All Reviews for Okinawa SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard)

It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and after receiving a lecture and some pointers, I was able to get on the board right away. We progressed along a route that took into account the waves and wind, and we took two breaks on the beach in the bay, where we learned about the bay and its wildlife.

During the second break, there were hammocks set up on the beach, which made for a very Instagram-worthy spot. They also took photos for us for free and sent only the pictures with us in them, which was very thoughtful. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again!

人生初めてのSUPでしたが、初めにレクチャー・ポイントを教えて頂き、すぐに乗ることが出来ました。
波や風を考えたルートで進んでいき、休憩は湾の浜辺で2回取って、湾や生物の説明をしてくださったり、勉強にもなりました。
2回目の休憩には浜辺にハンモックが設置されており、とても写真映えするスポットでした。
写真も無料で撮ってくださり、自分達が映ってる写真のみを送ってくださり、とても丁寧な対応でした。
ありがとうございました。また参加したいと思います！

Based on a recommendation from an acquaintance who said, "You absolutely have to go on this tour," I participated with a friend.

First up was the Pumpkin Cave! We walked for about 20 minutes, but it was very enjoyable as our guide shared various stories about culture and history along the way.

The moment we entered the Pumpkin Cave, I was overwhelmed by its mystical beauty, making me question if I was really in Japan! The final dive was exhilarating as I jumped in without hesitation.

After that, we went snorkeling at Shinjo Beach. I was so happy to see four sea turtles and even Nemo in the beautiful sea! Our guide took many photos, making it a truly memorable experience.

I've been on various activity tours before, but this one left me completely satisfied, and I would definitely want to sign up again if I visit Miyako Island. Thank you!

知り合いの「このツアーは絶対に行ったほうがいい」という事前情報を元に、友達と2人で参加してみました。
まずはパンプキン鍾乳洞！
20分程度歩きましたが、ガイドの方が文化だったり歴史だったり、いろんなお話をしてくださりながらだったのでとても楽しく向かうことができました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞に入った瞬間は、ここは本当に日本か！というレベルの神秘さに圧倒されました。
最後のダイブは思い切って飛び込んでとても爽快でした。
その後は、新城海岸にてシュノーケリング。
綺麗な海でウミガメ4匹やニモにも会うことができとっても嬉しかったです！
ガイドの方からたくさん写真も撮っていただき、とても記憶に残る体験となりました！
今までいろんなアクティビティツアーに行きましたが、宮古島へ行ったらまた申し込みたいという大満足な内容でした。
ありがとうございました！

The guide was very kind and provided excellent guidance. They also recommended a great place for lunch. The weather on the tour day was fantastic, and I was able to enjoy both the Pumpkin Cave and snorkeling. I was very satisfied to see about ten sea turtles while snorkeling.

During the tour, we were able to take photos at various spots. I especially appreciated the beautiful underwater photos with the sea turtles and fish, which I couldn't have captured myself.

ガイドの方はとても親切に案内してくださいました。
オススメの昼食の場所も教えてくださいます。
ツアー日はとても天候がよく、パンプキン鍾乳洞もシュノーケリングも楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメを10匹ほど見ることができ、とても満足です。

ツアー途中様々な箇所で写真を撮ってもらえます。
特に水中でのウミガメや魚との写真も綺麗に撮っていただき、自分では撮影出来ない写真をいただけたので有り難かったです。

I participated in the sea turtle snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave tour this time. I was amazed to see sea turtles up close and swim with them! It was my first experience, and I was incredibly moved. After snorkeling with the sea turtles, we went to Pumpkin Cave. It seems you can only enter during low tide, and I was shocked by the impressive sight of Pumpkin for the first time. The guide mentioned that it’s always moving, and I completely agree! The jump from Pumpkin at the end was thrilling! The guide was very attentive and encouraged us to reach out anytime during our trip. They even sent us photos, and I felt incredibly well taken care of. I am extremely satisfied!

今回ウミガメのシュノーケルとパンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
あんなに近くでウミガメが観れて、一緒に泳げるとは！
初めての体験で、凄く感動しました。
ウミガメのシュノーケルに続いてパンプキンに、、
干潮時しか入れないらしく、初めてみたパンプキンの迫力に驚きました。ガイドをして頂いた方が何回来ても感動すると、まさにその通りだなと思いました！
最後のパンプキンからのジャンプはスリル満点です！
ガイドさんも丁寧に教えてくださり、旅行中気軽にご相談くださいと！写真も送ってきてくださって、凄く親切にして頂き大大大満足です。

It was my first time trying SUP, and I had a great time. They explained the points clearly before we started and taught us at a good pace, which was perfect for someone like me who wanted to jump right in. I was able to stand up and enjoy it right away! The snorkeling was also great, and I’m glad I participated because they took us to places I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Honestly, I was skeptical about whether we would really see sea turtles, but we did, and I was very satisfied! They also took a lot of photos during the tour, which created wonderful memories. The group size was just right, not too big, which was nice. The guide was cheerful, kind, and very pleasant! I would definitely like to do this again if I have the chance! Thank you very much for this experience.

SUPは初めてでしたがとても楽しめました。しっかり始める前にポイントを伝えてテンポよく教えて下さるので、すぐにやりたい派の私にはとてもよかったです(^^)無事すぐに立ち上がって楽しむことができました！シュノーケルもですが、ツアーでないと知れなかった場所に連れて行ってくださり参加してよかったです。正直ウミガメも本当にみれるのか半信半疑でしたが本当に見れて大満足です！またツアーの中で写真もたくさん撮って下さり思い出が増えました(^^)人数も多過ぎず、少人数で良かったです。ガイドのお兄さんも明るくて優しくとても感じの良い方です！また機会があったらぜひお願いしたいです！！この度はありがとうございました。

At the beginning of July, my partner and I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) together!

It was our first time for both activities, but the guide was kind and taught us very carefully, so we quickly grasped the techniques and were able to enjoy ourselves!

The waters around Miyako Island are incredibly clear, and during snorkeling, we were able to see many colorful fish and corals from a distance! We were lucky enough to find our target sea turtles right away, and during the tour, we got to swim with six of them, which was very satisfying!

The experience of looking out at the blue sea from the SUP board was also very pleasant! I think even those who aren't very good at sports can enjoy it right away, so I would recommend it to many people!

7月初めにシュノーケル＋SUPをカップルで体験しました！

シュノーケルもSUPも初めてでしたが，ガイドの方が親切でとても丁寧に教えていただけたのですぐにコツをつかむことができ，楽しむことができました！

宮古島の海は透明度がとても高く，シュノーケリングではカラフルな色の魚やサンゴを遠くからでもたくさん観賞できました！お目当てのウミガメもすぐに見つけることができ，ツアーでは運よく6匹と一緒に泳ぐことができ大満足でした！

SUPボードの上から青い海を眺めながらの体験もとても気持ちよかったです！あまり運動が得意でなくてもすぐに楽しめると思うので，いろんな人にオススメしたいです！

We used the service for two people in late June. The guide was very kind and taught us gently, and we were able to meet the sea turtles we had always wanted to see. Additionally, at Pumpkin Hall, they provided detailed explanations about the plants and culture of Okinawa and Miyako Island, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Here, you walk from the parking lot to the cave, so the return trip can be a bit tiring, but I still think it's a place worth visiting. We were also able to receive photo data, making it a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much!

6月の下旬に二人で利用させていただきました。
ガイドをして頂いた方は、初心者でも優しく教えてくださり、念願のウミガメにも出会うことができました。
また、パンプキンホールでは、沖縄や宮古島の植物、文化などを細かく説明してくださり、一層旅行を楽しめるものとなりました。ここでは、駐車場から洞窟まで歩くので帰り道は少し疲れますがそれでも行く価値のある場所だと思います。
写真のデータもいただくことができたりと、大満足のいくツアーでした。
本当にありがとうございました！

The weather forecast had predicted thunderstorms on the day of our activity, which made me quite worried. However, we received a message the day before suggesting, "How about we move the meeting time up by an hour since the waves will be high in the afternoon?" This allowed us to enjoy the experience until the end!

It's reassuring to leave things to the sea professionals for a safe and enjoyable time.

On the day of the activity, we gathered at the Imugya parking lot, where three groups, including ours, participated. One group chose SUP while another opted for canoeing. I fell into the sea early on during SUP (laughs), but the instructors provided tips on how to stand, and by the end, I was able to paddle while standing.

We then moved to Shinjo Beach for snorkeling. Since we wore life jackets and fins, I felt safe even though I couldn't swim well. The instructor pointed out where to find clownfish and helped us look for sea turtles, showing great care for the participants, which made it enjoyable. I was thrilled to see three sea turtles at once!

The photos taken by the instructor captured both the sea turtles and us perfectly! They took many pictures, creating wonderful memories!

I would love to request this experience again when I visit Miyako Island! Thank you very much!

天気予報ではアクティビティの日は雷雨の予報でとても心配でしたが、前日の集合場所連絡で「午後は波が高いから集合時間を1時間早めませんか？」という提案をいただき、最後まで楽しむことができました！
やはり海のプロにお任せすると安心安全に楽しめます。

当日はイムギャー駐車場に集合で私たちも含めて3組が参加していて、私たちともう1組はSUP、1組はカヌーを選択していました。
SUPでは早々に海に落ちましたが(笑)、立ち方のコツなど随時指摘していただけて最後は立って漕げるようになりました。

場所を新城海岸に移動してシュノーケルをやりました。
ライブジャケットとフィンを付けるので泳げなくても多分大丈夫です。
インストラクターさんにクマノミの場所を教えてもらったり、ウミガメを探してくれたり、参加者のことを気にかけてくれたので楽しめました。
ウミガメが3匹同時に見れたのはとても嬉しかったです！

インストラクターさんが撮ってくれた写真にはウミガメと私たちがばっちり写っていました！
ほかにもたくさん撮ってくれて良い思い出になりました！

また宮古島に行ったときはお願いしたいです！
ありがとうございました！

This time, I wanted to do SUP and snorkeling in Ishigaki Island, so I made a reservation here.

To sum it up, I am very satisfied!!

The guide was Ryusei.
In the car, even during the state of emergency, he provided detailed information about shops that were likely to be less crowded.

What I thought after experiencing the tour is that he taught us very carefully and praised us a lot!

He is a guide that both adults and children can enjoy, sharing detailed stories that even adults find interesting.

Also, he took multiple photos and videos, and the angles were fantastic, making them perfect for Instagram!

For important memories, I thought it would be nice to have someone friendly, and he was just that!!

I definitely want everyone to experience this!

今回は石垣島でsupとシュノーケルがやりたくてこちらを予約させていただきました。

結論から言うと大満足です！！

ガイドさんは【りゅうせい】さんでした。
車内では、緊急事態宣言中にも関わらず、空いているであろうお店を細かく教えてくださいます。

ツアーを体験して思ったことは
とにかく丁寧に教えてくださり、よく誉めてくださいます！

大人も子供も楽しめるガイドさんで、大人も【へぇ～】となるような詳しい話をしてくれます。

あとは、写真や動画を複数とってくださるのですがアングルがぴかいちでインスタ映えしますよ～～

大切な思い出には、やっぱり愛想がよい方がいいな～と思っていたらドンピシャでした！！


是非皆さんに体験して欲しいです！

We had planned to do SUP at Kawarawan, but due to a forecast of strong winds, we changed locations and were taken to the mangroves. I was worried it might be canceled, so I was really glad they were able to hold it at a different spot!

The mangroves felt like a jungle, and it was fun to feel like an adventurer. Surprisingly, even without much core strength, I was able to stand up on the SUP quite easily, and the wind was pleasant, allowing me to fully enjoy the mangroves!

During the afternoon snorkeling, there were many corals and colorful fish in the shallow waters, making me feel like I was swimming in an aquarium, which really boosted my excitement. We also got to visit the Blue Cave, which was mystical and very impressive.

Additionally, thanks to our guide who explained various fish and plants, I was able to enjoy it even more, making it a very fulfilling day!

川原湾でのSUPの予定でしたが、風が強い予報のため場所を変更し、マングローブに連れて行ってもらいました。中止になるかもしれないと思っていたので、場所を変更して開催してもらえて、とても良かったです！
マングローブはジャングルのようなところで、冒険家？になった気分で楽しかったです。SUPは、体幹がない私でも意外とすんなり立つことができて、風も心地よく、マングローブを満喫できました！
午後のシュノーケルでは、浅瀬に珊瑚と、カラフルな魚がたくさんいて、水族館の中を泳いでるような気分でテンションが上がりました☆青の洞窟にも行くことができ、神秘的でとても印象的でした。
また、ガイドさんがお魚や植物など色んな説明をしてくれたおかげで、更に楽しむことができ、とても充実した1日なりました！

The guide was very cheerful and easy to talk to! From the contact the day before, they provided helpful information like "there won't be any restrooms ahead, so it's better to go now" and "be careful, it's slippery here," which made me feel very at ease. It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me very carefully, and I was able to go back and forth on the course without falling even once. They also took a lot of photos, making it a memorable day. I will definitely make a reservation again when I go to Okinawa! Thank you so much!

ガイドさんがとても明るくて話しやすかったです！
前日の連絡からはじまり、この先はトイレがないので今行っておいた方がいいとか、ここは滑りやすいので注意、とかこまめに情報をくださり、とても安心でした。
SUPは初めてでしたが、とても丁寧に教えていただき、1回も落ちずにコースを往復することができました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、思い出に残る1日になりました。
また沖縄に行った際は予約させていただきます！
本当にありがとうございました！

I participated in the Kayahira Bay SUP + Blue Cave Snorkeling tour (with hotel pickup and free photos).

Good points:
1. There were two guides, one male and one female, both of whom had excellent service spirits, making the tour very enjoyable. This is important, but I think it also depends on luck.
2. The service includes taking photos, so whether you're participating alone or in a group, you can get various scenes captured. It's great for Instagram.
3. The sea near the Blue Cave is the perfect spot for snorkeling.

Bad points:
1. There are no restrooms available.
2. Although it's a full-day tour, we were dropped off in the city for lunch in the morning, and then we had to regroup for the afternoon tour. The tour members also changed. It's unfortunate that meals are not included. Convenience store bento boxes came in handy.

川平湾SUP ＋青の洞窟シュノーケリング ＜ホテル送迎／写真無料＞に参加しました。
良かった点
①ガイドさんが男女2名おり、どちらもサービス精神に優れていたので、とても楽しいツアーになりました。ここは重要ですが運次第だと思う。
②写真を撮ってくれるサービスが付いているので一人参加からグループまで一緒に様々なシーンを撮って貰える。インスタアップにやくだつ。
③青の洞窟近くの海はシュノーケリングに最高な場所
悪かった点
①全てトイレがない。
②1日ツアーだが午前で一旦市街地に降ろされ、各自で昼食を取り、再度集合して午後ツアーに向かう。ツアーメンバーも入れ替わる。食事なしが残念。コンビニ弁当が活躍。

I made a last-minute reservation the day before, but they handled everything perfectly!!! I signed up for a tour of Kabira Bay, but due to strong winds on the day, it couldn't be conducted. However, as an alternative, they recommended a SUP tour at Miyara River, and I ended up using that tour instead. I really wanted to do SUP, so I appreciate them introducing a tour that could be done even in bad weather. At Miyara River, there are mangroves around, so the wind had little impact, and even beginners could enjoy it. The tour guide was friendly and took photos for us, and even shared recommendations for local shops! The content of the optional tour was great, but the guide's personality was also wonderful, so I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ishigaki Island. I would love to use their services again for a tour of Kabira Bay as a revenge tour when I come back to Ishigaki Island!!!

急遽、前日に予約しましたが、しっかり対応いただきました！！！川平湾のツアーを申し込みましたが、当日は風が強い為、催行できませんでした。でもその代替案として宮良川のsupをすすめていただき、そのままそちらのツアーを利用しました。どうしてもsupがしたかったので、こうやって悪天候でもできるツアーを紹介してくださり、感謝しております^^ 宮良川だと周りにマングローブがはえているので風の影響もほとんどなく、初心者でも楽しむことができました★★★ツアーガイドさんも気さくで写真を撮ってくださったり、おすすめのお店まで教えてくださりました！！オプショナルツアーの内容もですが、ツアーガイドさんのお人柄も良かったのでぜひ石垣島に来られた方にはオススメしたいです。また石垣島へ来たらリベンジで川平湾のツアーなどで利用したいと思いました！！！

This is a wonderful tour that captures the essence of Miyako Island. The color of the Miyako Blue sea and the graceful sea turtles swimming right in front of us were truly moving. We were very excited to see the sea turtles so close while snorkeling, and the kids were thrilled.

Pumpkin Hall was harder than I expected. I thought we would reach the entrance by SUP or canoe, but I realized that walking there requires a lot of stamina, making it a tough tour. However, the guide was attentive, and at Pumpkin Hall, I learned about the history of the stalactite cave that took many years to form, and I could truly feel the greatness of nature. The guide provided explanations at various points, which was educational.

It was the best adventure tour that I want many people to know about.

宮古島の良さがギュッと詰まった素敵なツアーです。宮古ブルーの海の色、その中で私たちの目の前を優雅に泳ぐウミガメ。
シュノーケルでこんなに近くにウミガメをみれる事にとても感動し、子供も大興奮でした。
パンプキンホールは思ったよりもハードです。
supかカヌーで入口まで行くのかと思ってたのですが、歩きで行くには体力が無いと過酷なツアーなのだと思いました。苦笑
しかし、ガイドさんも気にかけてくれ、パンプキンホールでは長い年月をかけてこの形になった鐘乳洞の歴史を知り、そして自然の偉大さをまじまじと感じることが出来ました。
ガイドさんが、所々でちゃんと説明をしてくれるので、勉強になりました。
多くの方に知ってもらいたい最高のアドベンチャーツアーでした。

I was glad to be able to try SUP for the first time in Ishigaki Island. Despite the weather forecast predicting rain, it somehow turned cloudy, which was a relief. Since we were at the edge of Kabira Bay, the scenery was different from what I had seen in photos, but it was an ideal spot for SUP. The downside was that there were no restrooms, so we left the hotel and returned without any bathroom breaks. Overall, it was enjoyable because the guide was great, and I would like to use this service again. I think it would be best if the weather is nice next time. Also, there are no places to change or buy drinks, so I recommend preparing those in advance.

SUPが初体験だったので石垣島で出来てよかった。
天気が雨予想のなか、なんとか、曇りになり助かった。川平湾の端っこだったので写真で見た風景と違ったがSUPするには、最適な場所。難点はトイレなどが無く、ホテルから出発し、ホテルに戻るまでトイレなし。全体的には、ガイドさんが良かったので楽しかった。また、次も利用したい。次は天気ならベストだと思います。あとは、着替えるところや、飲み物を買う場所はないので、あらかじめ、用意しておくことをお勧めします。

Initially, I was scheduled to go to Balas Island, but due to weather conditions, it was changed to caving and canyoning. The mangroves were breathtaking. I was truly moved. Canyoning was a bit scary, but I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors, something I don't experience in my daily life. The guide was fun and interesting, and the photos they took were all wonderful.
However, due to the state of emergency, most of the recommended shops were closed during the day, which was disappointing. I think it would be very helpful if you could do some research in advance.

当初バラス島に行く予定でしたが、天候の影響によりケービングとキャニオニングに変更になりました。マングローブは圧巻でした。感動しました。キャニオニングは少し怖かったですが、日常で味わうことのない大自然を満喫できました。ガイドの方が楽しく面白く説明してくださり、撮ってくださった写真も素晴らしいものばかりでした。
ただ、緊急事態宣言下ということもあり、昼にお勧めして頂いたお店がほとんど閉まっており、残念でした。事前に調査して頂けるととても助かると思います。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island. The waves were calm, and the boat ride was hardly shaky, which heightened my expectations for snorkeling at Barasu Island. Upon arriving at the Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, I quickly met up with the tour guide. Due to the tides, we were scheduled to visit Barasu Island in the morning and go mangrove canoeing in the afternoon. I borrowed the necessary equipment and boarded the boat. Onboard, the guide carefully explained how to use the equipment, making it easy for beginners to understand. After about ten minutes, we arrived at Barasu Island. Unfortunately, the island was not visible above the water that day, but the shallow waters reached up to my knees, and I could really feel that this was Barasu Island. We then began snorkeling. The water was very clear, and I was able to see colorful fish gathered around the coral reefs. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle while it was feeding. After finishing snorkeling, we returned to Uehara Port for lunch. We ate at a diner near the port and prepared for the canoe tour. After a short drive, the canoe tour began. Guided by our guide's thorough explanations, we paddled up the Kura River. The guide provided insights about the flora and fauna along the way, which was very educational. After paddling for a while, we got out of the canoe and walked to Kura Falls. Although the temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, the area around the waterfall felt refreshing and cool. It was a fantastic experience to enjoy both the sea and mountains of Iriomote Island in one day.

石垣島からの日帰りで参加しました。波は穏やかで行きの船もほとんど揺れず、バラス島シュノーケリングへの期待が高まります。西表島上原港に到着すると、さっそくツアーガイドの方と合流。この日は潮の関係で午前中にバラス島、午後にマングローブカヌーとのこと。早速道具一式をお借りして船に乗り込みます。船上では道具の付け方など丁寧に説明していただき、初心者でもすぐ理解することができました。10分ほどでバラス島に到着。この日はあいにく海面に島は出ていませんでしたが、膝くらいまでの浅瀬になっており、ここがバラス島なのだと実感が湧きました。そこからシュノーケルを開始。海はとても透明度が高く、サンゴ礁に集うカラフルな魚たちを見ることができました。また、運よく食事中のウミガメにも遭遇できました。シュノーケルを終えると、いったん上原港に戻り昼食です。港近くの食堂で食べ、カヌーツアーに備えます。その後、少し車で移動し、カヌーツアーがスタート。ガイドさんの丁寧な案内のもとクーラ川を上っていきます。都度動植物の解説をしてくださり、とても勉強になりました。ある程度上り終わると、カヌーを降りて歩きでクーラの滝へ。気温は30度を超えていましたが、滝の周りは清涼感があり、とても涼しく感じました。1日で西表島の海と山の魅力をどちらも体感でき、最高の体験となりました。

At the end of June 2021, I participated in the snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave tour. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but I was extremely satisfied with the tour content and the personality of the instructor, so I wanted to write a review to highly recommend it.

We started with snorkeling. I was informed beforehand that there was a 99.9% chance of seeing sea turtles. The water was shallow enough to stand, so even those who are not confident swimmers can snorkel without any issues. I was fortunate enough to encounter several sea turtles, both large and small, and I was amazed by how close and numerous they were. I don't think you can encounter that many sea turtles even at diving spots. Additionally, the instructor took individual photos of each participant with the sea turtles. There were also plenty of explanations about corals and fish.

After that, we drove to Pumpkin Cave, heading from Bora River Beach. The instructor lent us waterproof covers for the car. Upon arriving at Bora River Beach, we walked about 20 minutes through shallow water up to our knees to reach the cave. The footing was uneven, and there were small waves, so it might take some physical effort, especially for women. However, anyone can definitely walk there. The view upon arriving at Pumpkin Cave is breathtaking. It far exceeded my expectations based on photos I had seen online. That scenery is something you rarely see, not just in Japan but around the world. Inside the cave, there are adventure elements, including light waterfall climbing and jumping. For tours that end here, you can rinse off the seawater from your feet, but there are no changing spaces, so it would be helpful to have something to keep the car dry on the way back (like a large plastic bag or waterproof sheet).

I actually hesitated to sign up for this tour, thinking it might not be that great due to the rainy season, but I wanted to share the excitement of this tour with many people, which is why I wrote this review. The weather doesn't affect the enjoyment of this tour.

I've highlighted the wonderful aspects of the tour itinerary, but I must also mention that the instructor who guided us was very kind and considerate. They recommended great places to eat in Miyako Island, and their smile was truly lovely and memorable, which is definitely an important point of recommendation. I now feel like I want to use this service again when I visit Miyako Island next time. Thank you very much.

2021年6月末、シュノーケリング・パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーに参加しました。
残念ながら天気には恵まれなかったのですが、ツアー内容は勿論、インストラクターさんのお人柄も含め結果的に大満足だったため、とてもお薦めしたくレビューを記載します。

シュノーケリングからスタート。事前に99.9%ウミガメに会えるとの説明を受けました。遠浅で足がつくので、泳ぎに自信がない方でも問題なくシュノーケリングできます。実際ウミガメには恵まれ、大小含め複数の個体に遭遇しましたが、その近さと多さには驚きました。ダイビングのウミガメスポットでもあれ程多くのウミガメには出会えないと思います。その上インストラクターさんに、ゆっくりウミガメとツアー参加者の写真を一人一人撮っていただけます。ウミガメ以外にも、珊瑚や魚の説明もたくさんありました。

その後、パンプキン鍾乳洞まで自身の車で移動、保良川ビーチからパンプキン鍾乳洞を目指します。移動に際してはインストラクターさんから車内防水カバーを貸していただきました。保良川ビーチ到着後、片道膝下程度の浅瀬を洞窟まで約20分歩きます。足場が悪いことと小さいながらも波の影響を受けるため、特に女性は体力を使うかも知れません。しかし、確実に誰でも歩くことができます。その後、パンプキン鍾乳洞に着いた後の光景は圧巻です。インターネットの写真の期待値を遥かに上回る光景が待っています。日本国内のみならず世界でもあの景色はなかなか見れないのではないでしょうか。洞窟内はアドベンチャー要素があり、軽い滝登り・沢登りや、飛び込みを楽しめます。ここで解散するツアーの場合、水道で足の海水は流せますが、着替えスペース等はないため、帰りの車を濡らさない工夫（大きめのビニール袋や防水シート）があれば尚良いかと思います。

実は梅雨時期ということもあり大きな期待をせず申し込んだ自分を恥じながら、今回のツアーの感動を多くの方にお伝えできればと思い今回のレビューを書きました。本ツアーに天気は関係なく楽しめます。

ここまでツアー行程の素晴らしさを書きましたが、今回引率していただいたインストラクターさんがとても優しく気遣いをしていただき、宮古島のおすすめのお店を教えていただいたり、笑顔がとっても素敵で印象的だったことも勿論とても大事なお勧めポイントです。是非次回宮古島に来た時も利用したいと思わせていただける日になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to experience the unique mangrove forests of Iriomote Island through kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as trekking to appreciate the abundant nature of the island. If I had gone to Iriomote Island on my own without participating in such a tour, I wouldn't have felt that connection to nature. I was also thrilled to go snorkeling at Barasu Island, which I had longed to visit. This is definitely a place you can't easily reach on your own. The tour fees were quite high, but it was worth it. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to try free diving at Barasu (laughs).

西表島ならではのマングローブ林カヤックやSUP,、トレッキングで西表島の溢れる自然を確認できました。このようなツアーに参加せず個人で西表島に行ってもそんな自然は感じられなかったでしょう。 そしてバラス島に憧れていたのでシュノーケリングできて嬉しかったです。 これも個人ではまず行けないところです。 ツアー代金はけっこうかかりますがその価値はありました。 欲を言えばバラスで素潜りしたかった(笑)

In the morning, I went to the Pumpkin Cave, and in the afternoon, I did sea turtle snorkeling. During the lunch break between the morning and afternoon activities, I had some free time, so it was nice to return to the hotel and relax, and I appreciated the flexibility in the schedule.
I initially thought the Pumpkin Cave would be a quick visit, but I was able to go deeper than I expected, which was satisfying.
For the sea turtle snorkeling, I entered the water and encountered a sea turtle about five minutes later, which was surprising. After that, I snorkeled over the coral reef and saw many tropical fish.

午前中はパンプキン鍾乳洞へ行き、午後はウミガメシュノーケリングでした。午前と午後の間の昼休憩は時間が空くので、ホテルに戻ってゆっくりでき、スケジュールにゆとりがあって良かったです。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は少しみて終わりなのかなと思って参加しましたが、思ってたより奥まで行くことができ、満足でした。
ウミガメシュノーケリングは海に入って、5分後くらいにはウミガメに遭遇し、びっくりしました。その後はサンゴ礁の上をシュノーケリングし、熱帯魚もたくさん見れました。

We participated as a couple. My wife had experienced it once before, and it was my first time.
Our guide was Ryusei, a 26-year-old who loves traveling abroad.

Even if it's your first time with SUP, he teaches you carefully, so don't hesitate to give it a try! It's just right for burning calories while traveling.

The scenery was amazing, just like in the photos! There was no wind that day, and it was sunny, so the sea was clear and beautiful.
Also, talking with the guide was a lot of fun, and his advice for our afternoon sightseeing plan was excellent.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced, if you come to Ishigaki Island, you should definitely give it a try!

夫婦2名で参加しました。妻は一度経験有りで、自分は初体験です。
ガイドは、海外好きのリュウセイさん26歳。

SUP
が初めてでも、丁寧に教えてくれますので恐れずトライしてみましょう！旅行中のカロリー消費に丁度良いです。

景色は写真の通り、素晴らしい！この日は風も無くて、晴れてたので海も透き通って綺麗でした。
また、ガイドさんとのトークも大変楽しく、午後からの観光プランのアドバイスも素晴らしかったです。

SUP初心者も、経験者も、石垣島にきたらトライしましょっ！

I experienced a sea turtle snorkeling tour at Shinjo Coast, and I never expected to encounter a sea turtle just five minutes after the tour started. During the tour, I was able to see three sea turtles. This is a recommended spot for those who want to see sea turtles!

As we went further out, there were many coral reefs, and I was very satisfied to experience the ocean of Miyako Island just as I had imagined.

However, it's disappointing that the cave tour was canceled due to beach closures from COVID-19... I hope to make a comeback next time!

新城海岸にてウミガメシュノーケリングツアーを体験しましたが、まさかツアー開始５分後にはウミガメと出逢えるなんて思ってもいませんでした。ツアー中には３匹のウミガメを見ることが出来ました。ウミガメが見たい！という方にはお勧めのスポットです！
沖の方に行くと珊瑚礁が沢山あり、想像してた通りの宮古島の海を体験できてとても満足しています。

でもコロナによるビーチ閉鎖で鍾乳洞ツアーが中止になって残念です…次回にリベンジしたいと思います！

I participated in a plan that included a limestone cave, SUP, and canyoning. Initially, the plan was to land on Barasu Island, but due to weather conditions, it was changed to canyoning.

I was a bit anxious since I had never done SUP before, but I was able to paddle happily without falling, even as a beginner! The guide taught us various things about the unique nature of Iriomote Island, including insects, lizards, flowers, and trees, which was very meaningful.

Canyoning involved diving into waterfalls, swimming, and sliding down, which was scary but felt amazing! You will basically get wet! I recommend using a waterproof camera. However, the guide took plenty of photos and sent the data on the same day, so it was all good.

鍾乳洞&SUP&キャニオニングのプランに参加しました。当初、バラス島上陸のプランでしたが、天候の都合によりキャニオニングに変更になりました。
SUPはやったことがなかったので不安だったのですが、初心者でも落ちることなく楽しく漕ぐことができました！虫やトカゲ、花や木など西表島固有の自然のこともガイドさんに色々教えていただき有意義でした。
キャニオニングは滝つぼにダイブしたり、泳いだり、滑り台をしたり、怖かったけどすごく気持ちよかったです！
基本的に水に濡れます！カメラは防水をオススメします。でも、ガイドさんがたくさん撮ってくれて、当日中にデータを送ってくれたので大丈夫でした。

I participated with two friends as a final memory of my 50s. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and I was able to stand up and paddle through a river lined with mangroves. Along the way, we went trekking and explored the jungle while wading up to our waists! I also saw the "sagaribana," which can only be seen once a year, for the first time. At the Kuura Falls, I was able to recharge my energy. Our guide was kind and interacted with us, who were moving at a slower pace, with a smile while explaining various things as we progressed.

Snorkeling at Balas Island was also wonderful; we enjoyed the beautiful sea with coral and tropical fish, and we even encountered a turtle. It was definitely an experience worth having at least once in a lifetime.

50代最後の思い出にと女子3人で参加しました。
初めてのSUP体験でしたが立つこともできマングローブの生い茂る川を進み、途中トレッキングで腰まで浸かりながらジャングル探検！年に一度しか見れない「サガリバナ」も初めて見ました。クーラ滝ではいっぱいパワーチャージできました。ガイドさんも親切でペースの遅い私たちにも笑顔で接し色々説明しながら進んでくれました。
バラス島でのシュノーケリングも綺麗な海で珊瑚や熱帯魚を満喫し、亀にも出会えました。人生一度は体験する価値ありでした。

I participated with a friend. I had heard that the encounter rate with sea turtles was 99%, so I thought we would see a lot of them. In reality, we encountered even more sea turtles than I expected, and I was very satisfied!! The guide took pictures of us swimming with the turtles, which I want to post on Instagram. After the tour ended, they kindly provided recommendations for dining and other spots, making it an even better Miyako Island tour. Thank you very much.

友達と2人で参加させていただきました。
事前にウミガメとの遭遇率は99%と聞いてたのでたくさん会えるだろうと思ってました。
実際参加すると予想よりも多くのウミガメと遭遇できて大満足！！
ガイドさんにカメと泳いでる写真を撮ってもらえました。インスタに投稿したいた思います。
ツアーが終わった後も、食事処やおすすめスポットを丁寧に教えていただき、より最高の宮古島ツアーになりました。
ありがとうございました。

I was nervous about whether I could ride a SUP for the first time, but thanks to the instructor's clear explanations and support, I was able to stay on without falling even once! The instructor was friendly, easy to talk to, and funny, making the experience very enjoyable. The sea was a bit rough, so we couldn't go too far, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the ocean. I would like to try again when the sea is calm!

In the afternoon, I was taken to a very beautiful snorkeling spot where I saw sea turtles multiple times. We took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories.

はじめてのSUPで、うまく乗ることができるか不安でしたがインストラクターの方のわかりやすい説明とサポートのおかげで一度も落ちずに乗れました！インストラクターの方は気さくで話しやすくおもしろい方でとても楽しく体験することができました。少し海が荒れていて、遠くまでは行けませんでしたが、綺麗な景色と海を堪能できました。また海の穏やかなときに再チャレンジしたいです！
午後はシュノーケリングでとてもきれいなスポットへ連れて行っていただき何度も海ガメに会えました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、よい思い出になりました。

At first, I was a little scared to dive into the sea, but thanks to the kind and fun guidance, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I was able to see many sea turtles, and it was moving to swim not only with the turtles but also with the fish. The sea and the coral were very beautiful, and it felt great to swim. I was happy to receive many photos that were taken and sent to me. It became a wonderful time that will remain as a memory of our honeymoon. Thank you very much.

初めは海に潜るのも少し怖かったのですが、親切に楽しく教えていただき、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができましたし、カメだけでなく魚たちとも一緒に泳げて感動しました。
海もサンゴもとても綺麗で、泳いでいて気持ち良かったです。
写真もたくさん撮って送ってくださり、嬉しかったです。
ハネムーンの思い出に残る素敵な時間になりました。
ありがとうございました。

It was my first time on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and I was able to get on it more easily than I expected. The outbound trip was smooth with a tailwind, but I quickly struggled on the way back due to the headwind. Our guide, Nishihara, connected the four of us and led us, so we were able to reach our destination safely.

The afternoon at the Blue Cave was a bit disappointing due to the weather, but I was able to encounter many fish while snorkeling. The guide took a lot of great photos for us, which was wonderful.

By the way, there was a slight trouble that delayed our start time, but during that time, we were taken to a delicious juice shop.

初めてのSUPでしたが、思ったよりも簡単に乗ることが出来ました。行きは追い風でスムーズに進む事ができましたが、帰りが向かい風ですぐにダウン。ガイドの西原さんが4人を繋いで先導してくれたので、無事たどり着くことが出来ました。
午後の青の洞窟は、天候の関係でいまいちでしたが、シュノーケリングは沢山の魚たちに出会うことが出来ました。ガイドさんが写真も沢山撮ってくれて良かったです。
ちなみにちょっとしたトラブルで、スタート時間が遅れてしまいましたが、その時間で美味しいジュース店に連れて行ってもらえました。

Despite making a reservation at 1 AM on the day of the experience, I received a polite confirmation regarding the meeting place and what to bring! It's important for participants to use the restroom before departing from the meeting place, as there are no restrooms available until the end of the experience. From the meeting place, it takes about 10 minutes by car to reach Kabira Bay. The instructors provide clear explanations on how to use the paddle and how to balance on the board, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable. The board is larger and more stable than I expected, so I was able to balance easily and even stand up! The view of Kabira Bay from standing up is breathtaking!! I was so captivated by the beauty of Kabira Bay that while paddling, I was surprised to realize how easily I had progressed, thinking, "Wow, I've come this far!" The guide was very friendly and kind, and they were great at taking photos! There were several photo spots, and they took natural pictures from various angles! When I received the data back, there were 130 photos, which made for wonderful memories! For those who might be worried about getting tired or whether they have enough stamina, you can take breaks along the way, and you can also paddle while sitting, which was great. Overall, the weather was nice, and Kabira Bay was incredibly beautiful, leaving me deeply moved.

当日の夜中1時に予約をしたにもかかわらず、集合場所や持ち物の確認のご連絡を丁寧にしていただきました！集合場所から出発するまでにお手洗いを済ませないと、体験終了までお手洗いがないので、参加される方はご注意を。集合場所で車に乗って川平湾まで10分程進みます。浜でパドルの使い方やボードに安定して乗る方法などを分かりやすくレクチャーしてくださるので初心者でも安心です。思ったよりボードが大きくて安定感があるので、簡単にバランスを取ることもできるし、立ち上がることもできました！立ち上がって見る川平湾は絶景です！！川平湾が綺麗すぎて無我夢中で漕いでると「もう、ここまできたのか！」と以外と簡単に前進できていて驚きました(*´ω｀*)ガイドさんはとってもフレンドリーで優しく、写真撮影も上手な方に担当していただけました！いくつか撮影スポットがあって色々な角度から自然に写真を撮ってくれていました！帰ってデータをいただいたら130枚もあり、とっても思い出に残りました！！疲れるかな、とか体力もつかな、と不安な方もいらっしゃるかと思いますが、途中で休みながら進めますし、座ったまま漕ぐことも出来ますのでよかったです。　
とにかくお天気も良く川平湾もとても綺麗で感動しました。

I participated in my first trip to Ishigaki Island with a friend! The day before the tour, there was heavy rain due to an approaching typhoon... On the day of the tour, the weather was unstable with rain followed by clouds, but I appreciate that the schedule was adjusted according to the weather.

In the morning, we went snorkeling at the Blue Cave, and in the afternoon, the Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) at Kabira Bay was changed to mangrove SUP due to strong winds. Both activities were incredibly enjoyable, and I was able to fully appreciate the ocean and mangroves! The snorkeling was so beautiful that it felt like there was no impact from the typhoon the day before, and I was moved to see so many fish in the clear underwater world. It was my first time doing SUP, but there were almost no waves or wind, allowing us to leisurely paddle through the beautiful mangroves while enjoying the scenery—it was the best!

Both snorkeling and SUP were conducted with great care, and the instructors provided a wealth of information about the caves, fish, and mangrove plants. I also really enjoyed the conversations with the two instructors.

For lunch, we had about 2.5 hours including showering, eating, and moving, which allowed us to take our time without feeling rushed. During the tour, they took many photos and sent all of them via LINE, so I was happy to have these fun memories captured in pictures.

I think this is the best tour to fully enjoy Ishigaki Island! I am grateful that it was held during this time while taking COVID-19 precautions. Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島旅行に友人と行き参加しました！
ツアー参加の前日に台風接近の影響で大雨・・・ツアー当日も雨のち曇りで天気が不安定な状態でしたが、天候に合わせツアースケジュールを変更して開催して頂きありがとうございました。
午前に青の洞窟でシュノーケリング、午後の川平湾SUPは強風の為マングローブSUPに変更して頂き、どちらもとても楽しく海とマングローブを満喫できました！前日の台風の影響がないのではないかというくらいシュノーケリングでは綺麗な海中でたくさんの魚も見る事ができ感動でした☆SUPも初めてでしたが、波も風もほぼなく景色を楽しみながらゆったりと綺麗なマングローブの中を進め最高でした！
シュノーケルもSUPもとても丁寧に対応し教えて下さり、更に洞窟や魚やマングローブの植物の情報も豊富でインストラクターのお2人との会話もとても楽しかったです☆
お昼はシャワーと食事と移動を含めて2.5時間ほど取ってもらえ、移動も食事も急がすゆっくりとできました！
ツアー中たくさん写真を撮って頂き、LINEで全て送って頂け、楽しい思い出が写真で残す事もでき嬉しかったです♡
石垣島を満喫できる最高のツアーだと思います！
コロナ対策をしながら、この時期に開催して頂いた事感謝しています。ありがとうございました！
