All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

From snorkeling to SAP, there were plenty of activities to enjoy in the natural surroundings of rivers and waterfalls! The instructors were kind, and it was a safe tour that even beginners could enjoy!

シュノーケルからSAPまで、海川滝の自然の中で楽しめるアクティビティが詰まってました！
インストラクターさんも優しい方で、初心者でも楽しめる安全なツアーでした！

I was taken to a place that is difficult to reach on foot. Not only our tour guide, Mr. Suzuki, but also the staff from the Hakone Visitor Center accompanied us and provided explanations about Hakone's nature, allowing us to learn a lot. There were steep slopes that felt tough on my usually lazy legs, and my backside was sore afterward, but I had a great time. Thank you very much.

歩いて行くには大変な場所に連れていっていただくことができました。
ツアーガイドの鈴木さんだけではなく箱根のビジターセンターの方もついて箱根の自然について解説をしてくださるので学ぶことができます。
ふだんサボっている足にはきつく感じる上り坂もあり、終わったあとはおしりも痛いですが、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました。

The journey to the limestone cave was filled with the essence of Iriomote Island, and even though it had just begun, the kids were already thrilled to be there. Upon entering the cave, it felt like something out of a TV show, with a high ceiling and water that required us to crouch down. We couldn't help but wonder how the first person ever managed to get through such a place.

After the cave, we landed on Barasu Island. Although it was just a landing, it was enough to refresh us after the tiring and sweaty experience in the cave. During our lunch break, we were directed to two restaurants; one was a bit fancy but crowded, and the staff warned that we might not make it back in time. The other place wouldn’t allow wet clothes, which left us in a bit of a bind. Just when we were worried about where to eat, we discovered a PiPi staff member! They informed us that there was a supermarket with bento boxes available. Seizing the opportunity, we bought bento and drinks at the supermarket and enjoyed a luxurious lunch by the harbor while looking at the sea.

After lunch, we embarked on an afternoon canoe tour. At first, we struggled and ended up bickering as a parent-child pair while heading towards the waterfall. By the time we reached the waterfall, we were already full from the tour but played with all our might. On the way back, we were so in sync that it felt like we could join a rowing club, and thus our adventure came to an end. Our guide, Kuri-chan, provided detailed and easy-to-understand explanations, making it a truly satisfying tour! Thank you very much!

鍾乳洞までの道のりは西表島感満載のジャングルで、まだ始まったばかりなのに参加して良かったーと子供達は大満足。
鍾乳洞に入るとテレビで見るような腰をかがめて通るような水面と天井が高い洞窟で、こんなところ最初の人はよく通ろうと思ったよねーの連発。
鍾乳洞が終わると、今度はバラス島に上陸。上陸のみでしたが、鍾乳洞での疲れと汗だくの体を癒すのに充分でした笑
そしてお昼休憩でしたが案内されたお店は2店舗で、1か所はちょっとオシャレなお店でしたが混んでいてスタッフに集合時間にはまにあわかもしれないと…もう一店舗のお店は濡れた服はお断りとの事…食べるとこがないなーと困っていたところPiPiスタッフの人発見‼︎その場所はスーパーでお弁当がありますとの事‼︎これ幸いとスーパーでお弁当とドリンクを購入し、港で海を見ながら食べるというなんとも贅沢なランチに変更‼︎
そしてランチが終わると、午後はカヌーツアーで最初は慣れずに親子ペアでケンカになりながら滝を目指します
滝遊びをする頃にはもうツアーもお腹いっぱいでしたが全力で遊び、帰りのカヌーもボート部に入れるんじゃないかというぐらい呼吸もあい旅も終了となりました
ガイドをして頂いたくりちゃんの説明も詳しくてわかりやすく本当に納得のいくツアーでした‼︎ありがとうございました‼︎

I participated in the PM tour. The weather was clear and calm, making for perfect conditions. The boat's course also shows other World Heritage sites from the battlefield, in addition to Hashima Island.

As we approached Hashima Island, the boat turned so that we could take photos from both the starboard and port sides, so it didn't matter where you sat. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting trivia, which was very educational. The three hours flew by.

It was understandable that the buildings on Hashima Island are impossible to preserve and are gradually deteriorating, making this the best time to visit. There seem to be many repeat visitors, and I also definitely want to join this fun tour again.

PMのツアーに参加しました。当日は快晴ベタなぎで絶好のコンディションでした。船のコースは軍艦島以外の世界遺産も戦場から見せてくれます。
軍艦島に接近すると、右舷・左舷ともに写真がとれるように旋回してくれるのでどこに座ってもよいです。
ガイドさんがとても専門的で、ちょいちょい雑学を放り込んできて、とても勉強になりました。あっという間の３時間でした。
軍艦島の建物は保存が不可能で、どんどん朽ちていくので今が一番良い状態というのも納得でした。リピーターも多いようですが、私も是非リピートしたいとおもう楽しいツアーでした。

I participated with a preschooler, and we had a great time. It was a tour around three islands, and the price was reasonable, including meals. It was very helpful that we could add a lunch option for the child for an additional fee.

未就学児を伴う参加でしたがとても楽しめました。3島を巡るツアーですが食事込みで価格もお手頃でした。子供用の昼食も別料金ですが付けることが出来たのでとても助かりました。

We chose this tour for our three-generation family trip, as my parents didn't want to engage in active activities like snorkeling. Although it wasn't sunny due to the day after the typhoon, the guides for the mangrove cruise, the bus, and the water buffalo cart were all very skilled at storytelling, making the sightseeing enjoyable.

At Yubu Island, we had 90 minutes of free time, which included a pre-prepared traditional lunch. If the meal takes a while, I think 90 minutes might be a bit short (we couldn't fully explore the island). After this, we returned to Iriomote Island by water buffalo cart for the second time, and then took a boat back to Ishigaki Port to conclude the tour.

My child and I felt a bit unsatisfied due to the lack of activities in the sea, but my parents said, "Since there isn't much walking, this tour is just right for older people." I think it would be enjoyable for elderly individuals or families with small babies.

親子3世代の旅行で、かつ両親はシュノーケルなどアクティブなことはしたくないということだったので、こちらのツアーを選びました。
台風が過ぎた翌日ということで、晴天にはなりませんでしたが、マングローブクルーズのガイドさん、バスのガイドさん、水牛車のガイドさん、皆さんお話が流れるように上手で、楽しく観光ができました。

由布島では90分間、予め用意された御膳式のお弁当ランチを含んだ自由時間となります。食事に時間がかかってしまう場合は、90分はちょっと短いかなと思います（島内観光はまわり切れませんでした）。
この後、2度目の水牛車で西表島へ戻ってから、船で石垣港に戻って終了となります。

私と子どもは海に入るアクティビティがないので少し物足りなさを感じましたが、両親は「徒歩移動もあまりないから年寄りにはちょうどよいツアーだわ」と言っていました。お年を召した方や小さな赤ちゃん連れには楽しめるのではないでしょうか。

Due to the typhoon, it was cloudy and rainy. The morning cruise around Iriomote Island was cloudy. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the mangrove roots due to high tide. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo during high tide as well. After that, it rained on Taketomi Island. During a brief break in the rain, we cycled to Kaiji Beach. Since we were short on time, we couldn't search for star sand and had a busy cycling experience. The weather really affects the islands. Next time, I want to go when it's sunny!

台風の影響で曇り、雨でした。
午前中の西表島のクルーズは曇り。満潮でマングローブの根っこは見られず、残念でした。
由布島も満潮の中、水牛で渡りました。
その後の竹富島は雨。雨がやんだちょっとの間にカイジ浜までサイクリング。時間に限りがあったので、星の砂は探せず大忙しのサイクリングでした。
島は、天気に左右されますね。今度は、晴れの時に行きたいです！

We received a customized guide based on what we had seen in the past. Additionally, the taxi we used kept the windows slightly open during the ride for ventilation as a precaution against infection.

過去に私たちが見たことがあるものを聞いてカスタマイズした案内をして頂きました。また利用したタクシーは換気の為走行中もずっと少し窓を空けて感染予防をしていました。

It was usually around 40 people, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were only 6 participants.

Since there were fewer people, we were able to use the space on the boat somewhat freely, ensuring sufficient social distancing, and thorough disinfection measures were in place.

All participants gathered early, which allowed for an earlier departure. With extra time, we were able to see the evening factory scenery, and in the end, we got close to the area near the Ferris wheel in Minato Mirai.

The night view of the factories was beautiful, and the breeze on the boat was pleasant, making for a very enjoyable time.

通常40人程度の事ですが、コロナ禍ということもあり6名の参加でした。

人数が少なかった為、船内をある程度自由に使うことができ、ソーシャルディスタンスも十分確保できており、消毒なども徹底されていました。

参加者全員が早めに集合した事もあり少し早めの出航、時間に余裕があった為、夕方の工場も見ることができ、最後はみなとみらいの観覧車付近まで、寄っていただけました。

工場夜景は美しく、船上でうける風も気持ちがいいもので大変楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂きました。

I was able to visit many places I wanted to see in Okinawa for the first time, and it was great that the seating was spaced out due to COVID-19 measures. I think it's a good deal to be able to go around for a day with meals included at this price.

初めての沖縄で行ってみたかった所にたくさん行け、コロナ対策で席の間隔も空いており良かったです。ご飯付きで一日回れてこの価格はお得だと思います。

Perhaps due to the impact of the new infectious disease, both the observation deck and Shirakawa-go were easy to visit.

There was plenty of time for strolling, and the guide shared various tips about photo spots and recommended souvenirs from Kanazawa, which was great.

新型感染症の影響か、展望台も白川郷自体も観光しやすかった

散策時間もたっぷりあったし、ガイドさんが写真スポットや金沢のおすすめのおみやげ等も色々教えてくれたのでよかったです

I honestly underestimated it.

The cruising from Yokohama Port.

I'll skip the details here.

Because I want you, who is watching this, to see it with your own eyes!

It was amazing!

正直舐めていました。

横浜港発のクルージングを。

ここでの詳細は割愛します。

なぜなら、これをみているあなたが、実際の目で確かめて欲しいから！


最高でしたよ！

The seats are assigned with quite a bit of space in between. While the bus was moving, there was an incredible wind, so I was able to enjoy the ride without worry. The night view was more beautiful than I had imagined. I would like to participate again.

座席はかなり間隔をあけて指定されています。バスが動いている間は、物凄い風なので、心配なく過ごせました。
夜景は想像以上にきれいでした。また参加したい。

I had different guides for Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo! I wonder if they are from different companies? However, it seemed like all the guides knew each other, and even though I was participating alone, other guides came over to chat with me, so I didn't feel lonely at all!

【Jomon Sugi】
- Even though the pace of the other participants was slow, the guide adjusted to match the slowest person's pace without rushing anyone. I think even those who might be anxious about keeping up with the group can participate. However, those who are lagging behind might feel pressured, so it would be nice if they could ask about preferred pace during the application process and organize groups in advance! It might have just been coincidence, but since I was with another solo participant at Shiratani Unsuikyo, we were able to chat a lot, which was really enjoyable.

- I participated in August during the peak summer heat, so I was worried about heatstroke, but the guide took regular breaks, allowing us to hydrate and replenish electrolytes effectively! However, elderly participants or those with concerns about stamina should avoid Jomon Sugi in the summer. Although the temperature drops somewhat at higher altitudes, it is still hot in summer. I think choosing the right season is important.

The perk of participating in the summer was that we could play in the river for about 15 minutes on the way back. It felt so refreshing on my tired body! However, considering the bus schedule on the way back, I can't guarantee that this will always be possible, so please take this as a reference.

[Shiratani Unsuikyo]
Since I had the Jomon Sugi trekking the day before, I actually hoped to start around 8 or 9 AM. However, I was informed that only early morning departures were available on my desired date, so I changed to a 5 AM departure, and it was definitely better to go early! The mystical scenery that can only be seen in the early morning is breathtaking, and with fewer people around, we could take our time. We were back around noon, which allowed us to use the afternoon meaningfully. Even though it was trekking early in the morning for consecutive days, I was glad to get an early start.

I was able to trek while listening to the guide's stories, and I really fell in love with Yakushima. I already miss Yakushima! Haha. Next time, I want to challenge myself to Mount Miyanoura! I also took a lot of photos, which became wonderful memories! Thank you very much!

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡では別々のガイドさんでした！会社は違うのかな？でもガイドさん同士はみんなお知り合いのようで、1人参加でしたが、他のガイドさんも話掛けてきてくれたりして寂しい思いなく過ごせました！


【縄文杉】
・他の参加者の方のペースが遅くても、急かすことなく1番遅い方にペースを合わせて下さってました。周りのペースに合わせられるかな？って不安な方でも参加できると思いますただ、遅れてしまっている方は焦ると思うので、できれば申し込み時に希望のペースを聞いて事前にグループ分けをしてもらえるといいなと思いました！
たまたまかもしれないですが、白谷雲水峡では同じ1人参加の方と2人だったので、色々お話ができてとても楽しかったです。

・8月の真夏に参加したので熱中症が心配されてましたが、細かく休憩を取ってくださったので、水分・塩分補給を細かく摂取することができました！でも高齢の方、体力に不安のある方は真夏の縄文杉は避けたほうがいいです。山の上なので多少気温は下がりますが、やはり夏なので暑いです。季節の選択も重要だなと思いました。

真夏に参加する特権は、帰りに沢で川遊びを15分くらいできたことです疲れた身体に冷たくてとても気持ちよかったですよ真夏でも、帰りのバスの時間の兼ね合いとかもあると思うので、必ず寄れるかはわかりませんので参考程度にお願いします。


[白谷雲水峡]
前日に縄文杉トレッキングがあったので、本当は8時、9時頃の出発希望でした。
希望日に早朝出発しか催行しないとのことで、朝5時出発に変更しましたが、早朝出発のほうが絶対いいです！早朝だからこその神秘的な風景が見られるし、人が少ないのでゆっくり進むことができます。12時頃には帰って来れるので、午後を有意義に使えるのが魅力です連日早朝からのトレッキングでしたが、早くから動いてよかったです


ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらトレッキングすることができて、屋久島がすごい好きになりましたすでに屋久島が恋しいです！笑
今度は宮之浦岳も挑戦してみたいな～！
写真もたくさん撮っていただき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

The tour began at the park entrance around sunset. We were first provided with insect repellent spray and flashlights, and since we wouldn't be entering any dangerous areas, it was fine to wear sandals, making it easy to participate in the tour without carrying anything.

Typically, this tour is very popular, with dozens of groups participating each day, but due to recent circumstances, there were only a few of us today. However, we didn't have to worry about crowding, and we were able to listen to the guide's stories at a leisurely pace, which made for a very valuable experience.

The content of the tour likely varies depending on the weather and season, but we observed various creatures while walking through the lush forest park, and then we went to an open area to stargaze. Time flew by, and even as two adults, we had plenty of fun.

On the day we participated, we were fortunate enough to see coconut crabs more than ten times after the rain. This was a tour I would love to join again when I visit Miyako Island next time. It was an experience that allowed me to take home wonderful memories, and I would recommend the night tour to family and friends, not just spending time at the beach.

日が沈んだ頃に公園入口に集合でツアーが始まりました。初めに虫除けスプレーと懐中電灯を貸して頂き、危険な場所には入らないので、サンダルでも大丈夫とのことで、手ぶらでも気軽にツアー参加できました。
例年は大変人気のツアーで一日に何十組も参加されるとのことですが、昨今の状況もあり本日は少数でのツアーとなりましたが、３密になることもなく、ガイドさんのお話もゆっくり聞けて、とても貴重な体験ができたと感じました。
ツアーの内容は自然相手のため、天候や季節によって変わると思いますが、生き物を観察しながら自然豊富な森の中の公園を抜け、その先の開けた場所で星空を観察し、あっという間に時間が過ぎ、大人２人でも十分に楽しめました。
特に参加した日は、雨上がりでヤシガニを１０回以上見ることができる幸運にも恵まれました。
次回宮古島を訪れた際にも、もう一度参加したいと思えるツアーでした。思い出話をお土産にできる体験ができ、ビーチで過ごすだけでなく、ナイトツアーも家族や友人にも勧めたいと思います。

This is a tour around Shirakawa-go and Takayama. The guide, Mr. K, shared very interesting stories, and in Shirakawa-go, I was shown recommended photo spots. The lunch was delicious, and there was plenty of free time for exploring in Takayama, allowing us to enjoy souvenir shops and street food. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the availability of rental plastic umbrellas and reminders for hand sanitizer, which are often overlooked. Thank you for your hospitality during that time.

白川郷と高山を周るツアーです。
ガイドのKさんのお話がとても興味深く、白川郷ではおすすめの写真撮影スポットを教えてもらえました。
お昼ご飯も美味しく、高山では自由散策の時間がたっぷりで、お土産屋さんや食べ歩きも楽しむことができます。
貸し出し用のビニール傘が用意されていたり、忘れがちなアルコール消毒のお声掛けを頂いたり、細やかなお心遣いが嬉しかったです。
その節はお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

The one-way trek takes about 2 hours along a cart path, followed by a 3-hour climb up the mountain. It significantly tests your physical strength and endurance, but the sense of achievement upon completing the entire journey is exceptional. However, after descending that day, I was too exhausted to do anything.

During the trek, I experienced some trouble with my toenails, but soaking my feet in a stream helped cool them down and they recovered quite a bit. Considering the pace management, explanations at various points along the way, and the response to issues that arose (in another party, the guide carried the bags due to a foot injury), I believe the guide was truly commendable.

片道がトロッコ道の徒歩で2時間、そこから山を3時間程度上るもの。体力筋力を著しく使ってつらいけれど、全行程クリアした際の達成感は格別。なおその日は下山後は疲労で何もできず。
また行程中で足の爪にトラブル発生したところ、沢に足を入れて冷やして大分回復した。
ペース配分や途中での各所解説、トラブル発生時の対応(他のパーティーでは足の負傷により荷物をガイドさんが代わりに運んでいた)などを鑑みれば、ガイドさんはあらまほしきものと思う。

I felt that there was a difference in how the guide interacted with participants. Additionally, during the long-distance trekking tour, there were instances of the participants being subjected to aggressive questioning about Yakushima, and when they didn't know the answers, they were often dismissed with a snort, which was quite unpleasant. It was disappointing to be part of a tour where, despite the physical challenges, I couldn't answer the questions and was unable to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace.

コースの参加者によってガイドの応対に差があると感じました。
また長距離トレッキングツアー中の参加者へ屋久島に関する知識の高圧的な質問責めがあり、分からないと鼻であしらわれることも多々あり、いい気はしませんでした。体力的に厳しい中での質問では答えられず、景色をゆっくり眺められない状態になり、お客として参加したのに残念なツアーになってしまいました。

I've been to Miyako Island many times, but this was my first time taking photos with the starry sky! I had wanted to try it once, so I signed up! As soon as I got out of the car at the location, I was amazed by the stunning starry sky. Stars were everywhere! And the magnificent Milky Way was clearly visible to everyone!

Moreover, it happened to be the day of the Perseids meteor shower, and I was able to see shooting stars several times! The staff were quick to greet us and the service was smooth. They guided each group to the shooting location to avoid crowding, but since it was dark, I felt it was hard to be overly concerned about social distancing.

On the way back, there were quite a few cars parked, but everyone was quietly enjoying the starry sky.

Traveling with kids can be challenging no matter where you go, and even in the dark, there were some squabbles, but we managed to take some lovely family photos! However, one disappointing thing was that since it was a night shoot, I thought our faces wouldn't be clearly visible, so I didn't put on makeup and my husband didn't groom his beard... (laughs) Next time, I want to be fully prepared and try again! Thank you very much.

宮古島には何度もきていますが星空との写真撮影は初めて！
一度やってみたくて申し込みしました！現地につくともー車をおりた瞬間に感動の星空。どこみても星、星、星！そして誰がみてもハッキリとわかる壮大な天の川！
そしてなんとなんとペルセウス座流星群の日で何度か流れ星もみれました！
スタッフの方もすぐ声をかけてくださり対応もスムーズ。3密にならないよう一組ずつ撮影場所に案内していましたがなんせ暗闇なので3密とかソーシャルディスタンスとかそこまで神経質になれない状況なのかなと感じました。

帰り際は停車してる車もかなり増えておりましたが星空はみなさん静かに観賞されてました。

子連れだとどこいっても大変ですが暗闇の中でもケンカしたりとめんどうでしたが素敵な家族写真が撮れました！
たーだ、一つ残念なのが夜の撮影なので顔がハッキリ写らないと思い込んでいたら写るらしく私はメイク、夫はひげを整えておらず…(笑)
次回は準備万端でまた挑みたいと思いました！
ありがとうございました。

The tour from Naha to the northern part of Okinawa Island was the only one available, and I wanted to know what the northern part was like, so I signed up. It turned out to be a great decision to participate; places like Cape Hedo and the Okinawa Grand Canyon were very interesting, and I thought I would like to come back again. Additionally, it was nice to be able to take my time at the not-so-crowded Churaumi Aquarium.

On another note, as many people have mentioned, it was disappointing that the time spent in the northern area was short. This was due to the initial time allocation as well as the fact that our guide was someone who enforced group behavior, which made the free time in the north very limited.

Overall, I was very glad to have the experience of going from Naha to the northern part of the island. I think you can see a different side of Okinawa, so I recommend it.

　那覇から沖縄本島北部へと行くツアーはこのツアーしかなく、本島北部はどんな感じかを知りたくて、申し込みました。結果は参加して大正解で、辺戸岬や大石林山など、非常に面白かったですし、また来たいとも思いました。加えて、あまり混雑していない美ら海水族館もゆっくり見れて良かったです。
　その他、思ったこととして、多くの人が書いているように、北部の滞在時間が短かかったことは残念でした。当初の時間配分もそうですし、今回のガイドさんが団体行動を強いる人だったため、北部での滞在時間（自由行動）が短かったのが非常に残念でした。
　ともかくも、那覇から本島北部に行くという体験できて、非常に良かったです。沖縄の違った一面が見れると思いますので、オススメします。

I was glad to learn about the names of rare butterflies and plants while canoeing through the mangroves. Thank you for taking photos at the waterfall and various locations as well. I would like to participate again.

　カヌーでマングローブの中を進む時、珍しいちょうの名前や、植物について教えていただけてよかったです。また、滝やさまざまな場所で写真も撮っていただきありがとうございました。
　また参加したいです。

This was my first time participating in an activity through Veltra. I decided to join because the reviews were originally good. There were many participants, but we split into teams and snorkeled at two points. A life jacket is mandatory and cannot be removed. It was also my first time with stand-up paddleboarding, but I had a great time! Thank you very much.

ベルトラからアクティビティの参加は初めてでした。口コミも元々良かったので参加を決めました。参加人数は多かったですがチームで別れてシュノーケル2ポイントしました。ライフジャケットは必須で外すのは出来ません。SUPも初めてでしたが、楽しく出来ました！ありがとうございました。

I participated with my middle school and high school children. I was worried because a typhoon was coming, but instead of canceling, we postponed and took on the challenge! I'm really glad we didn't give up and participated. The guide was truly entertaining! I couldn't stop feeling excited! We found various creatures one after another! My daughter and son, who were initially reluctant due to their rebellious phase, were surprisingly thrilled! We got to see a starry sky with the Milky Way, and my troubled heart cleared up; it was truly a wonderful night. It might have been the most fun I've had on Ishigaki Island. I apologize for the trouble when my son rushed to the restroom due to a stomachache, but everyone was so warm-hearted, and I can't express how grateful I am for that night. I want to go again!

私と中学生、高校生の子供と三人で参加しました。台風が来ていたので心配でしたが、キャンセルせずに日延べをしてチャレンジ！あきらめず参加してよかったです。本当にガイドさんが面白い！　とにかくワクワクが止まりません！　いろいろな生き物が次から次へと見つけるし出てくるし！　最初は気乗りしなかった反抗期の娘と息子はびっくりするぐらい大はしゃぎ！満点の星空に天の川が見れて、モヤモヤした心がすっきり晴れて本当に素敵な夜でした。石垣島で一番楽しかったかもです。途中で息子が腹痛でトイレに駆け込みご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さん心温かくて感謝しきれないくらいの夜でした。また行きたいです！

The weather was nice, and we were able to have a great time with a private tour. Also, the guide's explanations were easy to understand. Thank you very much.

天気も良く、貸し切りで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、ガイドさんの説明も解りやすかったです
ありがとうございました

Our family's first trip to Iriomote Island. Considering the weather conditions after the typhoon, they suggested shifting our schedule by one day. We enjoyed a SUP experience in the mangroves and took commemorative photos at the waterfall. My 7-year-old son was excited and thoroughly enjoyed paddling while standing. The guide sent us the best shots individually in an album, which was touching!

During lunch, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm, but in the afternoon, we enjoyed snorkeling at Barasu Island under clear skies, taking in the beautiful scenery. With their thoughtful attention and friendly guided tour, the kids had a great time and we had a valuable experience. I will create a photo book with the pictures taken! Thank you very much!

家族で初めての西表島。台風通過後の気象状況を考慮してくださり、予定を１日ずらしては、との提案をしてくださいました。
マングローブをSUP体験しながら、滝での記念写真✨7歳息子も張り切りながら、立ち漕ぎを堪能していました。ガイドさんがベストショットを個別にアルバム送付してくださり、感激しました！！
昼食時には、スコール雷雨に見舞われましたが、
午後のバラス島シュノーケリングでは、晴天の下、美しい光景を満喫できました。
細やかな気くばりと、フレンドリーなガイドツアーで
子供達も楽しく、貴重な体験をさせていただきました
撮影していただいた写真で、フォトブックを作製します！ありがとうございました

The typhoon is passing on the left side of the island, but we started our tour around Yakushima in a counterclockwise direction. While listening to the guide's quiet jokes (which were funny), I learned a bit more about Yakushima.

台風が島の左側通過してるけど、島を反時計回りでスタート　　ガイドさんの静かなボケ（笑うとこ）を聞き流しながら屋久島の事が少し詳しくなりました。

I couldn't see the seabed at Balas Island because the tide was high, but the surrounding area was vibrant with coral, and I was able to see many fish, including sea turtles and clownfish!
I landed on Hatoma Island and was able to stroll around leisurely!
Due to the typhoon's impact, the sea was quite rough, and I couldn't reach the points I wanted to visit around Hatoma Island, but I had a great time snorkeling.

バラス島は潮が満ちていて海底の中で見れなかったけど、周辺はサンゴが生き生きしていてウミガメはクマノミなどたくさんのお魚を見ることができました❗️
鳩間島に上陸しのんびり散策できました❗️
台風の影響で海は大シケで鳩間島周辺の行きたいポイントには行けませんでしたが、シュノーケル三昧で楽しかったです

The day before, the waves were high and it seemed like there would be cancellations, but luckily we were able to land. The next day, due to the approaching typhoon, there were indeed cancellations, so I really feel fortunate. As the memories of that time fade away, it became a great opportunity to learn about the industries that supported Japan back then.

前日も波が高く欠航になってそうですが、運良く上陸する事ができました。翌日も台風接近でやはり欠航になり、本当に運が良かったと思います。当時の様子がどんどん風化していく中で、当時の日本を支えた産業を知る良い機会になりました。

Arriving in the morning allowed for a good schedule for the trip to Taketomi Island at 1 PM.

Taketomi Island had a relaxed atmosphere. The water buffalo cart moves along at the pace of the water buffalo.

We walked through the town that I had seen on TV.

当日の午前中に到着するため、午後13時からの竹富島行きはスケジュール的に良かったです。

竹富島はのんびりとした雰囲気でした。
水牛車は水牛のごきげんに合わせて進んで行きます。

テレビで見た事のある町中を歩いていきます。

I participated with my sixth-grade son. We received notice the day before that we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the waves, so we entered Iriomote Island with low spirits, but in the end, it was a tour that left both of us very satisfied with the active nature activities on Iriomote Island.

First, we explored the mangroves with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We enjoyed the journey while observing rare plants and creatures, taking our own routes, and occasionally, the tour guide would fall in with a splash, which added to the fun. Fortunately, I didn't fall in, but I was sweating while paddling.

Then, we entered the river and walked towards the waterfall. The water temperature was cool, and it felt really nice. I completely forgot that my sunscreen would wash off as I got drenched under the waterfall, haha. Since Barasu Island was canceled, we were originally supposed to stop here, but we decided to join the canyoneering in the afternoon, which was arranged on short notice. We swam, slid, jumped into the river, and did some rock climbing. My son was overjoyed, saying this was the most fun part of the trip.

Although rain was forecasted for the day, we were blessed with good weather throughout, and we had a great time moving our bodies while fully enjoying the great outdoors. The guide was very friendly and lively, and he safely led us through the activities. He also took a lot of photos for us. Next time, I definitely want to participate with my husband and the whole family.

小六の息子と2人で参加しました。
波の影響でバラス島には行けないと前日連絡があり、
テンション低めで初の西表入りしましたが
結果、西表島のアクティブな自然遊びに親子共々大満足のツアーでした。
まずはSUPでマングローブ探検。
珍しい植物や生き物を眺めながら思い思いのルートでまわり、時々ツアーの方がドボンと落ちるなど楽しみながら進んでいきました。私は幸い？落ちなかったものの汗だくで漕ぎながら進みました。
そして途中から川に入って歩いて進み滝打ち。
水温も冷たく、すごく気持ちよかったです。
日焼け止めが取れることも忘れて滝に打たれまくりましたっ笑。
バラス島が中止になったので本来ここまでですが、
急遽ご案内いただいたキャニオリングに午後参加することに。川を泳いだり滑ったり飛び込んだり、ロッククライムしたり。これが息子的には1番この旅行で楽しかったと大喜びでした。
この日は雨予報でしたが終始お天気にも恵まれ、また大自然を満喫しながら心地よく身体を動かせとても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もとても気さくで楽しく盛り上げ、そして安全に導いてくださりました。お写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
次回は是非、旦那さん含め家族全員で参加したいです。
