All Reviews for 浮潛（シュノーケリング）

I visited the Blue Cave for the first time, and it was very beautiful! I thought it might be crowded during the second half of Golden Week, but I chose the 7 AM option, which turned out to be a great decision. Fortunately, there were few people, and the Blue Cave felt like a private experience! I was able to take a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory! There were also many fish, which was great. I would love to participate again! Thank you!

初めて青の洞窟来ました、とても綺麗でした！
ゴールデンウィーク後半で混んでいるかなと思っていましたが、朝7時からのを選択したのが良くとても運がいいことに人が少なく青の洞窟が貸切状態でした！
たくさん写真も撮っていただきとてもいい思い出になりました！
魚も沢山いて良かったです
また参加したいです！ありがとうございました

We went to the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island to celebrate my partner's birthday. It was my first time doing a SUP tour and snorkeling, and the weather was perfect with a clear blue sea, which was amazing. During snorkeling, our guide, Arai, shared knowledge about Ishigaki Island on the bus ride and provided detailed explanations of the equipment in the water. He also took beautiful photos of us, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was fantastic. However, I did feel a bit seasick while diving, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to bring some medication.

During the SUP tour, we had a great time on the water thanks to our cheerful coach, Yusuke. The "Nice in!" cheers when we fell into the water were the best! We even sang a birthday song together on the water, which made my partner very happy. We took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

今回パートナーのBirthdayを祝うために石垣島の綺麗な海に行きました。SUPツアーとシュノーケリングを初めてやったのですが、よく晴れていて海も青く透きとおり最高でした。シュノーケリングではガイドの新井さんが行きのバスで石垣島の知識など説明し、海では丁寧に道具の説明、海での写真を綺麗に撮っていただき、またウミガメにも遭遇できてとても良かったです。ただ潜ってる最中にちょっと酔ってしまい酔いやすい人は酔いどめ必要かも。SUPツアーでは明るいユウスケさんのコーチングで海の上を楽しく過ごせました。途中何度も海に落ちてしまったときなどナイスイン！の掛け声最高です。また海の上でみんなでBirthdayソングを歌ってくれてこんなにも楽しい時間を過ごせるなんてパートナーもとても喜んでいました。写真も沢山撮って頂き最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

I had a rich experience even though it was just a half-day course! I got to see beautiful coral, feed the fish, and even see turtles. I recommend it for those who have a short stay and want to make the most of their last day.

半日コースなのに濃厚な時間が過ごせました！
美しい珊瑚、お魚の餌やり、亀も見れました。
滞在日数が少ない、最終日まで遊び倒したい方にオススメです。

I only went snorkeling and didn't participate in any optional tours, but miraculously, a very large sea turtle swam right up to the boat. It was easy to see from the boat, so I quickly jumped into the water and waved at the turtle, which swam over to me. It was a very friendly turtle, and I was able to gently touch it! I was moved by the colorful fish and the beautiful sea! The staff provided very careful and thorough support, so I felt safe in the water. Thank you so much! I made the best memories! ♪

シュノーケリングだけで、オプションツアーには参加しなかったのですが、奇跡的に、とっても大きなウミガメさんが船まで泳いで来てくれました。船から良く見えるので、直ぐに海に入りウミガメに手を振ると私の方へ泳いで来てくれる、とても人慣れたウミガメさん、そっと触れる事が出来ました！
色とりどりの魚達や綺麗な海に感動！
スタッフさんがとても丁寧に抜かりなくサポートしてくれるので、海でも安心でした。本当にありがとうございます！
最高の思い出が出来ました♪

I experienced snorkeling and sea kayaking this time. In conclusion, I had a very meaningful time and a wonderful experience by participating. The staff who guided us were attentive to our safety, asking if we were tired or okay, while providing various lectures since it was our first time. They also took photos as an optional service, ensuring that participants had a great time.

I think that participatory experiences can sometimes feel like a conveyor belt, but the guide this time was different. They included surprises, such as points of interest that were truly moving, making it enjoyable. It was a wonderful experience that made me want to come back.

The flow of the tour started with changing clothes, followed by a kayaking lecture. We then got into the kayak and paddled to the cave. After a short break near the cave, we finally entered it. Although I learned how to swim during the breaks and the actual experience, I surprisingly got used to it. The time spent swimming inside the cave was just under an hour.

Since it was during a holiday, it was a bit crowded, but it wasn't overwhelming, and we could move around each other. The three-hour duration felt short, but after kayaking back and snorkeling, I felt a bit tired, perhaps from the sense of relief at the end. So, I think it was just the right amount of time.

今回シュノーケリングとシーカヤックを体験しました。
結論から、参加できてとても有意義な時間と素敵な体験を経験することができました。
ガイドしていただいたスタッフの方は、初めて参加する私たちに色んなレクチャーをしながら、疲れてませんか？大丈夫ですか？と安全にもとても気を配ってくださり、合間にオプションで依頼した写真を撮ってくれて、参加者をしっかりと楽しませてくれていました。
こうした参加型の体験は流れ作業になってしまうところもあると思いますが、今回ガイドしてれた方はそうしたことがなく、感動する場所のポイントなどサプライズを入れて楽しむことができました。
それは、また来たいと思える素晴らしいものでした。

ツアーの流れは、着替えてからカヤックのレクチャーを受け、カヤックに乗って、洞窟まで漕いでいきます。洞窟近くで少し休みいよいよ洞窟内へ。泳ぎ方も休みの間＋本番で覚えながらでしたが、不思議と慣れてきます。
洞窟内で泳ぐ時間は1時間弱くらい。
連休中ということもあり、少し混んではいましたが芋洗い状態ではなく、お互い行き来はできる状態ではありました。
3時間という時間は短く感じますが、実際往復カヤックとシュノーケリングをすると、終わった時に安心感からか少し疲れます。
なのでちょうどいい時間だと思います。

It was fun to be surrounded by many fish before reaching the Blue Cave. Inside the cave, I was moved by the indescribably beautiful blue color. There was a 6-year-old child with us, but the guide provided great support, making it possible for us to enjoy the experience, which was wonderful.

青の洞窟にたどり着くまでも、たくさんの魚に囲まれてたのしかったです。そして、洞窟ではなんとも言えないきれい青をみることができて、感動しました。
6才の子供もいましたが、ガイドさんが、しっかり
フォローしてくださり頑張ることができて、とても良かったです。

I participated during Golden Week. Despite the strong winds and cloudy skies, the event went ahead, and I experienced sea kayaking and snorkeling in the Blue Cave. Since we went to the Blue Cave first thing in the morning, we were lucky to find it less crowded even during Golden Week! I also dive, but the snorkeling was incredibly beautiful and amazing! My partner, who was snorkeling for the first time, said they want to go again. The guide was kind and made it safe and comfortable for beginners, while still allowing us to enjoy the beautiful waters of Okinawa. Wearing a wetsuit kept us warm, and there was no worry about sinking, haha.

I brought my GoPro, but you can also sign up for a photo package. They took a lot of pictures, and you get all the data, so I highly recommend it.

ＧＷに参加しました。やや強風と曇り空でしたが決行します、との事でシーカヤックと青の洞窟シュノーケルを体験。青の洞窟は朝イチで行ったため、ＧＷにも関わらず人が少なくラッキーでした!!当方ダイビングもしますが、シュノーケルでもとってもキレイで最高!! シュノーケル初体験の相方もまた行きたいという程で、ガイドさんも優しく初心者にも安心安全、でも沖縄の海をとっても楽しめるプランです。ウエットスーツ着用のため寒くないし、沈む心配もありません笑
GoPro持参しましたが、写真撮影プランも申し込めます。たくさん写真撮ってくれて、データも全て貰えるのでお勧めです。

I was worried about what would happen if the trip was canceled due to bad weather, but the guide provided appropriate support, allowing me to enjoy my first trip to Okinawa and Ishigaki Island and create wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

天候悪い中、中止になったらどうしようかと思っていたけど、ガイドさんが適切な対応をして下さり、初の沖縄、石垣島旅行を楽しみ、最高の思い出を作る事が出来ました。有難う御座います。

Each group is assigned one instructor. We had Erika as our instructor! She was very considerate of her, as she was not very experienced at swimming, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a careful and fun manner. The Blue Cave was also incredibly beautiful, making it a great experience! Next time, I would like to try diving!

1組につき1人、インストラクターの方がついてくださいます。
私たちはエリカさんにご担当いただきました！
泳ぎが不慣れな彼女にも気を使っていただきながら、丁寧かつ楽しく、シュノーケルを楽しめました。
青の洞窟もとっっっても綺麗で良い体験になりました！
次回はダイビングに挑戦したいと思います！

We participated in this tour to celebrate my father's retirement! It was his first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but thanks to the thorough instruction, my 65-year-old father was able to enjoy it. He was so happy to have created a lifelong memory, and I'm glad we joined!

父親の定年退職のお祝い旅行でこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！初めてのSUPでしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしていただいたおかげで65歳の父でも楽しめたようです^^
一生の思い出になったと喜んでもらえて、参加して良かったです♪

- Canoeing
Many people were doing SUP, but my partner and I enjoyed it together in a two-person canoe. The weather was nice, and it felt great. We took a lot of photos with the beautiful sea in the background.

- Snorkeling
Due to rough seas, we didn't go to the Blue Cave but instead held the event at Okasaki Beach. We were able to see various fish, corals, and even sea turtles, making it a wonderful day. It had been about 20 years since I last swam, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea safely and happily. I got a bit seasick from overeating at lunch, so it's better to eat lightly before snorkeling (even though the guide had warned us in advance...).

・カヌー
多くの方がSUPでしたが恋人と共に２人乗りで楽しみました。天気も良くとても気持ちかったです。綺麗な海をバックにたくさん写真を撮って頂きました。

・シュノーケル
海が荒れていたため青の洞窟でなく大崎ビーチでの開催でした。
様々なお魚、サンゴだけでなくウミガメとも会うことができ、素敵な一日となりました。
泳ぐのは20年ぶりぐらいでしたが、安全かつ楽しく綺麗な海を楽しめました。
昼食を食べ過ぎたせいで多少波酔いをしてしまったのでシュノーケル前は控えめにした方が良いです（ガイドさんが事前に伝えてくれていたのに…）

I had booked a similar tour with another company, but it was canceled due to poor sea conditions, so I made a last-minute reservation here. You get free fish food, so you can see fish the entire time while snorkeling. I added the sea turtle exploration tour as an option, and I was able to see them, which made me very satisfied! The staff were friendly and lent us things like anti-fog spray frequently.

*Note: The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must.
*The shower is in a place where everyone can see, so you can't wash properly. After the tour, we went to a nearby hot spring.

他社で似たようなツアーを予約していたところ、海況不良で欠航になってしまい、ダメ元で急遽予約しました。
魚の餌が無料で貰えるので、シュノーケル中ずっと魚が観れます。
ウミガメ探索ツアーをオプションで付け、無事に観ることができて大満足です！
スタッフさんも気さくで、くもり止めなどもこまめに貸していただけます。

※船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは必須です。
※シャワーは全員から丸見えの場所にあるのでしっかり洗うことはできません。私達はツアー解散後、近くの温泉に行きました。

The guide conducted a fun tour at a good pace. They took many photos, and I was able to spend a pleasant time. It seems we were blessed with good weather and conditions; the guide was private, the sea was clear, and I was surrounded by many fish. I also enjoyed the Blue Cave and encountered scenery that I will never forget. I am truly grateful for the nature of the Ryukyu Islands and the guide. I would love to visit again.

ガイドさん、テンポ良く楽しいツアーを進めていただきました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、心地良い時間を過ごせました。
天気やコンディションにも恵まれたようで、ガイドさんは貸切、海の透明度もあり、たくさんの魚たちに囲まれて、青の洞窟も満喫でき、一生忘れる事がない風景に出会えました。
琉球の自然たちとガイドさん、本当に感謝感謝です。また訪れたいと思います。

I had been wanting to experience the Kayaking at Kabira Bay in Ishigaki Island! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and it wasn't the stunning Kabira Blue condition, but I had a lot of fun and was very satisfied! The wind was stronger than I expected, making it a bit challenging, but our guide was very attentive and ensured we could enjoy it safely. There was even an incident where my friend's hat flew away due to the strong wind... (The guide helped retrieve it. If you're wearing a hat, make sure it has a secure strap so it doesn't get blown away!) Additionally, the guide shared some great gourmet recommendations and information about firefly tours, which was very helpful. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island, I would like to ask for PiPi again. Thank you very much!

石垣島でぜひ体験したいと思っていた川平湾シーカヤック！あいにくの曇り空で、見事な川平ブルーというコンディションではありませんでしたが、とっても楽しくて満足でした！思った以上に風が強く少し大変でしだが、ガイドさんがしっかり対応してくださり安全に楽しむことができました。強風で友人の帽子が飛ばされてしまうアクシデントも。。(ガイドさんが回収してくれました。帽子をかぶっていくときは、飛ばされないようにしっかり紐付きのものを！)また、ガイドさんからおすすめのグルメ情報やホタルツアーについてもご紹介いただいたりと、とってもお世話になりました。また次回、石垣島に行くときはPiPiさんにお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Blue Cave tour. My son has snorkeled a few times before, but he said he didn't like the salty sea water. He was anxious about whether he could dive properly this time, but the instructor was very kind, and in the end, he was able to dive on his own! We were both very satisfied with being able to feed the fish as well!

Although the seawater was still cold, I was very grateful that they prepared warm water for us when we got back on the boat. I would love to be guided to the beautiful sea again the next time I come to Okinawa!

青の洞窟ツアーに参加しました。
息子はこれまでも何度かシュノーケルはしたことがありますが、海の水がしょっぱいと言って苦手でした。今回もちゃんと潜れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても優しく接してくださり、最後には自分だけで潜ることができました♩
魚へのエサやりもできて、親子共に大満足でした！

また海水がまだ冷たい時期でしたが、船に上がったときに温水を準備してくださっていたことがとてもありがたかったです。
次回沖縄に来るときも綺麗な海を案内していただきたいです♩

Thank you for the other day! My two friends and I participated and had a very fulfilling day. We were blessed with good weather, and the snorkeling was especially impressive! The instructor was very kind and took many photos for us, which made us very satisfied! However, I think it would have been better to take a break near Kabira Bay instead of returning to the island terminal for lunch. If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would like to use your services once more!

先日はありがとうございました！友達二人で参加させていただき、とても充実した1日を過ごすことができました。天候にも恵まれ、特にシュノーケルが感動しました！インストラクターの方も大変親切に接していただき、写真もたくさん撮ってもらい、大満足です！ただ、昼休憩の際は一旦、離島ターミナルに戻ってとるため、川平湾付近での休憩であればより良かったと思います。また石垣島に行く機会があれば再度利用しようと思います！

The guide was kind and very polite. I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Thanks to that, I have wonderful memories, and I am grateful. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが親切でとても丁寧な方でした。
安心してツアーに参加できました。
お陰様でとても楽しい思い出ができて感謝しています。ありがとうございました

On March 30, I experienced snorkeling. Although the Blue Cave was closed due to strong winds, we snorkeled at a beach about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot at Manza Beach. My two older daughters were initially scared of the cold water, but our instructor, Mr. Kaneshiro, cheerfully encouraged them, saying, "Don't worry! I'm the coldest one here!" and they were able to dive safely. At first, the water was cold, but as we swam among the many fish, I stopped noticing it. Underwater, he explained about the fish, tried to catch an octopus, and showed us where to find clownfish. Due to the season, there were few people, allowing us to take our time enjoying the beautiful sea. He also took many photos and handed them to us on the spot, which made me very happy to see them right away. (One thing to note, it was mentioned that towels were free, but since we brought our own, I'm not sure if they were available for borrowing.)

3月30日にシュノーケルを体験しました。
風が強く青の洞窟はクローズしていましたが、眞栄田岬の駐車場から歩いて5分程のビーチでシュノーケルしました。
海の冷たさに怯えていた上の娘2人でしたが、インストラクターの金城さんが明るく『大丈夫！僕が1番寒がりだから！』と励まされ、無事に潜ることができました。
正面、最初は海が冷たかったですが、たくさんお魚がいる中を泳いでいたら気にならなくなりました。
海の中では、お魚について説明してくれたり、タコを捕まえようとしてくれたり、クマノミの場所も教えてくれました。時期のせいで人も少なく、キレイな海の中をゆっくり見ることができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、その場で渡してくれたので、すぐに見ることができ嬉しかったです。
(一点だけ、タオルは無料とありましてが、持っていったので借りることは無く、借りられたかも不明です。)

It exceeded my expectations!
Both adults and children were very satisfied.
The sea kayaking adventure followed by snorkeling in the Blue Cave is a must-do.

Akki, who was in charge, was amazing.
The kids kept saying "Akki, Akki" even after it was over.

Highly recommended!!
If you're going to the Blue Cave, this is the place.
The snorkeling after sea kayaking is a must!

想像を上回ってくれた！
大人も子供も大満足
シーカヤックで冒険、そこからの青の洞窟シュノーケルは絶対やるべき

担当してくれたアッキー最高
子供は終わった後もアッキーアッキー言い続けてた

超オススメ！！
青の洞窟ならここ
シーカヤックからのシュノーケル絶対

It was my first time participating in sea kayaking, but I had a great time with Yo-chan's guidance! Thank you so much!!

初めてのシーカヤック参加でしたがようちゃんのガイドでめっちゃ楽しく過ごせました！ありがとうございます！！

Due to the influence of the wind, we changed from SUP at Kawahira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave to mangrove SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave in Miyara River, but it turned out to be a very fulfilling day where we could fully enjoy the nature of the mangroves and the sea of Ishigaki Island.

I was also thrilled to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was a lucky experience.

The guides were all very kind and provided detailed explanations, making it enjoyable even for someone participating alone. I was also very grateful for the many photos they took of me, which I wouldn’t have been able to capture myself.

If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour once more. It became a wonderful memory of Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much for a fun day!

風の影響で川平湾のSUPと青の洞窟のシュノーケリングから宮良川でのマングローブSUPと青の洞窟のシュノーケリングに変更になりましたが、結果的にマングローブの自然や石垣島の海を満喫できたとても充実した1日になりました。
シュノーケリングでは、運良くウミガメが見られたことにも感動しました。

ガイドの方が皆さん親切で説明も詳しくしてくださったので1人参加でもとても楽しめました。
自分ではなかなか撮られないような写真をたくさん撮ってもらい、共有してもらえたのもとてもありがたかったです。

また石垣島に来る機会があれば、またぜひ参加させていただきたいツアーでした。
石垣島のいい思い出になりました。
楽しい1日を、どうもありがとうございました！

I received polite answers to my questions before applying, which made me feel at ease about participating. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but the veteran guide from my hometown was great at explaining things, and our conversations were enjoyable. I was able to see plenty of fish up close. Every time I look at the photos I received on the way back, I remember the experience. I hope that next time I can finally go to the Blue Cave!

申し込み前の質問にも丁寧な回答をして頂き安心して参加出来ました。
　あいにくお天気悪く青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが同郷のベテランのガイドさんで説明も上手、お話しも楽しくお魚もいっぱい近くで見れました。
　帰りに頂いた写真を見る度に思い出しています。
　次回は今度こそ青の洞窟行けますように❗️

On our first trip to Ishigaki with my daughter, we decided to book a tour that included snorkeling at the Blue Cave and stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. On the day of the tour, the wind was strong, and we ended up snorkeling at a different location instead of the Blue Cave. However, our guide explained a lot and we were able to see many fish, which made for a fun time.

In the afternoon, the stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay was changed to mangrove paddleboarding, and since we really wanted to do the Kabira Bay paddleboarding, we were able to cancel it for free. During that time, the guide also recommended some great shops and experiences, which was really helpful.

I would love to try again when I go back to Ishigaki. Thank you!

娘と初めての石垣旅行で、色々あるツアーから川平湾supと青の洞窟シュノーケルに決め予約しました。当日は風が強く、青の洞窟シュノーケルではなく別の場所でのシュノーケルになりましたが、ガイドさんが色々説明してくれ沢山の魚が見れて楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。午後からの川平湾supはマングローブsupに変更になり川平湾supがしたかったので無料キャンセルしていただきました。そのおりガイドさんからおすすめのお店や体験など教えてもらえすごく良かったです。
また石垣島に行く時はリベンジしたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

It was a cloudy day, so I was worried, but as the guide said, "The sea conditions are excellent today," the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and I saw many lovely fish—it was the best time! Our guide, Mr. Kinjo, was very kind and taught us with great care, and the recommended lunch spot was really delicious! If I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely rely on you! ♡

曇りの日だったので心配してましたがガイドさんが「海の状態は今日は最高ですよー」と言ってた通り、青の洞窟も最高に綺麗で、綺麗な魚も沢山見れて最高の時間でした！ガイドのキンジョウさんはとても優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、オススメのランチのお店もすごく美味しかった！沖縄に来たらぜひまたお世話になります♡

In the morning, I went snorkeling at the Blue Cave, and in the afternoon, I participated in a stand-up paddleboarding tour at Kabira Bay, which was a lot of fun. The guide was kind and provided enjoyable instruction.

Additionally, there was about a 1.5-hour lunch break, during which I could take a shower, which I personally found very nice! The weather wasn't great, and the schedule changed a few times, but the guide was flexible and managed to keep the tour on track, resulting in a very enjoyable experience.

Snorkeling at the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful and moving. I was a beginner at stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, but I received careful instruction and was able to enjoy the experience! I felt a bit disappointed thinking that it could have been even better if the weather had been nice.

One concern I had was that the return transportation was grouped with other tour guests, and since they drop everyone off at their respective hotels or destinations, the last person took quite a while to get back. If you have plans afterward, it might be better to allow for some extra time in your schedule.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable and satisfying experience.

午前中青の洞窟でシュノーケリング、午後は川平湾でサップのツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方も優しく楽しくご指導いただきました。
また、お昼休憩が約1.5時間あり、合間の時間にシャワーを浴びる事ができ、個人的にはとても良かったです！
天候はあまり優れない感じで、日程が二転三転しまそたが、ガイドの方に臨機応変にご対応いただき、結果的には予定通りの日程でとても楽しいツアーになりました。
青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングはとても綺麗で感動しました。
川平湾でのサップは初心者でしたが丁寧に指導いただき、気持ちよく体験する事ができました！
天気が良ければもっと最高だったのかなと思うと少し残念でした…
一つ懸念点があるとしたら帰りの送迎がツアー客でまとまっており、各々のホテルや目的地に送り届けるので最後の人はかなり遅くなってしまうので次の予定を組んでいる場合は余裕をもった日程の方がいいのかなと思いました。
全体的にはとても楽しく満足のいく体験となりました。

We participated for the first time as a family of three. It was my child's first kayaking experience, and a kind staff member taught us how to paddle.

Although it was a bit windy that day, we paddled hard while enjoying the views of Kabira Bay, peeking into the water, and admiring the sea and coastline. It was a fun experience.

We also got off the kayak to explore and learned about the island and the fish. My child was very happy.

Next time, I hope to come on a nice day. Thank you very much.

家族3人ではじめて参加しました。
子どもははじめてのカヤック体験でしたが親切にお兄さんが教えてくれました。

当日は風が強めでしたが一生懸命にカヤックを漕ぎながら、川平湾の景色を見たり、海の中を覗いたり海や海岸線を見たり、楽しい体験でした。

途中でカヤックから降りて散策をして島のことや魚のことを話していただきました。子どもも喜んでました。

今度は天気が良い日にまた来たいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay. It was the best weather during my stay, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. At first, I was a bit hesitant with the SUP, but once I got used to it, I was able to stand up and glide smoothly, which was a lot of fun.

After having lunch together, we gathered again and went snorkeling in the afternoon. The water was a bit cold, but I was amazed by the number of fish I saw and the clarity of the water. Both activities were truly wonderful experiences. They also sent me about 160 photos, which became great memories. Thank you very much!

午前中に川平湾でSUPをしました。滞在中で1番いい天気で海がめちゃくちゃきれいでした。SUPは最初おそるおそるでしたが、慣れてきたら立てて、スイスイと楽しかったです。
いったんお昼を食べて最集合して、午後からシュノーケリングをしました。
少し水が冷たかったですが、魚もたくさん見えて、透明度に感動しました。どちらもすごく素敵な体験でした。写真も160枚ぐらい送ってくださり、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

This time, due to my circumstances, I only participated in the canoe experience at Kabira Bay. At first, I was worried about what would happen if I fell into the sea from the canoe, but the canoe was stable, and I was able to enjoy it without any concerns. We slowly paddled through the transparent waters of Kabira Bay, sometimes picking up speed and going deep into the bay. We took a short break at a small beach that couldn't be reached from land. The guide took many photos for us. I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Kabira Bay. My wife, who was scared because she can't swim, was very satisfied and said she wanted to go canoeing more.

By the way, the day after the canoe experience, we also did SUP and canyoning with the same company, PiPi, on Iriomote Island! That was amazing too. Now that I'm back home, I'm planning when to go to Ishigaki Island next time.

今回は私の都合で川平湾のカヌー体験だけになりました。
最初はカヌーから海に落ちたら、どうしようと不安でしたけれどカヌーは安定していてまったく心配なく楽しめました。
川平湾の透き通る海をゆっくりと､時にはスピードを上げ湾の奥の方まで行って来ました。陸上からは道がなくてたどり着くことができないような小さな浜辺によって小休止｡写真もガイドさんに沢山撮って頂きました。
きれいな川平湾を堪能することができました。
カナヅチで怖がっていた嫁も、もっとカヌーに乗りたいと大満足です。

ちなみにカヌー体験の翌日は同じPiPi さんで西表島sup +キャニオニングを体験しました！
こちらも最高でした。
今､地元に帰って来ましたけど、次回の石垣島はいつ行こうか計画してます

This time, my wife and I traveled to Ishigaki Island for the first time, and while searching for activities on VELTRA, we found a plan at Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi that allowed us to enjoy both the Kayak SUP tour and snorkeling at the Blue Cave in one day.

On the day of the tour, due to the wind and waves, we couldn't do the snorkeling at the Blue Cave and had to go to a different location, but personally, I had a fantastic time snorkeling.

Swimming through the clear sea among the coral reefs, I was able to see fish and sea turtles up close. The scenery underwater far exceeded my imagination.

My wife had a bit of trouble with her stamina on the way back, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused, but the guide was very kind and helpful.

After we were dropped off at the hotel, they even checked in on us, which I really appreciated.

I was embarrassed to be the only one who fell off the SUP among the participants (laughs). If we have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to request this tour. Thank you for the wonderful time!

　今回、夫婦で初めて石垣島に旅行に行き、どんなアクティビティを体験しようかとVELTRAさんで探していたところ、川平SUPツアーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングが1日で満喫できるプランが石垣島 ADVENTURE PiPiさんにてありましたのでお世話になってきましたー♪
　当日は風と波の影響で青の洞窟シュノーケリングは出来ず、代わりに別な場所になってしまいましたが、個人的には凄い楽しめたシュノーケリングになりました。
　透き通る海の中で、珊瑚礁の間を通り抜けながら泳いで行き、魚やウミガメも近くで見れました。もう海の中の景色は自分の想像を遥かに超えていました。
　妻の体力が無く、沖まで帰る中ご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、ガイドの方に親切にご対応頂きとても助かりました。
　ホテルへ送り届けて頂いた後も心配してご連絡くださりました、有難うございました。
　SUPで落ちたのはツアー参加の方々の中で私だけだったのが恥ずかしかったです（笑）
　また機会があれば是非お願いしたいと思います。楽しい時間を有難うございました。

In mid-March, I participated in SAP and snorkeling with my university student daughter. I received a phone call the day before to confirm the details. At that time, I requested prescription goggles on short notice, and they kindly accommodated my request. On the day of the event, there were four groups of eight participants, including us, and two staff members provided guidance. SAP allowed us to enjoy the scenery from a higher vantage point than canoeing. I was constantly battling the fear of falling, but I managed to stay on without falling even once. During snorkeling, there were frequent health checks. My daughter almost cramped up, but she was able to hold onto a float and quickly recovered. I think we were able to observe the sea turtles for a relatively long time. After finishing, I was more exhausted than I expected, possibly due to buoyancy? I realized that the frequent health checks were likely in anticipation of this situation. Thanks to the staff, we made wonderful memories of Ishigaki Island.

3月中旬に大学生の娘とにSAPとシュノーケリングに参加しました。参加前日に詳細確認のため電話を頂きました。その時に度付きゴーグルを急遽お願いしましたが快く受付てもらえました。当日の参加者は私達を含めて4組8名、2名のスタッフでご指導を頂きました。SAPはカヌーよりも目線が高く景色を楽しめました。常に落ちそうな恐怖と戦っていましたが一度も落ちずにすみました。シュノーケリングでは途中頻繁に体調確認があります。娘が足がつりそうになりましたが、浮具に掴まらせてもらいすぐに回復しました。ウミガメは比較的長く観察できたと思います。終了後は浮力の関係？か想像以上に疲れていました。この状況を見越して頻繁な体調確認があったんだと思いました。スタッフの方のお陰で石垣島のいい思い出がでしました。
