All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I participated with my high school daughter and another person.

Everyone was a beginner, but it was much easier and more enjoyable than canoeing.

Since there were only three of us, the instructor was very kind and skillfully praised us while guiding us step by step (laughs).

They picked us up from the hotel, and after the activity, we had dinner reservations near the island terminal, so we asked for a ride to the terminal, and they kindly took us right to the restaurant.

I’m really glad we chose this experience. Thank you very much!

高校生の娘と三人で参加。
皆初心者だったのですが
カヌーとかよりも全然楽で楽しめました。

たまたま、３人だけだったので
手とり足とりとてもやさしく上手に褒めながら(笑)
教えていただけました。

ホテルにお迎え、終了後は夕食を離島ターミナル周辺で予約していたので離島ターミナルまで送迎をお願いしたところお店のそばまで送っていただけました。

こちらでお世話になってよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I booked a mangrove kayak tour, but due to heavy rain, it was deemed dangerous, so they changed it to a beach snorkeling experience. They made a quick decision and provided an alternative plan.

Given the many accidents that occur in marine sports, I appreciate their safety-first approach, which builds trust. The snorkeling was also a great choice, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea immensely.

The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable. I would love to use their services again.

マングローブカヤックで予約しましたが、大雨の影響で危険とのことで、ビーチシュノーケルに変更してくださいました。迅速な判断と他のプランを用意くださいました。
マリンスポーツでの事故も多い中で、安全第一の判断をしてくださり、信用ができます。
シュノーケルも大正解で、とても美しい海を堪能できました。
ガイドさんも知識豊富でとっても楽しい時間でした。また利用したいです。

Due to the weather and the number of participants, we switched from SUP + snorkeling at Cape Kawaiwa to mangrove SUP. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed at first, but it turned out to be incredibly fun!

Akiyama, our guide, kept the atmosphere lively and engaged with us, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience throughout✨. Thanks to that, I was able to naturally converse with other guests, and the overall vibe of the tour was really great! The time spent leisurely moving through the mangroves was also very pleasant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience in its own right🌿. Although the plan changed, it became a wonderful memory! Thank you so much😊.

天候と催行人数の関係で、川平湾でのSUP＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングからマングローブSUPに変更になりました。
正直ちょっと残念だなーと思っていたのですが、結果めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

担当してくださった秋山さんがずっと明るく話しかけてくださって、場を盛り上げてくれたおかげで終始リラックスして楽しめました✨
そのおかげで他のお客さんとも自然に会話ができて、ツアー全体がすごくいい雰囲気だったのも印象的でした！
マングローブの中をゆったり進む時間もすごく気持ちよくて、これはこれで大当たりでした🌿
変更になったけど、むしろ良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました😊

Although the weather was unfortunate and we couldn't see the sunset, it was still a satisfying experience to navigate through the mangroves and relax in the gentle flow of the river. Spending time in such a unique landscape was truly enjoyable.

The guide was very friendly and not only shared information about nature but also talked about local cuisine and drinks, making the entire experience fun.

Since we missed the sunset this time, I would like to try again on a day with better weather.

天気があいにくで夕日は見られませんでしたが、マングローブの中を進んだり、川の流れにゆったり身を任せたり、それだけでも十分満足できる体験でした。普段なかなかできない景色の中で過ごせて、とても良い時間でした。
ガイドの方はとても気さくで、自然の話だけでなく、地元のグルメやお酒の話までいろいろ教えてくださり、終始楽しく過ごせました。
今回はサンセットは見られなかったので、また天気の良い日に再チャレンジしたいと思います。

We participated as a family of 10! The handsome guys and girls kept us laughing the whole time and took tons of photos while doing a great job as guides! Unfortunately, we couldn't challenge ourselves with the SUP due to bad weather, but it was truly a fun half-day. We'll definitely try again! Thank you!!

家族10人で参加しました！
終始笑わせてくれるイケメンお兄さんとお姉さんが、たっっっくさんの写真、ガイドを頑張ってくださいました！
残念ながら悪天候のためsupはチャレンジできませんでしたが、本当に楽しい半日でした。
またリベンジします！
ありがとうー！！

I participated in a one-day tour. I requested a pickup service, but it seems that during busy periods, the pickup may not be available the day before. Since I didn't have a rental car, I was very grateful for the pickup service.

In the morning, we did SUP at Ingyā, and in the afternoon, we went snorkeling at Turtle Bay, which was packed with activities. Our tour guide, Yume-chan, was very kind, and my child was able to participate with peace of mind!

The underwater scenery was truly beautiful, and we were able to see turtles up close, which was very cute. Thank you very much!

１日ツアーに参加しました。
送迎付きをお願いしましたが、混んでいる時期だと前日に送迎不可になることもあるようです。レンタカー無しだったので、送迎していただけて大変ありがたかったです。
午前中にインギャーでSUP、午後からタートルベイでシュノーケリングと盛りだくさんでしたが、ツアーガイドのゆめちゃんには親切にしていただき、子どもも安心して参加できました！
海の中は本当に綺麗で、カメさんも近くで見る事ができて、とても可愛かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and our guide was very cheerful and fun. Every moment from the talks inside the tour until it ended was enjoyable! There are other tours available, and I'm looking forward to participating in those as well! Even those who can't swim are well taken care of, so anyone can join with peace of mind!

天気も良くて担当ガイドの方もすごく明るく楽しい社内の中のトークからツアーが終わるまでの全ての時間が楽しかったです！
また違うツアーがありますので、そちらの方も参加するのが楽しみです！
泳げない方でもしっかり対応してくださるので誰でも安心して参加できます！

We participated in Hina's tour as a family. There were small children with us, but we were taught very carefully. Everyone in the family was very satisfied. We would like to participate again.

ひなさんのツアーに家族で参加しました。
小さい子どももいましたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらいました。家族全員大満足でした。また参加したいです。

I participated in this during my honeymoon✨

The snorkeling aimed at sea turtles… unfortunately, we didn’t see any this time 🥺 lol. I was a bit disappointed, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, and there were so many fish, so I was more than satisfied with that! I definitely want to try again for the sea turtles 🐢.

The sea kayaking used more energy than I expected, and it felt like a little adventure, which was fun 😂. At first, I was worried about whether I could paddle well, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, so I could enjoy it without any worries! It felt amazing to move through nature 🌿.

The Pumpkin Cave was more impressive in person than in photos, and I was surprised! Once inside, it had a mystical atmosphere, and I think it was a rare experience that you can't have often✨.

Our guide was "Hiro-san" from Kansai dialect. He was bright, cheerful, kind, and always attentive, which made me feel safe participating! It became a wonderful memory of our honeymoon, and I would definitely recommend this tour if you come to Miyako Island 🌺✨.

新婚旅行で参加しました✨

ウミガメ狙いのシュノーケリングは…今回は会えず🥺笑
ちょっと悔しかったですが、海がとにかく綺麗で魚もたくさんいて、それだけでも大満足でした！
ウミガメはまたリベンジしたいです🐢

シーカヤックは思っていたよりしっかり体力を使って、ちょっとした冒険感があって楽しかったです😂
最初はうまく進めるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれるので安心して楽しめました！
自然の中を進んでいく感じがすごく気持ちよかったです🌿

パンプキン鍾乳洞は、写真で見るよりも迫力があってびっくりしました！
実際に中に入ると神秘的な雰囲気で、なかなかできない貴重な体験だと思います✨

ガイドは関西弁の”ひろさん”が担当でした。
明るく元気で、優しくて、終始気にかけてくださり安心して参加できました！
新婚旅行のとても良い思い出になりましたし、宮古島に来たらぜひおすすめしたいツアーです🌺✨

Finally got to try SUP at Kawahira Bay. The wind blowing down from the mountains was strong, making it difficult to maintain balance, but I was able to glide smoothly over the water. Even if I fell into the sea, I felt safe wearing a life jacket. The instructor was very attentive, so even beginners can give it a try!

*The photo is of the scenery at Kawahira Bay, which is different from the location where we did SUP.

念願の川平湾でのSUP。
山から吹き下ろす風が強く、バランスを取るのが大変でしたが、気持ち良く海の上を進むことができました。海に落ちてしまっても、ライフジャケットを着ているので安心です。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者の方でもチャレンジできます！

※写真はSUPを実施する場所とは異なる川平湾の風景です。

In addition to the popular canoeing and waterfalls, we also explored a limestone cave. From the entrance, I felt a thrill of excitement as I thought, "Am I really going in here?" As we made our way through the cave along the flowing water, there were beautiful spots where light streamed in, providing a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere. Including places like the Pinai Sara Falls, our guide shared various insights and was very friendly, making it a wonderful tour!

メジャーなカヌー・滝に加え鍾乳洞も探検しました。入り口から、ここに入るのか！という感じでワクワクし、水の流れに沿って鍾乳洞を抜けていくと差し込む光が美しい場所もあり、なかなか他ではできない体験を味わえました。
ピナイサーラの滝なども含めて、ガイドさんも様々なことを教えてくれ、人当たりもよく素敵なツアーになりました！

They kindly accommodated my sudden request for an additional fun dive. Since it had been a while since my last dive, they even arranged for an instructor to ensure I could dive at a comfortable pace. I forgot to ask for their name, but I felt safe while diving. Thank you!

急なファンダイブ追加にも快く対応いただきました。久しぶりのダイビングだったので、ゆっくり潜れるようにわざわざインストラクターさんを付けて下さいました。お名前を伺うのを忘れてしまいましたが安心して潜れました。ありがとう。

初めてのカヤック体験でしたがスタッフが丁寧に教えてくれたので、安心して乗れました。自然を身近に感じられてすごく良かったです。

I participated in a group with an odd number of people, and I was kayaking alone. There were others who also joined alone, so it was fine, no problem at all! If there are any of you who are hesitant about participating alone, don't worry. I highly recommend it. Next time, I definitely want to join for the sunset.

自分は奇数人数グループでの参加で、私は一人カヤックでした。
他にも一人参加されている方もいましたし、大丈夫、問題なしです！
一人参加で迷ってる方いらっしましたら、心配なし。おススメですよ。
次回はぜひ、サンセットで参加したいです。

I was able to fully enjoy sunrise SUP while watching sea creatures like coral reefs, sea turtles, and sea snakes.

I appreciated that transportation was provided from the hotel to the location and back after the experience, which made it comfortable without the burden of moving around.

The guide was very kind and not only carefully taught us the basics of paddling but also provided detailed explanations about the creatures in the sea. It was a wonderful experience that allowed me to enjoy it with peace of mind, even as a first-timer, and it was such a fulfilling time that I definitely want to participate again.

サンゴ礁やウミガメ、海ヘビなどの海の生き物を眺めながら、サンライズサップを満喫することができました。

ホテルから現地まで、そして体験後のホテルへの送迎もしていただけたので、移動の負担もなく快適に過ごせたのがありがたかったです。

ガイドさんもとても親切で、サップの基本的な漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくださるだけでなく、海にいる生き物についても詳しく説明してくれました。初めてでも安心して楽しめる素晴らしい体験で、またぜひ参加したいと思える充実した時間でした。

It seemed to be a popular tour worldwide, with plenty of inbound guests. There were only two Japanese people, including myself. I was able to enjoy an atmosphere that felt like diving abroad. We were able to see whales beautifully, and the diving experience was enjoyable. However, since there was no free camera rental, I rated it four stars. Thank you very much.

世界中で人気のツアーのようでインバウンド客がいっぱいでした。日本人は私を含めて２名のみ。まるで海外でダイブする様な雰囲気を楽しめました。クジラも見事ウオッチできダイビングも楽しく終わりました。ただカメラ無料レンタルではなかったので星４つとさせて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

The gal sister from Miyako Island provided precise instructions and support, allowing for a fulfilling experience! She was very knowledgeable about the names of the fish, which was educational. I had a great time. Thank you very much!

宮古島のギャルお姉さんが的確な指示とフォローをしてくださり、充実した体験ができました！魚の名前もよくご存知で、勉強になりました！とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The snorkeling guides were Makocchan and Soutakun! Both were cheerful and friendly, and their explanations were easy to understand, making it enjoyable and reassuring even for first-timers.

The snorkeling location changed due to sea conditions, but it turned out to be a great decision! I was thrilled to swim with sea turtles, which was a dream come true 🐢✨✨ I got so excited that I almost drowned... haha.

And for my first time on a SUP, we went into the mangroves. The quiet and surreal scenery was breathtaking... it was incredibly healing!! ✨✨

I did fall off the SUP a few times, but that just added to the fun, and I made some amazing memories. ☺️

Thank you so much, Makocchan and Soutakun! I definitely want to go again! When I do, I hope to have you as my guides again! 🤘

シュノーケリングのガイドはまこっちゃんSUPはそうたくん！
どちらも明るくて気さくで説明もわかりやすく、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。

海の状況でシュノーケリングの場所は変更になりましたがそれが大当たり！！
念願の海亀と一緒に泳げて感動🐢✨✨
興奮しすぎてあわや溺れるかと…笑

そして初めてのSUPはマングローブの中へ。
静かで幻想的な景色が広がって…
めっちゃ癒されたーーーッ！！✨✨

しっかりSUPから落ち、掴みは👍
それも含めて楽しくて最高の思い出ができました。☺️

まこっちゃん、そうたくん
本当にありがとうございました😊
また絶対行きたいです！
その時はまたガイドよろしくーー🤘

I participated in a kayaking tour that started at 10 AM with my partner. To my surprise, all the other participants were foreigners! Before we got on the kayaks, our tour guide, Yuito, kindly explained how to use the paddles and the safety precautions in both Japanese and English. During the approximately one-hour tour, we were taken to some mystical locations, and we were able to take a lot of photos. After the tour, we returned our sandals and paddles, washed our feet, changed clothes, and finally wrote down our impressions of the day before concluding. The timing was pretty much on schedule.

I highly recommend this tour as it can be enjoyed by people of all ages!

十時スタートのカヤッキングツアーでカップルで参加しました。驚いたことに参加者が私以外外国人でした！カヤックに乗る前にツアーガイドのゆいとさんが日本語と英語で丁寧にオールの使い方や注意事項を説明してくださいました。約一時間のツアーで神秘的な場所にも連れて行ってもらい、写真もたくさん撮ってもらいました。ツアー終了後はサンダル、オールを返却し、足を洗って、着替えをして、最後に今日の感想を書いて終了です。おおよそ時間通りでした。
このツアーは老若男女楽しめるので皆さんにオススメしたいです。

I was able to see various kinds of fish, and I even got to meet a sea turtle, which made for the best memories! The guide was entertaining and explained everything clearly, and in the end, I jumped off from the second floor of the boat, haha! I thoroughly enjoyed the waters of Kerama!

様々な種類の魚が見れた他、
ウミガメにも会えて最高の思い出です！
ガイドさんも面白くわかりやすく説明してくださり、最後は船の二階から飛び込みww
慶良間の海を堪能できました！

I participated with eight high school students, and we had a great time, especially during the final race. The staff was very attentive and taught us well, so we felt safe and enjoyed ourselves!

高校生8人で参加させて貰ったんですが、最後競走などさせてもらって楽しかったです。
丁寧にスタッフの方が教えてくれるので安心安全で楽しめました！

The tour included snorkeling at the Phantom Island and a mangrove canoe experience, but due to the tides, we had to change the schedule to visit the Phantom Island in the morning and do the canoeing in the evening. As a result, we ended up with a sunset canoe experience, which was fantastic!

1. Phantom Island
Since it's not usually visible, I recommend checking the tide chart before making a reservation. It's incredibly beautiful and definitely a place you should visit! It might even be my favorite spot on Ishigaki Island!?

Additionally, the guide was very kind and responsive to our requests, providing us with many wonderful photos, which made us very satisfied.

2. Canoe
Considering sunburn, I recommend the sunset option! We smoothly paddled through the mangroves while listening to the sounds of birds, experiencing the jungle. The guide took many natural-looking photos, which again left us very satisfied. On our way back, they kindly recommended a great place to eat.

幻の島　シュノーケリングツアーとマングローブカヌー体験でしたが、潮の関係で続けてではなく、朝から幻の島、夕方からカヌーに変更になりました。
結果、サンセットカヌーになり最高でした！
①幻の島
普段は見られないため、潮見表で確認後予約をお勧めします。
とても綺麗で、絶対に行くべき場所！
石垣島で1番好きな場所かも!?
また、ガイドさんがとーっても親切でリクエストに応えて下さり、素敵な写真を沢山頂き、大満足でした。

②カヌー
日焼けを考えるとサンセットがお勧め！
マングローブのなかをカヌーでスイスイ漕いで鳥の鳴き声をききながらジャングル体験をできました。
ガイドさんがとっても自然な写真を沢山撮って頂き、これまた大満足。
帰りにはお勧めの食事屋さんも親切に教えていただきました。

I was able to enjoy both stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling safely. I don't have swimming skills or athletic ability, but I was provided with a life jacket, foot fins, and a wetsuit, so there were no problems.

There was about a two-hour gap between the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, which felt a bit long, so I thought it would be better if the intervals were shorter.

サップとシュノーケリングどちらも安全に楽しめました。泳ぎスキルも運動神経もないですが、ライフジャケット、足のフィン、ウェットスーツも渡していただけたので、問題ありませんでした。
サップとシュノーケリングの間に2時間ほど空き時間があるのが、時間を持て余したので、もう少し間が短いと良いなと思いました。

The guide, Dora, was really great. The other staff members were also very cheerful and kind. There were repeat visitors, and I understood the meaning of that.

ガイドのドーアさんが本当に良かったです。他のスタッフの方々もとても明るく親切でした。リピーターの方もいらっしゃってその意味が理解できました。

I participated for the first time. I was so nervous that at first, it was really scary, but once I got used to it, I had so much fun that I want to participate again.

初めて参加させてもらいました
緊張しすぎて最初は怖くて仕方がなかったがなれてきたら楽しくて楽しくてまた参加したい

Kayaking was my first experience in life. I've stayed in Yomitan several times, but I didn't know I could do it so close by. It was easy to participate in the city, so I joined without too many expectations, but the weather was nice, and I had a relaxing and enjoyable time. I learned a lot from the explanations about various plants. Even now that I'm back to my daily life in Okinawa, he keeps saying, "Kayaking was so much fun!" I think it's an easy activity to join since it only takes about two hours. I'm glad that my first kayaking experience went smoothly without any accidents (like falling into the river). I highly recommend it!

カヤック、人生初体験でした。
読谷に何度か宿泊しているのですが、こんな近場でできるなんて知らなかったです。
街中でお気軽に、、なので、期待しすぎず参加したのですが、天気もよく、
のんびり楽しい時間をすごせました。
いろいろな植物の説明をしてもらい、学ぶことも多かったです。
沖縄から日常に戻った今も、彼は｢カヤック楽しかったなー｣と言ってるぐらいです。
時間も2時間ぐらいなので、参加しやすいアクティビティだなーと思います。
初のカヤックも、ひとまず事故(川に落ちるとか)なく、なんとか漕げてよかった。
オススメです！

The weather is up to chance, so there's nothing we can do about it.
The magnificent scenery and mangroves were beautiful.
The kayaking experience was fun.
There are fewer photos.
The sense of style is a bit questionable.
🔰 Keep it up, Ryoma-kun!

天気は運次第だから仕方ない
雄大な景色、マングローブ
カヤック体験は楽しかった
写真少なめ
センス微妙
🔰リョーマくん頑張って！

They taught me how to ride carefully, and I was able to ride easily even as a beginner. I was moved by the beauty of the ocean, the stunning scenery, and the pleasant breeze! I'm so glad I did it!!

Unfortunately, due to bad weather, I couldn't go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but they were very accommodating. I want to try again!

乗り方から丁寧に教えてくださり、初めてでも簡単に乗ることができました。
海の美しさや綺麗な景色、心地よい風、全てに感動しました！やってよかったです！！

残念ながら天候不良で、青の洞窟のシュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、丁寧に対応していただきました。リベンジしたいです！

I realized the importance of rowing in sync rather than selfishly. At first, I thought it wasn't fun when I was rowing alone and kept bumping into branches or colliding with others. But when I rowed together properly, we gained speed and stability, and it became really enjoyable.
From a 6th-grade boy.

自分勝手にこぐのではなく、いきを合わしてこぐ、大切さが分かりました。最初、一人でこいで木の枝にぶつかったり、他とあたったりと楽しくないと思いました。でもしっかりいっしよにこいだらスピードがでたり、安定したりとても楽しいと思いました。

"One-day experience of the Mangrove SUP or Canoe Tour with optional landing on the Phantom Island and snorkeling!" Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't go canoeing and had to shorten it to half a day. The weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, so it couldn't be helped.

We set off in the rain in the morning. By the time we arrived at the Phantom Island, the rain had stopped, and it was beautiful! After that, we moved on to snorkeling. It was incredibly beautiful, and I was very satisfied.

Thank you, Hayabusa-kun!

『マングローブSUPorカヌーツアー 選べる幻の島上陸＆シュノーケリング付きも！』の１日体験の予定が、天気の都合でカヌーには乗れず半日に。石垣島の天気は変わりやすいのでこれはやむなし。
午前中雨の中出発。幻の島に到着する頃には雨もやみ、きれいでしたよー。
そこから移動してシュノーケリング。すんごくきれいで大満足。
隼くんありがとう〜
