All Reviews for Japan Hidden Gems: Secret Islands

We requested a couple's session. Communication was smooth, and we were very grateful for the flexible responses. They played music to enhance the mood and took various poses, and we were very satisfied with the finished photos. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

カップルでお願い致しました。連絡もスムーズで、色々と柔軟な対応をして下さり大変ありがたかったです。
音楽もかけてムードを盛り上げていただいたり、様々なポージングを撮っていただいたり、出来上がった写真もとても満足致しました。とても良い想い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I went on a tour with my brother and two others.

We swam to a point where we could see sea turtles, and they guided us while being mindful of seasickness and our stamina.

They took many photos with the sea turtles and kindly shared interesting facts about Miyako Island, as well as recommended shops!

Since we were around the same age, I was able to enjoy the tour a lot! If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again!☆

お兄さんと3人でツアーを行いました。

ウミガメが見えるポイントまで泳ぎましたが、
波酔いや体力を気にかけながら案内をしてくれました。

ウミガメとの写真を沢山撮ってくださったり
宮古島の豆知識や、オススメのお店なども教えていただき、親切にしていただきました！！

歳も近かったので、楽しくツアーに参加することができました！
また機会があればよろしくお願いします☆

Prior to our visit, we received information about the parking situation, which helped us gather smoothly. A very kind staff member taught my child with great patience, which was a huge help! At first, both my child and I were nervous, but we were pulled along with a float, and we got to see many cute tropical fish and several sea turtles. I'm really glad we booked here! We also received a lot of photos in digital format! Thank you very much!

事前に、駐車場の混み具合の連絡をいただき、順調に集合。
とても優しいお兄さんが子供にも優しく教えてくれて、大変助かりました！
最初はドキドキで私も子供も不安でしたが、浮き輪で引っ張ってくれて、可愛い熱帯魚たちと、海亀に何匹も会えました^ ^
本当にこちらで申し込んでよかったです！
写真もデータでたくさんいただきました！！
ありがとうございました！

I'm glad that the photo shoot went smoothly after arriving at the meeting place✨️ The stars were also very beautiful.

As soon as the shoot started, they played Okinawan music, which made for a relaxing experience.

They also recommend sightseeing spots and delicious restaurants and izakayas, so I recommend making reservations on the first day of your sightseeing!

私は観光初日に予約するのがおすすめです！

I originally had a reservation for the 18th, but since there were many clouds and visibility might be poor, I changed it to the 19th. Our guide, Masaru, said, "Today is truly beautiful!" and the experience was very enjoyable. We were able to take wonderful photos with the Milky Way clearly visible! It was so beautiful that I felt like I could cry, and the moment I saw the photos, I couldn't stop being moved. I made the best memories here in Miyako Island! Thank you very much (^ ^) Masaru was also amazing, thank you!!

元々18日に予約してましたが、雲が多いので見えないかもということで、19日に変更していただきました。ガイドのまさるさんが、今日は本当にめっちゃ綺麗！と言ってくださって、アテンドもとても楽しく、天の川がくっきりうつる素敵な写真を撮っていただけました！！
あまりにも綺麗すぎて、涙が出てきそうなぐらいで、撮っていただいた写真を見せてもらった瞬間、感動が止まりませんでした。。
宮古島きて、最高の思い出ができました！
ありがとうございます(^ ^)
まさるさんも最高でした、ありがとうございます！！

I was initially skeptical about whether we would really see sea turtles, but we were able to see them up close! My 8-year-old son was scared to swim in the ocean, and I was worried about whether we could set off, but the staff matched our pace and were very kind! In the end, he was taken out on a float, and while holding onto the float, he was able to put his face in the water and see the sea turtles up close, which made him very satisfied!

Perhaps because we were on the float, we couldn't take great photos, but they took many pictures until we got some beautiful ones, and after the tour, they sent us a large number of photos! As parents, we were also able to see many beautiful fish like sea turtles, coral reefs, and clownfish up close, and we are extremely satisfied! We created the best memories! Thank you so much!

本当にウミガメが見れるのか、疑心暗鬼でしたが間近で見ることができました！
8歳の息子が海を泳ぐのを怖がり、出発できるのか不安な中、スタッフの方がペースを合わせて、とても親切な対応をしていただきました！結局、浮輪に乗って連れて行ってもらいましたが
最後は浮輪に捕まりながら、顔だけ海につけて、間近でウミガメを見ることができ、大満足していました！
浮輪に乗っているためか、上手く写真が撮れなかったようですが、綺麗な写真が撮れるまで何度も撮影いただき、またツアー終了後には大量を写真を送っていただきました！
親もウミガメや珊瑚礁、クマノミなどの綺麗な魚を沢山間近で見ることができ、大大大満足です！最高の思い出ができました！本当にありがとうございました！

I was very satisfied to see the beautiful starry sky for the first time in Miyako Island! On the day of the shoot, I was worried that the stars wouldn't be visible due to the clouds, but after waiting a bit as instructed by the photographer, we arrived at the shooting point and the starry sky was amazing, with the Milky Way beautifully visible, which was truly moving.

Thanks to the careful guidance of the photographer, I was able to shoot without feeling nervous, and the photos I received were taken very beautifully. They became pictures I couldn't have captured myself and will be a wonderful memory of Miyako Island. Thank you very much.

初めての宮古島で綺麗な星空がみれて大満足です！撮影当日は曇ってて星が綺麗に見えるか不安でしたが、カメラマンの方の指示で少し待った後撮影ポイントに着くと星空が凄くて天の川も綺麗に見えて感動しました。
丁寧なカメラマンの指示のもと緊張せすに撮影もでき、送って頂いた写真もとても 綺麗に撮れていました。
自分では撮れない写真になり、宮古島の思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I received the notification about the time change the day before (since it coincided with low tide).

Also, the instructor was very kind and attentive.

It was a truly precious and mystical experience to see sea turtles in their natural habitat!

We took a lot of photos, and I believe it has become a lifelong memory for my child.

I really recommend this!

前日に時間変更（干潮の時間と重なってしまうため）の連絡をいただいて良かったです。

また、インストラクターの方もとても親切で丁寧でした。

自然のウミガメを見れるなんて、とても貴重で神秘的な体験をさせていただきました！

写真もたくさん撮っていただき、子供にとっては一生の想い出になったと思います。

これはホントにオススメです！

It happened to be a day when the stars were beautifully visible, and I was able to take great photos with many stars! Posing was a bit embarrassing, but the photographer led the way, so I naturally lost my shyness. If you want memorable photos, this is definitely the place!

たまたま星が綺麗に見える日ではあったのですがたくさんの星と一緒にいい写真を撮ってもらえました！
ポーズとか少し恥ずかしいですが、撮影者の方がリードしてくれるので自然と恥ずかしさがなくなります。
思い出の写真が欲しいなら間違いなしです！

I was wondering if I would be able to see sea turtles, and as soon as I entered the water, I was able to see them right away! It was amazing to see so many sea turtles! Thank you very much!

海ガメにあえるかなぁ？と思いながら、出発！海に入るとなんとすぐに会えて！たくさんの海ガメにあえて最高でした！ありがとうございました！

We had a photoshoot to commemorate our honeymoon in Miyako Island! The photographer was very friendly, which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the session. The photos turned out beautifully, and we were really impressed!

After the shoot, we had a little chat, and he shared tips on photographing Miyako Island with our smartphones, making it a very enjoyable experience!

宮古島の新婚旅行記念に撮影させていただきました！
おにいさんもすごく親しみやすい方で緊張せず楽しく撮影できました！
写真も綺麗に撮れていて感動しました！

撮影後も少しお話させていただいて、宮古島のことスマホでの撮影のコツも教えて頂きとても楽しい体験になりました！

Although I made a reservation the day before, I was able to participate and see many fish up close, including sea turtles and clownfish. I was of course moved by the experience with my own eyes, but I was also impressed by the beauty of the photos I received! They looked almost like composites. I was happy to receive the data on the same day and with so many photos. During the experience, the staff frequently checked in to see if we were feeling well, and thanks to being pulled along by a float, my 7-year-old daughter was able to enjoy herself safely until the end. It became a wonderful memory.

前日の予約でしたが参加させて頂き、ウミガメやクマノミなど沢山のお魚も間近で見ることが出来ました。
肉眼でももちろん感動しましたが、頂いた写真のキレイさにも感動しました！まるで合成のような美しさです。データを即日納品頂けたことと枚数の多さも嬉しかったです。
体験中は、体調など問題ないか度々声を掛けてくださったり、7歳の娘は浮き輪で引っ張って頂いたおかげで最後まで安心して楽しむことが出来、大変良い思い出になりました。

We participated as a family.
It's recommended for families with children and those who are not good at swimming since you can meet sea turtles in the shallow waters.
They also take photos for each family, so we were able to get a lot of great pictures.
The staff was very friendly, and we had a wonderful time.

家族で参加させて頂きました。
浅瀬でウミガメに会えるので子連れの方や泳ぎが苦手な方にもお勧めです。
写真も家族毎に撮影してくれるので、いい写真がたくさん撮れました。
スタッフの方もとても親切で楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

We all participated as a family.
We were moved by the size and beauty of the stars.
When I showed it to my friends, they were surprised and asked, "Is this real!?"
It was a wonderful photo.
We created the best memories as a family.
Thank you very much.

家族みんなで参加させていただきました。
星の大きさ、美しさに感動しました。
友達に見せたら、ホンモノ！？っと驚いていました。
素敵な写真でした。
家族で最高の思い出ができました。
ありがとうございました。

They took beautiful photos of the stars. Looking at the pictures, the stars feel so close and it's wonderful. I definitely want to ask them again when I go back!

星をすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました
写真で見ると星が間近に感じられて素敵です
また行ったら絶対お願いしたいです！

The photos turned out exactly as I had hoped, and I am very satisfied. I was moved to see a perfect starry sky and the Milky Way with my own eyes! The staff were also kind and left a good impression.

写真は期待していた通りの仕上がりで大満足です。肉眼でも満点の星空と天の川が見えて感動しました！
スタッフの方も親切で好印象でした。

During low tide, there were sea turtles everywhere within reach, and the kids were super excited. I've met sea turtles many times in Okinawa, the Kerama Islands, and Miyako Island, but this was the first time I got to see them up close! The staff was also very friendly and it was the best experience.

干潮ですぐ手が届く所にウミガメがあちこちにいて子供も大興奮。今まで沖縄本島や慶良間諸島、宮古島で何度もウミガメに会いましたが、こんなに近くで会えたのは初めてです！お兄さんもとても親切で最高でした。

The night sky was filled with stars, and it was so beautiful that I was able to capture it in photos, creating wonderful memories. I saw shooting stars and the Milky Way, and it was the first time I had seen such beautiful stars. It's definitely worth experiencing.

夜空一面に星が広がり、とても綺麗に写真に収まることができ、良い思い出になりました。流れ星も天の川も見れて、こんなに星が綺麗に見れたのは初めてでした。やってみる価値ありです。

I was able to fully enjoy the sea of Miyako Island! My wife visited Miyako Island for the second time, and since she couldn't see any sea turtles during her first snorkeling experience, she wanted to try again this time. As a result, we were able to see two sea turtles!! The photos were taken beautifully, and we received a lot of data, so both my wife and I are very satisfied! Thanks to the kind and friendly staff, we had a very meaningful time. I hope to come back and ask for their services again next time.

宮古島の海を満喫できました！
嫁は2回目の宮古島で、1回目に来た時にシュノーケリングをした際はウミガメに会うことができず今回リベンジしたいということで申し込みしました。
その結果2匹のウミガメに会うことが出来ました！！写真もとても綺麗に撮ってもらいデータもたくさんもらうことが出来て私も嫁も大満足です！
優しく気さくなスタッフさんのおかげでとても有意義な時間を過ごせました。また来た時はお願いしたいなと思います。

My first trip to Miyako Island. Due to the typhoon, we couldn't get into the sea for a while, but I wanted to fulfill my children's dream of seeing a sea turtle, so I signed up during our trip. Although the typhoon had passed, the waves were still high, and I was worried we might not see any sea turtles. However, the staff worked hard to find them, and I was so happy that we got to take pictures! The staff was very safety-conscious and provided careful instruction even for beginners, which made me feel reassured. Thank you very much!

初めての宮古島旅行。台風の影響でなかなか海に入れず、でも子供たちのウミガメに会いたいという夢は叶えてあげたい！と旅行中に申し込みました。
台風が逸れたとは言え波は高く、ウミガメに会えないかもと不安でしたが、お兄さんが一生懸命探してくれて見つかり、写真も撮れて嬉しかったです！
スタッフの方はすごく安全に配慮してくださり、初心者でも丁寧に教えてれるので親切で安心しました！ありがとうございました♪

We participated as a family of five, including our youngest child who is six years old. We encountered sea turtles right away. During the two hours, we were able to see about five or six of them. When we met a sea turtle, we were allowed to observe it closely for as long as we wanted, making the slow passage of time very precious.

Not only did we get to see the sea turtles, but we also enjoyed looking at corals and tropical fish at our leisure. This location is shallow and relatively small, so we felt no anxiety and it was very comfortable.

Our youngest had never gone snorkeling before, but they had no problems and enjoyed it thoroughly. During the transitions, the tour guide pulled us along, allowing us to safely watch the sea turtles. The explanations from the tour guide were clear and helpful.

Additionally, they focused on helping our family take natural photos with the sea turtles. Thanks to them, we got some wonderful pictures. The two hours flew by.

Thanks to this experience, I now have memories that make me want to visit Miyako Island again. Thank you very much!

末っ子6歳の子を含む5人家族で参加しました。
ウミガメにはすぐに遭遇。2時間の中で、5,6匹は会えました。ウミガメに会えると、満足いくまで帯同しながら観察させてもらえるので、ゆっくり流れる時間がとても貴重でした。
ウミガメだけでなく、サンゴや熱帯魚も好きなように見ることできました。こちらの場所は浅くて比較的狭いエリアで完結できるので不安もなく、とても快適でした。
末っ子はシュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、全く問題なく楽しんでました。移動時はツアーの方が引っ張ってくれるので、安心してウミガメを眺めることができました。
ツアーの方の説明はわかりやすくてよかったです。
また、家族が自然体でウミガメとの写真を撮れるよう注力してくれます。お陰で素敵な写真をいただきました。
あっという間の2時間でした。
おかげさまで、宮古島にまた行きたくなる思い出ができました。ありがとうございました

I signed up with my wife and our 6-year-old beginner child. The guide was very polite and infused with humor, making it a lot of fun. A sea turtle even came right up to us, and we got great photos. I wholeheartedly recommend this for beginners and families with children!

妻、子供(6歳)の初心者3人で申し込みました。
丁寧且つユーモアを交えたガイドで非常に楽しかったです。
ウミガメも目の前まで来てくれて記念写真もバッチリ。
初心者の方や、子供連れには無条件でおすすめします！

家族連れて初めての宮古島
ウミガメと出会って、子供達も大喜びでした。
サンゴ礁に色んな綺麗な熱帯魚もいて、大満足

We participated in this trip as a family with children. I was a bit anxious since we weren't used to the ocean, but the staff guided us carefully, allowing us to swim with peace of mind! Additionally, my fifth-grade child got seasick, but the staff responded flexibly, and in the end, our whole family was able to take pictures with a sea turtle! Thank you for the wonderful memories! ^_^

子連れの家族旅行で参加させていただきました。
海に慣れていないため不安がありましたが、スタッフさんが丁寧に誘導してくださり安心して泳ぐことができました！
また、小5の子どもが波酔いをしてしまいましたが、臨機応変に対応くださり最終的には家族全員でウミガメと写真を撮ることができました！
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました^⁠^

This was my first time seeing such a beautiful starry sky, and I was moved! It became a wonderful memory. Thank you for the lovely time and photos!

こんなに綺麗な星空を見たのは初めてで、感動しました！とても良い思い出になりました。素敵な時間と写真をありがとうございました！

I was able to meet a sea turtle this time! After entering the sea and receiving a brief lecture, we set off right away. I was able to see the sea turtle sooner than I expected (about 15 minutes after entering the water). It seemed to be accustomed to humans, allowing us to observe it slowly. It even came closer when we approached. Our guide, Kometchi, was lively and friendly, which was great. I was a bit anxious because I had experienced seasickness while snorkeling before, but he reassured me, saying, "Don't worry. If it seems like you're not okay, I'll take you back to land." Since I was able to see the sea turtle, I was allowed to return after about half the scheduled time. He took me back to shore and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get back safely," which I really appreciated. It was a kind gesture, and it became a wonderful memory.

(This time, it was a tour of the morning market at Shinjo Coast, but the parking lot was very crowded. I was able to park because it was the morning market, but arriving early is essential.)

今回ウミガメに会えました!
海に入り簡単なレクチャーを受けてすぐに出発。思っていたよりはすぐにウミガメに会えました(海に入り15分位)。人間に慣れているのかゆっくり見られます。近付いても来てくれます。担当のコメッチさんは元気で気さくな配慮のある人で良かったです。私はシュノーケリングで海酔いした経験もあるので不安でしたが「大丈夫。ダメそうだったら途中で陸まで送り届けます」と言ってくれて出発。ウミガメに会えたので予定の半分位の時間で私だけ引き返させてもらいました。陸まで送り届けてもらい「お子さん、ちゃんと見ますね」と言ってくれ、とてもありがたかったです。親切な対応でとても良い思い出になりました。
(今回は新城海岸の朝市のツアーでしたが駐車場がとても混んでいます。私は朝市なので停められましたが。早目の行動が必須です。)

The instructor was a kind young man, and even though we were clumsy, we were able to experience it without any anxiety! I was surprised that he took dozens of photos for us. I was also happy that he shared some interesting trivia! I was very satisfied. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to ask for his help again!

優しいインストラクターのお兄さんで、要領が悪い私たちでも不安なく体験できました！
写真も数十枚撮ってくださっていて、びっくりしました。
豆知識とかも教えてくださり嬉しかったです！
大満足でした。
次機会があれば、またお願いしたいです！

I participated in the stargazing night tour this time.
When I arrived at the shooting point, I was surprised by how amazing the starry sky was.
There were a few clouds, so it wasn't a completely clear night sky, but I was happy to see that the photos taken were very beautiful.
These are pictures I could never have captured myself.
They became wonderful memories of Miyako Island.

今回星空ナイトツアーに参加しました。
まず撮影ポイントに着くと星空が凄いのでびっくりしました。
少し雲があり完全な満点の星空ではなかったですが送られて写真をみてとても
綺麗に撮れていて良かったです。
とても自分では撮れない写真です。
宮古島の思い出の写真になりました。

We participated as a family of four, including a fifth-grade boy and a third-grade girl.
We saw turtles! They were munching on seaweed up close and coming up to the surface for air!
We also got to see many beautiful fish! There were clownfish, and they were so cute!
The guide was a kind young man who explained everything clearly and thoroughly about the sea turtles, corals, and Miyako Island, and he was very considerate towards the children, making the time spent outside of snorkeling very enjoyable as well.
I think even those who aren't used to swimming will be fine in the shallow waters. For those who still feel unsure, the guide reassured us by saying, "I'll pull you with a float!"
Also, during snorkeling, my daughter complained about her head and eyes hurting from the unfamiliar goggles, but the guide kindly adjusted them and gently encouraged her to take it easy, which helped her persevere until the end.

We were honestly surprised by how many photos of the turtles, corals, and fish we received. They were all beautifully taken!
I usually don't write reviews, but I hope this can serve as a reference for others considering snorkeling.
The guides were so great that I felt comfortable leaving everything in their hands!
Our whole family was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory!
If we go to Miyako Island again, we would definitely like to request this again. Thank you so much!

小5年男子、小3女子含む4人家族で参加させて頂きました。
カメさんいました！間近で海藻バクバク食べてたし、息するのに海面から顔出して息継ぎするし！！
たくさんのキレイな魚も見れました！クマノミもいてかわいかったです！
ガイドの方は優しいお兄さんで、ウミガメのことはもちろん珊瑚のこと、宮古島のことなど終始わかりやすく丁寧に説明してくださり、子供達にも優しく気遣ってくれてシュノーケル以外の時間もとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
思ってたより浅瀬で泳ぎになれない方でも大丈夫かと思います。それでも自信ない方はガイドの方が「浮き輪で引っ張りますよー」って声かけてくださるので安心ですよ！
また、シュノーケル途中でうちの娘が慣れないゴーグルで頭が痛い、目が痛いなど訴えてしまいましたが、ガイドの方が丁寧に調整してくれたり「無理しないで」と優しく声掛け接してくれたおかげで娘も最後までがんばれました。

写真もウミガメとの写真、珊瑚や魚たちの写真をすごくたくさん送っていただき正直驚きました。もちろんキレイに写ってます！
普段は体験談など書かないのですが、、シュノーケル考えている他の方への参考になればと思います。
それに書きたくなるぐらいとても良い感じの兄さん達なので安心して任せられます！
家族全員とても満足で、とてもいい思い出となりました！！
また宮古島へ行った際は、ぜひお願いしたいです。本当にありがとうございました！！

I was able to see four sea turtles, took a lot of photos, and the guide's stories were interesting! They also made sure to give us enough time to practice, so everything went smoothly!

ウミガメ4匹も見れたし、写真も沢山取れたし、ガイドさんのお話も面白かった！しっかり練習する時間とかも取ってくれたので特に問題なく行けました！
