All Reviews for Japan Hidden Gems: Secret Islands

It was a satisfying tour where I got to meet three sea turtles. They also took photos for us.

Since we were the only participants in the canoe, they took a lot of photos while staying with us, and we also got to experience stand-up paddleboarding. They were incredibly kind, and I made wonderful memories for my honeymoon! I plan to ask for their services again when I come back to Miyako Island. Thank you!

ウミガメ3匹と会うことが出来て、満足できるツアーでした。
写真も撮っていただきました。

カヌーは参加者が自分たちだけだったので、付きっきりでたくさん写真を撮っていただいて、サップの体験もさせてもらいました。
すごい親切にして頂き、素敵な新婚旅行の思い出が出来ました！
また宮古島に来た時にはお願いしようと思います^ ^
ありがとうございました！

It was my first time doing SUP, and I was able to do it without falling even once! The instructor kindly taught me how to use the paddle and where to position myself, and even though it was windy, I was able to paddle through it. Kei, the instructor, took a lot of photos and sent me some wonderful pictures on the same day, so I was able to reminisce about the fun memories while chatting at night! Thank you very much! ♪ I was lucky to encounter a sea turtle, which I had always wanted to see! ☺️

初めてのSUPでしたが、一度も落ちることもなく出来ました！パドルの使い方や、乗る位置など丁寧に教えてくださり、風が強かったのですが漕ぎ切ることができましたインストラクターのけいさんが写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、当日には素敵な写真を送ってくれたので、楽しかった思い出を夜に話しながら、振り返ることも出来ました！ありがとうございました♪
ウミガメは、ずっと見たかったので運良く出会えてよかったです☺️

I received an email the day before the reservation stating that there is a parking fee of 1,000 yen. It also mentioned that prescription goggles would cost an additional 1,000 yen. I have done snorkeling with other tours from Veltra, and they did not charge extra for prescription goggles. If there is an additional fee, I believe it should be clearly explained at the time of booking.

As for the tour itself, I was able to see sea turtles, and the SUP was fun, so overall, I was satisfied.

予約日の前日にメールが来て、駐車場代1000円かかります。度付きのゴーグルは1000円かかりますとの事でした。シュノーケリング、他のベルトラのツアーでしましたけど、度付きのゴーグルは、別料金取られませんでした。別料金取るのなら、予約の段階できちんと説明すべきではと思います。
ツアー自体は、ウミガメも見れたし、SUPも楽しかったし、満足のいく物でした。

We brought our small children, but thanks to the warm support of the kind staff, we were able to take photos without being scared of the darkness! We were moved by the beautiful starry sky! We are talking as a family about wanting to come back every year. Thank you for sending the photos so quickly! We made the best memories!

小さい子供連れでしたが、優しいお兄さんの温かい対応のおかげで、暗闇も怖がらず撮影ができました！！美しい星空に感動しました！！毎年行きたいね、と家族で話しています。写真もすぐに送っていただきありがとうございました！！最高の思い出ができました！！

I made a reservation about two days before the travel date, but I’m really glad I was able to participate under a perfect starry sky. I would like to join again when I come back to Miyako Island.

旅行日の2日前くらいに予約しての参加やったけど
満点の星空で本当に参加できて良かったです。
また宮古島に来たときゎ参加したいと思います。

I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience, but the person in charge was friendly and made the shoot very enjoyable. I hadn't thought much about poses, but they suggested some, which made the shooting go smoothly. The starry sky was also amazing! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

初めての体験だったので不安がありましたが、担当の方がフレンドリーに話しかけて下さりとても楽しく撮影ができました。ポーズは特に考えていなかったのですが、担当の方が提案して下さりスムーズに撮影することができました。星空も最高でした！楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！

Despite the sudden application, I was able to experience it. The duration is about 30 minutes, so I can recommend it to those with limited time.

The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so it might be better to check it out during the day.

急な申込みにも関わらず、体験することができました。
所要時間も30分程度で終わるので時間が限られている人にもオススメできます。

集合場所はわかりづらいので、日中に下見したほうが良いかも

Knowing that the next day would be clear, I made a last-minute reservation the night before the experience. Since it was a sudden decision, I didn't know any good spots to capture the beautiful starry sky, and I didn't have high-performance equipment, so I was really grateful for the help.

I arrived earlier than the meeting time and enjoyed the starry sky before capturing photos with the beautiful scenery. Every time I look at the photos, I can remember that view over and over again. I'm really glad I participated in the tour instead of just watching. Thank you very much!

For those taking a taxi, it seems that it's difficult to catch one at night, so I recommend arranging for your hotel to help you with that in advance, including for your return trip.

翌日が快晴と知って、体験前日の夜に急遽予約させて頂きました。
突然の思いつきだったので、星空を綺麗に撮影できる場所も知りませんでしたし、高性能な機材も持っていなかったので本当に助かりました。
集合時間より早めに到着し星空を満喫してから、美しい星空と一緒に写真に収めて頂けたので、写真を見る度に何度でもあの景色を思い出す事が出来ています。
ただ眺めるだけでなく、ツアーに参加させて頂いて本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました！

タクシーで参加される方は、夜間帯のタクシーは捕まりづらいようなので、余裕を持ってホテルにお願いしておき、帰りの分もその際に手配してもらうことをおすすめします。

Thank you for beautifully capturing the Milky Way. You were kind and attentive. It was truly wonderful. Thank you very much.

天の川綺麗に撮影して頂きありがとうございました。
親切で丁寧でした。
本当によかったです。
ありがとうございました。

In a place so dark that I wouldn't normally go there at night unless on a tour, I got out of the car to find a sky full of stars, seeing a number of stars that I usually can't see. After moving a little, we talked about the stars while enjoying summer-like background music, and we were able to see the Milky Way without any clouds, creating the best memories. There was a surprising incident on the way back when we were attacked by a giant spider, but that too became an unforgettable memory.

ツアーでなければ夜に行くことはないような真っ暗な場所で車から降りるとすでに満天の星空で普段観る事の出来ない数の星を見ることができました。少し移動して夏らしいBGMの中星の話をしつつの撮影で雲もなく天の川まで見ることができて最高の思い出になりました。帰りの車で巨大な蜘蛛に襲われるハプニングはありましたがそれもまた忘れられない思い出です。

It was my first time taking photos, but I received guidance on positioning and poses, and we were able to capture romantic pictures. It became a wonderful memory for us as a couple.

初めての写真撮りでしたが、立ち位置やポーズの案内をしていただき、ロマンチックな写真を撮っていただきました。夫婦のいい思い出になりました。

I was very satisfied with the starry sky of Miyako Island. They were accommodating with pose requests, so if you have specific poses in mind, I think it would be better to research them in advance. I had a great time during the shoot.

宮古島の満天の星を残せて大満足です。
ポーズの要望も通るので
やりたいポーズがあれば調べておくとより良いと思います。
楽しく撮影できました。

Thank you for being so kind to my 6-year-old daughter; it became a wonderful memory. We would love to do it again next time. Thank you very much!

6歳の娘にも優しく接していただき、とても良い思い出になりました。また次来た時もやりたいですね。
本当にありがとうございました

It was truly amazing. Before the shoot, I was a bit anxious about whether I was on the right path to the meeting place, but if you follow the navigation, you will definitely arrive, so trust the GPS and go for it! (laughs)

The staff I met were very friendly and easy to talk to. They listened carefully to my requests during the shoot, and their approachable demeanor made it easy to communicate.

Before the shoot, there were quite a few clouds, and they asked if I wanted to wait or reschedule. Fortunately, we were able to capture the moment when the clouds cleared.

They provided clear instructions on poses and composition, and they showed me the images on the spot, which made me feel reassured to leave everything in their hands.

Thank you very much!

ほんと最高でした。
撮影前は待ち合わせ場所への道中があっているのか不安になるような周囲でしたが、ナビにしたがっていけばちゃんと辿り着きましたのでナビを信じて突き進んでください笑
無事合流したスタッフさんもとても気さくで話しやすく、撮影時の要望などもきちんと聞いてくれて、またその雰囲気から伝えやすいです。
撮影前、少し雲が多かったので待つか日を改めるかと聞いてくださり、その後雲がはれた瞬間を狙って無事撮ることができました。
ポーズやら構図やらもわかりやすく指示してくださいますし、撮った画像もその場でみせていただけるので安心してお任せできるお店でした。
ありがとうございました！

When I arrived at the parking lot and looked up at the sky, it was filled with stars! I could also see the Milky Way. While taking photos, they played music, which created a great atmosphere. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished photos. I would like to use this service again when I come to Miyako Island.

駐車場に着いて空を見上げたら、満天の星空！
天の川も見れました。
写真撮影中、音楽も流してくれて雰囲気も良かったです。
写真の出来上がりが楽しみです。
宮古島に来たらまた利用したいと思います。

I brought a dress and planned to take photos myself, but I happened to encounter a family that was taking pictures, and their photos were so beautiful that I made a last-minute reservation! The assistance during the reservation and the photo shoot was very kind. They also gave me pose instructions, and I’m looking forward to the finished product. Thank you very much.

ドレスを持参し、セルフで撮影の予定でしたがたまたま撮影をしている家族と遭遇し、その写真が綺麗すぎて急遽予約しました！予約時の対応も撮影の対応もとても親切でした。ポーズも指示して頂き、出来上がりが楽しみです。ありがとうございました。

I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) divided into morning and afternoon sessions.

I was a bit anxious about whether I would see sea turtles, but I was able to see them clearly. During the experience, the instructor took photos for us, and I received some precious pictures, including a two-shot with a sea turtle.

Both snorkeling and SUP were almost my first time, but the instructor taught us well, and I was able to enjoy the entire experience.

午前と午後に分かれてシュノーケリング、とSUPの2つを体験しました。


ウミガメが見れるか不安な気持ちもありましたがしっかり見ることができました。
体験中にはインストラクターの方が写真を撮ってくださり、ウミガメとの2ショットなど貴重な写真も頂けました。

シュノーケリングもSUPもほとんど初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方がしっかり教えてくださり終始楽しむことができました。

It was my first time, but they were very kind and listened to my requests for angles and poses to capture the beautiful starry sky. It was a precious and enjoyable time, and I am very satisfied. If I want to take starry sky photos again, I would definitely like to ask for their help here.

初めてでしたが、星空が綺麗に撮れるアングルやポーズの相談も聞いていただけて、とても親切でした。貴重で楽しい時間になり満足しています。星空フォトを撮るなら、絶対またこちらでお願いしたいです。

I was able to capture the starry sky in Miyako Island in photos, and it became a wonderful memory! I definitely want to request this again next time!☆

宮古島で見た満天の星空を写真に残せてすごく良い思い出になりました！！
次回も絶対お願いしたいです☆

The weather was great, and I was able to see sea turtles, so it was amazing! I also had fun paddleboarding, so I hope to do it again next time!

天候も恵まれてウミガメも見れたので最高でした！
サップも楽しくできたのでまた次来た時もお願いします！

When I arrived at the meeting place, I was greeted by the staff, who guided me to the shooting location, which made me feel at ease.

Once the shoot began, they asked about my preferred poses, and even provided pose suggestions when I didn't have any, resulting in some truly wonderful photos!

They also played background music during the shoot, making the experience enjoyable! Thank you very much!

集合場所に到着すると、
担当の方からお声掛けいただいて、
撮影地まで案内してくださり安心しました。

撮影が始まると、ポーズの希望だったり、
希望がないとポーズの指示までしてくださり
とても素敵な写真が撮れました！

途中BGMも流して下さり、撮影中も楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in a trip with three women. The weather was nice, and we could see the beautiful Milky Way with the naked eye, plus we even saw shooting stars! The photographer was kind and took pictures of us in free poses, which was really fun! Thank you for a wonderful time!

女子3人旅で参加させていただきました。天気が良く肉眼でも綺麗な天の川が見れておまけに流れ星も見れました！カメラマンさんも優しく、自由なポーズでも撮影してくれてとっても楽しかったです！素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

Thank you for taking the starry sky photos. I was told there would be six, but since there was time, you took many more. I'm very satisfied with the results!

星空フォト撮っていただきありがとうございました。6枚とのことですが、時間があったのでたくさん撮っていただきました。仕上がりも大満足です！

I participated the other day! I was worried about the impact of the typhoon just a few days prior, but I was truly moved to see such a beautiful starry sky... They gave me advice on how to pose for the photos and took several shots for me. I wasn't very accustomed to being photographed, so I felt a bit shy, but it became a wonderful memory of my trip! The photos were, of course, beautiful, but actually being there, feeling the wind, listening to the sound of the waves, and looking up at the stars was just too wonderful! Thank you very much ☺️ I hope to visit Miyako again!

先日参加させて頂きました！
数日前まで台風もあり、影響を心配してましたが本当に綺麗な星空を見ることができて感動しました…
写真もポーズはこうしたらいいんじゃないかとアドバイスをくださりながら何枚か撮っていただき、撮影には慣れていなかったため、少し恥じらいはありましたが旅の良い思い出となりました！
写真ももちろん綺麗でしたが、実際に行ってみて
風を感じながら、波音を聴きながら星を見上げる時間は素敵すぎました！
ありがとうございました☺️
また宮古を訪れた際にはお願いいたします！

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but we were still able to see the stars beautifully! The photos turned out really nice, and it became a wonderful memory of our honeymoon. Thank you!

当日はやや薄かったようですが、それでもとても綺麗に星が見えました！出来上がった写真もすごく綺麗で、新婚旅行の思い出になりました、ありがとうございました！

I participated with my 3-year-old child.
It was a great experience where we could enjoy both SUP and snorkeling together!
Thank you for being a wonderful guide and taking care of my child.
I was really happy to see a sea turtle.
I would love to participate again!

3歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
supもシュノーケリングも一緒に楽しめて、とてもいい体験でした！
子供も気にかけてくれながら素敵なガイドをしてくださりありがとうございました。
ウミガメにも会えて、すごく嬉しかったです。
また参加したいと思います！

When I went to the shooting location at Musunun Beach, it was pitch dark and a little scary, but once I arrived, the starry sky was so beautiful that I was moved. The photos taken were even more beautiful than I had imagined and they were truly wonderful!! The photographer also asked me about the poses I wanted, which was great. Additionally, the photographer suggested a few poses, so I didn't have any trouble with that, which was also nice! It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

撮影場所のムスヌン浜に行くときは真っ暗で少し怖かったのですが、着いてみると星空がとても綺麗で感動しました。撮影してもらった写真は、想像以上に綺麗で、とっても素敵でした！！やりたいポーズも聞いてくれたので良かったです。また、カメラマンさんからもいくつかポーズを指定してもらえて、ポーズに困らなかったのも良かったです！
素敵な思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

Even a completely unskilled swimmer like me received gentle support, and I was able to take photos with the sea turtles without giving up. I was very moved. They took many pictures, which have become treasures for me. It was a wonderful tour that makes me want to go again. Thank you very much.

泳ぎが全くダメなおばさんでも、無理なくやさしくサポートしていただき
断念することなく何とか海亀と写真におさまることが出来、大変感激しました
写真もたくさん撮って頂き宝物になりました。
また行きたいな～と思わせてくれる素敵なツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I thought it would be difficult to carry out the activity due to the thick clouds caused by the typhoon, but after waiting a little, the clouds cleared, and I was able to take photos under a starry sky! The staff were very kind, making it a fun experience! I look forward to seeing the finished photos! Thank you very much!!

台風の影響で分厚めな雲が夜空にかかって実施するのは難しいかと思いましたが、少し待ってみると雲も流れ、満点の星空の中で撮影が出来ました！
スタッフの方もとても親切で楽しい撮影になりました！
写真の出来上がりを楽しみに待ちたいと思います！
ありがとうございました！！

My spouse and I participated in this tour. It was a somewhat cloudy day, but when it came time for the photography, the clouds cleared, revealing a stunning starry sky, and we were able to take incredibly beautiful photos. I had never seen such a beautiful and breathtaking starry sky before, and I was truly moved. The scenery was so different from where I live that I questioned whether this was really the same Earth. I definitely think anyone visiting Miyako Island should join this tour. I can recommend it 100%.

夫婦2人で参加させていただきました。少し雲の多い日でしたが撮影となると雲1つなく満点の星空となり、とってもキレイなお写真を撮っていただくことができました。あんなにもキレイで美しい星空を今まで見たことがなく本当に感動しました。私が住んでいる所とはあまりにも違う景色で
、これが本当に同じ地球なのかと疑問に思うほどです。宮古島へ行く際は絶対このツアーに参加したほうがいいと思います。100％おすすめできます。
