All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

The clear-bottom kayak at Manza Beach allowed us to see underwater. Although there were some waves, they were minimal for the ocean. It was a hot day, but the sea breeze made it enjoyable, and we could see tropical fish through the kayak's bottom, making for a fun time. I felt like I wanted to go a bit further out.

At one point, the instructor dove down to collect starfish and sea cucumbers for the participants to see before returning them to the sea, which was a nice memory. However, I took my wife, who was trying kayaking for the first time, and even with these small waves, she experienced some seasickness. For those who might be prone to seasickness, it's worth noting that the ocean is a bit different from rivers or lakes, so caution may be needed.

万座毛での船底がクリアで海の中が見えるカヤック。
波は多少あるものの海であればほんの僅かなもの。
暑かった日であるが海風が有り、熱帯魚は船底で見えるし楽しかった時間です。もう少し沖まで出たい気持ちでした。
途中でインストラクターが素潜りでヒトデやナマコを取り参加者がどんなものか見たのち海に返しましたがいい思い出です。
ただ、今回はカヤック初挑戦の女房を乗せたが、この程度の波でも船酔？
船酔いの可能性のある方は、川や湖と多少違うので、注意が必要かも？

When I went to Okinawa, I definitely wanted to do a mangrove kayak tour, but I ended up making a reservation three days in advance after checking the weather. At first, I thought it would be a tour focused on paddling hard, but in reality, there was a lot of nature observation and explanations. They not only shared information about Okinawa's nature but also taught us about other things, making it a rich canoe tour. The staff were kind, and I created great memories on the first day of my trip.

沖縄に行ったらマングローブカヤックを絶対やりたかったのですが、天気の様子を見てから予約をと考えていて3日前の予約になってしまいました。
最初はがっつりカヤックを漕いで行くツアーなのかな？と思っていましたが
実際は自然観察や説明も多く、沖縄の自然だけでは無く、他の事まで聞くと教えてくれ中身の濃いカヌーツアーでした。
スタッフの方も親切で旅行初日の良い想い出が出来ました。

It was my first experience with kayaking, but the staff explained everything clearly and very politely, which made me feel at ease while participating.

カヤックの体験は始めてでしたが、スタッフの方が分かりやすくとても丁寧に説明して下さり、安心して取り組めました。

The brother who assisted me was polite, which was great. Thank you very much. Thank you for the beautiful scenery.

担当してくれた、お兄さんが丁寧でよかったです。
ありがとうございました。
綺麗な景色をありがとうございました
^_^

The weather was great, and I was able to see beautiful views of the mangroves and the sunset! I was grateful for the same-day reservation support. Kayaking was fun and it became a wonderful experience. Thank you!

天気良好でマングローブも夕日もとてもいい景色が見られました！
当日予約ご対応いただきありがたかったです。
カヤックを漕ぐのも楽しく良い体験になりました。
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the kayaking and blue cave snorkeling tour in Yomitan Village. Kayaking in the crystal-clear sea was amazing. The drone footage turned out beautifully, like a commercial! The staff were kind and attentive. I visit Okinawa every year, so I would like to join the SAP tour here next time. Thank you!

読谷村のカヤッキングと青の洞窟シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。透明度の高い海でのカヤッキング、最高でした。ドローン撮影の仕上がりもCM撮影のようで感動です！スタッフさんも親切、丁寧で沖縄には毎年行くので次回はこちらでSAPツアーに参加したいです、ありがとうございました！

今度は朝の部に参加したい！

I took the bus to the meeting point for the canoeing, but I ended up being much later than expected. I apologize for the inconvenience, but they were very kind and accommodating. The tour was explained in detail, and it was really interesting. Since this time was a tour during high tide, I would like to participate during low tide next time.

The snorkeling was very comfortable. The instructor helped pull me along, so I was fine even when I got tired later on. The Blue Cave was very beautiful, and the surrounding sea was truly lovely. After the tour, there was a shower available, and it was great that I could use shampoo as well. Also, the welcome drink was served at the café above, and it was much better than I expected.

カヌーの集合場所にバスで向かったのですが想像以上に遅れてしまい、ご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、とても親切に対応していただきました
ツアーも詳しく説明してもらい、とても面白かったです。
今回は満潮時のツアーだったので、次回は干潮時に参加してみたいと思います

スノーケルはとても快適でした。インストラクターの方に引っ張ってもらえたので、後半疲れても大丈夫でした
青の洞窟はとても綺麗でその周りの海もほんと素敵でした
ツアー後はシャワーがあり、しかもシャンプーも使えたのが助かりました
あと、ウェルカムドリンクは上のカフェで飲めて、想像よりしっかりしててとてもよかった

I thought it would mainly be kayaking, but it was a relaxed tour where we learned interesting facts about mangroves and the ecosystem. It would be even more fun if there was more time for serious paddling.

カヤックを漕ぐのかメインかと思っていましたが、マングローブや生態系についての豆知識を聞きながらのゆったりしたツアーでした。ガッツリ漕ぐ時間があるとさらに楽しいです。

I was planning to watch the sunset, but due to cloudy weather, they looked for ways for the participants to enjoy themselves! They attend to you kindly and politely, so even beginners can feel at ease!

サンセットを見る予定でしたが、天候が曇りのため、参加者が楽しめる方法を探してくれました！
優しく丁寧にアテンドしてもらえるので、初心者でも安心できます！

We experienced this as a family with our two elementary school children. The kind explanations and easy-to-understand commentary made it very enjoyable even for beginners. Since it was low tide, we were able to go under the mangroves and see many crabs and fish called "ton-ton-mi." Additionally, we unexpectedly encountered a mongoose and bats, which made it a great way to enjoy nature easily.

小学生の子供2人つれて家族で体験しました。
親切な説明と分かりやすい解説がつき、初心者でもとても楽しめました。
干潮時だったので、マングローブの下をくぐれたり、カニやトントンミーという魚もたくさん見られました。
さらに、偶然にもマングースとコウモリにも遭遇でき、お手軽に自然を堪能できてとてもよかったです。

I caused various inconveniences during my first experience, but you responded with a smile without showing any displeasure, and I was able to take beautiful photos with the sunset, which made for a great experience.

I would like to request your services again the next time I come to Okinawa!

初体験で色々とご迷惑をかけてしまいましたが、嫌な顔一つせず笑顔でご対応頂きまた綺麗なサンセットとともに写真を撮って頂き良い経験ができました。

また次回沖縄に来た際はお願いしたいと思います！

Thanks to the detailed instructions on how to operate the kayak, I was able to paddle very well! Please be careful as the yellow leaves are quite salty, and mongooses tend to be exterminated.

カヤックの操作方法について丁寧に教えていただいたおかげで、とっても上手に漕げました！
黄色い葉っぱは塩分強め、マングースは駆除されがちなので気をつけてください！

I found an evening tour after many early morning kayak options. It was a sea kayaking experience timed for sunset, but unfortunately, due to cloudy weather, we decided to switch to a mangrove tour. Both options were hard to choose from, but this time we went with the mangroves. My husband and I participated together, and even though we weren't very confident in our stamina, we were able to take turns since it was a tandem kayak. The sacred banyan tree was impressive, and we enjoyed a relaxing kayaking tour. The teppanyaki restaurant that the staff recommended was also very delicious.

朝早いツアーが多いカヤックでしたが夕方ツアーを見つけて参加しました。サンセットの時間に合わせたシーカヤックでしたがあいにくの曇天でサンセットが見えないと判断すればマングローブの皮に変更。どちらも捨て難いツアーでしたが今回はマングローブでした。夫と2人で参加、体力に自信がなくても二人乗りなので交代で頑張れました。神木ガジュマルの木も圧巻、のんびりカヤックのツアーが楽しめました。スタッフのお兄さんに紹介してもらった鉄板焼きのお店もとても美味しかったです。

It was my first time kayaking, but I was taught carefully, and there was also a guide for the surrounding plants and animals, which made it very enjoyable. I received many photos, and I am very satisfied. I caught five fish, but my son caught none and was quite sulky about it; however, I believe this was a good lesson for him (laughs).

The next day, we were scheduled for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to strong winds, we changed our plans and went snorkeling in a safe shallow area with lots of coral and tropical fish. Since we had children with us, safety was the priority, and I am very grateful for this consideration. My son, who was snorkeling for the first time, was very happy. In addition to lending us equipment, they provided cold weather measures, drinks, and took many photos to send us, showing great attention to detail and allowing us to have a wonderful time. I would like to try snorkeling at the Blue Cave again someday when my son is a bit older!

カヤック初挑戦でしたが丁寧に教えて頂きまた周囲の植物、動物のガイドもありとても楽しめました。たくさんの写真も送ってもらいとても満足しています。釣りは私は5匹も釣れましたが、むすこは0匹ですっかり拗ねてしまいましたがこれも良い教育であったと思っています（笑）。
翌日青の洞窟シュノーケリング予定でしたが、強風ため予定変更で安全な浅瀬でたくさんの珊瑚や熱帯魚がいるエリアでのシュノーケリングとなりました。子連れであったし安全第一で、むしろこの配慮にたいへん感謝しています。シュノーケリング初体験の息子もとても喜んでいました。道具の貸し出しの他、寒さ対策や飲み物、写真をたくさん撮って送っていただいたり、細やかな気配りと楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。またいつか、息子がもう少し大きくなったころに青の洞窟に再チャレンジしたいと思います❗

I was able to watch the sunset while kayaking.
The meeting place was convenient as it showed up on Google Maps!
I recommend bringing or wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet and that allow for easy movement.
Even beginners were able to ride the kayak! It was a very beautiful sunset and a great experience (＾ν＾).

カヤックになって夕日を見ることができた。
集合場所はGoogleマップで出てくるため便利だった！
濡れてもいい、動きやすい服装を持参、または着て行くことをおすすめします。
初心者でもカヤックに乗ることができました！とても綺麗な夕日でいい体験になりました（＾ν＾）

The guide was kind and explained everything clearly, making it enjoyable. We had enough time to the point where it felt like time flew by. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが優しく教えてくれて、説明もわかりやすく楽しめました。時間があっという間に過ぎてしまうほど充分な時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I was glad to enjoy the beautiful sunset with favorable weather. I was initially worried about whether I could paddle the kayak well, but thanks to the thorough explanation and practice before getting on the boat, I was able to have fun even though I usually don't exercise.

天気にも恵まれ綺麗な夕日を楽しむことができてよかったです。カヤックをうまく漕げるか最初は不安でしたが丁寧な説明と船に乗る前の練習があったので、普段は運動をしない私でも楽しむことができました。

Mr. Tenshin shared various stories, and I learned a lot. It was interesting. We got stuck in the mangroves and couldn't see the sunset, but it was fun. I wouldn't have minded if it had been an hour longer! I'm glad we didn't capsize~ (^◇^;)

天心さんがいろいろな話をしてくれて、勉強になりました。面白かったです。マングローブに突っ込んだり、夕陽が見れなかったりしたけど、楽しかったです。あと１時間長くてもへっちゃらです！転覆しなくてヨカッタ〜(^◇^;)

Although it was a bit disappointing not to see the sunset due to the weather, the detailed instructions from the coach made it possible to get in the water and try out the experience for myself.

虽然因为天气原因没能看到夕阳落日有点遗憾，但有教练细致的说明，自己下水动手滑整体体验一下还是可以的。

On January 1, 2023, the weather for kayaking was perfect with no wind and great conditions. ☀️

The staff's guidance was attentive, and their explanations about the natural plants were easy to understand. They also answered our questions thoroughly.

We went kayaking as a group of three, including our 5-year-old child, and the kayak was stable and easy to maneuver.

2023.1.1にカヤック天候も良く風も無く最高のカヤック日和でした☀️

スタッフさんの案内も丁寧で自然植物の説明も分かりやすく質問にもしっかり答えて頂きました。

私達は、5歳の子供含め3人でカヤックに乗りましたが安定さカヤックで操作もしやすかったです。

It was my first experience with both kayaking and fishing, but the guide Mizuki and the captain were both wonderful people, and our conversations were enjoyable! They also shared recommendations, which made the trip even more fun! Of course, both kayaking and fishing were enjoyable, and I would love to experience them again if I get the chance to go to Okinawa! Thank you very much!!!

カヤックも船釣りも初体験でしたが、ガイドのみずきさんも船長さんもとても素敵な方でお話も楽しかったです！オススメなども教えていただき、さらに楽しい旅になりました！
もちろんカヤックも釣りも楽しくて、また沖縄に行けたら体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！！！

My wife and I participated together.
It took about an hour to get to the meeting point at Kadena Fishing Port using the route bus from Kencho Kitaguchi Station to Mizugama Station.
On the day we participated, we started with fishing, followed by kayaking. We moved by boat to the fishing spot, but it wasn't a case of catching fish one after another; we caught about 3 to 4 fish in an hour and a half. However, I enjoyed it because we caught fish I had never seen before. For kayaking, we paddled around the mangroves near Kadena Fishing Port. The staff provided thorough instructions, so I was able to experience it without any anxiety. It was a fulfilling experience as we learned about mangroves and saw unique creatures like fiddler crabs and mudskippers that are typical of tidal flats.
Afterward, we had the fish we caught prepared at a nearby restaurant, served as a set meal. In addition to the fish we caught, we also enjoyed sashimi and garlic-grilled fish, making for a hearty meal.

妻と2人で参加しました。
集合場所の嘉手納漁港までは県庁北口駅から水釜駅まで路線バスを利用して約1時間の移動でした。
我々が参加した日は釣りが先で、その後カヤックという順番でした。釣りはポイントまで船で移動して始まりましたが、入れ食いという感じではなく、1時間半ほとで3〜4匹の釣果でした。でも、初めて見るような魚が釣れたので楽しめました。カヤックは嘉手納漁港周辺のマングローブを見に、カヤックで移動しました。スタッフの方が丁寧に教えてくださったので、不安なく体験できました。マングローブの知識を教えてもらったり、シオマネキやトビハゼなど干潟ならではの生き物を見れたりと充実した体験になりました。
その後、近くの食事処で釣った魚を調理してもらい、定食としていただきました。釣った魚以外にもお刺身や魚のガーリック焼きなどが出たのでボリューム満点でした。

I wanted to give my 4-year-old daughter an experience in Okinawa, so we participated in kayaking. My wife and I did the steering ourselves, but she seemed really satisfied with riding a kayak for the first time! Also, the staff member in charge was very polite and kind, which was a great help. If we have the chance, I would like to participate again(^^).

4歳の娘に何か沖縄で体験させてあげたいと思いカヤックに参加。操縦自体は自分と妻でやりましたが、初めて乗るカヤックに凄く満足だったみたいです！また、担当のお兄さんがすごく丁寧で優しくて大変助かりました。機会があればまた参加したいと思います(^^)

I had a great time kayaking since I'm quite skilled at it. I was grateful that I couldn't take pictures myself. As expected, I was on the verge of getting seasick while fishing from the boat. I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help. It seems that being afloat while not moving is what really bothers me. From now on, I'll focus on shore fishing!

カヤックはお手の物なので楽しめました。自分で画像は撮れないので有り難かったです。船釣りはやはり予想通り酔う寸前でした。酔いどめ飲んだんですがやはりダメでした。動いている時よりプカプカ浮いている状況がダメみたいです。今後は岸釣りに専念します!

I had an amazing time kayaking in the beautiful waters of Okinawa. Even in December, the seawater was pleasantly warm and felt great to touch. My sister was kayaking for the first time, and she was really scared at first, thinking she might drown because of my poor steering. However, the bright and kind instructor taught us patiently, which made her feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

We opted for the drone filming plan, and they filmed for a longer time than we expected, providing us with a lot of videos. It was a great memory since it was my sister's first trip in three years, and she has been busy with parenting.

The initial reservation date had bad weather, but we were able to change the schedule, and I’m really glad we could finally go kayaking as we had been looking forward to it. Thank you very much!

綺麗な沖縄の海で伸び伸びとシーカヤックができて最高に楽しかったです。（12月でも海水がほんのり温かくて、触ると気持ちよかったです。）
妹ははじめてのカヤックで、私の操作が下手すぎてはじめは溺れてしまうのでは・・ととても怖かったようですが、明るく親切なインストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくださって安心して楽しめたと言っていました。
ドローン撮影プランにしたのですが、思っていたよりも長い時間撮影いただいて動画をたくさんいただきました。子育てに忙しい妹と3年ぶりの旅行だったので良い記念になりました。
最初の予約日は天候が悪く、日程変更いただくことができ、楽しみにしていたシーカヤックができて本当によかったです。ありがとうございました。

I participated in fishing from a kayak. The guide, Ami, was very kind and taught us about the types of trees and their history, which made the experience much more enjoyable than just riding normally. We caught about 20 fish, and after getting off the kayak, we took the fish to an izakaya she recommended, where they prepared sashimi, fried fish, and oil sautéed dishes for us. We enjoyed them deliciously with sake and were very satisfied!

カヤックからの釣りに参加しました。
カヤックでは、案内してくださった亜美さんがとても親切で^ ^木の種類や歴史などを教えてくれて、普通に乗るより数段楽しめました(^-^)
釣りも20匹ほど釣れて、降りてから紹介してくれた居酒屋に釣れた魚を持っていき　刺身や揚げ魚　オイルソテーにしてくれて・・日本酒と美味しくいただき大満足でした(^O^)

We participated as a group of four, and even when one person was late, they waited for us and kindly taught us how to paddle properly. It was a very polite and friendly experience, and we had a great time kayaking! Additionally, the instructor's explanations were very interesting, making it not only fun but also educational. Thank you for this valuable experience! I want to come back again!!!

4人で参加しましたが、片方が遅れても待ってくれたり、うまいこぎ方を教えてくれたり、とても丁寧で優しかったので、楽しくカヤック体験が出来ました！
また、インストラクターさんの説明もとても面白くて、楽しいだけじゃなく勉強にもなりました。貴重な経験をありがとうございましたー！！
また来たいです！！！

I took my 3-year-old daughter and grandmother with me. Since it was her first time kayaking, I was worried she might be scared, but once she received her life jacket and paddle, she paddled hard and showed no signs of fear.

I think it was because the instructor talked to her a lot and helped boost her excitement!

We took photos with the instructor's smartphone, and the next day, they sent us nearly 30 pictures, which I was very satisfied with! When my daughter gets a little older, I want to try fishing on a boat next!

3歳の娘とおばあちゃんを連れて行きました。
初めてのカヤックだったので怖がるかな？と思っていましたが、ライフジャケットとパドルを受け取ると一生懸命漕いでおり、怖がる様子はありませんでした。

インストラクターの方にたくさん話しかけてもらい、テンションを上げてもらったからだと思います！

写真はインストラクターの方のスマホで撮ってもらい、翌日30枚近くの写真を送っていただき満足です！！
子どもがもう少し大きくなったら、次は船に乗って釣りに挑戦したいと思います！

The weather wasn't great, so I couldn't go to the sunset, but our guide Ami was kind, had a lovely smile, and was very friendly, which made the experience very pleasant! If I go kayaking again, I would love to request Ami! Thank you very much!

天気はすぐれなくてサンセットは行けなかったですが、案内のあみさんが優しくて、笑顔も可愛くて、親切で、とても和やかな気持ちで体験することが出来ました！
またカヤックするなら、あみさんにお願いしたいなー、と思ってます！ありがとうございました
