All Reviews for SUP Tours

It was the morning of our departure day, but we were able to get a ride to the hotel. Since it was early, it wasn't too hot and I didn't have to worry much about sunburn. After returning to the hotel, I was able to take a bath and do laundry in the coin laundry while having breakfast, making good use of the time until check-out.

The seats in the shuttle were covered with vinyl sheets, so it was no problem to sit down wet. As long as I had drinks and a towel, it felt easy to participate.

Our guide, Hina, introduced us to various delicious recommended places during the ride, but since it was our departure day... I wish I could have gone if I had a few more days to stay. But now I have something to look forward to for my next visit to Ishigaki Island! I was able to drink the shake she recommended at the airport on the way back.

During the ride, I was able to hear a lot of stories, so it wasn't boring, and canoeing was fun. Canoeing in the morning felt refreshing and cleansing for the soul. The distance we paddled felt short, but even when there was a bit of waiting time for other groups to take photos, they encouraged us by saying we could go a little further and come back, so the waiting time wasn't boring. This was my first canoeing experience, and it seemed like my husband enjoyed this tour so much that he said he wanted to try a longer distance next time. I think I want to challenge myself with a longer lunch tour next time! Thank you very much!

帰る日の朝でしたが、ホテルまで送迎もしていただけ、朝早いので、暑くもなく日焼けの心配もほぼなく、ホテルに帰ってからも、お風呂に入って、朝食を食べてる間にコインランドリーで濡れた服も洗濯乾燥もできてチェックアウトまで時間を有効に使えました。
送迎車の座席は、ビニールシート敷いてくれてるので、ぬれたままでも問題なく、持ち物は、飲み物とタオルがあれば、気軽に参加できる感じでした。

ガイドのヒナさんが送迎中に、いろいろ美味しいオススメのお店とか紹介してくださったのですが、帰る日だったので…もう少し滞在日数があれば行ってみたかったです>⁠.⁠<
でも次回石垣島に来た時の楽しみができました〜(⁠^⁠^⁠)
おすすめしてもらったシェイクだけは帰りの空港で飲めました〜(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

送迎中も、いっぱいお話し聞けたので、退屈しないし、カヌーも楽しかったです。朝からのカヌーは、気持ちよく心が洗われる感じでした〜(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
漕ぐ距離的には短い気もしますが、他の組の写真撮影の時、少し待ち時間ができても、どこどこの辺りまで行って、戻ってきてもいいですよと、声もかけてもらえるので、少しの待ち時間も退屈なくすごせました。今回初めてのカヌー体験で、こちらのツアーが楽しかったみたいで、旦那は、もう少し長い距離もしてみたいと言ってました
次回は少し時間長めのお昼とかのツアーに挑戦してみたいと思います!!
ありがとうございました〜

It was my first SUP experience, and I was taught carefully from the beginning, making it a wonderful memory! The morning meeting time is early, but paddling while watching the sunrise is exceptional! I want to do it again!

初めのSUP体験でしたが、一から丁寧に教えていただきとっても素敵な思い出になりました！朝の集合時間は早いですが、日の出を見ながらのsupは別格です！またやりたいです！

It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and the guide's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand, which made me feel safe and enjoy it! I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea, experiencing something out of the ordinary. It was a highly satisfying activity. It became a wonderful memory! I definitely recommend it to beginners as well.

初めてのSUP体験でしたが
ガイドさんの説明がとても丁寧でわかりやすく
安心して楽しむことができました！
最初はちょっと緊張していたものの
すぐに慣れて、めちゃくちゃ綺麗な海で
非日常をたっぷり味わえて
大満足のアクティビティでした。
とても素敵な思い出になりました！
初心者の方にもぜひおすすめしたいです。

It was a wonderful experience to enjoy the beautiful sea while riding in a transparent kayak. The weather was great, and the clarity of the water was so high that I was moved by the sensation of floating above the sea. The guide was very kind and carefully showed us spots where many fish gather, allowing me to see several clownfish up close, which I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. Additionally, the footage captured by the drone was truly beautiful and became a special memory of the trip. I was very happy to receive the filming data, including photos, right away. The environment was set up for a safe and enjoyable experience, making it highly recommended for first-timers. I definitely want to use this service again!

透明なカヤックに乗って、美しい海を満喫できる素晴らしい体験でした。天気も良く、海の透明度が高くて、まるで海の上を浮いているような感覚に感動しました。ガイドの方がとても親切で、お魚がたくさん集まるスポットを丁寧に案内してくださり、自分ではなかなか見られないクマノミを何匹も近くで見ることができて感激しました。また、ドローンで撮影していただいた映像が本当に美しく、旅の特別な思い出になりました。写真も含め、撮影データをすぐに共有してもらえて、とても嬉しかったです。安心して楽しめる環境が整っていて、初めての方にもおすすめです。またぜひ利用したいと思います！

The mangrove SUP tour in Iriomote Island was a wonderful experience that allowed us to fully enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. The guide provided detailed explanations about the ecology of the mangroves and the flora and fauna, which deepened our knowledge. In particular, during the season when the Sagarihana flowers flow, we could enjoy a magical atmosphere.

Additionally, the photos taken during the tour were sent to us later as data, allowing us to preserve our memories. It was the perfect activity to refresh both body and mind in the great outdoors of Iriomote Island. Next time, I would like to try other activities such as waterfall trekking.

西表島のマングローブSUPツアーは、自然の美しさと静けさを存分に味わえる素晴らしい体験でした。ガイドの方がマングローブの生態や動植物について詳しく説明してくださり、知識も深まりました。特に、サガリバナの花が流れてくるシーズンには、幻想的な雰囲気を楽しめるとのことです。
また、ツアー中に撮影していただいた写真も後日データで送ってくださり、思い出を形に残すことができました。西表島の大自然の中で、心身ともにリフレッシュできる最高のアクティビティでした。次回は、滝トレッキングなど他のアクティビティにも挑戦してみたいと思います。

My first mangrove SUP experience was amazing! Paddling slowly on the calm water while moving through the mangroves felt so good. It was a moment where I could forget about everyday life and feel immersed in nature. The guide was very kind, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! I want to do it again!

初めてのマングローブSUP体験、最高でした！
静かな水面をゆっくり漕ぎながら、マングローブの中を進むのがとっても気持ちよかったです。自然の中に溶け込む感じがして、日常を忘れるひとときでした。ガイドさんもとても親切で、安心して楽しめました！またやりたい！

I highly recommend it. I was a bit anxious about whether I could stand up on the SUP for the first time, but they taught me gently and carefully, and I was able to stand up and paddle smoothly! It was great to paddle to the fish spot and see through the clear board. On top of that, they filmed us with a drone and edited it into a music video that we received on our way back. I was truly moved by this. The staff were all very attentive and went above and beyond, and I definitely want to go again when I visit Miyako Island.

ほんとにオススメです。初めてのSUPで立てるかなぁと不安でしたが、優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、スムーズに立てて漕ぐことができました!お魚スポットまで漕いでクリアボード越しに見れるのも良かったです。その上、ドローンで撮影してくれて、帰りに音楽つきの1本のPVのように編集してれたものを頂けます。これにはホントに感動しました。スタッフの皆さん丁寧で終始至れり尽くせりで、宮古島にきたら必ずもう一度行きたいです。

Our tour consisted of four people: two in a canoe and two on a SUP. The weather was cloudy and pleasantly cool.

The hotel pick-up was smooth, but once we arrived at the spot, we found water inside the canoe and had to wait for a replacement. As a result, the tour started about 30-40 minutes late, but we moved from the sea to the river on the canoe/SUP, got off to walk and explore up to the waterfall, and despite getting soaked in the rain along the way, it turned out to be a wilder experience than we expected, lasting just over two hours.

私たち(2人)はカヌー、もう2名はSUPの4名でのツアーでした。天気は曇り、涼しいくらいの気温。

ホテルの送迎はスムーズでしたが、スポットに移動したらカヌーの中に水が入っており、交換を待たなければいけないアクシデントが。そのためツアー時間が30-40分ほど後ろ倒しになりましたが、海→川をカヌー/SUPで移動し、一度降りてその先の滝まで歩いて探検と、途中雨も降ってずぶ濡れになりながら思っていたよりはワイルドな2時間強となりました。

I thoroughly enjoyed canoeing and experiencing nature in the mangrove environment of Iriomote Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site! The guide was consistently friendly and helpful from the pick-up to the end of the tour. It’s a valuable experience, so if you’re unsure, I think you should definitely participate!

世界自然遺産である西表島のマングローブの自然環境の中でカヌーと自然体験を満喫出来ました！
ガイドさんは送迎からツアー終了まで一貫してフレンドリーで親切に対応して頂けました。
貴重な体験になるので、もし迷ったら参加してみたら良いと思います。

Although the weather was unfortunate due to the rainy season, I had an incredibly fun time. If it had been sunny, it might have been tough with the heat. As I mentioned at the beginning, despite the bad weather, I think it was a very good experience. There was no problem seeing the mangroves even in the rain. It was also a great experience that the guide took us on a route that was not usually accessible, possibly because the tour coincided with high tide. It was my first time doing SUP, and the guide's explanations were excellent, allowing both my spouse and me to enjoy it until the very end!

梅雨の時期のため、生憎の天気でしたがめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。晴れてたら日差しで逆にしんどかったかもしれませんね。
冒頭にも書きましたが天気が良くなかった中ですが、非常にいい経験が出来たと思います。マングローブ見るには雨でも全然問題無しでした。ツアーの時間が満潮の時もあってか、ガイドさんがあまり行けないコースを案内してもらえたのもとてもいい経験となりました。初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドさんの説明も上手で夫婦共々最後まで楽しめました！

As a foreigner, I was a bit worried because none of my friends understood Japanese, but since they were able to accommodate us in English, everyone was able to participate without any issues. The sea breeze was strong, but it was a lot of fun paddling in a place where the waves were very calm.

外国人で、仲間みんな日本語がわからなくて少し心配でしたが、英語の対応が可能なのでみんな無事に参加できました。海風が強いですが、波が非常に穏やかなところで漕いで楽しかった。

I wasn't very comfortable with the ocean, but the guide was incredibly kind and attentive, providing guidance, lectures, and support, which allowed me to have a wonderfully enjoyable day.

During snorkeling, it seemed to be a sea snake day, and I saw about five swimming around. The photos were taken by the guide. The bleached coral was quite noticeable, but I've heard it's slowly starting to recover.

In the mangrove forest, I felt lucky to receive a deep and insightful lecture from the guide, who is actively involved in nature conservation. On the way back, we were able to use a shower, which was very comfortable.

They prioritized our safety, so I felt at ease and plan to come back next year. Thank you very much.

　海が苦手でしたがガイドの方がとても親切丁寧に案内・レクチャー・フォローをしてくださったので一日最高に楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
　シュノーケリングでは海蛇dayだったようで5匹くらい泳いでいるところを見ました。写真はガイドの方が撮ってくださったものです。白骨化した珊瑚が目立ちましたが少しずつ息を吹き返しているそうです。
　マングローブの森ではガイドの方が自然保護を率先してくださっているんだなと感じ取れる深みのあるレクチャーを受けられてラッキーでした。帰りはシャワーも使うことができ快適でした。
　私達の安全を重視してくださったので不安もなくまた来年もお世話になろうと思います。ありがとうございました。

It was an incredibly fun tour!! The canoeing was also a blast, and the guides were very cheerful throughout the tour! I would love to do it again next time!!

最高に楽しいツアーでした！！
カヌーも最高に楽しく、ガイドさん達もとても明るくツアーをしていただけました！
また次回もお願いします！！

It was my first time, but I was able to paddle a canoe thanks to the explanation provided. I think I was slow and not very stable, but they gave me advice with a smile. They also let me get off the canoe and enjoy myself along the way. Thank you very much.

初めでしたが、説明をしていただきカヌーを漕ぐことができました。でも安定せず、漕ぐのが遅かったと思いますが、笑顔でアドバイスもしてくださいました。途中でカヌーを降りて楽しませてくれました。ありがとうございました。

I initially wanted to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but since the weather looked bad, I switched to mangrove SUP. At first, I wasn't making any progress at all, but gradually I started to move forward, and the scenery of the surrounding mangroves was wonderful. I participated alone, but it was very enjoyable. Thank you to the guides, Ryu and Hiroki!

当初川平湾でSUPをしたいと考えていましたが、天気が悪そうだったので、マングローブSUPに変更しました。最初は全然前に進みませんでしたが、少しずつ進むようになり、周りのマングローブの景色も素晴らしかったです。一人での参加でしたが、とても楽しかったです。ガイドのりゅうさん、ひろきさん、ありがとうございました！

I had a great time. It was my first experience with SAP, and I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but the staff kindly taught me, and I was able to stand, which made me very satisfied. I was also grateful for all the photos they took.

楽しい時間を過ごせました。SAPは初めてでボードに立てることができるのか心配でしたが、スタッフの方が親切に教えていただき何とか立つ事ができ満足です。写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがたかったです。

In the evening, the tide is high and the waves are quite rough, but you can get some really beautiful photos. I think it's wonderful to go with someone else because you can create various options.

夕方は満ちていて波があれまくりですが
写真めちゃ素敵に撮ってもらえます
2人で行くといろんなバリエーションできて素敵だとおもわれます

I went on the morning course, and it was great. The sea was perfectly calm and shallow for as far as the eye could see. We moved to a nearby island with SAP, and you can feed the fish. You can take a lot of photos, but I hope the weather is nice. Also, there were fewer fish than expected.

朝のコースに行きましたが
正解
海は最高に凪いでいてどこまでも遠浅です
SAPで近くの島まで移動して
お魚に餌をやれます
沢山写真を撮っていただけますが
天気が良いといいなと思いました
あとはお魚は少なめです

It was my first experience with canoeing, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment as the guides were very kind and attentive, running alongside us and leading the way. I participated alone, but I was warmly supported, for which I am grateful. The bus driver was also friendly, providing guidance along the way and addressing each family by name. It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much! ♪

カヌー初体験でしたがとても親切丁寧に並走したり導いてくださったりでやり遂げ感がありとても有意義な時を過ごせました。1人参加でしたが温かく見守ってくださり感謝です。バス送迎の方も親切で途中の道々のガイドをしながらファミリーごとの名前で話しかけてくださったりとてもよいツアーでした。ありがとうございました♪

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunrise due to the cloudy weather, but we were guided through the mangroves. The instructor's stories were interesting, and we had a great time.

あいにくの曇天で朝日を見ることは出来なかったですが、マングローブを案内していただきました。
インストラクターの方のお話も面白く楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

私と妻はとても楽しい時間を過ごしました！天気は曇りでしたが、ガイドの太郎さんが私たちのアクティビティを完璧にしてくれました。またいつかやりたいです。

今のところ、ここに来て正解でした。

I and my wife could have a lot of fun! Even though the weather was cloudy, our guide(Taro) make our activity perfect. I want to do it again someday.

So far, it was perfect choice to come to here.

I participated in a canoe tour at Kawahira Bay, which received three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The weather was perfect, and I thoroughly enjoyed the emerald green sea and nature! I was also able to see the power spot, Heart Rock, and I made wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island. The guide, Hiro-san, shared many fun stories and recommended several great places to visit on Ishigaki Island. Next time, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding! Thank you!

ミシュラングリーンガイドで三ツ星を獲得した川平湾のカヌーツアーに参加しました。お天気にも恵まれて、エメラルドグリーンの海と自然を満喫しました！
パワースポットのハート岩も見る事ができて、石垣島で最高の思い出ができました〜
ガイドのHiro-sanのお話も楽しく、石垣島のオススメのお店もたくさん教えていただきました。
次回はSUP体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Kayak Tour at Kabira Bay that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the clear waters of Kabira Bay, but I was able to enjoy the tropical trees and coral rocks along the shore! The guide, Hiro, shared some fun anecdotes, and the water play time along the way was also enjoyable.

午後出発の川平湾カヌーツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの曇り空で、川平湾の透き通った水面を見ることはできませんでしたが、岸辺の南国の木々や珊瑚の岩を楽しむことができました！
ガイドのひろさんの小ネタや途中の水遊びタイムも楽しかったです。

I was hoping to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to the weather, we ended up canoeing. Canoeing was easy enough for elementary school students to paddle, so both adults and children could enjoy it. I was satisfied that we could go to an area behind Kabira Bay that is usually inaccessible. The guide was friendly and it was really great.

川平湾SUPを希望していましたが、
天候の影響でカヌーになりました。
カヌーは小学生でも簡単にパドルを操作できるので大人も子供も楽しむことができました。川平湾の裏側という通常では行けないエリアにも行くことができて満足です。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでとても良かったです。

Snorkeling in the beautiful Miyako Blue sea was so much fun. The guide was very attentive and taught us well. We were able to see sea turtles and clownfish! The canoeing was combined with SUP, so the guide seemed to have a bit of a tough time.

宮古ブルーの海でシュノーケリング、とっても楽しかったです。ガイドの方も丁寧に教えていただきました。ウミガメ、カクレクマノミなども見ることができました！カヌーはSUPとの合同だったので、ガイドの方が少し大変そうでしたね。

The guide was full of energy, and we had a great time participating. Not only did we learn about canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island, but the recommendations for the town were also interesting, and I took notes on everything, haha.

As a couple who went canoeing for the second time, we were a bit flustered, but with the encouragement of the guide, we were able to fully enjoy canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island.

Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

ガイドさんが元気いっぱいで、とっても楽しく参加させていただきました。カヌーや石垣島の自然の話しだけでなく、町のオススメなども面白く、全てメモしました笑

カヌー2回目の夫婦なので、あたふたしながらも、ガイドさんに励まされながら、カヌーと石垣島の自然を満喫できました

たくさんの写真もありがとうございました

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, absolutely the best! Our guide, Hina, was amazing too!! It was my first time canoeing and I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy canoeing with peace of mind thanks to Hina's careful support and thoughtfulness.

Paddling through the calm river, I felt relaxed yet put in a lot of effort while canoeing. The sunset over the mangroves at Ishigaki was a breathtaking view that can only be seen here.

I really wanted to experience the mangrove canoeing, so I made a last-minute reservation for a ride and joined in the afternoon. During the ride, Hina shared a lot of information about Ishigaki, and I was able to chat and exchange information with the other participants.

It was so much fun! I'm really glad I could participate!

とってもきれいな夕やけサイコー！
ガイドのヒナさんサイコー！！
初めてのカヌー&1人参加でしたが、安心してカヌーを楽しめました〜。ヒナさんの丁寧なフォローと心配りに感謝、、です。
穏やかな川の流れのなかを、気分はゆったりでもけっこう一生懸命カヌーを漕いで笑、たどり着いた石垣の夕やけonマングローブはここでしか見ることのできない絶景です。
マングローブカヌーをどうしても体験してみたくて、当日お昼過ぎに急遽申し込み送迎付きでの参加。送迎車中でもヒナさんからたくさんの石垣情報をいただき参加者の皆さんともお話ししたり情報交換したり。
たのしかった〜！参加できてよかった〜！

It was my first experience with canoeing! At first, I couldn't paddle well, but I gradually got the hang of it.

Next, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)!

初めてのカヌー体験でした！
はじめは上手く進みませんでしたが、徐々に慣れてきました。

次はSUPに挑戦してみたいと思います！

I participated in SUP! I was very satisfied to experience the great outdoors!

A guide named Matsuko was in charge, and it was fun to hear a lot about Iriomote Island during the trip!

SUPで参加しました！
大自然を体感できてとても満足です！

まつ子さんという方がガイドを担当くださりましたが、移動中もたくさん西表島の話を聞けて楽しかったです！

It was my first time doing SUP, and the guide was very attentive, making it a lot of fun. I will definitely use this service again when I go to Iriomote. They also took many photos, which became great memories.

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドの方の案内も丁寧ですごく楽しかったです。また西表に行った際は必ず利用します。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり思い出になりました。
