All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I was able to efficiently visit the highlights, which made it enjoyable and easy. However, the audio guide was difficult to hear. Since there were participants from various countries, it might be unavoidable, but I wish there had been a bit more explanation and commentary from the guides.

見どころを効率よく回れたので楽ちんで楽しめました。
ただ、音声ガイドが聞きとり辛かったです。
いろいろな国の方が参加されているので仕方がないのかもしれませんが、もう少しガイドさんからの解説、説明などがあればいいなぁと思いました。

After a two-day delay due to weather conditions, I was able to participate. On the day of the event, there were three of us on the shuttle bus, but when we arrived, there were already four to five people lying back in reclining chairs. With no moon and clear skies, it was a perfect night for stargazing. We received various explanations about constellations, star names, and the location of the Andromeda Galaxy while sitting in seiza. We also used a telescope to view the clay rings, Mars, and a double star consisting of a red star and a blue star. At the end of the tour, we were able to gaze at the stars while listening to a live performance of the sanshin, which made me feel like I had truly arrived in a tropical paradise. I was surprised to see the North Star positioned just above the horizon, in a completely different location compared to Saitama. The tour was quite short at about an hour, so I thought it would have been nice to have an additional 30 minutes of free time. I took some photos of the stars with my compact digital camera, using the star mode with a 30-second exposure. I adjusted the levels, contrast, and color correction automatically in Photoshop. Quite a few stars and parts of the Milky Way are captured in the images.

天候の関係で2日ほど延期した後、参加させていただきました。当日の送迎バスは私を含めて3名でしたが、現地につくとすでに4～5名の方がリクライニングチェアに寝転んでおられました。月もなく、雲もなく絶好の鑑賞日和で、いろいろと説明を聞きながら正座や星の名前、アンドロメダ星雲の場所などを教えていただきました。また、天体望遠鏡を使用して土製の輪や火星、赤い星と青い星からなる二重星を見ることができました。ツアーの最後には三線の生ライブを聞きながら星を眺めることもでき、南国へ来たなあーという実感がありました。北極星が水平線のちょっと上に位置しており、埼玉県とはまったく違う位置関係に驚きでした。ツアーが約1時間と短いのであっという間に終了してしまうので、後30分くらい自由時間があるとよかったと思います。コンパクトデジカメで星の写真を撮ってみました。正座モードで30秒露出です。フォトショップでレベル調整、コントラスト、カラー補正を自動で行いました。結構星や天の川の一部が移っています。

I searched for a tour that includes the Kouri Bridge, Bise Fukugi Tree Road, and Churaumi Aquarium, and I booked this tour. I wanted to see Bise's Warumi, but the stay at Bise Fukugi Tree Road was only 40 minutes, so I could only catch a glimpse, which was disappointing.

古宇利大橋、備瀬のフクギ並木、美ら海水族館を回れるツアーを探して、こちらのツアーを予約しました。備瀬のワルミを見たかったが、備瀬のフクギ並木の滞在時間が40分と短く一瞬しか見れず、残念だった。

This was my first trip to Okinawa! I considered renting a car, but since I wanted to visit not only the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but also a few other places, I signed up for a tour because it was convenient and not expensive.

We participated as a family of four (with children in 3rd and 5th grade), and everyone was thrilled with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Ryukyu Mura and Pineapple Park.

At Ryukyu Mura, we had an early lunch, and the soba was delicious. The butterfly garden inside was also interesting. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has a relatively long visiting time, so we were satisfied not only with the aquarium but also with watching the dolphin show at the Ocean Expo Park's Okichan Theater and dipping our feet in the ocean.

Although it took time to pick up other tour participants from several hotels on the way to our destination, it wasn't too bothersome since we enjoyed the scenery outside. I think it's a day full of enjoyment.

Me and my girlfriend decided to go on a trip to ride on a underwater sightseeing cruise. It was really easy to find the place and it's about a 45 minute drive from kadena if your taking the expressway from kadena going to Naha and about an hour going 58 depending on how the traffic flow would be. Anyway, I'd say it's been an average experience cause we didn't exactly have of good view underwater cause of the unexpected weather so the sand under the water is everywhere but it was amusing on how the crew brings out the fish towards you, you'd be on this boat that carries about 20 to 30 people out to the ocean It was about 5 miles out of the port to reach our destination and has a way to go below the boat with seats in the middle and has glass on both sides so you can see the fish, I was really surprised and me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it but I got sea sick after 10 minutes of staring at the fish which took us a total of 1hr and a half tour.

It was just okay.
Deciding in advance on the tenderness of the meat based on previous reviews was the right choice.
The cruise felt like it was just going around the port, so I couldn't really enjoy the scenery.
Overall, it seemed like the atmosphere was geared towards people from China and Korea.

まあまあかな。
料理は以前のレビューを参考にしてお肉の固さをあらかじめ決めたのは正解でした。
クルーズは港をまわる感じで、いまいち景色を楽しめなかった。
全体的の雰囲気としては中国や韓国の人を対象にしてるみたいでした。

We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much. Our one-year-old child was excited and very happy. The weather was nice, the food was satisfying, and all the staff provided great service. We made wonderful memories as a family.

素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました。1歳の子供もはしゃいで大喜びでした。天気も良く、食事も満足、スタッフ皆さんにも良い対応をして頂きました。家族で良い思い出が出来ました。

This time, I challenged myself to diving and snorkeling for the first time in my life. We gathered around 8:30 AM and first checked in. At that time, we could choose to either leave our camera's SD card or purchase a new one to have photos taken. By the way, we chose to buy one and have our photos taken. After that, we changed into our swimsuits and received an explanation. To prevent heatstroke, we first took a shower before changing into our suits and moving to the boat. Then we boarded the boat and off we went! The Blue Cave☆☆☆ is only about 5 to 10 minutes away from the boat! We started with snorkeling! When we arrived, there were already quite a few people, so I really recommend the early morning plan! Since it had been a while since I last swam, I was taken along while floating on a float that the staff had. Even those who are not good at swimming will be fine♪ When I peered into the sea, I was amazed to see so many fish swimming nearby!!! I thought the ocean is truly vast and beautiful! We took photos inside the cave, and after that, we had some free time after exiting the cave♪ The staff gave us fish food, and I had photos taken while feeding the fish♪ After a while, I noticed people from another boat floating around, so be careful not to drift away☆ I really enjoyed snorkeling with the photos taken in the cave and the free time! The duration felt just right, not too long or too short. Next was diving, so we returned by boat to the meeting point. There was a reasonable break time, so we had drinks and went to the restroom, waiting comfortably for the next preparation. For diving, we moved close to the boat again and received an explanation there. The explanation was easy to understand, and I didn’t feel anxious at all; instead, I was eager to swim quickly!! (*^^*) While moving by boat to the diving spot, we received explanations about the tanks and prepared! The staff entered the sea first, so we mimicked them and entered the water! It was initially difficult to maintain parallelism, but I gradually got used to it. Then we went back to the Blue Cave. Unlike during snorkeling, the view of the cave from the deeper part was mystical, and I thought, "Is there still such a beautiful place in Japan?" The weather was clear that day, and the sunlight came in beautifully, making it stunning! After that, we were allowed to swim freely a bit and feed the fish. The staff even made rings with their mouths for us (*^^*) It was amazing! When I looked at the photos later, they turned out beautifully! This was our first experience as a couple, but it made me want to swim again, even if I have to get a license! And someday, if we have children, I hope to go swimming as a family! Thank you for the wonderful memories♪

今回は人生で初めてのダイビング＆シュノーケリングに挑戦しました。朝8時30頃に集合して最初に受け付けをします。その際に手持ちのカメラのSDを預けるか、また新しいSDを購入して写真を撮って貰えるか選べます。ちなみに私たちは購入して写真を撮ってもらいました。その後は水着に着替えて説明を受けます。熱中症予防に最初シャワーを浴びてからスーツに着替えて船まで移動。そして船に乗りいざ！青の洞窟☆☆☆船から青の洞窟まではたしか5〜10分と近いです！最初はシュノーケリング！着いた時にはもう人が結構居たので本当に早朝のプランをオススメします！久しぶりに泳ぐと言う事もあり最初はスタッフが持っている浮き輪でプカプカ浮きながら連れて行ってもらいました笑泳ぎが苦手な人でも大丈夫です♪そして海を覗いてみるとお魚がたくさん近くで泳いでいて感動！！！海って本当に広くて綺麗だなって思いました！洞窟の中で写真を撮ってもらい、その後は洞窟出たら自由時間♪スタッフの方に魚の餌をもらい餌付けしてるところなどを写真に収めてもらいました♪結構時間が経つと違う船に乗って来た人がプカプカ浮いてるので離れないように注意☆シュノーケリングは洞窟で写真を撮って自由時間と結構満喫出来ました！時間も長すぎず短すぎずという感じです。次はダイビングなので、1度また集合した場所まで船で戻ります。休憩時間も程よくあるので飲み物飲んだり御手洗行ったり、次の準備まで余裕を持って待ちました。そしてダイビングはまた船の近くまで移動して、そこで説明を受けます。説明も分かりやすくてそこまで不安な気持ちも無くむしろ早く泳ぎたい！！ってなりました(*^^*)そしてダイビングスポットまで船で移動している間にボンベなどの説明を受けて準備！スタッフの方が最初に海に入るのでそれの真似をし、海へ！並行を保つのが最初は難しいですが徐々に慣れました。そしてまた青の洞窟へ。シュノーケリングの時とは違い深いところからの洞窟の眺めは神秘的でこんな美しいところもまだまだ日本にあったのかと思いました。またこの日は晴天で陽の光も綺麗に入って来たので美しかったです！そしてその後も少し自由に泳がせて貰い魚の餌付け。スタッフの方が口でリングを作ってくださるなど(*^^*)すごかったです！後から写真を見たら綺麗に映ってました！今回は夫婦で初めての経験でしたが、ライセンスを取ってでもまた泳ぎたいと思えました！そしていつか子供もできたら家族で泳ぎに行きたいと思います！楽しい思い出をありがとうございました♪

I participated in a pottery shisa-making experience. I thought it would take about an hour, but before I knew it, over two hours had passed... I was so focused that time flew by. The finished product will be sent to me later, and I'm nervously waiting to see if it turned out well.

If I have the chance again, I would like to make a matching shisa as well! ★

陶器シーサーづくり体験に参加しました。
１時間ぐらいでできるかな？と思っていましたが、気が付くと２時間を超えていました…。
集中していたので、時間が経つのがあっという間でした。
完成品は後日送られてきます。ちゃんとできているのか、ドキドキしながら待っています。

また機会があれば、対となるシーサーも作りたいです★

The steak for the meal was terrible, tough, and inedible. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked and served it well done. I've heard that all the steaks are cooked the same way, but this isn't school lunch. It was the worst. Also, I don't know what language the people around me were speaking, but they were loud and noisy. I can't recommend this place to anyone, and we won't be using it again.

食事のステーキはまずくてかたくて食えない。焼き方も希望を聞きに来ないで、well done
に焼いていた。聞くところによれば焼き方はすべて同じ、ということだが学校のの給食ではない。最低だった。　また、周囲はどこの国の言葉か知らないが大きな声でしゃべりやかましい。
これでは人にも勧められないし、私たちも二度と利用しない。

My wife and I participated together.
We got a bit lost because the meeting point couldn't be pinpointed on the car navigation, but we arrived safely.
My wife is a beginner, having only snorkeled once before and this being her first diving experience, so I was a little worried, but we had a wonderful time without any issues.
The Blue Cave offered different views when diving underwater and snorkeling from above, which was very moving.
I recommend the early morning course.
As the afternoon progresses, the Blue Cave gets crowded, making it hard to move around (laughs).
Even in such a situation, the staff were attentive to their surroundings and kindly assisted us, for which I am grateful.
Unfortunately, part of the video footage taken by the staff was missing.
Since they were carrying many cameras, they probably mixed it up with another participant's camera.
I guess that's just part of the charm.
Thank you for the enjoyable time.

妻と二人で参加しました。
集合場所がカーナビでピンポイント検索できなかったので、ちょっと迷いましたが無事に着くことが出来ました。
妻はこれまでシュノーケリングは1回、ダイビングは初めての初心者なので、ちょっと心配していましたが、何事もなく楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
青の洞窟はダイビングで水中を行くのと、シュノーケリングで海上から行くのでは違う姿を見せてくれてとても感動でした。
お勧めは朝一番のコースです。
午後に成る程、青の洞窟内は人でいっぱいになって身動きが取れなくなりますよ（苦笑
そんな中でも、スタッフの方は周りに気を配り、親切に対応してくださり感謝しています。
残念なのはスタッフさんが撮ってくれたビデオ撮影の一部が入っていなかった事。
沢山のカメラを抱えていたので、別の参加者の方のカメラと間違えてしまったんでしょうね。
御愛嬌といった所でしょうか。
楽しい時間を有難うございました。

We used it on the first day of our family trip. Since our flight arrived in Naha in the afternoon, it was perfect for enjoying Okinawa as the main event of the first day. There was also a live performance of Okinawan folk songs, and we were very satisfied.

家族旅行の初日に利用しました。那覇着の飛行機が午後だったため、初日のメインイベントとしては沖縄も満喫でき、もってこいでした。沖縄民謡のライブもあり、とても満足でした。

My son, who is in the third grade, insisted on choosing this activity. He said if we're going to see fish, we should go early, so we joined the group that meets at 8 AM. The check-in process was a bit cumbersome... I mean, instead of leaving valuables in the car, we had to use lockers inside the office! I was quite anxious about the 36-kilogram helmet and how it would be for the kids underwater, but in the end, it was the best attraction ever! I wanted to dive longer, and my son said he wants to do it again tomorrow! Thank you for the experience at the Dragon Palace!

息子(小学3年生の)たっての希望で、このアクティビティを選びました。やっぱりお魚観るなら早めでしょ～と言うとこで朝8時集合の組に。手続きに多少手間…と言うか貴重品車の中じゃなくてロッカーが事務所内！ 36キロのヘルメット、海中で、子供は…と不安は一杯でしたが結果最高のアトラクションでした！もっと長く潜りたかった、子供は明日やりたい！と言う始末。竜宮城へ、ありがとうございました！

I was able to travel much cheaper than if I had paid for the rental car and facility fees myself. It's quite affordable!

自分でレンタカーや施設料を個人で支払いするより断然安く旅ができました(*^_^*)かなり格安です(*^_^*)

I was anxious about my first diving experience, but with the careful support of the instructors, I was able to enjoy diving very much. Unfortunately, due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to our intended location, but the experience was still very satisfying.

初めてのダイビングで不安でしたが、インストラクターの方々の丁寧なサポートのもと、とても楽しくダイビング出来ました。
台風の影響で残念ながら目的の場所には行けませんでしたが、充分満足できる内容でした。

I participated to finally ride the water buffalo cart. Perhaps due to the large number of participants, we departed on a large boat. The waves were quite rough on the way to Iriomote Island, and I got seasick. After 50 minutes, we arrived and switched to a cruise ship for the jungle cruise. After returning upstream, we transferred to a bus to move to the water buffalo cart boarding area on Yubu Island. Listening to the sound of the sanshin, we saw the hardworking water buffalo pulling a cart. I'm glad I could ride it and that I came here.

On Yubu Island, during our free time, we explored the island until it was time for the return water buffalo cart. The lunch was not bad if you didn't have high expectations, and I was full. It was so hot that the air conditioning was a treat.

From Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, we smoothly traveled on a small high-speed boat. It didn't shake much, and I dozed off a bit.

On Taketomi Island, we took a bus to Hama Beach and collected star sand. Then we rode the water buffalo cart around the island. The water buffalo were more relaxed than I expected.

It was quick to get from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island.

It was a busy tour that covered three islands in one go, but I'm glad I chose this. The temperatures were too high to relax on each island. Since we could only stay a short time on Taketomi Island, I would like to revisit when the weather is milder.

念願の水牛車に乗るために参加しました。
参加人数が多いためか大型船で出発。
西表島への途中たいへん波が荒くて、船酔いしました。
50分で到着後、クルーズ船に乗り換えてジャングルクルーズへ。
川上から戻ってきてバスに乗り換え、由布島への水牛車乗り場へ移動。
三線の音色を聞きながら、まじめにキビキビ働く水牛さんの引く一輪車。
乗れてよかった、来てよかった。
自由行動の由布島。
帰りの水牛車が出る時間まで、島内散策しました。
お昼ご飯は期待しなければ、まずくはないレベルでお腹一杯に。
とにかく暑いのでクーラーがご馳走です。

西表島から竹富島へは小型高速船でスムーズに。
あまり揺れず、ウトウトと寝てしまうほど。

竹富島ではバスで皆治浜へ移動。星の砂を拾いました。
それから水牛車に乗って一周しました。
思っていたより水牛さんたちはのんびりしてました。

竹富島から石垣島へはすぐです。

一気に三島を巡った慌ただしいツアーでしたが、これを選択してよかったです。
気温が高過ぎて、各島でのんびりできる状態ではなかったし。
竹富島には短時間しか滞在できなかったので、もう少し気温が穏やかな時期に再訪したいです。

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and traveling by bus was very easy. It was nice to have the freedom to explore each area. However, as a solo participant, I found it quite awkward that seating was assigned during lunch. I think it would be even better if there were more consideration for solo travelers!

西表島、由布島、竹富島と効率良くまわることができ、バスでの移動もとても楽でした。
各エリアでは自由にまわれたので良かったです。
ただ、私は一人参加でしたがお昼の際に席が決められていたのはとても気まずかったです。
もう少し一人参加の人への配慮があるとなお良いと思いました！

Due to equipment limitations, only five people can enter at the same time. Since there were many of us, we split into three groups. While waiting, we were able to float around wearing life jackets. However, without snorkels or goggles, we could only float. Finally, it was my turn, and after several equalization attempts, I reached the seabed, which was a treasure trove of black and white damselfish. There were hardly any corals, just sandy areas, but I was guided to a rocky spot where clownfish were present. I was able to take some beautiful close-up photos. The photos I took myself didn’t turn out very well, but they are good memories. The time spent getting on and off the boat was about 10 minutes, and the underwater walk was also around 10 minutes. Honestly, I wished I could have seen a bit more, but it was an activity that allowed me to enjoy a safe and comfortable underwater world.

機材の関係上５人まで同時に入ることができる。沢山いたので3グループに分かれて入った。待ち時間はライフジャケットを着てプカプカ浮かぶことができた。ただしシュノーケルもゴーグルもないのでほんとに浮かぶだけである。ようやく自分の番になり、何度も耳抜きをしながら海底に着くと白黒のスズメダイの宝庫。サンゴはほとんどなく、砂地ばかりだが、カクレクマノミのいる岩場を案内してもらった。アップの綺麗な写真を撮ってもらえた。自分で撮らせてもらった写真あまり綺麗に撮れなかったが良い思い出に。船への乗り降りで10分、海中散歩は１０分といったところだろうか。もう少し見たかったというのが正直な気持ちだが、安全で快適な水中世界を堪能できるアクティビティである。

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I didn't have high expectations until boarding, so I was pleasantly surprised in a good way! The cheerful and fun staff, delicious meals, and beautiful sunsets made for unforgettable memories!

大変失礼ですが、乗船するまであまり期待していなかったので、
いい意味で大きく期待を裏切れました！
元気で楽しいスタッフの方と美味しい食事ときれいな夕焼け。
忘れられない思い出になりました！

Since I had experience with snorkeling and introductory diving, I decided to try the marine walk, which seemed easy to do. I was very curious about what was inside the helmet and how the air was supplied. It was interesting. While other groups were diving, I swam around the boat and was able to see a lot of fish.

シュノーケルや体験ダイビングは経験したことがあったので、気軽にできそうなマリンウォークをやってみようと挑戦しました。
ヘルメットの中はどうなっているんだろうとか、空気はどうなって送られてくるのかとか、興味津々。面白かったです。他のグループが潜っている時も、船の周りを泳いだりして、たくさん魚を見ることができました。

Tour participated in:
- Experience diving (Blue Cave)
- Snorkeling (Blue Cave)

Travel style:
Couple

First, we did the experience diving (Blue Cave). The male instructor made a very good impression with his thorough explanations. He was also very supportive towards my girlfriend, who was diving for the first time, helping her feel at ease. Once we entered the long-awaited Blue Cave, he held our hands, allowing us to enjoy it together. We were able to take plenty of photos. I would have been even happier if we could have taken beautiful pictures with a DSLR. When we fed the fish underwater, we were surrounded by many fish, which was an incredibly moving experience.

Next, we headed back to the Blue Cave for snorkeling. Unfortunately, the wait time was very long due to the Obon season, but we were able to enjoy it in a different way than diving. However, if you've already done the diving, it might be worth considering other plans.

It seemed that even children were having fun participating, so I think anyone can enjoy it easily. Since we moved by boat, there might be some rocking, so I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

参加したツアー
・体験ダイビング（青の洞窟）
・シュノーケル（青の洞窟）

利用スタイル
カップル

　まず最初に、体験ダイビング（青の洞窟）をしました。インストラクターの男性が非常に丁寧な説明で好印象でした。またダイビング初体験の彼女に対して、不安がなくなるように、しっかり接していただけたことも非常に助かりました。念願の青の洞窟に入ってからは、手を引いてくださり、2人で楽しむことが出来ました。写真もしっかり取れていました。一眼などの綺麗な写真であれば、もっと嬉しかったです。海中で魚にエサをやった際には、多くの魚に囲まれ、非常に感動的な体験が出来ました。

　次に、シュノーケルで再び青の洞窟に向かいました。お盆シーズンということで待ち時間が非常に長いのは残念でしたが、ダイビングとは違う形で楽しむことが出来ました。ただ、ダイビングで既に行っている場合には、他のプランでも良いかもしれません。
　
　子供でも楽しく参加していたようなので、誰でも気軽に楽しめるかと思います。船で移動するため、揺れる場合があるので、酔い止めは必須かと思います。

Even without a car, I was able to fully enjoy and visit popular tourist spots in Okinawa in just one day! I was happy to go to Kouri Island, American Village, and the Churaumi Aquarium. I'm not great at planning a detailed schedule, but I recommend it for those who want to make the most of their time!

車がなくても、沖縄の人気の観光場所を１日で思う存分、欲張って回ることが出来ました！！古宇利島とアメリカンビレッジ、美ら海水族館に行けるのがうれしかったです。スケジュールを細かく決めるのが苦手だけど、充実したい人はおすすめです！！

I participated in a snorkeling and diving tour at the Blue Cave. Since it was August, there were a lot of people, but I was able to enjoy the Blue Cave thoroughly because I went snorkeling early in the morning!

After snorkeling, we returned to the shop to have some tea and take a break, and then we went back into the sea, which allowed us to enjoy the activities without exhausting ourselves. The diving took place later in the morning, but there were fewer people than during snorkeling, so I could swim leisurely along the seabed.

Going to the Blue Cave for diving after snorkeling offered a different view. Depending on the time of day, we entered a darker part of the cave, but looking back at the Blue Cave from there was incredibly beautiful. I'm glad I did both snorkeling and diving!

For snorkeling, there was one staff member for every eight people. For diving, there was one staff member for every two people, who provided fun and thorough explanations and support, making it easy for first-timers to participate with confidence.

It’s about a 200-meter walk from the shop to the boat, but since the boat takes you close to the Blue Cave, that was appreciated. Climbing the slope after snorkeling and diving seemed tough.

The shop has showers and benches, but it was crowded and hard to use them, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was very satisfied overall.

青の洞窟のシュノーケリング→ダイビングのツアーに参加しました。
8月に入っていたので、とても人が多かったのですが、朝の早い時間にシュノーケリングができたので、しっかり青の洞窟を堪能することができました！
シュノーケリングからダイビングまでは、一旦お店に戻ってお茶をのんだりして休憩することができ、その後再び海に入ったので、体力的にも無理なく楽しむことができました。
ダイビングは午前の遅い時間になっていましたが、シュノーケリングほど、人がいないので、海底をゆったり泳ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングをした後にダイビングで青の洞窟に行くとまた違った景色が見れました。時間帯にもよるのかもしれませんが、暗い洞窟の中に少しはいるのですが、そこから振り返ってみる青の洞窟はとってもきれいでした。
シュノーケリングもダイビングもどっちもやって良かったです！
シュノーケリングには、8人に1人のスタッフさん。
ダイビングでは2人に1人のスタッフさんが付いてくださって、楽しくもしっかり説明やサポートをしてくださったので、ダイビングが初めてでも安心して参加することができました。
お店から船までは200メートルほど歩きますが、青の洞窟の近くまで船で行くので、その点もありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングやダイビングをした後に坂を登って行くのは大変そうでした。

お店にシャワーやベンチなどもあるのですが、混んでいて、なかなか使えなかったので、そこが少し残念でしたが、後はとても満足です。

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I chose this tour that includes transportation from the hotel. There was plenty of time, and with the entrance ticket included, the price was a great deal. The guide was friendly and provided thorough explanations. There were several foreign guests, but thanks to the English notices about the meeting time posted in a few places, we were always able to depart on time. Thank you very much for a wonderful trip.

美ら海水族館に行ってみたくて、ホテルから送迎があるこのツアーを選びました。
時間もたっぷりあり、入場券付きでこのお値段はお得です。ガイドさんも感じがよく、説明も丁寧でした。外国人のお客様も何組かいらっしゃいましたが集合時間の注意を何箇所かに英語で掲示していたせいか、いつも時間通りに出発できました。楽しい旅行を本当にありがとうございました。

There are several other places that offer mangrove kayak tours, but I think this one has the best access. However, the scenery might be slightly inferior compared to others. Additionally, due to the tides, other locations seem to have restrictions on start times depending on the day, but here the schedule was quite flexible and easy to arrange. Overall, I think it's a well-balanced tour. The tour guide, who resembled Koki Kameda, provided various explanations and made it enjoyable. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.

他にもいくつかマングローブカヤックツアーを行っている所がありますが、アクセス面では一番いいと思います。その分景観などは他のものと比べるとやや劣るかもしれません。また、潮の満ち引きの関係とかで、他の場所だと日によってスタート時間に制限があるようですが、ここは結構融通が効いてスケジュールが組みやすかったです。全体的にはバランスの取れたツアーだと思います。亀田興毅似のツアーガイドさんが色々と説明してくれて楽しめました。防水のカメラを持って行くといいと思います。

We enjoyed kayaking on the Hija River. For us, a couple with good stamina, the distance was a bit short, which was somewhat unsatisfying, but we had fun playing around the Naha area and it was a delightful time.

比謝川でのカヤックを楽しみました。体力のある我々夫婦には、距離が短く、その点はモノ足りませんでしたが、那覇付近で遊べたし、楽しいひと時でした。

It was the best sunset I've ever seen! The staff member was cheerful and fun, and the photos they took were amazing! I plan to participate again next year!

今まで見た夕焼けの中で最高の夕焼けでした！スタッフのお兄さんも陽気で楽しく、撮っていただいた写真も最高でした！また来年も参加しようと思います！

It seems that various companies are approaching the Blue Cave. As a result, there is a huge traffic jam inside the cave. To enter the cave, you disembark about 50 meters before and everyone grabs onto a float to get to the cave... well, it's quite hectic. The sea along the way is very beautiful, but you have to hurry to get to the cave. If you fall behind, you will be scolded to hurry up without mercy.

Even upon arriving at the cave, there is a big traffic jam, resembling a crowded train. Well, that can't be helped... but you are constantly rushed.

The photo spot is only on the left side of the exit. Each tour company uses this spot in turn. After finishing, you return near the boat and play with some fish before wrapping up. But the sea is beautiful, with many small schools of fish. It's not often you get to see this scenery while snorkeling. In that sense, it's a spot you should visit at least once.

Good points:
- It was incredibly beautiful.
- There was no waste of time from check-in to disbanding.
- The point is very close.

Points to note for those going:
- The parking lot is hard to find, so please simulate it in advance.
- You should be able to swim a little... it can be quite tough otherwise.
- You can buy an SD card on-site (8GB for 1000 yen).

色んな会社から、青の洞窟にアプロローチしているようです。
よって洞窟内は大渋滞ｗ
洞窟の中に行くのには50メートルぐらい手前に下船して
皆でフロートに捕まって洞窟まで行きますが・・・
まぁ慌ただしいです・・。
途中の海の中は非常に綺麗ですが・・大急ぎで洞窟に行かなければならないのですｗ
遅れようものなら容赦なく早く来いと叱られます。

洞窟に到着しても、大渋滞
満員電車のような状態です。
まぁそれは仕方ないんですが・・
とにかく急かされます

写真のポイントは出口の左側の一択
ここを各ツアー社ごとに順番に使用します
終わったら船の近くに戻り、少し魚と戯れて終わりです
でも海はきれいです
小さな魚の大群も多くいます
なかなかシュノーケリングでこの景色を見ることは出来ません。
そういう意味では一度は行って欲しいポイントです。

良かった点
・とにかく綺麗でした
・受付から解散まで無駄はありません
・ポイントが非常に近い

これから行く人の注意点
・駐車場がわかりにくいです、事前になんとなくシュミレーションして下さい。
・少しは泳げないと・・結構きついと思います
・SDカードは現地でも買えます（８GB　1000円）

I was hesitant to go to the remote island due to concerns about the weather, but I decided to go for it. On the first day of my stay in Ishigaki Island, I took the first flight in the morning, dropped my luggage at the hotel, and headed straight to Taketomi Island. The weather was sunny with occasional showers.

I chose the rental bicycle plan this time, and I think it was a good choice given that we had just under four hours of stay. We were able to cover most of the recommended course from the rental bike shop and had enough time at the points of interest. For those with a longer stay, I think choosing both the water buffalo cart and the rental bicycle would be good, but if you have to choose one, the rental bicycle is definitely recommended. The range of activities is vastly different.

Among the places we visited, the view from Nishi Sanchashi was the best, and it was very relaxing. There were some sandy paths that were a bit difficult to ride on, but it wasn't too bothersome. The hills were fewer than I had researched, which was nice. However, cycling during the day at this time of year is quite hot, so it's important to stay hydrated.

When returning the rental bicycle, we ended up waiting quite a while for the shuttle bus to the port, possibly because it was a busy time. It might be safer to return a little earlier than the designated time from the shop. Since our hotel was a bit far from the remote island terminal, the shuttle bus to the hotel was very helpful.

With the shuttle bus, round-trip ferry fare, and rental bicycle all included at this price, and the freedom to move around during our stay, I highly recommend this optional tour.

離島は天気が心配のため、行くのをためらっていましたが、思い切って行ってきました。
石垣島滞在初日に朝一の飛行機に乗り、ホテルに荷物を預け、竹富島に直行。
天気は晴れ時々スコールでした。
レンタサイクルプランを今回は選択しましたが、滞在時間4時間弱ではその選択は良かったと思います。レンタサイクル屋さんのおすすめコースを概ね回ることができ、ポイントでもそこそこ時間をとることができました。
滞在時間が長い方は水牛車とレンタサイクルの両方をチョイスするのも良いと思いますが、どちらかを選択するのであれば、レンタサイクルの方が断然お奨めですね。行動範囲が断然違います。
廻った中では、西桟橋からの景色が一番良く、のんびりできました。
所々砂交じりの道があり、走りづらいところもありましたが、気になるほどではありません。
坂道も下調べどおり少なかったのでよかったです。
ただ、この時期のお昼に自転車は暑いですね、水分補給だけはしっかりしないと大変です。
レンタサイクル返却時はちょうど混み合う時間帯だったためか、港までの送迎バスを結構待つ形となりましたので、お店の指定時間よりも少し前に戻った方が安心かもしれません。
滞在ホテルが離島ターミナルから少し離れた場所だったので、帰りは送迎バスでホテルまで送っていただき大変助かりました。
送迎バス＋往復船代＋レンタサイクルでこの金額でかつ滞在時間中は自由に行動でき、滞在時間も自分たちで決めることができるので、このオプショナルツアーはおすすめです。

The amount of BBQ meat was so much that I couldn't finish it, but it was really delicious! ☆

Although I couldn't see many stars, it was a very luxurious dinner, and I enjoyed it (^ー^)

BBQのお肉の量が食べきれないほどでしたがすごく美味しかったです☆

星はあまり見えなかったですがすごく豪華なディナーで良かったです(^ー^)
