Due to the weather the previous day, the entry point was changed from the boat entry at the Phantom Island to the beach entry at the Blue Cave. While it's understandable to make changes for weather reasons, there was no suggestion of a refund until I brought it up, and the initial response was not satisfactory.
I mentioned twice to the local guide that one of my companions was a beginner at snorkeling, but the explanations and lessons before starting were cursory, and the pace of snorkeling was too fast, causing my beginner friend to nearly drown.
There was no need to rush, yet we overtook the previous group and deviated from the beautiful coral reef points. In the end, we had to wait for another group to return.
On the return bus, the accelerator pedal became unresponsive, and we had to wait a long time for a replacement vehicle (which had air conditioning issues). The afternoon activity was with the same company, but there was no adjustment to the start time, and I couldn't go to the restaurant I wanted due to the busy lunch schedule.
During the afternoon mangrove kayaking, one of the kayaks had a hole in it, and without a cap to prevent air loss, water entered the boat, causing it to nearly sink.
The young guides seemed to be doing their best, but I wonder about the company's overall standards. Are they not treating tourists with respect?
前日天候によりボートエントリーの幻の島からビーチエントリーの青の洞窟に変更。天候理由なら仕方ないがこちらから申し出るまで差額返金提案はなく、一次回答は納得の行くものではなかった
同行者にシュノーケリング初心者がいる事を現地ガイドに2度も申し上げたが、開始前の説明やレッスンはおざなりで、シュノーケリングのスピードも早く初心者の友達は溺れそうになった
急ぐ必要もないのに前のグループを追い越す様にサンゴ礁の綺麗なポイントを外れてコース取りした。その挙げ句に別のグループが戻るのを待たされた
送迎バスは帰路、アクセルペダルが踏み込めなくなり、代車(エアコン不調)を待つのに時間を要した。昼を挟んで午後のアクティビティも同じ催行会社だったが、開始時間の調整はなく、昼が忙しく行きたい店に行けなかった
午後のマングローブカヤックでは一艘に穴が空いており空気抜け防止蓋もなく船内に水が入り沈没仕掛けた
若いガイドさん達はそれなりに頑張ってるのだろうけど会社としてちょっとどうなんでしょうね
観光客をバカにした商売してませんか?

We participated with two adults and three children. We wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding, but since we had three small children, we were recommended to go canoeing instead, which we did on short notice. As we paddled through the mangroves, we were deeply healed by the beautiful scenery and nature that we don't usually see. The guide was very kind to the children, had a wealth of knowledge, and we all had a fun and meaningful time together.
For lunch, we ate Yaeyama soba at Hirara Shoten, which the guide recommended. It had a rich flavor and was very delicious.
In the afternoon, we went snorkeling, and since we were the last group, there were only scattered seats left for us with the kids, which was a bit challenging. I would appreciate it if that could be improved. Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we were taken to an alternative snorkeling spot where we were lucky enough to see sea turtles in the beautiful sea. We were tired but had a very satisfying time.
The guide was also very good at interacting with the children and keeping them happy. My eldest son was a bit tired and grumpy, but the guide helped us a lot, and I am very grateful.
大人2人子供3人で参加しました。サップ希望でしたが、小さな子供3人でしたので、カヌーを勧められ、急遽カヌーに乗りました。マングローブを進みながら、普段見られない景色、自然にとても癒されました。ガイドさんは、子どもたちに優しく話しかけて下さり、知識も豊富で、みんなで楽しく有意義な時間を過ごせました。
お昼は、ガイドさんがおススメしてくれた、平良商店で八重山そばを食べましたが、濃い味でとても美味しかったです。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、バスで連れて行ってもらうのですが、私たちが最後の順番だったため、子連れでもバラバラの席しか残っていなかったのが、少し大変でした。そこを改善していただけたら、嬉しいです。台風の影響で、青の洞窟へは行けなかったですが、代わりのシュノーケルスポットに連れて行っていただき、綺麗な海の中、海ガメも運良く見られて、疲れたけど、大満足な時間を過ごせました。
子どもたちへの対応、ご機嫌をとるのもとても上手なガイドさんで、長男が少し疲れただのグズグズ言ってましたが、たくさん助けていただき、感謝しかないです。

There were several families and groups participating, and it felt like there was one staff member for every two families. They patiently taught us how to attach the fins.
Our family, with a 5-year-old and an 8-year-old, was snorkeling for the first time, and the explanation on how to wear the masks was very thorough. Even my timid eldest son felt reassured and decided to try the goggle type instead of the full-face mask we brought. My younger son found it a bit difficult, so he used the full-face type we brought.
Once we were in the sea, there were floatation rings to hold onto when we got tired, which made snorkeling very comfortable. Additionally, the guide who accompanied our family kindly encouraged the children, allowing them to swim with confidence. The underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, making us feel like we were in an aquarium. It was the best! The children were so moved by the underwater world they saw while snorkeling that they ranked it as their top memory from our trip to Ishigaki Island.
After arriving at the Phantom Island, I got a bit seasick while snorkeling and couldn't move much, but the guide took care of the children and played with them, helping them search for shells, which was a huge relief.
We also had many wonderful photos taken, and I immediately printed and displayed them! They even filmed us swimming from below, which is my favorite part (^^).
On the way back on the boat, we were given recommendations for delicious places to eat taco rice, hamburgers, and soba, and when we actually went, they were incredibly tasty!!
I would love to participate in this tour again; it was truly exceptional. Thank you!
何組か参加している家族やグループがありましたが、2家族に1人くらいの感じでスタッフさんが付いてくれて、フィンの付け方から丁寧に教えてくれました。
我が家は5歳と8歳の子連れで初シュノーケリングでしたが、マスクの付け方の説明もとても丁寧で臆病な長男も、持参したフルフェイスのマスクではなく、ゴーグルタイプのでやってみる!と安心して挑戦できました。次男はまだ難しかったので持参のフルフェイスタイプを使用しました。
海に出てからは、疲れたときなど掴まれる浮き輪があったので、安心してシュノーケルできました。
また、私たち家族についてくれたガイドさんがやさしく声をかけてくれたので、子どもたちも頑張って泳げました。
海の中はとってもキレイで、水族館の中にいるような気分。最高でした!子どもたちも、石垣島旅行の思い出の1番にあげるくらい、シュノーケルで見た海の世界が感動的だったようです。
幻の島に着いてからは、私が少しシュノーケル中に酔ってしまい、あまり動けなかったのですが、担当のガイドさんが子どもと一緒に遊んでくれ、貝探しをして楽しませてくれたりと、本当に助かりました。
ステキな写真も沢山撮ってもらい、さっそくプリントして飾っています!
ムービーも撮っていただき、泳いでいる様子を下から撮っていただいたものがお気に入りです(^^)
帰りの船では、タコライス、ハンバーガー、そばの美味しいお店を教えてもらい、実際に行ったら最高に美味しかったです!!
またこちらのツアーにお世話になりたいと思うほど、至れり尽せりでした。

I believe it was related to the tide, but we first went snorkeling at the coral reef and then headed to the Phantom Island. The staff were very kind, and I am especially grateful to the captain for even filming a video of Nemo for us.
At Phantom Island, it's essential to wear sandals or marine shoes to avoid injuries, but if you place your hands on the white sandy beach, pieces of coral can prick your hands and hurt, so if you have marine gloves, it's a good idea to wear them for safety. If you're aiming for Instagram-worthy photos, you can take off the gloves just for that moment.
Finally, when we returned to the port, the captain's docking skills were incredible and left me in awe. To land perfectly at that speed is truly impressive!
おそらく潮位の関係だと思いますが、最初にサンゴ礁でシュノーケル、その後に幻の島へ行きました。
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、特に船長さんにはニモの動画まで撮っていただき大変感謝しています。
幻の島では怪我をしないようにサンダルやマリンシューズが必須ですが、白い砂浜に手をつくとサンゴのかけたものが手に刺さって痛いので、マリングローブがある方はつけておくと安心です。インスタ映えを狙うならその時だけグローブを外す感じで。
最後、港に帰着するときの船長の着岸が神業で感動しました。あの速度で一発で決めるなんてさすがですね・・。

It seems there are cheaper plans available for direct bookings. While it says "VELTRA's activities are at the best price," I contacted them just to check, but they only introduced me to other plans, and the prices for those plans remained high.

In the morning, I participated in a stand-up paddleboarding tour, and in the afternoon, I joined a snorkeling tour. Both had calm waves, and I was really able to enjoy them. However, there isn't a place or time to change, so if you plan to participate, I think it's a good idea to consider where to change beforehand.

I went canoeing at Kabira Bay. It was a bit cloudy, but I was able to take a lot of photos. They turned out very beautiful, and I'm satisfied. I chose the full-day course, but we returned near the hotel in the morning and then took a bus to do the same course again in the afternoon, so it might be nice to have different optional activities for the morning and afternoon. It felt like a bit of a time loss there. It would have been better if we had some time to stroll around Kabira Bay during lunch.
I was also anxious about snorkeling, but I received solid support and was able to swim happily. I had misunderstood and thought we would be snorkeling inside the Blue Cave.
川平湾でカヌーをしました少し曇りもありましたが沢山写真を撮っていただきました。画像にするととても綺麗で満足です。1日コースにしたのですが、午前に一旦ホテル近くまで戻ってきて、また昼から同じコースをバスで行くため、午前と午後別のオプショナルでもいい感じです。そこが少し時間のロスのような。川平湾で昼散策する時間があったらよりよかったかも。
シュノーケルも不安でしたがしっかりサポートしてもらい楽しく泳ぐことができました。青の洞窟のなかをシュノーケルするのかと勘違いしてました。

Canoeing and snorkeling were both fun! Canoeing was easier than I expected. As long as the two of us coordinated well, it was simpler than a regular boat! Fortunately, I encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling! If you want to enjoy the underwater views, especially the coral, it's essential for those with poor eyesight to have prescription goggles. They can provide goggles for you! There is a bit of downtime between canoeing and snorkeling, so you can enjoy swimming at the beach where you meet for snorkeling after having lunch.
カヌー、シュノーケリングともに楽しかったです!
カヌーは思ったよりも簡単にできました。2人の息さえ合えば普通のボートよりも簡単です!
シュノーケリングは運良くウミガメにも出会えました!サンゴをはじめ水中の眺めを楽しむなら視力が悪いひとは度付きゴーグルは必須です!ゴーグルは用意してもらえます!
カヌーとシュノーケリングの間に多少時間を持て余すので、昼食を済ませてシュノーケリングの待ち合わせ場所の砂浜で海水浴を楽しむことができます。

- I had elementary school children with me, but the tour guide who accompanied us took great care of them, and the kids were also very satisfied. I was a bit worried about seasickness, but there was little rocking, and with the sunshade, it was comfortable, so there was no need for concern.

I participated in the morning course with my teenage daughters. The timing was well organized, and we thoroughly enjoyed both snorkeling and the Phantom Island. When we arrived at the island, it was crowded, so the captain kindly adjusted the order of snorkeling and the island visit. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy both activities at a relaxed pace. It was also helpful that they picked us up at the bus stop during the meeting time. I was unsure which tour to choose when I signed up, but I'm glad I chose this one. Thank you!
午前のコースで10代の娘たちと参加しました。時間の配合がよく、シュノーケルも幻の島も十分満喫しました。幻の島到着時に島が混んでいたため、船長さんの計らいでシュノーケルと島の順番が変わりました。おかげさまでどちらもゆったりと楽しめました。集合時にはバス停まで迎えに来てもらえて助かりました。申込時にはどのツアーにしようかと迷いましたが、ここにしてよかったです。ありがとうございました!

This tour was absolutely amazing overall! With the careful guidance from our guide, we paddled our own canoe through the mystical mangroves! It was truly moving! The snorkeling allowed us to explore a beautiful underwater world that felt like stepping into the realms of Nemo and Ariel, where we encountered many fish and colorful coral reefs!!! Additionally, the guide shared information about the nature of Ishigaki Island, which was educational as well! The cancellation policy was also well-structured; they called the day before the tour to inform us about the weather conditions and whether the tour would proceed. If it couldn't go ahead, they confirmed whether we could cancel for free or reschedule for another day, which made us feel secure about participating in the tour!!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Ishigaki Island!!!
今回のツアーは全体的に最高でした!ガイドさんからの丁寧な指導があった上で、神秘的なマングローブの中を自分でカヌーをこいで進んでゆきます!感動しました!シュノーケリングは、まるでニモやアリエルの世界に入り込んだかのような美しい海中を探検することができ、たくさんの魚や色とりどりの珊瑚礁に出会うことができます!!!また、ガイドさんが石垣島の自然についてお話をしてくだり、学びにもつながります!キャンセルポリシーもしっかりしており、ツアーの前日に電話で天候状況によるツアー決行の有無を伝えてくださり、もし決行できない場合は無料キャンセルか別日に改めるかの確認がしっかりあったため、安心してツアーに参加することができました!!!石垣島を訪れた際にはぜひ参加してほしいツアーです!!!

We participated as a family of three adults (a couple in their 50s and a high school-aged son). On the day of the activity, there were occasional downpours and unstable weather, but there were also sunny intervals, so the activities went ahead as planned.
The canoeing was for two people, so with our group of three, one person had to go solo. It was challenging to paddle due to the wind, but we were able to enjoy it with some support along the way. There was about a two-hour gap until the afternoon snorkeling, so we were able to visit Kabira Bay for sightseeing and a meal, but since we couldn't change into dry clothes during this time, dining options were limited. It would be wise to check in advance if possible.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I struggled a bit with the technique. The instructor was helpful, but time was limited, so it's better to research the basics beforehand. That said, once you get the hang of it, I think anyone can do it (though it might be challenging for families with small children).
The schedule was quite strict, so the pace was pretty fast. It felt somewhat athletic in nature. There aren't any solid facilities nearby for changing into marine shoes, putting on life jackets, or for toilets, showers, and changing rooms (though there is transportation available for those going to the island terminal between the morning and afternoon sessions), so it can feel inconvenient. However, some patience is necessary to enjoy the great outdoors.
That said, it was a wonderfully fulfilling day!
大人家族3人(50代夫婦、高校生男子)で参加しました。
当日は時々スコールもあり不安定な空模様、でも晴れ間もありアクティビティ決行でした。
カヌーは2人乗りで3人グループだと1人乗りが1台です。風もあったので漕ぐのが大変でしたが時々サポートしてもらい楽しめました。午後のシュノケリングまでは2時間程あるので川平湾まで行って観光と食事も楽しめましたが、この間は水着で着替えることができないので食事できる場所は限られます。
できれば確認をした方が懸命です。
シュノーケリングは初めてだったのでやり方が今ひとつわからず悪戦苦闘。インストラクターの方が教えてはくれますが時間はないので、ある程度のやり方は事前に自身で調べておいた方がよいですね。
とは言え、少し慣れてくるとだれでも出来ると思います(小さいお子さん連れは大変そうですが)。
時間キッチリなので、けっこうスピーディーな進行です。割と体育会系な印象です。
アクティビティの場所的にも近くにしっかりとした施設は無いのでマリンシューズの履き替えやライフジャケットの装着場所、トイレ、シャワー、更衣室などはないので(送迎有りで午前と午後の間に離島ターミナルに行く人はあります)不便さは感じます。大自然を味わうにはそういう部分の我慢は多少必要かも。
とは言え素晴らしく充実した1日でしたね。

My children, who are in 2nd grade, 4th grade, and 1st year of middle school, said it was the most fun they had during our trip to Ishigaki Island! My youngest is not a strong swimmer and was scared at first, but thanks to the life jacket and the guide's attentiveness and gentle encouragement, they were able to enjoy it without fear. I was also happy to receive the photos taken during the tour on the same day. Since the kids have requested it, we will definitely participate again when we travel to Ishigaki Island!
マングローブカヌーツアーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
小2、小4、中1の子供達は、今回の石垣島旅行で1番楽しかった!と言ってました。
末っ子は泳ぎが苦手で、最初は怖がっていましたが、ライフジャケットを着用していたのと、ガイドさんの気配りと優しい声掛けで、怖がる事なく楽しめました。
ツアー中に撮影した写真をその日の内にいただけたのも嬉しかったです。
子供達のリクエストもあるので、また石垣島へ旅行する際には参加します!

I participated with a friend. I was a bit nervous about snorkeling, but I felt at ease because they taught us carefully from the beginning! During the drive, we got to hear about the gourmet food and recommended spots in Ishigaki Island, making it a very meaningful time overall! I highly recommend everyone to listen in! During snorkeling, I learned a lot about the ocean, which made it even more enjoyable! Since we had free time on Taketomi Island, it was great to move at our own pace! We also received photos, and overall, it was a plan with 100% satisfaction!
友達と2人で参加をしました。シュノーケリングに対して少し緊張感があったのですが、一から丁寧に教えていただいたので安心して参加が出来ました!
移動中の車で石垣島のグルメやおすすめスポットのお話が聞けて、そこも含めてとても有意義な時間でした!皆さんもぜひ聞いてみていただきたいです!
シュノーケリングの時も、海の知識を沢山教えていただけて、より楽しめました!
竹富島も自由行動なので、自分達のタイミングで動けて良かったです!
写真ももらえて、総じて満足度100%のプランでした!

Thank you for accommodating my request to change from kayak to Sap on-site. Experiencing Sap for the first time felt like seeing a different view compared to kayaking!
カヤックからSapに現地で変更をお願いてしまったにもかかわらず対応していただき、ありがとうございました。初Sapを経験させていただきカヤックとは違う景色が見れた感じでした!

I joined the tour because I wanted to see beautiful coral. Being able to borrow a GoPro and visit the Phantom Island to see the coral was the best tour for me.
The Ishigaki Coral Reef was amazing, with plenty of fish. I was able to take photos and videos with the GoPro, which became a great memory. The staff at the shop took photos and videos for us, which made me very happy. They also provided explanations about the coral. Although I'm a beginner at snorkeling, I was able to enjoy it comfortably.
The Phantom Island was as beautiful as I expected. We arrived at a good tide time and were able to take lovely photos.
I would like to join another tour on my next trip to Ishigaki Island.
美しい珊瑚が見たくてツアーに参加しました。GoProが借りられ幻の島に行けて、珊瑚が見れるなんて私にとってベストなツアーです。
石西礁湖は珊瑚が素晴らしく、魚もたくさんいました。GoProで写真、動画撮れて、とてもいい記念になりました。ショップの人が写真、動画を撮ってくださり、嬉しかったです。珊瑚の説明もして頂けました。シュノーケルは初心者ですが、安心して見ることができました。
幻の島は思った通りとても綺麗でした。潮位のいい時間に着き、綺麗に写真を撮ることができました。
次回の石垣島旅行、またツアーに参加したいと思っています。

I wanted to enjoy the sea on the last day despite the typhoon's impact, so I was looking for a fulfilling plan for the day.
I was worried about whether I could paddle well in the kayak, but I was able to enjoy it comfortably as a beginner. The mangroves were quite mystical, as I don't often get the chance to see them. Since it was the last day, I was glad to have time to buy souvenirs along the way!
During snorkeling, the waves were calm, and there were many fish, offering a view that I can't see in Osaka. I got a wonderful photo taken in the Blue Cave!
I heard that the strong winds mix the seawater, which helps maintain the coral and ecosystem of the southern sea, and after the typhoon passed, the water was clear and very beautiful.
Thank you, Yuga and Hiro, for the fun guiding!!!
台風の影響で最終日にでも海に入りたい!ということで一日充実できるプランを探していました。
カヤックでは、うまく漕ぐことができるか不安でしたが初心者でも安心して楽しむことができました✨
マングローブもなかなかみる機会がないので神秘的でした。最終日だったので間に、お土産も途中で買う時間があったのでよかったです!
シュノーケリングでは、波も穏やかで魚もたくさんいて大阪ではみれない景色でした。
青の洞窟でとっても素敵な一枚を撮ってもらいました!
強い風で海水をかきまぜることで南の海のサンゴや生態系を維持するという意味があるそうで、実際に台風が終わったあとは水が透き通っておりとても綺麗でした。
ユウガさん、ヒロさん楽しいガイドをありがとうございました!!!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour with Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
Both the mangroves and snorkeling have their unique charms, and I am truly happy that you were able to enjoy them to the fullest!
I was also thrilled to see such a beautiful sea while snorkeling after a long time, and it was the most exciting experience I've had recently! I look forward to swimming in this beautiful sea with all of you again!!!
We will continue to enjoy ourselves wholeheartedly and share smiles and happiness with all of humanity.
Until we meet again…

I heard there was a free GoPro rental, but since I had never used one before, I had given up on it. However, the SD card was only 1,000 yen, so I decided to give it a try. Even though it was my first experience, I was able to capture beautiful shots of the fish and corals. The staff were very kind, and I had a really enjoyable time. Thank you! ♪
GoPro無料レンタルとの事だったのですか使った事がなかったので諦めていたのですがSDカード1000円だったので初体験させて頂きました。
初体験なのに魚ややサンゴ達もとっても綺麗に撮れました。スタッフの方達もとても親切で凄く楽しい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました♪

幻の島はめちゃくちゃキレイでした!!

シュノーケルもたくさんの魚やサンゴが見れて大満足です。
GoProの無料貸出も嬉しいサービスでした!

We participated as a family with our two children, aged 4 and 7. Each group had a staff member assigned to them, who took great care of the kids during snorkeling! They even dove underwater to fetch sea cucumbers (laughs) and made sure the children had a fun time in the ocean, which was really great. It was the kids' first snorkeling experience, and they were able to participate without any worries. Thank you very much!
4歳、7歳の2人の子どもを連れて家族で参加しました。
1グループに1人スタッフの方が付いてくださり、
シュノーケル中も丁寧に子どものケアもして下さいました!なまこを海中に潜って取ってきて下さったり(笑)子どもが楽しく海で過ごせる工夫もして下さりとても良かったです。
子どもたちにとって初めてのシュノーケルでも、心配なく参加できました。ありがとうございました!

The transportation to the hotel on the day was very convenient. Also, I made a mistake with the number of people in my reservation, but they kindly accommodated me on short notice, which was really helpful. The staff were all very nice, making it a fun tour.
The weather was great and the location was perfect, so I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much.
当日はホテルまで送迎付きで凄く楽でした。
また、人数を間違えて予約してましたが急な対応にも親切にしてくれて本当に助かりました。
また、スタッフの皆さんが言い方ばかりで楽しいツアーとなりました。
天気もよくロケーションも最高だったので参加して本当に良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The beautiful island was amazing! I had some concerns about the tide being at 190 centimeters, but I participated based on the staff's advice. As a result, I was able to see the crescent moon view I hoped for! The staff's support was wonderful for everyone, from my 3-year-old to the high school students, and we all had a satisfying time! They also taught us how to take photos, and we got some great shots!
幻の島がすごくきれいで最高でした!潮位190センチの時間帯に不安があったけど、スタッフさんの意見を参考に参加。結果、三日月の希望する景色をみれました!3歳の子から高校生の子までスタッフさんの対応が素晴らしく全員満足の時間でした!写真の撮り方も教えてくれて映え写真撮れました!
