Miyako Island
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＾）

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！

The Pumpkin Cave felt like an adventure and was truly fun; we were able to take a lot of photos✨ It was a place I really wanted to visit, so it became a wonderful memory.
Although we encountered turtles while snorkeling, it was quite challenging to take photos, but the staff member persevered until the very last moment, and we were finally able to get some pictures! I was about to give up on getting any, so I was really happy at that moment❣️
Thank you very much.
担当のお兄さんのノリもよく、移動中も方言や植物などの話もしてくれて飽きず面白かったです！パンプキン鍾乳洞は探検のようで本当に楽しく、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました✨行きたかった場所だったので本当に良い思い出になりました。

I tried snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time! The guide was very attentive, and I was able to enjoy my time comfortably.
In snorkeling, I was able to see many fish the moment I entered the water, and I was even lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which became a truly wonderful memory.
Thanks to the detailed instructions on how to paddle and ride from scratch during SUP, I was able to enjoy it right away, and time flew by so quickly.
Thanks to everyone, I have fallen in love with Miyako Island and would like to come back again.
初めてシュノーケルとSUPをしました！

In the morning, I went snorkeling at Shigira Beach to look for sea turtles! Right from the shallow waters, there were so many beautiful fish swimming around, and it was truly breathtaking! As I swam a little further, the sea turtle I had been hoping to see swam towards me, and I was able to witness the moment it surfaced for air! This seems to be a rare experience, and I’m really glad I participated to see such a precious moment! I was very satisfied with all the photos taken. In the afternoon, I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time, and since they taught me how to paddle carefully, I was able to enjoy it while participating!
午前にシギラビーチでシュノーケル、ウミガメを探しに海に出ました！浅瀬すぐから魚たちがたくさん泳いでいてとっっっても綺麗で感動しました！少し泳いでいくと会いたかった海ガメがこちらに泳いで来てくれて、息継ぎのために海面から顔を出す瞬間まで見ることが出来ました！これはレアな体験のようですが、そんな貴重な瞬間を見ることができて参加して本当に良かったです！たくさんの写真を撮ってもらえて大満足です。午後からは初めてSUPをしましたが、丁寧に漕ぎ方を教えて頂けたので、楽しみながら参加することができました！

I participated with a friend. The instructors for the morning sea turtle snorkeling were two women, Nakamura-san and Yuki-san, who were very kind and provided detailed guidance. My friend, who cannot swim, required quite a bit of assistance, but they remained cheerful and even took pictures with the sea turtles until the end (≧∇≦).
The instructor for the afternoon SUP was a man named Jun-san. Despite the heat, he watched over everyone and taught us how to paddle on the SUP! Thanks to him, I was able to stand up by the end (^ -^)v Of course, he took plenty of pictures too ♪
This tour made me love Miyako even more, so I look forward to joining again next time!

I experienced snorkeling and SUP with this plan, and it was so much fun! Since I participated in early July during the busy season, there were about five or six other groups along with me, and we did the activities under the guidance of our instructor, Kei. Although there were quite a few people, we could swim freely in the ocean, and it was wonderful to see sea turtles and beautiful fish! We also got to take many photos with the sea turtles and fish, which made for even better memories.
Since this activity involves spending a long time in the water and on the SUP board under the sun, I think it's a good idea to bring at least a rash guard.
It became a really great memory. Thank you!
こちらのプランでシュノーケリングとSUPを体験しましたが、とても楽しかったです！
繁忙期の7月上旬に参加した為、他にも5、6組程の参加者と共に慶さん(インストラクターさん)の元、アクティビティを行いました。割と大人数でしたが、自由に海を泳ぐことができ、ウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることができたのはとてもよかったです！またウミガメや魚と一緒に写真を沢山撮って頂けて、より良い思い出になったかなと思います♪
長時間海の中やSUPのボードの上で日光を浴び続けるアクティビティの為、上だけでもラッシュガードを持参した方がいいかなと思います。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

Although we moved by car three times, it was the best tour as they chose the perfect beach each time. At the Pumpkin Cave, we went snorkeling with sea turtles, and the three guides were kind and taught us various things during the SUP course.

Since I came to the island alone, I looked for a tour that could fill my schedule. It was far more enjoyable than I expected!
I had no idea that I could actually enter and climb in the limestone cave, so it was a pleasant surprise!
Also, since I would get wet, I couldn't bring my phone, but the guide took a lot of photos for me!
Surprisingly, it was quite physically demanding, but it was a fulfilling day!
1人で来島したため、取り敢えずスケジュールを埋められるツアーを探しました。期待より遥かに楽しかったです！
鍾乳洞はまさか入って登っていけるとは事前に知らなかったので、良い意味でのサプライズになりました！
また、水に濡れてしまうので携帯は持っていけなかったが、ガイドさんにいっぱい写真をとっていただきました！

The detailed explanations and guidance made it easy for someone like me, who isn't very athletic, to paddle and I had a lot of fun! Although my husband did most of the paddling, haha. I was amazed to see vibrant and beautiful fish like clownfish even from the kayak. At the end, we received a wonderful video shot with a drone, which was even more impressive! I was very satisfied. If I have friends traveling to Miyako Island, I would definitely recommend this activity. Also, during casual conversation, I was given recommendations for great places to eat, and I went right away! The chilled Miyako soba was exquisite. It was my first time in Miyako Island, but thanks to the staff, it became a more memorable trip. Thank you very much.
丁寧に説明＆誘導していただいたので、運動音痴の私でも簡単に漕ぐ事ができてとても楽しめました(^^)ほとんど夫が漕いでいましたが笑。カヤックからでもカクレクマノミなどの鮮やかでキレイな魚を見る事ができて感動しました。最後にドローンなどで撮影したステキな動画までいただき、更に感動です！とても満足しました。宮古島に旅行に行く友人がいたらオススメしたいアクティビティです。また、雑談でオススメのお店を教えていただき早速行ってきました！冷やし宮古そば、絶品でした。初宮古島でしたがスタッフさんのおかげで、より思い出深い旅行となりました。ありがとうございました。

We gathered at 9:00 AM (Shinjiro Coast) and disbanded at 3:30 PM (Horarizumi Beach). Since I couldn't drive, I took a taxi in the morning, and for the transfers and to the hotel, I received shuttle service. It seems that taxis are hard to catch in Miyako Island, so it might be better to allow for extra time.
In the morning, we went snorkeling and encountered sea turtles and fish! I was amazed at how close I could see them. It was so beautiful. I personally have almost no swimming experience, and I could only put my face in the water by pinching my nose and closing my eyes, but I was glad I could see so much underwater.
I want to share some tips for beginners like me, as I got panicked and ended up drinking water or losing my sense of direction. 1) When clearing the fog from the snorkeling goggles, make sure to shake off the seawater well; I got a little water in my eyes at first. 2) If you laugh too much, gaps can form in the goggles, letting water in, so keep them a bit tighter. 3) Don’t overexert yourself while swimming to avoid gasping for air and inhaling water. 4) When you put your face in the water in a "attention" position and just kick your legs, you can move straight ahead more easily. 5) If you get too absorbed and keep your face in the water, you might not hear sounds, so occasionally lift your face to listen to the guide and check your position.
In the afternoon, we went to see the Pumpkin Cave. We kayaked to the entrance of the cave, and I think if you communicate with your fellow paddlers, you can make good progress (we almost got stuck a few times). The flow was: go through the entrance hole (you can't touch the bottom here) → see the pumpkin → get out of the water and climb up the cave → listen to the guide's explanation while exploring → dive from where we first climbed. Inside the cave, there were many other tour participants, and it was sometimes hard to find a place to step, but surprisingly it wasn't slippery, and I didn't fall or slip. It was cool, and I could feel the timelessness of nature; it was wonderful.
Regarding the pumpkin, here are some points to be careful about: 1) I think the path to the kayak and the sea is the maximum sunburn zone. Apply sunscreen generously. 2) When climbing the cave, a lot of water splashes on your face, which can be alarming, but try to stay calm, grab the rope, and climb slowly without rushing (I got a pretty bad scrape on my elbow because I panicked thinking, "I'm blocking the next person! Water on my face!"). It's better to take it slow or wear a rash guard. 3) When diving, I pinched my nose and closed my eyes as I fell. Since I was wearing a life jacket, I knew I would float eventually, so I stayed calm and waited until my face was out of the water.
I wrote a lot because I had quite a bit of anxiety, but I had fun from start to finish, was moved, and was very satisfied! Even though I can't swim, I gained confidence that I could do this much. If you have a real fear or trauma, that's a different story, but for those who are inexperienced and feel scared or anxious, I think it will surprisingly work out, so I recommend participating!

9:00集合(新城海岸)、15:30解散(保良泉ビーチ)でした。車の運転ができないため、朝はタクシー、間の移動とホテルまでは送迎していただきました。宮古島はタクシーが捕まりにくくなっているそうなので、時間に余裕を持った方が良いかもしれません。
午前はシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと魚に遭遇できました！こんなに近くで見られるんだ…と感動しました。とてもきれいでした。私自身泳ぎの経験がほぼなく、鼻をつまみ目を閉じないと顔を水につけられないレベルでしたが、たくさん水中を見ることができて良かったです。
パニくると水を飲んでしまったり方向が分からなくなって不安になるので、私レベルの初心者が気をつけた方がよいことを書いておきます。 ①シュノーケリングのゴーグルの曇り取りの時に海水をよく切らなかったせいで、最初少しだけ目に水が入ってしまったので、水はよく払っておく。②大きく笑うとゴーグルに隙間ができて鼻に水が入るので、ややキツめにしておく。③頑張って泳ぎすぎて息を切らして口から水を吸わないようにする。④気をつけの姿勢で顔を水につけて足だけバタバタしたら、早めに真っ直ぐ進めました。⑤夢中になってずっと顔を水につけていると音が聞こえなくなりやすいので、時たま顔を上げてガイドさんの声を聞き位置を確認する。
午後はパンプキン鍾乳洞を見に行きました。
カヤックで鍾乳洞の入り口まで行くのですが、同乗者と声をかけながら漕ぐと割と上手く進めることができるのではないかと思います。(数回座礁しかけましたが)
鍾乳洞は入り口の穴をくぐる(ここから足つきません。)→パンプキンを見る→水から上がって鍾乳洞を登っていく→ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら回る→最初登ったところからダイブ、という流れでした。鍾乳洞の中は他のツアー参加者も多く、足の踏み場に迷うこともありましたが、意外とすべりにくく、転んだり落ちたりはしませんでした。ひんやりしていて、悠久の自然を感じられて、素敵でした。
パンプキンについても、上と同様に気をつけるポイントを記載しておきます。①カヤックや、海までの道が最大の日焼けゾーンだと思います。日焼けを大げさに塗る。②鍾乳洞を登るとき、顔にかなり水がかかってビビりますが、できるだけ落ち着いてロープを掴み、焦らず冷静にのぼる。(次が詰まってしまう！顔に水が！と思って焦り、ひじにけっこう染みるすり傷ができました。落ち着いてゆっくり挑むか、ラッシュガードを着るといいと思います。)③飛び込むときは鼻をつまんで目を閉じて落ちました。ライフジャケットを来ておりそのうち絶対に浮くので、顔が水から出たと思うまで落ち着いてゆっくり耐えます。
かなり不安があったので色々書いていますが、最初から最後まで楽しかったし、感動したし、大満足です！泳げないけどここまでできたぞという自信にもなります。
本当に恐怖でトラウマがある場合は別ですが、経験なくて怖い、不安だという方でも意外となんとかなると思うので、参加してみることをおすすめします！

I may have had a bit too high expectations from the photos. I think the weather played a part as well. Also, since it was mid-July, which is high season, there were many people snorkeling, making it a bit scary to paddle, and I felt there were not many photos with just us in them (someone was always in the frame). This might be an issue related to the timing.
Additionally, there were three staff members who assisted us, and when we first took photos, one of them asked if we wanted to remove our life jackets before taking the pictures. I replied that I would like to remove them if possible, but another staff member ended up explaining things, so my request didn't get communicated, and we took the photos with the jackets on...
I was grateful that they sent the photos right after the session. For those participating, it's best to be well-prepared for sun protection!
写真で見てて少し期待しすぎたかもしれません
天気もあると思います。あと7月中旬、ハイシーズンなのでシュノーケルしてる方々も沢山いて、漕ぐのも怖いですし、写真も私たちだけの写真って少なかったように思います。(誰かしら写っている)
これは時期の問題かもしれません
あと、対応してくれた方が3名居られて、最初にお写真撮る時にライフジャケット外してから撮りたいですか？っと聞いていただけたので、出来るなら外して撮りたいです！っと答えたのですが、別の方が最終的に説明してたのでその方に伝わっておらず、そのまま撮影でした...。
終わった後にすぐに撮影したデータを送っていただけたのはありがたかったです。
参加される方は、日焼け対策は万全にされた方が良いです！
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We will take your valuable feedback into account and ensure that our staff remains focused for future tours.
大変失礼いたしました。貴重なご意見これからのツアーにいかせられるようスタッフ一同気を引き締めて参ります。

We participated as a couple, and it was both of our first experiences with snorkeling and SUP. The instructor was very clear and thorough in their guidance, and they also monitored the health of all participants, which made us feel safe during the experience! Not only did we observe the fish, but we also enjoyed explanations about them at various points, which made it even more fun.
It was great that they took photos for us, so we didn't have to bring a camera into the water. We were able to encounter a sea turtle right away, and they filmed it with us.
One thing that concerned me was that the schedule at the time of booking was significantly different from the actual schedule. It was planned to include lunch and last until around 3 PM, but it actually ended in the morning. It wrapped up sooner than expected. While it was nice to have time afterward to enjoy other beaches and sightseeing, I think it would be helpful to have a more accurate schedule at the booking stage, as some people might be preparing lunch.
Overall, I was satisfied with this tour and would like to participate again if the opportunity arises! Thank you very much.
夫婦で参加し、二人ともシュノーケリング・SUPともに初体験でしたが、インストラクターの方がわかりやすく丁寧に指導してくださり、また、参加者全員の体調を見ながら進めてくれるので安心して体験できました！またお魚を観察するだけでなく、ところどころお魚の説明付きでより楽しめました。
写真を撮っていただけるので、海にカメラを持っていかなくても済んだのも良かったです。ウミガメにはすぐに遭遇することができ、一緒に動画で撮影してくださいました。
ひとつ気になったことと言えば、予約段階のスケジュールが実際のスケジュールとは大きく異なっていたことです。各自昼食をはさみ1５時頃までの予定でしたが、実際は午前中で終わりました。思いのほか早く終わりました。その後に行きたかった海や観光を楽しめたため良かったのですが、昼食の準備をされる方がいるかもしれないので、予約の段階で、ある程度正確なスケジュールがわかると良いのかなと思いました。
総じて、このツアーは満足しており、また機会があれば参加したいと思います！！ありがとうございました。

At 9 AM, we gathered at Shinjo Beach, surrounded by shallow waters and coral, where the waves were calm and perfect for swimming. During snorkeling, we were able to see small fish hiding among the corals, and to our surprise, we encountered three sea turtles just about four minutes after starting to swim! ^_^ It was a wonderful experience. Mao, our tour guide, shared various sightseeing knowledge with us, and he was warm and attentive to every detail. I would love to experience this tour again with my family.
朝9時に遠浅で珊瑚に囲まれた海は波も穏やかで、泳ぎやすいビーチ新城海岸で集合し、シュノーケリングでは珊瑚の陰に小さな魚を見ることもでき、泳ぎ始めて4分くらいでまさかのウミガメさん！(3匹)に会えました^_^
とてもいい体験でした。
ツアーのマオさんからいろんな観光知識を教えて頂きました。暖かくて細かいところまで気を配りました。また家族と一緒にこのツアーを体験したいと思います。

The experience itself and the personality of the instructor were perfect. It was a lifelong memory. They taught us everything from the basics of snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding to helpful tips with great care. I was really happy that they took so many photos for us. I would love to use their services again, and if I know anyone going to Miyako Island, I would definitely recommend them! During the session, there was a family with children, and I saw the instructor calling the child's name and interacting with them, which made me think this would be great for families as well.
体験自体も、教えてくださる方の人柄も完璧でした。一生の思い出です。
シュノーケリング、supの基本部分から、アドバイスまで一貫して丁寧に教えてくださりました。
写真もたくさん撮っていだだけで本当に嬉しかったです。次も利用させてもらいたいし、宮古島に行く知り合いがいればおすすめしたいです！！
一緒に参加している中で、お子様連れの方がいましたが、そのお子様の名前を呼んであげたりして、仲良くしている姿を見て、家族連れの方にもおすすめしたいと思いました。
