All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

The weather during my trip was great, so I made a reservation the day before. They kindly accepted my last-minute booking!

On the day, after discussing my desired haircut, they accommodated my wishes and suggested many cute poses. Not only were their photography skills excellent, but the photographer was also a wonderful person, and we had such enjoyable conversations. I had the best time! Choosing to have a starry sky photo session here was definitely the right decision! It's a valuable experience that exceeds the price, and I believe it will create lasting memories. If anyone is hesitating, I wholeheartedly recommend it!

　旅行中の天候が良かったため、前日に予約させていただきました。突然の予約も快く受け入れてくださいました！
　また、当日は希望のカットを相談した上で、希望に沿ってくださり、可愛いポーズもたくさん提案してくださいました。
　写真の腕はもちろんのこと、撮影のお兄さんがとても素敵な方で、会話もとても楽しく最高の時間を過ごすことができました！ここで星空フォトをお願いして大正解です！お値段以上の貴重な体験、思い出ができることと思います。迷っている方がいましたら、心からオススメします！

We progressed through the jungle at night, looking up at the starry sky and the coconut crabs on the sandy beach. It was a very enjoyable experience that we wouldn't normally have. On the way back, our guide recommended many shops, which was very helpful since it was our first day of the trip. Thank you very much.

夜のジャングルを進み、砂浜で見上げる満点の星空とヤシガニさんたち。
普段はできない体験をすることができて、とても楽しく過ごしました。
帰りの車ではガイドさんおすすめのお店をたくさん教えてくださって、旅行初日の参加だってので、とても参考になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I was excited about everything, including the coconut crab, sea snake, and starry sky. The guide's stories were also enjoyable and great.

ヤシガニ、ウミヘビ、星空、全てにおいてワクワクしました。
ガイドさんのお話も楽しく良かったです。

I requested to have my photo taken with the Milky Way in the background.
On the day of the shoot, it was a fun experience, and we finished the photoshoot successfully.
Five days later, the images were sent to me. Thank you very much!

天の川をバックに撮って貰いたいと要望しました♪
撮影当日も、楽しく撮影が終わりました。
撮り終わって5日目に画像が送られて来ました。有難うございました♪

They were very friendly and chatted with me while taking photos, which made it enjoyable and relaxed! After we finished, they recommended some spots and restaurants to check out. I heard that you can see a shooting star every three minutes, so after the shoot, I ended up stargazing for an hour (laughs). Thank you very much!

とっても気さくに喋りながら撮影してくださって、緊張せず楽しかったです！
また終わったあとにオススメのスポットやご飯屋さんなどを教えてもらいました！
3分に1度流れ星が見れるとのことで
撮影の後、流れ星鑑賞を1時間もしてしまいました（笑）
ありがとうございました！

The photos were blurry. Two years ago and last year, it was better because they made more efforts during the shoot. I would have liked them to wait when other lights came in during the shoot.

写真がぶれてたりしました。
2年前、昨年の方のほうが撮影中も工夫してもらえてよかったです。
撮影中、他のライトが入ったときなどは待ってもらいたかったです。

Thanks to Hiro-kun's detailed explanations and guidance, I was able to see the beautiful sight of a spider building its web, which I would usually dislike! The photos of the starry sky turned out beautifully as well! Of course, we also found the coconut crab, and it was clearly visible! My child was able to spot it too and was truly delighted! Thank you very much!

ヒロくんがいろいろ説明しながら案内してくれたおかげで、普段なら嫌がるクモも、巣を作ってる途中の綺麗な様子が見えました！
星空の写真もバッチリ綺麗にとれました！！
もちろんヤシガニも見つけてくれてバッチリ見えました！
うちの子供も見つけることができ、本当に喜んでいました！
ありがとうございました！

On the day, the sky was covered with clouds, and I thought it would be difficult to take photos, but I decided to wait and see.

When the clouds cleared, the photographer skillfully captured the moments.

The photos are absolutely wonderful, and they have become great memories of my trip. I am very satisfied. Thank you very much!

当日は空が雲に覆われてしまい、撮影が難しいかと思いましたが様子を見て少し待つことに。
雲が流れた頃を見計らって手際よく撮影いただきました。

とっても素敵な写真で、旅の思い出になり大満足です。
この度は誠にありがとうございました！

This was my second time participating at the request of my child, and it was amazing again! We jumped into the waterfall, slid down a natural slide, and above all, the zip line was the best! Even though I was nervous, the staff were kind and encouraging, and I managed to complete it, which gave me an incredible sense of accomplishment. It was the best experience to feel the great nature of Okinawa up close. I highly recommend it!

子供のリクエストで2回目の参加でしたが今回も最高でした！滝壺にとびこんでみたり、天然の滑り台をすべったり、、何よりジップラインが最高でした！ドキドキしながらもお兄さん達が優しく励ましてくれて何とかクリアでき達成感はんぱなかったです^_^沖縄の大自然を肌で感じる最高の体験です。オススメです！

I walked through the night in Ingya for about an hour and a bit, and I was able to hear stories about the creatures I encountered along the way. Our guide was Hinata Kimura. She answered the children's questions effortlessly, and I was impressed by her wealth of knowledge. It was fun to talk with her since we are both from Osaka! Meeting the coconut crab was the highlight. Not only did I learn about the creatures, but I also received travel advice for Miyako Island, making it a wonderful memory! Thank you! ☺︎

およそ１時間と少し、夜のインギャーを歩いて、道中出会った生き物たちのお話を聞かせていただきました。担当は、木村ひなたさん。一緒にいた子どもたちの質問にも難なく答えていて、知識が豊富ですごいな〜と感動しました。同じ大阪出身とのことで、お話できて楽しかったです！ヤシガニにも出会えて最高でした。生き物のことだけでなく、宮古島での旅のアドバイスもいただき、素敵な思い出になりました！ありがとうございました☺︎

この旅行は探検のフルパックでした。私たちは多くの動物、ココナッツガニやさまざまな種類の昆虫を見ました。個人的には、星空をじっくりと楽しむ時間がもっとあればよかったと思います。ツアーには多くの外国人が参加していて、途中で英語の説明があったのには驚きました。これは日本では非常に助かります。

The trip is full pack of exploration. We saw many animals, including some coconut crabs, different kind of insects. I personally wish there was more time to sit down and appreciate the starry sky.
I was suprised that there were many foreigners join the tour with English explanation along the way, which is very helpful in Japan.

The weather was wonderful, and when I saw the Milky Way, I couldn't help but shout. I also got to see two blue land crabs, which made me very satisfied. On the way back, I was taken to a spot where I could see the night view of Ishigaki City and the starry sky at the same time, and I was deeply moved.

Thank you, Suzuka and Sebastian.

天気も素晴らしく、天の川が見れた時は、思わず叫んでしまいました。
青いヤシガニも2匹も見れましたし、大満足だったのですが、帰り、高台から石垣市街地の夜景と星空を同時に見られる場所に連れて行って頂き、感動しました。

すずかさん、セバスチャンさん、ありがとうございました。

It was a starry sky like I’ve never seen in the city. The staff were really bright and fun, and they taught me how to take beautiful photos of the night sky and about constellations.

ふつう、都会では見れないほどの満天の星空でした。スタッフさんもすごくあかるくて、楽しかったし、夜空をきれいに撮る写真の撮り方、星座などをおしえてもらいました。

This was my first trip to Iriomote Island.
I booked it with my family of three for the summer vacation.
On the morning of the tour, as we headed to the meeting point (next to the underwater road: in front of the Iriomote Wildcat statue), we spotted the waterfall at our destination far in the distance, which looked quite large even from afar.
Our guide for the day, Minato, taught us the basics of how to ride a canoe and paddle, and then it was time to practice.
I paddled cautiously at first, but quickly got the hang of it.
Since it was a morning plan, the lake surface was calm, allowing us to paddle with ease.
My high school daughter also enjoyed herself without fear, riding along with the guide.
After paddling for a while, mangroves began to appear on the lake surface, and as we continued along the Hinai River, we started to see the primitive landscape of Iriomote Island with mangrove clusters on both sides.
The guide provided various information, including explanations of the course and the names of the plants we encountered.
Once we reached our destination, we got out of the canoe and began trekking towards the waterfall.
As long as we followed the guide's instructions and were careful on the rocky paths and slopes, there were no issues.
I noticed many small children walking along the way, and it seemed that families were participating in large numbers.
After walking for about 20-30 minutes, we finally arrived at the waterfall.
Looking up at the waterfall, which drops from a height of 50 meters with great force, was overwhelming.
Many people were swimming and diving in the pool at the base of the waterfall.
On the way back, we carefully walked down the mountain path, got back in the canoe, and headed to the starting point.
As seawater entered the river, the water level rose and waves began to form, but with the tips we received, we reached the goal without any trouble.
Although the waterfall seemed far away, I felt a sense of accomplishment being able to reach it by canoe and on foot for the first time.
The Yaeyama soba we had at the café afterward was also delicious.
We were all very satisfied with the tour, experiencing the great nature of Iriomote Island.
Thank you very much.

人生初の西表島旅です。
夏休みに家族3人で予約しました。
ツアー当日の朝に集合場所(海中道路横:イリオモテヤマネコ像前)に向かうと、遥か遠くに今から向かう目的地の滝を発見、遠くからでもかなり大きそうな滝に見えます。
当日帯同してくれるガイド(ミナトさん)からカヌーの乗り方、オールの漕ぎ方の基礎を教わればあとは実践あるのみ。
恐る恐る漕ぎましたが、すぐに慣れます。
当日は午前のプランだからか湖面も穏やかで安心して漕ぎ進められました。
高校生の娘もガイドさんに同乗してもらい怖がることなく楽しそうでした。
暫く漕ぎ続けるとマングローブが湖面に立ち現れ始め、比内川を漕ぎ進めると両脇にマングローブ群が拡がる西表島の原始的な風景が見え始めます。
ガイドのコース説明や群生する植物の名前の紹介など色々な情報を教えてくれます。
川を上り着いたらカヌーを降りて、上方の滝を目指してのトレッキング開始。
途中の岩道や勾配も気を付けながらガイドの指示に合わせて進めば問題無しです。
道中で小さなお子さんも沢山歩いていましたがご家族での参加も多いようです。
歩き続けて20-30分でようやく滝に到着。
滝上を見上げると50mの高さからかなりの勢いで落ちてくる迫力に圧倒されます。
滝壺で泳いだりダイブする人も多いです。
帰りも下りの山道を気を付けて歩いて降りて、カヌーに乗りスタートポイントへ。
川に海水が入り水位が上がり波も出始めますがコツを教わり難なく無事にゴール。
距離がありそうに見えた滝でしたが初めてのカヌーと自分の足で最後まで辿り着けた達成感を感じる事が出来ます。
ツアー参加後に併設しているカフェで食べた八重山そばも美味しかったです。
西表島の大自然を肌で感じることが出来て家族全員で大満足なツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I was a bit anxious with around 100 people at the meeting point, but each tour had a conductor, and we were lucky enough to have Naoto as our dedicated guide for our group of two! My first canyoning experience was filled with natural water slides, rock climbing, and jumping, and I felt like a kid again, having so much fun.

集合場所に100名程いて不安でしたが、ツアーごとにコンダクターがついてくださり、我々は幸運にも1組（2人）でなおとくんが専任で案内してくれました！初めてのキャニオニングは自然のウォータースライダーやロッククライミング、ジャンプなど子供の頃のようにはしゃいでました。

Yume's explanation was clear and easy to understand, and her attention to detail as a woman was impressive. I'm glad I participated this time. Thank you!

ゆめさんの説明がハキハキしてわかりやすかったし、女性ならではの気配りがよくできてて今回参加してよかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I went with Naoki-kun's team!!! It was so much fun! I was very satisfied to see the coconut crab! Thank you very much!!

なおくんチームで行ってきました！！！
めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
ヤシガニも見れて大満足です！
ありがとうございました！！

The Pinay Sara Falls exceeded my expectations! The explanations about the plants and animals along the way were interesting and kept me engaged. You'll be walking more than you think, so it's essential to prepare your clothing and gear.

ピナイサーラの滝が想像以上でした！
道中の動植物の説明も面白く退屈しませんでした。
思ったより歩くので服装など準備は必須になります。

I arrived at Kaimanjima for the 22:20 start time. It was my first time on a remote island, and I was nervous since there were almost no streetlights.

I managed to pit in early at what seemed like the meeting place, and when I stepped outside, fireflies were dancing around, and the sky was filled with stars 🌌. I was so impressed by the beautiful sky, just like when I was a child (;[];)

Thanks to Afro-san's appearance, I recognized him right away, and we moved to the spot with just my phone as a light source. When I turned it off, the surroundings were filled with stars 🌟. It was the first time I saw the Milky Way so clearly down low. I've participated in several starry sky tours, but this was the most beautiful one yet.

He also gave precise pose advice for the photos, and we finished quickly! It seems the retouched photos will arrive in about a week. I'm looking forward to it ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ︎

Since the photos are taken one group at a time, you can enjoy yourself without worrying, so I highly recommend it.

22:20分の開始に来間島へ。
初めての離島に、街灯もほぼなくドキドキ。

なんとか集合場所らしき所に早めにﾋﾟｯﾄｲﾝし、外に出たら蛍も飛び交い空は満天の星空🌌子供の頃みて以来の綺麗な空に大感激(;[];)


アフロさんの見た目のお陰で直ぐに分かって、スポットへ移動は携帯のみ持参。ライト代わり。消したら周りは星一面🌟 天の川があんなに下の方にクッキリ見えたの初めてです。 星空ツアーいくつか参加しましたが、過去一綺麗でした。

写真も的確にポーズアドバイスしてくれて、サクッと完了！1週間ほどレタッチ等して届くそうです。楽しみ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ︎

1組ずつ撮影なので気にせず楽しめるのでオススメです。

We participated as two families. It was our first time canoeing, and it was a valuable experience to feel the power of the magnificent mangrove nature. The subsequent trekking led us to the majestic Pinai Sara Falls, where we felt a mystical atmosphere, and it was truly moving! Jumping into the waterfall was incredibly refreshing! The snorkeling tour was also very satisfying, as we got to see beautiful coral and sea turtles. The guide talked a lot with us and was very considerate towards the children, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. I would like to try another tour as well. Thank you very much!

2家族で参加させてもらいました。
初めてのカヌーでマングローブの大自然の迫力を感じれて貴重な体験でした。その後のトラッキングは神秘的な空間を感じながら登った先に壮大なピナイサーラの滝は感動でした！滝壺ドボンも最高に気持ち良かったです！
シュノーケリングは綺麗な珊瑚やウミガメにも会えて大満足なツアーでした！
ガイドさんもたくさんお話してくれて
子どもたちへの気配りもして下さりとても安心して楽しく参加できました。
また違うツアーも体験してみたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。

We were able to see multiple coconut crabs, bats, and hermit crabs during the experience, and the kids were very satisfied. The weather was also great, and the starry sky was amazing. I would love to participate again. Thank you!

体験ではヤシガニも複数見れて、コウモリやヤドカリが見れて子供が大満足してました。また天候も良く、星空も最高でした。また参加したいです、ありがとうございました。

Even children who usually dislike insects were able to experience it without fear, which was great. The starry sky was also very beautiful and moving. Thank you for the enjoyable guidance.

普段虫が嫌いな子供達でも、怖がらず体験できてとてもよかったです。星空もとてもきれいで感動しました。楽しくガイドをしてくださりありがとうございました。

I participated in a night tour on Iriomote Island. I was surprised at how skilled our guide, J, was at finding coconut crabs. He found about eight of them! Thank you, coconut crab hunter J!

西表島でナイトツアー参加しました。
ガイドのJ君ヤシガニ見つけるのうますぎてビックリしました。8匹くらい見つけました！
ヤシガニハンターJ君ありがと

Thank you very much for this experience. I was completely satisfied with the day, enjoying the Pinai Sara Falls in the morning and snorkeling along with the mountains and sea of Iriomote Island in the afternoon. Additionally, I was fortunate to have a great guide, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the activities.

I have done snorkeling at over ten spots in Okinawa, but the coral in Iriomote was the best of all. I was also able to swim with sea turtles.

I definitely want to visit Iriomote Island again.

この度はありがとうごさいました。
午前にピナイサーラの滝、午後はシュノーケリングと西表島の山と海を1日で満喫できて、大満足です。
また、ガイドさんにも恵まれ安心して楽しめました。

シュノーケリングはこれまで沖縄で10ポイント以上行きましたが、どの海よりも最高に西表の珊瑚が素晴らしかったです。また、ウミガメとも一緒に泳ぐことができました。

また、是非西表島を訪れたいです。

The day before, I received a call saying that if we were to go to Yufu Island by rental car, we could take our time without any time constraints. I apologize for the late notice, so we changed our plan to exclude Yufu Island. Thank you for handling the changes with Veltra and for your flexible response.

On the day of the trip, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and half pants for the beach. Before we left, they lent me a waterproof backpack and trekking shoes, and we organized our luggage before heading out.

There were both single and double kayaks available, and since we were participating as a pair, they asked which one we wanted to use.

We set off in a double kayak. It was quite a challenge to synchronize our paddling, so we called out "right, left, right, right, right, left" together, and the guide complimented us, saying, "That's great!" (laughs). I heard that some people end up arguing during this part... (sweat).

After enjoying the kayaking, we moved on to trekking! We took short breaks along the way, and the guide explained the unique plants and animals of the Yaeyama Islands and took photos for us. There were some challenging spots, but we listened carefully to the guide's instructions and communicated with those behind us, climbing together as a group.

Among the people we passed, there were elderly individuals and small children!

We initially planned not to enter the water at Pinai Sara Falls, but seeing everyone enjoying themselves in the heat and the open air made us decide to go in. We carefully entered from the shallow area, and thanks to the life jackets, we were able to float and had a lot of fun.

We chatted while eating our lunch, then retraced our steps and kayaked back.

It seems that showers are available for a fee, but they kindly provided us with a free shower room just for changing.

We were blessed with good weather and wonderful participants, making it a very enjoyable experience.

前日に、レンタカー行動なら由布島は自分達で行った方が時間の制約がなくゆっくりできますよ。連絡遅くてすみません。と電話をくれたので、由布島なしのプランへ変更しました。
ベルトラの変更手続きもしてくださり、柔軟な対応ありがとうございました。

当日は、水着と上下ラッシュガードに海辺用のハーフパンツを着用して現地へ。出発前に防水リュックとトレッキング用の靴を貸してくれ、荷物を整理して出発。

カヌーは1人用と2人用があり、2人で参加したため、どちらにするか聞かれました。

２人用で出発。息を合わせないと大変で、右、左、右、右、右、左と２人で声を出しあって漕いでいたら、ガイドさんに、良いですね〜と言われました（笑）中には、ケンカになってしまう方もいるらしいです。。。苦笑

カヌーを満喫して次はトレッキング！
途中で小休憩も取ってくれますし、八重山特有の植物や動物達を説明してくれたり写真も撮ってくれます。なかなかハードな場所もありましたが、ガイドさんの言葉をきちんと聞いて、後ろの人達にも伝え、みんなで登りました。

すれ違う人達の中には、ご高齢の方や小さな小さなお子様もいました！

ピナイサーラの滝で滝壺へ入らない予定でしたが、暑さと開放感とみんなが気持ち良さそうにしているのをみて入ることにしました。浅瀬から足元を注意しながらゆっくりと入っていき、ライフジャケットのお陰でぷかぷか浮かぶことができて楽しかったです。

お弁当を食べながらおしゃぺりして、またまた来た道を戻り、再びカヌーに乗って戻りました。

シャワーは有料のようですが、着替えのみのため、無料でシャワールームを貸してくれました。

お天気にも参加者のみなさんにも恵まれ、とても楽しかったです。

It was a wonderful time listening to stories about the stars and the moon while using a telescope under the starry sky. They also recommended great spots and times for stargazing, so we were able to do some stargazing on our own the next day, which was great.

星空の下で、望遠鏡も使いながら星と月の話を聞けて、素敵な時間でした。
星空観測にオススメのスポットや時間も教えてもらえたので、翌日も自分たちで星空観測ができてよかったです。

The waterfall was spectacular, and I also enjoyed kayaking. The cave exploration was fascinating thanks to the guide's explanations, making it well worth the visit. Thank you very much.

滝は壮観で、カヤックも楽しめました。洞窟探検はガイドさんの説明が興味をそそり、行った甲斐がありました。ありがとうございました。

After checking the weather conditions for the day, we received information about the meeting place. The two women relied on Google Maps, and since it was midnight and the road was pitch dark, we were really anxious... When we arrived and met the photographer, I was relieved to find he was very kind 😅.

Before the shoot, we discussed the image ideas and received advice. The photographer played music to help us relax as we, who were not used to being photographed, posed for the pictures! The song selection was great! Fortunately, we were able to enjoy a beautiful view of the Milky Way while taking many photos 👍. It was moving 😂.

About a week later, the edited photos were sent to us via Line. My family laughed together, saying they didn't look like composites! I am truly grateful for this trip, the many people we met, and the wonderful weather! I've been to many islands overseas, but Miyako Island was the best!

きちんと当日の天気状況を確認してから、集合場所の連絡をもらいました。女性2人はお知らせの場所をGoogleマップに頼り、真夜中なのでしかも真っ暗の道はめちゃくちゃ不安でした…到着して会ってみたらすごく優しいのカメラマンでホッとしました😅
撮影の前に写真のイメージを打ち合わせアドバイスなど、写真慣れてない棒立ちの私達に音楽をかけながらリラックスして撮影をしました❗️選曲もgood！運良く天の川がとても綺麗に眺めながら、写真をたくさん撮って頂きました👍感動😂
修正して約1週間ほど、Lineでデータを転送されました。家族は合成じゃないのと皆で笑いながら見てました！今回の旅たくさんの人々、そして天気も恵まれて本当に感謝！今まで海外にもたくさんの島に行ったけど、宮古島は最高でした！

The Sagari-bana was incredibly beautiful✨ The moon was full, and I was able to see a very magical view🌝 There were also many crabs🦀 Abe-chan, our guide, not only taught us about the plants and animals of Iriomote but also shared various recommendations and great things about Iriomote! Thank you very much! Thanks to you, I had a wonderful time!

サガリバナとっても綺麗でした✨
ちょうど月も満月でとっても幻想的な景色が見れました🌝
カニもたくさんいました🦀
ガイドをしてくださったあべちゃんには、西表の植物や動物についてだけでなく、おすすめの場所や西表のいいところを色々教えてもらいました！ありがとうございました！おかげさまでとっても楽しめました〜！

The quality of the guides varies greatly. Having participated in another tour in the past and being part of multiple groups this time, I could clearly see the differences in the explanations and handling by other guides. Unfortunately, our female guide's knowledge and explanation skills were not at a level suitable for the job. While it's natural that we might not see stars or creatures, the guide's explanations should meet a certain standard. It felt like we were just walking through the bushes with a student, merely expressing reactions like "This is amazing!" or "That's gross!"

Additionally, regarding logistics, we received no communication about the pickup location until late the night before, and the amount of information required for the consent form was excessive. It would have been better if this had been sent in advance. Since I had to input the information for each family member on my smartphone, it took over 10 minutes just for four people, which is no joke.

There are other similar tours available, so it might be better to consider those.

ガイドの当たり外れが非常に高いです。別ツアーに過去参加したのと、今回複数グループで参加したので、他のガイドの説明やさばきを見ていたから如実なのですが、私たちの担当ガイド女性は知識も説明方法も仕事の現場に出してはいけないレベルでした。星や生き物が見えないこともあるのは自然のことなので仕方ないとして、ガイドの説明は一定水準必要なはずです。これはすごいー、キモいー、と感想述べるだけで、失礼ながら学生の子と茂みを歩いているだけみたいになりました。

またロジですが、前日深夜になるまでピックアップ場所の連絡もなく、記載必要な合意書も異常な量の必要回答量で、これなら事前に送っておいてもらえればな、と思います。家族人数分をスマホで入力しないといけないので、4人だと冗談じゃなくこれだけで10分以上とられます。

他に似たツアーもあるので、そちらのご利用がいいかもしれません。
