Miyako Island
We participated as a family of three. We had decided to definitely visit the Pumpkin Cave when we went to Miyako Island, so we signed up for the tour.
That said, there are always concerns when participating as a family with children. For example, will we be able to paddle the canoe, will we be left behind, is it safe, will the kids enjoy it, and so on—there are countless worries.
However, those concerns quickly disappeared. The tour provided one guide for every two families. In our case, it was a gentleman named Kei-kun from Osaka. Since we were from nearby, we hit it off right from the start, and he was a fun guide throughout the tour.
It took about 10 to 15 minutes by canoe to reach the Pumpkin Cave. My arms were starting to feel a bit sore, but that completely disappeared once we arrived at the cave.
Upon entering, we were immediately struck by the size of the Pumpkin Cave, which was breathtaking. We were able to go deep into the cave and truly experience the long history of the stalactites. I really think it’s a mystical power spot.
The cave is dark and there are some dangerous areas, but Kei-kun was there to smoothly support everyone. All the worries I had before joining the tour vanished, and Kei-kun took plenty of great photos for us, so there was no need to bring my own smartphone or camera. In fact, it might be dangerous to bring them.
In any case, I believe this tour is definitely worth participating in.
家族3人で参加しました。宮古島に行ったらパンプキン鍾乳洞はぜひ行こうと決めてましたのでツアーに申し込みしました。
とはいうものの、子供のいる家族での参加には不安はつきもの。例えば、カヌーは漕げるのかな、置いてけぼりにならないのかな、危なくないのかな、子供は楽しむのかな、などなど挙げ出せばキリがありません。
しかし、そんな不安はすぐになくなりました。ツアーは2家族に1人のツアーガイドがついてくれました。私たちの場合は、大阪出身のけいくんという方でした。地元が近いということで最初から意気投合し、終始楽しいガイドでした。
パンプキン鍾乳洞までは、カヌーで10分から15分くらいでしょうか、少し腕が筋肉痛になりそうでしたが、そんなことも鍾乳洞に到着すると一気に消えました。
中に入るといきなり大きなパンプキン鍾乳洞があり感動。その後も鍾乳洞の中には奥まで入ることができ、鍾乳洞の歴史の長さを体感しました。本当、神秘的なパワースポットだと思います。
鍾乳洞の中は暗くて危ないところもありますが、そこはしっかりとけいくんが円滑に全員をサポートしてくれました。ツアーに参加する前に感じていた不安は全部なくなりましたし、想い出の写真もけいくんがバッチリたくさん撮影してくれたので、自分のスマホやカメラを持ち込む必要はありませんでした。逆に持ち込むと危ないかもしれません。
とにかく、参加する価値大アリのツアーだと思います。
The staff were all friendly and created a fun atmosphere without any pressure. Even when I fell into the water and couldn't do it well, we all laughed and had a great time. There were also a lot of fish, which felt really nice. It was a bit challenging to paddle through the round rocks, and I ended up in a strange place, but the staff came to help right away. Being able to paddle in the wonderful nature of Miyako Island felt like a dream. The staff provided a lot of explanations at the beginning, which were very easy to understand. Also, the staff were really funny, and I thought I would like to come back again.
スタッフが皆フレンドリーでプレッシャーのない楽しい雰囲気でできました。うまくできず水の中に落ちても、みんなで笑ってとても楽しかったです。魚もたくさんいてとっても気持ちよかったです。丸い岩の間をサップで通り抜けるとき少し難しくて、変なところに行ってしまったけれど、スタッフがすぐに助けに来てくれました。宮古島の素晴らしい自然の中でサップができるなんて、夢のようでした。スタッフが最初にたくさん説明してくれて、とてもわかりやすかったです。また、スタッフがとっても面白い方々で、また来たいなと思いました。
The pumpkin stalactite exceeded my expectations with its impressive scale and depth. Marcy, our guide, was very thorough in her explanations during the tour and kindly shared recommendations for spots in Miyako Island. I would definitely want to request her again when I visit Miyako Island next time.
パンプキン鍾乳石も期待以上の迫力と奥行きがありました。担当のマーシーさんは、ツアー中の説明も丁寧で、宮古島のオススメスポットも教えてくれてとても親切でした。また宮古島に行く時にはお願いしたいくらいです。
I experienced snorkeling and a cave tour for the first time in Miyako Island. It was filled with new experiences, but the staff were kind and provided thorough instructions. They also kept us entertained during travel time by introducing many recommended shops and beautiful sunset spots in Miyako Island. I'm glad to have had a tour that makes me want to visit Miyako Island again.
初の宮古島でシュノーケリングと鍾乳洞ツアーを体験しました。初めてだらけの体験でしたがスタッフの方々が優しく丁寧にレクチャーくださったり、移動時間も飽きないように宮古島のおすすめのお店や夕日が綺麗なスポットをたくさん紹介してくれました。また宮古島に行きたいと思わせるツアーを経験できて良かったです。
The guides have a bit of a college student vibe, but they are very knowledgeable and kind. They share information about the sea turtles among themselves, creating a great atmosphere. By the time we reached the Pumpkin Cave, I was quite exhausted. I felt a thrill when I jumped into the sea from about 3 meters up. Overall, I had a wonderful time.
ガイドの皆さんは若干大学生ノリ的なところがありますが、大変物知りで親切です。仲間間でウミガメの居場所も教えあっており、雰囲気も良いです。パンプキン鍾乳洞まで行くと、体力的に結構クタクタになりました。最後3mくらいのところから海の中へ飛び込んだときはドキドキしました。全体的にはとても楽しめました。
We participated as a family, and it was a tour that everyone, from children to adults, could enjoy. Our guide, Kei, provided detailed information not only about the limestone caves but also about the ocean, making for a wonderful experience! At the end, we received many photos and videos taken during the tour for free. It became a great travel memory. If you go to Miyako Island, I highly recommend it!
家族で参加しましたが、子供から大人まで楽しめるツアーでした。ガイドのけいさんが、鍾乳洞のことだけでなく海のことなど細かに教えてくださり、とても素敵な時間を過ごせました!最後にはツアー中に撮ってくださったたくさんの写真や動画を無料でいただけました。良い旅の思い出になりました
宮古島に行く際は是非!!
The staff were very kind and taught us gently, allowing even beginners to enjoy kayaking and create wonderful memories. Since we went in groups, we didn't have only our own photos like in the pictures, but the staff took photos for us and showed us points with vibrant fish like Nemo, so we were able to take pictures ourselves as well. The best part was the photos taken with the drone; we were very satisfied to have beautiful videos of the ocean that we couldn't capture ourselves.
スタッフの方皆さんとても親切に優しく教えて下さり、初心者でもカヤックを楽しめ素敵な思い出を作ることが出来ました。何組かで行ったため、写真のように自分達だけの写真のみではなかったですが、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたりニモなどの鮮やかなお魚のいるポイントを教えて下さり、自分達でも写真を撮ることも出来ました。一番良かったのはドローンでの写真で、自分達では撮ることの出来ない海の素敵な動画を撮って頂けたのでとても満足です。
Thank you for joining the tour. The weather was great, and above all, we hope you come back to Miyako Island again.
ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
天気も良くて何よりでした、また宮古島に遊びにきてくださいね。
It was a lot of fun for everyone from babies to the elderly. For seniors who might be hesitant to dive, it was a great opportunity to experience the sea and see fish through the transparent bottom of the boat. The staff were very kind to the children, and in the end, we received an edited video that included footage taken from a drone, which was a wonderful experience for the whole family.
I wish I had known in advance that the parking lot would be crowded.
赤ちゃんから高齢者までとても楽しめました。
潜るのはちょっとという高齢者にも海や透明な船底からのお魚がちらっと体験できるいい機会でした。
スタッフの方も子供にとても優しく、最後はドローンからの撮影した映像を含むものを家族ごとにその場で編集して受け取れたり、体験してよかったです。
駐車場が混むことを事前に知っていたらよかったなぁと思いました。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I apologize for the parking issue. I will take it into account for the future.
ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
駐車場の件、申し訳ありませんでした。今後に活かしますね。
Snorkeling, canoeing, and exploring the limestone caves—it's the best of all worlds! We even got to see sea turtles!
The guide took us to great spots, and even though it was my first time snorkeling, he taught us patiently, which made me feel at ease!
I highly recommend it!
シュノーケリング、カヌー、鍾乳洞と全部の良いところどり!ウミガメにもちゃんと会えました!
ガイドのお兄さんが良いスポットに連れて行ってくれますし、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に教えてくれるので、その辺りも安心でした!
おすすめですー!
The guide was very polite and shared interesting stories, which made it easy to relax. Since it was a cave, there were a few places where I almost hit my head, but the guide always informed us properly, so I only bumped my head once.
ガイドさんがとても礼儀正しく、それでいて面白い話をしてくれるので気楽に過ごせました。鍾乳洞なので頭を打ちそうな場所も何箇所かあったのですが、毎回きちんと教えてくれるので1回しか頭を打たずに済みました。
I experienced this with my elementary school children. Since it was our first time, I was worried about how it would go, but thanks to the careful guidance, both of them were able to enjoy it right away. Especially my younger child felt secure because the instructor helped pull him along. There were many beautiful fish, so we could enjoy not only the SUP but also fish watching at the same time. The scenery was truly wonderful. We also took many lovely photos, making it the best memory!
小学生の子供たちと体験しました。初めてなのでどうなるかなと心配していましたが、丁寧なご指導のおかげで、2人ともすぐに楽しめるようになりました。特に下の子は、インストラクターのお兄さんに牽引してもらったので、安心でした。きれいな魚もたくさんいたので、SUPだけでなく、お魚の鑑賞もいっぺんに楽しむことができました。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです。素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただき、最高の思い出になりました!
Since it was during the period of the COVID-19 infection spread, I was hesitant about traveling until just before the trip, so I signed up after arriving at the destination.
It was our family's first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and we had some experience with snorkeling, participating with the goal of seeing sea turtles. My fifth-grade daughter had some trouble getting her snorkeling gear on properly and was a bit fussy, but the guide was great at helping her, and we were able to see the sea turtles breathing up close. In the end, we finished with smiles, and I am truly grateful for that.
The morning SUP was at a beach we had never been to before, which was refreshing, but the afternoon snorkeling might have been at a spot with better tidal conditions and a higher chance of encountering sea turtles. However, since it was a beach I had been to before, I wished we could have gone somewhere different. We gathered at 10:00 AM, and after explanations, we had about an hour and a half of SUP. In the afternoon, we changed locations and regrouped at 2:30 PM for another hour and a half of snorkeling. The guide also took photos for us and sent them later via LINE.
Next time, I hope to enjoy it a bit more leisurely and thoroughly.
コロナ感染拡大の時期でもあったので、直前まで旅行自体も迷っていたため、現地に到着後に申し込みをしました。
家族で、SUPは初体験で、シュノーケルは経験ありで、ウミガメさん目的での参加でした。小5の娘がシュノーケルが思うように装着できず、グズグズすることもありましたが、ガイドのお兄さんがうまく誘導してくれて、ウミガメさんもすごく近くで呼吸するところまで見れて、最後には笑顔で終われたので本当に感謝です。
午前SUPではじめてのビーチでしたので新鮮でしたが、午後のシュノーケルは潮の関係やウミガメ遭遇率の高いところだったのかもしれませんが、過去に行ったことのあるビーチだったので、違うところに行ってみたかったなとも思いました。10時集合で説明含めて実質1時間半ほどSUP,午後は14:30に場所を変えて再度集合でまた1時間半ほどシュノーケルでした。写真もガイドさんが撮ってくれて、後でLINEで送っていただけました。
次はもうちょっとゆっくりじっくり楽しみたいなと思います。
I was able to see sea turtles and tropical fish up close, and it was wonderful! I was surprised that I could see sea turtles so closely. I also got to try SUP, which I wanted to experience, and the water was so clear that I could see tropical fish swimming with my own eyes. The guide was kind and friendly, which made it easy to participate in the experience.
Thank you for taking so many wonderful photos!
ウミガメも熱帯魚も近くで見ることができ、
とても良かったです!
あんなにも近くでウミガメを見れるとは
思っていなかったので驚きました。
体験してみたかったSUPにも挑戦でき、
海の透明度が高いので肉眼でも
熱帯魚が泳いでるのを確認することができました♪
ガイドさんも優しく親切に接してくださり
スムーズに体験に参加できました◎
素敵な写真も何枚も撮ってくださり、
ありがとうございました!!
It was very helpful that the instructors took photos and sent them to us since we couldn't use our phones or cameras during these activities. I participated in two activities, and although the instructors were different for each, both were cheerful and friendly, which made it easy to smile for the photos. I had done SUP and snorkeling before, but the instructors explained everything clearly, so I think even beginners can participate with confidence.
これらのアクティビティは携帯やカメラを持ってできない分、インストラクターさんが写真を撮って送ってくれるのがとてもありがたいです。2つアクティビティに参加してそれぞれインストラクターさんは違いましたが、どちらも明るく気さくな方だったので、自然と笑顔で写真が撮れたのがよかったです。私はSUPもシュノーケルも初めてではなかったのですが、初めての方にもわかりやすく教えてくれるので初めての方も安心して参加できると思います。
What was originally scheduled for the afternoon was moved to early morning due to the tide.
At first, I wasn't feeling very enthusiastic, but Takuma, our guide, really got us excited, and it turned into a very enjoyable morning activity!
The canoeing was also refreshing.
If you're going to Miyako Island, I highly recommend the Pumpkin Cave!
昼からの予定だったのが、潮の影響で
早朝からに。
最初は、気分が上がらなかったのですが、
担当のタクマさんが盛り上げてくれて、
とても楽しい朝活になりました!
カヌーも気持ちよかったです。
宮古島にいくのであれば、
パンプキン鍾乳洞はおすすめですねー。
Although it was a tour, it was unusual that the guides for the SUP and snorkeling were different, but both guides were very kind and had a gentle demeanor, making for an incredibly fun time. They actively engaged in conversation and took many photos, creating lifelong memories. I was also happy to receive recommendations for spots in Miyako Island and various information about the activities. I definitely want to request them by name when I visit Miyako Island again (laughs).
ツアーなのに珍しくSUPとシュノーケルでガイドさんが違ったのですが、どちらのガイドさんもとても親切で物腰も柔らかく、めちゃくちゃ楽しい時間を過ごせました。積極的に話しかけてくださったり、写真もたくさん撮っていただけて一生の思い出ができました。宮古島もおススメスポットも教えていただけたり、アクティビティに必ず色々な情報を教えていただけたのも嬉しかったポイントです。また宮古島を訪れる際にはぜひ指名で予約をさせていただきたいと思います(笑)
I participated in a pumpkin tour early in the morning on Miyako Island for two days. The Pumpkin Cave was more impressive and mysterious than I expected. Keisan was very helpful, assisting me, who weighs over 100 kilograms, up the steep paths inside the cave, and he was always kind to the children, allowing us to have a wonderful time. When I informed them that snorkeling wouldn't be possible that day due to the children's stamina, they kindly rescheduled it for the next day (thank you!). The snorkeling the following day was led by Maashi-san, and we had a great encounter with turtles and saw many beautiful schools of fish, which made me feel enriched. I highly recommend this tour.
宮古島2日、早朝からパンプキンツアーに参加。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は、予想以上に大迫力&神秘的。
けいさんは、100キロ超の私もしっかりと、鍾乳洞の中の登り道も引き上げてくださり、子供にも常時優しく接して下さり、とてもいい時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
子供の体力から、シュノーケリングは、当日には出来ない旨をお伝えしたら、快く翌日への振り替えをしてくれました。(ありがとうございます。)
翌日のシュノーケリングも、まーしさんに連れて行って頂き、亀にもバッチリ遭遇し、キレイな魚の群れも沢山見れて、心豊かな気分になれました。
おすすめのツアーです。
For my son, who is usually quite timid, the deep water near the cave entrance and the enchanting darkness were initially quite terrifying, and he ended up crying a lot. However, thanks to the warmth of those around us and the bright and precise guidance from our guide, he was able to participate until the end without any issues. The inside of the cave was a very mystical space; I can't express it well, but it had a beauty unlike anything I've seen before, and it was a sight that purified my heart. The canoe ride to the site was also enjoyable, and thanks to our guide, my son was able to paddle well, making it a very happy experience for him. We truly appreciated this valuable experience.
As for my reflection, I wore a type of swimsuit that exposed my legs, and I noticed some scrapes afterward. If we go again, I would like to participate in leggings or clothing that covers the skin. My husband seemed to have a few scrapes on his palms as well. For those with sensitive skin, it might be a good idea to wear thin gloves while participating. I participated with glasses, but there is a moment at the end where you jump in, so those with glasses or contacts should be careful not to lose them. It seems better to participate with as little as possible. They provide life jackets and sturdy marine shoes, so even though I can't swim, it was not a problem at all. Since we participated with a child who requires a lot of attention, I decided not to bring a camera or smartphone for photos this time, but our guide took many pictures for us and sent the photo data via LINE on the same day (and for free! He even mixed in memorable photos of the surrounding flowers and scenery). I was very happy since I had given up on taking photos, and I’m grateful to have memories for my child.
If the opportunity arises, I would like to bring my son, who will be a bit older, and participate again. Thank you very much.
いつもビビリ腰な息子(低学年)にとって、洞窟入口近くの水深が深い場所や幻想的な暗さは、初めかなりの恐怖だったようで大泣きしてしまいましたが、周囲の方々の温かさと、ガイドしてくださるお兄さんの明るく適確な誘導で無事に最後まで参加することが出来ました。洞窟内はとても神秘的な空間で、、上手く表現できませんが、他では見たことのない美しさで、心が清められる光景でした。現地までのカヌーも、お兄さんのおかげで上手に漕ぐことができて、息子にとって、とても嬉しい体験となりました。貴重な体験をさせていただき、本当にありがとうございました。
私の反省ですが、脚が露出しているタイプの水着を着ていたので、終わってからいくつか擦り傷があることに気付きました。もしまた行くことが出来るならば、次回はレギンスなど肌が覆われた服装で参加したいと思います。主人は掌に擦り傷がいくつかあったようでした。皮膚がデリケートな方は、薄手のグローブなどして参加されてもよいのかもしれません。私は眼鏡で参加しましたが、最後にドボーン!と飛び込む場面があるので、眼鏡やコンタクトの方は無くさないようご注意ください。なるべく何も持たず身につけないで参加する方がよさそうです。ライフジャケットや丈夫なマリンシューズを貸してくださるので、私は泳げませんが全く問題ありませんでした。ウチは手がかかる子と一緒の参加だったので、今回は写真撮影は諦めてカメラやスマホを持って行かなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが写真を沢山撮っておいてくださり、当日中にLINEで写真データをくださいました(しかも無料!周囲の草花や景色など思い出に残る写真も混ぜてくださいました)。写真撮影は諦めていたので、とても嬉しかったです^ ^子どもの思い出に残せてありがたいです。
機会があったら、もう少し成長した息子を連れて、また参加したいです。
本当にありがとうございましたm(_ _)m
I wasn't able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, but I thought the sea would be cold at the end of the year. However, it felt warmer underwater, and I was able to play with beautiful fish.
After snorkeling, we drove to see the limestone caves. I was able to get along well with other customers on the tour, and it was a great experience. I would like to participate again.
The tour instructor was charming and seemed to have moved from the Kanto region to Miyako Island, dreaming of the sea. I had a really enjoyable time.
シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることはできませんでしたが
年末の海はさむいと思いましたが海の中のほうが温かく感じ
きれいなおさかなたちと戯れることができました
シュノーケリング後は鍾乳洞を見るため
車で移動しました。
鍾乳洞までツアーのほかのお客様とも仲良くできて
いいツアーでした、
また参加したいと思います
ツアーのインストラクターさんもかわいらしく関東から宮古島の海にあこがれて移住してきたみたいですごくたのしい時間が過ごせました
We participated as a family of four, with my first-grade daughter, fourth-grade son, and both parents.
It was a much more physically demanding experience than we expected, with a lot of swimming and movement, but it was an incredibly fun tour!
We started snorkeling at Shinjō Beach at 1 PM. The sea was so beautiful that it took my breath away, and we were able to see many fish and both large and small sea turtles!
The sea turtles showed no fear of people at all and came as close as about one meter, which left us a bit bewildered. Our guide, Taro, dove deep into the water to take a perfect family photo with the sea turtles!
Although my daughter isn't a strong swimmer yet and had some moments where she struggled, Taro kindly supported her, so she was smiling and enjoying herself the whole time. My son was also very engaged and participated actively, and the guide was great at keeping him safe while still having fun.
Next, we headed to Pumpkin Cave. Since we took a taxi to the meeting point, we were driven to the Pumpkin meeting spot by our guide's car (an additional 1,000 yen).
To get to Pumpkin Cave, we took a canoe from the beach. The guide explained how to operate the canoe, and it turned out to be surprisingly easy. My daughter rode with both parents, while my son went with the guide.
When we arrived at the entrance of Pumpkin, we swam inside. Once we stepped in, we were amazed by the untouched world of the cave, which felt like a different world!
Inside the cave, it was natural and rugged, making it challenging to enter and climb, but with the support of Taro and Kazuchan, both guides, my timid first-grade daughter and my heavier mother managed to get through!
On the way back, Kazuchan drove us to our hotel (an additional 1,000 yen). During the ride, he shared many recommendations for spots to visit, making the return trip really enjoyable. I'm already planning to go to one of those spots today!
Everyone we met during the tour was warm and friendly, making it a fulfilling day even with small children.
We are very grateful to our cheerful guides, Taro and Kazuchan, for making it such a fun day.
I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
小1女子、小4男子と、父、母の四人で参加しました。
思っていた以上にたくさん泳ぎ、体を動かすハードな内容でしたが、最高に楽しいツアーでした◎
午後13時、新城海岸にてシュノーケルからスタート。
とにかく海がキレイで感動しましたが、さらにたくさんのお魚さん、そして大小の海亀さんにも会えました!
海亀さんは、全く人を怖がるそぶりもなく、1mくらいの至近距離まで近づいてきてくれて、こちらが戸惑うほど。写真もガイドの太朗さんが海深くまで潜って、家族と海亀さんの集合写真をばっちり撮ってくれました!
娘がまだあまり泳げず、足を引っ張る場面がありましたが、ガイドの太朗さんが優しくフォローしてくれたため、娘も終始笑顔で楽しんでいました。
また、息子も常に前のめりで参加してましたが、楽しく相手をしていただきつつ、危ない場面では上手に注意もしていただき大変助かりました。
続いて、パンプキン鍾乳洞に向かいます。
我が家は集合場所までタクシーで来ていたので、パンプキンの集合場所へ、ガイドさんの車で送っていただきました。(別途1000円です)
パンプキン鍾乳洞までは、浜からカヌーに乗ります。
カヌーは、やり方をレクチャーいただき意外と簡単に操縦ができました。
娘は、父、母と3人で乗りました。
息子は、ガイドさんと一緒に乗せていただきました。
パンプキンの入り口につくと泳いで中に入りました。
中に一歩入ると、別世界で見たこともない手付かずの鍾乳洞の世界が広がっており、感動!
鍾乳洞の中は自然のままなので、入るのに苦労、登るのに苦労、とハードなポイントが満載でしたが、怖がりな小1娘、お尻が重い母も、太朗さん、そしてかずちゃんの二人のガイドさんに、フォローいただきなんとかクリアできました!
帰りは、ホテルまでガイドのかずちゃんに送っていただきました。(別途1000円)
帰りながら、おすすめのスポットをたくさんたくさん教えていただいて、本当に楽しい帰り道になりました。
早速、今日行ってきます!!
一緒に参加した方々もみなさん温かく、ハードながら小さな子連れでも大満喫の1日となりました。
爽やかすぎるガイドの太朗さんかずちゃんのお二人には、大変お世話になり、楽しい1日となりました。
皆さんにぜひおすすめしたいツアーです!
〈SUP〉
In the calm sea without waves, enjoying the wind and forgetting about work was a luxurious moment... I signed up with that feeling, but the sensation of paddling and moving forward was refreshing, and I was desperately trying to maintain my balance while paddling. The instructor taught me patiently, so even someone like me, who is not very athletic, was able to stand on the board and enjoy it. I highly recommend it even for those who are not good at sports.
〈Snorkeling〉
I was able to swim with sea turtles, and both my wife and child were very moved. The sight of the blue damselfish sparkling in the sunlight was so beautiful that I could watch it forever. When my wife got seasick while snorkeling, the instructor wisely decided to return to shore early, which was a great help.
〈Pumpkin Cave〉
It was a grand adventure.
We paddled a canoe in the sea, entering a cave from the deep water where we couldn't touch the bottom and explored the cave. At the end, there was something from the pumpkin... This is something to enjoy after participating.
Wearing a life jacket means there's no worry about drowning, but it was still thrilling. My child’s eyes sparkled at the sights they had never seen before.
All the instructors were cheerful and attentive. The photos they took were sent to my smartphone on the same day. So quick!
I was truly amazed by how incredible these people are. Thanks to them, I experienced the best day ever. I am really grateful.
〈SUP〉
波のない静かな海で風を浴びながら仕事のことを忘れてボーっとする贅沢なひと時…そんな気持で申し込んだのですが、パドルを漕いで前に進む感覚が新鮮で必死にバランスを取りつつパドルを漕いでました。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えて下さったので運動神経が鈍い私でもボードの上に立って楽しむことが出来ました。運動が苦手な方でもぜひ。
〈シュノーケリング〉
海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができ、妻も子供もとても感動してました。ルリスズメダイが太陽の光でキラキラと輝く姿はとても美しくずっと見ていられます。
妻がシュノーケリングで波に酔ってしまった際、早目に岸に帰るようインストラクターが判断して下さりとても助かりました。
〈パンプキン鍾乳洞〉
大冒険です。
海でカヌー漕いで足のつかない深さの海から鍾乳洞に侵入し鍾乳洞を探検。最後にはパンプキンからの…。これは参加してからのお楽しみ。
ライフジャケットを着用するので溺れる心配はありませんがそれでもドキドキしました。
見たこともない景色に子供が目を輝かせてました。
インストラクターは皆さん明るくて丁寧。撮影して頂いた写真は当日にスマホに送信して頂けました。仕事早っ!
本当にスゴイ人たちだなぁと驚きました。お陰様で最高の1日を体験できました。本当に感謝しております。
The day of the sea turtle snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave tour unfortunately started with quite a bit of rain. I wasn't very excited as I headed to the meeting place, but the sea was clear, and I was able to see sea turtles! Our guide worked hard to take photos for us, so I received some precious pictures that I couldn't have taken myself!
Also, the Pumpkin Cave was an unexpected activity, but it turned out to be a valuable experience. Despite the bad weather, it was a fun and memorable tour! Our guide, Yuto, was very kind and helped us get through the unexpected Pumpkin Cave tour successfully. I would love to visit Miyako Island again!
ウミガメシュノーケリングと、パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーの日は、あいにく朝から結構な雨…。あまりテンションも上がらず集合場所に行ったのですが、海は濁ることもなく、ウミガメも見ることができました!ガイドさんが頑張って写真を撮ってくれたので、自分では撮れない貴重な写真をいただけました!
また、パンプキン鍾乳洞は、まさかのアクティビティでしたが!、こちらも貴重な経験ができ、天気が悪かった分、楽しさと思い出になるツアーでした!
ガイドのゆうとさんが、親切に対応してくれたので、まさかのパンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーも、無事乗り切れました!宮古島、また訪れたいです!
I was recommended by a friend that if you're going to Miyako Island, you absolutely have to see this, so I booked the tour this time.
Since we go to the entrance of the cave by canoe, I recommend saving your energy for the return trip (laughs).
The tour guide, Kei, was very thorough in his explanations and took a lot of photos, making it a wonderful memory. I think it would be even better if you have an underwater camera.
This is an activity I would definitely recommend to anyone going to Miyako Island!
宮古島に行くなら絶対に見に行った方が良いと友人に勧められて、今回ツアーを予約しました。
カヌーで鍾乳洞入口まで行くので、帰りの体力を温存しておく事を推奨します(笑)
ツアーガイドのけいさんが、とても丁寧に説明してくれたり写真をたくさん撮ってくれたので素敵な思い出になりました。
水中で使えるカメラもあれば、尚良いと思います。
宮古島に行く方には、私もぜひオススメしたいアクティビティです!
In the morning, we went snorkeling with sea turtles! They carefully explained how to use the equipment like goggles and fins, and once the snorkeling began, they took us to various stunning spots where we could see Nemo and beautiful coral, capturing great photos along the way! We were even lucky enough to meet a sea turtle, which was said to be a rare sight!
After a break, we gathered at a different beach in the afternoon for a SUP experience! It turned out to be an amazing day filled with fun in the beautiful sea! We took lots of great photos and made wonderful memories! Thank you so much!!
まず午前中はウミガメシュノーケルに行きました!
ゴーグルやフィンなど道具の使い方を丁寧に説明してくれて、シュノーケルが始まってからはニモが見える所やサンゴが綺麗な所など色々な絶景ポイントで写真を撮ってくれました!そして見れたらラッキーぐらいだと言われていたウミガメにも会うことができて最高でした!
一旦解散し午後からは違うビーチで集合しSUP体験をしました!綺麗な海でたくさん遊べて最高な1日になりました!良い写真もいっぱい撮ってくれて良い思い出ができました!ありがとうございました!!
Starting in the morning was great, and swimming in the cold water felt refreshing. The snorkeling was wonderful as the sea was very clear with little wave action, allowing us to see turtles and fish up close, and we were able to take some lovely photos! Paddleboarding was enjoyable as I could feel the wind while paddling. It was a tour that even beginners could enjoy, so I would love to try it again when I visit Miyako Island! The tour guide was also very kind, teaching us how to use the equipment and sharing hidden spots, and they were a bright and entertaining person.
午前中からのスタートだったので、冷たい水の中で泳ぐことができ気持ちが良いです。シュノーケリングは海がとても透き通っていて波も少なかったので、亀や魚を間近でみることができ、素敵な写真も撮っていただけました♪サップは風を感じながら気持ちが良く漕げました。初心者でも楽しめるツアーだったのでまた宮古島に来た際はもう一度やってみたいと思います!ツアーガイドさんも丁寧に用具の使い方や穴場スポット等を教えてくれ、明るく面白い方でした(^ν^)
The sea was beautiful, and I was glad to see sea turtles! The cave we paddled to by canoe was mystical, and it was a precious experience! Thank you!
海もきれいし、ウミガメも見られてよかったー!
カヌーを漕いで行った鍾乳洞は神秘的で貴重な体験ができました!
ありがとうございました!
The guide Mana was really friendly and she took really good photos for us. We found so many sea turtles that day. It was really amazing. I highly recommend it even if you are a foreigner.
The guide マナさん is really friendly and she took really good photos for us. We found so many sea turtles in that day. It was really amazing. Super recommend to even you are a foreigner.
I was nervously participating, wondering if the two older ladies would drift away into the open sea in the canoe. The pumpkin was wonderful. Mr. Nakamura was also lovely. Thank you very much. Thank you, Pumpkin God, for having us.
オバサン2人、カヌーで遠洋に行ってしまわないか、ドキドキしながら参加。パンプキン、すばらしかったです。中村さんも、すてきでした。ありがとうございました。パンプキン神様、おじゃましました。
I participated with a friend. The instructor provided a thorough explanation, and we had a lot of fun on the tour. They also took many photos during the snorkeling, which we received afterward, so that was great. It was my first time in Miyako Island, but I learned a lot about the island, and during the morning snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle, which was satisfying! There were also several participants who joined alone, so I think it's fine to participate solo as well.
2人で参加しました。インストラクターの方にご丁寧にご説明いただき、とても楽しくツアーに参加できました。
またシュノーケリング中にお写真もたくさん撮っていただきそのあといただけたので、とても良かったです。宮古島は初めてでしたが、島のことも色々と教えていただき、午前中のシュノーケリングでは、ウミガメもみることができ満足です!
1名で参加させれている方も複数おり、一名で参加されても良いかと思います。
It was my first time in Miyako Island! I had a great experience with PiPi when I visited Ishigaki Island before, so I used their services again!
We did canoeing and snorkeling, and the explanations were thorough from start to finish. I really appreciated how they engaged with each customer individually! During canoeing, the instructions were clear, and they made sure to check in with everyone while we were out on the water, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves!
In snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle, which made me very satisfied! They took photos for us multiple times, creating wonderful memories! I want to visit Miyako Island again and would love to use their services once more!
初めてのの宮古島でした!以前石垣島に行った時に、こちらのPiPiさんにお世話になりとてもよかったのでまた利用しました!
カヌーとシュノーケリングでしたが、最初から最後まで丁寧な説明で、一人一人のお客さんと向き合っている感じがとてもよかったです!
カヌーをしましたが、説明もわかりやすく、乗っている間もそれぞれ回って丁寧に声掛けをしていて、楽しむことができました!シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメをみることができて大満足でした!写真を何度も撮っていただき、素敵な思い出になりました!
また宮古島に行きたいですし、またこちらを利用したいです!
