All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

Best views from 200 meters! I would recommend anyone who is adventurous and don’t mind heights.

At 9 AM, we gathered at Shinjo Beach, surrounded by shallow waters and coral, where the waves were calm and perfect for swimming. During snorkeling, we were able to see small fish hiding among the corals, and to our surprise, we encountered three sea turtles just about four minutes after starting to swim! ^_^ It was a wonderful experience. Mao, our tour guide, shared various sightseeing knowledge with us, and he was warm and attentive to every detail. I would love to experience this tour again with my family.

朝9時に遠浅で珊瑚に囲まれた海は波も穏やかで、泳ぎやすいビーチ新城海岸で集合し、シュノーケリングでは珊瑚の陰に小さな魚を見ることもでき、泳ぎ始めて4分くらいでまさかのウミガメさん！(3匹)に会えました^_^
とてもいい体験でした。　
ツアーのマオさんからいろんな観光知識を教えて頂きました。暖かくて細かいところまで気を配りました。また家族と一緒にこのツアーを体験したいと思います。

I was a bit worried since I had a 4-year-old child, but my child was absolutely thrilled!! Next time, I want to try the banana boat! The instructor was really nice too!

4才の子供がいたので大丈夫かなと思いましたが、子供は大喜び！！
今度はバナナボートをやりたいです！インストラクターもとってもいい人でした！

My first canoeing experience was easier than I expected, and even someone like me who isn't good at sports was able to enjoy it without any problems. The cheerful instructor, the beautiful river, and the joyful laughter all made for the best memories. I participated in my swimsuit and got into the car just as I was. I think a larger towel might be necessary. It was helpful that we were taken directly to the hotel.

初めてのカヌーは思ったより簡単で、スポーツ苦手な私でも問題なく楽しめました。
明るいインストラクターと美しい川平の海、楽しい笑い声、全てが最高の思い出になりました。
水着のまま参加して、終わったらそのまま車に乗ります。大きめのタオルは必要かな。ホテルに直行してもらえたのは助かりました。

Booking this tour was definitely the right choice. Riding a kayak on the wide sea with a pleasant breeze and watching the sunset slowly sink into the water was amazing. This is partly thanks to the weather, so in a sense, luck is involved, but the charm of this tour lies elsewhere.

In a word, the tour guide was wonderful. They provided careful support for beginners in kayaking, so there was absolutely no anxiety! More than that, they taught us how to enjoy the experience. They pointed out things like, "Look, there's a rainbow over there," "The clouds are shaped like that," and "The sky over there is such a beautiful color," finding various things to share with us from the same perspective, creating excitement, and enjoying the experience together. Thanks to this, I created many memories beyond just thinking, "That was beautiful."

Even if the weather were to be cloudy, I believe this guide would definitely show us how to enjoy the moment and help us create wonderful memories. I truly appreciate everything. Thank you very much!!

こちらのツアーに申し込んで大正解でした。
気持ちの良い風が吹く広い海の上でカヤックに乗り、ゆっくり海に沈んでいく夕日を見るのは、最高です。
…と、これは天気のおかげなので、ある意味運が必要ですが、こちらのツアーの魅力は、また別にあります。

一言でいうと、ツアーガイドの方が素晴らしかったです。カヤック初心者でも丁寧にサポートしてくれるので、不安は全く無し！というのは当たり前で、何よりも「楽しみ方」を教えてくれます。
「あそこ、虹が出てますよ」「雲があんな形をしてる」「あそこの空が、あんな色をしてて綺麗ですね」といった具合に、我々と同じ目線で色々な事を見つけ、盛り上げ、教えてくれて、一緒に楽しんでくれます。
おかげで、「綺麗だったなー」だけでなく、上記のようないろんな思い出が出来ました。

もし、仮に天候に恵まれずに曇りだったとしても、、このガイドさんなら、必ずその時の「楽しみ方」を教えてくれて、素敵な思い出を作ってくれると思います。本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました！！

The experience itself and the personality of the instructor were perfect. It was a lifelong memory. They taught us everything from the basics of snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding to helpful tips with great care. I was really happy that they took so many photos for us. I would love to use their services again, and if I know anyone going to Miyako Island, I would definitely recommend them! During the session, there was a family with children, and I saw the instructor calling the child's name and interacting with them, which made me think this would be great for families as well.

体験自体も、教えてくださる方の人柄も完璧でした。一生の思い出です。
シュノーケリング、supの基本部分から、アドバイスまで一貫して丁寧に教えてくださりました。
写真もたくさん撮っていだだけで本当に嬉しかったです。次も利用させてもらいたいし、宮古島に行く知り合いがいればおすすめしたいです！！
一緒に参加している中で、お子様連れの方がいましたが、そのお子様の名前を呼んであげたりして、仲良くしている姿を見て、家族連れの方にもおすすめしたいと思いました。

I used this service because I wanted to show my young daughter the underwater world. The price was reasonable, and all the staff were very kind, making for a very enjoyable time. We moved to Coral Point while sitting on the deck, and after arriving at the point, we moved to the bottom of the boat, which felt like being submerged in the sea. I was impressed by that system alone. We were able to see many fish, and my daughter was very satisfied. Additionally, at Motobu Genki Village, there were many activities, including playing with dolphins, which we participated in on-site. I am grateful for the memorable experience I had with my daughter.

幼い娘に海の中を見せたくて利用しました。
お値段もお手頃な上にスタッフの方々も皆さん親切で、とても楽しい時間でした。
コーラルポイントまで甲板に座り移動し、ポイントに着いてから船底に移動しそこの部分が海の中に入る感じでした。そのシステムだけでも感激でした。そして、沢山のお魚を見ることが出来て娘も大満足でした。
また、こちらのもとぶげんき村ではイルカと遊べたりと他にも沢山のアクティビティがあり現地で参加させて頂きました。
思い出深い体験を娘とできた事を感謝致します。

With clear skies and during the low tide of a big tide, I was able to enjoy the best conditions. I had my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in a bay surrounded by wave-dissipating blocks, gliding over the crystal-clear sea. It turned out to be surprisingly easy, and I felt like I was riding on the Nimbus cloud with Son Goku. You can ride standing up or sitting down, both are fine. I even spotted a sea snake swimming below, which was a bit scary. Mashi took a lot of photos, and I have plenty of memories to cherish. I definitely want to try it again!

快晴の中、大潮の干潮時間と言うことで、最高のコンディションで楽しめることが出来ました。
波消しブロックの中の湾で、透き通るような海の上を初めてのSUPを楽しめました。
やってみると意外なほど簡単で、孫悟空のキント雲に乗ってる気分です。立って乗っても、座って乗ってもOK。
下を泳ぐウミヘビも見かけ、ちと怖かった(^^;
まーしーがたくさんの写真を撮ってくれて、思い出がいっぱい残りました。
是非また乗ってみたいです。

The guides were kind enough to teach us, beginners in both SAP and snorkeling, in a way that we could understand. They also supported us in areas where we felt anxious or struggled, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

There were a few other groups on the tour with us, but the guides made sure to facilitate conversations among participants, which helped us bond and have a great time. The guides seemed to genuinely enjoy their work, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to participate again.

SAPもシュノーケリングも初心者のわたしたちでもできるよう、親切に教えてくださりました。また、不安なところ、苦手なところはガイドの方にフォローいただき楽しむことができました。
自分達以外の数組も一緒のツアーでしたが、参加者同士も仲良くなれるよう会話など配慮いただきとても楽しむことができました。
ガイドの方も心から楽しそうにお仕事されており、雰囲気がとても良かったです。
また機会があれば是非こちらに参加したいと思っております。

I participated in the 3-point swimming plan!!

The first point was Nagannu Island, and it was great◎
The second point was Turtle Point, and it was also great◎
The third point was beautiful, but I felt like it didn't have a clear highlight, so it was a bit disappointing△!!

Overall, I was satisfied with the volume of the plan!

There was just one thing I was concerned about. I could hear real warnings and scoldings among the staff, and if I were in the same position, I wouldn't want to hear that, so I recommend handling it behind the scenes!!

I had a lot of fun☆

I look forward to visiting again next time.

3ポイントを泳ぐプランに参加しました！！

一つ目のポイントはナガンヌ島でとても◎
二つ目のポイントはカメさんポイントでとても◎
三つ目のポイントは？？？って感じで綺麗だったけど何が売りのポイントって感じで△でした！！

だけど全体的にプランのボリュームに満足させて頂きました！

あと一点だけ気になったところ。
スタッフ間のリアルな注意や説教が聞こえてきて
同じ立場だったら聞かれたくないと思ったので裏でやる事をオススメします！！

楽しかったです☆

また遊びに来た時はよろしくお願いします。

I was guided with some little information about Iriomote Island and explanations about nature, which made the experience fresh as I could understand more about the island! Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle while snorkeling, so I am very satisfied.

西表島のプチ情報や、自然についての解説をしながら案内してくれたので、西表島のことを理解しながら体験できるというのが新鮮でした！
またシュノーケリングでは運良くカメくんにも出会えたのでとても満足しています。

We participated as a couple. The group consisted of five people and one guide. It was a small group, so we felt comfortable joining! At each scenic point, we were able to take wonderful photos, which made for memorable experiences. The trekking to the top of the waterfall was a bit harder than I expected, but the views were amazing. Swimming in the basin of the waterfall felt really refreshing. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to fully experience the nature of Iriomote Island.

夫婦2人で参加しました。グループは5人でガイドさん1人。少人数なので安心して参加できました！
各所の絶景ポイントではとてもすてきな写真を撮っていただき思い出深いです。
滝上までのトレッキングは思ってたより少しハードでしたが、景色は最高でした。また滝壺で泳ぐのはとても気持ち良かったです。
西表島の自然をガッツリ体験したい方にはおすすめです。

We canoed to the limestone cave, explored inside, then jumped in, and canoed back. Along the way, our guide explained various things in a fun way and took lots of great photos, which made it very enjoyable!

One thing to note is that the tour lasts about two hours, and since we were advised to leave as much luggage behind as possible, we couldn't hydrate much (I thought maybe we could have left a water bottle in the canoe). I was also informed beforehand that there wouldn't be a restroom after gathering, which was a bit tough.

Also, without any shade, you can get really sunburned. But overall, it was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I participated! Our guide, Nakamura, was cute and funny, and I was really happy she was in charge. Thank you! ☺︎

カヌーで鍾乳洞まで行って、中を探索してから飛び込んで、またカヌーで戻ってきました。
道中では周りの色々なものを楽しく説明してくださったり、映え写真も沢山撮ってくださり、とても楽しかったです！
注意点は、ツアーが2時間くらいなんですが、出来るだけ荷物を置いて行くので水分が摂れないのと(もしかしたらペットボトルくらいならカヌーに置いとけたかもと思いました)、事前にお伝えいただいてたのですが集合してからトイレがないので、そこがちょっとつらかったです。
あとラッシュとかないとめちゃくちゃ焼けます。
ただなんにしろとても楽しくて参加してよかったです！
ガイドの中村さんが可愛くて面白くて、中村さんが担当してくれてよかったです。
ありがとうございました☺︎

It was my first experience kayaking, and I was able to enjoy seeing the mangroves. The staff were very fun and provided excellent guidance. I would love to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

カヤック初体験だったのですがマングローブを見られて楽しむことが出来ました。
スタッフさんもとても楽しくガイドをしてもらって最高でした。
また機会があれば利用させてもらいたいです。

In the afternoon, I participated in SUP and sea turtle snorkeling with my wife. It was so much fun! The weather was great, and the water clarity was good. The guides were both kind and worked hard to support us. Thank you very much. I wasn't confident about SUP, but I managed to stand up well, and I also encountered turtles while snorkeling. They take photos for both activities, which makes for great memories. I participated in this tour in Ishigaki Island last year as well, and I am always very satisfied. Thank you!

午後からSUPと海亀シュノーケリングに妻と参加しました。楽しかったー。天気も良く、海の透明度もGOOD。ガイドさんもどちらも親切で、一生懸命にサポートしてくれました。ありがとうございました。SUPも自信がなかったのですが、上手く立てましたし、シュノーケリングも亀にも出会えました。どちらも写真も撮ってくれるので、良い思い出になります。こちらのツアーは石垣島で昨年も参加しましたが毎回とても満足します。ありがとうございました。

The weather was a concern, but it turned out to be clear skies.
It was perfect for snorkeling.
The waves were high and it was really rocky, but we safely arrived at the point.
It was truly the best day for snorkeling.
The blue was beautiful—this is Kerama Blue!
It sometimes looked like a deep green,
and the colors of the corals were varied.
We even encountered a sea turtle.

Thank you to all the staff.
I want to go again tomorrow!

スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました
明日にでも行きたいです

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! They provided transportation from any location and the guidance to the destination was smooth! Along the way, they shared a lot about the island's history, recommended spots, and delicious restaurants, and I was very satisfied with both the tour content and the service! They also shared the charm of the island, making me want to move here in the future (laughs). I would love to use their services again when I travel back! I also want to recommend it to my friends (＾_＾).

今回はハネムーンでこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！どんな場所でも送迎してくれて現地までの案内もスムーズ！道中は島の歴史やおすすめスポット、美味しいご飯屋さんをたくさん教えてくださり、ツアー内容ともに接客も大満足です！！島の魅力も共有してくれて老後は移住したくなりました(笑)また旅行にきた際には利用させていただきたいです！友達にもおすすめしたいと思います（＾_＾）

I was very moved to see about seven sea turtles up close while snorkeling! Even those who are not good at snorkeling can feel at ease participating, as the staff explained everything very thoroughly. In the second half, we chose to go canoeing, and it became the best memory as we played in the beautiful sea while relaxing! The stand-up paddleboarding also looked like a lot of fun. Additionally, the staff took photos for us, so I look forward to reminiscing while looking back at them. The tour duration was just right, and I'm glad I participated.

Thank you for such a fun tour! I would love to join again when I come back to Miyako.

シュノーケリングではウミガメが7匹ほど至近距離で見れてとても感動しました！シュノーケリングが得意ではない方も、とても丁寧にスタッフの方が説明してくださったので安心して参加できると思います。後半は私たちはカヌーを選んだのですが、リラックスしながらきれいな海でカヌーで遊べ最高の思い出になりました！サップの方もとても楽しそうでした。またスタッフの方が写真も撮ってくださるので、見返して思い出に浸りたいと思います。ツアーの時間も丁度良く、参加してよかったです。
とても楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！また宮古に来たら参加したいと思います。

Thank you for a very enjoyable time! Being from Kansai, I had a fun conversation and a fulfilling experience! I also look forward to enjoying the nature of Okinawa while working hard. The explanations were detailed, and I learned a lot about mangroves and more.

とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました！関西出身でトークも楽しくて充実した体験が出来ました！
また沖縄の自然を楽しみに仕事も頑張りたいと思います笑
説明も詳しく、マングローブなどについてたくさん知ることが出来ました。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour on May 9th. I was worried about whether I would see sea turtles, but I was able to see many of them! There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and SUP, so I was very satisfied. The staff were friendly and made it enjoyable. It was a great trip, thank you!

5/9にシュノーケル&SUPのツアーに参加しました。
ウミガメに会えるか不安でしたが沢山会うことが出来ました！
シュノーケルの時間もSUPの時間もたっぷりあったので大満足でした。
スタッフの方も気さくで楽しめました。良い旅行になりました、ありがとうございました！

I mistakenly thought that the only thing to see in the cave was pumpkins, but while climbing up in the dark with a light, being pulled up, getting splashed by cold spring water, and jumping down, they explained everything and took lots of photos, which was really fun. Canoeing through the beautiful sea was also enjoyable. It became a great memory!

鍾乳洞の中はパンプキンを見るだけかと勘違いしてましたが、暗い中をライトで照らしながらよじ登るというか引っ張り上げてもらったり、冷たい湧水に打たれたり、飛び降りたり、色々と説明してくださって写真もいっぱい撮ってくださって、とっても楽しかったです。綺麗な海をカヌーで進むのも楽しかったです。良い思い出になりました！

I participated alone. All the staff were kind, and I had a wonderful day! I was glad to meet the sea turtle! I'm very grateful to Yukie, who was in charge of my experience diving. Thank you so much! I'm already thinking about wanting to dive again, so I hope to be in your care next time as well. I hope I can come around next month!

１人で参加しました。スタッフの方みなさん優しくてとても良い１日をすごせました！
ウミガメさんに会いたかったので会えて良かったです！
体験ダイビングで担当していただいた、ゆきえさんには感謝感謝です。ありがとうございました！
もうすでにまたダイビングしたいと思っているので次回もお世話になりたいなと思ってます。
来月くらいに来れたらいいな～

I participated in the Pumpkin Hole tour on July 9th. It was a more active tour than I expected, but our guide, T, was very considerate of all the participants, and the older ladies had a great time! Thank you very much.
To reach the cave, we went by sea kayak, and since we had to climb up and down the hall, I think it's a good idea to wear long sleeves or a rash guard that goes down to the ankles to avoid sunburn.
The tour lasts about 2 to 2.5 hours, but considering the travel time to the meeting point, the lack of restrooms at the meeting and disbanding locations is tough for women. I deducted one star because we received a notice about a change in the meeting time the night before, but I believe it's a tour worth experiencing at least once.

　7/9のパンプキンホールツアーに参加しました。思っていたよりもアクティブに動くツアーでしたが、ガイドのTさんが参加者皆に気配りしていただき、おばさん達も大いに楽しめました♪有難うございました。
　洞窟まではシーカヤックで行くのと、ホールを登ったり降りたりするので、日焼け等を考えると長袖や足首までのラッシュガードを着ていると安心だと思います。
　ツアー時間は2〜2.5時間ですが集合場所までの移動時間を考慮すると、集合.解散場所にトイレがないのは女性にとっては厳しいことと、前日の晩に集合時間の変更連絡があったことから星一つ減らしましたが、一度は行ってみる価値のあるツアーだと思います。

今回は初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、マリンベリークラブのスタッフが一緒にいてくれたことに感謝しています。彼らはベテランのダイバーで、親しみやすく、助けてくれる準備ができています。彼らの経験とガイドのおかげで、ウミガメを見つけることに成功しました。

It is our first snorkeling this time and we are pleased that marine berry club staff were with us. They are veteran divers, approachable and ready to help.
Thanks to their experience and guide, we succeeded in spotting a sea turtle.

I got to see sea turtles, and the tour guides were all kind and good-looking! I participated with three other men, and it was surprising that the two who are not good with water said they want to go again! If I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely stop by!

ウミガメにも会えたし、添乗員さんも皆さん優しくて美男美女揃い！！
男4人で参加しましたが、水の苦手な2人が最高！また行きたいと言っていたのは驚きです！
また沖縄に来たら寄らせて貰います！

In the morning, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island. Our guide, Kaz, was very kind and explained everything in detail. There were two snorkeling spots, and at the first spot, we saw plenty of coral and fish. The next stop at Barasu Island had an astonishing level of transparency, and we were lucky enough to land there, which was breathtaking! Even though I participated without a camera, Kaz kindly sent us photos later, which was very appreciated.

After our lunch break, we experienced canoeing through the mangroves. We got off partway and took a short walk to a waterfall, which was refreshing. Our guide, Shimicchan, was all smiles and shared interesting information about Iriomote Island. He also took photos for us here.

On the way back, we were able to take a shower in a large changing room at the office, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful guides!

朝はバラス島でのシュノーケリング。担当のカズさんはとても親切で、丁寧にいろいろと説明してくれました。シュノーケリングのポイントは2カ所で、最初のポイントはサンゴやサカナがいっぱいみれました。つぎのバラス島はびっくりするくらい透明度で運よく上陸でき、景色に感動！カメラなしで参加しても後からガズさんか写真を送ってくれたので、非常にありがたい。
お昼休憩のあとはマングローブの間をカヌーで体験。途中で降りて、滝までちょっと歩き、リフレッシュ。担当のしみっちゃんは笑顔全開でガイドしてくれて、西表島のことを色々話してくれておもしろかったです。ここでも写真を撮ってくれたました。
帰りはオフィスで大きな更衣室でシャワー浴びれで最初から最後まで至れり尽くせり。とてもすばらしいガイドさんたちに感謝でいっぱいです。

I didn't have high expectations for the water clarity due to the continuous rain, but I was guided to a very beautiful place and had a wonderful time. I felt at ease since I lack confidence in my physical strength and swimming abilities!

雨が続き海の透明度に期待してなかったのですが
とても綺麗な場所に案内していただき
楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
体力や泳ぎに自信がなくて安心です！

We participated as a group of two, and the guide was exclusive to us. Osaka from B-nature was a veteran, kind, and very attentive. He took many wonderful photos for us, and both the Blue Cave and Osaka were amazing. Thank you very much.

2名で参加しましたが、ガイドさん貸し切りでした。
B-natureのオオサカさんはベテランで親切、丁寧でとても良い方でした。
沢山の素晴らしい写真を撮っていただき、青の洞窟もオオサカさんも最高でした。ありがとうございました。

I went on a one-day tour of Iriomote Island! I finally got to experience the canoe tour surrounded by mangroves on the river that I've always wanted to visit! And we explored the limestone caves in the mountains of Iriomote Island! The guidance from the handsome nature-loving brother was amazing! His excitement for nature was so heartwarming!

In the peaceful surroundings, you can hear the sounds of birds, the wind, and the flowing river. He answered all my questions about nature and informed us about dangerous plants in advance, allowing us to enjoy the experience safely! Truly a great nature observation instructor!! I highly recommend it!

It was my first time canoeing, but I improved quite a bit on the way back! Also, we were served Soki soba and bread! It was delicious! Next time, I definitely want to visit your wife's bakery too!

西表島コモレビトリップ1日ツアー行って来ました！
ずっと行きたかった川でのマングローブに囲まれたカヌーツアー！
そして西表島の山の中の鍾乳洞！
イケメン自然大好きお兄さんの案内が最高でした！自然が好きすぎて興奮してる姿が癒されました！笑

静か〜な中に鳥の声や風の音、川の流れ 色んな音が聞こえてきます。
自然に関する質問も全て答えてくれるし危険植物も先に教えてくれて安全に楽しめました！さすが自然観察指導員！！オススメです！

初めてのカヌーでしたが、帰り道にはなかなか上達してましたよ〜
あとソーキそばとパンが出てきます！おいしいですよー！
次回は是非奥様のパン屋さんにも行きたいです☆

I think this is the best tour to experience the nature of Miyako Island! The beautiful sea, the blue sky, and the scenery I saw inside the Pumpkin Cave are unforgettable! When I visit Miyako Island again, I definitely want to join this tour again!

宮古島の自然を1番感じる事ができるツアーだと思います！綺麗な海、青い空、パンプキン鍾乳洞の中で見た景色が忘れられません！
また宮古島へ行った際は、是非またこのツアーに参加したいです！
