Miyako Island
On my first trip to Miyako Island, I was determined to experience snorkeling and SUP in one tour. The beach for the activity seems to change depending on the weather, and we received guidance via phone the day before.
★ Highlights
1. Safe for beginners
2. You only need to bring a swimsuit and a towel (a rash guard is also recommended for sun protection)
3. Photos will be sent via LINE later (the SUP photos were sent to us right after the activity!)
Additionally, the guides were very friendly and shared many recommendations for places to eat!
■ In the morning, we went snorkeling at Shigira Beach.
I tried not to get my hopes up too high since we were dealing with natural wildlife, but the guide managed to find a sea turtle for us to swim with, which was amazing! There were three guides for our group of eight, making it very safe for beginners. We took many memorable photos at points where we could see clownfish and sea turtles, and we received plenty of pictures of the coral reefs and fish without having to prepare our own camera, which made me very happy!
－－－
After the tour, we had free time for lunch before our afternoon activities. Since we would be moving around in a rental car, I recommend using a large towel or plastic to prevent the car from getting wet. (We received this advice during the phone call the day before as well!)
－－－
■ In the afternoon, we experienced SUP at Ingyamarine Garden.
At the meeting time, it was a bit windy and there was a downpour, but it seems this is common in Miyako Island. After about 5 to 10 minutes of heavy rain, the weather turned surprisingly nice! We practiced paddling while sitting down and gradually moved to standing, taking photos at various spots. The guides had specific backgrounds and angles in mind, and they took many beautiful pictures for us! Thanks to the friendly guides, we were able to chat with others in the tour and had a very enjoyable time.
I was a bit worried that participating in a full-day tour would prevent us from doing other things, but each session lasted about two hours, which was just right. We could freely have lunch nearby, and after the tour, we went straight to Shigira Golden Hot Springs (which is available for non-staying guests as well), allowing us to fully enjoy Miyako Island!
If you're unsure about what to do on your first visit to Miyako Island, I think booking this tour or some other activity will help you manage your time better and make for a great experience!
初の宮古島旅行で、これだけは！と思っていた
シュノーケリングとSUPをひとまとめに体験できるツアー
※体験するビーチはその日の天候によって異なるようで前日電話での案内です
★ポイント
①初心者でも安心
②持ち物も水着とタオルだけあればOK（日焼け対策にはラッシュガードも）
③写真も後日LINE送付（SUPの写真は当日すぐにお送り頂きました！）
その他、ガイドさんは気さくな方が多く、おすすめのお店等もたくさん教えてくれましたよ～！！
■午前中はシュノーケリング（シギラビーチ）
自然の生き物なので期待をしすぎない様にしていたものの、
ウミガメと泳げたらな～という理想を見事ガイドさんが探し当てて叶えてくれました！
8人で参加したツアーに、ガイドさん3名体制で初心者でも安心！
カクレクマノミやウミガメが居るポイント等で沢山の記念撮影や
自分たちは写っていないサンゴ礁やおさかなたちだけのお写真も沢山頂けて自分たちでカメラの用意をせずとも思い出を写真に残せたのでとっても嬉しかったです＾＾
ー－－
解散後は、各自午後のアクティビティまで自由に昼食、
レンタカー等で移動になるのであらかじめ大きめのタオルやビニール等を用いてレンタカーが濡れない様な対策をしておくと良いと思います！
（このあたりも前日のお電話で案内いただけました！）
ー－－
■午後はSUP体験（インギャーマリンガーデン）
集合時、少々風が強くスコールもありましたが、
宮古島ではよくあることのようで5～10分ほどザーッと雨が降った後はびっくりするくらい良いお天気に！
座った状態から漕ぐ練習をして、徐々に立って移動したり色んな場所で記念撮影も！ガイドさんこだわりの背景と角度があるようで（笑）とても綺麗なお写真を沢山残していただきました！！
気さくなガイドさんたちのおかげで一緒にツアーに参加した他の方々ともお話したりとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！
1日ツアーに参加したら他のことができなくなってしまう？と
少し心配していたものの、午前午後それぞれ2時間程度と時間も丁度良く、
近くで自由にお昼を食べたり、ツアー後はそのままシギラ黄金温泉へ（宿泊客でなくても利用可能です）行く等、宮古島を満喫できました！
初めての宮古島で何をどうしたら楽しめるかいまいちわからない・・という方はとりあえず本ツアー等、何かしらのアクティビティを予約しておけば時間にメリハリができて良い回り方ができるのではないかなーと思います！

I had an amazing experience feeling so close to nature. I really enjoyed the sea turtles and the Pumpkin Cave!! And above all, I underestimated the heat of Miyako Island (laughs). I went in a bikini, so I got really sunburned! I wish I had taken proper precautions and worn a swimsuit (laughs).
すごく自然を感じる体験ができました。
ウミガメもパンプキン鍾乳洞も最高に楽しめました！！
そしてなにより宮古島の暑さをなめてました（笑）
ビキニで行ったので日焼けがすごかったです！
全身しっかり予防して水着着てけばよかったなと思いました（笑）
Thank you for participating in the tour!
I'm so happy that you were able to experience the nature of Miyako Island. ♡
Seeing you swim with the sea turtles during snorkeling made me happy too! (o^^o)
Miyako Island is really hot, so it's important to take measures against sunburn. （ ; ; ）
Next time you come to the islands, please bring plenty of sun protection items! ♪ Haha
When you come back to visit, please get in touch! ♡

Thank you for today. It was my first time in Miyako Island and my first time doing SUP, but I received detailed guidance and had a lot of fun! The ocean was beautiful, and although the wind was strong, I was able to take some great photos, which became wonderful memories. The access from the hotel was good, and the parking was close, which was nice. I was also able to see the photos taken by the staff right away. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to visit Miyako Island again. It was amazing!!
今日はありがとうございました。初の宮古島で、初めてのSUPでしたが細かくご指導頂き、とても楽しく過ごすことが出来ました！海も綺麗で風は強かったですが写真も撮っていただき、とてもいい思い出になりました。ホテルからのアクセスも良く、駐車場も近くあり良かったです。スタッフの方に撮っていただいた写真もすぐに見ることが出来ました。また機会があればぜひ、宮古島へ行った際にはよろしくお願いします！最高でした！！
Thank you for participating in the tour.
Even with the strong winds, it was wonderful to see you all having such a great time, which made us feel happy too!
Please come back to Miyako Island for a relaxing stand-up paddleboarding experience when the sea is calm and without wind!

この度はツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
風の強い中でも、とても楽しんでる様子を見れてこちらも楽しい気持ちになりました！
是非また風もなく穏やかな海の時にのんびりサップをしに宮古島に遊びに来てください！

If you don't want to get sunburned, a rash guard or a wet-friendly T-shirt is essential!
I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at a shallow beach, where I learned how to paddle on land before actually getting on the water. The instructor explained the precautions and instructions very clearly, making it easy to understand. The sea was calm with no waves, allowing for a safe experience. However, I did fall and hit my knee on the board, so if you're concerned about that, wearing knee pads would make it safer.
For snorkeling, we changed locations from where we did SUP. While SUP was in a cove, snorkeling took place at the beach, which had some waves. There happened to be a lot of people, so the sand got stirred up, affecting visibility, but it was still sufficient to see fish. I was also able to see sea turtles clearly, which was satisfying. Just a note: since there are waves, those who are not used to swimming might struggle a bit.
日焼けしたくない人はラッシュガードや濡れても良いTシャツは必須です！
SUPは遠浅のビーチで、陸上で漕ぎ方を習ってから 実際に体験をしました。インストラクターの教え方は注意事項などを丁寧に教えてくださってとても分かりやすかったです。海辺では波もなく安全に行うことができました。ただ転んで膝をボートに打ち付けてしまったので、気になる方は膝のプロテクターなどあればもっと安全にできると思います。
シュノーケリングは、SUPと場所を変えて行ないました。SUPは入江でしたが、シュノーケリングはビーチなので波がありました。たまたま人がいっぱいいたので、砂が巻き上がり透明度があるというわけではなかったですが、魚を見るには十分でした。ウミガメもしっかり見ることができたので満足です。注意点としては、波があるので泳ぎ 慣れてない人は苦労するかもしれません。

The weather was wonderful, and the long-awaited Pumpkin Hall was very mystical and moving. Our guide, Mao, was efficient and made the activities run smoothly, which was great. At Pumpkin Hall, I got to hear various stories and was very satisfied. The diving was thrilling (laughs).
During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and Nemo, creating great memories of Miyako Island.
Thank you very much!
お天気にも恵まれ、念願だったパンプキンホールはとても神秘的で感動しました。ガイドのまおさんはテキパキと動いてくれて、スムーズにアクティビティが出来てよかったです。パンプキンホールでは、色々な話が聞けて、大満足です。飛び込みドキドキでした（笑）
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメやニモも見れて、宮古島のいい思い出が出来ました。
ありがとうございました

It's understandable that plans had to change due to the pumpkin being at sea, but it was disappointing that it took two days for the schedule to be adjusted, leading to the cancellation of the snorkeling tour in Yabiji. I can't help but feel regret over the cancellation of the Yabiji snorkeling, especially since I won't be able to visit Miyako Island again. It was my last trip, and I feel a deep sense of regret. I wish they had suggested a schedule change. Additionally, I was called "mother," which is something I would never experience on other tours. It was disrespectful and frustrating. I'm not your mother; I wanted to feel a sense of escape and freedom during my trip, yet I was constantly referred to as "mother." It was very unpleasant and the worst experience. I've participated in various other tours where travelers are treated properly, and those experiences were very enjoyable. Only in Miyako Island's Pipi was it the worst. The photos were mostly of large groups, and there weren't many of us, which was disappointing. It's a shame there are no good photos.
パンプキンが海のため、予定が変更になるのは仕方がないのですが、そのために2日も予定がとられることになりヤビジのシュノーケルを泣く泣くキャンセルしました。日程変更とか、１日の予定だったものをなぜ2日もとられてしまうのか？ヤビジのシュノーケルがキャンセルになってしまったので心残りで仕方ありません。もう宮古島は行けません。最後の旅行でしたので心残りで仕方ありません。日程変更を提案してくれたら良かったのに。また、他のツアーでは絶対にない呼ばれ方をしていました。何故かお母さんと呼ぶのです。失礼で頭にきてました。あなたのお母さんではないし、旅行で非日常を感じたく、解放的になりたくて行っているのに、終始お母さんと呼ばれます。とても気分は悪いかったし最悪でした。他に色々なツアーに参加していますが、ちゃんと旅行者扱いしていただき他のツアーはとても気持ちがいいです。宮古島のピピだけです。最悪です写真も団体客ばかりで私達のはあまり撮れてないし良くなかったです。いい写真がなくて残念です。。
Thank you for participating in our tour. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced during your important trip. To ensure this does not happen again, we will share your feedback with all staff and work on improvements. Thank you for your valuable input.

This was my fourth visit to Miyako Island, and my first time at the Pumpkin Cave!
It seems to be a power spot! You can only access it during low tide, and you paddle a canoe from the sandy beach to the entrance! It's such a sacred place that you bow and clap twice before entering! Inside, we enjoyed listening to explanations while having fun! At the end, I dove from the pumpkin, which was a bit scary, but it was a great experience! ^ ^
宮古島4回目にして初のパンプキン鍾乳洞！
ここはパワースポットになってるようです！
干潮の時にしか行けない場所で砂浜から入り口までカヌーで向かいます！
入る時にもしっかり一礼二拍手して入るくらい神聖な場所！
中で説明を聞きながら楽しませてくれました！
最後はパンプキンからダイブしてちょっと怖かったけどいい経験ができました^ ^

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and I was very satisfied with this tour as I learned about the island's attractive spots! The activities included plenty of free time, so once I got used to it, I could enjoy some private moments. I was thrilled to see sea turtles and even swim close to them, making it a valuable experience. During the SUP, I was able to relax and fully enjoy nature. They took a lot of photos and sent them to me right away, making it easy to reflect on the memories!
初めての宮古島でしたがこのツアーに参加して島の魅力的なスポットも教えていただき、大満足です！！！
参加したアクティビティでは自由時間もしっかりとってくれるので慣れてきたらプライベートな時間を過ごすこともできました！
ウミガメも見ることができ、また近くで泳ぐこともできたため大興奮の貴重な体験になりました。
SUPでは、寝転びながら自然を満喫することもできました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださりすぐに送っていただけたので思い出を振り返りやすかったです！！

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I used to travel to Miyako Island every year. I had previously signed up for the Pumpkin Cave, but due to the impact of a typhoon, it was changed to a different activity... I couldn't participate for a long time, but I finally got to join this time! It requires more physical strength than I expected, but I was able to directly experience the greatness of nature, which was a very valuable experience. Thank you to our guide, Maashi-san! I had a very enjoyable time.
コロナ禍以前は毎年、宮古島に旅行に行っていました。以前もパンプキン鍾乳洞を申し込んだ事がありますが、台風の影響で別のアクティビティに変更になってしまい…なかなか参加する事が出来ず、ようやく今回参加出来ました！
思っていた以上に体力を使いますが、自然の凄さを直接肌で感じ、とても貴重な体験をする事が出来ました。
案内して下さった、まーしさん！とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

When we gathered at the designated meeting place, a very friendly staff member warmly welcomed us and provided a thorough explanation of the tour. It was my first time snorkeling, but they clearly explained how to put on the equipment, so I was able to start without any anxiety. Unfortunately, the weather was not great that day, but I was able to see many beautiful fish that I normally wouldn't see. I was also thrilled to meet a sea turtle. Thanks to this tour, my trip to Miyako Island became even more fulfilling! Thank you!
指定された集合場所に集合すると、とてもフレンドリーな担当者の方が優しく出迎えてくださり、ツアーの説明を丁寧に行なってくださいました。シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、器具の装着方法もわかりやすく教えてくださったので、不安なくスタートする事ができました。当日はあいにくの天気でしたが、普段は見ることが出来ないきれいな魚を沢山見る事ができました。またウミガメにも会えて感激しました。このツアーのおかげでより充実した宮古島の旅となりました！ありがとうございました！

I experienced snorkeling and canoeing. The day before, it had rained a little and the weather looked uncertain, but it cleared up, and I was able to enjoy canoeing and snorkeling in a very beautiful sea.
It seemed that the sea was a bit shallow, so the chances of encountering a sea turtle might not have been high, and indeed, I didn't encounter one. However, I was very satisfied because I could see many fish and coral reefs.
Additionally, the instructor kindly sent me photos from the experience right after it ended and recommended some cafes, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely like to do this again!
シュノーケリングとカヌーを体験しました。
前日に雨が少し降り雲行が怪しかったですが、無事晴れてとても綺麗な海でカヌーやシュノーケリングの体験をできました。
海が少し浅かったみたいでウミガメに遭遇できる確率は高くはないかもしれないとのことで、やはり遭遇はできませんでしたが、たくさんの魚や珊瑚礁を見ることができたため、とても満足でした。
また、インストラクターの方が体験中の写真を終了後すぐに送ってくれたり、おすすめのカフェなどを教えてくれ、とても親切でより楽しく体験できました。
またぜひ体験したいです！

It was really great. Since it was my first time SUP, I was worried about whether I could do it well, but the instructor taught us carefully, and even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy it! Both my friend and I managed to finish without falling off the board even once. They also took photos for us, and we got some great shots! They showed us good photo spots as well. I'm really glad I signed up; it was a wonderful experience. When I go to Miyakojima again, I hope to do this again. If you ever visit Miyakojima, definitely give it a try!
とても良かったです。SUP初めてだったので上手くできるか心配たったのですがインストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくださり初心者でも楽しむ事が出来ました！友人も私も一度もボートからおちずに終われました。写真も撮って下さり良い写真が撮れました！写真スポットもおしえてくれました。とても楽しく申し込んで良かったです。良い経験となりました。また宮古島に行った際はよろしくお願いします。是非宮古島に行った際は体験してみてください。

During the rainy season on Miyako Island, there was heavy rain until the morning, but I received a message that I could change the time for the day. I was able to experience snorkeling and kayaking under the sun.
My companion, who is not a strong swimmer, wanted to try snorkeling, so we signed up for this tour. The instructor provided safety explanations and helped practice swimming in shallow water, allowing my companion to swim independently and see many beautiful fish up close, which was very moving.
We encountered clownfish and even a sea turtle, swimming together at close range, and we were able to capture videos as well.
Additionally, we kayaked at Imugya Marine Garden that day, gently paddling while swaying in the pleasant breeze and calm waves. The instructor also shared recommendations for local spots.
Although it was about a half-day tour, it was neither too packed nor too stretched out; it was just right, and I was very satisfied. I was also happy that the videos and photos were sent to us right after the tour ended.
When I revisit Miyako Island, I plan to book this tour again. Thank you for the wonderful travel memories.
梅雨最中の宮古島で、朝方までは強い雨が降っていたものの、当日時間を変更頂けるとの連絡をもらい。太陽の下でシュノーケルとカヤックを体験できました。
同伴者は泳ぎが得意でないもののシュノーケルを体験してみたいとのことで、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
現地でインストラクターの方に安全への説明や浅瀬で泳ぎ方の練習もして頂いたことで、同伴者も独力で泳ぐことができ、たくさんの綺麗な魚たちが泳ぐ姿を至近で観られ、とても感動的でした。
クマノミやなんとウミガメにも出会え、近距離で一緒に泳いだり、動画も撮ってもらえました。
また、カヤックはこの日はイムギャーマリンガーデンにて、心地よい風と穏やかな波に揺られつつのんびりと漕ぎながら、
インストラクターの方から現地のおすすめスポット等も聞けて、、
およそ半日のツアーでしたが、詰め込んだような工程でもなく、かと言って間延びもない丁度良さ、大満足でした。
また、動画や写真をツアー終了後すぐに送って頂くことができたことも嬉しかったです。
宮古島へ再訪の際は、またこちらのツアーを予約しようと思っています。素敵な旅の思い出をありがとうございます。

I participated in a morning canoeing session and an afternoon sea turtle snorkeling tour.
The day before, I received a call regarding the meeting place, what to bring, and important notes for the day.
On the day of the tour, we gathered at 10:30 at Imugya Marine Garden! The instructor was a cheerful and lively person named Kuma-kun. I was nervous since it was my first time canoeing, but I was grateful for the thorough explanations he provided. It was the middle of the rainy season, and unfortunately, the sea was murky due to heavy rain the day before, but luckily, the weather was calm on the day of the tour, allowing us to paddle smoothly to our favorite spots. I was so excited to discover how much fun canoeing can be! Along the way, we peeked into the water, navigated through narrow gaps between rocks, and even saw an eagle carrying a large fish (Kuma-kun mentioned it was his first time seeing that too). Chatting with Kuma-kun made the 1.5 hours fly by.
After that, we had a lunch break from 12:00 to 14:00, during which we could freely explore, eat at nearby shops, or visit souvenir stores.
In the afternoon, we gathered at Shigira Beach at 14:00, and the instructor was Mao-kun! He provided detailed explanations with great effort. I had done snorkeling a few times before, but I felt that he was the most thorough instructor I had encountered. In the sea, he took us to a spot where we could see clownfish, and then to a location where sea turtles were present for my long-awaited sea turtle snorkeling! I had seen sea turtles from above the water several times, but this time, they were so close that I could reach out and touch them (they stayed about 1 meter in front of me) while they were eating! I was able to witness the turtles coming up for air three times, every five minutes, and it was truly a lot of fun.
About an hour after the tour ended, they sent us many photos of the canoeing and snorkeling via LINE! This was amazing! Also, it's often difficult to take good photos while in the water, so receiving the data was really appreciated.
It was a thoroughly satisfying day. Thank you very much!
午前カヌー、午後ウミガメシュノーケリンツアーに参加しました。
前日に、当日の集合場所や持ち物、注意点についてお電話をもらいました。
当日は、10:30にイムギャーマリンガーデンに集合！
インストラクターは明るくてノリのいい、くまくんでした。
はじめてのカヌーで緊張していましたが、すごく丁寧に説明してくれたので、ありがたかったです。
梅雨真っただ中で、前日は大雨だったので残念ながら海は濁っていましたが、幸運なことに当日は凪だったので、自分の好きな場所にスイスイ移動できて、カヌーってこんなに楽しいんだ！と大興奮でした。
途中で海の中を覗いてみたり、狭い岩の間を移動してみたり、鷲が大きな魚を重そうに運ぶところをみたり（くまくんも初めて見たそうです。）、くまくんとのおしゃべりも楽しく、あっという間の1.5時間でした。
そのあと、12:00～14:00は昼休憩ですが、自由に行動できるので、近所のお店で食べたり、お土産物屋さんにいったりできます。
午後は14:00にシギラビーチに集合で、インストラクターはまおくんです！
一生懸命、丁寧に説明してくださりました。シュノーケリングはこれまで何度かしたことがありますが、今までで一番丁寧に説明してくださるインストラクターさんだな、と感じました。
海では、ニモのいるスポットに連れてってくれて、その後はウミガメがいる場所に連れてってくれて念願のウミガメシュノーケリング！！
ウミガメはこれまで海の上からは何度か見ることはありましたが、手を伸ばせば触れる近距離（目の前1mくらいのところにずっといます。）で、食事をしているところをずっと観察！！ウミガメの5分おきの息継ぎを3回も見ることができて、本当にとても楽しかったです。
ツアーが終了して約1時間後には、LINEを通してカヌーとシュノーケリングの写真をたくさん送ってくれました！これはすごい！また、海で自分で写真を撮ってもなかなかうまくは撮れませんし、データでいただけるのはすごくうれしかったです。
大満足な一日でした。
ありがとうございました！

I participated in snorkeling and SUP!
In the morning, we gathered at Shigira Beach at 10:00 and started with snorkeling.
It was my first experience, but they explained how to use the equipment carefully, so I was able to enjoy it without any problems.
As soon as we got into the water, I was surprised to see so many fish!
By the way, even if you're not confident in swimming, you can hold on while swimming, so it's okay.
In the afternoon, the SUP experience was enjoyable as we felt the pleasant breeze under the blue sky!
We participated as two beginners, but they taught us how to handle the paddle and gave us advice, so we were able to maneuver freely in no time. It was great that we could ask questions easily and felt safe during the experience.
We also had photos taken at various points. I've been enjoying looking back at them since I got home!
I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
Thank you!
シュノーケリングとSUPで参加しました！
午前中は10:00にシギラビーチ集合でまずシュノーケリングをしました。
初体験だったのですが、道具の使い方も丁寧に説明してくれたので、問題なく楽しむことができました。
海に出るとすぐにお魚が沢山いてびっくり！！
ちなみに泳ぎに自信がない人も、捕まりながら泳ぐことができるので大丈夫です。
午後からのSUP体験は、青空のもとで心地よい風を感じながら楽しむことができました！
初体験の2人で参加しましたが、パドルの扱い方を教えていただいたり、アドバイスをいただいたりしてすぐに自由に操作できるようになりました。気軽に質問もできて、安心して体験できたのがよかったです。
写真も色んなポイントで撮っていただけました。帰ってきてからも見返して楽しんでいます！
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

I participated in a tour to swim with sea turtles and kayak, as I wanted to swim with sea turtles on my first trip to Miyako Island. Since it was the rainy season, the snorkeling at the first location, Shinjo Beach, started with rain. However, as soon as we entered the water, the instructor found a sea turtle, and we were able to swim together. At the end, a large turtle appeared, which was quite impressive. We took a lot of photos, and they sent them to me later via LINE. We then moved to Imugya Marine Garden, where I was taught how to paddle, and even as a beginner, I was able to paddle smoothly. I want to see the sunlit sea of Miyako Island, so I plan to try again.
初めての宮古島旅行でウミガメと泳いでみたく
カヌーとウミガメと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
梅雨ということもあり最初の新城海岸でのシュノーケルは雨から始まりました。でも海に入ってすぐに

The female guide was friendly and provided a thorough tour, which was great!
I was very satisfied with the beautiful photos she took!
The inside of the cave was truly mystical and a wonderful place.
It was an amazing tour where I could also experience purification and feel the greatness of nature!
We canoed to the entrance of the cave, and the exploration lasted about three hours, which was just the right amount of time—not too short and not too long.
I was very satisfied with the content of the tour and had no complaints, but...
During Golden Week, it had been raining for two days prior, and there were quite a lot of people in the cave, including those from other tours, which was disappointing...
Since it's a sacred and wonderful place, I think the tour company should consider limiting the number of people allowed in per day for safety and to protect the cave.
女性のガイドさんで、気さくな方で案内もしっかりして下さってとても良かったです^_^
写真も素敵に撮っていただいて大満足！
鍾乳洞の中は、本当に神秘的で素晴らしい場所でした。
お清め体験もできたり、自然の偉大さ感じられるほんとうに素晴らしいツアーでした！
カヌーで鍾乳洞の入口まで行って、鍾乳洞探検と
3時間程度で短すぎず、長すぎずなちょうど良い内容でした。
ツアーの内容自体は、大満足で言うことなかったのですが、
GW中、2日前まで雨が続いていたこともあってか、他のツアーの方も含めると洞窟内にかなりの人がいて、人だらけだったのは残念でした。。。
神聖で素晴らしい場所なので、ツアー会社で協議して、1日に入れる人数を制限したりした方が良いんじゃないかなと思いました。
安全面や鍾乳洞の保護のためにも…
Thank you for participating in the tour!
The Pumpkin Cave is truly mystical, isn't it?
It's such a wonderful place that leaves you in awe no matter how many times you visit!
The purification with the sacred water created by nature is incredibly refreshing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos!

We were blessed with good weather and headed towards the entrance of a sea cave by kayaking. There were some waves, but as we got used to them, it became enjoyable. We entered one by one, timing it with the waves. Inside was much larger than I expected—I'd love for you to see it for yourself and be amazed. I've visited many caves, but being able to swim and climb in a place that actually has a pool was truly a rare experience. Our female guide, Nakamura, was strong and reliable, and she took many beautiful photos for us. Thank you! I want to go again.
天気にも恵まれ、カヤックを漕いで海に開いた鍾乳洞の入り口に向かいます ちょっと波があったけどだんだんそれも楽しくなったころ到着 波のタイミングで一人づつ中に入っていきます 中は思っていたより広く〜〜あとは是非自分の目で見て驚いて欲しいです 鍾乳洞はあちこち行きましたが実際にプールになっているところを泳いだり、登ったりできるなんてほんとに貴重な体験でした 女性ガイドのナカムラさん、力持ちで頼もしく写真も綺麗にたくさん撮っていただきました ありがとうございます また行きたいです
Thank you for participating in the tour!
The weather had been bad for several days, but it was really nice on the day of the tour, wasn't it?
There were some waves, but that added to the sense of adventure and made it fun!
The inside of the limestone cave is truly mystical and moving!
I feel touched every time I go!
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos too!
Please feel free to contact us again when you come to the islands!

It was unfortunately rainy, but I was grateful that the tour went ahead. The tour itself was truly satisfying as I got to see the unique limestone caves that can only be found in Miyako Island. As noted in the instructions, there are really no restrooms around, so I think it would be great if a few portable toilets could be set up.
あいにくの雨でしたが催行いただき、ありがたかったです。ツアー自体は本当に宮古島のここでしか見れない鍾乳洞が見れてとても満足でした。注意書きにも記載がありますが、周りにトイレが本当になく、いくつか簡易トイレでいいので設置してもらえたらなと思いました。

This is definitely worth a visit.
At Shigira Beach, the chances of encountering sea turtles may decrease, but luckily, I was able to swim with one.
The sea kayaking to Pumpkin was not too challenging in terms of waves or distance, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the caves. The two bows and claps were also performed by the guide from Yakushima, showing respect for nature.
The schedule varies depending on the tide conditions, so it may not be as listed. For reference, I will provide my schedule below. I almost lost heart due to the rain at the start, but the water temperature was not cold, and I was able to enjoy it fully! Thank you, guide Manami!

これは、行く価値あります。
シギラビーチではウミガメ遭遇率落ちるそうですが、運良く一緒に泳げました。
パンプキンまでのシーカヤックも、波も距離もそれほどでは無く、洞窟探検を堪能させて頂きました。
2礼合掌は屋久島のガイドの方もやってましたが、自然へのリスペクトですね。

出発時の雨に心折れそうになりましたが、水温も寒くはなく、十分に堪能できました！

I was able to participate in three activities in one day. I even got to meet sea turtles and was taken to spots that I couldn't have gone to without a guide. It was more fun than I imagined, and I am very satisfied. All the instructors were very polite and kind, allowing me to enjoy myself with peace of mind!
1日で3つのアクティビティに参加させて頂く事が出来ました。
ウミガメにも出会えたり、ガイドなしでは行けないスポットにも連れていってもらえて、想像以上の楽しさで、大満足です。
インストラクターみなさん、とても丁寧で親切、安心して楽しく満喫出来ました！

I am a woman in my 50s.
The day I participated was cloudy with occasional rain, and it was very windy. I was looking forward to the limestone cave, but getting there by canoe was quite hard due to the unfamiliar posture and strong winds (I usually exercise and was confident overall).
I was taught how to paddle carefully, and I was able to progress well. The limestone cave was truly mystical and beautiful. The guide was very attentive and considerate, much more so than guides from other tours, which made for a wonderful memory. I’m really glad I could participate in such a good tour.
I highly recommend this tour! ✌️

参加した日は、曇り時々雨の日で、とにかく風の強い日でした。鍾乳洞を楽しみに参加しましたが、そこへ行くまでの、カヌーが、慣れない姿勢に、強い風で、なかなかハードでした。(普段から運動していて、大略には自信があったのですが)
漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてもらい、うまく進むことができました。鍾乳洞は本当に、パンプキンで、神秘的でした。他のツアーのガイドさんよりも、とても丁寧な対応で、気遣いも細やかで、楽しい思い出となりました。良いツアーに参加できて本当に良かったです。
ここのツアーはおすすめです✌️

The Pumpkin Cave! It was truly like a pumpkin!
It was very magical and I was moved. I was a bit worried about the weather being bad and overcast, thinking it might be cold, but once I put on the wetsuit, I wasn't cold at all.
The canoe ride to the cave was fun as we paddled while avoiding rocks and waves, but my arms were sore in the morning (laughs).
The guide provided thorough explanations and assistance, and even took photos for us, making it a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much.
パンプキン鍾乳洞！ 本当にパンプキンでした！
とても幻想的であり、感動しました。天候が少し悪く、曇り空だったので、寒いかな？と心配していましてが、ウエットスーツを着ると全く寒くありませんでした。
鍾乳洞付近までの、カヌーは岩や波をなんとか避けながら漕ぎ、楽しかったのですが、朝や腕が筋肉痛になりました(笑)
ガイドの方は丁寧な説明や対応に加え、写真も撮ってくださり、とても良い思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました。

For my wife and me, who are in our late 50s, this tour was honestly a bit of a stretch physically, but it was packed with content and provided the most exciting time we've had in recent years. We were able to go deep into caves that we usually only see on TV, and it was a series of breathtaking experiences! For those thinking, "Maybe I'll relax on a southern island after retirement," I highly recommend experiencing this tour while you are still able to move.
50代後半の私達夫婦にとって、体力的に正直ギリギリ参加できるツアーでしたが、内容が濃くここ数年で最もエキサイティングな時間でした。テレビでしか観ることのないような洞窟の奥まで行くことができ、感動に次ぐ感動！「定年退職したらのんびり南の島でも行こうかな」など思われている方、是非身体の動く今のうちにこのツアーをご体験されますこと、お勧め致します。

It's an amazing experience. Beginners in Miyako Island should definitely try it. You'll learn about Miyako Island and I think you'll come to love it.
サイコーの体験です。
宮古島初心者は絶対体験すべき。宮古島について学べ、宮古島を好きになると思います。
