All Reviews for 槳板衝浪（SUP）

I received a confirmation call the day before participating, where they kindly provided information about the hotel pick-up time and what to bring. On the morning of the event, a car came to pick me up from the hotel, and we chatted while moving to the experience location. It was easy to talk, and the transfer was enjoyable!

I had done SUP once before, but it had been a while, so I was a bit worried. Before starting the SUP at Kabira Bay, there was a lecture on how to paddle and stand, and during the experience, they provided a lot of encouragement, which made it easy to enjoy!

After the SUP experience, we moved to the terminal. During the transfer, they introduced several recommended shops, which was helpful for my travel plans. ✨

For snorkeling, we went to the Blue Cave and snorkeled in the nearby sea. Before starting, they carefully taught us how to put on the goggles. It was incredibly beautiful, and there were various kinds of fish, which was fun!

However, the people snorkeling with us were foreigners who didn't listen much and were quite free-spirited, which seemed to make things difficult for the staff, and it left me feeling a bit disappointed.

During both experiences, they took many photos and sent them to us, which became great memories. 😊 Although I felt a bit disappointed due to the company I was with, overall, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad I participated.

参加する前日に確認の電話があり、ホテル送迎の時間や持ち物など丁寧にご案内していただきました。
当日の朝ホテルに車で迎えに来て頂いてお話しながら体験場所まで移動しました。話やすくて移動も楽しかったです！
SUP自体は１回した事ありますが、久しぶりで少し心配していました。
川平湾SUP始める前に漕ぎ方、立ち方などレクチャーがあり、体験中も声を沢山かけて頂き安心して楽しく体験できました！
SUP体験後はターミナルへ移動。移動時間はおすすめのお店を何件か紹介して頂き、旅行プランの参考になりました✨
シュノーケルは青の洞窟行ってその近くの海でシュノーケルでした。
シュノーケル始める前にゴーグル付け方など丁寧に教えてくださいました。
すごく綺麗で色んな種類の魚がいて楽しかったです！
ただ一緒にシュノーケルする方が外国人の方で話聞かなかったり自由な方々でスタッフさん大変そうでしたし、こちらも少し残念な気持ちになりました。

どちらの体験の時にたくさん写真撮っていただき送ってくださいました😊良い思い出になりました✨
一緒に回る方によって少し残念な思いをしましたがそれ以外はとっても楽しく参加して良かったと思える良いツアーでした。

I participated in snorkeling near the phantom island (Hamajima) and was very satisfied with the high clarity of the water! It was nostalgic to see staff members who had helped me during another activity last year. I would love to participate again.

幻の島（浜島）と近くでのシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、海の透明度が高く大変満足でした！
スタッフさんも昨年別のアクティビティでお世話になった方がいらっしゃったので懐かしかったです。
また参加したいです。

I was nervous on my first stand-up paddleboarding experience, but I was taught patiently and enjoyed it until the end. After the experience, I ate at the burger place that was recommended, and it was very delicious. Overall, I had a great day.

初めてのsupで緊張しましたが、丁寧に教えていただき、最後まで楽しめました。
体験後にお勧めしていただいたハンバーガー屋さんでご飯を食べましたが、非常に美味しく、総じて良い1日を過ごすことができました。

I crossed through the mangroves by canoe, and even in my late 50s, I was able to enjoy it without any difficulty. Although it was cloudy and I couldn't see the sunset, I was able to experience nature up close to the water's surface among the mangroves.

マングローブの中をカヌーで渡り、50代後半でも無理なく楽しめました。
曇りでサンセットは叶いませんでしたが、マングローブを水面近くに見て自然を体験できました。

It was the morning of our departure day, but we were able to get a ride to the hotel. Since it was early, it wasn't too hot and I didn't have to worry much about sunburn. After returning to the hotel, I was able to take a bath and do laundry in the coin laundry while having breakfast, making good use of the time until check-out.

The seats in the shuttle were covered with vinyl sheets, so it was no problem to sit down wet. As long as I had drinks and a towel, it felt easy to participate.

Our guide, Hina, introduced us to various delicious recommended places during the ride, but since it was our departure day... I wish I could have gone if I had a few more days to stay. But now I have something to look forward to for my next visit to Ishigaki Island! I was able to drink the shake she recommended at the airport on the way back.

During the ride, I was able to hear a lot of stories, so it wasn't boring, and canoeing was fun. Canoeing in the morning felt refreshing and cleansing for the soul. The distance we paddled felt short, but even when there was a bit of waiting time for other groups to take photos, they encouraged us by saying we could go a little further and come back, so the waiting time wasn't boring. This was my first canoeing experience, and it seemed like my husband enjoyed this tour so much that he said he wanted to try a longer distance next time. I think I want to challenge myself with a longer lunch tour next time! Thank you very much!

帰る日の朝でしたが、ホテルまで送迎もしていただけ、朝早いので、暑くもなく日焼けの心配もほぼなく、ホテルに帰ってからも、お風呂に入って、朝食を食べてる間にコインランドリーで濡れた服も洗濯乾燥もできてチェックアウトまで時間を有効に使えました。
送迎車の座席は、ビニールシート敷いてくれてるので、ぬれたままでも問題なく、持ち物は、飲み物とタオルがあれば、気軽に参加できる感じでした。

ガイドのヒナさんが送迎中に、いろいろ美味しいオススメのお店とか紹介してくださったのですが、帰る日だったので…もう少し滞在日数があれば行ってみたかったです>⁠.⁠<
でも次回石垣島に来た時の楽しみができました〜(⁠^⁠^⁠)
おすすめしてもらったシェイクだけは帰りの空港で飲めました〜(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

送迎中も、いっぱいお話し聞けたので、退屈しないし、カヌーも楽しかったです。朝からのカヌーは、気持ちよく心が洗われる感じでした〜(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
漕ぐ距離的には短い気もしますが、他の組の写真撮影の時、少し待ち時間ができても、どこどこの辺りまで行って、戻ってきてもいいですよと、声もかけてもらえるので、少しの待ち時間も退屈なくすごせました。今回初めてのカヌー体験で、こちらのツアーが楽しかったみたいで、旦那は、もう少し長い距離もしてみたいと言ってました
次回は少し時間長めのお昼とかのツアーに挑戦してみたいと思います!!
ありがとうございました〜

It was my first SUP experience, and I was taught carefully from the beginning, making it a wonderful memory! The morning meeting time is early, but paddling while watching the sunrise is exceptional! I want to do it again!

初めのSUP体験でしたが、一から丁寧に教えていただきとっても素敵な思い出になりました！朝の集合時間は早いですが、日の出を見ながらのsupは別格です！またやりたいです！

It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and the guide's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand, which made me feel safe and enjoy it! I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea, experiencing something out of the ordinary. It was a highly satisfying activity. It became a wonderful memory! I definitely recommend it to beginners as well.

初めてのSUP体験でしたが
ガイドさんの説明がとても丁寧でわかりやすく
安心して楽しむことができました！
最初はちょっと緊張していたものの
すぐに慣れて、めちゃくちゃ綺麗な海で
非日常をたっぷり味わえて
大満足のアクティビティでした。
とても素敵な思い出になりました！
初心者の方にもぜひおすすめしたいです。

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♪

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。

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 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〜！

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。

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 received a phone call the day before participating in the SUP at Kabira Bay regarding the meeting time and other details. I asked a few questions during that call, and they answered them politely, which made me feel at ease for the day of the experience.

On the day of the activity, it was quite windy, and I was told that the difficulty level of the SUP was high, but thanks to the thorough pre-lecture and the cheerful encouragement from the staff, I was able to enjoy the activity!

Additionally, during the shuttle bus ride, they shared information about Ishigaki Island, making it feel like I was on a sightseeing bus, and I was able to spend the travel time meaningfully.

I would like to participate in another tour organized by this company next time.

川平湾SUPに参加するにあたり、前日に集合時間等のお電話をいただきました。その際に何点か質問したのですが、丁寧に答えていただいたため、安心して体験の日を迎えることができました。
当日は、風が強く、SUPの難易度が高いとのことでしたが、事前の丁寧なレクチャーやスタッフの方の明るい声がけで、アクティビティを楽しむことができました！
また送迎バス内では石垣島についてお話ししてくださり、観光バスに乗っているような気分で、移動の時間も有意義な時間を過ごすことができました！
次回もこちらの会社が催行するツアーに参加したいと思います。

We enjoyed a day of snorkeling at the northern reef of Taketomi Island, landing on the Phantom Island, then returning to Ishigaki Island for a free shower and a break. After lunch, we did SUP at Kabira Bay.

Everywhere had beautiful emerald green waters with high transparency, truly embodying the essence of a southern island! The snorkeling was especially great! I thought I would like to enjoy it for a longer time next time. The SUP at the quiet Kabira Bay was also refreshing. I think the guides were kind, making it a great tour.

竹富島北の岩礁でシュノーケリング→幻の島上陸→石垣島に戻って無料のシャワー・一旦解散→（お昼）→川平湾SUP、と1日楽しめました。

どこも透明度の高いエメラルドグリーンの美しい海で、これぞ南の島！と感じました。特にシュノーケリングが良かった！次はもっと長く楽しみたいと思いました。
静かな川平湾でのSUPにも心が洗われました。
ガイドの皆さんも親切で良いツアーだと思います。

Due to the weather, the tour was held at a different location than originally planned. It was my first time doing stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, but the instructions were very thorough, so I had a great time! It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Okinawa!

天候の関係で元のツアーとは別の場所で催行とのことでした。
supやシュノーケルは初めてでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださったので、とても楽しめました！
沖縄旅行のいい思い出になりました！

I was able to paddle through the mangrove river for the first time on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP)! The accommodation was near the island terminal, and they picked me up. On the way to the river, the guide shared stories about the weather in Ishigaki Island, the history of the town, and local agricultural products. I also learned about the mangroves during the nature guide session on the river. I fell off the board once while paddling, but I had a great time! I'm 59 years old, and since I will be subject to age restrictions next year, I'm glad I could do this this time.

マングローブの川を初めてのSUPで進むことが出来ました♪宿が離島ターミナルの近くで、お迎えに来てもらい、川までの道中はガイドさんから石垣島の天候や街の歴史、農産物の話を聞け、川ではマングローブ（ひるぎ）のネイチャーガイドも聞けました。SUPでは一度落ちましたが、とても楽しめました‼️私は59歳で来年は年齢制限にかかるので今回出来て良かったです。

This time, I participated in stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. The SUP in the clear waters of Kabira Bay was incredibly refreshing. The instructor was very attentive, making it enjoyable even for beginners!

Although the wind picked up at one point, the guide helped pull us along, so even those without much stamina can participate with peace of mind. The snorkeling was also fantastic; I was very satisfied to see beautiful coral reefs and fish! I was especially moved to see a clownfish up close; it was so cute!

Both activities allowed us to take many beautiful photos, so I was able to capture these memories. Thank you very much for this experience!

今回は川平湾のsupと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
川平湾の透き通った海でのsupはすごく気持ちよかったです。丁寧に教えてくださったので初心者でも楽しめました！
途中、風が強くなりましたが、ガイドの方が引っ張ってくれるので体力に自信がない人でも安心して参加できます。
シュノーケリングも綺麗なサンゴ礁やお魚たちを見れて大満足でした！カクレクマノミも近くで見ることができて可愛くて感動しまし
た！
どちらの活動でも綺麗な写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、思い出を写真に残すことができました。
この度はありがとうございました！

Due to strong winds, we had to change our plans and enjoyed canoeing in the mangroves of Miyara River! It felt amazing, so much so that we didn't even mind the rain! Of course, seeing the mangroves and having fun canoeing was great, but what made it even better was our guide, who kept the atmosphere lively and enjoyable throughout the trip. They also introduced us to some delicious places to eat, which was very helpful! Thank you very much. I hope to meet a Kijimunar someday!

強風でプラン変更となり、宮良川のマングローブでカヌーを楽しませてもらいました！
雨なんか気にならないくらいさいっこうに気持ち良かったです！！マングローブ見れたりカヌーが楽しかったのはもちろんですが、私たち含め3組いる中ガイドさんが道中含め楽しく盛り上げてくれたので楽しく過ごすことができました。美味しいお店なども紹介してくださり、とても助かりました…！
ありがとうございました。
いつかキジムナーに会えますように！

Due to the weather, the SUP at Kabira Bay was canceled, but I was glad to see the clear waters while snorkeling. We were picked up from Ishigaki Port and it took about 30 minutes to reach our destination. During the ride, they shared recommendations for restaurants and information about Ishigaki Island, which made me very satisfied.

天候の影響で川平湾でのSUPが中止になってしまいましたが、シュノーケリングで透明度の高い海を見れたのでよかったです。目的地までは石垣港から車で30分ほど送迎してもらい、送迎中もおすすめの飲食店だったり石垣島のことだったりを教えてもらえてとても満足させてもらえました。

In early February, during a cold wave where a down jacket was necessary on Ishigaki Island, I made a reservation for SUP and snorkeling here.

The day before, I received a call confirming that due to rough seas, the SUP at Kabira Bay would be changed to mangrove SUP, and the landing at the Blue Cave and Phantom Island would not be possible, so it would be changed to snorkeling at Sakura Beach. They also mentioned that the price would be adjusted later.

Therefore, I requested mangrove SUP in the morning and snorkeling at Sakura Beach in the afternoon!

The instructors for each activity were different, but both were friendly and cheerful, and I had a great time. They also sent photos and videos via LINE, which made for wonderful memories!

Additionally, the lunch spot they recommended was very delicious! I'm grateful for the suggestion!

During the tour, the water temperature was cold, and the wind was strong, so unfortunately, the feeling of "it's cold..." overshadowed the excitement.

Sakura Beach had high visibility, but it seems we hardly encountered any sea turtles, and there were fewer fish. While this can't be helped, I think it would be a good idea to switch to other activities during rough weather! However, I appreciated that the instructors were kind and considerate of our well-being despite the cold.

I've heard that the recommended time to visit Ishigaki Island is in May, so I would like to try again when it gets warmer next time!

Thank you very much for this experience!

2月上旬、石垣島もダウンジャケットが必要なくらい冷え込む寒波の中、こちらでsup&シュノーケルを予約しました。

前日にお電話いただき、大シケのため川平湾でのsupはマングローブsupに変更、青の洞窟・幻の島上陸はNGとなり、さくらビーチでのシュノーケルに変更になるが問題ないかと確認いただきました。(その分、お値段も後日変更になるようです)

そのため、午前はマングローブsup・午後はさくらビーチでのシュノーケルをお願いしました！

それぞれインストラクターさんは異なりますが、どちらの方もフレンドリーで明るく、楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
LINEで写真・動画も送ってくださり、いい思い出になりました！

また、おすすめしてもらったランチのお店も、とっても美味しかったです！教えてくださって感謝です！

ツアー中は水温も冷たく、風も強かったので感動よりも「寒い…」が勝ってしまったのが残念です。。泣

さくらビーチは透明度は高かったですが、ウミガメはほぼ会えないようで、お魚も少なめでした。。
こればかりは仕方ないですが、シケの時はシュノーケル以外のアクティビティに変更するのもアリだと思います！
ただ、インストラクターさんも寒い中、優しく体調を気遣ってくださったので有難かったです。

石垣島のおすすめの時期は5月らしいので、次回は暖かくなったら、またリトライしたいと思います！！

この度はありがとうございました！

This time, I went on a 2-night, 3-day trip to Ishigaki Island for the first time. On the second day, I signed up for the "Free for the Second Person! Limited Number Monitor / [1 Day] Kayaking or Canoeing at Kabira Bay + Snorkeling at the Blue Cave." The activity provider was "Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi." The weather was "clear," and my expectations were high.

However, on the day of the activity, the sea conditions were not as planned due to strong north winds, and we had to switch to an alternative plan. The alternative plan was "SUP at Miyara River + Snorkeling at Osaki Bay." I was a bit confused, but I couldn't go against the weather.

On the morning of the activity, I was picked up at my accommodation, "Grandvrio Resort Ishigaki Island." The bright and friendly smile of the instructor eased my slight anxiety, and my expectations grew even more.

In the shuttle, there were detailed explanations and fun quizzes, creating a cheerful atmosphere throughout the ride. The very friendly instructor made the experience even more enjoyable.

Before I knew it, we arrived at Miyara River, and my first SUP experience began. The SUP board was quite heavy and large. With the instructor's careful guidance, we set off to Miyara River, paddling against the current.

As far as the eye could see, mangroves spread out. I paddled diligently, balancing on the left and right.

At first, I was on my knees on the SUP, but once I got used to it, I was able to stand up. However, my legs felt like "those of a newborn lamb." They trembled, and I felt quite awkward (embarrassing).

Thanks to the instructor's explanations about the mangroves, I learned more about them. The Miyara River mangroves were very beautiful and majestic. I highly recommend experiencing them.

I was recommended to try Yaeyama soba at Hirara Shoten, but I couldn't walk to the shop with my trembling legs this time, so I definitely want to try it next time.

This time, I experienced SUP for the first time and ended up with muscle soreness. I am grateful to the instructors for supporting this valuable experience. The photos I received became a cherished memory. Thank you very much for your great care.

Now, in the afternoon, it was time for my first real snorkeling experience. I had a light lunch and waited for the pickup.

Just like in the morning, the instructor's bright and friendly smile in the afternoon made my expectations grow. The atmosphere in the shuttle was cheerful. The beautiful scenery outside the window combined with the instructor's explanations made it even more enjoyable.

Before I knew it, we arrived at Osaki Bay, and my first real snorkeling experience began. I put on a wetsuit and we set off into the sea.

Wow, it was cold.

But that feeling was short-lived; once I got into the water, I surprisingly got used to the temperature. With the instructors' careful guidance and explanations, we ventured into the sea.

Underwater, it was a clear world unlike anything I had experienced before. I could see all the way to the bottom.

There were many fish among the coral reefs. It was truly moving.

The instructors continued their careful guidance and explanations, being considerate of the inexperienced guests.

After a while, we encountered a sea turtle... it was an overwhelming experience. A sea turtle was swimming close by. I was deeply moved to realize such a world exists.

Oh, the instructor picked up a sea cucumber with his hands. I learned that sea cucumbers are the cleaners of the sea.

Meeting the sea turtle provided me with a cute and memorable experience. It was truly moving.

I am grateful to the instructors for supporting this valuable experience. The photos and videos I received became cherished memories. Thank you very much for your great care.

This trip to Ishigaki Island has become a wonderful memory. I plan to return to Ishigaki Island soon.

The instructors at "Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi" are the best. Thank you very much. I look forward to working

今回は、初めての２泊３日石垣島旅行。
その２日目に「【2人目無料!】人数限定モニター／【1日】川平湾SUP or カヌー＋青の洞窟シュノーケリング」を申し込みました。
アクティビティの催行会社様は、「石垣島 ADVENTURE PiPi」。
天気はというと「晴れ」。期待は膨らみます。

しかし、当日の海の様子は、北風が強く、申し込みプランの通りとはいかず、振替プランとなりました。
振替プランは、「宮良川マングローブSUP＋大崎湾シュノーケリング」。
少し戸惑いましたが、天候には逆らえません。

当日の朝、宿泊先の「グランヴィリオリゾート石垣島」までお迎えに来ていただきました。
インストラクターの方の明るく気さくな笑顔、少し不安な気持ちが一気に解消、ますます期待は膨らみます。

送迎車の中では、詳しいご説明と楽しいクイズ、車内は常に和気あいあいな雰囲気。
とてもフレンドリーなインストラクターの方に楽しさ倍増です。

あっという間に、宮良川に到着。初めてのSUPが始まります。
SUPボードは、結構重くて大きい。
インストラクターの方からの丁寧なご指導を受け、いざ宮良川へ。
川の流れに逆らい進みます。

見渡す限りマングローブが広がります。
一生懸命、バランスよく左側、右側とオールをかきました。

SUP上では、最初は膝立ち、慣れてきたところで立ち上がることができました。
ところがなんと！「産まれたての子羊みたいな足」。
プルプルと足が震え、なんともぎこちない。（恥ずかしい）

インストラクターの方からのマングローブのご説明に、マングローブのことを知ることができました。
宮良川マングローブ、とてもきれいで雄大です。
是非、経験されることをお薦めします。

お薦めいただいた平良商店の八重山そば、今回はプルプル足でお店まで歩けませんでしたので、
次回、必ず食べてみたいと思っています。

今回は、初めてのSUP経験で筋肉痛になりました。
貴重な経験をサポートいただき、インストラクターの方々に感謝します。
いただいたお写真、大切な記念になりました。
大変お世話になりありがとうございました。


さて、午後からは初めての本格的なシュノーケリング。
昼食を軽く済ませ、お迎えを待ちます。

午前同様、午後もインストラクターの方の明るく気さくな笑顔、やはり期待は膨らみます。
送迎車の車内は和気あいあいな雰囲気。
きれいな車窓風景にインストラクターの方のご説明が加わり、楽しさ倍増です。

あっという間に、大崎湾に到着。初めての本格的なシュノーケリングが始まります。
ウエットスーツを身にまとい、いざ出発。海に入ります。

うわっ、冷たい。

と思ったのは束の間、海に入ると意外にも水温に慣れてくるのですね。
インストラクターの方々の丁寧なご指導とご説明で海の中へ進みます。

海の中は、今までに経験したことのない、透明な水の中。
海の底まできれいに見渡せます。

サンゴ礁にたくさんの魚たち。感動ものです。

なれないお客を気遣い、インストラクターの方々の丁寧なご指導とご説明が続きます。

しばらく進むと、なっなんと！　ウミガメさんに遭遇・・・感動の嵐です。
海の中で至近距離でウミガメさんが泳いでいる。
こういう世界があるんだなぁ～と感動ひとしお。

あれれっ、インストラクターの方がナマコを手づかみ。
ナマコは、海のお掃除屋さんだそうです。

ウミガメさんに出会い、可愛くて記憶に残る素敵な経験をさせていただきました。
感動、感動。

貴重な経験をサポートいただき、インストラクターの方々に感謝します。
いただいたお写真と動画、大切な記念になりました。
大変お世話になりありがとうございました。


今回の石垣島旅行は、とっても良い思い出になりました。
またすぐ、石垣島に戻ってこようと思います。

「石垣島 ADVENTURE PiPi」様のインストラクターの方々は、最高です。
ありがとうございました。
またよろしくお願いします。

追伸、
大崎湾シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの動画をいただきました。
ありがとうございます。
残念ながら、いただいた数々の素敵な動画がアップロードできません。
ウミガメさんの勇姿をご覧いただけないのは残念でなりません。
是非、海の中でウミガメさんに会ってみてください。
本当に感動します！！

I participated in the mangrove canoe tour and the Blue Cave snorkeling tour.

Although the weather was not great in winter, the staff shared the unique benefits of this season, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

There were few tourists, so we could go at our own pace, which made it quite comfortable.

The Blue Cave is definitely worth a visit! It was a wonderful spot. The water we snorkeled in was very clear, and we were able to see many fish.

Thanks to the staff's communication, we had a great time with all the participants!

I also appreciated the abundance of sightseeing information about Ishigaki that they provided.

マングローブカヌーツアーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。

冬で天候がいまいちだったのですが、スタッフさんから冬だからこそのよさを教えていただき、楽しく参加することができました。

観光客も少なくて、自分たちのペースで体験できたので、かえって快適でした＾＾

青の洞窟は一見の価値あり！な素敵なスポットでした。
シュノーケリングで訪れた海も透明度が高く、たくさん魚を見ることができました。

スタッフさんからコミュニケーションをとっていただいたおかげで、参加者のみなさんと楽しく参加することができました！

石垣の観光情報もたくさん教えていただけて感謝です。

Due to strong winds, stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling were canceled, and our family of four experienced canoeing instead. Paddling was a bit challenging, but even beginners could enjoy it without difficulty. During the transfer from the hotel, our guide shared a lot of information about sightseeing and shops in Ishigaki Island, allowing us to have a great time until the end. I would love to rely on their services again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

強風でSUPとシュノーケリングは中止になり、家族４人でカヌーを体験。漕ぐのは少し大変でしたが、初心者でも無理なく体験できました。ホテルからの移動中はガイドさんが石垣島の観光やお店の情報をたくさん教えてくださり、最後まで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。また石垣島に来るときはお世話になりたいと思います！

Participation with parents in their 20s and 50s! I received a call the day before informing me that due to the wind and waves, the SUP experience would take place in the mangroves instead of Kabira Bay. If you prefer not to do SUP in the mangroves, you can cancel for free at this point. They will provide detailed information about the pick-up time and what to bring during that call.

The pre-activity lecture was thorough, and we were able to take photos with the mangroves in the background before we got too tired. Afterward, I accidentally fell in and got soaked, so I was really grateful to have a nice memory photo in good condition... (laughs)

They teach you how to ride, paddle, and stand not only during the initial lecture but also with ongoing guidance! My mother said before the experience that she "absolutely couldn't stand," but surprisingly, she was able to stand quite easily. After declaring that she was prepared to fall, she was even taught some fun challenges like jumping on the board and standing on one leg!

During the tour, we learned about the mangroves and the nature of Ishigaki Island at various points, and I was very satisfied not only with the fun of the SUP experience but also with the knowledge I was able to take home. We got to take a lot of photos! The moment I stood up for the first time, with my awkward stance, was perfectly captured, and it was moving＾＾

In early January, the weather was cloudy and windy, so it felt quite chilly at first. However, wearing a long-sleeved jersey in addition to my swimsuit, I found that I didn't mind it much after moving around a lot. But falling in and getting wet was definitely cold!! I strongly recommend bringing a change of clothes and a large towel for winter experiences, just in case and to fully enjoy the activity...!

I had so much fun that I want to try SUP in Kabira Bay as well! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

20代と50代の親子での参加！前日にいただいた電話で、風や波の関係で川平湾ではなくマングローブでのSUP体験になる旨を聞きました。川平湾でのSUPでないならキャンセル、という方はこの時点なら無料でキャンセルができるそう。送迎の時間、持ち物についてはその電話で改めて詳しく教えてもらえます。
アクティビティ開始前のレクチャーは丁寧で、「クタクタ顔になる前に」とマングローブをバックに写真撮影もしていただけました。なお、その後うっかり転落してびしょ濡れになったので綺麗な状態の記念写真が残ったのは本当に有り難かったです…（笑）

乗り方、漕ぎ方、立ち方も初めのレクチャーに加えて随時声かけで教えてくれます！母は体験前は「絶対に立てない」と言っていましたが、案外すんなりと立つことができていました。落ちる覚悟で色々準備してきたと宣言したところ、ボードの上でのジャンプや片足立ちなどちょっとしたチャレンジも教えてもらえました！

ツアー中、随所でマングローブや石垣島の自然について教えていただけて、SUPを体験できた楽しさだけでなく色々な知識を持って帰れて大満足です。写真たくさん撮ってもらえました！初めて立った瞬間のへっぴり腰の写真もバッチリ残ってて感動です＾＾
1月初旬、天気は曇りで風があったのではじめは割と肌寒く感じました。それでも水着に加え長袖のジャージで臨めば、たくさん動くのもあって途中からはとくに気にならなかったです。ただ落ちて濡れるとさすがに寒い！！万が一のために&全力で楽しむために冬季の体験では着替えと大きいタオルを持参しておくのを強くお勧めします…！

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったので川平湾でもSUPしてみたいなと思いました！素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

I had an amazing time experiencing SUP for the first time. The cute guide was very enthusiastic and led us well, which made me feel at ease.

初めてSupを体験してみたら超楽しかった
可愛いガイドさん　すごく熱心でリードすてくれて安心しました。

I experienced SUP and snorkeling for the first time. Unfortunately, it was raining, but I was happy to have the rare opportunity to do SUP in the mangroves. For lunch, the guide recommended a great burger place. Although it rained during the snorkeling in the afternoon, I was able to see beautiful corals and fish when I dove into the sea. I was also very happy to encounter a sea turtle.

The guide's various knowledge made the experience even more interesting. Additionally, the guide was an excellent swimmer and was able to take some valuable photos for me.

I participated alone, but I had a lot of fun. I would love to do it again. I hope to experience it on a sunny day next time.

初めてSUPとシュノーケリングを体験しました。あいにくの雨でしたが、マングローブでのSUPという貴重な体験ができ嬉しかったです。お昼は、ガイドの方にオススメのハンバーガー屋さんを教えて頂きました。昼からのシュノーケリングも雨でしたか、海に潜ると綺麗な珊瑚や魚を見ることができました。海亀にも会えてとても嬉しかったです。
ガイドの方の様々な知識でより面白い体験ができました。また、ガイドの方の泳ぎがとても上手で貴重な写真を撮影して頂けました。
1人での参加でしたがとても楽しかったです。また体験したいです。次は晴れた日にできたら嬉しいです。

I had the opportunity to go mangrove stand-up paddleboarding on Miyara River in Ishigaki Island. I experienced a surreal feeling similar to that of "Itte Q"! There was no wind, and I surprisingly managed to stand up on the paddleboard quite quickly, which was a lot of fun 🎵.

Additionally, the coordinator was very kind and shared many recommendations for shops in Ishigaki Island, making for great conversation and a wonderful time 👍. Thank you very much! ❗️

石垣島、宮良川のマングローブサップをやらせていただきました。「イッテQ」のような非日常感あふれる景色を体験できました！風も無くサップも意外とすぐ立てるようになって楽しかったです🎵
また、コーディネーターの方がとても親切で、石垣島のおすすめのお店などたくさん教えていただくなど話も盛り上がり、良い時間を過ごせました👍
ありがとうございました❗️

The sunset view was amazing! The organization and support provided were very good. The experience surpassed our expectations. It was our first time SUP. Although our Japanese language skills are not very good, we could learn very easily thanks to the kind explanation of the person in charge. We really enjoyed doing SUP in Ishigaki!!! Thank you!!!
