They took a lot of wonderful photos.
I appreciate their kind service.
I encourage everyone to make a reservation with confidence.

素敵な写真をいっぱい撮ってくれました。
ご対応が親切で、感謝しております。
皆さんに安心して、ご予約ください。

It was my first trip to Miyako Island! Since I was there, even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I decided to participate to see the beautiful sea and fish.

I was very anxious about snorkeling until I got into the water, but as soon as I entered, I was amazed to see the clear water and colorful fish up close that I had only seen in aquariums! The guide also checked on us from time to time, which made me feel safe while snorkeling. I was so happy to encounter a sea turtle at the very end, as I thought I wouldn't see one today! I'm grateful to the guide for searching so diligently!

The afternoon canoeing and pumpkin cave experience required quite a bit of stamina, but I was able to have an experience in a mystical space that I couldn't have done on my own. Although we were a bit pressed for time, the guide was very reliable, and we were able to finish safely within the time limit.

While it's nice to relax at the hotel, I had such memorable experiences on the tour that I would like to request it again when I travel to Miyako Island! Thank you for a full day of fun!

初めての宮古島旅行でした！せっかくの宮古島なので、泳ぎは得意ではなかったのですが綺麗な海や魚が見たく参加しました。

海に入るまでシュノーケリング出来るかとても不安でしたが、入ってすぐ透明度の高い海と、水族館でしか見たことのないカラフルな魚たちを間近で見ることが出来感動でした！
ガイドさんも時々気にかけて下さり、安心してシュノーケリング出来ました。ウミガメも今日は見れないのかなと思っていたら、最後の最後に出会えたので嬉しかったです！熱心に探してくれたガイドさんに感謝です！

午後のカヌーとパンプキン鍾乳洞は、体力がだいぶ必要ですが、神秘的な空間で個人では出来ない体験が出来ました。少し時間が押していたのですが、ガイドさんがとても頼もしく、時間内に無事終える事ができました。
ホテルでゆっくり過ごすのも良いですが、ツアーで思い出に残る経験が出来たので、また宮古島に旅行した時はお願いしたいと思いました！
丸一日ありがとうございました！

It was a bit rough, but I was able to see the sea turtles perfectly! The photos were dynamic and amazing. I would like to use this service again if I have the chance.

少し荒れ模様だったがウミガメがバッチリ見れた！写真も躍動感があり最高でした。また機会があれば利用したいです

We participated in a tour for our honeymoon. Although I was a bit anxious about snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, we both had a great experience! The meeting location was different from what was mentioned in the email, but they were accommodating and drove us, which was nice.

新婚旅行でツアーに参加しました。
はじめてのシュノーケリング、サップで少し不安
でしたが、夫婦共に楽しく体験できました！
集合場所がメール内容と違ったのでそこだけ、、
しかし、車で送っていただいたり、臨機応変に対応して頂けたのでよかったです。

Our guide, Yamato, was very kind and actively communicated with us, creating a friendly atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy the tour. He provided explanations and quizzes at various points, making it a truly valuable experience that we rarely get to have!

ガイドのヤマトさんが大変優しく、コミュニケーションを積極的にとって頂いて和やかな雰囲気でツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。
所々で説明やクイズをしてくださり、滅多にできない大変貴重な経験ができました！！

We were able to see many coconut crabs that my child wanted to see. We also enjoyed observing bats, insects, plants, and the starry sky, which made us very satisfied. Thanks to our guide Yamato's detailed explanations, we had an even better experience! Having a guide with us was reassuring, and they were great at taking photos. The pictures taken by the guide were much more beautiful than the ones I took myself! If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would love to join this tour.

子供が見たがっていたヤシガニをたくさん見つけられました。
他にもコウモリや虫、植物観察、星空観察もできて大満足です。
ガイドのヤマトさんの丁寧な説明で、より楽しめました！
ガイドさんが一緒だと安心ですし、写真撮影もお上手。
自分で撮った写真より何倍も綺麗！
また宮古島に行くことがあれば、このツアーに参加したいです。

I participated because I wanted to see the mysterious limestone caves! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but it was such a fun tour that I forgot about it!

First, we took a kayak for about 10 minutes to reach the caves, and during that time, the sea was so beautiful, and there were fish swimming around!

Inside the cave, we enjoyed interesting talks about the names of the stalactites and the history of the caves!

I definitely recommend this to anyone going to Miyako Island!

神秘的な鍾乳洞が見られるということで参加しました！天気はあいにくの曇でしたがそれを忘れてしまうくらい楽しいツアーでした！

まずはカヤックで鍾乳洞まで約10分ほどかけて行くのですが、その最中も海がとても綺麗で魚たちも泳いでいました！

鍾乳洞内では鍾乳石の名前クイズや鍾乳洞の歴史など興味深いトークで楽しませていただけました！

宮古島に行く方には絶対におすすめしたいです！

I participated with my mother. It was my 67-year-old mother's first experience not only with snorkeling but also swimming in the ocean. Perhaps because the wind was strong, the waves were high, so she seemed scared and found it difficult to swim alone, but the instructor kindly helped her. We were able to encounter a sea turtle and take pictures together, creating the best memories. The couple who participated with us were also kind, and despite causing them some trouble, they treated us with warmth. I am filled with gratitude for everyone's kindness! Thank you very much!

母と2人で参加させて頂きました。
67歳の母はシュノーケリングはもちろん、海で泳ぐのも初めての体験でした。
風が強かった為か、波が高かったので、やっぱり怖かったみたいで1人で泳いで行くことが難しかったのですが、インストラクターのお兄さんが引っ張ってくださいました。
ウミガメと遭遇もできて、無事に写真も一緒に撮ることができて最高の思い出ができました(^-^)
一緒に参加したカップルさんも優しい方でたくさんご迷惑をかけてしまったにも関わらず優しくしてくださり、皆さんの温かさに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！
ありがとうございましたm(_ _)m

It was rainy on the day of the tour, but that added to the jungle atmosphere, making it enjoyable in its own way. We participated as a family, and although my son fell behind while canoeing, he was very happy thanks to the guide's support. The trekking to the waterfall took just the right amount of time and was pleasant, with the guide's explanations along the way being easy to understand. It was a very enjoyable tour.

当日は雨模様でしたが、ジャングル感が増すのでそれはそれで楽しめます。家族での参加で、息子がカヌーで遅れをとる事もありましたが、ガイドさんのフォローのお陰で非常に喜んでいました。
程良い時間で滝へ辿り着けるトレッキングが心地よく、道中のガイドさんの解説も分かりやすく、非常に楽しいツアーでした。

I was able to go out to the ocean and see sea turtles. The sea was calm, and I enjoyed snorkeling safely. The water was so clear that I felt like I was walking or swimming in the sky as I could see the deep seabed clearly. Since life jackets are provided, there's no need to dive, so even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it with peace of mind. If you are prone to motion sickness in the car, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication, as you might feel a bit queasy from the waves.

沖の方まで出てウミガメを見ることが出来ました。
海も穏やかで安全にシュノーケリングが楽しめました。
海が透き通っているため底深い海底まではっきり見えるので空を歩いたり泳いでるような感覚になりました。
ライフジャケットを着用用するので海に潜る必要もなく、泳ぎが苦手な方でも安心して楽しめると思います。
車に酔いやすい方は波で少し酔う可能性があるので酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもしれません。

I was worried about the rain and wind, but as the guide told us, the mangroves act as a windbreak, so it was very comfortable to canoe inside where there was no wind. I was able to enjoy it with my children without any worries.

雨と風で心配していましたが、マングローブは防風林になっているので、中は風が無いんですよーとガイドさんが教えてくれた通り、とても快適にカヌーが出来ました。子連れでも安心して楽しめました。

I was planning to book a kayak and cave tour through JTB, but it was fully booked. Just when I was about to give up, I found the clear kayak experience offered by VELTRA online and was able to sign up. I was really looking forward to enjoying marine sports! (*´σｰ｀)ｴﾍﾍ

Initially, it said the duration was 40 minutes, so I thought it would be over in no time... but it actually lasted over an hour and a half! (laughs) I was completely exhausted (my arms lost strength from paddling), and one of the participants even called from the water to ask if we could head back! I really had a great time (laughs).

Moreover, they took photos and even drone footage, which made for a fantastic keepsake. I participated with my sister and brother-in-law, and everyone said they had a lot of fun!

JTBで申し込もうと思ってた、カヤック&鍾乳洞ツアーが満員になってて、諦めかけた時にネットで見つけたVELTRA さんのクリアカヤック体験を申し込んだところ、申込みできて楽しみにしてたマリンスポーツを満喫することが出来ました(*´σｰ｀)ｴﾍﾍ
当初、所要時間40分と書いてあったので、アッという間に終わるんだろうな・・・と思っていたところ、なんと１時間半は越えていたかと(笑)ｗｗｗ
さすがに疲れはて(カヤックを漕ぐ腕の力が無くなって)、一緒に体験に参加されていた方が、海上から電話をかけてくれて、もう戻ってもよろしいですか？と問い合わせしてくれたくらい、満喫させていただきました(笑)
しかも、写真やドローンでの撮影動画まで撮っていただいて、スッゴく良い記念になりました。
姉と義兄の３人で参加しましたが、みんな楽しかった！と喜んでおります。

I went at the beginning of March. It was still a bit cold, but I was able to see sea turtles right away. They also took me to the coral, where I had an experience that I usually wouldn't get to enjoy, with many fish swimming right in front of me. I was able to take a lot of wonderful photos, and I am very satisfied. Thank you!

3月頭に行きました。まだ少し寒かったですが、ウミガメはすぐに見れました。サンゴの方にも連れて行ってくれて、目の前には沢山の魚が泳いでいるという普段では味わえない体験ができました。素敵な写真を沢山撮っていただいて、満足です。ありがとうございました！

Although the weather was unfortunate, I was very satisfied with the snorkeling as I got to see sea turtles and Nemo. The ocean was very beautiful, like a natural aquarium! Since I was there, adding the Pumpkin Cave was a great decision! It's a mystical place that you can't visit without a guide. The guide had a lovely smile, and I would love to request them again next time. Thank you, Ryoma!

あいにくの天気でしたが、ウミガメにも会え、ニモにも会えて大満足のシュノーケリングでした。
海もとても綺麗で天然の水族館でした♪
せっかくなのでパンプキン鍾乳洞をプラスして大正解！！
神秘的な世界でここはガイドさんなしでは行けない所。
素敵な笑顔のガイドさんで次の機会にもまたお願いしたいです。
リョーマさん、ありがとうございました！！

The staff was enjoyable to talk to and very accommodating, but it was very cold, and the hour was tough. It was nice that they provided blankets and warm tea. The stars were often hidden by clouds, and I didn't find the tour to be worth the price.

スタッフの方のお話は楽しく対応も良かったですが、とても寒く1時間が辛かったです。毛布や温かいお茶を用意して下さったのは良かったです。
星は雲に隠れがちで見えなくなることも多く、このお値段で納得のいくツアーではなかったです。

We rode water buffalo back and forth between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island. On the way there, it was Ichiro, and on the way back, it was Yumeno. It was interesting to hear about the characteristics of the water buffalo and the differences in their personalities. The grandfather who was the water buffalo handler played the sanshin beautifully. We were able to experience the nature and culture of Iriomote Island, making it the best memory of our family trip. Thank you!

由布島と西表間を水牛に乗って往復。
行きはイチロー君、帰りはユメノちゃんでした。
水牛の特徴や、その子その子の性格の違いが聞けて面白かった。水牛師のおじいちゃんの三線も最高でした。西表島の自然と文化に触れることができ、家族旅行の最高の思い出となりました。ありがとうございました!

I enjoyed hearing various trivia about Iriomote Island while traveling, so I wasn't bored. Thank you, and I want to go again.

移動中も西表島の豆知識を色々聞かせていただき退屈しませんでした。ありがとうございました、また、行きたいです。

In the morning, I went snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I experienced the water buffalo on Yubu Island.

In the morning, the instructor Kenken provided thorough guidance, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling safely and happily. He shared information about the fish and coral and took many great photos, which was fantastic! I also appreciated him recommending a lunch spot on the way back.

In the afternoon, Rikkun was our guide. During the car ride, he talked a lot about Iriomote Island and Yubu Island. The water buffalo were very cute, and I was able to touch them and take photos together, creating wonderful memories. The gelato shop is highly recommended.

It was a very fulfilling day. Thank you!

午前中はシュノーケリング、午後は由布島水牛を体験しました。

午前中、インストラクターのけんけんがしっかり指導してくれ、楽しく安全にシュノーケリングをすることができました。魚やサンゴの情報を教えてくれたり、映える写真をたくさん撮ってくれて最高でした！帰りの車でオススメのランチスポットを教えてくれたのもありがたかったです。

午後は、りっくんがガイドしてくれました。車での移動中も、西表島や由布島のことなど、たくさん話してくれました。水牛たちはとてもかわいくて、島の中では触ったり、一緒に写真を撮れたり、素敵な思い出ができました。ジェラート屋さんがオススメです。

とても充実した1日でした。ありがとうございました！

On our first trip to Ishigaki with my daughter, we decided to book a tour that included snorkeling at the Blue Cave and stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. On the day of the tour, the wind was strong, and we ended up snorkeling at a different location instead of the Blue Cave. However, our guide explained a lot and we were able to see many fish, which made for a fun time.

In the afternoon, the stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay was changed to mangrove paddleboarding, and since we really wanted to do the Kabira Bay paddleboarding, we were able to cancel it for free. During that time, the guide also recommended some great shops and experiences, which was really helpful.

I would love to try again when I go back to Ishigaki. Thank you!

娘と初めての石垣旅行で、色々あるツアーから川平湾supと青の洞窟シュノーケルに決め予約しました。当日は風が強く、青の洞窟シュノーケルではなく別の場所でのシュノーケルになりましたが、ガイドさんが色々説明してくれ沢山の魚が見れて楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。午後からの川平湾supはマングローブsupに変更になり川平湾supがしたかったので無料キャンセルしていただきました。そのおりガイドさんからおすすめのお店や体験など教えてもらえすごく良かったです。
また石垣島に行く時はリベンジしたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the starry sky or the coconut crabs due to the weather, but walking through the pitch-black jungle with a flashlight felt like an adventure, and that alone was enough fun! The joy of seriously searching for creatures and discovering something brought me back to my childhood. Our guide, Taku, explained various things about nature and Ishigaki Island, making the travel time enjoyable as well. This is a highly recommended activity that excites both children and adults. I want to try again on a nice day.

あいにくの天候で星空やヤシガニは見ることができませんでしたが、真っ暗なジャングルを懐中電灯片手に歩くのは探検気分でそれだけでも十分楽しめました！
真剣に生き物を探して何か発見したときの嬉しさは童心に返ったようです。
ガイドのタクさんが自然に関すること、石垣島に関することなどを解説してくれて、移動時間中も楽しく過ごすことができました。
子供はもちろんのこと、大人もワクワクするおすすめのアクティビティです。
次は天気が良い日にリベンジしたいです。

My first trip to Miyako Island. I was looking for activity tours and found out about the Pumpkin Cave Exploration Tour. I really wanted to join, so I planned my trip around this tour. Unfortunately, my original reservation (in the afternoon) was canceled... but I managed to change all my other plans and participated the next day (in the afternoon). We canoed to the entrance of the cave, swam inside, saw the pumpkin, climbed the walls to explore the cave, and then dove into the sea from the wall we climbed. It felt like a little adventure, and I had a much more enjoyable time than I had imagined! Also, the guide took commemorative photos at key points and sent the data via LINE that night. Thank you very much. Canoes, life jackets, marine shoes, and wetsuits are available for rent, so as long as you can get to the meeting place, you can participate very easily. I highly recommend this tour when traveling to Miyako Island.

初めての宮古島旅行。宮古島でのアクティビティツアーを探していて、パンプキン鍾乳洞探検ツアーがあることを知りました。ぜひ参加したいと思い、このツアーに参加することをメインに旅行を計画。当初の予約日(午後)は中止になってしまいました…が、他のすべての予定を変更し、翌日(午後)参加することが出来ました。カヌーで鍾乳洞入口付近まで行って→泳ぐように鍾乳洞内に入り→パンプキンを見て→壁をよじ登って鍾乳洞を見学→ 帰りは登った壁から海にダイブ。ちょっとした探検家気分を味わえ、想像していた以上にとても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！あとガイドさんが要所要所で記念撮影して下さって、当日夜にはそのデータをLINEで送って下さいました。ありがとうございました。カヌー・ライフジャケット・マリンシューズ・ウェットスーツなどは貸出ありなので、集合場所まで出向く手段さえあれば、すごく身軽に参加出来ます。宮古島旅行の際には、ぜひおすすめしたいツアーです。

I had a stand-up paddleboarding experience and went snorkeling at Balas Island! It was my first time on a SUP, but we moved slowly together, making it a fun experience! They also shared knowledge about the Iriomote wildcat and nature, allowing us to really connect with the environment!

While snorkeling, I was amazed to swim near a completely white island made of coral and in deeper waters, where I could see so many fish in the crystal-clear sea! I even got to take photos from underwater, which made me very satisfied! Thank you very much!

Sup体験とバラス島でシュノーケリングをしました！
初めてのsupでしたが、みんなでゆっくり進めたので楽しく体験できました！
イリオモテヤマネコや自然についての知識も教えてくださって、自然をいっぱい感じることができました！
シュノーケリングは、サンゴだけでできた真っ白な島の近くと、深いところで泳ぐことできて透明な海で魚をいっぱい見れて感動しました！海の中から写真も撮ってもらえて大満足です！
ありがとうございました！

It was a cloudy day, so I was worried, but as the guide said, "The sea conditions are excellent today," the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and I saw many lovely fish—it was the best time! Our guide, Mr. Kinjo, was very kind and taught us with great care, and the recommended lunch spot was really delicious! If I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely rely on you! ♡

曇りの日だったので心配してましたがガイドさんが「海の状態は今日は最高ですよー」と言ってた通り、青の洞窟も最高に綺麗で、綺麗な魚も沢山見れて最高の時間でした！ガイドのキンジョウさんはとても優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、オススメのランチのお店もすごく美味しかった！沖縄に来たらぜひまたお世話になります♡

We participated as a family of four. In the morning, we took a two-person kayak to get close to Pumpkin Cave, and from there, we entered the sea and walked into the cave. The kayaking instructions were brief, and after that, it was all about determination and spirit. After paddling for a while, we managed to pick up some tips. The current wasn't too strong, so the kids were able to reach the cave as well. Inside Pumpkin Cave, it was mystical and left a lasting impression. After exiting the cave, we kayaked back to the beach. The most physically demanding part was packing up the kayaks once we arrived at the beach.

For lunch, we took a break and then headed to the afternoon meeting point. In the afternoon, we went snorkeling. We entered the sea just a short walk from the meeting point. The water's clarity was breathtaking. We moved around while snorkeling. Towards the end of the activity, just when I thought I was starting to feel a bit seasick, we encountered a sea turtle! I was surprised to find it in relatively shallow water. We observed the sea turtle for a while, and then the activity concluded.

The guide was young but spoke kindly, which was very pleasant. I think this is a luxurious activity tour that you can enjoy for a whole day. I highly recommend it!

家族4人で参加しました。
午前中は、2人乗りカヤックでパンプキン鍾乳洞の近くまで行き、そこから海に入って歩いて鍾乳洞に入って行きます。
カヤックの漕ぎ方は簡単な説明のみで、あとは気合と根性ですかね。しばらく漕いでいるとある程度のコツはつかめるようです。それほど流れが急なわけではないので、子どもたちも鍾乳洞までたどり着けました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞の中は神秘的で、印象に残ります。
鍾乳洞から出たあとは、またカヤックで浜まで帰ります。浜に着いたあと、カヤックの片づけが1番体力必要でしたね。
お昼はいったん解散し各自お昼休憩をとり、再び午後の集合場所に向かいます。
午後はシュノーケリング。
集合場所から歩いてすぐのところで海に入ります。
海の透明度は感激ものです。シュノーケリングしながら場所を移動して行きます。
少し波酔いしてきたかなと思い始めたアクティビティの終わり頃、ウミガメと遭遇！
意外と浅いところにいることに驚きでした。
しばらくウミガメの様子を観察して、アクティビティ終了でした。
ガイドの方は若いですが、優しい物言いで、好感がもてました。
1日楽しめる贅沢なアクティビティツアーだと思います。
オススメです！

My first time in Miyako Island, I was a bit worried it might be cold, but I signed up for some ocean activities. There wasn't much explanation during the gathering for the rental of wetsuits, shoes, and life jackets, which made me a little anxious, but I managed to get by.

We kayaked close to the limestone caves and then entered the sea to explore the caves. It was crowded with other groups and tours, and we had to wait our turn, but it was a mystical experience.

It was a bit disappointing that an older guide from another tour had a somewhat harsh tone.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling with sea turtles. The guide arrived a little after the meeting time. We put on our wetsuits and moved to a nearby beach. The visibility was excellent! We could see the fish clearly.

We moved around a bit while snorkeling, and finally encountered a sea turtle.

The guide was young, but he showed concern for the participants, taking photos at various points, which was nice. It wasn't as cold as I had worried it would be, and I enjoyed the day in my rash guard.

I highly recommend this activity!

初めての宮古島、少し寒いかもと心配しながらも海のアクティビティを申し込みました。
集合から貸し出しのウエットスーツ、シューズ、ライフジャケットの着衣まではあまり説明がなく、少し不安になりましたが、まーそれなりにできました。
鍾乳洞近くまでカヤックで移動、そこから海に入って鍾乳洞へ。他のグループやツアーで、混み合っており、順番待ちがありましたが、神秘的な体験をできました。
他のツアーの年配ガイドさんが、少し強い物言いだったのが少し残念でした。
午後はウミガメシュノーケリング。
集合時間を少し過ぎてガイドが到着。ウエットスーツを来て、すぐ近くの海岸に移動。
透明度抜群！魚も確認できました。
少しずつ場所を移動しながら、シュノーケリング。
最後にウミガメと遭遇出来ました。

ガイドさんは若いですが、参加者を気遣う姿勢がみられ、写真も途中途中で撮ってくれるので、良かったです。
心配していたほど寒くなく、私はラッシュガードで1日楽しめました。
オススメのアクティビティです。

In the morning, I went snorkeling at the Blue Cave, and in the afternoon, I participated in a stand-up paddleboarding tour at Kabira Bay, which was a lot of fun. The guide was kind and provided enjoyable instruction.

Additionally, there was about a 1.5-hour lunch break, during which I could take a shower, which I personally found very nice! The weather wasn't great, and the schedule changed a few times, but the guide was flexible and managed to keep the tour on track, resulting in a very enjoyable experience.

Snorkeling at the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful and moving. I was a beginner at stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, but I received careful instruction and was able to enjoy the experience! I felt a bit disappointed thinking that it could have been even better if the weather had been nice.

One concern I had was that the return transportation was grouped with other tour guests, and since they drop everyone off at their respective hotels or destinations, the last person took quite a while to get back. If you have plans afterward, it might be better to allow for some extra time in your schedule.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable and satisfying experience.

午前中青の洞窟でシュノーケリング、午後は川平湾でサップのツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方も優しく楽しくご指導いただきました。
また、お昼休憩が約1.5時間あり、合間の時間にシャワーを浴びる事ができ、個人的にはとても良かったです！
天候はあまり優れない感じで、日程が二転三転しまそたが、ガイドの方に臨機応変にご対応いただき、結果的には予定通りの日程でとても楽しいツアーになりました。
青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングはとても綺麗で感動しました。
川平湾でのサップは初心者でしたが丁寧に指導いただき、気持ちよく体験する事ができました！
天気が良ければもっと最高だったのかなと思うと少し残念でした…
一つ懸念点があるとしたら帰りの送迎がツアー客でまとまっており、各々のホテルや目的地に送り届けるので最後の人はかなり遅くなってしまうので次の予定を組んでいる場合は余裕をもった日程の方がいいのかなと思いました。
全体的にはとても楽しく満足のいく体験となりました。

We participated for the first time as a family of three. It was my child's first kayaking experience, and a kind staff member taught us how to paddle.

Although it was a bit windy that day, we paddled hard while enjoying the views of Kabira Bay, peeking into the water, and admiring the sea and coastline. It was a fun experience.

We also got off the kayak to explore and learned about the island and the fish. My child was very happy.

Next time, I hope to come on a nice day. Thank you very much.

家族3人ではじめて参加しました。
子どもははじめてのカヤック体験でしたが親切にお兄さんが教えてくれました。

当日は風が強めでしたが一生懸命にカヤックを漕ぎながら、川平湾の景色を見たり、海の中を覗いたり海や海岸線を見たり、楽しい体験でした。

途中でカヤックから降りて散策をして島のことや魚のことを話していただきました。子どもも喜んでました。

今度は天気が良い日にまた来たいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I went in mid-March. Since it wasn't yet the hot season, I was told that the coconut crabs wouldn't be very active, but thanks to our guide, we found one about five minutes into the tour, which was exciting! After that, everyone in the tour had fun spotting three more crabs, as well as finding hermit crabs and geckos, which really got us all excited.

Looking up, we were able to see a beautiful starry sky that we usually can't see, which was very soothing, and we were surprised by quite a large fruit bat. In the end, we were even sent off by an owl, which is rarely seen, making it a very satisfying tour.

I experienced excitement and emotions that I can’t find in my daily life. Thank you very much.

３月半ばに行きました。
まだ暑い季節ではないので、ヤシガニが活発に動き出す時期ではないとの事でしたが、ツアー開始５分くらいで、ヤシガニさんを見つけたのは、感激＆ガイドさんのおかげです♪
その後も、ツアー参加の皆さんと、あそこにいる〜いない〜等と楽しみながらまた３匹も見れた上に、オカヤドカリやヤモリを見つけて大盛りあがりしたり。
上を見上げれば、普段は見れないキレイな星空がたくさん見れて癒やされたり、けっこう大きいフルーツバット(コウモリ)にビックリしたり。
最後は、滅多に見れない？フクロウが見送ってくれたりと、大盛り大満足なツアーでした。

日常では絶対味わえない、ワクワクや感動を貰えました。ありがとうございました。

In mid-March, I participated in a tour that included snorkeling, canoeing, and visiting the Pumpkin Cave with my son, who was celebrating his birthday that day. The weather was cloudy. We snorkeled at Shigira Beach. Although the water felt a bit cold, wearing the wetsuit we rented made the temperature manageable. It had actually been 20 years since I last snorkeled. When I put on the snorkel and tried to swim in deeper water where I couldn't touch the bottom, I suddenly felt scared and my breathing became shallow. However, our guide, Miho, kindly encouraged me until I got used to the water, and she provided me with a float, which allowed me to swim with confidence. I learned that panicking in the ocean is the most dangerous thing. After that, I held hands with my son, who quickly got used to the water despite it being his first time, and we explored the fish among the corals (holding hands and grabbing the float made me feel secure).

We didn't see any sea turtles as they were out, but we did get to see cute clownfish up close. Even with the cloudy weather, the underwater scenery was beautiful, especially the corals. While some corals in shallow areas were dead, the deeper corals were abundant in variety (I heard there are about 300 types of corals in Miyako Island) and reminded me of the world from the movie Avatar: The Way of Water that I had watched recently.

Since I didn't rent a car, I requested a separate fee for lunch and transportation to the afternoon points. I hadn't thought about where to have lunch, so I consulted with Miho and we decided to go to Shigira Golden Hot Spring. This turned out to be a great decision; although it was a short time, I warmed up my chilled body in the hot spring and finished eating Miyako soba and taco rice by the poolside just as Miho came to pick us up for the afternoon points. During the drive, she shared various information about Miyako Island with us.

In the afternoon, the weather cleared up a bit, and we went to Pumpkin Cave by sea kayak from Boraga Beach. Kayaking through some slightly larger waves was exciting and felt amazing! Then came the cave exploration, which I had been looking forward to the most. The locals refer to it as Ryugu Castle, a sacred place, so we bowed twice before entering.

Inside, it was dark, but the water surface near the entrance glowed a mystical blue from the light coming in from outside. The entrance was surprisingly small, but inside it had depth and height, with mystical terraced formations and curtain-like stalactites as we ventured further in. I won’t spoil the details, but as a stalactite cave enthusiast, I was continuously amazed, wondering if it was really okay to be so close and to enter such a place. It became an unforgettable memory. It was a truly majestic and mysterious location. The afternoon tour was nothing short of an adventure. I was glad to participate with my child. We took many wonderful two-shot photos together during the tour, which became a lovely souvenir.

I am grateful to our kind guide Miho, who checked on us and arranged for our taxi after the tour!

(Son's impression)
Snorkeling was just looking down and breathing through my mouth while listening to the guide, and I got to observe a world like Finding Nemo! I saw Dory and Nemo too! I didn't see any dangerous creatures at all! The cave exploration was a bit scary because there was no footing, but the life jacket floated so much that even adults wouldn't sink. Floating was fun!

3月中旬、シュノーケリング→カヌー→パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーに、当日誕生日の小学生の息子と2人で参加しました。
天候は曇り。シュノーケリングはシギラビーチ。少しだけ冷たいと感じる海の中、お借りしたウェットスーツを着ていれば気にならない水温でした。実はシュノーケリングは20年ぶり。いざシュノーケルをつけて足のつかない深さに泳ごうとすると急に怖くなり呼吸が浅くなってしまったのですが、ガイドのミホさんが水に慣れるまで、優しく声をかけて付き添ってくれて、浮き輪を持たせてくれたりしたので、安心して泳ぎ出すことができました。海はパニックになるのが1番危険とのこと。その後も、初めてなのに一瞬で海に慣れた息子と手を繋ぎながらサンゴの間のお魚を見て回りました（手を繋いだり浮き輪を掴んでると安心でした）。
ウミガメはお出かけ中で会えませんでしたが、かわいいクマノミはバッチリ近くで見れました。曇りでも海の中は綺麗でした。
特にサンゴ。浅いところのサンゴは死んでいるエリアもあったのですが、深いところのサンゴは豊富な種類で（宮古島では300種類？のサンゴがあるそうです）豊かで多様な生き物に先日観た映画アバター　ウェイオブウォーターの世界を思い出しました。

私はレンタカーを借りてなかったので、お昼を食べる場所と午後のポイントまでの送迎を別料金でお願いしました。ランチをどうするか考えてなかったので、ガイドのミホさんと相談してシギラ黄金温泉に送ってもらいました。これが大正解で、短い時間でしたがシュノーケリングで冷えた身体をシギラ温泉で温め、プールサイドで宮古そばとタコライスを食べ終わった頃にちょうどミホさんがお迎えに来てくれて、午後のポイントへは、宮古島のことをいろいろ教えてもらいながらドライブ。
午後は少し晴れてきて、ボラガービーチからシーカヤックでパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。途中少し大きな波にワクワクしながらのカヤック、気持ち良くて最高でした！
そして宮古島で1番楽しみにしていた鍾乳洞探検。地元の方は竜宮城と呼んでいる神聖な場所ということで二拍一礼してから入ります。
中は暗いのですが、入り口付近の水面は外から入る光で神秘的なブルー。
入り口はびっくりするぐらい小さいのですが、中は奥行きも高さもあり、奥に行くほど神秘的な棚田型の鍾乳洞や、カーテンのような鍾乳洞があります。詳細は行ってのお楽しみで書きませんが、鍾乳洞好きの私には、こんな近くで見て良いの？こんなところに入って良いの？の驚きの連続で、一生忘れられない思い出になりました。とても荘厳で不思議な場所でした。まさに午後のツアーは冒険の一言につきました。子供と参加できて良かったです。ツアー中たくさん息子とのツーショットを撮っていただき素敵なお土産になりました。
ツアー終了後、お迎えのタクシーの手配など心配して声を掛けてくださった優しいガイドのミホさんに感謝です！　　

（息子の感想）
シュノーケリングは下向いて口で息吸ってガイドの人の言うこと聞けばファインディングニモ観たいな世界を観察するだけ！ドリーとかニモもいます！危険生物は自分が見た限り一匹もいませんでした！
洞窟探検は足場がなくてびびるけどライフジャケットが笑っちゃうくらい浮くので大人でも絶対に沈みません浮くの楽しいです。

The canoe ride to the limestone cave was very hard, but since it was something I don't usually do, I really enjoyed it. The cave was very mystical, and I was deeply moved to learn from the guide about the vast amount of time it took to form. Thanks to our guide Yamato, I felt very safe and was able to enjoy the tour. I made wonderful memories of Miyako Island.

鍾乳洞までのカヌーはとてもハードでしたが、普段やらないことなのでとても楽しめました。鍾乳洞はとても神秘的で、ガイドの方の説明を聞いて膨大な時間で作られていることを知り、とても感動しました。今回のツアーはガイドのヤマトさんのおかげでとても安心して楽しめました。宮古島のよい思い出ができました。
