Honestly, I thought I would see plenty of the ocean if I went to Ishigaki Island, so I wanted to learn about some different attractions of Ishigaki Island. That's when I found this tour. In the morning, we landed on the Phantom Island and went snorkeling (ocean), and in the afternoon, we did mangrove kayaking (river), which was a perfect balance and not just focused on the ocean. Both the Phantom Island and the mangroves took us to places that would be impossible to reach on our own, so I’m glad I participated.
正直石垣島に行けば海はたくさん見れるだろうから、何か違った石垣島の魅力も知りたい、と思っていたところでこのツアーを見つけました。午前中に幻の島上陸とシュノーケリング(海)、午後にマングローブのカヤック(川)となっており、海一辺倒にならずちょうどよい内容でした。幻の島もマングローブも、個人では到底たどり着けないような場所に連れて行ってくれるので、参加してよかったです。

On the snorkeling tour to the phantom island, I was able to see and enjoy the sea surrounding the phantom island made of pure white sand, with its cerulean blue, cobalt blue, or turquoise blue waters, and actually swim in it. On the mangrove tour, I was able to enjoy a green world surrounded by lush mangroves along the river. Both landscapes were vibrant, and I could greatly feel the different environment compared to Honshu, which was a wonderful refreshment.
幻の島シュノーケリングツアーでは、真っ白な砂浜でできた幻の島を取り囲む、セルリアンブルー?コバルトブルー?ターコイズブルー?な海を目で見て、実際に泳いで体で感じて楽しめました。マングローブツアーでは周りを瑞々しいマングローブに囲まれた川でグリーンの世界を堪能できました。どちらの景色も鮮やかで、本州とはまた違った環境を大いに感じることができ、良いリフレッシュとなりました。

In the morning, I was picked up at the hotel and headed to the boat dock for the Phantom Island, which took about 10 minutes. From there, we took a boat to Phantom Island for about 20 minutes. While on the boat, it's better to wear something like a windbreaker since you'll get splashed by the wind and water. At Phantom Island, the guide takes a lot of photos with a waterproof camera, so it's a good idea to think of poses in advance, haha. When snorkeling, you'll enter the sea in a wetsuit, so there's no need to worry about the cold. I was satisfied to see a different breathtaking view compared to the snorkeling at the Blue Cave the day before!
I experienced canoeing on the "Miyara River" in the mangroves. Perhaps because I had tried SUP the day before, the stability of the canoe was amazing, and I felt very secure while paddling. Since I had plenty of room, I was able to enjoy the scenery of the surrounding mangroves while paddling, which was a lot of fun. I noticed other participants trying SUP, and it seemed quite easy to do since the Miyara River had almost no waves and the current was gentle. Now I want to try SUP in the mangroves next time!
朝にホテルに迎えにきてもらい、幻の島へ行くボード乗り場まで10分ほどかけて向かいました。そこから20分ほどかけて幻の島までボートで向かいました。ボートに乗っている間は風や水しぶきを受けるので、濡れても良いウィンドブレーカーのようなものを着るのがベターです。幻の島ではガイドさんが防水カメラで写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、ポーズを事前に考えておいた方が良いです笑。シュノーケリング時はウェットスーツで海に入るので、寒さの心配などは不要かと思います。前日の青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングとは違った絶景を見ることができ、満足でした!
マングローブは「宮良川」という川でカヌーを体験しました。前日にSUPを体験していたためか、カヌーの安定感がすごく、とても安心して乗れました。だいぶ余裕があったため周りのマングローブの景色も楽しみながら漕ぐことができ、とても楽しかったです。他の参加者の方でSUPに挑戦している方もおられましたが、宮良川は波がほとんどなく流れも穏やかだったため、かなりやりやすそうだと傍目に見て感じました。今度はマングローブでSUPもやってみたくなりました。

I was worried about the unstable weather forecast, but I was lucky that the weather was nice on the day of my visit. I was satisfied because I could enjoy both the sea and mangroves of Ishigaki Island. The snorkeling in the Blue Cave was amazing, with so many fish that I never got bored swimming. I fell in love with the sea of Ishigaki Island to the point where I wanted to swim in another location. The mangrove experience was relaxing and not too active, making it perfect after snorkeling. I want to come back in the summer next time!
天気予報の内容が不安定で心配したけど、当日は天気も良くラッキーでした。
石垣島の海とマングローブの両方を魅力を味わうことができたので満足できました。
青の洞窟のシュノーケリングは魚がたくさんでほんとに泳いでいて飽きなかったです。また別の場所で泳ぎたくなるぐらい、石垣島の海のことが大好きになりました。
マングローブはアクティブすぎずゆったり感があって、シュノーケリングをした後にはぴったりの内容でした。
次は夏に来たい!

I participated in a different tour with the same company the day before, and this tour had a different guide. I had a very good impression of both the content and the guide from the previous day's tour, so I was looking forward to this one as well, and it turned out to be just as enjoyable and fulfilling. The canoe cruising in the mangroves, in particular, offered a different experience from the sea, allowing me to appreciate an unexpected side of Ishigaki Island. The guide was a bit different from the one from the previous day; he was calm, knowledgeable, and created a reassuring atmosphere. He shared many interesting stories about the history of Ishigaki Island, marine life, and the formation of the mangroves, making the content more enriching than I had anticipated. By the way, during the tour, the guide from the previous day greeted us while he was with other customers, which made me very happy. Over these two days, I realized that this company has various types of guides, and I could feel that, despite their different styles, they all equally love Ishigaki Island. I definitely want to participate in other tours as well. When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to join again.
前日に同じ会社の違うツアーに参加したのですが、こちらのツアーではまた違うガイドの方が担当でした。前日のツアーに関して内容・担当のガイドともに大変良い印象だったのこちらも楽しみにしていたところ、見事こちらのツアーも楽しく充実したものでした。特にマングローブでのカヌークルージングは海とはまた一味違った味わいがあり、石垣島の意外な一面を感じることができよかったです。ガイドの方は前日の担当ガイドさんとは少しタイプが異なり、穏やかで知識豊富で、安心感のある雰囲気がありました。石垣島の歴史や海の生物、マングローブの成り立ちなど興味深い話をたくさんしてくださり、予想以上に充実した内容でした。ちなみにツアー中に、前日担当してくださったガイドの方が他のお客さんを連れている中で私たちに声をかけ挨拶してくださったのがとてもうれしい気持ちになりました。この2日間でこの会社(ショップ?)は様々なタイプのガイドが所属されていることが分かり、皆さんが形は異なれど等しく石垣島を愛していらっしゃることが感じ取れました。ほかのツアーにもぜひ参加したくなりました。また石垣島に来たときはぜひお願いします。

I participated at the beginning of December! I originally planned to do SUP in the mangroves of Iriomote Island and snorkeling at Balas Island, but I had to give up because the waves were rough and there were many ferry cancellations during that time. After researching, I found out that I could also do SUP in the mangroves of Ishigaki Island, so I made a request. I was also interested in the Blue Cave, so when I looked for a tour that included snorkeling at the Blue Cave, I ended up at this shop. However, in December, the Blue Cave snorkeling point was dangerous due to rough waves, so we snorkeled at a different point in the southern part of Ishigaki Island. I had the impression that a full-day tour would have a fixed lunch location and not much freedom, but here we disbanded once at lunchtime and could eat wherever we liked, which was great. I was happy that they took about 200 photos and even videos. They suggested photo-worthy poses, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.
12月のはじめに参加いたしました!
本当は西表島のマングローブでSUPプラスバラス島でシュノーケルを予定していたのですが波が荒く、フェリーの欠航が多い時期だったため断念しました。
調べたところ石垣島にもマングローブでSUPが出来ることを知りお願いしました。
青の洞窟も気になっていたので青の洞窟シュノーケルとセットになっているツアーを探したところこちらのショップさんに辿り着きました。
ですが12月は青の洞窟のポイントは、波が荒くて危険なため石垣島南部の別のポイントでシュノーケルをしました。
丸1日ツアーでは、昼食場所が決まっていたり自由が無いイメージでしたがこちらは昼時に一度解散し好きな所で食事出来たり自由で良かったです。
写真200枚ほど+動画まで撮っていただいて嬉しかったです。写真映えするポーズを提案して頂けたりとても良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

This time, I signed up for the mangrove and Blue Cave tour, but I received a notification by noon the day before that due to a forecast of strong winds, we wouldn't be able to enter the Blue Cave. I was shocked that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but since I was contacted early the day before, I decided to participate only in the mangrove tour (of course, with a refund for that portion). On the day of the tour, the staff were friendly and kind, and their explanations were thorough, allowing me to fully enjoy the mangrove kayaking! Since it was during a holiday period, there were many participants, and the mangrove area was a bit crowded with customers, but the fun conversations and numerous photo opportunities made it enjoyable, and in the end, they sent me all the photos! It was quite wet, and if it had been SUP, there was a possibility of capsizing, so bringing my phone was difficult, but receiving the photos was a great help! I participated in the kayak this time, but I was very satisfied, so I am considering requesting SUP for the next time. Thank you very much!
今回はマングローブと青の洞窟ツアーを申込みさせていただきましたが、強風の予報が出て、青の洞窟には入れない為、マングローブのみで参加可能か、もしくはキャンセルか前日のお昼には連絡がありました。青の洞窟に行けないことはショックだったんですが、前日早めにご連絡いただけたこともあり、マングローブだけ参加を決めました(もちろんその分の返金あり)。当日はスタッフさんも気さくで親切で説明も丁寧で、マングローブ カヤックを存分に楽しむ事が出来ました!連休中だったので参加者も多く、マングローブもお客さんで渋滞気味でしたが、それに気を遣わせないくらいの楽しいトークやたくさんの写真撮影をしていただき、最後は写真も全て送っていただけました!結構濡れるし、SUPだった場合はひっくり返る可能性もある為、携帯の持参は難しかったのですが、写真プレゼントは助かりました!今回はカヤックでの参加でしたが、大変満足度が高かったので、次回はSUPでお願いしたいなと考えています。この度はありがとうございました!

I was a bit anxious because there were few questions during the reservation, but I received a phone call the day before the event to confirm the reservation details, explain the pickup location and time, and inquire about the participants' ages and body types (since we would be wearing wetsuits). I happened to be with someone who was participating with me, so I could answer right away, but I thought it might be good to summarize questions in advance for groups of friends or others who might not know immediately.
On the day of the event, a very friendly guide picked us up on time, and we started our journey. While picking up other participants, the guide shared a lot of stories about the island and recommended some bars, which made the trip enjoyable. There was also thorough explanation of safety precautions and equipment for snorkeling and SUP, and assistance was provided as needed. During the activities, the guide was attentive to surrounding boats and ensured safety. Overall, it was a satisfying experience. I would definitely like to do this again when I come back to Ishigaki Island.
予約時に質問事項が少なかったので不安でしたが開催前日に電話連絡で予約内容の確認、ピックアップ場所と時間の説明参加者の年齢や体型(ウェットスーツを着るため)がありました。一緒に参加する者と偶然一緒にいたのですぐ回答できましたが友人グループなどでの参加の場合すぐわからないかなとも思うので事前に質問まとめて予約できてもいいかなと思います。
当日はとても気さくなガイドさんが時間通りにピックアップしてくださり移動開始。他の参加者さんを拾いながらでしたが島の話やおすすめの飲み屋さんなどなどたくさん話してくださったので退屈することなく移動できました。シュノーケリングとSUPについても注意事項や装備の説明、補助もしっかりありました。アクティビティ中も周りの船など注意を促して安全に配慮した内容でした。全体に満足できる時間でした。また石垣島に来たらぜひお願いします。

We participated in a canoe tour and a tour of the Piñaisara Falls with our family of four. Our fourth-grade son and six-year-old daughter eagerly took on the canoeing and trekking challenges. The kids had a great time seeing shrimp and eels in the pool at Piñaisara Falls, and they jumped into the pool multiple times. Additionally, since it was low tide, we were able to catch many crabs, which made everyone very happy. Above all, our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, was incredibly kind and taught us many things, making it a memorable and valuable experience. Thank you very much!
家族4人でカヌーツアー&ピナイサーラの滝壺ツアーに参加しました。小学4年の息子と6歳の娘も元気にカヌー、トレッキングに挑戦しました。子供たちはピナイサーラの滝つぼでエビやウナギを見たり、滝つぼに何度も飛び込んだりととても楽しんでいました。また、干潮だったこともあり、河の水が引いて多くのカニを捕まえることが出来て皆、大喜びでした。そして何よりもガイドの岩本さんがとても親切に色んなことを教えて頂き、思い出に残る貴重な体験ができました。有難うござました!

There are morning and afternoon sessions, but I signed up for the morning session from 8:30 to 12:30. After arriving at Iriomote Island by ferry, I met up with the tour guide at the port. Once we arrived at the office, which was about a 5-minute walk, we spent about 10 minutes getting ready (filling out forms and changing clothes), then got into the car and headed to the departure point, which was about a 15-minute drive away. The tour lasted just over three and a half hours, including about 50 minutes of canoeing, 20 minutes of trekking, and nearly 30 minutes of free time at the waterfall, before returning the way we came.
Canoeing was a bit tough at first, but once I got used to it, it became easy and fun to steer. The time allocation for each activity was just right, making it a well-rounded tour that incorporated various adventure elements. When I participated, there were four guests, including myself, and one tour guide. The guide took photos at various points (which can be downloaded later from the website), and the friendly, homey atmosphere created by the guide was wonderful. It felt like I could come back next year, almost like returning home, and I would love to meet this group again!
午前の部と午後の部がありますが、私が申し込んだのは8:30-12:30の午前の部。
フェリーで西表島に到着後、港でツアーガイドさんと合流。徒歩5分くらいの事務所に着いたら、10分程度で準備(申込書記入、着替え)し
、車に乗り込んで15分くらいの所にある出発地点へ。カヌー50分程度、トレッキング20分程度、滝壺で自由時間30分弱、その後来た道を戻る3時間半ちょっとのツアーでした。
カヌーを漕ぐのが少しきついですが、慣れるとスイスイ、方向転換も出来て楽しいし、その他も程よい時間配分なので、様々なアドベンチャー要素をちょうど良く取り込んだ欲張りツアーです。
私が参加した時はツアー客が私含め4人にツアーガイドさん1人。所々でガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり(後でホームページからダウンロード出来ます)、何よりガイドさんの気さくさから来るアットホームさが良かったです。また来年、実家に帰るような気分で来れそうな、またこのメンバーに会いに来たいと思えるような素敵な時間でした!
Thank you very much. Please come again if you have the opportunity.

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, the wind and rain were strong, and I was quite anxious about my first canoe experience. However, upon arriving at Iriomote Island and receiving an explanation, my worries faded as the rain stopped just as we started paddling.
Under the guidance of our instructor, Mr. Iwamoto, we smoothly progressed into a mangrove forest. We learned about the differences between two types of roots, as well as the flowers and buds, followed by a break.
We then headed further upstream.
After getting off the canoe, we crawled up a narrow, steep slope for about 20 minutes and arrived at the Pinaisara Falls. I was surprised to hear that it has a drop of 55 meters.
After a break, we descended carefully to avoid slipping and falling. My thighs were feeling weak... I was healed by the species that inspired Ultraman, and we made our way back to the canoe launch point.
On the return trip, the tide was low, revealing sandy areas in places. We had to be careful not to get stuck in the shallows and to resist the current, but we finally arrived.
With a full course of activities including the sea, river, mountain climbing, waterfalls, and canoeing, it was a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.
石垣島を出港する時は風雨が強く初めてのカヌー体験かなり不安でしたが、西表島に着き説明を受け、カヌーを漕ぎ出すころには雨が止み不安は払拭。
ガイドの岩本さんの指導のもと、順調に進むとマングローブの森に。2種類の根の違いや花や芽の説明を聞き、ブレークタイム。
さらに川の上流へ。
カヌーを降り、狭く急な斜面を這うように登ること20分、ピナイサーラの滝へ到着。
落差が55mと聞き驚き。
休憩後、滑って滑落しないように下山。
太ももにチカラが入らない…
