All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I participated in a tour in early February! The instructor, Yamachan, was very friendly and knowledgeable about sea turtles. They taught us how to breathe while snorkeling and did warm-up exercises in the shallow water, ensuring the children's safety during the tour. We were able to encounter about five sea turtles and swim quite close to them. They also took many wonderful photos, so I highly recommend this experience!

2月初旬にツアーに参加させていただきました！
インストラクターのやまちゃんは凄く親しみやすく、ウミガメにもかなり詳しい方です。
事前に浅瀬でシュノーケリングの呼吸方法や準備運動を教えて頂き、子供の安全にも配慮されたツアーでした。
実際にウミガメにも5匹くらい出会うことができ、かなり近距離で泳ぐことができました。
素敵な写真も何枚も撮って頂けたので本当にオススメです！！

Unfortunately, it was rainy and cold. But the water was beautiful! Sadly, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I did see Nemo! I hope to participate on a sunny and warm day next time. Thank you very much.

あいにくの雨と寒さ。でも海の中は綺麗でした！残念ながら海亀はみれず。でもニモは見れました！
次は晴れてあったかい日に参加できたらなと思います。ありがとうございました。

In mid-January 2025, I participated in a SUP and snorkeling tour.

First, we experienced SUP! For the first five minutes, we received a lecture on how to ride the SUP and safety precautions on land, and then we hit the water! At first, it was difficult, but I gradually got the hang of it and was able to paddle faster. The wind felt nice, and I was healed by the sea. It was also great that we took a lot of photos to create memories.

After that, we changed locations by car for snorkeling. Since it was January, I was worried it might be cold, but the water temperature was warm, and I was able to borrow a wetsuit, so I wasn't cold at all.

During snorkeling, I encountered many different types and colorful fish. The beauty of the sea was better than that of Ishigaki Island and Miyako Island. The clarity was outstanding, as if I were inside a glass. Soon after, we spotted a sea turtle!! It was so cute to see the turtle during its feeding time and moments when it came up for air.

Thank you, Taiga, for taking care of us!

2025年1月中旬、SUPとシュノーケルツアーに参加しました。

まずはSUPから体験！はじめの5分程は陸にてSUPの乗り方・注意点などをレクチャーしてもらい、その後着水！初めは難しかったですが、だんだんコツを掴んで早く漕げるようになり、風も気持ちよく海に癒されました。 写真も沢山撮って頂いて思い出に残せたのも良かったです。

その後車で場所を変え、シュノーケリング。時期が1月ということで、寒いかな…と心配しておりましたが、水温は高めなのとウエットスーツをお借りでき、寒くなかったです◎

シュノーケルでは沢山の種類・色とりどりの魚と出会うことができました。海の綺麗さは、本島よりも石垣島よりも宮古島ですね。透明度は抜群でガラスの中に入っているかのようでした。そして、まもなくするととウミガメが！！ウミガメの食事タイムや息継ぎの瞬間を見れ、とても可愛いかったです。

担当してくださったたいがさん！ありがとうございました(^o^)

I participated in a night tour in Miyako Island! Since I came to the remote island, I was looking forward to enjoying the starry sky! As soon as the night tour started and I looked up at the sky, it was filled with stars! I was a bit worried because it had been cloudy during the day, but I was glad I could see the starry sky! The wildlife exploration was also enjoyable, as the guide introduced everything in detail! I would love to participate again!

宮古島でナイトツアーなら参加しました！
離島に来たからには、星空を楽しみにしていました！ナイトツアースタートと同時に空を見上げると満点の星空が！
日中は曇っていたので、少し不安でしたが星空を見ることができてよかったです！
生き物散策も、ガイドさんが丁寧に紹介してくれるので楽しめました！
また参加したいと思いました！

I toured Miyako Island for the first time by taxi. I left it to the driver and was able to visit almost all the attractions on the island and fully enjoy the experience. Among them, the Irabu Bridge was breathtaking and the mood was fantastic.

初めての宮古島をタクシーで観光しました。ドライバーにお任せして島内のほぼすべての名所を巡り満喫することが出来ました。中でも伊良部大橋は圧巻で気分も最高でした。

We participated in this tour as a couple during our company's refresh vacation! At that time, there was heavy snow back home, so we were quite shivering while putting on our swimsuits, waiting for the pickup car...

During the ride, our guide, Yuuri, shared recommendations for this season and detailed information about the conditions in the sea, which helped lift our spirits a bit.

We started snorkeling at 8 AM, and as soon as we entered the water, just as Yuuri said, our bodies quickly adjusted to the sea temperature. The beautiful sea also boosted our excitement!

We immediately encountered a sea turtle eating seaweed, which Yuuri had mentioned was hard to find. To our surprise, we ended up seeing three sea turtles in a row, and we even got some great photos!

The hour and a half flew by, but once we got back on land and took off our wetsuits, the wind made it quite chilly. However, they even prepared warm water to rinse off the seawater, which was impressive for such a young team!

After that, we joined three other couples and had a great time with SUP and canoeing. SUP seemed challenging for balance, and many fell in, but the warm seawater made it fun, and I enjoyed it too while canoeing!

The forecast for January 16 was cloudy, but the sun peeked out, and we truly had a great time! If we have another opportunity, I might try to build up my stamina for even more fun activities with Yuuri's guidance.

Thanks to Yuuri, we had a wonderful experience! Thank you!

会社のリフレッシュ休暇を利用して、今回のツアーに夫婦で参加しました❗️
内地では大雪が降ってる頃でしたので、結構ブルブル震えながら海パンを履いて、迎えの車に…
車中ではガイドの、ゆうり君が、今の時期のお勧めや、海の中の状況を詳しく教えてくれて、少しは気持ちが前向きに😊
朝の8時からシュノーケリングでしたが、いざ海に入ってみると、ゆうい君の言う通り、直ぐに海水の温度に身体が慣れて、また、綺麗な海なので、2人してテンション爆上がり❗️
早速、海亀が海藻を食べてるところに遭遇し、なかなか見つからないんですよ…って言ってた、ゆうり君の話しがネタじゃないかと思うくらい、連続で3匹の海亀に遭遇し、カメラにも納めてもらいました😁
あっという間の1時間半でしたが、やはり陸に上がってウエットスーツを脱ぐと、風もあり結構な寒さに…
でも身体の海水を流す用のお湯まで用意して貰い、容易の良さに、この若さで…と感心する事間違いなしです❗️
その後は、3組のカップルの方と合流し、SUPとカヌーで和気あいあい楽しみました😊
SUPはバランス難しいようで、結構落水してましたが、海水も暖かく、逆に楽しそうにしてるので、カヌーだった私も楽しくなりました😁
1月16日予報は曇りでしたが、太陽も顔を出してくれて、ホント楽しめました‼️
また機会あれば、ゆうり君のアテンドでもっと楽しいアクティビティに挑戦するべく、基礎体力つけようかな〜😅
ゆうり君のお陰で楽しめました〜
ありがとうね〜👍

On January 9, 2025, at 11 AM, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain. We had planned to go snorkeling at Shinjiko Beach, but due to strong winds and rough waves, we received a call in the morning to change our plans to Shigira Beach.

In January, the water temperature is quite low, so we borrowed wetsuits and after some stretching, we were given an explanation on how to use the snorkel and the right mindset for snorkeling. The fish and coral were very beautiful, but we were told that the encounter rate with sea turtles is lower here compared to Shinjiko.

To our surprise, right at the start, Yamachan spotted two green sea turtles! We were able to take photos with Yamachan's underwater camera, and afterwards, we were introduced to various fish, including the clownfish, which made for a truly memorable experience.

Even though the weather was bad, the underwater scenery was stunning, and we had a great time. Later, we received many photo files via LINE, which became a wonderful souvenir. Thank you very much!

2025年1月9日午前１１時天気曇り時々雨
新城海岸でのシュノーケリングの予定でしたが、大風で波がバタバタということで急きょシギラビーチに変更という電話を朝にいただきました。
１月は水温が低めなのでウェットスーツをお借りしてストレッチの後、シュノーケルの使い方や心構えを説明いただきトライ。
魚や珊瑚はとても綺麗だけど海亀が新城よりも少なく遭遇率が下がるというお話でしたが、
びっくり‼︎開始早々山ちゃんが２匹の青海亀を発見‼︎山ちゃん持参の水中カメラで撮影していただき、その後カクレクマノミをはじめとする様々なお魚を丁寧にご紹介いただき、感動の時間を過ごさせていただきました。
天気が悪くても海の中はとても綺麗でとても楽しめました。
その後に写真データをLINEでたくさんいただき、素敵なお土産になりました。
ありがとうございました。

In December, there were many days when the weather was bad and we couldn't take photos, but miraculously, we were able to shoot!!

We were able to take pictures under a beautiful starry sky. It became an unforgettable memory of my trip to Miyako Island.

The coastline at night is pitch dark, so the journey was a bit scary. 😅

12月は天気が悪く撮影することができない日が多い中、奇跡的に撮影してもらえました！！

とっても綺麗な星空のしたで写真撮れました。
宮古島旅行の忘れられない思い出になりました。

夜の海岸は真っ暗なので、道中が怖かったです😅

I was able to take some really wonderful photos!! The photographer was very friendly and not only took great pictures but also kindly shared recommendations for spots to visit in Miyako Island!

とても素敵な写真を撮って頂けました！！
カメラマンの方はとても気さくで写真だけでなく、宮古島のおすすめスポットも丁寧に教えて頂きました！

I made a reservation because I wanted to take starry sky photos in Miyako! I hadn't decided on any poses, but they suggested several popular poses, which made the shoot go smoothly. The finished photos turned out beautifully, creating wonderful memories that I couldn't capture with my smartphone!

本島からですが、宮古で星空フォトを撮ってみたくて予約しました！
ポーズを決めていなかったのですが、人気のポーズをいくつか提案してくださってスムーズに撮影することが出来ました。
出来上がりのデータはスマホでは撮れない素敵な写真に仕上がっていて良い思い出になりました！

Since it was a rainy and windy day in Miyako Island, I didn't have high expectations from the moment I arrived at the airport. However, the driver provided detailed explanations about Miyako Island and kindly answered our questions. Although there were few ANA flights and we only had a two-hour stay, we were able to visit famous spots and take photos, making it a fulfilling sightseeing experience. Of course, the driving was safe.

小雨&強風の宮古島観光だったので、空港に着いた時から期待していませんでした。
でも運転手さんが宮古島について詳しく説明してくださり、また私達の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれました。ANAの便が少なく2時間の滞在でしたが、その中で名所を巡り写真も撮ってくださり充実した観光でした。もちろん安全運転でした。

In the itinerary where I was returning to the airport in the evening, I was torn between a taxi tour and a rental car. However, I decided to go with the taxi tour because I could hear various stories about Miyako Island from the driver and I didn't have local knowledge, so I could leave it up to them.

For the taxi tour, I had communicated about three places I wanted to visit in advance, and they were able to create a tour that included those places plus some recommended spots. I also received tips on great photo spots and was able to take pictures at various locations. They even recommended a nice lunch place, which made for a very enjoyable experience.

Participating in the tour while listening to the driver's stories made for a very fulfilling final day. Thank you very much.

夕方には空港へ帰路につく、という行程のなかで、タクシーツアーかレンタカーかで悩みましたが、ドライバーさんに宮古島の色々なお話しを伺えること、土地勘がないのでお任せできるという点からタクシーツアーをお願いすることにしました。
タクシーツアーでは事前に行きたい場所を3箇所ほどお伝えしていましたが、行きたい場所+おすすめの場所でツアーを組んでいただけました。
またおすすめ写真スポットを教えていただいたり各所で撮影いただけたこと、おすすめランチ場所も教えていただいたりと、楽しく過ごすことができました。
ドライバーさんのお話しを聞きつつゆったりツアーに参加でき、とても充実した最終日になりました。ありがとうございました。

During the cruise on the MSC Bellissima, we stopped at Miyako Island and had a three-hour tour by taxi, with the driver taking care of all the destinations. We visited some hidden gems, and the guide was fantastic, allowing us to have a memorable time.

MSCベリッシマのクルーズで宮古島に寄港し、タクシーで3時間の観光でしたが、運転手さんに行き先は全てお願いしました。穴場スポットでガイドも素晴らしく、思い出に残る時間を過ごすことができました。

The person who took the photos was friendly, kind, and absolutely wonderful! The night sky was so beautiful that you could see artificial satellites with the naked eye. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished photos. It was a magical and lovely experience.

写真を撮ってくれる方が気さくで親切でとても最高でした！
星空は、肉眼でも人工衛星が見れるぐらいの星のきれいさ。それが写真に残せるので出来上がりがとても楽しみです。
幻想的で素敵な体験ができました。

The weather forecast was cloudy until the day before, and I was worried because it was still partly cloudy during the day. However, by the time we started shooting, it was completely clear.

I was able to see the starry sky, just like I did when I was a child, even with my aging eyes.

The starry sky in Miyako Island is the best.

Of course, the photos turned out amazing. The staff suggested poses, and by just holding still for a count of ten, we quickly finished taking eight photos together.

Next time, I want to take pictures with the Milky Way in the background.

前日まで曇天予報　当日も日中は半分くらい雲で心配しましたが　撮影時間にはすっかり晴天となりました　
子供の頃に見た満天の星を　私の近・乱・老の目でも見ることが出来ました　

宮古島の星空は最高です

もちろん写真も最高の出来栄えとなりました
スタッフさんがポーズを指定してくれて　
10カウントじっとしているだけで　あっという間に2人で8枚の撮影終了

今度は天の川をバックに写真に納まりたいです

The instructor (Yama-chan) was very friendly and taught us the methods in a detailed manner, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. The photos taken were all beautiful, as attached, and they became wonderful memories! I am also recommending it to my friends. 😊

インストラクター（やまちゃん）がとてもフレンドリーで丁寧にやり方を教えてくださったので、安心して参加できました。
撮っていただいた写真も添付のようにキレイな物ばかりでとても良い思い出になりました！友人にも勧めています(^^)

We participated as a family with three elementary school children. Although we couldn't see the coconut crabs due to the season, we are grateful for the unique experience we had and for the kindness of our guide, which allowed the children to enjoy searching for coconut crabs.

It was a beautiful place to see the stars, and we took wonderful family photos, creating lovely memories of Miyako Island. The children were very interested in the stories about constellations! Thank you for the precious experience!

小学生3人を連れて、家族で参加させて頂きました。ヤシガニは季節的に見ることが出来ませんでしたが、普段できない体験が出来たこと、ガイドして下さる方がとても親切で子どもたちも楽しみながらヤシガニ探しができたことに感謝しております。
星がとても綺麗に見える場所で、家族で写真を撮って頂き素敵な宮古島の思い出になりました。星座の話など子どもたちも興味津々でした！貴重な体験をありがとうございました！

The first day was rainy, so it was postponed to the next day. Moreover, they even adjusted the timing to fit our schedule for the following day. Their flexibility made for a wonderful memory. It seems there was a phenomenon called "Halo Moon," and they were able to capture it in a fantastic photo. The lighthearted conversations while the clouds parted were also enjoyable.

初日は雨で翌日に順延していただきました。しかも、翌日の予定に合わせて時間の都合まで変更していただきました。　
柔軟に対応していただけて素晴らしい思い出になりました。
月にハロという現象がでたようで幻想的な写真に仕上げていただけました。
雲が散る間の他愛ないお話も楽しかった。

I was just so excited and thrilled.
The thrill of exploring a dark jungle with only a flashlight.
Creatures illuminated by the flashlight.
The target coconut crab.
The sense of security provided by the supportive staff.

It's a bit hard to put into words, so if you're interested, definitely check it out!

It was my first experience seeing such a starry sky, and I was deeply moved. I was very satisfied with the beautiful photos I received. I highly recommend the starry sky photo experience.

こんなに満天の星空を見たのは初めての体験で、感動しました。
すごく素敵な写真を撮ってもらって大満足です。星空フォトオススメです。

During the limited time in the morning, I was able to experience canoeing while ensuring safety, and in the meantime, I checked the sea conditions, which led to the next snorkeling session.

I was able to see the turtles that I absolutely wanted to see, and I am very satisfied‼️ If I go to Miyako Island again, I would like to request Yūri-kun 🙇

There were also customers from abroad, and the guidance in English was smooth, making it highly recommended for international visitors as well.

午前中という限られた時間の中で、安全確認しながらカヌー体験させてもらい、その間に海の状況など確認して次のシュノーケルに繋いでもらえました。

絶対に見たかった亀もしっかり見れたし大満足です‼️
また、宮古島行ったら、ゆーりくんでお願いしたいです🙇

外国からのお客様もいたのですが、英語での案内もスムーズで海外の方にもとてもおすすめですよ。

Thanks to Yamachan's attentive support, I was able to enjoy snorkeling safely and happily! The quality of the photos was also high, and I highly recommend it! 👍

山ちゃんの丁寧なサポートもあり安全に楽しくシュノーケリングする事が出来ました！
写真のクオリティも高く凄くお勧めです👍

I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding!
They took a lot of photos during the activities.
We had a great time chatting about Miyako Island and local stories during the transfer, making both the activity and the journey enjoyable.
I definitely want to use this service again when I travel to Miyako Island! ⭐︎

シュノーケルとサップを体験しました！
アクティビティ中にたくさん写真を撮っていただきました。
送迎中も宮古島の話や地元の話で盛り上がり、アクティビティ中も行き帰りも楽しく過ごせました。
また宮古島に旅行する際には是非利用したいです⭐︎

Due to the approaching typhoon, I was worried about whether we could take photos on that cloudy day, but the photographer provided various ideas and captured some truly wonderful pictures. I highly recommend the moon photoshoot on nights when the moon is beautiful! The photographer was also a very kind person, and I had a great time. They taught me about posing, so I felt at ease during the shoot. Despite the questionable weather, thank you for taking such amazing photos. It has become a lifelong memory!

台風が近づいていたこともあり当日は曇天で写真が撮れるか心配でしたが、色々なアイデアを出していただきとても素敵なお写真を撮影していただきました。
月が綺麗な日には月フォトも撮っていただけるので本当におすすめです！
カメラマンさんもとてもお人柄の良い方でとても楽しい時間が過ごすことができました！ポージングなども教えていただけるので安心して撮影できました。天候も怪しい中、素晴らしい写真を撮影していただきありがとうございました。一生の思い出になりました！

My first time in Miyako Island and my second snorkeling experience was filled with anxiety, but Matsura-san, our guide, was incredibly kind and made me feel at ease! The swimming was more extensive and longer than I imagined, but he provided advice at every turn and kept an eye on our movements, allowing us to enjoy it at our own pace! Additionally, I was worried about the location change the day before and whether we would see sea turtles, but he guided us to a spot with a high chance of seeing them. Even with many other customers around, he helped us take beautiful photos safely! Even though we couldn't get close to the sea turtles right away, he patiently waited for the right moment, and we were able to take photos with the turtles successfully! The photos were delivered the same day, and the recommendations for tourist spots in Miyako Island were very helpful! Everyone, including those who weren't our guide, treated us well, and if I have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to request their services!

初めての宮古島、人生で2度目のシュノーケリング体験で不安なことだらけでしたが、担当の松浦さんがとても親切に案内してくださり安心して体験することができました！想像より広範囲で長時間の泳ぎでしたが、都度アドバイスをくださったり、私たちの動きを気にしながら動いてくださったので、自分たちのペースで楽しむことができました ！また、前日に場所変更の連絡があり、ウミガメに会えるのか不安な気持ちもありましたが、会える確率の高いスポットに案内してくださったり、他にもたくさんのお客様がいる中で、安全に綺麗に写真が撮れるよう案内してくだいました！上手くウミガメに近づかことができなくても、時間をかけてチャンスを待ってくださり、ウミガメとの写真を無事に撮ることができました！撮っていただいた写真もその日のうちに届き、その際に宮古島の観光スポットを共有いただけたこと、とっても参考になりました！担当以外の方も良くしていただき、次回宮古島を訪れる機会があればぜひ、こちらでお願いしたいです！

I participated with four friends.
Due to the typhoon, the location was changed, but we were able to see sea turtles and many fish, which was amazing.
I'm very grateful to the two young male staff members for their support.
I want to go to Miyako Island again.

お友達4人と参加
台風の影響で開催場所変更でしたが、ウミガメにも会えて、沢山のお魚も見れて最高でした。
スタッフの若い男性お二人にとてもサポートして頂き感謝です。
又宮古島行きたいです。

Although it was a light rain and somewhat strong winds, I was able to see the coconut crab and witness other nocturnal creatures, making it a very valuable experience to learn about the ecosystem of Miyako Island. Above all, the guide's explanations were clear, and I truly enjoyed the tour. I felt reassured participating in the tour knowing that I was being properly guided to where the coconut crabs were. Thank you very much!

小雨とやや強風の参加でしたが、ヤシガニにも会え、他にも夜の生き物たちの姿を目の当たりにすることができ、宮古島の生態系を知ることができてとても貴重な経験となりました。
何よりガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、本当に満喫できました。きちんとヤシガニのいるところに誘導していただき、ベテランさんなのだと安心してツアーに参加できました！ありがとうございました！

I joined Matsuura's tour by myself! The explanations were thorough, and I was able to take a lot of photos. The wind was strong, and the weather was quite rough, and I was worried since I had zero snorkeling experience, but thanks to Matsuura, I felt safe and had a great time. I enjoyed it even alone, and I highly recommend it!

1人で松浦さんのツアーに参加しました！
説明も丁寧で写真もたくさん撮ってもらいました。
風が強くかなり天候が荒れていましたし、シュノーケル経験がゼロで心配でしたけど、松浦さんのおかげで安心して楽しめました。
1人でも楽しめたし、オススメします！

I was able to take beautiful photos with the Milky Way in the background. The photographer also suggested various poses, which was fun.

綺麗に天の川をバッグに撮影していただきました。カメラマンの方もいろんなポーズを提案してくれて楽しかったです。

I still can't forget the blue of the sea in Miyako Island. I had the best experiences with both SUP and snorkeling. I definitely want to use these services again when I visit Miyako Island.

宮古島の海のブルーは今でも忘れられません。
SUP、シュノーケリングのどちらとも最高の体験ができました。
また、宮古島を訪れた際は必ず利用したいと思います。
