All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I was quite exhausted from my usual lack of exercise during the kayak trip to the destination. After that, the climb inside the cave was tough, and I had to motivate myself not to give up. The sense of accomplishment after finishing was incredible. I was really out of breath, though...

普段の運動不足から目的地までのカヤックでかなりバテていました。そこからまた鍾乳洞内の登りがキツく諦めそうになる気持ちを奮いたたせました。終わった後の達成感がたまりませんでした。かなり息切れしましたが・・

- Snorkeling
Even though it was winter and the weather wasn't that great, the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles and clownfish up close! There were also friendly fish that were adorable. The snorkeling spot isn't very deep, so I think even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind.
- Canoeing + Pumpkin Cave
The canoeing to the cave was a bit more challenging than I expected due to the distance and slightly strong waves, but it was a unique experience and very enjoyable! The Pumpkin Cave was larger and more beautiful than I had imagined, and I was impressed by the cave I saw further in! I learned a lot about the cave from the guide's explanations, which was interesting.

Lastly, I was very happy to receive many photos and videos that the guide took at various points! I appreciated it because I often struggle to take nice photos myself!

・シュノーケリング
冬で天気もそれほど良くありませんでしたが、海の中はとても綺麗で、ウミガメやクマノミも近くで見ることができました！人懐こい魚もいてかわいかったです。シュノーケリングスポットはそれほど深くないので、初めての方でも安心して楽しめると思います。
・カヌー＋パンプキン鍾乳洞
鍾乳洞までのカヌーは距離が思ったよりもあったのと波が少し強かったので少し力がいりましたが、なかなかできない体験で、とても楽しかったです！
パンプキンは思っていたよりも大きくて綺麗で、更にその先に進んで見られた鍾乳洞に感動しました！
ガイドさんの解説で鍾乳洞についていろいろと知ることができ、おもしろかったです。

最後にガイドさんが所々で撮ってくださっていた写真や動画をたくさんくださったのがとても嬉しかったです！自分ではなかなか綺麗に写真がとれないのでありがたかったです！

I received a very polite explanation over the phone the day before, which made it easy to understand and feel reassured about participating. I quickly got the hang of stand-up paddleboarding, and it was a lot of fun. Although we couldn't go snorkeling due to the wind, we enjoyed sightseeing on Yufu Island, which was also very enjoyable.

前日のお電話でもとても丁寧に説明していただきわかりやすく安心して参加できました。初体験のサップもすぐに乗れるようになり楽しかったです。シュノーケリングは風の影響でできなくなり、由布島観光になりましたがとても楽しかったです。

I was told that the private room on the second floor can be used if the cost is 6,600 yen or more per person, so I made a change. It had quite a luxurious feel.

2階の個室は1人6600円以上ならば使って良いと言われ、変更しました。
かなりセレブ感がありました。

I was looking forward to snorkeling in the Blue Cave, but I received notice the day before that it was canceled due to strong winds. I was hesitant, but the SUP experience turned out to be the right choice.

We got to see the mangroves up close during the Nakagawa River cruise in Iriomote Island, and the kids, who were initially reluctant, ended up loving it.

They are already asking to go again.

The instructor recommended a restaurant, and we were seated right away, but I noticed there was a line of people waiting.

I was given the name of a delicious restaurant.

青の洞窟シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたのですが、前日強風のために中止との連絡が有り迷ったのですが、サップ体験は正解でした。
西表島の仲間川遊覧で見たマングローブを触れるほど近距離で見れたし、最初は嫌がっていた子供達がハマりました。

また行きたいとせがまれています。

インストラクターの方おすすめのお店、入店して直ぐ席に着けましたが気がつくとお待ちの列・・

美味しいお店を教えていただきました。

On January 1, 2023, the weather for kayaking was perfect with no wind and great conditions. ☀️

The staff's guidance was attentive, and their explanations about the natural plants were easy to understand. They also answered our questions thoroughly.

We went kayaking as a group of three, including our 5-year-old child, and the kayak was stable and easy to maneuver.

2023.1.1にカヤック天候も良く風も無く最高のカヤック日和でした☀️

スタッフさんの案内も丁寧で自然植物の説明も分かりやすく質問にもしっかり答えて頂きました。

私達は、5歳の子供含め3人でカヤックに乗りましたが安定さカヤックで操作もしやすかったです。

Sea kayaking, Pumpkin Cave, and snorkeling were all first-time experiences for me, and each one was truly amazing!!

At first, I was nervous about getting in and paddling the kayak, but our guide, Yusei, was very encouraging and gave me advice on how to operate it, so I was able to reach the cave safely (*^^*).

The Pumpkin Cave was many times more magnificent and mystical than it appeared in photos! The detailed explanations at key points allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. I heard that it might not be accessible in about a year, so I'm glad I could go at this timing (o^^o).

During snorkeling, thanks to Yusei searching for sea turtles, I was able to see one up close! I also spotted a clownfish, and the sea creatures were all so cute (*´艸`). It was my first time snorkeling, and I was really nervous at first, but by the end, I was able to swim and enjoy myself♪

They were also very accommodating with photo-taking, and I created many wonderful memories! The other guests on the tour were cheerful and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable!

My first marine activity in Miyako Island was truly the best! Thank you so much (*´˘`*)♡

シーカヤックもパンプキン鍾乳洞もシュノーケリングも全て初めてでしたが、どれも本当に最高でした！！

シーカヤックは最初乗るのも漕ぐのもおぼつかなくてドキドキでしたが、ガイドの優生さんがたくさん声をかけてくれて操作方法をアドバイスしてくれたので、無事鍾乳洞までたどり着けました(*^^*)

パンプキン鍾乳洞は写真で見るより何倍も壮大で且つ神秘的でした！要所要所で詳しく解説もしてくれるので、余すことなく堪能できました。もしかするとあと1年くらいで入れなくなってしまうかもとのことだったので、このタイミングで行くことができて良かったです(o^^o)

シュノーケリングでは優生さんがウミガメを探してくれたおかげで、ウミガメを間近で見ることができました！カクレクマノミも見れて、海の生き物達はとっても可愛かった(*´艸`)
シュノーケリングは人生初で最初はすごく緊張したけど、最後は楽しみながら泳ぐことができました♪

写真撮影も快く応じてくださり、たくさんの思い出ができました！一緒にツアー参加した他のお客さんも明るくて気さくで、さらに楽しく過ごせました！

初宮古島での初マリンアクティビティ、本当に最高でした！ありがとうございました(*´˘`*)♡

This was my first time on Iriomote Island, and I was able to fully enjoy the dynamic nature! The guide's explanations were very helpful, and the lunch at the waterfall was delicious. It seems there are various trekking tour courses available, so I would like to participate again.

初めての西表島です、ダイナミックな自然を満喫できました！
ガイドの方の説明もためになりましたし、滝上でのランチはとても美味しかったです。
トレッキングツアーは色々なコースがあるようですので、また参加したいと思いました。

It was my first experience with both kayaking and fishing, but the guide Mizuki and the captain were both wonderful people, and our conversations were enjoyable! They also shared recommendations, which made the trip even more fun! Of course, both kayaking and fishing were enjoyable, and I would love to experience them again if I get the chance to go to Okinawa! Thank you very much!!!

カヤックも船釣りも初体験でしたが、ガイドのみずきさんも船長さんもとても素敵な方でお話も楽しかったです！オススメなども教えていただき、さらに楽しい旅になりました！
もちろんカヤックも釣りも楽しくて、また沖縄に行けたら体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！！！

My wife and I participated together.
It took about an hour to get to the meeting point at Kadena Fishing Port using the route bus from Kencho Kitaguchi Station to Mizugama Station.
On the day we participated, we started with fishing, followed by kayaking. We moved by boat to the fishing spot, but it wasn't a case of catching fish one after another; we caught about 3 to 4 fish in an hour and a half. However, I enjoyed it because we caught fish I had never seen before. For kayaking, we paddled around the mangroves near Kadena Fishing Port. The staff provided thorough instructions, so I was able to experience it without any anxiety. It was a fulfilling experience as we learned about mangroves and saw unique creatures like fiddler crabs and mudskippers that are typical of tidal flats.
Afterward, we had the fish we caught prepared at a nearby restaurant, served as a set meal. In addition to the fish we caught, we also enjoyed sashimi and garlic-grilled fish, making for a hearty meal.

妻と2人で参加しました。
集合場所の嘉手納漁港までは県庁北口駅から水釜駅まで路線バスを利用して約1時間の移動でした。
我々が参加した日は釣りが先で、その後カヤックという順番でした。釣りはポイントまで船で移動して始まりましたが、入れ食いという感じではなく、1時間半ほとで3〜4匹の釣果でした。でも、初めて見るような魚が釣れたので楽しめました。カヤックは嘉手納漁港周辺のマングローブを見に、カヤックで移動しました。スタッフの方が丁寧に教えてくださったので、不安なく体験できました。マングローブの知識を教えてもらったり、シオマネキやトビハゼなど干潟ならではの生き物を見れたりと充実した体験になりました。
その後、近くの食事処で釣った魚を調理してもらい、定食としていただきました。釣った魚以外にもお刺身や魚のガーリック焼きなどが出たのでボリューム満点でした。

The meeting place, Motobu Genki Village, was enjoyable, and the underwater boat was wonderful. The view was so amazing that I could experience it over and over again.

集合場所のもとぶ元気村の施設自体も楽しかったですし、水中ボートも素晴らしかったです
何度でもなりたいくらい、素晴らしい眺めでした

It was about a 20-minute ride from the port, and there were no waves, so I didn't get seasick. My daughter and I were both excited as it was our first fishing experience. The staff kindly taught us, and when I caught a fish on their rod, I was allowed to reel it in. We also caught a few small ones on our own rods, which was a lot of fun. My daughter wants to go again, and we would like to use this service next time.

港から20分くらいのところ、波もなく船酔いしなかった。娘も私も初の釣り体験で、ドキドキしていた。
親切に教えてくれて、スタッフさんの竿にかかったとき、リールを巻かさせてもらい、自分達の竿にも小さいながら何匹か釣れたから、とても楽しかった。
娘もまた行きたいと次回また利用したいです。

After enjoying the scenery outdoors while moving to a spot with plenty of fish, we entered the submarine room for some fish watching. It was great to see the fish that we usually see in the aquarium swimming right in front of us in the ocean, creating a vivid experience! ✨

魚が多いスポットまでは外で景色を楽しみながらの移動後、潜水艦ルームに入ってお魚ウォッチングでした。
水族館で見る魚が目の前の海で泳いでいて臨場感があって良かったです✨

The guide was kind, and I was glad to participate as they provided detailed information about the history and animals of Iriomote Island! The scenery, including the mangroves, was also very satisfying during the stand-up paddleboarding! The guide on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island sang with a shamisen, creating a wonderful atmosphere! Overall, I’m really glad I participated!

ガイドさんが親切で、西表島の歴史や動物の話が詳しくて参加して良かったです！サップ中もマングローブなどの景観がよく満足でした！由布島にいく水牛車のガイドさんが三味線で歌を唄ってくれて雰囲気が最高でした！とにかく参加して良かったです！

The guide Q-chan was handsome and his explanations were very easy to understand. I would definitely like to request him again next time.

嫁のコメント
ガイドのQちやん、ハンサムだし、説明がとても分かりやすかったです。
次回も是非、指名したいくらいです。

I was able to experience the nature of Iriomote Island by getting up close to the mangroves in a canoe and walking along the mountain path to the waterfall. I'm glad I chose the tour that allowed me to enjoy both the top and the basin of the waterfall.

カヌーでマングローブを間近に見たり、滝まで山道を歩いたり、西表島の自然を体感することができました。滝上・滝壷両方を楽しむツアーを選んでよかったと思いました。

I wanted to go mangrove canoeing on Iriomote Island and snorkeling at Barasu Island, so I made a reservation the day before despite the questionable weather. On the same day, I received a call informing me that due to bad weather, the activity at Barasu Island was canceled, but I could choose between a free cancellation or just the mangrove experience. On the day of the tour, the wind on Iriomote Island was strong, but the mangrove area was calm, and I was able to fully enjoy the mangrove canoeing in nice weather. The guide taught us a lot about the wildlife and plants, and even took photos for us, making it a very satisfying tour.

西表島でマングローブカヌーとバラス島でシュノーケリングをしたくて天候が怪しい中申し込みを前日にしたところ、その日のうちにお電話いただき天候不良の為、バラス島でのアクティビティは中止ですが、キャンセル(無料)かマングローブのみを選ぶことができました。当日は西表島の風は強かったですが、マングローブはおだやかでいい天気の中マングローブカヌーを満喫することが出来ました。 ガイドさんが生物や植物について色々と教えてくださったり、写真撮っていただけたのでとても満足できるツアーでした。

We gathered at the meeting point after arriving by rental car. There, the tour guide suggested that we could visit Yufu Island individually in the afternoon, and they would adjust the price to that of a half-day course.

In the end, going to Yufu Island on our own was absolutely fine, and we managed to keep the costs quite low, so I was glad for the suggestion. The person in charge of the tour was very enjoyable and explained everything well, and the children warmed up to them. My 73-year-old mother was with us, and I had some concerns, but since she regularly plays tennis, she was able to enjoy the trekking without any issues. When we faced strong headwinds while kayaking, the guide helped us by pulling and assisting us.

We were able to fully enjoy Iriomote Island and had a very fun time.

レンタカーで集合場所まで行ってからの参加でした。
そこでツアー担当の方からの提案で、午後の由布島へは個人でいかれたらいかがでしょうか。とのことでした。料金も半日コースの料金にしていただけるとのことで。
結果、由布島に自分達だけで行くのも全く問題なかったですし、料金もかなり抑えられたので、提案していただき良かったです。
今回ツアーを担当してくれた方が、とても楽しく説明もお上手で、子どもたちもなついていました。73才の母もいて少し不安もありましたが、普段からテニスをしているだけあり、トレッキングも問題なく楽しめました。カヤックで向かい風がひどく進めないところは、担当の方が引っ張って補助してくれました。
西表島を存分に楽しめて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I wanted to give my 4-year-old daughter an experience in Okinawa, so we participated in kayaking. My wife and I did the steering ourselves, but she seemed really satisfied with riding a kayak for the first time! Also, the staff member in charge was very polite and kind, which was a great help. If we have the chance, I would like to participate again(^^).

4歳の娘に何か沖縄で体験させてあげたいと思いカヤックに参加。操縦自体は自分と妻でやりましたが、初めて乗るカヤックに凄く満足だったみたいです！また、担当のお兄さんがすごく丁寧で優しくて大変助かりました。機会があればまた参加したいと思います(^^)

We boarded the boat for about a 10-minute ride to the viewpoint, then spent around 20 minutes exploring the underwater observatory and the seabed. After that, we returned to the boat and headed to the disembarkation point. The coral reefs were truly beautiful, and colorful fish swam nearby, making it feel like a different world. I heard that if you're lucky, you might see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for us. However, after returning to land, I was satisfied to see the sea turtles that are cared for at the Tobu Genki Village.

ビューポイントまで10分くらい船上に乗り移動、そののち海中の展望室から
海底を散策20分くらい、また船上に戻り、解散場所へという行程でした。
サンゴ礁は本当に美しく、きれいな魚も近くを泳いでいてまさに別世界でした。運が良いとウミガメもみられるそうですが・・残念ながらそれはかなわず・・陸に上がってからもとぶ元気村で飼育（？）されているウミガメが見られたので、満足でした。

We visited Miyako Island for the first time on a family trip.

Since it was the off-season, I was worried that it might be too cold to go into the sea, but fortunately, it was sunny on the day of our visit! The wetsuit we rented felt almost too warm.

From Hachi, who was in charge, to everyone else, everyone was reliable, and I felt at ease enjoying the activities throughout. The inside of the limestone cave was more spacious than I expected, and I was able to feel the miracle of nature that took a long time to form.

My two scared daughters were anxious about being non-swimmers, but they said they wanted to go again. I'm glad they seemed to enjoy it.

Lastly, the boat was heavy to carry, and I almost felt like giving up. I think for an average person it wouldn’t be that tough, but I have a weak constitution. I'm feeling sore now, haha.

Overall, I highly recommend saying, "If you come to Miyako, you must go here!" Thank you to all the staff for your help. Thank you!

家族旅行で初めて宮古島を訪れました。

シーズンオフなので、海に入るのは寒いんじゃないかと心配しておりましたが、当日は運良く晴れ！お借りしたウエットスーツだと暑いくらいに感じました。

担当してくれたハチくんはじめ、みなさん頼りがいがあって終始安心してアクティビティを楽しめました。
思った以上に鍾乳洞の中も広く、長い年月をかけて作り上げられた大自然の奇跡を感じることが出来ました。

怖がりな娘2人もカナヅチでどうなるか不安でしたが、本人たち曰く、また行きたいと言っていました。楽しんでいたみたいで良かったです。

最後に男衆でボートを運ぶのだけ重くてへこたれそうになりました普通の人ならきっとそんなにキツくないと思うんですが、なにぶん虚弱体質なもので。筋肉痛です笑

全体通しては、宮古に来たらここへ行け！と言いたいくらいオススメです！スタッフのみなさん、お世話になりました。ありがとうございました！

The pumpkin cave tour I was looking forward to was canceled due to the waves, but I participated in the sea turtle snorkeling in the afternoon.

I was able to see two sea turtles, and our guide, Yusei, was handsome and very kind!

He took a lot of pictures with the sea turtles and clownfish, and I'm really glad I joined the tour!

When I come back to Miyako Island, I want to try the pumpkin cave again!

楽しみにしていたパンプキン鍾乳洞は波の影響で中止になってしまいましたが午後からウミガメシュノーケリングだけ参加しました。

ウミガメも2匹見れたしガイドの優生君はイケメンで凄く親切にしてくれました！

ウミガメやカクレクマノミと一緒の写真もたくさん撮ってくれてツアーに参加して本当に良かったです！

また宮古島に来た時はパンプキン鍾乳洞リベンジしたいです！

We were very lucky with the weather, enjoying a beautiful sunny day. We encountered several sea turtles, and the whole family was thrilled! We were surprised to see a clownfish, as we didn't expect to meet one. The explanations at Pumpkin Hall were easy to understand, and the kids were also very excited about the final dive. They were considerate of the children's pace, allowing us to fully enjoy a day at the sea.

天気にも恵まれとてもラッキーな快晴。
ウミガメにも何匹にも遭遇して家族皆、大興奮でした！！
カクレクマノミに会えると思っていなかったので見られてビックリ！！
パンプキンホールでの説明も分かりやすく、最後の飛び込みダイブに子供達も大興奮。
子供達のペースにも気遣ってもらって、１日海を、とても満喫出来ました。

After kayaking through the mangroves, we went for a bit of canyoning to Nara Falls. We swam across the pool with a lively family. We had a fantastic time listening to our guide Kaede talk about the nature of Iriomote Island, the Iriomote wildcat, and the crested serpent eagle.
In the afternoon, we leisurely crossed to Yufu Island while being rocked by water buffalo. The gelato was exquisite. They didn't have that 30 years ago when I came. I hardly felt the passage of time; it truly is a World Heritage site.

マングローブをカヤックで進んだ後、ちょっとしたキャニオニングでナーラの滝へ。滝壺を泳ぎ渡る元気なご家族連れとご一緒しました。ガイドのカエデさんから西表島の自然やイリオモテヤマネコやカンムリワシの話を聞きながら、最高に楽しい時間を過ごしました。
　午後はゆったりと水牛に揺られて由布島に渡る。ジェラートが絶品。30年前に来た時にはなかったな。あまり時間の流れを感じなかったのが、さすが世界遺産。

There is a cave with an entrance in the sea, and since a guide accompanied us to a place we couldn't access on our own, we were able to enjoy the tour safely! They took many photos for us, creating wonderful memories of Miyako Island!

海の中に入り口がある鍾乳洞で、個人では行けないところにガイドさんが着いてくださったので、安全に観光できました！
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、良い宮古島での思い出になりました！

Since it was a time of year with a lot of rain during the New Year holidays, I was concerned about the weather, but perhaps due to my usual conduct, we were not troubled by rain at all. Overall, I was able to create very enjoyable memories and am writing this experience report wrapped in a pleasant sense of fatigue.

We explored the mangrove wetlands by canoe, and for the first time, I experienced how the canoe could be unexpectedly swept away by strong headwinds. Everyone in the tour passed through safely without capsizing or crashing into the mangrove forest. The jungle trekking was cautious due to unstable footing from the rain the day before, and we proceeded carefully. After about a 25-minute march, we could see the roaring Pinai Sara Falls. The water volume had significantly increased due to the previous day's rain, and as we got closer, we were drenched by the spray, creating a waterfall-like atmosphere. Our guide took some wonderful commemorative photos for us. Originally, we planned to have our lunch at the base of the waterfall, but we changed our plans to eat after returning to the shop, and the warm miso soup provided by the staff was comforting.

Even though I was fully equipped for waterproofing, I ended up soaking wet at Pinai Sara Falls (but this became a good memory), and honestly, I felt like giving up when heading to the caving. Upon entering the cave, the water level had risen to waist-deep due to the previous day's rain, and I had to bend down to keep my face just above the water's surface while moving forward. I worried whether I could finish safely, but I heard that the beginning was the toughest part, so I switched my mindset and continued while admiring the fantastical sights of stalactites and stalagmites. At the final destination, even though it was winter, we were enveloped in the warm, divine light of the tropics, and the fulfilling one-day activity made all my fatigue disappear.

Thank you to our tour guide, Yabu. Not only did you provide explanations about the sightseeing spots along the way, but you also included academic discussions about the characteristics of the flora and fauna and why they have changed into their current forms. I learned about the preciousness of Iriomote Island's nature, which I could never have known from a guidebook, and I was extremely satisfied.

　年末年始の雨が多い時期の参加でしたので天候が懸念されましたが、普段の行いのせいか、雨に見舞われる事もなく全体としては非常に楽しい思い出を作ることができ、心地よい疲労感に包まれ体験記を書いています。
　カヌーでマングローブの湿地帯を探検、向い風が強いタイミングではカヌーが思いのほか流される事を始めて体験しました。ツアー全員が転覆する事もマングローブの林に突撃する事もなく無事通過。
ジャングルトレッキングは前日の雨で足場が不安定で滑るため慎重に歩を進めました。約25分の行軍の先に轟音を立てて流れ落ちるピナイサーラの滝が見えてきました。ここも前日の雨で相当水量が増えており、近づくと水しぶきでびしょ濡れとなり滝行の様相を呈していましたが、ガイドさんに素敵な記念写真を撮ってもらいました。本来は滝つぼでお弁当の予定でしたが、お弁当はショップに戻ってから摂る事に予定変更、スタッフさんが提供くださった温かい味噌汁が身体に染み込みます。
　完全防水のいで立ちで臨んだものの、ピナイサーラの滝でびしょ濡れ（でもこれが良い思い出になりました）になり、正直ケービングに向かうときは心が折れそうになっていました。洞窟に入るといきなり前日の雨の増水で腰の深さまで水嵩が増えており、腰をかがめると顔が水面スレスレまで近づきつつの前進で、無事完走できるか？心配がよぎりましたが、最初が一番の難関と聞き、気持ちを切り替え鍾乳石や石筍等の幻想的な光景を見ながら前進再開です。終着地点では冬とはいえ暖かく射し込む南国神々しい光に包まれ充実した１Dayアクティビティで最後は疲れが吹き飛びました。
　ツアーガイドのヤブさんありがとうございました。道中観光スポットの解説にとどまらず、動植物の特性やなぜこの様な形状に変化したのかと言った学術的なお話も盛り込んで解説頂き、絶対ガイドブックでは知ることができない西表島の自然の尊さを知ることがで大満足です。

I wanted to experience activities on Iriomote Island and also go snorkeling at Barasu Island, so I made a reservation here. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, the activities at Barasu Island were canceled, but I was able to choose between a full-day cancellation, a half-day cancellation, sightseeing, or other activities.

I received the cancellation notice around 1 PM the day before (I was delayed in returning the call due to my own circumstances), but they made the decision early, so I was able to spend my time without worry. Since it was a trip during the New Year holidays, I was informed that restaurants and supermarkets around the meeting point at the port would be closed, and that there might not be any bento available at the supermarket during the New Year. This valuable information allowed me to purchase a bento at a supermarket that was open that day.

We did canyoning in the morning and mangrove canoeing in the afternoon. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, to the point that you wouldn't believe they were a newcomer.

We were able to take a shower after each activity, which warmed us up.

They provide marine shoes, but you will need to return them after arrival and switch to your own footwear, so I think it would be good to have flip-flops or something that can get wet. They took a lot of great photos for us, which were wonderful and ones we couldn't have taken ourselves. (The photos can be sent via LINE.)

There are plenty of other activities available, so I want to go back to Iriomote Island! I would like to request PIPI again! This is a fantastic shop that I can recommend to everyone!

西表島のアクティビティを体験したい、尚且つバラス島でシュノーケリングがしたくてこちらを申し込みました。
結果は天候不良の為、バラス島でのアクティビティは中止になりましたが、1日キャンセルか半日キャンセル、観光、別のアクティビティを選ぶことができました。

中止の連絡は前日の13時頃に連絡があり（こちらの都合で折り返しの連絡は遅くなりました）、早めに判断してくださったので不安なく過ごせました。年末年始の旅行だったので、集合場所の港周辺の飲食店やスーパーが閉まっていること、スーパーでは年始はお弁当は販売していないかも・・という貴重な情報も教えていただけたので、その日のうちに営業しているスーパーでお弁当を購入することができました。

私たちは午前キャニオニング、午後マングローブカヌーでした。
ガイドさんは移住者とは思えないぐらいに知識が豊富な方でした。

アクティビティ毎にシャワーを浴びることができ、体が温まりました。

マリンシューズは貸してもらえますが、到着後返却して自分の履物に履き替えることになるので、濡れてもいいビーサンなどがあるといいと思いました。
写真も沢山撮ってもらえて、自分たちでは撮れない素敵な写真ばかりでした。（写真はLINEに送ってもらえます）

他のアクティビティも豊富なので、また西表島に行きたい！PIPIさんでお願いしたい！みなさんにご紹介できるはなまるなショップさんです。

About a month ago, I participated in a snorkeling and Pumpkin tour for the first time! The weather was bad, and we couldn't go to Pumpkin, but the experience and our guide Yuya were amazing, so I wanted to try again and made another reservation this time!! The wind was very strong, and I thought we might not be able to go again, but finally, we made it to Pumpkin.

The mystical limestone cave was certainly moving, but I was also touched by the fact that it is an important place for the locals and felt the history. Once again, Yuya provided fun, interesting, and thorough explanations.

My husband and I have become fans of Yuya (laughs). Thank you so much!

約1ヶ月前、シュノーケルとパンプキンのツアーで初めて参加しました！
天候が悪くパンプキンにはいけませんでしたが、その時の体験やガイドのゆーやさんが最高だったので、リベンジしたいと思い今回また予約をしてみました！！
風がとても強く、またダメか〜と思いましたが、、とうとうパンプキン。
神秘的な鍾乳洞はもちろん感動しましたが、地元の方の大切な場所であること、歴史を感じ感動しました。今回もゆーやさんが楽しく面白く丁寧に色々説明してくれました^_^

私達夫婦は、ゆーやさんのファンとなりました（笑）
本当にありがとうございました！

Even as beginners in canoeing and trekking, we had a great time. We are very grateful to our guide, Y, who kindly taught us various things and took many photos for us, including our elementary school children. Thank you very much!

カヌーやトレッキング初心者の我々でも楽しめました。
小学生の子供たちにも親切に色々教えて頂いたり、写真をたくさん撮っていただいたガイドのYさんにはとても感謝しております。
ありがとうございました！

In the morning, we went canoeing. In the afternoon, we were taken care of on a snorkeling tour. The weather was wonderful that day, and the scenery was beautiful! I was impressed by the amazing location where we had the canoeing experience.

In the afternoon, we moved to experience snorkeling. I was hopeful to see sea turtles, but there were no signs of them, and I was starting to give up. Just before the end, unexpectedly, we saw three of them! It became an unforgettable experience. I definitely hope to participate again next time. The staff were all wonderful people. Thank you very much for this experience.

午前中にカヌー。午後からシュノーケリングのツアーでお世話になりました。天気もこの日は素晴らしく、とても良い景色でした！
カヌー体験させていただく場所のロケーションが素晴らしく感動しました。
昼からは移動してシュノーケリングを体験させていただきました。運よければウミガメ見れると言うことで、期待していましたが、全然入る気配がなく諦めかけていた。終了間際にまさかの3匹！忘れられない体験になりました。次回も必ず参加希望です。スタッフの方も素敵な方ばかりでした。このたびはありがとうございました。
