All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

They made sure to keep space between our group and others to avoid close contact, and they also prepared tea for us. Most importantly, they provided a thorough explanation about the stars, and before we knew it, an hour had passed! Honestly, I had some concerns about whether it was okay to go during this time, but it was amazing to see so many stars that I've always wanted to see! I never expected to see the Milky Way so beautifully… I definitely want to participate again!

三密回避で、きちんとグループ以外の人達との空間はあけてくださっていたし、お茶も用意してくださって、何より星のことたくさん丁寧に説明してくださって、あっという間に1時間が過ぎました！
正直、この時期に行っても良いのかな？という気持ちはありましたが、念願の星がたくさん見れて最高でした‼︎天の川があんなにきれいに観れるとは…
また、参加したいなぁと思います！

I was completely satisfied with the sense of achievement from activities like canoeing, trekking, waterfall play, and exploring limestone caves! It was my first experience canoeing, but thanks to the thorough instruction, I was able to progress slowly while enjoying the view of the mangroves.

We received a lot of information about plants and creatures as we headed towards the waterfall, and the refreshing feeling when I dove into the waterfall was unforgettable!

Exploring the limestone cave was an incredible adventure, and I truly felt the greatness of nature that took thousands of years to form! I'm glad I participated and was able to experience the natural beauty of Iriomote Island.

カヌーやトレッキング、滝遊び、鍾乳洞の洞窟探検などなど達成感満載で大満足です！
カヌー初体験でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしてもらえたおかげでマングローブなどを眺めながらゆっくり進むことができました。
植物や生物などもたくさんレクチャーしてもらいながら滝を目指し、滝にダイブした時のひんやりさはたまりませんでした！

鍾乳洞は探検感すごく、何万年もかけて出来上がった自然の偉大さを感じました！
西表島の自然を体感できて、参加してよかったです。

I was moved to encounter unique creatures like coconut crabs and habu snakes that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I was able to see several coconut crabs, and it felt like I wanted to see more. However, since they are not often seen on Ishigaki Island, I think it’s worth staying on Iriomote Island and participating in a night tour.

The beach I reached after passing through the jungle was even more impressive with the stars! I was very satisfied to see the Milky Way and shooting stars.

In addition to information about wildlife, plants, and stars, I learned a lot about delicious restaurants, which was very informative.

I would love to participate again!

ヤシガニやハブなど、西表島ならではの生物に出会えて感動しました。
ヤシガニは何個体も見れて、またーって感じでしたが、石垣島ではあまり見られないと言う事で、西表島に宿泊し、ナイトツアーに参加する価値ありだと思いました。

ジャングルを抜けた先のビーチで見た、星に更なる感動！
天の川、流れ星も見れて、大満足です。

生物、植物、星などに加え、ご飯の美味しいお店など幅広い情報を教えて頂き、とても勉強になりました。

また参加させて頂きたいなと思いました！

Kuri-chan, our guide, took us to some hidden spots, and we quickly saw a lot of coconut crabs. We were also able to find fireflies and snakes. Additionally, we visited two spots with a stunning starry sky. There were hardly any people around, and even though it wasn't a new moon, the Milky Way was clearly visible, making the night sky absolutely beautiful! I want to come back during the new moon in May. Thank you very much!

ガイドのくりちゃんが穴場スポットを案内してくれて、ヤシガニはすぐに、たくさん出てきました。また、ホタルもヘビなんかも見つけることができました。さらに、満天の星空スポットを2ヶ所周ることができました。人が全然いないし、新月じゃないのに天の川がはっきり見えるほど綺麗な星空で最高でした！！今度は5月の新月の時期に来たいと思います。ありがとうございました！

Before the tour started, it was quite cloudy, so we were asked for a final confirmation of our willingness to participate (even though the clouds might obstruct our view of the stars). Since my stay was short and I couldn't reschedule to another date, I decided to join, and I was able to see many stars and really enjoyed it.

I was also impressed by the star guide's announcements, which were backed by their extensive knowledge. The visibility of stars varies depending on the weather at that time, so I assume they adapt flexibly each time. There were many moments of spontaneous improvisation.

The pre-participation confirmation and the engaging talks to entertain the guests both reflected a simple yet pure intention to let participants genuinely enjoy the stars, showcasing their consideration and performance. I hope for good weather next time and plan to join again.

ツアー開始前、曇りがちだったため、現地に着いてから最終の意思確認（雲が架かって、星が存分に見れないかもしれないけど参加します？）をされました。短期滞在だったことと、予定が埋まり他日程への振替が出来ないこともあり、結果参加させて頂きましたが、多くの星を見る事ができ楽しめました。
また、星案内人さんの豊富な知識に裏付けされたアナウンスにも感服。その日、その時間の天気によって見えやすい星が異なるので、その都度臨機応変にご対応されているものと推測します。柔軟なアドリブが随所にありました。
参加する前の意思確認や、お客を楽しませるためのトーク、いずれも「参加した方に純粋に星を楽しんでもらう」というシンプルながら高純度の想いがあるからこその配慮やパフォーマンス。
次回は運良く天気になればよいな、と神頼みして参加しようと思います。

The trekking course at Oishi Forest Mountain was not too hard, allowing us to enjoy the feeling of being in nature as we walked. The weather was great, and listening to our guide's thorough explanations made for a perfect day.

During our lunch break, we visited "Yuiyui Kunigami," which had many local products on display, and the soba was delicious.

The Churaumi Aquarium had some areas closed due to the season, but since it was my first visit, I still enjoyed it.

This time, there were only a few participants, so our guide was able to flexibly adjust the schedule, for which I am truly grateful. Thank you for a wonderful day.

大石林山のトレッキングコースはハード過ぎず、自然の中にいる感覚を味わいながら歩くことができました。
天気も良く、ガイドさんの丁寧なご説明を聞きながら最高の1日でした。

昼休憩で訪れた「ゆいゆい国頭」は土地ならではの商品が沢山並んでいて、ソバも美味しかったです。

美ら海水族館は、時期的に閉館になっている所もありましたが、初めて訪れたので楽しめました。

今回は参加者が少人数だったため、ガイドさんが臨機応変にタイムスケジュールを変更して下さったりと、本当に感謝です。
素敵な一日を有難うございました。

It was my first challenge. At first, I was a bit anxious since I was older and it was my first time. The instructor helped me a lot, and I was able to complete it safely until the end. This was the most fulfilling experience I had during my trip to Okinawa. I'm really glad I participated and made great memories.

初めての挑戦でした。
最初は少し不安でした、年齢もそれなりに高いしお初でしたし〜
インストラクターの兄さんに色々助けられて、最後迄無事にやり通しました。
今回沖縄旅行イベントの中で一番達成感を感じる事できました。いい思い出出来て本当に参加して良かったです。

I participated two years ago in the fall, and this time I joined in the summer. Overall, the beautiful starry sky was truly a wonderful experience. Compared to my last visit, I was a little disappointed this time. The guide from my previous visit had great speaking skills and extensive knowledge, which moved me beyond just the starry sky and made me decide to return. However, this time there was no final Q&A session, and I felt there were fewer detailed discussions, such as how many billions of light-years away the stars are.

That said, it was only a slight disappointment compared to my expectations. If it’s your first time, I believe you will undoubtedly be impressed.

They were very kind in helping us adjust the binoculars for the children. My 4-year-old and 7-year-old were delighted, saying, "I can see it!" (Last time, my 2-year-old was mostly asleep.)

前回は2年前の秋に参加。今回は夏に参加しました。
総じて大変な綺麗な星空が見え、本当に素敵な体験でした。
前回との比較では、今回は少しだけがっかり。
前回のガイドさんのトーク力・知識が豊富で、星空だけでなく、そこにも感動し再訪を決めました。
しかし今回は、最後の質問タイムもなく、あの星は何億光年前の光が届いている等の細かな話なども少なかった印象でした。

ただ、期待値に対して少し残念、というレベル。はじめての利用であれば、間違いなく感動されると思います。

子ども用の双眼鏡も、一緒にピントをあわせていただけるなど、とても親切にしていただきました。4歳と7歳の子どもも「見えた！」と喜んでいました。(前回、2歳児はほぼ終始寝ておりました)

I came to Ishigaki Island dreaming of a starry sky, but unfortunately, due to the mischief of the trade winds, my dream did not come true.

However, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements by the staff, I got to see the stars on the ground (the night view). ✨✨

By chance, a coconut crab appeared, and I took pictures with the beautiful pink sagaribana, being careful not to step on the hermit crabs scurrying about... I enjoyed the nighttime adventure on the island.

What impressed me the most was that after the tour, the staff thoroughly assisted me with planning the next day's tour, allowing me to have a wonderful experience! ❗

Thank you so much! ☺️ I had a great time! ➰✨

満点の星空を夢見て石垣島に来たものの、
パイカジ（南風)のいたずらで残念ながら、夢叶わず

でもstaffさんの粋な計らいで、
地上の星(夜景)を見ました。✨✨

運良く、ヤシガニもあらわれ、美しいピンクのサガリバナと共に写真を撮り、せっせと歩くヤドカリたちを踏み潰さないように…と、夜の島のアドベンチャーを楽しみました。

何よりも私が感激したのは、
ツアー後、翌日のツアーの相談にstaffさんがトコトン付き合ってくれて、素晴らしいツアーを体験することができたこと❗

本当にありがとう☺️
楽しかったよ➰✨

Thanks to scheduling a bit earlier, we were able to avoid the crowds! The canoeing was intense on the sun exposure... The mountain climbing afterward required some stamina, but it wasn't overwhelmingly tiring! The waterfall was amazing, and they even took pictures of us jumping in♪ The handmade rice balls we received afterward were delicious!!!! I devoured them!!

Since we had some time before the afternoon snorkeling, we were able to go to a nearby shop to buy ice cream♪ Balas Island is incredibly small, but it's so beautiful! The snorkeling took us to a spot with stunning coral!! There were plenty of fish, and we even saw a sea turtle♪ They took lots of underwater photos too! Since the boat didn't have a roof, sun protection is a must^^;

少し時間を早めてスケジューリングしてくれたおかげで、混雑を避けれました！
カヌーは日焼け強烈です、、、その後の山登りはそれなりに体力いりましたが、めちゃくちゃ疲れるってほどでもないです！
滝は最高だし、飛び込む写真も撮ってくれます♪
その後頂いた手作りのおにぎりが美味しい！！！！ペロリと食べました！！

午後のシュノーケルまで時間があったので、近くの商店でアイスとか買いに行けました♪
バラス島はめちゃくちゃ小さいけど、キレイすぎます！
シュノーケルは最高にサンゴがキレイなところに行けました！！
魚もたくさんいるし、ウミガメも見れました♪
水中写真もたくさん撮ってくれます！
船に屋根がなかったので、日焼け対策は必須です^^;

It was just the right time to see the comet, and I was able to see it with my own eyes! I was so moved! I got lost and arrived late from the meeting time, but I was very grateful for the staff's polite guidance!

ちょうど、彗星が見える時期で
肉眼で見ることができました！感激です！
道に迷ってしまい、集合時間から遅れてしまったのですが
スタッフの皆様の丁寧なご案内で、とてもありがたかったです！

I participated in the starry sky tour because Ishigaki Island has been designated as a starry sky protection area! I chose this tour because I could cancel until 4 PM if the weather was concerning.

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds before departure, which made me a bit anxious, but I boarded a large, beautiful cruise ship, enjoyed a drink, and received a thorough explanation of the precautions from the staff, which made me forget my worries as we set sail!

We soon passed under the Southern Gate Bridge, which looked stunning lit up from the sea! As we headed into the darkness, the stars began to appear! Although there were some clouds, I could see many small stars that I couldn't see back home! I was amazed at how many stars there were, feeling like they were closer than ever!

Our guide, Suzuki, used a laser pointer to explain the stars, making it easy to understand and very interesting! After that, there was a sanshin live performance, and while listening to Okinawan folk songs, the pleasant breeze and the starry sky washed my heart clean!

The night view of Ishigaki Island from the sea was also beautiful, and all the stress from the pandemic life just vanished! Nature is wonderful!

I had the impression that larger group tours often treated customers roughly, but here, the kind staff provided careful explanations and implemented solid infection control measures, allowing me to participate with peace of mind. Thank you very much! I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

石垣島は星空保護区に認定されているということで星空てぃんがーらツアーに参加しました！
天候が気になって16時までならキャンセルもできるということでこちらのツアーにしました！
参加当日は、出航前に少し雲が出ていて少し不安もあるなか、大型の素敵なクルーズ船に乗り込みお酒を頂き席へ、スタッフさんから注意事項の丁寧な説明があり不安も忘れて出航！笑
すぐに昼間通ったサザンゲートブリッジの下をくぐりました、海から見るライトアップしてるサザンゲートブリッジも素敵でした！
いよいよ暗闇へ、向かってくなか星が見えてきました！雲も少しありましたが、地元では見えないような小さな星まで沢山見えました！地元より近くに星が見えて、こんなに星が沢山あるのかと感動しました！
ガイドの鈴木さんがレザーポインターで星の説明をしてくれて分かりやすくて面白かったです！
そのあと三線ライブがあり、沖縄の民謡を聞きながら心地よい風と満天の星空、めちゃくちゃ心洗われました！
海から見る石垣島の夜景も素敵で、自粛生活のストレスが一気に吹き飛びました！
自然て素晴らしい！
大人数のツアーだと雑に扱われるショップさんが多い印象でしたが、こちらは島の優しいスタッフさんの丁寧な説明と、しっかりした感染対策で安心して参加できました。ありがとうございました！
また石垣島に来た際は参加させていただきますね！

I applied for the experience based on reviews and Instagram. From the images, I thought it was too beautiful to be true. However, when I got there, the stunning scenery was right in front of me. I was able to enjoy the most breathtaking view of my life.

口コミやインスタグラムを参考に体験を申し込みました。画像を見る限り、あまりにも美しすぎるので、これは嘘だと思っていました。しかし、現場に行ってみたら美しすぎる景色がそこには広がっていました。今までの人生の中で一番の絶景が堪能できました。

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time. The photo with the Milky Way turned out really great! After the shoot, they kindly recommended some great places in Miyako Island.

初めてあんなに綺麗な星空を見ました。天の川と一緒に撮れてすごくいい写真でした！撮影が終わってからも宮古島のおすすめのお店などを教えて頂いてすごく親切でした(^^)

I was able to see the Neowise comet. They also provided explanations of various constellations. It was nice to lean back in a chair while using binoculars and enjoying the drink service.

ネオワイズド彗星が見れました。他にも色々な星座の説明もしてくれます。イスにもたれながら双眼鏡、ドリンクサービスなどよかったです。

It was a perfect night for a tour, and I had a great time with a friendly guide exploring Sagari-bana and searching for creatures, as well as stargazing. I learned many interesting facts about Iriomote Island, which made me love it even more. Being able to observe the Neowise comet at the beach was also an unforgettable memory.

絶好のナイトツアー日和の中、
親切なガイドさんとサガリバナや生き物探し、星空鑑賞と盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。
西表島に関する豆知識もたくさん教えてもらい、ますます好きになりました。
ビーチにてネオワイズ彗星が運良く観測できたのも最高の思い出です。

The guide was really interesting and fun. I encountered many creatures I had never seen before, and I even came across a snake. Above all, the starry sky was so beautiful that it felt like a dream, and I didn't want to go home...

ガイドのお兄ちゃん、すごく面白く楽しかったです。
今までみたことの生き物と続々と出会い、ハブにも遭遇しました。
そして、何よりも星空がキレイすぎで、夢みたい
、帰りたくはなかったです。。。

I participated in this tour for the first time. I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars, but I was very satisfied as I was able to see many stars. It was great not only to see the stars but also the staff's easy-to-understand explanations of the stars, their names, and how to find constellations, which were clear enough for elementary school children to understand! Even my child, who wasn't very interested in stars, listened with great curiosity. The live sanshin performance also added a nice Okinawan feel, and I enjoyed it comfortably. Additionally, when a rain cloud briefly passed and it started to rain, the staff quickly distributed raincoats, which was a nice service. Social distancing was also properly maintained, which made me feel safe. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely use this shop. Thank you very much! m(__)m

今回、こちらのツアーに初めて参加しました。
星が見えるか不安でしたが、沢山の星を見ることができ大満足でした。
星を見ることが出来たことも良かったですがスタッフの分かりやすい星の説明や名前、星座の見つけ方など小学生の子供にも分かりやすい解説が良かったです！
あまり星に興味がなかった子供も興味津々で話を聞いていました☆
三線ライブも沖縄感が出て心地よく聞く事が出来ました
又、一瞬雨雲がかかり雨が少し降った際はスタッフの方が素早くレインコートを配ってくださりサービスも良かったです。
ソーシャルディスタンスもきちんと保たれ安心でした。
また機会がある際は、また利用しようと思うショップさんでした。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

We participated with two children and four people in total. The night safari was an exciting adventure. The guides were very kind and supportive to the children, helping us find many creatures, and we encountered more animals than we expected. They provided detailed explanations about the creatures, Ishigaki Island, and the starry sky. It was nice to have a more intimate and private feel compared to larger tours. The starry sky and shooting stars were a lucky treat, and they also taught us about many constellations. We were even shown a beautiful night view, making it a memorable tour. Thank you so much for everything!

子供2人と4名で参加させていただきました。
ナイトサファリはドキドキの冒険でした。
子供達にも優しくサポートして下さり、生き物を2人のガイドさんでよくよく探してくれて、思ったよりたくさんの生き物に出会えました。
生き物や石垣島の説明や星空の説明もとても詳しく教えてくれました。大人数のツアーよりアットホームでプライベート感もあって良かったです。
満点の星空と流れ星はラッキーでしたが、たくさんの星座も教えて下さり、おまけの夜景も見せていただき心に残るツアーになりました。本当にお世話になりました！！

I happened to make a reservation on the day of the new moon, and I was a bit nervous walking down the dark path on the first day in Kinomiya. However, thanks to the Google Maps link you sent via email at the time of booking, I arrived safely at the location. It was a day with some clouds, but I managed to take photos at the right moment. The data was sent to me the very next day. The photos were wonderful. Thank you!

たまたま新月の日に予約となり、来宮古初日に暗い道でドキドキしましたが、予約時にメールで送っていただいたGoogleマップのおかげで、無事に現地へ到着しました。多少の雲がある日でしたが、タイミングを見て撮影しました。翌日にすぐ、データが送られてきました。素敵な写真でした。ありがとうございました！

The guide was very kind, and perhaps due to luck, we encountered a total of four coconut crabs, a habu snake, and various insects and frogs whose names I forgot. Once we got to the beach, it was truly a "starry sky"; we could even see which direction the Milky Way was in, and the Big Dipper was clearly visible. Everything was condensed into a short amount of time, so I highly recommend it for a short stay.

ガイドさんもとても親切かつ運もよかったせいか合計4匹のヤシガニ、ハブ、名前は忘れましたが様々な虫やカエル等に遭遇できました。
ビーチに出てからはまさに「満天の星」、天の川がどの方向にあるかも確認できたし北斗七星もはっきり見えました。短い時間にグッと諸々凝縮されているので短期間滞在にはとてもおすすめ。

I was worried about the unstable weather, but I thought it was considerate that they ask on-site whether to participate or not. When the stars are hidden by clouds and not visible, they flexibly provide explanations about stars from other locations. They also take safety into account with mosquito nets and social distancing measures for COVID-19. I was very satisfied to see a sky full of stars that you can't see in the city. I now want to see the stars in different seasons as well.

天候が不安定で大丈夫かなと思いましたが参加するかしないかを現地で聞いてくれるので良心的だなと思いました。
雲で星が隠れたりして見えないときは臨機応変に他の場所の星の説明をしてくれます。ハブ除けネットやコロナのソーシャルディスタンスなど安全にも配慮されています。
都会では見れない満点の星が見られて大満足です。
また違う季節の星も見てみたくなりました。

I participated in the night safari and stargazing. I honestly didn't have high expectations for the night safari, but thanks to our guide, Christian, who is a great person, we were able to see 5 or 6 coconut crabs! I can't believe we actually got to see them!

As for the stargazing, there were so many stars that I didn't even know where to look; it felt like I was being drawn in.

If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be that I wished there were blankets to lie on the sand while stargazing (even though it’s a beach, lying directly on the sand at night is a bit much...). I would also appreciate learning more about the constellations.

That said, I really enjoyed myself and would definitely like to participate again next time.

ナイトサファリと星空鑑賞に参加しました。
ナイトサファリは、正直あまり期待していませんでしたが、ガイドのクリチャンの日頃の行いがいいお蔭で、5匹？6匹？のヤシガニを見ることができました‼️ 本当に見れるなんて‼️
星空は、どこを見ていいのか、分からないくらい、沢山の星があり、すいこまれるようでした。
改善点をあえていうならば、砂浜での星空鑑賞で、寝そべって見るためのブランケットがほしかったです。(砂浜とはいえ、夜そのまま寝そべるのはちょっと…。）星座のこともお勉強いただけるとありがたいです。
とはいえ、楽しませていただきました。次に行くときも、ぜひ、参加したいです。

I was moved to see the constellations I learned about in the past while looking at real stars; it felt like a natural planetarium. The clouds were moving quickly, the weather was favorable, and the Milky Way was simply beautiful!

昔習った星座を、本物の星を見ながら、天然のプラネタリウムのようで感動しました。
雲の流れが早く、天気にも恵まれて、天の川がとにかく綺麗でした！

During my first visit to Miyako Island, I was truly blessed with beautiful weather and stunning starry skies. Mr. Hanada, who took the photos, was very kind and introduced me to recommended spots on Miyako Island, making it a wonderful trip! Thank you!

初めての宮古島で、本当に天気に恵まれて綺麗な星空が見れました。撮影頂いた花田さんはとても親切で、宮古島のおすすめスポットを紹介して頂き良い旅行になりました！ありがとうございました！

It's difficult to get around without a car. I participated with the aim of visiting Cape Hedo and Daichi Shurin. Both places have stunning views, but it's a shame that the time spent there was short. On the way back, if you get caught in traffic, it can take quite a while to return to Naha. If you participate on your last day in Okinawa, you might miss your flight.

車が無いと行き辛い、辺戸岬、大石林山を目当てに参加しました。
両方とも景色が素晴らしいのに、所要時間が短いのが残念でした。
帰りは渋滞にはまると、那覇への帰りが相当遅くなることもあるみたいです。
沖縄最終日に参加する場合は、飛行機に間に合わなくなってしまうかも？

During the seated photo shoot, they provided a small cushion, so my bottom didn't hurt! Haha. They also kindly shared recommendations for spots in Miyako Island. I'm looking forward to the photos!

座っての撮影の際
小さなクッションを用意してくださっていて
お尻が痛くなくてすみました！笑
宮古島のオススメスポットも教えていただき
親切に対応していただきました。
写真楽しみにしてます！

I participated with my 2-year-old child. The weather was great that day, and the sky was filled with stars all the way to the horizon, with the Milky Way visible—it was absolutely beautiful. It was my first time visiting Miyako Island, and the location was somewhere you couldn't reach without guidance, so I was glad to join the tour. I was worried about whether my child would stay still for a while to take photos, but they kindly encouraged us, and we managed to get some great shots! They also shared recommended spots in Miyako Island, and I fell in love with the place.

2歳の子連れで参加しました。
当日は天候に恵まれたこともあり、地平線近くまで一面星空で、天の川も見えてとっても綺麗でした。宮古島に来るの初めてで、知らないと辿り着けない場所にあったので、ツアーに参加して良かったです。子供がしばらく動かないで撮影できるか心配でしたが、優しくお声がけもしてもらって、ちゃんと撮れました！
おすすめの宮古島のスポットも教えていただいて、宮古島が好きになりました。

The stargazing tour was too bright due to the full moon, so we did a lot of night safaris instead. It was a rare experience to see wild snakes and scorpions, not just in a zoo. They provided thorough explanations regarding safety, and as long as you listen carefully to the guide, you can enjoy it without any issues.

星空ツアーは満月のため明るすぎると言うことで、ナイトサファリを多くやって頂きました。動物園ではなく、野生のハブやサソリが観れたのは貴重な経験でした。安全に対してもしっかり説明して頂けましたし、しっかりガイドさんの話を聞けば問題無く楽しむことができます。

The explanations were great, the view was excellent, and it was the best! I want to visit Ishigaki Island again, and I also want to start looking for stars on my own in the future.

説明もよくて、見晴らしもよくて、最高！
また石垣島に来たくなったのと、今後は自分でもは星を探していきたいとおもいました。
