All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

There were various participants, some who were not comfortable in confined spaces or were trying snorkeling for the first time and felt anxious about swimming, but thanks to the thoughtful care provided, everyone was able to relax and enjoy themselves throughout the experience. The exploration of the beautiful and mysterious sea was fantastic! I highly recommend it!

閉所が苦手だったりシュノーケリングが初体験で泳ぎも不安だったり、いろんな方が参加されていましたが、細やかな気遣いで皆安心して終始楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
とても綺麗で神秘的な海の探検、サイコーでした！オススメです！

I went for my birthday and it was a nice experience. The current was a little bit strong so we went to a different area for snorkeling. It is perfect for beginners or if it’s your first time snorkeling. Staff was so nice.

It was my first experience with canoeing, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment as the guides were very kind and attentive, running alongside us and leading the way. I participated alone, but I was warmly supported, for which I am grateful. The bus driver was also friendly, providing guidance along the way and addressing each family by name. It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much! ♪

カヌー初体験でしたがとても親切丁寧に並走したり導いてくださったりでやり遂げ感がありとても有意義な時を過ごせました。1人参加でしたが温かく見守ってくださり感謝です。バス送迎の方も親切で途中の道々のガイドをしながらファミリーごとの名前で話しかけてくださったりとてもよいツアーでした。ありがとうございました♪

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunrise due to the cloudy weather, but we were guided through the mangroves. The instructor's stories were interesting, and we had a great time.

あいにくの曇天で朝日を見ることは出来なかったですが、マングローブを案内していただきました。
インストラクターの方のお話も面白く楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

妻と私は素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました！私にとって初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても簡単で楽しかったです。

特に、ガイドのディエゴはイケメンで、すべてをとても簡単に説明してくれました。彼のおかげでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。そして、ディエゴの助けで海蛇を見ることができました。

このアクティビティを強くお勧めします。

追伸：イケメンのディエゴは運転中に石垣島の歴史を説明してくれました。それが土地を理解するのに役立ちました。

My wife and me could make awesome memory! It was my first snorkeling but it was so easy and a lot of fun.

Especially, our guide Diego, ikemen, explains everthing so easy. It help me to enjoy snorkeling. And, I could see a sea snake with Diego's help.

I strongly recommend this activity.

P. S. The ikeman explain Ishigaki's history while driving. It help me to understand the land.

I participated in a canoe tour at Kawahira Bay, which received three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The weather was perfect, and I thoroughly enjoyed the emerald green sea and nature! I was also able to see the power spot, Heart Rock, and I made wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island. The guide, Hiro-san, shared many fun stories and recommended several great places to visit on Ishigaki Island. Next time, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding! Thank you!

ミシュラングリーンガイドで三ツ星を獲得した川平湾のカヌーツアーに参加しました。お天気にも恵まれて、エメラルドグリーンの海と自然を満喫しました！
パワースポットのハート岩も見る事ができて、石垣島で最高の思い出ができました〜
ガイドのHiro-sanのお話も楽しく、石垣島のオススメのお店もたくさん教えていただきました。
次回はSUP体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Kayak Tour at Kabira Bay that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the clear waters of Kabira Bay, but I was able to enjoy the tropical trees and coral rocks along the shore! The guide, Hiro, shared some fun anecdotes, and the water play time along the way was also enjoyable.

午後出発の川平湾カヌーツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの曇り空で、川平湾の透き通った水面を見ることはできませんでしたが、岸辺の南国の木々や珊瑚の岩を楽しむことができました！
ガイドのひろさんの小ネタや途中の水遊びタイムも楽しかったです。

Due to the ocean conditions, we changed to a half-day SUP cruise on the Miyara River on the day of our visit. Paddling slowly through the mangrove forest was an emotional experience, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of nature. Our guide Hina from PiPi was also very knowledgeable about nature, and learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangrove trees was truly educational!

海の状況から半日のSUP宮良川クルーズに当日に変更していただきました。ヒルギの森をゆっくりSUPで流していくだけで、大自然の美しさや静けさが感動的でした。PiPiのガイドのヒナさんも自然の知識が豊富で、ヒルギの木の不思議な生態などホントの勉強になりました！

I was hoping to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to the weather, we ended up canoeing. Canoeing was easy enough for elementary school students to paddle, so both adults and children could enjoy it. I was satisfied that we could go to an area behind Kabira Bay that is usually inaccessible. The guide was friendly and it was really great.

川平湾SUPを希望していましたが、
天候の影響でカヌーになりました。
カヌーは小学生でも簡単にパドルを操作できるので大人も子供も楽しむことができました。川平湾の裏側という通常では行けないエリアにも行くことができて満足です。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでとても良かったです。

The guide was full of energy, and we had a great time participating. Not only did we learn about canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island, but the recommendations for the town were also interesting, and I took notes on everything, haha.

As a couple who went canoeing for the second time, we were a bit flustered, but with the encouragement of the guide, we were able to fully enjoy canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island.

Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

ガイドさんが元気いっぱいで、とっても楽しく参加させていただきました。カヌーや石垣島の自然の話しだけでなく、町のオススメなども面白く、全てメモしました笑

カヌー2回目の夫婦なので、あたふたしながらも、ガイドさんに励まされながら、カヌーと石垣島の自然を満喫できました

たくさんの写真もありがとうございました

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, absolutely the best! Our guide, Hina, was amazing too!! It was my first time canoeing and I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy canoeing with peace of mind thanks to Hina's careful support and thoughtfulness.

Paddling through the calm river, I felt relaxed yet put in a lot of effort while canoeing. The sunset over the mangroves at Ishigaki was a breathtaking view that can only be seen here.

I really wanted to experience the mangrove canoeing, so I made a last-minute reservation for a ride and joined in the afternoon. During the ride, Hina shared a lot of information about Ishigaki, and I was able to chat and exchange information with the other participants.

It was so much fun! I'm really glad I could participate!

とってもきれいな夕やけサイコー！
ガイドのヒナさんサイコー！！
初めてのカヌー&1人参加でしたが、安心してカヌーを楽しめました〜。ヒナさんの丁寧なフォローと心配りに感謝、、です。
穏やかな川の流れのなかを、気分はゆったりでもけっこう一生懸命カヌーを漕いで笑、たどり着いた石垣の夕やけonマングローブはここでしか見ることのできない絶景です。
マングローブカヌーをどうしても体験してみたくて、当日お昼過ぎに急遽申し込み送迎付きでの参加。送迎車中でもヒナさんからたくさんの石垣情報をいただき参加者の皆さんともお話ししたり情報交換したり。
たのしかった〜！参加できてよかった〜！

Due to the weather, the snorkeling in the afternoon was moved to another beach. Safety first! It was a fantastic experience. We gathered at 1:30 PM at the red mailbox in the terminal. The guides from Adventure Pipi are all young, energetic, and speak English very well. I really liked it!

由于天气原因 风太大 把下午的浮潜换到了另一个沙滩 安全第一 非常棒的体验 13:30 在terminal的红色邮箱这里集合 adventure pipi的guide都很年轻 很有活力 会讲英语 很喜欢

It was my first experience with canoeing! At first, I couldn't paddle well, but I gradually got the hang of it.

Next, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)!

初めてのカヌー体験でした！
はじめは上手く進みませんでしたが、徐々に慣れてきました。

次はSUPに挑戦してみたいと思います！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the rain, but exploring the mangroves on a SUP was a very enjoyable experience. We came on our honeymoon, and our guide was thoughtful enough to take some precious photos and videos for us. I want to try SUP back home; I can't wait to experience it again soon!

あいにくの雨でサンセットを見ることができなかったのですが、マングローブを探検するサップもとても楽しめる体験でした。
ハネムーンできたのですがガイドさんに気を利かせていただき、貴重な写真や動画を撮ってもらうこともできました。
地元でもサップをやりたいくらい、またすぐにでも体験してみたいです！

The only disappointment was that it was cloudy, but the sun came out at the end; the weather can't be helped.
It was my first time paddleboarding, and I was a bit anxious, but they provided a thorough explanation of how to paddle and stand, so I was able to keep up without falling in.
It was fun to pass through the mangroves, even while struggling a bit.
Thank you, Tomo!

曇りだったのだけが残念、最後に太陽が出てきたけど、天気はしかたないですね。
SUPは初めてでちょっと不安でしたが、漕ぎ方立ち方の説明もきちんとしてくださったので、落水せず最後までついていけました。
つっかえながらでもマングローブの下を通り抜けられて楽しかったです。
トモさんありがとうございました。

The canoeing at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at Osaki were the best. I had booked SUP at Kabira Bay and a trip to the Phantom Island, but due to strong winds, the boat couldn't go out, so they offered an alternative. It turned out to be a great decision to go with their suggestion.

Both the Kabira Bay canoeing and Osaki snorkeling included GoPro filming, so I didn't have to worry about losing my own camera or smartphone. The conversations during the car ride about Ishigaki Island and recommended dining spots were also enjoyable and helpful for the trip.

最高の川平湾カヌーと大崎シュノーケリングでした。川平湾SUPと幻の島で予約していましたが、風が強くて船が出せず、代替提案。良い機会なので提案に乗ってみたところ、大正解でした。
川平湾カヌーも大崎シュノーケリングもGoProで撮影してくれるので、自分のカメラやスマホを紛失する心配もありませんでした。
石垣島についての説明やおすすめの食事処など、移動車中の会話も楽しく旅の助けとなりました

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

I felt the fresh air of the mangrove forest and the energy of this unique place. Thank you for providing a valuable experience that cannot be enjoyed in the city. The instructors were all kind and attentive, so I highly recommend it.

マングローブの森の新鮮な空気と独特な場所が持つエネルギーを感じました。
都会では味わえない貴重な体験をさせて頂きありがとうございます。
インストラクターの人も親切で丁寧な人ばかりなのでオススメです。

I think it's content that beginners can fully enjoy!
It was my first time trying SUP, and I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, which was amazing!
I also enjoyed snorkeling without any difficulty, and the sea was very beautiful; I even got to see a sea turtle.

I was a bit worried because the life jacket I wore had two out of three buckles broken.
I also thought it would be great if I could provide more details about my height, weight, desired size, and swimming ability when making a reservation in advance.

The staff were very friendly, and it was a tour that made me want to do it again if I have the chance!

初心者でも充分楽しめる内容だと思います！
SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした！
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。

私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。

スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした！

On the day of our trip, the weather was not great, and I experienced seasickness for the first time due to the rough boat ride. Thanks to the incredibly hospitable staff, we were able to safely land on the elusive island. The pick-up and drop-off service was excellent, so my husband and I, who do not drive, felt at ease.

当日、天気がいまいちでボートの激しい揺れのため船酔いを初体験しました。ホスピタリティー溢れるスタッフの方のお陰で無事に幻の島に上陸することができました。送り迎えをバッチリしていただけるので、車に乗らない私達夫婦も安心でした。

The fish are close by.
The coral is beautiful.
The sea turtles don't escape.
The ocean is incredibly beautiful.
It truly became a wonderful memory!
The Blue Cave had a mystical color that mixed blue and green!

魚と距離が近い。
珊瑚が綺麗。
ウミガメが逃げない。
海がものすごく綺麗。
本当にいい思い出になりました！
青の洞窟は、青と緑色が混ざった様な色で、神秘的でした！

It was my first time canoeing, and I was able to paddle quite a distance on my own while thoroughly enjoying nature. The guide provided excellent support, so I felt safe and had a great time. It was an experience that would have been impossible to do alone, and I had so much fun. Ishigaki Island is truly beautiful, and I definitely want to go back. Thank you very much.

初めてのカヌーでしたが、結構な距離を自力で移動させてもらい、たっぷり自然を満喫できました。ガイドさんもしっかりフォローしてくださってたので安心して楽しめました。自分たちだけでは絶対無理な体験をさせてもらって、とても楽しかったです。本当にきれいなものがいっぱいで石垣島サイコーです。また、行きたいです。
ありがとうございました。

I went to Ishigaki Island to enjoy the blue sea and starry sky, but unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy for all four days. I was looking forward to snorkeling, and although we made it to the location, it was canceled. It was disappointing, but I appreciated that they had prepared well for us to enter the sea, and I gained more trust in them for making the decision to cancel without hesitation for safety reasons. Thank you to the staff who provided helpful information and entertained us with games on the way there and back. I will definitely come back for a revenge trip. I look forward to seeing you again then.

青い海と星空を目的に石垣島に行きましたが、残念ながら4日間とも曇りと雨😭
楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングは現地まで行きましたが、中止に。残念でしたが、海に入れるようにしっかり準備してくださってたのに、安全の為に躊躇なく中止の決断されたことに、むしろ信頼できると好感度アップでした。行き帰りお役立ち情報やゲームで楽しませてくれたスタッフさん、ありがとうございました。必ずリベンジに行きます。その時はまた、よろしくお願いします。

I wanted to enjoy the nature of Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for SUP and snorkeling. Unfortunately, the weather didn't turn out to be the clear skies I had hoped for, but thanks to our guide and everyone else in the same team, I had a very enjoyable and wonderful day.

During the morning SUP experience, we had a very cheerful guide, and my wife, daughter, and the other participants were all smiles. SUP surrounded by the mangroves and banyan trees in the great outdoors was fantastic.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling. Although it was cloudy, the underwater scenery was more beautiful than I had imagined, and the guide was very thorough and kind in his explanations, allowing us to fully enjoy the waters of Ishigaki. Additionally, the guide shared recommendations for delicious places to eat, which was very helpful.

石垣島の自然を楽しみたかったので、SUPとシュノーケリングにエントリーしました。
天候は、残念ながら期待していた快晴とまではならなかったのですが、ガイドさんや、同じチームで参加された皆さんのお陰で、とても楽しく素敵な1日を過ごすことができました。
午前中のSUP体験ではとてもオモシロ陽気なガイドさんがついてくれて、妻も娘も他の参加者もずっと笑顔でした。マングローブやガジュマルの木に囲まれた大自然の中でのSUPは最高でした。
午後からはシュノーケリング。天気はくもりだったのですが、海の中は想像以上に美しく、ガイドさんもとても丁寧で親切に説明してくれるので、石垣の海を満喫する事ができました。
また、ガイドさんは美味しいお店など石垣の楽しみかたも教えてくれて参考になりました。

On the first day of our trip to Ishigaki Island, we signed up for a sunset SUP with my family of three. Although it was cloudy and we couldn't see the sunset, our guide provided excellent support for us beginners, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We explored through the mangroves and took photos, creating wonderful memories as a family. Thank you very much!

初めての、石垣島旅行の初日にサンセットSUPを家族3人で申し込みました。当日は曇りで夕焼けは見れませんでしたが、ガイドの方は、初心者の私達にもしっかりフォローしてくださったので、安心して楽しめました。マングローブの中を探検気分で進んで写真も撮っていただいて家族で大変良い思い出になりました。どうもありがとうございました。

I was taken to the Blue Cave by Pipi!
I have participated in snorkeling in Ishigaki several times, but this time I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle!

I was able to see many colorful fish, and I am very satisfied!
They also carefully teach you how to use the fins and mask, so I think it's reassuring for first-timers!

ピピさんに青の洞窟に連れて行ってもらいました！
石垣のシュノーケリングには何度か参加したことがありますが、今回は運良くウミガメにも出会うことができました！

カラフルなお魚もたくさん見ることができ大満足です！
フィンやマスクの使い方も丁寧に教えていただけるので初めての方でも安心だと思います！

I really thought there are fish in the ocean. It was amazing to see colorful fish swimming right in front of me! The water was a bit cold, so I want to come back when it's warmer.

本当に海って魚いるんだなって思いました。
色鮮やかな魚が目の前で泳いでて凄く不思議でした!!
水が少し冷たかったのでまた温かいときに来たいです。

I received a phone call the day before participating in the SUP at Kabira Bay regarding the meeting time and other details. I asked a few questions during that call, and they answered them politely, which made me feel at ease for the day of the experience.

On the day of the activity, it was quite windy, and I was told that the difficulty level of the SUP was high, but thanks to the thorough pre-lecture and the cheerful encouragement from the staff, I was able to enjoy the activity!

Additionally, during the shuttle bus ride, they shared information about Ishigaki Island, making it feel like I was on a sightseeing bus, and I was able to spend the travel time meaningfully.

I would like to participate in another tour organized by this company next time.

川平湾SUPに参加するにあたり、前日に集合時間等のお電話をいただきました。その際に何点か質問したのですが、丁寧に答えていただいたため、安心して体験の日を迎えることができました。
当日は、風が強く、SUPの難易度が高いとのことでしたが、事前の丁寧なレクチャーやスタッフの方の明るい声がけで、アクティビティを楽しむことができました！
また送迎バス内では石垣島についてお話ししてくださり、観光バスに乗っているような気分で、移動の時間も有意義な時間を過ごすことができました！
次回もこちらの会社が催行するツアーに参加したいと思います。
