All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

In the morning, I thoroughly enjoyed nature in the mangroves! The guide shared various stories, allowing us to savor a leisurely time. In the afternoon, we went snorkeling at Baras Island! I even encountered sea turtles, making it a truly satisfying day! I would love to use this service again when I come back!

午前中はマングローブで森のなかの自然を大満喫！ガイドさんがいろんなお話をしてくれながら、ゆっくりな時間を満喫できます。
午後からはバラス島でシュノーケリング！ウミガメにも出会えて、本当に大満足な１日でした！またきたさいにはご利用したいと思います！

First, we paddled through the jungle on stand-up paddleboards (SUP). It was my first experience, but anyone can easily ride! We arrived at the waterfall basin and took photos! They took so many pictures for us, so I felt at ease without bringing anything.

For lunch, we each had loco moco and taco rice at a nearby café! The café had a great atmosphere, and the food was very delicious.

After a short break, we went snorkeling in the afternoon! I was thrilled by the blue sky and the pure white coral island.

I thoroughly enjoyed the nature of Iriomote Island, and it was a very satisfying day!

まず！ジャングルの中をSUPで進んでゆきます。
初体験でしたが、誰でも簡単に乗れました！
滝つぼに到着し、写真撮影！沢山お写真を撮って下さるので、何も持参せず安心でした。

お昼は各自近くのカフェでロコモコやタコライスを食べました！
カフェは雰囲気もよく、お食事もとても美味しかったです。

少し休憩した後、午後はシュノーケリング！
青いお空と真っ白なサンゴの島に感激でした。

西表島の自然を満喫でき、大満足の1日でした！

We participated with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters, along with their grandparents, making it a three-generation experience. Perhaps because we had small children, we were allowed to be in a group just for our family. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, never showing any displeasure even when the kids were noisy or fussy, and they adjusted the pace to suit us. We all had a wonderful time together!

SUP was enjoyable, as we could stand and sit even with the kids! During snorkeling, I couldn't swim, but they pulled me along on a rescue board, which made me feel safe. I was so happy to see baby turtles! I would love to participate again when I come back to the Yaeyama Islands!

5歳・3歳の娘と、祖父・祖母と、3世代で参加させていただきました。
小さい子供がいたからか、家族だけで1グループとしていただき、子供が騒いだり、グズっていても嫌な顔１つもせず、進むスピードも合わせて下さり、とても親切丁寧に対応してくださいました。
家族みんなでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました！
SUPは子供連れでも立ったり座ったり、楽しかったです！
シュノーケリングでは、泳げない私のためにレスキューボードでずっと引っ張ってくれたので、安心できました。カメの子供に会えて、とっても嬉しかったです！
また八重山諸島へ来たときは、参加したいです！

I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience with SUP, but the instruction was very kind and thorough, and I had a lot of fun. I did fall a little (quite dramatically), but the waterfall was great too.

SUPは、初めての経験で不安だったけれども、とても親切に丁寧に教えていただいて、とても楽しかったです。ちょっと落ちたけれども(豪快に)
滝も良かったです。

I had a great time with my grandchild on the SUP! I couldn't stand up, but I was able to kneel (^^).

SUPで孫を前に乗せて、楽しくできました！
立つことはできなかったけれども、膝立ちはできました(^^)

I was able to see beautiful coral reefs that I had only seen on TV while snorkeling! Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, which made for the best memories.

シュノーケリングでは、テレビでしか見たことがないような綺麗なサンゴ礁が見れました！
運良くウミガメも見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。

This time, I went canoeing and to Baras Island in the morning, and explored a cave in the afternoon. The guide introduced us to many best spots and took a lot of photos for us! By the way, the food (vegetable soba) next to the office was surprisingly delicious, so definitely try it. Haha!

今回は午前中にカヌー&バラス島、午後に鍾乳洞探索に行ってきました。
ガイドの方にたくさんベストスポットを紹介頂き、写真もたくさん取って頂きました！！
ちなみに事務所の隣のご飯(野菜そば)が、地味に美味しかったので、ぜひ。笑

We were just lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy all the tours! The guide provided various topics to discuss, making the tour enjoyable. We also took a lot of photos, creating great memories.

ギリギリ天気に恵まれすべてのツアーを楽しむことができました！
ガイドさんもいろんな話題を提供してくれツアー中楽しめました。写真もいっぱい撮ってくれていい思い出ができました。

I had a very meaningful time experiencing things I had never done before in one day, such as visiting a limestone cave, Balas Island, canoeing in the mangroves, and trekking! It was so much fun! Thank you very much.

鍾乳洞、バラス島、マングローブでのカヌー、トレッキングと今まで体験したことなかったことを1日で体験でき非常に有意義な時間を過ごせました！とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました。

The guide was very polite and it was really great! The coral from Balas Island is a memorable souvenir! It was a day of complete satisfaction!

ガイドさんも丁寧ですごくよかったです！
バラス島のサンゴは思い出のおみやげです！大満足の一日でした！

Today, the typhoon has passed far away, and the weather is perfect! I was able to experience a mangrove tour in a calm atmosphere. The guide, Mr. Zakiya, explained everything clearly and was very kind! I highly recommend it.

今日は台風も遠く過ぎ去って最高の気候❗
穏やかな流れの中でマングローブツアーを体験できました ガイドのザキヤマさんの説明もよくわかり、とても親切でした❗
おすすめです

I made a reservation for the third day of my 2-night, 3-day trip! The activities on the second day were canceled due to rain, and I thought the trip would end without any activities on the third day because a typhoon was approaching. However, I was fortunate that the activities were held, and I was able to create wonderful memories!

It was fun to see creatures like crabs, gobies, and kingfishers up close.

I also appreciated the detailed explanations about the plants; it was very educational! Thank you!

2泊3日の旅行中の三日目に予約しました！
2日目のアクティビティが雨の影響で中止になってしまい
三日目も台風が接近していた為、アクティビティが出来ずに旅行が終わるかと思いましたが、
なんとか、開催して頂けた為、いい思い出ができました＼(^o^)／

カニやハゼやカワセミなど生き物を実際に近くで見ることが出来て楽しかったです

植物の説明なども詳しくしていただいて、
勉強になりました！ありがとうございました！

The orange glow of the sunset was very beautiful, and the sound of the water while paddling was soothing. I was able to experience various animals, including nocturnal ones. I also enjoyed hearing various stories about Okinawa, and the conversation with the guide was fun!

夕暮れのオレンジが、とても綺麗で、パドルを漕ぐ時も水の音は癒しでした。夜行性の動物含め様々な動物の体験もできました。
沖縄の色々な話も聞けて、案内してくださった方との会話も楽しかったです！

Operating the kayak was a bit difficult, but I was able to connect with nature and see crabs and fish. The guide's explanations were filled with interesting knowledge that made me say "wow," and the stories mixed with jokes were really fun! I was very satisfied!

カヤックの操作は少し難しかったのですが
自然にふれれてカニや魚も見てれ
ガイドさんの説明もへぇ～と思える知識や
冗談も交えたお話ですごい楽しかったです！
すごい満足でした！

The guide shared a lot of interesting facts while showing us around, which made it enjoyable. We were able to see many creatures like hermit crabs, bats, and crabs. Even as a beginner, I had a great time paddling. It was a wonderful experience!

ガイドのお兄さんが豆知識をたくさん紹介しながら案内してくれたので楽しかったです。
ヤドカリ、コウモリ、カニなど生き物もたくさん見られました。
初心者でしたが楽しく漕ぐことができました。
とても良い経験でした！

The weather was nice, and I could hear the chirping of birds and cicadas. It was enjoyable to see various flowers and fish! I felt very relaxed as we leisurely moved along while listening to the guide. ^_^

天気も良く、鳥やセミの鳴き声が聞こえ、色んな花や魚も見る事が出来て楽しかったです！
ガイドを聞きながらのんびり進むのでとても癒されました^_^

Since high waves were expected, I went snorkeling near Barasu Island in the morning. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves of Iriomote Island. I was thrilled to see schools of fish that I had never seen before while snorkeling. The mangrove tour in the afternoon allowed me to feel the great outdoors, and I really enjoyed it. The tour instructor was also very kind, making for a very satisfying trip!

波が高いと予想されていたので、午前中にバラス島近辺でシュノーケリング。
午後は西表島のマングローブでSUP
シュノーケリングでは見たことのない魚たちの群れを見ることができて大感激でした。
午後のマングローブツアーでは大自然を感じることができ、とてもENJOYできました。
ツアーのインストラクターの方もとても親切で大満足な旅でした！

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time this time. I chose this tour where we could experience both the sea and mangroves in a limited time, and it was a great decision!
With the help of a kind guide, my family and I were able to share many first-time emotions together!
We took a lot of pictures, and since we usually don't take family photos, it became the best memory! I think this tour is highly recommended as we were able to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island with the seawater, freshwater, and greenery!

今回初めて西表島を訪れました。限られた時間の中で海もマングローブも出来るこちらのツアーを選びましたが大正解！
親切なガイドさんのもと親子で初の感動を沢山共有できました！
写真も沢山撮っていただけて普段なかなか家族で写真を撮ることがないので最高の思い出です！海水に淡水に緑にと西表島の大自然を目一杯楽しめてすごくおススメのツアーだと思います！！

I had a great time with plenty of paddling! They explained things along the way and took photos for us, making it a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience than I expected! I highly recommend it.

結構たっぷり漕ぐ時間があって楽しかったです！道の途中で説明してくれたり、写真もとってくれたり、思っていたより充実の楽しい時間を過ごせました！おすすめです。

I participated with three friends. It was my first time kayaking, and I had some worries, but the tour guide was kind and funny, which made me very satisfied. I want to come back again.

友達3人で参加しました。
初めてのシーカヤックで不安なところもありましたが、ツアーのお兄さんが優しく面白く教えてくれて満足でした。またきたいです。

I participated with my 10-year-old daughter. She was expressing doubts from the beginning, and I was worried if she could make it to the end, but the guide was very kind and helped boost her morale, allowing us to complete the experience. After returning home, she said she really enjoyed it and wants to go again. It became a valuable life experience for us as well. Thank you very much. The Yae Island soba at Takigami was also incredibly delicious!

10歳の娘を連れて参加しました。序盤から弱音を吐いていて最後までできるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんも優しく対応してくださり士気を高めてくれて最後までやり遂げることができました。帰ってからも本当に楽しかったようでまた行きたいと話しています。私たちにとっても貴重な人生経験になりました。ありがとうございました。滝上の八重山そばも最高に美味しかったです！

I wanted to do snorkeling while my child wanted to try sea kayaking, and while searching for a plan, I discovered this course and decided to participate. Since traveling can be cumbersome with luggage, I wanted to keep it as light as possible. It was very convenient to bring just my swimsuit, rash guard, towel, and sunscreen. Additionally, the guide was kind and shared interesting points of interest, making it enjoyable and reassuring for beginners. I also brought my own camera, but I wasn't able to take great photos, so I appreciated the help in capturing good memories. The staff were friendly and kind, making it a great recommendation for families with children.

子供はシーカヤック、私はシュノーケルをやりたいと思っていて、プランを探していたらこちらのコースを発見し参加しました。旅行は手荷物がかさばるのでなるべく身軽に行きたいところ。水着とラッシュガード、タオル、日焼け止めを持参、とても楽でした。また、ガイドの方が親切なアテンドと見どころポイントを教えてくれるので、初心者でも安心して楽しめるので良かったです。また、自分でもカメラを持って行きましたが、なかなか上手く撮ることが出来ず撮って頂いて、良い思い出になり感謝しています。スタッフの皆さん、気さくで優しいので子供連れでも安心して参加できるのでオススメです。

We participated in this as a final summer vacation memory with our family: my husband, our daughter (5th grade), and our son (2nd grade). There was another family with us as well. By the end, the kids became good friends and we had an even more enjoyable time!

We traveled from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port on Iriomote Island to join the tour. It was quite windy and there were sudden rain showers in Ishigaki, but it was sunny once we arrived at Iriomote Island. In the morning, we went snorkeling! The sea was so beautiful that I kept swimming and peeking around. I was thrilled to see a sea turtle! Personally, I found the clownfish hiding in the anemone to be the cutest☆

After snorkeling, we moved to the Iriomote Island Monsoon shop by tour vehicle, which was only about a 5-minute drive from the port. We had time for lunch and changing clothes. In the afternoon, we did kayaking and trekking. The guide was cute, knowledgeable, and made the journey fun. She interacted with my son and daughter cheerfully like a friend, which made my son, who usually dislikes walking, enjoy trekking. It was moving when we finally saw the waterfall! We even encountered a habu snake along the way, which was scary but allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of Okinawa. Once we reached the waterfall, we repeatedly jumped in!

The transition from the morning's sea activities to the afternoon trekking was a bit tiring, but this tour allowed us to fully enjoy Iriomote Island in just one day! It was the best! If we have another family trip, I would love to participate again.

家族で夏休み最後の思い出に参加しました。
夫婦、娘（小5)、息子（小2)
他に一緒の方がもう一家族いました。
最後は子供同士も仲良しになりさらに楽しく過ごせました！

石垣島から西表島の上原港まで移動して参加しました。石垣島は風が強く急な雨がありましたが、西表島に着いてからは晴れていました。
午前中はシュノーケリング！海がきれい過ぎてずっと泳ぎながら覗いていました。海ガメを見ることもできて感動！
個人的にはイソギンチャクに隠れていたカクレクマノミが1番可愛かったです☆
海から上がると、ツアーの車で西表島モンスーンのショップへ移動。港から車で5分ぐらいの近さ。
昼食や着替えタイム。
午後からはカヤックとトレッキング。ガイドのお姉さんが可愛くて、物知りで楽しく移動できました。息子と娘にも友達のように明るく接してくださり、歩くの大嫌いな息子も楽しくトレッキングできました。
滝が見えてきた時は感動です！途中にハブもいて、怖いながらも沖縄の自然を満喫できました。滝に着いてからはジャンプで飛び込むを何度も何度も繰り返していました。
午前中の海から、午後のトレッキングはちょっと疲れましたが西表島を１日で満喫できちゃうこのツアー！最高でした！家族で旅行に行くことがあればまた参加したいです。

I was worried about whether I could do it well, but they taught me carefully from the basics, and then it was showtime! While we were paddling, they shared fun stories, so I didn't feel tired at all (*^^)v. It was a drone photography plan, and they flew the drone multiple times, capturing many beautiful photos and videos♪. The aerial shots, in particular, showcased a technique that can only be done with a drone, and I was overwhelmed by the view of the transparent sea. Everyone is talking about how we definitely want to go again next time! Thank you, Yuuma-kun!! ⇒ (He's young, just 19! Handsome! So kind!) All the staff were friendly and kind, and they were all good-looking guys, haha.

上手く出来るか心配もありましたが
基礎から丁寧に教えて下さり、いざ本番！
漕いでいる途中も楽しい話を聞かせてくれたりしながらだったので、疲れも感じませんでした(*^^)v
ドローン撮影のプランだったのですが何度も飛ばして下さり、たくさんの綺麗な写真や動画が撮れました♪
特に上からの写真はドローンでしか出来ない技術なので透明な海の景色に圧倒されました。次回も絶対行きたいと皆んなで話しています！
ゆうまくん、ありがとうね！！
⇒(若い19歳！イケメン！優しいよ！)
皆さん感じの良い親切なイケメンさんばかりですw

Instead of going from the river to the sea, you go straight to the sea and move sideways along the beach, so it's fine even if it's your first time. Depending on the weather, the waves can be a bit high, and you might get wet. If you don't rent a wetsuit, a change of clothes is essential. The sunset was very beautiful.

川から海へ出るのではなく、いきなり海ですが浜辺沿いを横に進んで行くので初めてでも大丈夫です。
天候にもよりますが、波が少したっていて濡れます。ウエットスーツを借りない場合は着替えは必須。
夕日がとても綺麗に見えました。

When I asked the children what they enjoyed the most about our trip to Okinawa, they all agreed on snorkeling and kayaking. There were so many highlights like the ocean, fish, the Blue Cave, and the beach! It was truly amazing. On top of that, the personality of the manager… He was such a pleasant person, and we were lucky to meet him. My usually shy daughter (8 years old) keeps saying, "I want to see him again" every time she remembers him.

The beauty of the Okinawan sea and sky is a given, but meeting such a wonderful person has been a big factor in drawing us back to Okinawa. I am very grateful for the happy times we spent together. After much consideration, I decided to include drone footage. Looking back on the trip, I’m glad I did it. There are extraordinary images captured there.

子供たちに今回の沖縄旅行で一番楽しかったことを聞くと、シュノーケリングとカヤックと声を揃えます。
海、魚、青の洞窟、浜辺等見処はたくさん！ほんと最高でした。それに付け加え店長の人柄…。とても気持ちの良い人で、巡りあえて幸運でした。普段、人見知りする娘(8歳)も、「また逢いたいな」と思い出す度に言っています。
沖縄の海も、空も最高は当たり前で、そこにとても気持ちの良い人に出会えたことが、また沖縄に引き込まれる大きな要素になっています。幸せな時間をともに過ごしていたたけたことに大変感謝しています。
ドローン撮影も悩んだ末、つけました。旅を終えてみるとドローン撮影やって良かったと思います。非日常の映像がそこにはあります。

I received a phone call about the tour details the day before, which left a good impression. We traveled to Iriomote Island by ferry. There was a pick-up service to Uehara Port, and a cheerful staff member came to greet us. During the tour, they were very kind to us (I will skip the details of the tour). After the tour, there was also a shower available (with rinse, shampoo, and body soap). It was a shop with a strong spirit of service!

ツアー内容について、前日にお電話をいただけるのですが、そこから好印象でした。西表島まではフェリーで行きます。上原港までお迎えがついているので、元気のいいスタッフの方が来てくださりました。
ツアー中も親切にしてもらえました。(ツアーの事は省略します)
ツアー後にはシャワーも付いています(リンスシャンプーボディーソープ付き)。
サービス精神旺盛なショップでした！

I was drawn to the catchphrase "the last hidden gem of Japan," so I decided to go to Iriomote Island! As the name suggests, endless nature spreads out before you, and I was able to fully enjoy mangrove SUP and snorkeling. In particular, Barasu Island felt like a truly mysterious space, and I wanted to float there forever! The service was great too!

私はこの日本最後の秘境というキャッチに惹かれて、西表島に行くことに決めました！
その名の通り、果てしない自然が広がっており、マングローブSUPもシュノーケリングも存分に楽しむことができました。
特にバラス島はまさに不思議な空間といった感じで、ずっと側で浮かんでいたいと思いました！
サービスも良かったですよ！

It was a wonderful guiding experience. From the ferry pickup, the energy was high, but the content of the tour surpassed that. Not only was the enthusiasm great, but the amount of knowledge was also abundant, and I enjoyed it throughout. Personally, I was very satisfied with the cave tour. The natural caves of Iriomote Island became completely dark at times, making it a true adventure. They provided detailed explanations about why they have grown so large and the passage of time. I only brought drinks and a towel, but there were no problems at all. Showers are also available for use.

素晴らしいガイディングでした。フェリーのお迎えから元気満点でしたが、ツアー内容はそれを凌駕していました。
元気の良さだけではなく、知識量も豊富で、ずっと楽しめました。個人的には鍾乳洞のツアーが大満足でした。西表島の天然の鍾乳洞は途中真っ暗になったり本当のアドベンチャー。
ここまで大きくなった理由や、年月などを詳しく説明してくれました。
飲み物とタオルのみを持参して参加しましたが、何も問題ありませんでした。
シャワーも使用できます。

I participated in a one-day tour that included canoeing, visiting a limestone cave, and landing on Barasu Island. The instructor was friendly and kind, taking many photos with a camera during the tour. Their explanations were thorough, and it was impressive to see how much fun the instructor seemed to be having. After the tour, you can also borrow a shower, and they will take you back to the port. I didn't expect to receive such good service in Iriomote Island.

カヌー・鍾乳洞・バラス島上陸の1日ツアーに参加しました。
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーかつ親切で、ツアー中もカメラで写真をたくさん撮ってくれます。解説も丁寧で、インストラクターさん自体が楽しそうにされてるのが印象的でした。
ツアー終了後はシャワーも借りれますし、港まで送ってくれます。西表島でこんなにちゃんとしたサービスが受けれるとは思っていませんでした。
