All Reviews for Night Tours

The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to. Even during the drive to the location, they shared interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, tourist spots, and delicious places to eat, making the round trip enjoyable without any dull moments. The area was a jungle beyond my imagination, so dark that it was difficult to move without a light, but as we made our way through the jungle together, we learned about animals, insects, and plants that can only be seen there. In the end, we were greeted by a stunning starry sky, which was truly moving. It was a wonderful experience and became a fantastic travel memory.

ガイドの方がすごく気さくな方で話しやすく
現地に移動中の車中でも石垣島の豆知識や観光地、美味しい食事処等を教えてくれて往復の車中は暇を持て余すことなく楽しい移動でした。
現地は想像以上のジャングルでライトがないと進むことも難しいくらい真っ暗ですが、みんなでジャングルを進み現地でしか見ることのできない動物、虫、植物を教えてもらいながら進んで最後にはすごく綺麗な星空が広がっていて感動しました。とてもいい体験が出来て最高な旅の思い出になりました。

I was able to see various creatures: frogs, centipedes, owls, bats, coconut crabs, hiding rock crabs, adult fireflies, hermit crabs, and about three types of crabs.

At first, I was asked which creatures I wanted to see, and I was able to see all the ones I hoped for! The coconut crab, which is a national treasure and an endangered species, was a juvenile, but it was adorable with its bubbles! We passed through a jungle without lights, which felt inaccessible for amateurs. I've been to Ishigaki Island many times, but I couldn't go there on my own, so it was great to join the tour and hear the excitement of my two boys.

Finally, under the starry sky, I saw adult fireflies that looked like shooting stars; they were more vibrant and lively than the fireflies I've seen before. Also, the owl on Owl Street was cute as it left after pooping!

The guide was very kind as well! Thank you very much!

見れた生物、カエル、ゲジゲジ、フクロウ、コウモリ、ヤシガニ、隠れ岩カニ、ホタルの成虫、ヤドカリ、カニ（3種類くらい）

最初に観たい生物の希望を聞かれたのですが、期待した生物を全部見れました！天記念物で絶滅危惧種のヤシガニは子供でしたが、泡をはいていて可愛かったです！途中、灯りのないジャングルを通ってくので、素人にはいけない感じ。石垣島は何度も来たのですが、あそこは自分では行けないので、ツアーに参加して子供（男の子2人）の歓声が聞けて良かったです。

最後に見た、満天の星空の下、流れ星のような蛍の成虫、、見たことある蛍より元気で明るかったです。
あとはフクロウ通りのフクロウ、、うんちをして去っていって可愛かった！

ガイドさんもとても親切でした！
ありがとうございました！

It was a cloudy day, but by reading the flow of the clouds, I was able to capture some very beautiful photos.

It became a great memory. Thank you very much.

雲の多い日でしたが、雲の流れを読み
とても綺麗な写真が出来上がりました。

いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

Going into the jungle with just a flashlight was incredibly thrilling, and the kids were really excited. We were able to see coconut crabs and various other creatures, and each one was explained clearly, which made it easy to understand. I was very moved to see stars that you can't see in the city.

ジャングルの中に懐中電灯一つで行くのはすごくスリルがあって子供らがすごくよろくんでいました。
ヤシガニも見れていろんな生き物がいてその一つ一つ説明してくれて分かりやすかったです。
都会では見れない星が見れてとても感動しました。

I saw photos from a friend's trip to Okinawa and thought they were amazing. This time, I traveled to Miyako Island, and despite making a same-day reservation, I was grateful for the courteous service I received. I was able to create wonderful, memorable photos, and I am very satisfied!

沖縄旅行に行った友人にフォトを見せてもらい、凄くいいなと思い、今回、宮古島旅行で、当日予約にもかかわらず、丁寧にご対応いただきありがとうございました。素晴らしい想い出に残るフォトができ、大変満足です！

The tour guide's stories were really great! We were able to see more than five coconut crabs, including baby coconut crabs! The starry sky was beautiful, with the Milky Way and the stars of Orihime and Hikoboshi visible. We also saw many other creatures, so I was very satisfied! They take you to spots that are not easy to reach. However, the tour itself takes about three hours, so I recommend it for those who have the time. It mentions wearing long sleeves and long pants, but in September it can be hot, so I suggest just wearing long pants. The tour was a lot of fun, so I would like to try a different tour when I come back to Ishigaki Island.

ツアーガイドのお兄さんのお話がとても 良かったです！
ヤシガニは５匹以上 、赤ちゃんヤシガニまで見れたり！星空は天の川や 織姫と彦星が見れたりしました。他にも沢山の生物を見れたりと 大満足です！
なかなか行けない スポットに連れていってくれます！
ただ ツアー自体３時間はかかりますので、お時間がある方にオススメです。
長袖長ズボンと記載されてますが9月だと暑いので 長ズボンだけにするなどしてはしい。
ツアーはすごく楽しかったので また石垣島に来たら違うツアーにも行ってみたいです。

The first half was a thrilling tour where we moved forward in the dark with our lights on. After being guided through various wonderful local creatures like giant coconut crabs, sea snakes, crabs, and frogs, we were able to see a stunning starry sky and the Milky Way in the second half. I was moved to have photos taken with the starry sky as a backdrop. I also appreciated the guide's spirit of service. It was absolutely fantastic. If I come to Miyako Island again, I plan to use this service once more. Thank you very much.

前半は暗闇の中でライトを照らしてドキドキしながら進むツアーでした。巨大ヤシガニや海蛇、カニ、カエルなどのさまざまな素敵な現地の生物を案内していただいたあと、後半は満点の最高の星空や天の川を見ることができました。星空をバックの写真も撮ってもらえて感動しました。ガイドさんのサービス精神もありがたかったです。めちゃくちゃ良かったです。宮古島に来ることがあれば、また利用するつもりです。ありがとうございました。

This trip was planned around my child's wish to see a coconut crab, so we were thrilled to see the coveted coconut crab in person! The kids were super excited! We were lucky to encounter a large coconut crab as well, which made us very happy!

Walking through the dark forest felt like an adventure, and it was fun. Although some parts of the path were slippery and there were protruding rocks, the guides provided encouragement and matched our pace, allowing us to enjoy without any anxiety or fear.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and soothing. The explanations about the constellations were very educational. On the way back, we enjoyed quizzes about Ishigaki Island and even some spooky stories, making the tour fun from start to finish.

The guide's personality and storytelling were fantastic! This was the most enjoyable tour I've ever participated in. I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you!

今回の旅行は、子どもの「ヤシガニが見たい！」で企画した石垣島旅行でしたので、動画の中で見た憧れのヤシガニを生で見ることができ、子どもたちは大興奮でした！運良く、大きなサイズのヤシガニにも出会えて嬉しかったです！
真っ暗な森を歩いて行くのも、探検をしているようで楽しかったです。途中足場が滑りやすかったり、岩がせり出ている道もありましたが、細かな声掛けやゆっくりとペースを合わせていただき、不安や恐怖心もなく楽しむ事ができました(^^)
星空も最高にキレイで癒されました。星座の説明もしていただき大変勉強になりました☆
帰り路の車内でも、石垣島クイズやちょっと怖いホラー話も聞かせていただき、最初から最後までずっと楽しいツアーでした。
ガイドさんの人柄やトークも最高でした♪今まで参加したツアーの中で1番楽しかったです。
また石垣島に来た際は参加必須です( ◠‿◠ )
ありがとうございました！

The tour guide was knowledgeable about the island's unique wildlife, and we were able to see frogs, the largest spider in Japan, a natural monument shell, a bagworm, and the coconut crab we were hoping to see. It was a very enjoyable night tour for animal lovers! Thank you for the valuable experience.

ツアーのガイドさんが、島固有の生物に詳しく、カエルや日本最大の蜘蛛、天然記念物の巻貝、ミノムシ、目的だったヤシガニにも会えて、生き物好きには、とても楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
貴重な体験ありがとうございます

I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to see many stars in the city area. It was dark and a little scary on the way there, but once I arrived, the staff member was friendly and funny. The forecast said it would be rainy and cloudy, but the weather in Miyako Island changes quickly, and we were able to see a perfect starry sky! It was truly beautiful and moving, and it became a wonderful memory. I was really glad I captured so many stars with my own eyes and took photos! I wish I had thought more about the poses I wanted to take, and I think it would be nice to wear cute clothes and have a nice hairstyle for the occasion!

市街の辺ではあんまり星がなくて本当に見えるのかなぁと少し不安でした。笑
行くまでも暗くて少し怖かったですが、ついてみたら担当のお兄さんが親しみやすく、面白い人で
予報では雨から曇りだったらしいのですが、宮古島の天気はコロコロ変わりやすく、晴れて100点満点の星空が見られました！本当にすごい綺麗で感動しましたし、いい思い出になりました♡肉眼でもあんなにたくさん見れて本当に写真に残して正解です！
撮りたいポーズをもっと考えていたらよかったなと思ったのと、髪型も服も可愛い服でいくのがいいと思いました！

The children were delighted to encounter creatures and a large coconut crab. The parents were moved by the perfect starry sky.

Due to other tours being present and the limited time, there were only a few places where we could leisurely search for creatures, which seemed a bit unsatisfying for the children.

Also, since it can get quite sweaty, it's better to prepare plenty of water for peace of mind.

There was some trash washed up from neighboring countries, which left us with mixed feelings. I thought it would be nice to have a tour that involves picking that up as well.

The guide was friendly and cheerful with the children, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Thank you!

子供は生き物探しと大きなヤシガニと数匹会えたことに喜んでいました。親は満点の星空に感動。
前後に他のツアーがいたり、時間もあるので、ゆっくり生き物を探せる場所は限られていました、そこが子供は少し物足りなかったようです。
あと汗だくになるので水分は多めに準備していったほうが安心です。
隣の国から流れ着いたゴミもところどころあり、複雑な気持ちに。それを拾いながらのツアーなんかもあるといいな、と思いました。
ガイドさんは子供達にも気さくで明るく接してくださり、安心して楽しめました◎
ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of four. The tour guides introduced us to many creatures, showed us how to catch a coconut crab climbing on a rock, and helped us find pandanus fruit. During the bus ride there, they also shared stories about Ishigaki Island, making the travel time enjoyable. They provided rental boots and lights, which kept our shoes clean, so that was great. Thank you very much. We would love to participate again.

家族4人で参加しました。
ツアーはガイドのお二人がたくさん生き物を紹介してくれたら、ヤシガニを岩に登って取って見せてくれたら、アダンの実も探して見せてくれました。
また行きのバスの中でも、石垣島のお話をしてくれて移動時間も楽しく過ごせました。
長靴とライトの貸し出しがあり、靴も汚れず良かったです。
ありがとうございました。またぜひ参加させていただきます。

I was informed in advance that while there would be a starry sky, depending on the season and time, there might be moonlight, so we would focus on shooting with the moonlight. On the day of the shoot, I was worried because it was cloudy, but the stars appeared just in time for the shooting, which was a relief. The actual shooting took about 30 minutes. I was asked if I had thought about the poses I wanted, but I hadn’t thought of anything... However, the photographer gave clear and prompt instructions on poses and positioning, allowing the shoot to proceed smoothly.

星空とありますが季節や時間によっては月明かりがあるので、月明かりを中心に撮影を進めます、と事前に連絡をいただいていました。当日は曇り空のため不安でしたが、撮影の時間には星空があらわれ一安心。撮影自体は３０分程度、とりたいポーズを考えてきましたか、と聞かれましたが、何も考えておらず・・・。しかし、カメラマンさんがポーズや位置どりなどの指示をテンポよくしてくださりスムーズに撮影を進めてくださいました。

We participated as a family of four with two elementary school students.

Initially, we were looking for a stargazing tour, but this was a jungle night tour plus stargazing, so we booked it right away.

As we ventured deeper into the jungle, we encountered various creatures. Among them, discovering the rare coconut crab was definitely thanks to this tour.

The beautiful starry sky was breathtaking. Walking along the sandy beach, I also became engrossed in collecting beautiful seashells.

The guide was so knowledgeable about the area that I felt completely at ease participating.

Thanks to our friendly guide, we also became friends with the other family who joined us, and we had a wonderfully enjoyable two hours together.

小学生2人を連れて家族4人で参加しました。

当初、星空ツアーを探していましたが、こちらはジャンングルナイトツアー➕星空だったので、すぐに予約しました。

想像以上のジャングルを進むと、様々な生き物に出会えました。中でも、珍しいヤシガニを発見したのはこのツアーで行ったからこそ、と思います。

生涯一綺麗な星空には圧巻でした。砂浜を歩くと、綺麗な貝殻集めにも夢中になりました。

ガイドのお兄さんは、プライベートで現地を訪れる位現地情報を網羅していて、安心して参加者できました。

人懐こいガイドさんのおかげか、一緒に参加したご家族とも仲良くなり、2時間たっぷり、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。

Perhaps due to the rain during the day, there were some clouds, and I had given up on taking nice photos. However, when the clouds cleared a little, I was able to take photos very efficiently.

お昼の雨のせいもあってか、少し雲がかかっており、きれいな写真は撮れないなと諦めていました。が、少しだけ雲がはけたときにとても効率よく撮ってくれました。

The tour guide, Tsuru-chan, was the best part of the experience. Not only did we see many creatures, but he also provided detailed explanations for each one. It was great that he was kind and attentive to the children as well. We even got to see three coconut crabs! I would definitely like to use this service again.

*I would appreciate it if the time from gathering to the start of the tour could be shortened a bit.*

ツアーガイドのツルちゃんが何よりよかったです。
たくさんの生き物を見つけるだけでなく、それぞれ丁寧に説明してくれました。
子供達にも優しく声がけしてくれたのもよかったです。
ヤシガニも３匹も見れました！
またぜひ利用したいです。
※集合からツアー開始までの時間をもう少し短縮してもらえるとなお嬉しいです。

Since I went to Miyako Island for the first time during summer vacation, I wanted a family photo as a keepsake, so I requested a photoshoot this time. When we were guided to the shooting location, we saw many stars that looked like a planetarium, and the whole family was overjoyed. If the weather is clear, you can see the Milky Way in a sky full of stars. On this day, there wasn't a single cloud, so we could see many stars and the Milky Way clearly. The Milky Way also appeared beautifully in the background of the photos. We received mystical photos, and it turned out to be a wonderful family picture! Thank you!

夏休みに初めての宮古島へ行ったので、記念に家族写真が欲しくて、今回撮影をお願いしました。
撮影場所まで案内されて行くと、プラネタリウムのようなたくさんの星が見えて家族みんな大喜びでした。
晴れていれば満天の星空の中に天の川も見ることが出来ます。この日は雲ひとつなかったので、たくさんの星と天の川がハッキリと見ることが出来ました。写真にも天の川が背景で写りとてもキレイです。
神秘的な写真を撮っていただき、ステキな家族写真になりました！ありがとうございます！

I was able to see the coconut crab not just from a distance, but the staff caught one and showed it to us, allowing us to see it up close, more than I had imagined. Although the weather was bad and we couldn't see a starry sky, the staff persevered until the last moment, and we were able to see many stars peeking through the clouds. I'm grateful for that.

ヤシガニは見るだけじゃなく、スタッフさんが捕まえて見せてくれたので、想像以上に近くで見られました。天候が悪く満天の星空は見れませんでしたが、ギリギリまでスタッフさんが粘ってくださり、雲の合間からたくさんの星が見れました。感謝です。

We participated as a family of three (with a 9-year-old son) and had a truly wonderful time.

I did the "Night Kayak" ten years ago when I visited Iriomote Island, and I couldn't forget the breathtaking starry sky I saw then. I had always wanted to do it again, and this time, I was overjoyed to be able to share it with my grown son.

We set off before it got dark, and it was a luxurious experience to savor the passage of time as each star appeared one by one.

The guide's explanations about the mangroves and constellations were also great.

We were able to enjoy the darkness and tranquility that you can't experience in the city.

The sounds of owls, the shadows of bats flying right in front of us, and the sparkling light of the bioluminescent plankton were all impressive.

家族3人（子供は9歳男子）で参加し、大変すばらしい時間を過ごせました。

「ナイトカヤック」は10年前に西表島に来たときにして、そのときに見た星空の感動が忘れられず、是非またと思っていましたが、今回は大きくなった息子と一緒にできて感無量です。

暗くなる前に出発し、一つ一つ星が現れてくる時間の経過を味わえる贅沢な時間でした。

ガイドさんのマングローブや星座の解説も良かったです。

都会では味わえない暗闇と静けさを堪能できました。

フクロウの鳴き声や目の前を飛ぶ蝙蝠の影、夜光虫のきらきらした光が印象的でした。

Thank you for the detailed explanation about constellations; it was refreshing. I was touched to understand the background and significance. I appreciate the care taken in creating the photos from shooting to finishing. Thank you for the extraordinary experience.

星座の話を丁寧に説明していただき、新鮮でした。背景と意義を理解できプチ感動でした。写真は、撮影から仕上げまで丁寧に作成していただき感謝です。
非日常を体験できありがとうございました。

After the daytime mangroves and Pinai Sara Falls, we participated in a stargazing session led by a professional, which was breathtaking and created unforgettable memories.

While enjoying the lovely twilight, we headed out for a night canoe trip. Unlike during the day, the calm waves allowed us to move slowly, and as we glided through the mangroves in silence, we experienced nature up close with many bats flying nearby.

As we returned from the mangroves, stars began to appear one by one, and before we knew it, the sky was filled with countless stars. Additionally, bioluminescent plankton started to show up near the canoe, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful night.

We even received lovely souvenirs, making our unforgettable memories of Iriomote Island even more special! I highly recommend this for family trips as well as for couples!

昼のマングローブとピナイサーラの滝に続いて参加。プロが解説する星空は圧巻で、忘れられない思い出でした。
素敵なトワイライト時間を楽しみつつ、ナイトカヌーへ。。。
昼間と違い静かな波のためゆっくりと進むことができ、静寂の中マングローブを進んでいくと近くをたくさんのこうもりが飛んできて自然を体感出来ました。

マングローブから戻るとぽつぽつと星が現れ始め、気付くとあたり一面は満天の星空に。。。そして、カヌーの近くには夜光虫が現れ始め、素敵な夜を過ごすことが出来ました。

素敵なお土産までいただき、忘れられない西表島も思い出になりました！
家族旅行はもちろん、カップルにもお勧めです！

I created unforgettable memories with beautiful sunsets, canoeing in complete darkness, and seeing creatures and magical scenery that can only be experienced at night!

Thanks to the new moon in midsummer and the favorable weather, it was an experience that exceeded my expectations.

My child is in elementary school, and all three of us were beginners at canoeing, but there was a thorough briefing at the beginning, so we had no problems.

綺麗なサンセットや、真っ暗な中で漕ぐカヌー、夜にしか見られない生き物や幻想的な景色を見られて忘れられない思い出が出来ました！

真夏の新月でお天気に恵まれた事もあり、参加前に期待していた以上の体験でした。

子供は小学生で、親子3人共カヌー初心者でしたが最初に丁寧な講習があり問題ありませんでした。

The service from the company was just terrible...

There may have been some mistakes on our part when making the reservation, but we are just ordinary travelers.

I don't even want to remember this anymore.

とにかく業者さんの対応が酷すぎて...

こちらの予約時の不手際もあるかもしれませんが､
こちらは単なる旅行者です｡

もう思い出したくも無いです｡

It became the best memory. The staff were very accommodating and taught me about Miyako Island. I usually don't write reviews like this, but I will. I recommend it.

最高の思い出になりました。
スタッフの方もとても対応が良く、宮古島の事も教えてくれました。
普段こういうのは書きませんが、レビューします。
オススメです。

I had my first experience taking photos of the starry sky, and it was beyond my expectations! Since the weather is a factor, it's not always guaranteed that you can see it, but I would love to come back. Thank you very much.

初めて、星空の写真を撮ってもらいましたが、想像以上でした！天気が相手なので、いつも見れるとは限らないですが、また来たいと思います。ありがとうございました。

This was my first time taking starry sky photos in Miyako Island. When it was time to shoot, it started to get a bit cloudy, and it began to rain a little, but the rain stopped halfway through, allowing us to resume the shoot! The staff gave various pose instructions and we were able to chat a lot, making the experience very enjoyable!

宮古島では初めて星空フォト。
いざ、撮る時になると若干曇り始め、途中から少し雨が降り始めましたが、途中で雨が止んで撮影再開することができました！おねえさんが色々なポーズの指示をくれたり、たくさんお話することができたのでとても楽しく撮影することができました！

It was a bit cloudy at first, which made me anxious, but thanks to the guide who quickly took photos at the right moments when the clouds parted, I was able to capture some stunning pictures! It was also great that the sample photos from the tour turned out just as they were shown, matching my expectations perfectly.

少々曇りで最初は不安でしたが、ガイドさんが雲の切れ目を狙って手早く撮影してくれたため、感動するお写真が撮れました！
ツアーの見本の写真がその通りに撮れて、イメージ通りだったこともとても良かったです

It was even more beautiful than seeing it at the sea, and they explained the stars to us. They also took beautiful photos, and we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much! ❁

海で見るより更に綺麗で
星の説明もしてくださり
写真も綺麗に撮ってくださり
素敵な時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました❁

The moonlight was strong, so we couldn't see many stars, but instead, we were able to take wonderful photos in various poses with the fantastic moon as a backdrop. Thank you!

月明かりが強くて星はあまり見えませんでしたが、その代わり幻想的な月をバックに色んなポーズで素晴らしい写真を撮っていただけました。
ありがとうございました！

I was a bit disappointed to hear that the photos would focus on the moon instead of the starry sky due to the moon's influence this time, but seeing the actual photos was simply wonderful! The guide was also very kind, and even though it was a short time, I really enjoyed it!

今回月の影響で星空ではなく月メインの写真になると聞いて少し残念に思っていましたが、実際の写真を見ると素晴らしいの一言でした！ガイドさんもすごく親切で短い時間でしたが楽しませてもらいました！
