All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

We participated in Hina's tour as a family. There were small children with us, but we were taught very carefully. Everyone in the family was very satisfied. We would like to participate again.

ひなさんのツアーに家族で参加しました。
小さい子どももいましたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらいました。家族全員大満足でした。また参加したいです。

Finally got to try SUP at Kawahira Bay. The wind blowing down from the mountains was strong, making it difficult to maintain balance, but I was able to glide smoothly over the water. Even if I fell into the sea, I felt safe wearing a life jacket. The instructor was very attentive, so even beginners can give it a try!

念願の川平湾でのSUP。
山から吹き下ろす風が強く、バランスを取るのが大変でしたが、気持ち良く海の上を進むことができました。海に落ちてしまっても、ライフジャケットを着ているので安心です。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者の方でもチャレンジできます！

※写真はSUPを実施する場所とは異なる川平湾の風景です。

Although I couldn't meet the coconut crab and the sky was cloudy, it was great to see the sea snake since it was low tide. I would like to try again if I have the chance. The guide shared various charms of Ishigaki Island on the way back, which was very informative. Thank you very much.

ヤシガニに会えず、曇り空のために満点の星空ではなかったですが、干潮だったためウミヘビを見ることが出来たのは良かったです。また機会があれば再挑戦したいです。ガイドさんには帰り道にいろいろ石垣島の魅力を話してもらい勉強になりました。有り難うございました。

I was able to fully enjoy sunrise SUP while watching sea creatures like coral reefs, sea turtles, and sea snakes.

I appreciated that transportation was provided from the hotel to the location and back after the experience, which made it comfortable without the burden of moving around.

The guide was very kind and not only carefully taught us the basics of paddling but also provided detailed explanations about the creatures in the sea. It was a wonderful experience that allowed me to enjoy it with peace of mind, even as a first-timer, and it was such a fulfilling time that I definitely want to participate again.

サンゴ礁やウミガメ、海ヘビなどの海の生き物を眺めながら、サンライズサップを満喫することができました。

ホテルから現地まで、そして体験後のホテルへの送迎もしていただけたので、移動の負担もなく快適に過ごせたのがありがたかったです。

ガイドさんもとても親切で、サップの基本的な漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくださるだけでなく、海にいる生き物についても詳しく説明してくれました。初めてでも安心して楽しめる素晴らしい体験で、またぜひ参加したいと思える充実した時間でした。

The snorkeling guides were Makocchan and Soutakun! Both were cheerful and friendly, and their explanations were easy to understand, making it enjoyable and reassuring even for first-timers.

The snorkeling location changed due to sea conditions, but it turned out to be a great decision! I was thrilled to swim with sea turtles, which was a dream come true 🐢✨✨ I got so excited that I almost drowned... haha.

And for my first time on a SUP, we went into the mangroves. The quiet and surreal scenery was breathtaking... it was incredibly healing!! ✨✨

I did fall off the SUP a few times, but that just added to the fun, and I made some amazing memories. ☺️

Thank you so much, Makocchan and Soutakun! I definitely want to go again! When I do, I hope to have you as my guides again! 🤘

シュノーケリングのガイドはまこっちゃんSUPはそうたくん！
どちらも明るくて気さくで説明もわかりやすく、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。

海の状況でシュノーケリングの場所は変更になりましたがそれが大当たり！！
念願の海亀と一緒に泳げて感動🐢✨✨
興奮しすぎてあわや溺れるかと…笑

そして初めてのSUPはマングローブの中へ。
静かで幻想的な景色が広がって…
めっちゃ癒されたーーーッ！！✨✨

しっかりSUPから落ち、掴みは👍
それも含めて楽しくて最高の思い出ができました。☺️

まこっちゃん、そうたくん
本当にありがとうございました😊
また絶対行きたいです！
その時はまたガイドよろしくーー🤘

The tour included snorkeling at the Phantom Island and a mangrove canoe experience, but due to the tides, we had to change the schedule to visit the Phantom Island in the morning and do the canoeing in the evening. As a result, we ended up with a sunset canoe experience, which was fantastic!

1. Phantom Island
Since it's not usually visible, I recommend checking the tide chart before making a reservation. It's incredibly beautiful and definitely a place you should visit! It might even be my favorite spot on Ishigaki Island!?

Additionally, the guide was very kind and responsive to our requests, providing us with many wonderful photos, which made us very satisfied.

2. Canoe
Considering sunburn, I recommend the sunset option! We smoothly paddled through the mangroves while listening to the sounds of birds, experiencing the jungle. The guide took many natural-looking photos, which again left us very satisfied. On our way back, they kindly recommended a great place to eat.

幻の島　シュノーケリングツアーとマングローブカヌー体験でしたが、潮の関係で続けてではなく、朝から幻の島、夕方からカヌーに変更になりました。
結果、サンセットカヌーになり最高でした！
①幻の島
普段は見られないため、潮見表で確認後予約をお勧めします。
とても綺麗で、絶対に行くべき場所！
石垣島で1番好きな場所かも!?
また、ガイドさんがとーっても親切でリクエストに応えて下さり、素敵な写真を沢山頂き、大満足でした。

②カヌー
日焼けを考えるとサンセットがお勧め！
マングローブのなかをカヌーでスイスイ漕いで鳥の鳴き声をききながらジャングル体験をできました。
ガイドさんがとっても自然な写真を沢山撮って頂き、これまた大満足。
帰りにはお勧めの食事屋さんも親切に教えていただきました。

They taught me how to ride carefully, and I was able to ride easily even as a beginner. I was moved by the beauty of the ocean, the stunning scenery, and the pleasant breeze! I'm so glad I did it!!

Unfortunately, due to bad weather, I couldn't go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but they were very accommodating. I want to try again!

乗り方から丁寧に教えてくださり、初めてでも簡単に乗ることができました。
海の美しさや綺麗な景色、心地よい風、全てに感動しました！やってよかったです！！

残念ながら天候不良で、青の洞窟のシュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、丁寧に対応していただきました。リベンジしたいです！

I realized the importance of rowing in sync rather than selfishly. At first, I thought it wasn't fun when I was rowing alone and kept bumping into branches or colliding with others. But when I rowed together properly, we gained speed and stability, and it became really enjoyable.
From a 6th-grade boy.

自分勝手にこぐのではなく、いきを合わしてこぐ、大切さが分かりました。最初、一人でこいで木の枝にぶつかったり、他とあたったりと楽しくないと思いました。でもしっかりいっしよにこいだらスピードがでたり、安定したりとても楽しいと思いました。

"One-day experience of the Mangrove SUP or Canoe Tour with optional landing on the Phantom Island and snorkeling!" Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't go canoeing and had to shorten it to half a day. The weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, so it couldn't be helped.

We set off in the rain in the morning. By the time we arrived at the Phantom Island, the rain had stopped, and it was beautiful! After that, we moved on to snorkeling. It was incredibly beautiful, and I was very satisfied.

Thank you, Hayabusa-kun!

『マングローブSUPorカヌーツアー 選べる幻の島上陸＆シュノーケリング付きも！』の１日体験の予定が、天気の都合でカヌーには乗れず半日に。石垣島の天気は変わりやすいのでこれはやむなし。
午前中雨の中出発。幻の島に到着する頃には雨もやみ、きれいでしたよー。
そこから移動してシュノーケリング。すんごくきれいで大満足。
隼くんありがとう〜

I'm so glad I went! The weather was great, which contributed to the perfect conditions, but the starry sky was the best I've ever seen in my life, with countless stars against the pitch-black sky. I saw more stars than in a planetarium.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any coconut crabs during the exploration, but it was a unique and fun experience that we couldn't have done alone, as the night jungle would have been too scary to navigate by ourselves. Thank you for the tour!

行って大正解でした！天気が良くて最高の条件だった事もあるけど、真っ暗な空に満天の星で、長年生きてきた中で1番の星空でした。
プラネタリウムよりも多い星を見ました

探検では残念ながらヤシガニは見れませんでしたが、自分たちだけでは夜の茂みは怖くてまわれないしとても貴重で楽しかったです。
ツアーありがとうございました！

The day before, I received notice that due to weather conditions, the SUP at Kawahira Bay would be changed to mangrove SUP at Miyara River. On the day of the activity, it was slightly cloudy, but it was a warm day for late February. On the bus heading to Miyara River, the guide shared some fun stories about Ishigaki Island.

Upon arriving at Miyara River, we listened to explanations about SUP and canoeing before heading out onto the water. Paddling through the mangrove river on the SUP was a delightful experience with beautiful scenery. As it was my first time on a SUP, I fell off a few times, but the others managed to stay on without falling. It was nice that the water wasn't too cold even after falling in. It really is Ishigaki Island, even in February.

After the SUP, we disbanded at the remote island terminal for lunch before heading to the Phantom Island. We took a boat, and by that time, the sun started to peek through, making the sea look beautiful. Upon arriving at Phantom Island, we explored the island for a while. The sea was blue, and the island had beautiful white coral sand, which was wonderful.

After that, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling, putting on life jackets and wetsuits before entering the water. Wearing the wetsuit made the water feel not too cold. Following the guide, we swam in the coral sea. The water was incredibly clear, and I could see colorful fish swimming beneath the surface. It was an experience that is hard to come by, and I’m glad I participated.

If I have the chance to come back to Ishigaki Island, I would like to try the SUP at Kawahira Bay that I missed this time. It was a fantastic tour. Thank you very much!

前日に天候の影響で川平湾SUPから宮良川でのマングローブSUPになる連絡がありました。
当日はやや曇天でしたが、2月下旬でも暖かい日でした。
宮良川に向かうバスの中ではガイドさんから石垣島についての楽しい話をしていただきました。
宮良川に到着しSUPやカヌーについての説明を聞き、川に乗り出しました。
SUPを漕いでマングローブの川を進むのは景色もよく気持ちよかったです。
初めてのSUPで私は何度か落ちてしまいましたが、ほかの方達は落ちることなく上手に乗っていました。
水に落ちてもそんなに寒くなくてよかったです。2月なのにさすが石垣島です。
SUPの後は、離島ターミナルで一度解散して昼食をとり、幻の島へ向かいました。
船で向かいましたが、その頃から晴れ間も見えて海がきれいでした。
幻の島に到着し、しばらく島を散策しました。
海は青く、きれいな白いサンゴ砂の島で素晴らしかったです。
その後シュノーケリングのために場所を移動して、ライフジャケット＋ウェットスーツで海に入りました。
ウェットスーツを着ると、水の中もそこまで寒くなかったです。
ガイドさんに付いてサンゴの海を泳ぎました。海はとても綺麗で、海中には綺麗な色の魚が泳いでいるのが見えました。
なかなかできない体験でした。参加してよかったです。
また石垣島に来ることがあれば、今回できなかった川平湾のSUPもしてみたいです。
素晴らしいツアーでした。どうもありがとうございました。

At first, I was really scared, but they taught me kindly, and I was able to learn quickly! I was happy to be able to paddle for about 1 kilometer without falling! The scenery in Okinawa was beautiful and amazing!

最初はすごく怖かったですが、優しく教えてくださりすぐに習得できました！
1キロほど落ちずに漕げて嬉しかったです！
沖縄の景色も綺麗で最高でした！

I was able to see many fish up close, just like those in an aquarium! I also got to take a lot of photos and videos! Hina was very kind!

水族館の水槽の中にいるようなお魚さんを間近でたくさん見れました！写真や動画もたくさん撮ってもらえました！
ひなさん優しかった！

Wherever you go, the views are breathtaking, and the instructors provide a lot of information, making it really enjoyable! So, I don't feel too tired!

The only mistake I made was getting wetter than I expected, so a change of clothes is a must!!

With determination and spirit, anyone can do it!

どこに行っても絶景で、講師の方が色々な情報を教えてくれるのですごく楽しいです！なので疲れを感じる事はあまり無いです！

失敗した事と言えば思った以上に濡れるので着替え必須です！！

気合と根性があれば誰でもできます！

Unfortunately, the snorkeling was moved to a different spot due to high waves, but I was able to encounter sea turtles✨. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I had some anxiety, but I was glad to go to places I definitely couldn't have reached on my own! It was reassuring that I could grab onto the float that the guide was holding when I got tired!

In the second half, I enjoyed a mangrove canoe tour✨. I got to see the mangroves up close, and at times, we even went through the gaps, which provided a different kind of fun compared to the ocean!

Throughout the day, the guide took a lot of photos and videos, so I was happy to be able to create many memories without having to bring my smartphone✨. Also, I appreciated the included transportation service✨.

シュノーケリングは残念ながら高波の影響で別のスポットになりましたが、ウミガメに出会うことができました✨
初めてのシュノーケリングだったので不安もありましたが、1人では絶対に行けないような場所まで行けてよかったです！疲れたらガイドさんが持ってくれている浮き輪に捕まることもできたので安心でした！

後半はマングローブカヌーを楽しみました✨
マングローブを間近で見て、時には間をくぐったりして、海とは違う楽しみ方ができました！

1日を通して、ガイドの方が写真や動画をたくさん撮ってくれるので、スマホを持ち込まなくても思い出をたくさん残せてよかったです✨
また、送迎付きなのもありがたかったです✨

I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to see beautiful coral! Also, I miraculously got to see a sea turtle.

The guide also takes videos and photos for you, so you can be satisfied even if you don't bring your own camera!

青の洞窟へは行けませんでしたが、
綺麗なサンゴを見ることはできました！
また、ウミガメも奇跡的に見ることはできました。

カメラもガイドさんがちゃんと動画や写真を撮ってくれるので持ってこなくても満足できます！

I was taught very carefully about how to paddle on a SUP, and my skills improved significantly. I moved around a lot and learned some unique paddling techniques, making it a very fulfilling experience. The scenery was beautiful, so I enjoyed both the SUP itself and the surrounding views.

The instructor was very kind, and I was extremely satisfied with the two-hour experience! I also appreciate the pick-up service!

SUPの漕ぎ方についてもとても丁寧に教えていただき、SUPの技術力も上がりました。沢山移動し、少し特殊な漕ぎ方なども教えてもらい、とても充実した体験でした。
景色はもちろん綺麗なので、SUP自体も周りの景色もどちらも楽しめました。

指導員の方もとても優しく、大変満足な2時間ほどの体験でした！
お迎えもしていただき感謝です！

There are age restrictions for canoeing. From the pickup to the explanations and the transfer to the location, everything was smooth. The canoe is wide enough for two people, and since the water is shallow, there was no fear involved. Even though we are over sixty, the paddles were light, making it very easy to row. We were able to stay relaxed throughout the experience.

I believe children would really enjoy the experience of going under the trees and seeing the caves, especially with the various explanations provided by the guide. Additionally, they took a lot of photos for us, and we received the data as well!

If you come prepared with a swimsuit and a long-sleeve rash guard, you'll be all set! On sunny days, it can get quite hot, so a hat might be a good idea. However, be sure to secure it to your clothing to prevent it from falling off accidentally.

You can leave your valuables locked in the car, so it’s fine to bring your phone in a waterproof cover. The guide takes plenty of photos, so you don’t necessarily need to bring your phone.

年齢制限もありカヌー利用。
お迎えから説明、現地移動の何から何までスムーズ、カヌーは2人乗りのため幅が広く、また水深が浅いこともあり怖さもなかったです。
還暦過ぎの私達でしたがパドル(オール)が軽く漕ぐのも非常に楽でした。終始リラックスした状態でいられます。
ガイドさんに様々な説明付きで木々の下をくぐり洞窟を見るなどの体験はお子さんもとても楽しめると思います。
また写真もたくさん撮っていただけてデータもいただけます！
水着&長袖ガードラッシュで臨めばバッチリです！
晴れの日は相当な日照りでしたので帽子はあった方がいいかもです。ただ、服と繋げておくなどうっかり落ちないような工夫が必要。
貴重品類は車の中に置いておける(施錠)ので防水カバーに入れた携帯持っていくくらいでした。
ガイドさんがたくさん撮影してくださるので携帯は無くてもいいです。

In the morning, I participated in a mangrove kayaking activity, and in the afternoon, I went snorkeling in the Blue Cave.

We gathered around 9 AM, and I felt reassured as they picked us up from the hotel to start the day. The weather was clear and warm, and both activities offered stunning views! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, just as the tour promised.

The guides took a lot of photos with a GoPro throughout the tour, and I was grateful that they shared them with us on the same day, despite their busy schedule. It had been a while since I participated in such activities, but everyone was cheerful and lively, which made it enjoyable.

Personally, I was happy that lunch was flexible and we had plenty of time, allowing us to enjoy some gourmet food on the same day. It turned out to be a very satisfying day!

午前にマングローブ(カヤック)、午後に青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました

朝9時台の集合でしたが、ホテルまでピックアップに来ていただいて安心のスタート
当日は快晴で気温も高く、どちらのアクティビティも最高の景色を見れました！
シュノーケリングではツアー名のとおりウミガメにも遭遇できて、とてもラッキーでした

ガイドの方々は、ツアー中GoProでたくさん写真を取ってくださり、お忙しいのに当日にすぐシェアしていただけてありがたかったです
こういったアクティビティ参加は久々でしたが、みなさんハキハキとした明るい方で、楽しむことができました

個人的には、ランチが自由で時間に余裕もあったので、同日にグルメも楽しめて嬉しかったです。大満足の1日になりました！

It was pouring rain, but I'm glad we were able to do it. It was so much fun! In the car, I received a lot of helpful information about sightseeing recommendations and various things. ✨

どしゃぶりの雨の中でしたが、できてよかったです。そしてとっても楽しかったです！
車の中では観光のおすすめなどいろんなことを教えてもらってすごく助かりました✨

The weather forecast the day before predicted light rain, so I thought, "Well, it should be fine!" and was feeling relaxed. However, just before the experience started, it began to pour! I was feeling a bit down thinking, "SUP in this weather...," but thanks to our guide Genki's positive encouragement, saying, "Actually, it's a lucky experience that you can't have often," I thought, "That's true!" and ended up enjoying SUP. The mangroves and the heavy rain created an even more extraordinary atmosphere, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

前日の天気予報では小雨ぐらいだったので、「まぁ、大丈夫だろ〜」と呑気に考えていたら体験開始直前に大雨に！！
「こんな中でSUP…」とテンションが若干下がっていたのですが、ガイドのゲンキさんの「逆になかなか出来ない体験だからラッキー」という前向きな励ましのおかげで「たしかに…！」にと楽しんでSUPを楽しむことができました✨マングローブ&大雨で、より非日常の世界感でとても良い思い出になりました！

This time, I participated in the Sunrise SUP Tour. It was my first experience with SUP, and I was worried about whether I could stand up before joining. However, they taught me how to stand and paddle in a very careful manner, and in the end, I was able to enjoy SUP while taking in the surrounding scenery✨

The meeting time was early, but they provided transportation to the hotel, which was very helpful.

Thank you for this valuable experience!

今回はサンライズSUPツアーに参加させていただきました。
初めてのSUP体験で、参加前までは立てるか不安でしたが、立ち方や漕ぎ方など丁寧に教えていただき、最終的には周りの景色を楽しみながらSUPができるまでになりました✨

早い時間の集合でしたが、ホテルまで送迎してくださり、非常に助かりました。

貴重な体験をさせていただき、ありがとうございました！

It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and I felt safe and enjoyed it thanks to the thorough instruction. They took many photos, creating great memories. During the transportation, they shared information about the history of SUP and the sport itself, which made me want to try it even more. I definitely want to request their services again when I come back to Ishigaki Island.

初めてのサップでしたが丁寧に教えていただき安心して楽しめました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき良い思い出です。
送迎中もSUPの歴史や競技などを教えていただきもっとやってみたいと思いました。
次に石垣島に来るときにもぜひまたお願いしたいと思います。

An extraordinary night experience. The scale of the starry sky was simply amazing, and I was also moved by the creatures I discovered deep in the jungle. The flow was well-organized, which made me feel at ease.

非日常すぎるナイト体験　星空のスケール感がとにかくすごく、ジャングルの奥で見つけた生き物にも感動しました。流れが整っていて安心でした。

It was a bit cloudy, but the blue of the water was even more beautiful than I imagined! The guide provided calm instructions, which made me feel safe while swimming. The photos turned out great, and I was really excited!

少し曇っていたけど、水中の青さが想像以上にきれいだった！　ガイドさんが落ち着いた声で案内してくれて、安心して泳げた。写真もバッチリでテンション上がった！

I felt a close connection to nature, experiencing the presence of living creatures up close while also enjoying the vastness of the starry sky. The smooth progression of the experience was impressive.

自然との距離が近いと感じた　生き物の存在を間近に感じ、星空の広がりも同時に楽しめました。無理のない進行が印象的でした。

I was moved by the mystical scenery of the Blue Cave! The guide provided detailed support, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The snorkeling experience was also very satisfying!

青の洞窟の神秘的な光景に感動しました！ガイドさんが細かくサポートしてくれたので、安心して楽しめました。シュノーケリングも大満足の体験でした！

There was a moment when time seemed to stand still. The tranquility of looking up at the starry sky was striking, and I felt the depth of the jungle even more. The calm support was reassuring.

時間が止まったように感じた瞬間があった　星空を見上げたときの静けさが印象的で、ジャングルの奥行きも深く感じました。落ち着いたサポートが心強かったです。

I was surprised by the clarity beyond my imagination! The blue glow I saw underwater was truly beautiful. The guide said, "It's shining the most beautifully right now!" and I was able to take pictures at the best timing!

想像以上の透明度でびっくり！　水中で見る青の輝きが本当に美しかった。ガイドさんが「今が一番きれいに光ってます！」って声をかけてくれて、ベストタイミングで撮影できた！

I wanted to do some activities after arriving in Ishigaki Island, so I made a reservation a few hours before starting. It was a last-minute booking, and I was the only participant, but the staff member, Sugichan, taught me various things like how to ride and information about nature! I was able to relax and enjoy stand-up paddleboarding while listening to the sounds of nature. Thank you very much!

石垣島に到着してから何かアクティビティをしたいと思って開始の数時間前に予約。
急な予約で私一人の参加でしたが、スタッフの杉ちゃんが乗り方や自然の情報など色々教えてくれました！
自然の音を聞きながらのんびりSUPが出来て癒されました。ありがとうございました！
