All Reviews for Okinawa SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard)

I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles on the day of the tour... However, our guide, Chitose, introduced us to many beautiful fish and coral reefs, and she also provided a lot of support for my parents, who are not very good swimmers, and my scared elementary school child, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

The Pumpkin Cave was much larger than I expected, and I was surprised by the big pumpkin. Both my child and I were shocked to think we had to climb it, but my child said it was great that we gathered the courage to try climbing it.

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and there are still many activities I want to participate in, so I definitely want to see sea turtles next time! I will come back!

ウミガメに会いたくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は残念ながらウミガメに会うことはできず…
でしたが、ガイドの千登勢さんにきれいな魚たちや珊瑚礁をたくさん紹介していただき、また、泳ぎに不慣れな両親と怖がりの小学生の子供のフォローもたくさんしてもらいがら楽しむことができました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は、思っていたよりも大きなパンプキンでびっくりしました。これを登るのか〜と親子ともどもビックリしましたが、勇気を出して登ってみてよかったと子供も話していました。
初めての宮古島でしたが、まだまだ参加したいアクティビティーもたくさんあるし、次回こそウミガメに会いたいです！また来ます！

In the morning, I participated in a stand-up paddleboarding tour, and in the afternoon, I joined a snorkeling tour. Both had calm waves, and I was really able to enjoy them. However, there isn't a place or time to change, so if you plan to participate, I think it's a good idea to consider where to change beforehand.

午前中はサップ、午後はシュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。どちらも波も穏やかでとても楽しむことができて良かったです。
ただ、着替える時間や場所は無いので、参加する場合はどこで着替えるか事前に検討してた方がいいと思います。

I was able to see sea turtles up close while snorkeling, and the guide was great at taking photos, which made for a fun time! It was my first time at Pumpkin, and both high school students and adults enjoyed it, creating wonderful memories. I hope my wishes come true... haha. The guide taught us various things, which made it even more enjoyable. I would definitely like to request the same guide when I come back to Miyako Island! Thank you very much!

シュノーケルではウミガメも間近で見ることができたし、ガイドさんが写真撮るのも上手で楽しい時間を過ごせました！
パンプキンも初めてでしたが高校生も大人も楽しむことができていい思い出ができました^_^
願い事が叶ってくれるといいですが…笑
ガイドさんが色々教えてくれて、おもしろかったので、より楽しめたと思います♪
ぜひまた宮古島に来たときは同じガイドさんでお願いしたいです☆
ありがとうございました！

We took a ferry from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, where we gathered. Our local guide, Ren-chan, took eight of us in a microbus to the canoe launch site while providing explanations about the area.

There were six people in canoes and two in kayaks, and we received safety instructions from Ren-chan before heading down a river close to the mangrove-filled sea. Each person's speed and direction varied due to different paddling techniques, and the kayak members struggled as they fell out, but Ren-chan stayed with us until we safely returned.

The trip down was easy as we rode the current, but the return was challenging as we had to paddle against it. After returning to Uehara Port, we had free time for lunch. Although we were introduced to several eateries, some were closed for the holiday or too crowded, so we ended up buying bento at a supermarket.

In the afternoon, we had a tour to cross to Yubu Island by water buffalo. Our guide, Macchan, provided enjoyable explanations. We crossed to the island pulled by a water buffalo, and he humorously described the buffalo's characteristics (the one we rode was an elderly buffalo named Yuto) and personality. The water buffalo guide played an instrument and sang folk songs, making for a fun time.

We spent about an hour on Yubu Island, which had beautiful scenery, souvenir shops, a butterfly viewing facility, and unique plants, all of which were quite nice. The only disappointment was that I had expected to paddle through the mangrove forest, but instead, we navigated along the edge of a wide river where many mangroves grew. I was looking forward to that, so it was a bit disappointing, but everything else was very good.

石垣島からフェリーで西表島の上原港に渡り、そこで集合。
現地のガイド（れんちゃん）が8名を載せてマイクロバスで、カヌー乗り場まで
現地の説明がてら連れて行ってくれました。
カヌーが６名、カヤック２名をれんちゃんから注意事項の説明を受け、一緒にマングローブの生える海に近い川をくだりました。漕ぎ方によりそれぞれのす速度や方向がまちまちで、カヤックのメンバーはカヤックから落ちて苦労していましたが、れんちゃんが最後まで連れ添って無事に戻ってこられました。
行きは流れに乗って楽でしたが、帰りは流れに逆流するので大変でした。
上原港に戻って、お昼ご飯、フリーでしたので、いくつか食堂を紹介してもらえましたが、たまたまお盆でお休みだったり、混んでいたりして、結局スパーでお弁当を買って頂きました。　午後は由布島に水牛でわたりるツアーでした。ガイドのまっちゃんも楽しい説明でよかったです。水牛に引っ張ってもらって島にわたりましたが、水牛の特徴（たまたま乗った牛がゆうとという高齢の牛）や性格など面白おかしく説明してもらい、水牛の先導？さんが楽器を弾きながら民謡を歌って楽しい時間でした。由布島も１時間くらいありましたが、景色もよく　お土産屋さん、蝶を見られる施設（蝶園）、独特な植物、などなかなか良かったです。
一つだけ残念なのはマングローブの森の中をカヌーで進むと思っていたのですが、広い川の端にマングローブが沢山生えているところを進むという点でした。そこを期待していたので、少し残念ですが、それ以外は大変良かったです。

We participated on August 21 with two adults and one 7-year-old child. Initially, we signed up for the Pumpkin Hall Cave and snorkeling tour, but due to bad weather, the Pumpkin Cave was canceled, and we switched to SUP instead.

Although we originally had a reservation for Monday, we had to change it to Tuesday because of the typhoon, and then we were told that snorkeling might be difficult, so we rescheduled for Wednesday. Thank you for accommodating us despite the repeated changes!

SUP was no problem for our 7-year-old as they could sit while paddling, and the child enjoyed it. After that, we were excited for snorkeling and were thrilled to see the sea turtles, which made our child very happy! There were quite a few people, causing some sand to stir up and make the water murky, but that’s to be expected in shallow areas. However, our child was really happy, so we were satisfied.

During snorkeling, I noticed that my child had lost a fin, but our guide, Mr. Goto, was very kind and helped us look for it without any complaints. Thank you! The staff, including Mr. Goto, were all very friendly, and I’m glad we signed up for the tour.

Thank you!

8/21に大人2名と7歳児1名で参加しました。
最初はパンプキンホール鍾乳洞とシュノーケリングのツアーに申し込みましたが、天候が悪くパンプキン鍾乳洞は中止になり、代わりにSUPに変更。

本当は月曜日に予約していたものの台風の影響で、火曜日に変更、ただシュノーケリングは難しいかもと言われ、さらに水曜日に変更いただきました。
度重なる変更にも快く調整していただきありがとうございました！

SUPは7歳でも座りながらであればまったく問題なく、子供も楽しんでいました。
その後、楽しみにしていたシュノーケリング、お目当てのウミガメにも会えて子供も大喜びでした！若干人が集まり過ぎて砂が舞ってしまい濁っていましたが、浅瀬だとしょうがないですね。。ただ子供もすごい喜んでいたので満足でした。

シュノーケリングの時に気付いたら子供がフィンをなくしてしまったのですが、ガイドの後藤さん（りくさん）が嫌な顔せず親切に対応、探していただきありがとうございました！
ガイドの後藤さん含め、とても親しみやすいスタッフばかりでツアーに申し込んで良かったです。

ありがとうございました！

We participated as a group of four women! We split into canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding, but we were allowed to switch halfway, so we got to experience both. Even as beginners, we were able to progress without falling!

During the experience and in the car, we heard a lot about mangroves and environmental creatures, which sparked our interest!

Our guide, Ren-chan, was cheerful and friendly, making it a fun experience!

After the activity, it was great that we could wash off the dirt in a simple shower room and change clothes.

女子4人で参加しました！
カヌーとサップに別れて乗りましたが
途中で交代しても良いとの事で両方体験させて頂きました
初心者でも落ちること無く進めて行く事が出来ました！



体験中や車内でも、マングローブや環境生物の話をたくさん聞かせて頂き興味が出ました！

ガイドのれんちゃんも明るく気さくな方で楽しかったです！


体験後は簡易的なシャワー室で汚れを落とし着替えることができて良かったです。

I participated in various activities and tours during my trip, but this was the most fun. The instructor was friendly and a great person, and the other participants were also nice, so we all had a wonderful time enjoying SUP and snorkeling together.

旅行中様々なアクティビティやツアーに参加しましたが、これが1番楽しかったです。
インストラクターさんもフレンドリーで良い方で、同時参加者の方も良い方だったので、みんなでワイワイとSUPとシュノーケルが出来てとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The mangroves were very beautiful for my first experience, and I really enjoyed it! There were also many creatures, which made it a lot of fun!

The staff member Ren was very knowledgeable about the creatures and plants, and she adjusted to the children's pace, which made it enjoyable and very reassuring!

Thank you very much!

初めてのマングローブがとても綺麗で、とてもよかったです！！　
また生き物も多くていてとても楽しかったです！！

スタッフのれんちゃんも生き物や植物について詳しく教えてくれたり、子供のペースなどに合わせてくれて楽しくとても安心しました！！

ありがとうございました

It was a tour with Shoutaro's team. I felt that they had a wealth of knowledge about Iriomote Island. During the SUP and snorkeling experiences, as well as in the car while traveling, they shared many stories, which made it very enjoyable! I was able to learn a lot about the beauty of Iriomote Island, and it truly became a wonderful day. They took many photos, creating plenty of memories. Thank you very much!

しょうたろうさんのチームでのツアーでした。
とても西表島についての知識が豊富だなと感じました。supやシュノーケリングの体験中はもちろん、移動中の車内でもいろんなお話をしてくださって、とても楽しかったです！
西表島の良さをたくさん知ることができて、本当に良い日になりました。
写真たくさんとっていただき、思い出もいっぱいです。
ありがとうございました！

Not only did we take photos with the sea turtles, but we also enjoyed introductions to nearby fish and creatures like sea anemones. ^_^
At the Pumpkin Cave, I struggled a bit climbing, but thanks to Tetsu's support, I was able to make it to the top! Thank you so much (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
I’m considering using this service again next time! It was a very fun adventure! Tetsu's guidance was the best (^з^)-☆

ただ海亀と写真を撮るだけでなく、近くを泳いでいる魚やイソギンチャクなどの生き物の紹介をしてくれたため終始楽しむことができました。^_^
パンプキン鍾乳洞では、鍾乳洞を登るのに手こずってしまいましたが、てっちゃんさんのサポートにより無事登ることができました！とてもありがとうございます(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
また次も利用したいと考えています！とても楽しい冒険になりました！てっちゃんさんのガイド最高です(^з^)-☆

I was overwhelmed by the scale of snorkeling, which was beyond my imagination. I heard that this wasn't even the best condition. Ishigaki Island is truly amazing. I look forward to visiting again.

想像以上の規模でのシュノーケリングに圧倒されました。これでもまだ最高のコンディションではないとの事。石垣島末恐ろしいです。またよろしくお願いします。

I went canoeing at Kabira Bay. It was a bit cloudy, but I was able to take a lot of photos. They turned out very beautiful, and I'm satisfied. I chose the full-day course, but we returned near the hotel in the morning and then took a bus to do the same course again in the afternoon, so it might be nice to have different optional activities for the morning and afternoon. It felt like a bit of a time loss there. It would have been better if we had some time to stroll around Kabira Bay during lunch.

I was also anxious about snorkeling, but I received solid support and was able to swim happily. I had misunderstood and thought we would be snorkeling inside the Blue Cave.

川平湾でカヌーをしました少し曇りもありましたが沢山写真を撮っていただきました。画像にするととても綺麗で満足です。1日コースにしたのですが、午前に一旦ホテル近くまで戻ってきて、また昼から同じコースをバスで行くため、午前と午後別のオプショナルでもいい感じです。そこが少し時間のロスのような。川平湾で昼散策する時間があったらよりよかったかも。
シュノーケルも不安でしたがしっかりサポートしてもらい楽しく泳ぐことができました。青の洞窟のなかをシュノーケルするのかと勘違いしてました。

I participated with the Ren-chan team and the Taro team. It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the waterfall due to the weather, but the mangrove tour was even more enjoyable than I imagined, and it became a wonderful memory. Ren-chan taught me a lot about Iriomote Island and mangrove knowledge! During our lunch break, I tried the recommended dishes from the cafeteria that Ren-chan suggested! I was amazed by the magnificent scenery while snorkeling, something I had never seen before! Taro-kun took photos from various angles, and my whole family was delighted!
It was a very fulfilling tour. I want to visit Iriomote Island again!

れんちゃんチームとたろうチームで参加しました。天候の影響で、滝には行けず残念でしたが、マングローブツアーも想像以上に楽しく、とても良い思い出になりました。れんちゃんには、西表島のことやマングローブの知識を沢山教えてもらいました！お昼休憩には、れんちゃんに教えてもらった食堂のおすすめを食べました！シュノーケリングでは、見たことのない壮大な景観に感動しました！たろうくんが様々な角度から写真を撮ってくれて、家族全員喜んでいました！
とても充実したツアーでした。また、西表島に訪れたいです！

I was disappointed that the pumpkin event was canceled, but I was able to rebook with SUP and snorkeling, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. I even encountered a sea turtle, which became a wonderful memory!

パンプキンの予定が中止になり残念だったのですが、supとシュノーケルで予約を取り直してもらえて結果すごく楽しかったです
ウミガメにも遭遇できて最高の思い出になりました！

I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! It was safe to participate even with children, and the whole family had a great time. The kids were really excited to see clownfish and squid! In the end, we even encountered a sea turtle, which made for truly wonderful memories.

シュノーケリングで、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました！子ども連れでも安心して参加でき、家族みんなで楽しむことができました。子どもたちはクマノミやイカに大興奮！
最後にウミガメにも出会えて、本当に良い思い出になりました。

I went to Iriomote Island for my honeymoon! It was a very enjoyable trip that felt extraordinary. On the tour, I experienced a water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island and a canoe experience where I could feel the great outdoors. The weather was a mix of rain and sunshine, but luckily, the rain stopped at just the right times during both the Yubu Island visit and the canoe experience, and the sun occasionally showed its face, bringing us good luck. Our guide was very friendly and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable! Thank you, Moo!

結婚旅行で西表島に行きました！
非日常でとても楽しい旅でした。
ツアーでは水牛車で由布島とカヌー体験で大自然を感じました。お天気が雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが由布島でもカヌー体験でもタイミング良く雨が上がり、時々太陽も顔を見せてくれて運が味方してくれました。
ガイドさんもとても気さくで距離が近くて楽しく過ごすことができました！ムーさん、ありがとうございました！

I participated in a half-day tour in the morning! The Pumpkin Cave, which you can't visit on your own, was even more exciting than I imagined—truly an adventure! I was really satisfied with the tour! ✨

Our guide was Tetsu, who looks like a local but is actually from Osaka! He created a fun atmosphere with his cheerful and lively talk—truly impressive!

On this day, our team of 10, including families and couples, aimed for the Pumpkin Cave! Under Captain Tetsu's guidance, we first got on kayaks to head to the cave's entrance! (Don't worry, there are thorough instructions on paddling and safety before we head out to sea.)

The entrance to the Pumpkin Cave is actually in the ocean! So, the timing to enter is only during the perfect moment when the tide is low enough but the kayak doesn't run aground! This really heightens the sense of adventure.

What lies beyond this point is for you to enjoy! An experience that exceeds your imagination awaits you! You can fully experience the unique terrain of Miyako Island! I especially recommend it for those who love nature activities.

Lastly, Tetsu! I had so much fun! Thank you for the precious experience!!

午前中の半日ツアーに参加させて頂きました！
個人では行けないパンプキン鍾乳洞、想像以上にワクワクでまさにアドベンチャー
本当に大満足なツアーでした！✨


担当してくれたのは、現地人に見えるけど実は大阪人のてっちゃん！
陽気でテンポ良いトークで終始楽しい雰囲気を作ってくれて流石の一言


この日は家族連れやカップル含め10名のチームでパンプキン鍾乳洞を目指しました！
隊長てっちゃんのもと、まずはカヤックに乗って鍾乳洞の入口を目指します！
（海に出る前にしっかり漕ぎ方のレクチャーやセーフティに関するレクチャーもあるので安心）


パンプキン鍾乳洞の入口は海の中なのです！
なので入れるタイミングは潮が引きつつもカヤックが座礁しない絶妙なタイミングのみ！
この辺がアドベンチャー感をめちゃくちゃ掻き立てます


これより先は行ってのお楽しみ
想像を超える体験がその先に待っていますよ！
宮古島ならではの地形を存分に体験できます！
ネイチャー系アクティビティが好きな方には特にオススメです


最後に、てっちゃん！めっちゃ楽しかったよー！
貴重な体験をありがとう！！

We participated as a group of three, and each of us was able to experience both SUP and canoeing. We were able to take a lot of photos, and we were very satisfied. It was great to have many photos taken during snorkeling as well.

I would love to do it again!

3人での参加で、それぞれSUPとカヌーを体験できました。
たくさん写真も撮ってもらえましたし、満足でした。
シュノーケリングでもたくさん写真を撮ってもらえて、良かったです。

また、お願いしたいです！

I found a tour that could be reserved the night before and booked this set, but I received a call in the morning of the day, informing me that the Pumpkin Cave was fully booked, so it became a tour only for sea turtle snorkeling. We gathered at the parking lot of Shigira Beach. After hearing the precautions, we put on our gear and headed to the sea. As soon as we entered the water, we were able to see fish, which raised our expectations, but unfortunately, we did not encounter any sea turtles. It was disappointing, but we were able to take photos with clownfish and silhouettes, creating great memories for the family. The staff provided thorough guidance, making it feel safe for beginners to participate.

As a follow-up, I really wanted to see a sea turtle, so the next morning, I tried again with a life jacket and underwater goggles, and I was able to see a sea turtle! I think I was able to meet a sea turtle because they shared some tips with me, so I’m glad I participated in the tour. They also quickly processed a refund for the change in the tour.

前日夜予約できるツアーを探してこちらのセットを予約しましたが、当日朝連絡があり、パンプキン鍾乳洞が満員とのことでウミガメシュノーケリングのみのツアーとなりました。
シギラビーチの駐車場にて集合。
注意事項をきき、グッズ身につけて海へ。
海に入るとすぐに魚をみることができ、期待大でしたが、ウミガメには遭遇できませんでした‥。
残念でしたが、クマノミとの写真やシルエットの写真など撮っていただき、家族のいい思い出になりました。
丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも安心して参加できると思います。

追記、
どうしてもウミガメを見たかったので、翌日の朝ライフジャケットと水中メガネでリベンジしてみたところ、ウミガメをみることができました！
ポイントなど教えてもらったのでウミガメに会うことができたと思うので、ツアーに参加してよかったと思います。
ツアーの変更の返金もすぐしてくれました。

Our guide was Iigo-san, and he was a great guide. He speaks some English and did a great job explaining things during the tour. He was also knowledgeable about the local plants and wildlife.

The kayak tour to the pumpkin cave was great! It was cool to be able to go inside the cave and experience something you don't see every day.

The snorkeling was fine; we were very lucky to see a sea turtle. However, this was probably an activity you can plan on your own if you have the equipment, as this was just happening at a public beach. If you don't want to have to go through the hassle of organizing it yourself, then it will be good to book the snorkeling.

Overall, a great day!

We were concerned about safety for two people, so we decided to book a guided tour this time.

Our guide lived on the island, so we were able to hear stories that we wouldn't normally get to hear, and they were very considerate and attentive!

We were extremely satisfied, and I would like to request the same guide when we visit the island again.

(I hope the guide is still around next time we go! ^_^)

2名で安全面で不安がありましたので今回ガイド付きのツアーを申し込んでみました。

島で生活をしているガイドさんでしたので、
普通じゃ聞けないような話も聞かせてもらえましたし、気遣いの言葉もたくさんかけてもらえました！

大満足でしたので、次来島した際も頼んでみたいなと思いました。

(今回のガイドさん、次いった時も残ってくれていると嬉しいな^_^)

In the morning, I experienced snorkeling around Yufushima, and in the afternoon, around Barasu Island. I signed up because I wanted to make the most of my day.

During the free lunch break, thanks to the prior explanation of nearby shops, I was able to have lunch smoothly. The timing was just right for a post-meal coffee and a quick stop at the nearest supermarket.

In the afternoon snorkeling session, the staff were kind and friendly, making it easy to participate with peace of mind. They also took a lot of photos for us, so we didn't have to worry about taking our own and could fully enjoy the activities! The colorful coral reefs were breathtaking and truly moving, like a dragon palace.

The return shuttle service was excellent, and I would definitely like to use this service again. Thank you for a fulfilling time! ♪

午前由布島、午後バラス島周辺のシュノーケリングを体験。1日効率よく遊びたかったので申し込みました。
フリーのお昼休憩では、事前に周辺店舗の説明をしてくれたお陰でスムーズにランチすることができました。食後のコーヒーや最寄りのスーパーへ立ち寄るのにちょうどの時間配分でした。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、スタッフの皆様が親切かつフレンドリーで安心して参加することができます。
また写真をたくさん撮ってくださったので、自分達で撮る手間もなく、アクティビティを全力で楽しめました！竜宮城のようにカラフルな珊瑚礁は圧巻で本当に感動します。
帰りの送迎まで至れり尽せりで、また利用したいと思います。
充実した時間をありがとうございました♪

Unfortunately, it was not satisfactory.

I think it might be suitable for those who are anxious about swimming in the sea, but I cannot recommend it for those who are fine on their own.

I booked this tour to see sea turtles, but due to the interaction with other guests, I was only able to see them for about a minute.

残念ながら満足できる内容ではありませんでした。

海で泳ぐのが不安っていう方には向いてる内容だと思いますが、1人で問題ない方にはおすすめできません。

海亀を見たくこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、
他のお客さんとの兼ね合いもあり、実際に見れたのは1分ほど。

8:00 Gather at PiPi's parking lot for kayaking
10:00 End
13:00 Gather at Shigira Beach P2 for snorkeling
14:30 Dismissal

*The order may change due to low tide. It is not recommended to bring smartphones, and waterproof cases are unnecessary. However, you can bring them at your own risk.

Both the morning and afternoon sessions were guided by Tecchan, with 10 people in the morning and 8 in the afternoon.

We kayaked to Pumpkin Cave, got off at a shallow area along the way, and entered the cave. Inside the cave, we climbed to the top and finally jumped into the sea, so be careful as you will get soaked in seawater.

For snorkeling, we swam about 70 meters offshore from the beach. Unfortunately, we were unlucky and couldn't see any sea turtles.

In conclusion, despite the fatigue from the busy season, Tecchan's guidance was excellent!

8:00 PiPiの駐車場に集合して、カヤック
10:00 終了
13:00 シギラビーチP2に集合して、シュノーケリング
14:30 解散

※干潮時間の関係で順番は前後する。
スマホは持っていくこと自体推奨されておらず、防水ケースは不要。但し自己責任で持って行ってもいいとのこと。

午前の部、午後の部ともにてっちゃんが案内してくれ、帯同人数はそれぞれ10人、8人だった。

パンプキン鍾乳洞までカヤックで向かい、途中の浅瀬で降りて、パンプキン鍾乳洞に入った。
鍾乳洞内では上部まで登り、最後に海に飛び込むため、全身が海水で濡れるので要注意。

シュノーケリングはビートから沖の方70mほど泳いでいく。私たちは運が悪く、ウミガメを見ることができなかったよ

最後に、繁忙期で連日の疲れが伺えるが、てっちゃんの案内は最高だった！

The cave had a somewhat challenging terrain, but it was cool and mystical inside, which was great. At the exit, I jumped into the sea, and it was both scary and fun. During snorkeling, I got to see turtles and various corals and fish. The guide was wonderful, and I was able to enjoy a fantastic day. I also learned some interesting facts.

鍾乳洞では少しハードな地形をしていますが、中は涼しく神秘的でよかったです。出口では飛び込んで海の中に入ってとても怖さと楽しさがありました。
シュノーケリングでは亀にも会えて、色々なサンゴや魚にも会えることができました。
ガイドさんも素晴らしい方で、楽しい1日を満喫できました。豆知識なども教えていただきました。

A valuable experience and wonderful attendance✨
Our guide, Nogi-chan, was always smiling and friendly, making for a fun day.
They took a lot of videos and photos, and I would love to use their services again when I come back to Miyako Island. Nogi-chan is the best!

貴重な体験と素敵なアテンド✨
ガイドののぎちゃんがつねに笑顔で接してくれて親しみよくて楽しい一日を過ごせました。
沢山動画と写真も撮ってくれてまた宮古島に来た時は利用したいです。のぎちゃんしか勝たん

The morning mangrove kayak tour was an exciting real jungle cruise! We ventured into cave-like areas and glided close to the mangrove branches... I felt like an explorer, and it was so much fun! The guide, with her lovely smile, provided detailed explanations about Ishigaki Island and the mangroves, which was great! We also took a lot of photos.

In the afternoon, the snorkeling and landing on the Phantom Island was guided by a wonderful guy who also had a great smile. He called each of us by name, which made us feel at ease! He communicated frequently in English with families from overseas and solo participants, so I believe there were no worries for anyone! Perhaps because the coral was more abundant than when I went snorkeling in Miyako and Yoron, I was moved by the variety of fish we encountered. The Phantom Island was so beautiful that it left me speechless.

It was truly a satisfying tour! Thank you for the unforgettable memories. One regret I have is that I should have taken a photo with the two guides.

By the way, the kayak guide mentioned, "Tonight, you can see the Perseids meteor shower, so please consider joining the night tour," and I decided to join on short notice, which was a great decision! I saw an incredibly huge and long shooting star! I'm grateful to the guide who told me about it.

午前のマングローブカヤックは、リアルジャングルクルーズで興奮しました‼︎洞窟っぽくなってるところに入っていったり、マングローブの枝すれすれを進んだり…探検家になった気分でとっても楽しかったです笑顔が素敵なガイドのお姉さんが、石垣島や、マングローブについて丁寧に説明して下さったのが良かったです！写真もたくさん撮って頂きました

午後のシュノーケリング &幻の島上陸は、お兄さんのガイドさんで、またこの方も素敵な笑顔で、ひとりひとり名前で呼んで頂いて、安心感がありました！海外から来られていたファミリーや1人参加の方にも、英語でこまめにコミュニケーションをとられていて、おそらく不安はなかったと思います！
宮古や与論でシュノーケリング したときよりも、珊瑚が豊富だからか、たくさんの種類の魚たちに出会えて感動しました
そして幻の島は、きれいすぎて言葉を失いました✨

本当に大満足のツアーでした‼︎一生の思い出をありがとうございました
ひとつ心残りは、ガイドをして下さったお二人と写真撮れば良かったなぁ


余談ですが…
カヤックガイドのお姉さんに「今夜はペルセウス座流星群が見れるので良かったらナイトツアーもご検討ください」とのことで、急遽参加させて頂いたのですが、大正解でした！とんでもなく巨大で長い流れ星☄️が見れました‼︎教えてくれたお姉さんに感謝です✨

I chose snorkeling and canoeing.
During snorkeling, I encountered creatures like sea turtles and clownfish, which are hard to find in Honshu, and I was able to spend a precious time.
In canoeing, I was excited to visit a limestone cave that can only be accessed through the tour, making it a first-time experience.

In both experiences, I was able to take wonderful photos, making it the best day ever.
Thank you very much.

シュノーケリングとカヌーを選びました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメや、カクレクマノミなど本州ではなかなか見られない生き物に出会えて、貴重な時間を過ごすことができました。
カヌーでは、ツアーでしか入ることのできない鍾乳洞に行くことができて、初めての体験にわくわくしました。

どちらの体験でも、素敵なお写真も撮っていただき、最高の1日となりました。
ありがとうございました。

The experience of canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding in the great nature of Iriomote Island is truly unique. The mangrove forests are filled with a diverse array of creatures and life, allowing for close observation! Additionally, although it's a bit cliché, the tour includes crossing the sea on a water buffalo to Yubu Island, providing both typical sightseeing and a deeper, more immersive experience all in one day! It was a highly satisfying course.

西表島の大自然の中でのカヌーやサップ体験はなかなかできない経験です。
マングローブ林は多種多様な，生き物や生物であふれていて、間近で観察する事もできました！
そして、ベタではありますが、水牛で，海を渡り由布島へ行く観光も入っていて、
一般的な観光とより深く奥へ踏み込む体験が同時に、しかも１日で経験出来る！
とても満足度の，高いコースでした。

I experienced canoeing and snorkeling at the Blue Cave! The photos taken during the experience were sent to me after I returned to the hotel, allowing me to enjoy them again. The instructors for canoeing and snorkeling were different, but both were very friendly and reliable on the water! I was lucky to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. If I have the chance to come back to Ishigaki Island, I would like to book activities again. Thank you!

カヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケルを体験しました！
体験中の写真を撮影してくれたのでホテルの帰ってから、送ってもらった写真を見返してまた楽しめました
カヌーとシュノーケルは違うインストラクターの方でしたがどちらの方もとても気さくでまた、水の上では頼もしかったです！
シュノーケルではウミガメも見れてラッキーでした
また石垣島に来ることがあったらアクテビティの予約をしたいです、ありがとうございました
