Departure from Tomari Port at 10:00
Arrival at Tokashiki Port at 11:10
It takes just under 10 minutes by car to Awa Beach.
Return gathering at 15:30, ferry departure at 16:00.
Arrival at Tomari Port at 17:10.
The 70-minute boat ride was just the right amount of time for a beach stay.
The tranquility unique to the islands and the beauty of the sea were exceptional.
The only downside was that the supervision was too strict.
Snorkeling requires wearing a life jacket, and you can't even splash around at the water's edge.
It felt more like a message to use rentals rather than a focus on safety, which was unpleasant.
I wish there was more freedom.

安全第一というより、レンタル利用しろと聞こえる感じで不快でした。
もっと、自由度が欲しいです。

It wasn't as immersive in nature as I expected from a night safari, but (well, the whole of Ishigaki is quite natural) I enjoyed the introduction of palm crabs, spiders, hermit crabs, and distinctive plants. The Ryukyu scops owl on the power lines was also a highlight.

As we were watching, the sky cleared up more and more, and the starry sky was incredibly clear, which was moving. The guides' love for Ishigaki and nature shone through, and even when things didn't go as planned, they surely found a way to keep the atmosphere lively.

ナイトサファリというほど大自然の中に突っ込むわけではなかったのが少し肩透かしだったけど、(まあ、石垣全体が自然多めなんだけど) ヤシガニ、クモ、オカヤドカリや特徴的な植物紹介も有り楽しめた。電線のリュウキュウコノハズクも。
鑑賞している間にどんどん晴れて来て星空がめちゃクリアだったのが感動的だった。ガイドさん達は石垣愛、自然愛がにじみ出ており、不発に終わった時も何とか盛り上げてくれるに違いない。

It was my first time diving, and it was a very enjoyable tour thanks to the careful guidance I received. The staff was supportive during the boat ride, addressing any concerns I had and sharing various tips about the ocean, which was great. Swimming with the turtles was a lifelong memory. I was deeply moved by the vibrant blue of Kerama! I want to go out to sea with the staff here again. Thank you, instructor Haru!

はじめてのダイビングでしたが丁寧にご指導いただきとっても楽しめるツアーでした。船で移動中なども不安なことなどの相談にのってくださったり、いろいろな海でのtipsを聞けたのも良かったです。カメさんと一緒に泳げたのは一生の思い出です。慶良間ブルーの真っ青さに大感動！またここのスタッフさんと海に出かけたいです。インストラクターのはるちゃん、ありがとうございました

遅れてコメントして申し訳ありません。

タイラーは私たちのチームリーダーで、経験と忍耐を持った可愛い男の子です。彼の助けのおかげで、さまざまな種類の魚やサンゴ礁を見ることができました。

私たちは、海でウミガメと小さな銀色の魚の群れを見ることができてとてもラッキーでした。

Sorry for the late comments.

Tyler was our team leader, who is a cute guy with experience and patience. With his help, we were able to see different kinds of fishes and coral reef.

We are very lucky to see a turtle and a group of small silver fish swimming in the sea.

I had the opportunity to experience SUP on a girls' trip. The guide was friendly and provided advice on paddling from start to finish, as well as sharing breathtaking viewpoints of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding islands. This made the rest of my stay even more enjoyable, and I had a great time!

女子旅でSUPを体験させてもらいました。
ガイドの方が気さくで、最初から最後まで漕ぎ方のアドバイスから石垣島、離島の絶景ポイントなども教えてくださったので、残りの滞在もより楽しみになり、良い時間を過ごすことができました！

It was a tour for snorkeling at Barasu Island and mangrove SUP! They took a lot of photos and sent them to me right away, which was great♪ They also recommended some restaurants and spots, making for a very fulfilling day◡̈ I would love to join again when I come back to Iriomote Island⭐︎

バラス島シュノーケル、マングローブSUPのツアーでした！写真もたくさん撮ってすぐに送ってくれて、とても良かったです♪ オススメの飲食店やスポットも教えて頂き、とても充実した日を送ることができました◡̈　また西表島に来たら参加したいです⭐︎

The weather in Ishigaki Island changes rapidly, so I made a reservation on the day of. Until just before, it was pouring rain, and I was half giving up while in the car heading to the meeting point. However, after that, the rain stopped, and I was able to see some stars being blown by the wind.

There were many stars visible to the naked eye, but the Milky Way was clearly visible through the binoculars we borrowed, and my whole family was moved by it. Although there were still some clouds left from the rain just before, we were captivated by the night sky while receiving explanations about the stars visible through the gaps! My second son, who is in the second grade, was excitedly searching for stars, even though the explanations about the night sky were a bit difficult for him.

The way the night sky looks differs due to latitude, and the explanations were easy to understand. Also, despite the rain just before, the chairs and the borrowed binoculars were not wet, making it a wonderful and memorable experience in Ishigaki Island.

石垣島の天気はコロコロ変わるので、当日に申し込みをしました。
直前まではどしゃ降りで、車で向かった集合場所の車内で半ば諦めていましたが、、その後、あのどしゃ降りの雨は何だったのか、、という位、雨は上がり風に吹かれて星もそれなりに見えることが出来ました。
肉眼で見える星空もたくさんありましたが、天の川は貸してくれた双眼鏡でハッキリと見え、家族全員で感動しました。
当日は直前の雨の影響で、雲が残っていたものの、隙間から見える星を解説してもらいながら、星空に魅力されました！
小学2年生の次男は、少し難しいだろう星空の解説にも関わらず、星を一生懸命探しながら興奮していました。
緯度の違いで普段見える星空の見えかたも違い、説明も分かりやすかったです。また、直前の雨でも椅子や借りた双眼鏡などは濡れていることもなく、素敵な石垣島の思い出深い経験になりました。

I participated in snorkeling at Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave. The natural beauty was so stunning that I wanted to come back again and again. Personally, I found the underwater snorkeling in front of the Blue Cave to be particularly impressive. It was great that they had a good range of sizes for rental equipment. I really appreciated the guide's explanations and the photo opportunities. They were very accommodating with schedule changes and pickup locations, which was a big help. Regarding infection control measures, while some things in the vehicle are unavoidable, overall, I thought it was well managed.

川平湾supと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加させていただきました。とにかく自然が何度でも来たくなるような綺麗さでした。個人的には青の洞窟前の海中シュノーケリングが印象的でした。貸し出し用品なかなり大きいサイズもありよかったです。ガイドさんの説明や写真撮影も大変ありがたかったです。日程変更や送迎場所の融通も利かせていただき大変助かりました。感染対策については、車内はある程度仕方ありませんが基本的によかったと思います。

My first time on Iriomote Island was so healing with the abundant nature of mangrove SUP, waterfalls, and limestone caves!

The photos turned out beautifully, making for a wonderful keepsake!

Since this was a day trip, I thought it would be nice to stay overnight on Iriomote Island next time!

It became a very enjoyable memory☆ I would love to use this service again on my next opportunity!

初めての西表島、マングローブSUPや、滝、鍾乳洞の自然いっぱいで癒されました！　　
　
写真も、すごく綺麗に撮ってもらえてとてもいい記念になりました！！　

今回日帰りだったので次回は西表島で１泊したいなと思いました！　　

とても楽しい思い出になりました☆次の機会もまた利用したいと思います！

Due to the weather, we couldn't explore the cave or land on Barasu Island, but they prepared an alternative plan for us, and we were able to fully enjoy a day on Iriomote Island! Canoeing in the mangroves was also a wonderful experience, allowing us to feel close to nature. Thank you very much!

天候の影響で、鍾乳洞探検とバラス島上陸はできなかったのですが、別プランを用意してくださり、1日西表島を満喫できました！マングローブでのカヌーもすごく自然を感じ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

It was extremely hot, so I was worried, but in the evening, I was able to enjoy myself very comfortably near the water's surface! The guide's explanations were also very interesting.

猛暑だったので心配でしたが、夕方は水面近くでとても気持ち良く過ごせました！
ガイドの方の説明もとてもおもしろかったです。

The tour staff were all very kind and wonderful people. During the activities, they took amazing photos that created great memories. Additionally, they provided transportation, so it was fine not to have a rental car. As a measure against COVID-19, both participants and staff wore masks during crowded travel, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. If I have the chance to come back to Iriomote Island, I would definitely like to use their services again.

ツアーのスタッフの方がとても優しくいい人ばかりでした。
アクティビティでは、体験中の写真をめちゃくちゃいい感じに撮ってくれていい思い出づくりになりました。
また、送迎もしてくれるのでレンタカーが無くても大丈夫でした。
新型コロナウィルス対策として密になる移動中は参加者もスタッフもマスクを着用しており、安心して楽しめました。
もし、次も西表島に来ることがあればぜひ利用したいです。

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful!!
It was disappointing not to see the coconut crabs, but it was fun to see bats and other things☺️
The guide was also cool and entertaining.
I'm glad I could experience something out of the ordinary!
It was helpful that they drove me back to the hotel where I was staying!

星空がめっちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！！
ヤシガニがいなくて残念でしたが、コウモリなど見れて楽しかったです☺️
ガイドのお兄さんもかっこよくて面白かったです
非日常を味わえてよかったです！
帰りも宿泊してるホテルまで送ってもらえて助かりました！

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and moving! The guide was very knowledgeable about the stars, and it was a lot of fun to enjoy the viewing while listening to the explanations. At the night safari, I was able to see animals and plants I had never seen before, and it was enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

星空がとても綺麗で感動しました！
ガイドの方はとても星に詳しく、説明を聞きながらの鑑賞はとても楽しかったです。
ナイトサファリでは今まで見たことない動物や植物を見ることができ、楽しかったです！
とても良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

The male tour guide was knowledgeable and there were no issues. It was amazing to see the mangroves up close, and I was surprised by the size of the bats in Okinawa. It was disappointing that I wasn't allowed to choose a single kayak from the start.

ツアーガイドの男性は物知りで問題ありませんでした。マングローブを間近で見れ又沖縄のコウモリの大きさには驚きでした。カヌーの1人乗りをはなから選択させてもらえなかったのは残念でしたね

Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were very beautiful, but there were quite a few moths flying around, and as someone who is not good with insects, I couldn't concentrate much on the stars.

幸運にも天気に恵まれて、星はとてもきれいに見えたのですが、蛾などがけっこう飛びかっていて、虫がとても苦手な私は、あまり星に集中できませんでした。

The staff were kind and it was enjoyable.
I could feel the nature of Okinawa!
It was great that they offered hat rentals!
If you participate, it might be a good idea to wear long sleeves for sun protection.

スタッフの方も親切で楽しかったです。
沖縄の自然を感じられました！
帽子の貸し出しもあったのがよかったです！
参加するなら長袖で日焼け対策をするといいかもしれません。

I had a great time.
Thank you for being so kind to everyone.
I want to go again.

The kids were also very happy.
It was the best!

とっても楽しかったです
皆さんに親切にしていただき
ありがとうございました
また行きたいです

子供達も大喜びでした
最高でした

Two years ago, I was heartbroken while snorkeling in the rain. This time, I was eager to go, but I was very anxious because my schedule coincided with the passing and approaching typhoon. However, it turned out to be beautifully sunny. I snorkeled at three points, and at the end, I was deeply moved to see a sea turtle majestically swimming in the blue ocean. Every staff member was cheerful and attentive, making my experience pleasant from departure to return. I would definitely like to use your services again on another occasion.

2年前は雨の中のシュノーケリングで傷心のままでした。今回は意気込んできましたが台風通過と台風接近の間に日程が重なり大変不安でしたが、ものの見事に快晴でした。3ポイントでシュノーケリングをし、最後にウミガメを青い海中で雄大に泳いでいる姿を見て大変感動しました。スタッフの誰もが元気よく対応して頂き出発から帰港する迄気持ち良く過ごせました。又の機会も是非お世話になりたいです。

The guides were very kind.
I was grateful to be able to borrow a full set of equipment.

Since we shared the boat with many other courses, the round trip time and waiting time were quite long, and the time spent in the water was short.
I wish I could have spent more time in the water.

ガイドの方達はとても親切でした。
道具を一式貸していただけてありがたかったです。

たくさんのコースの方と同船するので
往復の時間や待ち時間がとても長く
水に入っている時間が短かったです。
もっと水に入っていたかったな。

The day after the typhoon passed, the waves and winds were strong, so unfortunately, snorkeling was canceled. However, they quickly provided an alternative plan, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful day in Iriomote. Not only the activities, but also the enjoyable conversations and the personality of the guide made for great memories.

台風通過の翌日だったため、波風が強く、残念ながらシュノーケリングは中止になってしまいましたが、すぐに別のプランで対応していただき、西表での一日を楽しくすごすことができました。
アクティビティはもちろん、担当していただいたガイドさんとの楽しい会話や人柄に触れることもでき、いい思い出になりました。

On the day of the tour, I received a message asking if I could come earlier because the weather looked questionable. I informed them that I had a tight schedule and could only make it at the earliest time available, which seemed to leave them a bit uncertain, but the guide was very friendly. They took a lot of photos for me, and it became a wonderful memory.

当日に観光中、天気が怪しいので早めに来られますか？と連絡があり、予定が詰まっており最速でこの時間ですと伝えると、うーんという感じでしたが、とても気さくなガイドさんでした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、とてもいい思い出になりました。

We participated as a family of three.
The schedule was originally in the afternoon, but due to the typhoon, it was suddenly changed to the morning.
We were a bit far from our accommodation and arrived 10 minutes late. Thank you to everyone who waited.
The location was Kabira Bay, which was a very beautiful place.
Our family quickly grasped the tips for stand-up paddleboarding and were able to stand on the board.
About halfway through, my son's stamina reached its limit, and it really does require physical strength.
We took many photos, and it became a wonderful memory for our family.
Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。
予定は午後だったが台風の影響で急遽午前中に変更しました。
宿泊地から少し距離があって集合時間より10分遅れました。待てた皆さんに感謝します。
場所は川平湾で非常に綺麗な場所でした。
家族3人すぐにsupのコツをつかんでボードに立つことが出来ました。
半分の距離ぐらいで息子の体力が限界で、やはり体力が求められます。
何枚の写真を撮ってもらって、家族にとって非常にいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I had a fulfilling and enjoyable day in the great outdoors. Fortunately, we were blessed with wonderful weather, and while traveling by car from the office, I was able to see a crowned eagle and some rare butterflies. It was my first time canoeing, and it took me a while to get the hang of it, but I was able to relax while enjoying the mangroves and the blue sky, which was a lot of fun. The view from the top of the waterfall was amazing, and the soki soba that was prepared for us was incredibly delicious. The trekking along the way provided a great opportunity for exercise for someone like me who doesn't usually work out, and it was enjoyable to hear about the nature of Iriomote from our guide. The time spent at the base of the waterfall after overcoming the somewhat challenging trek was simply the best. I swam as much as I could in the pool, jumped off rocks, and enjoyed the waterfall shower; it was truly fun. Even for someone like me who can't swim in deep water, having a life jacket made it no problem at all. On the way back, I felt more relaxed in the canoe than I did on the way there, and a day this fulfilling is rare. It became a lifelong memory.

大自然の中とても充実した楽しい1日が過ごせました。幸いにも素晴らしい天気に恵まれた上、事務所から車で移動する際に、カンムリワシや珍しい蝶を見ることが出来ました。カヌーは初めてて最初はコツを掴むのに時間がかかりましたがマングローブや青空を眺めながら最高にリラックスできてとても楽しかったです。登り切った滝の上からの景色は素晴らしく、作って頂いたソーキそばは美味しすぎました。道中のトレッキングは普段あまり運動しない私にとっていい運動の機会になりましたし、ガイドさんから西表の自然について聞くのも楽しかったです。そして、若干大変なトレッキングを乗り越えての滝壺での一時はもう最高の一言です。滝壺でめいいっぱい泳ぎ、岩から飛び込んだり、滝のシャワー浴びてみたり、本当に楽しかったです。足がつかないところで泳げない私でもライフジャケットがあれば何の問題もありませんでした。帰りのカヌーも行きしより慣れてきたのかよりリラックスでき、こんなに充実した1日はそうそうないです。一生の思い出になりました。

We participated as a family! Our guide, Hal, was very kind and the kids had a great time! We even encountered a sea turtle, which was very moving! We will come again next year! This time, I want to try diving too!

家族で参加しました！ガイドのハルちゃんもとても親切で子供達も楽しんでいました！ウミガメにも遭遇できてとても感動です！また来年行きます！今度はダイビングにも挑戦したいです☆

We participated as a family of three. A handsome guide was in charge of our experience. At first, it felt difficult, but once the three of us coordinated our efforts, it became a fun time! We learned about various creatures and the ecology of the mangroves, which was educational. I recommend experiencing it at least once.

家族3人で参加しました。
イケメンのガイドさんが担当して頂きました。
最初は難しく感じましたが、3人が息を合わせれば進み楽しい一時でした！
色々な生き物やマングローブの生態も分かり勉強になりました。
一度は体験することをお勧めします。

The reservation for the day after arriving in Ishigaki was made on short notice, but they responded quickly. There was no additional charge for the shuttle service, and we could enjoy the canoeing hands-free.

We participated as a family of three with our 10-year-old child. It's often difficult to take pictures of the whole family during activities, but thanks to the photo service, we were able to enjoy canoeing without any hassle and received more than enough family photos.

We spent a relaxing time canoeing on the crystal-clear waters of Kabira Bay.

On the way to the point, the instructor kindly answered our family's questions about sightseeing spots, for which we are grateful. Thanks to their advice, the remaining days were fulfilling.

石垣に到着してからの翌日の予約
急な予約でしたが素早く対応していただきました
送迎付きの手ぶら追加料金なし

10歳の子供を連れて家族3人で参加
なかなか家族揃ってアクティビティ中写真を撮る事が出来ませんが、こちらは写真サービス付のおかげで手ぶらでカヌーを楽しめておまけに家族揃った写真を充分過ぎるほど頂けました

川平湾の透き通る美しさと、穏やかな水面の上をカヌーでゆったりと過ごせました

ポイント地までの道中もインストラクターの方が私達家族の観光スポットの質問に応えて下さり感謝
アドバイスのおかげで残りの日数も充実したものになりました

The water clarity around Balas Island is incredibly beautiful! The coral reefs are also amazing, making it feel like a dream world. I encountered sea turtles and clownfish while enjoying snorkeling. During our lunch break, we were introduced to a café called "Iriomote no Shonen," the only place on Iriomote Island where you can enter in swimwear, and I really loved both the food and the atmosphere! We also experienced an incredible downpour during that time. In the afternoon, we went on a mangrove tour by stand-up paddleboard. The instructor, Nakamura, who stayed with us from the very beginning, provided a warm and enjoyable experience, making it fun until the very end.

バラス島の海の透明度はもう半端ない綺麗さ！！
サンゴ礁も素晴らしく夢の世界にいる様でした。
ウミガメ、クマノミなども出会えシュノーケルを堪能しました。お昼の休憩では唯一西表島で水着で入れるカフェ「西表の少年」を紹介され、食事も雰囲気もとても気に入りました！その間ものすごいスコールも経験できました。
午後からマングローブツアーをsupにて行いました。朝イチからずっと付いて下さったインストラクターの中村さんの案内もアットホームで楽しく面白く最後の最後まで楽しめました。

I had a reservation for two with a friend, but I heard that a warm low-pressure system developed the day before, and on the day itself, the rain and wind were incredibly intense from the morning. They managed to go ahead with the tour, but due to high waves and strong winds, we could only do the mangrove SUP and the cave exploration.

Exploring the cave was quite an adventure, as it was so dark that without the helmet lights, we couldn't see anything at all—it felt like we were exploring a jungle. There were detailed and fun explanations along the way, and I learned a lot about nature.

The mangrove SUP in the strong rain and wind, which felt like a typhoon, offered a different atmosphere compared to sunny days. I got completely soaked, but once we entered the mangroves, I didn't feel the wind at all, and it felt like we were on another jungle adventure. The destination we reached on the SUP was the Kura Falls, which is said to bring good luck. Because of the heavy rainfall, we experienced a more dynamic atmosphere than usual, which was very moving.

I was anxious about participating in such strong rain and wind, but thanks to the rain, I had an experience that I wouldn't normally get to have. Rain is nice, but I also want to join on a sunny day next time!

友達と2人で予約していましたが前日に温帯低気圧が発生したとのことで当日は朝から雨風共に凄まじい状態でした。なんとか催行していただけるとのことですが、バラス島上陸は波が高く風も強いとのことで、マングローブSUPと鍾乳洞のみになってしまいました。
鍾乳洞散策は、本格的でヘルメットの灯りがないと全く何も見えないくらいまるでジャングルを探検するような楽しみがありました。途中途中で詳しく楽しい説明もあり、自然のこともよく学ぶことができました。
台風レベルに雨風強い中でやったマングローブSUPも晴れている時とはまた違った雰囲気を楽しめました。全身ずぶ濡れになりましたがマングローブに入ると風も感じることなくこれまたジャングルを探検しているような楽しい気持ちになりました。SUPで辿り着いた先は幸運を呼ぶといわれているクーラの滝でした。雨量が多かったこともあり普段の滝の様子よりダイナミックな雰囲気を体験する事ができとても感動しました。
雨風強い中で参加することになりどうなることかと不安でしたが、雨のおかげで普段体験することができないような経験ができました。
雨も良いですが、次は晴れの日にも参加したいと思います！

In a wonderful environment without light, I was able to see many beautiful stars. The guide was very skilled, and it was a great time that allowed me to rediscover the joy of stargazing.

明かりのない素晴らしい環境の中、きれいな星がたくさん見られました。ガイドの方の案内もとても上手で、天体観測の楽しさを改めて知れたいい時間となりました。
