All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

In the morning, I went snorkeling at Ohsaki Beach, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. The snorkeling was originally planned to take place at the Phantom Island, but due to bad weather, it was changed to Ohsaki Beach. I received the notification about the change the day before the tour, and since I didn't know what Ohsaki Beach was like, I was worried about whether I would enjoy it. However, the water was very clear, and I was able to see various fish, including clownfish, which was wonderful.

I was also anxious about snorkeling because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but the tour guide helped me and other participants who were not confident swimmers by pulling us along while we held onto a float. This allowed me to fully enjoy the underwater scenery! (The stand-up paddleboarding location was shallow, so it was fine even for those who are not good at swimming.)

In addition to photos, the tour guide dove down to capture videos of the fish we saw, which became great memories. (Some participants brought their own cameras.)

The tour guides were different in the morning and afternoon, but they carefully explained how to put on and use the equipment, as well as safety precautions. They also kept an eye on the participants' progress, so I felt secure joining the tour. They took many great photos, and that evening, they sent the photos and videos via LINE. (We exchange LINE contacts with each tour guide after the tour.)

For those participating in both the morning and afternoon tours, please note that after the morning tour, there will be a break at your accommodation or the remote island terminal. If your accommodation is far away and you don't have time to change from your swimsuit to clothes, it might be a good idea to bring some clothes for lunch.

During the transfer to the tour locations, the guides also share information about sightseeing spots and recommendations in Ishigaki Island, which enhances the experience. Personally, I found snorkeling to be quite physically demanding, so I think it was good that snorkeling was in the morning and stand-up paddleboarding in the afternoon. Stand-up paddleboarding was enjoyable for beginners as well, as you can move forward by using the wind and the paddle effectively, and there was no risk of sinking.

I had such a fulfilling experience that I would love to use the tour again if I have the opportunity! Thank you very much!

午前は大崎ビーチでシュノーケリング、午後は川平湾でサップをしました。
シュノーケリングは、当初幻の島での実施予定でしたが悪天候のため大崎ビーチでの実施に変更になりました。シュノーケリング場所の変更連絡はツアー前日にあり、大崎ビーチがどのような場所か知らなかったので楽しめるか不安でしたが、海の透明度が高く、クマノミ含む色々な魚を見ることができ、とても良かったです。
また、私は泳ぎに自信がなかったのでシュノーケリングが楽しめるか不安だったのですが、ツアーガイドさんが浮き輪に掴まった私と他に泳ぎに自信がない参加者を終始引っ張って泳いでくださったので、海の中を存分に見て楽しむことができました！(サップ場所は、浅かったので泳ぎが苦手でも問題ないです)
写真に加えて、参加者がその場で見た魚の動画をツアーガイドさんが潜って撮ってくださるのも良い思い出になりました。(自分でカメラを持ち込んでる参加者もいました)

ツアーガイドさんは午前と午後で違う方でしたが、装備の付け方や使い方、注意点を丁寧に教えてくださり、参加者の進捗状況もきちんと見ているので、安心して参加できます。映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、その日の夕方にはLINEで写真と動画を送ってくださります。(ツアー終了後に各ツアーガイドさんとLINE交換します)
午前と午後のツアーに参加される方は、午前のツアーが終わったら送迎可能な宿泊先か離島ターミナルで一度解散になるので、宿泊先が遠く水着から服に着替える時間がない場合はお昼ご飯を食べに行けるよう服を持って行った方がいいのかなと思います。
ツアー先へ移動する道中も石垣島の観光スポットやおすすめ、豆知識を話してくださるのでより石垣島の魅力を知れるのもおすすめです。
個人的にシュノーケリングはとても体力を使ったので、午前がシュノーケリング、午後がサップの順番でよかったと思いました。サップは風の力やオールを上手く使えば進み、沈むこともなかったので初心者でも問題なく楽しめます。
また、機会があればツアーを利用したいと思うくらい、満喫できました！
ありがとうございました！

I was able to cover the main tourist spots compactly and enjoy a full day. I thought it was a great experience for my first trip to Okinawa. The time allocation was just right, and I was able to spend the day without feeling rushed. I boarded in Naha, but there were several designated pick-up and drop-off locations (hotels) along the way, and we got off at a hotel in between. It was helpful that we could get around without renting a car. Additionally, the guide's explanations were detailed, and I gained a lot of interesting tidbits. Thank you very much.

主要な観光地をコンパクトに網羅して、1日楽しむことが出来ました。初めての沖縄旅行にとても良いと思いました。時間配分も適度で、時間に追われることなく過ごせました。那覇から乗車しましたが、途中いくつか乗降設定場所（ホテル）があり、我が家は途中のホテルで下車しました。レンタカーを借りなくても移動でき、助かりました。またガイドさんの説明が詳しく、豆知識が増えました。ありがとうございました。

I had a fulfilling snorkeling experience! I saw a turtle! The sea was beautiful! No problems at all. The boat was great too! They even took photos for me!

充実したシュノーケルができたよ！カメ見れたし！海が綺麗だった！なんの問題もなし。船もよし！写真もとってくれた♪

I appreciated that the tour took me to places I wanted to visit. It was great to see both new locations and places I had been to in the past after a long time, especially with such nice weather. The male tour guide had a very kind way of speaking and remained calm no matter what happened, which left a very good impression. More than half of the tour participants were from overseas, and as mentioned in other reviews, some people were late returning to the meeting point, casually laughing and walking back to the bus, and even brought soft serve ice cream back despite the no food or drink rule on the bus. I think if someone is easily irritated by such laxity with time, a sightseeing tour might not be suitable for them. Personally, I enjoyed the tour until the end thanks to the tour guide's kind support, which helped cover for those issues. I would like to participate in other tours as well.

ツアーなら行きたい場所に連れて行ってもらえるのが良かった。初めての場所や昔行った事のある場所も久々に観に行けて天気もよくて楽しかったです。添乗員の男性もとても優しい話し方で何があっても落ち着いた対応でとても好印象でした。ツアー客の半分以上は海外の方でしたが、他の口コミにもありましたがやはり集合時間に帰ってこないで普通に笑って歩いてバスに戻ってきていて車内での飲食不可でもソフトクリーム持って帰ってきたりと時間にルーズな事にいちいちイラついてしまう人には観光ツアーは不向きかと思いました。個人的にはそれをカバーしてくれるだけと添乗員さんの優しい対応があったので最後まで楽しめました。また他のツアーにも参加してみたいです

Due to the approaching typhoon, the waves were somewhat high, but the staff ensured our safety, allowing us to go out to sea with peace of mind. Additionally, the conversations with the staff while we were out at sea were enjoyable and created great memories.

台風が近付いていたせいもあり多少、波が高かったのですがスタッフの方が安全に対応していただけたので安心して海に出る事ができました。また海に出てからのスタッフの会話も楽しく良い思い出になりました。

I was able to view rare corals and beautiful fish from the boat. Fortunately, I also got to see a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful experience.

The captain has a perfect grasp of where everything is, and his explanations are fluent, making the time fly by. I would definitely like to board again.

珍しいサンゴやきれいな魚たちをボートから眺めることができました。
運良くウミガメも見ることができて素晴らしい体験になりました。

船長さんがどこになにがあるか完璧に把握されているので、
解説も流暢で時間があっという間に感じます。
またぜひ乗船してみたいです。

I started snorkeling at the last possible age and became captivated by it, so I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave this time. I got lost using the navigation from the car address. It's better to follow the shop's directions.

This time, my guide, T, was from the same hometown, and she was cute and very nice. Thanks to her explanations, I made wonderful and fun memories. Plus, since I participated alone, I enjoyed the luxury of a one-on-one experience. The colors of the Blue Cave are something you can't replicate with paint, and I saw various colors depending on the location and angle. It was beautiful.

I also had fun interacting with the fish while feeding them (laughs). The sea is close by, and there are showers and lockers for valuables. I definitely want to go again. Thank you very much!

シュノーケル出来る年齢もギリギリになってから始めて、魅力にハマって今回青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて参加しました。
車の住所からのナビで行くと迷ってしまった。お店の言う通りに行くのが良い。
今回ガイドのTさんが同郷で、可愛くてとても良い人で、彼女の説明で楽しく素敵な思い出が出来ました。そのうえ1人で参加だからマンツーマンと贅沢な待遇。青の洞窟は絵の具では出せない色で、場所や向きで色んな色も見れました。綺麗やったなぁ。
魚とも餌付け(笑)で戯れたりと、楽しかったです。海にも近いし、シャワーや貴重品ロッカーもあります。絶対にまた行きたいと思ってます。またよろしくお願いいたします。

I was originally scheduled to participate in a SUP tour at Kabira Bay, but due to the typhoon, I switched to a mangrove canoe tour. I was worried about whether the tour would take place since heavy rain was initially forecasted, but thankfully it held up, and the tour went ahead without any issues. The entire experience lasted just under three hours, and although the actual activity felt a bit short at an hour and a half, once I participated, I was overwhelmed by the richness of the content and the vastness of nature. It was a truly satisfying hour and a half!

I had never done canoeing before and felt anxious, but I was able to do much better than I expected, even as a beginner! It was an extraordinary experience that I couldn't have in my daily life. Thank you very much!

本来は川平湾のsupツアーに参加する予定でしたが、台風の影響でマングローブのカヌーツアーに変更しました。当初は大雨の予定でツアーが実施されるのか心配でしたがなんとか持ち堪え、無事決行されました。全体で3時間弱、体験自体は1時間半と少し短めなツアーに感じていましたが、いざ参加してみると内容の濃さと広大な自然に圧倒され、大満足の1時間半でした！
カヌー自体はやったことがなく、不安に感じていましたが、初心者でも思っていたよりうまくできました！日常では体験できることのない非日常な時間でした。ありがとうございました！

I went on a day trip to Ishigaki Island ✌
The tour we had planned was canceled on the day of, but thank you for accommodating us at such short notice.
Since it was our first experience with SUP, we were quite nervous. While others in the tour were standing and paddling, we were sitting and paddling the whole time, but we were able to enjoy it at our own pace.
The view of Kabira Bay while paddling was truly moving! The emerald green, crystal-clear Kabira Bay was amazing.
The guide mentioned, "This might be the best Kabira Bay of the year," and I really felt glad to have joined this tour!
Also, after the tour, we didn't have any specific plans and were just going to head to the airport, but the guide suggested that since we came all the way to Ishigaki, we should eat Ishigaki beef before leaving! I thought it might be difficult due to time constraints, but the guide recommended a yakiniku restaurant and dropped us off right in front of it, so we were able to enjoy Ishigaki beef before heading back.
Thank you for everything. It turned out to be the best day trip to Ishigaki Island!

日帰りで石垣島に✌
予定していたツアーが中止になり当日、、ほぼ直前の予約だったのですが快く対応して頂きありがとうございました
SUP初体験の2人だったので、、ビビりまくり、、一緒のツアーに参加した方は立って漕いでいる中私達はずっと座って漕いでいましたが私達のペースで楽しむ事が出来ました
SUPを漕ぎながら見る川平湾の景色はもう感動！！
エメラルドグリーンの透き通った川平湾は素晴らしかったです。
ガイドさんが「今年1の川平湾かもしれんな〜」と言われててこのツアーに参加して本当に良かった！！と思いました。
また、ツアー後特に予定を立てておらず空港に行く予定だったのですがせっかく石垣島来たなら石垣牛を食べて帰り！と言って下さったのですが、、時間がギリギリで難しいかもしれないな〜と思っていたのですが、ガイドさんオススメの焼肉屋を紹介して頂きお店の前で降ろして下さったので締めに石垣牛を食べて帰ることが出来ました‍♀️
何から何までありがとうございました。
最高の日帰り石垣島になりました

On October 28th (Tuesday) at 9 AM, we went snorkeling at the Blue Cave. It was mentioned that the Blue Cave might close later due to the typhoon's impact. However, it was a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and after the previous group left, we had the place to ourselves. My sister was delighted when a blue fish bit her while we were feeding the fish. This trip was a reward for my sister after taking care of our mother. It was her first time snorkeling, and we had a wonderful time playing with the fish and enjoying the stunning scenery, which became a treasured memory. Thank you to our very kind and fun guide.

10/28(火)9時
青の洞窟シュノーケル
当日　この後の時間からは青の洞窟閉鎖になるかも？台風の影響？とのことでしたらが
とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。青の洞窟はとても綺麗で前の団体さんが出てからは私たちの貸切で楽しめました。魚の餌やりでは青い魚に噛まれたと姉が嬉しそうにしてましたよ
母の介護終えた姉とのご褒美旅行でした。シュノーケル初の姉と最高の景色　魚さんたちと戯れ童心に返って楽しんだ時間は宝物になりました。
とても親切で楽しいガイドありがとうございました。

I participated in a morning mangrove kayak tour and an afternoon snorkeling tour. It was helpful that they accepted reservations even the night before.

During the morning mangrove kayak tour, we received a briefing on how to paddle, making it enjoyable even for beginners. I recommend wearing a swimsuit and clothes that can get dirty, as you surprisingly get wet from the river water.

The afternoon Blue Cave tour was changed to snorkeling at Ohsaki due to poor sea conditions from the typhoon. Although there was a change, the snorkeling time was longer, and I actually enjoyed it more. There were considerations for those who are not good at swimming, so I felt safe participating.

Additionally, the instructor shared recommendations for restaurants and information about Ishigaki Island during the car ride, making for a fun time! Thank you very much.

午前マングローブカヤック、午後シュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。前日夜の予約でも受付可能だったので助かりました。
午前のマングローブカヤックでは、最初に漕ぎ方のレクチャーがあり、初心者でも楽しむことができました。意外に川の水で濡れるので水着＋汚れてもいい服装をおすすめします。
午後の青の洞窟ツアーは台風影響で海の状態が良くないため、大崎でのシュノーケルへ変更となりました。
変更にはなりましたが、シュノーケルの時間が長く、むしろ楽しむことができたと思います。泳ぎが苦手な方への配慮もあり安心して参加できました。
また、インストラクターの方は移動中車内てもオススメのお店や、石垣島について紹介してくださり楽しい時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました。

On the 28th, the Churaumi Aquarium had the best weather along with Manzamo in Onna Village, especially compared to the rain today, the 29th.

28日のちゅらうみ海洋水族館は、恩納村の万座毛ともども天気は最高でした、今日29日の雨に比べればですか。

I reserved a canoe at Kabira Bay, but I received a notification the day before that due to strong winds, it would be changed to mangrove canoeing. I was informed that I could cancel, but since I was already there, I decided to experience the mangrove canoeing.

The meeting point's parking lot was a bit hard to find as there were no signs, so I arrived a little late, but the guide was very kind and provided smooth assistance. Once we entered the river, the guide taught us various things about the mangroves as we progressed, and I felt that they were always considerate and focused on safety, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

One personal miscalculation was that I thought I wouldn't get wet as long as I didn't fall from the canoe, but I ended up getting my legs soaked when entering the river, and the canoe was wet from the start, so I got wet even without falling. I was advised to wear clothes that could get wet, so I brought a change of clothes, and it wasn't a problem, but I wish I had participated in a swimsuit with a rash guard instead of regular sportswear.

Although it wasn't at Kabira Bay, I enjoyed it thoroughly and actually think it was better to be in the mangroves. Thank you very much.

川平湾カヌーを予約しましたが、前日に風が強い予報とのことで、マングローブに変更との連絡をいただきました。キャンセルもできると案内いただきましたが、せっかくなのでマングローブカヌーを体験しました。
集合場所の駐車場が看板などもないため分かりにくく、到着が少し遅れてしまいましたが、ガイドさんも親切な方で、スムーズに案内いただきました。
川に入ってからも、色々とマングローブについてを教えていただきながら進み、終始親切で安全にも配慮されていると感じ、安心して体験できました。
個人的に誤算だったのは、カヌーから落ちなければ濡れないと思っていましたが、川に入る際に膝下まで水に浸かるのと、はじめからカヌーの中が濡れていていたので、落ちなくても濡れたという点です。濡れてもいい服で参加するようにと案内があったので着替えも持参しており、問題はありませんでしたが、普通のスポーツウェアではなく、水着にラッシュガードなどで参加すればよかったと思いました。
川平湾ではなくなってしまいましたが、十分に楽しめましたし、寧ろマングローブで良かったのではと思っています。
ありがとうございました。

I participated on the day of travel from Ishigaki Island to Okinawa.
Before the flight, I was able to take a tour around Ishigaki Island.
I had lunch at a lovely place with a great view from the terrace.
You can also make a stop at Ishigaki Airport along the way.
You can check in an L-sized suitcase on the bus.
The guide was someone who was born and raised in Ishigaki Island, and they had a lot of interesting tidbits to share, giving off a warm Okinawan vibe.
There were many solo participants, and we exchanged information about other tours we had joined, which made me excited about what I want to experience next time I visit Ishigaki Island.

石垣島から沖縄への移動日に参加しました。
フライト前に石垣島を1周でき。
テラスからの眺めが素敵な場所でランチもでき。
石垣島空港で途中下車も出来ます。
Lサイズのスーツケースもバスに預けられます。
ガイドさんは生まれも育ちも石垣島というプチ情報も多い方で、ホンワカ沖縄時間を感じる人柄でした♪
1人参加の方も多く、他にどんなツアーに参加したか情報交換もでき、次に石垣島に行った時に経験したいことが増えました。

Our guide provided a very safe and wonderful experience on Kabira Bay. He made sure we were comfortable and guided us out of the strong wind. I only understand a little Japanese and he made sure I felt included and was explaining in both English and Japanese. He even shared Ishigaki trivia and pointed out his favorite spots along the way. Highly recommend for visitors to experience the SUP tour on Kabira Bay if you are solo or in a group.

I had a very fulfilling time.
I was very satisfied to see so many beautiful fish.
The guide, Yume, who is a cute girl, was the best! ★
Thank you for checking carefully to see if I was keeping up.
When I come back to Iriomote Island, I look forward to your guidance again. I will cherish the wonderful photos as well. ★

とっても充実した時間になりました。
キレイな魚がいっぱい見れて大満足です。
可愛い女子のユメちゃんのガイドは最高でした★
きちんと付いてこれてるか、細かく確認下さりありがとうございました。
また、西表島に来た時はまた、宜しくお願いいたします。素敵なお写真も 。大切にします★

The app coupons are very convenient even during busy times. It was great to be able to choose two standard spots.

You can select tickets based on the weather, and the gourmet coupons made me feel like I was getting a good deal. I chose a hamburger, and the beef patty was delicious, different from fast food! I also enjoyed gelato at a shop next to the DMM Aquarium.

I was really relaxed with the aquarium, shopping at the mall, and enjoying gelato.

However, I didn't use the rental car discount coupon, and I was disappointed with the in-store gift, which was different from the information provided. I intended to shop, but I think those who will use it in the future might want to keep their expectations low.

混雑時にもアプリクーポンならとっても便利です。定番スポットを２カ所選べるのも良かったです。

天候に応じてチケットを選べるし、グルメクーポンもお得気分になりました。私はハンバーガーを選びました。ファストフード店とは違ったビーフパテも美味しかったです！また、ジェラートはDMMの水族館の隣にあるショップでいただきました。
水族館、ショッピングモールでお買い物、そしてジェラートで癒されとっても癒されました。

ただ、割引クーポンのレンタカーは使いませんでしたが、来店プレゼントは文字情報とは違ってガッカリしました。買い物するつもりで行ったのですが、これから利用される方は、期待はなさらない方が良いのかなぁと思いました。

I didn't have the confidence to drive a car on my own, so I joined this tour where I could be taken around to various places in one day. Although it takes up a whole day, I was satisfied because I was able to cover a lot of points in Okinawa little by little. I think it's perfect for a first-time visit to Okinawa.

自力で車を運転する自信がなかったので、1日で色々連れて行ってもらえるこちらのツアーに参加しました。丸1日は拘束されるけれど、少しずつ沖縄のポイント網羅できたので満足です。初めての沖縄にはもってこいだと思いました。

The pickup location was right after receiving luggage at Naha Airport, making it easy to collect the tickets smoothly. It's also great that you can enter Churaumi Aquarium without waiting in line at the ticket machine. I recommend this for those who want to arrive at the ticket pickup area during the reception hours at Naha Airport and visit Churaumi Aquarium at a lower cost.

受け取り場所は、那覇空港で荷物を受け取ってすぐのところでスムーズにチケットを受け取ることができました。
美ら海水族館でも券売機に並ばず入場できるので良いです。
那覇空港利用でチケット受け取り場の受付時間内に着き、安く美ら海水族館に行きたい人にはおすすめです。

Since there were many people, I made a reservation in advance here.

The parking lot was right in front of the reception, so it was easy to find.

Once I arrived at the reception, I was guided smoothly, and it was close to the boarding area, so I felt it was a good choice to use this service.

I think there was probably a discount compared to buying normally at the reception.

The underwater view from the glass-bottom boat was beautiful. During the cruise, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle and a rainbow.

人数が多かったのでこちらで事前に予約しました。

駐車場も受付の目の前なので分かりやすかったです。

受付に着いてからスムーズに案内していただき、乗り場までも近いので利用してよかったと思いました。

おそらく受付で普通に買うより割引が効いていたのかなと。

グラスボートで見る海の中もキレイでした。
遊覧中、ウミガメと虹が見れたのでラッキーでした。

On the final day of my solo trip to Ishigaki Island, I took a sightseeing bus tour around the island. It's convenient because you can get off at the airport for your return journey.

At Kabira Bay, you can choose between a glass-bottom boat (optional 1,000 yen) or visiting the observation deck, and I opted for the glass-bottom boat. I was a bit worried because the sea was a little rough, but I was able to see many fish. The boat captain was a pro, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. It's a shame I couldn't take any photos.

The lunch at the restaurant was pre-prepared, so it was a bit cold, but it was delicious. I was also satisfied to hear the bus guide's singing.

石垣島一人旅の最終日は、石垣島一周定期観光バスツアーです。こちらは空港で降りれますので、帰路は便利です。
川平湾では、グラスボート(オプション1,000円)か展望台などの見学から選べるのですが、グラスボートを選びました。海が少し荒れていて心配でしたが、多くの魚を見ることができました。船頭さんもプロで、なんとウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。写真を撮れなかったことが残念。
レストランのランチは、事前に用意されているので少しさも冷めていましが美味しかったです。
バスガイドさんの歌も聴けて満足でした。

I participated without high expectations due to the heavy rain forecast from the previous day. Since it’s a famous tourist spot, there were many inbound visitors, creating an atmosphere that felt almost like traveling abroad, even on the bus.

I thought there might be some changes due to the bad weather, but thankfully, we were able to visit all the planned attractions as scheduled. The Churaumi Aquarium was bustling with a large number of tourists despite the rain.

I had heard that the blue sea of Kouri Island and the single road were wonderful, so it was disappointing to experience heavy rain. However, it was a relief that they made arrangements so we could see well from the bus.

At Manzamo, the rain lightened up, allowing us to take our time for photos. The long drive of nearly 12 hours was impressive, and the driver (a female driver from the Cerulean Blue Bus) showed no signs of fatigue. I made sure to express my gratitude on the way back.

前日から大雨の天気予報で期待せずに参加しました。有名な観光地なのでインバウンド客も多く、車中でもまるで海外旅行？と思うくらいの雰囲気でした。
悪天候で一部変更もありかな？と思っていましたが、お蔭様でどこも予定通りに観光できました。「美ら海水族館」は、雨にも関らず大変大勢の観光客で賑わっていました。
古利島の海のブルーと一本道が素晴らしいと聞いていただけに、大雨で残念でした。車中からもよく見えるように配慮してくださったのが救いでした。
万座毛では雨の小降りになり、ゆっくり写真撮影などもできました。
ほぼ12時間ほどの長い運転にドライバーさん（セルリアンブルーバスの女性運転手）が、疲れも見せない印象が良かったです。帰りには、キッチリお礼を申しました。

I made a last-minute reservation the night before, but they contacted me and provided assistance. It was drizzling a bit, but the weather cleared up, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing canoe experience! The photos they took were also beautiful!

前日夜に急遽予約しましたが、連絡くださり対応していただきました。小雨も降っていましたが、晴れてきてゆったりカヌーを楽しむことができました！
撮っていただいた写真もきれかったです！

I was brought to Ishigaki by my son and his wife just before turning 60. Our original plans had to change due to a typhoon, but I really wanted to do the mangrove kayaking, so I made a last-minute reservation the day before. Despite the unfortunate weather, I had a very enjoyable time. We were probably the oldest couple among the participants that day, but we didn't have any issues; in fact, there was even a mishap that left us wetter than anyone else, which became a great memory. I'm glad we were able to take a lot of photos. Since we couldn't go snorkeling and finished early, we went to the restaurant recommended by our instructor for both lunch and dinner. The food there was also very delicious, and we had a fulfilling day in Ishigaki, despite the approaching typhoon. Thank you very much.

60歳を目前にして息子夫婦に石垣に連れてきてもらいました。
元々の予定は台風により変更せざるを得ませんでしたが、マングローブカヤックはどうしてもやりたかったので、前日に急遽こちらを予約しました。
生憎の天気でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
恐らく当日の参加者の中で一番の年長者夫婦でしたが、何も困ることはなく、むしろ誰よりも濡れてしまうようなハプニングもあり、いい思い出になりました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただけてよかったです。
シュノーケルができず早く終わったので、インストラクターさんにおすすめしていただいたご飯屋さんに昼も夜も食べにいきました。そちらもとても美味しく、台風が近づいているとは思えないほど充実した石垣での1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

A typhoon was approaching, so I had to change my original plans and made a last-minute reservation here the day before. Due to the typhoon, we could only do kayaking instead of snorkeling and SUP, but I was just happy to be able to do at least one activity!

It was my first time kayaking, but the guidance was thorough, so I didn't have any trouble. The explanations about the mangroves (types of mangroves, their characteristics, and the differences in root shapes) were very interesting. We also talked throughout the tour about recommended sightseeing spots in Ishigaki and good places to eat, which made it a lot of fun.

Even though we were on the tour in the rain, it didn't bother me since we were already wet. The mangrove forest felt even more like a hidden gem, and it was a rare experience to be out in the rain as an adult.

If I come to Ishigaki again, I think I will request activities! Thank you for the enjoyable time!

台風が接近しており元々の予定を変更せざるを得ず、前日に急遽こちらを予約しました。
台風のため、シュノーケルとSUPはできずカヤックだけとなりましたが、１つでもできただけ嬉しかったです！
初めてのカヤックでしたが、丁寧に案内していただいたので困ることもなく、マングローブについての説明(ヒルギの種類、特徴、根っこの形の違いなど)は非常に興味深く、他にも石垣観光のおすすめスポット、おすすめのご飯屋さんなどについて、終始お話ししながらのツアーでとても楽しめました。
雨に打たれながらのツアーでしたが、そもそも濡れているのでそれも気にならず、マングローブの森は秘境感が増して楽しかったですし、大人になってから雨に打たれることもなかなかないので貴重な経験でした。
また石垣にきたらアクティビティお願いすると思います！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

A typhoon was approaching, and the originally scheduled activity was canceled, so I participated in a different activity. I was a bit worried about whether I could participate without any issues since I couldn't take the call the day before, but I received a call first thing in the morning, and they were flexible in accommodating the change of activity.

On the day of the activity, I participated in kayaking in the mangroves. They taught us how to paddle carefully, and even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy it. They provided a lot of explanations about the plants in the mangroves, and thanks to the guide's stories, I was able to enjoy the activity even more.

During the transfer, they talked about recommended shops and sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island, which made my trip fulfilling even after the activity ended that night and the following day. I would love to join this tour again when I visit next time!

台風が接近しておりもともと参加予定であったアクティビティが催行不可であったため、アクティビティを変更しての参加でした。前日の電話を取れず問題なく参加できるか少々心配していましたが、朝一番でお電話をいただき、アクティビティの変更に柔軟にも対応していただけました。
当日はマングローブでのカヤックに参加しました。カヤックの漕ぎ方から丁寧に教えてくださり、初心者でも楽しむことができました。マングローブにある植物等の説明もたくさんしてくださり、ガイドさんのお話のおかげでよりアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
移動中は石垣島のおすすめのお店や観光地のことをたく話してくださり、アクティビティが終わった夜や翌日までも充実した旅にすることができました。
次に訪問した際にも、またこちらのツアーに参加させていただきたいです！

I was able to enjoy a lot of tours and even had ice cream, making for a wonderful family trip to Okinawa after a long time! It felt like a tour in Taiwan, but it was easy to use even for Japanese people!

たくさんのツアーが選べて、アイスも食べられたりなど、久々の家族との沖縄を満喫できました！台湾のツアーみたいですが日本人でも普通にしっかり使えました！

Due to the impact of the typhoon, we ended up exploring the mangroves by canoe instead of the SUP experience, which was disappointing at first... However, the guide shared fun trivia and took a lot of great photos, making it a very enjoyable day. Thank you! ♪
The paddling was easy, but maneuvering was quite challenging... I bumped into other participants several times, but that became a fun memory as well. ✨
On the way back, you can use a simple shower, so it's essential to bring a change of clothes, a towel, and sandals! Also, the pants will get soaked and the top will get wet to some extent, so I think preparation is necessary.

台風の影響もあり、sup体験からカヌーでマングローブ散策になってしまい、残念と思ってました…
しかし、案内してくれた方の楽しい雑学と写真をたくさん撮っていただきとても楽しい一日になりました。ありがとうございました♪
乗り方は簡単でしたが、なかなか操作が難しく…参加者の方と何度もぶつかりましたが、それも楽しい思い出です✨
帰りは、簡易シャワーを使えるので着替えとタオル、そしてサンダル必須です！！
また、下のズボンはびちゃびちゃで上もある程度濡れるので準備は必要かと思います。

The wind was strong, and the ferry from Uehara Port was canceled, but I received a phone call the day before with a thorough explanation. They came to pick me up at Ohara Port.

The tour was flexible, and we ended up sightseeing at Yufu Island in the morning. There were few people in the morning, allowing for a relaxed visit to Yufu Island, and riding the water buffalo was very soothing.

Initially, we had planned to do stand-up paddleboarding, but due to the wind, we switched to canoeing. Canoeing through the mangroves was a very valuable experience. I felt connected to nature and rejuvenated. Shoutarou's explanations were easy to understand and enjoyable!

They provided not only activities but also explanations about the island, which were very clear, making it a tour I could participate in with peace of mind. I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

風が強く、上原港のフェリーが欠航となりましたが、前日にお電話をいただいて、丁寧に説明くださいました。大原港まで迎えに来ていただきました。
ツアーも臨機応変に対応してくれて、午前中に由布島観光になりました。朝は人が少なく、ゆったりと由布島観光ができ、水牛に乗ってとても癒されました。
当初はSUPの予定でしたが、風の影響でカヌーに変更となりました。マングローブの間をカヌーで進むのはとても貴重な経験になりました。自然を感じて癒されました。しょうたろうさんの説明が分かりやすく楽しかったです！
アクティビティはもちろん、島の説明などもしてくれましたがとても分かりやすく、安心して参加できるツアーでした。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです。

Due to the weather, it was quite windy, and we switched to stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves and snorkeling in Nago Bay, but we had a great time taking lots of photos.

That day, for safety reasons, it seemed that other tour companies were also gathering at the same location, so both experiences had quite a few people, but I think if the weather is stable, it would be a bit more relaxed.

They also provided pick-up right in front of the hotel, and since it was fine for the bus to be wet, I didn't need to change, which was great because I had very little luggage.

They dropped us off at the terminal for lunch, so I had no trouble choosing a place to eat, and the staff also recommended some restaurants on the bus.

In addition to the items listed, I recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and a waterproof case for your smartphone so you can take photos while paddleboarding.

気候の関係で風が強く、マングローブでのサップと名護湾でのシュノーケリングに変更になりましたが、たくさん写真も撮っていただいて楽しく過ごせました。
その日はおそらく安全のために他のツアー会社も軒並み同じ場所に集まっていたので、どちらの体験でもかなり人が多かったですが、安定した気候の日ならもう少し落ち着いて体験できるのではないかと思います。
ホテルの前まで送迎もしていただき、バスも濡れたままで問題ないとのことで着替え不要だったため荷物もかなり少なくてよかったです。
お昼もターミナルまで送っていただいたので、お店選びには困りませんでしたし、バスの中でスタッフさんおすすめのお店も教えていただけました。
持ち物は書いてあるもの以外では帽子、日焼け止めと、スマホ防水ケースがあればサップ中は自分でも写真が撮れるのでおすすめです。
