All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I have visited Miyako Island several times before, and I had been curious about the Pumpkin Cave. So, after four years, I searched for a tour for this visit. I also wanted to see sea turtles even in the off-season, so I signed up for this tour. We started with snorkeling at Shinjo Beach to meet the sea turtles. After a thorough snorkeling lesson, we set off. After swimming a bit, we quickly spotted a sea turtle! The sea turtle didn't seem to care about us humans and was enjoying its meal, occasionally taking breaks to breathe. Although the snorkeling lasted less than an hour, we were able to see a total of five sea turtles, clownfish, and many other tropical fish, including a fish known as "ojisan." After that, we moved to another location and arrived at the cave by canoe in about ten minutes. As soon as we entered, we encountered the Pumpkin. Our guide took pictures for us, and the exploration began. Inside the cave, it was surprisingly warm and spacious, creating a mystical atmosphere. Listening to the guide's explanations was truly moving. Since there were only the two of us participating, we were able to take many pictures and had a very enjoyable time.

今までも何回かお邪魔していた宮古島。以前からパンプキン鍾乳洞は気になっていたので、4年ぶりに来島した今回、ツアーを検索。合わせてシーズンオフでもやっぱりウミガメが見たい！と思い、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。最初にウミガメに会いに新城海岸でシュノーケリングです。丁寧なシュノーケリング講習を受けた後、出発。少し泳いで、早速ウミガメ発見！ウミガメは人間のことなんて気にせず、時々息継ぎタイムを挟みながら食事を楽しんでいました。1時間足らずのシュノーケリングでしたが、合計5匹のウミガメとクマノミなどの熱帯魚、「おじさん」と呼ばれている魚などたくさん見ることができました。その後、場所を移動してカヌーで鍾乳洞へ、10分程度で到着。入って直ぐにパンプキンとご対面できました。ガイドさんに写真を撮ってもらい探検が始まります。鍾乳洞の中は意外に？暖かくて広く神秘的な空間が広がっていました。ガイドさんの説明を聞き感動もひとしおでした。参加者は私達2人だけだったので、写真も沢山撮っていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

My first time at the limestone caves in Miyako Island! I never expected that we would have to paddle a canoe to the entrance by ourselves, which was different from any limestone cave I had seen before. Since we were in our mid-50s, we felt a bit scared, but we had a lot of fun paddling the canoe.

Once we entered the cave, it was very mystical and wonderful. The tour guide was very kind, providing detailed explanations and offering assistance when we needed to climb up. I think this is a unique experience that you can't find just anywhere, so if you visit Miyako Island, I definitely recommend going to the Pumpkin Cave.

初めての宮古島での鍾乳洞！今まで見てきた鍾乳洞とは違って
まさかの入り口まで自力でカヌーを漕いでいくとは思ってもいませんでした。私たちは50台半ばでしたので、すこし怖さもあったのですが、とても楽しくカヌーを漕ぐことができました。
いざ鍾乳洞の中へ、とても神秘的で素晴らしかったです。ツアーの方も丁寧に説明をしてくれたり、上の方に登る時にはしっかりと手助けをしてくれたりととても親切にしてくださりました。中々体験できる鍾乳洞ではないとおもうので、宮古島に行った際には是非パンプキン鍾乳洞には行った方がいいと思います。

I was anxious about whether I would be okay since I can't swim, but the female staff always kept a smile on her face, encouraged us when we expressed our doubts, and guided us well. The canoe ride to the pumpkin hall was tough; no matter how hard we paddled, we didn't seem to make much progress, and I felt like giving up. Upon arriving at the pumpkin hall, we entered through a narrow entrance, climbed up, and on the way back, we jumped down, which was thrilling. Inside the cave, we were shown waterfalls where people in their 80s from Utah perform rituals, power spots, and pool-like areas. We even got to taste the fresh water falling from above. Since we were the only ones there, they turned off the lights to make it completely dark, allowing us to experience how sacred the place is. The sense of accomplishment from visiting places we couldn't go to individually and having these experiences was incredible. The sight of the female staff pulling the canoe with her slender arms was also impressive. There were no showers, but they provided us with bottled water, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

　老体に鞭打ち、泳げないのに大丈夫か不安でしたが、女性スタッフさんが、いつも笑顔を絶やさず、弱音を吐く私達を激励して、上手く誘導してもらいました。行きのカヌーは、漕いでも漕いでもなかなか進まずで、心が折れそうでした。パンプキンホールに到着して、狭い入り口から
入り、登ったり、帰りは、ジャンプして降りたりとスリル満点です。洞窟内は、80代のユタの方が神事をされる滝やら、パワースポットや、プールの様な所を案内して頂いたり、また、上から落ちる真水を舐めさせてもらったり、私達しかいなかったので、ライトを消して真っ暗にしてもらったりと、とても神聖な場所なんだと体験させてもらいました。個人では行けない場所や、体験させてもらって、達成感もは半端ないです。女性スタッフさんが、細腕でカヌーを引っ張って行く姿もカッコ良かったです。シャワーないですが、ペットボトルの水を持って来てもらっていたし、特に不便は感じ無かったです。良い思い出を有難うございました。

I was very satisfied! The staff was very nice, and I felt safe while diving! I will definitely participate here again next time!✌️

とても満足でした！
お兄さんがとてもいい方で安心してダイビング出来ました！次も必ずここで参加します✌️

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was really looking forward to it. Before the trip, the weather forecast predicted clouds and rain, but on the day itself, we were blessed with clear skies, as if the sun was greeting us. I thought it must have been due to my good behavior.

Now, regarding the morning SUP experience, it was wonderful to paddle and stand on the board with both feet, feeling the wind of Ishigaki Island all around me. When I got the hang of it, I tried standing on one foot, but I didn’t succeed and ended up falling into the sea, which became a memorable experience for me.

In the afternoon, the sun became stronger, and I almost wondered if it was really January, as the intense sunlight was piercing. During the snorkeling experience, the sunny weather allowed me to swim comfortably, and I was very satisfied! My companion mentioned they weren’t a strong swimmer, but with the support of a float, they were able to participate safely, making it an activity that anyone can enjoy.

Thank you very much!

今回が初めての石垣島旅行で楽しみにしていました。
旅行に行く前は天気予報が曇や雨の予報でしたが、いざ、当日になると、太陽がこちらに向かって挨拶してるかのような快晴に恵まれ日頃の行いが良かったのかと思いました。
さて、午前中のSUP体験ですが漕いで両足でボートの上に立つ事で石垣島の風を全体で受ける事でき、非常に気持ちの良いものでした。途中慣れきたころに片足立ちに挑戦するも、上手くいかず転覆して石垣の海に放り出されたのは個人的な良い思い出になりました。笑
午後になると日差しも強くなって行き、本当に1月かと思うぐらい強い日差しが突き刺さる中、シュノーケル体験でしたが太陽が出てる分気持ち良く泳ぐ事が出来て大満足でした！今回、同伴者が泳ぎが苦手との事でしたが浮き輪と一緒にサポートしてくださったので初めての方でも安心して参加できるアクティビティですね。
どうもありがとうございました。

Canoeing was my first experience, and it was so much fun that I think I'm hooked. The waterfall was very refreshing; even though it was January, it was warm, and there were people swimming in the pool beneath the falls. One person dropped their smartphone into the pool, but the instructor was able to retrieve it. Since it was waterproof, it wasn't damaged and was safe. The lunch was also very filling. Riding in a cow cart was a first for me as well, and I really enjoyed it; I'm glad I went. Next, I want to visit the Phantom Island.

カヌーは初めてでしたがとても楽しくてハマりそうです。
滝もとても気持ちよく1月でしたが暖かくて滝つぼに入っている方もいましたよ
1人の方が
スマホを滝つぼに落とされたんですが
インストラクターの方が拾ってくれました。
防水加工がしてあったので壊れずに
無事でした。
お弁当もお腹いっぱいになりました。
牛車も初体験でしたが、とても楽しくて行ってよかったなあと思います。
次は幻の島に行ってみたいです。

I thought the sea in January would be cold, but since I had a wetsuit and it was a bit sunny, it wasn't as bad as I expected. We paddled to the cave in a canoe, and the instructions were given so carefully that I was able to enjoy it. Inside the cave, there were mystical and memorable sights. The water was very clear. I was surprised to see a blue snake by chance. Since the place to change clothes on the way back is in the car, I think it would be good to plan that part well (like coming in clothes that are easy to change). I had a great time!

1月の海は寒いかなと思いましたがウェットスーツがあったのと少し晴れていたので、思ったほどではありませんでした。
鍾乳洞まではカヌーで向かいましたが、それも丁寧に指示して頂けたので楽しむことが出来ました。鍾乳洞の中は神秘的で記憶に残る光景が広がっていましたよ。水はとても綺麗でした。
たまたま青蛇がいてびっくりしました。
帰りに着替える場所が車の中になるので、そこだけうまく考えて（着替えやすい服で来るなど）参加出来たらいいと思います！
楽しかったです！

I heard that it's rare for Iriomote Island to have clear weather in winter, making it uncommon to see the starry sky. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the stars while canoeing, but I was able to witness bioluminescent plankton, and experiencing the unique tranquility and darkness of nature was precious. The guide's stories were also enjoyable. I was very grateful that they sent us photos at the end.

冬の西表島は晴れることが珍しいそうで、星空を見ることができるのは稀だと聞きました。カヌーに乗りながらの星空は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、夜光虫がみれたし、自然ならではの静寂や夜の暗さを体験できたのは貴重でした。ガイドさんのお話も楽しかったです。最後にお写真も送ってくださるので大変ありがたかったです。

Due to the weather, snorkeling became impossible, and I received a phone call the day before informing me that the afternoon plans would be changed. Instead of snorkeling, there was a tour to Yufu Island, but I could decline, so I only participated in the morning experience. (I received a refund for the afternoon portion.) The limestone cave and canoeing were incredibly fun. They even took photos without me noticing and sent them to me later. I was very satisfied! If you want to bring your phone, a waterproof case is essential.

天候の関係でシュノーケリングが不可能になり、午後の予定が変更になるということで前日に連絡の電話がありました。シュノーケリングの代わりに由布島のツアーということでしたが、断ることもできたので午前だけの体験となりました。（午後の分は返金いただきました。）鍾乳洞もカヌーもめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。いつのまにかお写真も撮ってくださってて、後日送っていただけました。大満足でした！携帯を持って行きたい方は、防水のケース必須です。

It was New Year's Eve, and I spent it in Kerama. On the day of the trip, it was cloudy, but it was convenient that they picked us up right at the hotel. After getting ready, we set sail and arrived at the first point in Kerama in about 40 minutes. At first, the seawater felt cold, but as I got used to it, I found it colder to be back on the boat. On the way back, it was rough and quite bumpy, but it turned into a fun memory.

大晦日でしたが慶良間でしました。
当日、曇り空でしたがホテル下までお迎えが来てくれて楽でした。
準備をして出航して40分ほどで慶良間の第1ポイントに到着。
最初は海水が冷たく感じましたが慣れてくると船にあがったほうが寒かったです。
帰りはシケててかなり揺れましたが楽しい思い出になりました。

It was held in pouring rain.
From the middle, it felt more like an exploration than sightseeing.
I was wearing the special shoes I borrowed, but I got stuck in the mud and fell a few times.
I think it might be a bit tough for older people.
However, the tour guide was kind, polite, and left a good impression.
I strongly wished to go on a sunny day.

土砂降りの雨の中での開催でした。
途中から観光というよりかは探検って感じでした。
お借りした専用シューズを履いておりましたが、泥に足を取られて何回かコケました。
お年を召した方はちょっと厳しいかなと思います。
でもツアーのガイドさんは優しく、丁寧で好感がもてました。
晴れた日に行きたいと強く思いました。

This time, I experienced a sunset tour by kayak. It was my first time kayaking, but thanks to the instructor's guidance and the calm sea, I was able to enjoy it as a beginner. As for the sunset, the weather was great that day, and we could see a beautiful sunset over the sea. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see the sunset sinking into the sea due to the clouds, but the sight of the sky turning orange was unforgettable. We took some photos ourselves, but the ones taken by the instructor were even more beautiful and became cherished memories. I was also happy to receive recommendations for good restaurants.

今回、カヤックでサンセットツアーを体験してきました。
初めてのカヤックでしたが、インストラクターの方の教えもあり、また海が穏やかだったので、初心者の私でも楽しめました。
肝心のサンセットですが、当日は良い天気で海から綺麗な夕陽が見えました。
雲に覆われて夕陽が海に落ちていく様子は見ることができなかったのが少し残念でしたが、空が焼けてオレンジに色づいていく景色は一生忘れられない光景でした。
当日は、自分たちでも写真を撮りましたが、インストラクターの方に撮っていただけた写真はより綺麗で、思い出に残るものとなりました。
おすすめのご飯のお店も教えいただいたのも嬉しかったです。

For the first time, I went to Miyako Island and participated in a cave tour. With us included, there were two groups, and we had one female guide and one male guide, which made us feel secure. They mentioned it would be like a workout at the beginning, so we were somewhat prepared, but those in their 20s and children were physically fine. At first, it felt far, but as we walked, we learned about where the coral is, the creatures on the beach, the land animals unique to Miyako, and how the caves were formed. Thanks to the detailed explanations, we enjoyed the walk without getting bored. They took a lot of beautiful photos, and I’m glad I joined the tour! The female guide was cheerful, and her interaction with the children was excellent! Since there are no showers, I think it's a good idea to look for a nearby bathhouse.

初めて、宮古島に行き鍾乳洞ツアーに参加しました。
私たち入れて、2組に対して、ガイドのお姉さんが1人、後ろにお兄さんが1人で安心できるガイド数でした。筋トレ並みです！と最初に案内があったためそれなりの覚悟をしてましが、20代、子供は体力的には大丈夫です。最初は遠いと感じますが、実際歩くとサンゴがどこにあるかや、ビーチにいる生物や宮古にしかいない陸の生物や、鍾乳洞がどのようにしてできたかなど、細かく説明していただけたおかげで、歩く道のりも飽きることなく楽しめました。写真をたくさんとってくれて、綺麗な写真ばかりでツアーに参加してよかったです！ガイドのお姉さんは明るくて、お子さんへの対応も素晴らしかったです! シャワーがないので近くのお風呂屋さんを探しておくといいと思います。

In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and after lunch, we gathered again in the afternoon to go snorkeling. It was my first time doing SUP, and I was a bit anxious, but once I got the hang of it, it was so much fun! I thought it might be a bit cold for snorkeling in January, but once I got used to it, it was totally fine. The ocean was really beautiful, and I was thrilled when I encountered a sea turtle! I was careful not to touch it while watching, but the sea turtle wasn't wary at all and came close, which surprised me! Personally, I really enjoyed snorkeling, so I highly recommend getting in the water if you visit Miyako Island! I also want to thank the instructor who provided various support.

午前中SUPをして、各自昼食後、午後に再び集合しシュノーケルをする流れでした。
SUPは初めてで不安もありましたが、コツを掴むとすごく楽しかったです！
午後のシュノーケルは1月で少し寒いかなと思いましたが、慣れてしまえば全然大丈夫でした。海が本当にキレイで、ウミガメに出会えた時は感動しました！触らないように気を付けながら見ていましたが、ウミガメが警戒しないので近付いてきてこっちが驚いてしまいました笑
個人的にはシュノーケルが本当に楽しかったので、宮古島に来たらぜひ海に入ることをおすすめします！色々とサポートしてくださった、インストラクターさんにも感謝します。

I booked a 2-night, 3-day trip to Miyako Island using this site. It was very convenient as I could make a reservation even the night before, while considering various options from different sites.

On the day of the trip, we gathered at 8 AM due to the tides. The instructor was a woman who was very attentive to the participants and was a kind person who spoke to us casually✨.

The walk to the limestone cave involved quite a bit of walking along the beach and in the water, which was physically demanding, but it was fun. We took photos at the pumpkin rock, climbed up, and dove down, which was thrilling and very satisfying(^^)♪

During the snorkeling tour, we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle and got some photos taken! It was amazing to see so many beautiful fish swimming close by❤️. The clownfish, in particular, was more colorful and adorable than it looked in pictures✨.

The weather was great, making it the perfect activity. I want to go again!✨

初めの宮古島旅行2泊3日で、こちらのサイトを利用して予約。
前日の夜でも予約ができ、いろいろなサイトを見ながら検討していたので大変便利でした。

当日は、潮の関係で8時集合。インストラクターの方は女性で、参加者への気配りがとても良く、気さくに話しかけてくれる優しい方でした✨

鍾乳洞までは、かなり浜辺や海の中を歩いたりと体力のいる感じですが、楽しかったです。
パンプキンで写真を撮ってもらい、上に登りダイブしたりなどなかなかスリルを味わったりもして大満足です(^^)♪


シュノーケリングツアーは、運良くウミガメに遭遇でき、写真も撮ってもらいました！
綺麗な魚たちが近くでたくさん泳いでいて感動でした❤️
特に、カクレクマノミは写真で見るよりも色鮮やかで可愛かったです✨

天気も良くて最高のアクティビティでしたまた行きたいなぁ✨

It was my first time canoeing, but with the thorough explanations and guidance, even in a situation where I didn't know where I was going, I had a fun and great experience. The waterfalls and caves were wonderful, and the explanations along the way were clear, allowing me to truly connect with the nature of Iriomote Island. I also appreciated the various considerations that made me feel at ease participating. They took photos for me and sent them right away, which became a lovely keepsake. Thank you very much.

カヌーは初めてでしたが丁寧な説明と、漕いでもどこへ行くかわからない状況でしたがきちんとアドバイスをいただけ、楽しく良い経験ができました。滝も洞窟も素晴らしく道中の説明もよくわかり西表島の自然に触れられた感じです。もいろいろお気遣いもいただき安心して参加できました。写真も写していただいたりすぐ送っていただきよい記念になりました。ありがとうございました。

Despite the bad weather, the guide was very attentive and led us to the amazing Pumpkin Cave, which became the best memory of my trip. It stands out as the most memorable experience. I went alone this time, but I hope to bring my family next time.

天候が悪い中ガイドの方が丁寧に誘導してくれ最高の思い出になるパンプキン鍾乳洞に行きました。
旅の中で1番思い出に残っています。今回は1人で行きましたが次回は家族を連れて行けたらと思います。

The staff provided thorough explanations on how to canoe, knowledge about the mangroves, and ways to enjoy the experience, making it a very enjoyable and satisfying tour! Although the weather wasn't sunny, we were able to appreciate the unique charm and atmosphere that comes with cloudy weather followed by rain. They also took many photos, leaving us with beautiful memories. We couldn't visit the Blue Cave this time due to the weather, so I hope to try again next time. Thank you!

スタッフの方が丁寧にカヌーの乗り方、マングローブの知識、楽しみ方など説明をしてくださり、とても楽しく大満足のツアーでした！！
晴天ではありませんでしたが、曇りのち雨ならではの魅力、雰囲気を味わうことができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、思い出もキレイな形で残っています。
今回は天気の都合で青の洞窟には行けなかったので、次回再チャレンジできればとおもいます。
ありがとうございました！

The mangrove kayaking allowed us to slowly paddle down the river and fully enjoy nature. The snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many fish and corals. The instructor was also a very nice person, which made it fun! 😊

マングローブカヤックは川をゆっくりカヤックで進んで　自然を堪能できました。
シュノーケリングは少し寒かったけど　魚や珊瑚を沢山見れて良かったです。
インストラクターの方もとても感じの良い人で楽しかったです(^^)

I was very satisfied with both the forest walk and the canoe experience. At first, I was a bit worried that the 6-hour tour would be too long, but with the lunch break at the waterfall and the canoe time on the way back, I didn't feel tired at all; it was a fun time that flew by. The soba at the waterfall was exceptionally delicious. Thank you very much.

森歩きとカヌー体験、両方できて大満足です。
最初ツアー時間6時間は長いかなと少し不安はありましたが、滝上でのランチ休憩、帰りのカヌータイムを挟んでいて全然疲れを感じませんでした、あっという間の楽しい時間でした。
滝上でのおそばは格別においしかったです。
ありがとうございました。

After the New Year, I went to warm Ishigaki!

After touring the island, I decided to book some sports activities! At first, I was worried that the sea might still be cold, but I was recommended to try stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, and it was safe and easy even for beginners! Our guide, Mako-chan, taught us carefully, and the waves were stable, so I didn’t have to worry about falling into the water at all!

Then, in the afternoon, we headed out for snorkeling. The moment I got into the water, I thought, "Oh, it's cold!" but I quickly immersed myself in the beautiful underwater world, and it was so much fun!

When I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly, but the car's heating was working great, and it felt nice!

Finally, there was a shower available to warm up my body, which was the best!

I definitely want to go back once the warm season arrives!

年明け暖かい石垣に！

島観光を回してから、スポーツを予約してみました！最初は海がまだ寒いかなと心配してたが、マングローブのsupをおすすめしていただいて、初心者でも、安心に漕げました！ガイドのまこちゃん丁寧に教えていただき、波も安定で、全然水に落ちる心配がなかったのです！

それから！午後からシュノーケルに向かって、水に入った瞬間、あ、寒ーと思ってたけど、すぐ綺麗な海下の世界に冒頭し、楽しかったです！

水から出てきて、一瞬寒かったけど、車の暖房をガンガン効いて、気持ちよかった！

最後、シャワーも付いて、体を温めて、最高でした！

暖かい季節になってから、ぜひまた行きたいです！

I was grateful for the hotel pick-up since I didn't have a rental car for this trip. It was nice to have a lunch break at the island terminal and be able to stroll around. I was disappointed that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but instead, we landed on the Phantom Island and had a great time snorkeling and seeing many beautiful fish. I got so captivated by the fish that I ended up following them a bit too closely and sometimes lagged behind, but the staff took care of me until the end. I think it would have been even better if there had been a little more time to swim freely.

I also really enjoyed the mangrove kayaking in the afternoon. It was my first experience walking through the mangrove forest after getting off the kayak, which was a bit exciting. The kayak was stable, and I was able to relax. The guide was very fun and taught us a lot, making for a wonderful day.

While my usual trips focus on sightseeing, experiences like this have become great memories, and I'm glad I participated.

今回の旅行はレンタカーなしだったのでホテルまで送迎していただけて助かりました。また離島ターミナルでお昼休憩があり、ぷらぷら散策ができて良かったです。ツアーは青の洞窟が行けなかったのが残念ですが、代わりの幻の島上陸とシュノーケルできれいな魚たちが沢山見ることが出来楽しい時間を過ごせました。魚に見惚れてつい後をついていってしまい、ときどきおくれがちになってしまいましたが最後まで面倒をみてもらいました。自由に泳げる時間が少しでもあるとより良かったかなーと思います。
午後からのマングローブカヤックもとても楽しめました。カヤックから降りてマングローブの森の中を歩くのも初めての経験でちょっとワクワクしました。カヤックは安定感があり、のんびりと過ごせました。ガイドさんもとても楽しく色々教えてくださり楽しい一日を過ごせ良かったです。
いつもの旅行は観光が中心ですが、このような体験もとても良い思い出になり、参加して良かったです。

I felt completely immersed in nature, and it was so much fun!!

Not only the main zip line, but also the mini water slide and jump zone on the way there made me laugh and have a great time!! I want to go again!!!

自然が最大限に感じられ、とっても楽しかったです！！

メインのジップラインだけでなく、そこに到達するまでの中でミニウォータースライダーだったり、ジャンプゾーンだったり、とっで笑って楽しく過ごせました！！
また行きたいです！！！

Since it was an experience in January, I thought it might be cold, but Okinawa's winter is warm, and I wasn't cold at all while wearing a wetsuit. I was very satisfied with snorkeling, as I got to see many fish and even a sea turtle. I also experienced the mystical atmosphere of Pumpkin Hall. The guide took many photos for us, which became great memories!

1月の体験だったので、寒いかなと思いましたが沖縄の冬は暖かく、ウエットスーツを着ていたら全然寒くなかったです。シュノーケリングはたくさんのお魚や、ウミガメも見れて大満足でした。パンプキンホールも、神秘的な雰囲気を体験できました。写真もたくさんガイドの方が撮ってくださり良い思い出になりました！

Originally, we had planned to start the snorkeling tour around 10 AM and then visit the Pumpkin Cave in the afternoon. However, I received a message the day before suggesting that we start the snorkeling earlier in the morning due to the sea temperature dropping in the afternoon.

In reality, the morning sea was a bit chilly, but it wasn't enough to affect us, and during the cave tour afterward, we were able to enjoy it comfortably without any impact from the water temperature. I was very impressed by the consideration shown to the tour participants.

During the tour, we were able to see sea turtles and clownfish while snorkeling, and at the Pumpkin Cave, we experienced a mystical atmosphere.

The tour guide's explanations and support were very attentive, making the experience enjoyable.

I would like to participate in other tours when I visit Miyako Island again.

元々の予定は10時頃からシュノーケリングツアーで午後からパンプキン鍾乳洞で予定でしたが、前日に海の水温が午後は下がる為に午前中のシュノーケリングの開始時間を早めてはどうかと連絡を頂きました。
実際朝の海は多少の冷たさはあったものの影響が出るほどではなく、その後の鍾乳洞のツアーの際も水温に影響を受けることなく快適に過ごすことが出来ました。
ツアー参加者への配慮が大変素晴らしく関心致しました。

ツアー自体はシュノーケリングの際はウミガメやクマノミを見ることができ、パンプキン鍾乳洞では神秘的な空間を体感するすることが出来ました。

ツアーガイドの方の説明やサポートも大変細やかで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。

また宮古島に行った際は他のツアーにも参加してみたいと思います。

When I arrived at Uehara Port by ferry, the person who was supposed to pick me up was not there. After searching for about five laps, I confirmed by phone and was told, "I'll be there soon." I was taken aback, thinking, "Wait, they haven't arrived yet??"

First, I went to the shop to drop off my luggage and borrowed shoes that could get wet before heading to the cave. The entrance was extremely narrow, and there was water pooling at my feet, making it quite a struggle to crawl through. However, after that, I was surrounded by untouched nature! The limestone cave had several breaks where we walked outside in the sunlight and then back inside the cave. The guide occasionally provided explanations and took photos, and as we walked, they spoke to each of us, which gradually made the atmosphere more relaxed.

After about an hour of exploration, we returned to the shop for lunch with rice balls. After a break, we moved on to canoeing. Unfortunately, all the single-person canoes were already taken, so we headed to the waterfall in a two-person canoe. At first, we were unsteady, going this way and that. After getting off the canoe, we climbed for about 30 minutes to reach the waterfall basin. There, we were treated to brown sugar tea. After that, we retraced our steps down the mountain and paddled back in the canoe. By the return trip, I had gotten quite used to canoeing and was able to go mostly straight.

Throughout the morning and afternoon, my legs got quite wet. If you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes.

フェリーで上原港に着いたとき、迎えに来てくれるはずの人が来ておらず、5周くらい探し回った後で電話で確認すると、「すぐ行きます」とのこと。え～、まだ来てなかったの？？ということでいきなり出鼻をくじかれました（泣）

まずショップへ行って荷物を置き、濡れてもいい靴を借りていざ洞窟へ。入口が極端に狭く足元は水が溜まっているので、中腰でくぐり抜けるのにひと苦労。しかし、その後は手つかずの自然が！鍾乳洞は何度か途切れ、日差しのある外を歩いたり、また洞窟内に入ったりの繰り返しでした。ガイドさんがちょこちょこ説明を挟みつつ写真を撮ってくれ、歩きながら個々に話しかけてくれるので、だんだん和んできます。

1時間ほどの探索が終わると一旦ショップへ戻り、おにぎりでランチ。休憩を挟んだあと、お次はカヌーへ。たまたま一人乗りのカヌーが先客で全て使われてしまっていたため、二人乗りカヌーで滝へ向かいました。最初は慣れずにあっちへ行ったりこっちへ行ったり。カヌーを降りると30分くらいかけて滝つぼへ登ります。こちらでは黒糖紅茶をふるまっていただきました。その後は同じルートをたどって下山し、カヌーを漕いで戻りました。帰路のカヌーは大分慣れて、おおむね真っすぐ進むことができました。

午前・午後通して脚がけっこう濡れます。気になる人は着替えを持参した方がいいかも。

The snorkeling had high visibility, allowing us to see plenty of coral and fish, and the SUP was taught with great care, making it a very satisfying tour! Even in winter, the water temperature was warm, and wearing a wetsuit kept us comfortable; the kids enjoyed it as well. The staff were very friendly and kind to the children. Since it was windy, it would have been nice to have a windbreaker over our swimsuits during the SUP. I would love to participate again!

シュノーケリングは透明度が高く珊瑚や魚を沢山見ることができ、SUPも丁寧に教えてくださり大満足のツアーでした！冬でも水温は高く、ウェットスーツを着れば寒くなく、子供も楽しんでいました。スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで子供にも優しいです。風が強かったので、SUPの時は水着の上にウィンドブレーカーがあると良かったです。また参加したいです！

- I participated on New Year's Day. Since we were a small team of 2 people in 3 groups, they provided solid support for those who were not good at canoeing. I heard that canoeing can get crowded during the summer vacation season, but this time we were able to paddle while enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace.
- I was worried that the canoeing time might be insufficient, but combined with trekking, the time allocation was just right in terms of physical exertion.
- The trekking was somewhat tough, so those who don't exercise regularly might experience muscle soreness. However, participants around 65 years old were progressing quite well...
- The explanations about the flora and fauna along the way were interesting (fish, ducks, snipes, mudskippers, fiddler crabs, mangroves, etc.).
- We were able to explore Yufu Island in about an hour, and I caught a glimpse of a white-browed crake in the botanical garden corner.

・元日の参加でした。2人×3組の少人数チームだったので、カヌーが苦手な人にもしっかりサポートしてくれました。夏休みシーズンはカヌー渋滞するらしいですが、今回はゆっくり景色を楽しみながらカヌーをこげました。
・カヌーの時間が物足りないかな？と心配してましたが、トレッキングと合わせても体力的にはちょうど良い時間配分でした。
・トレッキングはまあまあきついので普段運動しない人は筋肉痛になります。65歳くらいの参加者はぐんぐん進んでましたが…
・道中の動植物解説が面白いです（魚、カモ、シギ、トビハゼ、シオマネキ、マングローブ等）
・由布島は1時間ほどでちょうどよく回れました。植物園コーナーで一瞬シロハラクイナを見ました。

On December 30, I participated with my family of four. We walked in the sea to the Pumpkin Cave. As the name suggests, it was a place that evokes the image of a pumpkin.

I was able to feel the greatness of nature in many places. Thank you to our guide for being kind and teaching us carefully.

December can be quite cold, so bring a bath towel and long sleeves. A wetsuit is required. After the activity, it would be nice to take a bath at the hotel, but if it's after checkout, I recommend stopping by a hot spring.

I'm grateful that the photos will be sent via LINE.

I highly recommend this for anyone considering Miyako Island.

12月30日に家族四人で参加しました。海の中を歩いてパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。名前のとおりパンプキンをイメージさせる場所でした。
自然の成せる凄さを随所に感じることができました。ガイドさん、親切で丁寧に教えていただき、ありがとうございました。

12月はわりと寒いので、バスタオル、長袖持参で。ウエットスーツ着用です。終了後、ホテルでお風呂に入れるならいいですが、チェックアウト後でしたら、温泉に寄るのがいいかと。

写真はLINEで送って下さるのでありがたいです。

宮古島をご検討中の方は是非おすすめです。

As expected, even in Okinawa during the New Year period, it can be cold, and the strong winds significantly lower the perceived temperature. A lightweight down jacket was just right. There are rentals available for pants that you don't mind getting wet.

The guide who showed us around was very kind and explained various plants and creatures. I noticed that some tours from other companies seemed to just involve paddling, so choosing Easy was definitely the right decision.

やはり年末年始は沖縄といえ寒く、風が強いと体感温度がぐっと下がります。
薄手のダウンで丁度良い感じでした。
ズボンは濡れてもいいようにレンタルがあります。

案内してくれた方が、とても良い方で色々な植物や生き物の説明をしてくれました。他社のツアーだとただ漕ぐだけと見受けられるツアーもありましたのでイーズさんを選んで正解でした。
