All Reviews for Japan Hidden Gems: Secret Islands

I had my first experience with snorkeling! The staff were incredibly helpful, and my worries were quickly alleviated! They took a lot of photos, and I felt their thoughtfulness towards us. I highly recommend this tour for anyone considering participating! 😊

シュノーケリングを初体験させていただきました！
スタッフの方の対応もすごく良く、すぐに不安は解消されました！写真もたくさん撮っていただき、こちら側への想いやりも感じました。ぜひ参加されることをお勧めできるツアーです(^^)

We signed up for a tour because we heard there was a high chance of seeing sea turtles. This was my first experience with snorkeling, and I'm not very good at swimming, but before we started, they carefully taught us how to put on the snorkeling mask and goggles, which made me feel safe entering the water. We were able to encounter clownfish and, finally, the sea turtles we had been hoping to see, and we also got some wonderful photos taken. Thank you very much!

高確率でウミガメを見られるとのことで夫婦でツアーに申し込みました。私はシュノーケリング初体験で泳ぎもそんなに得意ではないのですが、泳ぎ始める前にシュノーケル用のマスク・ゴーグルの装着方法を丁寧に教えていただき、安心して海に入ることができました。カクレクマノミや念願のウミガメにも出会うことができ、素敵な写真も撮っていただけました。本当にありがとうございました！

The staff member who assisted us was very kind and gave clear instructions while playing music, making the shoot enjoyable! It was a beautiful and wonderful time! I would love to request their help again when I come back to Miyako Island! Thank you for recommending delicious restaurants as well!

担当してくれたお兄さんがとても親切で
分かりやすく指示してくれたり音楽流してくれて
楽しく撮影できました！
とっても綺麗で最高の時間でした！
また宮古島来た時はお願いしたいです！
美味しいご飯屋さんも教えてくれてありがとうございました！

I took photos while listening to music under a sky full of stars. I was nervous since it was my first time shooting, but I was able to relax and pose as I wanted! While waiting for others to finish their shoots, I sat back in a chair and enjoyed the starry sky. It was a very precious experience, and I am grateful for it. I definitely want to come back to Miyako Island again.

空いっぱいの星空の中、音楽を聴きながら撮影をしました。初めての撮影で緊張していましたが、リラックスしながら撮りたいポーズで撮影できました！他の方の撮影を待っている間も、椅子に腰掛けてゆったりと星空を満喫できました。とても貴重な体験をすることができ、感謝しています。また絶対に宮古島に来たいです。

I was taken care of during the sea turtle tour. Although it was postponed by a day due to the typhoon, I was amazed by the beautiful, clear blue of the ocean, which showed no signs of the storm's impact. The staff's response during the postponement was excellent. I think there were at least 5 or 6 sea turtles. I couldn't believe how close we could get to them. During the tour, the guide led us and shared interesting facts. The tour package included all the necessary equipment, so it seemed like I could participate with just my swimsuit. I brought a camera to take underwater photos, but it turned out I didn't need it, as they took about 100 high-quality pictures and sent them to my smartphone right away. I loved all the photos and was very satisfied. The tour lasted from 9:00 to 11:00, and I think it was more than enough time to enjoy it. On the last day of my 4-night, 5-day trip, I had an emotional experience, and I am filled with gratitude for the staff.

ウミガメツアーでお世話になりました。
台風で1日延期となりましたが、その影響を感じない海の青さで透き通った綺麗さ感動しました。
延期の際もスタッフさんの対応が良かったです。
ウミガメは少なくとも5〜6匹はいたと思います。
あんなに接近できると思ってなく信じられませんでした。
ツアー中はガイドさんが先導してくださり、豆知識を教えていただきました。
ツアーについては、必要な道具一式がプラン内に組み込まれていて水着だけの手ぶらで参加できそうです。
水中を撮りたくカメラを持って行ったのですが、その必要がないくらいに、高性能なカメラで100枚程撮ってくださり、すぐにスマホに送信していただきました。
どれも気に入った写真ばかりで大満足です。
ツアー時間も9:00〜11:00までですが、十分過ぎるくらい満喫できるかと思います。
4泊5日の最終日に感動的な体験ができ、運営スタッフの皆さまに感謝でいっぱいです。

I went stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. The sea was crystal clear and very beautiful. I was able to see many creatures up close, such as sea turtles and clownfish. All the instructors were very kind. It became a wonderful memory! If I have the opportunity to come to Miyako Island again, I would like to use their services again!

サップとシュノーケリングをやりました。
海が透き通っていてとても綺麗でした。
ウミガメやカクレクマノミなど、たくさんの生き物たちを間近で見ることができました。
インストラクターの方々は全員親切でした。
とてもいい思い出になりました！
また宮古島に来る機会があったら、また利用させていただきたいです！

This time, I requested the sea turtle snorkeling and SUP plan. Since it was my first time on a SUP, I was a bit anxious, but the staff provided thorough explanations beforehand, and they accompanied us throughout, allowing me to enjoy it without any worries. It was very convenient that we could borrow everything, including life jackets and diving shoes. They took many wonderful photos and videos, which became great memories! The sea in Miyako Island is truly beautiful, and I was able to meet adorable baby sea turtles, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to request this again the next time I visit. Thank you very much!

今回は、ウミガメシュノーケリング＆SUPのプランをお願いさせていただきました。SUPは初めてなので少し不安もありましたが、丁寧に事前説明いただけ、終始お二人のスタッフの方が付いてくださり、不安なく楽しむことができました。
ライフジャケットやダイビングシューズなど全てお借りする事が出来るので、とても便利でした。
思ってた以上に、たくさん素敵な写真も動画も撮っていただけ、とても良い思い出になりました！
宮古島の海は本当に綺麗で、可愛い子供のウミガメに出会え、最高のひと時を過ごすことができました。次回来た時もまた、お願いしたいです。
ありがとうございました！

We had a guide named Yuka who took care of us. She was attentive to our health and equipment, and even though we hadn't been in the ocean for over ten years and felt a bit anxious, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. It was also appreciated that she waited for participants who were late or had drifted away before providing information to everyone.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but we were able to see clownfish and various other fish and creatures, which was satisfying enough.

During the SUP, I fell into the sea a few times, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to stand up, so I think even those like me who aren't very good with core strength can enjoy it.

The meeting point was a bit hard to understand. I was informed about the meeting location the day before, but I couldn't answer the phone due to travel, so I ended up receiving a text message. I appreciated the text message, but the parking area at the meeting point was large, and there were other tour groups as well, so I would have liked to have some kind of landmark provided. I think it would be good for future participants to confirm in advance via phone or text message.

ユカさんというガイドさんに付いていただきました。体調や器具のことなど色々気にしてくださり、10年以上海に入ったことなどなく、少し不安だった私たちでも安心して楽しむことができました。また見どころでは遅れたり離れた参加者でもきちんと待ってから全員に教えてくれたのでありがたかったです。

シュノーケリングでは残念ながらウミガメに遭遇はできませんでしたが、クマノミやその他様々な魚や生き物を見ることができたので十分満足できました。

SUPでは私は何度か海に落ちましたが、慣れれば立つこともできたので、体幹の良くない私のような方でも楽しむことができると思います。

集合については少しだけわかりにくかったです。集合場所は前日のご連絡とのことでしたが、前日は移動で電話に出ることができず、ショートメールでの連絡となってしまいました。ショートメールで連絡いただけただけでもありがたいのですが、集合場所の駐車場は広く、また他のツアーの方々もいらっしゃったので、目印のようなものも併せて教えていただきたかったです。今後参加される方は、電話やショートメールで事前に確認されると良いかと思います。

I went snorkeling first, and as soon as I entered the water, I was able to see a sea turtle up close, which was very cute. When the sunlight hit the water, the fish sparkled and it looked like a different world, it was beautiful. Stand-up paddleboarding was a first-time experience for me, but the staff explained everything carefully and took a lot of photos, so I was able to stand up without any issues. I had a valuable experience and I am very satisfied. I also liked Miyako Island, so I definitely want to use this service again.

シュノーケリングを先にしましたが、海に入ってすぐに凄く間近でウミガメが見ることができて、見ていて、とても可愛かったです。また海中に日があたると魚がキラキラ輝いて見えて、まるで別世界で綺麗でした。サップは初めての体験でしたが担当者も一つ一つ、丁寧に説明して下さり、写真もたくさん撮って下さったので、問題なく立つことが出来たし、貴重な体験ができて、大変満足しています。宮古島も気に入ったので、また是非利用したいと思っています。

I really saw a lot of sea turtles! They were so cute...!! The staff were kind and explained how to snorkel in detail! They also talked about the creatures and Miyako Island, which was very enjoyable! Thank you very much!

本当にウミガメが沢山見られました！可愛かったです…！！お兄さんたちは親切で、シュノーケルの仕方を丁寧に説明してくれました！生き物や宮古島のお話もしてくださったりと、とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

I heard that the sea turtle encounter rate was 99%, but I was able to see about 120% of the sea turtles! They didn't escape at all, and I had plenty of time to take photos up close, which made me very satisfied! The two male guides were also very friendly and provided detailed information about the sea and the terrain! Even after the tour ended, they shared tourist spots and delicious restaurants via LINE, and I was able to receive photos immediately on my iPhone! This is a tour I highly recommend!

On the other hand, I felt that the parking fee of 2000 yen was a bit expensive. I would understand if the facilities had nice showers and hair dryers, but...

ウミガメ遭遇率99%と聞いていましたが、120%くらいのウミガメを見ることができました！全く逃げることなく、近くで写真を撮る時間も多く大満足です！ガイドの男性おふたりも、非常に愛想良く、海や地形のことを詳しく紹介してくださりました！ツアー終了後もLINEで観光地や美味しい飲食店を教えてくださり、写真もすぐiPhoneで受け取り可能でした！非常にお勧めできるツアーです！


一方で、駐車場が2000円と割高に感じました。綺麗なシャワーやドライヤーを完備している施設であれば納得なのですが。。

In the morning, I participated in snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I joined a SUP session. The weather was nice, and it seemed like the sea was very clear, which made for wonderful memories.

Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, there were plenty of clownfish, and I was able to take photos with them.

Since I was a beginner at SUP, I was a bit anxious about whether I could do it well, but I was able to progress slowly and felt reassured while trying. I was happy to be able to paddle while standing.

Hajime and Miyu were in charge of our activities. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!

午前中にシュノーケリング、午後にSUPに参加しました。天気が良く、海の透明度も高い日だったようで、とても良い思い出ができました^ ^
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメに会うことはできませんでしたが、カクレクマノミが沢山いて一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
SUPは、初心者だったので上手くできるか不安もありましたが、ゆっくり進めていただけて安心して挑戦できました。立って漕ぐことが出来て嬉しかったです。
はじめさんとみゆさんに担当していただきました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

The weather was nice, and I was able to see many turtles. The guide was also very thorough in their explanations, which was great. It seems possible to see turtles on your own in this sea, but since you have to swim quite far, having a guide makes it safer and more reassuring.

天気も良く、カメもたくさん見れました。
ガイドの方も説明も丁寧で良かったです。
この海では自力でもカメを見に行けそうですが、遠くまで泳いでいくのでガイドがいたほうが安心安全に終えることができます。

I was able to see more than four sea turtles! I also saw clownfish. On the way there, I swam over the sand, and on the way back, I swam over the coral, spending about an hour and a half in the sea. The guide was kind and it was a lot of fun!

ウミガメ4匹以上見れました！ クマノミも見ました。
行きは砂の上を、帰りは珊瑚の上を泳いで帰り、約1時間半海に居ました。
ガイドさんも親切で楽しかったです！

The location was great, and they captured the breathtaking moment of the moon and stars as the moon set! The staff was friendly and gave us tips on poses and photography, making the shoot enjoyable! A shooting star was also captured, making it the best memory of the trip! ♪

ロケーションもよくて、月が沈む瞬間の月と星の絶景の瞬間を写真に納めてくれました！
お兄さんも気さくで、ポーズや写真のアドバイスもしてくれ楽しく撮影してくれました！
流れ星も写っていて、旅行で一番の思い出です♪

We participated as a family of three. It was our first time in Miyako Island, and this sea turtle snorkeling experience became our best memory. The responses to our questions before the tour were very thorough, which made us feel at ease to join. The guide was also very kind and cheerful, and we were able to see 4 to 5 sea turtles! The photos sent to us after the tour were incredibly beautiful, including close-up shots of the sea turtles and pictures of Nemo, in addition to our family photos. I believe Miyako Island is a place worth visiting only if you go into the sea. I definitely want to participate in this tour again the next time I visit! 😊

家族3人で参加しました。宮古島は初めてだったのですがこのウミガメシュノーケリングが1番の思い出になりましたツアー前の質問にも丁寧にご回答いただき安心して参加することが出来ました。
またガイドの方もとても親切で明るく、ウミガメも4〜5匹見ることが出来ました！
ツアー後に送って下さった写真もすごく綺麗で、家族写真以外にもウミガメの至近距離写真やニモの写真などもありました。
宮古島は海に入ってこそ行く価値のある場所だと思います。また次に訪れる時も必ずこちらのツアーに参加したいと思います(^^)

It was so much fun! The sea turtle was so focused on its meal that it didn't pay us any mind. The sea turtle was, of course, adorable, but I also enjoyed the coral and Nemo. I think it's a safe option for beginners and small children since you don't have to go too far out with the beach entry. I thought the suggestion to change days based on the tide conditions was wonderful. Thank you, guide! (I had someone pulling my float the whole time.)

楽しかったあー。
海亀さんは、食事に夢中で、私たちには関知せずでしたが。海亀さんは、もちろん可愛いかったけれど、珊瑚も、ニモも、楽しめました。ビーチエントリーで、あまり沖まで行かないなど、初めての方、小さいお子様も、安心できると思います。潮の状態の良い日に変更提案等、対応も、素敵と、思いました。
ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。(ずっと浮輪を引っ張ってもらったのです)

I am very satisfied with how beautifully it was done. It was so good that I would like to use it again when I go back. Thank you very much.

とても綺麗にとっていただき大満足です。また行った時には利用したいと思える程良かったです。ありがとございました。

The weather was perfect, and the views were amazing, making this my best memory in Miyako Island! The instructor was very kind, and I felt safe during the experience! I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! The clownfish, in particular, was cute and left a strong impression on me. The scenery while paddleboarding was wonderful, and falling into the sea from the paddleboard felt refreshing because the water was cool. Everything was just fantastic! I want to experience it again when I come back to Miyako Island! ☺️☺️☺️

最高の天気、最高の景色で宮古島に来て1番の思い出になりました！
インストラクターさんもとっても優しく、安心して体験が出来ました！シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました！特にクマノミは可愛くて印象に残っています。サップでは素敵な景色が見ることができ、またサップから海に落ちるのは海が冷たくて気持ちよかったです。とにかく全てが最高でした！
また宮古島に来たら体験したいです☺️☺️☺️

It was my son's first snorkeling tour! I was also looking forward to seeing a sea turtle for the first time, but I didn't expect to see it up close, so I was very excited. It was super cute. My son also seemed satisfied, saying he had fun seeing lots of fish. The guide was very attentive and made us feel at ease during the tour!

息子にとっては初めてのシュノーケリングツアー！
わたしもウミガメは初めてでとても楽しみにしていましたが、近距離で見れるとは思ってなかったので大興奮。めっちゃ可愛かったです。息子もたくさん魚見れて楽しかったと満足した様子。担当のお兄さんも丁寧に案内してくれて安心し参加できました！

I had a great experience taking photos with my boyfriend against the starry sky. The stars turned out beautifully in the pictures! The person who took the photos was also knowledgeable about delicious restaurants and tourist spots in Miyako Island, and I was happy to learn a lot from them. The recommended izakaya was very tasty! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!!

星空を背景に彼氏との写真を撮っていただきました。星空がすごく綺麗に撮れていて良い体験でした！！また撮影してくれた方は、宮古島の美味しいお店や観光スポットに詳しく、色々と教えてくれたのも嬉しかったです。おすすめの居酒屋とても美味しかったです！！良い想い出を、ありがとうございました！！！

There were a lot of sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos. I also got to meet clownfish, and they took some stunning pictures. Kometchi was easy to talk to, just as the reviews said. I'm really glad I chose this place. Miyako Island is the best!! I will participate again when I come back to Miyako Island, so thank you in advance! ★

ウミガメがいっぱいいて
写真もたくさんいただけて
クマノミにも会えて
迫力ある写真を撮ってくれます。
コメッチさんも話しやすく口コミ通りです。
本当にこちらにしてよかったです。
宮古島最高！！
次回宮古島に来たらまた参加しますので
よろしくお願いします★

I was moved to see sea turtles up close, and the photos really captured the clarity of the water and the turtles' expressions. It had been quite a while since I last went snorkeling, but the guide was kind and explained the techniques and precautions clearly, which made me feel at ease. This became one of my best memories in Miyako Island.

近くでウミガメに会えて感動しましたし、写真でも海の透明度とウミガメの表情がよくわかりました。
かなり久々のシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんは親切で、やり方や注意点をわかりやすく説明してくれて安心できました。宮古島での最高の思い出の1つとなりました。

We participated as a couple! The explanations were easy to understand, and we got to see several sea turtles and even Nemo! The ocean and coral were beautiful, and we were truly moved. We enjoyed it for longer than we expected and definitely want to participate again!!! It was a wonderful honeymoon! Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加させてもらいました！
説明も分かりやすくてウミガメも
何匹か会えてニモも見れました！
海も珊瑚も綺麗で感動しました
思ったより長い時間楽しめて絶対に
また参加したいです！！！
いい新婚旅行になりました！
ありがとうございました。

I applied to capture memorable photos on my anniversary with my partner. The service satisfaction is at its maximum! The stars were truly beautiful, and it was the best night sky of my life.

The shooting spot is very close to the parking lot; it's dark, but they illuminate the area, allowing for safe movement. Once you arrive at the shooting spot, you receive an explanation of the precautions for the shoot, and it starts right away. The person in charge was easy to talk to and left a very good impression.

The shooting conditions can be affected by the weather and other environmental factors, but they inform you about such situations in advance via email, which is reassuring. I highly recommend giving it a try!

恋人との記念日に思い出の写真を残そうと考え応募しました。サービス満足度はマックスです！
星が本当に綺麗で、人生で一番の夜空でした。
撮影スポットは駐車場からすぐそばのところで、暗いですがライトで照らしていただき安全に移動できます。撮影スポットに到着したら撮影時の注意点の説明を受け、すぐに開始します。担当していただいた方は話しやすい人で印象がとても良かったです。
天候などの環境に撮影状況は左右されますが、そんなときの対応も事前にメールで知らされているので、安心です。ぜひ一度応募してみてください！！

The sky was filled with stars as if it were a planetarium, and the weather was so nice that we could even see the Milky Way. The photographer was kind and played music while shooting, which made it a lot of fun!

一面がプラネタリウムかのように星が見え天気もよかったので天の川まで見えました。カメラマンさんも優しく音楽をかけながらの撮影でとても楽しかったです！

I encountered four sea turtles and enjoyed the breathtaking views in the clear, beautiful ocean. The support from the instructor was excellent, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and those who are not very good at swimming. They also shared interesting facts about sea turtles and coral, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!

4匹のウミガメに出会え、透明度の高いキレイな海での絶景を楽しみました。インストラクターのお兄さんのサポートも手厚く、初めての方・泳ぎがあまり得意ではない方でも安心して、楽しむことができると思います。ウミガメやサンゴに関する豆知識も教えてくれて、とても素晴らしい体験でした。おすすめです！

We gathered on-site and took several photos in recommended poses and our favorite poses. The staff's hospitality and the atmosphere they created were also great.

現地に集合しておすすめのポーズ、好きなポーズで数枚写真撮影しました。
スタッフの方の接遇や雰囲気づくりも良かったです。

This was the best experience of my trip!!

We participated in a luxurious SUP and snorkeling tour with five people because we wanted to fully enjoy marine activities in Miyako Island.

I hadn't been in the ocean for several years and was anxious about marine activities, but the staff were very supportive, and everyone ended up loving the sea.

<SUP>
We received thorough instructions in the beautiful sea, and everyone was able to enjoy it without falling in. We also took a lot of stunning photos.

<Snorkeling>
Some members had difficulty breathing through their mouths, but with appropriate breaks and careful instructions, we were able to enjoy it. The staff worked hard to find sea turtles, and we were able to encounter them that day!!

<Overall>
The staff treated us kindly with just the right level of warmth, making it a very good tour. When I asked for recommendations for lunch, they told us about a really delicious place. I would like to participate in another tour next time.

今回の旅で一番最高な経験でした！！

宮古島でマリンアクティビティを思いっきり楽しみたいということで、豪華なSUP+シュノーケリングツアーに5名で参加しました。

数年海に入っておらず、マリンアクティビティが不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんの対応が手厚くみんな海が大好きになりました。

<SUP>
綺麗な海で丁寧にレクチャーいただき、みんな落ちることなく楽しめました。すごく映える写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。

<シュノーケリング>
口呼吸が苦手なメンバーもいたのですが、適度な休憩時間や丁寧なレクチャーで楽しめました。
スタッフさんが一生懸命ウミガメを探していただき、当日出会えることができました！！

<全体を通して>
スタッフさんが、適度な温度感で優しく接してくれて非常に良いツアーでした。おすすめのお昼ご飯を聞いたらすごく美味しいところを教えてくださいました。今度また別のツアーに参加したいと思います。

The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see turtles up close; it was truly amazing! It was my first time snorkeling, and I didn't know anything, but the explanations were very thorough, so I had a great time! They took many beautiful photos, which became wonderful memories. I also appreciated learning about the sea turtles and coral. Thank you! I would like to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island.

海も綺麗でカメも身近で見れて本当に最高でした！
初めてのシュノーケリングで何も分かりませんでしたが、丁寧に説明して頂けたので凄く楽しめました！写真も綺麗にたくさん撮って頂き良い思い出となりました。
また海でウミガメや珊瑚の事まで教えて頂き良かったです。ありがとうございます！
また宮古島に来た際はお願いしたいです。
