All Reviews for 槳板衝浪（SUP）

I was a bit anxious about whether I could stand up on the SUP for the first time, but thanks to the detailed explanations and support from the staff, I was able to enjoy the experience.

At first, I paddled while kneeling, and after getting a bit further out, I stood up to paddle. This step-by-step approach helped me get used to the SUP and made the experience enjoyable.

On the day of the activity, the weather was drizzly and the scenery wasn't great, but since it was a clear SUP, I could look down and see plenty of corals and fish, which captivated me as I gazed at the ocean floor.

After the experience, the staff made a video from the photos taken with a drone and smartphone, which became a wonderful memory of my trip.

初めてのサップで乗れるか不安があったんですが
担当者の方の丁寧な説明とサポートのお陰で
楽しく体験する事が出来ました。

最初は膝立ちで漕いである程度沖に出てから立って漕ぐと、段階を踏んだのでサップに慣れ楽しく体験が出来ました

当日は天気が小雨で景色があまり良くなかったのですが、クリアサップなので下を覗けばサンゴや
魚が沢山居て夢中になって海底を見てました。

体験後にはスタッフがドローンやスマホで撮った写真を動画にして下さい旅の良い思い出になりました。

I used this service on the last day of my stay in Ishigaki Island. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but they provided a lecture on land, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The sea was incredibly clear, and when the sunlight shone through, it was beautiful no matter where I looked.

I had requested a shuttle, but since I had already checked out of the hotel, they took me to a shower room near the bus terminal. As a result, I was able to board my evening flight feeling refreshed. I was so happy to enjoy the sea until the very last day. Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

石垣島滞在の最終日に利用しました。
私はSUP初体験だったのですが、陸でレクチャーもしてくださるので、安心して体験することができました。
海は言わずもがな透明度が高く、光が差した時はどこをみてもとても綺麗でした。

送迎をお願いしていたのですが、ホテルはすでにチェックアウトしていたため、バスターミナル近くのシャワー室に送ってくださりました。
そのため、スッキリした状態で夕方の便に乗れました。
最終日まで海を堪能できて嬉しかったです。
お写真もたくさんありがとうございました！

I participated with my 13-year-old daughter.

As someone in my 50s who isn't very athletic, I was prepared to get soaked for my first attempt at stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The staff were all kind and easy to talk to, which eased my worries. Once I tried it, I found it surprisingly easy to stand, sit, and even lie down. I enjoyed the scenery from various perspectives, and since the board is transparent, I could see the fish underwater, allowing me to relax and enjoy at my own pace.

They took several photos and videos for us, and even did drone filming (they also provide waterproof cases, so you can take your own photos). Right after the experience, they sent us the photos and videos via AirDrop, which exceeded my expectations. The souvenirs were more than enough, and I was very satisfied!

中1（13歳）の娘と参加しました。

運動音痴の50代の私は水没覚悟で、SUP初チャレンジ。
スタッフの方は皆さん親切で話しやすく、不安は吹き飛びました。
やってみると意外に簡単に立ったり座ったり寝転んだりできました。いろいろな視線で景色を楽しんだり、透明なので海の中のお魚さんを見ることができ、自分のペースでのんびり楽しめました。

写真や動画を何枚も撮っていただき、さらにドローン撮影
（防水ケースも貸していただけるので自分で撮影も可です。）
体験終了後すぐ、エアドロで写真と動画を送っていただきましたが、これが想像以上にGOOD。
お土産はもうこれで十分！と大満足でした。

We participated as a couple.
The clear SUP experience was a wonderful way to refresh both body and mind. First, I was captivated by the beauty of the blue, transparent sea. The underwater world was clearly visible, almost like a painting. The instructor was very kind and took us to a secret beach that we wouldn't normally visit. Taking photos and filming with a drone was also a lot of fun. In the end, we received a video edited to about one minute, which is great for memories.
My husband, who usually surfs, wasn't very enthusiastic about this beginner-friendly tour, but he ended up having a great time.
With the instructor's careful guidance, I think even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind, so I highly recommend it.

夫婦で参加しました。
クリアSUP体験は心身をリフレッシュさせる素晴らしい体験でした。まず、青く透明な海の美しさに魅了されました。水中の世界がクリアに見えて、まるで絵画のよう。インストラクターのお兄さんもとても親切でふだんは行かないという秘密のビーチ？にも連れて行ってくれました。写真やドローンでの動画撮影も楽しかったです。最後に1分ほどに編集された動画もいただけました。思い出に残るので最高です。
ふだんサーフィンをしている夫は初心者向けのこのツアーにはあまり乗り気ではなかったのですが、結果とても楽しんでいました。
インストラクターの丁寧な指導があるので、初心者でも安心して楽しめると思いますので、おすすめです。

The very friendly instructor gently taught us how to paddle, and we had a wonderful time even as beginners. Although it was a day with occasional light rain and strong winds, the waves at Imugya Marine Garden were calm, allowing us to enjoy the scenery from the water. Since we were on a clear SUP, we could also enjoy the view of the underwater world while standing, which was fantastic. We were able to see clownfish perfectly. The photos and videos taken with the drone captured us enjoying ourselves against the beautiful backdrop of Imugya Marine Garden, which was truly moving. Next time, I would like to experience it on a sunny day.

とても気さくなインストラクターさんが漕ぎ方を優しく教えて下さり、初めてでも楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。時々小雨も降り風の強い日でしたが、イムギャーマリンガーデンの波は穏やかで、海上からの景色も楽しめました。またクリアサップなので、立ったままで足元の海の中の景色も同時に楽しめて、とても良かったです。カクレクマノミもバッチリ見れました。ドローン撮影していただいた写真や動画には、イムギャーマリンガーデンの素晴らしい景色の中で楽しむ自分達の姿が写されていて感動しました。次はお天気の良い日に体験してみたいです。

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. Having watched SUP dramas, I had decided that I would definitely try it when I came to Miyako Island. The result was extremely satisfying! They kindly taught me how to paddle, along with tips and advice. At first, I was worried about falling, but I was able to have a lot of fun. Additionally, they took many photos, including drone shots, and the highlight reel I received at the end is a treasure I will watch over and over again! I would love to use their services again when I come back to Miyako Island!

初めてsupを体験しました。supのドラマを見ていたこともあって、宮古島にきたら必ずしようと決めていました。結果は大満足！漕ぎ方をはじめ、コツやアドバイスを優しく教えてくれて、最初は落ちることなど不安でしたが、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。また、ドローン撮影など沢山写真を撮影していただき、最後にいただいた総集編ムービーは何度も見返すほど一生の宝物です！また宮古島に来たらぜひ利用させていただきたいです！

I was anxious because I was a beginner, but the staff kindly and patiently taught me, and I was able to manage to ride. It was great. Moreover, I could see the beautiful fish in the sea clearly with the clear board, and it was fun! The drone footage was also amazing. I was surprised at how it turned out like a commercial. It became a wonderful memory.

During my trip, unfortunately, the weather was bad and strong winds caused all the marine sports to be canceled, but I had the best time on the last day when the sun finally came out. It was the most enjoyable part of my three-day stay in Miyako Island.

初心者だったので不安でしたが、スタッフさんにやさしく丁寧に教えてもらい、何とか乗ることが出来ました。良かった。しかもクリアボードで海の中のキレイな魚が良く見えて、楽しい！
ドローン撮影の動画も最高です。CMみたいな仕上がりでビックリしました。良い思い出になりました。
旅行中は生憎の天気と強風でマリンスポーツがことごとくキャンセルになり、やっと太陽が出てきた最終日に最高の時間を過ごせました。
宮古島3日間の滞在で1番楽しかったです。

I was worried about whether I could enjoy my first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) session due to the cloudy weather, but it was really fun! There was a brief lecture, and then we headed straight to the sea. Despite the clouds and occasional rain, I started off sitting down and then switched to standing once I assessed the wind conditions. At first, I struggled to get the hang of it and wasn't making much progress, but once I got used to it, I found it enjoyable and was soothed by the clarity of the water. I deducted one star because the scenery would have been better if it had been sunny, but I definitely recommend the tour! Also, the photos from the guide and the information about the shop were great! ⭐︎

天候が曇りで楽しめるか不安でしたが、初SUPはとても楽しかったです。簡単なレクチャーがあり、早速海へ。曇り&通り雨もある中、最初は座って、風の状況をみて立ち漕ぎにチェンジ。最初コツが掴めず、なかなか前に進まずでしたが、慣れると楽しく海の透明度に癒されました。晴れてたら景色もよかっただろうなという点で星マイナス1ですが、ツアー自体はお勧めです！また、ガイドさんからの写真やお店の情報もgoodでした⭐︎

It was both of our first time on a SUP, but we were able to get on easily. The instructors were all very kind, and it was a lot of fun. The temperature was surprisingly warm for the end of February, so it felt great to jump into the sea. Both the ocean and the scenery were very beautiful, and it became a wonderful memory. We were able to participate without carrying any luggage, as they took many photos for us. Regarding transportation, they picked us up close by and also dropped us off on the way back. Thank you very much!

supは2人とも初めてでしたが、簡単に乗ることができました。インストラクターさんもみなさん親切でとても楽しかったです。2月末とは思えないほど気温は暖かかったので、海に飛び込んでも気持ちが良かったです。海も景色もとても綺麗で、すごくいい思い出になりました。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、荷物は持たずに参加することができました。送迎についても、近くまで迎えにきていただき、帰りも送ってくださりました。
ありがとうございました！

Due to the weather, we changed from the originally planned SUP at Kawahira Bay to mangrove SUP, but I was able to participate and have fun. During the drive to and from the location, we had enjoyable conversations about the scenery along the way and the history of the island, which were very interesting. It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me carefully, and I was able to maneuver it right away. Paddling while standing felt great, and the discussions about the mangroves and the flora and fauna of the stone walls on both sides of the river were enjoyable. Although it went by quickly, I had a wonderful time. Thank you for the lovely experience. I highly recommend it to anyone considering it!

天候の影響で当初の川平湾からマングローブでのSUPに変更になりましたが楽しく参加できました。
行き帰りの車の中でも道中の景色の話や島の歴史なども楽しくお話ししていただき、とても興味深かったです。
SUPも初めてでしたが丁寧に教えていただき、すぐに操ることが出来ました。立って漕ぐととても気持ち良くて、川の両岸のマングローブや石垣の動植物の話も楽しく、あっという間でしたが素晴らしい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。素敵な体験を心ありがとうございます。検討中の方もぜひぜひお勧めです！

I had never tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) before, and I was a bit scared of falling into the sea, but thanks to the careful instruction and assistance, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I love fishing, and I was thrilled to see tropical fish in the shallow areas, but I got really excited when I found good-sized fish in deeper waters (laughs). Riding a clear SUP is great while standing, but sitting down to observe the fish and enjoy the snorkeling vibe is also fun. I think even those who are not comfortable going into the water can enjoy it with family and friends.

supをやった事が無く、初めてで海に落ちるのも少し怖いなと思ってましたが、丁寧な指導とアシストのおかげで、安心して楽しめました。
釣りが好きで浅い所の熱帯魚も嬉しかったですが、深場の良いサイズの魚達を見つけてはテンション上がりました(笑)
クリアなsupは立って乗るのも良いですが、座って魚を観察してシュノーケリング気分を味わうのも楽しいです。海の中に入るのが苦手な人も家族や友達と一緒に楽しめると思います。

I checked the weather forecast and thought it might be a good idea, so I quickly booked a kayak tour.

Even though it was January, we were blessed with sunny weather and a temperature of 25°C, making it a pleasant experience to paddle the kayak.

Kabira Bay is not just for looking; you have to immerse yourself in the sea! (laughs)

The staff were friendly, and it turned out to be a happy holiday.

天気予報を見て、これはいけるかもと思い立ち、急遽予約したカヤックツアー。

1月とはいえ気温25℃の晴天に恵まれ、気持ちよくカヤックを漕ぐことができました。

川平湾は、見るだけじゃなくて海に浸かってなんぼです！笑

スタッフのお兄さんもフレンドリーで、ハッピーな休日になりました。

I was nervous at first about doing SUP for the first time, but the guide taught us carefully, so even kids who aren't good at sports managed to do it somehow. It was warm even in January, so wearing just a swimsuit, an Airism parka, shorts, and leggings was just right. My child fell off the board and got soaked, but it seems like the water wasn't cold, so they enjoyed it (^ - ^). Kabira Bay was really beautiful and amazing! I want to experience SUP in Ishigaki Island again.

初SUPでうまくできるか最初は緊張しましたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれたので、運動が苦手な子供でもなんとかできました。
1月でも暖かかったので、水着にエアリズムパーカーにショートパンツ、レギンスを履いただけでちょうどよかったです。子供はボードから落ちてずぶ濡れになってしまったけれど、水も冷たくなかったので気持ちよかったみたいです(^-^)
川平湾は本当に綺麗で最高でした！また石垣島でSUP体験したいです

We participated in stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay with our family. Initially, we were suggested to switch from paddleboarding to canoeing due to strong winds on the reserved day, but since we wanted to try paddleboarding, we changed the date. Thank you for being flexible with us.

On the day of the activity, we were picked up at the parking lot and transported to Kabira Bay. After that, we received a lecture on how to paddle, and we paddled towards the sandy beach on the opposite shore. Although we were beginners, we were able to grasp the techniques while receiving advice and actually paddling.

After arriving at the opposite shore, we took a short break on the sandy beach before heading back to the original sandy beach. There were almost no waves, and paddleboarding felt very pleasant! I'm glad we were able to experience paddleboarding.

川平湾サップに家族で参加しました。
当初予約日に風が強いためサップからカヌーへの変更を提案されましたが、サップをやってみたかったため日にちを変更して頂きました。柔軟に対応していただきありがとうございます。
当日駐車場まで迎えに来てもらって川平湾まで移動します。
その後サップの漕ぎ方をレクチャー頂き、対岸の砂浜目指して漕いで行きます。初心者でしたがアドバイスをもらいつつ実際に漕ぎながらコツを掴めました。
対岸に到着した後は砂浜で少し休み、元の砂浜に戻っていきます。波もほぼなくてサップはとても気持ちよかったです！サップ体験ができて良かったです。

We participated in a SUP tour at Kabira Bay with a group of six friends and family. We took our time in the hotel in the morning and departed at 1:00 PM. Two guides came to pick us up at the hotel. On the way to Kabira Bay, they shared various information about Ishigaki's nature, including the ecology of the crested serpent eagle and wild peacocks, and before we knew it, we arrived.

They provided all the necessary gear, including life jackets and shoes, so we only needed to bring drinks and towels. Once we were ready, the tour began. Thanks to the thorough instructions from our guide, Shinobu, even beginners had a great time in the beautiful Kabira Bay. Although it was a winter SUP tour, we were blessed with good weather, and the temperature was just right for enjoying the sea—absolutely perfect!

During the tour, they took plenty of photos for us and sent them later, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend this tour!

川平湾でのSUPツアー、友人家族と6人で参加しました。朝はゆっくりホテルで過ごしてからの13:00出発。ガイドの方2名でホテルまで迎えに来ていただきました。川平湾に着くまでは石垣の自然について、カンムリワシの生態や野生のクジャクの事など色々話して頂き、あっという間に到着。
ライジャケやシューズは全部準備頂き、我々は飲み物とタオルのみ。準備整えて、ツアー開始。
ガイドのシノブさんの丁寧なインストラクションで初心者も、綺麗な川平湾でとても楽しく過ごせました。冬のSUPツアーでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、海に入っても気持ち良いくらいの気温で最高！
ツアー中は写真もいっぱい撮って頂き、後から送ってくださり、ありがとうございます。
おすすめのツアーです！

I was a bit anxious since it was my first time SUP, but I never expected to have such a fulfilling experience in such a short tour! The two instructors were very friendly, and their explanations were thorough and easy to understand. They also really connected with the participants, creating a wonderful atmosphere. They took many beautiful photos, which helped create great memories. I think even beginners can participate with confidence. If you want to enjoy the sea and leisure activities in Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend it!

初SUPということで不安もありましたが、短時間のツアーでこんなにも充実した時間を過ごせるとは✨インストラクターのお二方がとてもフレンドリーで、説明も丁寧でわかりやすかったです。また、参加者と親身に寄り添ってくださるので、雰囲気も凄く良かったです☺️写真も素敵に沢山撮っていただけたので、良い思い出づくりにもなりました。初めての方でも安心して参加できると思います。石垣島の海やレジャーを楽しみたい方はぜひ！

I went to Ishigaki Island for Christmas. I wanted to do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, but due to strong winds, we switched to canoeing on the Miyara River.

The tour guide was kind and shared many attractions of Ishigaki Island! I originally planned to rent a wetsuit, so I didn't bring clothes that could get wet from Tokyo, but I bought a raincoat for about 100 yen on-site. The canoe's seat has holes, so your bottom will definitely get wet! However, thanks to the raincoat, I stayed completely dry! There are splashes while paddling, so placing a towel under my knees solved the problem!

By the way, everyone else was dressed in rash guards and shorts.

They take photos for you, but I recommend bringing your own phone as well. There's a risk of dropping it, and since the Miyara River is murky, it's better to keep your phone on your shoulder! If you lose it, it might be hard to find...

By the way, participating in the summer is said to be terrible due to the smell from cow dung flowing in and the extreme heat...

クリスマスに石垣島へ
サップとシュノーケルをしたかったのですが、強風のため宮良川で出来るカヌーへ変更

添乗員さんは優しく、石垣島の魅力を沢山教えてくださいました！
元々はウエットスーツをレンタルする予定だったので、濡れても良い服を東京から持って行かなかったのですが、現地で100円ぐらいのレインコートを買って参戦。
カヌーの座面は穴が空いてるので、お尻は必ず濡れるんですね！でも、レインコートのおかげで全く濡れず！漕いでる時の水飛沫があるので、膝下にタオルを置けば問題無し！

ちなみにわ皆さんはラッシュガードの上下と短パンの様な服装でした。

写真を撮って下さいますが、ご自身でも携帯を持っていくことをお勧めします。
落ちる危険性があるのと、宮良川は底が見えない川なので、携帯は肩にかけたほうが良いです！
紛失したら見当たらなさそう、、。


ちなみに夏の参加は、牛のフンが流れるため悪臭が漂い、とんでもなく暑いそうです、、

I was worried about the weather in Okinawa during winter, but fortunately, I was able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling in calm waters. The SUP experience while gazing at the vibrant gradient of the sea illuminated by the sunlight was truly beautiful. Additionally, during snorkeling, fish came so close that I could almost reach them, and I was able to spot a sea turtle on the ocean floor, making for a wonderful time.

冬の沖縄ということで天気が心配でしたが、運良く穏やかな海でSUPとシュノーケルができました。太陽の光で色鮮やかな海のグラデーションを眺めながらのSUPは、とてもキレイでした。また、シュノーケルでは手が届きそうなほど近くまで魚が寄ってきたり、海底にウミガメを見かけることができ、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

Canoeing and snorkeling were both amazing. Especially since my first snorkeling experience was on a winter rainy day with kids, I felt nervous about getting into the water, but once I put my head under, I couldn't stop laughing. It was incredibly fun and became a cherished memory. The guide was especially kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the ocean, which made it the best experience.

カヌーもシュノーケリングも最高でした。
特に初シュノーケリングが子供連れの冬の雨の日だったので緊張で海に入るのも迷った感じでしたが、海に頭を入れてからすぐ笑いが止まらない状態になったです。すごい楽しく大事な思い出となりました。特にガイドの先生は優しくて専門的で本当に海が好きな方で最高でした。

I was able to handle the SUP easily even as a beginner. Since it was a clear SUP, I could feel the blue of the sea up to my feet whether I was sitting or standing! It was also great to enjoy the terrain of Imugya Marine Garden up close. The calm conditions made it easy to enjoy the activity without any worries. The staff were friendly and approachable.

For photo and drone shoots, you receive the data right after. It was great that everyone in the group could be included, and the photos captured our natural enjoyment beautifully. The drone shots provided angles that I couldn't capture myself, showcasing the vibrant blue of Miyako's sea.

I had a really fun time. Thank you!

SUPは初心者でもすぐに上手く扱えるようになりました。クリアSUPなので、座って乗っても立って乗っても足元まで海の青さを感じられました！
イムギャマリンガーデンの地形を間近で楽しめたのもよかったです。穏やかなので不安なくアクティビティを楽しめたように思います。
スタッフは気さくで親しみやすかったです。
写真撮影、ドローン撮影は直後にデータをいただけます。グループ全員で写れるのはもちろん、撮り方も上手で楽しんでいる自然な姿が撮れていてよかったです。ドローン撮影は自分では撮れない画角で、宮古の海の青さが生きた映像になっていました。
本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

This was my fourth time in Ishigaki Island, but it was my first time participating in a tour. I was really looking forward to going to the Blue Cave, so it was disappointing that we couldn't go, but instead, we were taken snorkeling at the beautiful beach of Kabira Bay. My wife, who is not comfortable putting her face in the water, received great support, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I was very moved to see so many beautiful fish. In the afternoon, we experienced SUP, and the wide ocean felt wonderful, allowing us to spend a relaxing time. The transportation was on time, and they shared many stories about the island during the ride. They took many photos during the tour and even gifted us the data, making it a very satisfying experience. I will definitely use this service again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

4回目の石垣島でしたが、ツアーに参加したのは初めてでした。今回とても楽しみにしいた青の洞窟に行かれなかったのが残念でしたが、その代わりに川平湾の綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリングに連れていっていただきました。夫婦で参加でしたが、水に顔をつけるのが苦手な妻をしっかりサポートしていただき安心してシュノーケリングができました。綺麗なお魚をたくさん見る事ができてとても感動しました。午後はSUPを体験し、広い海が気持ち良く、ゆったりとした時間を過ごさせていただきました。送迎も時間どおりで、移動中もたくさん島のお話しをしてくださいました。ツアー中にお写真を沢山撮っていただきデータもプレゼントして下さり大満足のツアーでした。また石垣島に来た際は利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

Winter SUP was a bit concerning due to the weather not being very good, but when we actually arrived at the location, I was surprised by how blue the ocean was! My excitement soared.

We participated as a pair, and one coach was dedicated to us, providing constant guidance. They took us to spots where we could see coral reefs, beautiful views of the ocean, and even places where we could see clownfish, allowing us to have a lot of fun.

Additionally, since the SUP boards were clear, we could feel very close to the fish.

During the SUP session, they took a lot of photos for us and even did drone filming! After the drone shoot, they edited the footage and provided us with the data, which really boosted our excitement!

It was the best experience that will remain in our memories. Thank you so much!♡

冬のSUP、天気があまりよくなかったため、どんな感じなのか…と多少心配なところがあったのですが、実際に現地に着くと、海がとても青くてびっくり！テンションが上がりました。

2人で参加したのですが、1人コーチがつき、つきっきりで指導してくれました。珊瑚礁が見えるスポット、海が綺麗に見えるスポット、ニモが見えるスポットなど次々と案内してくださり、とても楽しむことができました。

また、SUPがクリアなので、魚をとっても間近に感じみることができました。

SUP中は、写真をたくさん撮ってくださるとともに、ドローン撮影までしてくれました！
ドローン撮影は撮影後、編集までしてデータをくれてテンション爆上がりです！

想い出に残る最高の体験ができました♡ありがとうございました！！

I had an experience on November 27th. They provided wetsuits for rent, and all I brought was tea, a towel, and a swimsuit. The wetsuits and shoes were of good quality, and even with the water temperature at this time (24.25℃), I didn't feel cold at all! The instructor was kind and explained everything in detail, from how to use the SUP paddle to how to stand up. I had tried SUP at a different place the day before and couldn't stand at all, but everyone who participated that day was able to stand up. They took a lot of photos, and they were all really wonderful pictures. During snorkeling, we saw various fish and even met Nemo! The instructor provided various explanations and let us touch starfish, which doubled the fun! I rented a GoPro for 3000 yen, but the photos we took ourselves couldn't compare to the instructor's photos (laughs). The sea, the sandy beach, and the fish made it a wonderful island. Right after the experience, we all said we should come back here next year! ♥

11月27日に体験させて頂きました。ウェットスーツなどは貸出できて、実際に持って行ったのは、お茶とタオルと水着でした。ウェットスーツや靴も立派な感じのもので、この時期の水温(24.25℃)でも寒さをあまり感じませんでした！インストラクターの方も優しい人で、SUPのパドルの使い方から立ち方まで詳しく教えてくれて、前日も違うところでSUPして全然立てなかったのですが、その日は参加した全員立つことができました。写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、本当に素敵な写真ばかりでした。シュノーケリングでは、色んな魚もみれますし、ニモにも会えました！インストラクターの方が色々な説明をしてくれたり、ヒトデを触ったりとより楽しさが倍増しました！GoProも3000円でお借りしたんですが、やはり自分たちでとった写真はインストラクターの方の写真には負けますね(笑)海も砂浜も魚も素晴らしい島でした。体験後すぐにみんなで来年もここに行こうと言っていたところです♥

The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave and ended up at Ohsaki Beach, but in the morning, we had a snorkeling course. To be honest, I was scared to snorkel because I couldn't swim, but with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs). Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery and got absorbed in the beautiful ocean views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle, and although the weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, I had a great time! I was really healed by the beautiful sea and fish, and I'm glad I had this experience! The guide, a young man and woman, were also kind and took a lot of photos for us, for which I am grateful ❤️.

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the clouds cleared up, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so connected to the sky and the horizon, and it was incredibly soothing (^0_0^).

天候が悪く、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりましたが、朝はシュノーケルのコースとなりました。
正直泳げなかったので、シュノーケルやるのに怖じ気づきましたが、ガイドさんと友達に励まし後押しされ、頑張って進めました(笑)体力的に心配はあったものの、なんとかついていって、途中からは海の中を鑑賞するのも余裕が出てきて、海の景色に吸い込まれて楽しめました。ウミガメにも奇跡的に会え、天気は曇りで微妙でしたが、満喫できました〜！
キレイな海と魚に本当に癒されて体験できて良かったです！ガイドのお兄さんとお姉さんも親切でたくさん写真も撮っていただいて感謝です❤️
午後はSUPのコースでした。風が強いため、漕ぐのが少し大変かもというお話でしたが、途中から晴れ間が広がってきたと思ったら頭上に虹がかかっていたのがとても印象的でした。空と水平線の境に自分が重なって、とにかく癒されました(^0_0^)

The weather was bad, and our plans changed. Instead of going to the Blue Cave in the morning, we ended up at Ohsaki Beach (what a shame).

Honestly, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since I couldn't swim well, and when I first entered the water and put my face in, I felt a little scared. However, with encouragement from the guide and my friends, I managed to push through (laughs).

Although I was worried about my stamina, I somehow kept up, and after a while, I started to enjoy observing the underwater scenery, getting absorbed in the beautiful views. Miraculously, I even got to see a sea turtle! The weather was cloudy and a bit iffy, but I had a great time!

In the afternoon, we had a SUP course at Kabira Bay. They mentioned that it might be a bit tough to paddle because of the strong winds, but then the sun started to break through, and I was really impressed to see a rainbow overhead. I felt so relaxed, merging with the sky and the horizon (^0_0^).

I’m really glad I got to experience the beautiful sea and fish! The guide and his partner were also very kind (I fell off the board a few times, and they helped pull me back up, haha), and I’m grateful for all the photos they took! ❤️

天候が悪く、当初予定と変更。朝シュノーケルのコースとなり、青の洞窟には行けず大崎ビーチとなりました（残念）

This was my first experience with marine activities in my life. Of course, it was also my first time doing stand-up paddleboarding, so I was a bit nervous at first, but even someone like me, who isn't very athletic, was able to enjoy it! The instructor kindly taught us how to use the paddle, so I think those who might say, "I'm not good at sports, can I do this?" can try it with confidence!

The clear paddleboard was more transparent than I expected (I thought it would be a bit cloudy), and I could see well into the water, so just by looking down, I could see colorful fish swimming up close. I was surprised by the sea snake swimming around! If you're going to do paddleboarding, I definitely recommend the clear paddleboard over the regular one, as you can see into the ocean!

They took a lot of photos and videos for us, and I appreciated that they suggested great poses for the pictures. On the day of the experience, the wind was strong, so I thought flying the drone might be difficult, but they said, "We can just barely fly it!" and managed to capture some aerial footage! Even though it was a cloudy day, the footage showed us paddleboarding over the beautiful blue sea, reminding me of the stunning colors of the ocean in Miyako Island. After the experience, in addition to the photos and videos taken on-site, they also sent us a highlight video with background music via AirDrop. This video was truly moving, and I ended up crying after saying goodbye to the staff... The staff members were incredibly kind and had wonderful smiles. This has undoubtedly become my best memory from my trip to Miyako Island. Thank you very much!

私にとって人生初のマリンアクティビティ体験でした。もちろんサップをするのも初めてだったので最初こそ緊張しましたが、運動神経がいまいちな私でも楽しく体験することができました！インストラクターの方が丁寧にパドルの使い方を教えてくれるので「運動が苦手だけど、できるかな？」と言う方も安心してトライできると思います！
クリアサップは思っていたよりも透明で(もう少し曇っているものかと思っていました)水の中がよく見えるので、足元に目を向けるだけで泳いでるカラフルな魚を間近に見れます。ニョロニョロ泳ぐウミヘビにはビックリでした！サップをするなら普通のサップよりも、海の中が見えるクリアサップの方が間違いなくオススメです！
写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただいて、映えるポーズも指示していただけるのでありがたかったです笑。体験をした日は風が強かったので、ドローンは厳しいかなと思っていたのですが「ギリギリ飛ばせます！」と言っていただいて上空からの動画も撮影してもらうことができました！曇が多い日だったので海の色も暗く写っているのかと思いきや、綺麗なブルーの海の上でサップをする姿がバッチリ映っていて、改めて宮古島の海の色の美しさを感じました。体験終了後にはその場で撮影した写真や動画の他にBGMを入れたハイライト動画もAirDropで送信してもらえます。この動画が本当に感動モノでじ～んときてしまい、スタッフさん達と別れた後に泣きました...笑。スタッフの皆さんは本当に親切で、笑顔が素敵な方々でした。間違いなくこの宮古島旅行で1番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

The day before, they confirmed the meeting place, what to bring, and important notes over the phone. The location was Imugya Marine Garden. They provided a thorough lecture on how to paddleboard in advance, which was very detailed! The water was so clear, and since we had clear paddleboards, I was amazed to see fish swimming underneath when I looked down. They used a drone to capture videos, resulting in a high-quality production that I could never achieve on my own! I was surprised that they also created an original movie at the end; I was very satisfied! I think just the photos taken by the guide would be enough to be satisfied! However, we also had free time, and they lent us waterproof cases for our smartphones, so we could take our own pictures as well. They showed us spots where we could see fish, and we had a really enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

前日に集合場所の確認、持ち物、注意事項など電話で伝えてくれました。
場所はイムギャーマリンガーデンでした。
サップの乗り方も事前にちゃんとレクチャーしてくれて、とても丁寧でした！
海の透明度が高く、クリアサップボードだったのでボードの下を覗き込むと魚が見えて感動しました。
動画はドローンを使って撮影してくれるので、個人では到底撮れない完成度の高いものになってます！最後はオリジナルムービーも作成してくれて驚きました、大満足です！写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれたものだけでも十分満足できると思います！でも自由時間ももらえるのと、スマホ防水ケースも貸してもらえたので、自分たちで撮ることもできました。魚が見れるスポットも教えてもらって、とても楽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！

Initially, I had booked a SUP tour at Kabira Bay, but due to strong winds, it was changed to a mangrove SUP at Miyara River. Although it was a last-minute change, I was able to enjoy a close-up view of the mangroves, which was a great experience. Depending on the weather, it seems that you can also see rare birds and aquatic creatures!

It was mid-November, but the temperature was around 25 degrees, making it very pleasant for SUP, and I had no issues doing it in short sleeves and shorts. It started to rain partway through, and I got completely soaked, so wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet is essential! Other than clothes that can get wet, there was nothing else you needed to prepare, making it a tour that beginners can enjoy with peace of mind.

During the tour, the guide took a lot of photos with a GoPro, so I was able to keep fun memories captured in pictures. Thank you very much!

当初、川平湾でのSUPツアーを予約しておりましたが、強風のため宮良川マングローブSUPへ変更になりました。急遽の変更でしたが、間近でマングローブを眺めることができて、いい経験ができました。天気によるようですが、珍しい鳥や水辺の生き物などを見ることができることもあるようです！
11月中旬でしたが、気温は25度くらいでとても気持ち良くSUPができ、半袖短パンでのSUPも全く問題なしでした。途中から雨降ってきてしまい、全身ずぶ濡れになったので、濡れても良い格好は必須です！濡れてもいい服装以外、特に何も用意する必要もなく、初心者でも安心して楽しめるツアーでした。
ツアー中にはガイドさんがGoProでたくさん写真を撮ってくださるので、楽しい思い出の写真を残すことができました。ありがとうございました！

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was not possible, so we changed to the coast at Ohsaki. The weather was bad, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was incredibly beautiful. I've seen quite a few places, but this was among the top in terms of beauty, and I was very impressed.

However, during the mangrove tour at Miyara River, the guide kept calling out "Mom! Mom!" I was participating with colleagues from work, and I am not a mother. I had filled out my name and emergency contact information at the beginning, but if they don't check that, what's the point of filling it out? In today's world, there are many different types of couples and families, so I think it's wrong to assume relationships based solely on age differences. This is a basic principle of customer service.

If it were just the snorkeling, I would have been completely satisfied and would give it five stars. Thank you for going out of your way to drop us off at the hotel. However, because the mangrove tour was included, I lowered my rating due to the above issues.

シュノーケルは青の洞窟は出来なくて大崎という海岸に変更。天気悪くあまり期待してなかったのですが、とにかく無茶苦茶綺麗。結構色々みてきましたが、一二を争う綺麗さで大感激でした。
ただ、宮良川のマングローブツアーですが、ガイドの方が「お母さんお母さん！」って。会社の同僚と参加しており私はそもそもお母さんではなく。最初に名前書いたり緊急連絡先住所などの記入をしたのですが、確認しないなら書く必要性が、なんのための記入なんでしょうか、、、。今のご時世、歳の差カップル夫婦など色々な方がいるかとおもいますので年齢差だけで関係性を決めつけるのはダメだと思います。これは、接客の基本だと思います。
シュノーケルだけなら大満足で星は5つ。ホテルまで無理言って送っていただきましてありがとうございました。
マングローブツアーとのセットなので上記の事情により評価下げました。

My first experience with stand-up paddleboarding was wonderful. On the day of the activity, the weather was perfect with hardly any wind, and our guide was very attentive and made it fun, allowing even beginners to easily enjoy the activity.

The scenery of Kabira Bay was simply stunning, and I was truly glad to have the experience of standing on the board and gliding over the crystal-clear water! Even days later, I still think back on it.

Additionally, even if you don't fall into the sea during the activity, your clothes will definitely get wet, so the service of being transported back to the hotel by car was very much appreciated. The guide also shared interesting information about Ishigaki Island during the ride, so it was never boring.

The photos taken during the activity were provided on the same day. I am truly grateful to the guide for the wonderful time I had.

サップは初めての体験でしたが、当日は天候に恵まれ風はほとんどなく、ガイドさんがとても丁寧に、そして楽しくフォローしてくださいましたので、初心者でも簡単にアクティビティを楽しむことができました。

川平湾の景色は素晴らしいの一言で、透き通った水面をボードの上に立って進んでいく時間は本当に体験できてよかったです！数日経つ今でも思い返しています。

また、アクティビティ中に海に落ちなくても絶対に衣服は濡れますので、宿泊しているホテルに車で送迎していただけるサービスはとてもありがたかったです。道中もガイドさんが楽しく石垣島の紹介をしてくれますので、まったく退屈しません。

撮影いただいた写真も当日中に提供いただきました。素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただいたガイドさんには本当に感謝しております。
