All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I happened to book the 3:00 PM slot when the tide was low. I could see the mangrove roots clearly, and the guide, Mr. Kinoshita, provided enjoyable explanations! I definitely plan to recommend this to my friends! Thank you!

偶然、潮が引いていた15:00を予約しました。マングローブの根っこもしっかり見えて、ガイドの木下さんの説明もたのしい！ぜひお友達にも紹介しようと思います！ありがとうございました！

It was a meaningful day, guided by a kind driver and a reliable guide to places that are very difficult to reach on a solo trip, from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I was happy to meet Kuuta-kun, the Okinawa rail.

朝7:30から18:30まで、一人旅ではとても行けない場所を優しい運転手さんとしっかり者のガイドさんに案内して頂き、有意義な一日でした。
ヤンバルクイナのクー太くんに会えて嬉しかった。

The staff at the reception and on-site were very friendly, and I had a great time. They shared a lot of stories, from explanations about mangroves and banyan trees to discussions about various creatures, which was very enjoyable! I appreciated that they took into account the approaching time of my return flight, which was very helpful. I highly recommend it!

受付から現地でのスタッフみなさんがとてもフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。
マングローブやガジュマルの木の説明から生き物のお話しまで、たくさんの話しを聞かせてくれてとても楽しかったです！
帰りの飛行機の時間が迫ってたので、それも考慮していただきとても助かりました。
おすすめです！！

They seemed happy to give instructions to the dolphins. Although the time spent swimming together was short, they were very satisfied. It was also nice that they offered free towel rentals and that we could shower and return home clean.

イルカに指示を出したりでき嬉しそうでした
一緒に泳げる時間は少しですが、充分満足していました。無料でタオル貸し出しがあったり、シャワーして綺麗な身体で帰れるのも良かったです。

The captain and all the staff were really kind. We saw cute and beautiful fish and jellyfish in the sea. During snorkeling, they took us to a cave-like area, and it was a lot of fun. My middle school son got seasick, but we were able to dive, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

船長、スタッフ皆さん本当に優しい。
海では可愛くて綺麗な魚やクラゲが見られました。シュノーケリングでは、洞窟のようなところにも連れて行ってくれて、とても楽しかったです。中学生の息子が船酔いしてしまったけれど、ダイビングも出来て素晴らしい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I communicated that I was not good at swimming when making the reservation, and the day before, the activity was canceled due to high waves. On the day itself, while it was possible to go in, there were still waves, so when they picked us up, they also suggested other locations and let us choose where to go before departure.

We chose the Blue Cave as planned. It was my first time snorkeling, and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but they taught us patiently. Our session started at 11 AM, but there were a lot of people inside the cave. It seems that everyone takes their time having breakfast before departing, which makes it a busy time. They actually recommend an earlier time.

After receiving a lecture, we were pulled to the cave while holding onto a float, and before we knew it, we arrived at the cave while enjoying the underwater view. After taking many pictures inside the cave, we returned on our own without using the float, and it felt like it was over in an instant.

We were able to feed the fish, but it seems that it might be banned soon from the perspective of SDGs... what a shame. If you're considering participating, it's better to go early before it gets banned.

I was worried after reading other reviews about changing in the parking lot and the lack of showers, but there were changing rooms, coin lockers, and showers (200 yen for 140 seconds or 1 minute and 40 seconds, depending on the location). I wore my swimsuit under my clothes on the way there and changed into a wetsuit in the parking lot, but on the way back, I took a shower and changed in the changing room.

I requested a pickup, and the driver was friendly, sharing enjoyable stories along the way. On the way back, they mentioned that we could be dropped off at a place we wanted to go instead of just the hotel, so I communicated that I didn’t have a specific destination but wanted to go somewhere accessible by bus, and they recommended a shop where we were dropped off in Chatan.

According to the schedule, we were supposed to arrive at the hotel by 2 PM, so I was worried about getting hungry, but I was relieved to eat earlier.

予約時に泳ぎが苦手なのを伝えており、前日は波が高くて中止になっており当日も入れなくはないけど波があるということで迎えに来ていただいた時点で他の場所の提案もしてくださり出発前にどちらに行くか選ばせていただけました
予定通り青の洞窟を選びシュノーケリングは初めてで泳ぎも自信がなかったのですが丁寧に教えてくださいました
参加は11時からの回でしたが洞窟内は人がたくさんいました
皆さんゆっくり朝食を食べて出発するので混雑する時間帯なんだそうです
本当はもっと早い時間がおすすめだそうです
レクチャーを受けてから洞窟までは浮き輪につかまって引っ張っていただいたので水中を眺めているうちに洞窟に着きました
洞窟内でたくさん写真を撮っていただいた後は浮き輪を使わずに自分たちで戻りましたがあっと言う間でした
お魚のエサやりをさせていただきましたがSDGsの観点から近々禁止になるかもしれないそうです…残念
参加迷っているなら禁止になる前に早いうちがいいです
他の方のレビューで駐車場で着替えた、シャワーなし等見ていたので心配していましたが更衣室、コインロッカー、シャワー（200円で140秒？か1分40秒？でした）がありました（場所によるのかもしれませんが）
行きは服の下に水着を着ていき駐車場でウェットスーツに着替えましたが帰りはシャワーを浴びて更衣室で着替えました
送迎をお願いしてホテルまで来ていただきましたが気さくな方で道中ずっと楽しいお話が聞けました
帰りはホテルまででなくても寄りたいところで降ろしてもらえるとのことで行きたいところは決まってないけどバスで帰れるところ等条件を伝えておすすめのお店を教えてもらい北谷で降ろしていただきました
予定通りだとホテル到着が14時だったのでお腹が空く心配をしていましたが早めに食べられて助かりました

It was really great. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and it rained while we were moving, but it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. I wanted to see the scenery in the sunshine. I wished I had one more hour at Daishi Forest Mountain. The tour was the most healing experience. I'm glad I went.

すごく良かったです。
あいにく曇りで移動中に雨が降ったりしましたが、これでお天気が良ければ最高に良かった。晴れてる景色が見たかった〜
大石林山は後1時間多く時間が欲しかった〜
ツアーで1番癒されたました。
行って良かったです。

I enjoyed kayaking while watching the mangroves. Since you will definitely get wet, please wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

マングローブを見ながらカヤックを楽しみました。どうしても濡れるので濡れてもいい服装で楽しんで下さい。

I participated with my children to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. My 80-year-old mother was the most excited! Each parent-child pair had great chemistry and enjoyed themselves. The instructor, Mr. Tenshin, also shared interesting stories!

母の傘寿のお祝いで子どもたちと一緒に参加しました。80の母が一番おおはしゃぎ！それぞれの親子ペアも息ぴったりで楽しみました。インストラクターのてんしん先生のお話も面白かったです！

There was an explanation about equalization in the car, but I couldn't remember it right away and was practicing when the instructor accused me of not listening.
Even after getting into the water, there was insufficient support, and I felt scared.
I recommend using a different tour.

車中で耳抜きの説明がありましたが、すぐには覚えられず練習をしていたところ、「話を聞いていなかったのか」とインストラクターの方に責められました。
水中に出てからも満足なサポートがなく、怖い思いをしました。
別のツアーの利用をおすすめします。

My husband and I participated in a sunset kayak tour. The weather was great, with no clouds, and the view was stunning! It was our first time kayaking, but we received thorough instructions, and the explanations about the flora and fauna were fascinating. We had a wonderful time. Thank you! You will definitely get wet, so it's a good idea to bring a raincoat or rent one from the shop for peace of mind.

夫と2人でサンセットカヤックに参加しました
気候も良く、雲もなく最高の眺めでした！
2人ともカヤック初めてでしたが、丁寧にレクチャーいただき、動植物の説明も興味深く、大変楽しめました
ありがとうございました
お尻はしっかり濡れますが、カッパみたいなのを持参されるか、お店でかしていただく等されると安心です。

It was my first time canyoning, and although I was a bit anxious, it turned out to be a fun tour with other participants! At first, I was so focused on my footing that I didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery, but once I got used to it, the zip slide in nature was incredibly enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory of Okinawa. I was also happy that they sent us so many photos!

初めてのキャニオニングで、不安もありましたが、他の参加者さんともワイワイ、楽しいツアーでした♪
初めは足元に気を取られて景色を楽しむ余裕もあまりありませんでしたが、慣れてくれば自然の中でのジップスライドも楽しすぎました♪
素敵な沖縄の思い出になりました♡
たくさんお写真も送ってくださったのも嬉しかったです☆

I was able to see a sunset over the ocean that was more beautiful than I imagined. The guide shared a lot of interesting facts, making the kayaking tour always enjoyable. I was very satisfied with the many wonderful photos taken for free. I would love to participate again when I come back to Okinawa!

想像以上の綺麗なサンセットを海の上で見ることができました。
ガイドの方の豆知識がたくさんで常に楽しいカヤックツアーをすることができました。
無料で素敵な写真をたくさん撮っていただき大満足です。
また沖縄に来たら参加したいです！

I haven't swum since elementary school, but with a wetsuit and life jacket, it was actually difficult to sink! With the fins, I didn't have to kick my legs too much to swim, and the instructor had a float, so as long as I held onto the rope of that float, I was automatically taken to the Blue Cave! When feeding the fish, there were beautiful colorful fish among those that came close, and even a rockfish in the deeper areas! I was able to enjoy the entire experience from start to finish!

泳いだことなんて小学生のプール以来ないけれどもウェットスーツにライフジャケットなので逆に沈むのが難しいくらいでした笑笑フィンがあるので足をそんなにバタつかせなくても泳げるし、インストラクターの方が浮き輪を持っているのでその浮き輪のロープに捕まっていれば自動的に青の洞窟まで行けました！
お魚の餌やりも寄ってくる魚の中に綺麗な色の魚がいたり深いところですがカサゴがいました！
何から何まで最後まで楽しく体験することができました！

It was cloudy on the day, so I was able to change my reservation. Thanks to the change, I was able to see the sunset from the sea. It was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. The staff were friendly and provided attentive service, which made me feel good. Thank you very much.

当日曇ってたので、予約日の変更可能をしました。変更できたおかげで、海上から夕日を見ることができました。今まで見た夕日のなかで1番綺麗でした。スタッフの方も親しみやすく、丁寧な対応で気持ちよかったです。ありがとうございました。

I thought the instructors might have been worried about the two of us due to our age, but they provided careful guidance, and we were able to enjoy ourselves more than we expected. We also got to see flowers, aquatic life, and wild birds. I believe it's an activity that can be enjoyed regardless of age and doesn't require much physical strength. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises! Thank you very much.

インストラクターの方には、年齢的に見るからに心配な2人組だったかと思いますが、丁寧にご指導頂き思っていた以上に楽しむ事ができました。
花、水辺の生物、野鳥なども見る事ができました。
体力も必要なく年齢に関係なく楽しめると思います。
また機会があれば参加したいです！
ありがとうございました。

The Blue Cave was amazing. The guide, Koji, was a kind and nice guy! It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Okinawa. Also, all the staff were kind and friendly, and I had a great time from the moment I arrived until the end of the experience.

青の洞窟最高でした。
ガイドしていただいたコウジさんは、親切で優しいナイスガイ‼️沖縄旅行最高な思い出になりました。
また、全てのスタッフさんは親切かつフレンドリーで訪問から体験終了まで気持ちのいい時間を過ごさせてもらえました。

I was really looking forward to exploring Yanbaru, which can be a bit difficult to navigate casually. I was also a bit anxious about traveling alone, wondering if I would feel out of place or if I would enjoy it. However, once the tour started, I was relieved to see other solo travelers, as well as groups and international participants! During the tour, we encouraged each other to take photos at various stops while listening to the guide's stories. It was a fun style where everyone could enjoy at their own pace.

The itinerary was perfectly balanced, addressing the concerns I had about managing time and the hassle of driving or transferring on my own. The staff accompanying us were very efficient, making the typically sluggish bus tour run smoothly. One thing to keep in mind is to avoid scheduling anything time-sensitive after the tour, as the evening traffic in Okinawa can be quite intense, and accidents happen frequently.

So for those considering solo travel, I highly recommend this tour!

『なかなか気軽に周れないやんばる、どんなところか楽しみ！』『でも1人で浮かないかな...楽しめるかな...』とツアーが始まるまで期待と変な不安もありましたが、あけてみれば一人旅の方も居る！もちろんグループや海外の方も！と一安心。途中ガイドさんの話を聞くとき、立ち寄る場所での写真撮影などお互いに声かけ合ったり。もちろん自分のペースで見て回ったりもできる感じで各々が楽しむスタイルでした。
行程は『多分1人で周ると時間配分わからなくてミスる、そして運転/乗り継ぎがしち面倒』という部分を解消してくれる丁度いい塩梅でした。同行するスタッフさんの手際もよく、ダラダラしがちなバスツアーの進行がとてもスムーズでした。注意点としてはやはりツアーの後に時間縛りのある予定を入れないことですね、夕方の沖縄渋滞エグいですし普通に事故ってる...
ということで一人旅で検討している皆様、とてもおすすめでございます！

We were finally able to participate in a mangrove canoe tour as a couple! Not only did we enjoy nature, but we also learned from our guide about the wildlife and Okinawa, which made it both educational and fun! Next time we come, we want to join the sunset tour as well! Thank you so much! ✨

夫婦で念願のマングローブでのカヌーツアーに参加することができました！
ただ自然を楽しむだけでなく、ガイドの方の生物や沖縄の説明などを聞くことができて、勉強にもなり楽しむことができました！
次に来る時はサンセットツアーにも参加したいと思います！
本当にありがとうございました✨

I originally planned to go fishing, but due to the weather, I couldn't. Instead, I was given the suggestion to try stand-up paddleboarding, and I had a great time! If there's another opportunity, I would love to do it again!

本当は釣りをする予定でしたが、天候によってできず、代わりの提案をいただきサップをやらせてもらいました！
楽しかったです。
また機会がありましたらよろしくお願いします！

The earphone guide supports six languages. You can study and review in the vehicle beforehand. The lunch at the cozy cafeteria was delicious, especially the sashimi set meal. We arrived at the cafeteria at 11:05, and it seemed to open at 11:00, as there were general customers waiting in line. By before noon, it was almost full. We had plenty of time for lunch, allowing us to relax in a hammock and go down to the beach to enjoy the blue sea.

At Daichi Forest Park, it was great that we could choose our own walking course since it was a free exploration. Sixty minutes wasn't enough for a leisurely stroll, so I would have preferred 90 minutes. The service of the shikuwasa juice after the walk was delicious. We also learned about the ecology of the Okinawa rail (we had one in captivity, and although it was at the back, I was able to observe a real one for the first time). On the way back, there was traffic congestion due to an accident on the highway and in Naha city (let's avoid flying on the day of the tour). It was a fulfilling tour with plenty of activities. There were eight participants, and we rented a large bus, with six of them being solo travelers.

イヤホンガイドが6か国語対応。車内で事前学習と復習ができる。昼食もこじんまりとした食堂でお刺身定食が美味しかった。食堂には11:05に到着。11時オープンのようで一般のお客さんは並んでいた。12時前にはほぼ満車。昼食時間は充分に取って頂きハンモックしたり海岸へ降りて青い海を眺めたりできた。
大石林山は自由散策の為、散策コースは各自で決められたのがよかった。60分ではゆっくり散策は出来なかったので90分は欲しかった。散策後のシークァーサージュースのサービスは美味しく頂いた。やんばるくいなの生態についても学習できた。（やんばるくいなは１匹飼育。奥の方にいたが初めて本物を観察できた）帰りは高速の事故渋滞や那覇市内の混雑もあったが（ツアーに参加した日の飛行機とうじょうはやめましょう）盛り沢山の満足なツアーだった。8名参加で大型バス貸し借り。内6名がお一人様人参加だった。

I had a great time!! The instructor was a wonderful guide, and I really enjoyed it!! I would like to use this service again next time!

とても楽しかったです!!
インストラクターの方がとてもいいガイドをしてくれてとても楽しかったです!!
次回も利用したいです!

The best part was seeing the coastline stretching out to the horizon from the bus window. I was glad to have encountered such a beautiful sea and to have been able to take a stroll.

一番はバスの窓から水平線がずーっと見えた海岸線がとても良かったです。綺麗な海に会えたこと、散策出来たこと。

Although we were worried about the rain forecast, we were able to enjoy our first experience in Yanbaru with beautiful weather, as the sun peeked through the clouds during our visit to the seaside restaurant, Cape Hedo, and trekking at the Oishi Forest. The journey was comfortable in a large bus, and the earphone guide was helpful. The little gifts we received along the way made for a nice tea time, and the shikuwasa juice after trekking was delicious. I thought both the itinerary and the lunch were very good.

There were some minor troubles along the way, and we returned about an hour later than scheduled due to traffic. Some people left the group early because they were worried about missing their flights, but you never know what might happen on a long drive, and traffic jams in Naha are well-known, so delays are to be expected. To avoid any unpleasant experiences, especially on a full-day bus tour, I recommend not scheduling anything immediately after and booking your itinerary for the middle of your trip. That's what I do. I felt sorry for the tour guide, who was always polite and attentive.

雨予報のなか心配しながらの出発でしたが、海辺のレストラン、辺戸岬、大石林山のトレッキングと、雲間から日も指すようなお天気で、存分に初めてのやんばるを楽しめました♪︎大きなバスでゆったり、の道中。車中でのイヤホンガイドも役立ちましたし、あちこちでのプチギフトは、ティータイムのお供になり、トレッキングのあとのシークアーサージュースもとても美味しくいただきました。行程もランチの内容もとても良かったと思います。
途中ちょっとしたトラブル、そして渋滞もあり帰りは予定より一時間弱遅れての帰着となりました。フライトに遅れると言う理由で途中離団されたかたがいらっしゃいましたが、ロングドライブでは何が起きるかわかりませんし、那覇市内の交通渋滞は周知の事実で、遅延は想定内です。みんなが不愉快な思いをしないよう、終日バスツアーは特に、後ろに予定をいれず、旅程の中日に予約をとられることをおすすめします。私はそうしています。終始丁寧に対応されていた添乗員さんがお気の毒でした。

We participated as a family of three. The guide was kind and taught us in a detailed manner, allowing our elementary school daughter to enjoy herself with peace of mind. She said it became the best memory of this trip. Thank you, guide!

家族三人で参加しました。ガイドさんが親切、丁寧に教えてくれて、小学生の娘も安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。今回の旅行の1番の思い出になったとの事です。ガイドさんありがとうございました。

It was scheduled for 3 PM, but the flight was delayed, and I couldn't make it in time... However, they kindly changed it to 5 PM! All the staff were warm, and the instructor's talk was wonderful! Although it was cloudy and I couldn't see the sunset, I still enjoyed it 100% even with the clouds!

15時の予定でしたが飛行機が遅れ間に合わず…
ですが、17時のものに快く変更してくださいました！スタッフの方々皆暖かく、インストラクターさんのトークもすてき！
曇りでサンセットは見ることができなかったですが、曇りでもいい100%楽しめます！

Although it rained at the tourist site, the rain stopped at Daishi Forest Park, allowing us to enjoy our visit. After leaving Daishi Forest Park, it started to rain again, but since we were sightseeing indoors, it was a relief. I didn't pay much attention to the time, so I thought I could have taken it a bit slower. Next time, I would like to visit the courses I didn't go to. I would love to participate again. Since I don't have a driver's license, it was a very valuable experience.

観光地で雨に降られましたが、大石林山は、しっかり雨も上がり、観光できました
大石林山を後にすると、また、雨が降ってきましたが、建物の中での観光だったので助かりました、時間配分を気にしてなかったので、もう少しユックリ回れば良かったかなと思いました、次回は、行かなかったコースにも行きたいと思いました、また、参加したいです
運転免許を持ってないので、とても、貴重な体験ができました

Both the boat fishing and kayaking were my first experiences, but the instructor, Shun, provided clear and easy-to-understand explanations.

I want to come back again!! Thank you very much!!

船釣りもカヤックも初めてでしたが、インストラクターのしゅんさんの説明が丁寧で分かりやすかったです

また来たいと思います！！
ありがとうございました！！

Surrounded by mangroves, I was able to fully experience nature. The staff were very kind and friendly, which allowed me to enjoy myself to the fullest.

マングローブに囲まれて、自然を体全体で体感できました。スタッフの方もとても優しく、気さくな方なので、全力で楽しむことができました。

The wind was calm, and the instructor was fun and lively, which made it the best experience!

I definitely want to do it again when I come back!

風もしずかでインストラクターの方も楽しく盛り上げてくれて最高でした❗️


また来たら必ずやりたいですね！
