Okinawa
Kawahirawan is shallower than I expected, so even if you fall off the SUP, you won't drown! We challenged ourselves with a tandem ride and fell off several times, but it was fine!! I was worried about the blue cave since my companion isn't a strong swimmer, but we were able to proceed slowly and safely reached our destination. In the end, we took a little break at a slightly cold waterfall to rinse off the seawater before the tour ended. The fruit juice shop we recommended after was delicious!
川平湾は思ったより浅いのでSUPが万が一転倒しても溺れることはないです!私たちは二人乗りで挑戦して何度も落ちましたが、大丈夫でした!!泳ぎが苦手な彼が心配だった青の洞窟も、ゆっくり進んでいただけたので目的地まで無事いけました。最後は海水を落とすために少し冷たい滝のところでプカプカ休憩してツアーが終わりました。終わった後のオススメの果物ジュース屋美味しかった〜!
The day before, the wind was strong, and I was worried, but thanks to Ishigaki Island's unpredictable weather, it was cloudy on the day of the trip, yet the wind was calm.
I learned that the Blue Cave is popular, and while searching for it, I found that Pipi was the most popular shop, so I chose this plan.
While I was in the Blue Cave, the sun peeked out for a moment, and it left a strong impression on me how beautiful the cave became. I also got to try stand-up paddleboarding in the sea, which was fun as I could explore various places on my own.
前日まで風がつよくて、心配しましたが石垣島の天気の変わりやすさに助けられて当日は曇ってはいましたが風は穏やかでした。
青の洞窟が人気だと知って探していたらピピさんが一番人気のショップだったのでこちらのプランにしました。
青の洞窟にいるときに少しだけ太陽が見えて、洞窟の中がきれいになったのが印象に残りました。
海でサップもできて自分で色んな所に行けて面白かったです。
I participated in the Blue Cave, and my friend wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The weather was great at the Blue Cave, and the swimming area inside the cave was very beautiful. It was my friend's first time snorkeling, and we were able to see a large ray, which made our swimming experience enjoyable. The breeze during the SUP was refreshing, and the sea was beautiful, so we were happy that our guide took many photos of us.
私は青の洞窟、友人はSUPに乗りたくて参加しました。
青の洞窟は天気が良くて、洞窟の中にある泳げる場所がとてもきれいでした。
友人はシュノーケル初めてでしたが、大きなエイにも会えて2人で楽しんで泳げました。
サップは風が気持ちよくて、海もきれいだったのでガイドさんが私達の写真をたくさん撮ってくれて嬉しかったです。
I visited the Blue Cave a few years ago, but the weather wasn't very good at that time, so I thought I would like to come back someday. Honestly, I thought it wouldn't be much different from before, but when the sun came out, the blue of the sea was incredibly beautiful, so I'm glad I came. I also got to see some cute clownfish. Due to the unpredictable weather, I couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but the alternative mangrove canoeing was amazing!
青の洞窟は数年前に行ったのですが、そのときはあまり天気が良くなくいつかまた来たいと思い参加しました。
正直、以前と大して変わらないだろうと思っていましたが晴れると海の青さが段違いに良くなったので来てよかったです。
かわいいクマノミにも会えました。
天候不順で川平湾は行けなかったですが、代替のマングローブカヌーも最&高でした!
I wanted to come with a friend, but our schedules didn't match, so I participated alone. I was looking forward to seeing clownfish in the Blue Cave. When I got to the beach, the blue of the sea and the white of the sand exceeded my expectations and moved me. It's been a few years since I last went snorkeling, so I was helped by the guide's kind explanations. I recommend this for those who want to enjoy a day at a great value.
友達と来たかったんですが、予定が合わなくて一人で参加しました。
青の洞窟でクマノミを見るのが楽しみで参加しました。
砂浜に出ると海の青さと砂浜の白さが期待以上で感動しました。
シュノーケルは数年前にやって以来なのでガイドさんの親切な説明に助けられました。
お得に1日遊びたい方にオススメです。
I ordered a steak separately, but I interpreted it as being different from the full course, so I felt it was lacking. I also thought the boat would go out further into the ocean and make a round trip, so it felt a bit expensive.
ステーキを別途頼みましたが、フルコースとは別を解釈してたので物足りな勝った、船ももっと大海まででて周回すると思ってた、少し高い気がします。
I participated with my elementary school-aged child. I wanted to expose my indoor child to nature, so I joined this tour. To be honest, I was worried about whether they would enjoy it, but they had a great time. The snorkeling in the Blue Cave was especially exciting because we could see the fish up close, and my child was thrilled! I hope this encourages them to take on more challenges in the future.
まだ小学生の子供と参加しました。普段からインドアなうちの子を自然に触れさせてみたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
正直楽しんでくれるか不安だったのですが、すごく楽しんでくれました。
特に青の洞窟でのシュノーケルは魚がすごく近くで見れたので、子供も大興奮でした!
これを機にどんどんいろんなことにチャレンジして欲しいです。
I came to Ishigaki Island to try stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, and I was blessed with great weather—it was truly fun! I could see the seabed clearly, and the guide patiently taught me, a beginner in paddleboarding. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and it was a view I could watch forever! I will definitely come back to Ishigaki Island!
川平湾でのサップボードをしたくて石垣島にきたのですが、天気にも恵まれ本当に楽しかったです!!
海底が透けて見えましたし、ガイドの方がサップ初心者の私に丁寧に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルでは色鮮やかな魚がたくさんいて、ずっと見てられる景色でした!!
また石垣島に遊びにきます!
I was really anxious because I don't have good athletic skills, but by the end, I was able to stand up! ^_^ Thanks to the guide's instruction. Thank you very much. I immediately recommended it to my friends. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to it. And thank you, Takagi!
運動神経が全然良くないので不安だったのですが、最後には立てるようになりました^_^
ガイドさんの指導のおかげです。
ありがとうございました。
友達にも早速オススメしました。
また機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします。
そしてタカギさんありがとう!
Since I got tired of island hopping, I decided to participate in an activity. I had always wanted to try kayaking, so I joined this plan that offers kayaking in Kabira Bay.
Kayaking in Kabira Bay was wonderful, but I realized how much fun snorkeling is! I found myself wanting to swim in various places and I might completely get hooked on it!
島巡りも飽きたので、アクティビティに参加することにしました。カヤックを一度やりたかったので、川平湾でカヤックできるこのプランに参加しました。
川平湾でのカヤックも素晴らしかったのですが、シュノーケリングの楽しさに気づいてしまいましたw
色んな場所で泳ぎたくなってしまい完全にハマりそうですw
I had a great time that weekend morning. Not knowing what to expect I found the dive shop was casual and friendly and we soon went out to the dock for the boat ride. The boat was packed with divers, while I was going to snorkel with a few others. They have many guides, so there was no problem.
The blue cave is very nice. When you get close to it, the boat stops, you plop in the water and swim towards the cave following the floating ring towed by the guide. The cave and environs are pretty busy with divers, and it's a good thing for snorkelers that they all go underwater! Good thing for them too that the volume of the ocean can easily handle their larger numbers compared to the snorkelers on the surface. Saw many coral, and fish, and feeding the fish is fun. Those little things are pretty deft - they will eat their bread pieces from your hand but you can't catch them! The cave is nice and blue in spots, as promised, and the water is very clear. Even though it rained towards the end and on the way back, it doesn't change the cave experience. My guide was very nice and she took 79 pictures with her underwater camera which I received on a CD / DVD. They know all the right spots and poses to shoot for!
My advice is to park in the back in the middle spots (4, 5, 6). Wear your own sandals to the boat - you'll be more comfortable. Arrive in your swimsuit and bring a change of clothes and a towel. That's it, and you'll have a lot of fun!
Thank you very much for your review!
This is Mayu、who was in charge of the tour on tha day.
If you come to Okinawa again,please visit Boukenjima.
tank you very much!!
Thank you very much for accommodating my last-minute reservation. I was really looking forward to the activities at Kabira Bay and snorkeling in the Blue Cave when I came to Ishigaki Island. I was very satisfied to be able to do both. The weather was great, and I was able to take a lot of photos, which was really nice. For anyone coming to Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend it!
ギリギリの予約にも関わらず、対応して下さって本当にありがとうございます。
石垣島に来たらやってみたかった川平湾でのアクティビティと青の洞窟シュノーケル。
両方できてとても満足です。
天気も良く、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて本当良かったです。
石垣島に来る方、是非オススメです!
The weather was very nice, and both the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling were fantastic. We were able to take a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much to the man who guided us for the day.
P.S. The mango shop you recommended was also amazing.
天気もとても良く、サップもシュノーケルも最高でした。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、とても良い思ひ出になりました。
1日ガイドして下さった男性の方、本当にありがとうございました。
p.s.おススメしていただいたマンゴーのお店も最高でした。
I was glad to hear the guide's fun stories and information about Okinawa! It was great to learn about things that I might have missed just by researching on my own!
ガイドさんの楽しいお話や沖縄についての話が聞けて良かったです!
調べるだけでは見逃してしまうところも知れて良かったです!
Dear Hiroko,
Thank you for using our tour service. We also appreciate your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you were satisfied on the day of your experience. We look forward to your next opportunity to use our tours.
Thank you.
The Staff at Cerulean Blue
ヒロコ様
この度は弊社ツアーをご利用いただき有難うございました。
また、体験談のご投稿有難うございます。
当日はご満足いただけたようで大変嬉しく思います。
またぜひ機会がございましたら、弊社ツアーのご利用お待ちしております。
有難うございます。
セルリアンブルー スタッフ一同
This was my second time participating. Given that it was right after a typhoon, I was worried about the unstable weather, but I was glad we could safely enter the Blue Cave. My husband, my fourth-grade niece, and I had a private tour with a super cool guide. We were lucky in that regard, but he also called my niece by name throughout the tour and took dozens of photos, showing not only a friendly demeanor but also an incredibly high level of hospitality. During snorkeling, he accurately answered our little questions, allowing the adults to enjoy it as well. My niece seemed to really like Shoma, the guide. I was also happy to see the boss who helped us last time. Next time, I plan to bring my younger niece, who is currently not very comfortable in the water, so I appreciate your support.
2回目の参加です。
台風直後ということもあり不安定な天気で心配でしたが、青の洞窟にも無事に入ることができてよかったです。
夫と小4の姪っ子と3人で超カッコいいガイドのお兄さんを貸し切りでした。そんなラッキーもありましたが、終始姪っ子を名前で呼んでくれたり、何十枚も写真を撮ってくれるなど、気さくなだけじゃなく非常に高いホスピタリティーを感じました。
シュノーケリングの間、私たちのちょっとした質問にも的確に答えていただくなど、大人も十分楽しめました。
姪っ子もショウマお兄さんのこと、とっても気に入ったようです。
最後に前回お世話になったボスにもお目にかかれて嬉しかったです。
次回は今のところ海が苦手な下の姪も連れて行きますのでよろしくお願いします。
Due to the slightly bad weather, it seems we were the only ones who made a reservation for the BBQ on the terrace. It was unexpectedly a private experience, which felt very luxurious! The staff member who assisted us was friendly and very funny, and we even took a commemorative photo together. When we mentioned that we had some extra time, he kindly guided us to the live show happening on the second floor. They also provided soft drinks on board, and the live show, which featured a solo performance, was wonderful! I would love to use this service again. Thank you, sir! But I'll hide my face because I'm shy, haha.
ちょっとお天気が悪かったため、テラス席でのBBQの予約が私たちしかいなかったそう。
まさかの貸切状態で、大変贅沢でした!
サービスにあたってくださったお兄さんが気さくでとても面白い方で記念に一緒に写真も撮って頂きました٩(๑⃙⃘˙ᵕ˙๑⃙⃘)۶
また、時間が余るねという話をしていたら、2階で行われているライブショーに案内してくださいました。
船内でもソフトドリンクを提供してくださり、またライブショーも弾き語りのようで素敵でした!
また利用したいと思います。
お兄さん、ありがとう!
でも、顔は恥ずかしいから隠しますね笑
Thank you very much for choosing to board with us from among many shops. I will definitely pass your kind words to the staff on board. The entertainer who performed on the ship is a well-known artist whose songs are also used in commercials from Okinawa. If you have the opportunity next time, please consider using the second-floor area where the entertainer performs. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は数あるお店の中からお選び、ご乗船頂き誠にありがとうございました。船内のスタッフに必ずお伝えします。嬉しいお言葉ありがとうございました。船内で演奏していたエンターテイナーの曲は沖縄のCMソングにも使われるなど、有名なエンターテイナーです。もし次の機会がございましたらエンターテイナーの演奏がある、2階のフロアのご利用もご検討下さいませ。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ちしております。
Thank you so much for accommodating our last-minute reservation! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and we saw so many fish we had never seen before! During the tour, I was the most excited and may have caused some trouble, but you always greeted us with a smile! Thank you for your support with the sudden booking!
前日に急遽、予約したのに私たちのわがままに対応して頂いて本当にありがとうございました!
海がとにかく綺麗で見たことのない魚がいっぱい見れました!
ツアー中も1番はしゃいでしまって迷惑掛けっぱなしにも関わらず、常に笑顔で接してくださいました!
急な予約でご対応していただきありがとうございました!
It had been forecasted to rain all day, but I was relieved when it turned into a beautiful sunny day! It was the most beautiful sea I have ever seen! I was a bit anxious about my first snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding experience, but since it was a small group, I was able to enjoy it comfortably with constant support. I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the great nature of Ishigaki Island for the whole day. Thank you very much.
ずっと雨予報だったのですが、当日は快晴に変わりホッとしました!
今まで見てきた中で1番綺麗な海でした!
人生初めてのシュノーケリングにスタンドアップパドル体験で不安でしたが少人数での開催でずっと付き添って頂けたので安心して楽しむ事ができました。
1日のんびり石垣島の大自然を満喫する事ができて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。
整個活動體驗都非常好。工作人員熱心和專業的解說,令到整個活動都成為十分合適一家大小參與的活動。比較意想不到的是,以為只會跟一條海豚玩耍,原來會有兩條輪流。工作人員簡單英語的表達,令不懂日語的旅客都都明白活動要求和指令。場內設施也很齊備,只是更衣室、淋浴間和洗手間比較小,活動過後雲要等一下才可以用,但毛巾供應充足。活動期間也有專業攝影師幫忙影相,活動後也可以讓旅客自由決定購買與否,照片會錢也很相宜。這個活動十分推介為親子遊的活動
We received a message the day before our scheduled visit that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to an approaching typhoon. We were feeling down since we had come all this way, but we switched to snorkeling and participated instead.
The staff who guided us took us to hidden spots along the way, took lots of photos, and even told us about the sea turtle nesting areas, which made our time enjoyable even during the transitions between snorkeling. ☆ They also took many photos during the snorkeling, so we downloaded them and quickly created our own album! Our spirits were lifted! ⤴︎⤴︎
Next time, we definitely want to participate when there are no typhoon effects.
The staff were all very kind and taught us how to use the facilities. Although it was a short time, we had a really fun experience! (The changing room in the facility was spacious, making it easy to change into wetsuits!)
Thank you very much.
私達が申し込みしていた日は台風接近の為予定していた青の洞窟には行く事が出来ないと前日にご連絡いただきました。
せっかく来たのだからと気落ちしていましたがシュノーケリングに切り替え参加させていただきました。
引率してくれたスタッフの方が途中隠れスポットに寄り沢山写真を撮ってくれて海ガメ産卵場所を教えてくれたりとシュノーケリング以外の移動中も楽しく過ごせた事が良かったです☆
シュノーケリング中の写真も沢山撮っていただいていたのでダウンロードし早速自分達のアルバムを作りました‼︎
気落ちしてた気持ちも上がりました⤴︎⤴︎
次回は是非台風の影響の受けない頃に是非参加させていただきたいです
またスタッフの皆さまとても親切に施設の使い方等も教えていただき短い時間ではありましたがとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました‼︎
(施設内の更衣室が広くウェットスーツに着替えをしやすかったです‼︎)
ありがとうございました。
Teruteru Bouzu,
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! I’m Mayu, the tour guide on the day of your visit!
It was unfortunate about the Blue Cave, but please do come back to Okinawa and give it another try if you have the chance!
We will be waiting for you again at Adventure Island when you do!!
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the photos!
It was great to be in charge of your group! We look forward to seeing you again! Thank you!!
てるてる坊主 様
大変嬉しい口コミありがとうございます!当日ツアー担当させて頂きましたマユです!
青の洞窟は残念でしたが是非また沖縄に来る機会があればチャレンジしに来て下さいね!!
その時はまた冒険島でお待ちしてますよ!!
お写真も喜んで頂けて良かったです!
皆さんの担当が出来て良かったです!!またお待ちしてます!ありがとうございました!!
The plan for the sea kayaking and snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave was changed to snorkeling at the beach due to the impact of the typhoon. They were flexible and adapted to the situation at that time.
The briefing from the guide before the tour was easy to understand for the children (ages 8 and 7). Although it was cloudy and quite windy, the waves were minimal, visibility was decent, and there were quite a few fish. The guide made various arrangements, allowing the whole family to enjoy the sea. They also took many underwater photos and later sent them to us via a LINE album. Although the tour content was changed, it still turned out to be a satisfying experience.
シーカヤック&青の洞窟シュノーケルのツアーの予定が、台風の影響でビーチでのシュノーケルに変更。その時の状況によって臨機応変に対応してもらいました。
ガイドさんからのツアー前のブリーフィングは、子供(8歳と7歳)にも分かりやすい説明でした。曇っていて風も強かったのですが、波はほとんどなく透明度もまずまずで魚も結構いました。ガイドさんが色々と工夫してくれて、家族みんなで楽しみながら海を満喫しました。また水中の画像をたくさん撮ってくれて、あとでその画像をLINEのアルバムで送ってくれました。ツアー内容は変更となりましたが、それでも満足したツアーとなりました。
I wanted to visit various islands in a short period, so I decided to enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in one day and signed up for a one-day package tour!
I was impressed by the beautiful, clear sea while snorkeling!
On the stand-up paddleboard, I felt like I was floating on the water!
The guide took many wonderful photos, and it truly became a great memory.
短期間で色んな島に行きたかったので、1日で石垣島の大自然を満喫しようと思い1日パックツアーを申し込みさせていただきました!
シュノーケリングは透き通ったキレイな海に感動しました!
supでは海の上に浮かんでるような気分でした!
ガイドのお兄さんが素敵な写真をいっぱい撮っていただき、本当にいい思い出になりました。
The day we arrived was forecasted to be rainy, but it turned out to be sunny. The ocean was very beautiful, and we were able to see many fish. The tidal pool was also very refreshing. It was my first time experiencing SAP, but the guide was kind and thorough in their explanations, so I was able to stand up right away. It was a wonderful experience to fully enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in just one day.
私たちが来る日が雨予報だったのですが当日晴れてくれました。
海がかなり綺麗でたくさんの魚が見れました。
滝つぼでの潮流しも気持ちかったです。
初めてのSAPでしたが優しく丁寧にガイドの方がレクチャーしてくださったのですぐに立てるようになりました。
石垣島の大自然を1日で満喫でき素晴らしい体験でした。
It was a day where I felt the kindness of the guide. Their language was polite, and I was also surprised by their strong ability to lead other guests. I heard they originally worked at Hoshino Resorts. It seems they were drawn to this place and changed jobs. I highly recommend Arai's guiding.
ガイドの方の優しさを感じる1日でした。言葉遣いも丁寧で尚且つ、他のお客さんを引っ張る力強さにもびっくりしました。元々星野リゾートにいらっしゃったとのこと。。
こちらのピピさんに惹かれて、転職されたらしいです。
新井さんのガイドは本当にオススメです。
They guided me to the bustling streets of Ishigaki Island, and the life jackets and marine boots needed for the marine leisure activities fittingly matched the name "paradise," making everything comfortable and stress-free without having to think about anything.
I especially enjoyed the Blue Cave. I did canoeing and played in the waterfall pool, but snorkeling in the Blue Cave was the most physically demanding, and as a result, I saw a lot of fish and had the most fun.
The Blue Cave is a popular spot, so it can get crowded, but stand-up paddleboarding over the spacious Kabira Bay was the best part, as it was a non-stressful experience without any interruptions.
I felt like I really got my money's worth with all the fun I had! Thank you for making me love Ishigaki Island even more!
石垣島の繁華街に案内してくれたり、楽園という名にふさわしいマリンレジャーに必要なライフジャケット、マリンブーツのサイズもぴったりでとにかく快適に何も考える必要がなくストレスフリーでした。
特に青の洞窟が楽しかったです。
カヌーをしたり滝つぼで遊んだりしましたが、青の洞窟シュノーケルは泳ぐので一番体力を使い、その分魚をたくさん見れて一番楽しかったです。
青の洞窟は人気スポットなので人がわちゃわちゃしてるんですが、サップは広い川平湾の上を誰にも邪魔されないノンストレスなところが最高。
こんなに遊べて得した気分になれました!
大好きな石垣島をもっと好きにしてくれてありがとうございました!
When we arrived, there were many other tour vehicles parked, which heightened our expectations even before we got there! The sea was beautiful, and there were plenty of fish swimming around, making it even more enjoyable than we had anticipated! I didn't want to miss out on Kabira Bay, and it was just as beautiful as I had imagined; I fell in love with it instantly. We had a packed experience, enjoying the view of the sea while swaying with the waves, taking breaks on the board, and standing up to enjoy the amazing location. At the waterfall basin, we swam up to the waterfall and had a refreshing splash of water over our heads, which felt great!
現地につくと他のツアーの車がたくさん停められていて、行く前から期待が高まりました!
海もきれいで魚もたくさん泳いでおり期待以上で楽しかったです!
川平湾は予定から外したくなく、思っていた通りキレイで一瞬で好きになりました。
波に揺られながら海を眺められ、ボードの上で休憩したり立って最高のロケーションを楽しめたりと盛りだくさんの体験ができました。
滝つぼでは滝まで泳いでいって頭から水浴びができて気持ちよかったです!
I participated in the half-day plan. In the morning, they picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to the port. It was farther from the island terminal than I expected, so I was glad I didn't have to go there on my own.
With 14 passengers and 3 crew members, we set off on a boat with a sunshade. They lent us seasickness bands at the start, and thanks to that, even though it was a day with high waves, no one got seasick until the end.
That day, the tide was higher than ever, and the phantom island was only partially visible. Since it was crowded with other tour guests, we decided to snorkel first and then go to the phantom island.
During the transfer, there was a snorkeling lesson, and they provided very detailed instructions.
Finally, we arrived at Ishigaki Coral Lagoon. There were colorful fish and blue and yellow corals! I even saw a clownfish! It was a bit disappointing that the visibility wasn't as high as I had hoped, but I still had a great time.
It was a bit chilly during the transfer after getting in the water, so it would be good to have a cover-up that can get wet.
And finally, we reached the phantom island.
After swimming a bit from the boat, we landed on the island. It was truly a beach-only island, and I was moved! Since the tide had receded more than in the morning and the number of tour guests had decreased, I was glad that RISE adjusted the plan according to the situation. I took plenty of photos for 30 minutes, lay on the sandy beach, and thoroughly enjoyed the phantom island. I didn't have the courage to dress up as a mermaid, but it looked cute when I saw others doing it.
The morning tour ended at 12:00, and they took us back to the hotel afterward.
You can have plenty of fun even with the half-day plan! They provided all the necessary snorkeling gear, tea, and seasickness bands, so all you need to do is wear your swimsuit and bring a towel while waiting at the hotel, which is convenient. The service was very polite, so I highly recommend it. Since the tide was too high this time, I would like to participate again during low tide.
半日プランに参加しました。
朝、時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、港まで送ってくれました。離島ターミナルからは思ったより離れた港だったので自力で行かなくて良かったです。
14名の乗客と3名のクルーが乗り込み、日除け屋根つきの船で出発。
出発時に酔い止めバンドを貸してくれました。そのおかげか、波が高い日でしたが最後まで誰も酔っていませんでした。
この日は今までにないほど潮が満ちていて、幻の島は少ししか出ていないそう。他のツアー客で混み合っているので、まずシュノーケルをして、その後に幻の島へ行くことになりました。
移動中にシュノーケル講習があり、細かいところまでとても丁寧に指導してくれました。
いざ石西礁湖へ。
色とりどりの魚や、青や黄の珊瑚!カクレクマノミもいました!透明度は思ったほど高くなかったのが残念でしたが、それでも充分楽しめました。
海に入った後の移動中は少し寒かったので、濡れてもいい羽織りがあると良さそうです。
そしてついに幻の島へ。
船から少し泳いで島へ上陸。
本当に砂浜だけの島、感動しました!
朝よりも潮が引きツアー客も減っていたので、状況をみながらプランを練りなおしてくれるRISEさんで良かったと思いました。
30分間思う存分に写真を撮り、砂浜に寝転がり、幻の島を堪能しました。
人魚のコスプレは勇気が出なくてしませんでしたが、見ていたら可愛かったです。
午前ツアーは12時に終了し、その後ホテルまで送ってくれました。
半日プランでも充分に楽しめます!
シュノーケルに必要な装備全てとお茶、酔い止めバンドも用意してくれ、水着を着てタオルを持ってホテルで待っていればいいので楽です。対応もとても丁寧なのでおススメです。
今回は潮が高すぎたので、引き潮の時にまた参加してみたいです。
I participated in a trip to Ishigaki Island in late June. There were just under 10 participants, and 2 staff members provided us with thorough explanations about snorkeling. My wife, who is not fond of the ocean, forgot her worries because the sea was so beautiful and there were plenty of fish, so she had a great time. I think it's also recommended for beginners. There was a group with children, and in addition to life jackets, they were also provided with children's floaties. On the phantom island, we were able to rent mermaid costumes, which made my wife very happy. There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and the phantom island, and with some free time as well, we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Since we were scheduled to return on an afternoon flight, we used the shower at the office right by the port, and they also recommended a great place for lunch. I was a bit worried that the tour on the last day might be too much, but I’m glad I signed up as we were able to enjoy our Ishigaki Island trip until the very end. It seems there are various other tours available, so I would definitely like to use them again.
6月の後半に石垣島旅行に行った際に参加しました。参加者は10名弱でスタッフは2名ついてくださり、シュノーケリングの説明も丁寧にして頂けました。妻は海が苦手でしたがそんなことを忘れるくらい、海が綺麗で魚もたくさんいたので、楽しんでました。初心者の方にもおすすめだと思います。子連れのグループもいましたが、ライフジャケットに加えて、子供用の浮輪も貸してもらえてました。幻の島ではマーメイドの衣装を借りれて、妻も喜んでました。シュノーケリングも幻の島も時間には余裕がありま
すし、自由時間もあるので、十分楽しめます。午後の飛行機で帰る予定だったので、港からすぐのオフィスでシャワーを使わせて頂き、ついでに昼ごはんのおすすめ店教えて頂きました。最終日にツアーは大変かなとも思っていましたが石垣島旅行を最後の最後まで楽しめて、申し込んで良かったと思います。他にも色々なツアーがあるようなのでまたぜひ、利用したいです
I was captivated by the majestic nature of Kabira Bay without feeling the usual noise and stress of daily life. Standing on the SUP, the angle changed, allowing me to see the sea more beautifully from above, which was truly moving. Even though I was still in Japan, the atmosphere felt completely different; the sounds I heard were just the waves and the wind, and I realized I was experiencing a calmness that was the opposite of my usual feelings. I am deeply grateful for the nature of Ishigaki Island.
The Blue Cave was crowded with other people, but the laughter and joyful atmosphere made it not bothersome at all. I was able to observe clownfish and enjoy a luxurious time. The gaps in the coral felt like pathways in the sea, making swimming a lot of fun. Finally, I took a natural shower under the waterfall and had a great time, creating wonderful memories.
日頃の雑音やストレスを感じることなく川平湾の雄大な自然に魅了されました。
supに立つことで角度が変わり上から見渡せ一層海がきれいに見え、感動。
同じ日本でも全く違った時間が流れているので聞こえるのが波の音、風の音に変わっただけなのに普段とは真逆の穏やかな感情になっていることに気づき石垣島の自然に深く感謝。
青の洞窟は他の人たちでいっぱいになってはいましたが、笑い声や楽しい雰囲気だったので全然気にならずクマノミを観察したりして贅沢な時間を過ごせました。
サンゴの隙間が海の道のようになっていて泳いでて楽しかったです。
最後に滝つぼで自然のシャワーと休憩をし、いい思い出になりました。
I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, and I was told that even those who struggled with swimming lessons in school could join, so I participated (laughs). I was able to enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island very easily without having to carry anything.
The cave was filled with lots of coral, and the staff took pictures of me holding them. Canoeing in Kabira Bay was said to have the best ocean views in Ishigaki Island, and I paddled to my heart's content! At the waterfall basin, I could swim like in a pool and jumping in was surprisingly the most fun part!
青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて子供から参加でき学生時代プールの授業が苦手だった方でも楽しめますよと教えてもらい参加(笑)
手ぶらで行けてとても楽に石垣島の海を楽しめました。
洞窟にはサンゴがたくさんあって手に持った写真をスタッフ撮ってもらいました。
川平湾でのカヌークルージングは石垣島で最高といわれる海の景色の中で思いのままに漕ぎまくり!
滝つぼではプール感覚で泳げて飛び込んだりして意外とそれが一番たのしかった!
