All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

My first dining experience.
At first, I struggled to breathe, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.
I was also moved to see the sea turtles up close.

初めてのダイニング。
最初は呼吸に苦労しましたが直ぐ慣れて楽しめました。
ウミガメも間近で見れて感動です。

I had never been north of Nago in Okinawa Main Island, and since the tour included attractions I had wanted to visit, such as Cape Hedo and the Oishi Forest, I signed up for it. The lunch was also luxurious and very delicious. I was able to experience feeding Kuu-chan, the Okinawa rail, and the content of the tour exceeded my expectations. I even received four types of small gifts as a little present. The guide was kind, making it the best day ever. Plus, it was part of the Go To program, so it was very affordable.

沖縄本島は名護より北には行った事が無く以前から行きたかった辺戸岬や大石林山等々の観光が含まれていたのでツアーに申し込みました。
昼食も豪華でとっても美味しかった。
ヤンバルクイナのくーちゃんの餌やりタイムにも遭遇出来思った以上にツアーの内容が良く、ちょっぴりプレゼントとしても4種類も頂きました。ガイドさんも親切な人で最高の1日でした。そしてGo To対象だったので凄く割安でした。

This tour covers several places that are difficult to visit alone, with a reasonable amount of time spent at each location. The meals were quite delicious, making for a highly satisfying experience.

The stunning views at the Great Stone Forest (it might be tough for very small children as it can be a bit steep), and the mangroves that you can walk through are definitely worth it. You can generally see what you expect. If you're lucky, you might even spot some wildlife, though I found it a bit scary (laughs).

*Make sure to wear comfortable clothing for walking. While you won't be walking for long periods, there are some quite rugged areas.*

一人では行きにくい場所をいくつも網羅してくれているツアーで各ツアーでの滞在時間もほどよく、食事もかなり美味しく相当満足感の高いツアーでした。

かなり絶景の大石林山(ちょっと険しいので小さすぎる子供は大変かも？)、歩いて見ることが出来るマングローブ、そう言うニーズあるんじゃないでしょうか、概ね想像通りのものが見れますよー。
野生動物も運が良ければ善きに悪きに目撃できます、私は少し怖かったけど(笑)

※必ず歩きやすい格好で行きましょう。
　長時間は歩かないですが結構険しい場所もあります

I was asked about mangrove issues along the way, but it was so much fun that I completely forgot...
The service from Tenshin was very good.
Thank you!

途中でマングローブの問題を出されるが
楽しすぎて完璧に忘れてしまう。。。
天心さんの接客がとてもよかった
ありがとうございました！

Thank you for the very attentive guidance. I apologize for the inconvenience caused when my child fell asleep during the tour, but I appreciate your kind support.

とても丁寧なガイドありがとうございました。
途中で子どもが寝てしまいご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいましたが、優しくフォローして頂きました。

It was disappointing that the sky was cloudy and we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the fish. The guide was kind, and I was able to experience the tour while listening to stories about Okinawa.

The kayaking, in particular, was great as we went far out and it felt wonderful.

Also, the pork shabu-shabu restaurant you recommended at the end was delicious! Thank you very much!

Next time, I will try again on a sunny day! ☆

曇空だったことと、青の洞窟に行けなかったことは残念でしたが、綺麗な海とお魚さんを楽しむことができました。
ガイドさんは優しく、沖縄話をしながら体験できました。
特にカヤックは遠くまで行けて、すごく気持ちよかったです。

あと、最後に教えていただいた豚しゃぶのお店、美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！

今度は晴れた日にまたリベンジしまーす☆

Initially, we were scheduled to go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but we heard on the day of the event that we wouldn't be going in that direction due to the wind. I appreciated the suggestions for cancellations or rescheduling. Since our schedule was tight this time, we decided to go ahead as planned.

We enjoyed seeing the coral and fish. The life jackets and wetsuits were perfectly sized, so my wife, who isn't a strong swimmer, was able to enjoy herself without worry.

Afterward, there were showers available, which was great for warming up our chilled bodies.

We took a lot of photos, making it a tour that I can confidently say was enjoyable.

Our guide, Acchan, was cheerful and really great, which added to the experience.

当初の予定では、青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングでしたが、風の影響で洞窟方向へは行かないと当日現地で聞きました。
キャンセルや日程変更も提案していただきありがたかったです。
今回は予定が詰まっていた為、そのまま決行。
珊瑚や魚を、見て楽しみました。

ライフジャケット、ウェットスーツもバッチリサイズで、泳ぎが得意じゃない奥さんも、安心して楽しめました。

終了後は、シャワーもあるので、冷えた体には良かったです。

写真もたくさん撮っていただき、良かったと言えるツアーでした。

ガイドのあっちゃんも、明るくて良い子で本当に良かったです。

The explanations were also very thorough. Next time, I want to go to Sunset and I would like to participate in a different tour as well. I will come again.

説明も丁寧な感じでよかったです
今度はサンセットで行きたいです違うツアーでも参加したいと思います
また来ます

I had a morning reservation, but considering the weather and sea conditions, the instructor suggested a time change! On top of that, the early morning sea was still empty, and I was the first to enjoy the cave! The instructor also taught me carefully, so I was able to relax and have fun even though I can't swim! Thank you very much! I would like to do it again.

早朝予約していましたが、天気や海の状況を加味してくれましてインストラクターさんから時間変更提案してくれました！その上で早朝の海はまだ誰も入ってなく1番乗りで洞窟も楽しめました！あとインストラクターさんからも丁寧に教えてもらい、泳げなくても安心して楽しめました！ありがとうございました！また願いしたいです。

I apologize for the delay caused by my junior this morning. As a result, we departed 10 minutes late, but thank you for waiting.

Now, regarding the tour itself, it was great that we were able to visit various places, but the tour guide was a foreigner. While they could speak Japanese, it was very difficult to understand them. Towards the end, their voice became so quiet that I couldn't hear the explanations. When they said, "Please ask if you have any questions," it was hard to do so under those circumstances.

We started from in front of the prefectural office, but there were many buses lined up, making it hard to find the right one. Other tour guides were calling out loudly, while ours just stood outside holding a customer list. That made it really confusing. Since I’m not very experienced with tours and this was only my second time, I didn’t know what to do. This was evident as other customers, who were also there more than 10 minutes early, ended up arriving at the bus just in time and expressed their confusion.

Additionally, I went with my junior this time, and while I understand the need for social distancing due to COVID, everyone could have easily maintained distance by sitting by the windows. However, we were made to sit together as a couple, and when I asked if we could move to the window seats, I was told to wait. Ultimately, we were able to sit by the window only in the afternoon. If they were going to allow it, they could have done so in the morning as well. Moreover, there was someone sitting alone who wanted to see the scenery and preferred to sit by the window, which was prioritized instead. Doesn’t that seem strange?

Please ensure proper training for the tour guides. If it had been a Japanese guide, I think we could have enjoyed it a bit more.

朝イチ後輩が遅れてすみませんでした。それで10分出発が遅れたのですが待っていただきありがとうございました。
早速ツアー内容なんですが、内容的には色々なところをまわれたのはよかったのですが、添乗員が外人さんで、日本語も大丈夫なのですが、非常に聞き取り辛かったです。説明も、自身がないのか終わりの方は声が小さく聞こえなかったです。
分からないことが有れば聞いてくださいって、これでは聞けないですよ。
出発の場所は県庁前からだったのですが、何台も並んでいたのでわかりにくかったです。他のツアーの添乗員さんは大きな声で呼んでいるのに、今回の添乗員は外に出て、顧客リストを持っているだけ。これではわかりませんよね。旅行慣れしていなく今回が2回目だったので、わかりませんでした。それを物語るのが、他のお客さんも、10分以上前に県庁前にいたのにギリギリにバスに着いてわからなかったって言ってバスに乗ってました。
あと、今回後輩と乗ったのですが、コロナで席を空けてるのはわかるのですが、全員窓際に座っても十分距離は保てるのに、私たちとカップルだけ2人で座らされ、窓際に移っていいですか？って聞いたら待ってください。って言われて結局窓際に座れたのが昼過ぎ。結局オッケーするなら午前中でも、よかったのではないでしょうか？それも、1人で座ってる人が景色ぐ見たいから逆に座りたいって言って、そっちを優先。おかしくないでしょうか？
添乗員教育ちゃんとしてください。日本人の添乗員だったらもう少し楽しめたかな。

To get to the northern Yanbaru area, it's difficult without a rental car, so I signed up for the only bus tour that goes to Daishirinzan. The bus had proper infection control measures in place, including seat arrangements.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I was looking forward to the views from the observation decks at Cape Hedo and Daishirinzan, but sadly, I could barely see anything. The weather forecast predicted clear skies for the afternoon, so I wished we could have reversed the order of the tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium later. (Since it's a group tour, I understand that the schedule for each location is fixed and changes are probably not possible.)

We had 80 minutes at Daishirinzan. I wanted to see the "Observation Deck" and "Gajumaru," so I walked the shortcut course "Kigan & Churaumi" plus the "Yanbaru Forest Course." I just barely made it back in time within the 80 minutes. I wished I had a bit more time.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had 180 minutes. Perhaps because it was the second day of a three-day weekend in September when people started to move around (they were allowing entry with restrictions for infection control), there was a huge line, and it took 20 minutes to get in after we started waiting. The tour guide mentioned that it was the longest line they had ever seen. However, even with the 20-minute wait, we had plenty of time with the 180-minute stay. I skipped the really crowded tanks, looked at the beach and sea turtles, and then returned to the aquarium to explore.

It seems that the tour content has changed now. It looks like it offers a better experience to fully enjoy Yanbaru.

北部やんばるエリアに行くにはレンタカー以外では難しくて、この大石林山に行くことができる唯一のバスツアーに申し込みました。
バス内では席位置等感染対策がしっかりととられていました。
当日はあいにくの雨。「辺戸岬」と「大石林山」の展望台からの景色を楽しみにしていたのですが残念ながらほぼ何も見えませんでした。午後からの天気予報は晴れだったので午後からの「美ら海水族館」と回る順番を逆にすることができたら良かったのになあって思いました。（ツアー団体だから各場所に行く予定時間は決まっていて変更は無理なんだろうとは思います）
「大石林山」の滞在時間は80分。「展望台」と「ガジュマル」は見たかったので「奇岩・美ら海」のショートカットコース+「やんばる森林コース」を歩きました。なんとかギリギリ80分でもどれました。もう少し時間が欲しかった。
「美ら海水族館」は滞在180分。人が動き出した9月の3連休の二日目のためか（感染対策のために入場制限をしながら入場させていた）入場はすごい列ができていて、並んでから入るまで20分かかりました。添乗員さんはこんなに行列ができているのは初めてだと言われていました。ただ20分並んでも180分滞在時間があったので時間は十分でした。すごく混んでいる水槽は飛ばし、ビーチやウミガメを見てからまた水族館にもどり入って見ました。

今はツアー内容が変更になっているようですね。やんばるをより満喫できる内容のようなので良さそうですね。

On October 17th, I participated with my family of five. For the experience diving, only two people can be guided by one instructor, but we had three instructors guiding two, two, and one, respectively. They also took a family photo for us, which became a wonderful memory. The instructors were very kind, and despite our initial anxiety, all five of us enjoyed the diving. The waters around Kerama were very beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish than I had imagined and that we didn't encounter any sea turtles. After boarding, there was also an affordable parasailing option available, and unexpectedly, we were able to experience parasailing as well, making our day in Okinawa very meaningful.

10/17に家族5人で参加しました。体験ダイビングは1人のインストラクターに2名までしか引率できないのですが、3人のインストラクターで2名+2名+1名を引率してしただき、家族5人の集合写真を撮影していただき、とても良い思い出となりました。インストラクターの方はとても親切で、不安のあったダイビングも5人全員楽しめました。慶良間の海はとても綺麗でしたが、想像していたよりはお魚の数が少なかったこと、ウミガメには出会えなかったことが少し残念でした。乗船後に格安でのパラセーリングのオプションも用意されており、思いがけずのパラセーリング体験もでき、沖縄での1日をとても有意義に過ごすことができました。

In the mangrove forest, we had an explanation from the guide and were able to explore while looking for creatures like coconut crabs. For lunch, we had sashimi with three pieces of white fish fry, which was very filling and delicious. Cape Hedo had an impressive deep blue color; although the wind was strong, the view was wonderful. At Daishi Forest, I was able to walk more easily than I expected and fully enjoy nature. I also thought that infection control measures were well implemented, such as hand sanitizer when getting on and off the bus and seating arrangements that maintained social distance. I'm glad I went.

マングローブ林ではガイドさんの説明があり、ヤシガニ等生き物を探しならがら見学できました。ランチは刺身に白身フライが3枚もつきボリューム満点で美味しかったです。辺戸岬は濃いブルーが印象的、風は強かったけど素晴らしい景色でした。大石林山は思ったより楽に歩くことができ、自然を満喫できました。バス乗り降りの際は手指アルコール消毒、ソーシャルディスタンスを保った座席配置など感染症対策もしっかりされていたと思います。行って良かったです。

I explored the great nature of Yanbaru, going down waterfalls and climbing cliffs. It was challenging, but it was okay even if I wasn't confident in my physical strength. It was so much fun, and I want to participate again when I go to Okinawa!!

やんばるの大自然の中、滝をくだったり崖を登ったりしながら探検しました。ハードではありましたが、体力に自信がなくても大丈夫でした。とても楽しくて、また沖縄に行ったら参加したいです！！

There were more options on the menu than I initially thought, and there were plenty of opportunities to interact with multiple dolphins, so I enjoyed every moment!

最初に思ってたよりメニューの内容が複数あって複数のイルカと触れ合う機会が盛りだくさんあり時間いっぱいたのしめました！！

The sea was very beautiful! I enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. The beach staff told me where to find sea turtles, and I was able to see them too.

海がとてもキレイでした！カヤックやシュノーケリングして楽しみました。ビーチのスタッフにウミガメがいるところを教えてもらい、ウミガメも見ることができました。

It was rainy, but the underwater scenery was beautiful and I had a great time! The service was very polite, and I was satisfied because I even got to see a turtle!

雨だったけど、水中はきれいで、楽しかったです！
対応もすごく丁寧で、亀さんにも会えたので満足です！

I remembered the Mehiligigajumaru Akobijar River! The guide's response was good! It's a pity I couldn't see the sunset, but I would like to use this service again.

メヒルギガジュマルアコービジャ川を覚えました！
ガイドさんの対応が良かったです！
サンセットが見れなかったのはざんねんですが、また利用したいと思います。

It was out of season, and the temperature reached 30°C.
There were many sea turtles and fish.
There were few people on the beach, which was nice!
I hope many people can come next year.

季節外れで、気温30℃もあり
海ガメや魚も沢山いました。
ビーチに人も少なく良かった‼️
来年は、沢山の人が来れますように。

The guide shared fascinating stories about mangroves and many other plants and animals, which was very interesting and enjoyable. Mangroves are amazing trees! I want to cherish them! I definitely want to participate again when I visit Okinawa.

ガイドさんが、マングローブのことや、他にも沢山の動植物のお話をしてくださって、とても興味深く、楽しかったです。
マングローブってエライ木なんですね！大事にしたいです！
また沖縄に行った際は、ぜひ参加したいと思いました。

I participated with some anxiety, but the instant instructors and staff were very pleasant, which put me at ease. The sea was also very beautiful, and I was impressed. It was fun to experience parasailing at a low cost on the way back.

Since I am older, I thought it would be nice to have a few more images available for an additional fee.

If I have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to be taken care of by you. Thank you very much.

不安の中参加しましたが、インスタントラクターはじめスタッフの方々が感じが良く、安心しました。
海もとても綺麗で感動しました、戻り際にパラセーリングも格安で体験出来て楽しかったです。
私は高年齢なので、別途費用でも画像がもう少しあると良いなって思いました。

また行く機会があれば是非お世話になりたいです、よろしくお願いします、ありございました。

Unfortunately, the afternoon trip I participated in could not go to Chibishi due to the typhoon, so we went snorkeling at a spot called Sunabe in Chatan. Although it was a relatively small area for snorkeling, I had a great time seeing two types of clownfish, butterflyfish, and various tropical fish. I also enjoyed reliving my childhood by having fun on the slide and diving (it was scarier than I expected and full of thrills, haha).

The next day, I went on a full-day tour with the same Berry's tour company, which included snorkeling at three locations in the Kerama Islands. It was truly wonderful and deserves more than five stars. The staff's attentiveness was excellent both days, and the boat was large and clean, so I highly recommend it. A nice touch was that there were bath towels prepared after using the boat's shower, which was a big plus.

参加した午後便は、台風の影響で残念ながらチービシには行けず、北谷町にある砂辺と言うポイントでスノーケリングしました。
比較的狭いエリアでのスノーケリングとなりましたが、2種類のクマノミやツノダシ、イラブチャーをはじめとしたトロピカルな熱帯魚達に会えて楽しかったです。
また童心にかえってスライダーや飛込みも楽しめました（思ったより怖くてスリル満点でした・笑）

翌日同じベリーさんのツアーで行った１日ツアー（慶良間諸島三ヶ所でスノーケリング）が５つ星では足りないくらい本当に素晴らしかったのですが、２日共スタッフさんの気遣いもよく、船も大きくて綺麗で、お薦め出来ます。
何気に船のシャワー浴びた後にバスタオルが準備されているのもポイント高かったです。

It was a highly satisfying tour. I was amazed by the mysterious vitality of the mangroves, overwhelmed by the grandeur and power of the Okinawa's Great Stone Forest, and comforted by the cuteness of the Okinawa rail. I grew even fonder of Okinawa. The tour guide and local guides were friendly and very thorough in explaining the local circumstances, which was very educational. The local specialties I tasted here and there were truly delicious. This is a tour I especially recommend for those who feel they have already visited the major tourist spots in Okinawa.

非常に満足感の高いツアーでした。
マングローブの不思議な生命力に驚き、
大石林山の威容・迫力に圧倒され、
ヤンバルクイナの可愛らしさに癒され、
さらに沖縄が好きになりました。
添乗員さんや各地のガイドさんには、
フレンドリーかつ懇切丁寧に現地の事情を
説明していただき、とても勉強になりました。
各地でちょっとずつ食べた名産品も、
まことに美味でありました。
沖縄のメジャーな観光地は一通り行ったなあ、
という方に、特にお勧めしたいツアーです。

I learned that there are mangroves in Okinawa and wanted to participate, so I joined the tour. The weather on the day was great, with no wind, making the environment perfect. The tour guide was not only polite but also taught us a lot about the mangroves, the natural environment, and Okinawa. It was an educational mangrove kayaking tour. Thank you very much.

沖縄本当にもマングローブがあることをしって、ぜひ参加したいと思い参加しました。
当日は天候もよく、風邪もなく環境は最高でした。
ツアーガイドの方が丁寧だったことはもちろんですが、それだけでなく、
マングローブや自然環境のこと、沖縄についてなど教えてくれて色々と学びもあるマングローブカヤックツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

Due to the sudden typhoon, I was anxious about whether I could even go to Okinawa, and if I could, what the weather and waves would be like. Fortunately, the typhoon veered away, but there were still effects on the sea. The morning tour was canceled, and the afternoon tour was only confirmed at the last minute. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, but the water was murky and there weren't many fish, which was disappointing. If it was someone's first time going to Kerama, they might end up disliking it. I wish they had canceled the tour under these conditions. Also, since there was no slide, the tour title was misleading.

突然の台風発生で、沖縄自体に行けるのか、行けたとしてもお天気や波はどうなのか？という不安の中での来沖。台風はうまくそれたものの海への影響が泣。午前のツアーは中止、午後もぎりぎりで開催が決定。船は思ったほど揺れなかったけど、海の中はにごにごで魚影も薄く、うーん。初めて慶良間に行く人だったら慶良間が嫌いになっちゃいそう。この状態ならツアーを中止にしてほしかったなと思いました。滑り台なかったので、ツアータイトルに偽りありです。

My first diving experience over the age of 50 was incredibly fun. I had some anxiety, but the staff provided precise support, allowing me to enjoy a world I had never seen before. I want to do it again. Thank you!

50歳超えでの初ダイビング、すごい楽しかった。
不安もありましたがスタッフの皆さんが的確にサポートしてくれたので見たことない世界を堪能できました。またやりたい。
ありがとうございました！

I experienced the great outdoors firsthand, not only with the mangroves but also with crabs walking on the trees, schools of carp jumping on the water's surface, and large birds flying by.

マングローブだけでなく木々の上を歩くカニや水面を飛び跳ねるフナの群れや大きな鳥が飛んできたりと大自然を直に感じました。

It's a place I wouldn't think of going just to drive there alone, but I participated in my first bus tour and went there. I climbed the mountain while listening to the guide talk about Daishi Forest Mountain, and the Shikuwasa juice after exercising was the best! After that, at the Churaumi Aquarium, there weren't many people, but the dolphin show I saw for the first time was so cute. What impressed me the most was that we arrived at the Kencho Square exactly at 8 o'clock. It was right on schedule. I thought it was normal for a bus to be late, but everything went according to plan, and I was moved by it all. I'm glad I went.

ひとりで車運転してまで絶対行こうと思わない場所ですが、人生初のバスツアーに参加し行ってきました。添乗員さんから大石林山の話を聞きながら山登りし、運動した後のシークワサージュース最っ高でした。その後の美ら海水族館、人はまばらだったけど、初めて見たイルカショーとってもかわいかったです。最後にすごいと思ったのが、最終の県庁広場に8時ちょうどに着いたことです。予定時刻と全く一緒でした。バスだから予定時刻過ぎるのが普通かと思っていたのが予定通りだったから、全てに感動しました。
行ってよかったです。

It was a satisfying tour!
First, we changed into wetsuits and received an explanation on how to use the snorkels.
The guide explained everything in simple terms that even my 7-year-old daughter could understand.
On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and the boat rocked quite a bit, but we had been advised to take motion sickness medication the day before, so we were able to enjoy the tour without feeling sick.
Once we entered the water, the guide swam with a large boogie board that had plenty of grips, allowing even those who were anxious about swimming to hold on and reach the Blue Cave.
Although the surface of the sea was rough, the underwater world was calm and very beautiful, with many fish coming close enough to touch.
My daughter was thrilled and kept saying it was her first time experiencing something like this!
Inside the Blue Cave, the waves were gentle, and the light made the blue of the sea stand out, creating a very magical atmosphere.
Our guide, Kazuya, dove deep into the sea to take photos from below, creating wonderful memories for us.

満足できたツアーでした！
最初にウェットスーツに着替え、シュノーケルの使い方の説明を受けます。
7歳の娘も分かるように簡単な言葉で説明頂けました。
当日は海が荒れていて、船がかなり揺れましたが、前日に酔い止めを服用した方がいいというアドバイスを頂いており、酔うことなくツアーを楽しむことができました。
海に入ると、ガイドさんが掴むところがたくさんついた大きなビート板を持って泳いでくれるので、泳ぎに不安がある人でも捕まっているだけで青の洞窟まで行くことができます。
海面は荒れているのに、海の中はゆったりとしえいてとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん寄ってきて手で何匹も触ることができました。
娘は大興奮で、こんなの初めて！と何回も言って感動していました。
青の洞窟内は、波もなく穏やかで、光の加減で海の青さが際立ち、とても幻想的な雰囲気でした。
ガイドのカズヤさんが、海の深いところまで潜って下から撮影して頂いたり、とても素敵な思い出が出来ました。

Exploring the ocean in a skeleton is a great activity. You should definitely try it at least once.

スケルトンで海の中を探索は、とても良いアクティビティーだと思います。一度は、やってみた方がいいです。
