All Reviews for SUP Tours

My girlfriend and I traveled to Miyako Island.
On the second day, we decided to enjoy marine activities!
In the morning, we went snorkeling at Shinjo Beach to see her long-awaited sea turtles. The weather was perfect, and as we swam with our guide in the crystal-clear waters, we spotted a sea turtle in just a few minutes! Our guide took many photos with a GoPro. Luckily, we were able to see about three sea turtles at the same time! After that, we were introduced to the cute fish living in the coral reefs, which made us very satisfied.
In the afternoon, we moved to Ingyamarine Beach and experienced SUP for the first time in our lives! The feeling of being rocked by the waves and feeling the wind was amazing, and the time spent swaying on the board was the best. I would love to try yoga someday as well!
At one point, I was worried about the approaching typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to fully enjoy the marine activities. I am truly grateful to our very kind guide.

彼女と2人で宮古島旅行へ。
2日目にマリンアクティビティを楽しむことに！
午前中は彼女の念願のウミガメを見るべく、新城海岸でシュノーケリングへ。天気にも恵まれ透明感抜群の海のなかガイドさんについて泳いでいると、ものの数分でウミガメを発見！ガイドさんのgo proで沢山写真を撮影していただきました。ラッキーなことに3匹くらい同時にウミガメをみることができました♪その後もサンゴ礁に生息する可愛いお魚さんたちを紹介していただき大満足でした。
午後はインギャーマリンビーチに場所を変更して人生初のSUPを体験しました！波にゆられて風を感じる気持ちよさは抜群で、ボードの上でゆらゆらとゆれている時間は最高でした。またいつかヨガに挑戦してみたいと思います！
台風の接近で一時はどうなるかと思いましたが、運良くマリンアクティビティを満喫することができました。とても親切なガイドさんに心から感謝です。

This time, I enjoyed a day course of sea turtle snorkeling and SUP with my female friend.

We gathered at the Ingyā parking lot at 10:30 and started with the SUP experience. After receiving an explanation in the parking lot, we headed to the beach wearing swimsuits, rash guards, and marine shoes if we had them, keeping our belongings light with just drinks. I forgot my sunglasses and hat in the car, and I mentioned to my friend that I should have brought them. Since I didn't have marine shoes, I borrowed a pair, and the staff member in charge said he would take photos with a GoPro, so I didn't bring my iPhone!

There were some waves, possibly due to a typhoon approaching the Philippines, but the beach was relatively empty, and I felt we could enjoy ourselves at our own pace.

The SUP experience ended around noon. We took a break for lunch, and my friend and I went to a nearby Marukichi Shokudō, where we waited for about 30 minutes. However, the turnover was surprisingly quick! By the time we finished eating before 2 PM, they had sold out of the popular No. 1 dish, sōki soba, so I was really glad we got to try it.

We gathered again at 2:30 for the sea turtle snorkeling experience. Originally, we were supposed to meet at Shinjo Beach, but due to the waves that day, we met at Shigira Beach instead. The parking was a paid lot costing 1,000 yen. (I mistakenly thought there might be a free parking lot, so I got a bit lost and had to contact the staff member for help.)

That day, it was difficult to encounter sea turtles due to the waves, but at the very end, a sea turtle appeared! I was so moved to see a sea turtle for the first time. (Some others in the same group were unable to see any sea turtles.) We were in the water for over an hour, but it felt surprisingly short, and I had a really enjoyable time.

We probably dispersed around 4 PM, but the next day, I received photos and videos taken with the GoPro from the staff member!

Overall, it was a perfect day, scoring 100 out of 100!!! Thank you very much!!!

今回は、ウミガメシュノーケリング＋SUPの1日コースで女友達と一緒に楽しみました

10時半にインギャー駐車場集合、まずはSUP体験をしました。
駐車場で説明を受け、水着やラッシュガード、マリンシューズがある人は履き、手荷物も飲み物くらいで身軽な状態でビーチへ向かいました。サングラスや帽子を車に忘れてしまったので、持ってくれば良かったねと友達と話していました
私はマリンシューズを持っていなかったので貸してもらい、写真撮影も担当のお兄さんがGoProで撮ったものを下さるとのことだったので自分のiPhoneは持って行きませんでした！

台風がフィリピンに近づいてることもあり？少し波がありましたがビーチの利用客は比較的少なく、マイペースに楽しむことが出来たと感じました☺️

SUP体験は12時頃に終わりました。
各自自由のお昼ご飯休憩を挟みました。
私は友達と近くの丸吉食堂に行きましたが、30分ほど待ったかな、、でも回転率は思いの外早かったです！私達が14時前に食べ終わった頃には売り切れになっていたので、人気No.1のソーキそば
を食べることが出来て本当に良かったです

14時半ウミガメシュノーケリング体験の為集合。
本来は新城海岸集合予定だったそうですが、この日は波の関係でシギラビーチ集合でした。
駐車場は1000円かかる有料駐車場でした。
（勝手に無料駐車場があるのかなと思っていたので、少し道に迷ってしまい担当のお兄さんに連絡して解決しました✨）

この日は波もあったのでなかなかウミガメに出会うことが難しい日でしたが、最後の最後に現れてくれたウミガメがおり✨
初めてウミガメに会った私はとっても感動しました
（同じチームでまわっていた他の方の中にはウミガメに会うことができない方もいました）
1時間以上海の中にいたそうですが、そんなに長くいたのかと驚くくらい短く感じ、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました

恐らく16時頃に解散しましたが、翌日には担当のお兄さんからGoProで撮影した写真や動画をいただきました！

全体を通して、100点満点の1日となりました！！！ありがとうございました！！！

Due to the weather, we switched to a mangrove kayak tour.
We participated as a family of four.
It was our first experience, but the scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and the kayaking was enjoyable; we felt rejuvenated by nature.
Our guide taught us various things, and we found different creatures while spending a relaxing time, creating wonderful memories.
If we come to Ishigaki Island again, we would like to request this tour once more.

天候の関係で、マングローブカヤックツアーに、変更になりました。
　家族４人で参加しました。
初めての体験でしたが、想像以上に、景色は素晴らしく、カヤック体験も楽しかったですし、大自然に
癒されました。
　ガイドの方に、色々な事を教えて頂き、生き物をみつけたり、ゆったりとした時間を過ごして、
良い思い出になりました。
　また、石垣島にきたら、お願いしたいと思います。

I participated in the Kayaking Tour at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. Kabira Bay was very clear and calm, a place where I could find peace of mind. The snorkeling was also amazing. I often snorkel abroad, but I was surprised by the beauty of Kabira Bay! The corals are so colorful! I want to go again!

川平湾カヌーツアー＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。川平湾はとても透明でおだやかで、心もおだやかになれる場所でした。シュノーケリングも最高でした。海外でよくシュノーケルをしますが、川平湾の美しさに驚きました！サンゴってあんなにカラフルなんですね。また行きたいと思いました！

Thanks to the very attentive guidance from staff member Nakamura, I was able to see sea turtles safely! To take beautiful photos with the turtles, it's important to avoid stirring up the sand on the ocean floor. I was thoroughly instructed on these precautions in advance, which helped me capture the best photos. In addition to the sea turtles, I also got to see clownfish and coral, creating wonderful memories. Thank you for providing such great experiences!

スタッフの中村さんが大変丁寧にガイドしてくださったおかげで、無事に海亀を見ることができました！亀との綺麗な写真を撮るためには、海底の砂が舞い上がらないようにしなければなりません。こういった注意事項も事前に入念に指導してくださったので、お陰様で最高の写真になりました。また、海亀以外にもクマノミやサンゴも見せていただき、良い思い出になりました良い思い出をご提供してくださり、この度はありがとうございました！

The forecast definitely predicted rain. While moving from Lake Toya to Lake Shikotsu, the weather was a mix of rain and clear skies.

I arrived a little before the meeting time, so I took a stroll near the lake, but due to strong winds, activities like sightseeing boats and other lake leisure were canceled. I wondered if we could do clear SUP in that situation.

We ended up experiencing the Chitose River section, and although it was windy and looked cold, they lent us wetsuits and guided us enjoyably even in the cloudy weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the Chitose River. Finally, we crossed the red iron bridge and dipped a little into Lake Shikotsu.

The waves were high, so it was just a brief experience, but we couldn't fight the weather, and safety comes first, so it couldn't be helped. Just before we finished, the rain that had been holding back finally poured down heavily. We ended by jumping into the Chitose River and walked back to the shop while enjoying a rain shower. Experiencing Lake Shikotsu in the rain was also a great experience.

I would love to come back when the weather is beautifully clear.

予報では確実に雨。洞爺湖から支笏湖への移動中も降ったり止んだりの天気でした。
集合時間より少し前に到着したので、湖の近くまで散策すると、強い風のため遊覧船、ボートなどの湖面レジャーは中止に、、、
クリアSUPやれるのか？という状況でした。
千歳川部分での体験となりましたが、風が強く寒そうなのでウエットスーツを貸してもらったり曇りのなかでも楽しく案内していただき、千歳川を満喫。最後に赤鉄橋を越えて、ちょっとだけ支笏湖に入りました。
波が高かったので、ちょっとだけ体験でしたが、天気には逆らえず、安全第一なのでしゃぁない。
終了間際に、今まで我慢していた雨がこらえきれずにどしゃ降りに。最後に千歳川にドボンして、雨シャワーを浴びながらショップまで歩きました。雨の支笏湖もいい体験。
また、きれいに晴れているときに来たいです。

We participated as a family of four with our 5-year-old and 7-year-old children. We gathered at Shinjo Beach for snorkeling at 8:30 and were able to park in the free parking lot without any issues, then joined the tour. They provided a floatation device that allowed our 5-year-old, who isn't a strong swimmer, to safely enjoy looking at the sea, which made it a lot of fun. We were able to see sea turtles and colorful fish, making the time fly by. We disbanded briefly before 10:30 to grab a bite to eat.

For the canoe and SUP experience, we gathered at Ingyamarine Garden at 12:00, and our family split up to try both activities. It was our first time on a SUP, but my husband and our 7-year-old quickly got the hang of standing and paddling. The location was fantastic, and we saw pink corals and rock crabs. An hour passed in no time, and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mr. Nakamura, who guided us, provided clear and polite explanations and was great at encouraging everyone! Thank you for a wonderful time for our family! We would love to join the same tour again in a few years.

　4人家族、5歳と7歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました。シュノーケルは8:30に新城海岸集合で無事無料駐車場に駐車でき、ツアーに参加。泳ぎが苦手な5歳の子供でも海が覗ける浮き輪を貸していただけたので、とても楽しめました。ウミガメも見られたし、カラフルな魚も夢中で見つけられたので、時間が過ぎるのがあっという間でした。10:30前に一度解散し腹ごしらえへ。
　カヌーとSUP体験はインギャーマリンガーデンに12:00集合し、家族で分かれてどちらも体験しました。初SUPだったのですが、夫も7歳の子どもも立って漕ぎ出すのに全く時間はかかりませんでした。もちろんロケーションも最高で、ピンクの珊瑚や岩ガニなどもみられました。一時間があっという間に過ぎて家族全員満喫することができました。
　教えてくださった中村さんはわかりやすく、丁寧な説明で、なおかつ褒め上手！家族みんなに楽しい時間をありがとうございました！また数年後にぜひ同じツアーに参加したいです。

Snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning.
In the afternoon, we did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding.
It was a full-day course, and it ended so quickly because we had so much fun.
Our guide was Gakki.
Her powerful guidance was at just the right pace—not too fast and not too slow!
Thanks to her, we talked about so many things throughout the day about the ocean and the mangroves, making it an incredibly enjoyable day!
I made great memories on my first visit to Iriomote Island!

朝からバラス島シュノーケリング。
お昼からはマングローブsup。
一日コースでしたが楽しくあっという間に終わりました。
案内してくれたのはガッキーさん。
パワフルな彼女の案内ははやすぎず暇すぎず丁度良いスピードでした！
お陰様で海もマングローブも色んな事を終始お話ししてもらえてめっちゃくちゃ楽しい１日でした！
初めての西表島にいい思い出ができました！

I signed up for snorkeling, and the visibility was even better than I expected; the time flew by! I was able to see sea turtles, and the staff took photos and sent them to me, so I was satisfied to have those memories captured. When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to sign up again!

シュノーケルを楽しみに申し込みましたが予想以上に透明度がすごく、あっという間の時間でした！ウミガメも見れたし、スタッフの方が写真撮って送ってくれたので思い出を写真で残すことができて満足！石垣島にもう一度くる時はまた申し込みたいなと思います！

I had a great time. After the start, I forgot to bring my paddle and had to wait for someone to bring it to me, but I think it was good that they extended the time because of that. There were many small children participating, so I felt it was difficult for one instructor to pay attention to everyone. I think it's better for parents to stay close to their children during the activity. The weather was nice, and it hardly rained, so overall, I was able to enjoy myself.

楽しかったです。開始後にパドルを持ってくるのをわすれて持ってきてもらう時間があり、少し待つことになりましたが、その分延長していただくことができたので良かったかと思います。小さいお子さんが多く参加していたので、全員に注意がいかずインストラクター1人での対応は難しいのではと思いました。子どもと参加される方は親がきちんとついてあげる方がいいと思います。天気も良く、雨はほとんど降らなかったので全体的には楽しむことが出来ました。

We participated in a one-day tour as a family of four. In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Ingyamarine Garden, and in the afternoon, we moved to Shinjo Coast for snorkeling. We intended to do both SUP and kayaking, but there was a miscommunication (even during our correspondence with VELTRA and when confirming with the shop the day before...), so we ended up doing only SUP. I was a bit worried since we have small children, but the waves were calm in the bay, so they were able to ride on the parents' SUP and join in. The older child got close to the guide, who pulled them along at speed on the SUP, and they also learned how to dive for snorkeling, which they really enjoyed. We were satisfied to see turtles and clownfish as well. In addition to commemorative photos at the points, we could also ask for pictures during our free time.

1日ツアーに家族4人で参加しました。午前はインギャーマリンガーデンでSUP、午後は新城海岸に移動してシュノーケルをしました。SUPとカヤックのつもりでしたが、うまく伝わっておらず（VELTRAさんとのやりとり＆前日確認時にもショップさんと会話したのですが。。。)全部SUPになりました。小さい子供がいるので大丈夫かなと思いましたが、湾内で波も穏やかだったので親のSUPに乗って一緒に出来ました。上の子はガイドさんに懐いて、SUPをスピード出して引っ張ってもらったり、シュノーケルも潜り方教えてもらったりですごい楽しんでいました。カメやニモも見れて満足でした。ポイントでの記念撮影の他、自由時間に声をかけると写真も撮ってもらえました。

I participated in a one-day tour. There were about 10 participants in 4 to 5 groups for one guide. In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding at Ingyamarine Garden, and in the afternoon, we went snorkeling at Shinjo Coast. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to enter the sea from the parking lot and receive a briefing, and the tour lasted about 40 minutes. After the tour, we took group photos and then dispersed at the parking lot.

As for important notes:
- Each participant needs to travel to the meeting point by rental car, and we will receive information about the meeting point the day before.
- Lunch is also on your own, but many shops are still closed even though the morning tour ends around 10:30.
- At Shinjo Coast, the parking lot was full, which took time to enter, and there was also a parking fee of 1,000 yen.

1日ツアーに参加しました。ガイドさん1人に対して、参加者は4～5組の10人位でした。午前はインギャーマリンガーデンでSUP、午後は新城海岸でシュノーケルをしました。いずれも駐車場から海にエントリーおよび事前説明に15～20分、ツアーが40分位、ツアー後にグループごとに写真撮影し、駐車場で解散でした。
注意事項として、
・集合場所へは各自レンタカーで移動で、前日に集合場所の連絡もらいます。
・お昼も各自で取るのですが、午前のツアーが10:30頃に終わるもののお店がまだ開店していないところも多いです。
・新城海岸は駐車場がいっぱいで入るまで時間がかかったのとともに駐車場料金も1000円必要でした。

I participated in the SUP tour and sea turtle snorkeling! I was supposed to receive a call the day before, but there was no contact by 5 PM, so I reached out myself. The staff at the reception seemed unaware of my reservation, which made me quite anxious. They said they would get back to me, but I ended up receiving a call at 7 PM. I wish they had informed me if it was going to take that long.

As for the activities, the SUP tour in the morning was my first experience, and I was worried about whether I could stand up, but in the end, I managed to do it and had a lot of fun. There was a staff member at the back who provided helpful advice on how to paddle, which was very clear and easy to understand.

During snorkeling, it was low tide, so the coral reefs were very close, and I was able to see colorful fish, which was truly moving. I even encountered a sea turtle, and I was very satisfied. Although I was anxious about the communication issue, the activities themselves were fantastic!

SUPツアーとウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました！！
前日に連絡が来るはずが17時になっても連絡がなく、こちらから連絡をしましたが、受付の方が予約を把握していないのか色々と不安になりました。折り返しの連絡をくれるということでしたが、結局連絡がきたのが19時でこんな時間になるなら一言言って欲しかったです。

肝心のアクティビティですが、
午前中はSUPツアーで、初めてのSUPなので乗れるか心配でしたが最終的には立つこともできとても楽しかったです。
後方にもスタッフさんが付き、乗り方のアドバイス等も丁寧に教えてくださり分かりやすかったです。
シュノーケリングは、ちょうど干潮だったのでサンゴ礁がとても近く色とりどりの魚も見れて、とても感動しました。ウミガメとも遭遇できて大満足でした。
連絡の件で不安になりましたが、アクティビティ自体は最高でした♪

I experienced SUP and snorkeling. It was my first time doing SUP, but the staff were kind and taught me carefully, so I was able to do it well right away! The scenery at Ingyamarine Garden was also wonderful, allowing me to experience the essence of Okinawa.

I did snorkeling at Shinjo Beach, and I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles! I thought it would be lucky if I saw one, so I was extremely excited! The staff also explained how to do it carefully at the beginning, so I think beginners can participate with confidence.

Overall, it was a very satisfying day. Thank you!

SUPとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
SUPは初めてでしたがスタッフの方が優しく丁寧に教えてくださり、すぐに上手くできるようになりました！
インギャーマリンガーデンの景色も素晴らしく沖縄らしさを体験することができました。
シュノーケリングは新城海岸で行いましたが、なんとウミガメは４匹も出会うことができました！会えたらラッキーぐらいに考えていたのでテンション上がりまくりです！
こちらも最初に丁寧にやり方を教えてくださるので初心者の方も安心して参加できると思います。
とにかく大満足な一日でした、ありがとうございました！

Since it was right in the middle of Obon, all the local tours were fully booked and I was feeling down about not being able to make a reservation, but then I discovered this tour!! Although there are conditions for credit card payment, I can't express how grateful I am to have been able to make a last-minute reservation.

They provide everything you need, so all you have to do is head out!! The SUP experience, the Blue Cave, snorkeling, and the guide was efficient and amazing!!! I was also happy that they took photos for us and we received the data on the way back.

One thing that concerned me was that we were dropped off at Kabira Bay at 11:30 after the morning SUP, and the next meeting was at 13:45. Since it was a local meeting point and I had left my phone in the car, I had a bit of extra time on my hands. If they had informed us about this in the morning... I recommend that those on the full-day course bring some filming equipment for the break at Kabira Bay. If it weren't for this, I would have given it a ★5. It's important to do your research.

Thank you for the fun and valuable experience. The guide, Mr. Kimura, was the best!!

お盆ど真ん中だったので現地払いのツアーはどこも満員で予約が取れずに意気消沈してたところ、このツアーを発見！！クレカ払いの条件はつきますが直前で予約が出来た有り難さは計り知れないです。

全て貸し出してくれるのであとは向かうだけ！！SUP体験、青の洞窟、シュノーケル、ガイドさんがテキパキしていて最高でした！！！
写真も撮ってもらえて、帰りにデータを頂けるのが嬉しかったところです。
ひとつ気になったのが午前のSUP終わり11:30に川平湾で降ろされ、次の集合が13:45だったところですね^^;現地集合で携帯も車に置いてきてしまっていたので少し時間を持て余しました。朝の段階で伝えてもらえてれば、、1日コースの方は川平湾の休憩時に備えて何か撮影機材持っておくことオススメします。これさえなければ★5にしたのにってところです。下調べは大事ですね。

楽しい体験、貴重な体験をありがとうございました。ガイドしてもらった木村さん最高〜！！

We went to experience stand-up paddleboarding with three girls! When one of us was feeling unwell, they kindly waited for us and even gave us medicine, which was such a thoughtful gesture.

The explanation for paddleboarding was very easy to understand, and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to the clear instructions, we were able to stand up and paddle right away! We also practiced avoiding dangers, which made us feel safe while learning. ☺︎

We got to see beautiful fish that are friends of Nemo! It seems that these fish can only be seen under certain conditions, so we were really happy to spot them!

While we were paddleboarding, they took lots of photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

女子３人でサップを体験しに行きました！
体調不良の子がいた時に、待ってくださったりお薬をくれたりと神対応をしていただきました

サップの説明もとても分かりやすく、楽しくできました。的確な説明のおかげですぐに立って漕ぐことができました！危険回避の練習もできて安心して練習できました☺︎

ニモの仲間の色が綺麗なお魚も見れました！
条件が揃わないと見れないお魚らしく嬉しかったです！

サップをしている時も写真をぱしゃぱしゃ撮ってくださり、素敵な思い出になりました！

The staff were very kind, and I enjoyed both the canoeing in the mangroves and the snorkeling at Balas Island. It was also a stroke of luck to see sea turtles in the coral reef. I didn't expect to get seasick while floating alone during snorkeling, though.

スタッフの方が非常に親切で、マングローブでのカヌー、バラス島のシュノーケリングいずれも楽しませでいただきました。珊瑚礁で海亀が見られたことも幸運でした。1人シュノーケリングで浮かんでいると、波酔いになってしまったのは想定外でしたが

My third-grade daughter was a bit anxious about trying canoeing and snorkeling for the first time, but she said that snorkeling near the Blue Cave was the most fun. She was excited about the scenery with the corals and fish underwater. We received many wonderful photos, which made us happy. Thank you very much. We had a great day.

小学3年生の娘は、初めてのカヌーとシュノーケルで大丈夫かなぁと不安はありましたが、青の洞窟近くのシュノーケルが一番楽しかったとのことでした。海の中のサンゴやお魚たちのいる景色に興奮気味でした。素敵な写真もたくさんいただき、嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。楽しい一日を過ごせました。

It was a fun time because the staff understood the content. I didn't expect that the experience on the remote island would be so enjoyable and filled with smiles, so I am very grateful. They were also knowledgeable about photo spots and responded very quickly. Thank you for everything!

スタッフさんがコンテンツを理解してるから楽しめる時間でした。離島での体験がこれほど楽しく笑顔で溢れる時間になるとは思っていなかったので、ありがたいことです。写真もフォトスポットをご存知で、とても迅速にご対応いただきました。何から何までありがとうございました！

Since this was my first trip to Okinawa, I wanted to have various experiences, so I chose this snorkeling & SUP tour. I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since it was my first time, but the tour guide explained everything thoroughly and communicated the safety precautions clearly. It was so much fun to dive into the sea with such a bright and wonderful guide! Although we didn't bring our phones into the water, the guide took many photos with an underwater camera. She captured lots of pictures of sea turtles and clownfish, and the quality was excellent.

In the afternoon, we had a great time experiencing SUP on the crystal-clear sea. Many of the other tour members were couples or families, but the guide also provided a reassuring experience for children. It was a fantastic experience! Thank you very much!

はじめての沖縄旅行という事で、色んな体験をしたいと思い、このシュノーケリング&supツアーを選びました。シュノーケリング自体もはじめてやるため、上手くできるか不安でしたが、ツアーのお姉さんが丁寧に説明してくださり、海での注意事項もわかりやすく伝えてくれました。とても明るい素敵なお姉さんと一緒に海に潜れてとても楽しかったです！そして私たちは携帯を持って入水しませんでしたが、お姉さんが水中カメラでたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。ウミガメやニモの写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、とても画質が良かったです。
午後のsupでもとても透き通った海の上で体験することができ、とても楽しかったです。他のツアーメンバーもカップルや夫婦が多かったですが、お子さんにも安心した対応をしていました。とても良い経験になりました！ありがとうございました！

We participated in a sup and snorkeling day tour for two! The date we joined was during a big tide, so the meeting time was at 8:30 AM, and we finished around noon. However, the total experience time was the same as a full day. There were two groups (three people) for the sup, with one guide who provided thorough instructions and took photos for us. After practicing in a cove, we went a little further out. It was my first time, but I had a lot of fun.

For snorkeling, we changed locations (since we didn't have a car, we requested a pick-up when booking), and the guide changed as well (there were various groupings within the same tour). We were taken to different spots with two groups (five people), and I was thrilled to see coral, clownfish, and two sea turtles! The guides communicated with each other and shared information about turtle sightings. They also provided helpful recommendations for the surrounding area. I accidentally forgot sunscreen, and my back got really sunburned while snorkeling, so be careful!

sup+シュノーケリングの1日ツアーに2人で参加しました！参加日は大潮で、潮の関係上、集合時間8:30、終了はお昼頃でした。が、トータルの時間としては1日分の体験時間と同じとの事でした。supは2組(3人)にガイドさん1人で、丁寧にレクチャー、写真撮影してもらいました。入り江で練習した後、少し沖の方まで行きました。初めてでしたが、とても楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは場所を変えて(車を持っていなかったので予約時に送迎をお願いしました)、ガイドさんも変わり(supもですが、同じツアー内でグループ分けが様々でした)、こちらも2組(5人)で色々なスポットに連れて行ってもらい、サンゴ、クマノミ、ウミガメ2匹が見れて感動でした！、ガイドさん同士でコミュケーションを取っていて、ウミガメ出現情報を共有していました。周辺のオススメ情報も教えていただき参考になりました。うっかり日焼け止めを忘れてしまい、シュノーケルで体の背面がすごく日焼けしてしまったので、注意が必要！！

I made a last-minute reservation the day before.
Since it was during the Obon holiday, there were a lot of people, but thanks to the smooth guidance from the tour guide, I was able to enjoy it.
I also took plenty of photos, creating lasting memories.
I would love to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

前日に急遽予約しました。
お盆期間という事もあり、人がたくさんいましたが、
ガイドさんのスムーズな案内で楽しむ事ができました。
写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、思い出が残りました。
また石垣島に行った際は、参加したいです！

I made a reservation because the reviews were good. It said to start at 8:30, so I planned to have breakfast at the hotel from 7:00 and then depart, but I was told over the phone the day before that we would meet at 8:00. Because of that, I hardly had any breakfast. I guess it changes depending on the weather, the number of people, and the tide. It can't be helped, but it seems that such things happen.

First, we went snorkeling at Shigira Beach. There is an additional parking fee of 1,000 yen. One staff member seems to handle about four groups. It was very beautiful, and I was glad to see a sea turtle. They also took photos with a GoPro. After about an hour, we moved to Ingyamarine Garden in our own car (there were no showers, so we went straight from the sea).

After that, we enjoyed SUP and canoeing for about an hour. It was a bit scary to go out into the sea on my own, but since it was a tour, it was fun to paddle out. They took a lot of photos for us. There were no showers here either, but they provided a bottle of water to rinse our hands, feet, and faces. We finished around 10:30 to 11:00.

I felt like I had used quite a bit of energy by this point. I was torn between a full-day course, but for our family, who lacks confidence in our stamina, the half-day course was a good choice. I'll save the Pumpkin Cave for next time.

口コミが良かったので予約してみました。
８時半からと書いてあったので７時からホテルの朝食を食べて出発と思っていましたが、前日の電話で８時に集合と言われました。その為朝食がほとんど食べれませんでした。その日の天候や人数や潮の流れなどにより変わるのでしょうね。仕方がありませんがそういう事もあるようです。
最初はシギラビーチでシュノーケリングです。別途駐車料金が１０００円かかります。１人の担当の方が４組程度を受け持ちするようです。とても綺麗でウミガメも見れて良かったです。写真もGOPROで撮って下さいます。１時間くらいしてインギャーマリンガーデンへ自分の車で移動します。（シャワーなどがなく、海から上がってそのまま）
その後SUPとカヌーを１時間くらい楽しみます。個人では沖へ出るのが少し怖いですが　ツアーなので漕いで出る事ができて楽しかったです。とてもたくさん写真も撮って頂きました。こちらもシャワーはないですが手足顔を流す用にボトルのお水をくれました。終わって１０時半～１１時くらいでした。
ここまでで結構体力を使ったなぁと思いました。１日コースと迷いましたが体力に自信が無い我が家としては半日コースで良かったと思いました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞はまた次回にとっておきます。

The SUP instructor was very skilled at teaching, and I improved tremendously. I was also able to snorkel quite freely, which made for some wonderful memories. If I have the chance again, I will definitely repeat this experience.

SUPはインストラクターの方の教え方が上手でめちゃくちゃ上達出来ました。シュノーケリングもかなり自由にできとてもいい思い出になりました。また機会が有ればリピ確定です。

The staff were all friendly and created a fun atmosphere without any pressure. Even when I fell into the water and couldn't do it well, we all laughed and had a great time. There were also a lot of fish, which felt really nice. It was a bit challenging to paddle through the round rocks, and I ended up in a strange place, but the staff came to help right away. Being able to paddle in the wonderful nature of Miyako Island felt like a dream. The staff provided a lot of explanations at the beginning, which were very easy to understand. Also, the staff were really funny, and I thought I would like to come back again.

スタッフが皆フレンドリーでプレッシャーのない楽しい雰囲気でできました。うまくできず水の中に落ちても、みんなで笑ってとても楽しかったです。魚もたくさんいてとっても気持ちよかったです。丸い岩の間をサップで通り抜けるとき少し難しくて、変なところに行ってしまったけれど、スタッフがすぐに助けに来てくれました。宮古島の素晴らしい自然の中でサップができるなんて、夢のようでした。スタッフが最初にたくさん説明してくれて、とてもわかりやすかったです。また、スタッフがとっても面白い方々で、また来たいなと思いました。

Thanks to everyone, I enjoyed my second day in Okinawa! The explanations were thorough and easy to understand. They were very kind to recommend shops beyond just activities, and the food was delicious! It was the best!

みなさんのおかげで沖縄2日目楽しめました！説明も丁寧でわかりやすかったです‍♀️
アクティビティ以外でもおすすめのお店を教えてくれたりと非常に親切でした！しかも美味しかったです！最高！

It was my first time paddleboarding, and since it was on a river, there was no shaking, so I wasn't scared at all, and it was really fun. I was even able to stand up partway through.

The snorkeling at Balas Island also had high visibility, and I was able to see plenty of fish with just a snorkel.

I highly recommend it.

初サップ、川なので揺れず、怖くなく、とても楽しかったです。途中から立つこともできました。

バラス島シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、シュノーケルでも十分魚が見れました。

オススメです。

I experienced this with my elementary school children. Since it was our first time, I was worried about how it would go, but thanks to the careful guidance, both of them were able to enjoy it right away. Especially my younger child felt secure because the instructor helped pull him along. There were many beautiful fish, so we could enjoy not only the SUP but also fish watching at the same time. The scenery was truly wonderful. We also took many lovely photos, making it the best memory!

小学生の子供たちと体験しました。初めてなのでどうなるかなと心配していましたが、丁寧なご指導のおかげで、2人ともすぐに楽しめるようになりました。特に下の子は、インストラクターのお兄さんに牽引してもらったので、安心でした。きれいな魚もたくさんいたので、SUPだけでなく、お魚の鑑賞もいっぺんに楽しむことができました。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです。素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただき、最高の思い出になりました！

Since it was during the period of the COVID-19 infection spread, I was hesitant about traveling until just before the trip, so I signed up after arriving at the destination.

It was our family's first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and we had some experience with snorkeling, participating with the goal of seeing sea turtles. My fifth-grade daughter had some trouble getting her snorkeling gear on properly and was a bit fussy, but the guide was great at helping her, and we were able to see the sea turtles breathing up close. In the end, we finished with smiles, and I am truly grateful for that.

The morning SUP was at a beach we had never been to before, which was refreshing, but the afternoon snorkeling might have been at a spot with better tidal conditions and a higher chance of encountering sea turtles. However, since it was a beach I had been to before, I wished we could have gone somewhere different. We gathered at 10:00 AM, and after explanations, we had about an hour and a half of SUP. In the afternoon, we changed locations and regrouped at 2:30 PM for another hour and a half of snorkeling. The guide also took photos for us and sent them later via LINE.

Next time, I hope to enjoy it a bit more leisurely and thoroughly.

コロナ感染拡大の時期でもあったので、直前まで旅行自体も迷っていたため、現地に到着後に申し込みをしました。
家族で、SUPは初体験で、シュノーケルは経験ありで、ウミガメさん目的での参加でした。小5の娘がシュノーケルが思うように装着できず、グズグズすることもありましたが、ガイドのお兄さんがうまく誘導してくれて、ウミガメさんもすごく近くで呼吸するところまで見れて、最後には笑顔で終われたので本当に感謝です。
午前SUPではじめてのビーチでしたので新鮮でしたが、午後のシュノーケルは潮の関係やウミガメ遭遇率の高いところだったのかもしれませんが、過去に行ったことのあるビーチだったので、違うところに行ってみたかったなとも思いました。10時集合で説明含めて実質1時間半ほどSUP,午後は14:30に場所を変えて再度集合でまた1時間半ほどシュノーケルでした。写真もガイドさんが撮ってくれて、後でLINEで送っていただけました。
次はもうちょっとゆっくりじっくり楽しみたいなと思います。

I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time, saw mangroves for the first time, and rode a canoe for the first time. It was fun to see various aspects of nature, and the experience of paddling together was really enjoyable! I couldn't participate in snorkeling this time, but I want to join snorkeling next time!

初めて石垣島に来て、初めてマングローブを見て、初めてカヌーに乗ったが、いろんな自然を見れて楽しかったし、2人で協力して漕ぐ体験がすごく楽しかった！
今回はシュノーケリングに参加できなかったが次はシュノーケリングにも参加したい！
