I participated in this tour to quickly visit nearby islands since I will be in Ishigaki Island for a few days. The bus driver's explanations in Iriomote were excellent, the lunch on Yufu Island was delicious, and the ice candy and star sand on Taketomi Island made for a dream-like day.
石垣島に数日いくので、近隣の島をサクッと回れるこのツアーに参加しました。西表のバス運転手さんの説明が最高で、由布島のランチは美味しいし、竹富島のアイスキャンディーと星砂、夢みたいな一日でした。

We signed up for a tour because we heard there was a high chance of seeing sea turtles. This was my first experience with snorkeling, and I'm not very good at swimming, but before we started, they carefully taught us how to put on the snorkeling mask and goggles, which made me feel safe entering the water. We were able to encounter clownfish and, finally, the sea turtles we had been hoping to see, and we also got some wonderful photos taken. Thank you very much!
高確率でウミガメを見られるとのことで夫婦でツアーに申し込みました。私はシュノーケリング初体験で泳ぎもそんなに得意ではないのですが、泳ぎ始める前にシュノーケル用のマスク・ゴーグルの装着方法を丁寧に教えていただき、安心して海に入ることができました。カクレクマノミや念願のウミガメにも出会うことができ、素敵な写真も撮っていただけました。本当にありがとうございました!

I took photos while listening to music under a sky full of stars. I was nervous since it was my first time shooting, but I was able to relax and pose as I wanted! While waiting for others to finish their shoots, I sat back in a chair and enjoyed the starry sky. It was a very precious experience, and I am grateful for it. I definitely want to come back to Miyako Island again.
空いっぱいの星空の中、音楽を聴きながら撮影をしました。初めての撮影で緊張していましたが、リラックスしながら撮りたいポーズで撮影できました!他の方の撮影を待っている間も、椅子に腰掛けてゆったりと星空を満喫できました。とても貴重な体験をすることができ、感謝しています。また絶対に宮古島に来たいです。

I was taken care of during the sea turtle tour. Although it was postponed by a day due to the typhoon, I was amazed by the beautiful, clear blue of the ocean, which showed no signs of the storm's impact. The staff's response during the postponement was excellent. I think there were at least 5 or 6 sea turtles. I couldn't believe how close we could get to them. During the tour, the guide led us and shared interesting facts. The tour package included all the necessary equipment, so it seemed like I could participate with just my swimsuit. I brought a camera to take underwater photos, but it turned out I didn't need it, as they took about 100 high-quality pictures and sent them to my smartphone right away. I loved all the photos and was very satisfied. The tour lasted from 9:00 to 11:00, and I think it was more than enough time to enjoy it. On the last day of my 4-night, 5-day trip, I had an emotional experience, and I am filled with gratitude for the staff.
ウミガメツアーでお世話になりました。
台風で1日延期となりましたが、その影響を感じない海の青さで透き通った綺麗さ感動しました。
延期の際もスタッフさんの対応が良かったです。
ウミガメは少なくとも5〜6匹はいたと思います。
あんなに接近できると思ってなく信じられませんでした。
ツアー中はガイドさんが先導してくださり、豆知識を教えていただきました。
ツアーについては、必要な道具一式がプラン内に組み込まれていて水着だけの手ぶらで参加できそうです。
水中を撮りたくカメラを持って行ったのですが、その必要がないくらいに、高性能なカメラで100枚程撮ってくださり、すぐにスマホに送信していただきました。
どれも気に入った写真ばかりで大満足です。
ツアー時間も9:00〜11:00までですが、十分過ぎるくらい満喫できるかと思います。
4泊5日の最終日に感動的な体験ができ、運営スタッフの皆さまに感謝でいっぱいです。

Due to bad weather, we received notice the day before about a change in the snorkeling location. It was great to have the option to change or cancel for free. In some cases with these types of tours, unscrupulous operators might take you to the location only to declare that you can't go out to sea and offer no refund, so I felt reassured about that.
We snorkeled in the morning. The new location was said to be an area where sea turtles often come, and while I was excited to go out, unfortunately, we didn't see any. However, the guide was very kind, which made me feel safe going out to sea. In the afternoon, we moved to the Miyara River for SUP. I thoroughly enjoyed the great nature of Yaeyama and was impressed throughout.
The activities themselves were very fulfilling, but the only downside was being left in the city for lunch right after getting out of the water. I would have appreciated either a chance to take a shower or at least some prior notice.
天候不良で前日にシュノーケル場変更の連絡あり。
変更もしくは無料キャンセルの選択肢を頂けたことがよかった。
この手のツアーでは悪質業者の場合、現地まで連れて行き海には出れませんと宣言され返金もないことがあるのでそこの心配はないと思います。
午前中にシュノーケルを実施
変更した場所はウミガメがよく来る海域とのこと、期待を膨らませ海に出るも残念ながら見ることはできず。ただとても優しいガイドさんで安心して沖に出れました。
午後には宮良川に移動しSUP。八重山の大自然を満喫。終始圧巻されていました。
アクティビティ自体はとても充実できるものでしたが、唯一のマイナスポイントとしては海に入った後そのまま昼休憩で街中に放置されたことです。
シャワー浴びさせていただくか、せめて事前に連絡が欲しかった。

On Taketomi Island, I was taken to a beach where I could find star sand. The bus driver showed me that it’s easier to find near the rocky areas. While leisurely beachcombing, I was able to find star sand and sea glass. During the water buffalo cart tour, a chatty guide introduced me to the charms of Taketomi Island and played Okinawan folk songs on the shamisen while singing along.
When crossing to Yubu Island on the water buffalo cart, we moved over the sea. Since it was low tide, there wasn't much water, but crossing over the water provided a different kind of enjoyment compared to Taketomi Island. At high tide, the water reportedly comes up above your feet. The lunch bento, Matsukado bento, was great as it allowed me to enjoy a little bit of Okinawan cuisine. On the Iriomote Island cruise, we were able to get very close to the mangroves and see various types of mangroves. Everyone provided attentive guidance, and it was a very memorable trip. Thank you very much.
竹富島では、星の砂を見つけることが出来るビーチに連れて行ってもらいました。バスの運転手さんが、岩場の近くが見つかりやすいよ〜と実際に見せていただきました。ゆったりとビーチコーミングをしながら、星の砂やシーグラスを見つけることができました。水牛車観光では、おしゃべり上手なガイドさんに竹富島の魅力を紹介してもらったり三味線に合わせて沖縄の民謡を三味線で弾き語りしてもらいました。
由布島に渡る際の水牛車は、海の上をわたりながら移動しました、干潮でしたので、あまり水はなかったですが、水の上をわたるので竹富島とは違う楽しみを感じられました。満潮は、足元より上まで水がくるそうです。お昼の松花堂弁当は、少しずつ沖縄のものが楽しめてよかったです。西表島のクルーズでは、マングローブのすぐ近くまで行くことができ、さまざまな種類のマングローブを見ることができました。どの方々も丁寧なガイドをして頂き。とても思い出に残る旅が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

It was an early departure in the morning, but it was nothing to worry about if it meant escaping the heat a little. We had a car pick us up to the hotel, and even after arriving at the island terminal, we were well guided to the tour desk, allowing us to participate without any anxiety, even as first-timers.
At the tour desk, there was a detailed explanation during check-in, and I became even more excited about the island tour that was about to begin.
Since it was a tour that included lunch, I made sure to buy some drinks and off we went to the ferry terminal!
We boarded the ferry, and finally, the Iriomote Island tour was about to start. As the ferry departed, the staff from the tour company waved goodbye with a big smile, saying "Have a great time!" which made me feel really warm inside.
After about 45 minutes, we arrived at Ohara Port. I thought I would rush to the restroom, but it turned out to be fine. "Everyone, please use the restroom first before proceeding to the cruise ship boarding area," was the announcement. Then we boarded the cruise ship and set off for the Nakama River Mangrove Cruise.
It was just the right time for the tide to go out, and the announcement said, "The scenery will change on the way back, so please pay attention," so I made sure to take pictures of the scenery on the way. Birds that weren't visible at first started to appear as the tide receded, and the roots of the mangroves gradually became visible.
There were people observing from canoes and others fishing from canoes, waving at each other in a friendly manner. This is also the beauty of travel.
The mangroves continued deep into the interior, and as the tide went out, it felt like they were about to walk towards us, creating a mysterious sight.
After the mangroves, we took a sightseeing bus from the pier to the water buffalo cart boarding area. On the water buffalo cart, we listened to the sanshin and songs while receiving explanations about the water buffalo, and we arrived at Yubu Island. Thank you, Yuto the water buffalo!
We enjoyed a lunch bento at the subtropical botanical garden on Yubu Island and leisurely explored the garden. It was a bit disappointing that the mangrove promenade was under repair and inaccessible.
On the way back, we took the same route, riding the water buffalo cart and then the sightseeing bus back to Ohara Port, boarded the ferry, and headed to Ishigaki Island. Although it was a quick tour, it was a delightful experience that I could enjoy thoroughly.
朝が早い出発でしたが、少しでも暑さをしのげると思えばなんてことないです。
ホテルまで車でお迎えがありましたし、離島ターミナルへ着いてからもツアーデスクまで、しっかり案内してもらえて初めてでも何の不安もなく参加できました。
ツアーデスクでの受付でも詳細な説明があり、今から始まる離島ツアーが益々楽しみになりました。
昼食付きのツアーでしたので、とりあえず飲み物だけをしっかり買っていざ!フェリー乗り場へ
フェリーに乗り込みいよいよ西表島ツアー出発です。フェリーが出港するとツアー会社の方の大きな✋笑が「行ってらっしゃ〜い」と見送ってくれて、とてもホッコリ☺️しました。
45分ほどで大原港到着
トイレに駆け込もうと思ってたら、いやいや大丈夫でした
「皆さ〜ん、先ずトイレを済ませてからクルーズ船乗り場にお進み下さい」のご案内
そして、クルーズ船に乗り込み「仲間川マングローブクルーズ」へ出発です。
ちょうど潮が引いてくる時間帯で「行きと帰りの景色が変わりますのでしっかり見ててください」のアナウンスでスマホでしっかり行きの景色を撮りました。
初めはいなかった鳥たちが潮が引いてくると、アチコチから出てきて…
初めは見えてなかったマングローブの根もだんだんと現れてきて…✨
カヌーで見学されてる方やカヌーで釣りをしながらの方もいて、お互いに手を振り合う✋和やかさ
これもまた、旅の良さですね。
マングローブは延々と奥深くまで続いていて潮が引いてくると今にもこっちに歩いて来そうな感じで不思議な光景でした。
マングローブの後は、桟橋から観光バスで水牛車乗り場へ
水牛車では三線と歌をききながら水牛の説明もしていただいて由布島到着
水牛のユウト君ありがとう
亜熱帯植物園の由布島で昼食のお弁当を頂き、のんびり植物園を見学
マングローブ遊歩道が修理中で通れなかったのがちょっと残念でした。
帰りは同じコースで水牛車に乗り観光バスで大原港へ、フェリーに乗って石垣島へ
早回りでしたがサクッと堪能できるツアーでした

I was liberated from the COVID-19 pandemic and traveled at the end of September. The heat had eased somewhat, and with the summer vacation over, it wasn't particularly crowded, allowing for a relaxed experience.
First, I was picked up at the hotel. From there, we went to the island terminal, boarded a ferry, and headed to Iriomote Island. After that, we took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Each part of the journey went smoothly, with restroom breaks and plenty of time for shopping and sightseeing, which was well-planned.
The ferry ride to Iriomote Island took 45 minutes. I didn't feel any rocking of the boat, so I could travel comfortably. There were also barrier-free seats, and many elderly guests were on board. The sea water was clear and blue, and the scenery visible from the boat was wonderful.
We transferred to a mangrove sightseeing boat in Iriomote Island and headed upstream. As we approached low tide, we could see some sandy areas. At photo spots, the boat slowed down, allowing many guests to take pictures with their cameras.
During the mangrove tour, the guide was very knowledgeable about mangroves, which was very educational. Although it was low tide, we were able to navigate upstream to a viewpoint. The differences in plants as we transitioned from seawater to freshwater, such as those that store salt in their leaves, turn yellow, and shed their leaves to expel salt, were fascinating. I was also intrigued by stories about the pineapple-like plants, white herons, and the Iriomote wildcat. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see the Iriomote wildcat, a special natural monument, as they are nocturnal.
I learned that the red bottles hanging in certain areas are signs of fishermen setting crab traps, and that there is a hunting season for boars that only authorized individuals can participate in. This made me feel the cycle of life and the preciousness of nature.
The guide was so knowledgeable that he spoke for nearly an hour during the mangrove tour, which impressed me. It was a very good experience.
On Yubu Island, there were many large water buffalo, each with a name. When I looked closely at their faces, they were very cute and charming. There were also sibling water buffalo, and their eye contact seemed to show emotions, which was heartwarming. My perspective on water buffalo changed.
There was an area where we could interact with the water buffalo and take photos with them. The water buffalo cart ride included shamisen performances, singing, and the guide's stories. Even in a short time, it was packed with content, and the guide answered all our questions thoroughly, making for a friendly and enjoyable experience. The guides on this tour were very knowledgeable.
On Yubu Island, I had a bento box that was light in flavor and very delicious. The menu featured Okinawan specialties, including brown sugar yokan, miso soup with seaweed, and champuru, all made with local ingredients.
Yubu Island also has a botanical garden and the ruins of a junior high school. At the school ruins, I caught a glimpse of the history where residents were forced to relocate due to flooding from a storm surge.
The beach seemed to be in a natural state without much development, but I could feel the vastness of the sea, which brought me peace. There was a café near the beach where I could enjoy coffee and gelato, but I wished there had been an air-conditioned indoor space.
After the Yubu Island tour, we returned to Iriomote Island. During our bus ride on the island, the bus guide's stories were very interesting and enjoyable. Especially notable was the fact that there is only a junior high school on Iriomote Island, so children leave home to go to Ishigaki Island for high school, and the small number of elementary school students was a topic that could only be learned from someone living there.
The bus guide's personal story, "I haven't left Okinawa for 40 years, so I've never seen snow. Does it really exist?" was ver
コロナ禍より解放され、9月末の旅行でした。
暑さも多少和らぎ、夏休み後もあり、特別混雑はなく、のんびりと過ごす事ができました。
まず、ホテルまでお迎えにきて頂きました。
そこから、離島ターミナルまで行き、船に乗り、西表島へ行きました。西表島から水牛車に乗り、由布島に行きました。
どの工程も、スムーズに進み、トイレ休憩もあり、買い物、見学の時間もたっぷりあり、よく練られていました。
西表島までフェリーで45分。船の揺れも感じず、安心して移動する事ができました。
バリアフリーの席もあり、ご老人のお客さんも多数いらっしゃいました。海の水が透き通って青々としていて、船の中から見える景色も素晴らしかったです。
西表島からマングローブ遊覧船に乗り換え、上流に向かい船を走らせます。
徐々に干潮を迎え、砂地が見えてきた部分もありました。
フォトスポットでは、船を止まらせてくれたりゆっくり進むので、多くのお客さんがカメラをかまえて写真撮影を楽しまれていました。
マングローブ遊覧では、ガイドさんがマングローブの知識が豊富で、とても勉強になりました。干潮ではありましたが、普段はあまり行けない上流まで、船を進ませて、展望台近くまで行ける事が出来ました。海の海水から、上流の淡水に入るころの植物の違い、塩分を葉に蓄え、黄色の葉になり、落葉して、塩分を排出する植物など、西表島ならではの珍しい植物の話は、とても興味深く、聞き入ってしまいました、また、パイナップルもどきの植物やしらさぎ等の鳥、イリオモテヤマネコの話等、大変面白く聞かせてもらいました。特別天然記念物、イリオモテヤマネコは夜行性なので、昼のツアーでは見る事が出来なかったのが少し寂しかったですが。
また、赤いペットボトルがぶらさがっているところは漁師さんがカニをしかけているサインであること、西表島にしかいないイノシシを許可された人のみで狩猟するシーズンがあることなどの話を聞いた際は、豊かな自然の中にある生命の循環・尊さのようなものを感じました。
マングローブ遊覧では、ガイドさんがあまりに詳しいし、遊覧1時間近く、ずっと話されていて、関心しました。とても良い経験をする事ができました。
由布島では、大きな水牛が沢山いて、どの水牛にも名前がついていて、よくお顔を見ると、とても可愛い、愛らしい顔をしていました。水牛の兄弟もいて、水牛同士のアイコンタクトで、止まったり、進んだり、水牛にも感情、心があるみたいで、微笑ましく思いました。水牛に対する考え方がかわりました。
1箇所では、水牛と触れ合ったり一緒に写真を撮る事ができるエリアがありました。
水牛車では、三味線の演奏、歌もあり、ガイドさんのお話しもあり、短い時間、山盛りの内容で、質問をすると、きちんと答えてくれますし、とても親しみを持てるガイドさんで、楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
このツアーのガイドさん方は、大変勉強家でした。
由布島では、幕内弁当を食べましたが、味があっさりしていて、とても美味しくいただきました。
黒糖ようかんやアーサが入った味噌汁、チャンプルなど沖縄名物や沖縄ならではの食材をふんだんに使用したメニューでした。
植物園、小中学跡地等が由布島にはありました。
小中学校跡地では、かつて高潮が原因で水没し、住民が移住をよぎなくされたという歴史を垣間見ることができました。
ビーチはあまり整備がされていない自然の状態のように思えましたが、広大な海を感じる事が出来、心が穏やかになりました。ビーチのそばにはカフェがあり、コーヒー・ジェラートなど楽しむ事が出来ましたが、エアコンが効いた室内があれば良かったと思いました。
由布島ツアーが終わると、西表島に戻ります。
西表島内の移動時には、バスに乗りますが、バスガイドさんのお話もとても興味深く楽しかったです。特に、西表島では、中学校までしかないので、高校生になると子どもたちは親元を離れて石垣島に行くことや、小学校の在校生の少なさなど、現地に住んでいる方からしか聞く事が出来ないような話が興味深かったです。
「40年間沖縄から出ていないので、雪を見た事がありません。あれって本当に存在するんですかね。」というバスガイドさんご自身のエピソードも大変印象的でした。
帰りは離島ターミナルから、ホテルまでの送迎もついていましたが、私達は離島ターミナルから、ゆらていく市場で地元の果物を購入して帰宅しました。そのあたりは、希望を出せば自由に選択できました。
ツアー全体を通して、知識豊富で話上手なベテランガイドさんによる説明があり、大変充実度の高い内容でした。
また、豊かな自然と尊い生命を感じる事が出来、日々身を置いている喧騒な都会の煩わしさから解放されたように感じます。

We had a guide named Yuka who took care of us. She was attentive to our health and equipment, and even though we hadn't been in the ocean for over ten years and felt a bit anxious, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. It was also appreciated that she waited for participants who were late or had drifted away before providing information to everyone.
Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but we were able to see clownfish and various other fish and creatures, which was satisfying enough.
During the SUP, I fell into the sea a few times, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to stand up, so I think even those like me who aren't very good with core strength can enjoy it.
The meeting point was a bit hard to understand. I was informed about the meeting location the day before, but I couldn't answer the phone due to travel, so I ended up receiving a text message. I appreciated the text message, but the parking area at the meeting point was large, and there were other tour groups as well, so I would have liked to have some kind of landmark provided. I think it would be good for future participants to confirm in advance via phone or text message.
ユカさんというガイドさんに付いていただきました。体調や器具のことなど色々気にしてくださり、10年以上海に入ったことなどなく、少し不安だった私たちでも安心して楽しむことができました。また見どころでは遅れたり離れた参加者でもきちんと待ってから全員に教えてくれたのでありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングでは残念ながらウミガメに遭遇はできませんでしたが、クマノミやその他様々な魚や生き物を見ることができたので十分満足できました。
SUPでは私は何度か海に落ちましたが、慣れれば立つこともできたので、体幹の良くない私のような方でも楽しむことができると思います。
集合については少しだけわかりにくかったです。集合場所は前日のご連絡とのことでしたが、前日は移動で電話に出ることができず、ショートメールでの連絡となってしまいました。ショートメールで連絡いただけただけでもありがたいのですが、集合場所の駐車場は広く、また他のツアーの方々もいらっしゃったので、目印のようなものも併せて教えていただきたかったです。今後参加される方は、電話やショートメールで事前に確認されると良いかと思います。

シュノーケリングを先にしましたが、海に入ってすぐに凄く間近でウミガメが見ることができて、見ていて、とても可愛かったです。また海中に日があたると魚がキラキラ輝いて見えて、まるで別世界で綺麗でした。サップは初めての体験でしたが担当者も一つ一つ、丁寧に説明して下さり、写真もたくさん撮って下さったので、問題なく立つことが出来たし、貴重な体験ができて、大変満足しています。宮古島も気に入ったので、また是非利用したいと思っています。
Thank you for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour!!
It was great to see sea turtles up close!!
I am honored to have captured memorable photos for you!!
Please feel free to contact us again when you visit Miyako Island (*^^*)

I heard that the sea turtle encounter rate was 99%, but I was able to see about 120% of the sea turtles! They didn't escape at all, and I had plenty of time to take photos up close, which made me very satisfied! The two male guides were also very friendly and provided detailed information about the sea and the terrain! Even after the tour ended, they shared tourist spots and delicious restaurants via LINE, and I was able to receive photos immediately on my iPhone! This is a tour I highly recommend!
On the other hand, I felt that the parking fee of 2000 yen was a bit expensive. I would understand if the facilities had nice showers and hair dryers, but...
ウミガメ遭遇率99%と聞いていましたが、120%くらいのウミガメを見ることができました!全く逃げることなく、近くで写真を撮る時間も多く大満足です!ガイドの男性おふたりも、非常に愛想良く、海や地形のことを詳しく紹介してくださりました!ツアー終了後もLINEで観光地や美味しい飲食店を教えてくださり、写真もすぐiPhoneで受け取り可能でした!非常にお勧めできるツアーです!
一方で、駐車場が2000円と割高に感じました。綺麗なシャワーやドライヤーを完備している施設であれば納得なのですが。。

In the morning, I participated in snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I joined a SUP session. The weather was nice, and it seemed like the sea was very clear, which made for wonderful memories.
Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, there were plenty of clownfish, and I was able to take photos with them.
Since I was a beginner at SUP, I was a bit anxious about whether I could do it well, but I was able to progress slowly and felt reassured while trying. I was happy to be able to paddle while standing.
Hajime and Miyu were in charge of our activities. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!
午前中にシュノーケリング、午後にSUPに参加しました。天気が良く、海の透明度も高い日だったようで、とても良い思い出ができました^ ^
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメに会うことはできませんでしたが、カクレクマノミが沢山いて一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
SUPは、初心者だったので上手くできるか不安もありましたが、ゆっくり進めていただけて安心して挑戦できました。立って漕ぐことが出来て嬉しかったです。
はじめさんとみゆさんに担当していただきました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました!

The weather was nice, and I was able to see many turtles. The guide was also very thorough in their explanations, which was great. It seems possible to see turtles on your own in this sea, but since you have to swim quite far, having a guide makes it safer and more reassuring.
天気も良く、カメもたくさん見れました。
ガイドの方も説明も丁寧で良かったです。
この海では自力でもカメを見に行けそうですが、遠くまで泳いでいくのでガイドがいたほうが安心安全に終えることができます。

I was able to see more than four sea turtles! I also saw clownfish. On the way there, I swam over the sand, and on the way back, I swam over the coral, spending about an hour and a half in the sea. The guide was kind and it was a lot of fun!
ウミガメ4匹以上見れました! クマノミも見ました。
行きは砂の上を、帰りは珊瑚の上を泳いで帰り、約1時間半海に居ました。
ガイドさんも親切で楽しかったです!

Sadly, the ocean condition didn't allow us to do snorkeling in the famous blue cave. They called us in the morning to let us know if the condition was okay or not. They let us choose either snorkeling in another spot or just do kayaking in the mangrove area. Since we had done scuba diving in the alternative spot previously, we decided to do only kayaking.
It was a very relaxing and fun kayaking tour along the mangroves! We could choose either kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP). My friend chose SUP instead. The instructor had good knowledge about nature (of course including mangroves) and he taught us details all along. I appreciate that he took pictures of us during the tour and gave them (more than 100 pics!) to us.
Highly recommend!

On September 22, 2023, I visited Iriomote Island and Yufu Island. The itinerary and time allocation were just right, making it a very satisfying tour.
First, we boarded the ship and set sail smoothly without any delays. The weather was nice, so we could see the remote islands from the boat, and since there was a commentary on board, we arrived at Iriomote Island in no time while enjoying the view outside. After arriving, we smoothly transitioned from the Nakama River cruise boat to a bus, then to Yufu Island by water buffalo, followed by lunch, and finally back to Iriomote Island by water buffalo before returning to port.
Overall, the tour allowed us to act with ease and enjoy sightseeing without feeling rushed. The guides at each location provided clear and slow explanations, so I have nothing to complain about. It was a perfect score. It became a wonderful memory, and I will use this service again on my next trip.
2023年9月22日に西表島、由布島へ行ってきました。行程、時間配分ともにちょうど良く、大変満足出来るツアーになりました。
まず乗船から出港ですが、待たされる事もなくスムーズな出だし。天気が良かった為、船の中から離島が見え、説明も船内放送されていたので、外を眺めていたらあっという間に西表島に到着。
到着後は流れるように仲間川クルーズ船→バス移動→水牛で由布島→昼食→水牛で西表島→帰港となりました。
全体を通して、せかせかせずに余裕を持ちながら行動ができ、観光を十分に楽しめるツアーでした。
各所案内していた頂いた方々も、分かりやすくゆっくりと案内や説明をして下さったので、何も言う事はありません。100点です。
最高の思い出になりました。次回観光の際も利用します。

I was happy to feel the great nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you very much. I would love to join the tour again and fully enjoy Iriomote Island!

They also provided advice on seasickness and motion sickness from snorkeling, and they subtly checked on my condition, which made me feel very reassured about participating. The sea was very calm and beautiful, so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries.
They recommended some great restaurants and bento shops, and their explanations were clear and thorough. After our lunch break, I chatted with other participants about what we had eaten, creating a very friendly atmosphere in the group.
For the canoe or SUP and mangrove tour experience in the afternoon, I think it’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. The final activity was an exceptionally pleasant experience. Since there was also a trekking element, I was able to connect with the nature of Iriomote Island, and thanks to our knowledgeable guide, I really grew to love the island.
The guides from pipi were mostly young, but I felt that each one of them had a pleasant demeanor and was very trustworthy.
Thank you to Yuuma and everyone at pipi for a wonderful time.
They also took plenty of photos of each participant group during the tour (the camera angles were fantastic), allowing us to focus on having fun.
*For those going to the mangroves, it might be better to avoid sleeveless tops and having insect repellent spray could be helpful. I got bitten by mosquitoes ten times on one arm alone!
船酔いやシュノーケルの波酔いの相談も受けてくれて、さり気なく体調を気にかけて頂き、とても安心して参加できました。
とても穏やかで綺麗な海だったので、心配もどこ吹く風で楽しく過ごせました。
おすすめの定食屋さんやお弁当屋さんも教えてくださり、わかりやすく丁寧で。お昼休憩の後にグループが一緒になった参加者の方と、何を食べたかの話をしたりと、とても和やかな雰囲気のグループとなりました。
午後からのカヌーorSUP、マングローブツアー体験は是非濡れても良い格好で参加されると良いと思います。
最後のお楽しみは格別に気持ちの良い体験となります◎
トレッキングの要素も含まれていたので、西表島の自然に触れ合うことができ、知識の豊富なガイドさんのおかげで島のことがとっても好きになりました。
pipiさんのガイドの方は若い方が多く見られましたが、どの人も気持ちの良い雰囲気でしっかりと信頼のおける方達だと感じました。
担当のユウマさんはじめ、pipiの皆様。楽しい時間をありがとうございます。
ツアー中の写真も各参加グループごとにたくさん撮ってくれるので(カメラアングルも素晴らしい)集中して遊べます♪
※マングローブに行く方は、ノースリーブは控えて、虫除けスプレーがあると良いかもしれません。片腕だけで10ヶ所しっかりと蚊に食われました笑

I was a bit worried about joining the local tour alone and feeling out of place, but I had such a fun time that it didn't matter at all!
Both the bus guide and the lady from the mangrove tour were great at chatting, and I never got bored listening to them.
There were water buffalo and live music, which was very soothing, and I also enjoyed taking commemorative photos with the water buffalo!
初めて現地ツアー参加(1人だし浮くかな?)と思っていましたが気にならないぐらい楽しいひと時を過ごせました!
バスの添乗員さん、マングローブツアーのお姉さん共にお喋りが上手で聞いていて飽きませんでした。
水牛も弾き語りもあって癒されたし水牛と記念撮影もできて楽しかったです!

We participated as a family of three. It was our first time in Miyako Island, and this sea turtle snorkeling experience became our best memory. The responses to our questions before the tour were very thorough, which made us feel at ease to join. The guide was also very kind and cheerful, and we were able to see 4 to 5 sea turtles! The photos sent to us after the tour were incredibly beautiful, including close-up shots of the sea turtles and pictures of Nemo, in addition to our family photos. I believe Miyako Island is a place worth visiting only if you go into the sea. I definitely want to participate in this tour again the next time I visit! 😊
家族3人で参加しました。宮古島は初めてだったのですがこのウミガメシュノーケリングが1番の思い出になりましたツアー前の質問にも丁寧にご回答いただき安心して参加することが出来ました。
またガイドの方もとても親切で明るく、ウミガメも4〜5匹見ることが出来ました!
ツアー後に送って下さった写真もすごく綺麗で、家族写真以外にもウミガメの至近距離写真やニモの写真などもありました。
宮古島は海に入ってこそ行く価値のある場所だと思います。また次に訪れる時も必ずこちらのツアーに参加したいと思います(^^)
