All Reviews for Hiking & Trekking Tours

I went to Taiko Rock.
Since it was my first time trekking, it was quite challenging.
For those who are aware of their lack of exercise, it seems that bringing trekking poles makes it easier.

Many people at Shiratani Unsuikyo go without a guide, but I often found myself wondering where to walk, so I think beginners should definitely hire a guide for peace of mind. You can also learn a lot from their stories.

Since it was early in the morning, there were few people passing by, and I could walk leisurely. On the way down, I started to encounter many people, so I got the impression that a lot of people start around 9 AM. I'm glad I left early, as I was able to enjoy Taiko Rock all to myself.

The guide was dressed lightly in a T-shirt and shorts, but I bumped my legs against rocks quite a bit, so I think wearing long pants or tights would have been better. Yakushima is full of rocks, so it can be quite painful. Since I was in the mountains, I probably didn't need a hat. Just wearing a hat made me feel quite hot, and I ended up taking it off at the end.

太鼓岩まで行きました。
トレッキングは初めてなので、けっこう大変でした。
運動不足を自覚している人は、ストックを持って行くと楽だそうです。

白谷雲水狭はガイドをつけてない人も多くいますが
どこを歩いたらいいの？と思うことが度々あったので
初心者はガイドを付けた方が安心です。お話も色々聞けて勉強になります。

早朝だったので、すれ違う人も少なくゆったりと歩けました。
下山の時には、たくさんの人とすれ違うようになったので
9時頃に出発の人が多いのかなーという印象です。
朝早く出たので、太鼓岩が独り占めできてよかったです。

ガイドさんはTシャツ半ズボンという軽装でしたが、私は足をあっちこっちに
ぶつけたので、長ズボンかタイツでよかったとおもいます。
屋久島は岩だらけなので、結構いたいです。
山の中だったので、帽子はいらなかったかな。帽子被るだけでけっこう暑く感じて、最後は脱いでいました。

It was more enjoyable than I expected, and I had a fulfilling day blessed with good weather. I knew that fit individuals were participating in this course, so I was a bit nervous at the start. The initial pace was fast, and I worried about keeping up, but our guide managed the walking time and breaks well, allowing us to walk comfortably in the end.

We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo → Taiko Rock → Jomon Sugi in that order. Since we came to Yakushima with the goal of seeing Jomon Sugi, it was the perfect order for our group to see it last. Along the way, we received a lot of energy from the guide's stories, photo opportunities, and the power of nature, making it an exciting and thrilling 11-hour trek. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience nature in a day. Thank you, guide Shinmura.

期待以上に楽しく、天気に恵まれ充実した一日でした。
このコースは健脚の方が参加しているとしり、初めはドキドキのスタートでした。
初めのペースが速く着いていけるかと途中心配もしましたが、ガイドさんが歩く時間、休憩と上手にとってもらい、結局は余裕をもって歩くことが出来ました。
今回は白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉の順で回りました。
縄文杉を目的に屋久島に来たので、最後に縄文杉は私たちグループにとっては最高の順番でした。
途中のガイドさんの話や、写真撮影、大自然のパワーをたくさんもらい、終始ウキウキ、ワクワクの１１時間のトレッキングでした。達成感も半端ないです。１日で大自然を感じたい方、お勧めです。ガイドの新村さんありがとうございました。

Thanks to our kind guide Yoshifumi, my 8-year-old son was able to fully enjoy the experience. Despite the difficult conditions due to the rain the night before, he made accurate judgments based on his rich experience. Additionally, considering the unstable weather and my child's stamina, he led us in a way that made my son say, "I want to go again." We look forward to the next time!

親切なガイドの吉節さんのお陰で８歳の息子も存分に楽しめたようです。
前夜の雨により判断が難しいなか、豊かな経験に基づき的確な判断をしてくださいました。
また、天候も不安定な中、子供の体力などを鑑みながらリードしていただいたお陰で、息子も「また行ってみたい」と言っています。
次回も宜しくお願いします。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking for the first time. I wasn't confident that my wife and my 9-year-old child would be able to complete it, so we requested a guide, and that turned out to be the right decision. The guide shared knowledge about the history and plants, which kept us engaged on the long trolley path. The photo spots were perfect as well. On the way back, the guide even gave us quizzes, which helped my child successfully complete the trek.

A memorable moment was when a Yakushima macaque walked ahead of our group, leading the way. I would love to participate again.

初めて縄文杉トレッキング参加しました。嫁さんと子供(9歳)の完走に自信がなかったので、ガイドをお願いしましたが、これが正解でした。歴史や植物の知識を教えてくれ、長いトロッコ道も飽きずに進めました。写真ポイントもバッチリです。帰りもクイズを出してくれたりして子供も頑張って完歩できました。。
途中屋久ザルがわれわれ一行の前を先導する様に歩いてくれたのも楽しい思い出になりました。また参加したいです。

I thought the half-day course would be too short, but I was completely satisfied and was able to immerse myself in nature like never before. The wide sky and mangrove forest seen from the canoe, along with the occasional fish, were incredibly soothing. The trekking was more intense than I expected, and the refreshing coldness of the water when I jumped into the waterfall felt great. Our guide, Eri, explained the surrounding plants and insects, which helped me connect even more with Iriomote Island. The tour had a small group, which made it safe and allowed us to go at our own pace, which was wonderful. This trip became my favorite memory of the five days. I want to go canoeing in Iriomote Island again next time. Thank you!

半日コースで短いかなと思っていましたが、大満足でいつもは体験出来ない自然にどっぷりひたる事が出来ました。カヌーからみる広い空とマングローブの林とたまに見る魚はとっても癒されました。トレッキングは思っていた以上に本格的で、滝に飛び込んだ水の冷たさが気持ち良かったです。ガイドのエリさんが周りの植物や昆虫の説明をしてくれて更に西表島に親しめました。ツアーも少人数で危険もなく自分たちのペースで行けて良かったです。今回の旅行5日間で一番楽しかった思い出になりました。又次回も西表島カヌーに行きたいと思ってます。ありがとうございました！

We went trekking as a three-generation family: my 75-year-old grandmother, my son and his wife, and my 9-year-old granddaughter. We ran out of time, and both the 75-year-old and the 9-year-old were at their limits, so we could only make it to the夫婦杉 (Couple Cedar), just before Jomon Sugi. However, we encountered breathtaking natural scenery, wildlife, and the ancient Yakusugi trees that we would have missed if we hadn't gone. It was a tough trek, but this experience and the emotions we felt became unforgettable memories. I'm grateful to the guide for teaching us so much. Looking back, it was truly the best experience. Thank you!

75歳のおばあちゃん、その息子夫婦、9歳の女の孫と3世代で挑んだトレッキング。
時間が足りなくて、そして、75歳と9歳の足が限界で縄文杉一歩手前の夫婦杉までしか行けませんでしたが、行かないと分からない大自然の風景、生き物、屋久杉に出会い感動物でした。
しんどいトレッキングでしたが、この感動と体験は忘れられない思い出になりました。ガイドさんにも色々教えて頂き、感謝しています。とにかく今思えば最高でした。ありがとうございます。

The weather was favorable, and we could see the mountains clearly.
We took three hours to cover 3 km, so it was quite a slow pace.
Our guide, Mr. Umebayashi, was excellent.
He made it easy to understand the formation of the Shiretoko Five Lakes and shared interesting stories about the trees.
It was hot in the sunny spots, but when the wind blew, it was refreshing, and we enjoyed a nice forest bath.

天気に恵まれ山がくっきりみれました。
3ｋｍを3時間ですので、かなりゆっくりペースです。
ガイドの梅林さんがとてもよかったです。
知床5湖の成り立ち、木の話など聞きやすかったです。
日が当たる場所は暑かったですが、風が吹くとさわやかで、いい森林浴ができました。

It was a two-day optional tour on Yakushima for the first time, and I had a great time. The guide provided detailed explanations and kindly handled the sudden typhoon, for which I am very grateful. They also took many photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. If I have the chance to go to Yakushima again, I would like to request their services once more.

始めての屋久島で2日間のオプショナルツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです☺️
ガイドさんには、詳しく案内をして頂き、急な台風にも親切に対応して頂き、感謝しております。写真も沢山撮って頂き、一生の想い出になりました。また屋久島に行くことがあればお願いしたいです✨

I truly enjoyed the unique experiences that the tour offered over the two days, and I'm really glad I participated. While I think both places could be visited individually, the connections and encounters with others made it a wonderful experience that only a tour can provide.

Day 1: Jomon Sugi
With six tour members and our guide, it was not just about explanations; they also helped us bond as a group. The sense of unity and everyone's smiles at the finish line are unforgettable! I was delighted to have warm miso soup during lunch.

Day 2: Shiratani Unsuikyo
With four tour members and our guide, we had to return early due to the typhoon, but they adapted the schedule flexibly, which was truly impressive! Our guide not only led us but also acted as a photographer, capturing many wonderful photos and videos, which made the four of us girls very happy! We were able to enjoy the tour many times more thanks to our hospitable guide.

I am grateful for the wonderful encounters in Yakushima. I strongly recommend participation to anyone who is considering it. Thank you! ☺︎

2日間ともに、ツアーならではの楽しみを満喫できて、本当に参加してよかったです。どちらも個人でも行けなくはないと思いますが、人との出会い、繋がりができて、ツアーならではの楽しみかたができたので、素晴らしい経験になりました。

1日目の縄文杉:
ツアーメンバー6人とガイドさん。単なる説明だけでなく、メンバー同士も仲良くなれるよう盛り上げてくださいました。最後ゴールしたときの結束感、みんなの笑顔が忘れられません！お弁当の時あたたかいお味噌汁をいただいたのが嬉しかったです。
2日目白谷雲水峡:
ツアーメンバー4人とガイドさん。台風の影響で急遽はやく帰ることになり、時間など臨機応変に変更していただき、本当に神対応でした！ガイドさんとしてだけでなくカメラマンさんとして、素敵な写真、ムービーをたくさん撮ってくださり女子4人大喜びでした！ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんと回ることができ、通常の何倍も楽しめました！

屋久島での素敵な出会いに感謝です。迷ってるかたは参加を強くオススメします。ありがとうございました！☺︎

I was able to fully enjoy the northern part of Okinawa.

There are two trekking courses, and I chose the shorter one just in case, but it ended quickly. If you're young, the longer course should be fine.

Even though it was a weekday, the restaurant at the roadside station during lunch break was extremely crowded. The food was delicious, but the staff seemed overwhelmed, and the seating arrangements and clean-up were a bit sloppy. If you want to eat leisurely or look at souvenirs, it might be better to bring a bento or grab something from a nearby convenience store.

We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, and I felt a bit restless for about an hour, but I think those who love aquariums or have children will be able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

沖縄北部をいっきに満喫できました

トレッキングは2コースあり、時間が心配で念のため短い方にしましたがすぐ終わってしまい、普通に若い方なら長い方でも大丈夫そうです。

平日でしたが、ランチ休憩の道の駅のレストランは激混みでした。おいしかったけど店員さんがキツそうで、席への案内や片付けがずさんです。
ゆっくり食べたい、お土産も見たい方はお弁当持参か近くのコンビニで済ませても良いかもしれません。

美ら海水族館の時間がたっぷりとられていて、1時間くらい持て余しましたが、水族館が好きな方やお子様連れの方には余裕をもって楽しめると思います。

We requested a tour for just the two of us, as we thought it would be difficult to keep up with younger people in a group. Thanks to our guide's consideration of the pace, we were able to reach the summit safely, and we didn't feel sore the next day. I'm glad we made this request.

50代の夫婦でお願いしました。団体だと若い人について行くのは大変だと思い自分達だけのツアーにしました。ガイドさんがペース配分を考えて誘導していただいたおかげで、無事に登りきることも出来ましたし、次の日もつらくなかったです。お願いしてよかったと思いました。

Our tour guide was super sweet... we loved everything about this tour. after hiking the views at the top of the mountain were spectacular...

I participated with my 10-year-old son. It was almost our first time trekking, and we were a bit anxious, but thanks to our kind and reliable guide, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. The guide made sure to take regular breaks, and their thoughtfulness and attention to detail were truly wonderful. It was a challenging journey, but we managed to get through it! The guide had extensive knowledge about the mountains, plants, insects, and birds, and taught us many things. My son seems to have completely fallen in love with Yakushima.

It became a very lovely memory. I'm glad we chose this tour. Thank you very much!

10歳の息子と一緒に参加しました。トレッキングは親子ともにほぼ初めてで不安もありましたが、優しく頼もしいガイドさんのお陰で、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことができました。休憩をこまめにとってくださり、気配り、目配りが本当に素晴らしく、大変な道のりでしたが乗り切る事が出来ました！山や植物、虫や鳥の知識が豊富で、色々な事を教えて下さり、息子もすっかり屋久島に魅了されたようです。
とても素敵な思い出になりました。このツアーでよかったです。本当にありがとうございました！

We were able to reach Jomon Sugi with our family of three, including our 10-year-old child! Both my husband and I were not very confident in our physical strength, and with an elementary school student, we thought it would be enough to just make it to Wilson Stump. However, our guide took us at a comfortable, slow pace and made sure to take breaks frequently, successfully leading us all the way to Jomon Sugi! There’s no way we could have done it on our own. We are truly grateful. On the way back, my knees started to hurt, but it was very helpful that they lent me a support brace. The conversation was enjoyable, and I was able to keep walking without feeling exhausted until the end. Thank you very much!

10歳の子ども連れ家族3人で縄文杉まで行けました！
夫婦とも体力に自信がなく小学生もいるので、途中のウィルソン株まで行けたら十分かなと思っていました。でも、ガイドさんが無理なくゆっくりペースで、休憩もこまめにとってくださり、無事に縄文杉まで連れて行ってくれました！家族だけではとてもじゃないけど行けませんでした。本当に感謝しています。帰り道に膝が痛くなったのですが、サポーターを貸してくださるなどとてもありがたかったです。お話も楽しくて、最後までしんどいと思うことなく、歩き続けることができました。ありがとうございました！

This was my first trekking experience. I participated alone, and I had some anxiety, but thanks to my reliable and fun guide, I was able to complete it. The refreshing feeling after finishing is unforgettable! Thank you very much.

トレッキング初体験の私。一人での参加で、不安もありましたが、頼りになる楽しいガイドさんのおかげで完走できました。完走後の清々しさ、忘れられません！どうもありがとうございました。

Both the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course were blessed with great weather, allowing us to enjoy the wonderful scenery. Our guide, Yokota, shared interesting stories, and we learned about historical facts, making the two days fly by. I am truly grateful for the ample time we had for taking photos and for the excellent arrangements made at Taiko Rock. Additionally, everyone from Yakushima was warm and welcoming, and I have fallen in love with Yakushima all over again. I will definitely be back.

縄文杉コースも白谷雲水峡コースも天気に恵まれ、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。
ガイド横田さんのお話も面白く、歴史的な事など知れたりであっという間の2日間でした。
また、写真を撮る時間を多く頂いたり、太鼓岩では絶妙な采配をして頂いたりと本当に感謝しかありません。
また、屋久島の方皆さん温かく、屋久島が改めて好きになりました。リピート確実です。

Due to the impact of the typhoon, I requested changes to the tour schedule and content, and I apologize for the inconvenience. However, thanks to your efforts, I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Taiko Rock course on the last day of my trip to the islands. I received a lot of information from our guide, Mr. Shimozono, and I was able to create wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

台風の影響でツアー日程や内容を変更依頼し、お手数をかけてしましましたが、お陰様で離島最終日に晴天の太鼓岩コースを満喫することが出来ました。
ガイドの下園さんからは色々な情報を教えて頂き、良い思い出を作る事が出来ました。
本当にありがとうございます！

Thank you, Mr. Ito, for your assistance. Your encouraging words during the tour came at just the right moment, and I was able to see the long-awaited Jomon Sugi. It was an exceptional tour.

ガイドの伊藤さん、お世話になりました。
ツアー中の励ましのお言葉を、絶妙的なタイミングで頂き、念願の縄文杉を見ることが出来ました。
至れり尽くせりのツアーでした。

In July, two mother-daughter pairs (high school students) participated. We were worried about the weather since it had been raining until the day before, but during our two-day, one-night camping tour, we were blessed with great weather and were able to fully enjoy Yakushima! We visited places like the moss-covered trees, Taiko Rock, Wilson's Stump, and Jomon Sugi, and everywhere we went was uncrowded with stunning views, allowing us to take plenty of photos.

This time, we had two guides who accompanied us, staying at the front and back of our group, which gave us a great sense of security. When my daughter's knee started to hurt, they quickly applied tape, and to keep us entertained along the way, they asked us quiz questions. They also provided easy-to-understand explanations about Yakushima's history, as well as the animals and plants that inhabit the area, which was very educational.

In the evening, we enjoyed delicious meals! We were surprised to find that they had prepared juice for the girls and alcohol for us. It was so tasty! I heard that the guides' luggage weighs about 30 kg. That's incredible.

While we enjoyed the alcohol, I learned that some people might not be comfortable with it. I thought it might be good to confirm preferences through a questionnaire in advance to lighten the guides' load.

The next morning, we had breakfast while watching the morning sun shine on Jomon Sugi. It was truly a luxurious moment that I will never forget. Thank you very much to our guides, Shirakami and Yabuta!

7月に母娘(高校生)2組、4人で参加しました。
前日まで雨が降っていて天気が心配でしたが1泊2日のキャンプツアー中は天気に恵まれて屋久島を思う存分楽しむ事が出来ました！苔むす、太鼓岩、ウィルソン株、縄文杉、何処へ行っても空いていて素晴らしい景色を満喫し写真もたくさん撮れました。
今回、2名のガイドさんが同行してくれて列の前後に付いてくれたのでとても安心感がありました。
娘の膝が痛み出した時はすぐにテーピングをしてくれたり道中飽きないようにクイズを出題してくれたり、屋久島の歴史から生息する動物、植物の説明も分かりやすく勉強になりました。
夜は美味しいご飯をいただきました！また娘たちにはジュースを私たちにもアルコールを用意していただいていてビックリしました。美味しかったぁ〜！
聞けばガイドさんの荷物は30kgだとか。凄すぎです。
今回、私たちはアルコールが好きでしたが中には苦手な方もいるとの事でした。ガイドさんの負担を軽くする為にも事前にアンケートで確認してもいいのかなと思いました。
翌朝、朝陽の当たる縄文杉を観ながら朝食。本当に贅沢な時間でした。この感動は一生忘れないです。
ガイドの白水さん、藪田さん、大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました！

We were grateful to have a private guide for our family of four. We enjoyed kayaking freely, and we were completely satisfied with trekking and playing in the waterfall pool. The weather was cloudy and rainy after the typhoon, but it wasn't a problem. Although it was a half-day course, we had plenty of fun. I was also happy to receive the photos that were taken. I would like to rely on your services again when we visit next time.

私たち家族4人で、ガイドさん貸切状態でありがたかったです。カヤックも自由に楽しめ、トレッキング、滝つぼ遊びも全て満足です。台風の後で曇ったり雨が降ったりの天気でしたが、問題なかったです。半日コースでしたがたっぷり楽しめました。撮ってくださった写真もいただけて嬉しかったです。また遊びに行った際はお世話になりたいと思います。

Weather: Sunny
Guide: A calm person. They talked a lot to ensure it wasn't difficult. They skillfully supported my friend who was anxious about the climb and helped us well. They treated us to miso soup for lunch and listened to our requests at the end.
Contact: I received updates from Veltra regularly.

天候：晴れ
ガイド：落ち着いた方。沢山お話をしていただきつらくならないように
　　　　登山に不安のある友人を上手にサポートしていただき
　　　　上手に助けてくれ
　　　　昼食にお味噌汁をご馳走していただき
　　　　最後にわがままを聞いてくれました
連絡：ベルトラから逐一連絡がきます

We very much enjoyed our tour and our guide was very informative and thorough! :)

I requested a guide for the Shiratani Unsuikyo. Two housewives in their 50s, who are classmates, participated, and I challenged myself with trekking for the first time. It was very helpful that we took breaks at good times while taking photos along the way. The descent was tough as my knees started to hurt, but it was worth it to reach the mossy forest! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and they took really great photos with excellent techniques. Thank you very much!

白谷雲水峡へガイドをお願いしました。50代主婦2人同級生で参加、私は初トレッキング挑戦、途中いいタイミングで写真撮影しながら休憩を取ってくださったのでとても助かりました。下りは膝が痛くなりたいへんでしたが苔むす森まで行った甲斐はありました！
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく写メの取り方がお上手で本当にいい写真を撮ってくださり良かったです。有難うございました！

I participated with my younger sister. I work out at the gym twice a week, while my sister doesn't exercise at all, but thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, we were able to enjoy trekking throughout!

The flight we were scheduled to take the day before was canceled, and the later flights were fully booked... However, we didn't give up and switched to a high-speed ferry, managing to get to Yakushima somehow.

The next day, the weather was clear, as if the rough weather from the previous day was a lie. The forest was cool, sparkling from the rain, and truly beautiful! The guide mentioned that "the forest today is in the best condition," and I completely agreed.

Our party, excluding the guide, consisted of five relatively fit members, but it was helpful that we took regular breaks. During lunch, we were served delicious miso soup.

Not only during breaks but also while walking, the guide shared various stories about Yakushima's history and the flora and fauna of the forest, which kept us engaged and made trekking enjoyable!

Additionally, since everyone in the party was energetic, we were pleasantly surprised to be taken to a beautiful river, which was a thoughtful gesture.

After trekking, we all high-fived and said our goodbyes cheerfully! Not only the weather but also having a wonderful guide and party made it a truly fantastic experience. Thank you very much.

妹と2人で参加しました。わたしは週2でジムで筋トレする程度、妹は普段全く運動をしていないですが、ガイドさんの気遣いやペース配分のおかげで、終始楽しくトレッキングできました！



前日昼すぎに着く予定の飛行機が欠航し、後便も満席… でしたが諦めきれず、高速船に切り替えてなんとか屋久島入りできました。

翌日は前日の荒天がウソのように晴れて、森の中は涼しく、雨上がりでキラキラしていて本当に美しかったです！ガイドさんが「今日の森は最高のコンディション」と仰っていましたが、その通りだと思いました。

ガイドさん除き5人のパーティで、比較的体力のあるメンバーでしたが、こまめに休憩を取っていただけて助かりました。お昼ご飯の時にはお味噌汁も振舞っていただき美味しかったです。

休憩中だけでなく歩きながら、ガイドさんが屋久島の歴史や森の動植物のことなど、色んなことをお話しして教えて下さったので、集中力を切らさず楽しくトレッキングできました！

またパーティが全員元気だったこともあり、サプライズで綺麗な川に連れていっていただけたのも、お心遣いが嬉しかったです。

トレッキング後はメンバーみんなでハイタッチして、爽やかにお別れしました！天気だけでなく、素敵なガイドさんとパーティに恵まれて、本当に素敵な経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

This beginner course is just right in terms of time and physical effort.

I really enjoyed the Mononoke Forest, Yakusugi trees, and moss. The view from Taiko Rock was especially amazing. It's definitely worth seeing.

The guide was also fantastic. The rapport with everyone, their knowledge, and thoughtfulness received very positive feedback from the group.

時間的にも、体力的にもちょうどいい、初心者コースですね。

もののけの森や屋久杉や苔など、満喫できてよかったです。
特に太鼓岩からの眺めは最高でした。
一見の価値ありです。

ガイドさんも最高でした。
みなさんとの距離感や、知識、気遣いなど、仲間からの評判もとても良かったです。

I would have appreciated a message through VELTRA or a phone call the day before to confirm the change in pickup time. The reason is that when I check for any oversights at the end, I search for emails from "VELTRA" to review our previous communications.

I thought the guide was generally good. He had a lot of knowledge and insights about the island's history and the Yakusugi trees, which made him a great guide. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be that his talks were a bit long. Since the return bus time was fixed, it was quite stressful when the conversation extended during times when I wanted to prioritize time. In the end, I made it to the bus, so it was fine.

ピックアップ時間が変更になった旨はVElTRAを通じてメッセージか、若しくは前日に電話で再確認してほしかったです。
何故かと言うと、最後に抜けがないか確認するときに「VELTRA」でメールを検索して、今までのやり取りなどを確認していたからです。

ガイドさんは概ね良かったと思います。
島の歴史、屋久杉に関する知識やうんちくが多く、さすがガイドさんだと思いました。
一つだけ注文をつけるとするなら、少しだけ話しが長いことでした。
帰りのバスの時間が決まっているので、時間を優先したいタイミングで話が長いとかなり焦ります。
結果的にはバスには間に合いましたので、大丈夫でした。

Cape Hedo and the Great Stone Forest are far from Naha and difficult to visit individually, so I was very satisfied with the tour bus that took us around. Since the tour is mainly free time, there's absolutely no problem participating alone!

辺戸岬や大石林山は那覇からは遠く個人では行きにくい場所なのでツアーバスで巡れてとても満足です。自由行動が基本なので１人参加でも全く問題無し！

This tour was great! Although in Japanese, our guide (Mr. Umebayashi) was able to explain many of the things in English. During the active season for bear, you cannot see most of the lakes without going with a guide. The tour was at a nice, enjoyable pace and filled with much information that we would not have learned otherwise. On top of that, Mr. Umebayashi drove us back to our hotel at the conclusion of the hotel. 100% recommend!

The staff were friendly and naturally accepted our guidance, providing clear explanations of the visible sights, which was great. The mangrove canoeing was manageable at a speed suited to our fitness level, and we were able to reach the Piñaisara Falls without any issues. The waterfall had more water than I expected, making it quite impressive. Additionally, the diving at the base of the waterfall was a memorable part of the tour.

スタッフの案内も自然と受け入れるフレンドリーな方で、その都度見える物の解説も分かりやすく良かったです。マングローブカヌーも体力に応じたスピードで特に問題なくピナイサーラの滝まで行く事ができた。滝では思ってたより水が多く見応えがあった。また、滝壺ダイビングも思い出として印象に残るツアーでした。

The rain cleared up, and I went to Jomon Sugi under the long-awaited sunny weather. Along the way, the explanations from our guide, Yokota, were enjoyable, making the experience twice as fun. The next day, however, it rained again, and we couldn't go all the way, but we did manage to reach the Forest of Mononoke. The explanations from our guide, Shimozono, were also filled with various local information, which made it enjoyable. It was a good decision to stop early due to the rain.

雨も上がって、久しぶりの晴天の中に縄文杉まで行きました。途中、ガイドの横田さんの説明が楽しく、２倍楽しめた気がします。翌日は逆に雨が降ってしまい最後までいけませんでしたが、もののけの森までいけました。ガイドの下園さんの説明もいろいろな地元情報もあり楽しめました。雨で途中でやめる判断も早くて良かったです。
