All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

It was more of an adventure than I expected. First, I went snorkeling. I was able to see beautiful fish and coral, but it was disappointing that I didn't get to meet any turtles. However, it felt like a luxurious time on a nearly private beach with hardly anyone around. I was able to enjoy snorkeling even though I can't swim, thanks to the staff member who held onto my float. The Pumpkin Hall, which I had wanted to visit, had a waterfall created by the previous day's downpour, and it was mystical and moving. I was scared to jump down from the pumpkin when leaving. Overall, I had a lot of fun, but there was no explanation about the lack of transportation, and the meeting point was far from my hotel due to the organizer's circumstances, so I had to take a taxi. I ended up paying an additional 3,000 yen for transportation halfway through. I think this should have been detailed in the information provided.

思ったよりも、私には冒険でした。
先に、シュノーケリングをしました。
魚や珊瑚は、綺麗に観れたのですが、亀に会えなかったのは、残念でした。でも、人がほとんどいない、ほぼプライベートビーチ状態で、贅沢な時間でした。スタッフの人の浮き輪に捕まって、泳げない私でも、楽しくシュノーケリングができました。行ってみたかった、パンプキンホールは、前日のスコールで、滝が出来ていて、神秘的で、感動しました。出るときに、パンプキンから、ジャンプして降りるのが怖かったです。
全体的にとても楽しかったですが、送迎つかない説明がなかったことと、集合ポイントも開催者の都合で宿泊ホテルから、遠方になって、タクシーで参加しました。途中から送迎を別料金で、3000円を払いました。詳細にそのことは、記載すべきだとおもいました。

Due to the impact of COVID-19, there was only one other group besides us. Furthermore, during the latter part of the activities at Kabira Bay, we had our guide, Diego, all to ourselves.

In a word, it was "the ultimate relaxation." It felt like a world completely separate from our daily lives. While experiencing the extraordinary beauty of Ishigaki Island's nature, Diego provided a fun and educational guiding experience. The timing for landing on the phantom island was perfect.

It's common to get so focused on taking photos that you can't fully enjoy the activities, but Diego took plenty of pictures for us, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any worries. If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to request his services once more.

Thank you, Diego!

コロナの影響で自分達の他には1組しかいませんでした。更に後半の川平湾のアクティビティではガイド(ジエゴ)さん貸切りでした。
一言で言えば「最高の癒し」
日常の生活からかけ離れた世界。非日常である石垣島の自然の美しさを感じながら、ジエゴさんの楽しく、勉強になるガイド。幻の島に上陸するタイミングはバッチリでした。写真を撮る事に専念してしまってアクティビティをしっかりと楽しめない事があるあるですが、写真もたっぷり撮って頂き、何も心配無くしっかりとツアーを楽しめました。また石垣島に行く機会があれば、またお願いしたいと思います。
ジエゴさんありがとうございました。

The sunset was amazing. The staff were incredibly hospitable. I want to go again! I want to go again!

サンセット最高でした
スタッフさん達もホスピタリティ抜群な方達でした
また行きたい‼️また行きたい‼️

I experienced SUP for the first time, and the instructor Diego's explanations were very thorough, allowing me to enjoy it to the fullest. It became a wonderful memory.

初めてSUPを体験しましたが、インストラクターのジエゴさんの説明はとても丁寧で目一杯楽しむことができました。すごく素敵な思い出になりました。

For our first trip to Ishigaki Island, we decided to try the Barasu and canoe waterfall adventure after much deliberation! Thanks to our friendly and very kind guide who explained and showed us so much, it truly became a wonderful memory! It's common for any tour company to have beautiful seas, but if you're unsure about which tour to choose, you can't go wrong here!

初の石垣島からの離島プラン、色々悩んでバラスとカヌー滝遊びに挑戦！
ガイドさんが気さく、とても親切で色々説明、案内してくれたおかげで本当に良い思い出になりました！
どこのツアー会社でも海が綺麗なのは当たり前、ツアー選びで迷ったらここで間違いなし！

I have participated in countless tours so far, but among similar tours, this one provided the highest level of satisfaction. You absolutely must join!

今まで数えきれないほどのツアーに参加してきましたが、似たようなツアーがある中、今回のツアーは最高レベルの満足感でした。絶対に参加すべし！

I rented a car, so I decided to meet at the location. Although I was given clear instructions on where to meet, the unfamiliar roads were dark and difficult to navigate, and I got a bit lost. Once I arrived, it was just a short walk to the star viewing area, and we each took a seat in our preferred spot where tea and telescopes were provided.

After that, we looked through the telescopes while listening to explanations about each star. This is the flow of the tour. The day I participated was clear, but there was a bit of moonlight and a lot of clouds, so it felt like we were seeing stars through gaps in the clouds, which wasn't ideal for stargazing. At that time of year, the Milky Way was barely visible, but I was glad to see the night sky for the first time and hear about the names and explanations of the stars. I haven't seen a tour that allows for cancellations based on the weather and moonlight, so I highly recommend this one.

レンタカーを借りていたので、現地集合にしました。
集合場所はきちんと教えていただいていたのですが、知らない道と道路が真っ暗で分かりにくく少し迷いました。到着すると星を見る場所までほんの少し歩き、各自好きな場所の椅子に座るとお茶と望遠鏡が配られます。
その後、一つ一つの星の説明を聞きながら望遠鏡で見ます。これがこのツアーの流れです。私が参加した日は晴れていましたが、少し月明かりがあり、雲が多くて雲の切れ目から星を見る感じだったので絶好の星空ではありませんでした。時期的に天の川が薄っすらギリギリ見える程度でしたが、初めて見る星空や星の名前や星の説明を聞けて良かったです。当日の天候や月明かりを調べてキャンセルもできるツアーは見たことないのでお勧めです。

The staff is kind and amazing, without a doubt.
They picked us up in front of the hotel at 7:50 AM and dropped us off at the hotel at 4:00 PM.
We had plenty of time for snorkeling at three points in Kerama.
The boat was clean and comfortable.
I especially want to thank the handsome half-Japanese Ken-chan!
Thank you very much!
I am thinking of using your services again.
Next time, I want to bring my girlfriend along...

何と言っても・・・スタッフが親切で最高です。
AM７：５０のホテル前ピックアップから
PM４：００ホテルへ送りまでしていただきました。
慶良間のポイント３か所
充分な時間シュノーケリングさせていただきました。
船も綺麗で快適です。
特にお世話になりましたのが、ハーフのイケメンのケンちゃん！
ありがとうございました！
また、お世話になりたいと考えています。
次回は彼女を連れて行ってあげたいな・・・

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.

泊港　　　出発　１０：００
渡嘉敷港　到着　１１：１０

残念な点は
監視が厳し過ぎ
シュノーケリング＝ライフジャケット着用
波打ち際のちゃぷちゃぷも出来ません。
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。
