All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

The guide was very kind, and I had a great time. The kayaking was fun, and I was able to visit the Blue Cave with peace of mind.

ガイドの方もとても親切で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
カヤックも楽しく、青の洞窟も安心して行けました。

I had no luck with the Blue Grotto tour, as it was canceled due to bad weather five times over the past 12 years, but I finally got to visit the Blue Grotto! The instructor was also very good at talking, and I had a great time!

青の洞窟ツアーに縁がなく、過去12年間、5回も天候不順でツアー催行不可でしたが、念願の青の洞窟に行けました！
インストラクターさんも話し上手で、とても楽しめました！

It was my first time kayaking, but I felt at ease during the experience because they taught me how to paddle carefully. The plan included exploring the mangroves in the first half and then heading out to the sea to enjoy the sunset in the second half. I was able to feel nature up close, and the sea breeze and coolness of the evening were very pleasant. They also took beautiful photos, making it a great summer memory.

カヤックは初めてでしたが、乗り方を丁寧に教えていただいたので安心して体験できました。
前半はマングローブ、後半は海の方へ出てサンセットを拝むプラン。いつもより近くで自然を感じられ、海風や夜の涼しさもありとても気持ちよかったです。綺麗な写真も撮っていただき、いい夏の思い出になりました。

It was amazing.
Although the snorkeling time was short, the guide helped us and we were able to see everything slowly. It was a good decision to add the optional photo shoot. I felt that if I had asked, they would have taken photos in the style I liked, but there were also some short videos.

最高でした。
シュノーケル時間は少なかったけどガイドさんが引っ張ってくれゆっくり見れました。オプションの写真撮影をつけ正解。撮影は言えば好きな感じで撮ってくれそうなので、言えば良かったなぁっと感じたけど、短い動画もありましたよ。

We experienced sea kayaking and snorkeling as a family with a second grader, a fifth grader, and a high school sophomore. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, but we were grateful for the alternative plan. Thanks to our guide Yo-chan's kind and thorough explanations, the children felt safe and enjoyed sea kayaking and snorkeling. We appreciated the quizzes, stories about marine life, and how you accommodated the active children's requests. Thank you for taking so many photos! We also enjoyed the fascinating story about the square sea cucumber! We would love to go back for another experience!

小２、小5、高２のファミリーでシーカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験しました。残念ながら波が高くて、青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、代替案がありありがたかったです。ガイドのよーちゃんの優しく丁寧なレクチャーで子どもたちも安心してシーカヤックやシュノーケリングを楽しめました。クイズや海の生き物のお話し、活発な子どもたちのリクエストにも対応して頂き、写真も沢山ありがとうございました(^^)シカクナマコの不思議なお話もありがとうございました！また体験に行きたいと思いました！

I tried sea kayaking for the first time, and it was incredibly beautiful and so much fun! I'm definitely considering participating again next time!

初めてシーカヤックをやったけど。めちゃくちゃ綺麗でめちゃくちゃ楽しかったぞ〜。
これは次回も参加する可能性大！

We participated as two families. The instructor's talk was enjoyable, and the rain that had been falling until just before stopped, allowing us to see the sunset. It seems that this trip left the biggest impression on the children. Thank you very much! I would like to participate again if there is another opportunity.

2家族で参加しました。インストラクターさんの話も楽しく、寸前まで降っていた雨も止んで、サンセットも見ることが出来ました。子どもたちはこの旅行で１番思い出に残ったようです。ありがとうございました！また機会があれば参加したいです。

I received polite service and had a very enjoyable experience. It was great to see the mangroves and the creatures of Okinawa. Also, kayaking was a bit challenging because it requires good coordination between the front and back paddlers to move as intended, but I had fun.

丁寧に対応して頂き、とても楽しい経験が、出来ました。
マングローブや沖縄の生き物も見れたので良かったです。
またカヤックは前後の息が合っていないとなかなか思い通りに進まないので難しかったですか、楽しめました。

I had a great trip, taking lots of photos and getting recommendations for delicious places to eat. The sunset was beautiful too.

たくさん写真を撮ってもらったり、美味しいお店など教えていただき楽しい旅行になりました。夕日も綺麗に見れてとてもよかった。

I was looking for sea kayaking and added snorkeling just before making the reservation, and that snorkeling experience was incredibly satisfying! The fish came so close it was unbelievable, and the blue cave was very mystical! During snorkeling, the guide was with us the whole time, always keeping the atmosphere lively and teaching us various things about the cave and the fish! The sea kayaking was in a beautiful ocean with hardly any waves, and it was so much fun! I requested drone photography, and that was also amazing! It was great that they took photos during both snorkeling and kayaking, allowing us to capture wonderful memories!

シーカヤックを探していて、予約直前にシュノーケリングを追加したのですがそのシュノーケリングがとても満足度高かったです！
魚たちはあり得ないほど近くまで寄ってきてくれますし、青の洞窟もとても神秘的でした！
シュノーケリング中はずっとガイドの方がついてくれていたのですが、常に場を盛り上げてくれたし洞窟や魚についていろいろ教えてくれました！
シーカヤックは綺麗な海で全くといっていいほど波もなく、とても楽しかったです！
ドローン撮影をお願いしたのですがこれがまた最高でした！
シュノーケリングもカヤックも写真撮影までしてくれたので、思い出に残せたのもよかったです！

I made a reservation for kayaking for three people. I thought it would be one kayak for one person and another for two plus a guide, but it turned out that we would be going with the guide in two separate kayaks.

Normally, this would be fine, but after paying for the photo option (2,500 yen), I only had a photo of the back of my head while kayaking since I was with the guide.

I was told to leave my phone behind, but since it was just kayaking and I had it in a marine case, I took the responsibility to bring my phone. I was able to get a photo of myself kayaking from another kayak, but it was really disappointing to have paid for the service and not get the expected photos.

I would appreciate it if there could be an explanation for those who opt for the photo service, or at least consideration for equal photo opportunities for one person plus two people and the guide.

The experience was very enjoyable, and the guide was kind and excellent. I hope no one else has the same disappointment with photos in the future.

3名でカヤックの予約をしました。
カヤックは1名と2名＋ガイドの方かと思いきや、ガイドの方と同乗で二隻で行くようでした。

通常でしたらこれでも良いのですが、写真撮影のオプション（2500円）を支払い、ガイドと同乗した自分はカヤックでの写真は後頭部の写真しかありませんでした。

携帯は置いておくようにとのことでしたが、カヤックのみでしたし、マリン用のケースに入れていたので自己責任で携帯を持って行ったので自分がカヤックに乗ってる写真は別のカヤックから撮ってもらえましたが、せっかく料金を支払っているのに、本当にショックでした。

写真オプションされた方には最初に説明か、1名＋2名＋ガイド等、平等に撮影していだける配慮がほしいです。

体験はとても楽しくガイドの方も優しくてとても良かったです。
今後写真で同じ思いをする方がいませんように。

The children had a great time! It's a shame we couldn't see the Blue Cave due to the typhoon, but we had an even more enjoyable experience. The guide was very experienced with handling children and was very polite and kind!

子どもがすごく楽しんでました!
台風の影響で青の洞窟が見れなかったことは残念ですが、それ以上に楽しい経験ができました。
ガイドさんも子どもの扱いに慣れていて、とても丁寧で親切でした!

It was my first activity in a while, but for my wife and child, it was their first experience with sea kayaking and snorkeling, which made them quite nervous during the preparation stage. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with great weather and a wonderful guide, making it an absolutely amazing day. The waters of Okinawa are beautiful, and the temperature is more comfortable than in Kansai, making us not want to leave. Time flew by so quickly. During the sea kayaking, we even had drone footage taken, and the wide-angle shots were incredibly satisfying. This is definitely a point I want to recommend to everyone. If you don’t capture it, you might regret it. You can get footage of yourself enjoying the sea all to yourself. In snorkeling, my daughter, who could finally put her face in the water, was able to enjoy it with a mask on. Thanks to the guide's coaching and the buoyancy of the wetsuit, she had an absolute blast. She was searching for fish and even feeding them, and she said she wanted to do it again tomorrow because it was so much fun. As someone who has always loved activities, it was a wonderful memory for the whole family to enjoy together.

私自身は久々のアクティビティでしたが、妻と子供はシーカヤックもシュノーケリングも初めての体験で準備段階からハラハラドキドキ。当日は天気にもガイドさんにも恵まれてめちゃくちゃ最高な1日に。沖縄の海はきれいだし、関西よりも気温が過ごしやすいしで、帰りたくなくなります。あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。シーカヤックではドローン撮影もして頂き、大空間の映像も大満足。これは皆さんに是非すすめたいポイントです。撮らないと多分後悔しちゃうと思いますよ。海を独り占めしている映像を撮影してもらえます。シュノーケリングでは顔がやっと水につけれる様になった娘が、なんとマスクをして水面に顔を付けて楽しめるまでに。ガイドさんのコーチングとウェットスーツの浮力も相まって、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。泳いでいる魚を探したり、エサやりもできたりで、面白かったのか明日もやりたいと言う状態に。アクティビティが昔から大好きな私は、家族全員が楽しく過ごせて、大変良い思い出となりました。

We participated as a family. It was our first time kayaking, but they taught us how to operate it carefully, and even our elementary school child could ride easily. We saw crabs, gobies, and flying foxes, and learned about mangroves and banyan trees, which was very educational. I’m thinking of using this for my summer vacation research project. Kayaking in the dark as the sun set was cool and felt great. I also enjoyed talking with the instructor about Okinawan food. Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。
初めてのカヤックでしたが、操作の仕方を丁寧に教えてもらい小学生の子供でも簡単に乗れました。
蟹やハゼやオリイオオコウモリを見たり、マングローブやガジュマルの話も聞けて色々勉強になりました。夏休みの自由研究にしようと思ってます。
日が暮れて暗い中でのカヤックは涼しくて気持ち良かったです。
インストラクターさんと沖縄飯の話もして楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

A typhoon was approaching near Okinawa, and there were concerns about strong winds, but we were able to go kayaking as the winds calmed down.

Although there were many clouds and we couldn't expect a sunset, we had a private tour for our family of four, and we were well taken care of by our guide.

沖縄付近に台風が近づいていて、強風が心配される中でのカヤックでしたが、風がおさまっていたので決行できました。

雲が多く、サンセットは望めませんでしたが、私たち家族4人の貸し切りツアーで、ガイドさんにはお世話になりました。

The time spent on canoeing and the explanations and observations related to the mangroves felt incomplete and left me wanting more. However, experiencing a little kayaking on the last day might be nice?!

カヌーの時間やマングローブ関連の説明や観察全てに中途半端な感じで不完全燃焼。
ただ最終日の帰り際にちょこっとカヤックを体験するって事ならいいのかも？！

We participated as a family of five with our three children. Since our youngest was one and a half years old, we looked for a tour that was suitable for one-year-olds and decided on this one. The kids were thrilled just paddling the kayak and moving through the sea, and we could see beautiful fish from the surface of the water, which was wonderful. Our youngest also quietly watched the sea with a look of wonder. Although it was unfortunately cloudy, considering we were on the water the whole time, it was just right.

子ども3人を連れて家族5人で参加しました。1番下が1歳半だったので、1歳でもOKなツアーを探してこちらに決めました。カヤックを漕いで海を進んで行くだけでも子どもたちは大喜びでしたし、海面からもきれいな魚がみえてとてもよかったです。末っ子も不思議そうにおとなしく海を見ていました。あいにくの曇りでしたが、ずっと海上にいることを考えると、ちょうどよかったです。

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。

I planned a trip to Okinawa because I wanted my grandchild to experience snorkeling. One thing I absolutely wanted to include in this schedule was the Blue Cave. However, I was confused by the various pickup methods, as many shops offer tours by boat or stairs.

Among them, I was attracted to the plan that goes to the Blue Cave by kayak, but the next challenge was that many tours had restrictions such as no participants over 60 or required medical certificates. Fortunately, the guide was accommodating, so I decided to go for it with enthusiasm!

Staff member "Macchan" was very professional, even though we had a scared 7-year-old and a clumsy 60-year-old in our group. They made sure everyone could enjoy the experience, allowing us to participate with peace of mind.

At first, my daughter and her husband thought it was just "okay," but after actually participating, they were excited, saying, "It was amazing!" and "We had so much fun!" My grandchild even said the next day, "I want to see Macchan again!" and has become a big fan, still mentioning "Macchan" now that we're back in Osaka.

With all the photos taken, we created wonderful memories during our three-generation trip. Thank you so much for everything!

孫にシュノーケルを体験させたいと思い沖縄旅行を計画。
今回のスケジュールでどうしても入れたかったのが青の洞窟です。
ただ、ピックアップの方法が、ボートや階段など
たくさんのショップさんがツアーを開催されていて迷いました。

そんな中、カヤックで青の洞窟に行くというこちらのプランに
魅かれたものの・・・
次の難関が、60歳以上不可や診断書を求められるツアーが多いこと。
嬉しいことにアルガイドさんは、こちらもクリア♪
もう、ここしかない！という勢いで申し込みをしました。

スタッフの「まっちゃん」さんには、怖がりの7歳＆どんくさい60歳が
ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、そこはやはりプロ！
皆が楽しめるように、いろいろと気を配っていただき
安心して参加することができました。

最初は、「へ～、いいやん」程度だった娘夫婦も
実際に参加した後は
「最高に良かった！」「すっごく楽しかった！」と興奮状態。
孫は、次の日も「まっちゃんに会いたい♪」と
すっかりファンになっていて、大阪に戻った今も
「まっちゃん」のお名前が・・・。

たくさん撮っていただいた写真とともに
3世代の旅行で素敵な思い出ができました。
本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

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

Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather, but we were able to explore the surrounding sea thoroughly. We experienced the thrill and excitement of sea kayaking while ensuring safety, navigating through the waves. We also took a lot of photos, which became the best memories of this trip. I would love to do this again!

あいにくのお天気で青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、
周辺の海の中を存分に探索できました。
シーカヤックも安全を保ちながらも、波の合間をぬって
ドキドキわくわくを体験させていただけました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、この旅で一番の思い出になりました。
またお世話になりたいです！

The sea is beautiful, and there were more fish than I expected, which was amazing! ✨
And above all, the guide was very kind and taught my beginner sister patiently, making it a fun experience!
Thanks to them, it became a wonderful memory! Thank you!
I want to go again soon! I hope to see you then!

海が綺麗はことは言うまでもなく、期待以上にお魚がたくさん居て感激✨
そしてなにより初心者のお姉様相手に丁寧に指導して楽しませてくれたガイドさん！
おかげでとてもいい思い出になりました！ありがとう
また近いうちに行きたい！その時はまたよろしくお願いします

Five women around the age of 60 participated. There were some who were not good at swimming, but thanks to Ko-chan's meticulous care, we were able to enjoy snorkeling safely and securely. We saw a lot of fish as well. Personally, my first sea kayaking experience was physically tough. Sensing that, Ko-chan towed me back with her own kayak, which made it much easier. I have experienced snorkeling many times, including overseas, but the mystical beauty of the Blue Cave was exceptional. I want to go again.

還暦前後の女性5人で参加。泳ぎが苦手な人もいたけど、コーちゃんのきめ細かい配慮のおかげで、安心、安全にシュノーケルを楽しむことができました、
魚もたくさん見られました。
個人的に、初シーカヤックは体力的にきつかったです。
それを察知したコーちゃんが、帰りはご自分のカヤックに繋いで曳航してくれて、楽チンでした。
海外含め、シュノーケルは何回も経験がありますが、青の洞窟の神秘的な美しさは格別でした。また行きたいです。

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。
