All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

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!

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！

We participated as a family of three. In the morning, we went canoeing near the mangroves, and in the afternoon, we went snorkeling. Both were our first experiences, but the guide was friendly and taught us carefully, so we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves. During the transfers and activities, the guide shared a lot of local trivia and recommended delicious places, which was very helpful.

Moreover, the weather was great for both activities, and the water was clear, so we couldn't have asked for more. The snorkeling, in particular, was breathtaking with an abundance of fish and coral that exceeded our expectations.

We didn't bring our smartphones or cameras, but the guide took many photos from angles we couldn't capture ourselves and sent them to us the same day, so there was no need to bring them.

It was very tiring, but it was a fun day overall.

家族三人で参加しました。午前はマングローブ近くでカヌー、午後はシュノーケリングで、どちらも初めてだったのですが、ガイドの方が気さくに丁寧に教えてくださり、何の問題もなく楽しめました。移動中にもアクティビティ中も、現地の豆知識や美味しいお店などたくさん教えてくれ参考になりました。
また、どちらも天気が良く、水もきれいで、言う事無しでした。特にシュノーケリングは、期待以上の魚やサンゴが広がり感動でしたよ。
スマホやカメラを持っていかなかったのですが、ガイドさんが自分たちでは撮れないアングルの写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、即日送ってもらえたので、持っていく必要も無かったです。
とても疲れたけれど、その分楽しい１日でした。

I experienced this with my 5-year-old. The canoe tour with Mac was very fun! Thank you for the many photos!

5歳と2人で体験しました。まっちゃんとカヌーツアーとても楽しかったです！写真もたくさんいただきありがとうございました！

I participated in a mangrove kayak tour and a visit to Yubu Island!

The mangroves were surrounded by trees on both sides, making the waterways narrow, which gave a thrilling sense of adventure and was really enjoyable.

I got stuck in the mangroves a few times, but our guide, Rui, kindly helped me out and provided just the right amount of advice.

The visit to Yubu Island was great because we got to ride water buffalo to the island, which is an experience you don't usually get.

I had a fun day overall. Thank you!

マングローブのカヤックツアーと由布島観光に参加しました！

マングローブは左右が木に囲まれて水路が狭く、冒険をしている感じでスリルがあり楽しめました。

何度かマングローブに引っ掛かって行き詰まりましたが、担当ガイドのるいさんに親切に助けていただき、また適度なアドバイスで助かりました。

由布島観光は、水牛に乗って離島に行けて、普段は体験できないので良かったです。

1日楽しく過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

The canoeing and snorkeling experiences were led by different instructors, but both made sure to frequently check on the participants' well-being, allowing us to enjoy a safe and fun time. Since I didn't rent a car, the shuttle service from the accommodation to the activity points was really helpful. It was also enjoyable to hear various stories along the way. Thank you very much.

カヌーとシュノーケル　それぞれ別のイントラさんでしたが、どちらの体験も参加者の体調を気遣うお声がけが頻繁にあり、安心して楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
レンタカーを借りていなかったので、宿泊施設からポイントまでの送迎ホント助かりました。
道中もいろんなお話し聞かせていただけて楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I wanted to experience snorkeling in the morning when the waves were calm, but it was scheduled for the afternoon. The waves were high in the afternoon, and my child was scared, so we couldn't do it well. Other participants also mentioned that the waves were calm in the morning. The guide for the Pisainara Falls also felt rushed, which was disappointing.

午前中シュノーケルと書いてあり、波が穏やかな時間に体験したいと思ってましたが、シュノーケルは午後でした。
午後は波が高く子供も怖がってしまいうまくできず。参加者の方も午前中は波が穏やかだったのにと仰ってました。ピサイナーラの滝案内も急かすような感じでしたので残念でした。

I enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles and exploring Pumpkin Hall in Miyako Island. The sea was clear, and swimming with the sea turtles was the best time. Our guide, Rei, was kind and made us feel safe, creating unforgettable memories.

宮古島で海亀シュノーケルとパンプキンホール探検 を楽しみました。海は透明で、海亀と泳ぐ時間は最高でした。ガイドのReiさんも親切で安心でき、忘れられない思い出になりました。

I had always wanted to visit Gajumaru, so I was really happy to finally go. The guide's stories were interesting, and I had a lot of fun! You definitely won't regret going! I want to visit again!

ガジュマルには一度行ってみたかったので行けたのがすごか嬉しかったのと
ガイドさんの話も面白くてとても楽しかったです！
行って損は絶対にありません！
また行きたいと思ってます！

In the morning, I went snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I did mangrove kayaking. The snorkeling was guided kindly by Yume, and I was very satisfied to land on Barasu Island! She was a very beautiful guide! In the afternoon, we went mangrove kayaking! I learned a lot about the nature of Iriomote Island and was able to see the mangroves up close! It was amazing!

午前中はシュノーケル、午後はマングローブカヤックをしました。シュノーケルはユメさんに優しくガイドいただきバラス島にも上陸でき大満足でした！とっても美人なガイドさんでした！
午後はマングローブカヤックでした！西表島の自然のことをたくさん教えていただき、マングローブを間近で見ることができました!最高でした！

The Pumpkin Cave is a sacred place, and I felt that the tour was conducted with great care, which was very good! The final jump was thrilling and fun.

During the snorkeling tour, it was my first time, but it was very enjoyable, and the energetic guide from Osaka provided interesting explanations! I was able to see a sea turtle, creating the best memories!

パンプキン鍾乳洞は、神聖な場所の為、しっかりと配慮しながらツアーを行っていて、とても良いと感じました！最後の飛び込みは、スリルがあって楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングツアーでは、初めてでしたが、とても楽しく、ガイドの元気な大阪のお兄さんが面白く解説してくれました！ウミガメにも会うことが出来、最高の思い出が出来ました！

Thanks to the polite guidance of the staff, I was able to enjoy both canoeing and snorkeling for a whole day, even as a beginner! I highly recommend it!

ガイドな方々の丁寧な案内で、カヌー・シュノーケリング共に初心者でしたが1日楽しめました！おすすめです！

We had a 5-year-old child with us, but since our guide Ko-chan was experienced in handling children, we could trust him completely. It was thoughtful to have a guide who is familiar with kids. Not only did we paddle the kayak, but we also made stops to observe the rocky areas and shallow waters, which provided a nice break. It was wonderful to see Ko-chan adjusting his paddling to match the child's movements, but it's a shame we couldn't capture that moment in a photo.

5歳の子も一緒でしたが、子供の扱いに慣れたこうちゃんがガイドでしたので、安心して任せることができました。子供に慣れているガイドを付けるという心遣いがいいですね。カヤックを漕ぐだけではなく、途中で上陸して岩場や浅瀬の観察も、ちょっとした休憩になってよかったです。子供が漕ぐのにこうちゃんが合わせてオールを動かしてくれる様子がとてもよかったのですが、写真に撮る事が出来なかったのが残念です。

We were able to go deep into the mangroves, which you can't experience with a canoe. The staff were very kind and it was a lot of fun.

カヌーでは体験できないようなマングローブの奥まで行くことができました。。親切に対応してくださってとても楽しかったです。

I had a very enjoyable time!!
Beautiful sea!! Stunning caves!! Adorable sea turtles!!
And the lively and entertaining guide!
It was a wonderful experience with no complaints! Those considering it will definitely be satisfied!!
Please join us!!!!

とても楽しい時間を過ごせました!!
綺麗な海!!美しい鍾乳洞!!かわいいウミガメ!!
そして盛り上げ上手なワカチコなお兄さん!!
文句のつけようがない素晴らしい体験でした!検討中の皆様も満足すること間違いなし!!
ぜひご参加ください!!!!

On my first trip to Miyako Island, I signed up for a tour to experience marine sports all at once.

We started with sea kayaking and then explored a limestone cave, and I was completely overwhelmed by the mystical beauty of Pumpkin! Jumping from Pumpkin was also thrilling and a lot of fun!

We had about a two-hour lunch break, so I took a short nap before joining the snorkeling activity. The guide, with his refreshing smile, made it enjoyable, and I learned about the corals and fish of Miyako Island. The water was incredibly clear, and I was so excited to see sea turtles up close!

I was moved by how close I could get to the corals and many different types of fish. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. Thank you!

初めての宮古島旅行で、マリンスポーツを一気に体験したくてツアーに申し込みをしました。
初めはシーカヤックからの鍾乳洞で、パンプキンは神秘的で凄く圧倒されました！パンプキンからのジャンプも刺激的で凄く面白かったです!
昼休憩が２時間くらいあったので、少し仮眠をしてからシュノーケリングに参加しました。
爽やかな笑顔のお兄さんのガイドも楽しくて、宮古島の珊瑚や魚について学べました。また、海の透明度も凄くてウミガメを間近で見れて大興奮でした！
珊瑚やたくさんの種類の魚を間近で見れて感動しました。
このツアーに参加できて本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました!

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. Both were taught with great care, and they explained a lot about Ishigaki Island during the experience, which was really fun! They also shared many recommendations for delicious restaurants and must-visit places that are unique to the area.

If I come back to Ishigaki Island, I definitely want to experience this again.

サップとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
どちらも丁寧に教えてくださって、体験中もたくさん石垣島のことを説明してくれてすごく楽しかったです！
体験以外にも、美味しいお店とか行った方がいい場所とか、地元ならではのこともたくさんおしえてくれました。

また石垣島に来たら、ぜひここで体験したいです。

We experienced the pumpkin cave and snorkeling course with our family of four, including high school and university students. Thank you to Kana, a cheerful and energetic young man from Osaka who resembles Shuhei Nomura. We are grateful for your kind and attentive service, which helped us create wonderful family memories. It was our first time in Miyako Island, and we were amazed by the beautifully clear blue sea and sky, the mystical caves, and the sight of Nemo and adorable sea turtles swimming right in front of us. Thank you for all the great photos as well.

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシュノーケルのコースを高校生、大学生の子どもと家族4人で体験しました。野村周平似の大阪の元気な明るいお兄さんのカナさん、ありがとうございました。親切、丁寧な対応で家族の楽しい思い出を作ることができ感謝です。初めての宮古島で見事なほどの青く澄み切った海と空、神秘的な鍾乳洞、ニモや可愛らしい青ウミガメの泳ぐ姿も目の前で見ることができ最高でした。たくさんの写真もありがとうございました。
