Night Jungle Exploration in Ishigaki Island
The detailed explanations of the plants and animals, along with many photos including the starry sky, made for a valuable experience and wonderful memories. Thank you!

夜の石垣島ジャングル探索
植物や動物等の説明を丁寧にしていただいたり、星空含め多くの写真を撮っていただき貴重な経験と共に素敵な思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました！

I was worried that the tour would be canceled due to the typhoon, but although the return high-speed boat was canceled, I was able to participate by switching to a ferry. I was also able to stay at Awaoren Beach, and I enjoyed a wonderful view from a nearby observation deck. The staff at the facility were kind, and even though I was worried about swimming during the sea turtle tour, they provided support with a pole, allowing me to participate without concern. I was moved to see the sea turtles, as well as beautiful coral and fish.

However, it was disappointing that a group of about ten foreigners were using the facility's restroom as a changing room, making it difficult to access the restroom.

台風の影響でツアーが中止になるか心配でしたが
帰りの高速船が欠航でしたがフェリーに変更で
参加することができました。
阿波連ビーチに滞在も出来て近くの展望台からも
素敵な景色が見れました。
施設のスタッフの方も親切で海ガメツアーも
泳ぎが心配でしたが支える棒で連れて行ってくれたので心配なく参加できました。
海がめも見れてキレイな珊瑚やお魚もみれて
感動しました。

ただ外人さんの10人ぐらいの集団が
施設のトイレを更衣室がわりに使っていたので
なかなかトイレに入れずその点は残念でした。

Due to the approaching typhoon, the Pumpkin Cave event was canceled, and I was worried about whether the activities would still take place, but I was able to enjoy canoeing and snorkeling! The guide was incredibly thorough in their instructions, and even though it was my first time canoeing and I bumped into things (laughs), I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Miyako Blue up close! I was amazed at how clearly I could see the fish and corals from above the water! Lying back on the canoe was a great memory!

As for snorkeling, I’m not very good at swimming, so I was nervous until I got used to breathing through my mouth, but once I did, I didn't want to come up because the underwater world was so beautiful, with so many fish swimming around! I even got to see clownfish and sea turtles! The guide took a lot of photos underwater, and looking back at them is so much fun!

I'm really glad I did the marine activities! Next, I want to try the Pumpkin Cave again and do more marine activities! It was an absolutely fantastic experience!

台風接近もあり、パンプキン鍾乳洞は中止になってしまい、当日も開催されるのか不安でしたが、カヌーとシュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができました！
ガイドの方も凄く丁寧に教えてくれ、人生初のカヌーもぶつかったりしましたが(笑)宮古ブルーを間近で堪能できました！海の上からでもこんなに海にいる魚やサンゴがハッキリ見えるの感動しました！カヌーの上で寝そべれたのいい思い出です！
シュノーケリングも元々余り泳ぎが得意でなく、口呼吸に慣れるまではドキドキしましたが、慣れたら顔を出すのがもったいないぐらい海の中は綺麗で魚たちが沢山泳いでいました！カクレクマノミやウミガメもみることができました！また海の中でもガイドの方が沢山写真をとってくれて、写真を見返すのがとても楽しいです！
マリンアクティビティをやってよかったです！
次はパンプキンに再チャレンジとまたマリンアクティビティしたいと思ってます！最高に楽しかったです！

We had planned to visit the Pumpkin Cave and go canoeing and snorkeling, but we were informed the day before that due to the approaching typhoon, it would be difficult to go to the Pumpkin Cave, so we discussed changing our plans.

We were suggested to go canoeing in the morning (at a location not near the cave) and snorkeling in the afternoon, or to do both, and after inquiring about the refund amount, we decided to change to just the afternoon snorkeling.

Since we were traveling without a car, we were a bit anxious about the meeting location, but we received a message the day before confirming the meeting point at 2 PM at the Shigira Beach parking lot, and we were able to get there without any issues.

On the day, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles, and the weather was great, allowing us to fully enjoy the waters of Miyako. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, so I felt it was a bit short, but since the waves were starting to get higher, I thought I might consider a longer plan or diving for the next opportunity.

Our guide, Go, was easy to talk to and took many photos, creating a fun atmosphere for snorkeling, which was great! Thank you very much!

パンプキン鍾乳洞&カヌー、シュノーケルの予定でしたが台風の接近がありパンプキン鍾乳洞へ行くのが難しいと前日に連絡がありプラン変更のご相談をさせていただきました
AMカヌー（鍾乳洞付近ではない場所）、PMシュノーケリング、もしくは2つともやるとご提案していただき返金額なども伺いPMシュノーケリングのみに変更しました
車のない旅だったため集合場所が不安でしたが14時シギラビーチ駐車場と前日連絡があり問題なく行くことができました
当日はウミガメも運よく会えたり天気にも恵まれ宮古の海を堪能することができました
1時間くらいのシュノーケリングで終了だったので少し物足りなかった感はありますが波が高くなり始めてたので次の機会にはもう少し長時間のプランを検討もしくはダイビングを検討しようかなと思いました
担当していただいたごうさんは話しやすいしお写真たくさん撮ってくださり楽しい雰囲気でシュノーケリングできてよかったです！ありがとうございました

It was my and my daughter's first time snorkeling, but they taught us carefully, allowing us to experience it with peace of mind. We got to see sea turtles up close and even took pictures together, which was absolutely amazing and overwhelming! I was worried about how things would turn out due to the typhoon, but it was truly a fantastic experience with the beautiful sea and adorable sea turtles! Thank you, Miyako Island! ⭐︎

シュノーケリング自体私も娘も初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてくれて安心して体験できました。
ウミガメにも会えて近くで見ることができ、一緒に写真まで撮っていただき最高過ぎて感無量でした！台風の影響でどうなるかと思いましたが、綺麗すぎる海に可愛いウミガメに本当に最高な体験でした！宮古島ありがとう⭐︎

Since I made a last-minute reservation two days ago while keeping an eye on the local weather due to the approaching typhoon, joining in was a huge, huge, huge success! Thanks to the friendly staff and their constant attention to detail, I was able to enjoy my first SUP experience more than I had imagined, and it was incredibly fun and exciting. When I watched the video they filmed for us on the spot, I was so moved by its high quality that I couldn't help but shed a few tears. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

For those who will be participating in the future, be sure to prepare water for heat protection, wear appropriate clothing (a hat and long sleeves and pants that can get wet), and if you have larger feet and are concerned about the size of marine shoes, I recommend bringing your own shoes.

台風接近の最中の旅行だったため、現地の天気を見ながら2日前に急きょ予約をしたのですが、飛び入り参加して大大大正解！
スタッフの方の気さくで終始、細やかな配慮のおかげで想像以上に初supを堪能する事が出来、想像以上にとても楽しく、興奮しっぱなしでした。最後、撮影していただいた動画をその場で見た時には完成度の高さに思わず涙が出てしまうくらい感激しました。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

これから参加される方へ。
暑さ対策の水、服装（濡れても良い帽子&長袖長ズボン）はもちろん、足が大きいなどマリンシューズのサイズに不安ある方はマイシューズ持参されると良いかと思います。

Due to strong winds associated with the approaching typhoon, the snorkeling at Barasu Island was canceled, and we only experienced the mangrove tour. However, there are views in the mangroves that can only be seen on Iriomote Island. During the tour, we had a wonderful guide, Shotaro, whose love for Iriomote Island made us forget about the changes to our original plans, and we had a fantastic time!

台風接近に伴う強風の影響でバラス島シュノーケリングがキャンセルになり、マングローブツアーのみの体験でしたが、マングローブも西表島でしか観れない景色があります。ツアー中はガイドしょうたろうさんの西表島愛を感じるステキなガイドで当初の予定が変更したことも忘れるくらい楽しい時間を過ごせました！

Yubu Island truly feels like Okinawa, and I was able to enjoy it very leisurely. The entire island is like a botanical garden, filled with rare plants and creatures. The mangrove tour was also incredibly exciting in the great outdoors. The guide was young but worked hard and provided kind support. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

由布島はまさに沖縄という感じで非常にゆったりと楽しめました。島全体が植物園になっていて珍しい植物や生き物がたくさん。
マングローブツアーも大自然に大興奮。
ガイドさんも若いけど、一生懸命で優しくサポートしてくれました。
すごく良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

It was a very enjoyable experience! Under the guidance of the instructor, we boarded the canoe and entered the cave waiting at Pumpkin Hole. The moment we stepped inside, we were overwhelmed by the completely different atmosphere from outside. As we progressed deeper, the instructor provided support and explanations, allowing us to enjoy the dimly lit environment with peace of mind!

とても楽しい体験でした！
インストラクターさんの指導の元カヌーに乗り込んでパンプキンホールの待つ洞窟へ、入った瞬間一気に外とは違う雰囲気で圧倒されました。奥に進んでいく際もインストラクターさんのサポートや解説などもしてくれて薄暗くとも安心して楽しめました！

I made a reservation the night before, and it was definitely the right choice to enjoy it from the morning! I was able to experience various creatures, mangroves, and many aspects of nature. Additionally, the instructor provided a lot of explanations, which was very educational. Next time, I would like to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) as well!

前日の夜に予約しましたが、朝から満喫出来て正解でした！！
色々な生き物やマングローブ、ガジュマルなど沢山の自然を味わうことが出来ました。また、インストラクターさんが色々な説明をしてくださるので、とても勉強になりました。次回はsupも利用してみたいと思います！

Although the forecast predicted rain, the weather was clear and favorable when we went for the clear SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). Since it was my first time participating in a clear SUP tour, I had no idea how to paddle, but the instructor was very kind and taught us thoroughly, allowing us to enjoy the tour. They took a lot of photos with our phones and drones, and it was great to receive the data at the end. I would love to join the clear SUP tour again when I visit Miyako Island next time.

雨の予報でしたが、クリアサップをするときは晴れていて天候にも恵まれました。
初めて、クリアサップツアーに参加したので乗り方など全くわからなかったのですが、インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくださり、楽しくツアーに参加することができました。
ケータイやドローンでも写真を沢山取ってくださり、最後データをいただけるのもすごくよかったです。また、宮古島にきた時はまたクリアサップツアーに参加したいと思いました。

I went snorkeling. A typhoon was approaching and the wind was strong, but there were large rocks nearby, so the waves didn't affect us too much. I was able to take photos with sea turtles and clownfish! I was shocked at how different the photos I took were from those on the web. Next, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding. Thank you very much.

シュノーケリングをやりました。台風が近づいていて風も強かったのですが、大きな岩場が近くにあったので、そんなに波の影響をつけませんでした。ウミガメやカクレクマノミと写真もとれました！
webの写真と撮った写真がかけはなれているところがショックでした。
次はsupをやりたいです。
ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I participated! Due to the weather, the pumpkin cave and sea kayaking were not held, but they still considered the circumstances and allowed me to join the snorkeling. The instructor was very kind and took safety into account, and I’m grateful for the chance to encounter sea turtles! The way they called them "turtle-san" was cute, too! I want to come back to Miyako Island to try the activities I missed this time. Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

参加して良かったです(*^^*)
天候の都合で、パンプキン鍾乳洞とシーカヤックは実施されませんでしたが、それでも都合を考慮してくれながら、シュノーケリングは参加させてもらいました。
インストラクターの方はすごく親切で、安全面にも考慮しながら、ウミガメにも遭遇させてくれて感謝です!!
「カメさん」呼びが可愛かったです笑
今回できなかったアクティビティでリベンジするために、また、宮古島に来たいと思ってます。
今回は楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

Despite my anxiety, I was able to ride a canoe and even explore the cave. Throughout the tour, the instructors were kind and provided reassurance, creating a comfortable environment for us to complete the experience. Four adult women of varying ages participated, and we all finished with smiles 😊. The photos we received were beautiful, and it became a wonderful travel memory. Thank you for your support!

不安もありながらカヌーに乗り鍾乳洞の中にも潜らせてもらいましたが、終始インストラクターの方々が優しくお声かけいただいて安心出来る環境でツアーをやり遂げることが出来ました。
女子大人4人、年齢もバラバラで参加しましたが全員笑顔で終われました☺️
頂いたお写真もきれいで嬉しかったし、いい旅の思い出になりました。
お世話になりました。ありがとうございましたー！

I participated while a typhoon was approaching. A couple of days before, I called with some concerns, and they informed me that whether we could enter the Blue Cave would depend on the wave and wind conditions on the day itself, but if the Blue Cave was difficult to access, they would guide us to another safe location. This reassured me as we approached the day.

On the day itself, the Blue Cave was indeed closed, which was a bit disappointing, but it was short-lived as we were taken to a wonderful spot. Many people canceled due to fears of the typhoon, so there were fewer visitors, and the early morning plan at 9:30 also worked in our favor, allowing us to enjoy the clear waters thoroughly.

The guide was very kind and friendly, and he was also handsome! He was great at teaching, so my son, who is not very good at swimming, quickly got used to it and became engrossed in the experience. My son respected the guide throughout and seemed to look up to him.

I think it's a shame to cancel outright due to bad weather. I really hope everyone gets to experience snorkeling here at least once. The data from the GoPro footage was transferred to my smartphone for free right away, so it was fun to watch during our return trip.

台風が近づく中での参加でした。
2日ほど前に不安なり電話連絡すると、青の洞窟に入れるかは当日の波や風の状態で変わるので分からないけれど、青の洞窟が難しい場合は他の安全な場所にご案内しますと言われ、安心して当日を迎えることができました。
迎えた当日、やはり青の洞窟は閉鎖されており、少し残念に思ったのも束の間、素晴らしいスポットに連れて行ってもらうことができました。台風を恐れてキャンセルが多く発生し、人が少なかったことや、朝早い9:30のプランだったことも幸いだったようで、透明度が高い海で十分楽しむことができました。
お兄さんがとても優しく親切で、しかもイケメン！教え方も上手なので、泳ぎが不得意な息子もすぐに慣れて夢中になって楽しんでいました。息子は終始お兄さんをリスペクトし、憧れの存在になったようです。
天候不良でズバッとキャンセルはもったいないと思います。ぜひ一度、ここのシュノーケリングは体験してほしいと思います。
GoProで撮影してもらったデータは無料ですぐにスマホに移してもらえたので、帰りの移動中に見るのも楽しかったです。

We participated as a family. They kindly taught us how to pose, and we were able to see the photos along the way. We took some really great pictures and are very satisfied!

家族で参加しました。
ポーズのとり方など丁寧に教えて頂き
途中で写真も見せてもらえたりで
とても良い写真が撮れて大満足です！

The kind guide answered the children's detailed questions one by one, which made it enjoyable! Although the weather was a bit bad and windy, it was actually nice because it wasn't hot! It was great that we had almost the entire river to ourselves on the early morning tour. Towards the end, many other tour guests arrived, so I think an early time is recommended.

優しいお兄さんのガイドさんが子供達の細かい質問に一つ一つ答えてくれて楽しめました！すこし天気が悪く風のある日だったのですが暑くなくて逆に良かったです！朝イチのツアーでほぼ川を貸切状態だったのも良かったです。終わりがけには沢山ほかのツアーのお客さんが来たので早い時間がお勧めだなと思いました。

I enjoyed the little advice and discussions about wildlife during the car ride to the site from the meeting point. Once we arrived, we ventured into some thrilling spots that made me wonder, "Are we really going this way?" and I got to see many creatures that I normally wouldn't encounter. After passing through the jungle, we reached a nameless beach. It was cloudy, so we couldn't see the stars, but I think it would have been very mystical if it had been clear. I had an experience that I could never have on my own, and even without seeing the stars, it was a very fulfilling tour. Thank you!

集合場所から現地に行く車内でもちょっとしたアドバイスや生き物の事を話していただいて楽しめました。
現地に着いてからは、ここを進むの？というドキドキする場所を進み、普段見ることができないたくさんの生き物に会えました。
ジャングルを抜けると名前の無いビーチに到着。曇っていたので星は見れませんでしたが、晴れていたらとっても神秘的だったろうなぁと思います。個人では絶対体験できない経験をさせて頂き、星を見れなくてもとても充実したツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

This was my third trip to Okinawa. I had always wanted to visit Yanbaru National Park, and while researching online, I found a one-day bus tour through Veltra that included Yanbaru Park, Cape Hedo, and Daichi Forest. I immediately made a reservation. There were five participants on the day of the tour, but we enjoyed a spacious and comfortable sightseeing experience on a large bus. I was worried because it was typhoon season, but the weather was good, and I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery of the Yanbaru region and the enjoyable trip. The hiking at Daichi Forest was easy to walk, making it accessible even for older individuals. I was very satisfied with this trip, as it allowed me to visit places that are not easily accessible on my own.

沖縄旅行は今回で3回目になります。以前からやんばる国立公園に行ってみたいと思い、インターネットで調べていたらベルトラのジャンボツアーでのやんばる公園、辺戸岬、大石林山等の一日バスツアーが見つかり即、予約申し込みしました。当日の参加者は5名でしたが、大型バスでゆったりと快適な観光をしてきました。今の季節は台風シーズンで心配しましたが天気は良く、素晴らしいやんばる地方の景色を見て、快適な旅を楽しんで満足しました。大石林山の
ハイキングは歩きやすく年配の方でも行ける感じでした。なかなか個人では行けないところを今回のツアーに参加して満足のいく旅行でした。

The day before, the tour was canceled due to high tide preventing entry into the cave, but I received a full refund for that day. Since I had come all the way to Miyako Island, I decided to try again today. The weather was nice, and it was fun to paddle through the sea while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Above all, exploring the mystical Pumpkin Cave became a wonderful memory.

↓ Positive Points ↓
- Waking up early was worth it
- Took a lot of great quality photos
- High satisfaction level
- The guide taught us various things
- There are life jackets, so there's no worry about drowning

I think it’s better not to spoil too much, so I won’t go into detail, but I strongly recommend going if you're hesitating!!! You won't regret it!!

前日、潮の高さにより鍾乳洞に入れないとのことで中止になってしまいましたが、前日分は全額返金対応となりました。
せっかく宮古島まで来たのだからと、本日リベンジしました。
天気が良く、綺麗な景色の中カヌーで海を進んでいくのか楽しかったです。そして何より、神秘的なパンプキン鍾乳洞探検が素敵な思い出になりました。

↓良かったポイント↓
早起きした甲斐があった
写真沢山撮ってくれた(画質いい)
満足度が高い
ガイドさんが色々なことを教えてくれる
ライフジャケットがあるので溺れる心配がない


ネタバレしない方がいいかな〜と思いあまり詳しくは書きませんが、とにかく迷ってるなら行った方が良いと強く勧めます！！！後悔はしません！！

My first time on Iriomote Island was a wonderful night tour! The guide, Hayata, had an astonishing amount of knowledge and didn't miss any small creatures while guiding us. I was especially impressed by the scorpion that was about 1.5 millimeters long, and seeing the Yaeyama habu was amazing! We even saw a coconut crab preying on another crab in the trees, and I couldn't contain my excitement with the jungle world right in front of me... I definitely want to do this again when I come to Iriomote Island!

初めての西表島で
素晴らしいナイトツアーでした！
ガイドのハヤタさんはびっくりするくらいの知識量で、どんな小さな生き物も見逃さずガイドしてくれました　
なかでも1.5ミリほどの蠍には感動したし、ヤエヤマハブも見られて最高！
ヤシガニが木の上でカニを捕食していたり、など
ジャングルの世界が目の前にあって興奮が止まらず…
西表島にきたらまたお願いしたいと思います！

The Pumpkin Cave and snorkeling were both amazing.
Entering the cave from the sea was really exciting.
I was glad to see sea turtles.

Kacchan's guidance was great, and I learned a lot about Miyako Island.
When I felt seasick, he quickly checked on me, which was very helpful.

It became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

パンプキン洞窟もシュノーケリングも最高でした
洞窟は海から入っていくのでワクワク感がすごかったです
海亀見れてよかったです

かっちゃんのガイドも色々宮古島のこと知れてよかったです
波酔いした時もすぐに声をかけていただいて助かりました

とても良い思い出になりました
ありがとうございます

It was my first time kayaking, but the staff explained everything so well that I got used to it quickly! The sea was incredibly clear, unlike anything I had seen before, and there were so many tropical fish swimming around! Since the kayak is transparent, I felt like I was swimming with my dream characters, Nemo and Dory!
In addition to the drone filming, the guide also took photos with a camera at various points, so we didn't have to worry about bringing our smartphones. After the drone filming, we received an edited video with background music! It truly became the best memory.
*You can bring drinks and towels into the kayak, so if you need a bag that can get wet, it might be convenient to bring one!

The staff were all cheerful and attentive. Thank you for the happy encounters and wonderful time!

カヤックは初めてでしたが、丁寧に説明をしてくださるのですぐに慣れました！海は今まで見たことのないくらい透き通っており、熱帯魚が沢山泳いでいました！カヤックが透明なので、憧れのニモやドリーと一緒に泳いでいる気分になりました！
ドローンの撮影以外でも所々でガイドさんがカメラで撮ってくれるので、自分たちでスマホを持って行かなくても大丈夫でした‍♀️
ドローン撮影が終わるとBGM付きの編集した動画もいただけました！本当に最高の想い出です
※カヤックの中に飲み物やタオルも持ち込むことができるので、濡れても良いバッグなどが必要な人は持っていくと便利かもです！

スタッフの方々も朗らかで丁寧な方ばかりでした幸せな出会いと時間をありがとうございます️

We participated with two adults and three children. We wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding, but since we had three small children, we were recommended to go canoeing instead, which we did on short notice. As we paddled through the mangroves, we were deeply healed by the beautiful scenery and nature that we don't usually see. The guide was very kind to the children, had a wealth of knowledge, and we all had a fun and meaningful time together.

For lunch, we ate Yaeyama soba at Hirara Shoten, which the guide recommended. It had a rich flavor and was very delicious.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling, and since we were the last group, there were only scattered seats left for us with the kids, which was a bit challenging. I would appreciate it if that could be improved. Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we were taken to an alternative snorkeling spot where we were lucky enough to see sea turtles in the beautiful sea. We were tired but had a very satisfying time.

The guide was also very good at interacting with the children and keeping them happy. My eldest son was a bit tired and grumpy, but the guide helped us a lot, and I am very grateful.

大人2人子供3人で参加しました。サップ希望でしたが、小さな子供3人でしたので、カヌーを勧められ、急遽カヌーに乗りました。マングローブを進みながら、普段見られない景色、自然にとても癒されました。ガイドさんは、子どもたちに優しく話しかけて下さり、知識も豊富で、みんなで楽しく有意義な時間を過ごせました。
お昼は、ガイドさんがおススメしてくれた、平良商店で八重山そばを食べましたが、濃い味でとても美味しかったです。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、バスで連れて行ってもらうのですが、私たちが最後の順番だったため、子連れでもバラバラの席しか残っていなかったのが、少し大変でした。そこを改善していただけたら、嬉しいです。台風の影響で、青の洞窟へは行けなかったですが、代わりのシュノーケルスポットに連れて行っていただき、綺麗な海の中、海ガメも運良く見られて、疲れたけど、大満足な時間を過ごせました。
子どもたちへの対応、ご機嫌をとるのもとても上手なガイドさんで、長男が少し疲れただのグズグズ言ってましたが、たくさん助けていただき、感謝しかないです。

We were taken there by car and arrived. From there, we explored the jungle. After passing through the jungle, we reached a nameless beach! It's a place we would never have come to on our own. It was a shame that the starry sky was covered by clouds, but in the jungle, we were able to see two coconut crabs (one up close). We also received explanations about various creatures and plants, which made the children very happy. Just one thing—I really wanted to see the stars… That's just a matter of luck.

車で連れて行っていただき、到着。そこからジャングルを探検。ジャングルを抜けると、名前のないビーチに辿りつきました！自分たちだけでは、絶対に来られない場所です。星空は雲がかかっていて残念でしたが、ジャングルでは、ヤシガニを2匹（1匹は間近で）見ることができました。他にもいろいろな生き物、植物の説明をしていただき、子供たちも喜んでいました。ただ一点。星空、見たかったなあ…これは運しかないです。

I received a notification the day before that due to the effects of the typhoon, there was a possibility of changing from Kerama to a location near Okinawa Island. However, on the day itself, it was clear and I thought we would be able to go to Kerama. On the boat, I was told that we would not be going to Kerama and that we had changed to the location that was communicated the day before. The new location had very few tropical fish, and the water was murky, which was very disappointing. I wish the changed location had been a bit nicer.

台風の風の影響で慶良間ではなく、沖縄本島近くに変更になる可能性がありますと、前日に連絡はいただいていましたが、当日は快晴で慶良間に行けると思っていました。船上で慶良間にはいかないと、前日に連絡をした場所に変更になったと言われました。変更場所は熱帯の魚がほとんどいなく、水も濁っていてとても残念でした。
変更場所がもう少し素敵な場所だと良かったです。

It was a peaceful place where we could enjoy canoeing leisurely, and the color of the sea was truly beautiful and moving! It was also lucky that we saw a rainbow. My son was a bit down due to the heat, but he cheered up during the snorkeling tour and was fascinated by the underwater world while holding onto a float with me, who can't swim. We quickly got to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. The guide was very kind and took many photos for us, and I definitely want to participate again. One thing to note is that there isn't a place to change after the tour.

穏やかな所でゆったりカヌーを楽しめ海の色が本当にキレイで感動！虹が見えたこともラッキーでした。息子は暑さでややテンション下がっていましたが、シュノーケルツアーには機嫌も直り泳げない私と一緒に浮き輪？につかまりながら夢中で海の中を見ていました。ウミガメさんともすぐに会えたし最高です。ガイドのお兄さんもとても優しく写真もたくさん撮って頂けてぜひまた参加したいです。注意点としてはツアー後の着替える場所がない事かなぁと思います

I don't often go to the beach at night, and since I was traveling alone, I felt a bit nervous as I headed to the meeting point. Then, the cheerful guide, Nao, appeared, instantly creating a fun atmosphere.

Before long, we were walking together and saw beautiful butterflies, stick insects, impressive spiders, and frogs with round eyes. At first, I was surprised, but Nao's heartfelt and detailed stories about "these little ones" gradually made me feel attached to them. I was almost ready to give up on seeing a coconut crab, but to my luck, I encountered one, and then another, and eventually three of them waiting on the path! Some quickly hid, while others boldly posed for the camera.

They were purple and had a magnificent appearance. I was really glad to meet them! The photos Nao sent later captured each of these wonderful creatures beautifully. She kindly asked participants to focus on observing, which I really appreciated. After returning home, I looked through each photo and remembered the fun time I had walking around with the guide and the other participants. Thank you so much, Nao!

夜の海岸にはなかなか行かないし、一人旅でもあることから、少しドキドキしながら集合場所へ。
すると元気なガイドの奈央さんが現れ、一気に楽しい雰囲気になりました。

みんなで歩くまもなく、美しいチョウやナナフシ、立派なクモ、つぶらな瞳のカエルたち。最初はびっくりしましたが、奈央さんの「この子たち」についての愛情あふれる詳しいお話に、自分も次第に愛着が湧いてきました。
なかなかヤシガニに会えず、諦めかかっていたのに、なんとラッキーなことに、まず1匹、しばらくするとまた1匹と、次々3匹も道で待ち構えていてくれました。そそくさ隠れる子や、見得を切るかのごとく、堂々とカメラ目線をくれる子も。
紫がかっていて、立派な姿。出会えて本当によかったです！
奈央さんが後で送ってくれたお写真、どれもコレもくっきりステキに出会った子たちを撮ってくれてました。参加者は見ることに専念してくださいね、とのことで、とてもありがたかったです。
帰ってきてから、一つ一つ写真を見て、ガイドさんや参加した方たちと楽しく一緒に歩き回ったことを思い出してます。
奈央さん、本当にどうもありがとうございました！

I had a truly enjoyable half day! Until the day before, I couldn't believe I would actually go snorkeling, but it became a reality. I was a bit anxious since I was traveling alone, but I'm really glad I participated!

I would like to express my gratitude to our guide, Matsuura, for allowing us to have such a wonderful time. He worked hard to ensure the safety of the participants and to meet our expectations.

Additionally, he took many beautiful photos, and I was really moved when I saw the numerous pictures sent to me later. A sea turtle was swimming relaxed right next to me. Swimming in the ocean alongside the gracefully swimming turtle is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime.

The clownfish were adorable, and I felt that both the turtles and the fish were comfortable even with people around. A few days ago, I overcame my 10-year hiatus from driving and managed to drive a rental car to Shinjo Coast, which was a great decision.

Thank you very much!

本当に楽しい半日でした！
前日まで自分がほんとにシュノーケルするなんて信じられていなかったのに、それが現実になりました。一人旅でしたので不安があったのですが、参加して本当によかったです！
ガイドの松浦さんには、この楽しい時間を過ごさせていただいたこと、感謝申し上げます。参加者の安全を守ることや、期待を実現することに一生懸命取り組んでいただきました。
また、素敵な写真をたくさん撮っていただき、後で送られてきた何枚もの写真を見て、本当に感動しました。自分のすぐ近くでウミガメがリラックスして泳いでいる。華麗に泳ぐウミガメと一緒に、自分も海の中で泳いでいるなんて、一生の思い出です。
ニモたちも可愛くて、ここではカメも魚たちも、人がいても安心しているのだと感じました。
数日前に10年ぶりにペーパードライバーを返上し頑張ってレンタカー運転して新城海岸まで行ってよかったです。
どうもありがとうございました！

We canoed to the entrance of the cave and swam from there! It seems that this is the only cave in Miyako Island that faces the sea, and depending on the tide, it might not be accessible, so it was a truly wonderful experience! Thanks to our instructor, Mr. Iigou, who provided explanations and assisted us with great strength, we were able to enjoy the adventure and the excitement with peace of mind!

鍾乳洞の入り口までカヌーで、入り口からは泳ぎながら行きました！
入り口が海に面している鍾乳洞は宮古島でここだけらしく、潮位によっては行くことができないこともあるみたいなので、とても素敵な経験になりました！
インストラクターのいいごうさんが解説も交えながら力強くアシストしてくださったおかげで、安心して冒険と感動を体験することができました！！
