All Reviews for 皮艇（カヤック）

Before making the reservation, I called to ask for details, and they were very polite and kind, so I decided to book. However, on that day, there were quite a few clouds and not much sunshine... When I arrived at the location, I was a bit anxious, but there were participants from various countries, including Germany and China, which felt very international 😳. Still, the explanations were kind and thorough! When we finally started paddling, it was easier than I expected! It was fun! I was worried about getting seasick, but I was fine 😄. I even took photos with my phone and enjoyed the sunset as it came out from behind the clouds and sank down ✨. I think it was a fun tour thanks to our instructor, Mr. Kinoshita, who went around to each of the five kayaks, checking in with everyone. Thank you for your consideration for everyone and for keeping us safe! «٩(*´ ꒳ `*)۶»

予約前、電話で詳細をお聞きしたら、丁寧親切だったので、予約決めました。
が、その日、結構雲が多くあまり日が照っていない、、、。
不安ながらも現地入りすると、ドイツ人や中国人など参加者が国際的😳
それでも親切丁寧に説明！
いざ漕ぎだすと思ってたより簡単！楽しい！
船酔いするかと心配してましたが大丈夫😄
携帯で写真まで撮り、夕日が、雲から出てきて沈んで行くまで、じっくりあじわえました✨自然にありがとう。
ずっと5つのカヤックを順にまわり声かけしてたインストラクターの木下さんあっての楽しいツアーだったと思います。
皆への気配りと皆の安全を考えてくれて、ありがとうございました«٩(*´ ꒳ `*)۶»

The mangrove kayaking can be quite hot since there is basically no shade. It's necessary to take precautions. However, you can enjoy a relaxing time.

マングローブカヤックですが、基本日陰は無いのでかなり暑いです。
対策必要です。
ただ、ゆったりとした時間を過ごす事が出来ます。

I thoroughly enjoyed the sunset sinking on the horizon! It was more impressive than watching it from the beach, and it became a great memory. It was hot while the sun was out, but it became cool and comfortable as it set. You get quite wet when getting on and off the boat or when paddling, so I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Until now, I've enjoyed activities like snorkeling in Okinawa, but I highly recommend this as well!

水平線に沈む夕陽をしっかり楽しめました！
海岸で見たりするよりも迫力があり、良い思い出になりました。
陽が出ている時は暑いですが沈むと涼しく快適でした。ボートへの乗り降りや漕ぐ際の跳ね返りで結構濡れるので濡れても良い服装が良いと思います。これまで沖縄ではシュノーケル等海でのアクティビティを楽しんでましたが、こちらも強くおすすめします！

It was an experience that allowed me to fully appreciate the unique nature of Okinawa. As we moved across the calm water, we were able to touch nature and creatures that are usually hard to encounter. The guide carefully explained the animals and plants, making it not just about enjoying the scenery, but also learning about the natural processes behind it, which was a great attraction. The only sounds we heard during this peaceful time were the voices of birds and the sound of water. It was a wonderful escape from the everyday, and I had a very fulfilling time.

At one point, a mongoose popped out from a hole by the riverbank, which really got my excitement up! It's a shame I missed the chance to take a photo 🫤

I highly recommend this experience for creating memories of your trip to Okinawa!

沖縄ならではの自然を存分に感じられる体験でした。静かな水面を進むと、普段はなかなか触れられない自然、生き物に触れることができます。
ガイドの方が生き物や植物について丁寧に教えてくださるので、ただ景色を眺めるだけでなく、背景にある自然の営みを知れるのも魅力でした。穏やかな時間の中で耳に入るのは鳥の声や水の音だけ。心地よい非日常を味わうことができ、とても充実した時間になりました。

途中で河岸の穴からマングースが出てきてとてもテンションが上がりました！写真撮り損ねて残念です🫤

沖縄旅行の思い出づくりにおすすめしたい体験です！

We started with the Hija River exploration. The guide shared various stories, but the distance traveled was short, and to be honest, it felt more like kayak practice than an exploration, with the main event happening after we got out to sea. There were some waves and clouds, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset. The photos taken with the sunset in the background were taken by ourselves.

最初に比謝川探検からスタートします。ガイドさんはいろいろ話をしてくれましたが移動距離も短く、正直言って探検というよりカヤックの練習という感じで、メインは海に出てからでした。
少し波と雲が出ていましたが、綺麗な夕陽が見れました。夕陽をバックにした写真は、自分達で撮る感じです。

I had always wanted to visit Gajumaru, so I was really happy to finally go. The guide's stories were interesting, and I had a lot of fun! You definitely won't regret going! I want to visit again!

ガジュマルには一度行ってみたかったので行けたのがすごか嬉しかったのと
ガイドさんの話も面白くてとても楽しかったです！
行って損は絶対にありません！
また行きたいと思ってます！

We had a 5-year-old child with us, but since our guide Ko-chan was experienced in handling children, we could trust him completely. It was thoughtful to have a guide who is familiar with kids. Not only did we paddle the kayak, but we also made stops to observe the rocky areas and shallow waters, which provided a nice break. It was wonderful to see Ko-chan adjusting his paddling to match the child's movements, but it's a shame we couldn't capture that moment in a photo.

5歳の子も一緒でしたが、子供の扱いに慣れたこうちゃんがガイドでしたので、安心して任せることができました。子供に慣れているガイドを付けるという心遣いがいいですね。カヤックを漕ぐだけではなく、途中で上陸して岩場や浅瀬の観察も、ちょっとした休憩になってよかったです。子供が漕ぐのにこうちゃんが合わせてオールを動かしてくれる様子がとてもよかったのですが、写真に撮る事が出来なかったのが残念です。

In the early morning, during the time when the heat has yet to ease, I arrived at the location. I learned how to use the oars and initially thought, "I will paddle on my own without relying on my partner," and got into the kayak with determination. However, that enthusiasm turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

Just lightly dipping the oars into the water allowed the kayak to glide remarkably smoothly. When I stopped paddling, it felt as if time had stopped, and I could simply float on the river's surface. The instructor kindly taught us, saying, "The kingfisher is calling," and "The mangrove is a type of tree called 'Mehirugi'," paying attention to each participant, which made it easy to enjoy the experience.

The river's flow was so gentle that I hardly noticed it, and when I looked up, I saw the bright blue sky and pure white clouds typical of Okinawa. I heard that families participated, and even a 93-year-old had joined, making me feel that this tour was enjoyable even for someone in their 70s like me.

This tour created many memories. It was a wonderful experience that allowed me to rediscover the charm of Okinawa, and I now want to challenge myself to kayak on another river next time.

「早朝、まだ暑さが和らぐ時間帯に現地へ。オールを教わり、最初は『パートナーに頼らず、自分の力で漕ぎ切ろう』と気合を入れてカヤックに乗り込みました。しかし、その意気込みは嬉しい誤算でした。
オールを軽く水に入れるだけで、カヤックは驚くほど滑らかに進みます。漕ぐのをやめると、まるで時間が止まったかのように川面にただようことができました。インストラクターの方が『カワセミが鳴いています』『マングローブはメヒルギという木です』と丁寧に教えてくださり、参加者一人ひとりに気を配ってくれたので、安心して楽しめました。
川の流れは気づかないほど穏やかで、上を見上げると、沖縄らしい真っ青な空と真っ白な雲が広がっていました。ご家族連れはもちろん、最高齢93歳の方も参加されたことがあると聞き、70代の私でも心から楽しめるツアーだと感じました。
たくさんの思い出ができたこのツアー。沖縄の魅力を再発見し、今度は別の川でもカヤックに挑戦したいと思える素晴らしい体験でした。」

I was able to see views that I can't see in Tokyo, and luckily, we had a great catch while fishing, making it a very satisfying experience. My child is saying they want to go again, so I would like to take care of this again. Thank you very much.

東京では見ることが出来ない景色を見ることが出来て、運良く釣りでも豊漁で、大満足な体験でした。
また行きたいと子供が言ってますので、またお世話になりたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

It was an early morning tour, and we enjoyed paddling together as a parent and child. Since it was high tide and early in the morning, it wasn't too hot, and we had fun paddling. We only managed to catch a crab and a Pacific flying fish that were at the dock. I wonder if we could have seen more of the mangrove roots during low tide.

朝一のツアーでした、親子で力を合わせて漕ぐ楽しみがありました。
満潮時で、朝早かったのでそんなに暑くもなく楽しく漕げましたが、生き物は、カニとミナミトビハゼが船着場に居たので捕まえてみた位でした。
干潮時ならもっとマングローブの根元が見れたのかなぁと思います。

I was able to enjoy my time safely while operating the kayak myself. It’s completely fine for beginners, but experienced paddlers might find it a bit lacking.

カヤックを自分で操作しながら、安全に楽しく過ごせました。
初心者には全く問題なく、ただし経験者には物足りないかもです。

We participated as a three-generation family from a first grader to a 59-year-old. The instructor's explanations and stories were enjoyable, and the duration of the activity felt just right.

小1から59才の親子3世代で参加しました。インストラクターの説明や話も楽しく時間の長さもちょうどいい感じでした。

I had a kayaking experience on the Hija River, where I was able to fully enjoy the charm of nature. The instructor's explanations were very interesting, teaching us about the river and the surrounding nature and wildlife in an easy-to-understand manner, mixed with humor. Thanks to this, it became a learning experience rather than just a simple activity. Along the way, I was able to see magnificent mangrove forests, and I was moved by their unique shapes and ecology. As we leisurely paddled along the calm river, the sounds of birds and the wind provided a precious experience that made me forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This kayaking trip became a wonderful memory, allowing me to feel both the richness of Okinawa's nature and the warmth of its people.

比謝川でカヤック体験を行い、自然の魅力を存分に味わうことができました。インストラクターの方の説明がとても面白く、ユーモアを交えながらも分かりやすく川や周辺の自然、生き物について教えていただきました。おかげで単なるアクティビティとしてだけでなく、学びのある時間になりました。途中では立派なマングローブ林を見ることができ、その独特な形や生態に感動しました。静かな川面をゆったりと進みながら、鳥の鳴き声や風の音を感じる時間は、日常の喧騒を忘れさせてくれる貴重な体験でした。今回のカヤックは、沖縄の自然の豊かさと、人の温かさを同時に感じられる素晴らしい思い出となりました。

I made a reservation because I wanted to see the mangroves!

It was a fun tour for the two of us in one kayak! I highly recommend it to everyone!

マングローブをみたくて予約しました！

夫婦2人で一つのカヤックに乗り、楽しいツアーでした！
みなさんおすすめです！

I had the impression that the Blue Cave would be crowded, so I had been avoiding it until now, but I wanted my children to experience it, so I participated this time.

On the day of the tour, there were many tour companies, but it seemed relatively uncrowded, and we were able to get into the sea right away from Maeda Cape.

Our tour guide, Mr. Kaneshiro, was very thorough in his explanations, kept the conversation lively, and was a master at creating mysterious rings. He also took a lot of photos for us.

Additionally, the restaurants he recommended were both very delicious! The food at COBY was especially amazing!

I highly recommend this tour company.

青の洞窟は混んでいるイメージがあって今まで敬遠していたのですが、子供達にも体験して欲しくて今回参加しました。
当日はたくさんのツアー会社がいましたが、比較的空いていたようで、眞栄田岬からはすぐに海に入れました。

ツアーを担当してくださった金城さんは、説明がとても丁寧で、たくさん話を盛り上げてくれて、謎の輪っかを作る達人でした。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

また、お勧めしていただいた飲食店はどちらもとても美味しかったです！特にCOBY最高でした！

大変おすすめのツアー会社さんです。

The instructor guided us in a fun way. Just participating in the kayaking experience while listening to enjoyable stories was worth it, but being able to see the nature and creatures of Okinawa made it a priceless experience. My 5-year-old daughter missed her nap time and got a bit cranky, but the instructor handled it without showing any displeasure, which was a great help! Thank you very much.

インストラクターさんが楽しくガイドしてくれました。楽しいお話を聞きながらのカヤック体験だけでも参加する価値ありなのですが、沖縄の自然や生き物を見ることができてプライスレスの経験となりました。
5歳の娘はお昼寝のタイミングを逃してしまいぐずってしまいましたが、嫌な顔１つせずうまく応対してくださり、助かりました！ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 2-3 year old child. Since the adults who joined were all women, when we started, we struggled to move the kayak forward. In the end, the guide kindly tied our two kayaks together and pulled us along! (laughs) I'm really grateful for their efforts. The sunset was beautiful, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much! ♪

2,3歳の子連れで参加しました。参加した大人は女性だったので、いざ開始すると頑張ってもカヤックが進まず、最終的にはガイドさんが私たち2艘を紐で繋いで引っ張ってくださりました！(笑)
よく頑張ってくださって感謝です。夕日も美しくとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました♪

In the first half, we leisurely floated along the river. It was full of adventure as we passed under the mangroves and spotted crabs and bats. When we rode the gentle current out to the sea, the orange sun was beginning to set. After about 15 minutes swaying with the ocean waves, the orange color of the sky deepened as the sun sank below the horizon. The rich oxygen, vibrant colors, and the view of the horizon provided a detoxifying experience. The return trip was not as tough as I had anticipated, making for a pleasant workout. I would love to participate again.

前半は川の流れにのってのんびりと。マングローブの下をくぐったり、カニやコウモリを見つけたりして冒険気分満載でした。
ゆるやかな流れに乗り海へ出ると、オレンジ色の太陽が沈みかけてました。海の波に揺られる事15分位かな？空のオレンジ色が濃くなり水平線に太陽が潜っていきました。濃い酸素、鮮やかな色、水平線の景色、デトックスな時間でした。帰りも覚悟していた程はキツくなく、程よいエクササイズとなりました。
また参加したいです。

It was an extraordinary experience beyond my imagination, and it became a great summer vacation memory. I don't think you can have such an experience anywhere else but in Okinawa.

想像以上の非日常体験ができて、良い夏休みの思い出になりました。沖縄以外ではなかなか体験出来ないと思います。

The explanations were easy to understand and kind, and the store was clean, which was great! It was hot, so I got tired, but the staff helped me out by guiding me!

説明もわかりやすく親切で店内も綺麗でよかったです^_^暑かったので疲れてしまいましたが店員さんが引っ張ってくれたので助かりました！

I rode a kayak for about an hour up a river filled with the unique trees of Okinawa. Slowly navigating the murky Hija River was a truly valuable experience. Thank you!

カヤックに乗って1時間くらい沖縄特有の木々が生い茂る川をのぼりました。濁りのある比謝川をゆっくり進むのはとても貴重な体験でした。ありがとうございました！

Since it was the earliest time in the morning, there weren't many other customers or groups, allowing us to leisurely enjoy various aspects of nature. It was my first time kayaking, and I was a bit anxious at first, but they taught us carefully, making it a refreshing experience that I can't usually have in the city! I was also happy to receive various tips and recommendations for restaurants from the instructor! I would love to participate again!

朝一番早い時間だったので、他のお客さんや団体があまりおらず、ゆっくりいろんな自然を見れました。カヤックも初めてで最初不安もありましたが、丁寧に教えてくださり、普段都会では体験できないので新鮮でした！またインストラクターさんに色々な豆知識やおすすめのご飯屋さんまで教えていただき嬉しかったです！また参加したいと思います！

This was my first time participating in a mangrove kayaking tour. The instructor was kind and had a wonderful smile, making for a fun experience! While paddling the kayak, I was able to hear various stories and never felt bored. They also took photos for us and sent the photo data afterward.

今回初めてマングローブカヤックに参加しました。
担当のインストラクターさんは優しく笑顔がステキで、楽しい時間を過ごせました！
カヤックを漕ぎながら色々お話を聞けて退屈することもなく、お写真も撮っていただいて写真のデータも送っていただけました。

It was a sunny day, but I felt refreshed by the breeze blowing over the surface of the Hija River during this exhilarating tour. Before we started kayaking, we received instructions and training on how to operate the kayak on land, so I was a bit worried about whether I would be able to paddle well. However, once we actually began paddling, I found that even if I was a bit awkward at first, by the end of the two-hour tour, I felt like a kayaking master.

The allure of this tour wasn't just the mangroves and kayaking; thanks to our guide's explanations, we were able to experience the nature of the Hija River by spotting hibiscus flowers along the riverbank, gobies hopping around the tidal flats, and crabs scuttling about. Towards the end of the tour, we were introduced to a rock that had cannonballs still embedded in it, and we learned that the area around the Hija River was scorched during the war, with all the mangroves and trees we see today being less than 80 years old. This made it a tour that also conveyed the intensity of the Battle of Okinawa.

When I shared photos from this tour with our children's family, they expressed a strong desire to participate when they visit Okinawa. I highly recommend this tour!

日差しが強い日でしたが、比謝川の水面を吹く風にすがすがしさを感じる爽快なツアーでした。
カヤックを漕ぎ出す前に陸上でカヤックの操作の説明と訓練をするだけなので、うまく漕げるか漕ぎ出す前は心配でしたが、「習うより慣れろ」で実際に漕ぎ始めると、最初は少々ぎこちなくても2時間のツアーの終わりころにはカヤックマスターの気分で漕いでいました。
マングローブとカヤックだけがこのツアーの魅力ではなく、ガイドさんの説明で川辺のハイビスカスや干潟を跳ねるハゼ、そこを動き回るカニたちを見つけて比謝川の自然を感じることもできるツアーでした。
ツアーの終わり頃、水面に顔を出した岩に今も残る砲弾の紹介を受けたり、戦争の際に比謝川周辺は焼け野原になって今目にするマングローブや木々たちの樹齢はすべて８０年未満だとの説明を受けると、当時の沖縄戦の凄まじさを感じるツアーでもありました。
私たちの子供たちの家族に写真入りでこのツアーを紹介すると沖縄旅行の際にはぜひ参加したいと返事がありました。
このツアーはお勧めですよ。

I was able to see a very beautiful sunset. I also received a lot of photo data. It was a bit disappointing that some of the pictures had what looked like water droplets on them. I recommend the optional drone photography, as it captures the appearance of floating over the clear sea.

とても綺麗な夕日が見られました。写真のデータもたくさんもらえました。何枚か水滴？のようなものが付いていて、残念でしたが。オプションのドローン撮影は、透明な海に浮かぶ姿を撮ってもらえるので、オススメです

It was quite empty during the first group on a weekday morning. I was very satisfied with the tour guide who taught us very politely. Thank you very much!

平日の朝一の組で、割と空いていました。とても丁寧に教えてもらいながら、ツアーガイドしてもらえて、大満足でした、ありがとうございました

I made a reservation for the tour, thinking it might be during the rainy season. On the day of the tour, the weather was pleasantly sunny and quite hot, but I was very satisfied and had a great time!

The instructions on how to kayak were explained in a clear and thorough manner, allowing even beginners to start the tour with confidence. Although we couldn't see the roots of the mangroves due to high tide, our guide provided detailed explanations about various trees and flowers, making it enjoyable even for someone like me who isn't knowledgeable about plants.

Spending a relaxing time surrounded by nature along the gentle flow of the river was very pleasant, and it was a wonderful experience that allowed me to forget my daily routine and refresh myself. While kayaking, I saw mullet jumping and heard the sounds of birds and cicadas (a bit early for them, but still funny), creating many moments to connect with nature through my senses.

Thanks to our friendly and cheerful guide, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we were able to take many photos, which made for great memories of the trip. I believe this tour is highly recommended, as it wasn't too physically demanding and would be suitable for first-timers! If I have the time, I would love to enjoy different views by changing the tide times or seasons next time. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience!

梅雨の時期にあたるかと思いながらツアーを先に予約しました。当日は気持ちの良い晴天でかなり暑い中でしたが満足度が高く楽しかったです！
カヤックの乗り方についても丁寧にわかりやすく説明していただき、初心者でも安心してツアーがスタートできました。
今回は満潮だったのでマングローブの根元までは見られなかったものの、ガイドさんが様々な木や花について具体的に解説してくれて、植物に詳しくない私でも興味を持って楽しめました。
穏やかな川の流れの中で、自然に囲まれながらのんびりとした時間を過ごせたのがとても心地よく、日常を忘れてリフレッシュできる素敵な体験でした。
カヤックを漕いでいるとボラが跳ねたり、遠くで鳥やセミ(時期は早いですが笑)の鳴き声が聞こえたりと、五感で自然を感じられる瞬間がたくさんありました。
ガイドさんも気さくで明るい雰囲気のおかげで場も和み、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、旅の思い出として大満足です。
体力的にもそこまできつくなく、初めての方にもとてもおすすめできるツアーだと思います！
時間があれば、次回は干潮の時間帯や季節を変えて色々な景色を楽しんでみたいと思えるほど素敵でした！この度は本当にありがとうございました！

Kayaking in a river close to Chatan.
The guide was highly knowledgeable, and I learned a lot.
There may not be a forest, but I got to see a 100-year-old banyan tree.
The guide was great at taking photos!

It was a day with not very good weather, but the guide was enjoyable and the explanations were very thorough. 😊✨ I felt safe and was able to have fun even with children.

I would like to use this service for a different tour as well!

天気があまり良くない日でしたが
楽しくガイドしていただいて
説明もとても丁寧でした😊✨
子ども連れでも安心して楽しめました。

また違うツアーでも利用したいです！

We experienced kayaking at my son's request. My mother and elementary school daughter were a bit anxious, but even as beginners, we received careful instruction, making it a memorable family experience on our last day in Okinawa.

息子の希望でカヤックを体験しました。母と小学生娘は少し不安でしたが、初めてでも丁寧に教えていただき、沖縄最終日の家族の思い出になりました。
