All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

Thank you for the gentle guidance during my first canoeing experience! It was a shame that the waves were too high to enter the cave, but I had so much fun that I definitely want to go again! I know it's a tough job both physically and mentally, but please take care of yourself and continue to show that wonderful smile! ❤️

初のカヌーでしたが、優しく指導してくれてありがとうございました!波が高くて洞窟に入れなかったのが残念だったけど、それでもまた行きたいと思うくらい楽しかったです!体力気力とも大変なお仕事だと思うけど、体に気をつけてまた、その素敵な笑顔を見せてくださいね❤

It was my first snorkeling experience, and it was even more fun than I expected—truly amazing. The Pumpkin Cave was also very impressive. The cheerful guide from Osaka was very kind and took many great photos, leaving me with wonderful memories. Thank you so much!

初めてのシュノーケリング体験でしたが、予想以上に楽しくて本当に最高でした。
パンプキン鍾乳洞もとても見応えがありました。
ガイドの元気な大阪のお兄さんが、とても親切で、沢山いい写真を撮ってくれていい思い出が残せました。本当にありがとうございました！

I would like to express my gratitude to the staff and the owner for their great support. My family participated in the tour, but we struggled with the canoeing. However, the female staff member kindly supported us and took great photos from good positions. I really appreciated her consideration.

Additionally, the owner shared various stories about Iriomote Island during our car ride, for which I am thankful. When my smartphone ran out of battery and I couldn't present my ticket for the ferry to Ishigaki Island, the owner kindly followed up and checked on us.

Thank you for all your help. Next time I visit Iriomote Island, I would like to join a different tour! I will definitely be back!

スタッフさん初めて、オーナーさんには
大変お世話になりました。
家族でツアーに参加しましたが、うまく
カヌーが進まずで、、
でもスタッフの女性の方が、私たち家族を親切にサポートしてくれたり、写真をいいポジションで撮ってくれたり。。配慮して頂きました。
また、オーナーさんには車で西表島の色々な話しを聞かせて頂いたり、感謝です。
スマホの電源が無くなり、石垣島行きの舟のチケットが出せなくなった時は、心配して着いて来てくれたり、、
そのせつはお世話になりました。
次に西表島に行った時は違うツアーに参加したいです！リピ確定！

Snorkeling was amazing! I was worried about the typhoon, but the weather was clear! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I was so excited the whole time. I encountered a sea turtle, and its sleeping姿 was so cute! I was healed by the sight of it sleeping peacefully. The staff were kind, and I was able to enjoy it safely, making it the best memory. I definitely want to go again!

シュノーケリングめっちゃ良かった！
台風が心配だったけど天気は快晴！
海はめちゃくちゃキレイで、テンション上がりっぱなしでした。ウミガメに出会えたんだけど、ウミガメの寝てる姿、すごくかわいかった！ゆっくり気持ちよさそうに睡眠してる姿に癒されました。スタッフも優しくて、安全に楽しめたし、最高の思い出になった。
また絶対行きたい！

The meeting place was in front of the vending machine at Uehara Port, and I confirmed this by phone the day before, which made it easy to find on the day of the tour. I was accompanied by Yume-san, who was friendly and very cute!

Unfortunately, we couldn't land on Barasu Island due to the sea conditions, but I hope to have a chance to try again someday. The snorkeling was incredibly beautiful! I heard that after a typhoon, the visibility is even clearer, and I was lucky to experience that!

The waves were higher than usual, making it a bit challenging to swim, but Yume-san was keeping a close eye on us, which made me feel safe while swimming. It was fun to touch a large sea cucumber and see a sea snake!

After a lunch break, we went for a mangrove canoeing experience. Yume-san taught us various interesting facts, which was educational! The canoe was for two people. I was worried about whether I could paddle properly, but surprisingly, I picked it up quickly!

The scenery was fantastically beautiful, and I encountered a hermit crab of a size I had never seen before. Overall, it was a lot of fun. At the end, there was a place to take a shower as well. I had the best experience on this tour with Yume-san. Her photography skills were also outstanding, which was impressive! Thank you very much!

集合場所は上原港の自販機の前と前日にお電話確認あり、当日も分かりやすかったです。
今回ツアーは夢さんに同行させて頂きましたが気さくでとっても可愛い方でした☆
バラス島は海の状況で足をついての上陸は出来ず残念でしたがまたいつかリベンジ出来たらと思います。
シュノーケリングはとにかく綺麗でした☆
台風後はよりクリアに見えるとのこと！
ラッキーでした☆
波がいつもより高くて泳ぐのに少し苦労しついていくのが大変でしたが、夢さんがしっかり見てくれていて安心して泳ぐ事が出来ました。
大きなナマコを触らせてくれたりウミヘビ見れたりと楽しかったです♪
お昼休憩を挟み、午後はマングローブカヌーさ。
色々な知識を教えてくれて、勉強になりました‼︎
カヌーは2人乗り。ちゃんと漕げるか不安でしたが、意外と早く習得出来ました！
幻想的な綺麗な景色で、見た事ない大きさのヤドカリに出会えたり、とにかく楽しかったです。
終わりにシャワーも浴びれる所もありました。夢さんと一緒に同行させてもらえて最高のツアーを体験させて頂きました。
写真センスも抜群に良くて感激です☆
ありがとうございました♪

Due to the cancellation at Uehara Port, I entered Iriomote Island from Ohara Port, and they explained the transportation methods over the phone in advance. Kayaking while explaining about the plants and creatures, as well as trekking through the jungle, was enjoyable.

After the tour, there was a place to change and take a shower. I was also happy that they took several photos during the tour and sent them to me right away. On the way back, instead of being dropped off at the hotel, I was taken to Hoshizuna Beach, which I was able to enjoy as well.

The guide was very kind and interacted well with my children, making my 7 and 9-year-olds feel safe and have fun. When I mentioned that our plans for the next day were canceled due to the approaching typhoon, they recommended ways to spend our time. The wild boar yukhoe I had at the restaurant they suggested for the next evening was very delicious!

Thanks to them, it was a very enjoyable trip. If I have the opportunity to come back to Iriomote Island, I would like to ask for their services again. Thank you!

上原港欠航のために大原港から西表島に入りましたが、移動方法についても事前に電話で説明してくださいました。植物や生き物についての説明をしていただきながらのカヤック、ジャングルのトレッキングも楽しかったです。
ツアー後は着替えやシャワーができる場所がありました。
ツアー中に何度か写真を撮ってくださって、すぐに送っていただけたことも嬉しかったです。
帰りはホテルではなく星砂の浜に送っていただけたので、そちらも楽しむことができました。
ガイドさんはとても優しい方で、子供にも上手に声をかけていただき、7歳と9歳の子供も安心して楽しく過ごせました。台風接近の影響で翌日の予定がなくなり困っていることを伝えると、おすすめの過ごし方を教えてくださいました。翌日の夜に教えていただいたお店で食べたイノシシのユッケはとても美味しかったです！
おかげさまでとても楽しい旅行となりました。
また西表島に来る機会があればお願いしたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

- I was amazed by the presence of the Pumpkin Cave! The surprise elements made it incredibly fun, haha! The attentive support from the cheerful young man allowed me to fully enjoy the experience!
- I had the impression that paddling while standing on a SUP would be extremely difficult, but thanks to the careful instruction from the friendly young man, even beginners like me had a blast! It was the best!
- During the sea turtle snorkeling, I was able to see the turtles up close, almost at zero distance! The young man who guided us was thoughtful about the photo angles, which I really appreciated!

・パンプキン鍾乳洞の存在感にビックリでした！サプライズな流れもあってめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです笑
爽やかな笑顔のお兄さんの手厚いフォローもあって満喫できました！
・SUPは立って漕ぐのがとんでもなく難しそうなイメージだったんですが、ワカチコなお兄さんの丁寧な指導もあって、初心者でも目一杯楽しめました！最高でした！
・ウミガメシュノーケリングはもうウミガメとゼロ距離になるくらい間近で見ることができました！若いお兄さんが先導してくれましたが写真の画角も含めて工夫されててありがたかったです！

Thank you, Yuuri, for the wonderful tour! 😊
Thanks to you, I made some very enjoyable memories! ✨
I appreciate you taking so many photos! 📸😉

Also, I went to the recommended restaurant you told me about!
It was incredibly delicious, and I was very satisfied! 🍽️✨

When I go to Miyako Island again, I would love to join your tour! ✌️

Thank you so much! 🫶

ゆうり君、日は素敵なツアーをありがとうございました😊
ゆうり君のおかげで、とても楽しい思い出ができました✨
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて感謝しています！📸😉

あと、教えてくれたおすすめのレストランにも行きましたよ！
すごく美味しくて大満足でした🍽️✨

また宮古島に行くときは、ゆうり君のツアーに参加したいです！✌️

本当にありがとうございました🫶

Experience (Rei) ★★★★★
Administrative Communication ★★★☆☆

The breakdown of the ratings is as above.

Our family had this experience with our child (4th grade boy)!
It was our first time canoeing and snorkeling.
We were a bit anxious about the full-day course, but Rei, who was in charge, had a calm demeanor and a gentle tone, so my son quickly warmed up to him.

Rei's calm approach allowed my son to participate with confidence, and even after we returned home, he said he had a great time!

Since it was a joint experience with international participants, I imagine it was challenging with explanations in both English and Japanese, but we received careful attention!

◾️ Pumpkin Cave ◾️
At Pumpkin Cave, you jump down on the way back, but I was surprised because I didn’t know about the jump due to my lack of research.

My son initially said he was scared, but Rei encouraged him by saying, "You can do it!" and patiently waited without rushing him, so he was able to jump safely!
The international participants on the tour were very supportive, and it seemed to boost my son's confidence as he kept saying he wanted to do it again and would like to come back.

◾️ Snorkeling ◾️
We saw sea turtles!
We chased after them as they moved around, but we were able to observe them closely, which was amazing!
Moreover, we took plenty of photos and videos, which was really great!
My husband can't swim, so he was holding onto a float the whole time, and I was worried that Rei might get tired.

Overall, the experience was packed with activities, and we enjoyed every moment!

I highly recommend that you try both experiences!

体験（レイさん）★★★★★
事務連絡　　　　★★★☆☆

評価内訳は上記のとおりです。

我が家は子連れ（小4.男子）での体験でした！
初めてのカヌーに、初めてのシュノーケリング。
しかも1日満喫コースで少し不安がありましたが、担当してくださったレイさんが落ち着いた雰囲気の方で、口調も優しかったので息子はすぐに懐いてました。

落ち着いて対応してくれるので、息子も安心して参加できていたようで、帰った後も楽しかった！と言っていました。

海外の方との合同だったので、説明が英語・日本語で大変だったかと思いますが、
丁寧に対応していただきました！

◾️パンプキン鍾乳洞◾️
パンプキン鍾乳洞では、帰りは飛び降りるのですが…私の調査不足か、飛び降りるとは知らずビックリしました。

息子は最初はこわい！と言っていたのですが、大丈夫！出来る！と声かけをしてくださり、かといって焦らせずに待ってくださったので、無事に飛び降りることができました‼︎
一緒にツアーを回っていた海外の方も、すごく応援してくれて、本人も飛べたことに自信がついたのか、ずーっと、もう一回やりたい。また来たい。と連呼していました。


◾️シュノーケリング◾️
ウミガメ！見られました‼︎
そして、その日のウミガメがあちこちに行くために追いかけまくりましたが、じっくり見ることができて感動！
更に、写真もたくさん、動画もしっかり撮っていただいて、本当に良かったです！
主人は泳げないため、ずーっと浮き輪に捕まっていたので、レイさんは疲れたのではないかと心配でした。

とにかく内容てんこ盛りでしたが、全部満喫できて楽しかったです！

是非、どちらも体験してきてください！

I thoroughly enjoyed the sunset sinking on the horizon! It was more impressive than watching it from the beach, and it became a great memory. It was hot while the sun was out, but it became cool and comfortable as it set. You get quite wet when getting on and off the boat or when paddling, so I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Until now, I've enjoyed activities like snorkeling in Okinawa, but I highly recommend this as well!

水平線に沈む夕陽をしっかり楽しめました！
海岸で見たりするよりも迫力があり、良い思い出になりました。
陽が出ている時は暑いですが沈むと涼しく快適でした。ボートへの乗り降りや漕ぐ際の跳ね返りで結構濡れるので濡れても良い服装が良いと思います。これまで沖縄ではシュノーケル等海でのアクティビティを楽しんでましたが、こちらも強くおすすめします！

Due to the typhoon, we were unable to go snorkeling, but the staff were very flexible and we were able to experience fulfilling activities! During the drive, they also shared recommendations for sightseeing spots, which made the overall trip feel more enriching. Stand-up paddleboarding was incredibly fun!

台風の影響でシュノーケリングを行うことが出来なくなってしまいましたが、スタッフの皆さんが柔軟に対応してくださり、充実したアクティビティを体験することが出来ました！
車での移動時間もおすすめの観光スポットなどを教えていただき、旅行全体の充実度が上がった気がします
サップ最高に楽しいです！

I experienced snorkeling for the first time. The instructor was cheerful and had a great sense of humor. When I went, I happened to encounter a sea turtle while swimming, and I even took a commemorative photo with the turtle.

初めてシュノーケリングの体験をしました
インストラクターの方が陽気でトークが面白かったです
私が行った時は偶然泳いでいるウミガメに出会うことができ、ウミガメとの記念撮影もしました

It was a slightly exaggerated title, but for me, who was experiencing everything for the first time, it felt like all my efforts in everyday life were rewarded through this activity.

The communication with the participants (there's a bit of a lottery element here) and the cheerful, energetic staff was also one of the factors that lifted my spirits and made it very enjoyable.

What made me feel the world around me...

It was the great nature of Ishigaki Island!

And the surreal feeling of stepping into that environment to do SUP and snorkeling.

However, it's also true that these experiences are hard to come by without knowledgeable people guiding you.

There are probably various local rules as well (seriously, right?).

Our family has decided that our next activity will definitely be with pipi!

Thank you so much for everything this time! I'm looking forward to the day we can meet again!

少し大袈裟なタイトルでしたが💦

全てが初めての体験の私にとっては日頃の
現実での頑張りが全て報われたような気に
なれたそんなアクティビティでした😊

参加される方（ここはガチャ要素ですが） や明るく元気なスタッフの方達とのコミュニケーションもとても楽しく気分をアゲて頂いた要因のひとつとなりました。

私が何に世界線を感じたのか...

それは石垣島の大自然！✨

そしてそこに足を踏み入れてSUPやシュノーケリングをしてるという非現実感です🏝️

ですがこれらはやはり豊富な知識を持った人たちなくしてなかなか経験する事ができないのもまた事実です。

いろんなローカルルールも
あるでしょうしね（真面目かw）

わが家は次もアクティビティは
pipiさんで決まりです👍

この度は本当にお世話になりました！
また会える日を楽しみにしております😁

It was my first experience riding a canoe, and I was nervous, but the guide (Team Kawai) provided excellent guidance, and I quickly got used to the canoe. The mangrove forest was very beautiful, and I was able to see various creatures, which was fun! It was even better than I imagined! It was a very satisfying tour.

カヌーに乗るのは初めての経験で緊張しましたが、ガイドさん(チーム関さん)がしっかりと誘導してくださり、カヌーにもすぐに慣れることができました。
マングローブ樹林はとても美しく、またいろんな生き物を見ることができて楽しかったです！想像以上によかった！大満足のツアーでした。

Although it was a small group, it was a collective activity, so the pace and understanding varied among participants. Therefore, the instructor's leadership was the key point.

Mr. Okubo from Monsoon was able to assess the participants' abilities and provided appropriate instructions and guidance. As a result, the most important safety considerations and attentiveness to those who needed extra care were perfect, allowing us to participate with peace of mind and enjoy ourselves greatly with others.

Additionally, Mr. Okubo had a wealth of knowledge about the nature of Iriomote, and his strong love for Iriomote was evident in his insights about trees, flowers, animals, fish, and weather, earning him more than a perfect score (the rice balls were delicious too).

Thank you very much. I will definitely return. I wish for the continued success of Monsoon.

小集団とは言え、団体行動ですので、参加者（グループ）により、行動スピードや、理解力が違う為、インストラクターのリーダーシップが一番のポイントです

今回のモンスーンの大久保さんは、参加者の力量を把握し適宜指示、誘導を行なっていました
その為、最重要の安全配慮、弱い方への気配りが完璧で安心して参加し他の方と共に大いに楽しむ事が出来ました

又、西表の自然知識が豊富で、樹木、花、動物、魚、天気など西表愛が強く感じられて、100点満点以上でした（🍙も美味しかった）

大変ありがとうございました　
もちろんリピートは必ず行きます
モンスーンさんの益々の発展をお祈り申し上げます

I experienced canoeing and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. The tour guide was friendly and shared a lot of knowledge about Ishigaki. It was fun, and I highly recommend it!

カヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングを体験しました。ツアーガイドの方も気さくで石垣のことをたくさん知れました。楽しかったです、オススメです！

Canoe & Cave Tour
I participated in a canoe and cave tour. The instructor, Tecchan, guided us very carefully, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The course allowed us to truly feel the charm of nature, with stunning scenery that was perfect for photos.

In the cave, I was moved by the enchanting atmosphere, and while canoeing, I spent a pleasant time gliding along the calm sea. Tecchan's explanations were easy to understand, and he answered questions in a friendly manner, allowing us to relax throughout the tour.

What impressed me the most was Tecchan's personality. His lively talk, characteristic of someone from Kansai, kept smiles on our faces throughout the tour. His way of speaking and attentiveness brightened the atmosphere, making it easy to connect with him even as a first-time meeting.

For those looking for activities in Miyako Island, I highly recommend Tecchan's tour. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you!

カヌー🛶＆鍾乳洞ツアー🌊
カヌーと鍾乳洞ツアーに参加しました。インストラクターのてっちゃんがとても丁寧に案内してくださり、安心して楽しむことができました。自然の魅力をしっかり感じられるコースで、景色も素晴らしく、写真映えも抜群です。

鍾乳洞では幻想的な空間に感動し、カヌーでは穏やかな海をゆったりと進みながら、心地よい時間を過ごせました。てっちゃんの説明はわかりやすく、質問にも気さくに答えてくださって、終始リラックスして参加できました。

そして何より印象的だったのは、てっちゃんの人柄です。関西出身ならではの軽快なトークで、ツアー中ずっと笑顔が絶えませんでした。場の雰囲気を明るくしてくれる話し方や気配りがとても心地よく、初対面でもすぐに打ち解けられる魅力を持った方だと思います。

宮古島でアクティビティを探している方には、ぜひてっちゃんのツアーをおすすめしたいです。また機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

It was my first time doing SUP, but with the kind guidance of the instructor, I was able to paddle out with confidence. The water surrounded by mangrove forests was very calm, and the time spent slowly moving while listening to the sounds of birds and the wind was an exceptional healing experience. It was a tour that even beginners could enjoy without difficulty, allowing me to refresh my mind in nature.

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドさんの親切な指導で安心して漕ぎ出すことができました。マングローブの林に囲まれた水面はとても穏やかで、鳥の声や風の音を聞きながらゆっくり進む時間は格別の癒やし。初心者でも無理なく楽しめて、大自然に心からリフレッシュできるツアーでした。

The weather was great, and I thoroughly enjoyed canoeing and trekking. While canoeing through the mangroves of Iriomote Island, I was able to enjoy the experience while listening to the guide's detailed explanations. The trekking was quite steep, with rocks and tree roots making it slippery, but with the guide's help, I was able to safely make it to the waterfall. The waterfall was also magnificent. During both the canoeing and trekking, we spotted some rare creatures, and the explanations made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I believe the guide was very reliable. Thank you very much.

天気も良く、カヌーとトレッキングを堪能できました。カヌーでは西表島のマングローブの中をゆっくりカヌーで行くのですが、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら堪能できました。トレッキングはかなり急で、岩や木の根などがあり滑りやすいのですが、ガイドさんについて安全に上がって行き滝に到着する事ができました。滝も素晴らしかったです。カヌー、トレッキング中も珍しい生き物を見つけて説明していただき終始楽しく参加できました。ガイドさんが大変信頼できる方だと思います。ありがとうございました。

It was an experience that allowed me to fully appreciate the unique nature of Okinawa. As we moved across the calm water, we were able to touch nature and creatures that are usually hard to encounter. The guide carefully explained the animals and plants, making it not just about enjoying the scenery, but also learning about the natural processes behind it, which was a great attraction. The only sounds we heard during this peaceful time were the voices of birds and the sound of water. It was a wonderful escape from the everyday, and I had a very fulfilling time.

At one point, a mongoose popped out from a hole by the riverbank, which really got my excitement up! It's a shame I missed the chance to take a photo 🫤

I highly recommend this experience for creating memories of your trip to Okinawa!

沖縄ならではの自然を存分に感じられる体験でした。静かな水面を進むと、普段はなかなか触れられない自然、生き物に触れることができます。
ガイドの方が生き物や植物について丁寧に教えてくださるので、ただ景色を眺めるだけでなく、背景にある自然の営みを知れるのも魅力でした。穏やかな時間の中で耳に入るのは鳥の声や水の音だけ。心地よい非日常を味わうことができ、とても充実した時間になりました。

途中で河岸の穴からマングースが出てきてとてもテンションが上がりました！写真撮り損ねて残念です🫤

沖縄旅行の思い出づくりにおすすめしたい体験です！

It can be summed up in one word: amazing.
I was able to meet my dream sea turtles, and the Pumpkin Cave was mystical and moving...

Moreover, thanks to our tour guide, "Wakachiko's older brother," we had an even more enjoyable time!
I'm really glad I found this tour.
The other staff members were also young, cheerful, energetic, and lively!
However, they were also very attentive to safety, making it a place where families with children can enjoy themselves with peace of mind!

If I have the chance to go to Miyako Island again, I will participate in other tours as well!
I look forward to it again next time!

最高の一言に尽きます。
夢だった海亀にも会うことができ、パンプキン鍾乳洞も神秘的で感動しました…

更に、ツアーガイドを担当してくれた「ワカチコなお兄さん」のおかげで、もっともっと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！！
このツアーに出会えて本当に良かった。
他のスタッフさんたちも若くて、明るく、元気があって賑やか！
でも、ちゃんと安全面への配慮が行き届いていて、お子様を連れている方でも安心して楽しめるなぁと感じました〜！

また宮古島に行く機会があれば、他のツアーにも参加します！
その時はまた、よろしくお願いしますね〜！

It's not a problem if you've never been canoeing before. The guide mentioned that towards the end, their arms get tired and feel swollen, but I personally didn't feel that way. You can see the mangrove forest up close and even touch it.

カヌーを乗ったことがなくても問題ないです。ガイドの人は結構最後ら辺は腕が疲れてパンパンになると言ってましたが、私自身は特にパンパンにはなってないです。マングローブの森を身近で見ることができ、触ることもできます。

We participated as a family of four. Our tour was originally scheduled for 9:30, but due to the weather, it was changed to the 15:00 tour. The tide and weather can be unpredictable, but I feel lucky to have been able to join this main event in Miyako Island.

We just had to change into our swimsuits and gather in the parking lot, and then we were provided with life jackets and marine shoes to head to the beach.

We joined the tour by Miyako Island Adventure pipi, and we were guided by the wonderful Ricky, who was both friendly and attentive! During the transfer to the beach, he engaged us in enjoyable conversations while canoeing, which made us feel at ease. In the limestone cave, he carefully explained the importance of history and natural heritage, making it a truly memorable and fantastic tour.

My child, who wished to have an adventure like in "Itte Q," had their dream fulfilled, and we had a unique experience that left us very satisfied. Thank you very much.

家族4人で参加させてもらいました。9時半の予定でしたが、天候の関係で15時のツアーに変更となりました。潮位や天候に左右されるのですが、今回の宮古島のメインイベントでしたので運よく参加できたと思います。

水着に着替えて駐車場に集合するだけで、後はライフジャケットとマリンシューズも貸してもらいビーチへ移動。

宮古島 Adventure pipiのツアーに参加しましたが、笑顔も気配りも素敵なリッキーさんにガイドしてもらいました！ビーチまでの移動中もカヌーも楽しく話しかけてもらい安心して参加できましたし、鍾乳洞では歴史や自然遺産の大切さを丁寧に教えていただきとても記憶に残る素晴らしいツアーでした。

イッテＱのような探検がしたいと言っていた子供の願いを叶えてもらい、唯一無二の体験ができ、非常に満足しています。ありがとうございました。

I was very healed by the great nature of Iriomote Island, with its sea, mountains, mangrove forests, and the tidal flats that appeared. It had been a while since I went kayaking, but the pre-ride briefing was easy to understand. The guide kindly took my friends' children along with him and shared information about the island beyond the tour. I really appreciated all the kindness. There are sights, sounds, colors, and energy that only those who have been there can understand, and I highly recommend it. Thank you to the guide from Chura Nesia.

海、山、マングローブの森、現れた干潟と見渡す限り大自然の西表島にとても癒されました。久しぶりのカヤックでしたが、乗る前の事前レクチャーで分かりやすく教えてくださり、友人の子供達はガイドさんと一緒に乗せてくださり、ツアー以外の島のことも教えてくださったりと色々とても親切にしてくださり、とても有り難かったです。行った人にしか分からない、景色、音、色、エネルギーがあり、とてもオススメです。ガイドをしてくださった、ちゅらねしあの方ありがとうございます。

The waterfall looked so beautiful while floating in the basin that it felt unreal. I could see four sea turtles, and the corals were amazing, with the water clarity being top-notch.

The staff were also very attentive and made the experience wonderful.

滝は滝壺に浮かびながら見ると現実とは思えないほど良く、海は海亀も４匹見られたり、サンゴもすごく、透明度も最高でした。

スタッフの方もいろいろ気にかけてくれて最高でした。

I participated in Yumi's tour. I was a beginner at both snorkeling and canoeing, but the explanations were thorough and easy to understand, so I felt safe participating. The stunning coral during snorkeling was impressive! The mangroves during canoeing were also very beautiful. While touring, I learned a lot of interesting facts, and it was very enjoyable. I would love to participate again. Thank you!

ユミさんのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケルもカヌーも初心者でしたが説明も丁寧でわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。
シュノーケルでは圧巻の珊瑚に感動でした！
カヌーのマングローブもとても綺麗でした。
ツアーに回りながら豆知識をたくさん教えて下さり、とても楽しかったです^^
また参加したいです。
ありがとうございました！

We have booked the package including the snorkeling with sea turtles and kayak trip to the pumpkin cave. Even if we booked in the evening for the morning before, they have been very efficient with providing information and things have run smoothly. On the day we have driven to the meeting place and they have provided all the things needed. The tour was very fun and interesting, thanks to our guide Yuuri, always reliable and friendly with us. This was the highlight of our vacation and we would recommend this tour!

This was the highlight of our vacation and we would recommend this tour!

We started with the Hija River exploration. The guide shared various stories, but the distance traveled was short, and to be honest, it felt more like kayak practice than an exploration, with the main event happening after we got out to sea. There were some waves and clouds, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset. The photos taken with the sunset in the background were taken by ourselves.

最初に比謝川探検からスタートします。ガイドさんはいろいろ話をしてくれましたが移動距離も短く、正直言って探検というよりカヤックの練習という感じで、メインは海に出てからでした。
少し波と雲が出ていましたが、綺麗な夕陽が見れました。夕陽をバックにした写真は、自分達で撮る感じです。

I had experienced the sunset before, so this time I chose the sunrise canoe. They picked me up at the hotel, and during the 20-minute drive to the port, I encountered what seemed to be wild boars and Ryukyu scops owls, and on the way back, I saw a white-browed crake.

When we arrived at the port in the still dim light, there were many clouds and thunder could be heard in the distance, but by the time we received the briefing and set off, the clouds began to turn red, and gradually the morning glow became visible.

Along the way, a sea turtle surfaced for air and quickly dove back down, and I also saw black and white clownfish. Most importantly, the guide shared various stories, making it a very satisfying tour.

サンセットは以前に体験したので、今回はサンライズカヌーを選びました。ホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、港までの20分のドライブ中にイノシシやリュウキュウコノハズクらしき鳥と、帰りはシロハラクイナと遭遇しました。
まだ薄暗い中港に到着した時は雲が多く遠くで雷もなっていましたが、説明を聞いて出港する頃には雲が赤く染まりだし、だんだんと朝焼けが見えてきました。
途中で海亀が息継ぎで上昇してきて慌てて潜っていったり、白黒のクマノミもいたり、何よりガイドさんが色々な話をしてくださり大満足のツアーでした。

The tour guide, Tachibana, not only explained how to paddle a kayak but also provided very clear explanations about insects and plants, allowing us to enjoy the experience with excitement throughout. There were many new discoveries, and I learned a lot. Additionally, the photography skills were impressive, with photos that looked as if they were taken by a drone, which left me in awe. Thanks to this, it became the best memory. I am truly grateful and hope to participate again someday!

担当してくださったツアーガイドのタチバナさんは、カヤックの漕ぎ方のご説明はもちろん、昆虫や植物についてもとても分かりやすく説明してくださり、終始ワクワクした気持ちで楽しむことができました。新しい発見も多くあり、色々と学ぶことができました。
さらに写真撮影もとてもお上手で、まるでドローンで撮ったかのような写真に感動しました。おかげさまで最高の思い出となりました。心から感謝いたします。またいつかぜひ参加したいと思います！
