All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave and ended up at Ohsaki Beach, but in the morning, we had a snorkeling course. To be honest, I was scared to snorkel because I couldn't swim, but with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs). Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery and got absorbed in the beautiful ocean views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle, and although the weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, I had a great time! I was really healed by the beautiful sea and fish, and I'm glad I had this experience! The guide, a young man and woman, were also kind and took a lot of photos for us, for which I am grateful ❤️.

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the clouds cleared up, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so connected to the sky and the horizon, and it was incredibly soothing (^0_0^).

天候が悪く、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりましたが、朝はシュノーケルのコースとなりました。
正直泳げなかったので、シュノーケルやるのに怖じ気づきましたが、ガイドさんと友達に励まし後押しされ、頑張って進めました(笑)体力的に心配はあったものの、なんとかついていって、途中からは海の中を鑑賞するのも余裕が出てきて、海の景色に吸い込まれて楽しめました。ウミガメにも奇跡的に会え、天気は曇りで微妙でしたが、満喫できました〜！
キレイな海と魚に本当に癒されて体験できて良かったです！ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️
午後はSUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)

The weather was bad, and our plans changed. Instead of going to the Blue Cave in the morning, we ended up at Ohsaki Beach (what a shame).

Honestly, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since I couldn't swim well, and when I first entered the water and put my face in, I felt a little scared. However, with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs).

Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I started to enjoy observing the underwater scenery, getting absorbed in the beautiful views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle! The weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, but I had a great time!

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course at Kabira Bay. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the sun started to break through, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so relaxed, merging with the sky and the horizon (^0_0^).

I’m really glad I got to experience the beautiful sea and fish! The guide and his partner were also very kind (I fell off the board a few times, and they helped pull me back up, haha), and I’m grateful for all the photos they took! ❤️

天候が悪く、当初予定と変更。朝シュノーケルのコースとなり、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりました（残念）
正直泳げなかったので、シュノーケルやるのに不安を感じており、いざ海に入り顔をつけると少し怖じ気づきましたが、ガイドさんと友達に励まし後押しされ、頑張って進めました(笑)
体力的に心配はあったものの、なんとかついていって、途中からは海の中を鑑賞するのも余裕が出てきて、海の景色に吸い込まれて楽しめました。ウミガメにも奇跡的に会え、天気は曇りで微妙でしたが、満喫できました〜！
午後は川平湾SUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)
キレイな海と魚に本当に癒されて体験できて良かったです！
ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切（途中何回かボードから落ち、最後は引っ張って頂きましたww）でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️

I participated with my 5-year-old son in late November. Due to bad weather, we ended up snorkeling at a different beach, but we were grateful they accommodated this since it was my son's request. On the day of the event, it got cold halfway through, and my son and I decided to turn back, but I think it was great that there were two guides who helped us make that decision without any pressure. My son was very satisfied to have experienced snorkeling.

We had plenty of time for lunch, so we were able to change out of our wet swimsuits. In the afternoon, the weather improved, and we were able to relax. Although it was a canoe course, my son was thrilled to be able to ride on the guide's SUP. It was also a lot of fun to communicate with others who were participating in the same tour.

11月下旬に5才の息子と参加しました。
天候不良のため別のビーチでのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、息子の希望だったので開催してくれてありがたかったです。
当日は途中で寒くなってしまい、我々親子のみ途中で引き返す事になりましたが、ガイドの方が2名で対応されていたので、無理せず戻る判断ができてとても良かったと思います。息子もシュノーケリングを経験できたのでとても満足しています。

お昼は十分に時間があったので濡れた水着を着替えることもできました。
午後からは天気も良く、ゆっくり過ごすことができました。カヌーのコースでしたが、息子はガイドのお兄さんのSUPにも乗せて頂くことができて嬉しそうでした。
同じツアーに参加していた方ともコミュニケーションがとれてとても楽しかったです。

This was my first experience with marine activities in my life. Of course, it was also my first time doing stand-up paddleboarding, so I was a bit nervous at first, but even someone like me, who isn't very athletic, was able to enjoy it! The instructor kindly taught us how to use the paddle, so I think those who might say, "I'm not good at sports, can I do this?" can try it with confidence!

The clear paddleboard was more transparent than I expected (I thought it would be a bit cloudy), and I could see well into the water, so just by looking down, I could see colorful fish swimming up close. I was surprised by the sea snake swimming around! If you're going to do paddleboarding, I definitely recommend the clear paddleboard over the regular one, as you can see into the ocean!

They took a lot of photos and videos for us, and I appreciated that they suggested great poses for the pictures. On the day of the experience, the wind was strong, so I thought flying the drone might be difficult, but they said, "We can just barely fly it!" and managed to capture some aerial footage! Even though it was a cloudy day, the footage showed us paddleboarding over the beautiful blue sea, reminding me of the stunning colors of the ocean in Miyako Island. After the experience, in addition to the photos and videos taken on-site, they also sent us a highlight video with background music via AirDrop. This video was truly moving, and I ended up crying after saying goodbye to the staff... The staff members were incredibly kind and had wonderful smiles. This has undoubtedly become my best memory from my trip to Miyako Island. Thank you very much!

私にとって人生初のマリンアクティビティ体験でした。もちろんサップをするのも初めてだったので最初こそ緊張しましたが、運動神経がいまいちな私でも楽しく体験することができました！インストラクターの方が丁寧にパドルの使い方を教えてくれるので「運動が苦手だけど、できるかな？」と言う方も安心してトライできると思います！
クリアサップは思っていたよりも透明で(もう少し曇っているものかと思っていました)水の中がよく見えるので、足元に目を向けるだけで泳いでるカラフルな魚を間近に見れます。ニョロニョロ泳ぐウミヘビにはビックリでした！サップをするなら普通のサップよりも、海の中が見えるクリアサップの方が間違いなくオススメです！
写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただいて、映えるポーズも指示していただけるのでありがたかったです笑。体験をした日は風が強かったので、ドローンは厳しいかなと思っていたのですが「ギリギリ飛ばせます！」と言っていただいて上空からの動画も撮影してもらうことができました！曇が多い日だったので海の色も暗く写っているのかと思いきや、綺麗なブルーの海の上でサップをする姿がバッチリ映っていて、改めて宮古島の海の色の美しさを感じました。体験終了後にはその場で撮影した写真や動画の他にBGMを入れたハイライト動画もAirDropで送信してもらえます。この動画が本当に感動モノでじ～んときてしまい、スタッフさん達と別れた後に泣きました...笑。スタッフの皆さんは本当に親切で、笑顔が素敵な方々でした。間違いなくこの宮古島旅行で1番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

The day before, they confirmed the meeting place, what to bring, and important notes over the phone. The location was Imugya Marine Garden. They provided a thorough lecture on how to paddleboard in advance, which was very detailed! The water was so clear, and since we had clear paddleboards, I was amazed to see fish swimming underneath when I looked down. They used a drone to capture videos, resulting in a high-quality production that I could never achieve on my own! I was surprised that they also created an original movie at the end; I was very satisfied! I think just the photos taken by the guide would be enough to be satisfied! However, we also had free time, and they lent us waterproof cases for our smartphones, so we could take our own pictures as well. They showed us spots where we could see fish, and we had a really enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

前日に集合場所の確認、持ち物、注意事項など電話で伝えてくれました。
場所はイムギャーマリンガーデンでした。
サップの乗り方も事前にちゃんとレクチャーしてくれて、とても丁寧でした！
海の透明度が高く、クリアサップボードだったのでボードの下を覗き込むと魚が見えて感動しました。
動画はドローンを使って撮影してくれるので、個人では到底撮れない完成度の高いものになってます！最後はオリジナルムービーも作成してくれて驚きました、大満足です！写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれたものだけでも十分満足できると思います！でも自由時間ももらえるのと、スマホ防水ケースも貸してもらえたので、自分たちで撮ることもできました。魚が見れるスポットも教えてもらって、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

Initially, I had booked a SUP tour at Kabira Bay, but due to strong winds, it was changed to a mangrove SUP at Miyara River. Although it was a last-minute change, I was able to enjoy a close-up view of the mangroves, which was a great experience. Depending on the weather, it seems that you can also see rare birds and aquatic creatures!

It was mid-November, but the temperature was around 25 degrees, making it very pleasant for SUP, and I had no issues doing it in short sleeves and shorts. It started to rain partway through, and I got completely soaked, so wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet is essential! Other than clothes that can get wet, there was nothing else you needed to prepare, making it a tour that beginners can enjoy with peace of mind.

During the tour, the guide took a lot of photos with a GoPro, so I was able to keep fun memories captured in pictures. Thank you very much!

当初、川平湾でのSUPツアーを予約しておりましたが、強風のため宮良川マングローブSUPへ変更になりました。急遽の変更でしたが、間近でマングローブを眺めることができて、いい経験ができました。天気によるようですが、珍しい鳥や水辺の生き物などを見ることができることもあるようです！
11月中旬でしたが、気温は25度くらいでとても気持ち良くSUPができ、半袖短パンでのSUPも全く問題なしでした。途中から雨降ってきてしまい、全身ずぶ濡れになったので、濡れても良い格好は必須です！濡れてもいい服装以外、特に何も用意する必要もなく、初心者でも安心して楽しめるツアーでした。
ツアー中にはガイドさんがGoProでたくさん写真を撮ってくださるので、楽しい思い出の写真を残すことができました。ありがとうございました！

November is the off-peak season on the island, and the water temperature is a bit cold, so there are fewer people swimming in the sea. However, with this tour, you can rent a wetsuit, so you can participate without hesitation. Additionally, fins, life jackets, and snorkels are provided, so you only need to bring your swimsuit.

The experience location is about a 25-minute drive from the meeting point and is a popular spot on the island known for sea turtles. During the drive, they will explain how to use the equipment, swimming techniques, and photography tips.

At the local beach, although it wasn't as busy as during peak season, I was able to swim near 1 or 2 sea turtles. Following the pre-explanation, the staff took beautiful photos of me near the turtles. Since there were fewer participants during the off-peak season, they took a lot of photos. It seems that during peak season, there can be up to 20 groups of participants, so if you want to take many photos and observe the sea turtles closely, I recommend participating around November.

11月は島の閑散期となり、水温も少し冷たいので海で泳いでいる方は少ないですが、こちらなツアーではウェットスーツを借りることができるので気兼ねなく参加することができます。そのほか、フィンやライフジャケット、シュノーケルも用意されているので水着だけ持っていけば参加できます。
体験場所は、集合場所から車で25分ほどの場所で、ウミガメで有名な島の人気スポットです。移動中の車の中で機材の使い方や泳ぎ方、撮影の注意点を説明してくれます。
現地の浜では、ピークシーズンほどではありませんが、1〜2匹のウミガメのそばを泳ぐことができました。事前の説明に従ってウミガメのそばにいるとスタッフさんが綺麗に写真を撮影してくれます。
閑散期で参加者が少ないのでたくさんの写真を撮ってくれました。ピークシーズには多い時で20組の参加者がいるそうなので、写真をたくさん撮りたい方、ウミガメをじっくりみたい方は11月ごろの参加もおすすめです。

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we were the only participants, we started the experience one-on-one. Although we are beginners, we were able to enjoy ourselves as the instructor explained the points clearly. The staff took many photos for us, allowing us to capture moments we usually wouldn't, which added to our memories. The chatting was also enjoyable, and I felt it was the essence of an experiential activity. There were various other plans available, so I definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you!

カップルで初参加しました。
参加者が私たちだけだったので、マンツーマンで体験スタート。初心者ですが、分かりやすくポイントを教えてもらい2人とも楽しむことができました☺︎
スタッフの方が写真も沢山撮ってくれたので、普段撮れないような写真も残すことができ、思い出が増えました♡
お喋りも楽しくて、体験型の醍醐味だなと思いました。他にも色んなプランがあったので、次回も是非参加してみたいです。ありがとうございました＾＾

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was not possible, so we changed to the coast at Ohsaki. The weather was bad, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was incredibly beautiful. I've seen quite a few places, but this was among the top in terms of beauty, and I was very impressed.

However, during the mangrove tour at Miyara River, the guide kept calling out "Mom! Mom!" I was participating with colleagues from work, and I am not a mother. I had filled out my name and emergency contact information at the beginning, but if they don't check that, what's the point of filling it out? In today's world, there are many different types of couples and families, so I think it's wrong to assume relationships based solely on age differences. This is a basic principle of customer service.

If it were just the snorkeling, I would have been completely satisfied and would give it five stars. Thank you for going out of your way to drop us off at the hotel. However, because the mangrove tour was included, I lowered my rating due to the above issues.

シュノーケルは青の洞窟は出来なくて大崎という海岸に変更。天気悪くあまり期待してなかったのですが、とにかく無茶苦茶綺麗。結構色々みてきましたが、一二を争う綺麗さで大感激でした。
ただ、宮良川のマングローブツアーですが、ガイドの方が「お母さんお母さん！」って。会社の同僚と参加しており私はそもそもお母さんではなく。最初に名前書いたり緊急連絡先住所などの記入をしたのですが、確認しないなら書く必要性が、なんのための記入なんでしょうか、、、。今のご時世、歳の差カップル夫婦など色々な方がいるかとおもいますので年齢差だけで関係性を決めつけるのはダメだと思います。これは、接客の基本だと思います。
シュノーケルだけなら大満足で星は5つ。ホテルまで無理言って送っていただきましてありがとうございました。
マングローブツアーとのセットなので上記の事情により評価下げました。

I participated with my colleagues from work. Due to the cancellation of the Uehara ferry, we gathered at 10 AM, but I was relieved because we received proper advance notice. In the morning, we enjoyed a tour of the ox cart and Yufu Island, which lasted about an hour and a half. Yufu Island is small, so we had plenty of fun! The gelato was especially amazing! In the afternoon, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but all the other participants were kayaking. We had experience with SUP, so it was no problem for us, but the staff were also very attentive in teaching the kayakers, so I think it would be fine even for beginners. Paddling through the mangroves felt mystical, and it gave the illusion of being overseas. We landed in the mangrove forest to observe wildlife and took photos in front of a waterfall, although it was a bit disappointing that the waterfall was very small. The staff were quite friendly and easy to approach, and I could tell they were also attentive to safety. Overall, it was a satisfying activity! Thank you very much!

職場の同僚と参加させていただきました。
上原航路が欠航になった都合で、10時集合になりましたか、しっかり事前連絡があったので安心でした。午前中は牛車と由布島観光でしたが、合わせて１時間半ほどでした。由布島は小さな島なので十分楽しめました！特にジェラートが最高でした！午後はSUPをしましたが、他の参加者は全員カヤックでした。私達はSUP経験があったので問題なかったのですが、スタッフの方達はカヤックの人たちにも丁寧に教えてくださっていたので、未経験でも大丈夫だと思います。マングローブの中を抜けての川登は神秘的で、海外にいる様は錯覚になりました。マングローブ林に上陸して生物観察をしたり、滝の前で写真撮影をしたりしましたが、滝がとても小さかったのが残念でした。スタッフの方達はかなりフレンドリーで接しやすかったと同時に、安全面に関しても気を使ってくださっているのがよくわかりました。全体的には満足のいくアクティビティでした！ありがとうございました！

We were blessed with clear skies and had a wonderful time kayaking in the calm, crystal-clear sea, where we saw many sparkling blue fish, clownfish, and corals. Above all, the conversations with the staff were very enjoyable.

I was so moved by the many photos and the quick editing of the drone footage that I even shed a few tears. They lent us waterproof cases for our smartphones and sunscreen so we could take photos underwater. The one-and-a-half-hour kayaking session was just the right amount of time, and it became the best memory of my long-awaited trip to Miyako Island.

I definitely want to visit again!

晴天にも恵まれ、穏やかで透明度の高い海中をクリアカヤックで青い輝く魚、クマノミ、サンゴがたくさん見れました。なんといっても、スタッフさんとの会話も、とても楽しい時間でした。
たくさんの写真、そして、ドローン撮影の編集がすぐ見れて、とても感動して、涙まででてしまいました。
海中を撮影できるようスマホの防水ケースや日焼け止めまで貸してくれました。1時間半ちょうど良い時間で念願の宮古島でのカヤックが最高の思い出となりました。
また、ぜひ、訪れたいと思います。

We participated as a couple. We come to Okinawa almost every year, but it had been a while since we decided to try parasailing again, about 10 years since the last time. At first, I was a bit nervous, but the beautiful scenery and refreshing feeling quickly blew away my tension.

Due to the wind direction, we flew with Sesoko Island behind us, but the view of the blue sea and green islands from above was amazing. They also take photos and videos with your smartphone, making for great memories. The guide was friendly and kind, so we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

夫婦での参加しました。毎年のように沖縄に来てますが、久しぶりにやってみようということになって、10年ぶりぐらいのパラセーリングでした。最初は少し緊張しましたが、きれいな景色と爽快感で緊張も一瞬で吹き飛びました。
風向きの関係で瀬底島を背にした飛行でしたが、上空からの青い海や緑の島々の景色は最高でした。
持参しているスマホで写真や動画も撮ってくれるので、良い記念になります。
ガイドの方も気さくで親切なので、とても楽しめました。ありがとうございました！

I was really looking forward to my first night tour on Iriomote Island. Canoeing was a first-time experience for me, but I felt safe and enjoyed it thanks to the thorough instructions and supervision provided. I was satisfied to see many stars and bioluminescent plankton that I can't see in the city. The guide was very knowledgeable about stars and constellations and provided a lot of explanations. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the Milky Way because the moon was bright. The guide informed us of the time the moon would set that day and suggested that we stay up late to look at the night sky. So, I went to the beach in the middle of the night. Although the Milky Way was hidden behind thin clouds, the sight of the orange moon setting was very beautiful. I would like to join this tour again during the new moon to see the Milky Way.

初めての西表島でのナイトツアーなのでとても楽しみにしていました。
カヌーは初体験でしたがしっかりレクチャーと見守りをしていただいたので安心して楽しむことができました。
都会では見ることのない沢山の星と青く光る夜光虫を見ることができ満足できました。
ガイドの方が星や星座にとても詳しく沢山解説をしてくださいました。
ただ、月が明るかったので天の川を見ることができなかったことを残念に思っていたところ、その日の月の没む時刻を教えてくださり、頑張って夜更かしをして夜空を見上げてみたらどうですか？と提案してくださいましたので、夜中に海岸へ行ってみました。
天の川は薄雲に隠れて見えませんでしたが、オレンジ色に輝く月が没んでいくところがとても綺麗でした。
新月の時にもう一度このツアーに参加して天の川を見たいと思います。

I participated in a mangrove kayak tour. The kayaking was a bit challenging due to the wind direction, but it was neither too difficult nor too easy, allowing us to enjoy paddling. The mangroves and other trees were very mystical.

Additionally, our guide, Mr. Iju, explained how to operate the kayak in an easy-to-understand manner, provided clear explanations about the trees, and took photos of us in picturesque spots. His kindness and friendliness made the experience even more enjoyable.

I realized that while ocean activities are fun, river activities are also great. Thank you, Mr. Iju!

マングローブカヤックツアーに参加させていただきました。
カヤックは風向きなどで、ちょっと難しいところもあったり、でも難しすぎず簡単すぎず、楽しんで漕ぐことができました。マングローブや他の樹木もとても神秘的です。

また、ガイドの伊集さんが、カヤックの操作もわかりやすく教えてくれて、また木々などの説明もわかりやすく、映える場所で写真を撮ってくれたり、親切で気さくなのでより楽しさ倍増でした。

海のアクティビティも楽しいケド、河のアクティビティもいいな、と実感。
伊集さん、ありがとうございました！

I participated with my 5-year-old son. It was more of a jungle than I imagined, and just adventuring with a flashlight and rubber boots was an incredibly valuable experience that you can only have on this tour! The guide kept finding rare creatures, and my son was having so much fun that he left me behind to follow the guide. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to see a coconut crab! Hearing my child say "that was fun" made it truly worthwhile to join. Both adults and children enjoyed it.

5才の息子と2人で参加しました。
想像以上にジャングルで、ライト片手に長靴で冒険するだけでも、ツアーでしかできないとっても貴重な体験だと思います！
珍しい生き物をお兄さんがどんどん見つけてくれるので、息子は私を置いてお兄さんについて行くほど楽しんでいました。
頑張って探していただいてヤシガニも無事見えました！子供の「楽しかった」が聞けたので、本当に参加してよかったです。大人も子供も楽しめました。

My first experience with stand-up paddleboarding was wonderful. On the day of the activity, the weather was perfect with hardly any wind, and our guide was very attentive and made it fun, allowing even beginners to easily enjoy the activity.

The scenery of Kabira Bay was simply stunning, and I was truly glad to have the experience of standing on the board and gliding over the crystal-clear water! Even days later, I still think back on it.

Additionally, even if you don't fall into the sea during the activity, your clothes will definitely get wet, so the service of being transported back to the hotel by car was very much appreciated. The guide also shared interesting information about Ishigaki Island during the ride, so it was never boring.

The photos taken during the activity were provided on the same day. I am truly grateful to the guide for the wonderful time I had.

サップは初めての体験でしたが、当日は天候に恵まれ風はほとんどなく、ガイドさんがとても丁寧に、そして楽しくフォローしてくださいましたので、初心者でも簡単にアクティビティを楽しむことができました。

川平湾の景色は素晴らしいの一言で、透き通った水面をボードの上に立って進んでいく時間は本当に体験できてよかったです！数日経つ今でも思い返しています。

また、アクティビティ中に海に落ちなくても絶対に衣服は濡れますので、宿泊しているホテルに車で送迎していただけるサービスはとてもありがたかったです。道中もガイドさんが楽しく石垣島の紹介をしてくれますので、まったく退屈しません。

撮影いただいた写真も当日中に提供いただきました。素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただいたガイドさんには本当に感謝しております。

It was a windy day, and I was worried about the sea conditions, but once I put on the wetsuit, I was totally fine with the cold and could swim leisurely!

I even got to see sea turtles and took lots of wonderful photos! There were also clownfish and many other colorful fish, which were adorable. When I got tired of swimming in the second half, I could grab onto something like a float, and they would pull me along, so I didn't have to worry about running out of energy.

Our guide, Matsuura, was kind and taught us various things, making the tour enjoyable! It was truly fun and became the best memory. Thank you very much!

風が強い日で海の感じが心配でしたが、ウェットスーツを来たら冷たさも全然大丈夫でのんびり泳げました！

ウミガメにも会えて素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました！ニモも他の色んな魚もいて可愛かったです。後半泳ぎが疲れたら浮き輪みたいなのに捕まって引っ張ってくれるので体力切れの心配もないです

ガイドの松浦さんも優しく色々教えてくださって楽しくツアーに参加することができました！
本当に楽しく最高の思い出になりました(^^)
ありがとうございました！

Walking through the pitch-black jungle was a valuable experience. I was also glad to see a coconut crab! I researched the stars beforehand, but it was difficult to find the constellations on my own, so I thought it would have been even better to have explanations from a guide.

真っ黒なジャングルを歩くのは貴重な体験でした。ヤシガニも見れてよかったです！
星は事前に調べて行きましたが自分で正座を見つけるのは難しかったので、ガイドからの説明もあると尚よかったなぁと思いました。

We participated as a family of four (a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl).

After receiving an explanation, we boarded the kayak, and they had paddles available in sizes suitable for children, which made the kids very happy and eager to join in. The 4-year-old was thrilled to be called "Captain!" and sat at the very front, paddling away with great enthusiasm (while the adults paddled from the back, laughing).

During the ride, the guide pointed out spots where we could see clownfish and other fish clearly, and his attention to safety made us feel very secure throughout the experience.

Above all, we received a video of the drone footage right after the tour, and the quality was incredibly high, which was impressive. They also took many photos, and we were very satisfied.

The 2-year-old was more interested in peering under the water to spot fish rather than paddling, so I was glad we participated in the clear kayak experience. It’s a great option for families with small children, allowing them to enjoy the ocean without getting in the water. Both the kids and adults had a wonderful time!

家族4人（男の子4歳、女の子2歳）で参加しました。
最初に説明を受けて乗り込みますが、子供用のパドルもそれぞれのサイズを用意いただけていてとても子供たちが喜んで張り切っておりました。
4歳の子を「船長さんね！」と一番前に乗せてくれたことで本人は大張り切り。
バシャバシャ一生懸命漕いでおりました。（後ろで大人が漕いでいました笑）

乗っている途中でもガイドのお兄さんがカクレクマノミやお魚がよく見えるスポットを教えてくれたり、安全に気を配ってくださるのがとても伝わり安心して参加できました。

なにより、ドローン撮影の動画をツアー終了後すぐにいただけて
中身もとてもクオリティが高くて感動しました。
お写真も沢山とっていただき大満足です。

2歳の子供は漕ぐことより海の下を覗いて魚をみつけては喜んでいたのでクリアカヤックに参加できてよかったと思いました。
小さい子供が海に入らず海を楽しめるので小さい子連れにおすすめです♪
子供ももちろんですが、大人も楽しめました。

I participated for the first time, and they taught me how to get on and off, as well as how to use the paddle, in a fun and thorough manner! They also taught us about various aspects of nature while giving quizzes, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. I will participate again!

初めて参加して、乗り方や降り方、パドルの使い方など楽しく丁寧に教えて頂きました！
実際はいろんな自然の成り立ちなどクイズ出しながら教えて頂き、子供も大人も楽しめる内容でした♪
また参加します！

I decided to join a tour in Ishigaki Island where I could see many constellations. My friend who joined me was very interested in the jungle tour. …Both turned out to be more fun than I expected. We walked through a place that truly felt like a jungle in complete darkness to reach the coast. The starry sky over the night beach was breathtaking. I saw plants and creatures I had never seen before. It was so much fun. Additionally, our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The small group of just seven participants was also a plus.

たくさんの星座が観れる石垣島で、是非参加したいと決めたツアー。一緒に参加の友人はジャングルツアーに興味津々。
…結果はどちらも予想以上に楽しかった。真っ暗な中、本当にジャングルの様な所を通って海岸へ。夜の海岸で観る星空。見たことのない様な植物や生き物。とっても楽しかったです。また、ガイドさんもお話が詳しく、楽しませてくれました。参加者7人と言う少人数も良かったです。

I arrived at Ishigaki Island around 6 PM and went straight to the tour, and I had a fantastic time from the very first day! It's not often that you get to explore the ocean and jungle at night, so I'm really glad I participated in this tour! The guide was also a lot of fun and taught us a lot about Ishigaki Island! I would love to join again if I have the chance.

18時頃石垣島着の飛行機でそのままツアーへ直行しましたが、初日から大満喫でした！
夜の海やジャングルを散策することってなかなかできないので、今回ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです！ガイドさんもとても楽しい方でたくさん石垣島について教えてくださいました！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I made a reservation by myself, but I experienced it with three locals. They welcomed us with a very warm atmosphere, and the two hours flew by!

In the beautiful, clear sea, I was lucky enough to see rays, turtles, and schools of fish. The beach was shallow and had little wind, so even as a beginner, I had a great time!

The trainer's instructions were precise, and I was able to paddle at speed on my own in no time. During the transfer, I also heard various stories about Ishigaki and the plants, which was very enjoyable. I created wonderful memories on the last day! Thank you very much!!

ひとりで予約しましたが、地元の方3人と一緒に体験しました。とても温かい雰囲気で歓迎してくださり、2時間があっという間でした！

透き通った美しい海で、幸運なことにエイやカメ、魚の群れも見ることができました。遠浅で風の少ないビーチだったので、初心者でしたがかなり楽しめました！

トレーナーの方の指示も的確で、すぐに自力でスピードに乗って漕げるようになりました。送迎の時も石垣や植物などいろいろな話を聞かせていただき、とても楽しかったです。最終日に素敵な思い出ができました！ありがとうございました！！

We enjoyed canoeing and snorkeling as a couple for the first time in Miyako Island. While paddling through the clear sea, we could feel the wind. In the highly transparent water, we were able to see beautiful coral reefs and fish up close. We were also thrilled to see sea turtles up close! Swimming in the ocean made us feel as if our daily stress and fatigue were healed. The guide was very attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We are grateful for the beautiful sea and natural environment of Miyako Island and would love to visit again.

初めての宮古島でカヌーとシュノーケリングを夫婦２人で楽しみました。透明な海を漕ぎながら、風を感じることができました。透明度の高い海で、美しいサンゴ礁や魚たちを間近で見ることができました。またウミガメも間近で見れて、感動しました！海の中で泳ぐことで、日常のストレスや疲れが癒されたような気持ちになりました。ガイドの方も丁寧な対応で、安心して楽しめました。宮古島の美しい海と自然環境に感謝し、また訪れたいと思いました。

I participated with my colleagues to create memories on Ishigaki Island. I was a bit unsure, but the reviews were very good, so I decided on this tour. However, perhaps I had too high expectations or just had bad luck that day, as it ended up feeling incomplete.

On the day of the tour, we started with a full van of nine people in four groups and one guide. Two vans started under the same conditions. I was impressed by the guide's attentive service and dedication. Thank you for taking photos as well.

One thing that concerned me was that while participants were provided with rubber boots for safety against habu snakes, I worried about the guide wearing shorts and sandals. I was thrilled to encounter coconut crabs, scorpions, and fireflies, but I would have liked a more detailed explanation of their ecology. Also, although it was bright due to the moonlight and the stars were beautiful, it was disappointing that there was no explanation about the stars. We could see Subaru and Jupiter, but I wonder if they just forgot?

I was looking forward to the stars, and my colleagues and I ended up feeling disappointed. There were too many people, so I hesitated to ask many questions, and it concluded feeling incomplete. However, I am grateful for the good experience.

会社の同僚と石垣島の思い出作りのために参加しました。いろいろ迷いましたが、口コミがとても良かったので、こちらのツアーに決めましたが、期待し過ぎたのか、その日の運が悪かったのか、不完全のまま終了しました。
当日は、ワゴン車に9名4組にガイド一人の満席でスタート。同じ状況で2台でスタート。
ガイドさんの丁寧な対応と一生懸命さには関心しました。写真も撮って下さりありがとうございました。気になったのが、参加者にはハブ対策で長靴貸して頂き安心してジャングルを歩く事できましたが、ガイドさんは半ズボンにサンダルで大丈夫かなと心配になりました。
ヤシガニやサソリモドキ、ホタルに出会えて感激しましたが、もう少し詳しい生態を説明してもらいたかったです。あと、月夜で明るかったのですが、星が綺麗に見えてたのに、まったく星の説明が無かったのは残念でした。スバルや木星見えてたのに～
忘れてたのかな?
星も楽しみにしてたのに、同僚とがっかりしてしまいました。
人数が多過ぎて、遠慮してあまり質問も出来ず不完全のまま終了しました。
でも良い体験させて頂き感謝してます。

I wanted my family to see the beautiful sea of the Kerama Islands that I visited with my friend, and I joined because I heard we could swim at three spots.

According to the staff, it was a particularly clear day, and all three spots were incredibly beautiful, with lots of lovely fish, sea cucumbers, and starfish! The colors of the sea at all three locations were subtly different, and the calmness of the waves varied as well.

I could only see the turtles from the boat (but the divers were able to see them, and we could confirm this with downloadable photos), yet it was still a highly satisfying experience.

The staff explained various fish we encountered while swimming and took photos from different angles. I also had a great time with the newlywed couple who joined us!

As a side note, there were 28 participants, and the snorkeling and diving were about half and half, but only four of the participants were Japanese for snorkeling.

I've been to Okinawa many times, but participating in this tour has added more fun memories of Okinawa!

友人と行った慶良間諸島の綺麗な海を家族にも見せたかったのと、こちらは3スポットも泳げるとの事で参加しました^ - ^

スタッフさん曰く特に透明度の高い日だったようで3スポット全て大変綺麗で美しい魚やナマコ、ヒトデなどたくさん見れました！綺麗な海も3箇所とも微妙に青色が違かったり波の穏やかさ等も違いました！

カメさんは船からしか見えませんでしたが(ダイビングの方々は見えたそうでダウンロードできる写真で確認もできました)それでも満足度の高い内容でした^ - ^

スタッフさんが色々と泳いでいる魚の説明してくれたり様々なアングルで写真も撮って下さいましたし、一緒に参加した新婚さんカップルとも和気藹々と過ごせて楽しかったです！

余談ですが、28人の参加でシュノーケリングとダイビングは半々位でしたが、シュノーケリングは日本人の参加者は4人だけでした。

何度も来ている沖縄ですが、こちらのツアーに参加して沖縄の楽しい思い出がまた増えました☆

At the end of October, I participated in the Kayahira Bay SUP tour and the Blue Cave snorkeling tour. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave and ended up snorkeling at a different location, but I had a great time! ☺️ During the tour, they took photos, including underwater shots, and I received the data, which was really nice! Also, since it was the end of October and the weather was bad, it was a bit chilly, so I think those participating at this time should wear not just swimsuits but also rash guards, and it's a good idea to rent a wetsuit. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance! Thank you!

10月末に、川平湾SUPツアー＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
当日は天候の影響により青の洞窟には行けず、別の場所でのシュノーケリングとなったことは残念でしたが、とても楽しめました☺️
ツアー中、海の中のを含め写真を撮ってくださり、データでいただけたのがとても良かったです！
また、10月末ということ、天候が悪かったこともあって、少し寒かったので、この時期ご参加される方は水着だけではなく、ラッシュガードを着て、ウェットスーツは借りた方がいいと思います。
ぜひ、機会があればまた参加したいと思います♪
ありがとうございました！

I wanted to experience the great outdoors on my trip to Ishigaki Island, so I booked this course. The friendly staff prioritized safety, which allowed me to fully enjoy the activities and have a very satisfying time.

In the morning, we went kayaking in the Miyara River mangroves. The staff provided a concise and appropriate briefing before kayaking, which alleviated any worries about falling into the river. Their knowledgeable explanations about the Miyara River, the trees, and the sounds of birds allowed us to comfortably connect with nature. I was grateful that the staff took many wonderful videos and photos. (Only drinks were allowed on the kayak.)

In the afternoon, we snorkeled from Ohsaki Beach. When I received a phone call the day before the activity to confirm the details, I was informed that due to strong winds, the snorkeling point would be changed near the Blue Cave. It was a bit disappointing, but the snorkeling at Ohsaki Beach was absolutely fantastic. We had plenty of time, around an hour, for snorkeling (I've done it several times, but this was the longest). I think the coral reef point was a few hundred meters from the beach, but the staff frequently checked on our well-being and provided precise support, which was reassuring. The weather was also favorable, so the visibility was excellent, and we enjoyed the presence of fish swimming around the vibrant coral, fully immersing ourselves in the extraordinary experience. I enjoyed snorkeling so much that I ended up with slight muscle soreness the next day… haha.

There was about a 30-minute travel time to each activity location, but during that time, the staff recommended shops and souvenirs, and I enjoyed Yaeyama soba and a shake. They were delicious!! The souvenirs were also a big hit!

I was able to fully enjoy both kayaking and snorkeling. Thank you so much to all the staff.

I would love to join PiPi's tour again when I travel to Ishigaki Island. Next, I want to visit the Phantom Island and Hamajima!

For those considering participating, I strongly recommend using the restroom just before gathering. Since it's a water-related activity, your body can get colder than expected. Please be aware that there are likely no restroom facilities nearby.

石垣島旅行では大自然を肌で感じたいと思い、こちらのコースを予約しました。フレンドリーなスタッフさんの安全を最優先したアテンドだったので安心してアクティビティを思いきり満喫し、大満足な時間を過ごしました。

午前中は宮良川マングローブカヤックでした。カヤック前にレクチャーを簡潔・適切に行ってくださったので川に落ちる心配もなくなり、知識豊富なスタッフの方の要所要所での宮良川や樹木などの説明と鳥の声などを聞くこともできたりと余裕をもって大自然を感じることができました。
スタッフさんが素敵な動画や写真を沢山取ってくださって有り難かったです。
（カヤックにはドリンクのみ持ち込み）

午後は大崎ビーチからのシュノーケリングでした。
アクティビティ前日に内容確認の電話連絡を頂いた際、青の洞窟付近は強風予報が出ているためシュノーケルポイント変更になる旨のお話がありました。少し残念でしたが…
実際に大崎ビーチのシュノーケリングは最高に気持が良かったです。シュノーケリング時間もたっぷり1時間程度ありました。（何度かシュノーケリングをしていますが、一番長かったです）
珊瑚礁のポイントまでビーチからは数百メートルあったと思いますが、頻繁にスタッフさんが体調と所在確認、的確なサポートをして下さったので安心でした。
天候にも恵まれたので、透明度抜群、存在感のある珊瑚の周りでは魚達が泳ぎ回り非日常を存分に楽しむ事ができました。
シュノーケルを全力で楽しんだので翌日は軽い筋肉痛になってしまいました…　笑

またアクティビティの場所までそれぞれ片道30分程度ありましたが、その移動時間にオススメのお店やお土産を教えて頂き、八重山そばとシェイクを飲食しました。絶品でした！！
お土産も大好評でした！

カヤック・シュノーケリングとも思いきり楽しむことができました。
スタッフの皆さま、本当にありがとうございました。

石垣島旅行の際はPiPiさんのツアーにまた参加したいと思います。
次は幻の島、浜島にも行ってみたいな～。


これから参加を検討している方、集合直前にトイレに行くことを強くオススメします。
水に関わるアクティビティですので、予想以上に体が冷えます。周りにはトイレなどの設備がぼぼないと思いますのでご注意くださいね。

I participated in a one-day plan for snorkeling and SUP.

The snorkeling was in the morning, and it was my first time in Miyako Island. The underwater scenery was very beautiful, and there were plenty of fish! I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. It was a shame that I couldn't take a photo with the sea turtle because there were many other tour participants.

After a lunch break, we had SUP at 2 PM. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and it started to rain quite a bit, so the photos didn't turn out very well (maybe because of the bad weather), which was disappointing. However, the experience itself was really fun thanks to the staff member who created a great atmosphere! Thank you!

シュノーケルとSUPの1日プランに参加させていただきました。

シュノーケルは午前中で、初めての宮古島でしたが海中がとても綺麗で魚もいっぱいでした！運良くウミガメも見れて感動でした。
他のツアーの方達もたくさんいたので、ウミガメと一緒に写真を撮れなかったのは残念でした。

お昼休憩を挟んで午後14時からSUPでした。
こちらは仕方ないのですが天気が悪く、雨が結構降ってきてしまい写真も余り綺麗でなく(天気が悪かったからかも)残念でした。
体験自体はスタッフのお姉さんが雰囲気を良くしてくださりすごく楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy stargazing due to the cloudy weather. The night tour started from a place that was surprisingly dark. Perhaps because of the season, we could only see insects like spiders and centipedes, but we did manage to spot a single firefly glowing.

What caught my attention was the drifting trash. When I thought I saw something shining, it turned out to be garbage like plastic bottles and bags. While it might be unavoidable, I felt a bit sad wondering if coconut crabs live among the trash.

The guide who accompanied us was very kind and attentive, and throughout the tour, they worked hard to teach us about the ecosystem and even recommended delicious places to eat in Ishigaki Island, allowing us to have a great time. It might be good to have one more location for times when visibility is low.

星空鑑賞はあいにくの曇りのため、星空鑑賞することはできませんでした。
ナイトツアーでは、こんなに暗いの！？と驚く場所からスタート。
季節柄なのか、クモ、ゲジゲジなどの昆虫しか見れず唯一、ホタルが一匹光るのを見ることができました。
気になったのは、漂流しているゴミです。
キラリと光ったと思ったらペットボトルやビニールなどのゴミで、仕方ないかもしれないのですが、ゴミの中でヤシガニが生息するのか…と少し切なくなりました。
今回案内してくださったガイドさんはとても親切丁寧で、ツアー中も一生懸命生態系の事を教えてくださったり、道中石垣島の美味しいお店を教えてくれたりと、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
あまり見れない時の為にもう一箇所位あると良いのかもしれません。
