All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I participated at the beginning of September! The plan included a pumpkin cave, sea turtle snorkeling, and SUP, and it was a day full of satisfaction✨ The sea was beautiful, and the handsome instructor shared many stories about the ocean, corals, and the cave, as well as recommendations for shops, allowing me to really feel the charm of Miyako Island!✨

During snorkeling, I even got to see a sea turtle! Honestly, I thought it would be rare to encounter one, so I was amazed to see one less than 30 minutes after entering the water, haha.

Although we couldn't bring our phones during the tour and couldn't take our own photos, the instructor took many pictures at the best moments, allowing us to capture our memories!

It truly was a day of great satisfaction! Thank you!

9月の初めに参加させていただきました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞→ウミガメシュノーケル→SUPのプランで1日中大満足のプランでした✨
海が綺麗だったのはもちろん、インストラクターのイケメンお兄さんが海やサンゴ、鍾乳洞にまつわる色んなお話や、おすすめのお店などをたくさんお話ししてくれて、宮古島の魅力をたくさん感じられた1日でした！✨

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメにも会えました！
正直ウミガメに会えるのはなかなかないだろうと思っていたので、海に入って30分もせずに会えたことには感動しました笑

ツアー中は携帯を持ち込めないですが、自身で写真を撮ることはできませんが、お兄さんがベストなタイミングで写真をたくさん撮ってくれて、思い出を形に残すこともできました！

本当に大満足の1日になりましたー！
ありがとうございました

We had a wonderful time with the whole family, including our 8 and 10-year-old children, guided by Hayata!

In the morning, we enjoyed canoeing through the mangroves, where we could paddle while also entering the river to cool off and observe gobies, crabs, and mangrove seeds up close. Even the kids could paddle well, and they enjoyed it just like the adults.

For lunch, we were given recommendations for a place to eat.

In the afternoon, we took a boat a little offshore to a coral island called Barasu Island and snorkeled around the area. We were able to see both fish and coral perfectly! We even spotted a sea turtle while moving on the boat, and the staff kindly stopped the boat for a sea turtle observation time, even going into the water to take videos and share them with us! It was our first time snorkeling, but we all enjoyed it without any worries!

I highly recommend this activity!

ハヤタさんガイドで8才、10才の子供含め家族全員とても楽しく過ごせました！
午前中のマングローブのカヌーでは、マングローブのジャンルの中でカヌーを漕ぎつつ、川にも入り涼を取りながら、ハゼやカニ、マングローブの種などを間近に観ることが出来ました。
子供でもしっかり漕げるし、川にも入れて大人と同様に楽しめます。
お昼はお店を教えて貰いランチ休憩。
午後は、船で少し沖に出てバラス島と言うサンゴが堆積して出来た島とその周辺でシュノーケリング。
魚もサンゴもバッチリ観られました！海ガメも移動中船から観られて、しかもわざわざ船を停めてくれてしばらく海ガメ観察タイムとスタッフさんが海に入り動画を撮ってシェアしてくれました！シュノーケリング初めてでしたが、子供含めて不安無く楽しめました！
とてもおすすめのアクティビティーです！

At first, I thought seeing the stars from a boat and from land would be the same, but I personally chose the boat experience. Fortunately, there were no clouds at that time, and I was able to see constellations that are usually not visible, which made for a wonderful experience. The explanations about the constellations were great, and the shamisen performance was absolutely fantastic.

The staff were knowledgeable about the constellations and seemed to enjoy connecting with people, having studied and learned a lot about stars. Their explanations were clear, and it was evident that they truly love stars.

Everyone has their own perspective, but the stars were truly beautiful.

This time, we were lucky to see the stars, but even if we hadn't, I believe it would still have been a good experience. It made me realize that who you go with is more important than where you go.

I think the price is a bit high, but if the conditions are good, I believe it is definitely worth more than the cost.

最初は船で見るのと陸で見るの一緒だと思ってたのですが個人的な感覚で船にしました。
たまたまその時は雲も無く普段見えない星座が見えてとても良い体験でした。星座の説明も良くて三味線もめちゃくちゃ良かったです。

お店の人も星座について詳しくてどうやら繋ぐ事が好きで星について勉強して詳しくなった見たいです。説明も分かりやすく本当に星が好きな事が分かりました。

人それぞれの感覚にはなるけど本当に星が綺麗でした

今回はたまたま星が見えたけど見えなかったとしても良い関係だと思います。改めて思ったのは何処に行くかより誰と行くかが大事な事なのか思いました。

少し値段は高いと思いますが条件が良ければ値段以上の価値は絶対に有ると思いました。

I had a great time even as a beginner. I was able to see the sunset, which became a wonderful memory. The venue was about a 15-20 minute drive from the center of the island, so I think the access was good. We formed groups of two or three, and a staff member accompanied us to take photos in turn. The place where we experienced this was like a small lake, making it difficult to see fish, but the waves were calm, which I think made it an easy place for beginners or those who are anxious about swimming to try!

初めてでも楽しく乗れました。夕日も見ることができ、とてもいい思い出になりました。会場は島の中心部から車で15-20分ほどで、アクセスも良かったと思います。2,3組でひとつのグループになり、係の方が1人ついて順番に写真を撮ってくださいます。今回体験をした場所は小さな湖のようになっている場所で、魚などを見るのは難しいですが、波が穏やかで初心者や泳ぎに不安がある方でも挑戦しやすい場所だったのではないかとおもいます！

In the morning, I was a bit anxious about trying SUP for the first time, but thanks to the precise instructions from our guide, Shotaro, I was able to stand on the board, paddle, and enjoy myself.

In the afternoon, canyoning was made even more exciting with the encouragement of the other participants, and diving into the water from dizzying heights became exhilarating.

I also heard many interesting stories about the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, and I truly felt grateful to have Shotaro as our guide.

I had a great time even participating alone.

午前中は初めてのSUPで不安もありましたが、ガイドのしょうたろうさんの的確な指示のおかげでボードの上に立って漕ぎ、楽しむことができました

午後のキャニオニングは他の参加者の方にも盛り上げてもらい、足のすくむような所からの水中へのダイブも快感になりました

また、西表島の動植物についての興味深い話をたくさん聞かせていただき、しょうたろうさんのガイドで本当によかったと思いました

１人で参加しても十分楽しめました

The car's air conditioning was broken, and it was incredibly hot, making it feel like a sauna for about 30 minutes on the way to the location. I wish the air conditioning had been working.

車のエアコンが壊れているのか
とにかく暑く30分程サウナ状態で
体験場所に向かいました。
エアコンがきいてたら良かったかと思います。

After paddling desperately in the beautiful sea, I arrived at the Pumpkin Cave! Once inside, you can have a mystical experience! There are fun adventure elements like climbing over rocks and jumping off them.

By the way, the Pumpkin Cave and SUP are at different locations, and there is quite a bit of time in between. There’s enough time to rest at the hotel to recover from fatigue, so if you have the chance, doing SUP would be fun too!

Nogi-chan's guide was incredibly enjoyable!

綺麗な海のなかで必死にカヤックをこいで行った先には、パンプキン鍾乳洞が！中にはいると神秘的な体験ができます！岩場をよじ登ったり、岩場から飛び降りたりというアドベンチャー要素もあって楽しいですよ～

ちなみに、パンプキン鍾乳洞とSUPは実施場所も違うし、結構時間があきます。疲れをとるためにホテルで休憩するくらいの時間はあるので、折角ならばSUPもやると楽しいですよ！

のぎちゃんのガイドがめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

Initially, I had signed up for a tour to see the Blue Cave, but due to unfortunate weather conditions, it was suddenly changed to snorkeling. I felt a bit disappointed as I participated in the tour that day, but the sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see corals and colorful fish up close, which was wonderful!

I was told that it would be difficult to see sea turtles due to the rising water levels, but miraculously, one appeared, and I was able to take pictures, which made me very satisfied!

The guide was also a lot of fun, and the tour became a great memory! Thank you very much!

最初は青の洞窟を見に行くツアーに申し込みしていましたが、あいにくの天候不良で急遽シュノーケリングに変更になりました。
少し残念だなぁと思いながら当日ツアーに参加しましたが、海はとても綺麗でサンゴや綺麗な魚を間近で見られてとても良かったです！
ウミガメも水位が上がっているため見るのは難しいと言われていましたが奇跡的に現れてくれ、写真も撮ることができてとても大満足でした！

ガイドさんもとても楽しい人でツアーがいい思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

The weather was very nice, and I was able to see beautiful ocean views that I usually can't experience. Although there is a bit of distance to the point, with the assistance of the staff, I was able to reach the point easily.

天気がとてもよく、普段味わえない海の綺麗な景色を見ることが出来ました。
ポイントまでは多少の距離がありますが、キャストさんのアシストもあり、簡単にポイントに到着することが出来ます。

Mr. Ishitaba, our guide, was kind and friendly, and his consideration for the children was perfect. He taught us a lot about Iriomote Island and its wildlife, and my 4-year-old and 8-year-old were able to enjoy the tour without getting bored.

We had a wonderful time seeing the schools of sardines while canoeing, exploring the mangrove creatures, going on a jungle adventure, diving at the waterfall, and enjoying homemade Soki soba for lunch—each moment created lasting memories.

The dessert made by his wife that we received at the end was delicious and soothing for our tired bodies. I would definitely like to request him again when I visit Iriomote Island. Thank you very much.

ガイドの五十畑さんは優しくフレンドリーで、子ども達への気遣いもパーフェクトでした。西表島のこと、生き物のこと、沢山教えてくださり、4歳、8歳の子ども達もツアー中飽きることなく終始楽しみながら過ごすことができました。
カヌーで見たイワシの群れ、マングローブの生き物たち、ジャングル探検、滝つぼでのダイブ、そしてお昼ごはんの手作りソーキそば、どれも思い出に残る素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
最後にいただいた奥様お手製のデザートも疲れた身体に染み渡る美味しさでした。
また西表島に行く際にはぜひお願いしたいです。
ありがとうございました。

My first kayaking experience was fun! I learned a lot from the explanations about various plants and interesting facts! I was lucky to see a wild mongoose today✌️ It's quite hot during the summer, so don't forget to take measures against sunburn and heatstroke! Also, there was a leak from the paddle, so my clothes got wet every time I paddled! Since you'll be sweating, it's a good idea to have a change of clothes!

初めてのカヤックは楽しかった！
色々な植物の説明や豆知識を聞けて勉強になりました！
今日は野生のマングースも見れてラッキー✌️
夏場はかなり暑いので、日焼け対策、熱中症対策は忘れずに！
あと、パドルから水漏れがあり、漕ぐたびに服が慣れました！汗もかくので着替えがあると良いでしょう！

I have experienced mangrove kayak tours abroad, but I wanted to try it in Okinawa as well, so I applied for it. Along the way, I was able to see a mongoose, which was enjoyable. Thank you very much.

マングローブカヤックツアーは海外でも経験がありましたが、沖縄でも体験したいと思い申込させていただきました。
途中、マングースも見ることができて、楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

The tour was made enjoyable by a very communicative guide who explained everything thoroughly. I swam a lot and had a fulfilling day!

I also received wonderful photos and videos, which added to the experience.

Thank you for recommending a great shop at the end!

とても、コミュニケーション能力が高いお兄さんがたくさん説明してくれながら楽しいツアーにしてくださりました(^^)
たくさん泳いで、充実した1日でした！

素敵な写真と動画も送ってくださり充実感あります。

最後におすすめのお店も教えてくださりありがとうございました！

I participated in a tour to see sea turtles with friends as a memory for my last days in my 40s. It had been about 20 years since I last went into the ocean, and I was filled with anxiety rather than excitement. However, thanks to the instructors' thorough explanations and their considerate encouragement for those who couldn't swim, I truly had a fun and valuable time, creating the best memories! Although it was a short half-day tour, we were well-informed about the spots to see the sea turtles, and we were able to see them properly!

40代最後の思い出に友達とウミガメに会えるツアーに参加しました。海に入るのも20年ぶりくらいで楽しみより不安で一杯でしたが、インストラクターの人達の丁寧な説明、泳げない人への気配り優しい声かけで本当に楽しく貴重な時間を過ごせてサイコーの思い出になりました！
半日という短い時間でしたがちゃんとウミガメに会えるポイントも分かっていてしっかりウミガメにも会えました！

Snorkeling in Miyako Island was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had! Matsuura was incredibly kind, and I was able to enjoy it without any anxiety, even as a beginner! The water clarity was outstanding, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! I truly had a special time!!

宮古島でのシュノーケルは、今までで一番楽しい体験でした！
松浦さんがすごく親切で、初めてでも不安なく楽しめました！
海の透明度も抜群で、海亀がすぐ近くに見えて感動でした！本当に特別な時間を過ごせました！！

I received support for snorkeling, and thanks to Doraemon, I was able to see the turtles while being guided closely. I also managed to stand up on the wakeboard. Everyone was really nice.

シュノーケリングでサポートしていただき、ドラえもんさんには付きっきりで引っ張っていただきカメを見ることができました。ウェイクボード？も何とか立てました。皆さんいい感じの方ばかりでした。

We participated as a family of four with our 4 and 9-year-old children. Since we have small kids, we were worried about the physical demands, but the schedule was very manageable and we had a great time. The guides were named Shotaro and Macchan. The explanations about the mangroves were very clear, and the kids listened with interest. They remembered the children's names and took a lot of photos, which made the experience fulfilling. If we have the chance, we would like to participate in other activities as well.

4歳9歳の子どもを連れて家族4人で参加しました。小さい子どもがいるので体力的にもつか心配でしたが無理のないタイムスケジュールでとても楽しかったです。ガイドさんのお名前はしょうたろうさん、まっちゃんでした。マングローブの説明もとてもわかりやすくて子どもも興味を持って聞いていました。子ども名前を覚えてくださったり、写真もたくさん撮ってもらい充実していました。機会があれば他のアクティビティも参加してみたいです。

I participated for the first time! With a guide accompanying us, I was able to enjoy the activities with peace of mind! They also took wonderful photos for us!
Swimming in the beautiful sea and seeing the fish and coral reefs created such lovely memories!
In the Pumpkin Cave, I was able to see very mystical sights, and diving from the cave into the sea was thrilling! I would love to participate in other activities as well!

初めて参加させていただきました！ガイドの方が付いていてくださるため、安心してアクティビティを楽しむことが出来ました！また素敵な写真を撮って頂けました！
綺麗な海を泳いで、魚たちやサンゴ礁を見ることが出来、とても素敵な思い出になりました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞ではとても神秘的な光景を見ることが出来たり、鍾乳洞から海へのダイブはスリルが満点です！またほかのアクティビティに参加したいと思います！

The two female staff members were kind, and I had a great time. They offered to take pictures and helped my husband, who can't swim, by pulling him along. Thank you so much. I'm glad I participated.

女性二人のスタッフさんが優しくて、とても楽しめました。
写真撮りましょうか？と声をかけてくださったり泳げない旦那をずっと引っ張ってくださったり本当にありがとうございました。
参加してよかったです。

The person who taught us was very polite, and the water was beautiful, making it a lot of fun.

At first, I was a bit anxious about whether I would be able to do it properly, but they taught us thoroughly before we got on, so I was able to ride without any problems.

Towards the end, we had about 30 minutes of free time where we could take photos at our favorite spots, which made for a very fulfilling experience.

Additionally, drone filming was included for free, and we received an impressive video at the end.

I would love to experience this again when I visit Miyako Island.

教えてくれた方も丁寧な方でしたし、水も綺麗でとても楽しかったです。

最初はちゃんとなれるか不安な所もありましたが、乗る前にしっかり教えてくれて問題なくのれました。

最後の方は30分くらい自由時間があり
好きな所で写真がとれたりなど、とても充実した時間が過ごせました。

またドローン撮影も無料でついており
迫力ある動画が最後いただけます。

また宮古島来た際は体験したいです。

Everything was amazing. The sea kayaking, as well as the exploration of the cave, was incredible. Additionally, Maashi-san is extremely knowledgeable about Miyako nature and culture, and he explained to us many things about Miyako that cannot be found anywhere on the internet. If you come to Miyako, make sure to join this tour!

(English below)

全部素晴らしかったですよ。シーカヤックも、洞窟探検も本当に楽しかった。さらに、まーしさんは宮古島の自然と文化についてとてもご存じですよ！
宮古島に来たら、ぜひこの体験に参加してください

Everything was amazing. The sea kayakking, as well as the exploration of the cave was incredible. A lot of varied activities, such as climbing through waterfalls and swimming through the entrance of the cave. Additionally, Maashi-san is extremely knowledgeable about Miyako nature and culture, and he explained to us many things about Miyako that cannot be found anywhere on the internet. If you come to Miyako, make sure to join this tour!

It was my first time snorkeling, and I really enjoyed it! Even though there were 22 people, they took care of us attentively, and we had a lot of freedom as well!

シュノーケリングは初めてだったのですが、しっかりと楽しめました！22人という大人数でしたが丁寧に対応してくださり、また自由度も高かったです！

I participated with a large group of 22 friends from university, and the guide was very attentive, which allowed us to enjoy the experience. The guide's stories were also interesting!

大学の友達22人という大人数で参加しましたが、ガイドの方にしっかりと対応していただき、楽しむことができました。ガイドの方のお話も面白かったです！

I believe it was related to the tide, but we first went snorkeling at the coral reef and then headed to the Phantom Island. The staff were very kind, and I am especially grateful to the captain for even filming a video of Nemo for us.

At Phantom Island, it's essential to wear sandals or marine shoes to avoid injuries, but if you place your hands on the white sandy beach, pieces of coral can prick your hands and hurt, so if you have marine gloves, it's a good idea to wear them for safety. If you're aiming for Instagram-worthy photos, you can take off the gloves just for that moment.

Finally, when we returned to the port, the captain's docking skills were incredible and left me in awe. To land perfectly at that speed is truly impressive!

おそらく潮位の関係だと思いますが、最初にサンゴ礁でシュノーケル、その後に幻の島へ行きました。
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、特に船長さんにはニモの動画まで撮っていただき大変感謝しています。
幻の島では怪我をしないようにサンダルやマリンシューズが必須ですが、白い砂浜に手をつくとサンゴのかけたものが手に刺さって痛いので、マリングローブがある方はつけておくと安心です。インスタ映えを狙うならその時だけグローブを外す感じで。
最後、港に帰着するときの船長の着岸が神業で感動しました。あの速度で一発で決めるなんてさすがですね・・。

It was my first tour, but thanks to the thorough explanation before the tour, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! It's an attractive tour that you can't experience anywhere else. Even if you're not confident in canoeing, the two guides will come to help you right away. Above all, the stories from our guide "Nogi-chan" were interesting and fantastic! I would love to do it again! ✨

初めてのツアーでしたが、ツアー前にしっかり説明してくれたおかげで安心して楽しめました！他では体験できない、魅力的なツアーです。
カヌー漕ぐのに自信がなくても、2人のガイドさんがすぐ助けに来てくれます。
何よりも担当ガイドの「のぎちゃん」の話が面白くて最高でした！またお願いしたいです✨

The footage taken from the drone was truly beautiful and breathtaking. The snorkeling near the Blue Cave was enjoyable, even with small children, thanks to the attentive instructor.

ドローンからの撮影した映像は本当に綺麗で圧巻でした。青の洞窟付近でのシュノーケリングも小さい子供連れでしたがインストラクターの方がしっかりしてくれてましたので楽しめました。

I am truly grateful for the full day guided tour of the Pumpkin Cave and Shigira Beach! Tetsu-chan's guidance was very easy to understand, and thanks to the careful and attentive way he guided us, it became a wonderful memory! If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do it again! Thank you very much for this experience!

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシギラビーチを丸一日ガイドしていただいて本当に有り難かったです！
てっちゃんさんのガイドもとても分かりやすく、丁寧にガイドしていただいたおかげで楽しい思い出となりました！
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！
この度は本当にありがとうございました！

I had a great time! The staff were also very friendly. Personally, I recommend adding water activities in addition to snorkeling! Also, there were quite a few people who got seasick, so I think it would be better to take motion sickness medication to enjoy it more.

とても楽しかったです！スタッフの方も親切でした。個人的にはシュノーケルに加えて、水上アクティビティをするのをお薦めします！あとは結構船酔いしてる人がいたので、酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方が楽しめるかなと思います。

It was efficient and felt great! The ocean was incredibly beautiful. It would have been better if there were point transfers. The staff's response was also good!

テキパキしてて気持ちよかった！海は最高に綺麗でした。
ポイント移動があれば直良でした。
スタッフの対応も良かったです！

It was my first time fishing at sea on a boat, but they kindly taught us how to attach the bait, and all four of my family members successfully caught fish. We caught colorful fish unique to Okinawa. It was a lot of fun!

船での海釣りは初めてでしたが、餌のつけ方等、親切に教えて頂き、家族4人全員、無事に釣れました。
沖縄ならではの色鮮やかなお魚が、釣れました。とても、楽しかったです。
