All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds, but we were able to see many stars that we usually can't see, and we received thorough explanations that everyone enjoyed. The meeting place was easy to find with a clear map, so we had no trouble getting there. Right after returning from Ishigaki Island, I downloaded a constellation app on my smartphone and climbed a nearby mountain to observe the stars we had learned about during the tour again. The height at which they were visible was different due to the change in latitude. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island, I will definitely sign up for the tour again.

当日は少し雲がありましたが、普段では見られないくらいの多くの星が見られしかも丁寧な解説を頂き皆楽しめました。集合場所もわかりやすい地図で迷うことなく行けました。石垣島から戻ってすぐにスマホの星座アプリを入れて実家近くの山に登り、ツアーで説明いただいた星を再度観察しました。緯度が違うので見える高さが違いましたが。次回、石垣島を訪れた際は必ず参加申し込みします。

The galaxy, owls, bats, and coconut crabs. Not only did I enjoy the beautiful night sky, but also the great outdoors. The guide was also incredibly entertaining.

銀河、フクロウ、コウモリ、ヤシガニ。美しい夜空だけではなく、大自然も満喫。ガイドさんも最高に面白かった。

I definitely wanted to see the starry sky when I came to Ishigaki Island, so I booked this tour. They picked me up from the hotel and we headed to the stargazing spot first. The guide, who was very knowledgeable about Ishigaki Island, took us to two locations. At first, there were a few clouds, but it gradually cleared up, and we could see a stunning starry sky and the Milky Way perfectly. The explanations about the constellations were also very enjoyable. After fully enjoying the starry sky by lying on our backs and taking photos, we headed into the jungle.

We were able to see rare turtles, precious hermit crabs, and really large bats, and the guide introduced us to many animals.

During the drive back, I was able to hear a lot about recommended places and Okinawa, making it a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much!!

石垣島に来たら絶対に星空を見たいと思い、このツアーを予約しました。
ホテルに迎えに来ていただき、最初は星空スポットへ。
石垣島にとても詳しいガイドさんが、二箇所案内してくれました。
最初雲が少しかかっていましたが、だんだん晴れてきて、満点の星空と天の川もバッチリ見えました。星座の解説などもしていただき、とても楽しかったです。
仰向けで星を見たり、写真撮影などをしていただき充分星空を満喫した後に、ジャングルへ。

珍しい亀や貴重なヤドカリ、すごく大きなコウモリなど見ることができ、たくさんの動物を紹介していただきました。

送迎の道中も、おすすめの場所や沖縄のことをたくさん聞けて、大満足のツアーでした。

ありがとうございました！！

I have participated in countless tours so far, but among similar tours, this one provided the highest level of satisfaction. You absolutely must join!

今まで数えきれないほどのツアーに参加してきましたが、似たようなツアーがある中、今回のツアーは最高レベルの満足感でした。絶対に参加すべし！

I rented a car, so I decided to meet at the location. Although I was given clear instructions on where to meet, the unfamiliar roads were dark and difficult to navigate, and I got a bit lost. Once I arrived, it was just a short walk to the star viewing area, and we each took a seat in our preferred spot where tea and telescopes were provided.

After that, we looked through the telescopes while listening to explanations about each star. This is the flow of the tour. The day I participated was clear, but there was a bit of moonlight and a lot of clouds, so it felt like we were seeing stars through gaps in the clouds, which wasn't ideal for stargazing. At that time of year, the Milky Way was barely visible, but I was glad to see the night sky for the first time and hear about the names and explanations of the stars. I haven't seen a tour that allows for cancellations based on the weather and moonlight, so I highly recommend this one.

レンタカーを借りていたので、現地集合にしました。
集合場所はきちんと教えていただいていたのですが、知らない道と道路が真っ暗で分かりにくく少し迷いました。到着すると星を見る場所までほんの少し歩き、各自好きな場所の椅子に座るとお茶と望遠鏡が配られます。
その後、一つ一つの星の説明を聞きながら望遠鏡で見ます。これがこのツアーの流れです。私が参加した日は晴れていましたが、少し月明かりがあり、雲が多くて雲の切れ目から星を見る感じだったので絶好の星空ではありませんでした。時期的に天の川が薄っすらギリギリ見える程度でしたが、初めて見る星空や星の名前や星の説明を聞けて良かったです。当日の天候や月明かりを調べてキャンセルもできるツアーは見たことないのでお勧めです。

It wasn't as immersive in nature as I expected from a night safari, but (well, the whole of Ishigaki is quite natural) I enjoyed the introduction of palm crabs, spiders, hermit crabs, and distinctive plants. The Ryukyu scops owl on the power lines was also a highlight.

As we were watching, the sky cleared up more and more, and the starry sky was incredibly clear, which was moving. The guides' love for Ishigaki and nature shone through, and even when things didn't go as planned, they surely found a way to keep the atmosphere lively.

ナイトサファリというほど大自然の中に突っ込むわけではなかったのが少し肩透かしだったけど、(まあ、石垣全体が自然多めなんだけど) ヤシガニ、クモ、オカヤドカリや特徴的な植物紹介も有り楽しめた。電線のリュウキュウコノハズクも。
鑑賞している間にどんどん晴れて来て星空がめちゃクリアだったのが感動的だった。ガイドさん達は石垣愛、自然愛がにじみ出ており、不発に終わった時も何とか盛り上げてくれるに違いない。

The weather in Ishigaki Island changes rapidly, so I made a reservation on the day of. Until just before, it was pouring rain, and I was half giving up while in the car heading to the meeting point. However, after that, the rain stopped, and I was able to see some stars being blown by the wind.

There were many stars visible to the naked eye, but the Milky Way was clearly visible through the binoculars we borrowed, and my whole family was moved by it. Although there were still some clouds left from the rain just before, we were captivated by the night sky while receiving explanations about the stars visible through the gaps! My second son, who is in the second grade, was excitedly searching for stars, even though the explanations about the night sky were a bit difficult for him.

The way the night sky looks differs due to latitude, and the explanations were easy to understand. Also, despite the rain just before, the chairs and the borrowed binoculars were not wet, making it a wonderful and memorable experience in Ishigaki Island.

石垣島の天気はコロコロ変わるので、当日に申し込みをしました。
直前まではどしゃ降りで、車で向かった集合場所の車内で半ば諦めていましたが、、その後、あのどしゃ降りの雨は何だったのか、、という位、雨は上がり風に吹かれて星もそれなりに見えることが出来ました。
肉眼で見える星空もたくさんありましたが、天の川は貸してくれた双眼鏡でハッキリと見え、家族全員で感動しました。
当日は直前の雨の影響で、雲が残っていたものの、隙間から見える星を解説してもらいながら、星空に魅力されました！
小学2年生の次男は、少し難しいだろう星空の解説にも関わらず、星を一生懸命探しながら興奮していました。
緯度の違いで普段見える星空の見えかたも違い、説明も分かりやすかったです。また、直前の雨でも椅子や借りた双眼鏡などは濡れていることもなく、素敵な石垣島の思い出深い経験になりました。

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful!!
It was disappointing not to see the coconut crabs, but it was fun to see bats and other things☺️
The guide was also cool and entertaining.
I'm glad I could experience something out of the ordinary!
It was helpful that they drove me back to the hotel where I was staying!

星空がめっちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！！
ヤシガニがいなくて残念でしたが、コウモリなど見れて楽しかったです☺️
ガイドのお兄さんもかっこよくて面白かったです
非日常を味わえてよかったです！
帰りも宿泊してるホテルまで送ってもらえて助かりました！

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and moving! The guide was very knowledgeable about the stars, and it was a lot of fun to enjoy the viewing while listening to the explanations. At the night safari, I was able to see animals and plants I had never seen before, and it was enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

星空がとても綺麗で感動しました！
ガイドの方はとても星に詳しく、説明を聞きながらの鑑賞はとても楽しかったです。
ナイトサファリでは今まで見たことない動物や植物を見ることができ、楽しかったです！
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！

Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were very beautiful, but there were quite a few moths flying around, and as someone who is not good with insects, I couldn't concentrate much on the stars.

幸運にも天気に恵まれて、星はとてもきれいに見えたのですが、蛾などがけっこう飛びかっていて、虫がとても苦手な私は、あまり星に集中できませんでした。

In a wonderful environment without light, I was able to see many beautiful stars. The guide was very skilled, and it was a great time that allowed me to rediscover the joy of stargazing.

明かりのない素晴らしい環境の中、きれいな星がたくさん見られました。ガイドの方の案内もとても上手で、天体観測の楽しさを改めて知れたいい時間となりました。

The starry sky was very beautiful. It was great to have explanations since we could focus on various stars. That day happened to be the day of the meteor shower, so we were excited to see many shooting stars. They set up a square in the meadow, but the bugs weren't too bothersome. It would have been even better if we had more time to photograph the stars.

とても綺麗に星空が見えました。
いろんな星に注目できるので解説があったのがとても良かった。
その日は丁度流星群の日だったので、いくつも流れ星が見れて盛り上がりました。
原っぱに広場を設けてるのですが虫はそれほど気になりませんでした。
星を撮影できる時間があればもっと良かった。

I participated with my middle school and high school children. I was worried because a typhoon was coming, but instead of canceling, we postponed and took on the challenge! I'm really glad we didn't give up and participated. The guide was truly entertaining! I couldn't stop feeling excited! We found various creatures one after another! My daughter and son, who were initially reluctant due to their rebellious phase, were surprisingly thrilled! We got to see a starry sky with the Milky Way, and my troubled heart cleared up; it was truly a wonderful night. It might have been the most fun I've had on Ishigaki Island. I apologize for the trouble when my son rushed to the restroom due to a stomachache, but everyone was so warm-hearted, and I can't express how grateful I am for that night. I want to go again!

私と中学生、高校生の子供と三人で参加しました。台風が来ていたので心配でしたが、キャンセルせずに日延べをしてチャレンジ！あきらめず参加してよかったです。本当にガイドさんが面白い！　とにかくワクワクが止まりません！　いろいろな生き物が次から次へと見つけるし出てくるし！　最初は気乗りしなかった反抗期の娘と息子はびっくりするぐらい大はしゃぎ！満点の星空に天の川が見れて、モヤモヤした心がすっきり晴れて本当に素敵な夜でした。石垣島で一番楽しかったかもです。途中で息子が腹痛でトイレに駆け込みご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さん心温かくて感謝しきれないくらいの夜でした。また行きたいです！

They made sure to keep space between our group and others to avoid close contact, and they also prepared tea for us. Most importantly, they provided a thorough explanation about the stars, and before we knew it, an hour had passed! Honestly, I had some concerns about whether it was okay to go during this time, but it was amazing to see so many stars that I've always wanted to see! I never expected to see the Milky Way so beautifully… I definitely want to participate again!

三密回避で、きちんとグループ以外の人達との空間はあけてくださっていたし、お茶も用意してくださって、何より星のことたくさん丁寧に説明してくださって、あっという間に1時間が過ぎました！
正直、この時期に行っても良いのかな？という気持ちはありましたが、念願の星がたくさん見れて最高でした‼︎天の川があんなにきれいに観れるとは…
また、参加したいなぁと思います！

Before the tour started, it was quite cloudy, so we were asked for a final confirmation of our willingness to participate (even though the clouds might obstruct our view of the stars). Since my stay was short and I couldn't reschedule to another date, I decided to join, and I was able to see many stars and really enjoyed it.

I was also impressed by the star guide's announcements, which were backed by their extensive knowledge. The visibility of stars varies depending on the weather at that time, so I assume they adapt flexibly each time. There were many moments of spontaneous improvisation.

The pre-participation confirmation and the engaging talks to entertain the guests both reflected a simple yet pure intention to let participants genuinely enjoy the stars, showcasing their consideration and performance. I hope for good weather next time and plan to join again.

ツアー開始前、曇りがちだったため、現地に着いてから最終の意思確認（雲が架かって、星が存分に見れないかもしれないけど参加します？）をされました。短期滞在だったことと、予定が埋まり他日程への振替が出来ないこともあり、結果参加させて頂きましたが、多くの星を見る事ができ楽しめました。
また、星案内人さんの豊富な知識に裏付けされたアナウンスにも感服。その日、その時間の天気によって見えやすい星が異なるので、その都度臨機応変にご対応されているものと推測します。柔軟なアドリブが随所にありました。
参加する前の意思確認や、お客を楽しませるためのトーク、いずれも「参加した方に純粋に星を楽しんでもらう」というシンプルながら高純度の想いがあるからこその配慮やパフォーマンス。
次回は運良く天気になればよいな、と神頼みして参加しようと思います。

I participated two years ago in the fall, and this time I joined in the summer. Overall, the beautiful starry sky was truly a wonderful experience. Compared to my last visit, I was a little disappointed this time. The guide from my previous visit had great speaking skills and extensive knowledge, which moved me beyond just the starry sky and made me decide to return. However, this time there was no final Q&A session, and I felt there were fewer detailed discussions, such as how many billions of light-years away the stars are.

That said, it was only a slight disappointment compared to my expectations. If it’s your first time, I believe you will undoubtedly be impressed.

They were very kind in helping us adjust the binoculars for the children. My 4-year-old and 7-year-old were delighted, saying, "I can see it!" (Last time, my 2-year-old was mostly asleep.)

前回は2年前の秋に参加。今回は夏に参加しました。
総じて大変な綺麗な星空が見え、本当に素敵な体験でした。
前回との比較では、今回は少しだけがっかり。
前回のガイドさんのトーク力・知識が豊富で、星空だけでなく、そこにも感動し再訪を決めました。
しかし今回は、最後の質問タイムもなく、あの星は何億光年前の光が届いている等の細かな話なども少なかった印象でした。

ただ、期待値に対して少し残念、というレベル。はじめての利用であれば、間違いなく感動されると思います。

子ども用の双眼鏡も、一緒にピントをあわせていただけるなど、とても親切にしていただきました。4歳と7歳の子どもも「見えた！」と喜んでいました。(前回、2歳児はほぼ終始寝ておりました)

I came to Ishigaki Island dreaming of a starry sky, but unfortunately, due to the mischief of the trade winds, my dream did not come true.

However, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements by the staff, I got to see the stars on the ground (the night view). ✨✨

By chance, a coconut crab appeared, and I took pictures with the beautiful pink sagaribana, being careful not to step on the hermit crabs scurrying about... I enjoyed the nighttime adventure on the island.

What impressed me the most was that after the tour, the staff thoroughly assisted me with planning the next day's tour, allowing me to have a wonderful experience! ❗

Thank you so much! ☺️ I had a great time! ➰✨

満点の星空を夢見て石垣島に来たものの、
パイカジ（南風)のいたずらで残念ながら、夢叶わず

でもstaffさんの粋な計らいで、
地上の星(夜景)を見ました。✨✨

運良く、ヤシガニもあらわれ、美しいピンクのサガリバナと共に写真を撮り、せっせと歩くヤドカリたちを踏み潰さないように…と、夜の島のアドベンチャーを楽しみました。

何よりも私が感激したのは、
ツアー後、翌日のツアーの相談にstaffさんがトコトン付き合ってくれて、素晴らしいツアーを体験することができたこと❗

本当にありがとう☺️
楽しかったよ➰✨

It was just the right time to see the comet, and I was able to see it with my own eyes! I was so moved! I got lost and arrived late from the meeting time, but I was very grateful for the staff's polite guidance!

ちょうど、彗星が見える時期で
肉眼で見ることができました！感激です！
道に迷ってしまい、集合時間から遅れてしまったのですが
スタッフの皆様の丁寧なご案内で、とてもありがたかったです！

I participated in the starry sky tour because Ishigaki Island has been designated as a starry sky protection area! I chose this tour because I could cancel until 4 PM if the weather was concerning.

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds before departure, which made me a bit anxious, but I boarded a large, beautiful cruise ship, enjoyed a drink, and received a thorough explanation of the precautions from the staff, which made me forget my worries as we set sail!

We soon passed under the Southern Gate Bridge, which looked stunning lit up from the sea! As we headed into the darkness, the stars began to appear! Although there were some clouds, I could see many small stars that I couldn't see back home! I was amazed at how many stars there were, feeling like they were closer than ever!

Our guide, Suzuki, used a laser pointer to explain the stars, making it easy to understand and very interesting! After that, there was a sanshin live performance, and while listening to Okinawan folk songs, the pleasant breeze and the starry sky washed my heart clean!

The night view of Ishigaki Island from the sea was also beautiful, and all the stress from the pandemic life just vanished! Nature is wonderful!

I had the impression that larger group tours often treated customers roughly, but here, the kind staff provided careful explanations and implemented solid infection control measures, allowing me to participate with peace of mind. Thank you very much! I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

石垣島は星空保護区に認定されているということで星空てぃんがーらツアーに参加しました！
天候が気になって16時までならキャンセルもできるということでこちらのツアーにしました！
参加当日は、出航前に少し雲が出ていて少し不安もあるなか、大型の素敵なクルーズ船に乗り込みお酒を頂き席へ、スタッフさんから注意事項の丁寧な説明があり不安も忘れて出航！笑
すぐに昼間通ったサザンゲートブリッジの下をくぐりました、海から見るライトアップしてるサザンゲートブリッジも素敵でした！
いよいよ暗闇へ、向かってくなか星が見えてきました！雲も少しありましたが、地元では見えないような小さな星まで沢山見えました！地元より近くに星が見えて、こんなに星が沢山あるのかと感動しました！
ガイドの鈴木さんがレザーポインターで星の説明をしてくれて分かりやすくて面白かったです！
そのあと三線ライブがあり、沖縄の民謡を聞きながら心地よい風と満天の星空、めちゃくちゃ心洗われました！
海から見る石垣島の夜景も素敵で、自粛生活のストレスが一気に吹き飛びました！
自然て素晴らしい！
大人数のツアーだと雑に扱われるショップさんが多い印象でしたが、こちらは島の優しいスタッフさんの丁寧な説明と、しっかりした感染対策で安心して参加できました。ありがとうございました！
また石垣島に来た際は参加させていただきますね！

I was able to see the Neowise comet. They also provided explanations of various constellations. It was nice to lean back in a chair while using binoculars and enjoying the drink service.

ネオワイズド彗星が見れました。他にも色々な星座の説明もしてくれます。イスにもたれながら双眼鏡、ドリンクサービスなどよかったです。

The guide was really interesting and fun. I encountered many creatures I had never seen before, and I even came across a snake. Above all, the starry sky was so beautiful that it felt like a dream, and I didn't want to go home...

ガイドのお兄ちゃん、すごく面白く楽しかったです。
今までみたことの生き物と続々と出会い、ハブにも遭遇しました。
そして、何よりも星空がキレイすぎで、夢みたい
、帰りたくはなかったです。。。

I participated in this tour for the first time. I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars, but I was very satisfied as I was able to see many stars. It was great not only to see the stars but also the staff's easy-to-understand explanations of the stars, their names, and how to find constellations, which were clear enough for elementary school children to understand! Even my child, who wasn't very interested in stars, listened with great curiosity. The live sanshin performance also added a nice Okinawan feel, and I enjoyed it comfortably. Additionally, when a rain cloud briefly passed and it started to rain, the staff quickly distributed raincoats, which was a nice service. Social distancing was also properly maintained, which made me feel safe. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely use this shop. Thank you very much! m(__)m

今回、こちらのツアーに初めて参加しました。
星が見えるか不安でしたが、沢山の星を見ることができ大満足でした。
星を見ることが出来たことも良かったですがスタッフの分かりやすい星の説明や名前、星座の見つけ方など小学生の子供にも分かりやすい解説が良かったです！
あまり星に興味がなかった子供も興味津々で話を聞いていました☆
三線ライブも沖縄感が出て心地よく聞く事が出来ました
又、一瞬雨雲がかかり雨が少し降った際はスタッフの方が素早くレインコートを配ってくださりサービスも良かったです。
ソーシャルディスタンスもきちんと保たれ安心でした。
また機会がある際は、また利用しようと思うショップさんでした。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

We participated with two children and four people in total. The night safari was an exciting adventure. The guides were very kind and supportive to the children, helping us find many creatures, and we encountered more animals than we expected. They provided detailed explanations about the creatures, Ishigaki Island, and the starry sky. It was nice to have a more intimate and private feel compared to larger tours. The starry sky and shooting stars were a lucky treat, and they also taught us about many constellations. We were even shown a beautiful night view, making it a memorable tour. Thank you so much for everything!

子供2人と4名で参加させていただきました。
ナイトサファリはドキドキの冒険でした。
子供達にも優しくサポートして下さり、生き物を2人のガイドさんでよくよく探してくれて、思ったよりたくさんの生き物に出会えました。
生き物や石垣島の説明や星空の説明もとても詳しく教えてくれました。大人数のツアーよりアットホームでプライベート感もあって良かったです。
満点の星空と流れ星はラッキーでしたが、たくさんの星座も教えて下さり、おまけの夜景も見せていただき心に残るツアーになりました。本当にお世話になりました！！

I was worried about the unstable weather, but I thought it was considerate that they ask on-site whether to participate or not. When the stars are hidden by clouds and not visible, they flexibly provide explanations about stars from other locations. They also take safety into account with mosquito nets and social distancing measures for COVID-19. I was very satisfied to see a sky full of stars that you can't see in the city. I now want to see the stars in different seasons as well.

天候が不安定で大丈夫かなと思いましたが参加するかしないかを現地で聞いてくれるので良心的だなと思いました。
雲で星が隠れたりして見えないときは臨機応変に他の場所の星の説明をしてくれます。ハブ除けネットやコロナのソーシャルディスタンスなど安全にも配慮されています。
都会では見れない満点の星が見られて大満足です。
また違う季節の星も見てみたくなりました。

I was moved to see the constellations I learned about in the past while looking at real stars; it felt like a natural planetarium. The clouds were moving quickly, the weather was favorable, and the Milky Way was simply beautiful!

昔習った星座を、本物の星を見ながら、天然のプラネタリウムのようで感動しました。
雲の流れが早く、天気にも恵まれて、天の川がとにかく綺麗でした！

The stargazing tour was too bright due to the full moon, so we did a lot of night safaris instead. It was a rare experience to see wild snakes and scorpions, not just in a zoo. They provided thorough explanations regarding safety, and as long as you listen carefully to the guide, you can enjoy it without any issues.

星空ツアーは満月のため明るすぎると言うことで、ナイトサファリを多くやって頂きました。動物園ではなく、野生のハブやサソリが観れたのは貴重な経験でした。安全に対してもしっかり説明して頂けましたし、しっかりガイドさんの話を聞けば問題無く楽しむことができます。

The explanations were great, the view was excellent, and it was the best! I want to visit Ishigaki Island again, and I also want to start looking for stars on my own in the future.

説明もよくて、見晴らしもよくて、最高！
また石垣島に来たくなったのと、今後は自分でもは星を探していきたいとおもいました。

I used it with my girlfriend, and it was very helpful that it was possible even the day before. The weather was nice, and we were able to see things that we couldn't see on the main island, which was great.

彼女と利用しましたが前日でも可能でとても助かりました。天気も良く本島では見れないものが見れてとてもよかったです。

It was cloudy until we arrived at the observation site, but gradually the clouds cleared, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky! The staff had extensive knowledge and responded smoothly to various questions. The starry sky that can only be seen in Ishigaki Island is highly recommended!

観測場所に着くまで曇っていましたが、
徐々に雲が減って、
綺麗な星空を見ることが
出来ました！！
スタッフさんの知識が豊富で、
いろいろな質問にも
スムーズに返答頂きました。
石垣島でしか見られない星空は、
おすすめです！！

It was cloudy, so the starry sky was almost not visible, but I was able to see coconut crabs and I was satisfied with the jungle night tour. Thank you very much.

曇っていたため、星空はほぼ見えませんでしたが、ヤシガニなども見れてジャングルナイトツアーは満足でした。有り難うございました。
