All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I was blessed with great weather and was able to encounter many sea turtles. I participated alone, so I was a bit anxious, but the mother and daughter I joined were very nice, and the handsome guide was very kind, explaining various things to us. He took us to places where we could see sea turtles, coral, and beautiful fish. I was so happy to swim with the sea turtles, and I was moved by the beautiful sea of Miyako Island and the sea turtles. They also sent me the photo data, which truly became a wonderful memory. If I ever go to Miyako Island again, I will definitely sign up for the tour. Thank you very much.

ありがとうございました。

My 9-year-old daughter and I visited Miyako Island for the first time, and we decided to join the pumpkin cave exploration and sea turtle snorkeling tour. We were blessed with great weather, with little wind and calm waves, so we felt very lucky. For two people who can't swim, entering the cave from the entrance and jumping off the pumpkin stalactite was the most challenging part. During snorkeling, we were able to see sea turtles and clownfish. It was a wonderful experience.

Our guide, Yamato, was very kind and explained various things about the scenery. During snorkeling, he held my daughter's hand and guided her, which was very reassuring. Since I can't drive, I was quite worried about what to do with our valuables and how we would get around during the tour. In the end, we were able to ride in the guide's car, and he introduced us to a popular soba restaurant for lunch, which was great. He also took many beautiful photos for us. We had a fantastic day. Thank you very much!

9歳の娘と二人で初めての宮古島、せっかくなので、パンプキン鍾乳洞探検とウミガメシュノーケリングツアーを参加しました。天気に恵まれて、風があまりなく、波もなく、すごく運がいいだと思いました。カナヅチの二人にとって、鍾乳洞の入り口から入る時とカボチャ鍾乳石から飛び降りる時は一番苦労していました。シュノーケリングはウミガメに会えて、クマノミも会えました。とてもいい経験でした。
ガイドのヤマトさんはとても親切で、景色についていろいろ説明してくれたり、シュノーケリングの時、娘の手を繋いで誘導してくれたり、とても心強いでした。運転出来ないので、ツアーの前に、貴重品はどうするのか？途中の移動はどうするのか、とても心配しました。結果、ガイドの車に乗せられて、昼ごはんは人気の蕎麦屋さんを紹介してくれて、とても良かったです。綺麗な写真もいっぱい撮ってくれました。この1日は楽しく過ごすことができました。本当にありがとうございました。

I took my mother, who was experiencing snorkeling for the first time. Since we had a guide for a small group, we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind!

We were blessed with great weather and encountered so many sea turtles, it was amazing! We even received wonderful photo data, which was the best!

My mother, who was a bit scared of the ocean, seemed to have such a great time that by the end, she said she wanted to do it again. Thank you very much! ☺️

シュノーケリング初体験の母を連れて行きました。少人数でガイドしてもらえたので、安心して楽しめました！

天気にも恵まれて、こんなにいるのかってくらいたくさん海ガメに遭遇できて、素敵な写真データまでいただけて最高でした！

海怖いかもー、と言ってた母も、終わった時にはまたやりたいというくらい楽しかったようです。
ありがとうございました☺️

Tetsu, the guide, also shares interesting trivia! Canoeing in the beautiful sea of Miyako Island is very enjoyable! The limestone caves are also mystical, and it was a valuable experience! Thank you!!!

ガイドのてつさんが豆知識なども教えてくれます！
宮古島のキレイな海でのカヌーはとても楽しいです！
鍾乳洞も神秘的で、貴重な体験でした！
ありがとうございました！！！

The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to, and the stories along the way were very interesting. During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful blue ocean. At the Pumpkin Cave, I had a precious experience in a mystical space. The final jump was also very fun. I had a great time, thank you!

ガイドさんがとても気さくで話しかけやすく、道中のお話もとても面白かったです。
シュノーケルでは運良くウミガメに出会え、とても楽しく、綺麗な青い海を堪能できました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞では、神秘的な空間で貴重な体験をさせていただきました。最後の飛び込みもとても面白かったです。
とても楽しかったです、ありがとうございました！

It's been a few years since I visited Miyako Island. I heard from a friend who used this service that it was very good, so I decided to give it a try. I was worried about various things, like the risk of my 4-year-old and 8-year-old falling into the water, but the staff were incredibly kind and supportive, so I was able to participate without any anxiety. I've done many activities during my trip to Okinawa, but I haven't encountered such kind and attentive staff anywhere else. I quickly sent the drone footage to my family, and everyone was moved by it. I'm very satisfied!

数年ぶりの宮古島。
こちらを利用した友人が、とても良かったとの話を聞き利用させて頂きました。
子供4歳、8歳連れの為、落水の恐れはないか等色々心配でしたが、スタッフの方がとても優しくフォローして下さり、不安は全くなく参加出来ました。
沖縄旅行で数々のアクティビティをしてきましたが、スタッフさんがこんなに親切丁寧な所はなかったです。
ドローンでの撮影は、すぐに家族に送りましたが皆感動してました。
大満足！

I experienced snorkeling and a pumpkin cave tour!

The sea was beautiful, and I got to see a lot of fish; it was absolutely amazing. After that, we went to Pumpkin by canoe. We were blessed by a waterfall that only appears occasionally, and it was a very special place that we wouldn't have been able to access on our own, so it was really great.

The guides were friendly and provided thorough explanations, making for a fun experience.

I will definitely repeat this when I go to Miyako Island again. Thank you!

シュノーケル、パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーを体験してきました！

綺麗な海で魚にもたくさん会えて、海はかなり綺麗で最高でした。
その後カヌーでパンプキンに行きました。
たまにしかでないという滝に清められたし、自分たちではなかなかいけない神秘的な場所なのでとても良かったです^_^

お兄さんたちもノリ良く、説明も丁寧で
楽しい経験ができました。

また宮古島に行く際には、リピートします^_^
ありがとうございました！

Thank you, Wataru!
You considered the crowds and the children's health, making it an exceptional tour.
The kids were thrilled to see the sea turtles up close and swim with them, making for an unforgettable day.
You also sent us many beautiful photos and fun videos, creating the best memories.
If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to ask you again!
Thank you so much!

わたるさん、ありがとうございました！
混雑や子供たちの体調まで考えて下さり、至れり尽くせりのツアーでした。
子供たちも間近でウミガメを見て、一緒に泳げて、興奮冷めやらぬ一日になりました
綺麗な写真や楽しい動画も沢山送っていただいて、最高の思い出になりました
機会があれば、またわたるさんにぜひお願いしたいです！
本当にありがとうございました！

They took a lot of wonderful photos.
I appreciate their kind service.
I encourage everyone to make a reservation with confidence.

素敵な写真をいっぱい撮ってくれました。
ご対応が親切で、感謝しております。
皆さんに安心して、ご予約ください。

It was my first trip to Miyako Island! Since I was there, even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I decided to participate to see the beautiful sea and fish.

I was very anxious about snorkeling until I got into the water, but as soon as I entered, I was amazed to see the clear water and colorful fish up close that I had only seen in aquariums! The guide also checked on us from time to time, which made me feel safe while snorkeling. I was so happy to encounter a sea turtle at the very end, as I thought I wouldn't see one today! I'm grateful to the guide for searching so diligently!

The afternoon canoeing and pumpkin cave experience required quite a bit of stamina, but I was able to have an experience in a mystical space that I couldn't have done on my own. Although we were a bit pressed for time, the guide was very reliable, and we were able to finish safely within the time limit.

While it's nice to relax at the hotel, I had such memorable experiences on the tour that I would like to request it again when I travel to Miyako Island! Thank you for a full day of fun!

初めての宮古島旅行でした！せっかくの宮古島なので、泳ぎは得意ではなかったのですが綺麗な海や魚が見たく参加しました。

海に入るまでシュノーケリング出来るかとても不安でしたが、入ってすぐ透明度の高い海と、水族館でしか見たことのないカラフルな魚たちを間近で見ることが出来感動でした！
ガイドさんも時々気にかけて下さり、安心してシュノーケリング出来ました。ウミガメも今日は見れないのかなと思っていたら、最後の最後に出会えたので嬉しかったです！熱心に探してくれたガイドさんに感謝です！

午後のカヌーとパンプキン鍾乳洞は、体力がだいぶ必要ですが、神秘的な空間で個人では出来ない体験が出来ました。少し時間が押していたのですが、ガイドさんがとても頼もしく、時間内に無事終える事ができました。
ホテルでゆっくり過ごすのも良いですが、ツアーで思い出に残る経験が出来たので、また宮古島に旅行した時はお願いしたいと思いました！
丸一日ありがとうございました！

It was a bit rough, but I was able to see the sea turtles perfectly! The photos were dynamic and amazing. I would like to use this service again if I have the chance.

少し荒れ模様だったがウミガメがバッチリ見れた！写真も躍動感があり最高でした。また機会があれば利用したいです

We participated in a tour for our honeymoon. Although I was a bit anxious about snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, we both had a great experience! The meeting location was different from what was mentioned in the email, but they were accommodating and drove us, which was nice.

新婚旅行でツアーに参加しました。
はじめてのシュノーケリング、サップで少し不安
でしたが、夫婦共に楽しく体験できました！
集合場所がメール内容と違ったのでそこだけ、、
しかし、車で送っていただいたり、臨機応変に対応して頂けたのでよかったです。

Our guide, Yamato, was very kind and actively communicated with us, creating a friendly atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy the tour. He provided explanations and quizzes at various points, making it a truly valuable experience that we rarely get to have!

ガイドのヤマトさんが大変優しく、コミュニケーションを積極的にとって頂いて和やかな雰囲気でツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。
所々で説明やクイズをしてくださり、滅多にできない大変貴重な経験ができました！！

We were able to see many coconut crabs that my child wanted to see. We also enjoyed observing bats, insects, plants, and the starry sky, which made us very satisfied. Thanks to our guide Yamato's detailed explanations, we had an even better experience! Having a guide with us was reassuring, and they were great at taking photos. The pictures taken by the guide were much more beautiful than the ones I took myself! If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would love to join this tour.

子供が見たがっていたヤシガニをたくさん見つけられました。
他にもコウモリや虫、植物観察、星空観察もできて大満足です。
ガイドのヤマトさんの丁寧な説明で、より楽しめました！
ガイドさんが一緒だと安心ですし、写真撮影もお上手。
自分で撮った写真より何倍も綺麗！
また宮古島に行くことがあれば、このツアーに参加したいです。

I participated because I wanted to see the mysterious limestone caves! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but it was such a fun tour that I forgot about it!

First, we took a kayak for about 10 minutes to reach the caves, and during that time, the sea was so beautiful, and there were fish swimming around!

Inside the cave, we enjoyed interesting talks about the names of the stalactites and the history of the caves!

I definitely recommend this to anyone going to Miyako Island!

神秘的な鍾乳洞が見られるということで参加しました！天気はあいにくの曇でしたがそれを忘れてしまうくらい楽しいツアーでした！

まずはカヤックで鍾乳洞まで約10分ほどかけて行くのですが、その最中も海がとても綺麗で魚たちも泳いでいました！

鍾乳洞内では鍾乳石の名前クイズや鍾乳洞の歴史など興味深いトークで楽しませていただけました！

宮古島に行く方には絶対におすすめしたいです！

I participated with my mother. It was my 67-year-old mother's first experience not only with snorkeling but also swimming in the ocean. Perhaps because the wind was strong, the waves were high, so she seemed scared and found it difficult to swim alone, but the instructor kindly helped her. We were able to encounter a sea turtle and take pictures together, creating the best memories. The couple who participated with us were also kind, and despite causing them some trouble, they treated us with warmth. I am filled with gratitude for everyone's kindness! Thank you very much!

母と2人で参加させて頂きました。
67歳の母はシュノーケリングはもちろん、海で泳ぐのも初めての体験でした。
風が強かった為か、波が高かったので、やっぱり怖かったみたいで1人で泳いで行くことが難しかったのですが、インストラクターのお兄さんが引っ張ってくださいました。
ウミガメと遭遇もできて、無事に写真も一緒に撮ることができて最高の思い出ができました(^-^)
一緒に参加したカップルさんも優しい方でたくさんご迷惑をかけてしまったにも関わらず優しくしてくださり、皆さんの温かさに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！
ありがとうございましたm(_ _)m

I was planning to book a kayak and cave tour through JTB, but it was fully booked. Just when I was about to give up, I found the clear kayak experience offered by VELTRA online and was able to sign up. I was really looking forward to enjoying marine sports! (*´σｰ｀)ｴﾍﾍ

Initially, it said the duration was 40 minutes, so I thought it would be over in no time... but it actually lasted over an hour and a half! (laughs) I was completely exhausted (my arms lost strength from paddling), and one of the participants even called from the water to ask if we could head back! I really had a great time (laughs).

Moreover, they took photos and even drone footage, which made for a fantastic keepsake. I participated with my sister and brother-in-law, and everyone said they had a lot of fun!

JTBで申し込もうと思ってた、カヤック&鍾乳洞ツアーが満員になってて、諦めかけた時にネットで見つけたVELTRA さんのクリアカヤック体験を申し込んだところ、申込みできて楽しみにしてたマリンスポーツを満喫することが出来ました(*´σｰ｀)ｴﾍﾍ
当初、所要時間40分と書いてあったので、アッという間に終わるんだろうな・・・と思っていたところ、なんと１時間半は越えていたかと(笑)ｗｗｗ
さすがに疲れはて(カヤックを漕ぐ腕の力が無くなって)、一緒に体験に参加されていた方が、海上から電話をかけてくれて、もう戻ってもよろしいですか？と問い合わせしてくれたくらい、満喫させていただきました(笑)
しかも、写真やドローンでの撮影動画まで撮っていただいて、スッゴく良い記念になりました。
姉と義兄の３人で参加しましたが、みんな楽しかった！と喜んでおります。

I went at the beginning of March. It was still a bit cold, but I was able to see sea turtles right away. They also took me to the coral, where I had an experience that I usually wouldn't get to enjoy, with many fish swimming right in front of me. I was able to take a lot of wonderful photos, and I am very satisfied. Thank you!

3月頭に行きました。まだ少し寒かったですが、ウミガメはすぐに見れました。サンゴの方にも連れて行ってくれて、目の前には沢山の魚が泳いでいるという普段では味わえない体験ができました。素敵な写真を沢山撮っていただいて、満足です。ありがとうございました！

Although the weather was unfortunate, I was very satisfied with the snorkeling as I got to see sea turtles and Nemo. The ocean was very beautiful, like a natural aquarium! Since I was there, adding the Pumpkin Cave was a great decision! It's a mystical place that you can't visit without a guide. The guide had a lovely smile, and I would love to request them again next time. Thank you, Ryoma!

あいにくの天気でしたが、ウミガメにも会え、ニモにも会えて大満足のシュノーケリングでした。
海もとても綺麗で天然の水族館でした♪
せっかくなのでパンプキン鍾乳洞をプラスして大正解！！
神秘的な世界でここはガイドさんなしでは行けない所。
素敵な笑顔のガイドさんで次の機会にもまたお願いしたいです。
リョーマさん、ありがとうございました！！

My first trip to Miyako Island. I was looking for activity tours and found out about the Pumpkin Cave Exploration Tour. I really wanted to join, so I planned my trip around this tour. Unfortunately, my original reservation (in the afternoon) was canceled... but I managed to change all my other plans and participated the next day (in the afternoon). We canoed to the entrance of the cave, swam inside, saw the pumpkin, climbed the walls to explore the cave, and then dove into the sea from the wall we climbed. It felt like a little adventure, and I had a much more enjoyable time than I had imagined! Also, the guide took commemorative photos at key points and sent the data via LINE that night. Thank you very much. Canoes, life jackets, marine shoes, and wetsuits are available for rent, so as long as you can get to the meeting place, you can participate very easily. I highly recommend this tour when traveling to Miyako Island.

初めての宮古島旅行。宮古島でのアクティビティツアーを探していて、パンプキン鍾乳洞探検ツアーがあることを知りました。ぜひ参加したいと思い、このツアーに参加することをメインに旅行を計画。当初の予約日(午後)は中止になってしまいました…が、他のすべての予定を変更し、翌日(午後)参加することが出来ました。カヌーで鍾乳洞入口付近まで行って→泳ぐように鍾乳洞内に入り→パンプキンを見て→壁をよじ登って鍾乳洞を見学→ 帰りは登った壁から海にダイブ。ちょっとした探検家気分を味わえ、想像していた以上にとても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！あとガイドさんが要所要所で記念撮影して下さって、当日夜にはそのデータをLINEで送って下さいました。ありがとうございました。カヌー・ライフジャケット・マリンシューズ・ウェットスーツなどは貸出ありなので、集合場所まで出向く手段さえあれば、すごく身軽に参加出来ます。宮古島旅行の際には、ぜひおすすめしたいツアーです。

We participated as a family of four. In the morning, we took a two-person kayak to get close to Pumpkin Cave, and from there, we entered the sea and walked into the cave. The kayaking instructions were brief, and after that, it was all about determination and spirit. After paddling for a while, we managed to pick up some tips. The current wasn't too strong, so the kids were able to reach the cave as well. Inside Pumpkin Cave, it was mystical and left a lasting impression. After exiting the cave, we kayaked back to the beach. The most physically demanding part was packing up the kayaks once we arrived at the beach.

For lunch, we took a break and then headed to the afternoon meeting point. In the afternoon, we went snorkeling. We entered the sea just a short walk from the meeting point. The water's clarity was breathtaking. We moved around while snorkeling. Towards the end of the activity, just when I thought I was starting to feel a bit seasick, we encountered a sea turtle! I was surprised to find it in relatively shallow water. We observed the sea turtle for a while, and then the activity concluded.

The guide was young but spoke kindly, which was very pleasant. I think this is a luxurious activity tour that you can enjoy for a whole day. I highly recommend it!

家族4人で参加しました。
午前中は、2人乗りカヤックでパンプキン鍾乳洞の近くまで行き、そこから海に入って歩いて鍾乳洞に入って行きます。
カヤックの漕ぎ方は簡単な説明のみで、あとは気合と根性ですかね。しばらく漕いでいるとある程度のコツはつかめるようです。それほど流れが急なわけではないので、子どもたちも鍾乳洞までたどり着けました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞の中は神秘的で、印象に残ります。
鍾乳洞から出たあとは、またカヤックで浜まで帰ります。浜に着いたあと、カヤックの片づけが1番体力必要でしたね。
お昼はいったん解散し各自お昼休憩をとり、再び午後の集合場所に向かいます。
午後はシュノーケリング。
集合場所から歩いてすぐのところで海に入ります。
海の透明度は感激ものです。シュノーケリングしながら場所を移動して行きます。
少し波酔いしてきたかなと思い始めたアクティビティの終わり頃、ウミガメと遭遇！
意外と浅いところにいることに驚きでした。
しばらくウミガメの様子を観察して、アクティビティ終了でした。
ガイドの方は若いですが、優しい物言いで、好感がもてました。
1日楽しめる贅沢なアクティビティツアーだと思います。
オススメです！

My first time in Miyako Island, I was a bit worried it might be cold, but I signed up for some ocean activities. There wasn't much explanation during the gathering for the rental of wetsuits, shoes, and life jackets, which made me a little anxious, but I managed to get by.

We kayaked close to the limestone caves and then entered the sea to explore the caves. It was crowded with other groups and tours, and we had to wait our turn, but it was a mystical experience.

It was a bit disappointing that an older guide from another tour had a somewhat harsh tone.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling with sea turtles. The guide arrived a little after the meeting time. We put on our wetsuits and moved to a nearby beach. The visibility was excellent! We could see the fish clearly.

We moved around a bit while snorkeling, and finally encountered a sea turtle.

The guide was young, but he showed concern for the participants, taking photos at various points, which was nice. It wasn't as cold as I had worried it would be, and I enjoyed the day in my rash guard.

I highly recommend this activity!

初めての宮古島、少し寒いかもと心配しながらも海のアクティビティを申し込みました。
集合から貸し出しのウエットスーツ、シューズ、ライフジャケットの着衣まではあまり説明がなく、少し不安になりましたが、まーそれなりにできました。
鍾乳洞近くまでカヤックで移動、そこから海に入って鍾乳洞へ。他のグループやツアーで、混み合っており、順番待ちがありましたが、神秘的な体験をできました。
他のツアーの年配ガイドさんが、少し強い物言いだったのが少し残念でした。
午後はウミガメシュノーケリング。
集合時間を少し過ぎてガイドが到着。ウエットスーツを来て、すぐ近くの海岸に移動。
透明度抜群！魚も確認できました。
少しずつ場所を移動しながら、シュノーケリング。
最後にウミガメと遭遇出来ました。

ガイドさんは若いですが、参加者を気遣う姿勢がみられ、写真も途中途中で撮ってくれるので、良かったです。
心配していたほど寒くなく、私はラッシュガードで1日楽しめました。
オススメのアクティビティです。

I went in mid-March. Since it wasn't yet the hot season, I was told that the coconut crabs wouldn't be very active, but thanks to our guide, we found one about five minutes into the tour, which was exciting! After that, everyone in the tour had fun spotting three more crabs, as well as finding hermit crabs and geckos, which really got us all excited.

Looking up, we were able to see a beautiful starry sky that we usually can't see, which was very soothing, and we were surprised by quite a large fruit bat. In the end, we were even sent off by an owl, which is rarely seen, making it a very satisfying tour.

I experienced excitement and emotions that I can’t find in my daily life. Thank you very much.

３月半ばに行きました。
まだ暑い季節ではないので、ヤシガニが活発に動き出す時期ではないとの事でしたが、ツアー開始５分くらいで、ヤシガニさんを見つけたのは、感激＆ガイドさんのおかげです♪
その後も、ツアー参加の皆さんと、あそこにいる〜いない〜等と楽しみながらまた３匹も見れた上に、オカヤドカリやヤモリを見つけて大盛りあがりしたり。
上を見上げれば、普段は見れないキレイな星空がたくさん見れて癒やされたり、けっこう大きいフルーツバット(コウモリ)にビックリしたり。
最後は、滅多に見れない？フクロウが見送ってくれたりと、大盛り大満足なツアーでした。

日常では絶対味わえない、ワクワクや感動を貰えました。ありがとうございました。

In mid-March, I participated in a tour that included snorkeling, canoeing, and visiting the Pumpkin Cave with my son, who was celebrating his birthday that day. The weather was cloudy. We snorkeled at Shigira Beach. Although the water felt a bit cold, wearing the wetsuit we rented made the temperature manageable. It had actually been 20 years since I last snorkeled. When I put on the snorkel and tried to swim in deeper water where I couldn't touch the bottom, I suddenly felt scared and my breathing became shallow. However, our guide, Miho, kindly encouraged me until I got used to the water, and she provided me with a float, which allowed me to swim with confidence. I learned that panicking in the ocean is the most dangerous thing. After that, I held hands with my son, who quickly got used to the water despite it being his first time, and we explored the fish among the corals (holding hands and grabbing the float made me feel secure).

We didn't see any sea turtles as they were out, but we did get to see cute clownfish up close. Even with the cloudy weather, the underwater scenery was beautiful, especially the corals. While some corals in shallow areas were dead, the deeper corals were abundant in variety (I heard there are about 300 types of corals in Miyako Island) and reminded me of the world from the movie Avatar: The Way of Water that I had watched recently.

Since I didn't rent a car, I requested a separate fee for lunch and transportation to the afternoon points. I hadn't thought about where to have lunch, so I consulted with Miho and we decided to go to Shigira Golden Hot Spring. This turned out to be a great decision; although it was a short time, I warmed up my chilled body in the hot spring and finished eating Miyako soba and taco rice by the poolside just as Miho came to pick us up for the afternoon points. During the drive, she shared various information about Miyako Island with us.

In the afternoon, the weather cleared up a bit, and we went to Pumpkin Cave by sea kayak from Boraga Beach. Kayaking through some slightly larger waves was exciting and felt amazing! Then came the cave exploration, which I had been looking forward to the most. The locals refer to it as Ryugu Castle, a sacred place, so we bowed twice before entering.

Inside, it was dark, but the water surface near the entrance glowed a mystical blue from the light coming in from outside. The entrance was surprisingly small, but inside it had depth and height, with mystical terraced formations and curtain-like stalactites as we ventured further in. I won’t spoil the details, but as a stalactite cave enthusiast, I was continuously amazed, wondering if it was really okay to be so close and to enter such a place. It became an unforgettable memory. It was a truly majestic and mysterious location. The afternoon tour was nothing short of an adventure. I was glad to participate with my child. We took many wonderful two-shot photos together during the tour, which became a lovely souvenir.

I am grateful to our kind guide Miho, who checked on us and arranged for our taxi after the tour!

(Son's impression)
Snorkeling was just looking down and breathing through my mouth while listening to the guide, and I got to observe a world like Finding Nemo! I saw Dory and Nemo too! I didn't see any dangerous creatures at all! The cave exploration was a bit scary because there was no footing, but the life jacket floated so much that even adults wouldn't sink. Floating was fun!

3月中旬、シュノーケリング→カヌー→パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーに、当日誕生日の小学生の息子と2人で参加しました。
天候は曇り。シュノーケリングはシギラビーチ。少しだけ冷たいと感じる海の中、お借りしたウェットスーツを着ていれば気にならない水温でした。実はシュノーケリングは20年ぶり。いざシュノーケルをつけて足のつかない深さに泳ごうとすると急に怖くなり呼吸が浅くなってしまったのですが、ガイドのミホさんが水に慣れるまで、優しく声をかけて付き添ってくれて、浮き輪を持たせてくれたりしたので、安心して泳ぎ出すことができました。海はパニックになるのが1番危険とのこと。その後も、初めてなのに一瞬で海に慣れた息子と手を繋ぎながらサンゴの間のお魚を見て回りました（手を繋いだり浮き輪を掴んでると安心でした）。
ウミガメはお出かけ中で会えませんでしたが、かわいいクマノミはバッチリ近くで見れました。曇りでも海の中は綺麗でした。
特にサンゴ。浅いところのサンゴは死んでいるエリアもあったのですが、深いところのサンゴは豊富な種類で（宮古島では300種類？のサンゴがあるそうです）豊かで多様な生き物に先日観た映画アバター　ウェイオブウォーターの世界を思い出しました。

私はレンタカーを借りてなかったので、お昼を食べる場所と午後のポイントまでの送迎を別料金でお願いしました。ランチをどうするか考えてなかったので、ガイドのミホさんと相談してシギラ黄金温泉に送ってもらいました。これが大正解で、短い時間でしたがシュノーケリングで冷えた身体をシギラ温泉で温め、プールサイドで宮古そばとタコライスを食べ終わった頃にちょうどミホさんがお迎えに来てくれて、午後のポイントへは、宮古島のことをいろいろ教えてもらいながらドライブ。
午後は少し晴れてきて、ボラガービーチからシーカヤックでパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。途中少し大きな波にワクワクしながらのカヤック、気持ち良くて最高でした！
そして宮古島で1番楽しみにしていた鍾乳洞探検。地元の方は竜宮城と呼んでいる神聖な場所ということで二拍一礼してから入ります。
中は暗いのですが、入り口付近の水面は外から入る光で神秘的なブルー。
入り口はびっくりするぐらい小さいのですが、中は奥行きも高さもあり、奥に行くほど神秘的な棚田型の鍾乳洞や、カーテンのような鍾乳洞があります。詳細は行ってのお楽しみで書きませんが、鍾乳洞好きの私には、こんな近くで見て良いの？こんなところに入って良いの？の驚きの連続で、一生忘れられない思い出になりました。とても荘厳で不思議な場所でした。まさに午後のツアーは冒険の一言につきました。子供と参加できて良かったです。ツアー中たくさん息子とのツーショットを撮っていただき素敵なお土産になりました。
ツアー終了後、お迎えのタクシーの手配など心配して声を掛けてくださった優しいガイドのミホさんに感謝です！　　

（息子の感想）
シュノーケリングは下向いて口で息吸ってガイドの人の言うこと聞けばファインディングニモ観たいな世界を観察するだけ！ドリーとかニモもいます！危険生物は自分が見た限り一匹もいませんでした！
洞窟探検は足場がなくてびびるけどライフジャケットが笑っちゃうくらい浮くので大人でも絶対に沈みません浮くの楽しいです。

The canoe ride to the limestone cave was very hard, but since it was something I don't usually do, I really enjoyed it. The cave was very mystical, and I was deeply moved to learn from the guide about the vast amount of time it took to form. Thanks to our guide Yamato, I felt very safe and was able to enjoy the tour. I made wonderful memories of Miyako Island.

鍾乳洞までのカヌーはとてもハードでしたが、普段やらないことなのでとても楽しめました。鍾乳洞はとても神秘的で、ガイドの方の説明を聞いて膨大な時間で作られていることを知り、とても感動しました。今回のツアーはガイドのヤマトさんのおかげでとても安心して楽しめました。宮古島のよい思い出ができました。

I participated in snorkeling for the first time, and thanks to the detailed explanations from our guide Miho, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The sea around Miyako Island is incredibly beautiful, and I felt that I definitely want to go snorkeling again if I get the chance to travel!

At first, I was quite anxious about exploring the limestone caves, but once I entered, a mysterious space unfolded before me, and soon the excitement outweighed my worries.

The view of the sea from the sea kayak at the end of the tour is likely to become a lifelong memory. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, it has motivated me to participate in another tour. If I have the opportunity again, I look forward to it. Thank you!

初めてシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、ガイドのミホさんの丁寧な説明のおかげで、安心して楽しめることができました。宮古島の海は大変美しく、また旅行できたら必ずシュノーケリングをやりたいと感じました！
鍾乳洞探検も初めは不安が大きかったのですが、いざ中に入ってみると、不思議な空間が広がっており、あっという間に不安よりも面白さが勝るようになりました。
ツアーの最後にシーカヤックから眺めた海は一生の思い出になりそうです。
ウミガメは見れませんでしたが、またツアーに参加するきっかけになりました。またの機会があれば、楽しみにして行きたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

My first time in Miyako Island and I finally got to go snorkeling!

To be honest, I was really anxious at first, but thanks to the clear explanations from our instructor, Yamato, and his thoughtful attention to each participant, I felt very reassured and was able to enjoy myself. The underwater world was a beautiful landscape of coral reefs and tropical fish, like a stunning scene from a dragon palace. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I did see clownfish, making it the best snorkeling experience ever.

In the afternoon, we went sea kayaking to the Pumpkin Cave, which was even more amazing than I had imagined. Jumping into the cave felt completely safe and was such a refreshing dive! I had an experience that words can't even describe.

Yamato took lots of photos and videos for us and sent the data the same day, which really impressed me with his quick work. Thank you so much for everything; it turned out to be a wonderful and memorable wedding anniversary.

Next time, I want to challenge myself with SUP as well. I look forward to it!

初めての宮古島で念願だったシュノーケリング
実は最初はとても不安でしたが、インストラクターの大和さんの分かりやすい説明と参加者皆さん一人一人へのお声掛けや気遣いにとても安心して楽しむことが出来ました
海の中は珊瑚礁と熱帯魚の美しい世界が広がってまるで竜宮城のような素晴らしい景色でした
残念ながらウミガメには出会う事は出来ませんでしたがカクレクマノミも観られて最高のシュノーケリングでした

午後からのシーカヤックで行くパンプキン鍾乳洞
これが想像以上の素晴らしさ
鍾乳洞からの飛び込みは怖さを全く感じる事なく気持ち良くダイブ！！
もう言葉では現せない程最高の経験をする事が出来ました

大和さんにはたくさん写真や動画を撮ってもらい、その日のうちにデータで送って頂き仕事の早さにもびっくりです
たくさんお世話になりありがとうございました
想い出に残る素敵な素敵な結婚記念日になりました

次回はSUPにもチャレンジしたいと思ってます
また是非よろしくお願いします

Yamato, our guide, was very kind! He had a wealth of knowledge about the limestone caves, snorkeling, corals, and fish, and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I had no worries at all; it was just really fun. Meeting a sea turtle was the highlight! I also got to experience this with Yacchi, who was in training, and it truly became an unforgettable and precious time! Next time, I want to join again with Yamato and Yacchi as guides when the weather is nice. Thank you so much for such a fun time! The photos are beautiful and a treasure.

ガイドのやまとさん。とても親切でした‼︎
鍾乳洞、シュノーケル、珊瑚、魚のことなど知識も豊富でわかりやすく、丁寧に色々教えていただきました。何も不安なく、ただ本当に楽しかったです。海ガメにも出会えて最高でした！
研修中ガイドのやっちとも一緒に体験できて、とにかく一生忘れられない貴重な時間となりました！次は天気が良いときに、再度やまとさんややっちのガイドで参加したいです＾＾本当に楽しい時間をありがとうございました！お写真も綺麗で宝物です☺︎

I participated on the last day of my trip. The day before, I received a phone call with directions to the meeting place, and on the day itself, I drove to the location. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the wind was calm, and the underwater scenery was beautiful.

They provided us with important points to note and instructions on how to use the oars. After that, a staff member was assigned to each group to assist us during the kayaking. They lent me a waterproof case for my smartphone, so I was able to take photos myself. Additionally, they filmed videos with a drone from above the sea and shared the data with me via AirDrop after we finished.

I was able to take very beautiful photos and was extremely satisfied. I would like to use their services again.

旅の最終日に参加しました。
前日に電話で集合場所の案内があり、当日は車で現地に向かいました。
あいにく曇りではありましたが、風が落ち着いており海中は綺麗に観れました。
注意点やオールの使い方を教えて頂き、その後1グループに1名スタッフがついてカヤック中にフォローをいただきました。
スマートフォンの防水ケースを貸していただけたので自分で写真を撮りました。また、海の上からドローンで動画撮影をしてくださり、終了後にエアドロップでデータをいただきました。
とても綺麗な写真が撮れて大変満足いたしました。また利用したいと思います。

Before participating, I had various concerns, but staff member Yamato said, "I will help you," and provided support, which made for a truly wonderful experience.

参加する前は、色々不安がありましたが、スタッフのヤマトさんが「 お手伝いします」と言ってサポートして下さったので、とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
