All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I participated in a jungle exploration and stargazing tour. At first, I was anxious about the night jungle exploration, but thanks to the kind guidance of the staff, I was able to relax and enjoy myself. The round trip to the tour location took about 30 to 40 minutes by bus, but during that time, the staff shared many stories about Ishigaki Island, making the time fly by! In the jungle, I was able to see rare creatures like coconut crabs and whip scorpions, as well as various other animals like frogs and insects up close. By chance, I also got to witness a cicada hatching, which was truly moving. Additionally, the weather was clear that day, so the stargazing was beautiful, and I was able to see many shooting stars, making for a fun experience until the very end. Thank you very much!

ジャングル探検と星空観察のツアーに参加しました。
最初は夜のジャングル探検とのことで不安でしたが、スタッフの方々が優しく案内してくださったお陰で、安心して楽しむことができました。
ツアーの場所への往復はバスで30〜40分ほどかかりましたが、その間もスタッフさんが石垣島にまつわるお話をたくさんして下さり、あっという間の時間でした！
ジャングルではヤシガニやサソリモドキなどの珍しい生物や、カエルや昆虫など様々な生物を間近で見ることができました。
最後には偶然ですが、セミが孵化している所も見ることができ、感動しました。
また、その日は快晴だったので星空もとても綺麗で、流れ星もたくさん見ることができ、最後まで楽しく過ごすことができました。
本当にありがとうございました。

The tour guide provided very detailed explanations about various things. They kindly answered our questions as well. We could take photos with our smartphones, but the photo service provided by the guide was also great. We made the best memories.

ツアーガイドさんがとても詳しく色々と説明してくれました。こちらの質問にも親切に答えてくれました。
自分たちのスマホで写真も撮れますが、ガイドさんが撮ってくれる写真サービスもよかったです。
最高の思い出ができました。

We participated in a star and jungle tour as a couple! In the jungle, there are a lot of insects, so long sleeves and long pants are recommended. There were various creatures, and the staff helped us find them, including a coconut crab! Also, the stars were incredibly beautiful. We saw shooting stars several times. The staff were energetic, cheerful, and kind. There were some international guests in our group, and someone who spoke English assisted us, allowing everyone to have a great time until the end. Thank you very much!

夫婦で星とジャングルツアーに参加させていただきました！
ジャングルでは、とにかく虫が多いので、長袖•長ズボンがオススメです。
さまざまな生き物がいましたが、スタッフの方が見つけてくださり、ヤシガニも会うことができました！
また、星はとっても綺麗です。流れ星も何度か流れていましたよ。
スタッフの方は、元気で明るく親切な方でした。同じグループに海外の方がいらっしゃいましたが、英語を話せる方が対応されており最後まで全員が楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！

The guide taught us a lot about Ishigaki Island, so I was very satisfied! Due to strong winds, we ended up doing a canoe experience instead of stand-up paddleboarding, but it turned out to be better since we could go further out into the deep sea. Overall, being able to go into such a beautiful ocean became the best memory. I will definitely go again!

ガイドさんが沢山石垣島のことを教えてくれたので、とっても満足しました！
強風でsupではなく、カヌー体験になってしまいましたがカヌー体験は海の深い方までいけたので、カヌー体験の方が結果としてよかったです。
とにかく綺麗な海の中に行けたことが最高の思い出になりました。また行きます！

The waves were high and a bit murky due to the season, but the tour staff were all energetic and cheerful, making it a lot of fun! There were many people on the tour, but it was great that they kept us in smaller groups as much as possible. It was reassuring for children and those who are not good at swimming to be well taken care of! The time spent on the phantom island was not short and was just the right amount. However, some people did experience seasickness, and the back of the boat did not have a roof, so for those who need it, motion sickness medication, sun protection, and hats are essential!

波が高く季節的に少し濁ってはいましたが、ツアーのスタッフ達がみんな元気で明るく、たくさん楽しませて下さいました！ツアー自体は一緒に行く人が沢山いたのですが、なるべく少人数グループにしてくださったのもよかったです。子供や泳ぎが苦手な方でもきちんと見てもらえて安心です！幻の島の滞在時間も短くなく丁度いい時間でした。ただ船酔いしてる方もいらっしゃったのと、船の後ろの方は屋根がついていないタイプだったので、必要な方は酔い止め、日除けや帽子必須です！

I was able to move my body more than I had imagined and had many experiences! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and it was fun. I also got to take a lot of photos☆

想像してたよりもたくさん体を動かして、たくさん体験ができました！ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました☆

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave exploration tour. Since we canoe through the sea to reach the cave, it really feels like you’re becoming an explorer. It’s very refreshing to experience the nature of Miyako Island up close. The staff provided a thorough briefing before we set off, so even beginners can feel at ease.

Inside the cave is truly mystical! The guide explained everything in detail, allowing us to enjoy every moment. The final dive was exhilarating.

This is an activity I highly recommend experiencing when you visit Miyako Island!

パンプキン鍾乳洞探検ツアーに参加させていただきました。鍾乳洞までは海の中をカヌーで行くので、探検家になった気分が味わえます。宮古島の自然を肌で感じながら進むのはとても気持ちがいいです。乗る前に担当の方がしっかりレクチャーをしてくれるので初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。
鍾乳洞の中は本当に神秘的です！ガイドの方が丁寧に説明してくれたのであますことなく楽しめました。
最後のダイブは爽快です。
宮古島に来たらぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです！

We participated as a family of four, with a couple and two children aged 6 and 3. Both are preschoolers, but they were able to enjoy themselves. The older child said it was the most fun part of our trip to Okinawa. There were plenty of fish, and we even got to touch them briefly right in front of us. The Blue Cave was perfectly timed, and we were able to go deep inside; it was mystical, and the children were moved by it. We plan to participate again.

夫婦と6歳、3歳の4人で参加しました。
いずれも未就学児ですが、楽しそうに参加できました。上の子は沖縄旅行で一番楽しかったと言っています。
魚はたくさんいますし、目の前に来て一瞬触れることもできました。
青の洞窟はタイミングがよく奥までは入れましたが、神秘的でこどもたちも感動していました。
また参加しようと思います。

The tour was the best course to fully enjoy the summer in Ishigaki Island, including the phantom island and Taketomi Island sightseeing. The instructor was kind and took lots of photos and videos. The freedom to explore Taketomi Island at your own pace was also a big plus! It was definitely a tour that makes you want to visit Ishigaki Island again!

まぼろしのしまも、たけとみじまかんこうも
石垣島の夏を大満喫できる最高のコースでした-`´-
インストラクターのおねえさんは親切で、写真や動画もたくさんとってくれました✧pqω•,,´)ﾊﾟｼｬ
竹富島は自由行動なので行きたいところにいけるのもポイント高かったです/////
ぜーったいまた石垣島にいきたくなるようなツアーでした\(′▽′)/\(′▽′)/\(′▽′)/\(′▽′)/\(′▽′)/

I had an absolutely wonderful time!! The kayaking was taught with great care, so even as a beginner, I had no problems. It was fun just to paddle through the mangroves, but that wasn't all! I also got to see endangered species of animals and plants, as well as power spots. And above all, Ten-shin's guidance was very entertaining!! Ten-shin knew a lot of things, and I found myself captivated by the stories. The tour itself progressed at a relaxed pace, so I think it would be totally fine for those who aren't very physically fit! After it was over, I could rinse my feet and body with water, and there were changing rooms, so there were no issues. The facilities were clean. It was more enjoyable than I expected, I felt healed by nature, and it was a tour that left me very satisfied! ⭐︎

とーっても楽しかったです！！カヤックの操縦は丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めて出したが問題なかったです。マングローブの中をカヤックで進むだけでも楽しかったのですが、それだけでなかったです！絶滅危惧種の生き物や植物、パワースポットも見れました。そして何よりも天心さんのガイドがとても面白かったです^ ^！！天心さんは色々な事を知っていて、お話をついつい聞き入ってしまいました。ツアー自体はゆっくりまったり進む感じなので体力に自身のない方でも全然大丈夫だと思います！終わった後は足と体を水で流せるし、更衣室もあるので問題なかったです。設備は綺麗でした。予想以上に楽しくて大自然にも癒され、大満足のツアーでした⭐︎

Since my flight arrived in Ishigaki at 17:30, I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything on the first day, but I found this tour. It started at 19:30, so I had plenty of time after dropping off my luggage at the hotel. The meeting point was at the remote island terminal. From there, we traveled about 30 minutes by microbus. After that, we walked through the night forest to the coast. They provide lights and rubber boots for free, so you can walk comfortably. *It's a good idea to bring socks. I didn't get bitten by bugs even without long sleeves.

As we walked down the slope with the light illuminating the path, we encountered a coconut crab. It was a vibrant blue. I was amazed to see a creature I had never seen before.

I was also looking forward to the starry sky, but it was a bit disappointing because it was just after a full moon and too bright. However, it was still much prettier than in the city. I've heard that the sky looks best after a new moon.

On the way back from the coast, I spotted a cicada emerging from its shell. I haven't seen that since I was a child, and it brought back memories from that time. This experience will stay in my heart forever!

I felt like a child again and was able to experience a little adventure. I can recommend this to anyone with elementary school-aged children. I'm sure it will create wonderful memories!

石垣に17:30着の飛行機だったため初日は何もできないかと思いましたがこちらのツアーをみつけました。19:30スタートだったのでホテルに荷物を置いてからでも十分間に合いました。集合は離島ターミナル。そこから30分ほどマイクロバスで移動。その後夜の森の中を海岸まで歩きます。ライトと長靴を無料で貸してくれるので安心して歩けます。※靴下は持って行った方がいいです。長袖は着なくても虫に刺されたりはなかったです。
ライトで道を照らしながら坂道をくだっていくと途中でヤシガニと遭遇。鮮やかな青色。今までに見たことがない生物に感動しました。
星空にも期待しましたが、満月になったばかりで明るかったため星空としては残念でした。しかし都会よりもはるかにきれいな星空でした。新月のあとが一番きれいに見えるそうです。
海岸から戻る途中でクマゼミが羽化しているのを見つけました。セミの羽化を見るのは子供の時以来です。その時の思い出もフラッシュバックしました。経験はずっと心に残っていますね！
童心に返りちょっとした冒険が経験できました。小学生ぐらいのお子さんがいる人にお勧めできます。きっといい思い出ができますよ！！

The canoe experience in the mangroves was more enjoyable than I had imagined. The unique ecosystem of plants and animals on Ishigaki Island felt like it was not in Japan at all! The weather was nice, and we were able to take our time, resting in the shade along the way, with a pleasant breeze. Our guide was cheerful and full of energy, taking lots of photos, which made for great memories! On the way back, we talked about recommended restaurants on Ishigaki Island. If you visit Ishigaki Island, be sure to check it out!

マングローブでのカヌー体験は想像以上に楽しい経験でした。
石垣島独特の植物や動物などの生態系はまるで日本ではないようでした！
天気も良く、途中日陰で休憩を挟みながらゆったり体験でき、風も気持ちよかったです。
ガイドさんも明るく元気いっぱいで写真もいっぱい撮っていただいて、いい思い出になりました！
帰り道では石垣島のおすすめの飲食店の話などをしていただきました。
石垣島に行った際には是非足を運んでみてください！

I experienced a mangrove canoe and water buffalo tour to Yubu Island in Iriomote Island. The weather was great on the day of the tour, and canoeing in such a beautiful setting was fantastic. The staff member, Shotaro, explained the ecology of the mangroves in a very easy-to-understand way, and it was a lot of fun to listen to him. We had a 3-year-old toddler with us, but the staff were very considerate, and we were able to enjoy the experience all the way to the end without any issues. They also took many wonderful photos, creating great memories. If I have the opportunity to visit again, I would definitely like to request this tour again. Thank you very much!

西表島にてマングローブカヌーと水牛で由布島観光を体験しました。ツアー当日はお天気が良く、絶景の中でのカヌーは最高でした。今回担当して下さったスタッフのしょうたろうさんはマングローブの生態についてとてもわかりやすく教えてくださり、聞いていてとても楽しかったです。3歳になったばかりの幼児も一緒だったのですがスタッフの方々にお気遣いいただき無事最後まで楽しんで体験することが出来ました。素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただきとてもいい思い出になりました。また訪れる機会がありましたら、ぜひまたお願いしたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I discovered a tour that combines stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves and snorkeling at the power spot, the Blue Cave, during my first trip to Ishigaki Island, not knowing anything about the area.

I quickly signed up, and although there was a slight mistake with the time in the reservation confirmation, the application was completed without any major issues.

On the day of the tour, we gathered in front of the hotel at 5:45 AM, which meant an extremely early wake-up call. However, since it was a sunrise tour, I enjoyed waking up early, hurriedly got ready, and headed out.

The SUP in the mangroves was enveloped in the morning's tranquility, with no artificial sounds at all, allowing us to leisurely float down the river while enjoying the sounds of nature.

It was truly a wonderful morning activity.

After a brief break, we moved on to the snorkeling tour. They picked us up in front of the hotel and transported us to the snorkeling spot, where we waded into the sea up to our chests to reach the Blue Cave.

The entrance to the cave was a jump dive spot, and with a shout, we made a splash.

After touching the natural amethyst in the Blue Cave and praying for an increase in fortune, we finally went snorkeling.

We encountered colorful fish and sea snakes, enjoying a natural aquarium experience.

The guide shared a lot of information during our travels, which was very educational.

With a packed half-day tour, we had plenty of time in the afternoon, making it a great value tour.

初めての石垣島旅行で何も分からず、マングローブでのSUPとパワースポットである青の洞窟シュノーケリングがセットになったツアーを発見

すぐに申し込み、予約確認で若干時間の間違いがあったものの、特に問題なく申し込み完了。

当日は05:45ホテル前集合と、超早起きでしたが、サンライズツアーなので早起き自体を楽しみ、バタバタと支度してお出かけ。

マングローブでのSUPは早朝の静寂に包まれ人工的な音が一切せず、自然の音だけを楽しみながらゆったりと川をフロート。

本当に良い朝活ができました。


一旦解散してからのシュノーケリングツアー
ホテル前に迎えに来てくれて、シュノーケリングスポットまで移動し、青の洞窟は胸まで海に浸かっての移動。

洞窟入り口がジャンプダイブスポットになっていて、掛け声と共にスプラッシュ

青の洞窟で天然の紫水晶に触れ、金運上昇を祈願したあとは、いよいよシュノーケリング

色とりどりの魚や海蛇にも遭遇し天然の水族館を楽しみました。

ガイドさんは移動中たくさん話を聞かせてくれてとても勉強になりました。

半日モリモリで午後もタップリ時間が使えるのでお得なツアーだと思います。

The guide had a wealth of knowledge about Ishigaki Island, and I could feel their love for the place. Whenever insects or animals appeared, they would immediately provide explanations, which was very educational. The weather wasn't great that day, so we couldn't see the starry sky, but they adjusted the schedule to focus more on the jungle night tour, allowing us to have a very fulfilling experience. They also introduced us to tourist spots and recommended delicious restaurants! Thank you very much!

ガイドの方の石垣島に対する知識がとても豊富で、石垣島への愛を感じました。昆虫や動物が現れると、すぐに解説をしてくれるので、とても勉強になりました。当日は天気があまり良くなかったこともあり、満天の星空を見ることはできませんでしたが、その分時間を調整してジャングルナイトツアーの方に重点を置いてくれたので、非常に充実した時間を送ることができました。石垣島の観光スポットやおすすめの美味しいお店なども紹介してくれます！
本当にありがとうございました！

On the last day of my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I used this tour. The meeting place was easy to find, and they made a thorough confirmation call the day before the tour! This tour was supposed to include snorkeling at the Phantom Island and SUP at Kabira Bay, but unfortunately, neither could be conducted due to strong winds. Instead, we changed to snorkeling at the Blue Cave and mangrove SUP, both of which were very fulfilling! During the journey to the locations, the staff shared various stories about Ishigaki Island, making it enjoyable all day long. The reservation process was very smooth, and the price was reasonable, so I would like to use this service again when I come back to Ishigaki Island! Thank you!

初めての石垣島旅行で3日間の内の最終日にこちらのツアーを利用させていただきました。
集合場所も分かりやすく、ツアー前日の確認電話もしっかりしていました！今回のツアーは幻の島シュノーケリングと川平湾SUPの予定でしたが、どちらも強風の影響で実施されなかったのでそこだけは残念ですその代わりに、青の洞窟シュノーケリングとマングローブSUPに内容変更となりましたがどちらもとっても充実していました！場所に行くまでの道中も担当のお兄さんお姉さんが石垣島についての色んな話をしてくれるので、1日中楽しむことができます☺️
予約からツアー当日までとてもスムーズで価格もお手頃なので、また石垣島にくる際はこちらを利用したいと思いました！ありがとうございました

I participated with my 5-year-old son.

This was my child's second time snorkeling. I had the impression that he didn't do well the first time, but perhaps because he had some experience, he was able to swim even better than I expected this time!

Snorkeling with the sea turtles was absolutely amazing! ♡♡

They were surprisingly close, and we were able to take pictures. The guide, Matsuura, was very kind to the children, which was greatly appreciated as a parent.

It was a tour I would love to join again if the opportunity arises.

5歳児の息子と一緒に参加。

シュノーケルは2回目の子で、
初回は上手くできてなかったイメージだったけど、経験済だからか、今回は思っていた以上に泳げていた！

で、ウミガメとのシュノーケルはすっごく良かった♡♡

びっくりするほど、近い距離にいて写真も撮れたし、担当してくれた松浦さんが、子供にも優しくて、子連れとしてはありがたかった♪

また機会があればお願いしたいツアーでした。

The plan packed with kayaking, caving, snorkeling, and SUP was a great choice, even though I had some concerns about my physical stamina.

I was able to enjoy everything efficiently, and since we had a leisurely lunch at a recommended restaurant by our guide, I didn't feel too tired.

I didn't have high expectations for the Pumpkin Cave, but it turned out to be my favorite activity. Inside, it's a very mystical place, and there are unique experiences like climbing with ropes and jumping into the sea that I highly recommend!

During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle and even got to take photos up close!

Lying on the SUP and looking at the blue sky and sea was also a wonderful experience!

It was the best day. Thank you for taking so many photos!

カヤック&ケイビング&シュノーケル＆SUPと盛りだくさんのプランは、体力的に不安がありましたが、このプランにして正解でした。

効率良く楽しめたし、ガイドさんのおすすめのお店でゆっくりランチもできたので、それほど疲れは感じませんでした。

パンプキン鍾乳洞は、あまり期待してませんでしたが、一番お気に入りのアクティビティでした。
中はとても神秘的な場所なのに、ロープで登ったり、海に飛び込んだりとココでしかできない体験もありオススメです！

シュノーケルでは、ウミガメと出会うことができ、近くで写真も撮れてラッキーでした！

SUPの上に寝転んで、青い空と海を見ている時間も良かったです！

最高の1日でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがとうございました。

I was grateful that you were able to change my SUP to a canoe at Kabira Bay. There were some who had just undergone surgery and others who needed extra assistance, so I apologize for the trouble, but I was able to participate very enjoyably and comfortably. During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I saw a lot of fish. However, I got so caught up in watching the fish that I didn't really feel the blueness of the Blue Cave, and it turned into more of a cave exploration, which was a bit disappointing. Just like I made a wish at the Crystal of Wishes, I would like to participate in the recommended activities again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

川平湾でのSUPをカヌーに変更して頂けて助かりました。
手術明けのものや手のかかるものもいてご面倒お掛けしましたがとても楽しく気持ちよく参加できました。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚が見れました。
ただ魚に夢中になりすぎて青の洞窟なのに青さ感を感じず洞窟探検になってしまってのが残念でした。
願いのクリスタルに願掛けしたようにまた石垣島に行くときはオススメ頂いたアクティビティに参加したいです。

It was great for our family of five, including a small child, to enjoy the experience. We were able to see the corals and fish underwater in a transparent kayak. The photos and drone footage turned out beautifully, and we received the data, creating wonderful memories in photos and videos.

家族5人で参加小さい幼児も一緒に楽しめて、透明なカヤックで海の中のサンゴや魚が見れて良かったです。
写真撮影からドローン撮影も素敵に取れてデーターももらえて素敵な思い出写真映像になりました。

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Miyakojima Pumpkin Cave Tour, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. The natural beauty of the cave, combined with the well-organized tour, made for an exceptional experience.

The tour was both thrilling and educational. The guide was knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the cave's formation and history. The Pumpkin Cave itself is a natural wonder, with its unique rock formations.

One of the highlights of the tour was the stunning cave scenery. This hidden cave located by the beach was so marvelous and the scenery of the stalactites was so beautiful. The guide's enthusiasm and expertise added to the experience, making it both enjoyable and informative. I also appreciated the small group size, which allowed for a more personalized experience and the opportunity to ask questions. The guide is also very good at English, so no need to worry about communication.

The shoes and safety gear will be provided and the ground is not as slippery as I expected. A flashlight will also be prepared by the tour, so no need to prepare it in advance. Lastly, be prepared for a bit of physical activity, as some parts of the tour require rowing to the cave and climbing in the cave. (Not tough at all!)

Overall, the Miyakojima Pumpkin Cave Tour is a must-do for anyone visiting the area. It's a unique and memorable experience that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of Miyakojima's landscape.

This time, I couldn't find time during the day, so I signed up for the Sunrise Canoe, and it was the perfect choice!
1. The sunrise was incredibly beautiful.
2. It was cool.
3. I could enjoy nature and have the guide all to myself (it was not crowded).
4. The tranquility of the morning brought a unique sense of nature, with the sounds of wildlife.
5. It was a great use of time (I was able to participate before taking the 9:00 boat back).

Both guides were kind and shared a lot of interesting knowledge about plants and animals. I learned so much about the nature of Iriomote. They took many photos, and all of them were really great! Thank you, Hayata and Shun!

今回、日中に時間がとれなくてサンライズカヌーに申し込みましたが、これが大正解でした＾＾
①朝焼けがめちゃくちゃ綺麗　
②涼しい
③自然とガイドさんを独占できる（空いている）
④朝ならではの静けさの中の自然感、鳴き声とか
⑤時間の有効活用（9:00発の船で帰る前に参加できた）
ガイドさんはお二人とも親切で、植物や動物のいろんな知識を教えてくれて面白かったです。西表の自然のことたくさん知れました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださって、どれもすごく良い写真でした！
はやたさん、しゅんさんありがとうございました！

I have always loved living creatures. I participated with my husband, who is not fond of insects. It was truly enjoyable to explore a jungle-like path without any leveling, using a flashlight that was given to each of us! Three young men acted as conductors, and I was impressed by their wealth of knowledge; whenever I asked, "What is this?" they would immediately tell me.

As we searched for creatures, shining our lights from our feet to above our heads, whenever we found something and reported it to the young men, they never showed any annoyance. Instead, they would stop and explain everything in detail.

After passing through the jungle, we arrived at a beach with a stunning starry sky! The moment everyone turned off their flashlights, another wave of emotion hit us. They also taught us about constellations in detail, and I was in awe of their extensive knowledge. Even my husband, who dislikes insects but loves stars, was moved by this experience.

I often get strange looks from others for my love of creatures, but in this environment, it was perfectly normal to touch a stick insect or get excited about frogs. I was so happy. I think this experience might not be suitable for those who are afraid of insects, but I highly recommend it for those who are okay with them! I would even want to come back to Ishigaki Island just to participate in this again.

If you love living creatures, I encourage you to experience this amazing adventure. It was truly fun. Thank you to the three young men! (*ˊᵕˋ*)‼︎

もともと生き物全般が大好きな私。
虫が苦手な旦那を引き連れ、参加しました。
整地が一切されていないジャングルのような道を、1人一本ずつ渡される懐中電灯を照らしながら探索するのが本当に楽しかった！
3人のお兄さんがコンダクターをしてくれますが、どの方もとにかく知識が豊富で「これは何？」と聞くとすぐに教えてくれることに感動。
足元から頭上まで各々で灯りを照らしながら生き物を探し、見つけたらお兄さんに報告すると、鬱陶しがることは全くなく、きちんと立ち止まって丁寧に説明してくれます。
そしてそのジャングルを抜けた先には、満点の星空が広がるビーチ！
全員が懐中電灯を消した瞬間に、また別の感動が訪れます。
そこでも星座などを細かく教えてくれ、知識量の多さに脱帽。
虫嫌いだけど星は好きな旦那も、これには感動していました。
生き物が好きすぎて普段は周りからドン引きされることが多い私ですが、ナナフシを触っても、カエルに興奮しても、それが当たり前に受け入れられる環境でした。うれしかったです。
虫が苦手な方は向いていないと思いますが、大丈夫な方には本当にオススメです！
これに参加するためにまた石垣島に来たいくらい。
生き物好きな方は、ぜひこの感動を味わってみてください。
本当に楽しかったです。3人のお兄さん、ありがとうございました(*ˊᵕˋ*)‼︎

I requested a tour on Miyako Island for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles nearby! Our sea kayaking with friends went well too! The Pumpkin Cave was beyond my imagination, and I experienced the incredible power of nature up close; it was an extraordinary experience! That was truly amazing!!

The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, sharing various knowledge that was educational, and I created wonderful memories. They took photos from angles that we definitely couldn't have captured ourselves, and I was very satisfied with the results!

Thank you so much!

初めての宮古島でツアーをお願いしました^_^
近くでウミガメも見れたし！友達とのシーカヤックも上手くいったし！パンプキン鍾乳洞は想像以上で、自然の凄さを間近で感じる事が出来る、非日常感ハンパない体験が出来ました！本当にあれは凄い！！

スタッフさんも気さくに話しかけてくれて、色んな知識を教えてくれて勉強にもなったし素敵な思い出ができました^_^
写真も自分達だけでは絶対に取れないアングルから撮ってくれたりと大満足の仕上がりです♪

ありがとうございました〜〜♪♪

I had a dream of seeing a perfect starry sky on a remote island, and I am very happy that it came true. The observation spot was on asphalt, so I could lie down without hesitation and fully experience the starry sky.
I really love the Valtour tours because they are easy to book, and I want to continue using them in the future.

離島で満点の星空を見る夢があり、それが叶ってとても幸せな気持ちです。そして観察スポットが、アスファルトだったため気兼ねなく寝ることができ、全身で星空を体験できました。
ヴァルトラツアーは気軽に申し込めるので、とても大好きでこれからも利用したいと思っています。

Today was my first experience with snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The weather was sunny, making for a perfect start.

First, we went snorkeling. It had been 10 years since I last visited the ocean, and I was initially nervous. However, our guide, Ann, was cheerful and attentive, which made me feel at ease, and we successfully began our snorkeling adventure. Although I was tense at first, once I got in the water and put my face in, that tension quickly turned into amazement. The underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful and surprising. I could clearly see the seabed with my own eyes, which is something you don't find in the waters around Honshu. The tropical fish were very colorful and vibrant. Along the way, we received explanations about the fish and corals, making the experience very meaningful, and time flew by. Although I didn’t encounter any sea turtles, I was very satisfied with the experience.

Next was SUP, which was also my first time. At first, it was difficult to stand, but I gradually got the hang of it and was able to paddle while standing. Honestly, I wasn't very interested in SUP, but I’m grateful to the people I went with; it was a lot of fun.

Additionally, the waters around Miyako Island are incredibly beautiful. This tour was excellent, and I would love to come back.

今日は人生初シュノーケリング、SUPの日。天気も晴れ。最高のスタート。
まずはシュノーケリング、10年ぶりの海で初めは緊張していたがガイドさんのアンさんは元気よく常々気にかけてくれ、とても親切で無事にシュノーケリングがスタートした。初めは緊張していたものの入水し顔を海面に入れたが、その緊張も一瞬で感動で吹っ飛んだ。それも海の中がとても綺麗で驚いた。海底まだはっきり肉眼で確認できる。本州の海にはないことだ。南国の魚はとてもカラフルで鮮やかだ。途中途中魚やサンゴの説明もしてくれて、とても有意義で時間が経つのがはやい。ウミガメには出会うことが出来なかったがとても満足して終了。
次はSUP.こちらも人生初体験。初めは立つことも難しかったが徐々に慣れ、立って漕ぐ事ができた。正直SUPに対しては興味は余りなかったが、一緒に回った方々に感謝だ、とても楽しかった。
また、宮古島の海はとても綺麗だ。今回のツアーはとてもよかった。また来たいと思う。

I made a reservation for him, who kept saying "I want to see the coconut crab" before the trip. We followed a staff member who called himself a coconut crab hunter, and we were able to see them safely!!! He was very satisfied after taking a commemorative photo with the coconut crab. As for me, I’m not good with bugs, but the staff member's explanations were interesting, and surprisingly, I was able to enjoy it.
We were also able to see the starry sky beautifully. I definitely want to participate again during the season when there are many shooting stars.
For safety, you wear rubber boots, so if you're concerned about being barefoot, I recommend bringing socks.

旅行前から「ヤシガニが観たい」と連呼した彼のために予約。ヤシガニハンターと名乗るスタッフさんに着いていき、無事見ることができました！！！ヤシガニと記念撮影もでき彼は大満足。当の私は虫が苦手なのですが、スタッフさんの解説が面白く意外にも楽しむことができました。
星空も綺麗に見ることができました。流れ星が多い季節に是非また参加したいです。
安全のため長靴を履くので、素足だと気になる方は靴下を持って行くのをお勧めします。

It was a cloudy day, but I was able to see the best starry sky through the gaps in the clouds! I was lucky to also see satellites. I enjoyed a performance on the sanshin under the starry sky, and it became a very enjoyable experience!

雲が多い日でしたが、雲の切れ間から最高の星空を見れました！
衛星も見ることが出来てラッキーです。
星空の下での三線の演奏を楽しむこともでき、とても楽しい経験になりました！

We participated as a family of three. Matsuura, who was in charge, provided thorough explanations, and we could feel their desire for us to enjoy the experience throughout. In the latter half, my wife got "seasick" and started feeling unwell, but even while on the water, they took care of her and simultaneously took many photos. Not only were there wonderful images, but the support was also full of hospitality. Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。
担当いただいた松浦さん、説明も丁寧で私たちに楽しんでもらいたい、という気持ちが終始感じられました。
後半家内が“海酔い”して気分が悪くなったのですが、海上にも関わらず家内の介抱もしていただきながら、同時に写真もたくさん撮影していただきました。
素敵なたくさん画像もさることながら、ホスピタリティ満点のサポートでした。
ありがとうございました。

I had a great time kayaking for the first time! They announced the areas to avoid, like rocky spots, and I finished the kayaking safely. They kindly provided recommendations for sightseeing spots and were very accommodating beyond just their duties. Although it rained a bit during the kayaking, they remained cheerful regardless of the weather. The photos they provided were beautiful, and there were enough of them that I didn't even need to bring my own smartphone! Some people added options to take their own photos, but it was more than sufficient! I would love to request their services again.

はじめてのカヤック楽しかったです！
岩場など避けて通る場所をアナウンスしてもらい、安全にカヤックを終わりました。
おすすめの観光地を教えて頂き業務以外のことも優しく対応してくださいました^ ^
カヤックの時多少雨が多かったですが、天候に関わらず明るく接してくださいました⭐︎
頂いた写真の画像が綺麗で自分でスマホを持っていかなくても充分な枚数でした！オプションをつけて自分で写真を撮っている方もいましたが、充分でした！
またこちらにお願いしたいです。
