All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

My wife and I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time. On the day of our visit, due to our circumstances, we made a last-minute request to adjust the itinerary to avoid getting too wet. Thanks to the wonderful resourcefulness of our guide, we were able to enjoy canoeing and a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and they specially changed our originally planned full-day tour to a half-day just for us. Despite being young, our guide was experienced and reliable, and he engaged in conversation with us, an elderly couple, making our half-day on Ishigaki Island extremely enjoyable.

家内と二人で初めて石垣島を訪ねました。当日はこちらの都合で，急遽，水にあまり濡れないような内容でお願いできないかとの無理な要望を出させていただきましたが，ガイドさんの素晴らしい機転で，川平湾にてカヌー・グラスボート等を楽しみ，元々の一日ツアーを我々のみ特別に半日に変更していただきました。ガイドさんはお若いのに経験豊富で頼りがいがあり，我々老夫婦とも会話を合わせてくださるなど素晴らしい好青年で，石垣島での半日を大変楽しく過ごさせていただきました。

I had booked a stargazing tour for the second day of my trip to Ishigaki Island from February 15th for two nights and three days, but the weather forecast predicted rain for that day. The weather on the day we arrived was a mix of sunny and cloudy. When I called to see if I could change the reservation a day in advance, they kindly agreed, and although there were some clouds, we were able to see a wonderful starry sky. It was the best experience, enjoying the stars with a blanket and warm tea, and each of us had a pair of binoculars to look at the stars. Next time, I would like to visit when the Southern Cross is visible.

2月15日から2泊3日の石垣島旅行で2日目に星空ツアーを予約しておいたのですが、天気予報では確実に雨。着いた当日は晴れたり、曇ったりの天気でした。1日前に変更出来るか電話をいれたところ、快く承諾してもらえ、雲はあったものの素敵な星空を見ることができました。ブランケットとあたたかいお茶に癒され1人1つの双眼鏡で見る星空は最高でした。次は、サザンクロスの見える頃に伺いたいと思います。

During my 5-night, 6-day trip, the weather wasn't great, and I didn't get to see much of the beautiful sea. However, there was a brief moment of sunshine when we landed on Baras Island, and at the very end, I was able to see a stunning sea. Also, the photos taken by our guide were very stylish and of excellent quality. I think it's the best tour because you can experience so much in one day. At the cave, I fell quite dramatically because it was muddy from the heavy rain the day before (laughs). I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty when participating in the tour.

5泊6日の旅行中、お天気に恵まれず、あまり綺麗な海を見ることが出来ていませんでしたが、バラス島の上陸の時だけ少し晴れ間が見え、最後の最後でとても綺麗な海が見れました。また、ガイドのお兄さんが撮ってくださった写真はとてもセンスがよく画質がすごく綺麗でした。1日で色々体験できるので最高のツアーだと思います。鍾乳洞では前日が大雨だったことにより、ぬかるんでいた為、盛大にすっ転びました（笑）ツアーに参加される際は汚れても良い服装がいいと思います。

It was a lot of fun to experience the true nature of Okinawa, accompanied by the interesting and attentive explanations from the staff. Everyone on the staff was kind and enjoyable to be around.

面白く、丁寧なスタッフさんの説明と共に沖縄本当の自然に触れることができてとても楽しい思い出になりました。スタッフさん方も皆さん優しくて楽しい方々でした。

The guide was very kind, and it turned out to be a fun tour. It was disappointing that we didn't see many animals, but I understand that it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it. I thought it might have been better to join a tour during a different season. My parents were looking forward to the constellations, so even though we changed the date on short notice due to the weather, they responded quickly, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky despite a few clouds.

ガイドをしていただいた方がとても親切で楽しいツアーになりました。
動物があまり見れなかったのは残念でしたが自然が相手なのでしょうがないと納得、やはり時期を選んだツアーに参加した方が良かったのかなと思いました
星座は親が楽しみにしていたので、天気をみて急遽日にちを変更しても、すばやく対応していただき少し雲があったけど綺麗な星空が見れました

The instructor who took care of us was cheerful and kind, making it enjoyable ^_^ The occasional puns were nice too, lol.

担当してくれたインストラクターさんが明るく優しくて楽しめました^_^
時々でるダジャレもよさげww

The explanations about constellations and star names were very detailed and enjoyable. I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit. Thank you very much.

星座や星の名前に関する解説が詳しくて大変楽しかったです。次に訪れた際にも必ず参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I went on a SUP tour in the mangroves of Iriomote Island, explored a limestone cave, and visited Barasu Island. The guide was very attentive and considerate, making for a fun and fulfilling day. The value for the price was excellent. Barasu Island was especially amazing!

西表島のマングローブでSUP、鍾乳洞探検、バラス島ツアーへ行きました。担当のガイドさんがとても丁寧で、細かな気遣いをしてくださる方で1日楽しく、充実した日が過ごせました。この値段でこの内容はとてもお得でした。特にバラス島最高でした！

I am taking the open water dive license at my home. The Kerama friendly dive experience was awesome. I know most the basic dive skills, but the instructor was always close by. I saw a lot of new marine animals. I strongly recommend to try it if you are now afraid to dive.

The weather was nice on the day, but due to the wind direction, we did SUP in the mangroves of Miyara River. In conclusion, I was very satisfied!!

It was my first time doing SUP, but our guide Diego taught us carefully, and we were able to enjoy the river at a leisurely pace. Diego was very friendly and shared various knowledge about the mangroves during the tour. Also, I was very satisfied with the many photos he took as part of the course. I highly recommend it!

当日は天気は良かったのですが風向きが悪かったため、宮良川のマングローブでSUPをしました。結論、大満足でした！！

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドのジエゴさんが丁寧に教えてくださりゆったりと川を満喫できました。
ジエゴさんはとてもフレンドリーで、マングローブについてなど様々な知識を加えながらツアーをしてくれました。また、コースに含まれている写真も、たくさん撮って頂き大満足です
おすすめです！

I participated in stargazing and a night safari on Ishigaki Island. I was impressed by the polite guidance and explanations. Since it was winter, they worked hard to find the coconut crab, which is quite rare. In the end, we didn't see it, but we were able to see many large hermit crabs that you can't find on the mainland, as well as some incredibly small ones. Although it was only about two hours, it felt like no time at all.

The most impressive moment was when we were in the area where the owls (specifically the ear owl) that only inhabit the island are found. While I was driving normally, the guide suddenly pointed and said, "Look, an owl!" When I looked in the direction he was pointing, I was amazed to see an owl sitting on a power line. I thought it was incredible that he spotted it, especially since it was completely dark with no streetlights around. Thank you very much! If I have the chance to go to Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to participate once more.

石垣島での星空観賞とナイトサファリに参加しました
丁寧な案内と説明には感動しました。
冬場なのでなかなか見つからないヤシガニを一生懸命にさがしてくれました。
結局は見れませんでしたが　本土では見られない大きなやどかりや逆に物凄く
小さなヤドカリやらいっぱいみられて二時間ほどでしたが　あっという間でした。一番感動したのは、島にしか生息しないふくろう（みみずく）がいる辺り
普通に車を運転していたのに　あっふくろうと言って　ガイドさんの指刺す方向を見たら　びっくり！電線の上にふくろうが　普通に車うんてしていてしかも辺りは外灯もなく真っ暗の中で良く見つけたのものだと思いました。有難うございました。また　石垣島に行くことがあれば　是非もう一度参加したいと思います。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! Since the weather was unpredictable, we made a last-minute reservation the night before. In the end, it turned out to be a very satisfying day! In February, there are few tour companies that offer marine activities, so we were really worried about whether we could actually do it, but we had no problems at all! The sea was incredibly beautiful! Although it wasn't perfectly sunny, it was still so stunning that I was moved. It felt like we were immersed in the world of natural fish, and it was a truly magical and emotional experience.

In the morning, we went snorkeling, had a lunch break at Kabira Bay, and then experienced kayaking in the afternoon. Snorkeling took quite a bit of energy, but we had a nice long lunch break where we ate and leisurely strolled around Kabira Bay, taking photos to recover our energy. (I wish we had taken a glass-bottom boat during that time!) During kayaking at Kabira Bay, we paddled to a beach with hammocks and took lots of memorable photos. When I later looked at the data sent to us, I saw that they had taken an incredible number of photos, making it a truly memorable tour!

I highly recommend this tour!

Additionally, they picked us up from our hotel in the city in the morning and dropped us off at the island terminal on the way back, which was a huge help since we didn't have a rental car. I also recommend it for those planning to stay overnight in Ishigaki Island and then head to other islands!

新婚旅行で参加しました(^^)天気が不安定で読めなかったため、前日の夜にバタバタ予約しました！結果、大満足の一日になりました♡２月はマリンアクティビティができるツアー会社が少なく、本当にできるのか心配していましたが、問題なくできました！海もとっっってもキレイ！！晴天！というわけではなかったのですが、それでもこんなにキレイなの！と感動しました。自然の魚たちの世界にお邪魔させていただいて、自然に溶け込んだような、紛れ込んだような、とっても幻想的で感動的な時間でした。

午前中にシュノーケリング、川平湾でお昼休み、午後にカヤック体験の流れでした。シュノーケリングで結構体力を使ったのですが、お昼休みがゆっくりあり、ごはんを食べて川平湾をゆっくりお散歩したり、写真をとったりして体力回復(^^)(この時間にグラスボートにも乗ればよかった)
川平湾でのカヤックでは、ハンモックのある浜辺まで漕いで上陸！記念になるような写真をたくさん撮っていただきました☆
あとから送られてきたデータを見たら、写真をもう、これでもか！というくらい撮っていてくださって、本当にとっても思い出に残るツアーになりました！
オススメのツアーです(o^^o)

また、朝は市内のホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、帰りは離島ターミナルまで送っていただけたので、レンタカー等の足がなかった私たちはとっても助かりました！石垣島で一泊→離島への予定がある方にもオススメです(^^)笑

The shuttle service picked us up from the hotel and we set off for the port. When we left the hotel, it was cloudy and I was worried about not being able to see the stars, but I thought I would enjoy the night cruise regardless. After waiting at the port for about five minutes, the clouds started to thin out and gradually, the stars became visible.

Upon boarding, we received our favorite drinks, took our seats, and set off! It was a bit chilly since it was February, but a light jacket was sufficient. While listening to a live performance of the sanshin, we first went to see the beautifully lit bridge, which was a great photo spot. As we moved further out to sea, the clouds disappeared, revealing a starry sky that was beyond what we usually see. The guide provided a fun explanation about the constellations. We even saw shooting stars.

Although the wind picked up and clouds quickly returned, I was very satisfied because we got to see some stars. The combination of the live sanshin performance and the starry sky made for a truly memorable cruise. The hour flew by, and I definitely want to go again. Since we were swaying with the waves while looking up, it would be a good idea for those prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

ホテルまで送迎の方が迎えに来てくれて港へ出発しました。
ホテルから出た時は曇っていて星が見えるか心配でしたが、ダメでもナイトクルージングを楽しもうと思っていました。
着いて5分ほど港で待っていると雲が少なくなってきて徐々に星が見えてきました。
乗船の際に好きなドリンクをもらって席について出発！
2月なので肌寒かったですが、薄手の上着で大丈夫でした。
三線の生演奏を聴きながら、まずは写真スポットの奇麗なライトアップされている橋を見に行きました。
その後沖の方まで進むにつれて雲がなくなり普段見れないぐらいの星空を見れました。
ガイドさんが楽しく星座について解説してくれました。
流れ星も見れました。

風があり、あっという間に雲が出てきてしまいましたが、ちょっとでも見れたからとても満足でした。
三線の生演奏と星空のセットでとても思い出に残るクルージングになりました。
1時間という時間があっという間で、また行きたいと思う内容でした。
波に揺られながら上を見ているので、乗り物酔いする人は酔い止めを飲んでいくと良いですね。

The instructors were very kind and it was so much fun! I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Okinawa.

インストラクターの皆さんがとても親切でとてもたのしかったです！次沖縄にいく時も絶対に参加したいです。

It was possible to cancel even at the meeting time on the night of the event. The weather was not great, but since the date was limited, I decided to go ahead with it! The guide was friendly and kind. However, I think those who really want to see the stars or various plants should consider the timing before participating.

当日の夜集合時点でもキャンセル可能とのことでしたお天気は決していいとは言えませんでしたが、日にちも限られていたのでそのままお願いしました！ガイドさんは気さくで親切です。ただどうしても星が見たい方や色々な植物などが見れると思って参加される方は時期なども考慮して参加されたほうが良いかと思いました。

In the morning, I enjoyed a variety of marine sports, and in the afternoon, after taking commemorative photos on a beautiful phantom island, I had a great time snorkeling at a snorkeling spot! The staff were all very kind, and I would like to use their services again.

午前中はマリンスポーツざんまいで、午後はとても綺麗な幻の島で記念撮影した後、シュノーケルのスポットで思う存分シュノーケリングを楽しめました！スタッフの方みなさん親切でまた利用したいと思いました。

I had to change the pickup location suddenly around 4:30 PM on the day of the tour, but they kindly accommodated my request. During the drive to and from the location, the guide found owls and snakes, making the journey enjoyable. We were blessed with good weather and got to see a beautiful starry sky and coconut crabs, making it a very satisfying tour. Thank you!

当日の午後4時半位に送迎場所を急遽変更したのですが、快く応じてくださいました。行き帰りの車の中でも、ガイドさんがフクロウや蛇を見つけてくれたり、移動中も楽しかったです。お天気にも恵まれ、キレイな星空やヤシガニも見れて大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

This is my second time participating. It's very moving because I can't often see a sky full of stars in my daily life. The explanations from the stargazing guide were easy to understand, and I gained more knowledge! On the day of the event, the wind was strong, and the perceived temperature was quite different from during the day. They lend out blankets, but it might be good to dress warmly when participating. I plan to go stargazing again in a different season.

二回目の参加です。
なかなか普段の生活では空いっぱいの星空を見ることができないので、とても感動的です。
星空ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、知識が増えました！
当日は風が強くて体感温度が昼間とかなり違いました。ブランケットは貸してくれますが、参加するときは暖かい格好が良いかも。
また別の季節にも星を観に行こうと思います。

In the morning, I participated in a mangrove exploration and in the afternoon, I joined a cave tour and a landing tour on Baras Island with my friends.
For the mangrove tour, we used canoes, and I think it's enjoyable for anyone as it wasn't difficult at all! The natural scenery was beyond my imagination!
It felt like stepping into the world of an adventure movie!
At the caves, we were able to walk through many caves, not just one, and we also saw various creatures and plants along the way to the caves!
Baras Island was truly beautiful and perfect for Instagram photos!!!
The guide was very attentive and shared a lot of information (including recommendations for delicious restaurants), making the experience exceptional!

午前中にマングローブ探検、午後に鍾乳洞、バラス島上陸ツアーに友達と参加しました。
マングローブはカヌーで参加しましたが、難しくなく誰でも楽しめると思います！想像以上の大自然です！
まるでアドベンチャー映画の世界に入ったようでした！
鍾乳洞は、一つではなくたくさんの鍾乳洞の中を歩けて、また、鍾乳洞へ行くまでの道でも色々な生き物や植物を見れたりしました！
バラス島は、本当に綺麗で、インスタ映え間違いなしです！！！
ガイドさんが色々教えてくれたり(ご飯がおいしい店も)気遣いしてくれて至れり尽くせりでした！

We went snorkeling with nine people for our graduation trip. It was my first experience, but even in February, wearing a wetsuit made it not too cold, and it was a lot of fun! We visited three spots, and at the second location, we found a turtle and swam together, taking some wonderful photos. On the way back, we spotted a mother and baby whale, watching them jump and spout water. It was truly a fun and valuable experience!

卒業旅行に9人でシュノーケリングをしました。はじめての体験でしたが2月でもウェットスーツを着ると寒さもそこまで感じずとても楽しい体験となりました！
3カ所巡りましたが2カ所目でカメを見つけ一緒に泳いだり素敵な写真をとっていただきました
帰りの船ではクジラの親子を見つけジャンプや潮吹きを見ました
本当に楽しく貴重な経験となりました！

The tour guide was very polite, and even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. The destination was just the right plan! I thought I would like to participate again. ^ ^

添乗員さんはとても丁寧で1人で参加しましたが、不安なところもなく楽しむことが出来ました。行き先もちょうどいいプランでした！
また参加したいなと思いました〜^ ^

The starry sky and night view at Banna Park were absolutely wonderful, and I could have watched them forever. During my stroll along Ohama Beach, I was lucky enough to see bats, frogs, hermit crabs, and even coconut crabs. The guide was very personable, sharing various information and even making light jokes, which made the experience even better.

バンナ公園で見る星空も夜景もとっても素敵で、いつまでも見ていられそうでした。大浜海岸の散策ではコウモリ、カエル、ヤドカリにヤシガニまで見ることができて幸運でした。ガイドのお兄さんもいろんな情報を話してくれたり、軽く冗談を交えてくれたりと大変好感の持てる方で良かったです。

I have visited Okinawa many times, but I had never had the opportunity to go to the northernmost part until I found and signed up for this tour to Okiyama. Okiyama provided a lot of energy as I expected, but I was dissatisfied with the short amount of time we had there, which didn't allow me to fully enjoy it.

I also wonder if it is necessary to combine Churaumi Aquarium and Okiyama in the same course. I would have liked the tour organizer to change the course to focus on power spots and double the time spent at Okiyama.

何度も沖縄を訪れていますが、最北まで行く機会がなかったのですが、大石林山に行くこのツアーを見つけ申し込みました。大石林山は期待どおりに沢山のパワーを頂くことができましたが、あまりにも滞在時間が短くてゆっくり堪能する事が出来なかったのが不満でした。
そもそも美ら海水族館と大石林山が同じコースにする必要があるのか疑問です。ツアー主催者にパワースポットを集めたコースに変更して、大石林山の滞在時間を倍にしていただければと思いました。

I participated alone and I'm in my 50s.
I was impressed by the sincerity of the communication, starting from the phone call the day before the event to the follow-up after it ended. (Local information during the shuttle bus ride, important points before the activity, enjoyable interactions during the experience, and skillful photography, etc.)

The weather on the day was partly cloudy to sunny. The water temperature was pleasant even when splashing around. The sunlight wasn't overly intense, and the wind was gentle.
The guidance on paddle operation and stance adjustments tailored to each participant's situation was thorough and easy to understand. The photos taken during the activity were also stylishly captured, which I appreciated!

I was able to experience my long-desired SUP, and I feel completely fulfilled.
Next, I would like to participate in a mangrove SUP experience!
Thank you for providing such enjoyable memories. Thank you very much!!

ひとり参加 50代です。
催行前日の電話連絡からはじめ 終了後の送りまでの対応の誠実さに好感がもてました。
(送迎バス中の地元案内 、実施前の注意点、体験中の楽しいお声掛け、上手な写真撮影等 )

当日の天候は薄曇り～晴れ。 海ぽちゃしても 心地良かった水温でした。 極度に陽射しがギラついていなく 風も穏やかでした。
参加者個々の状況に応じたパドル操作やスタンスの取り方等のご指導も丁寧でわかりやすかったです。
参加中の写真もセンス良く撮ってあり、感心いたしました！

念願のSUPを体験できて充足感満載です。
次は マングローブsup体験に参加したいと思います！
楽しい想い出の時間をご提供くださりましたことに感謝します。ありがとうございました！！

The most impressive part was the SUP! I was a beginner, but it was a stable experience without waves in the mangroves, unlike the ocean, so I was able to stand and sit relatively easily. I also think the personality of the guide played a big role. They had a wealth of knowledge about nature during the exploration, and I was very satisfied with how they talked about the plants we found and answered any questions I had.

1番印象に残ったのは、SUP！初心者でしたが、海とは違う波のないマングローブ体験だったので、立ったり座ったりとわりと安定してできたのが良かったです。あとは案内人の方の人柄も大きかったと思います。探索中自然の知識も豊富にあったので、見つけた植物の話しや、質問してもなんでも答えてくれたところも大満足でした。

I participated with a friend as a memory of our graduation trip.

When boarding, we each received a drink. I thought there would be a variety of options from alcohol to soft drinks, which there were. However, I was surprised to find that they were served in plastic bottles and cans instead of glasses! I felt it would have been even better if there were warm drinks available.

The stargazing itself was very impressive! At first, I was worried about whether we would be able to see anything from a bright location, but the view from the dark area was overwhelming. The explanations using a penlight were easy to understand, and I really enjoyed the stargazing!

Despite being mid-February, the weather was good, and it was explained that it was lucky to be able to observe so many stars at this time of year, which made for a wonderful memory!

However, it was colder than I expected. The first floor of the boat had no windbreak, and because the boat was moving quickly, we were exposed to the wind the entire time. I recommend stargazing from the second floor!

I was very satisfied with both the performance on the sanshin and the stargazing, so I think it would be an amazing tour if you just prepare for the cold!

If I have the opportunity to go to Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely want to participate in this tour! Thank you for the wonderful experience.

卒業旅行の思い出にと友人と2人で参加しました。

乗船する際にドリンクを1人1ついただきました。
アルコールからソフトドリンクまでと種類は豊富だと思います。ただ、グラスでいただく物かと思いきや、ペットボトルや缶での配布に驚きました笑
温かい飲み物もあれば、なお良かったと感じました。

星の観測自体は、とてもよく見えました！
最初は明るい場所からだったので見えるのか不安でしたが、暗い場所からの景観は圧倒されました。
ペンライトを使いながらの説明も分かりやすく、星の観測をとても楽しむ事が出来ました！

2月の中頃ながら天気はよく、この時期で星がたくさん観測できるのはラッキーだと説明があり、本当にいい思い出が出来ました！

ただ、予想以上に寒かったです。
船の1階には風避けがなく、船のスピードが速い分、ずっと風にさらされました。
星の観測をするなら2階で観られることをオススメします！

三線での演奏も星の観測もとても満足出来たので、寒さ対策だけすれば本当に最高のツアーになると思いました！

また、石垣島へ行く機会があれば、是非、参加したいと思えるツアーでした！感動をありがとうございました。

Thank you to the tour guide! The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy it slowly for an hour. I also picked up some mangrove seeds, and I'm looking forward to growing them at home.

ツアーガイドのお兄さんありがとうございました。
天気もよく、1時間ゆっくり楽しめました。
マングローブの種も拾えて、家で育てるのが楽しみです。

This was my second time participating. My main purpose was Oishi Forest, but when I participated two or three years ago, the meeting place after the walk was at the upper entrance. After the Gajumaru course, I was waiting for the bus alone at the lower parking lot. The staff at the parking lot contacted the bus, so there were no troubles, but... This time, the walking time was longer than last time, and meeting at the lower parking lot made a lot of sense. There was also a juice service, which was nice. While many might be there for the aquarium, I think it would be good to have a bit more time at Oishi Forest, even if it means cutting back on the aquarium a little.

2度目の参加でした。
大石林山が主な目的でしたが、2、3年前に参加した時は、散策後の集合場所が上の入り口でしたので、ガジュマルコースの後、私だけ下の駐車場で、バスを待っていました。
駐車場の係の方が、バスに連絡してくれたので、何もトラブルはありませんでしたが………
今回は、散策時間も前回より長く、下の駐車場集合と、とても理にかなっていましたし、ジュースのサービスもあり、良かったです。
水族館が目的の方も多いのかもしれませんが、水族館を多少削って、もう少し大石林山の時間があってもいいと思いました。

It was reassuring that we could cancel on the day due to the weather. In the end, I was glad to enjoy a beautiful starry sky. There was a blanket available for rent, but it was colder than I expected due to the strong wind, so it would have been better to wear warm clothing.

天候によって当日キャンセルできる点が安心でよかった。結果的にはきれいな星空を楽しめてよかったです。
ブランケットの貸し出しがあったが風が強く思ったより冷えたので、暖かい服装でいくほうがよかった。

It was my first time kayaking, so at first, I felt more scared than excited. However, thanks to the instructor's thorough guidance, I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues! I also got to see a beautiful sunset, which made me very satisfied!

初めてのカヤックだったので初めは楽しむよりも怖さのほうが強かったですが、インストラクターさんの丁寧なレクチャーで困ることもなく始終楽しむことができました！綺麗な夕日も見れて大満足です！
