All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I experienced snorkeling near the Blue Cave for about an hour. The weather was bad that day with high waves, but I was able to see fish that usually don't come to shallow waters, so it seems like the weather doesn't matter much unless it's pouring rain. When the sun peeked out occasionally, the sea was very blue, and there were many colorful fish, which was beautiful. I was very satisfied because I even saw Nemo.

Regarding the activity arrangements, I received a call for final confirmation around 5 PM the day before, which was reassuring. Originally, I had booked a plan for two activities, SUP and snorkeling, in the morning, but due to a lack of participants, I ended up only experiencing snorkeling. Since it was my first time, I was quite tired, so I think it was fine to just do snorkeling.

1時間ほど青の洞窟付近の海でシュノーケリングを体験しました。当日は天気が悪く波が高かったのですが、その分普段浅瀬にいないような魚たちが見れたそうなので、天気は大雨じゃない限りは気にしなくて良さそうです。
たまに晴れ間が見えた時に海がとても青く、カラフルな魚がたくさんいて綺麗でした。ニモも見れたのでとても満足感が高いです。
アクティビティの調整については、前日の17時過ぎくらいに電話がかかってきて最終確認が出来たので安心できました。もともと予約をしていたSUPとシュノーケリングの2アクティビティを午前のみで行うプランについては、人数不足ということでシュノーケリングだけを体験することになりましたが、初めてだったこともありかなり疲れたのでシュノーケリングだけで良かったと思います。

My first time in Ishigaki Island, and I felt reassured with the hotel pick-up service. Sebastian was very cheerful and introduced us to recommended restaurants during the transfer, along with some perks outside of the tour.

Canoeing was a first for me, but they taught me very carefully and were always watching over me, so I could participate with peace of mind.

Even on a cloudy day, snorkeling allowed us to see beautiful corals and fish, which was very satisfying.

Hiroki, our guide, was very pleasant, and we were able to enjoy the day thoroughly.

You can't experience this kind of reassurance without being on a tour!

初めての石垣島、ホテルまで送迎してもらえて安心でした　セバスチャンがとても明るく送迎中、オススメの飲食店を紹介してくれてツアー外の特典あり
カヌーは初めてでしたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらえて常に見守ってくれていたので安心して参加できました
シュノーケリングは曇りの日でもキレイな珊瑚やお魚が見れて大満足
担当のひろきさんがとても感じがよくて、1日楽しく過ごすことができました
ツアーでないと安心して、この体験は味わえない！

This time, I participated in the VELTRA tour program "Mangrove SUP or Canoe Plan" with my family. Unlike the recent heat, it was pleasantly cool due to the typhoon's influence. We took photos together in the Yaeyama mangrove forest. Before getting on the kayak, we were lucky enough to spot a crab. It looked delicious, but I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't take it home, so we let it go. ^_^

Since it was my first time kayaking, I initially struggled and spun around in the river. However, with the guidance of our instructor, Aoi, I gradually got the hang of it. I heard that there are over 100 different types of plants in the Yaeyama mangrove. The water there is a mix of river and seawater, which has a high salt content, making it toxic to regular plants. I learned for the first time that these plants have survived for hundreds of years by collecting the toxins in specific leaves and dropping them. We spotted various animals living there. On the way back, it was wonderful to see the surrounding plants and hear the birds while progressing through the river, enjoying the scenery.

今度は家族を連れてVELTRAのツアープログラム「マングローブSUPorカヌー付きプラン」を参加しました。先日の暑さと違って台風の影響で涼しくなり気持ち良かったです。ヤエヤマヒルギの林にで家族と一緒に写真を取りました。カヤックに乗る前に運よくガニを見つけました。おいしそうに見えるけど持ち帰れないので逃がしたのは少し残念でした。^_^
カヤックを漕ぐのがはじめてなので最初はコンビーならず川の中でぐるぐる回りましたが。ガイドのAOIさんの指導があって段々なれるようになりました。ヤエヤマヒルギにいろんな植物があり100種以上と聞きました。そこの水は川と海水を混じった物で塩分が高いため、通常の植物に毒になり生存することができないが。そこの植物がその毒を特定の葉に集めて落すことで何百年も行き続けたのをはじめて聞きました。そこに生息する色んな動物を見つかりました。帰りには周囲の植物を見たり、鳥の声を聞いたりしながら川の中に進んでいく周りの風景を見るのが最高です。
　

The glass-bottom boat at Kawahira Bay, which I was looking forward to the most, was canceled due to the impact of Typhoon No. 4, so I couldn't ride it. However, the guide provided easy-to-understand explanations, and the meeting time was reasonable, so overall, it was enjoyable. The guide also sang folk songs using a sanshin, and they were a great singer. I'm glad I participated.

1番楽しみにしていた川平湾のグラスボートは台風4号の影響で船が欠航してしまい、乗れなかったのですが、ガイドさんが分かり易い説明をしてくれて、集合時間も無理のない時間だったので総合的には楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが三線を使って民謡などを歌ってくださり、歌が上手でした。
参加してよかったと思いました。

You can visit the tourist spots in Ishigaki Island in a short time, and the guide provides explanations. The lunch was also delicious, featuring many local ingredients from Ishigaki Island.

短時間で石垣島の観光スポットを回れ、ガイドさんが説明してくれます。ランチも石垣島素材が沢山あって美味しかった。

I was able to experience both the SUP tour and the snorkeling tour in one day! They pick you up by car, so it was fun to hear stories about Ishigaki Island during the ride. Even if you're a beginner, they teach you how to ride and paddle on the SUP. During snorkeling, they told us the names of the fish, and it was really enjoyable in the beautiful sea. Thank you very much!

1日で、supツアーとシュノーケルツアーを体験できました！
車で迎えにきてくれるので、車中での石垣島の話も楽しかったです
初めてでも、supの乗り方とこぎかたも教えてくれます
シュノーケル中はお魚の名前を教えてくれたり、きれいな海ですごく楽しかったです
ありがとうございました

I signed up for a half-day course that included SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but I was informed the day before that it was canceled due to not reaching the required number of participants. Since I had other plans in the afternoon, I reluctantly changed to the half-day SUP course. It was disappointing not to go to the Blue Cave, but I was surprisingly able to stand up easily and had a lot of fun. During the shuttle, they also recommended some great restaurants, and all the places were delicious, making for a wonderful trip.

SUPと青の洞窟シュノーケルが半日にできるコースを申し込んだのですが、前日に人数に達してないため、開催されないと連絡が…。
午後から別の予定が決まっていたので、仕方なく半日のSUPコースに変更しました。
青の洞窟に行けなかったのは残念でしたが、意外に簡単に立つこともできて、とても楽しかったです。
送迎の時にオススメのご飯屋さんなども教えていただき、どのお店もとても美味しくいい旅行になりました。

I participated in the rising canoe and Blue Cave snorkeling tour from the morning. The mangrove canoe experience was honestly mediocre. We were asked to help load the canoes onto a truck and transport them to the river, which felt off since we were paying for the tour. I think the operators need to make some improvements. The person in charge was doing their best and was likable, but the course to see the mangroves was short and lacked any explanations, leaving me completely unsatisfied. Additionally, although it was a sunrise tour, there were hotels built in the spot where the sun rises, so we couldn't see it.

Overall, I cannot recommend the mangrove canoe tour.

Now for my thoughts on the Blue Cave snorkeling tour. The weather was great, making it an amazing experience. On the day of the tour, the water was very clear, and I could see quite deep. I encountered a clownfish and even two sea turtles! I was able to see many beautiful fish as well. I've done snorkeling and diving in various places, but this level of snorkeling is incredible! The guide, Ryotaro, was very pleasant and entertaining. He engaged with all the participants in the car, sharing recommendations for restaurants and interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, which left a good impression. I absolutely recommend this tour! It can be affected by the weather, but if it's sunny, it's the best!

朝からのライジングカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
マングローブカヌーは、正直微妙でした。
川にエントリーするためのカヌーを参加者男性でトラックに乗せて、降ろして川まで運ぶ作業を手伝わされます。
お金を払ってツアー参加してるのに、、
なんだかな、、という感じでした。
運営側の工夫が必要だと思いました。
担当の方は頑張っていて好感を持てました。ただ、マングローブを見るコースは短く解説なども無いため全く物足りないです。またサンライズツアーですが、日が昇る場所にホテルが建っていて上がるところは見られません。
総合的にマングローブカヌーツアーは、私はおススメ出来ません。

ここから青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーの感想です。
天気にも恵まれ最高の体験となりました。
当日は、海の透明度も高くかなり深くまで目視できました。
隠れクマノミにも海亀にも遭遇できました。しかも、海亀は2匹！！
その他にも沢山のお魚が綺麗に見る事ができました。
色々な場所でシュノーケルやダイビングをしてきましたが、シュノーケルでこのレベルは凄いです！
ガイドのリョウタロウさんも大変感じ良く楽しませてくれました。
車中でも参加者皆んなに話しかけ、オススメのお店の紹介や石垣島豆知識を話してくれるなど、楽しませようとする姿勢が好印象でした。
こちらのツアーは、絶対オススメです！
天候にも左右されますが晴れたら最高です。

I had a 4-night, 5-day itinerary in Ishigaki Island, so I was able to make good use of my accommodations and transportation to the airport, as well as explore the island and nearby islands each time.

石垣島に4泊5日の旅程でしたので、宿や空港までの移動手段に加えて島内や離島散策とその都度、有効活用できました。

Mangrove tour was nice but I found it a bit short and it would have been nice to have some comments on the environment.
Phanthom island tour was really cool though. Some comments about sea life, good communication, beautiful places. Could also have snorkelled a bit longer. 😉
Nice tour after all with nice people.

Due to changes in the weather, I had to join this tour in the afternoon on short notice. The instructors were polite and kind, and I was really surprised to see over 20 participants from both the East and West. Instructor Ryu explained the tour details in both Japanese and English, and by the time we arrived at Kabira Bay, the atmosphere in the vehicle was really nice.

Once we arrived, we joined another group of instructors and split into smaller groups to go paddleboarding. Although the wind was strong, the weather was great, and the water was crystal clear—it was amazing!

Paddleboarding requires more arm strength than it looks, so I want to train more and participate again. I'm grateful to have joined a tour that will be a memorable page in my life. Thank you very much.

天候の変化により、急遽、午後にこちらのツアー参加となりました。
インストラクターの方々は丁寧で優しく、ツアー参加の方々も洋の東西を超えて20名超の参加ですごくびっくりしました。インストラクターのRyuさんは、日本語と英語でツアー内容など説明してくださり、川平湾につく頃には車内は本当にいいムードでした。
現地では別のインストラクターの方々と合流し、グループに分かれてSUPに乗りました。風が強かったけれど、お天気もよくて水も透き通っており、最高でした～！！
SUPは見た目以上に腕力も必要ですので、もっと鍛えてまた参加したいと思います。
人生の1ページに刻むツアーに参加できて感謝です。ありがとうございました。

On this tour, I went snorkeling at the Blue Cave in the morning and experienced stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay in the afternoon. The staff contacted me via email before the trip to provide details about the itinerary, what to bring, and important notes.

During the morning snorkeling at the Blue Cave, I was assigned to a group of foreigners. To make it easier for me to understand (since I am more accustomed to Japanese), the staff member Mr. Kameyama kindly offered to explain in both English and Japanese, which I really appreciated.

It was my second time snorkeling, but I was still nervous and not very good at swimming. Mr. Kameyama stayed with me using a float ring, which made me feel really safe. He also captured wonderful moments with a camera, and my friend and I had a fantastic time!

The stand-up paddleboarding experience at Kabira Bay was my first. Our guide, Mr. Hiroki, provided the lecture, while Ms. Suzuka acted as the interpreter. Both of them were very enthusiastic and friendly, and I was able to learn how to paddleboard quickly. The round trip was more tiring than I expected, and when my friend got exhausted on the way back, Mr. Hiroki paddled in his place. I was truly grateful for that help!

今回のツアーは午前中に青の洞窟でシュノーケリング、午後に川平湾でサップを体験しました。
スタッフの方は前日までにメールで連絡をくれ、旅程の詳細、持参品や注意事項などを教えてくれました。
午前中の青の洞窟シュノーケリングでは、私は外国人グループに振り分けられました。より理解しやすいように（私は日本語の方が慣れているので）、スタッフの亀山さんが、英語に加えて日本語でも説明をすると言ってくれ、本当にありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは2回目でしたが、やはり緊張しましたし、泳ぎも得意ではありません。亀山さんがフロートリングを使ってずっと付き添ってくれ、本当に安心できました。カメラで素敵な瞬間も撮ってくださり、友人と私はすっかり夢中になって楽しみました！
午後の川平湾サップ体験は初めてでした。ガイドのHIROKIさんがレクチャーを、SUZUKAさんが通訳を担当してくださいました。お二人はとても熱心でフレンドリーで、すぐにサップを覚えることができました。往復は思っていた以上に疲れ、帰り道で友人が漕ぎ疲れてしまった時には、HIROKIさんが代わりに漕いでくれました。本当に助かりました、感謝しています！

This was my first time in Okinawa.
I was able to experience the natural beauty of Ishigaki Island.
I think it's quite difficult to do these activities on your own, so it was really great to participate.
The snorkeling was amazing; the water was crystal clear and very beautiful.
I was able to swim with the fish, which was a very precious experience.
The canoeing experience was also wonderful, as it's not something you can do often.

However, on the way to the canoeing experience, I had to wait about 20 minutes to meet up with others who were in a different building at the hotel.
By the time we got to the river, the sunset had already dropped behind the mangroves, which was disappointing.
I was unlucky, but it might be better to visit during a time when the sunset lasts longer.

初の沖縄です。
石垣島の自然体験ができました。
アクティビティに参加しないと中々個人では出来ないと思うのでとても良かったです。
シュノーケリングは海が透き通っていてとても綺麗です。
魚と一緒に泳ぐ事ができ、とても貴重な体験になりました。
カヌー体験は川をカヌーを漕いで進むのは中々できないのでとても良かったです。

ただ、カヌー体験に向かう際乗り合わせの人がホテルの違う棟にいて合流するまで20分程待ちました。
川に出た時には夕陽がマングローブの向こう側に落ちてしまってたので残念でした。
運が悪かったですが日の入りが長い時期の方がいいかもしれないです。

I was satisfied with the convenience of the tickets, but some drivers reacted with "What's this?" when I first showed them the smartphone screen. It seems fine if you exchange it for a paper ticket.

This time, I took the bus to the Yonago Pottery Workshop, but when I found out that I had to wait about three hours for the return bus, I ended up having to take a taxi. What was supposed to be a budget-friendly trip turned into an expensive outing.

チケットの利便性には満足ですが、ドライバーさんによってははじめにスマホ画面を見せると「何コレ？」という反応をされます。
紙のチケットに引き換えてしまえば大丈夫そうです。

今回は米子焼工房に行くためにバスに乗ったのですが、帰りの便が3時間ほど待つと知り、結局タクシーを使う羽目になりました。
お得に周遊できるはずがイタイ出費でした。

I have been to Ishigaki Island several times, but it was my first time visiting the Blue Cave!

After passing through a jungle surrounded by trees, a space like a private beach opened up, and we entered the sea from there.

We went out to the open sea through a trench, which was also quite interesting. I even got to see clownfish! 🐟

Just floating around is fun, so I recommend it even for beginners!

石垣島には何度か来たことがありましたが、青の洞窟は初めてでした！

木々に囲まれたジャングルを抜けるとプライベートビーチのような空間が広がっており、そこから海に入りました。

海溝を抜けて沖に出るんですが、その海溝がまた面白かったです。
クマノミにも会えました🐟

ただぼーーっと浮かんでいるだけでも楽しいので、初心者の方でもおすすめです！

As a complete beginner, I had so many questions, but I was taught in a detailed and careful manner! Additionally, the staff made an effort to keep things fun! In the end, I was able to paddle while standing, and I was very satisfied! I highly recommend it, so please give it a try!

本当に初心者で、分からないことだらけでしたが細かく丁寧に教えてもらえました！
また、なるべく楽しくなるように担当スタッフが盛り上げてくれました！
最後は立って漕ぐことができ、とても満足です！
おすすめなのでぜひ参加してみてください！

It was a wonderful experience to be able to go stand-up paddleboarding at the most beautiful Kabira Bay in Ishigaki Island. The weather was nice, and there wasn't much wind, making it a great memory.

石垣島で一番綺麗な川平湾でサップができたこととても良い体験になりました。天気が良くて風もあまりないとても良い思い出です

The weather that day was very nice, and the water was incredibly clear! It seems that the scenery has even earned a Michelin three-star rating, and that really came across! The guide was also very friendly, and it was a lot of fun!!

その日はとても天気が良くて水がとても綺麗でした！それが景色のミシュラン三ツ星を獲得しているらしくその事もすごく伝わりました！ガイドさんもとても気さくなかたで楽しかったです！！

I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay for the first time. It's been selected as one of Japan's 100 scenic views, and it was very beautiful with the ocean looking so clear.

初めての川平湾sup楽しかったです。
日本100景にも選ばれてるとあってとてもきれいで海が透き通ってみえました。

It was my first snorkeling experience, and the safety measures were excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable, which made me feel secure participating in the tour! The fish and scenery were all amazing, and I would love to join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

初シュノーケリングでしたが、安全対策もバッチリでガイドさんの知識も豊富で安心してツアーに参加することができました！
魚、景色全てが最高でまた石垣島に来た時には参加したいと思います！！

I purchased a one-day free pass.
I have visited Ishigaki Island many times, but this is the first time I bought it.
As a result, it was definitely the right decision.
If you plan well and use it effectively, you can save a few thousand yen.
However, when I presented the voucher to receive the free pass on my first ride, it seemed that the driver was confused and didn't understand the process.

1日フリーパス券を購入しました
何回も石垣島には訪問していますが、今回購入したのが初めてです
結果、購入して大正解でした
計画を立てて、上手く使えば数千円程度節約できます
ただ、初回乗車時にバウチャーを提示してフリーパス券を貰うのですが、その流れがドライバーさんには分からなかったみたいで、戸惑っていました

I had been wanting to try sunrise SUP, so I made a reservation with great enthusiasm. I was surprised by the 4:30 AM meeting time, but paddling in the quiet mangroves early in the morning felt wonderful. I could clearly hear the chirping of birds and the calls of peacocks, and time flowed leisurely. The conversations with the guide were enjoyable, and we talked about various topics! Due to the environment and climate, we couldn't see the sunrise itself, but the morning glow was very beautiful! The snorkeling was also fantastic, with great weather and clear waters. Here too, the guide provided explanations about the caves and introduced us to the fish in the sea, which was very educational! I had a great time! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!

サンライズSUPはやってみたかったので気合いを入れて予約しました。
朝4:30頃の集合でびっくりしましたが、朝一の静かーなマングローブでのSUPは気持ちが良かったです。鳥のさえずりやクジャクの鳴き声もクリアに聞こえ、ゆったり時間が流れました。ガイドさんとの会話も楽しく、色々とお話しさせていただきました！環境や気候的に朝日自体は見れませんでしたが、朝焼けがとても綺麗でした！シュノーケリングも本当に天気が良く、海が綺麗でした。ここでもガイドさんから洞窟の中の説明や海の魚の紹介などいただき、勉強になりました！
とっても楽しかったです！良い思い出をありがとうございました！！

I received a confirmation call the day before participating, where they kindly provided information about the hotel pick-up time and what to bring. On the morning of the event, a car came to pick me up from the hotel, and we chatted while moving to the experience location. It was easy to talk, and the transfer was enjoyable!

I had done SUP once before, but it had been a while, so I was a bit worried. Before starting the SUP at Kabira Bay, there was a lecture on how to paddle and stand, and during the experience, they provided a lot of encouragement, which made it easy to enjoy!

After the SUP experience, we moved to the terminal. During the transfer, they introduced several recommended shops, which was helpful for my travel plans. ✨

For snorkeling, we went to the Blue Cave and snorkeled in the nearby sea. Before starting, they carefully taught us how to put on the goggles. It was incredibly beautiful, and there were various kinds of fish, which was fun!

However, the people snorkeling with us were foreigners who didn't listen much and were quite free-spirited, which seemed to make things difficult for the staff, and it left me feeling a bit disappointed.

During both experiences, they took many photos and sent them to us, which became great memories. 😊 Although I felt a bit disappointed due to the company I was with, overall, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad I participated.

参加する前日に確認の電話があり、ホテル送迎の時間や持ち物など丁寧にご案内していただきました。
当日の朝ホテルに車で迎えに来て頂いてお話しながら体験場所まで移動しました。話やすくて移動も楽しかったです！
SUP自体は１回した事ありますが、久しぶりで少し心配していました。
川平湾SUP始める前に漕ぎ方、立ち方などレクチャーがあり、体験中も声を沢山かけて頂き安心して楽しく体験できました！
SUP体験後はターミナルへ移動。移動時間はおすすめのお店を何件か紹介して頂き、旅行プランの参考になりました✨
シュノーケルは青の洞窟行ってその近くの海でシュノーケルでした。
シュノーケル始める前にゴーグル付け方など丁寧に教えてくださいました。
すごく綺麗で色んな種類の魚がいて楽しかったです！
ただ一緒にシュノーケルする方が外国人の方で話聞かなかったり自由な方々でスタッフさん大変そうでしたし、こちらも少し残念な気持ちになりました。

どちらの体験の時にたくさん写真撮っていただき送ってくださいました😊良い思い出になりました✨
一緒に回る方によって少し残念な思いをしましたがそれ以外はとっても楽しく参加して良かったと思える良いツアーでした。

The weather was favorable, and the view from Tamatori-zaki Observatory was great. There were many sightseeing opportunities from the car window, but since it was almost full, there were some seats where the view wasn't very good.

天気にも恵まれ，玉取崎展望台からの眺めはよかったです。
車窓からの見学が多いですが，ほぼ満席であったため，席によってはあまり見えないこともあります。

I participated with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old. I tend to get motion sickness, but the ride was smooth enough that I enjoyed it without feeling sick. The kids were super excited to see Nemo and the turtles! However, my husband, who was sitting across from us, said he didn't get to see as many turtles as we did. Since we were the last to board, we might have had the chance to see the turtles at the same level as the captain, who pointed them out. It's not something that can be easily controlled, but sitting next to the captain is recommended! Also, I reserved the 10:20 AM tour, but I was informed that the departure times can vary a bit. They said, "We can guide you at 10:05 AM. The next one is at 10:25 AM," so I changed to the earlier time. If you arrive early, I recommend checking in right away to avoid wasting time.

5歳、3歳の子連れで参加しました。私は乗り物酔いする方ですが揺れが少なく酔わずに楽しめました。ニモやカメが見られて子供達は大興奮！ただ向かいに座っていた夫は私達ほどはカメを見られなかったそう。私達は最後に乗ったので、船長さんの隣で船長さんが見つけたカメを同じ目線で見られたのかもしれません。なかなかコントロールできることではありませんが、船長さんの隣、おすすめです！また、10時20分の回を予約したのですが出発時刻は多少変動するそうで「10時5分にご案内できます。次は10時25分です」とのことだったので早い時間に変えてもらいました。早く着いたら時間潰しせずに、とりあえず受付されることをおすすめします。

It was absolutely amazing! On the day of our return, we were able to efficiently sightsee until our flight departure, enjoying wonderful views. I highly recommend it! The guide was also fantastic, and we got to listen to folk songs—everything was perfect!

いやぁ　最高でした
帰りの日、飛行機🛫出発前まで効率よく観光できて、素晴らしい景色も堪能でき、ほんとお勧めです!
ガイドさんも素晴らしく、民謡も聴けて、申し分無しでーす‼︎

I participated in snorkeling near the phantom island (Hamajima) and was very satisfied with the high clarity of the water! It was nostalgic to see staff members who had helped me during another activity last year. I would love to participate again.

幻の島（浜島）と近くでのシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、海の透明度が高く大変満足でした！
スタッフさんも昨年別のアクティビティでお世話になった方がいらっしゃったので懐かしかったです。
また参加したいです。

The tour combines separate snorkeling and mangrove canoe tours, so the guides were different for the first and second halves.

If you participate in the 9 AM session, it ends at 4 PM, so it might be a good idea to join the night jungle stargazing tour starting at 7:30 PM as well. Since the guides change each time, you might find a favorite guide.

During the snorkeling tour, we walked through the forest for a few minutes to reach the beach. After a brief explanation of how to use the snorkel and fins, we went snorkeling. Although the chances of encountering sea turtles or sea snakes seemed low, we were able to see corals and colorful fish, making it a great experience. Even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it with the help of floats and the guide.

For the mangrove tour, we chose to go by canoe. It seemed that people on stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were also participating in the tour alongside us. After a brief lesson on how to paddle at the riverbank, we boarded the boat and started the tour.

シュノーケリングツアーとマングローブカヌーツアーの別々のツアーを1つのセットにしているツアーのため前半と後半で担当のガイドさんが異なりました。

9時開始の回に参加すると16時に終わるため19時半からのナイトジャングル星空ツアーも一緒に行うのも良いかと思います。
毎回担当が異なるので推しのガイドさんも見つかるかもしれません。

シュノーケリングツアーでは、徒歩数分の森を抜けて浜辺へ向かいました。
シュノーケルやフィンの使い方について簡単に説明があった後にシュノーケリングを行いました。
ウミガメやウミヘビに遭遇する確率は低いようで今回のツアーで見ることはできませんでしたがサンゴや色とりどりの魚は見ることができて良い体験になりました。
泳ぎの苦手な人でも浮きとガイドさんのアシストがあるので楽しめると思います。

マングローブツアーではカヌーを選択しました。supの人も同時にツアーを行うようで自分たちの他にはsupの方もいました。
川岸でオールの漕ぎ方について簡単な講習を受けたあとに船に乗り込みツアー開始でした。

I was nervous on my first stand-up paddleboarding experience, but I was taught patiently and enjoyed it until the end. After the experience, I ate at the burger place that was recommended, and it was very delicious. Overall, I had a great day.

初めてのsupで緊張しましたが、丁寧に教えていただき、最後まで楽しめました。
体験後にお勧めしていただいたハンバーガー屋さんでご飯を食べましたが、非常に美味しく、総じて良い1日を過ごすことができました。

Canoeing across the Miyara River surrounded by magnificent mangroves was amazing! It was an activity that allowed me to feel the grandeur of nature. The snorkeling in the afternoon was also fantastic, with dives into the Blue Cave, swimming among clear coral reefs, and lots of fish. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I'll save that for another time!

壮大なマングローブに囲まれた宮良川をカヌーで渡るのは最高でした！
自然の雄大さを感じることができるアクティビティでした。
午後からのシュノーケリングも青の洞窟へのダイブや、透き通った珊瑚礁、たくさんの魚と一緒に泳ぐのが最高でした。
ウミガメに会いたかったですが、またの楽しみにとっておきます！
