All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

The lower half gets quite wet (if you paddle somewhat roughly). The mangroves were a rare type of vegetation and very interesting. The weather was just right, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful red sunset against the horizon. Kayaking wasn't too difficult, and since it's a two-person kayak, it was great to be able to paddle together with my friend. Thank you very much.

結構下半身は濡れます。(ある程度乱暴に漕いだ場合)
マングローブは珍しい植生で興味深かった。
天気はちょうど晴れていて、きれいな紅色の夕日を水平線をバックに眺めることが出来ました。カヤックの運転はそんなに難しくなく、二人乗りなので、一緒に漕ぐ友人と一緒に頑張ることが出来て良いです。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was bad and it was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset. We spent a relaxing time along the mangrove habitat by the river and out to the sea while receiving explanations. The waves were rough, so we couldn't go out into the sea very much, but the staff were friendly, so overall, I would rate it as satisfying.

天気が悪く曇っていたのでサンセットは見れませんでした。川沿いのマングローブの生息地や海の手前まで出て、説明を受けながらのんびり過ごせました。波が荒く、海にもがっつり出れたわけではありませんでしたが、スタッフさんの人柄が良かったので全体的に満足、と言う評価です。

The tour was fulfilling, including activities like landing on the island, visiting a limestone cave, and experiencing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Additionally, being able to have lunch at a recommended restaurant allowed me to enjoy Iriomote Island even more. Thank you for the wonderful photos as well. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

ツアーの内容が、島に上陸したり、鍾乳洞に行ったり、SUPを体験したりと、充実していました。また、オススメの店で昼食を食べられたことで、西表島をより満喫することができました。素晴らしい写真もたくさんありがとうございます。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

The tour content was great, and the instructor was very kind, making it the best sightseeing experience in Iriomote Island. It was also wonderful that they took photos during the tour and shared them right away. I would like to rely on them again when I come back here.

ツアー内容がよかったこと、また、インストラクターの方がとても親切で最高の西表島観光になりました。ツアー中の写真を撮影してもらえ、すぐに共有してもらえるのもとてもよかったです。またこちらに来た際にはお世話になりたいと思いました。

It was my first time participating, and I had a lot of fun all day! I enjoyed my first experience with SUP very much! I was able to take many photos, which added to my memories.

初めての参加でしたが1日とても楽しかったです！ SUP初体験でも十分楽しめましたー！写真もたくさん撮っていただけて思い出が増えました。

The day before, I received a call informing me that due to the tides, going to Barasu Island would be difficult, so I was grateful to be able to plan the afternoon in advance.

On the day itself, I was worried because rain was forecasted from the morning, but it didn't rain in the morning and we had a great time! To avoid congestion with the SUP, we changed our order and went to the cave first. It was much more exciting and adventurous than I had imagined for a cave tour, and I had a lot of fun! It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me carefully, and I quickly started enjoying it! They took many photos during the tour, and I was happy to receive them on the same day!

In the afternoon, it poured heavily, so the tour was changed, which ended up being a relief.

前日に、潮の関係でバラス島は厳しいとお電話を頂いていたので、午後のプランを事前に練ることができ、有り難かったです。

当日は朝から雨予報で心配でしたが、午前中は雨も降らず楽しめました！
SUPが混雑しないように、とのことで順番変更して鍾乳洞から行きました。想像していた鍾乳洞ツアーよりも探検する気分でワクワクする内容で、とても楽しかったです！
SUPは初めでしたが丁寧に教えて頂いて、すぐ楽しくなりました！
ツアー途中の写真もたくさん撮って頂き、当日中にすぐもらえたのでよかったです！

午後は土砂降りだったのでツアー変更になって結局助かりました。

I was so happy to have such memorable photos taken! ✨ I want to challenge myself to try stand-up paddleboarding next time (＾_＾)❤️

すごく思い出に残る写真を撮って頂いて嬉しかったです✨！！！次回はサップにチャレンジしたいです（＾_＾）❤️

I wanted to try kayaking, so I signed up, but I was a bit anxious during the on-land paddling lesson since I don't have great athletic skills. However, once I actually started paddling, I began to understand the techniques and was able to enjoy it! The weather was fantastic, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset! The instructor's explanations and stories were great, and they even took photos for us. It was also fun to paddle together! It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Okinawa. Thank you!

カヤックをしてみたいと思って申し込みをしたものの、運動神経もあまり良くないので、陸上での漕ぎ方講習のときはちょっと不安でした。
でも、実際に漕ぎはじめるとコツも分かりだして、楽しく漕ぐことができました！
天気も凄く良くて、サンセットも綺麗に観ることができました！
インストラクターの方の説明やお話も良かったですし、写真も撮っていただけました。
二人で漕ぐってことも楽しかったです！
沖縄旅行の良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございます。

The weather was nice, and the instructor was very kind. They provided information about the ocean and took many wonderful photos at the best spots! Their enthusiasm for taking pictures made me forget my shyness! Just being here made the trip to Okinawa worthwhile! It was a fulfilling experience! I was able to spend time leisurely, something I can't feel in my daily life. Thank you very much.

天気も良く、インストラクターの人も心優しかったです。
海の情報を教えてくれたりベストスポットで撮影してくださったりたくさん素敵な写真を撮ってくれました！あちらから積極的に写真を撮ってくれるので恥ずかしさも吹っ飛びました！
もうここだけでも沖縄に来た甲斐があります！
充実度満点です！日常では感じられないゆったりと時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

We participated as a group of two women! There was one instructor for our group and another couple, which made the number of participants just right. It was great that even if we were a bit slow, we didn't cause too much trouble. While kayaking, the instructor explained the marine life of Okinawa, so it was not just about riding but also educational. We thoroughly enjoyed the nature of Okinawa and were very satisfied! I would love to do it again when I visit Okinawa! ♬

女子2人でで参加しました！
もう１組のカップルと２組にインストラクターさんが1人つきました。人数的にちょうど良かったので、私達がもたもたしてても、どうにか迷惑かけないくらいで出来たのが良かったです。
カヤックを乗りながら、沖縄の生物の説明をしてくれて、ただ乗るだけじゃなくて、勉強にもなりました。
沖縄の自然を満喫できて、とても大満足！また沖縄行ったらやりたいと思います♬

The waves were high, so we couldn't go out to sea, but I had a great time kayaking! Thanks to Acchan, who was very kind and provided thorough guidance! Next time, I want to go when the weather is nice and the waves are calm! Thank you very much!!

波が高く、沖に出ることはできませんでしたが、とっても楽しくカヤックをすることができましたー！あっちゃんもとても優しく、丁寧に指導していただいたおかげです！
今度は天気の良い波の穏やかな時に行きたいです！
ありがとうございました！！

During my 5-night, 6-day trip, the weather wasn't great, and I didn't get to see much of the beautiful sea. However, there was a brief moment of sunshine when we landed on Baras Island, and at the very end, I was able to see a stunning sea. Also, the photos taken by our guide were very stylish and of excellent quality. I think it's the best tour because you can experience so much in one day. At the cave, I fell quite dramatically because it was muddy from the heavy rain the day before (laughs). I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty when participating in the tour.

5泊6日の旅行中、お天気に恵まれず、あまり綺麗な海を見ることが出来ていませんでしたが、バラス島の上陸の時だけ少し晴れ間が見え、最後の最後でとても綺麗な海が見れました。また、ガイドのお兄さんが撮ってくださった写真はとてもセンスがよく画質がすごく綺麗でした。1日で色々体験できるので最高のツアーだと思います。鍾乳洞では前日が大雨だったことにより、ぬかるんでいた為、盛大にすっ転びました（笑）ツアーに参加される際は汚れても良い服装がいいと思います。

It was a lot of fun to experience the true nature of Okinawa, accompanied by the interesting and attentive explanations from the staff. Everyone on the staff was kind and enjoyable to be around.

面白く、丁寧なスタッフさんの説明と共に沖縄本当の自然に触れることができてとても楽しい思い出になりました。スタッフさん方も皆さん優しくて楽しい方々でした。

The instructor who took care of us was cheerful and kind, making it enjoyable ^_^ The occasional puns were nice too, lol.

担当してくれたインストラクターさんが明るく優しくて楽しめました^_^
時々でるダジャレもよさげww

I went on a SUP tour in the mangroves of Iriomote Island, explored a limestone cave, and visited Barasu Island. The guide was very attentive and considerate, making for a fun and fulfilling day. The value for the price was excellent. Barasu Island was especially amazing!

西表島のマングローブでSUP、鍾乳洞探検、バラス島ツアーへ行きました。担当のガイドさんがとても丁寧で、細かな気遣いをしてくださる方で1日楽しく、充実した日が過ごせました。この値段でこの内容はとてもお得でした。特にバラス島最高でした！

In the morning, I participated in a mangrove exploration and in the afternoon, I joined a cave tour and a landing tour on Baras Island with my friends.
For the mangrove tour, we used canoes, and I think it's enjoyable for anyone as it wasn't difficult at all! The natural scenery was beyond my imagination!
It felt like stepping into the world of an adventure movie!
At the caves, we were able to walk through many caves, not just one, and we also saw various creatures and plants along the way to the caves!
Baras Island was truly beautiful and perfect for Instagram photos!!!
The guide was very attentive and shared a lot of information (including recommendations for delicious restaurants), making the experience exceptional!

午前中にマングローブ探検、午後に鍾乳洞、バラス島上陸ツアーに友達と参加しました。
マングローブはカヌーで参加しましたが、難しくなく誰でも楽しめると思います！想像以上の大自然です！
まるでアドベンチャー映画の世界に入ったようでした！
鍾乳洞は、一つではなくたくさんの鍾乳洞の中を歩けて、また、鍾乳洞へ行くまでの道でも色々な生き物や植物を見れたりしました！
バラス島は、本当に綺麗で、インスタ映え間違いなしです！！！
ガイドさんが色々教えてくれたり(ご飯がおいしい店も)気遣いしてくれて至れり尽くせりでした！

The most impressive part was the SUP! I was a beginner, but it was a stable experience without waves in the mangroves, unlike the ocean, so I was able to stand and sit relatively easily. I also think the personality of the guide played a big role. They had a wealth of knowledge about nature during the exploration, and I was very satisfied with how they talked about the plants we found and answered any questions I had.

1番印象に残ったのは、SUP！初心者でしたが、海とは違う波のないマングローブ体験だったので、立ったり座ったりとわりと安定してできたのが良かったです。あとは案内人の方の人柄も大きかったと思います。探索中自然の知識も豊富にあったので、見つけた植物の話しや、質問してもなんでも答えてくれたところも大満足でした。

Thank you to the tour guide! The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy it slowly for an hour. I also picked up some mangrove seeds, and I'm looking forward to growing them at home.

ツアーガイドのお兄さんありがとうございました。
天気もよく、1時間ゆっくり楽しめました。
マングローブの種も拾えて、家で育てるのが楽しみです。

It was my first time kayaking, so at first, I felt more scared than excited. However, thanks to the instructor's thorough guidance, I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues! I also got to see a beautiful sunset, which made me very satisfied!

初めてのカヤックだったので初めは楽しむよりも怖さのほうが強かったですが、インストラクターさんの丁寧なレクチャーで困ることもなく始終楽しむことができました！綺麗な夕日も見れて大満足です！

I felt reassured participating in the tour as the staff was energetic, friendly, and very experienced in dealing with tourists. During the snorkeling, I was able to see various types of fish up close, which was great. Next time, I would like to try not only snorkeling but also diving in the ocean. While kayaking, I enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa while chatting with the guide.

元気もノリもよく、観光客に対する対応もとても手慣れている様子で安心してツアーに参加できました。
シュノーケリングでは様々な種類の魚を間近で見ることができてのよかったです。次はシュノーケルだけでなく、海の中を潜る体験をしてみたいです。
カヤックはガイドさんとお話ししながら沖縄のきれいな海を楽しむことができました。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I wanted to visit Iriomote Island, so I decided to participate in this tour. On the day of the tour, the ferry we were supposed to take was canceled, but I was relieved that they contacted us in advance with alternative options! The weather was cloudy and not great, but the tour was very enjoyable! Since there were fewer other tour guests due to the season, it was quiet and relaxing while we were kayaking. The trekking was just the right amount of time, and the warm lunch with a view of the waterfall, along with the miso soup, was delicious. They also took photos for us, allowing us to focus on kayaking and trekking without any pressure. The explanations about the unusual plants we saw were interesting as well. Since you might get wet or dirty unexpectedly, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting muddy.

初めての石垣島旅行で、西表島にも行ってみたいと思い今回参加させて頂きました。当日は乗る予定のフェリーが欠航してしまいましたが別の行き方を事前に連絡頂けたので安心でした！お天気は曇りでいまいちでしたが、ツアーはとても楽しかったです！時期的に他のツアー客も少なく、カヌーを漕いでいるときは静かでゆったりとした時間で気持ちよかったです。トレッキングもほどよい時間で、滝を見ながらのあたたかいお弁当とお味噌汁とってもおいしかったです。写真も撮って頂けるので、無理せずカヌー＆トレッキングに集中できました。見たことのない珍しい植物の説明も面白かったです。意外と濡れたり汚れたりするので泥などがついても気にならない格好がおすすめです。

I had a really fun experience! The guide was a professional who kept us entertained. I was worried about the weather, but we were able to enjoy great views and have fun. They took a lot of photos for us and shared them quickly, which made it easy and enjoyable. I definitely want to do it again!

すごく楽しい体験ができました！ガイドさんも楽しませてくれるプロでした。天気が心配でしたが十分いい景色を見られて楽しく遊べました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、さくっと共有してもらって、気軽に、楽しめて良かったです。またやりたいなぁと思います。

Great trip. Welcome to join this trip. Nice travel.

Great trip. Welcome to join this trip.
Nice travel

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but the instructor explained things clearly and made the experience enjoyable with some humor.

残念ながら夕日は見ることができませんでしたが、インストラクターの方が分かりやすく説明をして下さり、笑いも交えたお話をしながらゆったりと楽しめる事が出来ました。

The staff were incredibly kind and nice. The shuttle service made it easy to participate. The activity was a great nature exploration and very enjoyable. I thought it might be quite strenuous, but once I participated, the level of exercise was manageable and enjoyable. It was so good that I would like to try a different activity next time I visit.

スタッフさんが何より親切で良い人でした。送迎もあり参加もしやすかったです。
アクティビティは、大自然探索でとても楽しかったです♬結構しんどいのかな？と思いましたが、参加してみると楽しめる余裕がある運動量でした。
とても、良かったので次行ったときは別のアクティビティでお世話になりたいと思います。

We experienced this as a family of four, including young children. It was their first time, but the instructor explained everything clearly. The kids quickly got used to it and were able to enjoy the natural surroundings of the river! In February, it was quite windy, but a mountain parka was sufficient. When the sun came out, it was warm (or hot?).

I came in regular clothes, but they kindly lent me a raincoat, which was a great help. They are very kind and attentive, so I recommend this for beginners as well. I would like to come back again.

低学年含む家族4人で体験しました。もちろん子供たちは初めてでしたが、インスタラクターの方が分かりやすく説明して下さいました。子供たちもすぐに慣れて、川の自然を満喫しながら楽しむことができました！2月、風が強かったですが、マウンテンパーカーがあれば十分です。日が差すと暖かい(暑い？)です。
普段着で来てしまいましたが、カッパ(下)を貸して下さったので助かりました。親切、丁寧に対応して下さいますので、初心者の方にもオススメです。また来たいと思います。

I was grateful that I could apply even the day before! On the day, there was hardly any wind, and it was sunny with no waves. Also, since I was the only participant during that time, I was able to receive a lot of explanations about the plants in a one-on-one setting! I was able to spend a very relaxing time leisurely. I also want to check out the recommended restaurants nearby that were suggested to me!

前日でも申し込みが可能で助かりました！
当日は風もほとんどなく晴れており波もなし。また参加した時間帯は私だけの参加でもあって、マンツーマンで植物の解説などをたくさん頂くことができました！
とてもゆったりとした時間をのんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。また合わせて教えて頂いたお店近辺のオススメ飲食店も立ち寄ってみたいと思います！

We participated as a group of four close friends in our late 40s to early 50s. Our guide, Satomi, asked us for our nicknames right at the start, and we set off in a cheerful mood.

I was particularly anxious about the trekking since I usually don’t walk much. I was worried about my stamina, but I enjoyed canoeing so much that I was able to take plenty of photos with my phone. After that, we walked to the waterfall! Along the way, we encountered cute lizards and received explanations about the trees, and before we knew it, we arrived at the waterfall. Just as I was amazed by the falling water, Satomi, who was carrying heavy luggage, prepared Yaeyama soba for us at the waterfall. It was warm, the meat was tender, and it was delicious!

From the waterfall, we aimed for the top of the falls. I was really anxious about whether I could make it, but it turned out to be a fun trekking experience filled with ups and downs, just like life, while chatting along the way. We made it to the top without any injuries. The sense of achievement is something you can only understand by climbing, so I definitely recommend giving it your all. Descending might actually be tougher than climbing.

On the way back in the canoe, we had a blast laughing, making it a fun tour overall. We were blessed with great weather, making it the best day ever! The four of us are truly grateful to Satomi. I’m so glad we participated! I would love to join again if the opportunity arises.

Thank you very much!

40代後半50代前半の仲良し4人で参加しました^ ^
ガイドのおねーさん（さとみさん）に、しょっぱなあだ名を聞かれて　みんなで和気あいあいで出発ーー。
とにかく不安だったのは
トレッキング！普段全く歩かない私、、、
体力の心配もありましたが、
カヌーも楽しく漕いで携帯でたくさん写真も撮れるほどでした。そこから歩いて滝壺へ！途中かわいいトカゲに遭遇したり木の説明をしてくれたりであっとゆーまに滝壺に到着。滝壺の落ちてくる滝に感激もつかの間、、、
さとみさんは重い荷物を背負ってて、
滝壺で八重山そばを作ってくれましたー。
それが温かくて肉も柔らかくて美味しかったです^ ^
滝壺から今度は滝上を目指しました。
登り切れるか本当に不安でしたが
人生のように山アリ谷アリで　おしゃべりしながらの楽しいトレッキングでした。怪我もなく無事登れました^ ^
あの達成感は登ってみないとわからないので絶対頑張って登ったほうがいいです。登るより降りるほうがきついのかもしれないです。
帰りのカヌーでも大爆笑しながらの
楽しいツアーになりました。
お天気にも恵まれ最高の1日になりました！
私達4人、本当にさとみさんには感謝感謝です^ ^
参加してよかった！また機会があればお願いしたいです。

ありがとうございました。

I experienced kayaking for the first time, and it was so much fun! The guide was nearby to teach us, which made me feel safe! The photos turned out great, and I'm very satisfied!!!

初めてカヤックを体験しましたがとっても楽しかったです！ガイドのお兄さんも近くで教えてくれるので安心です！写真もすごくいいのばかりで大満足です！！！

I had no plans until I arrived, but I found this online and the reviews were good, so I signed up. It was my first experience, and I was with my child, but the guide was kind and we had a great time, so it was really wonderful.

現地に来るまでノープランでしたがネットで探して口コミも良いので申込みました。
初めての体験、子供と一緒でしたがガイドさんが親切で楽しめたので本当に良かったです。
