All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

All in all it was a brilliant activity and the people being responsible were typical Japanese- so they were polite but also really nice and they knew what they were doing. We had a brilliant time altogether. And unexpectedly saw dolphins on our way back! Thank you so much again!

The sea is beautiful, but there are very few photos. Since photos are available for free, it was a mistake not to bring my underwater camera. The staff was kind. It was helpful that transportation was included.

海が綺麗だけど、写真はめっちゃ少ないです。
写真が無料でいただけるから、自分の水中カメラを持って行かなかったのは失敗です。
スタッフは優しかったです。
迎送が含まれて助かりました。

I was captivated by the majestic nature of Kabira Bay without feeling the usual noise and stress of daily life. Standing on the SUP, the angle changed, allowing me to see the sea more beautifully from above, which was truly moving. Even though I was still in Japan, the atmosphere felt completely different; the sounds I heard were just the waves and the wind, and I realized I was experiencing a calmness that was the opposite of my usual feelings. I am deeply grateful for the nature of Ishigaki Island.

The Blue Cave was crowded with other people, but the laughter and joyful atmosphere made it not bothersome at all. I was able to observe clownfish and enjoy a luxurious time. The gaps in the coral felt like pathways in the sea, making swimming a lot of fun. Finally, I took a natural shower under the waterfall and had a great time, creating wonderful memories.

日頃の雑音やストレスを感じることなく川平湾の雄大な自然に魅了されました。
supに立つことで角度が変わり上から見渡せ一層海がきれいに見え、感動。
同じ日本でも全く違った時間が流れているので聞こえるのが波の音、風の音に変わっただけなのに普段とは真逆の穏やかな感情になっていることに気づき石垣島の自然に深く感謝。
青の洞窟は他の人たちでいっぱいになってはいましたが、笑い声や楽しい雰囲気だったので全然気にならずクマノミを観察したりして贅沢な時間を過ごせました。
サンゴの隙間が海の道のようになっていて泳いでて楽しかったです。
最後に滝つぼで自然のシャワーと休憩をし、いい思い出になりました。

I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, and I was told that even those who struggled with swimming lessons in school could join, so I participated (laughs). I was able to enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island very easily without having to carry anything.

The cave was filled with lots of coral, and the staff took pictures of me holding them. Canoeing in Kabira Bay was said to have the best ocean views in Ishigaki Island, and I paddled to my heart's content! At the waterfall basin, I could swim like in a pool and jumping in was surprisingly the most fun part!

青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて子供から参加でき学生時代プールの授業が苦手だった方でも楽しめますよと教えてもらい参加(笑)
手ぶらで行けてとても楽に石垣島の海を楽しめました。
洞窟にはサンゴがたくさんあって手に持った写真をスタッフ撮ってもらいました。
川平湾でのカヌークルージングは石垣島で最高といわれる海の景色の中で思いのままに漕ぎまくり！
滝つぼではプール感覚で泳げて飛び込んだりして意外とそれが一番たのしかった！

I had been looking forward to the tour since I heard that I could do stand-up paddleboarding at the most famous spot in Ishigaki Island, Kabira Bay. I usually enjoy running and am confident in my stamina, and since I also like surfing, I was able to stand up and ride quickly.

During snorkeling, there were many people from other tours, and I discovered different charms of Ishigaki Island that I hadn't known before, which made me very satisfied. I felt reluctant to leave, saying I wanted to stay here forever, and the guide kindly allowed me to stay just a little longer, letting me swim until the very last moment. Thank you! Finally, I was able to wash off the salt at the waterfall and received the tour photos, leaving me with nothing to complain about!

石垣島でいちばん有名な川平湾でサップができるとのことでツアー予約時から期待していました。
普段からランニングが趣味で体力には自信があり、サーフィンも好きなのですぐに立って乗れるようになれました。

シュノーケリングでは他のツアーの人たちもたくさんいて川平湾でサップしたときとは違う石垣島の知らなかった魅力を知ることができ満足。
帰るのが名残惜しく感じ、いつまでもここにいたいと言うと、もうちょっとだけいてもいいですよとガイドさんが融通を聞かせてくれて時間ギリギリまで泳がせてくれました。ありがとう！
最後に滝で潮を洗い落としツアーの写真をもらうことができ、何もいうことがありません！

Each group had a guide, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! The weather was also great, which made it even better. I want to participate again next year.

各グループごとにガイドさんがついてくださるため、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました！！天候にも恵まれ最高でした。来年も参加したいです。

It was really beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish ❤︎ I love snorkeling, and since it didn't take long to get there from Okinawa Main Island, I want to participate again.

本当に綺麗で魚いっぱい見れました❤︎シュノーケルが好きで沖縄本島からそんなに時間かからず行けたのでまた参加したいです。

We participated in the 7 AM snorkeling with four men. Since there were hardly any people in the water yet, the sea was crystal clear and in perfect condition! The instructor was super friendly, and we were able to relax and have an amazing time! I highly recommend early morning snorkeling!

朝7時のシュノーケリングに男4人で参加しました。まだ人がほとんど海に入っていなかったので、海の中は澄み渡っていて最高のコンディションでした！
インストラクターの方もすっごいフレンドリーでリラックスして最高に楽しめました！朝早いシュノーケリングはお勧めです！

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We had chance to see many nice places. The scenery was very nice at the place we had lunch.
The pineapple garden was really nice but we could have spent more time there. 40 minutes was not enough to explore the garden and do shopping. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a family for 25 minutes even though it stated that people who didn't arrive on time needed to go to the next destination by themselves.
Aquarium was good as well.

I thought the duration would be short at about two hours, but it was actually just right. Swimming surprisingly uses a lot of energy, and I tend to get sunburned too much, so I felt it was perfect. The guide was very interesting and kind, and they took a lot of photos, which helped create great memories! There were many fish like clownfish in the sea, and I enjoyed snorkeling.

所用時間は2時間ほどと短いかな？と思っていましたが、実際はちょうど良かったです。
泳ぐと意外と体力を使いますし、日焼けをしすぎてしまうのでちょうどいいと思いました。
案内してくれる方もとても面白く親切な方だったのと、たくさん写真を撮ってくれるのでいい思い出ができました！
海にはクマノミなどの魚がたくさんいて、シュノーケリングを楽しめます。

The cave turns blue because the white sand reflects sunlight from the seabed. The cave had almost no waves and was used as a practice spot for beginner snorkelers. They provide marine boots to prevent slipping and falling, as the cave is made of hard, sharp rocks. They kindly advised us to crouch down and place our hands on the rocks when entering the cave. They also helped pull up children who seemed to have difficulty exiting and guided us well. We swam not only in the cave but also at other snorkeling points, which were incredibly beautiful and filled with many fish! At Kabira Bay, they made various announcements to ensure the tour was safe.

洞窟内が青くなるのは白砂が日射しを海底から照らすから光るみたいです。
洞窟内はほとんど波がなくシュノーケル初心者の練習場所として使われていました。
洞窟は硬くて尖った岩でできているので、滑って転んだりしないようにマリンブーツを貸してくれます。
洞窟内に入るときはなるべく腰を下ろし手を岩場に付けてくださいと親切に教えてくれました。
出るときが難しそうなお子さんの手を掴み引き上げてくれ、誘導もちゃんとしていました。
洞窟内だけでなくその他のシュノーケルポイントでも泳いだのですが、そこがすごく綺麗でお魚が沢山いました！
川平湾では安全にツアーができるように色々とアナウンスしてくれました。

I had a one-on-one experience with a diver. They carefully taught me everything I was worried about regarding diving, which was really great.

During the dive, I felt secure knowing they were right behind me.

They took 60 photos for me, so I didn't even need to bring my GoPro.

The changing area and shower room were a bit limited, but I don't think it was a problem.

The diver was incredibly attentive, and the service was excellent.

マンツーマンでダイバーが付いてくれました。ダイビングで心配になることを全て丁寧に教えていただきすごくよかったです。

ダイビング中も後ろからついてくれているため、安心です。

写真も60枚もとっていただき、goproなど持って行かなくても良かったです。

脱衣所、シャワー室は少し少ないですが、
特に問題ないと思います。

ダイバーさんがとにかく丁寧でサービスも良かったです。

The blue sea, close to the color of the cave, had blue fish swimming, and the underwater scenery was beautiful. I kept my eyes wide open, chasing after the fish. After a lunch break, I tried SAP for the first time at Kabira Bay! I was constantly amazed by the sea mixed with green and blue. I could see the fish swimming clearly, and it felt great to glide over the coral. There were also people kayaking on another tour, making it a popular spot. I believe it can be enjoyed not only during the peak season but also in the off-season!

洞窟の水色に近い青い海には青い魚が泳いでいて、海中もきれいで、ずっと目を開きっぱなしで魚を追いかけていました。
ランチ休憩のあと、今度は川平湾でSAPに初挑戦！
緑と青の混じり合った海には感動しっぱなしでした。
魚が泳いでいるのがよく見えて、サンゴの上をスイスイ進むのが気持ちいいです。
別のツアーでカヌーに乗ってる人たちもいて人気の場所でした。
シーズンオンはもちろんですが、シーズンオフでも楽しめると思います！

I was skeptical about whether the blue cave in the photos actually existed until I saw it in person with my friend. After looking at various reviews, I made a reservation with the highly-rated Pipi. Inside the cave, Arai took photos for us, and we posed like sea lions for a commemorative shot. Although it wasn't exactly like the pictures, it was quite blue. I'm glad I went. We also got to see clownfish and created fun memories.

Canoeing at Kabira Bay was amazing; even though we didn't dive, there were many blue fish swimming around. Arai took a smiling photo of us standing side by side on the SUP in front of the rocks. I wanted to go to the edge, and when I asked, Arai happily obliged. The service was excellent, so I highly recommend it.

写真のような青い洞窟あるのか実際に見るまで友人と疑っていました。
口コミをいろいろ見て評判がいいピピさんを予約。
洞窟内では新井さんが写真を撮ってくれて友人とシーサのポーズで記念撮影。
写真と全く同じではなかったですがかなり青かったです。行ってよかったと思いました。
クマノミにも会えて、楽しい思い出を作れました。
川平湾でのカヌーは潜っていないのに青い魚がたくさんいて海に浮かび、岩の前では、2人並んでサップに立った写真を新井さんが笑顔で撮ってくれました。
端っこの方まで行きたかったのでお願いすると新井さんは快く引き受けてくれました。サービスが良かったのでオススメです。

- In addition to the Churaumi Aquarium, we visited four other locations, and since all participants happened to be Japanese, we were able to stick to the schedule and had plenty of time at each place.
- Our veteran bus guide sang beautiful island songs using a shamisen and Okinawan castanets in the quiet bus.
- Last time, I also used a rental car and visited similar places, but this time I didn't have to worry about finding parking, and we were able to enjoy all five locations with a good time allocation and at a relaxed pace.

・美ら海水族館のほか4箇所に寄ったが、偶々参加者全員日本人だった為、集合が時間厳守で其々の場所で余裕があった。
・ベテランバスガイドさんが静かな車内で、三味線や沖縄のカスタネットを使い綺麗な声で島人の唄などを唄ってくれた。
・前回もレンタカーを使い、同じような処を観光したが駐車場を探したりせずに済み、全5箇所の時間配分良くゆったりと堪能出来た。

I was captivated by the gradient of colors in the water at Kabira Bay. When the tide is high, the sandy beach disappears, and the sea looks beautiful and expansive, but the waves can be rough, so it might be a good idea to check in advance. I also felt fortunate to see the mangroves. It's a great option for those who are not very active, as you can easily engage in a full-body workout that's healthy. The nearby sea is calm and has fish, so I think it's also suitable for small children.

川平湾の海の色のグラデーションに惚れ惚れしました。
満潮になると砂浜がなくなり海が広くなりきれいですが、波が荒れてる場合があるので相談してみるといいかも。
マングローブも見ることができたので得した気分。
運動不足の方でも簡単に、全身を使った健康的な運動ができるのでおすすめ。
近くの海は穏やかで魚がいるので、小さいお子さんにもおすすめかなあと思いました。

Kawahirawan is just as beautiful as it looks in photos, and I approached it with maximum expectations. Although the sea is in a bay, it's spacious enough to move around freely on a SUP and enjoy the scenery. I was advised that the afternoon is the best time to visit the Blue Cave, so they adjusted the schedule accordingly. After listening to the snorkeling instructions, I was so moved when I put my face in the water that I couldn't even speak in the blue world. I was so absorbed in watching the fish that I almost bumped into other people, but the instructors kindly called out to me, so there were no troubles, and I was able to enjoy the tour. They provided transportation back to the hotel and took photos for free, which was a greatly appreciated service.

川平湾は写真でみたままの風景で、期待度マックスで臨めました。
海は湾になっていますが広いのでサップで自由に移動したり、景色を楽しめたりできます。
青の洞窟は僕が、行ったときは午後がオススメということで調整してくれました。
シュノーケルの説明を聞いたあと、顔を水につけると青の世界に声が出ないくらい感動しました。
終わるまでずっと魚を見るのに夢中だったので途中ほかのひとにぶつかりそうになりましたが、インストラクターの方々が優しく声をかけてくれたのでトラブルにならずにツアーを楽しめました。
ホテルまで送迎してくれて、写真も無料で撮ってくれるのでサービスは大変有り難いものでした。

Recently, my travel pattern at beach resorts has been to tackle various experiential optional activities first, and then do the classic sightseeing on the last day. For this reason, this regular sightseeing bus was a great choice. The guide's stories and songs were excellent, and we didn't miss any of the famous landmarks. For lunch, we had a set meal with Ishigaki beef hamburger at a café. We arrived at the airport around 1:30 as planned. At this price, I would give it a perfect score of 100 points.

最近のビーチリゾートでの旅行パターンは、
バンバンと体験型オプショナルをこなしてから、
最終日に定番観光をすることにしています。
このため、この定期観光バスは大正解でした。
ガイドさんの話・歌は上手いし、名所・旧跡は
全て外さず、昼食もCAFEで石垣牛？ハンバーグ
のセット。予定どおり1：30頃に空港着。
これでこの金額なら100点満点です。

The guide was thorough and provided a great service, showcasing Okinawan songs and dances. The course was well-organized, highlighting the key attractions and was definitely worth it.

ガイドも手抜きなく又、沖縄の唄や踊りを披露してくれサービス満点でした。
コースも見どころを上手くまとめていて値打ちあり。

We quickly arrived at the point and jumped straight into the sea!＼(^o^)／ The beautiful coral reef and various fish were so stunning that I was amazed…! The underwater world felt like a different realm, and I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle that was incredibly cute (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ I also got to ride the optional jet for the first time, and it was so much fun that I wanted to ride it forever! It was so fast that I was screaming the whole time (laughs). I will definitely participate again!

あっという間にポイントへついて
そのまま海にドボン！＼(^o^)／
初めての綺麗な珊瑚礁、いろんなお魚
とっても綺麗でびっくりしました…！
海の中は別世界だしたまたま会えたウミガメ
もとっても可愛かったです(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
オプションのジェットにも初めて乗せて頂いた
んですが楽しすぎて一生乗ってたかった〜！
速すぎてずっと叫んでました（笑）
また必ず参加させていただきます！

The ship had a slide and many other enjoyable features besides diving and snorkeling. I also thought the staff were very friendly, and it was impressive that they could communicate in multiple languages.

船に滑り台なとがついていて、ダイビングやシュノーケル以外にも楽しめる要素がたくさんあった。またスタッフの皆様もとても感じが良く、多言語で対応されているのがすごいと思った

I experienced snorkeling for the first time with a friend at the Blue Cave!
The entrance to the cave was wide open and incredibly blue, so Sugunuma-san took a commemorative photo for us!
In areas with waves, Sugunuma-san pulled me along with a float, so I didn't get swept away and didn't get tired at all!
We saw lots of blue fish and had a great time with my friend!
Stand-up paddleboarding was also so much fun; the water was so clear that we could see fish and coral, and we were able to take photos in various poses!

初めてのシュノーケルで、友人と2人で青の洞窟を体験！
洞窟の入り口はぽっかり開いてて、めちゃ青かったので、菅沼さんが記念撮影してくれた！
波がある場所は、菅沼さんが浮き輪で引っ張ってくれて流されない上に全然疲れなかった！
青い魚も沢山みれて、友人と盛り上がってました！
サップも楽しすぎて、魚もサンゴも見えるくらい透明で、いろんなポーズで写真を撮ってもらえました！

The instructor sensed my nervousness about participating alone and shared interesting stories about Ishigaki Island before the tour started. During the tour, they called me by my first name, which helped us gradually warm up to each other!

While snorkeling, they explained about the fish and the Blue Cave with a smile, taught me some snorkeling tips, and we took pictures together, which really brought us closer and allowed us to enjoy the tour with smiles.

During the stand-up paddleboarding, they taught me how to turn while standing and even jumped into the waterfall with me, which was a lot of fun! I would love to do this again if I have the chance.

インストラクターさんは一人で参加する僕の緊張を読み取ってくれて、ツアー開始前は、石垣島の面白い話や、ツアー中には下の名前で呼んでいただき、徐々に打ち解けられました！
シュノーケルの時は、笑顔で魚や、青の洞窟の説明、シュノーケルのコツを教えてくれて、一緒に写真を撮ったことで距離がぐっと縮まり、お互い笑顔でツアーができました。
サップは一緒に立ってターンの仕方を教えてくれて、滝つぼにも一緒に飛び込んでくれて楽しかったです！また機会があればお願いしたいです。

It was a wonderful tour that made me want to try scuba diving and snorkeling again if I have the chance.

We visited three points, and each one had high visibility; I could see not only the seabed at depths of over 10 meters but also the fish near the seabed. I believe the friendliness of the staff contributed to making the tour enjoyable.

One thing to keep in mind is to definitely take motion sickness medication. Depending on the weather, it can be quite bumpy.

また機会があれば，スクーバ・ダイビング，スノーケリングをしたいと思えるような素晴らしいツアーでした．

3つのポイントを回ったのですが，どのポイントも透明度が高く，10m以深の海底はおろか海底付近の魚も視認できました．
スタッフの方々のフレンドリーさもツアーを良いものにしてくれた要因だと思います．

気を付けるべきことは，酔い止めを必ず飲むことです．天候によりますが激しく揺れます．

I enjoyed the performance that the guide creatively put together. More than that, the casual conversation felt fresh to someone from outside the prefecture, and I felt like I was able to experience Okinawan culture, which was wonderful. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが工夫をこらしたパフォーマンスで楽しめました。それ以上に世間話が県外の小生には新鮮で沖縄の文化に触れた気がしてとっても良かったです。ありがとうございました。

The meeting place was hard to find. The bus didn't arrive until the last minute. The seats were reserved. The itinerary progressed almost on time, and the guide's instructions were good; the ride was enjoyable. It rained in the afternoon, so the weather wasn't favorable, but it was very good for bus travel. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity. Thank you for your assistance.

集合場所がわかりにくかった。バスはギリギリにならないと来なかった。席は指定席でした。ほぼ時間通りに行程が進み、ガイドさんの案内も良く、車中は楽しかったです。午後から雨で天候には恵まれませんでしたが、バス移動のため大変良かったです。また、機会があれば利用したいと思います。お世話になりました。

I heard that even those who are not good at swimming can participate, so I joined. They came to pick me up at the hotel, and I was surprised by how much the car shook on the unpaved gravel road, but it was fun. The shoes they lent me were clean and protected my ankles, preventing injuries from the coral. The wonderful Kobayashi-san, with a lovely smile, showed me easy walking paths and pointed out the clownfish's home. Inside the Blue Cave, there was a sandy beach with coral piled up. The guide, Kobayashi-san, explained that even if fish are nearby, they might be poisonous, so please do not touch them. At Kabira Bay, they took lots of pictures of me standing on the board. Kobayashi-san advised me not to touch jellyfish as it could be dangerous. Thank you, Kobayashi-san, for the wonderful memories! Wishing you happiness with her too! (laughs)

泳ぎが苦手でも参加できると聞き、参加しました。
ホテルまで迎えに来てくれて、舗装されていない入り口の砂利道でクルマが大きく揺れるのはびっくりしましたが、面白かったです。
貸してくれた靴は清潔でくるぶしまで守れるので、サンゴで足が傷つくのを防げました。
笑顔が素敵な小林さんが、歩きやすい場所を教えてくれて、クマノミのお家も教えてくれました。
青の洞窟内は、サンゴ礁の砂浜があって、拾われたサンゴが積み重なっていました。
ガイドの小林さんが、魚が近くにいても、毒を持った魚かもしれないので、触らないようにしてくださいと、レクチャーしてくれます。
川平湾では、ボードに立つ写真をいっぱい撮ってくれました。
小林さんが、クラゲに刺されたら危ないので触らないように促してくれました。
小林さん素敵な思い出をありがとう！彼女ともお幸せに！(笑)

Kawahirawan was so empty that I felt like I had it all to myself. It had been a year since I last did stand-up paddleboarding, but thanks to Matsuda-san's guidance, I regained my skills and ended up gliding smoothly, even overtaking Matsuda-san (laughs). The last time I tried, I didn't manage to stand on the board, so this time I practiced with the goal of paddling while standing. I got used to it and was able to stand, which made the scenery look different and it was so much fun! During the blue cave snorkeling, I was looking forward to swimming with Okinawa's tropical fish, and I was satisfied that it became a reality! At Arakawa Falls, I got so into it that I kept jumping into the plunge pool while straddling the rope! It was shaded and cool! Next time, I plan to invite my friends to join!

川平湾は他に人がいなかったので、貸し切り感覚で楽しめました。サップは1年ぶりでしたが、案内してくれた松田さんのおかげでかんを取り戻せて、スイスイ進んでしまい、松田さんを追い抜いてしまいました(笑)。以前やったときはボードに立たずに終わってしまって心残りだったので、今回は立って漕ぐことを目標に練習しました。慣れてきて立てるようになり、景色が違って見え、楽しかったです！青の洞窟シュノーケリングでは、沖縄の熱帯魚と泳ぐのが楽しみで、実現できたので満足です！荒川の滝では、ロープにまたがって滝つぼに何度も飛び込むほどハマりました！木陰になっていて、涼しかったです！今度は友人を誘って参加しようと思います！

The instructor made an effort to alleviate the participants' anxieties, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout the tour. At Kabira Bay for stand-up paddleboarding, they took us to a safe location where we could grasp the concept on land before actually paddling on the sea. During the Blue Cave snorkeling, the instructor led those who were not confident swimmers and checked in with questions like, "Are you okay? Are you scared?" This ensured that all participants could enjoy the tour safely.

インストラクターさんはツアーに参加した人たちの不安を取り除く説明を心がけていて、ツアー中は参加者全員が和気あいあいとした空気に包まれていました。川平湾supでは、安全な場所に連れて行ってくださり、陸の上でイメージを掴んでから、実際に海の上でsupに乗ることができます。青の洞窟シュノーケリングでは、泳ぎが得意でない参加者の方をリードしてくれたり、大丈夫ですか？怖くないですか？と声をかけてくれるので、参加者全員が無事にツアーを楽しむことができました。

I had heard that the weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, so I was worried on the day of the tour, but fortunately, it was sunny. During the stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, the wind was a bit strong, but thanks to the detailed explanations and energetic tone of our guide, Mr. Suganuma, I was able to enjoy myself. The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was overwhelming with more fish than I had imagined, and I was moved by the beauty of Ishigaki Island's nature, which I experienced with all my senses.

石垣島は天気が変わりやすいと聞いたことがあったので、ツアー当日は心配でしたが、運良く晴れました。川平湾サップの時は風が少し強かったですが、担当の菅沼さんの詳しい説明と元気な口調のおかげで、楽しい気分で過ごせました。青の洞窟シュノーケリングでは想像以上の魚の数に圧倒され、石垣島の自然の美しさを全身で体験でき、感動しました。
