All Reviews for Water Sports

I found this activity while planning to enjoy the sea in Ishigaki Island. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but I had no problems and had a great time. The snorkeling was also amazing, with the sea being incredibly clear and lots of fish swimming around, making it a valuable experience. Although it rained partway through, I was glad to spend the day enjoying the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island. The guides were also great, sharing recommendations for restaurants during our travels. Since we got caught in the rain, I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

石垣島で海を満喫しようと思いこのアクティビティを見つけました。
ＳＵＰは始めてでしたが、問題なく楽しめました。シュノーケリングも海がすごいきれいで、魚もたくさん泳いでおり貴重な体験でした。
途中雨が降ってしまいましたが、石垣島の綺麗な海を1日満喫でき、参加して良かったと思います。
またガイドの皆さん、移動中にはお勧めの飲食店を教えてもらえて良かったです。
途中雨に降られてしまったので、機会があればまた利用したいと思います。

During my first visit to Ishigaki Island, I was looking for activities and found this tour by VELTORA, which offered snorkeling and SUP in one day, so I made a reservation. Since it was my first time using a tour service, I was a bit anxious about whether I would be satisfied, but the guide was really great at getting everyone excited, and the tour itself was very fulfilling. I participated with my boyfriend, and we were able to take some nice photos together. Most importantly, we were taken to places we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own. The guide frequently checked to make sure we were feeling okay, and I learned that even those who aren't good swimmers can receive assistance, so I felt confident about participating. The next time I come to Ishigaki, I would like to join this island-hopping tour.

今回初の石垣島でアクティビティを探していた所、こちらのVELTORAさんのツアーを見つけ1日でシュノーケルとSUPを体験できるということでご予約させて頂きました。
ツアー利用が初めてだったので満足できるか不安だったのですが、ガイドさんもすごく盛り上げ上手ですし、もちろんツアー自体もすごく納得いくものでした。彼氏との参加でしたが写真もいい感じで撮って頂けましたし、なにより自分たちでは行けないような場所まで連れて行って頂けました。小まめに体調が悪くないか確認して貰えましたし、泳ぎが苦手な方でも補助してもらえるらしいので問題なく参加できるなと思いました。
次石垣に来た際は、こちらの離島ツアーに参加したいと思います。

I was looking for activities in Ishigaki Island and participated in this plan. The guides were polite and had great personalities, providing not only information about recommended tourist spots and restaurants during the transfers but also sharing various charms of Ishigaki Island. Additionally, they prepared photos from various scenes, which makes for great conversation topics after the trip. I think this company is especially recommended for those who have never visited Ishigaki Island. I would like to participate in a different plan if I have the opportunity again.

石垣島のアクティビティを探していてこのプランで参加させて頂きました。
ガイドの皆さん丁寧で人柄も良く、移動中にはお勧めの観光地や飲食店の情報提供だけでなく、様々な石垣島の魅力を教えて頂きました。
また、様々なシーンの写真をご用意頂けるので、旅行後の話題に花が咲きます。
石垣島に訪れた事が無い方には、特にオススメの会社だと思いました。
また機会があったら違うプランでの参加をしてみたいと思います。

On the day of the activity, the weather was unstable, alternating between sunny and cloudy, but the beauty of the ocean and the fun of stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) made for a very enjoyable time! The guide was very friendly and approachable, and whenever I had questions, they answered right away! As a beginner in SUP, I was able to stand up and paddle without falling! Participating in the morning felt refreshing, and I think I might get hooked on it (laughs). Time flew by, and I felt like, "Oh, it's already over," and I wanted to do more! It was such a fulfilling experience, so I highly recommend it!

当日、お天気は不安定で晴れたり曇ったりでしたが、それを超える海の綺麗さやSUPの面白さがあり、とても楽しい時間となりました！
ガイドの方もとても気さくで話しかけやすく、分からないことを聞くと、すぐ答えて下さいました！
SUP初心者での参加でしたが、落ちることもなくしっかり立って漕ぐところまでできました！
午前の参加でしたが、朝からSUPをするのは気持ち良いなあと感じました。ハマりそうです（笑）
あっという間に時間が経ってしまい、「あっ、もう終わっちゃった」という感じがして、もっとやりたかったです！それくらい充実した時間になるので、おすすめです！

I went stand-up paddleboarding after snorkeling! I felt a bit unwell during snorkeling, but after taking a good break, I really enjoyed the paddleboarding!! It's a one-day schedule, but I think even those who aren't confident in their physical strength can do it. One thing I appreciated was that after returning the wet shoes I wore for snorkeling, they provided me with a new pair of dry shoes for paddleboarding. It was a small gesture, but it made me very happy! I would like to use this service again!

シュノーケリングからのサップをしました！
シュノーケリングで気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、充分に休憩をとってからサップだったので、サップはかなり楽しめました！！
１日スケジュールですが、体力に自信のない人でも出来ると思います^ ^
いいなと思った点は、シュノーケリングで履いた濡れた靴を一旦お返しするのですが、サップの時はまた乾いた新しい靴を貸してくださり、小さな気遣いながらとても嬉しかったです！
また利用したいです^ ^

We participated as a family of five. We were very satisfied with the activity itself. There were two tour guides, one was a veteran and the other still felt like a novice. Both were really kind. However, it was disappointing that the photos taken by the novice were not great. The camera settings seemed off, as the sand on the beach looked red and desert-like, and our faces appeared flushed. The photos taken by the veteran guide were beautiful, so it was a letdown. Of course, since the photos were taken as a complimentary service, I can't complain, but I regret not taking any photos myself, assuming I would have them taken. I recommend that participants take their own photos as well. Again, I highly recommend the activity!

家族５名で参加しました。アクティビティ自体はとても満足しました。ツアーガイドさんは２名付いて頂き、１名はベテラン、もう１名は未だ新米という感じ。２人とも本当に親切でした。ただ、残念だったのは新米の方に取って頂いた写真。カメラの設定が悪いのか、陸では砂浜が赤く砂漠のようで顔も赤ら顔。水中では海底が緑に。。。もう一人のベテランの方に取って頂いた方の写真はきれいだっただけに残念。もちろんサービスで取って頂いているわけですので、文句は言えないのですが、取ってもらう前提で自分自身では全く写真を撮っていなかったのを後悔。参加する方は自分でも写真撮っておく事をお勧めします。繰り返しますがアクティビティはお勧めです！

We participated with two adults and three children. The youngest child was in fifth grade, but they were kind to the kids, and the children were happy. The SUP was easy on the way out with a tailwind, but on the way back, the headwind made it difficult for the kids to move forward, so all three children were pulled back by the tour guide.

Since the SUP was an introductory experience, it was good for our inexperienced children, but it might be lacking for those with experience. It honestly ended up being about an hour, so we wished we could have played a bit more.

The snorkeling was quite substantial, and we were satisfied with it. Since it was a double-header of SUP and snorkeling, those without stamina might get exhausted.

大人２人、子供３人で参加しました。一番下の子は小学５年生でしたが、子供にも親切に対応してくれて、子供も喜んでいました。SUPは行は追い風で簡単だったのですが、帰りは向かい風の影響で子供は力不足で前に進まず、子供３人ともツアーガイドさんに引っ張って帰ってもらいました(^_^;。
SUPは入門編という事で、未経験のうちの子供には良かったのですが、経験者には物足りないかもしれません。実質１時間程度で終わってしまうので、もう少し色々遊びたかったというのが正直なところ。
シュノーケリングは本格的な内容で満足しました。SUP、シュノーケリングのダブルヘッダーなので、体力の無い人は疲れ果てるかも。

At first, I was picked up at the hotel, and after having enjoyable conversations in the car, we arrived at the sea!

I was able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) while receiving thorough instruction.
*Even beginners can enjoy it without worry!*

For lunch, the guide shared various recommendations, and we had kebabs and dessert, making for a great break!

During snorkeling, we were taken to many beautiful spots, and we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, making it the best underwater adventure!

The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful and left me in awe!

I highly recommend this tour!
The guide (instructor) was very friendly, and the instruction was thorough, ensuring that even beginners can definitely have fun!
I was also satisfied with the many photos taken!

Participating in this tour has strengthened my memories of Ishigaki Island even more!

I’m really glad I joined!

初めは、ホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、車中で楽しい会話をしながら、海へ到着！

SUPを始め、いろいろと丁寧に指導をしていただきながら、SUPを楽しむことができました！
※初心者でも心配なく、楽しむことができます！

そして、昼食はガイドさんにいろいろと教えてもらい、ケバブなどを食べ、デザートも食し、良い休憩時間を過ごすことができました！

シュノーケルの時間もいろいろな綺麗な場所に連れて行ってもらい、さらには運も良くウミガメを見つけることができ、最高の海の中の冒険でした！

青の洞窟は非常に綺麗で、感動しました！


このツアーは非常におすすめできます！
ガイド（インストラクター）の方も非常に気さくで、指導も丁寧で初心者であっても絶対に楽しめます！
写真もいっぱい撮っていただけて満足です！

このツアーに参加したからこそ、
石垣島への思い出がよりいっそう強まりました！

本当に参加をして良かったです！

I had the same guide with me all day, which made me feel safe while having fun. The snorkeling was included, and I was worried about my stamina, but the timing was just right.

I was able to spend valuable time.

一日中同じ方がついてくださり、安心して遊べました。
シュノーケルもついており、体力が心配でしたがちょうどいい時間でした。

貴重な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

Please tell me in detail about the creatures around the mangrove forest and the types of mangroves. The canoe experience allowed me to feel nature and progress at my own pace, providing a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Even as a first-timer, the instructions were clear and easy to understand. Social distancing was adequately maintained, so it was possible to participate without a mask. I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

マングローブ林周辺の生き物や、マングローブの種類等を詳しく教えていただけます。
カヌー体験は自然を感じながら、自分のペースで進んでいくことができ、普段では経験の出来ない体験でたくさん楽しむことができました。
初めての体験でも1から教えて頂けて分かりやすかったです。
マスクはソーシャルディスタンが十分に取られていたのでマスクは無しでも参加可能でした。
また機会があれば参加させて頂きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。

I experienced SUP for the first time, and since I received a briefing on how to ride beforehand, I was able to get on smoothly. During the experience, they frequently checked on my condition, and I appreciated their thoughtfulness in allowing breaks as needed. They also took a lot of photos, including some of me capsizing, which turned out to be really funny and made for great memories! I received recommendations for restaurants and other local information that only the locals would know, which was very helpful. Since the experience location is only by the sea, I recommend bringing drinks!

初めてSUPを体験しましたが、事前に乗り方のレクチャーを受けてからの体験だったため、スムーズに乗ることができました。
体験中も小まめに体調を確認してくださり、体調に合わせて休憩を挟んだり、お気遣いが有難かったです。
お写真もたくさん撮っていただき、中には転覆中の写真もあり、見返すととっても面白く良い思い出になりました！
お勧めの飲食店など現地の方しか知らないような情報もいただけてとても参考になりました♪
体験場所は海しかないので、飲み物を持っていくことをお勧めします！

I had an amazing time on my first SUP!
I adventured smoothly across the beautiful waters of Kabira Bay...
Everywhere I looked, there was stunning scenery in 360°.

I started by paddling while sitting along the rocky areas,
and as I got more comfortable, I tried standing up.
I fell in a few times, haha.

It was tough with the headwind,
but Shintaro's instructions were thorough and kind,
and I enjoyed it to my heart's content!

Please let me do it again next time I come!

初めてのSUPめちゃ楽しかったです！
川平湾の綺麗な海面をすいすいーっと冒険、、、。
360°どこを見ても美しい景観が広がっていました！

岩場沿いをまずは座って漕いで、
だんだん慣れてきたら立ち上がってみて。
ドボンと何度か落ちました笑

向かい風で大変でしたが、
しんたろうさんのレクチャーも丁寧で優しく、
心ゆくまで楽しめました！

次来たらまたリピートさせてください！

It was my first time on a stand-up paddleboard, but I was able to stand up right away and had a great time. The staff were fun and lively, making it a wonderful memory. We were able to do various activities, like riding together on a two-person board and lying down on the paddleboard in the shade of a tree, which was enjoyable. The staff also did handstands and yoga, and I would like to try that as well. They had measures in place for COVID-19, so I felt safe participating in the tour. Thank you for today!

初めてのサップでしたが、
すぐに立つことができ、楽むことができました。
スタッフさんも楽しく盛り上げてくださり、
いい思い出になりました。
2人乗りをしたり、木陰でサップの上で寝転んだり、様々なことができたので、楽しめました。
スタッフさんが三点倒立や、ヨガをされていて、
また挑戦してみたいと思いました。
コロナ対策もされていて、
安心してツアーに参加できました。
今日はありがとうございました。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island and my first canoe experience.
First, I received a lecture and was shown the points, and I was able to get on the canoe right away.
The weather was very nice, so I had a fun experience.
I enjoyed a leisurely time canoeing over the transparent beauty of Kabira Bay and the calm water surface.
On the way to the point, the instructor also shared information about tourist spots, and thanks to their advice, it became a fulfilling trip.
They also took photos for free, which became a great keepsake.
Thank you for the very attentive service.
I would like to participate again!

初めての石垣島で初めてのカヌー体験でした。
まずレクチャー・ポイントを教えて頂き、すぐに乗ることが出来ました。
天候がとてもよかったので、楽しく体験が出来ました。
川平湾の透き通る美しさと、穏やかな水面の上をカヌーでゆったりと過ごせました。
ポイント地までの道中もインストラクターの方が観光スポット等を教えて頂き、アドバイスのおかげで充実した旅行となりました。
写真も無料で撮ってくださり、いい記念になりました。
とても丁寧な対応ありがとうございました。
また参加したいと思います！

I was nervous about my first SUP experience, but the instruction was thorough, and I had a great time! It was amazing to do SUP in the beautiful scenery of Kabira Bay!!

During snorkeling at the Blue Cave, I was able to see many fish up close, which was a really valuable experience!

We took lots of Instagram-worthy photos, and it became a wonderful memory! Since they took so many pictures for us, I felt there was no need to bring my own camera.

Even during the travel time, they provided helpful information about hidden spots, which was great for sightseeing! Thank you to our guide, Ryo! I definitely want to do SUP and snorkeling again! When I go to Ishigaki, I will use ADVENTURE PiPi again!

初めてのSUP体験でドキドキでしたが丁寧に教えて頂きすごく楽しめました！
川平湾で最高の景色の中SUPを出来て最高でした！！

また青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングでは沢山の魚を間近で見ることもできてすごく貴重な体験ができました！

インスタ映えスポットや写真もたくさん撮っていただきとても良い思い出になりました！
写真は沢山撮ってもらえるので、自分でカメラは用意する必要はないと思いました。

移動時間でも穴場情報なども
教えて頂き観光するのに助かりました！
ガイドしてくれたリョウさん、ありがとうございました！
またぜひSUPとシュノーケリングやりたいです！
石垣行った際はまたADVENTURE PiPiさんを利用させてもらいますね！

The entire process from application to the end was handled very politely. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but thanks to the very clear instructions, I was able to stand and paddle freely, which felt refreshing. Additionally, the weather was great, and the color of the sea was beautiful, allowing me to see the distant mountains, making it a very memorable experience. Since the field was almost empty, I felt like I had the sea and mountains all to myself. During the tour, I also enjoyed many interesting stories on the way there and back. I highly recommend this tour.

申し込みから最後までとても丁寧に対応いただきました。SUPはほとんど初めての体験だったのですが、大変わかりやすい指導のおかけで自由に立ち乗りできるようになり、気分爽快でした。また、よく晴れていましたので、海の色が非常に綺麗で、遠くの山も見渡せてとても印象に残る体験でした。ほぼ人のいないフィールドだったせいもありますが、海と山を独り占めしているような感覚になりました。ツアーの行き帰りも楽しいお話をたくさん聞かせていただきました。このツアーはおすすめです。

It was an absolutely perfect location for snorkeling! We went to some deep areas, but the waves were calm, making it safe and enjoyable for beginners. We took lots of photos, creating wonderful memories. The guide was also a really nice person and made sure to keep an eye on us while guiding.

My wife and I went on the tour to the blue cave, and it was a really amazing experience! We started out by snorkeling to a beautiful reef area in front of the cave with deep, underwater caverns full of different types of fish and corals! At points we were completely surrounded by them - it felt like a movie!

After swimming around for a while, we went inside the cave itself. The crystal power spot in the back was awesome, and the rest of the cave had an amazing aura about it. It was so cool to emerge from the cave and see the beautiful blue water and scenery!

Thanks again for the great trip - I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about seeing the cave or just wanting to have an awesome snorkeling experience!

とにかくシュノーケリングに最高のロケーションでした!!深いところも行きますが波が穏やかで初心者でも安心して楽しめます。写真もたくさん撮ってくれていい思い出になりました。ガイドさんもとても良い人でちゃんと私達から目を話さずガイドしてくれました。My wife and I went on the tour to the blue cave, and it was a really amazing experience!

I had a meeting point with the rental car, and they arrived on time.

It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but I got used to it quickly and found it more stable than I expected, which made it enjoyable. The conditions were perfect today, with no wind and calm waters. I paddled a bit on the way back, but I didn't fall into the sea.

The guides, Makocchan from Osaka and Nakachan from Saga, were very friendly, and it was a lot of fun talking with them throughout the experience.

I highly recommend this breathtaking activity in Ishigaki!

レンタカーで現地待ち合わせでしたが、時間通りに迎えにきてもらいました。

SUP初めてでしたが、すぐに慣れて思ったより安定していて楽しめました。
今日は風もなくて穏やかでベストなコンディションとのこと。
帰りは少し漕ぎましたが、海に落ちることはなかったです。

大阪出身のまこっちゃんと佐賀出身のなかちゃんのお二人のガイド、
とても気さくで終始お話がとても楽しかったです。

石垣の絶景アクティビティ、おすすめです！

It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and after receiving a lecture and some pointers, I was able to get on the board right away. We progressed along a route that took into account the waves and wind, and we took two breaks on the beach in the bay, where we learned about the bay and its wildlife.

During the second break, there were hammocks set up on the beach, which made for a very Instagram-worthy spot. They also took photos for us for free and sent only the pictures with us in them, which was very thoughtful. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again!

人生初めてのSUPでしたが、初めにレクチャー・ポイントを教えて頂き、すぐに乗ることが出来ました。
波や風を考えたルートで進んでいき、休憩は湾の浜辺で2回取って、湾や生物の説明をしてくださったり、勉強にもなりました。
2回目の休憩には浜辺にハンモックが設置されており、とても写真映えするスポットでした。
写真も無料で撮ってくださり、自分達が映ってる写真のみを送ってくださり、とても丁寧な対応でした。
ありがとうございました。また参加したいと思います！

This time, I wanted to do SUP and snorkeling in Ishigaki Island, so I made a reservation here.

To sum it up, I am very satisfied!!

The guide was Ryusei.
In the car, even during the state of emergency, he provided detailed information about shops that were likely to be less crowded.

What I thought after experiencing the tour is that he taught us very carefully and praised us a lot!

He is a guide that both adults and children can enjoy, sharing detailed stories that even adults find interesting.

Also, he took multiple photos and videos, and the angles were fantastic, making them perfect for Instagram!

For important memories, I thought it would be nice to have someone friendly, and he was just that!!

I definitely want everyone to experience this!

今回は石垣島でsupとシュノーケルがやりたくてこちらを予約させていただきました。

結論から言うと大満足です！！

ガイドさんは【りゅうせい】さんでした。
車内では、緊急事態宣言中にも関わらず、空いているであろうお店を細かく教えてくださいます。

ツアーを体験して思ったことは
とにかく丁寧に教えてくださり、よく誉めてくださいます！

大人も子供も楽しめるガイドさんで、大人も【へぇ～】となるような詳しい話をしてくれます。

あとは、写真や動画を複数とってくださるのですがアングルがぴかいちでインスタ映えしますよ～～

大切な思い出には、やっぱり愛想がよい方がいいな～と思っていたらドンピシャでした！！


是非皆さんに体験して欲しいです！

We had planned to do SUP at Kawarawan, but due to a forecast of strong winds, we changed locations and were taken to the mangroves. I was worried it might be canceled, so I was really glad they were able to hold it at a different spot!

The mangroves felt like a jungle, and it was fun to feel like an adventurer. Surprisingly, even without much core strength, I was able to stand up on the SUP quite easily, and the wind was pleasant, allowing me to fully enjoy the mangroves!

During the afternoon snorkeling, there were many corals and colorful fish in the shallow waters, making me feel like I was swimming in an aquarium, which really boosted my excitement. We also got to visit the Blue Cave, which was mystical and very impressive.

Additionally, thanks to our guide who explained various fish and plants, I was able to enjoy it even more, making it a very fulfilling day!

川原湾でのSUPの予定でしたが、風が強い予報のため場所を変更し、マングローブに連れて行ってもらいました。中止になるかもしれないと思っていたので、場所を変更して開催してもらえて、とても良かったです！
マングローブはジャングルのようなところで、冒険家？になった気分で楽しかったです。SUPは、体幹がない私でも意外とすんなり立つことができて、風も心地よく、マングローブを満喫できました！
午後のシュノーケルでは、浅瀬に珊瑚と、カラフルな魚がたくさんいて、水族館の中を泳いでるような気分でテンションが上がりました☆青の洞窟にも行くことができ、神秘的でとても印象的でした。
また、ガイドさんがお魚や植物など色んな説明をしてくれたおかげで、更に楽しむことができ、とても充実した1日なりました！

I participated in the Kayahira Bay SUP + Blue Cave Snorkeling tour (with hotel pickup and free photos).

Good points:
1. There were two guides, one male and one female, both of whom had excellent service spirits, making the tour very enjoyable. This is important, but I think it also depends on luck.
2. The service includes taking photos, so whether you're participating alone or in a group, you can get various scenes captured. It's great for Instagram.
3. The sea near the Blue Cave is the perfect spot for snorkeling.

Bad points:
1. There are no restrooms available.
2. Although it's a full-day tour, we were dropped off in the city for lunch in the morning, and then we had to regroup for the afternoon tour. The tour members also changed. It's unfortunate that meals are not included. Convenience store bento boxes came in handy.

川平湾SUP ＋青の洞窟シュノーケリング ＜ホテル送迎／写真無料＞に参加しました。
良かった点
①ガイドさんが男女2名おり、どちらもサービス精神に優れていたので、とても楽しいツアーになりました。ここは重要ですが運次第だと思う。
②写真を撮ってくれるサービスが付いているので一人参加からグループまで一緒に様々なシーンを撮って貰える。インスタアップにやくだつ。
③青の洞窟近くの海はシュノーケリングに最高な場所
悪かった点
①全てトイレがない。
②1日ツアーだが午前で一旦市街地に降ろされ、各自で昼食を取り、再度集合して午後ツアーに向かう。ツアーメンバーも入れ替わる。食事なしが残念。コンビニ弁当が活躍。

I made a last-minute reservation the day before, but they handled everything perfectly!!! I signed up for a tour of Kabira Bay, but due to strong winds on the day, it couldn't be conducted. However, as an alternative, they recommended a SUP tour at Miyara River, and I ended up using that tour instead. I really wanted to do SUP, so I appreciate them introducing a tour that could be done even in bad weather. At Miyara River, there are mangroves around, so the wind had little impact, and even beginners could enjoy it. The tour guide was friendly and took photos for us, and even shared recommendations for local shops! The content of the optional tour was great, but the guide's personality was also wonderful, so I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ishigaki Island. I would love to use their services again for a tour of Kabira Bay as a revenge tour when I come back to Ishigaki Island!!!

急遽、前日に予約しましたが、しっかり対応いただきました！！！川平湾のツアーを申し込みましたが、当日は風が強い為、催行できませんでした。でもその代替案として宮良川のsupをすすめていただき、そのままそちらのツアーを利用しました。どうしてもsupがしたかったので、こうやって悪天候でもできるツアーを紹介してくださり、感謝しております^^ 宮良川だと周りにマングローブがはえているので風の影響もほとんどなく、初心者でも楽しむことができました★★★ツアーガイドさんも気さくで写真を撮ってくださったり、おすすめのお店まで教えてくださりました！！オプショナルツアーの内容もですが、ツアーガイドさんのお人柄も良かったのでぜひ石垣島に来られた方にはオススメしたいです。また石垣島へ来たらリベンジで川平湾のツアーなどで利用したいと思いました！！！

I participated in a tour with RISE for the first time. They picked me up at the hotel, and we arrived at the port comfortably. The staff were friendly and took a lot of photos for us. I wanted to talk more with Chris... haha.

The flow of the tour seems to be flexible, depending on the day's conditions, with options for either going to the Phantom Island first or snorkeling. This time, snorkeling was first. The staff were considerate and checked in on me since snorkeling first made my hair messy... thank you very much.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, especially the water around Phantom Island, which was a clear, lovely shade of blue. I felt strongly that we need to protect the ocean and the coral! Next time, I want to go for marine activities. Thank you for a fun tour!

RISEさんのツアーに初めて参加しました。ホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、快適に港へ到着。スタッフの方々が気さくに対応してくださり、たくさん写真も撮っていただきました。クリスともっと話したかったです…笑
ツアーの流れは、その日の状況に応じてスタッフさんが柔軟に選択し、幻の島→シュノーケリング、シュノーケリング→幻の島どちらかになるようです。今回はシュノーケリングが先でした。スタッフさんは気を遣ってくださり、シュノーケリングが先になってしまい、髪が乱れてしまったことを気にかけてくれました…ありがとうございました。
海は抜群に綺麗で、特に幻の島は透き通った綺麗な水色でした。
また、海を守らなきゃ、珊瑚を守らなきゃと強く思いました！
今度はマリンアクティビティをやりに行きたいと思います。楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！

ライズツアーが連れて行ってくれたシュノーケリングスポットは、世界で2番目に珊瑚礁が多い場所らしいです！魚たちもカラフルで綺麗でした。ガイドさんたちもすごくいい人たちで、安全面に気を使っていて、のびのびとシュノーケリングできました。

今日は、妻と一緒にライズのスピードボートツアーで幻の島に行きましたが、正直言って、日本を旅行していて今までの中で最高の体験の一つでした！ガイドのクリスさんとカオリさんは素晴らしく、私たちのために旅行を素晴らしいものにするために尽力してくれました。

私たちは、人生で行った中で最高のシュノーケリングスポットの一つにボートで向かいました。石垣島の他のシュノーケリングスポットにも行ったことがありますが、ここはそれらを圧倒しました！珊瑚と魚たちは鮮やかで色とりどりで、本当に素晴らしかったです！考えるだけでまた行きたくなります。こんなに健康で美しい reef を間近で見ることができるのは、滅多にありません！

シュノーケリングが終わった後、私たちは幻の島に行きました。そこは、干潮時にだけ現れる小さな三日月型のビーチです。間違いなく、私が今まで見た中で最も美しいビーチでした（日本以外のビーチも含めて）。写真ではその美しさを伝えきれません - 実際に見なければなりません！さらに驚くべきことは、潮が上がるにつれてビーチが徐々に透明な水の中に消えていくのを実際に見ることができたことです。本当に素晴らしく、決して忘れられない体験です！

このツアーをするかどうか迷っているなら、絶対にやってください！100%の価値があります。このツアーがどれほど素晴らしかったか、何度も言いたいです。クリスさんとカオリさん、再度感謝します。あなたたちは素晴らしく、この旅行を忘れられないものにしてくれました！

ライズツアーさんが連れて行ってくれたシュノーケリングスポットは世界で２番目に珊瑚礁が多い場所らしいです!魚たちもカラフルで綺麗でした。ガイドさん達もすごくいい人たちで安全面に気を使っていてのびのびとシュノーケリングできました。

Today, my wife and I went on a Rise speed boat tour to Maboroshi Island, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had travelling around Japan! The guides Chris and Kaori were fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure the trip was great for us.

We started out by taking a boat to one of it not the best snorkelling spot I’ve ever been to in my life. We have been to other snorkelling spots in Ishigaki, but this place blew them out of the water! The corals and fish were vibrant and full of color - honestly, it was so awesome! Just thinking about it makes me want to go back. It’s not everyday you get to see such a healthy, beautiful reef up close!

After we finished snorkelling, we went to Maboroshi island, a small crescent shaped beach that only appears at low tide. It was without a doubt the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, (including beaches outside of Japan). Pictures really do not do it justice - you have to see it in person! What was even more incredible was that we could actually watch the beach slowly disappear into the crystal clear water as the tide went up. It was truly amazing, and is something I will never forget!

If you are debating whether or not to do this tour, DO IT! It is 100% worth it. I can’t stress enough how great this tour was. Thanks again to Chris and Kaori, you guys were amazing and made this trip unforgettable!

I was glad to be able to try SUP for the first time in Ishigaki Island. Despite the weather forecast predicting rain, it somehow turned cloudy, which was a relief. Since we were at the edge of Kabira Bay, the scenery was different from what I had seen in photos, but it was an ideal spot for SUP. The downside was that there were no restrooms, so we left the hotel and returned without any bathroom breaks. Overall, it was enjoyable because the guide was great, and I would like to use this service again. I think it would be best if the weather is nice next time. Also, there are no places to change or buy drinks, so I recommend preparing those in advance.

SUPが初体験だったので石垣島で出来てよかった。
天気が雨予想のなか、なんとか、曇りになり助かった。川平湾の端っこだったので写真で見た風景と違ったがSUPするには、最適な場所。難点はトイレなどが無く、ホテルから出発し、ホテルに戻るまでトイレなし。全体的には、ガイドさんが良かったので楽しかった。また、次も利用したい。次は天気ならベストだと思います。あとは、着替えるところや、飲み物を買う場所はないので、あらかじめ、用意しておくことをお勧めします。

We participated as a couple. My wife had experienced it once before, and it was my first time.
Our guide was Ryusei, a 26-year-old who loves traveling abroad.

Even if it's your first time with SUP, he teaches you carefully, so don't hesitate to give it a try! It's just right for burning calories while traveling.

The scenery was amazing, just like in the photos! There was no wind that day, and it was sunny, so the sea was clear and beautiful.
Also, talking with the guide was a lot of fun, and his advice for our afternoon sightseeing plan was excellent.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced, if you come to Ishigaki Island, you should definitely give it a try!

夫婦2名で参加しました。妻は一度経験有りで、自分は初体験です。
ガイドは、海外好きのリュウセイさん26歳。

SUP
が初めてでも、丁寧に教えてくれますので恐れずトライしてみましょう！旅行中のカロリー消費に丁度良いです。

景色は写真の通り、素晴らしい！この日は風も無くて、晴れてたので海も透き通って綺麗でした。
また、ガイドさんとのトークも大変楽しく、午後からの観光プランのアドバイスも素晴らしかったです。

SUP初心者も、経験者も、石垣島にきたらトライしましょっ！

I participated in this tour for the first time. The staff were friendly and kind, which helped create wonderful memories.

During the first half, we had unlimited fun with marine sports, and I found myself excited like never before. I tried wakeboarding, but it was a bit too challenging for us. Those who are good at snowboarding will likely pick it up quickly.

In the second half, while snorkeling, I felt completely immersed in nature as I floated in the sea, enjoying the spots where we could see coral and fish. At the final stop, the Phantom Island, the sun occasionally shone down, and the beautiful white sandy beach with the clear sea was stunning. I was lucky to encounter a sea turtle as well.

今回初めてこちらのツアーに参加しました。
スタッフの方々が気さくに親切に対応してくださり、とても良い思い出作りができました。

前半のマリンスポーツ遊び放題では思う存分振り回してもらい久々にはしゃいでしまいました。ウェイクボードに挑戦してみましたが、私達にはハードルが高かったです。スノボーが得意な方は直ぐに上達できると思います。

後半のシュノーケルでは珊瑚や魚が見えるスポットで海に身を任せて自然に溶け込んだ気分になりました。
最後の幻の島で時折日が差し、白い砂浜に透明な海がとても綺麗でした。
ウミガメにも遭遇してラッキーでした。

It was my first time on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and I was able to get on it more easily than I expected. The outbound trip was smooth with a tailwind, but I quickly struggled on the way back due to the headwind. Our guide, Nishihara, connected the four of us and led us, so we were able to reach our destination safely.

The afternoon at the Blue Cave was a bit disappointing due to the weather, but I was able to encounter many fish while snorkeling. The guide took a lot of great photos for us, which was wonderful.

By the way, there was a slight trouble that delayed our start time, but during that time, we were taken to a delicious juice shop.

初めてのSUPでしたが、思ったよりも簡単に乗ることが出来ました。行きは追い風でスムーズに進む事ができましたが、帰りが向かい風ですぐにダウン。ガイドの西原さんが4人を繋いで先導してくれたので、無事たどり着くことが出来ました。
午後の青の洞窟は、天候の関係でいまいちでしたが、シュノーケリングは沢山の魚たちに出会うことが出来ました。ガイドさんが写真も沢山撮ってくれて良かったです。
ちなみにちょっとしたトラブルで、スタート時間が遅れてしまいましたが、その時間で美味しいジュース店に連れて行ってもらえました。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I wanted to go snorkeling and see more of the beautiful ocean, which is why I made a reservation the day before. Even with the last-minute booking, they responded kindly, and although I was a bit late because I couldn't find the meeting place, we were able to start without any issues. First, we went to the Phantom Island, and I was amazed by how beautiful it was. The tour guides were very nice, taking lots of photos and chatting with us, which made it a lot of fun! They also taught us how to breathe while snorkeling in a detailed manner, and we had free time as well, so I was very satisfied. It was a tour worth more than the price. When I go to Ishigaki Island again, I would like to participate in a different plan.

初めての石垣島だったので、せっかくならシュノーケリングしたり綺麗な海をもっと見たいという事で前日に予約しました。急な予約でも丁寧に対応してくださり、待ち合わせ場所が分からず少し遅れてしまいましたが無事スタートできました。最初は幻の島に行きとても綺麗でびっくりしました。ツアーのお姉さんお兄さんもとても優しくて、たくさん写真を撮ってくれたりお話ししてくれたり楽しかったです！シュノーケリングも呼吸の仕方から丁寧に教えてくれて自由時間もありとても満足しています。お値段以上のツアーでした。また石垣島に行った際は違うプランで参加してみたいです。
