All Reviews for Water Sports

We participated as a couple.
The clear SUP experience was a wonderful way to refresh both body and mind. First, I was captivated by the beauty of the blue, transparent sea. The underwater world was clearly visible, almost like a painting. The instructor was very kind and took us to a secret beach that we wouldn't normally visit. Taking photos and filming with a drone was also a lot of fun. In the end, we received a video edited to about one minute, which is great for memories.
My husband, who usually surfs, wasn't very enthusiastic about this beginner-friendly tour, but he ended up having a great time.
With the instructor's careful guidance, I think even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind, so I highly recommend it.

夫婦で参加しました。
クリアSUP体験は心身をリフレッシュさせる素晴らしい体験でした。まず、青く透明な海の美しさに魅了されました。水中の世界がクリアに見えて、まるで絵画のよう。インストラクターのお兄さんもとても親切でふだんは行かないという秘密のビーチ？にも連れて行ってくれました。写真やドローンでの動画撮影も楽しかったです。最後に1分ほどに編集された動画もいただけました。思い出に残るので最高です。
ふだんサーフィンをしている夫は初心者向けのこのツアーにはあまり乗り気ではなかったのですが、結果とても楽しんでいました。
インストラクターの丁寧な指導があるので、初心者でも安心して楽しめると思いますので、おすすめです。

The very friendly instructor gently taught us how to paddle, and we had a wonderful time even as beginners. Although it was a day with occasional light rain and strong winds, the waves at Imugya Marine Garden were calm, allowing us to enjoy the scenery from the water. Since we were on a clear SUP, we could also enjoy the view of the underwater world while standing, which was fantastic. We were able to see clownfish perfectly. The photos and videos taken with the drone captured us enjoying ourselves against the beautiful backdrop of Imugya Marine Garden, which was truly moving. Next time, I would like to experience it on a sunny day.

とても気さくなインストラクターさんが漕ぎ方を優しく教えて下さり、初めてでも楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。時々小雨も降り風の強い日でしたが、イムギャーマリンガーデンの波は穏やかで、海上からの景色も楽しめました。またクリアサップなので、立ったままで足元の海の中の景色も同時に楽しめて、とても良かったです。カクレクマノミもバッチリ見れました。ドローン撮影していただいた写真や動画には、イムギャーマリンガーデンの素晴らしい景色の中で楽しむ自分達の姿が写されていて感動しました。次はお天気の良い日に体験してみたいです。

On March 28 at 11:00, I experienced clear kayaking at Ingyamarine Garden. When I arrived at the parking lot and made contact, a smiling staff member came to greet us in about five minutes. We first received an explanation of the overall flow, and then they carefully taught us how to paddle the kayak. Six of us participated: my 76-year-old parents, my husband, my son (5th grade), and my daughter (1st grade). We set off in two kayaks with three people each. The weather was forecasted to be cloudy, but there were moments of sunlight, making it a pleasant day. Even though it was cloudy, the sea was beautiful and had excellent clarity. We saw many blue fish and clownfish under the boat. The staff pointed out where the fish were located. As we gradually got used to operating the kayak and could move freely, it became even more enjoyable. We also found crabs on the rocks, much to the delight of both the children and adults. My son got to try a pedal kayak for a bit, which was also a first-time experience for him, and he was very happy. It was also my first time having a drone take photos. At the end, they edited a wonderful video with Okinawan music and gifted it to us. Since I have an Android, they sent it to me via LINE. No matter how many times I watch it, it’s an incredibly moving video! Initially, my elderly parents were anxious, but they said they were glad they participated and had a great time. The children, of course, also enjoyed it; it was a tour that people of all ages could enjoy. This is my best memory from Miyako Island. Thank you to all the kind staff!

3/28　11:00　インギャーマリンガーデンにてクリアカヤックを体験しました。駐車場に着いて連絡を入れると、５分ほどで笑顔のスタッフが迎えに来てくれました。最初に全体の流れの説明を受け、その後、カヤックの漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてもらいました。７６歳の両親、私、夫、息子（小５）、娘（小１）の６人で参加しました。３人ずつ２台で出発しました。お天気は曇り予報でしたが、薄日が差すこともあり、気持ちの良い天気になりました。曇っていても、海は綺麗で、透明度抜群です。船底に青い魚やクマノミなどたくさん見られました。スタッフさんが、魚がいるポイントを教えてくれま
す。カヤックの操作も徐々に慣れてきて、自由に動けるようになると、更に楽しくなりますね。岩場では蟹も見つけて、子供も大人も大喜びです。息子は途中、ペダルカヤックに少し乗せてもらいました。これも初めての体験でとても喜んでいました。ドローンで撮影してもらうのも初めてのでした。最後に、沖縄の音楽付きの素敵な動画に編集して、プレゼントしてくれます。アンドロイドなのでLINEに送ってくれました。何度見ても、ちょっと感動しちゃう最高の動画です！最初、不安だった高齢の両親も参加して良かった、すごく楽しかったと言ってくれました。子供達ももちろん、幅広い年齢層が楽しめるツアーでした。宮古島の１番の思い出です。優しいスタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

The guide was very attentive, so I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind throughout. The beautiful sea and scenery, along with the fish visible from the bottom of the kayak, were truly healing, and the time flew by! It was a wonderful memory to have footage taken from angles we usually can't see, thanks to the drone. I also appreciated the thoughtful services, such as storing our belongings in a locked box and lending us a waterproof case for our smartphones. ⭐︎

ガイドさんがしっかりついてくださるので終始安心して楽しむことができました。
綺麗な海や景色、カヤックの底から見える魚に癒されあっという間の時間でした！
自分たちでは普段見ることのできない角度からの映像をドローンで撮影いただけて、とてもよい思い出になりました。
荷物を鍵付きのボックスで預かってくださったり、スマホの防水ケースを貸してくださったりと細やかなサービスも嬉しかったです⭐︎

The staff were very kind, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I participated with my parents in their 70s, and I was worried about whether they could handle kayaking, but the staff were always attentive, allowing my elderly parents to have a great time. The clear kayak itself was fun, but the staff's consideration made it even more enjoyable. At the end, we received a video shot with a drone, and they also took many photos for free, creating wonderful memories. I can confidently recommend this tour!

スタッフの方々がとても優しく、大満足の楽しい体験をさせていただきました。
70代の父母と4人で参加し、父母がカヤックができるか心配でしたが、スタッフの方が常に気にかけて下さり、高齢の父母も思い切り楽しむことができました。
クリアカヤック自体も楽しかったのですが、スタッフの方々の気遣いで、楽しさ倍増でした。
最後にドローンで撮影した動画がもらえたり、写真も無料でたくさん撮っていただけて、良い思い出が残せました。
自信を持ってオススメできるツアーです！

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but there was little wind, making it easy to experience. The drone filming was done with a skilled impression, and the footage was sent to me that night. It became a great memory.

あいにく曇天でしたが、風も少なく、体験し易い状況でした。
ドローン撮影は手慣れた印象で、当日夜には撮影データが送られて来ました。
良い思い出になりました。

The day before, my daughter wasn't feeling well, so I was worried, but once we were in that situation, all concerns about her health disappeared.
Her first snorkeling experience was more amazing than I had expected. I never imagined there would be such wonders in the underwater world!
Thank you very much.

前日まで娘の体調がすぐれなかったので、心配でしたが、あのシチュエーションに体調不安はどこへやら。
初めてのシュノーケリングは思ってた以上に驚くものでした。海の中の世界ではあんなことやこんなことがあるなんて！
ありがとうございました

On March 24th, we participated with my husband and our two children, a university student and a middle school student, in wonderful warm weather! I was a bit worried because I heard that yesterday it was canceled due to strong winds, but thankfully, that day was fine. However, since the wind was still strong, we couldn't go beyond the bridge and had to stay within the bay.

It's a bit disappointing, but it's better than cancellation! We quickly got the hang of kayaking♪ The kids didn't get wet, but my husband and I ended up quite soaked, perhaps because we weren't very skilled. The water was clear, so we enjoyed watching the fish, and just paddling the kayak felt really nice!

When we were leaving, we received a video shot with a drone, complete with music, and I was impressed by its high quality! We also got many wonderful photos taken! Since we usually don't take pictures as a family of four, it became a great memory. I'll treasure it!

3月24日、とっても暖かく素晴らしいお天気の元、大学生と中学生の子供と4人で参加しました！昨日は風が強く昼からは中止になったとの事だったので少し心配しましたが、この日は大丈夫でした。ただ、やはり風が強かったので、橋より向こうは行けず、湾の中での開催になりました。
少し残念ですが中止よりまし！すぐにカヤックは漕げるようになりました♪ 子供達は濡れてなかったのですが、下手なのか私と主人は結構濡れました。透明なので魚を見るのも楽しめ、カヤックを漕いでるだけでもとっても気持ち良かったです！
帰るときにドローン撮影した動画を音楽付きでデータでもらえて、その完成度の高さに感動！
素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただけました！
普段4人で写真を撮る事がないので、いい記念日になりました　宝物にします！

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. Having watched SUP dramas, I had decided that I would definitely try it when I came to Miyako Island. The result was extremely satisfying! They kindly taught me how to paddle, along with tips and advice. At first, I was worried about falling, but I was able to have a lot of fun. Additionally, they took many photos, including drone shots, and the highlight reel I received at the end is a treasure I will watch over and over again! I would love to use their services again when I come back to Miyako Island!

初めてsupを体験しました。supのドラマを見ていたこともあって、宮古島にきたら必ずしようと決めていました。結果は大満足！漕ぎ方をはじめ、コツやアドバイスを優しく教えてくれて、最初は落ちることなど不安でしたが、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。また、ドローン撮影など沢山写真を撮影していただき、最後にいただいた総集編ムービーは何度も見返すほど一生の宝物です！また宮古島に来たらぜひ利用させていただきたいです！

We participated in the 9:00 plan with my parents in their early 70s and my sisters, a group of four. The temperature was around 20 degrees, and although it was cloudy, there were moments when the sun peeked through.

I was informed that there would be a call regarding the meeting place the evening before, but when it was 17:50 and I hadn’t received a call, I reached out and was told they were just about to call. Our meeting place was at Ingyamarine.

We arrived at the Ingyamarine parking lot around 8:40, as we were asked to come 10 minutes early. There were restrooms nearby, and they kindly took care of our clothes while we changed. We were also allowed to take our own photos and were lent waterproof smartphone cases.

After a brief lecture on how to use the paddle, we quickly boarded the clear kayak. Ingyamarine is a bay, so we were sheltered from the open sea, making it easy to paddle in calm waters. We got accustomed to kayaking while being shown fish points, and we even did some drone filming. I wasn’t quite sure when it was being filmed, but I waved at the drone that flew by. The drone filming lasted about 10 minutes, and from 9:30, we had free time to enjoy fish watching at the points we were shown. When taking photos with my smartphone, I found that dipping it into the water produced great shots.

The one hour was just the right amount of time, and I still had energy left to explore Ingyamarine afterward. The staff were all friendly and approachable, and my parents said they had a great time. Although there were fewer activity options due to age restrictions for those over 70, I’m glad we chose this clear kayak experience.

3/18 9:00のプランで70代前半の両親と姉妹の4人で参加しました。
気温は20度くらいで天気は曇りでしたが時々日が指すような感じでした。
前日夕方に集合場所についての電話があるとのことでしたが17:50になっても電話がなかったのでこちらから電話したところ今から電話するところでしたとのこと。私たちはインギャーマリンが集合場所でした。
10分半前にきてくださいということで8:40ごろにインギャーマリンの駐車場に到着しました。トイレはすぐ近くにあって、着替えなどは預かってもらえました。あと自分で写真撮るのとOKで防水のスマホケースも貸してくれました。
軽くパドルの使い方のレクチャーを受けてすぐにクリアカヤックに乗りこみました。
インギャーマリンは湾になっているので外海の影響を受けず終始穏やかな海で漕ぎやすかったです。
お魚ポイントを教えてもらいながらカヤックの操作に慣れていき、早速ドローン撮影。いつ撮ってるのかいまいちわからなかったですがとりあえず飛んできたドローンに向かって手を振りました。ドローン撮影は10分くらいで終わって、9:30からはフリータイムになって教えてもらったお魚ポイントでお魚鑑賞。スマホで撮影するときはスマホを海に突っ込んで撮影するとよく撮れました。
１時間はちょうどいい疲労感でそのあとインギャーマリンを観光する元気も残っていてよかったです。
スタッフの皆さんは親切・気さくな方ばかりで両親も楽しかったと言ってました。
70代以上だと年齢制限で選べるアクティビティが少なかったですが、このクリアカヤックを選んでよかったです。

I participated alone, but the instructor and store manager, Matsumoto, kindly guided me!

Thanks to him, I was able to stand on the board smoothly and didn't fall into the sea (laughs).

The weather was clear, and the ocean was a beautiful Miyako Blue!

Matsumoto was also very knowledgeable about the sea and Okinawa, and our conversations were enjoyable!

１名での参加でしたが

インストラクターで店長の松本さんが親切にガイドしてもらいました！

おかげさまですんなりボードに立てましたし海にも落下しませんでした(笑)

晴れて海も宮古ブルーになってめちゃきれいでした！

松本さんは海や沖縄の知識も豊富で会話も楽しかったです！

The clear kayak experience was fantastic! Even someone like me, an older woman, could paddle easily, and since it’s a clear kayak, I could see underwater while paddling. It was so much fun to glide smoothly and turn sideways. Plus, the staff were there to support us, which made me feel safe. We saw so many beautiful fish like the blue damselfish and clownfish, and when they showed us where their nests were, I was so happy to find them. I was really excited!

Then there was the drone photography. Wow, it was amazing! The drone flew around capturing various angles and heights, and with the professional filming techniques, we received the data right away, allowing us to relive that excitement. They created a fantastic promotional video with music that was just perfect. The photos taken were also incredible and moving. The staff were incredibly attentive and provided a wonderful and enjoyable experience. Thank you so much!

クリアーカヤック体験、おばさんでもこげるし、クリアーカヤックなので、海中も見ながらこげるし、スイスイ進んだり横に曲がったり、そんなのも楽しかったです。そして、スタッフさんがついてくれるので、安心だし、ルリスズメダイやクマノミとか、いっぱいで、巣のある場所とか教えてもらって見つけられたら、とても、嬉しいし、おばさん、テンションあがりっぱなし。
そして、ドローン撮影。いやぁ、すごいです。上から、横から飛び回って色んな角度と高度で撮っていただき、プロの撮影技術で、すぐにデーターも頂き、あの興奮をまたまた味わえました。音楽入りで最高のPVを作って頂きました。写メの撮影も凄くて感動です。スタッフの皆さん、とても、至れり尽くせりの対応で、素敵で楽しい体験ができました。ありがとうございました。

I participated as a complete beginner with my 70-year-old mother. It was easier to enjoy the water wearing sandals. I didn't bring a swimsuit, so I joined in clothes that could get wet, like my rilakko. It was no problem. You will definitely get soaked from the splashes. I thought I didn't need the drone footage, but when I saw the finished video, I was moved. The ocean is beautiful. This is an activity you absolutely should participate in!

全くの初心者で70歳の母と一緒に参加しました。サンダル履いていた方が海に入ザブザブれて楽です。水着持って行っていなかったので濡れても良い服装でリラコで参加。問題なかったです。返り水でガッツリ濡れます。ドローン撮影も要らないのになーと思っていましたが、出来上がった動画を見ると感動しました。海が綺麗。絶対に参加すべきアクティビティです！

It was a bit rainy on the day, but I had an amazing time. Even with the bad weather, the color of the sea was beautifully blue, and I could see many fish like clownfish swimming between my legs. I found handling the kayak paddle surprisingly easy, and I was able to go in the direction I wanted quite quickly. They took a lot of photos and videos from a drone, and the edited video is really wonderful; I've watched it many times. I've created a lifelong treasure. I want to go again, this time on a sunny day.

当日は小雨で、残念なお天気でしたが　最高に楽しかったです。
お天気が悪くても　海の色は青くきれいで、クマノミなどのお魚も股の間から　たくさん見えました。
カヤックのオールの扱いは、意外と簡単だと思いました。結構直ぐに、行きたい方向に行く事ができました。
たくさん　写真や　ドローンから動画も　撮ってくれて、編集してくれた動画は、とてもステキで、何度も見返しています。
一生の宝物ができました。
もう一度、今度は、晴れた日に行きたいです。

Due to bad weather from the previous day, the location was changed to Shigira Beach. The sea was calm, and there were many types of fish swimming among the coral reefs. They were very beautiful, with a variety of sizes and colors. Although the encounter rate with turtles at Shigira Beach was said to drop to 80%, at the very end, we received information that "there's one over here." We were able to see it up close while it was eating algae and surfacing for air (*^^*). We also took a lot of pictures. A guide (Komecchi) accompanied our family of four. He moved at just the right speed and occasionally asked, "Are you okay?" It was fun. Thank you very much.

I didn't feel cold in the wetsuit, but once I took it off, I was shivering, so I headed straight to a nearby hot spring.

前日からの悪天候でシギラビーチに場所が変更されていました。海の中は穏やかで珊瑚礁の間に沢山の種類の魚が泳いでいました。大きさも色も豊富でとても綺麗でした。シギラビーチはカメとの遭遇率が8割に下がるとのことでしたが、最後の最後に「こっちに居るよ。」との情報があり、藻を食べているところや息継ぎをしに浮上するところを間近で観ることができました(*^^*)写真も沢山とってもらいました。家族4人に 一人のガイドさん(こめっち さん)がついてくれました。ちょうど良いスピードで進み、時々「大丈夫ですか？」と声をかけてくれました。楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。
ウエットスーツで水は冷たく感じなかったけど、脱いだら震えるほど寒くて近くの温泉に直行しました。

I booked the morning sea turtle snorkeling course with SAP. As soon as I entered the water, I encountered sea turtles, and the staff took great photos of me with them. Meeting the sea turtles, which was my main goal, was such a thrill, and from there, I was able to swim with colorful, beautiful fish, which was incredibly moving! The staff guided us to points with lots of fish, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and marine life. Since I had experienced SAP a few times before, I was able to get on the board relatively easily, but floating in the middle of the sea while feeling the ocean breeze was the ultimate luxury. Because it was the off-season, there were no other tour guests at all, so I was lucky to have the calm bay all to myself and enjoy a relaxed experience. In the latter half, while doing SUP, the staff shared many recommendations for food and shops in Miyako Island, making it very easy to plan my afternoon activities.

Both activities had staff who were friendly, approachable, and attentive, making it easy to connect and chat! Additionally, I appreciated that they took many photos during the activities and sent them to me via LINE! I can look back at the photos later as memories. In particular, the underwater photos with the sea turtles were something I couldn't help but brag about to others. I was extremely satisfied, and I definitely want to use their services again when I visit next time. Thank you very much!

午前中のウミガメシュノーケリング→SAPというコースで予約しました。 シュノーケリングは、海に入ってすぐのところでウミガメに遭遇できしっかりスタッフの方にウミガメとの写真を撮っていただきました。最初に大きな目標だったウミガメに会えたのでそこからは色とりどりのキレイな魚たちと一緒に泳ぐことができて大感動！魚の多いポイントにスタッフの方がずっと誘導してくださり、綺麗な海と魚たちを堪能できました。場所を移動して行ったSAPは何度か経験していたので、割とすんなり乗れましたが、海風を浴びながら海の真ん中を漂っている時間が、無になれて最高に贅沢でした。オフシーズンのため他のツアー客も全くいなくて、穏やかな湾内を独占してゆったりと出来たのもラッキーでした。後半は午後から宮古島おすすめの食べ物やお店の話をSUPしながらたくさん教えてくださり、午後の行動がとてもしやすかったです。
2つのアクティビティとも、スタッフさんがラフで気さくで丁寧ですぐに打ち解けて話せました！また、有難かったのが、アクティビティ中の様子をたくさん写真に撮っていていただき、LINEで送ってくださったこと！写真は後でゆっくり思い出として見返せます。 特に、ウミガメと一緒に撮ってもらった水中写真は周りに自慢しちゃちました。大満足でしたので、是非また訪れた際には利用したいです。本当にありがとうございました！

I was anxious because I was a beginner, but the staff kindly and patiently taught me, and I was able to manage to ride. It was great. Moreover, I could see the beautiful fish in the sea clearly with the clear board, and it was fun! The drone footage was also amazing. I was surprised at how it turned out like a commercial. It became a wonderful memory.

During my trip, unfortunately, the weather was bad and strong winds caused all the marine sports to be canceled, but I had the best time on the last day when the sun finally came out. It was the most enjoyable part of my three-day stay in Miyako Island.

初心者だったので不安でしたが、スタッフさんにやさしく丁寧に教えてもらい、何とか乗ることが出来ました。良かった。しかもクリアボードで海の中のキレイな魚が良く見えて、楽しい！
ドローン撮影の動画も最高です。CMみたいな仕上がりでビックリしました。良い思い出になりました。
旅行中は生憎の天気と強風でマリンスポーツがことごとくキャンセルになり、やっと太陽が出てきた最終日に最高の時間を過ごせました。
宮古島3日間の滞在で1番楽しかったです。

Due to the weather, I requested a reservation change as a long shot, but the staff kindly agreed, allowing me to enjoy clear kayaking pleasantly. The instructors were friendly and explained how to use the paddles in detail, so I was able to paddle without any issues. They also accompanied us to spots where we could see beautiful fish, enhancing the experience. Experiencing clear kayaking in the beautiful waters of Miyako made me even more captivated by Miyako Island. I will definitely use their services again when I visit Miyako Island.

天気の都合で、予約変更をダメ元で頼んでみましたが、スタッフの方々が快諾してくださり気持ちよくクリアカヤックを楽しむことができました。
インストラクターの方々は親切でオールの使い方まで詳しく説明してくださり困ることなくカヤックを漕ぐことができた、また綺麗に魚を見ることのできる場所などを付き添いでついてくれることで体験することができた。
綺麗な宮古の海で水中の見えるクリアカヤックを体験することでより宮古島の虜になりました。
また宮古島を訪れる際には必ず利用させていただきます。

I was a beginner, but I had a great time.

Due to the weather, the location was changed, but I was able to meet a sea turtle! If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to swim a bit more. It would be great if you could offer a two-hour course.

This time, I changed into my swimsuit beforehand, but I would prefer to change back before heading home, so it would have been nice to have changing rooms and showers nearby.

The staff member in charge was Kometchi. They were very polite and attentive. Thank you very much.

初心者でしたがすごく楽しかったです。

天候の影響で開催地が変更になりましたが、ウミガメに会うことも出来ました！欲を言えばもうちょっと泳いでいたかったですね。2時間コースとか作って頂くとありがたいです。

今回は予め水着に着替えて行きましたが、帰る際はやはり着替えてから帰りたいので更衣室やシャワー室などが近くにあれば良かったです。

担当スタッフさんはこめっちさんです。とても丁寧に対応していただきました。ありがとうございました。

(I didn't bring my smartphone while snorkeling, so the photos are from SUP.)

First, about SUP: it was my first time ever on a stand-up paddleboard (also my first time on a board), but since it was held in a calm bay, I was able to enjoy a graceful time with the wind very easily.

Also, the snorkeling took place at a beach with plenty of fish and coral, which we reached by moving from the SUP venue. The terrain was typical of Miyako Island, featuring a mix of shallow and deep areas formed by deposits of coral and shells. The tropical fish and sea turtles I saw there were truly beautiful.

The staff were friendly and shared recommendations for good restaurants. If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to make a reservation with them.

The sea around Miyako Island was not murky at all; it was really beautiful.

(シュノーケリング中スマホを持っていかなかったので写真はSUPです。)

まずはSUPから、人生初のSUP(ボードも初めて)でしたが、波が穏やかな湾内での開催ということもありとても簡単に風と共に優雅な時間が過ごせました。

また、シュノーケルはSUPの会場から移動して魚やサンゴの多いビーチで行いましたが、そちらもサンゴや貝殻などの堆積物でできた宮古島らしい、浅い場所と深い場所が混在した地形が広がっていて、そこでみた熱帯魚やウミガメはとても綺麗なものでした。

お兄さんたちの人柄も良く、おすすめのご飯屋さん等教えていただけ、また宮古島に来る機会があれば予約したいと思います。

宮古島の海は濁っておらず、本当に綺麗でした。

I had never tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) before, and I was a bit scared of falling into the sea, but thanks to the careful instruction and assistance, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I love fishing, and I was thrilled to see tropical fish in the shallow areas, but I got really excited when I found good-sized fish in deeper waters (laughs). Riding a clear SUP is great while standing, but sitting down to observe the fish and enjoy the snorkeling vibe is also fun. I think even those who are not comfortable going into the water can enjoy it with family and friends.

supをやった事が無く、初めてで海に落ちるのも少し怖いなと思ってましたが、丁寧な指導とアシストのおかげで、安心して楽しめました。
釣りが好きで浅い所の熱帯魚も嬉しかったですが、深場の良いサイズの魚達を見つけてはテンション上がりました(笑)
クリアなsupは立って乗るのも良いですが、座って魚を観察してシュノーケリング気分を味わうのも楽しいです。海の中に入るのが苦手な人も家族や友達と一緒に楽しめると思います。

Stand-up paddleboarding was so much fun! It looked difficult, but once I tried it, it was really easy and enjoyable. The ocean was beautiful, and the coral really showcased the charm of Miyako Island. Snorkeling was also amazing; I got to see the clear water and even spotted a clownfish for the first time. It was wonderful! Thank you so much!

サップとても楽しかったです♪
難しそうに見えましたがやってみると
すごく簡単でたのしかったです。
海も綺麗でサンゴもすごく宮古島の良さが
伝わりました^ ^
シュノーケルも海の綺麗さ初めて
海でカクレクマノミもみれて、
素敵でした^ ^ありがとうございました^ ^

I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I was satisfied with the beautiful ocean. I think it's easy enough for those who are not good at exercising, so I recommend it!

ウミガメは見れなかったけど、海が綺麗で満足しました。
運動が苦手な方でも簡単に出来ると思うのでおすすめです！

At first, I was anxious being alone, but once the tour started, those worries disappeared. Thanks to the kind and attentive advice from the staff, I was able to participate joyfully. Also, thank you to the other tour participants for being friendly.

最初は一人で不安でしたがツアーが始まるとそんな心配もどこ吹く風＾＾
スタッフの皆さんの優しく丁寧なアドバイスのおかげで楽しく参加することができました。
また、他のツアー参加の皆さんともフレンドリーにさせて頂き有難うございました。

You can swim with turtles!
This time, I participated in the SUP & Sea Turtle Snorkeling one-day course. One thing I regret is that I thought I would wear a wetsuit for SUP, so I didn't bring a rash guard or leggings. It's better to be in a swimsuit even in winter for sunburn and cold protection. Also, if you usually wear glasses, it's a good idea to prepare a float in case they fall off. I hesitated and took off my glasses, but I regret not being able to see the beautiful sea clearly.
Putting preparation aside, the tour itself prioritizes safety and provides easy-to-understand instructions for beginners.
Ingyamarine Garden is a great spot for SUP cruising with no waves. It's interesting to go through rocky areas and over bridges. Some participants even saw rays swimming.
After lunch, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. I thought there would be turtles in the shallow water during low tide, but the turtles come from the open sea during high tide into the enclosed natural pool, so we aimed to search for them there. We swam about 200-300 meters towards the rocks and coral, but those who couldn't swim could hold onto a float while the instructor guided them. We encountered colorful fish and even Nemo. Among us, one participant spotted a turtle. When we chased it, we encountered a leisurely swimming green sea turtle and swam together for about 15 minutes. It didn't seem scared of us or try to escape.
The instructor took many photos, so if you're worried about losing your camera, you don't need to bring one. They will send the photos later via LINE.
The chance of encountering a turtle was 30%, but we were lucky.
It became an experience that we can cherish and talk about forever.

カメと泳げます！
今回、SUP&海カメスノーケル1日コースに参加。私の準備不足だったことは、SUPの時にウェットスーツを着るものと思い、ラッシュやスパッツを持たなかったこと。SUPは冬でも水着のままなので日焼けや寒さ対策はした方がいい。また、普段メガネの方は落ちた時のことを考えてフロートを準備した方がいい。迷ってメガネを外したものの、綺麗な海を鮮明に見ることが出来なかったことは後悔あり。
準備はさておき、ツアーそのものは安全を第一に初心者にもわかりやすくレクチャーしてくれます。
インギャーマリンガーデンは波もなくSUPクルーズに良い場所。岩場を抜けたり橋を超えたり、面白いと思います。参加者の中にはエイが泳いでいるのを見た人もいました。
お昼を挟んでシギラビーチにシュノーケルのため移動。干潮で浅瀬にカメがいるのかと思ったら、満潮時に外洋から入ってきた亀が閉ざされた天然プールの海にいるので、そこを狙って探すというもの。200-300メートル泳いで岩場や珊瑚に向かいますが、泳げない人はフロートに捕まりインストラクターが誘導してくれます。カラフルな魚やニモにも会えます。そんな中、参加者の一人が亀を目撃。追いかけるとゆったりのんびり泳ぐ青海亀に遭遇。15分ほど一緒に泳ぎました。人を怖かったり逃げたりもしません。
インストラクターさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、カメラ紛失の不安がある方は持たなくても大丈夫。後にLINEで送ってくれます。
亀遭遇率30%の確率でしたが、私達はラッキーでした。
いつまでも思い出を語り継げる体験となりました。

In mid-February, the waves were rough, and due to the weather and the morning time, the sun was hidden by clouds, making it even colder... I started with a feeling of anxiety, wondering if I would be able to see a sea turtle.

Even though it was cold in the water, I kept moving my legs, which made it more bearable. After swimming a bit, I didn't see any sea turtles, but the coral reefs and the small, colorful fish swarming around them were so beautiful that I forgot about the cold and the turtles, and I was captivated. I felt that this experience was worth it just for that.

Thanks to the guide's experience and intuition, while swimming and changing course, we encountered a large sea turtle swimming gracefully! It was eating algae on the coral reef, and I was able to get close enough to observe it closely. It was so moving that I wanted to keep watching it and forget the time.

That day, we encountered two turtles, which was a bit fewer than expected, but I was able to take my time and observe them closely, and seeing both large and small sizes was interesting as I could understand the differences!

I highly recommend this as one of the activities you must experience when visiting Miyako Island!

2月の中旬で波は荒め、天候と午前中ということもあり、太陽が雲に隠れているので、余計に寒い。。。ウミガメに会えるかなと不安な気持ちでスタートしました。

海に入っても寒いことは寒いのですが、終始足をバタバタ動かしているのでまだマシです。少し泳いで、ウミガメはいないのですが、珊瑚礁、珊瑚礁に群がる小さくてカラフルなお魚がとても美しくて、寒さもウミガメのことも忘れて笑、見惚れるほどでした。これだけでも、体験した甲斐があると思いました。

ガイドさんの経験と嗅覚？で、進路変更しながら泳いでいると、大きなウミガメが優雅に泳いでいるところに遭遇！珊瑚礁につく藻などを食べているところでしたが、触れそうなほど近くまで行き、その様子をじっくりと見ることができました。時を忘れてずっと見ていたいほどの感動でした。

その日は2匹の遭遇と、数としては少なめでしたが、時間をかけてじっくり見れたのと、大小の2種類のサイズで見れたので違いも分かって興味深かったです！

宮古島に訪れた際には、必ず体験してほしいアクティビティのひとつとしてオススメします＾＾

We participated as a pair. The day before was cloudy, but today it was nice and sunny from the morning. We started from a calm spot near the sea, and depending on the weather, we went out to the sea along the way. I liked the green color of the water. There is always an instructor present, so it's a safe optional tour. The meeting parking lot is small, so I think it's better to arrive early. Also, there is about a two-hour gap between the morning and afternoon tours. Since there is time for lunch, I think it's a good idea to check for places to eat in advance.

2人で参加しました。前の日は、曇りでしたが、今日は、朝から晴れで良かったです。海の近くの穏やかな所からスタート、天気次第で途中は海に出ます。海の色が、グリーンなのが良かったです。常時インストラクターが付いているので安全なオプショナルツアーです。待ち合わせの駐車場が狭いので、早めに到着するようにした方がいいと思います。それから、午前と午後のツアーの間が２時間くらい空いています。昼食の時間があるので、食べる場所を事前に確認した方が良いと思います。

I was quite anxious since I participated with my mother, who is not a good swimmer, but the guide was kind and led us well! My mother was initially scared, but she gradually became captivated by the beautiful fish of Miyako Island and enjoyed herself. Since we participated in February, it was a bit chilly, but wearing a wetsuit made it especially comfortable during snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but it was a wonderful experience to kayak and snorkel in the beautiful waters of Miyako Island.♡

今回、泳ぎが苦手な母との参加だったので不安も大きかったのですがガイドさんが優しく先導してくれました！母も始めは怖がっていましたが徐々に宮古島の綺麗な魚の虜になっていて楽しんでいました。2月での参加だったため少し寒さを感じましたがウェットスーツを着用していたのでシュノーケリング中は特に気になりませんでした。残念ながらウミガメは見られなかったのですが綺麗な宮古島の海でカヌー、シュノーケルが出来て素敵な体験になりました♡

I had a SUP experience at Ingyar Marine Garden.

Despite the unfortunate weather being a bit chilly, the guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I was able to master SUP quickly.

While enjoying SUP, I was also able to see sea snakes, rays, and clownfish among the corals, which made me very satisfied. We took photos at various spots, creating wonderful memories of the trip.

This is the best recommended experience to enjoy in Miyako Island during the winter.

インギャーマリンガーデンでSUP体験をしてきました。

あいにくのお天気で少し肌寒い環境でしたが、ガイドさんの説明も非常に分かりやすく、すぐにSUPを乗りこなすことができました。

SUPを楽しみながら、ウミヘビやエイ、サンゴの隙間からクマノミも見ることができ大満足です。
またいろいろな場所で写真も撮影して頂き旅の良い思い出をつくることができました。

真冬の宮古島で楽しめる最高のおすすめ体験です。

On the last day of my three-day trip to Miyako Island, I used this service. It was unusually warm and sunny for this season, perfect kayaking weather! The staff were kind and friendly, taking photos for us at various moments, allowing us to preserve both memories and records of our trip.

In particular, the drone footage taken for each group was edited into a video by the end of the activity, and I was impressed by their efficiency. My first experience with a transparent kayak was extraordinary; just by looking down, I could see the seabed clearly, making it a unique experience. Just as I was getting used to it, it was time to finish, and I might need to brace myself for some muscle soreness.

　三日間の宮古島旅行の最終日に利用しました。
　この季節では珍しい汗ばむような晴天、絶好のカヤック日和？でした。スタッフの方は優しくフレンドリーで折々に写真を撮って頂き、記憶とともに旅の記録も残すことができました。
　特に、グループ毎に撮ったドローンではアクティビティが終わった際には編集された動画が出来上がっており、手際の良さに感心しました。
　初めての透明カヤックは、乗り出すことなく視点を下に落とすだけで海底の様子が手にとるように窺えて非日常の体験でした。慣れた頃には終了、筋肉痛は覚悟が必要かも知れません。
