All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

We joined a tour because my 5-year-old and 3-year-old really wanted to see coconut crabs. We went to a location that is not accessible to the general public by car, explored for about an hour, and were able to see our long-awaited coconut crabs—three of them! We also saw many other creatures that we usually can't see, and it seems the kids had a lot of fun and were very satisfied. Since it was cloudy this time, I hope we can see the starry sky next time.

5歳と3歳の子供がヤシガニがどうしても観たいということでツアーに参加しました。
車で一般の人では立ち入れないようなポイントに行き、1時間ほど探索し念願のヤシガニを3匹見ることができました！
他にも普段見ることの出来ない生物がたくさん観られて子供達もとても楽しかったと満足したようです。
今回は曇っていたので観れなかった星空を次回は観れたらいいなと思います。

I went for my birthday and it was a nice experience. The current was a little bit strong so we went to a different area for snorkeling. It is perfect for beginners or if it’s your first time snorkeling. Staff was so nice.

I’m not sure if you should really call it jungle or maybe I was expecting something else but it is kind of a trail to the beach area. It was fun and not scary at all, nonetheless. Thanks!

It was my first experience with canoeing, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment as the guides were very kind and attentive, running alongside us and leading the way. I participated alone, but I was warmly supported, for which I am grateful. The bus driver was also friendly, providing guidance along the way and addressing each family by name. It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much! ♪

カヌー初体験でしたがとても親切丁寧に並走したり導いてくださったりでやり遂げ感がありとても有意義な時を過ごせました。1人参加でしたが温かく見守ってくださり感謝です。バス送迎の方も親切で途中の道々のガイドをしながらファミリーごとの名前で話しかけてくださったりとてもよいツアーでした。ありがとうございました♪

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunrise due to the cloudy weather, but we were guided through the mangroves. The instructor's stories were interesting, and we had a great time.

あいにくの曇天で朝日を見ることは出来なかったですが、マングローブを案内していただきました。
インストラクターの方のお話も面白く楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

妻と私は素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました！私にとって初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても簡単で楽しかったです。

特に、ガイドのディエゴはイケメンで、すべてをとても簡単に説明してくれました。彼のおかげでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。そして、ディエゴの助けで海蛇を見ることができました。

このアクティビティを強くお勧めします。

追伸：イケメンのディエゴは運転中に石垣島の歴史を説明してくれました。それが土地を理解するのに役立ちました。

My wife and me could make awesome memory! It was my first snorkeling but it was so easy and a lot of fun.

Especially, our guide Diego, ikemen, explains everthing so easy. It help me to enjoy snorkeling. And, I could see a sea snake with Diego's help.

I strongly recommend this activity.

P. S. The ikeman explain Ishigaki's history while driving. It help me to understand the land.

I participated in a canoe tour at Kawahira Bay, which received three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The weather was perfect, and I thoroughly enjoyed the emerald green sea and nature! I was also able to see the power spot, Heart Rock, and I made wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island. The guide, Hiro-san, shared many fun stories and recommended several great places to visit on Ishigaki Island. Next time, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding! Thank you!

ミシュラングリーンガイドで三ツ星を獲得した川平湾のカヌーツアーに参加しました。お天気にも恵まれて、エメラルドグリーンの海と自然を満喫しました！
パワースポットのハート岩も見る事ができて、石垣島で最高の思い出ができました〜
ガイドのHiro-sanのお話も楽しく、石垣島のオススメのお店もたくさん教えていただきました。
次回はSUP体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Kayak Tour at Kabira Bay that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the clear waters of Kabira Bay, but I was able to enjoy the tropical trees and coral rocks along the shore! The guide, Hiro, shared some fun anecdotes, and the water play time along the way was also enjoyable.

午後出発の川平湾カヌーツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの曇り空で、川平湾の透き通った水面を見ることはできませんでしたが、岸辺の南国の木々や珊瑚の岩を楽しむことができました！
ガイドのひろさんの小ネタや途中の水遊びタイムも楽しかったです。

Due to the ocean conditions, we changed to a half-day SUP cruise on the Miyara River on the day of our visit. Paddling slowly through the mangrove forest was an emotional experience, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of nature. Our guide Hina from PiPi was also very knowledgeable about nature, and learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangrove trees was truly educational!

海の状況から半日のSUP宮良川クルーズに当日に変更していただきました。ヒルギの森をゆっくりSUPで流していくだけで、大自然の美しさや静けさが感動的でした。PiPiのガイドのヒナさんも自然の知識が豊富で、ヒルギの木の不思議な生態などホントの勉強になりました！

I was hoping to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to the weather, we ended up canoeing. Canoeing was easy enough for elementary school students to paddle, so both adults and children could enjoy it. I was satisfied that we could go to an area behind Kabira Bay that is usually inaccessible. The guide was friendly and it was really great.

川平湾SUPを希望していましたが、
天候の影響でカヌーになりました。
カヌーは小学生でも簡単にパドルを操作できるので大人も子供も楽しむことができました。川平湾の裏側という通常では行けないエリアにも行くことができて満足です。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでとても良かったです。

The guide was full of energy, and we had a great time participating. Not only did we learn about canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island, but the recommendations for the town were also interesting, and I took notes on everything, haha.

As a couple who went canoeing for the second time, we were a bit flustered, but with the encouragement of the guide, we were able to fully enjoy canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island.

Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

ガイドさんが元気いっぱいで、とっても楽しく参加させていただきました。カヌーや石垣島の自然の話しだけでなく、町のオススメなども面白く、全てメモしました笑

カヌー2回目の夫婦なので、あたふたしながらも、ガイドさんに励まされながら、カヌーと石垣島の自然を満喫できました

たくさんの写真もありがとうございました

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, absolutely the best! Our guide, Hina, was amazing too!! It was my first time canoeing and I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy canoeing with peace of mind thanks to Hina's careful support and thoughtfulness.

Paddling through the calm river, I felt relaxed yet put in a lot of effort while canoeing. The sunset over the mangroves at Ishigaki was a breathtaking view that can only be seen here.

I really wanted to experience the mangrove canoeing, so I made a last-minute reservation for a ride and joined in the afternoon. During the ride, Hina shared a lot of information about Ishigaki, and I was able to chat and exchange information with the other participants.

It was so much fun! I'm really glad I could participate!

とってもきれいな夕やけサイコー！
ガイドのヒナさんサイコー！！
初めてのカヌー&1人参加でしたが、安心してカヌーを楽しめました〜。ヒナさんの丁寧なフォローと心配りに感謝、、です。
穏やかな川の流れのなかを、気分はゆったりでもけっこう一生懸命カヌーを漕いで笑、たどり着いた石垣の夕やけonマングローブはここでしか見ることのできない絶景です。
マングローブカヌーをどうしても体験してみたくて、当日お昼過ぎに急遽申し込み送迎付きでの参加。送迎車中でもヒナさんからたくさんの石垣情報をいただき参加者の皆さんともお話ししたり情報交換したり。
たのしかった〜！参加できてよかった〜！

It was a valuable experience that you can't have in a very urban setting. Although I couldn't see any living creatures during the winter, the starry sky was amazing. I was able to see many shooting stars as well.

とても都会では体験できない貴重な体験でした
冬場で　生き物は見れませんでしたが　星空が最高でした
たくさんの流れ星も見れました

Due to the weather, the snorkeling in the afternoon was moved to another beach. Safety first! It was a fantastic experience. We gathered at 1:30 PM at the red mailbox in the terminal. The guides from Adventure Pipi are all young, energetic, and speak English very well. I really liked it!

由于天气原因 风太大 把下午的浮潜换到了另一个沙滩 安全第一 非常棒的体验 13:30 在terminal的红色邮箱这里集合 adventure pipi的guide都很年轻 很有活力 会讲英语 很喜欢

It was my first experience with canoeing! At first, I couldn't paddle well, but I gradually got the hang of it.

Next, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)!

初めてのカヌー体験でした！
はじめは上手く進みませんでしたが、徐々に慣れてきました。

次はSUPに挑戦してみたいと思います！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the rain, but exploring the mangroves on a SUP was a very enjoyable experience. We came on our honeymoon, and our guide was thoughtful enough to take some precious photos and videos for us. I want to try SUP back home; I can't wait to experience it again soon!

あいにくの雨でサンセットを見ることができなかったのですが、マングローブを探検するサップもとても楽しめる体験でした。
ハネムーンできたのですがガイドさんに気を利かせていただき、貴重な写真や動画を撮ってもらうこともできました。
地元でもサップをやりたいくらい、またすぐにでも体験してみたいです！

The only disappointment was that it was cloudy, but the sun came out at the end; the weather can't be helped.
It was my first time paddleboarding, and I was a bit anxious, but they provided a thorough explanation of how to paddle and stand, so I was able to keep up without falling in.
It was fun to pass through the mangroves, even while struggling a bit.
Thank you, Tomo!

曇りだったのだけが残念、最後に太陽が出てきたけど、天気はしかたないですね。
SUPは初めてでちょっと不安でしたが、漕ぎ方立ち方の説明もきちんとしてくださったので、落水せず最後までついていけました。
つっかえながらでもマングローブの下を通り抜けられて楽しかったです。
トモさんありがとうございました。

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time, and I was truly moved. We also got to see many coconut crabs and other creatures, which had my son very excited! While it's not guaranteed that you'll encounter coconut crabs, the guides worked hard to find them, and we were lucky to meet a few. 😂

During the approximately 30-minute bus ride, we talked a lot and laughed a lot. It was about a 2-hour tour, but it was so much fun that I still find myself laughing when I think back on it! I hope I can come again. 🙌

こんなにキレイな星空初めて見てとにかく感動しました。ヤシガニも他の生き物もたくさん見れて息子も大興奮でした！
ヤシガニには絶対遭遇できるわけではないですが、ガイドの皆さん必死に探してくれて、数匹に出会えてよかったです😂
片道約30分間のバスの中でもたくさんお話してもらってたくさん笑って、約2時間のツアーでしたが、思い出し笑いしてしまうくらいずっと楽しかったです！また来れたらいいな🙌

I was able to see many unique creatures that can only be found in Ishigaki Island! The photo is of a habu snake. They provided us with rubber boots and insect repellent, so I could participate without any worries. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and I was extremely satisfied!

石垣島ならではの生き物がたくさん見れました！写真はハブです、長靴や虫除けもくばっていただいて不安なく参加できました。星空もとってもきれいで大満足です！

I participated with my 6-year-old and 9-year-old, and we got to see two coconut crabs and a purple land hermit crab! It was raining during the day, so I was worried about whether we would be able to see the starry sky, but it was beautiful. The coconut crabs were smaller than the ones I saw in Miyako Island, but their colors were very pretty. I wish we could have heard a bit more about the constellations and stars, but the guide was kind and we had a great time. Thank you!

６歳と９歳の子連れで参加して、ヤシガニ２匹とムラサキオカヤドカリに会えました！昼間は雨が降っていたので星空が見られるか心配でしたが、とても綺麗に見えました。ヤシガニは宮古島でみたものより小さかったですが、色がとてもきれいでした。星空については星座や星の説明がもう少し聞けたらよかったですが、ガイドさんは親切で楽しめました。ありがとうございました！

The canoeing at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at Osaki were the best. I had booked SUP at Kabira Bay and a trip to the Phantom Island, but due to strong winds, the boat couldn't go out, so they offered an alternative. It turned out to be a great decision to go with their suggestion.

Both the Kabira Bay canoeing and Osaki snorkeling included GoPro filming, so I didn't have to worry about losing my own camera or smartphone. The conversations during the car ride about Ishigaki Island and recommended dining spots were also enjoyable and helpful for the trip.

最高の川平湾カヌーと大崎シュノーケリングでした。川平湾SUPと幻の島で予約していましたが、風が強くて船が出せず、代替提案。良い機会なので提案に乗ってみたところ、大正解でした。
川平湾カヌーも大崎シュノーケリングもGoProで撮影してくれるので、自分のカメラやスマホを紛失する心配もありませんでした。
石垣島についての説明やおすすめの食事処など、移動車中の会話も楽しく旅の助けとなりました

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

An exhilarating jungle adventure!
It was a very satisfying tour where I could observe giant coconut crabs and various creatures in the jungle!
I would love to participate again when I come back to Ishigaki Island.

大迫力のジャングル探検！
巨大なヤシガニやジャングルの中の様々な生き物を観察することができとても満足なツアーでした！
また石垣島に来たら参加したいです。

The weather was bad, and we could hardly see any stars. Despite that, the staff worked hard to explain everything to us. Thank you very much.

天候が悪く、ほとんど星が見れませんでした。そんな中でも、スタッフさんが一生懸命説明していただきました。ありがとうございました。

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

At the end of March 2023, I participated with my son and nephew. I was thrilled to see two long-awaited coconut crabs, which was one of the children's goals for this trip! We also spotted small scorpions, hermit crabs, and gobies.

The starry sky was cloudy when we were by the sea, but my nephew said it looked beautiful from the car window on the way back ^^ (I couldn't see much from my seat).

Our guide, Akari, was cheerful and fun to talk to. She provided detailed information about the creatures and plants, and also shared recommendations for restaurants while we were in the car, which made the experience very enjoyable. I was happy to receive photos as well, allowing me to look back and remember those moments.

In our daily lives, we are overwhelmed by too much information that comes to our eyes and ears, which can be exhausting and numbing. Experiencing nature like this, focusing our senses to search for creatures, feeling the wind, and touching various things allowed me to reset my five senses and enjoy a sharpened awareness! The sensations from that time still linger in my heart. I want to go again. Thank you!

25年3月末に息子と甥と3人で参加しました。
今回の旅の子供たちの目的でもある、念願のヤシガニが2匹も見られて感動しました！他にも小さいサソリや、ヤドカリ、ハゼも見られましたよ。
星空は、海辺にいるときは曇って見えなかったけど、甥は帰りの車の窓からとても綺麗に見えたそうです^^(私の座席側はあんまり見えなかった)

ガイドのアカリさんは明るくて、お話も楽しく、また生き物や植物のことも詳しく教えていただいたり、車の中ではおすすめの飲食店の情報もいただいたりしてとても楽しませていただきました。写真も送っていただけて、こうして見返して思い出せるのが嬉しいです。

普段の生活では、目や耳に勝手に入ってくる情報が多すぎて疲れ、それに麻痺していますよね。こんな風に大自然の中で目と耳を澄まして生き物を探したり、風を感じたり、いろいろな物に触ってみたり、という体験で、五感をリセットできて、研ぎ澄まされる感覚を味わえました！今でもその時の感覚がすごく心に残っています。
また、行きたいです。ありがとうございました！

It was a fantastic tour! I learned a lot about the jungle and the starry sky; it was very informative. The guide spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly, so I felt comfortable throughout the experience. We were able to see a sky full of stars just like the one shown in the pictures I uploaded.

とても素晴らしいツアーでした！ガイドさんは英語がとても上手で、説明もわかりやすく安心して参加できました。
星が綺麗に見え、空も澄んでいてとても良かったです。

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

I felt the fresh air of the mangrove forest and the energy of this unique place. Thank you for providing a valuable experience that cannot be enjoyed in the city. The instructors were all kind and attentive, so I highly recommend it.

マングローブの森の新鮮な空気と独特な場所が持つエネルギーを感じました。
都会では味わえない貴重な体験をさせて頂きありがとうございます。
インストラクターの人も親切で丁寧な人ばかりなのでオススメです。

I think it's content that beginners can fully enjoy!
It was my first time trying SUP, and I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, which was amazing!
I also enjoyed snorkeling without any difficulty, and the sea was very beautiful; I even got to see a sea turtle.

I was a bit worried because the life jacket I wore had two out of three buckles broken.
I also thought it would be great if I could provide more details about my height, weight, desired size, and swimming ability when making a reservation in advance.

The staff were very friendly, and it was a tour that made me want to do it again if I have the chance!

初心者でも充分楽しめる内容だと思います！
SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした！
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。

私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。

スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした！
