I strolled through the jungle while searching for creatures with the staff, who also provided various explanations. Since I brought my camera, I was given plenty of time to capture the starry sky.

スタッフの方々とジャングルの生き物を探しながら散策し、いろいろと説明もしてくださいました。カメラを持参したこともあり、星空を撮影する時間も充分に取っていただけました。

月曜の1便だったため他の参加者がおらず、私たちだけの貸切状態でした！
2歳から参加可能とのことで選んだツアーでしたが、ガイドさんがいつも子供のことを気にしてくださり、とても助かりました。
途中少しぐずり出したこともあり、最後のポイントまでは行かない判断をしてくださったり、子供に生き物を近くで見せてくれたり、たくさんご配慮いただいたおかげで楽しくツアーを終えられました。
最後は子供も「楽しかった！」と言っていて、参加して良かったと思いました！

またガイドさんはランチのおすすめなども教えてくださり、そちらに行ってみたらとっても美味しくて最高でした！
良い思い出をありがとうございました！

I had the rare experience of exploring the jungle at night. I was able to see many creatures, including coconut crabs, and the starry sky was incredibly beautiful and moving. Thanks to the guide who provided various explanations, it became 100 times more enjoyable.

夜中のジャングルを探索するという貴重な経験をすることができました。
ヤシガニをはじめとした生き物をたくさん見ることができ、星空もすごく綺麗で感動しました。
ガイドの方がいろんな解説をしてくださったおかげで、100倍楽しくなりました。

Snorkeling in the beautiful sea was amazing! There were so many fish underwater, and just watching them made the time fly by. The guide provided a lot of explanations about the fish and more, allowing me to learn a lot about Ishigaki Island. It was so much fun!

とても綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングは最高でした！
海の中にたくさんの魚がいて、その魚たちを見ているだけであっという間に時間が過ぎました。
ガイドさんが魚などの解説をたくさんしてくださり、石垣島について詳しくなることができました。
とっても楽しかったです。

I participated in a tour to see sea turtles, and I was moved to be able to see them! Just when I was about to give up and head back, thinking I might not see any, a sea turtle appeared! Thanks to the instructor who didn't give up! It was a lot of fun!

ウミガメを見れるか見れないかのツアーに参加しましたが、無事に見ることができて感動しました！今回は見れないかもと諦めて帰ろうとした時にウミガメが現れました！インストラクターのお兄さんが諦めなかったおかげです！楽しかったです！

We traveled by bus with a large group, but when it came time to enter the sea, we split into smaller groups of about four people. They were considerate of those of us who aren't great swimmers, allowing us to explore the Blue Cave while holding onto floaties! It was reassuring to have some time to gradually get used to the water temperature, making it a great experience for small children as well. ✨ The young and wonderful guides provided informative explanations about the surrounding terrain, history, and marine life, which was very educational. ✏️ Although we didn't see any sea turtles, we were able to observe various types of fish, and swimming over the deep trench was an exceptional experience. 🐠🫧

During the latter part of the mangrove forest SUP, the instructors kindly taught us how to paddle at a comfortable pace, allowing us to enjoy it safely. ☺️ It felt amazing to sit while paddling, and when I was able to stand and paddle, it was such a nice feeling! (One of the women from the couple we were with fell into the river but seemed to be having a great time. 😆 Haha.) We thoroughly enjoyed the quintessential Okinawan mangrove forest and learned about the Kijimunaa fairy that resides in the giant banyan trees. I definitely want to participate again!

大人数でバスで移動しましたが、海に入るときには4名前後のグループ行動になります。泳ぎが苦手な私たちにも配慮してくださり、浮き輪に捕まりながら青の洞窟を探検することができました！海の温度に少しずつ慣れる時間があるので安心感があり、小さなお子さんにもおすすめです✨若くて素敵なお兄さん、お姉さんたち（ガイドさんたち）による、周辺の地形や歴史、海の生き物などの説明は勉強になりました✏️ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、数々の種類のお魚を見られましたし、深い溝の上を泳ぐ体験は格別でした🐠🫧

後半のマングローブ林SUPでは、SUP初心者の私たちにゆっくり親切に乗り方を教えてくださり、安全に楽しめました☺️座りながら乗って、立って漕げたときはとても気持ちよかったです！（一緒だったカップルの女性は川に落ちちゃってましたが楽しそうでした😆笑）。THE沖縄感のマングローブ林を堪能して、巨大ガジュマルに宿るキジムナーの妖精についても教えてもらえてよかったです！ぜひまた参加したいです！！

The sunset and starry sky were amazing! I was also happy to find the coconut crab safely. The guide spoke not only Japanese but also fluent English, providing explanations. I was worried since I had kids with me, but thanks to the guide's consideration, it became a wonderful memory!

夕暮れと星空が最高でした！ヤシガニも無事見つけることができたので嬉しかったです。ガイドの方は日本語はもちろん、流暢な英語でも説明してくださっていました。子連れだったので色々と心配でしたが、ガイドの方の配慮もあり、いい思い出になりました！

I learned about the ruggedness, fun, and freshness of nature from the guide. Throughout the journey and on the way back, they shared a lot about Yakushima, making it a very enjoyable trekking experience. Thank you very much!

自然の中の、険しさ。楽しさ、爽やかさを、ガイドさんに教えていただきました、また、道中や、帰り道まで、屋久島のことを、教えてくださって、とても、楽しいトレッキングでした、
ありがとございました、

Thank you very much to Mana and So-chan for attending this time. I learned a lot from your rich knowledge, and it was a meaningful time. Although we gathered early in the morning, there were indeed fewer people, and the sea turtles seemed to be relaxing, or maybe it was just my imagination. Thank you for a wonderful time.

I look forward to seeing you again next time.

今回アテンドしてくれた、まな様そうちゃん様本当にありがとうございました。お二人の豊かな知識で勉強になり、有意義な時間になりました。朝イチの集合でしたが、やはり人も少なくウミガメも気のせいかリラックスしていように見えました。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

また次回もどうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。

I was really looking forward to swimming with the sea turtles! Seeing them up close and swimming right next to me was incredibly moving. I also got to see clownfish and it became an amazing memory in the beautiful sea! The guide was very kind and considerate, and I got a bit too excited, haha.

The guide kept apologizing for the sea turtles being so fast that we couldn't take a picture together, but it’s okay because the experience is etched in my memory. Since it was our first trip as a couple, my husband, who isn't fond of the sea, also had a great time, and it truly became a wonderful memory! Thank you so much.

I will definitely reach out again when I visit Miyako Island! Thank you! ^ ^

ウミガメさんと泳げると楽しみにしていました^ ^
実際見れて真横で泳いでくれててめちゃくちゃ感動しました。カクレクマノミなども間近で見れて綺麗な海ですごい思い出になりました！
ガイドさんも優しく色々気遣ってくれてはしゃぎすぎてしまいました笑
ウミガメさんがなかなか動きが早く一緒に写真を撮れなかったことをガイドさんがすごく申し訳ないとずっと謝ってくれてましたが目に焼き付けられたので大丈夫です、、笑
初めて夫婦での旅行だったので海が苦手な主人も楽しめて本当いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございます。
またかならず宮古島行った際はお願い致します！
ありがとうございました！^ ^

The boarding time is about an hour and a half. The foreign captain was a very interesting person. He was also very good at Japanese and provided an engaging tour filled with humor, sharing his knowledge of the local area as well as Japan, while showcasing the art created by nature. I will always remember that experience. When you come to Otaru, you might think of sushi and the New Year's warehouse, but next time you visit Otaru, why not join this blue cave boat tour? It will surely become a wonderful memory of Otaru. Thank you, Seichou!

乗船時間は約1時間半。外国の船長さん大変面白い方。日本語も大変上手で現地の知識や日本の知識を理解しながら、自然の作り上げた芸術を笑い話を込めた興味深い案内をしてくれたことには思い出に残っています。小樽に来ればお寿司や年賀倉庫と思われますが、ぜひ今度は小谷に来たらこの青い洞窟の遊覧ボートに参加してみてはいかがでしょうか。きっと楽しい小樽の思い出となることでしょう。成長さんありがとう！

I participated with a friend.
It was both of our first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, but they taught us carefully, and we had a great time.
The water was clear, so we were able to see fish too!
They took videos with both a smartphone and a drone, and even gave us a video as a gift, which made us very satisfied!
The staff were kind and really helpful!

友人と参加しました。
2人ともsupは初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてくださり、楽しめました。
クリアなので、魚も見ることができました！
スマホでもドローンでも撮ってくれて、動画のプレゼントまであって大満足です！
スタッフの方は親切で、本当に助かりました！

Mana and Ko-chan were the instructors. They provided a thorough explanation of snorkeling, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy it! We encountered two sea turtles! We also saw sea snakes, clownfish, and many other fish. It was nice that there were few people in the early morning. I was able to create wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

まなさんとこうちゃんがインストラクターでした。
しっかりとシュノーケリングの説明があり、とても安心して楽しむことができました！
海亀も2匹遭遇！ウミヘビやクマノミ、たくさん魚に会えました。
早朝は人も少なく良かったです。
良い思い出がつくれました。
ありがとうございました！

Since I had plans in the afternoon, I was able to enjoy SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) quickly in the morning. The guide's explanations were easy to understand as well.

午後から予定を入れていたので朝からさくっとSUPが楽しめました。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすかったです。

I wasn't expecting much due to the cloudy rainy season, but we had a wonderful time seeing sea turtles and cute fish, creating great memories as a family. The staff were kind and easy to talk to, and my shy daughter was able to relax and enjoy herself. All the videos and photos turned out amazing, and if we go to Miyako Island again, we would love to use your services! Thank you very much!

梅雨の曇りであまり期待せずだったのですが、ウミガメと可愛いお魚に会えて家族でとても良い思い出になりました。スタッフの方も優しくて話やすくて人見知りの娘もリラックスして楽しんでました。沢山の動画と写真も全部素晴らしく良くて次も宮古島に行ったらお世話になりたいです!!ありがとうございました！

I spent a week in Miyako Island, but due to the rainy season, the bad weather continued, and the snorkeling at Yaese was canceled. Therefore, I made a last-minute reservation for this tour, which I had also requested last year, on a backup day. Fortunately, I hit a sunny break between the rains, and the sea, illuminated by the light, was very beautiful. The guide was also very kind, and I was able to have a great time.

宮古島に１週間いましたが、梅雨時で悪天候が続き、八重瀬のシュノーケルもキャンセルになったため、去年もお願いしたこのツアーを、現地で急遽予備日に予約しました。たまたま、梅雨の合間の晴れにあたり、光の差した海の中はとても綺麗でした。ガイドのお兄さんもとても親切で、楽しい時を過ごすことが出来ました。

The guide was very kind, and the transportation from the hotel to the experience location was really helpful! I was able to relax and enjoy the experience under the beautiful dawn sky ⭐︎ It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and I’m really glad I got to experience it ( ◠‿◠ )

ガイドさんがとても親切で、ホテルから体験先までの送迎がありとても助かりました！
夜明けの綺麗な空の下でリラックスしながら体験できました⭐︎
石垣島は初めてだったのですが、体験できて本当に良かったです( ◠‿◠ )

The snorkeling and diving were fantastic. The workers are really kind and always smiling. When I was diving, they kept checking if I was fine or if I had any injuries. They are very responsible, teaching us safety rules and also hand signals that we could use. There are three points that we go to (the different parts of the sea), and we divided into groups. At the first point, one group did snorkeling while some groups did diving; it was really nice. The boat was medium-sized, but the inside was very clean. The water in the ocean is clear, so it was really cool—we saw five turtles! They also take videos and pictures and send them to us.

However, one thing that was a little uncomfortable was that there are only two restrooms and two shower rooms. But I think if you go quickly, it would be okay. I also did an additional dive; if you pay 7,000 yen, you can do an extra dive. If you don't want to do another one, you can go snorkeling. If you get seasick, they have bags for throwing up. The workers are really nice and kind. They speak a variety of languages, including Chinese, English, and Japanese. It was the best experience I had in Okinawa. I would go here again if I come to Okinawa again!

The snowkeling and diving was so fantastic.😍 The workers are really king and allways smiling.When I did diving they kept cheacking uf I am fine or if I have somewhere that I am hurt. They are really responcible teaching us safty ruies and also signs that we cohld do with hands. there are 3points that we go (the different sea parts that we go)we divied into groups and in the first point othrr group does snowkeling and some groups do diving it was really nice. the boat was like a middle size but inside was really clean the inside if the ocean is clear so it was really cool we saw 5turtles!! They also take vidors and pictures and send it to us. But something that was little bit uncomftoble was that there is only 2 resrooms and 2 shower rooms. But I think uf you go quickly then it would be okay. Also I did and additional diving if you pay 7,000yen you could do and extra diving. if yiu dont want to do another one then you could di snowkeling. If you have boat sick they dive bags to thowup. They are really nice and kind.The workers do chinese,english,japanese like varity of languges it was the brst expreencie that I had in Okinawa😆.I would go here again if I come to Okinawa again.😀!

To be honest, I was considering canceling because the weather looked bad. I had been praying to the teru teru bozu for good weather since before the trip.

Surprisingly, the morning of the event was sunny, perfect for a beach day. However, in the afternoon, it rained and there was thunder during snorkeling.

But the guide took a lot of photos, and I am very satisfied with how they turned out.

I would love to go again if I have the chance. Thank you for everything. Thank you very much! 😊

正直お天気が悪そうで、キャンセルしようかと考えていました。出発前からてるてる坊主に晴れますようにとお願いしていました。
なんと当日の午前は晴れた海水浴で万歳。
午後のシュノーケリングは雨と雷が。
しかし、引率のお兄さんがたくさん写真も撮ってくれて。その仕上がりに大満足です。

また機会があったら行きたいですね。
お世話になりました。
ありがとうございました😊

My wife and I participated in a sea turtle exploration snorkeling tour. The weather was rainy, but the water was very clear and beautiful. We were able to encounter sea turtles, which made for a very precious experience and memory. We are grateful to the kind staff.
☆ The female staff were beautiful!!

妻と2人で海亀探索シュノーケルに参加させて頂きました。天候が大雨でしたが、海の中はとても透き通った綺麗な海でした。海亀にも出会うことが出来て、とても貴重な時間と思い出になり親切なスタッフ一同に感謝しています。
☆女性スタッフが美人でした‼️

I was looking forward to my trip to Ishigaki Island. The weather forecast predicted rain...

However, although it was cloudy on the day of the tour, we were able to enjoy it without getting rained on. The ground was slippery from the rain, which made our walk through the forest thrilling and fun, and I felt lucky to observe many creatures! It left me with a positive feeling.

It was disappointing that I couldn't see any stars due to the thick clouds, but I was glad to have experienced the magnificent nature of Ishigaki Island during the tour.

Both tour conductors were friendly and kind, and I would recommend this tour to anyone I know who is traveling to Ishigaki Island. I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

楽しみにしていた石垣島旅行。
天気予報は雨、、、

しかし当日は曇ってはいたものの、雨に降られることなくツアーが開催されました。
雨上がりで地面が滑りやすく、森の中の散策はスリル感満載で楽しかったのと、生き物をたくさん観察できて運が良かった！とポジティブな気持ちになりました。

厚い雲のせいで星は一つも観えなかったのは残念でしたが、雄大な石垣島の自然を体感できたのでツアーに参加してよかったです。

ツアーコンダクターのお二人とも気さくで親切で、石垣島に旅行にいく知り合いがいたらおススメしたいです。
素敵な時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

The SUP and snorkeling tours were both amazing. Our guide, Hana, was very friendly and kind, and she even recommended some great restaurants to us. We saw sea turtles, many different kinds of fish, and even a sea snake. It was a very enjoyable and memorable trip. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The weather was great, and we were able to spend a wonderful time with our family. It was disappointing that we couldn't find any sea turtles, but I would like to save that for next time as something to look forward to.

天気にも恵まれて、家族で楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ウミガメを見つけることが出来ず残念でしたが、そちらは次回の楽しみに取っておきたいと思います。

I participated in early June, ordered lunch bento only, and I'm a beginner at mountain climbing.

While researching on Veltra, I found that there were very few places that allowed solo participation. Even after making a reservation, I faced cancellations due to requests, and I finally managed to book this tour. I was truly grateful for that.

After heavy rain the day before, flights were canceled, and there was a fear that this tour might also be canceled, so I was quite anxious. However, on the day of the tour, it was rainy then cloudy, and we were able to trek safely.

A large bus came to pick us up near the hotel early in the morning, and those who ordered bento received their meals from a bento shop along the way, heading straight to the trailhead.

After getting off the bus, we quickly had breakfast and started. We walked along the flat path of the trolley, and then it was finally time to climb. We were able to see the main attractions like Wilson's stump, the Great Cedar, and Jomon Cedar.

Although it was early June, the temperature wasn't too hot, and there weren't many bugs. The natural beauty of Yakushima was truly stunning, making the climb enjoyable.

Our guide, Mr. Mitsuhashi, was a bit strict (maybe?), but thanks to that, I was reminded of the challenges of mountain climbing, which made me more focused. He was also very knowledgeable, and by listening to his stories, I learned about the history of the spots we visited, the greatness of Jomon Cedar, and what kind of island Yakushima is. This added a lot of value to the experience.

He actively suggested angles and poses for photos, which made it fun. Thank you very much!

I exceeded the character limit in the advice section, so here’s more… Regarding the drinks mentioned in the packing list, it said about 500ml. Since I tend to get thirsty more easily than others, I brought 1 liter, which was two 500ml bottles. However, I found that there were natural water supply spots in Yakushima, and I ended up not needing to drink from my bottles, making them extra weight. So, as mentioned, one bottle is sufficient! However, if someone is a bit of a germaphobe and is hesitant about drinking natural water directly, they might need to prepare accordingly.

Also, while it can be cold at the summit, it gets hot when you're moving, so I thought a heavy jacket might not be necessary.

6月初旬参加・お弁当昼のみ注文・山登り初心者

ベルトラで調べていて1人参加できるところがかなり少なく…。
予約してもリクエストキャンセルをされやっと予約できたのがこのツアー。本当にありがたかったです。

前日の大雨から飛行機も欠航、こちらのツアーも中止の恐れがあるとのことでヒヤヒヤしておりましたが当日は雨のち曇で無事トレッキングをすることができました。

早朝にホテル近くまでお迎えの大型バスが来て、注文した人は途中お弁当屋さんでお弁当を受け取り、そのまま登山口まで。

バスを降りたあと、早速朝食を食べて開始です。
トロッコの平たんな道をひたすら歩いたあと、いよいよ登り。メインであるウィルソン株や大王杉、縄文杉…等見ることができました。

6月のはじめではありましたが気温もそこまで暑くはなく、虫もそこまでいなかったこと、また屋久島の自然は本当に綺麗で登っていて気持ちがよかったです。

ガイドの三橋さんは少しスパルタ(？笑)ではありましたが、そのおかげで山登りの厳しさを改めて知り気が引き締まりましたし、
知識も豊富で、お話を聞くことによりそのスポットの歴史やこれから向かう縄文杉のすごさ、また屋久島という島がどういう島であるのか勉強になり、この体験にたくさんの付加価値をつけてくださりました。

写真撮影等も角度やポーズの提案など積極的にしてくださり楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。

アドバイス欄では文字数オーバーしたので、
こちらに…
持ち物にある飲み物、500ml程度とのことで
私は普段から人より喉が乾きやすいので、勝手に500ml×2本の1リットルを持って行ってました。
そうしたら屋久島では天然の給水スポットがあり、むしろそちらが飲またくなり完全はなお荷物になりました。
なので記載の通り一本で充分です！
ただわからないですが潔癖症とかで天然の水をそのままはちょっと…と思う方はやはり用意が必要かとしれません。

また登頂は寒くはありますが、動いている時は暑くなるため、上着もそこまでしっかりいらないかなと思いました。

The guide was very knowledgeable, and it was a lot of fun walking around. I could really feel that the guide truly loves Shiretoko.

ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、歩いていて非常に楽しかったです。ガイドさんも知床が本当に好きなんだなと感じました。

Kayaking while observing mangroves and wildlife from the water was the best activity that allowed me to feel a sense of the extraordinary and immerse myself in nature! The guide was kind and taught us how to paddle the kayak, and also shared various information about Okinawa's vegetation, making it enjoyable to learn about Okinawa's nature while kayaking!

カヤックを漕ぎながら、水上からマングローブや生物を見ることができ、非日常かつ自然をたっぷり感じれる最高のアクティビティでした！ガイドの方が優しくカヤックの漕ぎ方を教えてくれますし、沖縄の植生物についてもいろいろ教えてくれるので楽しくカヤックを漕ぎながら沖縄の自然を知ることができますよ！

I wanted to visit Jomon Sugi, which has been my long-time dream, so I participated in this guided tour for the first time. They pointed out photo spots along the way and took pictures for us. The amount of information provided seems to vary depending on the guide.

I think they try to distribute the number of guests so that no single guide has too many people, but if there’s even one slow person in the group, everyone has to match their pace, which is a matter of luck. If faster people have to adjust to a slower pace, it can be exhausting and not enjoyable. When I made my reservation, there was a section to fill out about my hiking experience and usual activity level, so I thought they would take that into consideration, but I ended up in the same group as complete beginners, which was quite a struggle.

念願だった縄文杉に行きたくて、初めてだったので本ガイドツアーに参加
所々で写真スポットを教えてもらえ、写真も撮ってもらえます。
情報量はガイドさんによってバラバラっぽいです。

おそらく1ガイドさんに客が多数になりすぎないように分散はしてくれてるのだと思うけど、同グループになった人で1人でも遅い人がいるとその人にペースを合わせることになるので、運です。早い人が遅いペースに合わせると余計に疲れるし、楽しくないですよね。
参加予約時に山登りの経験や普段の運動量を記入する欄があったため、ある程度配慮されているのかと思いましたが、がっつり初心者と同グループになり苦行でした。

Thank you for allowing me to experience diving in the best spots despite the bad weather during the rainy season. Since it had been a while since my last dive, I appreciated the updates on equipment usage and knowledge. The instructor, who was both strong and graceful while swimming, was ideal, taking care of my nervousness on the day. It was reassuring to have a pickup service to the hotel, and I was delighted when the captain took us on a leisurely tour of recommended spots visible from the sea on the way back. The views were breathtaking, and I wish I had brought my smartphone on board (though it's important to take responsibility for the risk of getting it wet or losing it).

梅雨の悪天候の中、最高の場所を見極めてのダイビングを体験させていただき、ありがとうございました。
久しぶりにダイビングを体験する私に対して、機材の使い方や、知識をアップデートさせていただきました。
当日慌てる私の面倒を見ながら、時にしっかり強く、優雅に泳げるインストラクターさんが理想の泳ぎ方でした。
ホテルまでピックアップあり安心、船の帰りしなに船長さんが、海上から見えるオススメスポットを船でゆっくり回ってくださったのも嬉しい出来事でした。絶景で、スマホを船内に持っていけばよかったです。(濡れる可能性や失くす可能性は自己責任、しっかり対策を)

I participated in a grand loop tour that covered all five lakes of Shiretoko. The guide provided enjoyable explanations about the forest, flora and fauna, and Shiretoko itself. Everything was new to me, and I found it very interesting, allowing me to explore the area thoroughly.

知床五湖を全て回る大ループツアーに参加しました。ガイドさんが森の事、動植物の事、知床の事等色々と楽しく説明して下さり、どれも初めて見ること聞くことばかりで、とても興味深く、散策する事が出来ました。

Cape Hedo, the northernmost point of Okinawa, felt grand in a different way when considering the strong beach image typically associated with Okinawa. The visit to the factory and store for Shikuwasa, which we stopped by for souvenirs, was interesting in another sense, and I think it was a nice choice for this tour.

沖縄最北端の辺戸岬はビーチのイメージが強い沖縄を考えるとある意味違った壮大さを感じました。お土産で立ち寄ったシークワーサー工場兼店舗はまた違った意味で面白くこのツアーのナイスチョイスだったと思います。
