All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I received a notification about a schedule change the day before, and they responded kindly to ensure I could enjoy my experience. The weather wasn't very good, but I was able to see several sea turtles and fish, which made me very satisfied! They also took a lot of photos, creating great memories. It was my first time with both SUP and snorkeling; I struggled a bit with paddling at first, but by the end, I was able to do it quite well! I felt reassured knowing they would help me if I fell, allowing me to enjoy myself without worry. Thank you for a wonderful day!

前日に時間変更の連絡があり、楽しめるよう丁寧に対応してくださりました。
天気はあまり良くありませんでしたが、ウミガメ何匹か見れて、魚も見ることができて大満足です！
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり良い思い出になりました
SUPもシュノーケルも初めてで、SUPは特に最初は上手く漕ぐことができませんでしたが、
終わり間際には結構できるようになりました！
落ちてしまっても助けてくれるので安心して楽しめました！1日ありがとうございました

Due to the weather not being very good, the snorkeling was canceled, but I was very satisfied with just the SUP! During the tour, they also provided explanations about the plants, which allowed us to enjoy the scenery even more! Usually, I tend to get too caught up in taking photos, but since they took many pictures during the tour, I was able to focus on the SUP and the scenery, creating wonderful memories. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to try snorkeling next time as well.

天候があまり良くないため、シュノーケリングの方は中止になってしまいましたがSUPだけでも大満足でした‼︎
ツアー中、植物などの説明もしてくださり、より景色を楽しむことができました！
いつもは、写真を撮ることに夢中になってしまいがちなのですが、ツアー中たくさんお写真を撮ってくださったため、SUPと景色に集中することができ良い思い出になりました。
また機会がありましたら次はシュノーケリングもよろしくお願いします。

Since the bus service to the Churaumi Aquarium has been reduced, it has become difficult to go there individually, so I joined this tour. I thought it was a good deal considering the entrance fee and bus fare. Although it says there is a two and a half hour stay at the aquarium, it actually feels more like two hours due to the time needed for ticket arrangements and travel, so you can only enjoy it in a rush.

Lunch is included, so you need to manage your food and time well.

I was pleasantly surprised by Manzamo! The view of the sea from the cliffs is breathtaking. The walking paths and facilities were also beautiful.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour. I found the guide's stories interesting. However, I think it would be better if the discussions about Okinawa's region and history were a bit more specialized and cohesive. The announcements from the vehicle window (like "Please look at the building on your right") were sometimes off, and there were times when I didn't know what to look at, which was disappointing.

Since we are going far and stopping at various places, it's understandable that it becomes a full-day tour, but I wish there were tours that could return to Naha a bit earlier. On the last night of my stay, I would like to do some shopping (laughs), so I hope they consider half-day tours starting in the morning as well.

美ら海水族館へのバスが減便で個人では行きにくくなっていたので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。入場料やバス代を考えてもお得だと思いました。水族館では二時間半滞在とありますが、入場券の手配や移動に時間がかかるので、実質二時間程度、駆け足で楽しめる感じです。
お昼ごはんの時間が含まれているので、食べ物や時間配分を自分でうまくやる必要があります。
案外良かったのが万座毛でした！断崖絶壁から海が見えて圧巻です。遊歩道や施設もキレイでした。

全体的には満足なツアーでした。
ガイドさんのお話も興味深く伺いました。
沖縄の地域や歴史の話は、もう少し専門的でまとまりがあると良いと思いました。
車窓からの案内（「右手の建物をご覧ください」など）は、ずれているのか？何をみれば良いのか分らない時があり、残念でした。

遠方まで行くし、あちこちよってもらえるので、一日ツアーになるのは仕方ないけれど、もう少し早く那覇に戻れるツアーがあるといいなあ。滞在最後の夜だと買い物もしたいので（笑）朝からの半日ツアーも是非検討してほしいです。

The weather wasn't very good, so we couldn't hold the planned stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay and instead had it in the mangroves. However, since they contacted us in advance and we agreed, there was no problem.

Also, on the day of the event, we were informed that the sea conditions were not good, so snorkeling was canceled. But they explained everything properly in advance and mentioned that we would receive a refund for the canceled activity, so I was able to participate without worry.

The stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves was great; they took plenty of photos and provided a lot of explanations about the plants and insects, which made it a fun experience.

天気があまり良くなくて、予定していた川平湾でのサップ開催が出来ず、マングローブでの開催でしたが、事前に連絡を下さり了承の上だったので問題ありませんでした。

また、当日に海の状況がよくないとの事で、シュノーケリングも中止になりましたが、こちらもきちんと事前に説明してくだり、中止分は返金の旨も説明頂けたので心配せず参加できました。

マングローブでのサップはしっかり写真を撮っていただけて、植物の説明や虫の説明などたくさんしていただけて楽しかったです。

The day of the experience, it rained on and off throughout the day. Still, the tour was very enjoyable and satisfying!

In the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the rain added to the atmosphere, and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature's formations!

On Yubu Island, we leisurely crossed the path connecting Iriomote Island and Yubu Island, which was filled with seawater, while being pulled by a water buffalo cart. Along the way, our guide played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed Okinawan atmosphere! We had lunch at a botanical garden and were able to taste Okinawan cuisine!

On the final stop at Taketomi Island, we rode in a water buffalo cart and leisurely explored the village while listening to the sanshin! We could also rent bicycles to visit famous spots around the island!

Before I knew it, it was already time to head back, and I felt like there was still so much more to experience!

*When traveling around each island, the distances between locations can be significant, so it might be more efficient to join a tour or similar activities.*

体験した日は、1日を通して雨が降ったり止んだりでした。
それでも、ツアーはとても楽しく満足のいく内容でした！

西表島のマングローブでは、雨の影響でとても雰囲気が出ており、自然が織りなす造形美に圧倒されます！

由布島では、海水が入ってくる西表島と由布島を結ぶ道を水牛に牛車を引っ張ってもらい島へとのんびり渡りました。
道中、ガイドの方が三線を弾いてくださり沖縄らしいのんびりとした時間を過ごせます！
植物園にてお昼を食べ、沖縄料理を味わう事が出来ます！

最後の竹富島でも、水牛車に乗り、三線を聴きながらのんびり集落を見て回れます！
自転車を借りて島内の有名どころも見て回る事が出来ます！

気づけばあっという間に帰る時間となりまだまだ足りないくらいでした！

※各島内を回る時は1箇所1箇所距離があるため、ツアーなどに参加して回った方が効率がよいかもしれません。

El, the guide from the Jumbo Bus Tour, interacted with us at a comfortable distance, which made it feel less restrictive.

Despite the unfortunate traffic during the holiday, we were able to fully utilize our time until the end.

Unfortunately, even though El announced that everyone should take their trash with them (and there were foreign guests of Asian descent who understood Japanese perfectly), this group left behind plastic bottles and pamphlets.

It's important to maintain proper etiquette until the very end.

ジャンボバスツアーのエルさんが、つかず離れずのほどよい距離感で接してくれて、余り拘束感ありませんでした。

あいにくの連休で道は渋滞してたものの、最後までたいざいじかんきっちり使ってみることができました。

残念なことに、東洋系外国人の方が(日本語バッチリわかる)、ごみは持ち帰るようにちゃんとエルさんがアナウンスしたにもかかわらず、この団体のみが、ペットボトルやらパンフレットやら置いていきました。

最後までちゃんとするのがマナーです。

Due to the weather, we changed from sea SUP to river SUP. The snorkeling in the northern area with the Blue Cave was changed to snorkeling in the southern area where the waves are relatively calm.

I was anxious about trying SUP for the first time, but I was able to manage it very easily! Once I got used to it, I felt relaxed and had a great time!

Since it was raining, the atmosphere of the mangroves was present, and I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors!

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling! I thought we would only enjoy the shallow areas, but surprisingly, I ended up swimming quite deep! There were colorful fish like those seen in aquariums, and the coral reefs were spread out, which captivated me as someone who loves marine life!

The guide was very friendly, and I felt like I could have talked to him even more! I was able to have a fun experience with the other participants as well!

Although we had to change plans due to the weather, I still think it was worth participating! I want to join the tour again for a revenge attempt!

*On the day of participation, it was quite windy and cloudy, so honestly... it was cold when I was diving and after coming up! (laughs)

*The pickup time should come through the app or email around 6 PM the day before participation, but this time, perhaps due to the difficulty in judging the weather, I didn't receive a notification and had to confirm by phone. If you don't receive a notification about the pickup time, it might be a good idea to check with the tour company.

今回は天候の関係で、海のSUP→川のSUP。青の洞窟がある北部のシュノーケル→波が比較的穏やかな南部のシュノーケルにそれぞれ変更となりました。

SUPは初めてチャレンジで乗りこなせるか不安がありましたが、とても簡単に乗りこなす事が出来ました！
慣れると余裕が出てきてすごく気持ち良く楽しむ事が出来ます！

雨が降っていたこともあり、マングローブの雰囲気が出ており大自然を堪能する事が出来ました！

午後はシュノーケルを行いました！
浅瀬で楽しむくらいかなと思っていましたが、泳いでみれば意外と深いところまで泳いでいました！
水族館で見るようなカラフルな魚たちから珊瑚礁が広がっており、海洋生物が好きな私は終始見惚れてしまいました！

ガイドの方はとても気さくな方でまだまだ話し足りないくらいでした！
一緒に参加した人達とも楽しく体験する事ができました！

今回は天候の影響で代替え案となりましたが、それでも参加する価値はあると思います！
リベンジしにまたツアーに参加したいと思います！

※参加して日は風が強く、お天気も曇りだったため、正直…潜ってる時、上がった後は寒かったです！笑

※参加する前日の18時くらいにピックアップ時刻がアプリやメールを通じてくるはずですが…
今回は天候の判断が難しかったのか、通知が来ず電話で確認しました。
ピックアップの時刻の通知が来ない時は催行会社に確認した方がいいかもしれません。

Beyond my imagination!
It was my first time snorkeling, and I even encountered a sea turtle and took many photos. We kayaked to the entrance of the Pumpkin Cave, and swimming inside was a mystical experience that moved me! They also explained places where photography was not allowed and about the stalactites, which was educational. Finally, we jumped from the Pumpkin! It was a valuable experience and so much fun!
I participated in the tour right after the beach opening!
As for COVID-19 measures... I realized after it ended that there wasn't a temperature check or alcohol disinfection, but since it was an outdoor activity, I wasn't too concerned about being in close quarters!
The staff was attentive, checking multiple times if anyone was feeling seasick or unwell. There was someone in the group who started to feel a bit off, and it seemed challenging to keep an eye on them while also watching the rest of the group, but thanks to their quick and clear instructions, we were able to finish the tour without any worries.
They talked with a smile the whole time, which was enjoyable, and it was interesting to share stories with a few people from Hokkaido, my hometown!
I would like to use this service again when I travel to Miyako Island. Thank you for the wonderful memories! ^_^

想像以上!
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、ウミガメにも出会えて写真も沢山撮っていただきました。パンプキン鍾乳洞入口までカヤックを漕いで行き、中に泳いで入ると神秘的な空間で感動しました!写真撮影NGな場所や鍾乳石などの説明もしていただき、勉強にもなりました。最後はパンプキンからのジャンプ!貴重な体験ができ楽しかったです!
海開き後すぐにツアー参加させていただきました！
コロナ対策は…そーいえば体温チェックとかアルコール除菌とかなかったかなーと終わってから思いましたが笑
でもお外での活動だったので、密ではないのかなーと気になりませんでした！
お姉さんが何度も波酔いした方や体調崩した方がいないかなどを気にかけてくださっていました。
同じタイミングでのツアー参加の方に少し調子悪くなった方がいて、その人を気にしつつの周りも気にしつつと大変そうでしたが、テキパキした指示をしてくださったため不安なくツアーを終えることができました。
終始ニコニコ笑顔で話してくださり楽しかったのと、同じ北海道出身の方々が何人かいたため同郷の話も出来て面白かったです！
また宮古島に旅行に来た際は利用したいと思いました。いい思い出をありがとうございました^_^

Although the weather was unfortunately not great on the day of the tour, I was really impressed by how clear and beautiful the ocean was! It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but thanks to the thorough instructions from the guide, I didn't fall into the water at all! (laughs)

Also, during the tour, the guide took wonderful photos, so if you're worried about falling into the water, you can leave it to the guide without any problems!

The morning tour started at 9 AM and ended just after 12 PM, which made it easy to plan other activities for the day! On the way back, the guide also recommended a great lunch tour in the city, so I had no trouble finding a place to eat! (After the tour, I went to Sushi Taro and had sushi, which was delicious!)

I thought it would be nice to do this again on a sunny day! Thank you very much!

当日はあいにくの天気でしたが、海が透き通って綺麗だったのがとても感動しました！
初めてSUPをしましたが、1から丁寧に教えてくださったおかげで海に落ちることはありませんでした！(笑)

また、ツアー中はガイドさんが素敵な写真を撮ってくださるので、海ポチャするか不安な人はガイドさんにお任せして問題ありません！


午前中のツアーで9時集合、12時過ぎ解散だったので朝から活動できて予定も組みやすいと思います！
帰りに市内のおすすめランチツアーをしてくださったのもあり、ランチに困ることはありませんでした！(解散後、すし太郎さんにいってお寿司をいただきました美味しかったです！)

次は晴れの日にまたやりたいな〜と思いました！
ありがとうございました！

I received detailed advice on the order of sightseeing and time adjustments, allowing me to enjoy various views and meals. It was fun! Thank you!

観光の順序や時間調整など細かくアドバイスしていただきいろいろな景色や食事も出来ました。
楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

During my first trip to Okinawa, I mentioned that I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium but didn't have a good sense of the area. When I expressed that I wanted to see more, they kindly gave me advice and took me to Nago Pineapple Park. It was a lot of fun!

初めての沖縄旅行で土地勘が分からず美ら海水族館に行きたいとだけお伝えしてたのですが他も観てみたいとお伝えしたら快くアドバイスをくださりナゴパイナップルパークへ連れて行っていただきました。楽しかったです！

In the morning, I saw five sea turtles up close while snorkeling at Shinjo Beach. It was so cute to see them when they came up for air. I also got to see many different fish while receiving various explanations!

In the afternoon, I enjoyed paddleboarding in a calm area while leisurely paddling and watching the fish. It was my first experience, and I had a lot of fun! I want to do it again!

The guide, Mr. Hara, provided clear and thorough explanations, and I had a wonderful time! Thank you! ✨

午前中は新城海岸でのシュノーケリングでウミガメがめちゃくちゃ近くで5匹も見れました。息継ぎする瞬間すっごい可愛かったです他にもいろんな説明をしてもらいながら海の魚をたくさん見れました！
午後のSUPは落ち着いた場所でのんびり漕ぎながら魚も見れました。初めての体験でしたが、とても楽しかったです！また体験したいです！
ガイドの原さんの説明もわかりやすく、丁寧でとてもいい時間を過ごせました！ありがとうございました✨

In the morning, I participated in canoeing, and in the afternoon, I joined a snorkeling session. Although it was unfortunately cloudy, the sun occasionally peeked through the gaps in the clouds, and I was moved by the beauty of the sea at that moment. It was my first time canoeing, but I learned how to paddle, and gradually got the hang of it. The wind felt refreshing and invigorating.

For snorkeling, I wore a wetsuit, and at first, I thought it might be cold, but the shallow waters felt warm enough, so I was glad it wasn't chilly even in March. There were so many colorful fish, and while the deeper areas were a bit murky, the not-so-deep spots were clear, and I was thrilled to encounter a clownfish family. I wished I had a bit more time for snorkeling. I want to come back on a sunny day next time!

午前中カヌー、午後はシュノーケリングに参加しました。
あいにくの曇り空でしたが雲の隙間から時折太陽が出でき時の海の綺麗さに感動
カヌーも初めてでしたが漕ぎ方を教わり
だんだんコツもわかってきて風が気持ち良くって爽快でした。
シュノーケリングはウェットスーツを着ての参加だったので最初な寒いかなとも思いましたが
浅瀬は海水も暖かく感じるぐらいで
3月でも寒くなくてよかったです。
色とりどりの魚がいっぱいいて、
深いところは少し濁ってましたが
そんなに深くない所は良く見えたし
ニモ親子にも出会えて感動でした
もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があればいいなと思いました。
今度は晴れた日にまた来たい！

This was my second time in Ishigaki Island. Since I had experienced kayaking on the river before, I participated this time at my daughter's request to try SUP in the ocean. The weather wasn't great, but Kabira Bay was very beautiful, and it was a truly luxurious experience to paddle through it on a SUP. The guide was very friendly, and everyone else in the group was nice as well, making the time in the car very enjoyable. I definitely want to come back next time! I’m thinking of trying activities in Iriomote Island next. Thank you very much.

今回2度目の石垣島でした。川でカヤックは体験したことがあったので、今回は海でSUPをしたいという娘の希望で参加させていただきました。
天気はイマイチでしたが、川平湾はとても綺麗で、その中をSUPで進むなんてとても贅沢な体験でした。
ガイドさんもとても親しみやすく、参加されていた他のグループの方も良い方ばかりで、車内もとても楽しかったです。
次回もぜひまたお世話になりたいです！
次は西表島のアクティビティをしてみたいと思っています。
ありがとうございました。

Overall, I enjoyed a relaxed plan. The water buffalo took their time resting and moving around, which added to the leisurely atmosphere and was just wonderful! The boat tour on the Nakagawa River was enjoyable with explanations about the mangroves. It was easy to understand and increased my awareness of the surroundings. Taketomi Island has a distinct Okinawan feel, and the streets are beautiful! Since we need to be mindful not to disturb the residents, we must pay attention to manners. It rained a little, but that added to the charm. However, I heard that when it's sunny, the sky reflects beautifully in the sea on the way to Yufu Island, so I want to try again. Since it's a subtropical climate, insect repellent is a must.

全体的にゆったりプランで楽しめました。水牛が気分で休んだり、動いたり、そういう所も含めてゆるやかでゆったりしていて、最高でした！
仲間川の遊覧は、マングローブの解説など楽しめました。わかりやすくて、目の付け所が増えました。竹富島は沖縄感があって、街並みがステキ！住人に迷惑をかけるので、マナーに気をつけないといけないです。少し雨が降っていましたが、それもまた趣あって良かったです。でも晴れたら由布島に渡るまでの海に空が映って綺麗とのことだったので、またリベンジしたいです。亜熱帯気候なので、虫除け必須です。

I participated in the experience of swimming with sea turtles and exploring the Pumpkin Cave!

Before returning to the city, I decided I wanted to have a marine experience, so I made a reservation the day before and joined as a solo traveler. (Due to work commitments, I was alone, but it was nice to be with a family that had children.)

I didn't have much experience with snorkeling, but the instructor was very kind and explained everything thoroughly. (At first, I struggled to keep the goggles in place, and water kept getting in, but gradually I got used to it and was able to keep my face in the water for longer.)

As soon as we started looking for sea turtles, we found one right away, and later encountered another one. The sea turtle we found moved slowly and seemed to swim at the same pace as us, which was incredibly cute!

I was worried I might not get to see any, so I was really happy when I spotted one right away. It was a wonderful experience to swim right above the sea turtle!

After that, we moved by canoe to the Pumpkin Cave. (Canoeing uses quite a bit of arm muscle, haha.)

We entered through a very small entrance, and suddenly came across a large pumpkin-shaped formation, which was surprising!

Since there wasn't much depth, I thought that was the end, but then I was surprised again when they said we would climb through the cave! (It was less slippery than I expected, which was good.)

Inside was very mystical, and I felt the power of nature. I love experiences like this that make me feel excited as I venture deeper. At the end, we jumped into the sea from a spot about 2 meters high!

It became a truly memorable experience that makes me want to come back again.

The guide was also very kind, and it’s a tour that anyone can enjoy even if you’re alone, so I definitely recommend participating!☆

ウミガメと泳ぐ体験＋パンプキン鍾乳洞体験に
参加しました！

都内に帰る前にマリン体験がしたいと思い立ち、
女一人で前日に予約して参加しました。
（仕事の関係で1人参加でしたが
　お子さん連れの家族が一緒だったのでよかったです泣）

シュノーケル体験はあまり経験がなかったのですが、インストラクターのお兄さんが丁寧に説明してくれました。
（最初はゴーグルを抑えてないと水が入ってきてしまったりで慣れなかったのですが、だんだん長く海に顔をつけられるようになりました＾＾）

ウミガメを探し始めたら早速見つかり、
後にもう1匹にも遭遇。今回見つけたウミガメは
動きがゆっくりで、人間の泳ぐ速さに合わせてくれた感じがしてなんとも可愛らしかったです...!

遭遇できなかったら残念だなあと思っていましたが、すぐに会えたので嬉しかったです。
ウミガメの真上を泳ぐ、素敵な体験ができました！

その後はカヌーで移動してパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。
（カヌーは腕の筋肉けっこう使いますねｗ）

とても小さい入口から入り、中には
大きなカボチャの形をしたものがいきなり出てきてびっくり！

特に奥行きがなかったので、これで終わりかあ、と少し落胆してたら鍾乳洞を登ると言われまたびっくりｗ
（思っていたより滑りにくくてよかったです）

中はとても神秘的で、自然の凄さを体感しました。
奥に進んでいる時がワクワクするのでこういう体験は好きです。
最後は2mくらい高い場所から海へジャンプ！

また来たいと思える、とっても思い出に残る体験になりました。

ガイドさんも優しく
女一人でも全然楽しめるツアーなので、
是非参加してみてください☆

We participated as a family.
Last year, we tried SUP for the first time in Iriomote Island, but this was our first try in Ishigaki Island.
The course choice by our wonderful guide, Miyuki, was great! We went through a mangrove tunnel crouching down, and she guided us to places that felt like a limestone cave, with some spots where we had to lie down to pass through, haha.
Of course, she also provided explanations about Ishigaki's nature and the mangroves.
Thank you, Miyuki, for teaching us kindly and sending us so many photos.
Even though it was our first meeting, we somehow connected right away and had a very enjoyable time together.

家族全員で参加しました
去年西表島ではじめてSUPしましたが、石垣島では初トライです。
素敵な笑顔のガイドみゆきちゃんのコースチョイス？！が良いのか、マングローブのトンネルをしゃがんだ体制でくぐったり、鍾乳洞のような場所へ案内してくれたり、ときに寝そべらないと通過できないような場所があったりｗ
もちろん石垣の自然、マングローブの説明もちゃんとしてくれます
みゆきちゃん、優しく教えてくれて、それとたくさんの写真送ってくれてありがとう
はじめて会ったのに、なぜかすぐに打ち解けて、とても楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。

We participated as a family of five! The weather was unfortunately drizzly, but it actually made the mangrove greenery look beautiful and very soothing. Plus, I had a bad sunburn from the previous day's water activities, so the cool weather felt nice.

Two out of the five of us were trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time, but thanks to our guide, Miyuki, who was very supportive, we quickly got the hang of it. My youngest son (13) was eagerly waiting for someone to lose their balance and fall off the SUP, and sure enough, my eldest daughter (20) spectacularly lost her balance!

She did a great job (^^). We all laughed and created wonderful memories together. (I also fell off twice when I first tried it on Iriomote Island.)

家族5人で参加！
天気は生憎小雨だったのですが、かえってマングローブの緑が綺麗に見えて癒し感ばっちりでした。それと前日の海アクティビティで日焼けが酷かったので心地よかったｗ
ＳＵＰは5人中2人がはじめてでしたが、ガイドのみゆきさんの優しいフォローもあって、すぐに慣れて乗れるようになりました
一番下の息子（13）は、誰かSUPからバランス崩して落ちないか、ずっと期待していましたが、長女（20）が、見事にバランス崩してwww
とても良い仕事をしてくれました(^^
みんなで笑ってとても良い思い出になりました。
（そういう私も西表島で初めてやった時に、2回落ちました。）

I was a bit worried about the unfortunate weather, but I had a great time! There are age restrictions, but I think even those without athletic skills can enjoy it.

あいにくの天気でちょっと心配しましたが十分に楽しめました！年齢制限はありますが、運動神経のない方でも乗れると思います。

It was thunder and heavy rain until the morning of the day, but they were monitoring the sea conditions right up until the last moment to make a decision, and just in time, the rain stopped, allowing us to participate in the tour safely! Even with the cloudy sky, the underwater scenery was beautiful, and we were able to swim with many fish and sea turtles, which was an amazing experience!

After snorkeling, we moved by car close to the Pumpkin Cave, so it's necessary to have plastic covers or bath towels to keep the car dry! Canoeing and exploring the Pumpkin Cave can be quite physically demanding, so a schedule that allows for some relaxation afterward might be a good idea. The guide also took many photos and shared interesting facts, making it a fun time!

当日の朝まで雷と大雨でしたが、直前まで海の様子をみて決行を判断しているとのことで、ギリギリで雨も止み、無事にツアーに参加することができました！
曇り空でも海の中はとても綺麗で沢山の魚やウミガメとも泳ぐことができ最高の体験ができました٩( ´◡` )( ´◡` )۶
シュノーケリングが終わった後は車でパンプキン鍾乳洞の近くまで移動となるので、車が濡れないようビニールやバスタオルは必要です！
カヌーやパンプキン鍾乳洞の探索は割と体力を使うので、体験後はゆっくりできるスケジュールが良いかもしれません。
ガイドさんも沢山写真をとってくれたり、豆知識を教えてくれて楽しい時間でした！

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave and sea turtle snorkeling tour. The sea was very beautiful! As someone who isn't a strong swimmer, I was a bit scared, but the guide was very kind, and my family was able to enjoy it. I was very satisfied to swim with the colorful fish and sea turtles. The Pumpkin Cave we visited afterward was very mystical.

The guide took many photos for us, which was a wonderful service for our family since we didn't bring a camera. However, it was a bit awkward to leave covered in sand after the tour.

　パンプキン鍾乳洞と海ガメシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。とてもきれいな海！泳ぐのが苦手な私は少し怖かったのですが、ガイドの方も親切にして下さり、家族で楽しむことができました。色鮮やかな魚たち&海ガメと泳げて大満足でした。その後に行ったパンプキン鍾乳洞はとても神秘的でした。
　ガイドの方がたくさん写真も撮影してくださり、カメラを持っていかなかった私たち家族にとってはとても嬉しいサービスでした。
　ただ、ツアー終了後、砂だらけの状態で帰るのが微妙でした。

My child was a bit scared on their first canoe trip, but once we started, they got completely absorbed and paddled off on their own! I left my smartphone in the car to avoid dropping it in the sea, but the guide took plenty of photos, so we have great memories! The kids were impressed by the handsome guide! This time we went canoeing as a family, but next time I definitely want to try stand-up paddleboarding! It was a half-day tour this time, but I slightly regret not choosing the full-day plan.

子供は初めてのカヌーで、少し怖がっていましたが、始まるとなんのその、夢中で勝手に行ってしまいました！スマホは海に落とすと大変なので、車に置いておきましたが、ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれたので、思いでもバッチリです！子供たちはイケメンガイドさんや！って感動してました！今回は家族でカヌーでしたが、次は是非サップに挑戦したいです！今回は半日のツアでしたが、一日プランでもよかったなぁと少し後悔しています。

Today, I had my first kayaking experience with a fun guide! The location was perfect with shallow waters. The explanations were easy to understand, and even though there were many other participants, the guide was attentive to everyone. Time flew by, and it seemed like the kids wanted to do it a little longer! It's a safe and enjoyable activity even for small children!

今日は楽しいガイドさんに連れられてカヤック初挑戦！
遠浅で最高のロケーションでした。
説明もわかりやすく、他の参加者もたくさんいらっしゃいましたが、全員に気配りしてくれるガイドさんでした。
時間が過ぎるのが早くて、子供たちももう少しやりたかったみたいです！
小さい子供さんでも安心して楽しめます！

I participated in a tour of the Pumpkin Cave and sea turtle snorkeling.

We gathered at 8:30 AM and headed to Shigira Beach. Right at the start of the tour, we encountered a sea turtle. The tour description on Veltra didn’t mention that photos would be taken during the tour, but the guide took pictures of each group with the sea turtle, which made for a great memory. In addition to the sea turtles, we were guided to beautiful coral reefs and deeper areas, allowing us to observe various marine creatures.

After snorkeling for about an hour, we moved by car to Bora River Beach. We boarded a canoe to head to the Pumpkin Cave. Before entering the cave, there were many explanations and precautions about areas that should not be touched or stepped on, showing that the tour respects the feelings of the local people regarding nature conservation and the sacredness of the site. Inside the cave, there were some tricky spots, but the guide was quick to lend a hand, allowing us to explore safely. Additionally, they maintained distance from other tours while providing explanations and taking photos, making it a memorable trip.

Thank you!

パンプキン鍾乳洞とウミガメシュノーケルのツアーに参加しました。

朝８時半集合でシギラビーチへ。
ツアーを始めてすぐ、ウミガメと遭遇。ベルトラのツアー説明には、ツアー中の写真を撮ってもらえるとの記載がなかったのですが、ガイドの方が参加一組ずつウミガメと写真撮影してくださったのでよい記念になりました。また、ウミガメだけでなく、サンゴ礁が綺麗なところや、深いところにも順に案内してくださり、色んな海の生き物を観察することが出来ました。

1時間くらいシュノーケルした後は、車移動をして、保良川ビーチへ。カヌーに乗ってパンプキン鍾乳洞に向かいます。パンプキン鍾乳洞に入る前には触ったり踏んだりしてはいけない場所の説明や注意事項がたくさんあり、自然保護や聖地としている地元の方の気持ちを大切にしながらツアーを催行していることが窺えました。鍾乳洞の中では足場が悪いところもありましたが、ガイドの方がすかさず手を差し伸べてくださり、安心して見学出来ました。また、他のツアーと距離をあけながら、説明や写真撮影をしていただき、心に残る旅行になりました。

ありがとうございました！

Overall, it was a journey that healed my heart with beautiful scenery and a pleasant breeze. When I previously visited Kabira Bay, I dreamed of doing SUP there someday, and I finally fulfilled that wish. While the shallow areas made me think, "Isn't this more like just standing than SUP?", the sensation of standing on the clear, beautiful water surface was unforgettable.

I wanted to go to the Blue Cave, but due to high waves the day before, we couldn't go and instead went snorkeling at Okasaki Beach. It was thrilling to see tropical fish, familiar from aquariums, right in front of me! Plus, the excitement of swimming through the corals was incredible! Time flew by in an instant.

All the staff were kind, taught well, and even took wonderful photos for us, which I truly appreciated. However, an unexpected issue was that while lunch was supposed to be in Kabira when I made the reservation, it actually turned out to be at the island terminal. We had to travel for 30 minutes and then wander around the bustling area for over an hour in wet clothes. After lunch, we regrouped and had to travel another 30 minutes back to Okasaki Beach, which was tough. It was disappointing that it took an hour instead of the less than 20 minutes it would have taken to go directly from Kabira to Okasaki, and that we couldn't have lunch in Kabira (since I had researched it a lot).

I thought it might be better to request separate days for these activities next time.

総じて、美しい景色と心地よい風に心を癒される旅となりました。
以前に川平湾へ来た時に、いつかは川平湾でsupをしたいと夢見て、そしてついに念願がかないました。浅いところは、「supじゃなくてよくね？」という感じもしないでもないですが、透明な美しい水面に立つ快感は忘れがたいものでした。
青の洞窟に行きたかったのですが、前日に波が高くて行けないとなり、大崎ビーチでシュノーケリングをしました。水族館でおなじみの熱帯魚がすぐ目の前にいる感動！しかも、珊瑚の間をすり抜けるように泳ぐスリル！　あっという間に時間が終わりました。
スタッフはみなさん親切で、教え方も上手、しかもステキな写真も撮っていただき、本当にありがたかったです。
ただ予定外だったのが、予約時は川平で昼食となっていたのが、実際は離島ターミナルとなり、30分かけて移動して、ぬれた格好のまま1時間以上、繁華街をうろつくことになったことです。昼食後に再集合し、また30分かけて大崎ビーチに移動するのは、きつかったです。川平から大崎までは直接行けば20分もかからないのに、実際は1時間もかかってしまったことや、川平でランチできなかったことが残念でした（あれこれ調べていたので…。）
次回からは、別々に、別日に頼めばよいのかな思いました。

The hotel we stayed at was Naha West Inn, so it was convenient to reach the point in about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The price was also reasonable, and the timing was just right. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medicine before going. I didn't experience any seasickness.

Once we reached the boat, everyone spent their time as they liked, but we were at the front. The boat moved quickly, splashing water, and the kids were thrilled. The visibility was level 2, but it was clearer than I expected. I wonder if they were throwing bait to attract the fish? There were lots of fish swarming around the bait.

宿泊ホテルが那覇ウエストインだったのでホテルからまっすぐ徒歩5分ほどで着き便利でした。
お値段も安かったし、時間もほどよかったです。
私は乗り物酔いが重度な方なので酔い止めを飲んで行きました。
船酔いは無かったです。
ポイントに着くまでは船の上でおのおの好きに過ごすのですが、私たちは先頭に立ってました。スピード早く船が進み、水しぶきがかかり、子供が大喜びしていました。
透明度はレベル２でしたが思ってたより見えました。
餌をまいて魚を呼び寄せてるのでしょうか？餌にむらがる魚がいっぱい見えました。

The clear kayak and SUP were so much fun! They even filmed us with a GoPro and drone, and at the end, they gifted us the video!! The staff were all very kind and supportive, and even though I was a beginner with both the clear kayak and SUP, I made the best memories☆☆ I definitely want to come back to Miyako Island and experience this again! Thank you so much!

クリヤカヤックもSUPもとっても楽しかったです！
GoProとドローンで撮影までしてくださり、最後には動画までプレゼントしていただきました！！
スタッフの方達は皆さんとても優しくサポートしてくださり、クリヤカヤックもSUPも初心者ですが最高の思い出ができました☆☆
また宮古島に来た際にはぜひお世話になりたいと思います！本当にありがとうございました！

In March, the weather was cloudy and a bit cold, which made me anxious about getting into the water, but during the snorkeling experience, once I entered the sea and looked underwater, I was amazed to see so many beautiful and cute fish swimming around. I stopped feeling the coldness of the water and enjoyed the snorkeling experience to the fullest! Additionally, I was thrilled to see a sea turtle swimming up close and even took pictures together at a very close distance. The Pumpkin Cave was much larger than I had imagined, and as I ventured deeper into the cave, it felt like an exciting exploration. It was a mystical space, and I felt that there couldn't be another cave that was as moving as this one. The canoeing experience was also enjoyable, as I could paddle comfortably at just the right distance. I'm really glad I had the best experience on this tour!

3月で、天気も曇りで少し寒くて海の中に入るのが冷たそうで不安だったのですが、シュノーケリング体験で海に入って、海の中を覗くと綺麗な魚や可愛い魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが見れて感動して、水の冷たさを感じなくなってその後のシュノーケリング体験も最高に楽しめました！また、ウミガメが泳いでいるのを間近で見ることができて、至近距離で一緒に写真も撮れてとても嬉しかったです。パンプキン鍾乳洞は、私が思っていたよりも数倍洞窟の中が広くて、だんだん洞窟の奥に入っていくのが探検しているみたいでワクワクしました。神秘的な空間で、ここまで感動する洞窟は他にはないだろう、と感じました。カヌー体験も、ちょうどいい距離で気持ちよく漕ぐことができて楽しかったです。このツアーで最高の体験をできて本当によかったです！

On a clear day, my family participated in a snorkeling tour in Miyako Island for the first time! Despite changing the planned spot, we were able to encounter a sea turtle, which was very moving. The Pumpkin Cave also offered views that were more wonderful than I had imagined! The guide, Mr. Kuma, was very friendly and entertaining, and he shared a lot of interesting information about the sea and the caves, which made the tour several times more enjoyable. It was also a lot of fun when we paired up to paddle the canoe. Thank you very much!

快晴の中、宮古島では初めてシュノーケルツアーに家族で参加しました！
予定していたスポットを変更したにも関わらずウミガメに遭遇することが出来、とても感動しました^^
またパンプキン鍾乳洞も想像以上に素晴らしい景色を見ることが出来ました！
ツアーを担当してくださったクマさんがとても気さくで面白い方で、海や鍾乳洞についても詳しく楽しくお話しして下さったので、数倍ツアーが楽しかったように思えます^^ペアになりカヌーを漕いだ際もとても楽しく体験できました。本当にありがとうございました！

Due to bad weather the day before, we were informed in advance that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave. After a 5-minute briefing on paddling techniques, we entered the river right away, and even as beginners, we were able to make good progress! Because of the rain the previous day, the water level was high, allowing us to see mystical scenery on a route that is usually not accessible.

For snorkeling, we entered the sea from a point near the terminal by walking in from the shore. Here, we learned how to use the equipment and some precautions in the shallow water. Both activities included explanations about the surrounding flora and fauna, and they also recommended a great lunch, making for a fulfilling experience. Additionally, since we couldn't carry our smartphones or cameras, we were grateful to receive many photos.

前日から天候が悪かったため事前に青の洞窟には行けないことを伝えられていました。
5分漕ぎ方等のレクチャーを受けた後、すぐに川に入りましたが初心者でもちゃんと進むことが出来ました！前日の雨で増水していたため、普段は通れないコースで神秘的な景色を見ることが出来て良かったです。
シュノーケリングはターミナル近くのポイントからで陸から歩いて海に入りました。こちらは浅瀬で道具の使い方や注意点を教わりました。
どちらも周囲の動植物の説明があり、それだけではなくおすすめのランチも教えていただけたので、充実した時間を過ごせました。またスマホやカメラを携帯することが出来なかったので写真を沢山いただけてありがたかったです。
