All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

On the day of participation, it was cloudy from the morning, and I felt disappointed thinking that I wouldn't be able to see the starry sky. However, by night, it cleared up a bit, and I was able to see beautiful stars!

Additionally, I got to see creatures like fireflies and coconut crabs that I normally wouldn't encounter. I was taken to places I couldn't go on my own, making this stay a memorable experience. I wasn't able to take good photos myself, but later, I received some beautiful pictures. I'm grateful to the guide who took care of us. Thank you very much.

参加日は、朝から曇で、星空は期待できないなと残念な気持ちで参加したのですが、夜になったら、少し晴れて、きれいな星を見ることができました！
また、ホタルやヤシガニ等、普段見ることのできない生物をみることもできました。
自分たちではいけないところに連れて行ってもらえて、今回の滞在では、一便の思い出になりました。自分ではうまく写真が取れませんでしたが、後できれいな写真も送ってもらえました。お世話になったガイドさんに感謝です。ありがとうございました。

My first time in Miyako Island and I finally got to go snorkeling!

To be honest, I was really anxious at first, but thanks to the clear explanations from our instructor, Yamato, and his thoughtful attention to each participant, I felt very reassured and was able to enjoy myself. The underwater world was a beautiful landscape of coral reefs and tropical fish, like a stunning scene from a dragon palace. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I did see clownfish, making it the best snorkeling experience ever.

In the afternoon, we went sea kayaking to the Pumpkin Cave, which was even more amazing than I had imagined. Jumping into the cave felt completely safe and was such a refreshing dive! I had an experience that words can't even describe.

Yamato took lots of photos and videos for us and sent the data the same day, which really impressed me with his quick work. Thank you so much for everything; it turned out to be a wonderful and memorable wedding anniversary.

Next time, I want to challenge myself with SUP as well. I look forward to it!

初めての宮古島で念願だったシュノーケリング
実は最初はとても不安でしたが、インストラクターの大和さんの分かりやすい説明と参加者皆さん一人一人へのお声掛けや気遣いにとても安心して楽しむことが出来ました
海の中は珊瑚礁と熱帯魚の美しい世界が広がってまるで竜宮城のような素晴らしい景色でした
残念ながらウミガメには出会う事は出来ませんでしたがカクレクマノミも観られて最高のシュノーケリングでした

午後からのシーカヤックで行くパンプキン鍾乳洞
これが想像以上の素晴らしさ
鍾乳洞からの飛び込みは怖さを全く感じる事なく気持ち良くダイブ！！
もう言葉では現せない程最高の経験をする事が出来ました

大和さんにはたくさん写真や動画を撮ってもらい、その日のうちにデータで送って頂き仕事の早さにもびっくりです
たくさんお世話になりありがとうございました
想い出に残る素敵な素敵な結婚記念日になりました

次回はSUPにもチャレンジしたいと思ってます
また是非よろしくお願いします

Although it was sunny, I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars due to the many clouds, but I was deeply moved by the sky, which looked like a perfect planetarium. I was able to see constellations that I usually can't see and heard many stories related to them. I also saw creatures like firefly larvae, geckos, and hermit crabs, and had the experience of touching a snake. I hoped to see a coconut crab, and when I learned that the weather forecast predicted rain early the next day, which created perfect humidity conditions, I was successful in seeing one. I was surprised to hear that locals eat coconut crabs when fishing is allowed. I had a wealth of experiences and truly created wonderful memories. I'm glad I participated.

晴れてはいましたが雲が多かったので星が見えるかどうか心配していましたが、満点のプラネタリウムのような星空でとても感動しました。普段見られない星座も見られ、星座にまつわるお話もたくさん聞けました。生き物では蛍の幼虫やヤモリ、ヤドカリを見られ、ヘビを触る体験もできました。そして念願のヤシガニが見れるといいなと思っていたら、翌日未明が雨予報という絶好の湿度条件も重なり、見ることに成功。地元の人は漁が解禁になればヤシガニを食べるという話には驚きました。盛りだくさんの体験ができて本当に楽しい思い出が作れました。参加してよかったです。

I used this tour for my graduation trip from university. Due to weather conditions, the Blue Cave tour was changed to the Phantom Island, but it was a very fulfilling activity where I could fully enjoy the nature of Ishigaki Island. Since we received the photos taken by the guide during the tour, we were able to capture plenty of memories without needing to bring a waterproof camera. Since I participated in March, the temperature wasn't very warm, and it was a bit chilly on the boat, so I think it would be comfortable to bring a long-sleeved jacket that you don't mind getting wet if you participate around March.

大学の卒業旅行で本ツアーを利用しました。
天候の都合で青の洞窟ツアーから幻の島に変更になりましたが、石垣島の自然を満喫することができるとても充実したアクティビティでした。
ツアー中ガイドの方が撮影した写真をデータを受け取る事ができるため防水カメラなどを持参しなくても、十分に思い出を写真に残す事ができました。
今回3月に参加したこともあり気温はそこまで暖かくなかったため、船の上は少し肌寒かったので、3月ごろに参加される際は濡れてもいい長袖の上着等を持っていくと快適に過ごせるかと思います。

Yamato, our guide, was very kind! He had a wealth of knowledge about the limestone caves, snorkeling, corals, and fish, and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I had no worries at all; it was just really fun. Meeting a sea turtle was the highlight! I also got to experience this with Yacchi, who was in training, and it truly became an unforgettable and precious time! Next time, I want to join again with Yamato and Yacchi as guides when the weather is nice. Thank you so much for such a fun time! The photos are beautiful and a treasure.

ガイドのやまとさん。とても親切でした‼︎
鍾乳洞、シュノーケル、珊瑚、魚のことなど知識も豊富でわかりやすく、丁寧に色々教えていただきました。何も不安なく、ただ本当に楽しかったです。海ガメにも出会えて最高でした！
研修中ガイドのやっちとも一緒に体験できて、とにかく一生忘れられない貴重な時間となりました！次は天気が良いときに、再度やまとさんややっちのガイドで参加したいです＾＾本当に楽しい時間をありがとうございました！お写真も綺麗で宝物です☺︎

My first experience with diving! I had some anxiety and fear, but there was one diver for every two people, which made me feel safe as we proceeded slowly. The staff were all very kind and made it fun, and they took a lot of photos, which was amazing! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see the sea turtles I had always wanted to see, so I was very satisfied. It was also great that things like lunch and towel rentals were included, so I didn't have to carry too much luggage.

初めての体験ダイビング！不安や怖さもありましたが、2人に対してダイバーさん1人付いてゆっくりすすめてくれるので安心でした☆スタッフさんみんな優しくて楽しませてくれるし写真もいっぱい撮ってくれて最高でした！！海もめちゃくちゃ綺麗やし念願のウミガメもしっかり見れて大満足★
お弁当とかタオルレンタルとか組み込まれてるので荷物も多くならず有り難かったです。

I participated on the last day of my trip. The day before, I received a phone call with directions to the meeting place, and on the day itself, I drove to the location. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the wind was calm, and the underwater scenery was beautiful.

They provided us with important points to note and instructions on how to use the oars. After that, a staff member was assigned to each group to assist us during the kayaking. They lent me a waterproof case for my smartphone, so I was able to take photos myself. Additionally, they filmed videos with a drone from above the sea and shared the data with me via AirDrop after we finished.

I was able to take very beautiful photos and was extremely satisfied. I would like to use their services again.

旅の最終日に参加しました。
前日に電話で集合場所の案内があり、当日は車で現地に向かいました。
あいにく曇りではありましたが、風が落ち着いており海中は綺麗に観れました。
注意点やオールの使い方を教えて頂き、その後1グループに1名スタッフがついてカヤック中にフォローをいただきました。
スマートフォンの防水ケースを貸していただけたので自分で写真を撮りました。また、海の上からドローンで動画撮影をしてくださり、終了後にエアドロップでデータをいただきました。
とても綺麗な写真が撮れて大変満足いたしました。また利用したいと思います。

Before participating, I had various concerns, but staff member Yamato said, "I will help you," and provided support, which made for a truly wonderful experience.

参加する前は、色々不安がありましたが、スタッフのヤマトさんが「 お手伝いします」と言ってサポートして下さったので、とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

I participated because I wanted to see the wildlife and starry sky of Ishigaki Island. However, it was cold on the day of the event, and unfortunately, it was cloudy with occasional rain, so I couldn't see the stars or the wildlife, which was disappointing. But the guide shared various stories, so I still enjoyed myself. I would like to participate again in the summer.

石垣島の生き物や星空を見たくて参加しました。
しかし当日は寒くあいにく曇りで時々雨で、星も生き物も見れなくて残念でしたが、ガイドさんが色々なお話をしてくれたので楽しめました。
夏にまた参加したいです。

The weather was nice, and the Kerama Blue was beautiful! I also got to see sea turtles, and the clarity of the water was outstanding. The staff were all very nice!

天気が良くて綺麗な慶良間ブルーでした！
ウミガメにも会えたし、透明度も抜群。
スタッフさんもみんないい方でした！

The first half of the canoeing was with university students who were doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It had been a while since I last went canoeing, but they took a lot of photos and provided various explanations about nature, making it a very valuable experience.

For lunch, we were dropped off near Euglena Mall and had the freedom to eat until the designated time.

During the second half, we headed to the Blue Cave, and I was worried about whether we could experience it due to the heavy rain on the way there. However, by the time we arrived, it had turned into light rain, and although it was cold, we were able to enjoy the experience. They also took many photos here.

If I had to mention something, I was a bit disappointed that there weren't as many fish as I expected, possibly due to the season or the rain. But since this is nature, it can't be helped.

Overall, it was a fun experience.

前半のカヌーは、SUPの大学生と一緒でした。
久しぶりのカヌーでしたが、写真もいっぱい撮ってくださり
自然の説明も色々してもらったりで、大変貴重な体験となりました。

お昼は、ユーグレナモール近辺で降ろしてもらい、時間まで自由に食事を
とってくださいというスタイルでした。

後半の青の洞窟は、向かう最中が、めちゃくちゃ豪雨だったため
体験できるか心配でしたが、現地に着くころは小雨になっており
寒い中でしたが、体験することができました。
ここでも写真をいっぱい撮っていただきました。

しいていえば、時期的なものか、雨が降ったからかはわかりませんが
思ったより、魚がいなかったのが残念でした。
こればっかりは自然のものなので、仕方ありません。

トータルとしても、楽しかったです。

To put it mildly, it was amazing. The other participants were all nice people, and it became a fun memory. Here are the good and bad points:

Good points:
- The guide was fun and engaging.
- Although it was cloudy at first, the weather didn't matter much inside the cave.
- The cave was mystical and absolutely fantastic.

Bad points:
- Carrying the canoe at the end was unexpectedly difficult.
- There were many people from other tours, so we had to wait a bit to enter.

控えめに言って最高でした
他の参加者もいい人ばかりで楽しい思い出になりました、以下良かったこと、悪かったことです

よかったこと
　お兄さんが楽しく案内してくれた
　最初は曇り空だったが洞窟の中は天気があまり関係なかった
　洞窟は神秘的で最高でした。

悪かったことは
　最後にカヌーを運んでいくのが思いのほか大変だった
　他のツアーの人もたくさんいたので入るのに少し待ったことです

Although it rained occasionally and strong winds prevented us from going out to sea, I had a great time chatting and having fun with my friends. The staff kindly taught us how to maneuver the kayak safely in the wind, as well as where the sea was deep and where there were many fish (like the clownfish spot). Even though it was raining, when I later watched the drone footage, the sea looked incredibly beautiful, and I received an amazing video that became a wonderful memory of the trip. The staff were very kind and even accommodated additional reservations on the day. I particularly connected with a staff member from Tohoku, so when I visit Miyakojima again, I would love to try different activities!

雨が時折降ってきたり強風で沖には出ませんでしたが、仲間たちとワイワイしながらとても楽しめました。スタッフさんが、危険がないよう風の中のカヤックの動き方や海が深い場所、魚が多くいる場所(クマノミのスポット)を優しく教えていただきました。雨降りでしたがドローン撮影したのを後から見たら海はめちゃくちゃ綺麗で最高の動画も頂き素敵な旅の思い出となりました。スタッフの皆さんも親切にしていただき当日の追加予約も快く体験させてくれました！特に東北出身のスタッフさんとは話があったのでまた宮古島に行った際には違うアクティビティも体験させていただきたいと思います！

The Iriomote Island mangrove canoe tour was a lot of fun as we enjoyed the scenery while canoeing, observing the butterflies and plants that inhabit Iriomote Island. Throughout the tour, the guide provided explanations about the butterflies and plants of Iriomote Island, as well as the lives of the local people.

The water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island takes you across the water from Iriomote Island to Yubu Island. Yubu Island is a botanical garden, where we could also see butterflies and plants. On the way back, we rode the water buffalo cart back to Iriomote Island. Inside the cart, we were treated to traditional sanshin music, which added to the tropical atmosphere and was very enjoyable.

西表島マングローブカヌーツアーはカヌーをしながら景色をみて、西表島に生息する蝶や、植物をみながら楽しめるので非常に楽しかったです。ツアー中はずっとガイドの方が西表島の蝶や植物、西表島の人々の暮らしなど説明していただけます。
由布島の水牛車は水の上を水牛車で渡り西表島から由布島に向かいます。由布島は植物園になっており、ここでも蝶や植物をみることができました。帰りも水牛車に乗り西表島へ向かいます。水牛車の中では三線を引いて頂けるので南国らしさ満開でとても良かったです。

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。

I was lucky to be the only participant that day, so I received one-on-one instruction from the instructor, Komecchi-kun, and was able to swim at my own pace. I got to take lots of photos and videos swimming with sea turtles! ♡

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and I was very satisfied to see so many sea turtles. There were about seven, and at one point, I was able to see three at once, which surprised me!

It was also my first time swimming at Shinjo Beach, but since it was shallow, I could enjoy it without fear. There were also cute fish, making it perfect for snorkeling beginners. The availability of a simple shower was great too. I think it was 100 yen for four minutes? You can change there, which is nice for women. I’m thinking of bringing shampoo and body soap next time.

I will definitely go swimming at Shinjo Beach again! ♡

たまたま参加者が私だけの日だったので、インストラクターのこめっちくんにマンツーマンで教えてもらいながら自分のペースで泳がせてもらえて、ウミガメと一緒に泳いでる写真や動画を沢山撮ってもらえてラッキーでした♡

初めての宮古島で沢山のウミガメに会えて大満足です。7匹くらいいて一度に3匹見れるタイミングもあって、こんなにいるの！と驚きました。

新城海岸で泳ぐのも初めてでしたが、浅いので恐怖心なく楽しめたし、可愛いお魚もいたのでシュノーケリング初心者には最高でした。
簡易シャワーがあるのも良かったです。100円で4分だったかな？そこで着替えられるし女性には嬉しい。今度シャンプーとかボディソープ持って行っちゃおうと思いました。

絶対また新城海岸に泳ぎに行きます♡

✨We challenged ourselves to snorkeling for the first time as a family!‍♂️✨ We were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the blue ocean that spread out before us. I was moved by the beautiful fish and the stunning coral reefs that I saw up close for the first time.

Before snorkeling, I had various worries, such as whether I could breathe underwater and if I would know how to move in the sea. However, thanks to our instructor, Tetsu, who taught us patiently, we were able to get used to it quickly.

Once we entered the water, it felt like we had stepped into a new world✨. We were welcomed by coral reefs and various fish that we usually don't see. The colorful fish swam around us, and I was mesmerized by the beauty of the coral reefs. Swimming underwater was different from usual; it felt like I was swimming like a fish‍♂️. I was surprised by the variety of fish! We even got to see clownfish, coral, and sea turtles, making for a truly luxurious experience. Each creature had its own personality, and I was happy to observe each one.

Through snorkeling, I was able to learn about the ocean. I felt like we became a part of the diverse life that exists underwater. Additionally, I was able to face myself in the ocean and felt a sense of inner peace‍♂️.

We also paddled to Pumpkin Hall. The tide was high, and I was a bit worried about the rough waves, but we arrived without any issues. Once we entered Pumpkin Hall, the water got deeper, and I felt anxious because I couldn't touch the bottom, but wearing a life jacket helped me float, and my anxiety quickly turned into a sense of security. I want those who are not good at swimming to know that there’s no need to worry. We had a rare experience that could only be accessed from the sea, climbing and jumping while listening to explanations in a mystical limestone cave.

We were blessed with good weather and sea conditions, and I had a wonderful experience, feeling grateful for various people and nature. I definitely want to repeat this experience!✨ Thank you for a lovely day.

With a small group and safety measures in place, I encourage everyone to try the snorkeling and canoeing adventure at Pumpkin Hall!‍♂️✨

✨家族で初めてシュノーケリングに挑戦しました！‍♂️✨目の前に広がる海の青さに、息をのむほど美しい海の世界に魅了されました 初めて身近に目にする美しい魚たちや珊瑚礁の美しさに感動しました

シュノーケリングをする前は様々な心配事がありました水中で息をすることができるのか、海の中での動き方がわからないのではないか等です。しかし、インストラクターのテツさんが丁寧に教えてくださったため、すぐに慣れることができました

海の中に入ると、私たちは新しい世界に足を踏み入れたような感覚を覚えました✨普段私たちが目にすることのない、珊瑚礁や様々な魚たちが私たちを迎えてくれました綺麗な色の魚たちが私たちの周りを泳ぎ、珊瑚礁の美しさには見惚れました水中で泳ぐことは普段とは異なり、まるで自分が魚のように泳いでいるような感覚を覚えました‍♂️色々な種類の魚がいて驚きました！クマノミやサンゴ、ウミガメにも会うことができ、とても贅沢な時間を過ごすことができましたそれぞれの生き物には個性があり、その一つ一つを観察することができたのが嬉しかったです

シュノーケリングを通じて、海について学ぶことができました海の中には多様な生き物が存在し、私たちはその一部になれたような気がしましたまた、海の中で自分自身と向き合うことができ、心の平静さを感じることができました‍♂️

そして、パンプキンホールには、カヌーを漕いで行きました大潮だったので少し波が荒く心配しましたが、問題なく到着できましたパンプキンホールに入ると水深が深くなり足がつかなく不安になりましたが、ライフジャケットを着ているとしっかりと浮いて、あっという間に不安が安心感に変わりました泳ぎが苦手な方にも心配ない事を知って欲しいと思いました神秘的な鍾乳洞で説明を聞きながら登ったり飛び降りたりと海からしか行けない貴重な体験ができました

天気にも海況にも恵まれ、素晴らしい体験ができ、様々な方や自然界に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです 是非またリピートしたいと思います✨素敵な一日をありがとうございました

少人数制で感染対策も安心。シュノーケリングとカヌーでのパンプキンホール冒険、みなさんももぜひ試してみてくださいね！‍♂️✨

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。

I participated in this tour because I really wanted to see wild coconut crabs on Ishigaki Island. I was worried about whether I would be able to see them since the temperature was a bit chilly, but the guide seriously searched for them, and I was able to see the wild coconut crabs I had longed for! Wild individuals are truly beautiful!!

The guide was very kind and funny, sharing many local stories. I joined the tour on the night before my last day on Ishigaki Island, but I think those with more time could participate earlier and visit recommended spots.

I was struggling to find a place for dinner, but on the way back, the guide recommended a great izakaya, and I decided to check it out! The tempura of pandanus fruit and the jimami tofu were the best! Thank you for sharing so much information! I will definitely join this tour again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

石垣島でどうしても野生のヤシガニが見たく参加しました。
気温も肌寒いくらいで見れるか不安でしたがガイドさんが真剣に探してくださり念願の野生のヤシガニ見ることができました！
やっぱり野生個体は美しい！！
とても優しく面白いガイドさんで地元ならではの話をたくさんしてくれます。
私は石垣島最終日前日の夜に参加しましたが時間に余裕のある方は前半に参加してオススメスポットに行くのもありかなと思いました。
夜ご飯に困ってたのですが帰り道にオススメ居酒屋さんを教えてくださり行ってみました！
アダンの実の天ぷらとジーマミー豆腐が最高でした！色々と教えてくださりありがとうございました！
また石垣島行った際にはこのツアーに参加します！

This was my second time snorkeling at SAP and Balas Island. No matter how many times I go, I'm always healed by the beautiful sea and the nature-filled jungle! The staff were very kind and took a lot of photos for us! I highly recommend it.

2回目のSAPとバラス島シュノーケリング。
何度行っても綺麗な海と自然いっぱいのジャングルに癒されます！
スタッフの方もとても優しく写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました！とてもおすすめです。

It was my first time in Miyako Island and my first time snorkeling, and it was so much fun! At first, I accidentally drank a lot of seawater and panicked, but once I got used to it, I was able to swim smoothly. There was a note saying that you can't always see sea turtles, so I was wondering about that, but I was able to see more than I expected, which was great!

初めての宮古島で初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが楽しかったです！
はじめ海水をたくさん飲んでしまってパニックになってしまったのですが慣れたらスイスイ泳げました^ ^
海亀も必ず見れるとは限らないという注意書きがあったのでどうかな？と思っていたけれど予想以上にたくさん見ることができてよかったです！

On the day of the tour, it was raining around noon, so there were muddy areas and slippery spots, but they lent us rubber boots, allowing us to step into the jungle without any issues. In fact, they mentioned that the conditions were favorable for spotting coconut crabs. True to their word, we were able to find a large coconut crab.

It was a pity that we couldn't enjoy stargazing due to the cloudy sky, but I think it was just the luck of the day regarding the weather. Additionally, they sent us photos from the day via LINE after the tour ended.

当日はお昼頃に雨が降っていたので、ぬかるんでいる場所や滑りやすいところもありましたが、長靴を貸してくれたので、問題なく安心してジャングルに足を踏み入れることができました。むしろ、ヤシガニが出やすいコンディションと教えてくれました。その言葉の通り、大きなヤシガニを見つけることができました。
空は曇っていたので、星空鑑賞ができなかったのは残念でしたが、天候に関しては当日の運かと思います。
また、当日の写真も体験ツアー終了後にLINEで送っていただきました。

We gathered at the remote island terminal and were taken by van. The guide shared various information about Ishigaki Island and kept the conversation lively, making the journey very enjoyable! And even from the van, looking up through the window, the starry sky was unbelievably beautiful…! I couldn't help but feel excited about how stunning it would be to see it in the dark forest without any lights.

After arriving, we entered the forest from a spot that made me think, "We're going in here!?" It was full of an adventurous spirit! I was very lucky to encounter native plants and animals, especially the large coconut crab. After walking for a while, we reached the coast, enjoyed the night sea, and when we turned off the lights to look up at the night sky… there was an overwhelming beauty that was beyond words. I had no idea such a starry sky existed! I gave up on taking photos with my iPhone because it couldn't capture it, but the scene is still etched in my memory and will be unforgettable for a lifetime!

It was the best tour experience, encountering unique Ishigaki Island creatures, witnessing a sky full of stars with over 80 constellations visible, and connecting with the island's magnificent nature. The guide's humorous talk is also a must-listen!

While enjoying a wonderful meal and fine drinks at night is great, if you visit Ishigaki Island, you should definitely participate in this night tour at least once! Absolutely!!

*Note: It seems that large luggage like suitcases cannot be brought along. Since the remote island terminal closes at certain times and using coin lockers is not an option, it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum!

離島ターミナルに集合、ワゴン車で連れて行ってもらいました。
ガイドの方からは石垣島の色んな情報や軽快なトークをしていただき、道中でもとても楽しめました！
そして車内の時点で既に、窓から見上げると信じられないほど綺麗な星空が…！
明かりのない森の中で見るとどれだけ美しいのかと、ワクワクが止まりませんでした。

到着後は「ここから入るの！？」という場所から森に入っていきます。探検感が満載！
自生している植物や生き物、特に大きなヤシガニ出会うことができたのはとてもラッキーでした。
しばらく歩いていくと海岸に出て、夜の海を楽しみつつ、ライトを消して夜空を見上げると…
言葉にできないほど圧巻の美しさがそこにはありました。こんな星空があったのか！
iPhoneのカメラでは再現性がなく写真撮影は断念しましたが、いまでも瞼に焼き付いていて、一生忘れられない光景となりました！

石垣島固有の生物との出会い、80以上の星座を目視できるという満天の星空、石垣島特有の大自然と触れ合った最高のツアー体験となりました。
ガイドさんのユーモアあふれるトークも必聴です！笑

素敵な食事や美酒に酔いしれる夜も良いですが、石垣島に訪れた際は最低でも一夜はこのナイトツアーに参加するべきです！絶対！！

※注意点
トランクケースなど大型の荷物は持ち込むことが出来ないようです。
離島ターミナルも閉まってしまう時間帯でコインロッカーの使用も望めないので、荷物は最小限で臨むのがベストです！

I wonder if the mangrove forest was necessary; I could have spent that time at Daishi Forest Mountain instead. I could hardly hear the bus travel guide recording.

マングローブ原生林は、要らなかったかな、その時間を大石林山に回していればなー、バス移動のレコーダー案内はほとんど聴き取れなかった。

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！

My first trip to Miyako Island.
I participated in a tour plan with two girls that allowed us to fully enjoy the sea of Miyako Island, including Pumpkin Cave, snorkeling, and canoeing. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but we powered through it.
First, we experienced snorkeling in the morning. We were continuously amazed and moved by the beauty of the sea around Miyako Island. We saw corals, many fish, and even the long-awaited sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.
In the afternoon, we had the Pumpkin Cave and canoeing experience. We traveled to the cave by kayak. At first, we struggled to move forward unless we paddled together, but once we got the hang of it, we were able to pick up speed and it was fun. It might require a bit of physical strength. Also, the cave revealed a mystical and fantastical view after climbing the walls. On the way back, we experienced the thrill of jumping into the sea from the wall we climbed, which was exhilarating. Even I, who have a fear of heights, managed to jump.
It was a very enjoyable tour, and the time flew by. We were taken care of by two guides who were very thorough and easy to understand in their explanations. They constantly checked in with us during the tour, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. Thank you very much.
I made wonderful memories.
This is definitely a tour I recommend experiencing when you visit Miyako Island.

初の宮古島旅行。
パンプキン鍾乳洞、シュノーケリング、カヌーと宮古島の海を満喫できるツアープランに女子２人で参加しました。天候はあいにくの曇りで、少し肌寒さはありましたが、気合いで乗り切りました。
まず、午前中にシュノーケリング体験。宮古島の海の綺麗さに驚きと感動の連続でした。サンゴやたくさんの魚、さらに念願のウミガメを見ることができ、とても満足です。
午後はパンプキン鍾乳洞とカヌー体験。鍾乳洞まではカヤックで移動しました。２人で力を合わせて漕がないと前に進まず初め手こずりましたが、コツを掴むとスピードも出せて楽しかったです。ちょっと体力は必要かも。また、鍾乳洞は壁を登った先に神秘的で幻想的な景色が広がっていました。帰りは登った壁から海に飛び込むスリルさも体験でき、ワクワク感を味わえました。高所恐怖症の私でも飛び込めました。
とても楽しいツアーで、時間があっという間でした。今回、２人のガイドさんにお世話になりました。説明が丁寧でわかりやすく、ツアー中は常に声をかけてくださり、安心してツアーに参加することが出来ました。ありがとうございます。
最高の思い出ができました。
宮古島旅行に来た際はぜひ、体験してほしいツアーです。オススメです。

I had the best experience thanks to the wonderful weather and the friendly staff! I participated with my 1-year and 3-month-old child, and there were plenty of life jackets available in various sizes, so we were able to choose the right fit! Through the clear kayak, we encountered many colorful fish and, fortunately, even a sea turtle! At the end of the experience, we received high-quality photos and an edited video using a drone, and I am extremely satisfied!

天候と明るく親切なスタッフに恵まれ最高の体験をさせていただきました！！1歳3ヶ月の子供と一緒に体験しましたが、ライフジャケットもたくさんのサイズが用意されていて、しっかりと体に合ったものを選んで着用させてもらいました！

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

I wanted to fully enjoy Okinawa, so I joined this tour! Since they provide rubber boots for rent, there was no need for special preparation, and it was great that the guide took lots of photos, allowing us to enter the jungle hands-free without even bringing our smartphones! Depending on the season and timing, the guide found a coconut crab, and we were able to take pictures together.

The real one was much larger and more impressive than what I had seen in photos, and I was really glad to see it! Unfortunately, we couldn't see the stars, but it was a very satisfying tour.

During the exploration, and even while moving, the guide shared stories about the island, which was really enjoyable! They also told us about many hidden spots, so I definitely want to check them out! (*^^*)

　沖縄を堪能したいと思い、このツアーに参加しました！長靴の貸出があるので事前準備は特に必要ないですし、ガイドさんが沢山写真も撮って下さるので、スマホも持たずに手ぶらでジャングルに入ることができとても良かったです！時期やタイミングによると思いますが、ガイドさんがヤシガニを見つけてくれ、一緒に写真を撮ることが出来ました。
本物は写真で見ていたよりも大きく迫力があり、見ることができて良かったなと思いました！
星は残念ながら見ることが出来ませんでしたが、とても満足したツアーでした。
探検中はもちろんのこと、移動中もガイドさんが島の話をして下さり本当に楽しかったです！
穴場スポットも沢山教えて頂いたので是非行ってみたいと思います(*^^*
