All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I was lucky enough to participate during a break in the rainy season. Since there were only two of us at the same time due to the post-Golden Week period, we were able to enjoy ourselves without worrying about others around us.

We received a thorough explanation of safety and how to ride from the staff, and off we went! The staff guided us to areas rich in coral and fish. We were fortunate enough to meet the local resident in the cove and had a wonderful time.

Additionally, the accompanying staff took photos and used a drone to capture footage, editing it on the spot, allowing us to create lasting memories from this experience, which left us very satisfied.

This tour allowed us to see fish without having to enter the water, making it enjoyable even for us, an elderly couple who were hesitant about marine activities. Initially, I thought one hour might be too short, but it turned out to be just the right amount of time for older participants. I believe this is a recommended activity for those who want to be out on the water but are hesitant to get in.

　運が良かったのか梅雨の晴れ間に参加することができました。
GW明けもあって同時刻の参加者は私たち二人だけだったので周りを気にせず堪能することができました。
　スタッフさんから安全と乗り方の丁寧な説明を受け、いざ出港！
　スタッフさんの案内でサンゴや魚が多いところを見せていただきました。入江奥の主にも運よく会うことができ楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
また、同行のスタッフさんの撮影やドローンで撮影もあり、その場で編集して頂き今回の一番の思い出を残せることができ大満足です。
　このツアーでは海に入ることなく魚を見ることができ、年配夫婦で海のアクティビティをためらっていた私たちでも十分楽しむことができました。時間も最初は1時間は少ないかなと思っていましたが年配者にはちょうどいい時間でした。海に出たいけど入るのはやだなと思う人にはおすすめのアクティビティだと思います。

I had a great experience with PiPi on Iriomote Island, so I participated in a night tour on Miyako Island as well. We were able to find a large coconut crab, and my son was thrilled. The guide not only showed us what to look for but also encouraged the kids to search for themselves, which seemed to spark their sense of adventure.

One thing I was a bit disappointed about was that we didn't receive any commemorative photos or pictures of the coconut crab. When we were on Iriomote Island, we had some wonderful photos taken, so I assumed we would have the same this time. I guess it varies by guide. I would have been happy to receive photos of the creatures we saw as well.

Other than that, it was a very satisfying tour. I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. By the way, the photo is from the last time on Iriomote Island. This is what we were able to see.

西表島のPiPiさんが良かったので、宮古島でもナイトツアーに参加させていただきました。
大きなヤシガニを見つけることができて、息子も大喜びでした。ガイドさんが探したのを見せるだけでなく、子供達に自分で探さて冒険心を掻き立てるというのが子供にも楽しかったようです。
一つ残念だったのは、記念写真やヤシガニの写真等いただけなかったことです。西表島の時は写真を撮っていただいたのがとてもよい記念になりましたので、今回も撮っていただけるものと思い込んでしまいましたが、ガイドさんによってちがうのでしょうか。見た生き物の写真もいただければ嬉しかったです。
それ以外は大満足なツアーでした。また機会があればお願いしたいと思います。
ちなみに、写真は前回西表島でいただいた写真です。イメージとしてはこんな感じで見れました。

I participated in a morning canoeing session and an afternoon sea turtle snorkeling tour.

The day before, I received a call regarding the meeting place, what to bring, and important notes for the day.

On the day of the tour, we gathered at 10:30 at Imugya Marine Garden! The instructor was a cheerful and lively person named Kuma-kun. I was nervous since it was my first time canoeing, but I was grateful for the thorough explanations he provided. It was the middle of the rainy season, and unfortunately, the sea was murky due to heavy rain the day before, but luckily, the weather was calm on the day of the tour, allowing us to paddle smoothly to our favorite spots. I was so excited to discover how much fun canoeing can be! Along the way, we peeked into the water, navigated through narrow gaps between rocks, and even saw an eagle carrying a large fish (Kuma-kun mentioned it was his first time seeing that too). Chatting with Kuma-kun made the 1.5 hours fly by.

After that, we had a lunch break from 12:00 to 14:00, during which we could freely explore, eat at nearby shops, or visit souvenir stores.

In the afternoon, we gathered at Shigira Beach at 14:00, and the instructor was Mao-kun! He provided detailed explanations with great effort. I had done snorkeling a few times before, but I felt that he was the most thorough instructor I had encountered. In the sea, he took us to a spot where we could see clownfish, and then to a location where sea turtles were present for my long-awaited sea turtle snorkeling! I had seen sea turtles from above the water several times, but this time, they were so close that I could reach out and touch them (they stayed about 1 meter in front of me) while they were eating! I was able to witness the turtles coming up for air three times, every five minutes, and it was truly a lot of fun.

About an hour after the tour ended, they sent us many photos of the canoeing and snorkeling via LINE! This was amazing! Also, it's often difficult to take good photos while in the water, so receiving the data was really appreciated.

It was a thoroughly satisfying day. Thank you very much!

午前カヌー、午後ウミガメシュノーケリンツアーに参加しました。

前日に、当日の集合場所や持ち物、注意点についてお電話をもらいました。

当日は、10:30にイムギャーマリンガーデンに集合！
インストラクターは明るくてノリのいい、くまくんでした。
はじめてのカヌーで緊張していましたが、すごく丁寧に説明してくれたので、ありがたかったです。
梅雨真っただ中で、前日は大雨だったので残念ながら海は濁っていましたが、幸運なことに当日は凪だったので、自分の好きな場所にスイスイ移動できて、カヌーってこんなに楽しいんだ！と大興奮でした。
途中で海の中を覗いてみたり、狭い岩の間を移動してみたり、鷲が大きな魚を重そうに運ぶところをみたり（くまくんも初めて見たそうです。）、くまくんとのおしゃべりも楽しく、あっという間の1.5時間でした。

そのあと、12:00～14:00は昼休憩ですが、自由に行動できるので、近所のお店で食べたり、お土産物屋さんにいったりできます。

午後は14:00にシギラビーチに集合で、インストラクターはまおくんです！
一生懸命、丁寧に説明してくださりました。シュノーケリングはこれまで何度かしたことがありますが、今までで一番丁寧に説明してくださるインストラクターさんだな、と感じました。
海では、ニモのいるスポットに連れてってくれて、その後はウミガメがいる場所に連れてってくれて念願のウミガメシュノーケリング！！
ウミガメはこれまで海の上からは何度か見ることはありましたが、手を伸ばせば触れる近距離（目の前1mくらいのところにずっといます。）で、食事をしているところをずっと観察！！ウミガメの5分おきの息継ぎを3回も見ることができて、本当にとても楽しかったです。

ツアーが終了して約1時間後には、LINEを通してカヌーとシュノーケリングの写真をたくさん送ってくれました！これはすごい！また、海で自分で写真を撮ってもなかなかうまくは撮れませんし、データでいただけるのはすごくうれしかったです。

大満足な一日でした。
ありがとうございました！

My spouse and I stayed in Miyako Island and signed up for kayaking. Although the waves made it difficult to see underwater from the surface, the clear boat allowed us to see clearly, and the small fish were adorable. Additionally, we had a wonderful experience capturing videos and photos with a drone from above, creating lovely memories. Thank you very much! The staff were cheerful and friendly, so we would love to participate again!

夫婦で宮古島に滞在し、カヤックをやりたくて申し込みました。海面からは海中が波があるので見えにくいのですが、クリヤボートなので鮮明に見えて小さい魚が可愛かったです。また、上からドローンで動画や写真も撮っていただきとても素敵な思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。スタッフのかたも明るく陽気な方だったのでまた参加したいです！

First of all, "Thank you for the amazing experience!!" Masaki-kun, who guided us in stand-up paddleboarding with a wonderful smile and friendliness...♪*ﾟ And Jun-san, who guided us in snorkeling with abundant knowledge and reassuring support! They kindly accommodated our sudden plan changes^^* Since I participated alone, I really appreciated their efforts to keep the conversation fun and engaging throughout! If you go in a style that can get wet, they provide all the necessary equipment, so even though I can't swim, I felt completely at ease^^* I was worried about the weather during the rainy season, but there were moments when the sun peeked through, creating unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever (*^^*) I'm also grateful to both of you!! I will be returning to Miyako, so I hope to see you again then...♪*ﾟ

まずは｢最高の体験をありがとう！！｣ 素敵な笑顔とフレンドリーさで親身にSUPガイドしてくれたまーしくん...♪*ﾟそして豊富な知識と安心のサポートでシュノーケリングガイドしてくれたジュンさん！急なプラン変更にも快くご対応下さいました^^* ひとり旅で参加だったので退屈しないよう、終始楽しいお話をしてくださったり、気遣いに感謝です！濡れてもいいスタイルで行けば、必要な道具は全て貸し出してくださるので、泳げないわたしでしたけど、全て安心して委ねました^^* 梅雨でお天気が心配でしたが、時折陽が差すときもあり、一生忘れない最高の想い出が出来ました(*^^*) おふたりにとっても感謝しています！！宮古にまた帰って来るので、その時もぜひよろしくお願いします...♪*ﾟ

I participated in snorkeling and SUP!
In the morning, we gathered at Shigira Beach at 10:00 and started with snorkeling.
It was my first experience, but they explained how to use the equipment carefully, so I was able to enjoy it without any problems.
As soon as we got into the water, I was surprised to see so many fish!
By the way, even if you're not confident in swimming, you can hold on while swimming, so it's okay.

In the afternoon, the SUP experience was enjoyable as we felt the pleasant breeze under the blue sky!
We participated as two beginners, but they taught us how to handle the paddle and gave us advice, so we were able to maneuver freely in no time. It was great that we could ask questions easily and felt safe during the experience.
We also had photos taken at various points. I've been enjoying looking back at them since I got home!

I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
Thank you!

シュノーケリングとSUPで参加しました！
午前中は10:00にシギラビーチ集合でまずシュノーケリングをしました。
初体験だったのですが、道具の使い方も丁寧に説明してくれたので、問題なく楽しむことができました。
海に出るとすぐにお魚が沢山いてびっくり！！
ちなみに泳ぎに自信がない人も、捕まりながら泳ぐことができるので大丈夫です。

午後からのSUP体験は、青空のもとで心地よい風を感じながら楽しむことができました！
初体験の2人で参加しましたが、パドルの扱い方を教えていただいたり、アドバイスをいただいたりしてすぐに自由に操作できるようになりました。気軽に質問もできて、安心して体験できたのがよかったです。
写真も色んなポイントで撮っていただけました。帰ってきてからも見返して楽しんでいます！

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！

I participated in a tour to swim with sea turtles and kayak, as I wanted to swim with sea turtles on my first trip to Miyako Island. Since it was the rainy season, the snorkeling at the first location, Shinjo Beach, started with rain. However, as soon as we entered the water, the instructor found a sea turtle, and we were able to swim together. At the end, a large turtle appeared, which was quite impressive. We took a lot of photos, and they sent them to me later via LINE. We then moved to Imugya Marine Garden, where I was taught how to paddle, and even as a beginner, I was able to paddle smoothly. I want to see the sunlit sea of Miyako Island, so I plan to try again.

初めての宮古島旅行でウミガメと泳いでみたく
カヌーとウミガメと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
梅雨ということもあり最初の新城海岸でのシュノーケルは雨から始まりました。でも海に入ってすぐに
インストラクターの方がウミガメを見つけてくれて
一緒に泳ぐことができました。最後に大きな亀さんが現れてくれて迫力ありました。
写真もいっぱい撮って頂き後でLINEで送ってもらいました。
場所を移動しイムギャーマリンガーデンに移動して漕ぎ方を教えてもらい初めてでもスムーズに漕ぐことが出来ました。太陽でいっぱいの宮古島の海が見てみたいので
またリベンジしたいと思います。

On the day of the shoot, there were many clouds, but we persevered until they moved, and I was able to take some really wonderful photos. Additionally, the waiting time while the clouds shifted was enjoyable as I got to hear various interesting stories. If you have any requests for poses, you can shoot in your preferred style, so I think it's a good idea to consider any requests in advance. The shooting location was at a golf course, and the parking area was a bit hard to find, but if you're unsure, you can call the staff, and they will kindly guide you. Also, since the shoot took place in a completely dark area without streetlights, it was convenient to bring a flashlight or something similar.

I highly recommend this tour.

当日は雲が多かったのですが、
雲が移動するまで粘って撮影して頂き、
とても素敵な写真を撮影していただけました。
また、雲が移動するまでの待ち時間も
色々と面白い話が聞けて楽しかったです。
また、撮影ポーズなどもリクエストがあれば、
好みのポーズで撮影することが出来るため
何かリクエストがあれば事前に検討しておくのもいいと思いました。
撮影場所がゴルフ場となっており
駐車場所か少し分かりにくかったのですが、
わからなければスタッフの方に電話をすれば
丁寧に教えて頂けます。
また、街灯がない真っ暗な場所で撮影をするため
懐中電灯など持って行くと便利でした。

とてもおすすめのツアーです。

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave and Sea Turtle Snorkeling Tour. Since it was during the rainy season, the weather wasn't great, but I was able to see sea turtles. It was truly a happy time ^_^ The handsome staff member, Taro, really made the tour enjoyable. Thank you very much ^_^

パンプキン鍾乳洞とウミガメシュノーケリングツアーに参加いたしました。梅雨と言うこともあり、天気は、良く無かったんですが、ウミガメに会うことができました。ほんとうに幸せな時間でした^_^
イケメンスタッフの太郎さんが盛り上げてくださり、ほんとうに楽しいツアーでした。ありがとうございました^_^

I was really worried about the weather, but somehow I was able to go!
In the end, I even got to see a sea turtle (^ ^)
This was my second time on this tour, and it was fun!
Thank you to our turtle guide as well!

天気がすごく心配でしたがどうにか行けました！
最後の最後で海亀にも会えました(^ ^)
このツアー二回目なのですが、楽しかったです！
担当亀さんもありがとうございます！

It was more fun than I imagined! I want to do it again when I go to Miyako Island! I think the weather is important, so I'm glad we could do it on a sunny day! The guide was also an interesting person, which made it even better!

想像を超えて楽しかったです！また宮古島に行った際はやりたいと思いました！
天気も重要だと思うので、晴れてる日に出来てよかったです！ガイドさんも面白い人でそれもまたよかったなと思いました！

I participated in a clear kayak tour (^^)

■ Drone Photography
I was informed that drone photography wouldn't be possible in case of rain, but they managed to fly the drone during a brief moment of sunshine and captured some wonderful videos for us (^^)

It's great that we received the photos and videos right after the tour! Plus, there's an edited version available too!

■ Location
It was said to be an ideal spot for snorkeling, and the sea was calm. I was very satisfied with the ample free time we had (^^)

■ Clear Kayak
While it doesn't look as clear as underwater goggles, you can see the sea and fish directly below you, making you feel one with the ocean!

And if you're getting photos taken with the drone, the clear kayak really stands out in pictures (^^)

■ Staff
The staff were friendly and provided clear explanations, making the experience enjoyable (^_^)

クリアカヤックツアーに参加(^^)

■ドローン撮影
雨の場合はドローン撮影はできないとの事でしたが、少しの晴れ間にドローンを飛ばしてくれて素敵な動画を撮ってもらえました(^^)

終了後、すぐに写真や映像をもらえるのもGood！しかも編集バージョンもある！

■ロケーション
シュノーケリングにも最適な場所ということで、海も穏やかでした。自由時間もゆったりとらせて頂き大満足(^^)

■クリアカヤック
水中眼鏡のようにはっきりクリアには見えませんが、真下を見ると海と魚は確認でき、気分は海と一体になれます！

そしてドローンで撮ってもらうならクリアが写真映えします(^^)

■スタッフ
わかりやすい説明とフレンドリーなキャラクターのお兄さんたちでした(^_^

The female guide was friendly and provided a thorough tour, which was great!

I was very satisfied with the beautiful photos she took!

The inside of the cave was truly mystical and a wonderful place.

It was an amazing tour where I could also experience purification and feel the greatness of nature!

We canoed to the entrance of the cave, and the exploration lasted about three hours, which was just the right amount of time—not too short and not too long.

I was very satisfied with the content of the tour and had no complaints, but...

During Golden Week, it had been raining for two days prior, and there were quite a lot of people in the cave, including those from other tours, which was disappointing...

Since it's a sacred and wonderful place, I think the tour company should consider limiting the number of people allowed in per day for safety and to protect the cave.

女性のガイドさんで、気さくな方で案内もしっかりして下さってとても良かったです^_^

写真も素敵に撮っていただいて大満足！

鍾乳洞の中は、本当に神秘的で素晴らしい場所でした。

お清め体験もできたり、自然の偉大さ感じられるほんとうに素晴らしいツアーでした！

カヌーで鍾乳洞の入口まで行って、鍾乳洞探検と
3時間程度で短すぎず、長すぎずなちょうど良い内容でした。

ツアーの内容自体は、大満足で言うことなかったのですが、

GW中、2日前まで雨が続いていたこともあってか、他のツアーの方も含めると洞窟内にかなりの人がいて、人だらけだったのは残念でした。。。

神聖で素晴らしい場所なので、ツアー会社で協議して、1日に入れる人数を制限したりした方が良いんじゃないかなと思いました。
安全面や鍾乳洞の保護のためにも…

We were blessed with good weather and headed towards the entrance of a sea cave by kayaking. There were some waves, but as we got used to them, it became enjoyable. We entered one by one, timing it with the waves. Inside was much larger than I expected—I'd love for you to see it for yourself and be amazed. I've visited many caves, but being able to swim and climb in a place that actually has a pool was truly a rare experience. Our female guide, Nakamura, was strong and reliable, and she took many beautiful photos for us. Thank you! I want to go again.

天気にも恵まれ、カヤックを漕いで海に開いた鍾乳洞の入り口に向かいます　ちょっと波があったけどだんだんそれも楽しくなったころ到着　波のタイミングで一人づつ中に入っていきます　中は思っていたより広く〜〜あとは是非自分の目で見て驚いて欲しいです　鍾乳洞はあちこち行きましたが実際にプールになっているところを泳いだり、登ったりできるなんてほんとに貴重な体験でした　女性ガイドのナカムラさん、力持ちで頼もしく写真も綺麗にたくさん撮っていただきました　ありがとうございます　また行きたいです

The staff was very kind and friendly, and I had a lot of fun and made great memories! I'm not very good at swimming, but they swam close by, which made me feel safe! I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see right away, and I got to see many of them (*^^*) They also took me to beautiful coral spots, making for a very fulfilling and enjoyable time. The photos they took were incredibly beautiful, and I’m really glad I asked for their help! I would love to request their services again when I visit Miyako Island. Thank you very much!

とても親切で気さくなスタッフの方でとても楽しく良い思い出ができました！泳ぐのはあまり得意ではない私ですが、近くでしっかり見ながら泳いでくれるので安心しました！
念願のウミガメにもすぐに会うことができ、沢山のウミガメを見ることができました(*^^*) サンゴが綺麗なスポットにも案内してくれたり、とても充実して楽しい時間でした。撮ってくれた写真ますごく綺麗で良い写真ばかりで、本当にこちらでお願いして良かったです！また宮古島に行く際はお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました！

This year's Golden Week started off with Miyako Island entering the rainy season earlier than usual, and I was considering canceling my tour due to the daily rain forecast. However, just the day before the tour, the weather forecast changed to sunny! The tour guide called to confirm the meeting place and said, "I'm glad it looks like it will be sunny," which really boosted my excitement!

On the day of the tour, there was no wind and the weather was fantastic. We were able to go out to sea and saw clownfish, beautiful blue fish, and lots of coral. The guide pointed out where the fish were, which was a huge help since I didn't have to keep bending my neck to look underwater (I heard that looking down for too long can make you feel seasick). The photos taken with the drone and GoPro were stunning and became wonderful memories of my trip to Miyako Island!

今年のGWは例年に比べて早く宮古島が梅雨入りとなってしまい毎日雨予報で、ツアーはキャンセルしようかな、、、と思っていたのですが。なんとツアー前日に天気予報が変わり晴れ予報に！！ツアーのガイドさんから前日に集合場所確認の電話があるのですが、その際に「晴れそうでよかったですね」と声をかけてくださって楽しみな気持ちがどんどん増していきました！
当日は風もなくとても良いお天気で、沖の方まで出る事が出来て、ニモや綺麗な青いお魚、サンゴがたくさんみれました。
お魚がいる場所をガイドさんが教えてくれるので、首をずっと曲げて海中を探す必要がなく助かりました（ずっと下を向いてると酔ってしまうそうです）
ドローンやGoProで撮影してくださった写真はとてもきれいで宮古島旅行の良い思い出になりました！

It was my first time snorkeling with sea turtles, but our guide, Kometchi, made it so enjoyable that the time flew by✨ I got to see sea turtles three times and even spotted Nemo, so I was very satisfied. Thank you so much, Kometchi!

はじめてのウミガメシュノーケリングだったけど、ガイドのこめっちが楽しく案内してくれてあっという間でした✨ウミガメにも3回会えて、ニモも見れて大満足ですこめっちありがとーーーう

In the middle of Golden Week, we unexpectedly entered the rainy season. On the day I was looking forward to kayaking, it was canceled due to a thunderstorm. I appreciated the thorough and clear explanation regarding the safety considerations, which made me feel confident in their decision. Since the forecast was sunny for the next day, they prioritized my request for a reschedule. The communication was very polite, leaving a great impression.

Fortunately, the next day was sunny, and we were able to go on the kayaking tour. The sea was calm, and the water clarity was exceptional; we saw many fish. Since I was with my children, who are in elementary and middle school, as well as my mother (71 years old), the easy-to-understand explanations and the kindness of the staff were greatly appreciated.

We were lucky to have clear weather, and they even helped us with drone filming and created a short movie, which we received as data by the time we were leaving. What started as a disappointing trip to Miyako due to continuous rain turned into wonderful memories thanks to this tour on the last day.

I definitely want to request their services again next time. Thank you very much!

GW真っ只中でまさかの梅雨入り。
楽しみにしていたカヤック当日、雷雨で中止になりました。
安全第一を考えていただいたいる事への説明も丁寧で分かりやすかったので信頼が持てました。翌日が晴れ予報だったため、優先的に変更希望を取っていただきました。連絡もとても丁寧で印象がとても良かったです。
幸運にも翌日晴れだったので、カヤックツアーができました。海面も穏やかで透明度も抜群、魚達もたくさん見れました。小中学生の子供達と、私の母(71歳)も一緒だったので、興味を引く分かりやすい説明と、スタッフの方達の親切さがとてもありがたかったです。
幸運にも晴れたので、ドローン撮影、そしてショートムービーまで作っていただき、帰る頃にはデータで受け取りました。前日まで雨続きでがっかりだった宮古の旅が、最終日のこのツアーで一気に良い思い出となりました。
次回も絶対こちらにお願いしたいと思います。
本当にありがとうございました！

The Miyako Blue sea was so beautiful that I can't put it into words. I was able to swim with sea turtles in such an incredibly stunning ocean!! The drone footage also became a wonderful memory of our family trip. The staff were kind and fun, making it easy for me to relax and participate, even though I can't swim. For someone who is afraid of water, being able to swim with sea turtles is the best memory. Thank you very much!!

宮古ブルーの海、言葉にできないほどきれいでした。感動するほどきれいな海でウミガメと泳げました！！
ドローン撮影も家族旅行の記念になりました。
スタッフの方も親切で楽しい方で、泳げない私でもリラックスして参加できました。
水が怖い私がウミガメと泳げたこと、最高の思い出です。ありがとうございました！！

We were able to see turtles right away, and the children were very happy. It was great that they took us to a fishing spot as well. The guide was kind to the kids, and they quickly got comfortable, allowing us to enjoy the tour. After the tour, it was nice that they recommended some shops to us.

すぐにカメにも会えて、子ども達も喜んでました。
魚のポイントにも連れて行ってくれてよかったです。ガイドさんも子どもに優しくしてくれてすぐに慣れて楽しくツアーを進めることが出来ました。ツアー後もおススメのお店などを教えてくれてよかった。

It was unfortunately rainy, but I was grateful that the tour went ahead. The tour itself was truly satisfying as I got to see the unique limestone caves that can only be found in Miyako Island. As noted in the instructions, there are really no restrooms around, so I think it would be great if a few portable toilets could be set up.

あいにくの雨でしたが催行いただき、ありがたかったです。ツアー自体は本当に宮古島のここでしか見れない鍾乳洞が見れてとても満足でした。注意書きにも記載がありますが、周りにトイレが本当になく、いくつか簡易トイレでいいので設置してもらえたらなと思いました。

This is definitely worth a visit.

At Shigira Beach, the chances of encountering sea turtles may decrease, but luckily, I was able to swim with one.

The sea kayaking to Pumpkin was not too challenging in terms of waves or distance, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the caves. The two bows and claps were also performed by the guide from Yakushima, showing respect for nature.

The schedule varies depending on the tide conditions, so it may not be as listed. For reference, I will provide my schedule below. I almost lost heart due to the rain at the start, but the water temperature was not cold, and I was able to enjoy it fully! Thank you, guide Manami!

The clarity of the ocean was outstanding, and the waves were gentle, allowing us to see plenty of coral and fish. Since we were in clear kayaks, it was refreshing to see what was right below us, and I found myself completely absorbed in it. They took photos and videos for us, which we could receive on the spot, and the ones captured with a drone were particularly moving. They even created a short movie, which felt like a promotional video (laughs). It was a wonderful experience that allowed us to feel the beauty and grandeur of the ocean, and it became a great memory! I highly recommend it!

海の透明度か抜群で、波も穏やかで、珊瑚や魚をたくさん見ることができました。クリアカヤックなので、真下の様子を見ることができるのが新鮮で、つい夢中で見入ってしまいました。写真や動画を撮ってくれ、その場でいただくことができるのですが、特にドローンで撮影していただいたものがとても感動的でした。短いムービーも作成してくれ、プロモーションビデオのようでした（笑）海の綺麗さや壮大さを感じることができとても良い思い出になりました！おすすめです！

I made a reservation the day before, and they welcomed me warmly. Initially, I had booked for 1 PM, but based on the tide conditions, they recommended the 11 AM slot, which I changed to and experienced.

The activity took place at Imugya Marine Beach. I had done stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) there the day before, but it was such a fun experience that it felt like a completely different place.

When I was paddleboarding, I was so focused on balancing that I couldn't pay much attention to the sea, but with the clear kayak, I didn't have to worry about falling into the water, and I could closely observe the beautiful coral reefs and fish beneath me.

We started with some kayak practice in the bay, and then the instructor guided us around the coral reefs near the bridge. I hadn't noticed it during the SUP session, but there were many little blue fish and clownfish.

We also ventured out to the outer area beyond the bridge, where we could see different types of corals and fish. They even took aerial shots with a drone there. After the experience, I received an edited video, and it was a very high-quality piece that moved me. During the experience, the instructor took many photos, and every time I look at them, I remember the fun I had. I definitely want to do this again. Thank you!

前日に予約をしましたが、快く受け入れていただきました。当初13時で予約しましたが、潮の状況から11時の枠をお薦めいただき、そちらに変更して体験しました。
イムギャーマリンビーチでの催行でした。前日もここでsupをしていましたが、全く違う場所かと思うほど楽しい体験ができました。
Supをしたときはバランスを取るのに必死で海の様子をそこまで注視することができていなかったのですが、クリアカヤックだと海に落ちる心配もなく、足元を見れば綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚たちを間近に観察することができました。
はじめは湾内ですこしカヤックの練習をしたのち、インストラクターさんに橋周辺のサンゴ礁を案内いただきました。sup の時には気づかなかったのですが青い小魚やカクレクマノミがたくさんいました。
また橋の外の沖の方まで出て、また違った種類サンゴや魚たちを見ることができました。
そちらでドローンでの空撮もしていただきました。こちらは体験後に編集済みの動画でいただけ、とてもハイクオリティな作品で感動しました。体験中もインストラクターさんにたくさん写真を撮っていただき、写真を見るたび楽しい体験を思い出しています。また必ずやりたいなと思います。ありがとうございました！

This time, I traveled to Miyako Island for the first time, planning a two-night, three-day trip. On the first day, I had a photo shoot scheduled, but it was canceled due to clouds, and I was told it would be fine the next day, so I was looking forward to it. However, it rained quite a bit at night, and I couldn't see any stars at all. I received a call that the shoot was canceled an hour before it was supposed to start, and I was so frustrated that I cried. I waited at a nearby beach and couldn't give up until the last minute, hoping to see the stars. Then suddenly, the clouds cleared, and I could see many stars, so I called right away. They confirmed that it had indeed cleared up and that I should come to the meeting place again until the last minute.

When I arrived, there were many tourists lined up. There were a lot of people both before and after our scheduled time. The staff were bustling around, saying, "We're running behind!" I was told that our shoot was canceled due to clouds an hour before, but I wondered if the others weren't canceled. I was a bit shocked because I heard that stars were visible later on the first day, so I think they were able to shoot.

It might have just been bad timing for us, but it was a bit disappointing. In the end, I was really glad that I could see the starry sky and have the shoot, but I had some doubts about the handling of the situation. Since I was allowed to enter within the monitor's frame, I shared my thoughts as I felt. I also think it would be better if we could decide on our own poses for the shoot. Looking back at the photos, I thought it was a bit of a waste that everyone had similar poses.

今回、宮古島に初めて旅行しに来ました2泊3日で予定組んでました。初日に撮影を組んでいましたが雲がかかってキャンセルになり次の日なら大丈夫とのことで楽しみにしていました。ですが夜に雨が結構降ってきて全く星が見えない状況になり電話が来てやはり撮影1時間前にキャンセル電話が来て悔しくて泣きました。近くのビーチで待機してて時間ギリギリまで諦めることができなかったので星が出るのを待っていました。そしたらいきなり雲が流れて星がたくさん見えるようになりすぐに電話しました。そしたら確かに晴れてきて見えてきましたね。と言われて時間ギリギリまでまってまた集合場所に来て下さいと言ってくれて向かう事ができました。
着いたら沢山の観光客が並んでいました。私達の約束の前の人達や後にも沢山です。時間押してるから！とスタッフ同士バタバタしながら撮影していました。私達は雲がかかってキャンセルと1時間前に言われたのですが、他の人達はキャンセルされなかったのかな？と不思議に思いました。
初日もキャンセルされましたが、あとから星が見えたと言っていたので撮影してたんだと思います、、
そのことで少しショックを受けました。
私達のタイミングと時間が悪かったのかもしれませんが少し残念です、、
結果的に星空も見えたし撮影もできて本当に良かったですが少し対応に疑問でした。モニターの枠で入らせて頂いたので思った通りにコメントさせて頂きました。あと撮影ポーズも自分達で決められるような形がいいと思います。写真見返すと皆さん同じようなポーズでもったいないなと思いました。

It may be quite difficult to arrive at the meeting place, but if you call, they will kindly guide you. I participated with my child, who will be turning two soon. They handled the situation well according to the circumstances. The moment they showed us the photos through the digital camera screen at the shooting location, I was excited by the results, which exceeded my expectations. If the weather is nice, I think this is a highly recommended activity. The photo data we received is also of satisfactory quality. Thank you very much.

集合場所まで到着するのは、なかなか難しいかもしれませんが、電話すれば丁寧に教えてくれます。もうすぐ2歳になる子どもと参加しました。
状況に合わせて、上手く対応してくれました。
撮影現場でデジカメの画面を通じて、写真を見せてくれた瞬間、想像以上の出来映えで、興奮しました。天気が良ければ、すごくおすすめのアクティビティだと思います。
いただいた写真データも満足できる品質です。
ありがとうございました。

I was very disappointed, but when it started to rain, I gave up and went home. I thought it was rare just to be able to enter the golf course at night, but I received a message saying there was a chance, so I returned immediately. Despite the many clouds, the photos turned out beautifully. It's not often you get the opportunity to take such pictures, so I was moved when I saw them! The starry sky looks incredibly beautiful! (laughs) The next morning, I received the photos via email, and I thought their work was very quick. I recommend this to anyone coming to Miyako Island.

とても悔しかったですが、雨が降ってきて一度は諦めて帰りました。夜のゴルフ場入れただけでレアかぁと思ってたのですが、チャンスが来たということでご連絡をいただきすぐに戻りました。雲が多かったにもかかわらず、とても綺麗に撮っていただきました。こんな写真なかなか撮っていただく機会はないので、写真を見て感動でした！星空めちゃくちゃ綺麗に映ってる！笑　翌日の午前中にはメールでお写真も届き、とてもお仕事が早いなと思いました。宮古島に来る方、おすすめです。

I had a wonderful photo taken against the beautiful starry sky of Miyako Island! The photographer gives pose instructions, so even those who are not good at taking photos can get stunning shots✨

I received the photos the next day, and the response was smooth!

I participated with my boyfriend this time, but I would definitely like to request this again when I come with friends.

宮古島のとても綺麗な星空を背景に、
素敵な写真を撮っていただきました！
ポーズも指示してくれるので、写真が苦手な方でも映えな写真を撮ってもらうことができます✨

写真も翌日には送ってもらうことができ、
スムーズな対応でした！

今回は彼氏との参加でしたが、
友達ときた際もぜひお願いしたいです

I visited Miyako Island for the first time with a friend. The starry sky, which is hard to see in the city, was truly beautiful at the location we were guided to for photos, with no streetlights around, allowing us to see many stars with the naked eye. Additionally, the photographer was very kind and friendly, suggesting poses that made the shoot really enjoyable! There were also props available, which added a unique touch to the photos! We received the photo data the very next day. I was genuinely surprised by the beauty of the finished photos and found them so moving that I kept looking back at them.

We were blessed with great weather, and I’m so glad we chose to have our starry sky photos taken here, as it created wonderful memories.

I will definitely reach out again when I visit Miyako Island!

友人と今回初めて宮古島を訪れました。都内では中々見られない星空ですが、今回フォトで案内して下さったロケーションは周りに街灯もなく、肉眼でも星空が沢山見えました^ ^加えてカメラマンの方がとても優しく、気さくで、ポーズなど指定していただきとても楽しく撮影ができました♪小道具もあり、一味違った写真も撮っていただきました！写真も翌日すぐデータでいただけました。出来上がりの写真のキレイさに本当にびっくりして、何度も見返すくらい感動ものです。
お天気にも恵まれ、最高な思い出作りが出来たので、こちらで星空フォトをお願いして本当に良かったです。

また宮古島へ行った際にはお願いします☆彡.。

I took several very magical photos against the night sky of Miyako Island. It's not something an amateur can easily achieve, and the lighting with the props was also effective. Depending on the weather, there may be some clouds, but I think it's definitely worth experiencing as a keepsake when you visit Miyako Island.

宮古島の夜空をバックに、とても幻想的な写真を何枚も取っていただきました。なかなか素人ではできない映像で、小道具のライティングも効果的でした。天候によっては雲が多少かかるときもありますが、宮古島へ行ったら記念にぜひ体験したらいいと思います。
