All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

In the morning, I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. It was the best weather during my stay, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. At first, I was a bit hesitant with the SUP, but once I got used to it, I was able to stand up and glide smoothly, which was a lot of fun.

After having lunch together, we gathered again and went snorkeling in the afternoon. The water was a bit cold, but I was amazed by the number of fish I saw and the clarity of the water. Both activities were truly wonderful experiences. They also sent me about 160 photos, which became great memories. Thank you very much!

午前中に川平湾でSUPをしました。滞在中で1番いい天気で海がめちゃくちゃきれいでした。SUPは最初おそるおそるでしたが、慣れてきたら立てて、スイスイと楽しかったです。
いったんお昼を食べて最集合して、午後からシュノーケリングをしました。
少し水が冷たかったですが、魚もたくさん見えて、透明度に感動しました。どちらもすごく素敵な体験でした。写真も160枚ぐらい送ってくださり、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

As a beginner, I was able to enjoy the experience thanks to the kind instruction from the instructor! Not only did we have the activity, but we also had enjoyable conversations about Okinawa in the car, creating a fun atmosphere throughout. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I was able to see various fish, and the instructor provided explanations while sharing different stories about them. It was my first time on a canoe, and I had an extraordinary experience in the magnificent nature.

初心者でしたが、インストラクターの方が優しく教えてくださったので楽しむことができました！アクティビティの体験だけでなく、車内での雑談でも沖縄についてのお話をしてくださって、終始楽しい雰囲気のなか楽しめました。残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでしたが、色々な魚を見ることができ、こちらについても様々な話を交えながら解説してくださりました。カヌーは初めて乗りましたが、雄大な自然の中、非日常的な体験ができました。

Since we traveled all the way to Okinawa, we definitely wanted to see the beautiful ocean, so the three of us signed up for this snorkeling experience course. However, on the morning of the event, we received the disappointing news that the Blue Cave was off-limits due to rough seas.

Fortunately, in such situations, they had already suggested an alternative snorkeling location on the southern side of the main island, so we decided to go there instead. After a friendly and easy-to-talk-to instructor thoroughly explained the overall process and how to use the equipment, we headed into the sea. We were able to fully enjoy the transparent, blue ocean world, which was visible for several meters ahead. Overall, it was a satisfying experience. Thank you!

せっかく沖縄に旅行したからには是非綺麗な海を見たいと，同期3人で本シュノーケリング体験コースへ申込みをしました．
ところが当日の朝，海が荒れているため青の洞窟はNGとの一報が…残念．

しかし，そういった状況になった場合は代替場所(本島南側)でのシュノーケリングを事前に提案していただいていたため，そちらでシュノーケリング体験をすることに．
気さくで話しやすいインストラクターさんから全体の流れや機材の使い方などを丁寧に説明していただいた後，海へ．
数m先まで見渡せる透明で青い海の世界をたっぷり満喫することが出来ました．
全体的に満足な体験ができました．ありがとうございました！

Anyway, I was moved by how beautiful Kabira Bay is. There were foreign ships coming in, and it was fun to experience the atmosphere with so many Westerners around.

とにかく川平湾がきれいで感動しました。外国船が入国していて欧米人がいっぱいで外国気分も味わえて楽しかったです。

This time, due to my circumstances, I only participated in the canoe experience at Kabira Bay. At first, I was worried about what would happen if I fell into the sea from the canoe, but the canoe was stable, and I was able to enjoy it without any concerns. We slowly paddled through the transparent waters of Kabira Bay, sometimes picking up speed and going deep into the bay. We took a short break at a small beach that couldn't be reached from land. The guide took many photos for us. I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Kabira Bay. My wife, who was scared because she can't swim, was very satisfied and said she wanted to go canoeing more.

By the way, the day after the canoe experience, we also did SUP and canyoning with the same company, PiPi, on Iriomote Island! That was amazing too. Now that I'm back home, I'm planning when to go to Ishigaki Island next time.

今回は私の都合で川平湾のカヌー体験だけになりました。
最初はカヌーから海に落ちたら、どうしようと不安でしたけれどカヌーは安定していてまったく心配なく楽しめました。
川平湾の透き通る海をゆっくりと､時にはスピードを上げ湾の奥の方まで行って来ました。陸上からは道がなくてたどり着くことができないような小さな浜辺によって小休止｡写真もガイドさんに沢山撮って頂きました。
きれいな川平湾を堪能することができました。
カナヅチで怖がっていた嫁も、もっとカヌーに乗りたいと大満足です。

ちなみにカヌー体験の翌日は同じPiPi さんで西表島sup +キャニオニングを体験しました！
こちらも最高でした。
今､地元に帰って来ましたけど、次回の石垣島はいつ行こうか計画してます

Fourth visit to Okinawa, solo trip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was about time to travel again, and with the nationwide travel subsidy, the bus was almost full and bustling.
Churaumi Aquarium:
There used to be three whale sharks, but now there is only one, and the large tank looks lonely (-_-;) The dolphin show at Okichan Theater was enjoyable even for a solo traveler, with the children's cheers adding to the fun. They are so talented!!
Kouri Island:
I only visited the beach and the roadside station for souvenirs, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Heart Rock Tower. The bridge leading to Kouri Island is beautiful no matter when you visit.
Chatan American Village:
It's Christmas Town all year round. The delicious food left me not only in a good mood but also completely satisfied. The sunset at the end was the best.
I appreciate the long bus journey, safe driving, and the support from the guide.

沖縄４回目の訪問で一人旅
コロナ禍でそろそろ限界、全国旅行給付もありバスはほぼ満席で盛況。
美ら海：
３匹いたジンベイザメが１匹になり大きな水槽がさみしそう(-_-;)
イルカショーのオキちゃん劇場はおひとりさまでも、子供の歓声もあり楽しめました。芸達者でいい！！
古宇利島：
ビーチ、道の駅でお土産のみで、ハートロックタワーに行けなかったのが残念。古宇利島へ続く一本橋は何時行っても素敵の一言
北谷アメリカンビレッチ：
一年中クリスマスタウン＊美味しいごはん、気分だけでなくお腹も大満足です。最後のサンセットは最高
長いバス旅、安全運転、ガイドさんのサポートに感謝です。

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand. Also, the song about the sugarcane fields was really great. I was moved to tears!

ガイドさんのお話がとてもわかり易かった。
また、サトウキビ畑の唄が大変良かったです。涙ちよちよぎれ！

This time, my wife and I traveled to Ishigaki Island for the first time, and while searching for activities on VELTRA, we found a plan at Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi that allowed us to enjoy both the Kayak SUP tour and snorkeling at the Blue Cave in one day.

On the day of the tour, due to the wind and waves, we couldn't do the snorkeling at the Blue Cave and had to go to a different location, but personally, I had a fantastic time snorkeling.

Swimming through the clear sea among the coral reefs, I was able to see fish and sea turtles up close. The scenery underwater far exceeded my imagination.

My wife had a bit of trouble with her stamina on the way back, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused, but the guide was very kind and helpful.

After we were dropped off at the hotel, they even checked in on us, which I really appreciated.

I was embarrassed to be the only one who fell off the SUP among the participants (laughs). If we have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to request this tour. Thank you for the wonderful time!

　今回、夫婦で初めて石垣島に旅行に行き、どんなアクティビティを体験しようかとVELTRAさんで探していたところ、川平SUPツアーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングが1日で満喫できるプランが石垣島 ADVENTURE PiPiさんにてありましたのでお世話になってきましたー♪
　当日は風と波の影響で青の洞窟シュノーケリングは出来ず、代わりに別な場所になってしまいましたが、個人的には凄い楽しめたシュノーケリングになりました。
　透き通る海の中で、珊瑚礁の間を通り抜けながら泳いで行き、魚やウミガメも近くで見れました。もう海の中の景色は自分の想像を遥かに超えていました。
　妻の体力が無く、沖まで帰る中ご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、ガイドの方に親切にご対応頂きとても助かりました。
　ホテルへ送り届けて頂いた後も心配してご連絡くださりました、有難うございました。
　SUPで落ちたのはツアー参加の方々の中で私だけだったのが恥ずかしかったです（笑）
　また機会があれば是非お願いしたいと思います。楽しい時間を有難うございました。

In mid-March, I participated in SAP and snorkeling with my university student daughter. I received a phone call the day before to confirm the details. At that time, I requested prescription goggles on short notice, and they kindly accommodated my request. On the day of the event, there were four groups of eight participants, including us, and two staff members provided guidance. SAP allowed us to enjoy the scenery from a higher vantage point than canoeing. I was constantly battling the fear of falling, but I managed to stay on without falling even once. During snorkeling, there were frequent health checks. My daughter almost cramped up, but she was able to hold onto a float and quickly recovered. I think we were able to observe the sea turtles for a relatively long time. After finishing, I was more exhausted than I expected, possibly due to buoyancy? I realized that the frequent health checks were likely in anticipation of this situation. Thanks to the staff, we made wonderful memories of Ishigaki Island.

3月中旬に大学生の娘とにSAPとシュノーケリングに参加しました。参加前日に詳細確認のため電話を頂きました。その時に度付きゴーグルを急遽お願いしましたが快く受付てもらえました。当日の参加者は私達を含めて4組8名、2名のスタッフでご指導を頂きました。SAPはカヌーよりも目線が高く景色を楽しめました。常に落ちそうな恐怖と戦っていましたが一度も落ちずにすみました。シュノーケリングでは途中頻繁に体調確認があります。娘が足がつりそうになりましたが、浮具に掴まらせてもらいすぐに回復しました。ウミガメは比較的長く観察できたと思います。終了後は浮力の関係？か想像以上に疲れていました。この状況を見越して頻繁な体調確認があったんだと思いました。スタッフの方のお陰で石垣島のいい思い出がでしました。

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

I applied for this tour because I couldn't compromise on the conditions of transportation from the accommodation, insurance included, photo shooting, and an afternoon departure.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was a bit scared, but in the end, all I can say is "It was fun!"

The instructor was very thorough in teaching the how-tos, and since it was a small group, it was easy to ask questions. (They were very friendly and approachable.) If you can swim, there’s nothing difficult even for beginners, and you surprisingly get used to it quickly. Personally, I found using the fins a bit challenging. However, the instructor pulled a float for me, so even if you can't swim on your own, you can manage!

I participated in early March, and the sun was strong, but the water temperature wasn't too low, which was nice. Since I got tired easily during my first snorkeling experience, 40 minutes of swimming was just right. The sea had low salinity, so it wasn't too sticky, and when I poured the warm water they provided over myself, it warmed me up and felt refreshing!

I had several questions about the sea in Okinawa, and they answered many of them, which conveyed their love for the ocean and gave me a sense of reassurance. It was enjoyable and deepened my knowledge.

Next time, I want to explore a different area and try diving as well. I plan to rely on them again when I visit Okinawa Main Island!

滞在先の送迎、保険付き、写真撮影、午後出発、この条件が譲れなかったのでこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
初めてのシュノーケリングで少し怖さもあったのですが、終わってみれば「楽しい！」その一言につきます。

インストラクターさんは丁寧にハウツーを教えてくれるし、少人数なので不明点があっても話しかけやすいです。（そもそも、とても気さくで話しやすい方でした）
初めてでも泳げる人であれば難しいことは何もなく、意外とすぐに慣れるものだなぁと。個人的には足ヒレの使い方が少し難しかった。
でも、インストラクターさんが浮輪を引っ張ってくれるので、自力で泳げなくても何とかなります！笑

３月上旬に参加して、日差しも強く水温もそんなに低くなくて良かった。初めてのシュノーケリングで疲れやすかったので、泳ぐ時間は４０分で丁度いいです。
塩気の薄い海なのでベタベタ感もあまりなく、用意してくれるお湯をめいっぱいかぶると身体も温まりサッパリ！

沖縄の海について気になることがいくつかあり、そう言った質問にも沢山答えてくれて、海が大好きなのが伝わってきて安心感もあり、知見も深まり楽しかったです。

今度は別のエリアも行ってみたいし、ダイビングにも挑戦してみたい。沖縄本島に行く際はまたお世話になろうと思います！

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she was a wonderful singer. I would love to join her again next time, but I forgot her name; she was the beautiful lady from March 8th.

ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく歌も上手で素敵な方でした。
又、次回もご一緒して頂きたいと思いますが名前を忘れました3月8日の綺麗なお姉さんでした。

The staff's service, the shuttle to the hotel, the delicious bento included, and the satisfaction from snorkeling were all wonderful and amazing! I was able to see turtles and also spotted whales, which made me extremely happy!! I definitely want to go again!

スタッフさんの対応、ホテルまでの送迎あり、弁当付き(美味しい)、シュノーケリングの満足感、どれも素晴らしくて最高でした！
カメも見ることができたし、クジラも見ることができ大満足でした！！
また行きたいと思えました！

I participated in a blue cave diving experience in Okinawa for the first time. During the same time slot, we were the only divers, and it seemed like there were more people snorkeling. Thanks to the full-face mask, breathing was easy and very comfortable. The instructors were all very nice, and the blue cave guided by Mr. Goshima, who was with us the whole time, was amazing. He pointed out some unusual fish along the way and took great photos and videos of us in the blue cave, creating wonderful memories. He even showed us how to make bubble rings with our hands, showcasing the possibilities of ocean activities for beginners. I was also happy that camera rentals were free, which is different from other places. Thank you very much!

初めての沖縄で青の洞窟ダイビング体験に参加しました。
同じ時間帯でもダイビングは僕達のみでどちらかというとシュノーケリングが多い印象でした。
フルフェイスマスクのおかげで呼吸も楽々とても快適でした。
インストラクターの方は皆さんとても感じが良く、付ききりで担当してくださった五嶋さんに案内して頂いた青の洞窟は最高でした。
途中変わった魚がいると教えてくれたり、青の洞窟での写真や動画撮影もとても良い感じに撮ってくださり最高の体験と思い出が出来ました。
バブルリングを手で作って見せてくれたりとダイビング初心者にも海遊びの可能性を魅せてくれました。
他と違いカメラレンタルが無料なのも嬉しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。

I'm glad I was able to visit several tourist attractions even without a car! At American Village, I think it would be difficult to take photos and leisurely enjoy meals or shopping at the same time. As for the Churaumi Aquarium, it depends on the person, but I felt it was just the right amount of time. I did have to hurry a bit, but I enjoyed the large tank, other exhibits, and the dolphin show. I recommend it!

車を持っていなくても、いくつかの観光名所を回れて良かったです！！
アメリカンヴィレッジは写真を撮っていたらご飯とか買い物をゆっくりすることは難しいと思います。美ら海水族館は人にもよるとは思いますが、ちょうど良い時間で少し急ぎはしましたが、大水槽やほかのコーナー、イルカショーも楽しめました。
おすすめです。

Since it was a short stay and I didn't have a rental car, I chose this bus tour for my first visit to Ishigaki Island. We toured around the island and enjoyed activities like riding a glass-bottom boat in Kabira Bay, all while being guided by our tour guide, which made the experience very enjoyable. The weather was great that day, and I truly believe the beautiful scenery made it even more enjoyable.

短めの滞在&レンタカーなしの旅だったので、初めての石垣島観光にこのバスツアーを選びました。
島をぐるりと巡り、川平湾ではグラスボートに乗ったりと、ガイドさんに案内してもらいながらとても楽しく観光できました。
当日はとても天気もよく、本当に景色が素晴らしくてより楽しめたとおもいます。

I participated in a canoe trip with my girlfriend. It seems that during winter, most ferries to Uehara Port are canceled, so we took the ferry to Ohara instead. We almost missed it because we woke up late.

From Ohara Port, there was a replacement bus to Uehara Port, where we met up with our guide.

The canoeing started quickly after a brief explanation. It was quite charming and enjoyable. The stand-up paddleboarding seemed challenging for the women when they came out of the river against the headwind.

It seems that many shops are often closed for lunch, so everyone was eating at one place. We made do with the bread we had bought.

The ox cart ride was only about 400 meters to the island, so it felt a bit short, but I felt lucky to hear the driver play the sanshin while singing.

The journey was not boring thanks to the guide's explanations! We were taken back to Ohara Port and were able to return on the 5 PM ferry. I had a great vacation! Thank you!

彼女とカヌーで参加しました。冬はほぼ上原港行きの便が欠航なようで、大原行きの便に乗っての出発。起きるのが遅れて遅れかけました
大原港からは代わりのバスが出ており上原港まで。そこでガイドさんと合流しました。

カヌーは説明もそこそこに早速ライドオン。なかなかに風情があって楽しかったです。SUPの方は川から最後出てくるときに逆風で女性の方は大変そうだったな。

昼は店が開いていないことも多いようで皆さん1つのお店で食べられていました。我々は買っておいたパンで済ましました。

牛車は島まで精々400m程度なので若干物足りませんでしたが、御者のおっちゃんの三線弾き語りが聞けて得した気分でした。

道中もガイドさんの説明もあり退屈しませんでした！
帰りは大原港まで送っていただき17時の便で帰ることができました。良いバカンスを楽しめました！ありがとうございました。

I participated in the PiPi tour for the second time this time. Due to the weather, we changed from snorkeling at Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave to mangrove kayaking and a different snorkeling session, but it was a very satisfying tour. The kayaking was also fun as it was my first time in the mangroves. One request I have is that since it was a joint tour with SUP and kayaking, I understand there are reservation considerations, but I thought it would be smoother if it could be organized for kayaking only. During snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle for the first time, which was great. We also took a lot of photos, creating many memorable pictures. I would like to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

今回2回目のPiPiツアーに参加しました。
天候の関係上、川平湾と青の洞窟シュノーケリングからマングローブカヤックと別シュノーケリングに変更となりましたが、大満足のツアーでした。
カヤックについても初めてのマングローブで楽しかったです。1点だけご要望としてはSUPとカヤックの合同でしたので予約の都合もあると思いますが、カヤックのみにまとめてもらえるスムーズと思いました。
シュノーケリングでは初めてのウミガメも見ることができよかったです。写真も沢山取っていただき、思い出の写真が沢山できました。
また石垣島へ参加の際は参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Due to the rain, we switched to a mangrove tour canoe, but we had a great time even in the rain! It was wonderful to see the precious mangroves up close and to learn about their ecology from our guide. We also got to take many lovely photos.

The river current was a bit strong, making it hard to move forward at times, and we even got a little wet, but it was still a very enjoyable tour! I feel like the bonds between participants deepened.

Our guide was cheerful and entertaining, and the explanations were easy to understand. The other participants were very kind, and we were able to finish the tour in a warm atmosphere.

Next time, I definitely want to join the canoe tour at Kabira Bay!

雨天でマングローブツアーカヌーに変更になりましたが、雨の中でもとても楽しめました！貴重なマングローブを間近で見ることができたことも、ガイドさんの解説を聞いてマングローブの生態について知れたこともとても良かったです。素敵な写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。
川の流れが少し強くなかなか前に進めなかったり、川に浸かってしまったりしましたが笑、それでもとても楽しいツアーでした！参加者同士の絆が深まった気がします。
ガイドさんも明るく面白い方で説明もわかりやすく、他のツアー参加者の方々もとても優しくて、温かい雰囲気でツアーを終えることができました。
次回は川平湾のカヌーにもぜひ参加してみたいです！

Originally, we had planned a family canoe tour at Kabira Bay, but due to bad weather, we had to quickly change our plan to a mangrove tour. With strong winds and all participants being inexperienced in canoeing, we encountered several mishaps. However, thanks to our guide's quick thinking and flexible response, including changing the route, we were able to finish the tour safely and enjoyably. The canoe tour with an experienced and entertaining guide was very satisfying, and I would love to do it again if the opportunity arises!

もともとは家族で川平湾カヌーツアーを予定していましたが、悪天候のため急遽マングローブツアーへプラン変更させていただきました。強風に加え参加者全員がカヌー未経験ということもあり何度もハプニングを起こしてしまいましたが、ガイドさんが機転を効かせてルートを変更する等、柔軟な対応をしていただいたおかげで無事楽しいツアーとして終えることができました笑経験豊富でお話も面白いガイドさんと一緒のカヌーツアーは満足感が高く、また機会があればリピしたいと思いました！

I was able to visit the key spots of Ishigaki Island in a short time. The lunch included was a great deal. The guide's explanations and the sanshin performance were also enjoyable.

短時間で石垣島の要所を見学できた。
ランチも付いてお得です。またガイドさんの説明三線も楽しかったです。

In the morning, I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time. As I started, the weather cleared up, and I was able to see a rainbow over the mountains. The sea was calm, making it the perfect location for a beginner like me. I could lie on the board and gaze at the mountains, which helped me forget my busy daily life. I was especially impressed that I could enjoy the scenery from the same eye level as the water.

In the afternoon, I experienced diving. I was surprised at how warm the sea was for February. I was thrilled to see clownfish and tropical fish up close, and I was even lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle.

午前中は初めてサップボードに挑戦しました
天候はやり始めていくうちに晴れてきて山には虹がかかり見ることができました
海はベタ凪で初心者の私にとって最高のロケーションでした
ボードの上で寝転んでぼーっと山を眺めて過ごすこともできて忙しい日常を忘れさせてくれました
何より水面と同じ目線から景色を眺められる事に感激しました

午後からはダイビングを体験しました
ダイビングは２月の割には海が温かくて意外でした
カクレクマノミや熱帯魚を間近で見れてさらにウミガメに出会えて嬉しかったです

I booked the SUP tour at Kabira Bay + the Blue Cave snorkeling plan.
It was everyone's first time on the SUP tour, but it was fun!
Along the way, we saw a rainbow, which was a rare experience.

Due to weather conditions, the Blue Cave snorkeling was changed to Kabira Bay.
I was so happy to meet a sea turtle that I had longed to see!
The sea turtles at Kabira Bay are friendly, and I was able to observe them closely.
I will definitely go back to challenge the Blue Cave again✨

Thank you very much.

川平湾SUPツアー＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングプランで予約をしました。
SUPツアーは皆初めてでしたが、楽しかったです！
途中、虹が見えて、貴重な経験ができました。

青の洞窟シュノーケリングは天候の都合上、川平湾に変更となりました。
念願のウミガメに会えて、嬉しかったです！
川平湾のウミガメは人懐っこく、じっくり見ることができました。
青の洞窟は今度またリベンジしに行きます✨

ありがとうございました。

The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we were able to visit the mangroves, which was fun! I was really surprised by the power of nature that I normally wouldn't see. I also enjoyed hearing the little tips from our guide, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The information about local shops was very valuable, and thanks to that, I was able to enjoy delicious yakiniku and Okinawa soba. If I can come to Ishigaki Island again, I would like to try going to the Blue Cave! Thank you very much!

天候が悪く、青の洞窟にはいけませんでしたがマングローブには行けて楽しかったです！
普段じゃ絶対に見れない自然の迫力に大変驚かされました
ガイドの方のプチ情報も聞けて旅行をさらに楽しむことができました☺︎現地の方のお店の情報は、大変貴重でしたおかげさまで美味しい焼肉も沖縄そばも食べることができました
また今度石垣島に来れたら、青の洞窟も行ってみたいと思います！
本当にありがとうございました！

Due to strong winds, the activities we had planned were canceled, and we made a last-minute reservation the night before. Even with little experience in marine sports, canoeing was enjoyable and went smoothly. When I was alone, it required quite a bit of strength to paddle, and I got tired halfway through, but the guide was there to help, which was reassuring.

I also appreciated that they provided water to wash my feet after the activity. During the experience, they took many photos, and it was a great time for everyone to look back at them later. Next time, I would like to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) as well!

強風のため予定していたアクティビティが中止になってしまい、前日夜に急遽予約させていただきました。
マリンスポーツの経験が少なくても、カヌーはスイスイ進めて楽しかったです。1人の場合は漕ぐのに結構力がいるので途中で疲れてしまったのですが、ガイドの方が助けてくださったので安心でした。
アクティビティ終了後に足を洗うための水を用意してくださったのもありがたかったです。
体験中にはたくさん写真を撮ってくださり、みんなで後から見返すのもとても良い時間になりました。
今度はsupもしてみたいです！

I was able to visit various highlights. The male bus guide was very good with his stable narration.

色々な見どころを回ることができました。男性のバスガイドさん、安定感のある語り口でとてもよかったです。

Each group is accompanied by one instructor, allowing you to swim at your own pace. The Blue Cave is truly blue, and we were given plenty of time to take many photos and videos. This is a marine sport that I can recommend for both older and younger people.

1グループに1インストラクターが付きますので、自分たちのペースで泳げます。
青の洞窟は本当に青く、たっぷり時間も取っていただき、写真も動画も撮影もたくさんしてくれました。
年配の方も若い方にもオススメできるマリンスポーツですね。
