All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

During a business trip, I stopped by Ishigaki Island and was looking for fun tours besides island hopping when I accidentally found this tour.

The drive took about 30 minutes, but during the ride, I heard various enjoyable stories about Ishigaki Island and personal anecdotes, and before I knew it, we had arrived.

I was worried about the weather, but I was moved to see both a starry sky and the creatures of nature. I think there may be days when the starry sky is not visible due to the weather, but even just listening to the guide's stories was enough to enjoy the experience, making it well worth participating. As others have shared, the tour itself is 100% perfect, but the guide's personality and explanations make it 120% perfect. I confidently recommend it.

At the start, I was asked to sign a consent form for participating in the tour, which made me a bit worried about what dangerous places we might be going to, but we walked for a few minutes through a dark and rugged jungle while searching for creatures, and there were children around 7 to 8 years old participating, so even small children can join with peace of mind.

This tour made me love the nature-rich Ishigaki Island even more.

P.S. The photos taken by the guide were on a smartphone, yet they were very beautiful, showcasing a professional-level smartphone photographer.

仕事の出張ついでに石垣島に立ち寄り、離島めぐり以外に何か楽しそうなツアーがないか探していたところ、偶然見つけたのが、こちらのツアーでした。
車で30分ぐらいの移動ですが車中では、石垣島情報や個人情報までいろいろ楽しい話しを聞かせてもらい、アッという間の到着でした。
天候が心配でしたが、満点の星空に自然界の生き物、どちらも見ることができ感動的でした。
天候しだいで星空も見ず残念な日もあると思いますが、ガイドさんの話だけでも十分楽しめ、参加する価値ありです。他の方の体験談でもあるようにツアーそのものは1０0％完璧なのに、ガイドさんの人柄や説明が楽しく120％完璧すぎるツアーです。自信をもっておすすめします。
出発時にツアー参加の同意書のサインを求められ、どんな危険な所に行くのかちょっと心配になりましたが笑、
生き物を探しながら真っ暗で険しいジャングルを数分、砂浜まで歩きますが、７～8歳くらいの子供さんも参加していていたので小さな子供さんも安心して参加できます。
今回のツアーで自然豊かな石垣島がもっと好きになりました。
PS
ガイドさんが撮ってくれる写真はスマホなのに、とてもきれいで、プロ級のスマホ写真家ですね。

I was worried that there would be many clouds after the typhoon, but I was truly moved by the beautiful starry sky. I was able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye, and I also spotted several shooting stars. The explanation from the guide was really great.

The area was completely dark and the ground was uneven, so I think sneakers are a good choice. The temperature has dropped, so a jacket is also necessary.

台風の後で雲も多く見れるか心配でしたが、本当にきれいな星空が見れて感動でした。
肉眼で天の川も見る事ができ、流れ星もいくつか見えました。
お兄さんの解説もすごく良かったです。

現地は真っ暗で足元も悪かったのでスニーカーがいいと思います。
気温も下がってきたので上着も必要です。

The staff were very kind and taught us how to paddle a kayak from scratch. They supported us while we were out on the sea, showing us where we could see fish clearly and taking lots of photos for us. At the end of the tour, we received the photos and drone footage, which became wonderful memories of our trip! I'm really glad I participated in the tour. Thank you so much! ✨

スタッフさんたちがとても親切で、１からカヤックの漕ぎ方を指導してくださいました。
海に出てたからもスタッフさんがサポートしてくれて、魚がよく見えるところを教えてくれたり、写真をたくさん撮ってくださいました。
ツアーの最後には、写真とドローン撮影したものをいただき、旅行の良い思い出になりました！
ツアーに参加してとても良かったです♪
本当にありがとうございました✨

The guide took us to a spot where there were many coconut crabs, and I was able to see several of them, fulfilling my long-held wish. I also encountered many rare creatures, so I'm glad I chose this tour. The guide also took photos of the animals for us. I heard that it would have been a beautiful area for stargazing if the weather had been clear, so I would like to try again on a sunny day. Thank you for the wonderful tour!

ガイドさんがヤシガニの多いポイントに連れて行ってくださり、念願のヤシガニを何匹も見れ、珍しい生き物にもたくさん遭遇できたので、このツアーにして良かったです。生き物の写真もガイドさんが撮って下さいます。天候が晴れていたら星も綺麗なエリアだったということなので、また晴天の時にリベンジしたいです。素敵なツアーありがとうございました！

私たちはセバスチャンと一緒にマングローブでカヌーを漕いで、とても素敵な時間を過ごしました。彼はとても親切で、この地域についての知識も豊富でした。自然の中で良い時間を過ごしたい人には、ぜひお勧めします！

We had a very lovely time with Sebastian canoeing in the mangrove.
He was very nice and knowledgeable of the area.
I would recommend this to anybody interested in spending good time in nature!

I still can't forget the blue of the sea in Miyako Island. I had the best experiences with both SUP and snorkeling. I definitely want to use these services again when I visit Miyako Island.

宮古島の海のブルーは今でも忘れられません。
SUP、シュノーケリングのどちらとも最高の体験ができました。
また、宮古島を訪れた際は必ず利用したいと思います。

A little elementary school boy who was reluctant to go out. When we arrived, he had a pouty face, but after being encouraged by our guide, Shintaro, he became motivated... During the snorkeling, he was all smiles, and on the way back, he reflected on his earlier comments about not wanting to go, saying he had a great time! We also got to visit the Pumpkin Cave, which is not easy to get to, making it a thoroughly enjoyable tour! It seems he has really come to love activities! Thank you very much!

出かけるのを嫌がる小学生男子。
着いた時にはぶちゃむくれ顔でしたが、ガイドのシンタロウさんに声をかけてもらい、やる気に…
途中のシュノーケリングで笑顔が溢れ出し、帰りには楽しかったーーと、朝の自分の発言を反省することに。
なかなか行けないパンプキン鍾乳洞も行け、かなり大満喫のツアーでした！
すっかりアクティビティが好きになったようです！
ありがとうございました！

We experienced a clear kayak tour as a family of three. I was worried that my one-year-old daughter might be scared, but she ended up having a great time and seemed eager to lean out into the sea. Kayaking in the transparent blue ocean was incredibly refreshing, and the adults enjoyed it very much as well. I'm glad we were able to create wonderful memories on our first trip to Miyako Island.

家族3人で、クリアカヤックツアーを体験させていただきました。
1歳の娘が怖がらないか心配していましたが、結果とても楽しんでいて、海に身を乗り出したくて仕方ない様子でした。
透き通った青い海の中で漕ぐカヤックは、最高に気持ちよく、大人もとてもとても楽しめました。
初めての宮古島旅行で最高の思い出を作ることができてよかったです。

In the morning, I went snorkeling at Ohsaki Beach, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. The snorkeling was originally planned to take place at the Phantom Island, but due to bad weather, it was changed to Ohsaki Beach. I received the notification about the change the day before the tour, and since I didn't know what Ohsaki Beach was like, I was worried about whether I would enjoy it. However, the water was very clear, and I was able to see various fish, including clownfish, which was wonderful.

I was also anxious about snorkeling because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but the tour guide helped me and other participants who were not confident swimmers by pulling us along while we held onto a float. This allowed me to fully enjoy the underwater scenery! (The stand-up paddleboarding location was shallow, so it was fine even for those who are not good at swimming.)

In addition to photos, the tour guide dove down to capture videos of the fish we saw, which became great memories. (Some participants brought their own cameras.)

The tour guides were different in the morning and afternoon, but they carefully explained how to put on and use the equipment, as well as safety precautions. They also kept an eye on the participants' progress, so I felt secure joining the tour. They took many great photos, and that evening, they sent the photos and videos via LINE. (We exchange LINE contacts with each tour guide after the tour.)

For those participating in both the morning and afternoon tours, please note that after the morning tour, there will be a break at your accommodation or the remote island terminal. If your accommodation is far away and you don't have time to change from your swimsuit to clothes, it might be a good idea to bring some clothes for lunch.

During the transfer to the tour locations, the guides also share information about sightseeing spots and recommendations in Ishigaki Island, which enhances the experience. Personally, I found snorkeling to be quite physically demanding, so I think it was good that snorkeling was in the morning and stand-up paddleboarding in the afternoon. Stand-up paddleboarding was enjoyable for beginners as well, as you can move forward by using the wind and the paddle effectively, and there was no risk of sinking.

I had such a fulfilling experience that I would love to use the tour again if I have the opportunity! Thank you very much!

午前は大崎ビーチでシュノーケリング、午後は川平湾でサップをしました。
シュノーケリングは、当初幻の島での実施予定でしたが悪天候のため大崎ビーチでの実施に変更になりました。シュノーケリング場所の変更連絡はツアー前日にあり、大崎ビーチがどのような場所か知らなかったので楽しめるか不安でしたが、海の透明度が高く、クマノミ含む色々な魚を見ることができ、とても良かったです。
また、私は泳ぎに自信がなかったのでシュノーケリングが楽しめるか不安だったのですが、ツアーガイドさんが浮き輪に掴まった私と他に泳ぎに自信がない参加者を終始引っ張って泳いでくださったので、海の中を存分に見て楽しむことができました！(サップ場所は、浅かったので泳ぎが苦手でも問題ないです)
写真に加えて、参加者がその場で見た魚の動画をツアーガイドさんが潜って撮ってくださるのも良い思い出になりました。(自分でカメラを持ち込んでる参加者もいました)

ツアーガイドさんは午前と午後で違う方でしたが、装備の付け方や使い方、注意点を丁寧に教えてくださり、参加者の進捗状況もきちんと見ているので、安心して参加できます。映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、その日の夕方にはLINEで写真と動画を送ってくださります。(ツアー終了後に各ツアーガイドさんとLINE交換します)
午前と午後のツアーに参加される方は、午前のツアーが終わったら送迎可能な宿泊先か離島ターミナルで一度解散になるので、宿泊先が遠く水着から服に着替える時間がない場合はお昼ご飯を食べに行けるよう服を持って行った方がいいのかなと思います。
ツアー先へ移動する道中も石垣島の観光スポットやおすすめ、豆知識を話してくださるのでより石垣島の魅力を知れるのもおすすめです。
個人的にシュノーケリングはとても体力を使ったので、午前がシュノーケリング、午後がサップの順番でよかったと思いました。サップは風の力やオールを上手く使えば進み、沈むこともなかったので初心者でも問題なく楽しめます。
また、機会があればツアーを利用したいと思うくらい、満喫できました！
ありがとうございました！

The tour while listening to the detailed guide's explanation was really great! The starry sky and the Sagari-bana were breathtaking.
The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so I recommend confirming it thoroughly during the pre-meeting.

お詳しいガイドさんの説明を聞きながらのツアー、凄く良かったです！満天の星空やサガリバナ感動的でした。
待ち合わせ場所が少し見つけにくいので、事前の打ち合わせでしっかりと確認する事をお勧めします。

I participated on October 31 (Thursday). It was 100 km from Naha (difficult to go individually), and the "Yanbaru Tour" was easy since we arrived at the sightseeing spots while sleeping. I heard that there are many traffic accidents involving the Okinawa rail in "Kuina no Mori," so it was a good decision to come on a bus tour. Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 21, my flight was canceled, and I was at a loss about what to do for the day, but my savior, Veltra, was great for accommodating my sudden schedule change (same-day reservation). Thank you!

10/31（木）参加。那覇から１００ｋｍ（個人では行きにくい）、「やんばる周遊」　寝ている間に観光スポット着で楽チンでした。「クイナの森」でヤンバルクイナの交通事故が多いと聞いてバスツアーで来て正解でした。台風２１号の影響で飛行機が欠航、１日何しようと途方に暮れていた私の救世主【Veltra】さん、急なスケジュール変更（前日予約）にもOKでありがとさんです。

I had a fulfilling snorkeling experience! I saw a turtle! The sea was beautiful! No problems at all. The boat was great too! They even took photos for me!

充実したシュノーケルができたよ！カメ見れたし！海が綺麗だった！なんの問題もなし。船もよし！写真もとってくれた♪

I participated with a friend who was trying sea kayaking for the first time. Since it was a weekday, there were few participants, and we received very thorough explanations, which made it enjoyable. I had no problems with how to ride and operate the kayak! I learned about various creatures and the characteristics of plants, and I was very satisfied. Next time, I would like to join the sunset sea kayaking.

シーカヤックを初めてやるお友達と2人で参加しました。平日ということもあり、参加人数も少なくとってもゆっくり説明いただき楽しめました。特にカヤックの乗り方や操作は問題なくできました！いろんな生き物の説明や、植物の特徴なんかも知れて、大満足です。今度はサンセットのシーカヤックに参加してみたいです。

First of all, the jungle night tour was incredibly fun as it allowed us to explore a jungle that we could never have ventured into on our own! We were able to see snakes and coconut crabs as well. Since there were small children participating, it’s a tour you can join with peace of mind. As for the starry sky, we participated during a nearly full moon, so the moon was too bright and we couldn't see the stars very clearly. The guide told us that during the new moon, the stars are really beautiful, so I want to try again during the new moon! Just before the tour ended, the guide shared photos taken during the tour via AirDrop and other methods. It was a lot of fun, and I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Ishigaki!

まず、ジャングルナイトツアーは自分では絶対に行けないようなジャングルの中を探検できてすごく楽しかったです！ヘビやヤシガニなども見れました。小さなお子様も参加してらっしゃったので安心して行けるツアーです。星空は、私たちはほぼ満月の時に参加したので月が明るすぎてあまり綺麗に見れませんでした。ガイドさんから、新月の時はすごく綺麗に見えると教えてもらったので、次は新月の時にリベンジしたいです！
解散間際には、ガイドさんがツアー中に撮影した写真をエアードロップなどで共有してくれます。
とても楽しくてまた石垣に来た際は是非参加したいと思うツアーでした！

The pumpkin cave event was canceled, but I made the best memories during my first snorkeling experience! Not only was I able to see colorful fish and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, but I also got to preserve those memories with wonderful photos! Thank you!

パンプキン鍾乳洞は中止になってしまいましたが、初めてのシュノーケリングで最高の思い出ができました！
綺麗な海で色鮮やかな魚やウミガメを間近で見ることができただけでなく、思い出を素敵な写真としても残していただきました！
ありがとうございました！

Due to the approaching typhoon, the waves were somewhat high, but the staff ensured our safety, allowing us to go out to sea with peace of mind. Additionally, the conversations with the staff while we were out at sea were enjoyable and created great memories.

台風が近付いていたせいもあり多少、波が高かったのですがスタッフの方が安全に対応していただけたので安心して海に出る事ができました。また海に出てからのスタッフの会話も楽しく良い思い出になりました。

I started snorkeling at the last possible age and became captivated by it, so I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave this time. I got lost using the navigation from the car address. It's better to follow the shop's directions.

This time, my guide, T, was from the same hometown, and she was cute and very nice. Thanks to her explanations, I made wonderful and fun memories. Plus, since I participated alone, I enjoyed the luxury of a one-on-one experience. The colors of the Blue Cave are something you can't replicate with paint, and I saw various colors depending on the location and angle. It was beautiful.

I also had fun interacting with the fish while feeding them (laughs). The sea is close by, and there are showers and lockers for valuables. I definitely want to go again. Thank you very much!

シュノーケル出来る年齢もギリギリになってから始めて、魅力にハマって今回青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて参加しました。
車の住所からのナビで行くと迷ってしまった。お店の言う通りに行くのが良い。
今回ガイドのTさんが同郷で、可愛くてとても良い人で、彼女の説明で楽しく素敵な思い出が出来ました。そのうえ1人で参加だからマンツーマンと贅沢な待遇。青の洞窟は絵の具では出せない色で、場所や向きで色んな色も見れました。綺麗やったなぁ。
魚とも餌付け(笑)で戯れたりと、楽しかったです。海にも近いし、シャワーや貴重品ロッカーもあります。絶対にまた行きたいと思ってます。またよろしくお願いいたします。

I was originally scheduled to participate in a SUP tour at Kabira Bay, but due to the typhoon, I switched to a mangrove canoe tour. I was worried about whether the tour would take place since heavy rain was initially forecasted, but thankfully it held up, and the tour went ahead without any issues. The entire experience lasted just under three hours, and although the actual activity felt a bit short at an hour and a half, once I participated, I was overwhelmed by the richness of the content and the vastness of nature. It was a truly satisfying hour and a half!

I had never done canoeing before and felt anxious, but I was able to do much better than I expected, even as a beginner! It was an extraordinary experience that I couldn't have in my daily life. Thank you very much!

本来は川平湾のsupツアーに参加する予定でしたが、台風の影響でマングローブのカヌーツアーに変更しました。当初は大雨の予定でツアーが実施されるのか心配でしたがなんとか持ち堪え、無事決行されました。全体で3時間弱、体験自体は1時間半と少し短めなツアーに感じていましたが、いざ参加してみると内容の濃さと広大な自然に圧倒され、大満足の1時間半でした！
カヌー自体はやったことがなく、不安に感じていましたが、初心者でも思っていたよりうまくできました！日常では体験できることのない非日常な時間でした。ありがとうございました！

My snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding experience in Miyako Island was enjoyable and safe, even with a typhoon approaching, thanks to the careful attention to safety provided by the guides. Jumping into the crystal-clear sea, I was surrounded by colorful fish, and it was a wonderful moment to feel the beauty of nature. Encountering sea turtles twice was a special surprise, and I was moved by the graceful swimming of the turtles up close. This mystical experience in the ocean was healing for my heart and provided a precious time that made me forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I am also grateful to the guides who supported us to enjoy safely while facing nature. It was an unforgettable experience that makes me want to visit again.

宮古島でのシュノーケリングとサップ体験は、台風が接近している状況でも、安全面に十分配慮して案内してもらえたおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。透き通った海の中に飛び込むと、色とりどりの魚たちが泳ぎ、自然の美しさを肌で感じる素晴らしいひとときでした。そして、2度も海亀に出会えたのは特別な驚きで、間近で見る海亀の悠然とした泳ぎには感動しました。海の中での神秘的な体験に心が癒され、日常の喧騒を忘れさせてくれる貴重な時間でした。自然と向き合いながらも、安全に楽しめるようにサポートしてくれたガイドの方々にも感謝しています。またぜひ訪れたいと感じる、忘れられない体験となりました。

I went on a day trip to Ishigaki Island ✌
The tour we had planned was canceled on the day of, but thank you for accommodating us at such short notice.
Since it was our first experience with SUP, we were quite nervous. While others in the tour were standing and paddling, we were sitting and paddling the whole time, but we were able to enjoy it at our own pace.
The view of Kabira Bay while paddling was truly moving! The emerald green, crystal-clear Kabira Bay was amazing.
The guide mentioned, "This might be the best Kabira Bay of the year," and I really felt glad to have joined this tour!
Also, after the tour, we didn't have any specific plans and were just going to head to the airport, but the guide suggested that since we came all the way to Ishigaki, we should eat Ishigaki beef before leaving! I thought it might be difficult due to time constraints, but the guide recommended a yakiniku restaurant and dropped us off right in front of it, so we were able to enjoy Ishigaki beef before heading back.
Thank you for everything. It turned out to be the best day trip to Ishigaki Island!

日帰りで石垣島に✌
予定していたツアーが中止になり当日、、ほぼ直前の予約だったのですが快く対応して頂きありがとうございました
SUP初体験の2人だったので、、ビビりまくり、、一緒のツアーに参加した方は立って漕いでいる中私達はずっと座って漕いでいましたが私達のペースで楽しむ事が出来ました
SUPを漕ぎながら見る川平湾の景色はもう感動！！
エメラルドグリーンの透き通った川平湾は素晴らしかったです。
ガイドさんが「今年1の川平湾かもしれんな〜」と言われててこのツアーに参加して本当に良かった！！と思いました。
また、ツアー後特に予定を立てておらず空港に行く予定だったのですがせっかく石垣島来たなら石垣牛を食べて帰り！と言って下さったのですが、、時間がギリギリで難しいかもしれないな〜と思っていたのですが、ガイドさんオススメの焼肉屋を紹介して頂きお店の前で降ろして下さったので締めに石垣牛を食べて帰ることが出来ました‍♀️
何から何までありがとうございました。
最高の日帰り石垣島になりました

Due to the approaching typhoon, we only managed to participate in canoeing amidst several days of rain and strong winds. The instructor was kind and took many photos at various photo spots. The water was clear, so we could see plenty of fish swimming around. Canoeing requires quite a bit of physical strength, so having men in the group would be beneficial.

It's a shame that we couldn't do the Pumpkin Cave and snorkeling due to the bad weather. Miyako Island's weather can change quickly, and activities are heavily influenced by the weather, so it's best to keep in mind that there is a possibility of sudden cancellations on the day of your reservation. I would like to use this service again when the weather is nice. Thank you very much.

台風の接近により雨天と強風が何日も続く中、カヌーのみ何とか参加。インストラクターさんが親切で沢山フォトスポットで写真を撮ってくださいました。水が綺麗なのでお魚も沢山泳いでいるのが見えました。カヌーは結構体力使うので男性がいると良いと思います。

パンプキン鍾乳洞やシュノーケリングが悪天候のため出来なかったのが残念。宮古島は天気が変わりやすくアクティビティは天候にとても左右されるので、当日に急に中止になる可能性があることを念頭において予約した方が良いです。
天気の良い時にまたここを利用して参加したいです。ありがとうこざいました。

On October 28th (Tuesday) at 9 AM, we went snorkeling at the Blue Cave. It was mentioned that the Blue Cave might close later due to the typhoon's impact. However, it was a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and after the previous group left, we had the place to ourselves. My sister was delighted when a blue fish bit her while we were feeding the fish. This trip was a reward for my sister after taking care of our mother. It was her first time snorkeling, and we had a wonderful time playing with the fish and enjoying the stunning scenery, which became a treasured memory. Thank you to our very kind and fun guide.

10/28(火)9時
青の洞窟シュノーケル
当日　この後の時間からは青の洞窟閉鎖になるかも？台風の影響？とのことでしたらが
とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。青の洞窟はとても綺麗で前の団体さんが出てからは私たちの貸切で楽しめました。魚の餌やりでは青い魚に噛まれたと姉が嬉しそうにしてましたよ
母の介護終えた姉とのご褒美旅行でした。シュノーケル初の姉と最高の景色　魚さんたちと戯れ童心に返って楽しんだ時間は宝物になりました。
とても親切で楽しいガイドありがとうございました。

I participated in a morning mangrove kayak tour and an afternoon snorkeling tour. It was helpful that they accepted reservations even the night before.

During the morning mangrove kayak tour, we received a briefing on how to paddle, making it enjoyable even for beginners. I recommend wearing a swimsuit and clothes that can get dirty, as you surprisingly get wet from the river water.

The afternoon Blue Cave tour was changed to snorkeling at Ohsaki due to poor sea conditions from the typhoon. Although there was a change, the snorkeling time was longer, and I actually enjoyed it more. There were considerations for those who are not good at swimming, so I felt safe participating.

Additionally, the instructor shared recommendations for restaurants and information about Ishigaki Island during the car ride, making for a fun time! Thank you very much.

午前マングローブカヤック、午後シュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。前日夜の予約でも受付可能だったので助かりました。
午前のマングローブカヤックでは、最初に漕ぎ方のレクチャーがあり、初心者でも楽しむことができました。意外に川の水で濡れるので水着＋汚れてもいい服装をおすすめします。
午後の青の洞窟ツアーは台風影響で海の状態が良くないため、大崎でのシュノーケルへ変更となりました。
変更にはなりましたが、シュノーケルの時間が長く、むしろ楽しむことができたと思います。泳ぎが苦手な方への配慮もあり安心して参加できました。
また、インストラクターの方は移動中車内てもオススメのお店や、石垣島について紹介してくださり楽しい時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました。

Snorkeling was a wonderful experience at the offshore point, especially with the weather being so pleasant. The only slight disappointment was that the coral seemed to be lacking vitality. Perhaps it's due to global warming and the high sea temperatures. This experience made me think about what I can do to help protect the environment. The Phantom Island is incredibly beautiful. It's definitely worth a visit.

シュノーケリングは沖合のポイントで、しかも天気にも恵まれてとても気持ちよく体験できました。少し残念なのは、サンゴが元気のない感じだったことぐらいですね。温暖化で海水温が高すぎるのでしょうか。環境を守るために自分にできることはと考える体験となりました。幻の島は、とにかくキレイですよ。一見の価値が大アリです。

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy, I was able to observe insects and coconut crabs. I couldn't see the starry sky at all, but walking through the mountains in the rain was also enjoyable.

あいにくの雨模様でしたが昆虫、ヤシガニなど観察できました。
星空は全く見えませんでしたが雨の中山中を歩くのも楽しかったです。

I participated with my 6th-grade son and another person.

In the morning, we took on canyoning for the first time! We were provided with helmets, life jackets, and marine shoes. The marine shoes had a special sole that made them slip-resistant on rocky surfaces, so we could enjoy ourselves without worry. The beautiful river looked like something out of a Studio Ghibli movie, and our excitement was at its peak!

We slid down a water slide on the rocks and jumped off high cliffs, with both adults and kids screaming in delight as we made big splashes. Our guide, Yama-chan, took lots of photos, which made us very happy. There was a small child in our group, and Yama-chan was thoughtful enough to help find spots where they could jump from lower heights, which was great.

Around 11 AM, we returned to the port still in our wet swimsuits for a lunch break. We had two hours before the afternoon tour, and since it was hot, we relaxed and had lunch while drying off our swimsuits.

In the afternoon, we went on a SUP and kayak tour. We were given life jackets and marine shoes again. The scenery was stunning, with mangroves growing thickly on both sides, and I felt so glad I had come all this way.

As we continued, the river gradually narrowed, giving us a full jungle cruise experience. We all landed at a dry spot to carefully observe the mangroves and wildlife. We took lots of photos, creating wonderful memories.

小6の息子と３人で参加しました。
午前中まずはキャニオニングに初挑戦！
ヘルメットとライフジャケット、マリンシューズを貸して貰いました。マリンシューズは岩場でも滑りにくい特殊なソールなので安心して楽しめました。ジブリ映画に出てきそうな綺麗な川でテンションMAX !
岩場のウォータースライダーを滑ったり、高い岩から大人も子供もキャーキャー言いながら豪快にジャンプして飛び込んだりしました。
ガイドの山ちゃんがまめに写真を撮ってくれて嬉しかった。
同じグループに小さな子が参加していたのですが、低い位置からジャンプ出来る場所を探してくれたり、山ちゃんの細やかな配慮も良かったです。
11時頃、濡れた水着のまま港に戻って各自お昼休憩。午後のツアーまでに２時間あり、暑かったので水着を乾かしながらのんびりお昼ご飯を食べました。

午後はサップとカヤックツアー
ライフジャケットとマリンシューズを貸して貰いました。両側にマングローブがワシワシ生えていてザ▪西表島な景色に感動、遥々来て良かったなーとつくづく思いました。
途中からどんどん川幅が狭くなりジャングルクルーズ感満載、干上がった所で皆で上陸してマングローブや生き物をじっくり観察しました。
写真も沢山撮って貰えて良い思い出となりました。

It was quite difficult at first until I got the hang of it, but once I did, it was so much fun! Despite the approaching typhoon, we were blessed with beautiful seas, scenery, and the best weather, allowing us to have an incredibly enjoyable time that flew by! We did drone filming and took a lot of photos, and in the end, they put everything together into one video! I keep watching that video and am so moved! Coming to Miyako Island, I received the best souvenir! The instructors were all very kind!

コツを掴むまで、なかなか上手くいかなくて難しかったけど、慣れてくると凄く楽しかったです！
台風が近づいてるのにも関わらず、綺麗な海と景色と、最高の天気に恵まれて、すごく楽しいあっという間な時間を過ごせました！
ドローン撮影や、写真を沢山撮って頂いて、最後にひとつの動画にして頂けました！その動画を何回も見て感動しています！！宮古島に来て、最高のお土産を貰えました！インストラクターさんも優しい方ばかりでした！

I was nervous about my first snorkeling experience, but the guide was kind and I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea! I got to see not only sea turtles but also clownfish and many vibrant blue fish, making it the best snorkeling experience ever!

初めてのシュノーケリングでドキドキでしたが、
ガイドさんが優しくとても綺麗な海を満喫出来ました！
ウミガメだけでなくクマノミや、鮮やかな青い魚などをたくさん見ることができ、最高のシュノーケリングになりました！

As mentioned in the title, we were unable to enter the limestone cave due to the typhoon, but we were able to experience SUP and canoeing.

Originally, it seemed like the plan was for only one of the activities, and I experienced canoeing, but thanks to the guide's recommendation, I was also able to try SUP.

Both were my first experiences, but I think with the guide's thorough explanations, I could manage the operations to some extent.

The guide can take photos for you, so you might not need to bring your own camera.

Although we couldn't experience the Pumpkin Limestone Cave, it was still a very good experience.

タイトルに記載していますが台風の影響で鍾乳洞に入ることができず、SUPとカヌーの体験ができました

本来はどちらか片方のみのプランのようで私はカヌーの方の体験しましたが、ガイドの方の勧めでSUPも体験できました。

どちらも初めてでしたが、ガイドの方からの丁寧な説明を受ければ操作はある程度できると思います。

写真はガイドの方が撮ってもらえるので無理して持ってこなくてもいいかもしれません。

パンプキン鍾乳洞の体験はできませんでしたが、とても良い体験ができました。

Initially, I had signed up for the Pumpkin Cave & Sea Kayaking + Snorkeling + SUP plan, but I received a notification the day before that due to the impact of the typhoon and safety considerations, the plan would be changed to exclude the Pumpkin Cave & Sea Kayaking. (I was also informed that the participation fee would be adjusted accordingly.)

On the day of the tour, the wind and waves were indeed strong due to the typhoon, and I was anxious until just before the tour started. However, it was confirmed that the tour could proceed at Shigira Beach, so I was able to participate. The instructor, Nao, was very friendly, and throughout the tour, she shared various information about the sea and little tidbits about Miyako Island, which made it very enjoyable.

There was one instructor for every four groups of eight participants, allowing for a smooth entry into the water without any waiting time. They explained how to enter the water and the precautions, so I felt reassured! We practiced snorkeling in shallow water right after entering, which helped ease any anxiety I had about going into the sea.

Wearing a life jacket kept me afloat. I was lucky to see beautiful coral, many colorful fish, including clownfish, and even encountered two sea turtles, which I had almost given up on seeing. Nao also took photos and videos with a GoPro.

The snorkeling session ended in the morning. Shortly after, due to the typhoon's impact, swimming was prohibited at Shigira Beach, so I felt really fortunate. Nao recommended a restaurant for lunch, and after that, we regrouped for the SUP experience at Imugya Marine Garden.

In the afternoon, the wind had picked up even more, but we were able to proceed with the SUP experience as planned. It was my first time trying SUP, and I had some anxiety, but after receiving thorough instructions, we practiced before officially starting, which made me feel secure. I learned some tips and was able to stand on the SUP, which left me very satisfied.

Despite participating in the tour with the typhoon approaching, the tour was conducted with safety in mind, and I was able to fully enjoy the waters of Miyako Island. I thought that when I come back to Miyako Island, I would like to experience the Pumpkin Cave & Sea Kayaking that I missed this time.

当初はパンプキン鍾乳洞&シーカヤック+シュノーケリング+SUPプランでの申し込みでしたが、前日のお昼に台風の影響で安全に配慮し、パンプキン鍾乳洞&シーカヤックを除くプランに変更になる旨の連絡を頂きました。（プランが変更になる為、参加費用も該当プランへ変更になる旨もお伝え頂きました）
ツアー当日はやはり台風の影響で風も波も強くなっておりツアーが開催されるか直前までドキドキでしたが、ツアー開催地のシギラビーチでは開催可能との事でツアーに参加できました。インストラクターのなおさんがとてもきさくで、 ツアー中も色々と海の事や宮古島のプチ情報もガイド中に教えていただけとてもたのしかったです。
1人のインストラクターに8名4組での案内でした。 海での待ち時間なくスムーズに入れました。入り方や注意事項も説明いただけるので心配はいらなかったです！海に入ってすぐ浅いところでシュノーケルの練習もしっかりしてからのスタートなので不安なく海にむかえました。
ライフジャケット着用なので浮きます。
綺麗な珊瑚、カクレクマノミをはじめ沢山の綺麗なお魚、そしてあきらめていたウミガメさんにも2匹も遭遇する事が出来てとてもラッキーでした。
インストラクターのなおさんが写真や動画もゴープロで撮ってくれました。
シュノーケリングは午前中で終わりました。その直後には、台風の影響でシギラビーチも遊泳禁止になっていたので本当にラッキーでした。
インストラクターのなおさんにおすすめのお店を教えて頂きランチ後、再びSUP体験のためイムギャーマリンカーデンに再集合しました。
午後になると更に風が強くなっていましたが、予定通りSUP体験ができました。
SUPは初体験で不安もありましたが、しっかりとレクチャーを受けてから海へ、さらに練習してから本格的にスタートするので安心して参加できました。コツを教えて頂きSUPの上に立つ事もでき大満足でした。
台風が近づいている中でのツアー参加になりましたが、安全に配慮してのツアー開催となり宮古島の海を満喫できました。
今回、行く事ができなかったパンプキン鍾乳洞&シーカヤックにまた宮古島に来た際は体験したいなぁと思いました。
