All Reviews for Snorkeling

The weather was perfect, making for an amazing day. I am very grateful to our guides, Macchan and Sugichan, for providing such a fun time! During the mangrove tour, we were able to see a crested serpent eagle flying very close and hear its calls clearly. I was worried about whether I could paddle in the canoe since it was my first time, but they taught us very patiently, and my daughter and I managed just fine. You will get wet from the waist down, but you get used to it quickly. Even though it's February, the weather was so nice, and I was surprised by the strength of the sunlight. I regretted not being more prepared for sunburn. The cuteness of the water buffalo was healing. I couldn't help but laugh at Kirara, the water buffalo, as she worked while making sounds. The time spent at Yubu Island was only one hour, and it felt too short, especially since the interaction and photo opportunities with the water buffalo were crowded; I wished we had a bit more time. Even during the bus ride, Macchan kept us entertained with his guidance, so we never got bored. I'm glad I participated in this all-inclusive tour. I highly recommend taking a tour rather than going solo.

天気に恵まれ最高の1日になりました。ガイドのまっちゃん、すぎちゃんのお二人に楽しい時間をもらえた事、とても感謝します！マングローブツアーではカンムリワシがとても近くで飛んではっきり姿を見れ鳴声も聞けました。初めてのカヌーで前に進めるか心配でしたがとても丁寧に教えて頂き娘と二人でも大丈夫でした。お尻から下は濡れます、でもすぐ慣れます。2月なのにとても天気が良く日差しの強さにビックリです。日焼け対策甘かったと後悔しました。水牛の可愛らしさに癒されました。水牛のキララちゃんが鳴きながらお仕事する姿に思わず笑ってしまいました。水牛とのふれあい撮影が混んでいると由布島の滞在時間1時間ではあっという間で、もう少し時間欲しかったです。移動のバスの中でもまっちゃんがガイドしてくれるので退屈しませんでした。至れり尽くせりのツアーで参加して良かったです。個人でまわるよりツアーおすすめです

I stayed at a hotel on Iriomote Island, and I was very grateful for the free shuttle service to the hotel. The weather was unusually clear for this time of year, and it was warm! In the morning, we took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Each water buffalo has its own personality, and the relaxed time we spent was wonderful. Yubu Island has many attractions, and there was so much to see that we didn't have enough time. In the afternoon, we went kayaking (you can also choose SUP) through the mangroves. You definitely need clothes that can get wet since your backside will get soaked, but the experience of being surrounded by nature was truly moving. Our guide, Shu, explained everything about Iriomote Island in detail and took lots of photos, which added to our memories. It's a tour that beginners can join with confidence.

西表島ホテルに宿泊していましたが、ホテルまで無料送迎していただけてとても助かりました。天気もこの時期ではあまりない快晴だったようで、暖かかったです！午前中は水牛車で由布島へ。水牛それぞれに性格があって可愛く、のんびりした時間が最高でした。由布島は見どころが多く、時間が足りないくらい充実しています。午後はカヤック（SUPも選べます）でマングローブの中へ。お尻がしっかり濡れるので濡れてもいい服必須ですが、大自然に包まれる体験は感動もの。ガイドのShuさんが西表島のことも丁寧に説明してくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて思い出が増えました。初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーです。

It was my first time snorkeling domestically, but the facilities were well-equipped and the staff were friendly, so I had a fun and comfortable experience. I truly think the beauty of Kerama Blue is amazing. I was also satisfied to see whales.

国内シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、設備が整っていて、スタッフも親切だったので楽しく快適に過ごしました。慶良間ブルーの美しさは本当に素晴らしいと思います。
クジラも見られて満足しました。

The sightseeing in Yubu Island was a wonderfully relaxing experience. The time spent crossing the sea on a water buffalo cart felt special, and I was delighted to see the water buffalo up close. Their calm expressions and strong presence were truly soothing.

The island is filled with subtropical plants, and I was excited to see the vibrant flowers and large trees that are not often seen in everyday life. It was a lovely place where I could feel the richness of nature and enjoy a leisurely time.

The mangrove kayaking tour I experienced in Iriomote Island was incredibly fun. As we gently paddled down the river, we were able to see the mangrove forests up close, allowing me to forget my daily routine and refresh myself. Even as a beginner, I felt safe and enjoyed the experience because I was taught carefully. It was a wonderful experience that reminded me of the joy of moving my body in nature.

由布島の観光は、のんびりとした時間が流れていてとても心地よい体験でした。水牛車に揺られながら海を渡る時間は特別感があり、間近で水牛を見ることができて嬉しかったです。穏やかな表情や力強い姿に癒されました。
島内には亜熱帯の植物がたくさんあり、普段なかなか見ることのない色鮮やかな花や大きな木々にワクワクしました。自然の豊かさを感じられる、ゆったりと楽しめる素敵な場所でした。

西表島で体験したマングローブカヤックツアーは、本当に楽しかったです。ゆったりと川を進みながら、間近でマングローブ林を見ることができ、日常を忘れてリフレッシュできました。初めてでも丁寧に教えてもらえたので安心して楽しめましたし、自然の中で体を動かす気持ちよさを改めて実感できる素敵な体験でした。

I participated in a sea turtle snorkeling tour and beach SUP. I was worried it might be cold since it was February, but thanks to the wetsuit, I was able to snorkel without any issues. Compared to summer, the winter sea has higher visibility, and I could clearly see the seabed and the fish swimming in the distance. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any sea turtles this time, so I would like to try again in the summer. The SUP was held in an area with little wave action, making it easy for beginners to try. The instructor taught us various things, and it turned out to be a wonderful trip. Thank you very much! I look forward to visiting Miyako Island again.

ウミガメシュノーケリングツアーとビーチSUPに参加しました。2月なので寒いのではないかと心配でしたが、ウェットスーツのおかけで問題なくシュノーケリングできました。夏に比べて冬の海の透明度は高く、海底がはっきりみえて遠くにいる魚達もよく見えました。今回はウミガメは見ることはできなかったので、次回は夏に再挑戦したいと思います。SUPは波の少ないところでの開催だったので、初心者の方でも挑戦しやすいと思います。インストラクターの方にも色々なことを教えていただき、素敵な旅になりました☆ありがとうございました。また宮古島に旅行の際にはよろしくお願いいたします。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island, and even with the limited time of half a day, it was a very fulfilling tour where I could fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island!

During the initial mangrove canoe experience, it wasn't just about enjoying the scenery; the instructor explained the types of mangroves and various creatures in an easy-to-understand manner, allowing us to truly feel the nature of Iriomote Island.

We crossed the sea to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. On Yubu Island, we had about an hour of free time, which was enough to enjoy taking pictures with the water buffalo. Even during the bus ride, we were introduced to many interesting facts about Iriomote Island, making the travel time enjoyable and never boring.

石垣島から日帰りで参加しましたが、半日という限られた時間でも西表島の大自然をしっかり満喫できる、とても充実したツアーでした！
最初のマングローブカヌー体験では、ただ景色を楽しむだけでなく、インストラクターの方がマングローブの種類や生き物の話などを分かりやすく教えてくださり、西表島の自然を感じることができました。
由布島へは水牛車に乗って海を渡りました。由布島では約1時間の自由時間がありましたが、水牛と写真を撮ったりと十分に楽しめました。移動中のバスでも西表島に関する豆知識をたくさん紹介していただき、移動時間も退屈することなく、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。

I visited in February! It was a cloudy day with strong winds, and the river was choppy. It seems that this time of year has a lot of rain and windy days.

The mangrove canoeing was challenging because of the wind, but it was also a fun experience in the jungle's natural environment! I was able to see the mangrove trees up close! I was amazed and moved to learn that they grow slowly and many are over 100 years old!

The sightseeing at Yubu Island, which we reached by water buffalo cart, felt like no time at all during our one-hour stay. Of course, riding the water buffalo cart was fun, and I also took pictures with the water buffalo named Rui-kun and enjoyed gelato at a tea shop, experiencing the unique offerings of Yubu Island! The entire island is like a botanical garden, and just walking around was enjoyable!

The tour guides were also entertaining, and I was able to enjoy the tour, including their stories during our travels. I would love to participate in other activities as well!

2月に訪れました！この日は曇り空に強風で、川が波立っていました。この時期は雨が多く風が強い日が多いようです。

マングローブカヌーは、風に煽られて漕ぐのが大変でしたが、それもまたジャングルの自然の体験として楽しかったです！マングローブの木を間近で見ることができました！成長が遅く、樹齢100年以上のものばかりということに驚き、感動しました！

水牛車に乗って行った由布島観光は、1時間の滞在時間があっという間でした。
水牛車に乗ることはもちろん、水牛のルイ君と写真を撮ったり、お茶屋さんでジェラートを食べたりと、由布島ならではの体験ができました！島全体が植物園になっていて、歩いているだけでも楽しかったです！

ツアーガイドの皆さまもおもしろく、移動中のお話含め、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
また他のアクティビティにも参加したいです！

I booked a day tour that included a SUP tour in the mangroves and snorkeling in the Blue Cave. The guide was very knowledgeable about Ishigaki Island and the mangroves, and I learned a lot, which was enjoyable. The day before, I received a phone call explaining the details of the tour. I thought I understood the overview of the tour, but I had some misunderstandings, so it was good to confirm everything. Unfortunately, the snorkeling in the Blue Cave in the afternoon was canceled due to bad conditions, which was disappointing, but the mangrove tour in the morning was fulfilling enough to leave me very satisfied. Thank you!

マングローブでのSUPツアーと青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングがセットになった一日ツアーを申し込みました。
ガイドさんは石垣島やマングローブの知識が豊富でいろいろと教えて頂き楽しかったです。
前日にお電話でツアーに関する詳細の説明がありました。ツアーの概要は理解しているつもりでしたが、勘違いもあり確認いただいて良かったです。
午後からの青の洞窟はコンディションが悪いと言うことでキャンセルとなり残念でしたが、午前中のマングローブツアーだけでも十分満足出来るほど充実したツアーでした。
ありがとうございます。

The wind was strong, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but as an alternative, we went to Shigira Beach where we were able to see a lot of sea turtles! A curly-haired guy guided us, checking our condition each time and explaining about the marine life. He also took many photos for us, helping us create wonderful memories! Thank you very much!

風が強く、青の洞窟には行くことが出来ませんでしたが、代換え案で行かせていただいたシギラビーチはウミガメをたくさん見ることができました！髪がくるくるなお兄さんが指導してくださりましたが、都度体調確認や海の生物の説明をしてくださったり、写真もたくさん撮って下さり楽しい思い出作りが出来ました！ありがとうございました！

Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather, but the snorkeling at the "Phantom Island" we were taken to instead was amazing! I received a thoughtful confirmation call the day before, which allowed me to look forward to the day with excitement.

The boat rocked a bit and made me feel a little seasick, but the underwater scenery was filled with the beautiful blue fish and coral unique to Okinawa, which quickly made me forget my discomfort. I was worried about the cold winter sea water, but thanks to the kind support from our guide, I was able to enjoy the experience throughout.

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to see a sea turtle, but the burger place and the yakiniku restaurant I was told about during the return ride were exceptional. I definitely want to go see sea turtles next time.

Thank you for a wonderful day!

あいにくの天候で青の洞窟へは行けませんでしたが、代わりに案内された「幻の島」でのシュノーケルが最高でした！
前日に丁寧な確認連絡をいただけたので、期待を胸に当日を迎えられました。

少し船が揺れて酔ってしまいましたが、海の中には沖縄ならではの青い魚とサンゴが広がっていて、その美しさに酔いも一瞬で吹き飛びました。
冬の冷たい海水が心配でしたが、ガイドさんが優しくサポートしてくれたおかげで、終始楽しく体験できて良かったです。

ウミガメに会えなかったのは心残りですが、帰りの送迎で教えてもらったハンバーガー屋さんと焼肉屋さんが絶品でした。
次はぜひウミガメを見に行きたいです。

素敵な一日をありがとうございました！

I had a truly fulfilling time participating in this tour. It was my first experience paddling through the mangroves on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and I was deeply moved as I slowly glided over the calm water, observing rare plants and creatures that are not often seen up close. The guide's explanations were clear, and I appreciated learning about nature and the formation of Iriomote Island. The water buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island also provided a unique experience, and I was very satisfied with the many photos I was able to take. I believe this tour is perfect for beginners and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

今回こちらのツアーに参加して、本当に充実した時間を過ごすことができました。マングローブの中をSUP（カヌー）で進む体験は初めてでしたが、静かな水面をゆっくり進みながら、普段なかなか見ることのできない珍しい植物や生き物を間近で観察でき、とても感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、自然や西表島の成り立ちについて学べたのも良かったです。由布島の水牛車観光も非日常感があり、写真もたくさん撮れて大満足でした。初心者でも安心して参加できる内容で、心からおすすめできるツアーだと思います。

This tour is definitely satisfying for those visiting Iriomote Island for the first time! Our guide, Macchan, introduced us to many aspects of Iriomote Island, making it a wonderful memory. The mangrove canoeing was not only a chance to observe up close, but we also entered maze-like areas and took many photos, which was a lot of fun. Each water buffalo on Yubu Island had its own personality, and the guide's explanations were entertaining, keeping us engaged throughout. We were able to spend a graceful and meaningful time, and I definitely want to visit again!

初めて西表島に訪れる方は間違いなく満足できるツアーです！ガイドのまっちゃんさんが西表島について沢山紹介してくれたので、最高の思い出になりました。マングローブのカヌーは間近で観察できるだけでなく、迷路のような場所に入ったり、写真もたくさん撮っていただけてとても楽しかったです。由布島の水牛も一頭一頭に個性があり、ガイドさんの説明が面白く、終始楽しめました。優雅で有意義な時間を過ごすことができ、また絶対に訪れたいと思います！

It was my first time doing SUP in the mangroves, but since it was on a calm river, I felt safe doing it. The instructor was kind, which made it enjoyable.

初めてのマングローブでのSUPでしたが穏やかな川でのSUPでしたので安心してできました。
インストラクターも優しいので楽しくできました。

It was our first time snorkeling for both of us, but the time flew by and it turned out to be a fulfilling day! Our guide, Hina, provided us with detailed information about marine life, and we even got to see a sea snake! I would like to use this service again when I come back to Ishigaki Island next time!

2人も初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎ充実した日になりました！
担当してくださったひなさんは海の生物について詳しく教えてくださり、ウミヘビも見ることができました！
次回石垣島に来た際も利用したいと思います！

It was a winter snorkeling experience, but since I was wearing a wetsuit, I hardly felt the cold and was able to enjoy it comfortably. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather conditions, but our guide, Sugimori, explained the situation thoroughly each time and I felt that safety was given ample consideration. He made sure to check on each participant as we progressed, which allowed me to feel secure during the experience.

冬のシュノーケリング体験でしたが、ウエットスーツを着用していたため寒さはほとんど感じず、快適に楽しむことができました。天候の影響で青の洞窟には行くことができず残念でしたが、その都度ガイドの杉森さんが状況を丁寧に説明してくださり、安全面にも十分配慮されていると感じました。参加者一人ひとりの様子を確認しながら進めてくださったため、安心して体験することができました。

I was full of anxiety on my first trip to Okinawa, but thank you for the kind and detailed guidance and explanations. The beautiful sea and the freely swimming fish made for an amazing experience. Thanks to you, I have wonderful memories. I will come back to Okinawa again!

初めて沖縄旅行で不安がいっぱいだけど、
優しく丁寧なご案内、ご説明ありがとうございます。綺麗な海、自由自在な魚たち最高な体験でした。
おかけ様でいい思い出なりました。
沖縄、また来ます！

In the morning, I went to Yufu Island, and in the afternoon, I went canoeing on the Urauchi River. I participated alone, but everyone else was very kind, and they helped me a lot during the canoeing. I got stuck in shallow water and had trouble moving forward because of the strong wind, so it was quite chaotic. However, our guide, Macchan (Matsushita-san), supported me the whole time, and in the end, he got into my canoe, and we paddled together to safely return. There were various participants, including solo travelers, families, couples, and foreigners, and a sense of teamwork developed, making it a lot of fun.

午前中に由布島へ行き、午後から浦内川でカヌーでした。ひとり参加でしたが、他の参加者のみなさんがとても優しく、カヌー中はみなさんにたくさん助けていただきました。浅瀬で座礁したり、風が強くて前に進めなくなったりとだいぶグダグダでしたが、ガイドのまっちゃん(松下さん)がずっとフォローしてくださり、最終的には私のカヌーに乗り込んで2人で漕いで無事に帰ることができました。
1人参加、親子、夫婦、外国の方など様々いましたが、チームワークみたいなものが生まれて楽しかったです。

If you're going to Iriomote Island, you can't miss the mangroves, so I joined this one-day tour with the intention of kayaking. I was excited even before participating, and it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying experience, just as I had hoped! 🌟

It was my first time kayaking, but our guide, Macchan, was absolutely amazing!

His explanations were very clear, and he was friendly and attentive throughout. I felt safe and enjoyed myself. ☺️

The time spent navigating through the mangrove tunnel was calm and pleasant, and the scenery was truly beautiful.

On the other hand, it was a windy day, and I used a bit of energy while paddling through the tributaries. (Some women might find it challenging on their own.)

During the bus ride, he talked a lot about the island's nature and lifestyle, making what could have been just travel time into a learning experience, which was impressive! I was unexpectedly moved when I saw him doing a handstand on the SUP. Haha!

In the afternoon, we took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island while listening to the sanshin performance, moving leisurely. 🐃 The island was quiet with few people, making it a perfect tour for my first visit to Iriomote Island!

西表島に行くならマングローブは外せないと思い、カヌー目当てでこの1日ツアーに参加しました。参加前からワクワクしていて、「自然すごそう！」という期待通り、想像以上に満足度の高い体験でした🌟

カヌーは初めてでしたが、担当ガイドのまっちゃんさんがとにかく素晴らしかったです！

説明がとてもわかりやすく、終始フレンドリーで丁寧。安心して楽しめました☺️

マングローブのトンネルを進む時間は穏やかで心地よく、景色も本当にきれいでした。

一方、この日は風が強く、支流を漕ぐ場面では少し体力を使いました。
（女性だけだと大変に感じる人もいるかもしれません）

移動中のバスでも島の自然や暮らしについてたくさん話してくれて、ただの移動時間が学びの時間になったのも印象的でした！
SUPの上で逆立ちしていたのには思わず感動しました笑

午後の由布島水牛車では、三線の演奏を聴きながらゆったり移動🐃
島内も人が少なく落ち着いて過ごせて、初めての西表島にぴったりのツアーでしたー！

The week we visited, the weather was bad, but during the time we went, we were able to see some sunshine, and we even encountered a sea turtle, which is quite rare. We made wonderful memories as a family, thank you very much.

訪問した週は、天候が悪かったのですが、私達がいった時間だけは晴れ間も見え、
なかなかみれないというウミガメにも出会えました。家族で最高の思い出ができ、ありがとうございました。

I participated in the SUP + snorkeling experience tour. I learned SUP from Hiro, who speaks in a lively Kansai dialect. He kindly taught me how to paddle and gave me tips, so once I got the hang of it, I was able to paddle freely and had a lot of fun!

We were blessed with great weather, and they took many photos, which made me very satisfied!

For snorkeling, I was taught by Hana. Since it was my first time swimming in the ocean, I was a bit anxious, but she led me with a float and took care of my well-being, allowing me to swim with peace of mind.

I was amazed by the clarity of the water during my first snorkeling experience! There were so many colorful fish, and I even got to see a sea turtle and take photos with it. It became a wonderful memory!

SUP+シュノーケリング体験ツアーに参加しました。
SUPはノリのいい関西弁のひろさんに教えていただきました。親切に漕ぎ方やコツを教えてくれたので慣れてくると自由に漕いだりして楽しく体験できました！
天気にも恵まれたくさん写真も撮ってくれて大満足です♫

シュノーケリングははなちゃんに教えていただきました。海で泳ぐのは初めてだったので少し不安もありましたが、うきわでリードしてくれたり体調を気にかけてくれて安心して泳ぐことができました。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験で、海の透明度にびっくりしました！色鮮やかな魚がいっぱいいて、ウミガメも見ることができ、一緒に写真を撮っていただきました。
いい思い出になりました！

This time, I participated in a tour for SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) and sea turtle snorkeling! The tour guide, Hiro, explained everything in a very friendly and easy-to-understand manner, so I was able to get on the board right away, even as a beginner! He also took a lot of photos for us, and we were blessed with great weather, which made it very enjoyable✨

During the snorkeling, I was able to see many beautiful fish, corals, and sea turtles in the stunning ocean🐢. I got to see them up close and even took pictures together! Since it was the end of January, the temperature was a bit low and it was a little chilly, but the tour was very fulfilling as we learned a lot about the ocean around Miyako Island.

Thank you to our tour guides, Hana and Tecchan😌!

今回はSUP or カヌーと、ウミガメシュノーケリングのツアーに参加させていただきました！
SUPはツアーガイドのヒロさんがとてもわかりやすくフレンドリーに教えたくださり、初めてでもすぐに乗ることができました！写真も沢山撮ってくださり、お天気にも恵まれとても気持ちよかったです✨
シュノーケリングは、とっても綺麗な海で沢山の魚やサンゴ、そしてウミガメを見ることができました🐢とっても間近で見ることができて、写真も一緒に撮ることができました！1月末の為気温も低く、少し寒かったですが、宮古島の海の知識を教えてくださったりとても充実したツアーでした。
ツアーガイドのはなちゃん、てっちゃんさんありがとうございます😌

I participated with my daughter!!
It was my first time in Miyako Island and my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but thanks to Hiro, who spoke in Kansai dialect and taught us patiently while keeping the atmosphere lively, I was able to enjoy it without falling in until the end! 🌟
The blue sky started to appear halfway through, and the sea looked so beautiful, creating wonderful memories! Thank you very much! 🌷

Snorkeling 🤿
I had a snorkeling experience during my school trip to Okinawa when I was a student, but I remember being disappointed because I couldn't breathe properly through my mouth and missed seeing the clear sea and colorful fish. However, thanks to Hana-chan, who taught us with a lovely smile, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle, and I was able to turn that memory into a really great one! 🐢✨
Thank you very much! 🎀

sup🏄
母娘で参加しました！！
初めての宮古島、初めてのsup体験でしたが、関西弁のひろさんが丁寧に教えてくれてたくさん盛り上げてくれたおかげで、最後まで落ちずに楽しめることができました！🌟
途中から青空が見えてきて、海もとっても綺麗に見えて素敵な思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました🌷


シュノーケル🤿
学生の頃に修学旅行で沖縄に来た時もシュノーケル体験をしましたが、そのときは口呼吸がうまくできず透き通った海やカラフルな魚たちを見れずに残念だった記憶を、はなちゃんが素敵な笑顔で丁寧に教えてくれて、運良くウミガメも見ることができ、とってもいい思い出に塗り替えることができました！🐢✨
ありがとうございました🎀

Due to bad weather, snorkeling was canceled and we switched to mangrove kayaking. It was really cold with strong winds and rain, but the instructor was cheerful and reliable, which made it easy to participate without any worries. For lunch, they kindly offered to drive us to a local diner on the island when we expressed our preferences, which was great. Although we couldn't do the waterfall descent during canyoning, we were able to experience jumping into the water at various spots, which made the kids very happy. They also took safety precautions seriously, which was reassuring. The only downside was that the photos were sent late, and we had to follow up for them, but overall, it was a memorable experience.

悪天候でシュノーケルは中止となり、マングローブカヤックに変更。強風と雨で本当に寒かったですが、インストラクターさんが明るく頼り甲斐があり、不安なく参加できました。昼食は希望を伝えると島の定食屋さんまで車で送迎してくれる心遣いも◎。キャニオニングは滝降りこそできなかったものの、各所で滝つぼドボンを体験できて子供も大喜び。安全配慮もしっかりしていて安心でした。写真送付が遅く、催促後の対応だった点だけ少し残念ですが、全体的には思い出に残る体験でした。

We participated as a couple and had a great time. Although the snorkeling location was changed due to the wind, we were amazed to see a vast coral reef just a short swim away, with corals visible very close to the surface. It was a delightful experience to have fish swimming right beside us.

I had a bit of a scary image of diving, but I felt very relaxed while snorkeling and was able to enjoy the breathtaking views all around me.

In the canoe, we explored the mangroves, which had the atmosphere of "The Ishigaki Island." Since we had done snorkeling in the morning, I was a bit concerned about my stamina, but the waves were calm, and I was able to enjoy it refreshingly without getting too tired.

I definitely want to come back to Ishigaki Island and rely on your services again. Thank you very much!

夫婦で参加しましたが、とても楽しめました。風の影響でシュノーケリングの場所は変更になったものの、少し泳ぐとサンゴ礁が一面に広がっており、海面からとても近い場所にサンゴが見えることに感動しました。また、すぐ近くを魚たちが泳いでいて、とても楽しい体験でした。

ダイビングには少し怖いイメージがありましたが、シュノーケリングではとてもリラックスして、360度に広がる絶景を楽しむことができました。

カヌーでは、「ザ・石垣島」といった雰囲気のマングローブの中を探検。午前中にシュノーケリングをしていたため体力面に少し不安もありましたが、波も穏やかで、ほとんど疲れることなく爽快に楽しめました。

ぜひまた石垣島を訪れた際には、こちらでお世話になりたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I had a special experience! It was a beautiful cave that really made me think, "This is Ishigaki Island!" The guide was kind and prioritized safety during the tour! If I have the chance again, I would like to try another tour with them!

特別な体験ができました！さすが石垣島だなと思えた綺麗な洞窟でした！ガイドの方も優しく安全第一でツアーをしてくださいました！また機会があればほなかのツアーもしてみたいです！

Two years ago, I had a snorkeling experience with a different company, but this time was much better!
【Banana Boat + Snorkeling Experience】
【Positive Points】 Instead of traveling by boat, we enjoyed the ride on a banana boat while heading to nearby spots, which prevented seasickness and made it enjoyable. When my daughter requested a more intense ride on the banana boat, they accommodated her, and the whole family praised how much fun it was.

2年前、別の運営会社のシュノーケル体験を行いましたが今回の方がずっと良かったです！
【バナナボート＋シュノーケル体験】
【良かった点】船での移動ではなく、バナナボートで楽しみながら近場のポイント向かったので船酔いもせず楽しめました。バナナボートも、娘が激し目なのをリクエストすると対応してくれ、家族みんな、楽しかったと絶賛でした。

I was amazed to see sea turtles and a variety of tropical fish just a short distance from the beach (though I don't have any photos...). The area is relatively shallow, so the fish are quite close, making it feel like you're swimming in a large aquarium. It's a tour that you can easily enjoy right by the beach without having to venture out into the open ocean.

However, there weren't any photos of the many beautiful fish in the data I received, so I wish they had taken pictures of other fish besides just the sea turtles and clownfish. That way, I could have shared the beauty of this beach with my friends.

The canoeing in the afternoon was perfect for leisurely enjoying the sparkling water and the beautiful Miyako Blue. If you want to enjoy the scenery, I personally recommend canoeing over stand-up paddleboarding, as it allows you to explore further.

ビーチから少し入っただけでウミガメなや多種多様な熱帯魚を見られるとは思っていなかったので感動の嵐でした(写真はありませんが...)。比較的浅瀬のエリアなので魚との距離も近く、まるで大きな水族館の中で泳いでいる気分。外洋まで出ずともビーチ際で手軽に楽しめるツアーです。
ただ、沢山の美しい魚の写真は送られてきたデータには一枚もなかったので、ウミガメとクマノミだけでなく、他の魚も撮っていただければ、こちらのビーチの美しさを友人たちにも伝えることができたなあと思います。
昼からのカヌーは、キラキラ輝く水面、宮古ブルーをのんびり楽しむには最適。景色を楽しみたい方は、サップよりぐるっと遠くまで探検できるカヌーが個人的にはおすすめです。

I went to Iriomote Island for the first time and booked a tour to Yubu Island by kayak and water buffalo. In the morning, I experienced kayaking and explored the mangrove forest for about an hour. I really felt the beauty of nature. The staff were very kind and explained everything well, making it a lot of fun! After that, we took a lunch break and then headed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart! It took about 10 minutes to reach the island, and we enjoyed about an hour on Yubu Island! The gelato from a shop called Yubu Island Chaya was incredibly delicious! I highly recommend the island banana flavor.

初めて西表島に行き、カヤックと水牛で由布島に行くツアーを予約しました。
午前中にカヤック体験をして、マングローブ林を約1時間探索しました。大自然をとても感じられました。スタッフさんも優しく説明してくださり、大変楽しめました！その後、お昼休憩を挟み、水牛車で由布島にレッツゴー！10分ほどで島につき、そこから由布島を1時間ほど楽しみました！由布島茶屋というジェラート屋さんのジェラートがとっても美味しかったです！島バナナが1番のおすすめです。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time. The kayaking experience surrounded by the magnificent mangrove nature was unforgettable, and the air was so fresh. The companions I experienced it with and the instructor were very warm, and it was truly enjoyable!!! After kayaking, I had goya champuru at Gen Shokudo. It was very soothing for my tired body. The water buffaloes were so cute and provided a relaxing time. It's only about a 50-minute trip from Ishigaki Island, so I highly recommend it!

初めて西表島に来ました。
マングローブの大自然に囲まれたカヤック体験は空気も美味しく忘れられない体験になりました。一緒に体験をした仲間もインストラクターさんもとても温かく本当に楽しかったです！！！カヤックの後は源食堂でゴーヤチャンプルーをいただきました。疲れた体にとても沁みました。水牛はとてもかわいく癒されゆったりした時間過ごせました。石垣島から50分ほどで行けるのでぜひお勧めしたいです！

I participated on January 18th! It was a bit cold in short sleeves, so having something to wear over it would be good! When kayaking, your lower body gets wet up to your underwear, so a change of clothes is essential 😅 After the kayaking experience, you can use a warm shower! I joined a group with other tourists, and it was really fun to chat with everyone! The staff were also kind and provided explanations about the island, which was great! I definitely want to recommend this!

1月18日に参加しました！
半袖だと少し寒かったので、羽織るものがあると良いです！
カヤックは下半身は下着まで濡れるので着替え必須です😅
カヤック体験後にあたたかいシャワーを使わせてもらえます！
他の観光客の方とグループになって行動しましたが、いろいろなお話もできてとても楽しかったです！
スタッフの方も親切に島の解説もしてくださりよかったです！
ぜひおすすめしたいです！
