All Reviews for Canoe & Kayak

I had always wanted to visit Gajumaru, so I was really happy to finally go. The guide's stories were interesting, and I had a lot of fun! You definitely won't regret going! I want to visit again!

ガジュマルには一度行ってみたかったので行けたのがすごか嬉しかったのと
ガイドさんの話も面白くてとても楽しかったです！
行って損は絶対にありません！
また行きたいと思ってます！

The first thing that caught my eye was the strong mangrove forest with its deeply rooted trees. The countless roots stretching out from the mud looked like living sculptures, and I felt the resilience of nature. As I paddled along the water's surface, branches and leaves spread out on both sides, making it feel like I was rowing through a green tunnel. The breeze was gentle, and every time I looked up at the sky, the bright blue and white clouds were stunning.

The guide was really kind, and their explanations were clear and interesting! They talked about the nature and wildlife of Iriomote Island in a fun way, providing not just beautiful scenery but also plenty of learning opportunities. I felt a sense of security, which allowed me to relax and enjoy canoeing even as a first-timer.

As I glided over the calm water, I was enveloped in a feeling of "time flowing slowly," something I can't experience in my daily life, and I felt truly refreshed. Being healed by the energy of nature and encountering views that can only be seen here was a truly special experience.

The great nature of Iriomote Island was amazing! I want to go again! ^_^

最初に目に飛び込んできたのは、力強く根を張ったマングローブの森。泥の中から無数に伸びる根っこはまるで生きている彫刻みたいで、自然のたくましさを感じました。水面を進んでいくと、両脇から覆いかぶさるように枝葉が広がって、まるで緑のトンネルの中を漕いでいるみたい。風も穏やかで、時々空を見上げると真っ青な空と白い雲が映えて最高でした。

ガイドさんも本当に親切で、説明が分かりやすくておもしろい！西表島の自然や生き物のことを楽しく話してくれて、景色だけじゃなく学びもいっぱいありました。安心感もあって、初めてでもリラックスしてカヌーを楽しめました。

静かな水面をすべるように進んでいくと、普段の生活では味わえない“時間がゆっくり流れる感覚”に包まれて、心からリフレッシュできました。自然のエネルギーに癒されながら、ここでしか見られない景色に出会えたのは本当に特別な体験。

西表島の大自然、最高でした！また行きたいです^_^‎

I participated in a SUP and snorkeling session that ended in the morning at the beginning of September, when the weather can be quite changeable. The weather was nice, and during low tide, the sea sparkled, making the coral visible up close. I struggled to keep up with the SUP until I got the hang of it, but since it was early in the morning, there were few people around, and I was able to jump into the sea and enjoy a refreshing time.

I had a hard time finding a turtle while snorkeling and thought I might not see one, but I kept swimming. Thanks to the instructor who didn’t give up searching, I was finally able to meet a turtle leisurely eating at the end.

Since I had arranged for transportation, getting around was easy, and I got to hear interesting stories about island life and was recommended some delicious places to eat. I had some anxiety about being back in the sea after a long time, but from start to finish, Ricky's smile encouraged me, and my family was able to have a great time!

天候が変わりやすい9月頭に午前中で終わるSUPとシュノーケリングに参加しました。天気もよく、干潮で海がキラキラと珊瑚が近い距離に見えました。SUPは慣れるまでついてくのに必死だったけど、朝イチだったので人も少なく、海に飛び込んだり気持ちのいい時間を過ごせました。シュノーケリングはなかなか亀さんが見つからず、見れないかなーと思ってましたが、ひたすら泳ぐ泳ぐ。お姉さんが諦めずに探してくれたおかげで最後にのんびり食事中の亀さんに会うことができました。
今回は送迎をお願いしてたので移動も楽に、車内では島の暮らしや、いろんな面白い話を聞かせてもらったり、美味しいお店も教えてもらえました。久しぶりの海に不安があったけど、最初から最後まで担当のリッキーの笑顔に励まされ家族で楽しむことができました！

In the morning, I went snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I did mangrove kayaking. The snorkeling was guided kindly by Yume, and I was very satisfied to land on Barasu Island! She was a very beautiful guide! In the afternoon, we went mangrove kayaking! I learned a lot about the nature of Iriomote Island and was able to see the mangroves up close! It was amazing!

午前中はシュノーケル、午後はマングローブカヤックをしました。シュノーケルはユメさんに優しくガイドいただきバラス島にも上陸でき大満足でした！とっても美人なガイドさんでした！
午後はマングローブカヤックでした！西表島の自然のことをたくさん教えていただき、マングローブを間近で見ることができました!最高でした！

The Pumpkin Cave is a sacred place, and I felt that the tour was conducted with great care, which was very good! The final jump was thrilling and fun.

During the snorkeling tour, it was my first time, but it was very enjoyable, and the energetic guide from Osaka provided interesting explanations! I was able to see a sea turtle, creating the best memories!

パンプキン鍾乳洞は、神聖な場所の為、しっかりと配慮しながらツアーを行っていて、とても良いと感じました！最後の飛び込みは、スリルがあって楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングツアーでは、初めてでしたが、とても楽しく、ガイドの元気な大阪のお兄さんが面白く解説してくれました！ウミガメにも会うことが出来、最高の思い出が出来ました！

Thanks to the polite guidance of the staff, I was able to enjoy both canoeing and snorkeling for a whole day, even as a beginner! I highly recommend it!

ガイドな方々の丁寧な案内で、カヌー・シュノーケリング共に初心者でしたが1日楽しめました！おすすめです！

It was my first experience, and I was really impressed by how clear the sea was while paddling the canoe. Moreover, I was delighted to receive an unexpected gift as they took our pictures from various angles with a drone.

初めての経験ながら透明度抜群の海でカヌーを操られてすごく感激しました。
そればかりかドローンで私たちの姿をあらゆる角度から撮っていただき、思わぬ贈り物を頂いたようで嬉しかったです。

The tour was smooth and had free time, which made me very satisfied. The guide was kind, and the children got along well with him. The drone experience was awesome!

ツアーもスムーズで自由時間もあり満足できました。
ガイドのお兄さんも優しくて子どもたちも仲良くなってました。
ドローンもサイコーでした！

We were able to go deep into the mangroves, which you can't experience with a canoe. The staff were very kind and it was a lot of fun.

カヌーでは体験できないようなマングローブの奥まで行くことができました。。親切に対応してくださってとても楽しかったです。

I had a very enjoyable time!!
Beautiful sea!! Stunning caves!! Adorable sea turtles!!
And the lively and entertaining guide!
It was a wonderful experience with no complaints! Those considering it will definitely be satisfied!!
Please join us!!!!

とても楽しい時間を過ごせました!!
綺麗な海!!美しい鍾乳洞!!かわいいウミガメ!!
そして盛り上げ上手なワカチコなお兄さん!!
文句のつけようがない素晴らしい体験でした!検討中の皆様も満足すること間違いなし!!
ぜひご参加ください!!!!

On my first trip to Miyako Island, I signed up for a tour to experience marine sports all at once.

We started with sea kayaking and then explored a limestone cave, and I was completely overwhelmed by the mystical beauty of Pumpkin! Jumping from Pumpkin was also thrilling and a lot of fun!

We had about a two-hour lunch break, so I took a short nap before joining the snorkeling activity. The guide, with his refreshing smile, made it enjoyable, and I learned about the corals and fish of Miyako Island. The water was incredibly clear, and I was so excited to see sea turtles up close!

I was moved by how close I could get to the corals and many different types of fish. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. Thank you!

初めての宮古島旅行で、マリンスポーツを一気に体験したくてツアーに申し込みをしました。
初めはシーカヤックからの鍾乳洞で、パンプキンは神秘的で凄く圧倒されました！パンプキンからのジャンプも刺激的で凄く面白かったです!
昼休憩が２時間くらいあったので、少し仮眠をしてからシュノーケリングに参加しました。
爽やかな笑顔のお兄さんのガイドも楽しくて、宮古島の珊瑚や魚について学べました。また、海の透明度も凄くてウミガメを間近で見れて大興奮でした！
珊瑚やたくさんの種類の魚を間近で見れて感動しました。
このツアーに参加できて本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました!

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. Both were taught with great care, and they explained a lot about Ishigaki Island during the experience, which was really fun! They also shared many recommendations for delicious restaurants and must-visit places that are unique to the area.

If I come back to Ishigaki Island, I definitely want to experience this again.

サップとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
どちらも丁寧に教えてくださって、体験中もたくさん石垣島のことを説明してくれてすごく楽しかったです！
体験以外にも、美味しいお店とか行った方がいい場所とか、地元ならではのこともたくさんおしえてくれました。

また石垣島に来たら、ぜひここで体験したいです。

We experienced the pumpkin cave and snorkeling course with our family of four, including high school and university students. Thank you to Kana, a cheerful and energetic young man from Osaka who resembles Shuhei Nomura. We are grateful for your kind and attentive service, which helped us create wonderful family memories. It was our first time in Miyako Island, and we were amazed by the beautifully clear blue sea and sky, the mystical caves, and the sight of Nemo and adorable sea turtles swimming right in front of us. Thank you for all the great photos as well.

パンプキン鍾乳洞とシュノーケルのコースを高校生、大学生の子どもと家族4人で体験しました。野村周平似の大阪の元気な明るいお兄さんのカナさん、ありがとうございました。親切、丁寧な対応で家族の楽しい思い出を作ることができ感謝です。初めての宮古島で見事なほどの青く澄み切った海と空、神秘的な鍾乳洞、ニモや可愛らしい青ウミガメの泳ぐ姿も目の前で見ることができ最高でした。たくさんの写真もありがとうございました。

I was taken care of by the kind and handsome Tetsu-chan!

Along the way, he provided detailed explanations about history and nature, which were fascinating, and his love for Miyako Island really came through. 🌺

The limestone cave had more depth than I imagined and was truly impressive. 🎃 The final jump was nerve-wracking but fun!

When I come back to Miyako Island, I will definitely participate again! Thank you very much! 🌟

優しくてイケメンのてっちゃんさんに担当していただきました！

道中、歴史や自然についての説明を丁寧にしてくださって興味深かったし、宮古島への愛が伝わってきました🌺

鍾乳洞は想像したより奥行きがあって大迫力でした🎃
最後の飛び込みも緊張しましたが楽しかったです！！

また宮古島に来たときには、絶対参加します！ありがとうございました🌟

I appreciated the notification about the change of location due to strong winds a day in advance. It was also enjoyable that the school for small children provided gentle support.

強風のためスポットが変更になることを、前日にご連絡いただき、ありがたかったです。
小さい子ども学校も優しくフォローいただき楽しかったです。

In the early morning, during the time when the heat has yet to ease, I arrived at the location. I learned how to use the oars and initially thought, "I will paddle on my own without relying on my partner," and got into the kayak with determination. However, that enthusiasm turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

Just lightly dipping the oars into the water allowed the kayak to glide remarkably smoothly. When I stopped paddling, it felt as if time had stopped, and I could simply float on the river's surface. The instructor kindly taught us, saying, "The kingfisher is calling," and "The mangrove is a type of tree called 'Mehirugi'," paying attention to each participant, which made it easy to enjoy the experience.

The river's flow was so gentle that I hardly noticed it, and when I looked up, I saw the bright blue sky and pure white clouds typical of Okinawa. I heard that families participated, and even a 93-year-old had joined, making me feel that this tour was enjoyable even for someone in their 70s like me.

This tour created many memories. It was a wonderful experience that allowed me to rediscover the charm of Okinawa, and I now want to challenge myself to kayak on another river next time.

「早朝、まだ暑さが和らぐ時間帯に現地へ。オールを教わり、最初は『パートナーに頼らず、自分の力で漕ぎ切ろう』と気合を入れてカヤックに乗り込みました。しかし、その意気込みは嬉しい誤算でした。
オールを軽く水に入れるだけで、カヤックは驚くほど滑らかに進みます。漕ぐのをやめると、まるで時間が止まったかのように川面にただようことができました。インストラクターの方が『カワセミが鳴いています』『マングローブはメヒルギという木です』と丁寧に教えてくださり、参加者一人ひとりに気を配ってくれたので、安心して楽しめました。
川の流れは気づかないほど穏やかで、上を見上げると、沖縄らしい真っ青な空と真っ白な雲が広がっていました。ご家族連れはもちろん、最高齢93歳の方も参加されたことがあると聞き、70代の私でも心から楽しめるツアーだと感じました。
たくさんの思い出ができたこのツアー。沖縄の魅力を再発見し、今度は別の川でもカヤックに挑戦したいと思える素晴らしい体験でした。」

I was able to go to Barasu Island, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I was deeply moved! Initially, the plan was to land by boat, but I received a call the day before saying that due to the tides, we couldn't land by boat and had to choose between snorkeling to get there or giving up on Barasu Island and going to Yufu Island instead (there was originally a note about the possibility of changing the tour).

Since I have children and had never been to a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, I was anxious about snorkeling, but our guide, Toshi, kindly explained everything over the phone, which I really appreciated. In the end, I was glad I chose snorkeling. I got to see a lot of fish in the beautiful sea, and I was able to go to Barasu Island as well.

The mangrove canoeing was also fun, as we could all ride together as a family of five, and it felt like an adventure. I would like to join Toshi's tour again next time!

ずっと行きたかったバラス島に行くことができ、感動しました！
当初は船で上陸するプランでしたが、前日に電話があり潮の関係で船では上陸できず途中からシュノーケリングで向かうか、バラス島は諦めて由布島に行くか選んでくださいとのことでした（ツアー変更の可能性については元々記載がありました）
子供もおり、足がつかない所に行ったことがなかった為シュノーケリングに不安がありましたがガイドのトッシーが電話で丁寧に説明してくださりありがたかったです。結果、シュノーケリングを選んで良かったです。綺麗な海で魚をたくさん見られたし、バラス島にも行くことができました。
マングローブカヌーも、夫婦と子供３人乗りができ、冒険のようで楽しかったです。
次また行く際にもトッシーのツアーで参加したいと思います！

I previously went snorkeling in Onna Village and didn't enjoy it much, but this time there were plenty of fish, and I was able to snorkel freely and have fun! There were so many fish that I felt a bit of ocean phobia, but I think I overcame it! For those who are unsure about swimming, you can hold onto the float that the guide has, so I think you'll be able to enjoy it! You can also take a lot of photos while doing SUP, so I believe you'll be satisfied! With the free time, you can go quite far and relax, so I highly recommend it!

以前恩納村でシュノーケリングしてあまりハマらなかったのですが、今回は魚がいっぱいいて比較的自由に楽しくシュノーケリングさせて頂きました！魚がたくさんいて楽しかったので若干海洋恐怖症でしたが克服できた気がします！泳ぎが不安な方はガイドの方が持ってる浮き輪に掴まって泳げるので楽しめると思います！SUPも写真をたくさん撮って貰えるので満足できると思います！自由な時間で結構遠くまで行けたりのんびりできるのでオススメです！

SUP with Ricky from 8:30 AM:
Even as a beginner, I was taught kindly.

Snorkeling with Naoki from 10:30 AM:
We went to see sea turtles and clownfish. Even if you're not a strong swimmer, you can enjoy it while receiving guidance from the instructor. I was almost out of energy here... haha.

Pumpkin Cave with Naoki from 3:00 PM:
It was a tour full of adventure, allowing us to experience the extraordinary as we kayaked to the cave.

Thanks to Naoki's humorous explanations, we were able to enjoy the cave experience.

朝8:30からSUP with りっきー:
初心者でも優しく教えていただけました。

10:30からシュノーケル with なおき:
ウミガメとクマノミに会いに行きました。あまり泳ぐのが得意ではなくてもガイドさんの説明を受けながら、楽しむことができます。
ここでほぼ体力がなくなり、、、笑

15:00からパンプキン鍾乳洞　with なおき
カヤックで洞窟に向かう非日常を味あえるアドベンチャー感たっぷりのツアーでした。

ユーモアのある、なおきさんの説明のおかげで楽しみながら洞窟体験できます。

I participated in a morning mangrove canoe activity. We were transported by bus from the port to the mangroves, and the explanations were thorough and easy to understand, allowing us to fully enjoy the activity! There were multiple groups participating, but three instructors were present, ensuring we had plenty of fun. Instructor Rui taught us a lot about canoeing, the mangroves, and Iriomote Island itself, making it easy for beginners to enjoy the natural beauty of Iriomote without feeling nervous. I would love to come back! Thank you very much!

午前中のみのマングローブカヌーアクティビティに参加しました。港からマングローブまではバスで送っていただき、説明も丁寧でわかりやすくアクティビティの時間を満喫できました！複数グループ参加者がいましたが3名のインストラクターさんがついてくださり、十分に楽しめます。インストラクターのるいさんがカヌーの漕ぎ方からマングローブ、西表島自体のことをたくさん教えてくださり初心者でも緊張することなく西表の自然を味わえるのでまた来たいと思いました！ありがとうございました！

On the day, there were a few clouds, which made it take some time to see the sunrise, but it rained a little, and we got to see a big rainbow, creating the perfect situation. The guide took many great photos, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it just right for the sunrise in Iriomote Island. I would love to request the same guide when I go again.

当日は雲が少しかかり、サンライズ観るまでに時間がかかりましたが、その分少し雨が降って大きな虹が観れて最高のシチュエーションとなりました。
ガイドの方もたくさんいい写真を撮ってくださり、雰囲気もゆったりとしていて、西表島のサンライズにピッタリでした。
次に行く時も同じガイドさんにお願いしたいくらいです。

It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt at ease participating in the tour thanks to the attentive service. The guide had extensive knowledge about the fish we could see in the ocean, allowing me to enjoy searching for them while swimming. The caves were also mystical and wonderful. The guide took plenty of photos and videos, so I was able to look back and enjoy them later. If I have the chance to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to participate!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧な対応で安心してツアーに参加できました。
海でみえる魚の知識も豊富で、自分で泳ぎながら探して楽しむことができました。
もちろん洞窟も神秘的でよかったです。
写真や動画もガイドさんが沢山撮ってくださるので、あとで見返して楽しむこともできました。
また石垣島に遊びに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです！

I was able to see views that I can't see in Tokyo, and luckily, we had a great catch while fishing, making it a very satisfying experience. My child is saying they want to go again, so I would like to take care of this again. Thank you very much.

東京では見ることが出来ない景色を見ることが出来て、運良く釣りでも豊漁で、大満足な体験でした。
また行きたいと子供が言ってますので、またお世話になりたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

It was my first experience with SAP, but thanks to the guide's lecture, I was able to get on right away!
I also had a chance to snorkel in the crystal-clear sea and see various fish up close, which was an extraordinary experience!
It took quite a bit of physical effort, but I had so much fun during the tour that I forgot all about my fatigue!

SAP初体験だったのですが、ガイドさんのレクチャーのおかげですぐに乗れるようになりました！
シュノーケリングも透き通った海を泳げたり、色々な魚を間近でみれたりと非日常を体験できました！
かなり体力は使ったのですが、ツアー中は疲れを忘れるほど楽しかったです！

We visited Miyako Island on a family trip. Thinking that there may not be many opportunities to travel with our children, I wanted to create some good memories, so I participated. Although we didn't see any turtles while snorkeling, I was amazed by the clarity of the water. Especially at the Pumpkin Cave, the energetic young man from Osaka taught us with great care, and his stories were entertaining.

My wife fell ill partway through, but if we have the chance, I would love to enjoy the Pumpkin Cave and kayaking again. It became a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our family, and the memories with the young men who provided and supported such opportunities will also remain special. Thank you very much.

家族旅行で訪れた宮古島。子どもと一緒に旅する機会はもうあまり無いだろうと思いつつ、何か良い思い出づくりをしたいと思い参加しました。シュノーケリングではカメに会えなかったものの、水の透明さに驚きました。特にパンプキン鍾乳洞、カヤックでは元気の良い大阪のお兄さんが丁寧に教えてくれて、話も面白くて良かったです。
妻が途中で体調を崩してしまいましたが、機会があればまたパンプキン鍾乳洞とカヤックを楽しみに行きたいと思います。
私たち家族にとっても一期一会の経験となり、そんな機会を提供しサポートしてくれたお兄さんたちとの一期一会も思い出に残るものとなりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a very fulfilling activity. I was able to see a sea turtle up close, which I had always wanted to do, and the photos of the sea turtle that Kyo-chan took are so beautiful that I'm showing them off to various people. 🥺 My younger child couldn't snorkel well, but they let them ride on a float at one point, so my younger child was able to participate until the end! Kyo-chan kept the energy up throughout, and it was truly a fun time! Thank you very much!

すごく充実しているアクティビティでした。
念願のウミガメも間近でみることができ、きょうちゃんが撮ってくれたウミガメの写真が綺麗すぎて、いろんな人に見せて自慢してます🥺
下の子がうまくシュノーケルができませんでしたが、途中で浮き輪？に乗せてくれたので下の子も最後まで参加することができました！
きょうちゃんが終始盛り上げてくださり、本当に楽しい時間でした！ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family! Our guide, Somatsu, taught us a lot about the history of Miyako Island and the Pumpkin Cave, and it was so much fun!! We even got to jump into the water from the cave, making it a very enjoyable tour!

If I have the chance to come back to Miyako Island, I would love to participate again!

家族で参加しました！
ガイド担当のそーまっするさんに、
宮古島やパンプキン鍾乳洞の歴史について
多くのことを教えてもらい、すごく楽しかったです！！
鍾乳洞から水の中にジャンプもできて、
とても楽しいツアーでした！

また宮古島にくる機会があれば参加したいです！

I participated in a tour that included sea turtle snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave. During the snorkeling, they pointed out spots where we could see sea turtles and fish, and I was able to see both! In Pumpkin Cave, they provided interesting facts along the way and guided us with care. I was guided by a very cheerful and energetic young man, which made the experience even better. Thank you very much. I hope to join again if I have the opportunity.

ウミガメシュノーケリング+パンプキン鍾乳洞がセットにやってるツアーに参加させて頂きました。シュノーケルでは、ウミガメや魚が見えるところを教えて下さり、両方見ることができました☺︎
パンプキン鍾乳洞でも、所々豆知識を挟んで丁寧に案内して下さりました。とても明るくて元気なお兄さんに案内して頂けて、とても良かったです。ありがとうございました。次もまた機会があれば参加できたらなと思います。

We participated in the Pumpkin Cave & Sea Turtle Snorkeling tour with our family of six. Although we were all beginners in sea kayaking and snorkeling, the guide was very attentive, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the tour.

It's rare for our family of six to take photos together, but we were able to capture wonderful pictures from underwater, creating lovely memories.

The coral reefs in Miyako Island are incredibly diverse, and if we had more time, we would have loved to explore them even longer.

If we have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, we would love to participate in this tour once more.

パンプキン鍾乳洞&ウミガメシュノーケリングのツアーに家族6人で参加させてもらいました。家族皆シーカヤックもシュノーケリングも初心者でしたが、ガイドのお兄さんが丁寧に対応してくれ、とても安心して参加でき、楽しいツアーでした。
家族6人での写真など滅多に撮れないけど、海中から素敵な写真を撮って頂き、ステキな思い出になりました。
宮古島の珊瑚礁はとっても種類が多く、もっともっと時間があればずーっとのぞいていたいほどでした。
また宮古島に訪れる機会があれば参加したいです。

A female instructor named Nira was in charge on the day of the activity. She provided thorough explanations about the activities, ensuring a safe and secure experience. She was very cheerful and shared various stories along the way to the cave, making the entire activity enjoyable!

にらさんという女性のインストラクターさんが当日担当してくれました。
アクティビティに関する説明を丁寧にしてくれるので、安全・安心で体験することができます。
とても明るい方で、鍾乳洞までの道すがら、様々なお話をしてくださり終始楽しくアクティビティを体験することができました！
