All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

Since Kawahira Bay was not accessible due to high waves, we were guided to a different location. Other tours were operating boats in that area, but they had a style where you walked from the shore. Additionally, the staff mentioned that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is mostly not possible during this season, which raises doubts about why they were promoting tours that included SUP. However, the guide was very kind, and I enjoyed the tour itself.

川平湾が高波でNGだったので、別の場所への案内でした。他のツアーはそのエリアで船を出してましたが、岸から歩くスタイルでした。また、supはこの時期は殆ど出来ないと当日スタッフが仰っていました。なぜsupの出来るツアーを募集していたのか、不信感。ガイドの方はとても親切でツアー自体は楽しめました。

I had a great time paddling harder than I expected and going faster! I enjoyed the nature of Okinawa to the fullest, exploring areas covered by mangroves and entering caves. The instructors were all very cheerful and entertaining!

しっかり漕ぐと思ったよりスピードが出て楽しかったです！上までマングローブに覆われたところや洞窟に入ったり、存分に沖縄の自然を味わえました◎インストラクターの皆さんとても明るく面白い方ばかりでした！

Due to the approaching typhoon, all locations for SUP, snorkeling, and canoeing were changed from Kabira Bay, but I had a really enjoyable time♡

The guides were very kind and warmly welcomed us with attentive hospitality!

If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would like to experience activities at Kabira Bay next time!

I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Mine, who led the SUP tour, Ms. Hina, who was in charge of snorkeling and canoeing, and all the other guides. Thank you so much♡

P.S. This was my first trip with my boyfriend, so it became a very precious memory.

台風接近の影響により、SUP、シュノーケリング、カヌーのすべてのロケーションが川平湾から変更となりましたが、大変楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました♡

ガイドの皆様も非常に親切で、きめ細やかなおもてなしで温かく迎えてくださいました！

また石垣島を訪れる機会がありましたら、次こそは川平湾でアクティビティを体験したいと思います！

この度、SUPのツアーを引率してくださった峰先生、シュノーケリングとカヌーの担当をしてくださったヒナ先生、その他ガイドの皆様、本当にありがとうございました♡

P.S. 彼氏との初めての遠出だったので、とても貴重な思い出になりました。

良い体験で安全でした。知識豊富なツアーガイドです。

Good experience and safe
Well knowledge tour guide.

The staff members provided very detailed explanations about Ishigaki Island and its wildlife. During our visit, we were able to observe coconut crabs, sea snakes, and the Semaru hako turtle, among others. The staff caught a sea snake, so we had the experience of touching it, which was really fun! Unfortunately, the starry sky was cloudy and the moon was out, so that was a bit disappointing. I've heard that the stars are beautiful during a new moon. I would love to participate again!

スタッフの方々が石垣島の事や生き物の話をとても丁寧に説明をしてくださいます。私達の時はヤシガニ、海ヘビ、セマルハコガメ等々を観察できました。海ヘビはスタッフの方が捕まえられたので触る体験もできて、とても楽しかったです！星空は曇りだったのと月が出てたので少し残念。星空は真月の時が綺麗に観えるそうです。また参加したいと思います。

First canoe experience.
I couldn't see the sunrise, but I had a great time.
I'm very grateful to our guide Hiroki 😊.
Next time, I want to try SUP.
I definitely look forward to it again!

初のカヌー体験。
朝日は見れなかったけど
楽しく過ごせました。
ガイドの弘基さんにはとても感謝😊。
今度はSUPを挑戦したいです。
是非またよろしくお願いします。

I was able to see a starry sky that I can't see in Honshu! I was also moved by the guide's story about how there are no developed areas to the north in Ishigaki to protect the light of the stars.

本州では見れない星空が見れました！石垣では星の光を守るためにも北側には栄えたところがないというガイドさんのお話も感動しました

I was amazed by the sheer number of fish I've never seen before, all so colorful! I was also thrilled to see Nemo in person, something I've only seen in videos before.

これまで見たことないくらいたくさんのお魚と、色鮮やかな魚ばかりで感動しました！
初動画でしか見たことないニモも生で見れて感動

It truly felt like an adventure walking through the jungle with our friendly guide! We were able to see various creatures and insects, including rock crabs, coconut crabs, Murakawa-san?, and long-legged spiders 👀. There were so many highlights, like witnessing a large number of fish jumping out of the water!

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but we were still able to see two stars, which was nice, haha.

Additionally, we tried the izakaya recommended by our guide, and everything was delicious, so we were very satisfied!

I forgot my luggage, but the guide kindly brought it to the izakaya, which was a huge help 🙇‍♀️.

I definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

気さくなガイドさんのもと、ジャングル内を歩いて本当に探検しているようでした！
岩隠れカニ、ヤシガニ、むらおかさん？、テナガグモ等色んな生物や虫を見ることができました👀
海面で大量の魚が飛び跳ねてるとこも見れたりと見どころ満載でした！！

あいにく曇りでしたが、星を2個だけ見ることもできました笑

また、ガイドさんおすすめの居酒屋にも行ってみたところ全部美味しくて満足でした！

荷物を忘れてしまったのですが、居酒屋まで持ってきていただいたのでとても助かりました🙇‍♀️

ぜひ皆さんもおすすめです！

Although the chance of rain was 80%, it was beautifully sunny, and we were able to experience everything without getting wet. The mangroves offered a breathtaking panorama that felt like something out of a dream. While paddleboarding, the waves were gentle, making it easy to ride. The maneuverability was great, so I highly recommend it. Meeting the Ryukyu Kingfisher was a highlight, and the guide's insights were unique to this place, making it a wonderful memory. In the Blue Cave, the sea, coral reefs, and colorful fish of all sizes were stunning. I did feel a bit unwell at one point, but the kind words from the staff helped me get through it. Everyone else on the tour was lovely too, and we waved goodbye with big smiles as we parted ways.

降水確率80%でしたが、しっかり晴れて雨にあたることなく、体験できました。
マングローブでは、日本と思えないパノラマが広がり感動しました。サップでは、波も少なく簡単に乗ることができました。小回りもきくので、とてもおすすめです。リュウキュウアカショウビンに出会えて、ガイドさんの案内も、ここならでは！と言うことばかりで、とても、いい思い出になりました。青の洞窟では、海と珊瑚礁、大小のカラフルな魚達、美しかったです。途中、気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、優しい声かけをしていただき、無事すごせました。また、同じツアーに参加した皆さんも、素敵な方で別れ際は大きく手を振って笑顔でわかれました。

The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but thanks to the sun being hidden behind the clouds, I was able to enjoy a relatively pleasant SUP experience. This was my second time doing SUP, but at times the wind was strong, and I felt like I would be swept out to sea if I didn't keep paddling, haha. With the precise advice from my instructor, Sugi-chan, sitting down reduced the resistance, allowing me to return to the shore. I had a wonderful time enjoying SUP for about an hour!

曇り時々晴れという天気でしたが、太陽が雲に隠れていたおかげで比較的気持ちよくSUP体験ができました。
今回は2回目のSUPでしたが、時々風が強く吹き常に漕いでいないと沖に流されてしまいそうでした笑
インストラクターのすぎちゃんの的確なアドバイスで座ると抵抗が少なくなり岸の方へ戻ることもできました。
約1時間ゆったりとSUP体験ができてとっても楽しかったです！！

I participated in the mangrove canoeing and snorkeling activities.

Honestly, both activities were amazing! I spent the entire day with them, experiencing mangrove canoeing in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon. The guides were incredibly kind and attentive, which made it easy to relax and enjoy. Both guides had extensive knowledge and experience, allowing us to learn while having fun, making it the best day ever.

I was worried about the weather, but they made sure we could enjoy ourselves no matter what the conditions were, so I was very satisfied!

マングローブカヌーandシュノーケリングに参加させていただきました。

率直にどちらのアクティビティも最高でした♪
午前はマングローブカヌー体験、午後はシュノーケリング体験と丸一日お世話になりましたが、とにかくガイドさんが親切丁寧で安心して楽しめた上に、どちらのガイドさんも経験知識が豊富で楽しみながら学ぶ事ができ最高の1日でした。

天候の心配もありましたが、どんな天気でも楽しめるよう対応していただいたので大満足です！

I was very satisfied to see the colorful fish and beautiful corals of the tropical region! The guide's attention to safety was thorough, allowing me to enjoy the tour with peace of mind!

南国のカラフルな魚たちと綺麗なサンゴが見れて大満足でした！ガイドの人の安全配慮も行き届いていて、安心してツアーを過ごせました！

I was so excited to encounter the coconut crab that I had been hoping to see! The guide's explanations were also interesting, and I became a fan of coconut crabs! Haha!

目当てだったヤシガニに出会えて大興奮！ガイドさんの説明も面白くて、ヤシガニファンになってしまいました！笑

Initially, we planned to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Kawahira Bay, but due to high waves, we ended up at Miyara River instead. It was a lot of fun! We got caught in the rain, but since you get wet while paddleboarding anyway, I highly recommend experiencing it on a rainy day! Our guide, Mr. Tsuchiya, was handsome and comes highly recommended! 👍

当初は川平湾でsup予定でしたが高波の影響で宮良川でのsupとなりましたが楽しかったです。雨に振られましたが、supで濡れるので雨の日こそ体験しちゃった方がいいくらいのオススメ度です！土屋さんというガイドさん、イケメンでオススメです👍

Kenken's guide was kind to the children, full of service spirit, and it was a wonderful tour. The kids were thrilled to see sea snakes, fireflies, many insects, creatures like coconut crabs, and the starry sky of Ishigaki Island for the first time. I have experienced various tours before, but this one was number one!

ケンケンのガイドは子供たちに優しく、サービス精神旺盛で素敵なツアーでした。ウミヘビやホタル、たくさんの虫に、ヤシガニなどの生き物、初めての石垣島の星空が見れて子供達は大興奮でした。
今まで色々なツアーを体験しましたが、今回がナンバーワンでした！

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I participated in a tour because my second-grade son loves living creatures, and I wanted to see the coconut crab as well.

The tour location was far from the city, in a place that truly felt like a jungle, where you would never have the chance to enter without a tour guide.

It was enjoyable to see various creatures along the way and hear detailed explanations, but above all, the sense of security that came from being with a guide who knows the jungle inside and out was wonderful. This is definitely an experience you can’t have without going on a tour, so I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering it.

I would love to join the tour again the next time I visit Ishigaki Island.

石垣島への初旅行で、小2の息子が生き物好きで自分もヤシガニを見てみたかったので参加した。

ツアーの場所は市街地から遠く離れた、まさにジャングルというような場所で、ツアーガイドさんと一緒じゃないと絶対に立ち入る機会がないような場所だった。

道中色んな生き物が見れて詳しい解説が聞けるのも楽しいですし、なによりジャングルを知り尽くしているガイドさんと一緒という安心感が素晴らしかった。これは間違いなくツアーに行かないと体験できないので、悩んでいる人には是非おすすめしたい。

次に石垣島に行く時もまた参加したい。

It was truly amazing to see such rare creatures. The explanations were thorough and easy to understand, and the guide's love for the animals really came through, making it a lot of fun!

珍しい生き物見えてほんとに最高でした。説明も丁寧で、分かりやすく、あとガイドさんの生き物愛が伝わってとても楽しかったです！

The night jungle was more exciting than I imagined, and I was thrilled to see many creatures that I usually don't get to see. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, making it a very valuable experience.

夜のジャングルは想像以上にワクワクし、普段見られない生き物もたくさん見れて感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も楽しく、とても貴重な体験になりました。

It was my first snorkeling tour, and I was impressed by the clarity of the water. I saw a lot of fish and was very satisfied. The guide was also kind, which made it easy to enjoy. I would like to participate again.

初めてのシュノーケルツアーでしたが、海の透明度に感動し、魚もたくさん見れて大満足でした。ガイドさんも親切で安心して楽しめました。また参加したいです。

It was a very enjoyable snorkeling tour! The staff were kind, and I felt safe participating even as a beginner. The ocean was truly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish and corals, which was very moving. Additionally, I even encountered a sea turtle, making it an absolutely amazing experience! The explanations were thorough and easy to understand, and I was very satisfied with the photos they took. If you're going to go snorkeling in Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend this tour!

とても楽しいシュノーケリングツアーでした！
スタッフの皆さんも親切で、初めてでも安心して参加することができました。
海が本当に綺麗で、たくさんの魚やサンゴを見ることができ、とても感動しました。
さらにウミガメにも出会うことができて、本当に最高の体験でした！
説明も丁寧で分かりやすく、写真も撮っていただけて大満足です。
石垣島でシュノーケリングをするならぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！

It was a very enjoyable night tour! The guide was very kind, and I felt safe participating.

The atmosphere of Ishigaki Island at night was wonderful, and I was moved by the many creatures I was able to see. I got to see coconut crabs, various insects, and even some rare animals, making it a truly valuable experience!

The explanations were easy to understand, and I was very satisfied that they took photos for us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Ishigaki Island! Thank you!

とても楽しいナイトツアーでした！ガイドさんもとても親切で、安心して参加することができました。

夜の石垣島は雰囲気がとても良く、たくさんの生き物を見ることができて感動しました。ヤシガニや色々な昆虫、珍しい動物も見ることができて、本当に貴重な体験でした！

説明も分かりやすく、写真も撮っていただけて大満足です。石垣島に来る方にはぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！ありがとうございました！

I was able to experience the rich ecosystem of Ishigaki Island. I was moved by the underwater world filled with sea snakes, unusual fish I had never seen before, and colorful scenery.

石垣島の豊かな生態系に触れることができた。
ウミヘビや見たことの無いような変わった魚、カラフルな景色が水中世界に広がっていて感動をおぼえた。

The outline of the moon was clear, and the stars were beautiful. I never got bored during the ride thanks to the tour guide's extensive knowledge.

月の輪郭がハッキリしていて、星も綺麗だった。
ツアーガイドの豊富な知識で車に乗っていても飽きなかった。

It was a fun day of snorkeling and canoeing!

We did snorkeling in the morning, had lunch in between, and then went canoeing in the afternoon. I was actually disappointed when the plan changed from the Blue Cave to Osaki due to bad weather, but I was very satisfied to see a sea turtle up close, which is quite rare even in the Blue Cave. Plus, it was nice that it wasn't too hot!

During the morning snorkeling:
- The instructor taught us carefully, so I was able to start with a float and then swim on my own and enjoy it.
- The water clarity at Osaki was high, allowing us to observe colorful fish, sea turtles, and sea snakes up close.
- We had the amazing experience of a sea turtle coming up for air right in the middle of our group.
- Looking back, I'm glad we experienced Osaki instead of the Blue Cave.

In the afternoon mangrove canoeing:
- Thanks to the humorous instructor, we had a great time.
- We were able to observe hermit crabs (maybe?).

Overall, it was a day full of extraordinary experiences that even beginners could enjoy safely! By the way, during the lunch break between the morning and afternoon sessions, we took a shower at a tour-related facility and then went to a recommended burger place that serves Ishigaki beef, which was also excellent.

As for other highlights, we saw the following from the car window:
- Sugarcane fields and their processing factory
- Ishigaki beef and Jersey cows
- Peacocks (they were spreading their feathers and making sounds)
- Pigs (maybe Agu pigs?)

参加して楽しいシュノーケリングとカヌーでした！

シュノーケリングは午前に実施して、お昼を挟んで、カヌーは午後に実施しました。
実は天候不良で予定していた青の洞窟から大崎に変更になりガッカリしていたのですが、青の洞窟でもなかなか遭遇しにくい？ウミガメを間近で見ることができて、大満足でした。しかも暑くなくて良かった！

午前のシュノーケリングでは、
・インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれたので、浮き輪スタートでも途中から自力で泳いで楽しむことができました
・大崎の海の透明度が高く、カラフルな魚・ウミガメ・ウミヘビを間近で観察できました
・ウミガメが自分たちの輪の中に息継ぎしにくるという感動体験がありました
・今思うと青の洞窟でなくて、体験できた大崎で良かったです

午後のマングローブカヌーでは、
・ユーモアたっぷりのインストラクターのおかげで楽しめました
・ヤドカニ（？）の生き物も観察できました

全体を通して、
初心者でも安心して参加できる、非日常感たっぷりの一日でした！
ちなみに午前と午後の間のお昼では、ツアー関連の施設でシャワーを浴びた後、インストラクターさんのおすすめの石垣牛ハンバーガー屋さんに行きました。
こちらのおすすめも非常に良かったです。

その他見所ですが、車窓から次を見れました
・サトウキビ畑とその加工工場
・石垣牛とジャージー牛
・くじゃく（羽開いたり、鳴いてました）
・豚（アグー豚？）

I participated in the long-awaited Blue Cave tour! Luckily, I was able to swim with sea turtles, which became a lifelong memory. The blueness of the cave was stunning, and colorful tropical fish swam right in front of me, making it feel like a natural aquarium. It was the best experience, and I am very satisfied!

念願の青の洞窟ツアーに参加しました！運良くウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができて、一生の思い出になりました。洞窟の青さもさることながら、カラフルな熱帯魚が目の前をたくさん泳いでいて、まるで天然の水族館のよう。最高の体験ができて大満足です！

This was my first time participating, and I felt truly cared for from start to finish, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I learned a lot about the ocean, making it a special experience that was more than just swimming. They took many photos and videos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I definitely want to participate again!

初めて参加しましたが、最初から最後まで本当に丁寧に対応していただき安心して楽しめました。海の知識もたくさん教えてもらえて、ただ泳ぐだけじゃない特別な体験になりました。写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただき、一生の思い出です。また絶対参加したいです！

I participated in the jungle night tour, and it was more impressive than I expected! The coconut crab I encountered in the darkness was much larger than I imagined, and I was overwhelmed by its strength. Also, when I looked up, the starry sky was filled with so many stars that it felt like they might spill over, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The guide's explanations were thorough, making it an unforgettable and amazing night!

ジャングルナイトツアーに参加しましたが、期待以上の大迫力でした！暗闇の中で遭遇したヤシガニは、想像よりもずっと大きく、その力強さに圧倒されました。また、ふと見上げた星空は、こぼれ落ちそうなほど満天の星で、言葉を失うほどの美しさです。ガイドさんの解説も丁寧で、忘れられない最高の夜になりました！

Despite the unfortunate weather, I participated with a faint hope, but I couldn't see the stars after all. However, our guide Kenken worked hard to find coconut crabs and shared many stories about the creatures of Ishigaki, as well as information about stars and constellations, which made me feel a deep love for Ishigaki. ♥ In the end, we also got to see fireflies, which left me extremely satisfied. I definitely want to come back for a revenge trip to see the starry sky!

あいにくのお天気の中、微かな希望を持って参加しましたが、やっぱり星は見られずでした。でも、ガイドのケンケンさんが、一生懸命にヤシガニを見つけてくれたり、石垣の生き物の話や、星や星座の事などたくさん教えてくれて、石垣への愛をたっぷり感じさせてもらいました♥
最後にホタルも見送ってくれて、大大満足でした。また、星空を見にリベンジしたいと思います！
