I visited in early December, and the weather was just right—not too hot and not too cold—so I was able to enjoy it very comfortably! Fortunately, the weather was also great. Thank you very much! I'm glad I had the experience!
12月の上旬に行きましたが気候もちょうど良く、暑くも寒くもないくらいでとても快適に楽しめました！
お天気も幸いにも恵まれよかったです。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour in early December. I was very pleased to hear that the weather was just right—not too hot and not too cold—allowing you to enjoy your time comfortably. It seems you were also blessed with good weather, which allowed you to leisurely appreciate the nature of Iriomote Island, and that is wonderful to hear. Your comment, "I'm glad I could experience this," is a great encouragement for all the guides and staff. If you change the season or time of day for your next visit, you will encounter a different atmosphere of the mangroves, landscapes, and wildlife, so please come back to Iriomote Island again. We will do our best to ensure that your next visit is also a memorable experience.

It was cloudy, but the mystery was doubled! The guide said, "There is a beauty that is not affected by the weather," and that was truly the case. I could really feel the power of nature! I want to come back to Ishigaki Island again!
曇っていたけど神秘さ倍増でした！
ガイドさんが『天気に左右されない美しさがあるんです』と言ってくれて本当にその通りでした。

I had originally signed up for snorkeling, but due to weather reasons, it was changed to canoeing the day before. I participated with a sense of resignation, but in the end, I had a wonderful first-time experience. On the day of the activity, we had calm, sunny weather and high tide, which were great conditions. There were only four of us, so we had two canoes and were able to leisurely enjoy the mangrove forest. Riding the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was great, and the island had many interesting sights to see. Our guide also pointed out things like the Ryukyu wild boar and the crested serpent eagle along the way, and shared stories about life on the island, making the travel time very meaningful.
シュノーケル希望で申し込んでいた所、天候理由で前日にカヌーに変更になりました。仕方ないか〜の気持ちで参加したのですが、結果、初めての体験が出来てとても楽しめました。当日は無風の晴天、さらに満潮という好条件で、人数も4人で2艇、ゆっくりとマングローブの森を満喫できました。由布島も水牛車に乗ることももちろん、島内も見どころがあって良かったです。ガイドさんも道中に琉球いのししやカンムリワシなどを見つけて教えてくれたり、島での生活のことを話してくれたりして、移動時間も有意義に過ごせました。
Even if you don't fall out of the canoe, your lower body will get wet, but you can borrow a shower, so there's no need to worry.
カヌーは落ちなくても下半身は濡れますが、シャワーも借りられるので安心です。

It was my first time snorkeling, and the thorough and enjoyable explanations made it a lot of fun to appreciate the stunning underwater scenery. They were always attentive to my health and condition, allowing me to focus on the activity without feeling any danger until the very end, which was great!
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが丁寧で楽しい説明でとても楽しく水中の絶景を楽しめました。
体調や調子には常に気を遣っていただき、最後まで身の危険を感じることなくアクティビティに集中できてとても良かったです！
Thank you for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour!
I was thrilled to be in charge of your first snorkeling experience, and I hope that taking a commemorative photo with the sea turtles became a wonderful memory for you ^_^

I thought it might be cold with a temperature of around 25°C, but when the sun was out, it felt warm, and while paddling on the SUP, it was actually quite hot! I was able to swim just fine while wearing a wetsuit for snorkeling! The guide was always attentive to our well-being, which made it easy to enjoy ourselves. 🤙 The sea and river weren't crowded at all, so we could move around freely and leisurely. I think coming here in winter could be a great option!
気温は25℃くらいで寒いかなと思いましたが、太陽が出ていると暖かく、SUPは漕いでいるとむしろ暑いくらいでした！シュノーケリングもウェットスーツを着用したら全然泳げました！
ガイドさんが常に体調を気にかけてくださるので安心して楽しめました🤙
海も川も混雑しておらず、のんびり自由に動けるので、あえて冬に来るのもありかなと思います。
The guide took a lot of photos and will send them to you on the same day, so I recommend leaving your smartphone behind and focusing on the activities!
写真はガイドさんがたくさん撮ってくださり、当日中に送ってくださるので、スマホは置いて行ってアクティビティに集中することをおすすめします！

I participated in a tour to enjoy the Pumpkin Cave and kayaking in Miyako Island! It lasted about two hours, but it was a fulfilling experience where I could fully appreciate the beauty of nature. The time spent kayaking in the crystal-clear sea was pleasant, and I was overwhelmed by the coolness of the cave and the mystical scenery, truly enjoying the feeling of exploration. Our guide, Yuri, was bright and knowledgeable, making the experience very enjoyable. Additionally, he provided guidance in English for international visitors, which is reassuring for those from abroad. There were also careful and safety-conscious instructions and support, making it comfortable even for those who are not good at swimming. We were able to take many photos, making it a tour that will create unforgettable memories.
宮古島でパンプキン鍾乳洞とカヤックを楽しむツアーに参加しました！2時間くらいでしたが、大自然の魅力を存分に味わえる充実の体験でした。透明度抜群の海をカヤックで進む時間は心地よく、鍾乳洞では涼しい洞内と神秘的な景色に圧倒され、探検気分も満喫できます。ガイドの「ユーリ」さんの明るく知識が豊富なガイドでとても楽しめました。また海外の方向けに英語でもガイドしてくださっていたので海外の方でも安心です。また丁寧で安全面に配慮した指示やサポートもあり泳ぎが苦手でも安心です。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえ、忘れられない思い出になるツアーです。
Thank you for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour!
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed sea kayaking in the clear waters of December and the mysterious Pumpkin Cave. Your appreciation for the high visibility of the sea, the scenery inside the cave, as well as our safety measures and English support, is truly encouraging.

On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and we were unable to carry out the intended tour, but we were able to conduct an alternative tour. The staff's attitude during this situation was polite and commendable. I felt that I would like to use this tour guide again next time.
ツアー当日の海が荒れており、目的のツアーを実施することができませんでしたが、出来るツアーを実施させていただきました。

Since it was winter and the water temperature was low, I was unsure until the last minute about whether to participate, but I'm glad I did. The waves were high, and I was a bit scared, so I mostly clung to the float, but I was happy to make it to the cave safely. The wonderful guide was very attentive from start to finish. In the evening, I enjoyed butter-grilled fish at the place the brother recommended! I heard he will be training in Palau, so please take care and have a great time!
冬なので水温が低く、直前までどうしようか迷っていましたが、参加してよかったです。波が高くてビビッてしまい、ほとんど浮き輪につかまったままでしたが、無事に洞窟まで行けて嬉しかったです。素敵なガイドさんが最初から最後までとても丁寧に対応してくださいました。夜はお兄さんに教えてもらったお魚やさんでバター焼きいただきました！！パラオでの修行をされるそうで、お気をつけて行ってきてください！！

In December, the weather was cloudy, and I thought it would be cold to participate, but I was able to experience kayaking without any particular issues.
My lower body got wet and the water was cold, but given the local climate, it wasn't freezing.
We progressed along a route surrounded by mangroves and made a stop along the way. We received explanations about the island's plants and creatures.
It was very educational.

It was a wonderful tour. We gathered at Uehara Port and after about 40 minutes, we arrived at the water buffalo riding area, and then we headed to Yufu Island. There were many water buffaloes. We had just under an hour of free time here, which was enough to explore. After that, we returned to Uehara Port for lunch. Our guide recommended a delicious restaurant. We went into a pork cutlet place and were very satisfied. (Meals are not included.) After that, we went on the main mangrove canoe tour. The guide taught us how to paddle, and we were off to challenge ourselves. Time flew by in no time. Even as a beginner, I was able to paddle easily. Your lower body will get wet before you start paddling, so a change of clothes is necessary. The guide takes photos with the mangroves, so there's no need to bring a smartphone or camera. The guides were all very nice people.
素晴らしいツアーでした。上原港集合で約40分で水牛乗り場へ。そしては由布島へ。水牛が沢山いました。ここで1時間弱の自由時間。十分回れました。そして再び上原港へ。そこでランチ。美味しいお店をガイドさんから紹介されました。豚カツのお店に入り、大満足。(食事は込みではありません。)その後メインのマングローブカヌーツアーへ。ガイドさんから漕ぎ方を教わり、いざチャレンジ。あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。初心者の私でも簡単に漕ぐ事ができました。下半身は漕ぐ前から濡れますので、着替えは必要です。マングローブと一緒にガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれるので、スマートフォンや、カメラ持ち込み不要です。ガイドさんは皆さんとっても良い人達でした。
Be sure to bring a change of clothes, water, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
是非着替えと水、サングラスと日焼け止めを忘れずに。

It was my first experience, and I was very nervous, but I was able to relax thanks to the smiling support of our guide, Ishii. As we paddled through the mangrove forest in the canoe, I was able to experience the dynamism of nature and the diversity of living creatures. The explanations were clear, and I had a very fulfilling and enjoyable time.
初めての体験でとても緊張しましたが、ガイドの石井さんの笑顔の対応でリラックスできました。マングローブの林をカヌーで進むにつれて、自然のダイナミックさや生き物の多様性を体感できました。分かりやすく説明して下さってとても充実した楽しい時間でした。

From 9:00 to 11:00, I experienced canoeing on the Pumpkin Tour in Miyako Island. As we slowly glided through the emerald-colored sea, entering the cave felt like stepping into another world. The gentle rocking of the canoe and the scent of the tide were delightful, allowing me to fully feel the grandeur of nature. It was an exhilarating and mystical first-time experience. Ryoma-san was an excellent guide!
At 11:00, we dispersed for lunch break. Since we had some time, we went for lunch and drove to Higashi-Hennazaki. We had the leisure to stroll along Ingyabīchi Beach and visit a café. I was able to relax more than I expected, and since I had used up energy canoeing, it was great to recover.
From 14:00 to 15:30, I had a stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience at Ingyabīchi Beach. There were no people around due to the season, so I had the beach all to myself! I enjoyed a relaxing time with the instructor, Mayu-chan! It cleared up and got warm halfway through, which was truly wonderful.
From 16:00 to 17:30, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling! The underwater scenery was beautiful, and I saw coral reefs and clownfish. They took me to places I couldn't reach on my own. Although there were waves and I couldn't swim, they let me hold onto a float and I only had to paddle with my feet, which was really helpful. Thank you, Gen-chan!
I love Okinawa and have participated in tours many times, but every guide from Pipi-san has been kind and friendly! I was able to enjoy at my own pace. I am truly grateful. They took many beautiful photos, and each one is a treasure!
When I come to Miyako Island again, I will definitely book a tour with Pipi-san!
Thank you so much!
9:00-11:00 宮古島のパンプキンツアーでカヌー体験をしました。エメラルド色の海をゆっくり進み、洞窟に入る瞬間はまるで別世界。カヌーの揺れと潮の香りが心地よく、自然の雄大さを全身で感じられる時間でした。ドキドキワクワクと、神秘的な気持ちになり初めての体験でした。リョーマさんのガイド最高でした！
11:00〜解散し各自お昼休憩。時間があったのでランチと東平安名崎ドライブに行きました。余裕がありインギャービーチの散歩とカフェもできました。思ったよりゆっくりでき、カヌーで体力使っていたので回復できてよかった。
14:00-15:30インギャービーチでsup体験。時期的に人がいなくビーチを独り占め！のんびりできインストラクターのまゆちゃんと楽しみました！途中で晴れてきてあったかくて本当に最高。
16:00-17:30シギラビーチに移動しシュノーケリング！海の中は綺麗で珊瑚礁やニモも見れました。自分では行けない遠くまで連れて行ってくれました。波があり泳げなかったのですが浮き輪に捕まらせてくれて足で漕ぐだけで大丈夫でした、本当に助かりました。げんちゃんありがとうございます！
沖縄好きでなんどもツアー体験していますが、ピピさんはどのガイドさんも優しくて親切！！自分たちのペースで楽しむことができました。本当に感謝しています。写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、どれも綺麗で宝物です！
宮古島に来たらまた必ずピピさんでツアー予約させていただきたいです！
本当にありがとうございました！
If you have free time and no change of clothes, it can get cold, so it's good to have a few swimsuits prepared to change into each time. It would be nice to have some sweatpants or similar that you do
空き時間があり着替えがないと寒い、水着数着用意してその都度着替えていた。汚れてもいいスウェットなどあると良い。大きいビニール袋(40Lとか)数枚あると大変便利。体力消耗するので軽食あると良い。

Since Pipi often conducts tours with relatively large groups, I was a bit apprehensive about potential waiting times, and I heard mixed reviews about it. However, to share the outcome, it turned out to be an amazing tour!
Indeed, there were some waiting times (like during equipment collection and waiting for showers), but I considered those small breaks during the tour, which I actually appreciated! Our guide, Shogo, named our group "Shogo Team," which allowed us to enjoy the experience together with the other participants.
The kayaking experience was a bit challenging due to the weather and strong winds, but we were taken to a field where we could fully appreciate Iriomote Island. Since we were going to get wet anyway, the rain didn't bother me at all, and I had a great time!
Iriomote is quite large, so during our car rides, Shogo shared interesting facts about the island, mixing in humor, which made for a very enjoyable time! He also recommended some great places to eat!
The place where we had lunch seemed to have a proprietor who wasn't fond of media or reviews, so I won’t mention the name, but it was truly a delicious local diner. If you go, I highly recommend asking Shogo for directions!
The timing for visiting Yubu Island was just right, allowing us to explore without rushing or feeling like we had too much time on our hands. The cakes, coffee, and ice cream at Yubu Island Tea House were exceptional, so I definitely recommend trying them!
It seems that the timing for riding the water buffalo cart can vary greatly depending on the buffalo, but the one we had was just right—not too fast and not too slow! Listening to the sanshin was a nice touch that felt very Okinawan!
This tour might not be suitable for those who prefer smaller groups, but I was very satisfied! Thank you!
比較的多い人数でツアー催行をするpipiさんなので待ち時間が発生したりと、評判も良い悪い半々くらいなのでどうかなあ〜と思いながらの参加でしたが....結果からお伝えするとすっごくいいツアーでした！
たしかに待ち時間が発生(道具の回収中やシャワーの順番待ち等)しましたが、ツアー中の小休憩と思えばむしろ私にはありがたい時間でした！
ガイドさんのショウゴさんが｢ショウゴチーム｣と名付けてくれたので参加者の方々と一緒に楽しめることが出来ました！
カヤック体験は天候が悪め、風が強めでしたが西表をめいいっぱい感じれるフィールドに連れて行って貰えて、どうせ濡れるので雨は全く気にならず楽しめました！
西表は大きいので車での移動中も西表の豆知識を笑いと織り交ぜながら話してくれるのでとっても楽しい時間でした！
お勧めのご飯屋さんも教えてくれます！
お昼ご飯を食べたところは店主さんがメディアや口コミが好きじゃないみたいなのであえて店名は伏せますが本当に美味しい島の定食屋さんだったので是非行かれる方はショウゴさんに聞いて伺って見てほしいです！
由布島も丁度いい時間設定なので、急いで回ることもなく、時間を持て余すのこともなく由布島を観光できました！
由布島茶屋さんのケーキ、由布島コーヒー、アイスは絶品なので是非食べて欲しいです！
水牛さんによって水牛車の乗車時間が大きくズレる見たいですが今回の水牛さんは早すぎず遅すぎずナイスな水牛さんでした！三線を聞けるのも沖縄らしくて良きでした！
少人数を好む人には向いてないかもしれませんが私は満足でした！
ありがとうございました！
Thank you so much for your kind words in your review! I'm truly encouraged to hear that you enjoyed the sense of unity with the "Shogo Team" even among a large group tour. It's wonderful to know that you positively embraced the dynamic environment of Iriomote Island, even in rainy and windy conditions. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the conversations during the journey and fully experience the day, including Yubu Island and the water buffalo cart ride. I'm also happy to hear that you liked the recommended restaurant. We aim to create tours that make even those who prefer smaller groups feel that it was worth participating, and we will continue to strive for safe and enjoyable experiences. Please come back to Iriomote Island again soon!

The activities on Iriomote Island were an experience where I could fully feel the energy of nature. Canoeing on the Urauchi River was more challenging than I had imagined, as I struggled against the wind and waves while paddling hard. However, thanks to our guide, Shogo, who provided precise advice, and the shallow waters of the river, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
After two hours of canoeing, we were introduced to a local dining spot near Uehara Port, which was also great. In the afternoon, the sightseeing at Yubu Island was soothing, with beautiful views from the water buffalo and cart, allowing us to fully enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island.
Even during the car rides, the interesting stories about the unique plants, animals, and customs of Iriomote Island made the experience memorable, and I found myself recalling them in various moments throughout our stay. I heard a story about hunting boars using natural traps, and that evening, I enjoyed delicious boar sashimi at an izakaya that you can't find in Tokyo!
My husband and I are already discussing what we should do next time we come. I would like to challenge myself with a longer trekking experience next time. If that happens, I hope to rely on you again, Pipi!
西表島でのアクティビティは大自然のエネルギーを身体いっぱい感じる体験でした。
浦内川でのカヌーは想像していたより、風や波と格闘しながら必死に漕ぎましたが、ガイドの勝吾さんの的確なアドバイスや、川も浅いので安心して楽しめました。
2時間カヌー、その後上原港近くではローカルな食事処を紹介いただきそれもよかったです。午後の由布島観光は水牛や牛車からの景色に癒され西表島の自然を満喫しました。
移動の車中も貴重な西表島の動植物や慣習などのお話が面白く、滞在中色んな場面で思い出していました。自然の罠だけで猪狩りをする話を聞き、その晩は居酒屋さんで東京では食べられない猪のタタキを美味しくいただきました！！
次来たら何しようと主人と既に話しています。次回は時間長めのトレッキングなどもチャレンジしたいです。その際はまたpipiさん、よろしくお願いします！！
Please make sure to get enough sleep before participating. The local lunch was paid for in cash.
睡眠よく摂って参加してください。
ローカルのランチは現金でお支払いでした。
Thank you for your heartfelt review! I'm truly glad to hear that you were able to fully experience the great nature of Iriomote Island with the canoeing on the Urauchi River, and that you enjoyed the authentic paddling experience with the support of our staff, feeling safe and secure. After a fulfilling two hours on the water, it was wonderful to hear that you savored the island's flavors at a local diner near Uehara Port, and that you had a relaxing sightseeing experience in the afternoon at Yubu Island, enjoying the stunning views from the water buffalo cart.

The stories about the local flora and fauna and the tradition of boar hunting shared during the car ride became the highlight of your trip, and our entire staff was thrilled to hear that it led to the episode of enjoying boar sashimi that night. Since you and your spouse are already planning your next adventure, let's discover more of Iriomote's charm together with PiPi. We look forward to welcoming you again!

I participated with a friend. I have experienced introductory diving several times before, but I have never been able to dive in such clear waters, so I was very moved!
Even beginners receive careful support, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. I want to go again as soon as possible...! (laughs)
What stands out in my memory is, without a doubt, the blue sea and the crystal-clear water that I have never seen before! I was able to see countless fish and coral up close, making it a wonderful experience.
The staff were all cheerful and kind, creating a very lovely memory. I would definitely like to do this again!
友人と2人で参加しました。
今まで体験ダイビングは何回か経験していますが、ここまで透明な海で、しっかりと潜れたことはなかったので、とても感動しました！

I have been interested in mangroves for a while, so I decided to participate in this tour. It was just as I expected, and I was able to see the beautiful nature and mangroves. We could explore at a leisurely pace, and I was also able to see a white heron walking, which was very soothing. On the day of the tour, the wind was strong, and we were only able to go by canoe. The tour guide provided thorough explanations, and although there were times when it was a bit challenging due to the strong wind, they supported us when things didn't go smoothly. We participated as a pair, and along the way, we were able to take photos and videos in the mangroves, which created great memories that we often look back on. Additionally, even when participating by canoe, water came in, so my lower body got quite wet. I felt it was necessary to wear clothes that could get wet, like a swimsuit, and to bring a change of clothes.
以前よりマングローブに興味があり、参加しました。期待通りの大自然、マングローブを見ることができました。ゆっくりと探検することができ、途中シロサギが歩く姿も見ることができ癒されました。当日は風が強く、カヌーのみの案内でした。ツアーガイドさんも丁寧に説明していただきましたし、ツアー中風が強く少し大変な時もありましたが、うまくいかないときはフォローしてくれました。2人で参加したのですが、途中、マングローブの中で写真や動画も撮っていただき、いい思い出になり見返したりしています。また、カヌーで参加の場合でも水が入ってくるので、下半身はけっこう濡れました。水着等濡れていい服で参加の上、着替えも必要と感じました。
If you lack confidence in your physical strength, I think canoeing is recommended!
体力に自信のない方はカヌーがおすすめかと思います！

The guide's instructions were thorough and reassuring! Even for those who are not good at swimming, they encouraged us with "Let's take it slow and not rush," which was very comforting. The moment I saw the sea turtle, I was so moved that I almost cried!
ガイドさんの案内が丁寧で安心！泳ぎが苦手でも【焦らずゆっくり行きましょう】も声をかけてくれて心強かった。ウメガメを見た瞬間、涙が出るほど感動した！

"On the way to the limestone cave by canoe, I was able to see the Ryukyu coral limestone and the mysterious shapes of the cliffs. Inside the cave, I felt the greatness of nature with the sparkling stalactites and the flowing water! I was very satisfied!!
When I went snorkeling, as soon as I entered the water, there were so many fish swimming around like in an aquarium, which was really moving! The water clarity was great, and I even got to see a sea turtle! The guide taught us a lot about the islands and nature, and they also took care of my health, allowing me to participate with peace of mind. Thank you very much! ♪"
"鍾乳洞に向かうまでのカヌーでは、琉球珊瑚石灰岩が見れたり、不思議な崖の形見ることができ、鍾乳洞の中では、キラキラ光る鍾乳石や湧き出る水など自然の偉大さを感じました！
大満足です！！
シュノーケルは、海に入ってすぐ水族館のようにたくさんのお魚が泳いでおりすごく感動でした！透明度もよく、ウミガメにも会えました！
ガイドさんがたくさん島や自然について教えてくれて、また体調も気にしていただき安心して参加できました。
ありがとうございました♪"

I can't forget the brilliance of the Blue Cave! The guide's instructions were perfect, and I was able to enjoy the cave without getting lost. The photo data is also amazing, and I've been looking back at them many times!
青の洞窟の輝きが忘れられない！
ガイドさんの案内が完璧で、迷うことなく洞窟の中を楽しめた。写真データも最高で、何度も見返してる！

I had a fulfilling tour where I could fully experience the nature of Miyako Island in just one day. I was particularly impressed by the mystical scenery in the Pumpkin Cave. Inside the cave, it was cool, and I could enjoy the unique atmosphere of exploration. I heard that once it is registered as a cultural heritage site, we won't be able to enter anymore, so now is the chance.
The kayak ride to the cave was amazing as we glided through the crystal-clear sea, feeling the sea breeze and becoming one with nature. The sea turtle snorkeling was exhilarating as I actually got to encounter sea turtles!
Our guide, Gen-chan, was kind and attentive to safety, making it a tour that I believe everyone, from children to adults, can enjoy.
1日で宮古島の自然を存分に体験でき、とても充実したツアーでした。
特にパンプキン鍾乳洞では神秘的な景色に感動。洞窟の中は涼しく、独特の雰囲気で探検気分が味わえました。文化遺産に登録されたらもう中に入れなくなるらしく、今がチャンスとのことでした。
洞窟までのカヤックは、透明度の高い海を滑るように進み、潮風を感じながら自然と一体になれる体験が最高でした。
ウミガメシュノーケリングは、実際にウミガメに出会えて大興奮でした！
ガイドの「げんちゃん」さんも親切で、安全面への配慮もしっかりしていて、子どもから大人まで楽しめるツアーだと思います。

I arrived at the location without having made many reservations for tours in advance, but I thought, "Since I'm here, I want to try some marine activities!" and decided to book this tour.
During the snorkeling, I naturally interacted with other participants and was able to leisurely enjoy the sea filled with corals and colorful fish. It was my second time snorkeling in my life and my first time in Japan, but thanks to Ryoma's precise explanations and the "photo time," I was able to relax and fully enjoy the experience. And to my surprise, we encountered a sea turtle! The moment when everyone gathered and swam together at the shout of "Turtle!!" from a participant is something I will never forget.
After enjoying the underwater experience, we moved on to stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. We started with learning how to paddle, but Ryoma kept the atmosphere lively with humor, and before I knew it, I was able to try standing up and even challenging poses! Spending time on the board while feeling the waves and wind was incredibly relaxing and wonderful.
The experience was so fulfilling that it felt like much more than just a morning activity, and I was able to spend a very meaningful time without any rush.
Even though it was a last-minute reservation, I was able to not just "see" the sea of Miyako Island, but to "feel it with my body," and it truly became the best memory!
ツアーの事前予約もほとんどしていない状態で現地に降り立ちましたが、
「せっかくならマリンアクティビティをしたい！」と思い立って、このツアーを予約しました。
シュノーケリングでは、他の参加者さんとも自然に交流が生まれ、
サンゴやカラフルな魚たちが泳ぐ海をのんびり楽しむことができました。
人生2度目、日本では初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、
Ryomaさんの的確な解説と“写真タイム”のおかげで安心して満喫できました。
そしてなんと、ウミガメにも遭遇！
参加者さんの「Turtle!!」の声でみんなが一斉に集まって泳いだあの瞬間は、一生忘れられません。
海の中を楽しんだあとは、初めてのSUP。
最初は漕ぎ方を教わるところから始まりましたが、
りょーまっするさんが笑いを交えながら盛り上げてくださり、
気づけば立ち漕ぎやチャレンジングなポーズにも挑戦できるように！
波や風を感じながらボードの上で過ごす時間は、とてもリラックスできて最高でした。
午前中だけの体験とは思えないほど内容が充実していて、
慌ただしさもなく、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。
急な予約でしたが、宮古島の海を“見るだけ”ではなく、
“体で感じる”ことができ、本当に最高の思い出になりました！
The transfer from snorkeling to SUP is by private car. Since there are no showers available nearby, it's a good idea to have a water bottle, wet wipes, and a larger towel with you.
シュノーケリングからSUPへの移動は自家用車です。近くにすぐ使えるシャワーなどはないため、水のボトルやウェットティッシュ、大きめのタオルがあるといいです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour and for your warm review!
I'm really glad you got to see the sea turtles!
At first, you seemed a bit anxious about stand-up paddleboarding, but you did really well!
Please come back to Miyako Island again and visit us.
From 'Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi', Ryoma

Today, the ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was canceled due to rough seas caused by high waves, and there were no departures to Uehara Port. The day before, I received a call from the operating company, pipi, informing me of this.
As a result, I purchased a ticket for the 7:30 ferry to Uehara Port and took a substitute bus provided by the ferry company via Ohara Port. This part was a bit complicated. The entire journey took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and I arrived at Uehara Port at 9:00. The morning was sunny, but it was mostly cloudy with occasional sunshine.
From there, I participated in a two-person canoe activity in the morning, and the water was cold. The instructor, Naoki, who had an afro, guided us calmly through the course, which was quite soothing. We paddled from the river mouth into increasingly narrow mangrove forests. As it was my first time canoeing, my girlfriend and I struggled to synchronize our movements and ended up going in circles.
For lunch, it took about 1.5 hours. Although it was the off-season, there were about five restaurants open. We went to Island Garden Mine. I chose squid ink yakisoba and squid ink fried rice, which were excellent. My blackened teeth looked quite stylish.
On the way from Uehara Port to Yufu Island, I heard Naoki mention that he had once seen an Iriomote wildcat on this road, so I was carefully looking along the roadside. Well, I didn’t see any!!
Finally, the water buffalo cart ride to Yufu Island, with the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island in the background, was a must-see. At first, I thought it might be boring, but the sight of the water buffalo crossing the sea was quite charming and lovely. I actually preferred Yufu Island over the canoeing experience. A one-hour stroll around Yufu Island was just right.
On the way back, I was able to catch the 16:30 ferry to Ishigaki Island.
At 35 years old, I felt a bit fatigued but was very satisfied. Initially, I considered a canoeing and snorkeling tour, but I think this was the better choice.
本日は石垣島から西表島へ渡るフェリーが海上が大波によるしけのため、上原港行きが出航なしとなる。前日この話は運営会社pipiから電話が来ました。
そのため、0730の上原港行きのチケットを購入し、大原港経由でフェリー会社からの代替バスで行きました。ここが少し難解でした。全体で1時間30分程度かかり0900上原港へ到着。朝は晴れていたが基本曇り時々晴れ。
そこから、午前中は2人乗りカヌーのアクティビティへ、水は冷たい。インストラクターはアフロの直くん、落ち着いた語り口調でコースを回り、癒されました。河口からどんどん細いマングローブ林へ。初めてのカヌーは彼女となかなか息が会わず右往左往。
お昼は、1.5hr程度で。シーズンオフですが、お店は五件程度ありました。島ガーデン嶺へ。イカスミヤキソバ、イカスミチャーハンを選んで◎。黒くなった歯は、キマッテル。
上原港から由布島に行く間も、直くんの話で、この道で1度だけイリオモテヤマネコを見たと言う話を聞いて、路肩をくまなく見てました。まぁ、いない！！
最後に由布島は、雄大な西表島の自然をバックに由布島に向けて歩く水牛車は、必見でした。最初は退屈かなと思いましたが、海を渡る水牛はなかなか風情がありステキでした。カヌーより由布島の方が私は好きでした。由布島は、1時間程度散策でちょうどよいです。
帰りは1630の石垣島行きフェリーに乗れました。
35歳ですが少し疲労度もありながら、大満足でした。最初は、カヌー&シュノーケリングツアーも考えましたが、こっちでよかったかな。

The colors of the Blue Cave looked gentle! The guide smiled and said, "Today, the blue has a soft feeling, which is nice," and that expression was just perfect. It was a time that brought peace to my heart.
青の洞窟の色が優しく見えた！ ガイドさんが「今日は青がやわらかい感じでいいですよ」と笑ってくれて、その表現がぴったり。心が穏やかになる時間だった。
