All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I participated with my middle school daughter and my husband. Our guide, "Wakachiko's big brother," Yutty, was cheerful and explained everything clearly, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the experience! I thought we would just see the Pumpkin Cave and that would be it, but it turned out to be an adventure beyond my imagination as we climbed further in! The final dive from the pumpkin was incredibly refreshing! My daughter paired up with Yamato, who shared stories about the history of Miyako Island, and we really appreciated his help! On the way back in the car, we all agreed that we had a great time together. Thank you very much!

中学生の娘と夫婦で参加しました。
ガイドの「ワカチコなお兄さん」こと、ユッティーさん！明るくて説明も分かりやすく、気配り目配りに安心して参加出来ました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞を見て終わりかな？と思っていたら、さらに奥へと登ったりと想像以上の大冒険！最後はパンプキンからのダイブ！めっちゃ気持ちよかった！娘はヤマトさんとカヌーペアになり宮古島の歴史をお話ししてくださりとお世話になりました！帰りの車の中で、家族みんな楽しかった！と充実した時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

Our blue cave snorkeling event was cancelled due to weather but they offered to take us to a shallow area near their shop where we saw tons of fish. The current was strong but the heavy duty life vest kept us afloat and our guide was right there with us, taking pictures, and also had a boogie board we could grab onto if we needed a rest. If we had more time, I would have rebooked the blue cave once the weather calmed down. Our guide was kind and helpful and the equipment was clean and in good condition. My son and I had a great time.

I went on a snorkeling and pumpkin cave tour!
I even got to see sea turtles✨
Fu-chan is the best^_^
I want to go again!

シュノーケリング＆パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーに行きました！
海亀にも会えました✨
ふうちゃん最高です^_^
また行きたい！

The scenic spot of Iriomote Island, the Pinai Falls. Since it's such a famous site, I decided to go with a highly-rated service and chose Iriomote Nature School.

At first, I was a bit worried because the pickup car didn't have good air conditioning, but once we arrived at the location, the detailed explanations and the guidance through the scenery were very pleasant.

They took photos at key points with my digital camera, making sure to capture good angles, which created wonderful memories. The photography at the basin of the Pinai Falls was well thought out and absolutely fantastic!

I plan to request this tour again when I go back. Thank you very much!

西表島名勝のピナイサーラの滝
せっかくの名勝なので口コミ評判の良いところにお願いしようと思い、西表自然学校にしてみました。
お迎えの車はクーラーも効かず、ちょっと大丈夫かな〜との不安はよぎりましたが、現地に着いてからは丁寧な説明、その都度の景色をガイドいただきとても良い感じでした。
特にデジカメで写真を要所要所撮ってくれるし、良いアングルでの撮影を心がけてくれて、良い思い出もバッチリでした。
ピナイサーラの滝壺での撮影は手が込んでおりベリーグーです！
また行く際にはツアーをお願いしようと思います。
有難うございました。

I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time, and thanks to the guide who taught us carefully both on land and on the water, I was able to finish the tour safely and enjoyably! The scenery when I was paddleboarding in such a beautiful place is still fresh in my mind! The guide also shared information about restaurants and spots on Ishigaki Island while we were in the car, so it was a satisfying tour!

初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、ガイドさんが陸と水上で丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しく安全にツアーを終えることができました！綺麗な場所でSUPした時の光景がまだ頭の中に残っています！
飲食店やスポットなど石垣島のことも車内の中で教えてくれたので、満足なツアーでした！

Naoki's instructions and way of speaking were very easy to understand. The canoe experience was a lot of fun, so I was satisfied, but I was very disappointed that I couldn't make it to the top during the Pumpkin Cave tour. It was too regrettable to see others going up while I couldn't. I wanted to go up more than I wanted to dive from the pumpkin.

なおきさんの、注意事項や話し方がとてもわかりやすかったです。
カヌー体験はとてもたのしかったので、満足でしたが、パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーについては、上まで上がれなかったことは、とても残念でした。上まで上がっている方を見ながら何故行けないのか、残念すぎでした。パンプキンからのダイブより、上まで上がりたかったです。

I received feedback immediately after the challenge, which helped me identify areas for improvement. Despite the rough waves and being a beginner, I was able to ride the waves. Thank you for the generous support. I had a great time.

挑戦後すぐにフィードバックをいただいたことで、改善点がわかり、荒れた波で難易度が高い状態かつ初心者にもかかわらず波に乗ることができました。手厚いサポートをしていただき、ありがとうございました。とても楽しかったです。

A tour I wanted to experience once.
It was quite challenging for me due to my lack of exercise!
With the help of the guide, it was very enjoyable.

Thank you! 😊

一度体験したかったツアー
運動不足の僕には大変でしたが！
ガイドさんの助けもありとても楽しかったです

ありがとうございました😊

Overall, it was a great activity. It was my first time wearing a suit, but I was able to put it on smoothly. The sea was just the right temperature, and I was able to enjoy it. The guide took photos throughout and distributed them, which was nice.

概ね、良いアクティビティとなりました。スーツも初めてでしたが、スムーズに着ることができました。海もちょうど良い温度で、楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが随時写真を撮ってくれてそれを配ってくれたので良かったです。

I participated in a snorkeling tour for the first time in Okinawa. At first, I was scared and anxious because I didn't know how to breathe, but thanks to the very kind support of the instructor, I gradually relaxed. The underwater scenery was truly beautiful, and I was able to experience feeding the fish. Before I knew it, time flew by, and it became such a fun experience that I thought, "I want to dive more!" Looking back now, I often murmur, "Snorkeling was so much fun, I want to go again."

The local instructor who guided us was a wonderful person who really felt like they loved Okinawa, summer, and the sea. Meeting them is also a great memory. I was grateful for the privilege of having a private instructor. I definitely want to request them again next time!

沖縄で初めてシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。最初は怖さもあり、呼吸の仕方**がわからずとても不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても親切にサポートしてくれたおかげで、だんだんとリラックスできました。海の中の景色は本当に美しく、餌付けなども体験でき、気づけば時間があっという間に過ぎ「もっと潜っていたい！」と思うほど楽しい体験になりました。今振り返っても、「シュノーケリング楽しかったなぁ、また行きたいなぁ」とつぶやいています。
今回担当してくださった地元出身のインストラクターは、本当に沖縄！夏！海が好きなんだなぁと感じる素敵な方で、その方と出会えたことも良い思い出です。貸切でインストラクターがつくという特権にも感謝でした。次回もぜひお願いしたいです！

This was a half-day canoe experience. Our guide, Mr. Seki, was truly wonderful and provided accurate guidance, allowing us to enjoy the activity safely throughout. We learned a lot, including recommendations for shops and explanations about the mangroves. I definitely want to go again. Thank you very much.

今回半日のカヌー体験でした。
担当ガイドの関さんが本当に素晴らしく的確なガイドをしてくださり、終始安全にアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
おすすめのお店や、マングローブの説明など学びも多かったです。
ぜひまた行きたいと思えました。
ありがとうございました。

We canoed and trekked to the Pinaisara Falls. Climbing up and down, then canoeing again! You need to be fit, but I saw a family on the way, with the mother carrying a baby on her back. Amazing!
We felt rushed due to time constraints as we were heading to Yubu Island in the afternoon to ride the water buffalo cart, and I wish we could have enjoyed a bit more of nature. Next time I come to Iriomote Island, I plan to schedule with more flexibility.

カヌーを漕ぎ、ピナイサーラの滝までトレッキング。登って降りて、またカヌーを漕ぐ！体力がないとダメだけど、途中ですれ違った家族、お母さんが赤ちゃんを背負っていました。すごい！
私たちは、午後から由布島に行く水牛車に乗るため、時間の関係で急がされた感じがあり、もう少し自然を感じることが出来たら良かったと思います。
次に西表島に来る時は、余裕を持ってスケジュールを立てようと思います。

I went snorkeling for the first time! At first, I was a bit confused about how to use the fins and snorkel, but with a life jacket, I didn't have to worry about drowning, and once I got used to it, I could swim quite comfortably.

There were colorful fish swimming right in front of me, and it was truly beautiful. On the sea turtle tour, I was able to see a turtle sleeping on the ocean floor. However, since it was quite deep, it felt a bit distant. It was different from what I had seen in photos. But I was really happy to see a wild turtle that I had longed for.

One downside was that there were no changing rooms on the boat, so I had to change in the shared restroom. I thought I could change at the port's changing room, but once we arrived, we had to get on the shuttle bus right away, so I couldn't use it.

Also, some of the staff were a bit rude to the guests. Since most of the participants were foreigners, they probably thought we couldn't hear them... It was shocking and a bit off-putting.

Overall, I had a very good experience and I'm satisfied!

初めてシュノーケリングをしました！最初はフィンやシュノーケルの使い方に戸惑いましたが、ライフジャケットがあるので溺れる心配もないし慣れれば結構快適に泳げます。
目の前を色とりどりの魚が泳ぎ回っていて本当に綺麗でした。
ウミガメツアーでは海底で寝ているカメを見る事が出来ました。が、結構深い海底のため何となくアレかなぁといった感じ。写真で見るのと実際とでは違いました。でも念願の野生のカメを見れて嬉しかったです。
少し残念だったのは、船の中に更衣室はなく共用トイレで着替えなければいけなかったこと。港の更衣室で着替えればいいと思っていましたが、着いたらすぐ送迎バスに乗るため港の更衣室は使えませんでした。
またスタッフの中には客に対して口の悪い方がいます。参加者が殆ど外国の方なので多分聞こえないと思っているのでしょうが...衝撃でちょっと引いてしまいました。
全体としてはとても良い体験ができて満足です！

It was my first time snorkeling in the ocean and stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, but thanks to the friendly guide and my friends, I had a great time! Playing in the water felt wonderful, and I made many memorable memories. Thank you very much! I hope to have the opportunity to do it again!

海でシュノーケリングをしたりマングローブでSUPするのも初めてでしたが、優しいガイドさんや友達のおかげで楽しめました！
水で遊ぶの気持ちよかったし、心に残る思い出がたくさんできました。
ありがとうございました！また機会があればよろしくお願いします！

I was worried about the impact of the typhoon, but the sea was calm with colorful corals and tropical fish, and I was able to see two types of turtles. The staff took many photos of me while I was snorkeling.

台風の影響が心配でしたが、海は波も穏やかで色とりどりの珊瑚と熱帯魚に加え、２種類の亀を見ることができました。
スタッフの方からシュノーケリング中に何枚も写真を撮ってもらえました。

Since I had experienced the same activity in another place, I hoped for a "serious mode." They listened to various requests I had, so it was enjoyable.

他の場所で同じアクティビティを体験していたので、「本気モード」を希望。
こちらの希望をいろいろと聞いて下さるので、楽しかったですよ。

I experienced parasailing for the first time in Okinawa. It’s safe and enjoyable, but looking down from above can be a bit scary. However, you won’t get wet, and it’s great that you can take pictures of the scenery with your smartphone from up high!

初めての沖縄で初めてのパラセーリングを体験しました。
安全に楽しむことができますが、上空から下を見たらちょっと怖いかも。
でも濡れることはないし、上空から自分のスマホで景色を撮影できるし良かったですよ！

I experienced both the pumpkin cave tour and stand-up paddleboarding in Miyako Island!

On the first day, the waves were rough, and the pumpkin tour was canceled, so I quickly switched to stand-up paddleboarding. The next day, I was able to go on the pumpkin tour, and I was completely satisfied with both experiences!

The instructor for both days was Soma Massuru! True to his name, he was muscular, cool, and reliable, which gave me a great sense of security with his impressive stamina. His teaching was thorough and easy to understand, allowing me to relax and enjoy even as a beginner. Above all, the time spent together was enjoyable and reassuring!

Thank you for recommending so many great places! The beauty of the ocean was, of course, stunning, and I took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories. I would definitely like to request your services again when I visit Miyako Island! Thank you so much!!

宮古島でパンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーとサップ、どちらも体験しました！
初日は波が荒くてパンプキンが中止になり、急遽サップに変更させていただきました。
次の日にパンプキンツアーに行けて、どちらも大満足でした！

インストラクターは2日間とも、そうまっするさん！名前の通りマッチョでかっこよくて頼もしく、体力もすごいので安心感抜群でした。教え方も丁寧でわかりやすく、初めてでもリラックスして楽しめました。何より一緒に過ごす時間そのものが楽しくて心強かったです！
おすすめの場所もたくさん教えてくださり、ありがとうございました^^

海の綺麗さはもちろん、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、最高の思い出になりました。また宮古島に行くときはぜひお願いしたいです！本当にありがとうございました！！

The weather was great and the view was amazing. The guide's explanations were very enjoyable, and I was excited the whole way until we reached the island of illusions! The sea was so beautiful that I was surprised.

天気がよくて最高の眺めでした
ガイドの案内もとても楽しくて幻の島につくまでずっとわくわくでした！海が綺麗すぎてびっくりしました

I was so happy to see an incredibly beautiful beach. I'm glad I was finally able to land on the island of my dreams that I've always wanted to visit. The guide was cheerful and shared fun stories, which made the experience really enjoyable. I want to come back again.

めちゃくちゃ綺麗なビーチを見る事ができて幸せでした。ずっと行ってみたかった幻の島に今回上陸できて良かったです。ガイドさんも明るくて楽しいお話をしてくださってすごく楽しめました。また来たいです。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island and my first time doing SUP, and I had a great time! The guide was friendly and shared recommendations for restaurants, making the car ride enjoyable as well. This time I did SUP, but I think I’ll try canoeing next time.

初めての石垣島、初めてのsupでしたがとても楽しめました！ガイドの方もフレンドリーでおすすめの飲食店など教えていただき車内も楽しく過ごせました😆今回はsupでしたが次回はカヌーにチャレンジしようと思います。

I was nervous during the first activity, but thanks to the kind guidance of the instructor, I had a great time! Thank you very much!

初めてのアクティビティで緊張しましたが、ガイドさんが優しく教えてくださったおかげですごく楽しめました！！ありがとうございました！

My 3-year-old had a great time, and the instructor was wonderful and fun. I highly recommend the beach picnic for small children!

3歳の子どももすごく楽しめてインストラクターさんも素敵で楽しかったです。
海ピクニックは小さい子どもにおすすめですよ！

I experienced snorkeling near the Blue Cave for about an hour. The weather was bad that day with high waves, but I was able to see fish that usually don't come to shallow waters, so it seems like the weather doesn't matter much unless it's pouring rain. When the sun peeked out occasionally, the sea was very blue, and there were many colorful fish, which was beautiful. I was very satisfied because I even saw Nemo.

Regarding the activity arrangements, I received a call for final confirmation around 5 PM the day before, which was reassuring. Originally, I had booked a plan for two activities, SUP and snorkeling, in the morning, but due to a lack of participants, I ended up only experiencing snorkeling. Since it was my first time, I was quite tired, so I think it was fine to just do snorkeling.

1時間ほど青の洞窟付近の海でシュノーケリングを体験しました。当日は天気が悪く波が高かったのですが、その分普段浅瀬にいないような魚たちが見れたそうなので、天気は大雨じゃない限りは気にしなくて良さそうです。
たまに晴れ間が見えた時に海がとても青く、カラフルな魚がたくさんいて綺麗でした。ニモも見れたのでとても満足感が高いです。
アクティビティの調整については、前日の17時過ぎくらいに電話がかかってきて最終確認が出来たので安心できました。もともと予約をしていたSUPとシュノーケリングの2アクティビティを午前のみで行うプランについては、人数不足ということでシュノーケリングだけを体験することになりましたが、初めてだったこともありかなり疲れたのでシュノーケリングだけで良かったと思います。

I had the opportunity to experience pumpkin caves and sea turtle snorkeling with the guide from Soma Sur. Along the way, I learned about the meanings of the flowers blooming on the roadside and the names of the fish swimming in the sea. It was a fun time, not just limited to the activities! I plan to use their services again when I visit Miyako Island.

そーまっするさんのガイドでパンプキン鍾乳洞、ウミガメシュノーケリングを体験させて頂きました！
道中に咲いてる花の花言葉や、海中で泳ぐ魚の名前など、アクティビティ以外でもガイド頂き楽しいひと時を過ごせました！
まだ宮古島へ行く際は利用させて頂こうと思っております。

You can enjoy the Riverwalk, diving into the river, natural water slides, and ziplining for about three hours. Although there were concerns about the event due to rain, the staff checked the rain cloud radar and the condition of the river multiple times, ensuring safety while proceeding with the activities. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic, which doubled the fun. They also took plenty of videos and photos, leaving me very satisfied.

リバーウォーク・川への飛び込み・自然のウォータースライダー・ジップラインを3時間くらいかけて楽しめます
雨が降って開催が危ぶまれましたが　スタッフの方が雨雲レーダーや川の様子を何度もチェックして安全を考慮しながら催行してくれました
スタッフの方が親切で盛り上げてくれるので楽しさ倍増でした
たくさん動画や写真も撮ってくれて大満足でした

I was grateful that they came to pick me up at the hotel, allowing me to participate without a rental car. The instructor was cheerful and kind, and although he wasn't from Okinawa, he shared a lot of information, making the journey enjoyable.

When I first entered the Blue Cave, I thought, "Is this it???" But the excitement when I reached the actual spot was incredible! It was so beautiful, and it was a view I wanted to keep looking at. Feeding the fish on the way back was surprising because so many came over, and their little munching was adorable.

Time flew by, but I had a great time. Thank you!

ホテルまでお迎えに来て下さり、レンタカー無しでも参加出来て有り難かったです。
インストラクターさんも明るく親切な方で、沖縄の方ではなかったけど色んな情報教えて下さり、道中も楽しかったです。
青の洞窟は入った時はここ？？？って言う印象でしたが、本当ポイントに来た時の感動が！！すごい綺麗で、ずっと見ていたい景色でした。帰りのお魚さんにご飯あげるのも、びっくりするくらい沢山寄ってきてくれて、パクパクしてる姿が可愛かったです。
あっという間に時間が経ってしまいましたが、とても楽しめました。ありがとうございます。

I hadn't made any plans before arriving at Iriomote Island, but I was interested in canyoning and was looking for a place that allowed same-day reservations. For now, I signed up for a half-day canyoning session, and since it was my first time, I had a great time. Everyone else was from overseas, but the guide explained everything in both English and Japanese, and all the participants got really into it, making it a lot of fun. Next time, I would like to join a different course. Thank you very much.

西表島に着くまで何も決めていませんでしたが、キャニオニングには興味があり、当日予約でも可能なところを探していました。
一先ず、半日でキャニオニングのみでと申し込みましたが、初めてだったので充分に楽しめました。
私達以外は海外の方ばかりでしたが、ガイドさんが英語と日本語で説明してくださって、参加者皆んなで盛り上がり、とても楽しかったです。次回は、別のコースでも参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

In mid-April, it was a bit chilly, but the weather was great, making it an amazing tour! The miso soup after snorkeling was comforting...! The staff were all friendly and took lots of photos for us. Thank you so much! ♡

4月中旬、少し肌寒かったですが天気にも恵まれ最高なツアーでした！
シュノーケル後のお味噌汁が沁みました…！スタッフの方々も皆さんフレンドリーでたくさん写真も撮ってくれます。ありがとうございました♡

My first time in Ishigaki Island, and I felt reassured with the hotel pick-up service. Sebastian was very cheerful and introduced us to recommended restaurants during the transfer, along with some perks outside of the tour.

Canoeing was a first for me, but they taught me very carefully and were always watching over me, so I could participate with peace of mind.

Even on a cloudy day, snorkeling allowed us to see beautiful corals and fish, which was very satisfying.

Hiroki, our guide, was very pleasant, and we were able to enjoy the day thoroughly.

You can't experience this kind of reassurance without being on a tour!

初めての石垣島、ホテルまで送迎してもらえて安心でした　セバスチャンがとても明るく送迎中、オススメの飲食店を紹介してくれてツアー外の特典あり
カヌーは初めてでしたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらえて常に見守ってくれていたので安心して参加できました
シュノーケリングは曇りの日でもキレイな珊瑚やお魚が見れて大満足
担当のひろきさんがとても感じがよくて、1日楽しく過ごすことができました
ツアーでないと安心して、この体験は味わえない！
