to go again!

ヤシガニは、見れなかったけど、沢山生き物がみれたので楽しかったです。自然が豊かで、みんな頑張っていると思いました。ガイドさんも、面白かったです。クイズも楽しかったです。また行きたいです！

I wanted to enjoy the night in Miyako Island, but it can be dangerous for just travelers, so I joined a tour! I was able to explore while listening to explanations from someone knowledgeable about insects and plants! I was able to spot about three coconut crabs, so I think there's a high chance of encountering them. The starry sky was also filled with information, as they taught us about the constellations, making the time fly by. The staff were very approachable as well. I participated in a dress, but this time I didn't get bitten by any insects. The walking path was a paved stone path, so sandals were fine.

夜の宮古島を楽しみたいけど、旅行者だけじゃ危ないので参加しました！虫や植物に詳しく、説明を聞きながら巡れました！
ヤシガニも3匹ほど見つけることができて高確率で出会えると思います。
星空も、星座を教えてくれたりと情報が盛りだくさんであっという間の時間でした。スタッフさんもすごく関わりやすかったです。
ワンピースで参加しましたが今回は虫に刺されることもなくすぎました。歩く道は、石畳の補正された道なのでサンダルでも大丈夫でした。

I have been to Miyako Island several times, and I have always wanted to join a night tour where I could see the starry sky. This time, I made a last-minute reservation while checking the weather.

The day before, I received a polite phone call with information.

However, on the night of the tour, it seemed that communication between the local staff and the office staff was not going well. Initially, I was told there would be five participants, but it ended up being 14, and there weren't enough lights. In the end, I had to participate without a flashlight in the dark, which was a bit disappointing.

I thought the tour content and the local staff were bright and good. There were many families, and it was lively.

宮古島には何度か行ってますが、
前から、星空画見れるようなナイトツアーに参加したく、
天候と相談しながら今回急きょ申し込みました。

前日に、丁寧な案内の電話もありました。

ただ、当日夜、現地スタッフのかたと、会社の事務のかたの連絡がうまくいっていなかったようで、
最初、五人だと言われていたツアーが、
１４人の参加となり、ライトが足りず、
結局、懐中電灯無しで暗い足元で参加することになってしまい、少し残念でした。

ツアー内容や、現地スタッフのかたは明るくて良かったと思います。

家族連れが多くて、賑やかでした

I recommend the Odd Rock and Giant Stone Course for exploring Oishi Forest Mountain. There are various power spots, and I received a lot of energy. It was amazing to see the Okinawa Rail as well.

大石林山の散策は奇岩・巨石コースがおすすめです。色々とパワースポットがあり、いっぱいパワーを頂きました。ヤンバルクイナも見学できて最高でした。

I previously participated in this course when the Churaumi Aquarium was included. It was fun back then, but I joined again because there were several facilities in Yanbaru that weren't part of the course before.

The Yanbaru Kuina was incredibly cute! Just that made it worth coming. Even though it was through glass, I could observe it quite closely. The seafood set lunch and the souvenir snacks were all delicious as well.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, the cafeteria was quite crowded, and the guide who brought the food seemed to have a tough time. Thank you for your hard work...

I was very satisfied with the content. I would like to participate again.

以前美ら海水族館がコースに入っていた頃に参加した事があります。その時も楽しかったのですが、このコースは以前はなかったやんばるの施設がいくつかあったため再び参加しました。
ヤンバルクイナちゃんがとにかく可愛かった！これだけでも来てよかった。ガラス越しですがかなりじっくり観察できます。お昼の海鮮定食やお土産のお菓子もみんな美味しかったです。
日曜だからか食堂がかなり混んでて、運んでくれるガイドさんが大変そうだった。お疲れ様です…
内容はかなり満足。また参加したいです。

I was glad to see several coconut crabs that I was hoping to see! The guide also taught us various things about the island along the way, making it a meaningful experience. Thank you very much.

However, I felt sad about the amount of trash left on the path leading to the sandy beach during the night tour. Of course, those who litter are the most to blame! But if possible, I would appreciate it if the tour company could also engage in cleaning activities. If the area were cleaner, I think participants would enjoy it even more. Alternatively, I think it would be great to hold a cleanup event.

お目当てのヤシガニが何匹か見れたのでよかったです！
ガイドさんも道中、島について色々教えてくださり有意義な時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

ただ、ナイトツアーをした、砂浜に続く道に捨ててあるゴミの多さに悲しくなりました。もちろん捨てる人が一番悪いです！でももし可能であればツアー会社の方々も清掃活動などしていただければと思いました。きれいなら、参加者はもっと楽しめると思います。もしくは、クリーンアップイベントを開催するなども良いと思いました。

Due to the rain in the evening, the stargazing tour was canceled. The night tour for wildlife observation also had to turn back midway because the trail was muddy. I understand it couldn't be helped, but it was quite disappointing in many ways. However, I was very satisfied because I was able to see the forest in full bloom with the Sagarihana. The guide's efforts to keep the mood up and his stories were also entertaining.

夕方からの雨のため、星空ツアーが中止となった。野生動物観察のナイトツアーも、トレイルがぬかるんでいて途中で引き返し。　仕方ないと思うけれど、いろいろ残念だった。しかし、一番見たかったサガリバナ満開の森は見ることができたので大満足。ガイドのお兄さんの盛り上げようとする頑張りとお話も面白かった。

The weather was nice, so we took photos with the Milky Way as the background. I think we created something great with the posing instructions provided. The next day, I received the photo data, and it turned out even better than I expected, which really moved me ⭐️

The person who took the photos was also very kind and helped me out with a trouble on my end, for which I am truly grateful.

I plan to use this service again if the opportunity arises! Thank you!

天気がよかったのもあり天の川を背景に撮影していただきました。
ポージングも指示していただき、良い物ができたと思います。
翌日写真のデータが届きましたが予想以上に良い仕上がりになっておりとても感動しました⭐️

撮影していただいた方もとても良い方で、
こちら都合のトラブルに対して全力で助けてくださり、感謝しかありません

また機会があったら利用しようと思います！
ありがとうございました！

I was able to catch a glimpse of the coconut crab in the crevices of the rocks. Since it's wild/nature, I understand that it's not guaranteed. However, I felt it would have been nice to have some explanations with photos for those who might not see them. During the stargazing, there wasn't much explanation about the visible stars, just comments like "It's beautiful," so I think having a knowledgeable guide would have increased satisfaction.

The light provided was weak and not very useful, which was disappointing. I think it should be checked in advance. Since we paid nearly 5,000 yen, I hoped for a tour that offered more than just luck in spotting wildlife.

岩場の隙間にいるヤシガニがかろうじて見れました。野生/自然相手なので仕方ないと思います。ただ見れなかった時用に写真などを使って説明があっても良いなと感じました。星空鑑賞では見えている星の説明は特になく、キレイですね〜くらいだったので専門知識のある方にガイドして頂けたら満足度も違ったと思います。
渡されたライトも光が弱く役に立たず残念でした。事前にチェックされた方が良いと思います。
5000円近く払っているので出会えるかどうかは運次第だけではなく、もうひと工夫のあるツアーであってほしかったです。

I was able to see coconut crabs, hermit crabs, stick insects, bats, land crabs, frogs, wild boars, and more.

Although I couldn't see their faces as they were sleeping and completely still, I was able to see a Ryukyu Scops Owl at a very close distance. It seemed to be a very rare case, and it became a wonderful experience.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, unlike anything you can see in the city, and I was able to see shooting stars.

During the tour, there were some areas with uneven footing, but the guide was very attentive and kept reminding us to be careful, so I felt safe walking.

Additionally, I enjoyed a fun time as the guide shared recommendations for local shops and talked about the area!

ヤシガニ、ヤドカリ、ナナフシ、コウモリ、オカガニ、カエル、イノシシ等見ることができました。

眠っていたのか、顔は見れず、微動だにしない状態でしたが
かなり至近距離でリュウキュウコノハズクも見ることが出来ました。
激レアなケースだったようで
とても良い体験になりました。

星空も、都会では見れないぐらい綺麗で、流れ星を見ることができました。

ツアー中は少し足場の悪いところもありましたが
ガイドのお兄さんがまめに注意喚起してくれたので安心して歩けました。

その他、おすすめのお店や、地元の話をしていただき、楽しい時間を過ごせました！

It was truly amazing, and the timing was perfect, so I was able to get beautiful photos. I'm glad I entrusted everything to them; it became a lifelong memory.

本当にすごいですタイミングも良かったので綺麗にとっていただきましたー。全てお任せしてよかったです一生の思い出になりました

I participated with my elderly parents. It was helpful that the tour started and ended in Naha City. I was glad to finally visit Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest, and to meet Kuta-kun, the Okinawa rail! The tour was the day after the rainy season ended, so it was sunny and hot, but the bus travel made it comfortable!

高齢の両親と参加しました。
那覇市内発着が助かりました。
一度行ってみたかった辺戸岬や大石林山、ヤンバルクイナのクータ君にも会えて良かったです！
梅雨明けの次の日にツアーだったので晴天で暑かったけどバス移動なのでらくちんでした！

I was thrilled to have someone take photos that I couldn't capture myself! The staff was kind, which was great. However, the meeting place is dark and narrow, so those who are not used to driving rental cars should be careful. The parking situation might vary by location, but it could be difficult during busy times. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate after several years of reservations, if it's not good on the day, there might be an opportunity to reschedule for the next day if there’s availability, so I recommend booking your reservation early in your stay. They send the data via LINE, which is very helpful. Overall, I was just so happy!

自撮りでは、撮れない写真撮ってもらって感激！
スタッフさんも親切で、良かったです。
ただ、待合せ場所迄は、暗くて狭いのでレンタカーで慣れて無い人は気を付けて下さいね。
駐車場は、場所によると思うけど混雑時は、大変かも？
何年か予約しても天候に恵まれず、ダメだったけど当日駄目でも、空いてれば翌日とか出来る場合があるから、滞在の早い日にちに予約日を入れるのをオススメ。
LINEでデータを送ってくれるので、有難いです。
とにかく嬉しかったです❢
