All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The guides were very good! During the bus rides and activities, they provided detailed explanations about the island and occasionally lightened the mood with jokes. They repeatedly pointed out slightly dangerous areas and places to be cautious about, which allowed us to enjoy the experience safely and securely.

For canoeing, since you receive a lecture at the beginning, I think it's helpful to listen to tips on paddling to avoid getting too tired. Also, when it's windy, you can get wet easily, so a change of clothes is essential! (We forgot and returned feeling uncomfortable.)

The restaurants on Iriomote Island and the coffee shop on Yubu Island were also very good!

ガイドさんたちがとても良かったです！バスの移動中や、アクティビティ中も丁寧に島の説明をしてくださったり、時々ジョークなどで盛り上げてくださいました。少し危ない所や注意すべき所など、何度もおっしゃっていただき、安心安全に楽しむことができました。
カヌーは、最初にレクチャー受けるので、漕ぐ際のコツなど聞いておくと、疲れにくいと思います。また、風が強い際は濡れやすいので着替えは必須です！！(私たちは忘れて気持ち悪いまま帰ったので)
西表島のご飯屋さんや由布島のコーヒー屋さんもとてもよかったです！

I wanted to do a night jungle exploration and stargazing, so I searched various sites, and I found that Veltra had the lowest price and very good reviews, so I decided to book with them.

The stargazing was on a full moon night, so I couldn't see much, but the full moon sky was bright and very beautiful.

During the jungle exploration, I was very moved to see many creatures! I encountered a coconut crab twice, and there were also rare crabs and hermit crabs!

Finally, they took us to an observation deck where we could even see fireflies, which made me very satisfied!

The guide was handsome, very nice, and knowledgeable, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. They also took photos for us and sent them for free later, creating great memories.

I highly recommend not only this night jungle tour but also the tours from ADVENTURE PiPi!!!

ナイトジャングル探検＋星空鑑賞がしたくて色々なサイトで探したのですがベルトラさんが最安値でとても評判が良かったのでこちらで申し込みさせて頂きました。
星空鑑賞は満月の日だったのであまり見れなかったですが満月の星空も明るくてとても綺麗でした。
ジャングル探検はたくさんの生き物を見れてとても感動しました！
ヤシガニも2回遭遇できて他にも珍しいカニ、ヤドカリがいました！
最後に展望台に連れて行ってもらいホタルまで見れてとても満足でした！
ガイドさんがイケメンでとてもいい良い方で知識が豊富で、大人も子供も楽しめると思います。
写真も撮ってくださり、後で無料で送ってもらえて良い思い出になりました。
こちらのナイトジャングルツアーはもちろんのこと、ADVENTURE PiPiさんのツアーはとてもおすすめです！！！

The round-trip car service to the hotel was very helpful.

The course felt like it was going through a jungle, with moments where we had to push through between trees and navigate some thrilling ups and downs that made me wonder if we were really going this way. It was a night cruise that offered an experience not easily found in Tokyo, and it was quite interesting! 😊

I was happy to see a hawk, frogs, scorpions, and coconut crabs this time!

The weather was nice, and we were able to see a beautiful full moon! Even with the lights off, the moonlight was so bright that it cast shadows, which surprised me.

Next time I come to Iriomote Island, I want to see a beautiful starry sky!

ホテルまで行き帰りの車での送迎サービスがあったので、助かりました。

ジャングルの中を入っていくようなコースで、木と木の間をかき分けて進んでいく場面があったり、ここ進んでいくの？と思うような段差を下ったり上がったりとスリルもあって、なかなか東京では体験できないナイトクルーズだったので面白かったです☺️

今回はハブ、かえる、サソリ、ヤシガニなどを見ることができて嬉しかったです！

天気が良くてきれいな満月も見れました！ライトを消しても月明かりだけでも影ができるほど夜なのに明るくて驚きました。

次、西表島に来る時はきれいな星空を見たいです！

We participated as a family of four.
It was our first experience with stand-up paddleboarding, but the environment at the tour location was calm, and the guide's explanations were concise and good.
There were times we were delayed, but there was no atmosphere of pressure, and we were grateful for their patience.

The snorkeling location was changed due to the weather on the day, but the water was clear, and even in deeper areas, visibility was good, which made it enjoyable (though this depends on the weather).
I had no particular complaints and had a great time. Thank you!

家族4名で参加しました
SUPは初めての体験でしたが、ツアー場所の環境が穏やかで、担当の方の説明も簡潔で良かったです
途中遅れる事もありましたが、焦らせるような雰囲気もなく、根気よくおつきあいいただけてありがたかったです

シュノーケリングは当日の天候により場所が変更になりましたが、透明度が高く、深いエリアでも視界が開けていて楽しめました（この辺りは天候次第ですが）
特に不満もなく楽しめました。ありがとうございました

I participated in a tour this time because it's not easy to visit the northern attractions alone. It included the power spot at Daishi Forest, which I've wanted to visit for years, as well as the cute Okinawa Rail and Cape Hedo—it's the perfect itinerary for me.

First, we went to the national park, and there were plenty of souvenirs at the roadside station. The lemon cake was delicious. After that, we had lunch and headed to Cape Hedo, where the scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed some tasty seafood.

Daishi Forest was indeed wonderful. There are three different routes, but I couldn't see everything I wanted to, yet I managed to explore two of the courses. The experience was incredibly impressive.

I thought there would be many Okinawa Rails, but I only saw one. It was cute, though. Overall, it was a satisfying day.

北部観光はなかなか一人ではいけないので、今回ツアーに参加しました。何年か前から行ってみたかった大石林山のパワースポットや可愛いヤンバルクイナ、辺戸岬が入っているわたしには最高の工程です。まずは、国立公園へ、道の駅でもお土産がたくさんありました。レモンケーキ美味しかった。その後はランチして辺戸岬へ、景色も綺麗で美味しい海鮮もいただきました。
大石林山は、やっぱり素敵でした。ルートが3他に分かれているのですが、見たいとこだけみることはできずそれでも2コース回ってきました。大迫力で最高です。
ヤンバルクイナは、たくさんいるのかなって思いきや、1羽。でも可愛かったです。
全体的に満足の一日でした。

It became a wonderful memory!!

Many of the staff members are really nice people. They teach you various things, from the characteristics of the beach to the types of fish!

The weather was great, and the Miyako Blue was beautiful! The staff took photos and videos with a drone and iPhone, providing them on the spot! The quality of the photos and videos is also very high, making me want to visit Miyako Island again!

If anyone is hesitating about participating, you should definitely join!

いい思い出になりました！！

スタッフさんは、とてもいい人たちが多いです。
ビーチの特徴や魚の種類まで色々教えてくれます！

天気がよかったこともあり、みやこブルーが綺麗でした！それを、スタッフさんがドローンやiPhoneで撮影し、その場で写真や動画を提供してくれます！写真と動画のクオリティーも非常に高く、また宮古島に訪れたいと思わせてくれます！

参加に迷っている方がいれば、絶対に参加した方が良いです！！

I was amazed by the beauty of the ocean when I entered with my snorkel! The clarity was incredible!! The fish and coral were colorful, and I felt like I could watch them forever.

I was grateful for the photos taken with the GoPro. I made wonderful memories.

Onboard services:
Drinks = Water, available from a server in paper cups
Showers = 2 booths, just enough to rinse off seawater
Restrooms = 2
Changing rooms = 2
Bath towels

I noticed a few people looking unwell, so I think it's a good idea for those who are concerned to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Also, even if you are staying at a hotel in Naha City, the pickup may be from the nearest designated hotel.

I definitely want to visit again, so I look forward to it next time.

シュノーケルをつけて海に入ったら海の美しさにびっくり！
透明度がすごい!!
魚と珊瑚がカラフルで、ずっと見ていられると思いました。

Go-proでの写真撮影はありがたかったです。
すてきな思い出ができました。

船内のサービス
ドリンク ＝ 水　サーバーから紙コップでいただきます
シャワー ＝ 2ブース　海水を流す程度
トイレ ＝ 2つ
更衣室 ＝ 2つ
バスタオル

気分の悪そうな人が何名かいらっしゃったので、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。

尚、送迎は那覇市内のホテルに宿泊していても、最寄りの指定ホテルになる場合があります。

是非再訪したいと思っていますので、その時はよろしくお願いします。

- We had three groups for snorkeling, parasailing, and banana boat plans, so there was no waiting, and everything wrapped up smoothly in two hours.
- I think a smartphone case with a strap for underwater use is essential. The wind can blow your phone away, and you might get splashed.
- You can leave your car keys at the store.
- There is no canopy on the boat for parasailing. They said it's at your own risk to wear a hat, so I wore one with a chin strap, but without a strap, it might fly off due to the wind pressure.
- The banana boat went slowly at first, then picked up speed, and we screamed a lot. You get quite wet.
- For snorkeling, the water was clear, and I enjoyed the shallow areas with fish. You'll definitely want to take photos.
- On the way back from the offshore area, we circled around Sesoko Island and got to see Sesoko Bridge from below.

〇シュノーケリング、パラセイリング、バナナボート全部のプランで、参加者が3組だったので順番待ちも無く、2時間でスムーズに終わりました。
〇紐がついた水中で使えるスマホケースは、必須だと思います。風で携帯が吹っ飛んだり、水が掛かります。
〇車の鍵を店舗で預かってもらえます。
〇パラセイリングは船にひさしが無いです。自己責任で帽子かぶって良いとのことだったのであごヒモ付きの帽子を被ったのですが、紐がないと風圧で飛ぶと思います。
〇バナナボートは前半はゆっくり、後半は結構な速さで走って、キャーキャー言いました。水を結構被ります。
〇シュノーケリングは、水が透明で魚のいる浅瀬を堪能出来ました。絶対、写真撮影したくなります。
〇沖からの帰りは瀬底島をボートで1周、瀬底大橋を下から見られました。

Since we arrived at Ishigaki Island in the morning, we decided to take advantage of a half-day tour and made a reservation here. The hotel was close to the ferry terminal, so the shuttle service was very convenient.

The activities were enjoyable and filled the time perfectly. We had a great snorkeling experience while learning about many unique creatures (not just fish, but also shells) from the staff in the waters around Ishigaki Island.

Maboroshi Island was a mysterious space. The staff set up stylish poles as markers, allowing us to take beautiful photos. The GoPro rental was very convenient and worked well for us. We brought our own memory card, but they also provide one for a small fee, so either option is fine.

It became a wonderful memory for us. Thank you to all the staff!

午前中に石垣島へ到着する便だったので、せっかくだから半日ツアーを利用したいと思い、こちらを予約しました。
離島ターミナルに近いホテルだったので、送迎ＯＫだったのは、とても便利でした。
肝心のアクティビティは、時間いっぱい楽しめる内容でした。
石垣島近辺の海でたくさん珍しい生き物（魚だけではなく貝など）をスタッフさんに教えていただきながら、楽しいシュノーケリングが出来ました。
幻の島は不思議な空間でした。
ここではスタッフさんが目印のおしゃれなポールを立ててくださるので、映える写真を撮れます。
Ｇｏｐｒｏレンタルは、とても便利で良かったです。
私たちはメモリー持参しましたが、有償（安価）で用意してくださるので、どちらでもＯＫだと思います。
とても素敵な思い出となりました。
スタッフの皆様、ありがとうございました。

Among the various canoe tours available, I was captivated by the beauty of Kabira Bay and decided to book this canoe tour. We were blessed with great weather and I was very satisfied! The sea changed color from transparent to emerald green depending on the sunlight, and the scenery was so beautiful that I found myself stopping to paddle many times! The guide was kind and shared recommendations for spots on the island, making it a fun trip! As a beginner, I found the instructions on how to use the canoe and the shuttle service to be very attentive, and I had a wonderful time! Thank you!

色々なカヌーツアーがある中、川平湾の美しさに心を奪われ、こちらのカヌーツアーを予約させていただきました。
天気にも恵まれ、とても大満足でした！
陽の当たり方で透明〜エメラルドグリーンに色が変わって見える海、景色が美しすぎてカヌーを漕ぐ手が何度も止まってしまいました！
ガイドさんも優しく、島のおすすめスポットも教えてくださり、楽しい旅になりました！
初心者でしたが、カヌーの使い方やバス送迎などの対応も丁寧で、とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

We departed as scheduled at 19:30 and arrived at our destination in about 30 minutes! ^_^ Although we couldn't see the stars due to the weather, we were able to see a lot of coconut crabs!!! We also saw many creatures in a jungle-like area, which was great! ^_^

Additionally, whenever we encountered animals along the way, the guide would stop and catch them to bring into the car, which was an amazing hospitality experience!!! Thank you very much!!!!

予定通り19:30に出発し、30分ほどで目的地へ到着^_^！！！
天候により星は見られませんでしたが、ヤシガニをたくさんみることが出来ました！！！！！
他にもジャングルなようなところでたくさん生き物を見れたのでよかったです^_^！！！！

そして、道中に生き物がいたりしたらその都度止まってくださり、車内に捕まえて持ってきてくださったりとおもてなしが最高でした！！！！！
ありがとうございました！！！！！！！！！！

I took my 3-year-old child with me. It was our first time trekking with a child, and also our first experience with canoeing! I was worried about whether we would make it to the end safely, but our guide, Mr. Ishitaka, was such a wonderful person that I had no need to worry! He was also very entertaining!

We were able to observe nature and see various wildlife, including the crowned eagle, insects, and the Okinawa tree lizard, and we got to interact with many of them. My child was very curious about everything.

While enjoying the natural beauty of the Myra River, we also had fun playing in the waterfall pool, making it an enjoyable time for both adults and children. My child relaxed in the waterfall pool and sang "Under the Sea" (though it wasn't the sea) and "Let It Go" (even though it wasn't winter). Overall, I had some concerns about our physical stamina (since we don't usually exercise), but we were able to enjoy the magnificent jungle of Iriomote Island without overdoing it.

The special Yaeyama soba made by the Ishitaka family for lunch and the souvenir cake were truly delicious! If I have the chance again, I would love to go with my child when they are older! (I want to jump into the waterfall pool next time!)

3歳の子どもを連れて行きました。
子連れで初めてのトレッキング…カヌーも初体験！はたして最後まで無事に辿り着けるのか心配でしたが、ガイドの五十畑さんがとてもとても良い方で心配無用でした！そして面白い！
自然観察もカンムリワシなどの野鳥をはじめ…虫、キノボリトカゲなどたくさん見たり触れ合ったりすることができました。我が子は色々なものに興味津々でした。
マイラ川の自然をたくさん感じながら、滝壺では水遊びもでき、大人も子どもも楽しい時間を過ごせました。我が子は滝壺で気持ちもリラックスしてきて「アンダーザ・シー」(シーではないですが)、「レット・イット・ゴー」(冬でもないですが)を熱唱してました。全体を通して、体力など心配な面もありましたが(普段運動してないのですが)無理なく、西表島の大自然のジャングルを満喫することができました。
昼食の五十畑家特製の八重山そば、お土産のケーキ本当に美味しかったです！
また機会があれば、大きくなった子どもと一緒に行きたいです！(その時は滝壺へジャンプしたいです！)

When I received the notification about the time change, I was a bit worried, but thanks to that, the tide was at the best time and everything went smoothly. The guide, "Nogi-chan," had such a good tempo in his explanations that my excitement couldn't help but rise. The weather was nice, and even though I had heard that canoeing could be tough, I didn't feel tired at all while paddling. Before I knew it, we arrived at the entrance of the cave. Just as I thought, "Is this really it...?" we entered the cave. Inside was five times more than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied. It was a tour that felt like all the stress accumulated in the city was instantly cleansed away. I definitely want to go again!

時間変更の連絡を頂いた時はちょっと心配になりましたが、おかげさまで潮位もベストな時間でスムーズな進行でした。ガイド”のぎちゃん”のテンポの良い説明に否が応でもテンションが上がります。天気もいい日で、大変だというお話のカヌーも、全く疲れ感じずパドリング。波の上をしばし楽しんでいるうちに洞窟の入口へと到着。え、ここが・・と思うのもつかの間、洞窟の中に。中は想像５倍のたっぷりな内容で大満足。都会で溜まったどろどろがスパーンと何処かに浄化される、あっと言う間のツアーとなりました。また是非に行きたい！

The north wind was strong, so we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island, but we received a call the day before and were able to switch to canoeing. The boat to Uehara Port was also canceled, but they came to pick us up at Ohara Port, allowing us to smoothly enjoy the sightseeing at Yufu Island.

Although it was a large group tour, the group arrangements were made in advance, which allowed for a very smooth progression. However, there was no bureaucratic feel at all; we were able to enjoy the activities while listening to the staff's fun talks. After the activities, they provided transportation close to our hotel and quickly sent us the photos. Outdoor activities can be affected by the weather, but they were flexible while being well-planned and considerate. The response was quick and polite, including the prior communication. I would like to use pipi again.

北風が強く、バラス島シュノーケルはできませんでしたが、前日に電話をいただきカヌーへ変更することができました。上原港行きの船も欠航でしたが、大原港まで迎えにきていただき、由布島観光からスムーズに楽しむことができました。
大人数のツアーでしたが、グループ編成は事前にされており、かなりスムーズに進行出来るように配慮されていました。しかし事務的な感じは一切なく、スタッフさんの楽しいトークを聞きながらアクティビティができました。アクティビティ後はホテル近くまで送迎をしてくれたり、すぐに写真も送ってくださいました。天候に左右される野外アクティビティですが、臨機応変でありながらしっかりプランニングされており、配慮満点。事前連絡含めて迅速かつ丁寧な対応でした。またpipiさんを利用したいです。

I was able to encounter various creatures while canoeing and trekking, and the entire day felt refreshing. Thanks to the enjoyable conversations during the challenging mountain trails, the time flew by. It was a precious experience that will be a lifelong memory. The Yaeyama soba I ate while enjoying the wonderful view from above the waterfall, and the water play in the basin of the waterfall—everything was fantastic.

カヌーでもトレッキングでも色々な生き物に出会うことが出来て、1日中新鮮でした
過酷な山道の間も楽しく会話してくださったおかけであっという間に感じました
貴重な体験をさせていただいて一生の思い出です。
滝の上で素晴らしい景色を見ながら食べた八重山そば、滝壺での水遊び、すべてが最高でした。

Wowww
The shuttle bus, boat, and schedule were all on time. The staff explained everything in either Japanese, English, or Mandarin, which is so important for non-local travelers. My diving coach Gavin made sure we understood everything before diving. His explanation in English made such a difference to my first diving experience. I really appreciate having him as my diving coach this time! The boat captain was also attentive to adjust my snorkel goggle. My Japanese snorkel leader was attentive to bring me a floating board when I needed it.
Overall, I feel this tour is so welcoming to all travelers, which is amazing and a good surprise to me!
I will definitely be interested in joining their tours in the future again!
Hope they will keep up their excellent work!

After 20 years, I visited Miyako Island, and I couldn't miss the chance to play in the beautiful waters, so I decided to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). I was quite worried about whether I could manage it since it had been so long since I did any water sports, but to my surprise, I was able to do it more easily than I expected (laughs).

Many of the other participants were also trying it for the first time, but they quickly got the hang of it and were having fun! I think the guide's timely encouragement was the key to our improvement. She was very friendly and cute, and it was a nice surprise to find out we were from the same hometown, which made me feel a sense of closeness.

And above all, the sunset viewed from the water was exceptional and truly created wonderful memories. I believe it's an experience that doesn't come around often! Additionally, the daytime temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, but once the sun went down, we were really grateful that we didn't have to worry about the heat or sunlight!

20年振りの宮古島、宮古の海で遊ばない訳にはいかないのでSUPに挑戦してきました。久しぶりすぎるマリンスポーツのうえ初SUPはできるのか？！と心配は大きかったのですが思った以上にできる（笑）
他の参加者の方も初体験の方が多かったのですが直ぐにコツをつかんで遊んでいました！！
ガイドさんがいいタイミングで声をかけてくれるのが上達の秘訣になったと思います♪とても気さくでカワイイガイドさん。まさかの同郷だったりして急に親近感でした。
そして、なんといっても海の上から見るサンセットは格別で本当に素敵な思い出になりました。なかなかできない経験だと思います！
また、この日の昼の気温が30度を超えていたのですが、日が落ちて気温も日差しも気にならなかったのも私たちにとっては本当にありがたかったです！！

I chose this tour because I wanted to see the sunset over the ocean. It was both of our first times on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), but thanks to our guide, Nao, we were able to ride it well. It was fun to paddle along, and falling in because we got a bit too carried away became a great memory. This tour allowed us to experience it in a calm area of the bay, which was very nice. The conversations with Nao were enjoyable, and we bonded over the fact that we happened to be from the same hometown, which made it even more fun. I definitely want to join pipi's tour again when I come back to Miyako Island.

サンセットを海の上から見たくてこのツアーを選びました。2人共初めてのSUPでしたがガイドのナオさんのおかげで上手に乗ることができました。SUPで進んで行くのも楽しく調子に乗り過ぎて落ちてしまったのもいい思い出です。このツアーでは湾の中で波の穏やかな所で体験出来るのでとても良かったです。ナオさんとの会話も楽しく地元がたまたま同じでその話でも盛り上がりとても楽しかったです。また宮古島に来る時はぜひpipiさんのツアーに参加したいと思います。

For about an hour, the instructor guided us on how to ride and paddle, as well as the best spots for stand-up paddleboarding. Although it was shallow, there were plenty of fish, and the color of the sea visible from the clear paddleboard was a beautiful cobalt blue with transparent water. Paddleboarding in such a beautiful place like Miyako Island was refreshing, and I had a wonderful time.

The staff from the operating company were kind and friendly, which made it easy to enjoy the activity with peace of mind. However, I think sun protection is essential due to the intense direct sunlight.

They also took images with a drone and captured several photos with an iPhone. In the end, they created a video using the drone footage, which became a great memory.

1時間程度、インストラクターの方に乗り方とか漕ぎ方、サップしていい場所の指導をしていただきました。浅瀬でしたが、お魚も沢山いて、クリアサップから見える海の色は綺麗なコバルトブルーの透き通った水で、宮古島のような海の綺麗な場所でのサップは気持ちよく、素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
運営会社の人たちも優しくて、いい人たちばかりで、安心してアクティビティを楽しめました。
ただ、直射日光がすごいので、日焼け対策は必須だと思います。
ドローンから画像撮影していただいたり、何枚かiPhoneで写真を撮っていただきました。最後にはドローン画像を使った動画も作って頂き、いい思い出になりました。

We participated as a couple!
The weather wasn't great during our stay, so we were unsure about doing any activities, but we thought we could give this a try. As expected, it was sunny on the day of the activity, which made us even happier.
The guide was energetic and friendly, and there were foreigners in our group as well. The guide spoke English fluently, so I think it's reassuring for international visitors!
Canoeing to the Pumpkin Cave was just the right distance to enjoy.
Inside the cave, we could climb up and explore, and at the end, we even got to jump and drop down, which was thrilling!
It lasted just under two hours, so afterward, we went to the beach recommended by the guide and were able to see sea turtles.
Thank you very much!

夫婦で参加しました！
滞在中は天気が良くなかったので
アクティビティーをするか迷ったのですが
これならいけそうと思いチャレンジ。
案の定、当日は晴れたのでさらに気持ちもhappyでした。
ガイドのお兄さんも元気で気さくな方で
グループに外国人の方もいて
お兄さんは英語もペラペラでした^ ^
海外の方でも安心だと思います！
カヌーでパンプキン鍾乳洞まで向かうのも
丁度良い距離感で楽しめました。
鍾乳洞の中も上まで登って中も探索でき
最後はジャンプして飛び降りることもできて
スリルを味わえました〜
時間も2時間弱だったのでその後はお兄さんに
おすすめしていただいたビーチに行って
ウミガメも見ることができました^ ^
ありがとうございました！

My first experience at the Pumpkin Cave!
It was so much fun canoeing to the cave! Splashing around!
Inside the cave was truly, truly mystical!
It was exactly like a pumpkin!
I was so impressed!
Thanks to the Nogi-chan guide, I made wonderful memories of Miyako Island!
Nogi-chan is excellent!
The last boat transport might have been the best workout!? Haha

パンプキン鍾乳洞初体験っ！
カヌーで鍾乳洞まで楽しく！チャプチャプ！
鍾乳洞の中はなんとなんと！神秘的すぎる！
正にパンプキンだったーっ！
秀樹感激！
のぎチャンガイドでとっても楽しい素敵な宮古島の思い出が出来ましたっ！
のぎチャンエクセレントっ！
最後のボート運びは1番の運動だったかも！？笑

Walking along the mountain path at night was initially scary, but thanks to the guide's clear instructions, I was able to enjoy the walk. I encountered various animals like coconut crabs and frogs, and I was moved by seeing the Milky Way for the first time. It was a tour that left me very satisfied.

夜の山道、初めは怖かったけど、ガイドさんのわかりやすい案内で楽しく歩けました。ヤシガニやカエルなど、いろんな動物にも会えたし、初めて見た天の川に感動したし、大満足のツアーでした。

I experienced kayaking and a tour of Yubu Island. The kayaking was absolutely amazing! It seems that Iriomote Island usually has a lot of rain, but we were lucky to have rare clear weather during our experience, which felt great. Paddling through the mangroves felt like exploring a jungle, and I believe it was an experience unique to this tour. The instructor took many wonderful photos (and we received the data for free!), and the explanations were thorough, which made me very satisfied.

I also thoroughly enjoyed my first experience riding a water buffalo during the tour of Yubu Island. After arriving at Uehara Port, there was a shuttle service available, so it was easy to enjoy without a rental car. I definitely want to try another tour next time.

カヤックと由布島観光を体験しました。
カヤックはとにかく最高でした！西表島は雨が多いようですが、私たちが体験したときは珍しく快晴だったようで、気持ちよかったです。マングローブの中はまるでジャングルの中を探検している感覚になるような空間で、きっとこのツアーでしか体験できないようなものだったと思います。インストラクターの方は素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってくださり(しかも無料でデータをもらえました！)、解説等も充実していてとても満足です。
その後の由布島観光も初めての水牛乗車を満喫できました。
上原港についてから、もちろん送迎もあるのでレンタカー無しで十分楽しめます。
ぜひ、次回は別のツアーを体験したいと思いました。

I went to Yubu Island by mangrove canoe and riding a water buffalo!
It was my first time canoeing, but the guide taught me patiently, and I really enjoyed it!
The water buffalo that takes you to Yubu Island was very smart and cute!
The guide, Macchan, and Bandy were cheerful and kind, and they had a wealth of knowledge about the animals and plants of Iriomote Island, making our conversation very interesting and fun!
I would like to go on a tour with Pipi when I come back here!
Thank you very much!

マングローブカヌーと水牛に乗って由布島へ行きました！
カヌーは初めてでしたが、ガイドさんに丁寧に教えてもらい満喫できました！
由布島へ行く水牛はとても賢くて可愛かったです！
ガイドのお兄さん、まっちゃんとバンディーが明るくて親切、西表島の動物や植物の知識が豊富でずっとお話をしてくださってとってもおもしろくて楽しかったです！
またこちらにきた際はpipiさんでツアーに行きたいと思いました！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in this tour on my first visit to Iriomote Island.

In the morning, we went out to the sea for snorkeling around Barasu Island and its surrounding points (led by Shōtarō). The beauty of Ishigaki was impressive, but the stunning clarity of the ocean and the colorful corals were breathtaking! We were lucky enough to encounter a shark! I also took many photos underwater, creating the best memories.

In the afternoon, we did SUP in the mangrove river (led by Ren). It was my first time on a SUP, but they taught me carefully, and it was easy and felt great! I got to see and touch rare creatures and plants with knowledgeable explanations, which was really interesting.

The staff were cheerful, and it was an incredibly fun tour! I want to stay on Iriomote Island next time!

初の西表島でこちらのツアーに参加しました。

午前は海にでてバラス島とその周りのポイントでシュノーケル。(担当:しょうたろうさん)
石垣も綺麗でしたが桁違いの海の綺麗さと色とりどりのサンゴに感動！運良くサメにも遭遇しました！
水中から沢山写真も撮っていただき最高の思い出になりました‍♀️

午後はマングローブの川でSUP。(担当:れんさん)
初めてのSUPでしたが丁寧に教えていただき簡単に乗れて気持ち良かった！
珍しい生き物や植物を知識豊富な説明つきで見たり触ることができてとっても面白かったです‍♀️

スタッフの皆さんが明るく最高に楽しいツアーでした！
次は西表島にも泊まりたいです！

I participated in a clear SUP experience with my girlfriend. Experiencing SUP on the beautiful sea became a lifelong memory! The instructors taught us how to paddle and ride carefully, so even as a beginner, I was able to stand and paddle. I think beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind.

They also accommodated my request to see fish, and I was able to enjoy many fish and corals from above the clear SUP. I was really happy that they took photos and videos with a drone and my smartphone, allowing me to preserve those memories.

During the experience, I accidentally dropped my smartphone into the sea, but the staff quickly retrieved it! They were very kind and supportive, so it didn't turn into an unpleasant memory! If I have the chance to go to Miyako Island again, I would love to experience it once more!

クリアSAP体験に彼女と参加しました。
美しい海の上で体験するSAPは一生の思い出になりました！
丁寧に漕ぎ方や乗り方を教えていただけたので、初見の自分でも立ち漕ぎできました。初心者の方でも安心して楽しめると思います。

魚をみたいと言う要望にも答えていただき、クリアSAPの上からたくさんのお魚とサンゴを堪能できました。
ドローン撮影やスマホでも撮影いただき、写真や動画で思い出を残せたのもすごく嬉しかったです。

体験中に自身のミスでスマホを海に落としてしまったのですが、すぐにスタッフの方が拾ってくれました！優しく声がけなどもしていただけたので、嫌な思い出にならずにすみました！
宮古島に行くことがあればまた体験したいです！

I think this tour is enjoyable and accessible even for beginners like me. Also, since the trekking was scheduled at different times, it was great that the places we visited were not crowded.

今回のツアーは私のような 初心者でも参加でき 楽しめると思います。また 時間をずらしてのトレッキングだったため 訪問場所が空いてて良かったです。

This is my fourth time visiting Miyako Island. However, I hadn't really enjoyed many activities until now. Since this trip had the perfect weather for swimming, I made a reservation through Veltra.

We started with snorkeling, then enjoyed activities like Pumpkin Hall and SUP. The guide who accompanied us was very friendly and taught us various interesting things, while also providing solid support on how to enjoy the activities. Thanks to that, I was able to have an experience that exceeded my expectations and I was very satisfied.

宮古島へは今回で4回目
しかし、なかなかアクティビティを楽しむことはありませんでした。今回はせっかくまだまだ水着で入れる気候での旅行でしたので、ベルトラさんにて予約しました。
シュノーケリングから始まりその後、パンプキンホール、SUPへとアクティビティを楽しみました。
案内してくれた、ガイドの方はすごく感じよく、へぇーと思えるいろんなことを教えてくれたり、アクティビティの楽しみ方をしっかりサポートしてくれました。おかげで想像以上に楽しむことができ大満足でした。

I often do SUP, but this was my first experience with kayaking✨ My partner didn't paddle at all...

As for the limestone cave, I was immediately overwhelmed by the pumpkin-shaped stalactite as soon as I entered. Climbing up from there led to a mystical space that was indescribable. It truly is a wonderful place, just as a power spot should be. Since it was a tour, there were a lot of people, and I wish I could have taken my time to enjoy it more quietly...

During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to meet a turtle, which I had always wanted to see, and my excitement skyrocketed‼︎ I was also grateful for the beautiful photos taken♡ The fish and coral were stunning, so I went snorkeling again the next day at Shigira!

SUPはよくやりますが、カヤックは初体験✨
相方が全然漕がずでしたが...
鍾乳洞は、入口から中に入るとすぐカボチャ型の鍾乳石に圧倒され、そこを登ると神秘的な空間で何とも言えない時間でした。パワースポットだけの事はあるとても素敵な場所でした。ツアーなので人も多く、もっとゆっくり静かに見たかったかなぁ...
シュノーケリングでは、運がイイのか念願だったカメに会え、テンションバク上がり‼︎写真も綺麗に撮って頂き感謝でした♡
魚や珊瑚がとても綺麗で、次の日もシギラでシュノーケルしましたw

I experienced a stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) tour in the morning and a snorkeling tour in the afternoon. The SUP in the mangroves was very pleasant and enjoyable even for beginners.

For snorkeling, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to rough waves, but instead, we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle at Okisaki Beach. The instructor during the tour provided very clear explanations and also recommended nearby dining spots, which was very helpful for enjoying this new place!

午前中にサップ、午後にシュノーケリングのツアーを体験しました。マングローブの中で行うサップはとても気持ちが良く、初心者でも楽しめました。
シュノーケリングでは、波が荒いということで青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、代わりに行った大崎ビーチでは運良く海ガメに出会うことができました。ツアー中のインストラクターの方の解説がとても分かりやすく、周辺のおすすめの食事場所も教えていただき、初めての場所で楽しむためにとても参考になりました！
