All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

It was a wonderful night tour!
We were able to see many creatures such as coconut crabs, Sakishima habu snakes, crabs, and hermit crabs.
We were blessed with good weather and were able to observe a sky full of stars in a nearby open park.
Lying on the grass while listening to the sound of the waves and watching the starry sky will be an unforgettable experience.
By the way, I heard there is a culture of eating coconut crabs, so I decided to try it the next night, and surprisingly, it was delicious!

素敵なナイトツアーでした！！
ヤシガニやサキシマハブ、カニ、オカヤドカリetcたくさんの生き物を観ることができました。
私たちは天候に恵まれ、近くの開けた公園で大きな空に満点の星空を観ることができました。
波の音を聴きながら芝生に横になって星空を観察した経験は忘れようのない出来事になると思います。
余談ですが、ヤシガニを食べる文化があると聞き次の日の夜には食べに行ってみました笑
思いの外、美味しいんですね笑

The staff were very kind, and the photos were wonderful. They provided detailed guidance on posing, and the explanations about the stars were easy to understand, allowing us to have a fantastic time. The starry sky and the Milky Way were breathtaking. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience! I would like to visit again for stargazing next time.

スタッフさんはとても親切で、写真はとても素敵でした。
ポージングも細かくお声掛けいただき、星の説明もわかりやすく、素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
満天の星空、天の川に感動です。
本当に素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました♪
次は天体観測でお伺いしたいです。

While heading towards the jungle, it was raining, and I was wondering what would happen, but I was able to see the Milky Way, the Summer Triangle, and many shooting stars, as well as a lot of coconut crabs. It was the best experience on my first day in Ishigaki Island. Additionally, I was given many recommendations for shops and tourist spots in Ishigaki Island while in the car, making it a very enjoyable time!

ジャングルに向かっている時は雨が降っていて、どうなることかと思いましたが、天の川と夏の大三角形、流れ星も見ることができ、ヤシガニもたくさん見られて、石垣島初日で最高の経験が出来ました。また、車内でも石垣島のおすすめのお店や観光スポットをたくさん教えていただき、とても楽しい時間でした！

I was very happy to see three coconut crabs! The stargazing was also blessed with good weather, and I was able to see the stars beautifully. I also learned some tips on how to take beautiful photos!

ヤシガニは3匹も見ることができてとても嬉しかったです！
星空鑑賞についてはお天気にも恵まれて綺麗にみれましたし、綺麗な写真の撮り方のコツも教えていただけました！

I went with low expectations since it was said that stargazing would be difficult at this time of year. However, while being directed by the photographer on how to pose, I was skeptical, but the footage I was shown was fantastic and enchanting. My daughter and I were thrilled that we signed up for the tour. The professional photography experience, which you can't get with a smartphone, was incredibly valuable. I fell even more in love with Miyako Island! Next year, I want to challenge myself with daytime photography!

時期的に星空は難しいと言われての参加でしたから、期待はせず向かいました。カメラマンの方にポーズを指示されながら、半信半疑でしたが見せてもらった映像は、幻想的で素晴らしく感動して、娘とツアーを申し込んで良かったねと喜んでいました。スマホでは経験出来ないプロの撮影は大変価値があるものでした。宮古島が更に大好きになりました！来年は、昼間の撮影に挑戦したいです！

It was a bright moonlit night, and unfortunately, the starry sky was not very visible, but I was able to see two long and very bright shooting stars. The children were excited as it was their first time seeing them. I was also moved, as it was my first time seeing such easily visible shooting stars. I'm glad I participated.

明るい月夜の日で星空はあまり見えず残念でしたが、なんと時間の長くとても明るい流星を二つも見ることができました。子供達は初めて見たと興奮してました。私もこんな流星は見やすい流星は初めてで感動しました。参加してよかったです。

The path was dark, so I was really worried if I was going the right way, but when I arrived, I saw a beautiful starry sky like I had never seen before! The staff were easy to talk to, and they took beautiful photos, making it a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

道中は暗い道を行くので本当にあっているか不安になりましたが、ついてみると見たこともないほどの綺麗な星空でした！
スタッフも話しやすく、綺麗な写真を撮っていただき最高の思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました！

At first, I thought seeing the stars from a boat and from land would be the same, but I personally chose the boat experience. Fortunately, there were no clouds at that time, and I was able to see constellations that are usually not visible, which made for a wonderful experience. The explanations about the constellations were great, and the shamisen performance was absolutely fantastic.

The staff were knowledgeable about the constellations and seemed to enjoy connecting with people, having studied and learned a lot about stars. Their explanations were clear, and it was evident that they truly love stars.

Everyone has their own perspective, but the stars were truly beautiful.

This time, we were lucky to see the stars, but even if we hadn't, I believe it would still have been a good experience. It made me realize that who you go with is more important than where you go.

I think the price is a bit high, but if the conditions are good, I believe it is definitely worth more than the cost.

最初は船で見るのと陸で見るの一緒だと思ってたのですが個人的な感覚で船にしました。
たまたまその時は雲も無く普段見えない星座が見えてとても良い体験でした。星座の説明も良くて三味線もめちゃくちゃ良かったです。

お店の人も星座について詳しくてどうやら繋ぐ事が好きで星について勉強して詳しくなった見たいです。説明も分かりやすく本当に星が好きな事が分かりました。

人それぞれの感覚にはなるけど本当に星が綺麗でした

今回はたまたま星が見えたけど見えなかったとしても良い関係だと思います。改めて思ったのは何処に行くかより誰と行くかが大事な事なのか思いました。

少し値段は高いと思いますが条件が良ければ値段以上の価値は絶対に有ると思いました。

The car's air conditioning was broken, and it was incredibly hot, making it feel like a sauna for about 30 minutes on the way to the location. I wish the air conditioning had been working.

車のエアコンが壊れているのか
とにかく暑く30分程サウナ状態で
体験場所に向かいました。
エアコンがきいてたら良かったかと思います。

I have always loved stars, and I heard that Miyako Island has one of the best night skies in Japan, so I decided to participate. The view is incredibly beautiful even to the naked eye, but in photographs, you can see even more stars, and it's truly stunning. I received photos that will be lifelong memories. Thank you very much!

元々星が好きで、宮古島は日本有数の星空が見れると聞き、参加しました。
肉眼でも非常に綺麗ですが、写真にすると、よりたくさんの星が写っていて本当に綺麗です。一生の思い出になる写真がいただけました。
ありがとうございました！

I felt a bit anxious in the dark sea, but the staff were very attentive and made me feel at ease while participating! The conversation was enjoyable, and I was glad to hear about the recommended spots in Miyako Island at the end! Thank you very much!

暗闇の海で不安もありましたが、スタッフさんがとても丁寧に対応して下さり安心しながら参加できました！お話も楽しかったですし、最後宮古島のオススメスポットも聞けて良かったです！ありがとうございました！

I had a photoshoot at Munusun Beach on Kurima Island.

The stars were clear, so I could see the Milky Way beautifully.

There were quite a few people aside from those taking photos, but I managed to get about ten shots in a place without anyone around.

The next day, I received the photos! They turned out very beautifully, and I am satisfied.

来間島のムヌスン浜で撮影して頂きました。

星は晴れていたので天の川も綺麗に見れました。

写真撮影以外の人も結構いましたが、人のいない所で10枚程度撮って頂きました。

翌日には写真を頂きました！
とても綺麗に撮れており満足です。

We participated in this as a celebration of our one-year anniversary! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience that we've never had before. ☺️
We hadn't decided on any poses for the photos, but with your detailed instructions and suggestions that suited us, it turned into the best time.
Even when there were a few clouds, we appreciated your thoughtfulness in waiting for the weather to clear so we could take great photos. I was a bit nervous at first, but all the staff were friendly and warm, which helped me relax during the shoot!
After the shoot, you shared many recommendations for spots on the island from a local's perspective, which was fantastic!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished photos. If there's another opportunity, I would love to work with you again!

今回は交際1年記念として参加させていただきました！本当に今までにない素敵な体験をありがとうございました☺️
写真を撮るポーズなど何も決めていなかったのですが、細かい丁寧な指示や私たちに合った提案をしていただき最高の時間となりました
雲が少しかかった際も、いい写真が撮れるように晴れるまで待ってくださり、心遣いもとても嬉しかったです。最初は少し緊張していたのですが、スタッフの方全員気さくであたたかな方でとてもリラックスして撮影できました！
撮影の後は、島でのおすすめスポットを島に住んでいるからこその視点でたくさん教えていただきました！
出来上がりの写真がとても楽しみです
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！

We participated with three children. Just seeing the beautiful starry sky, which you can't see in the city, is worth it. My wife's flip-flop strap broke, and she cut her foot on a rock, but since there were other guests waiting for their reservation, I think we were pressed for time, yet they kindly provided first aid, which was a great help. The photos were also wonderful. I definitely want to request this again next year.

3人の子供連れで参加いたしました。
街中では見られない綺麗な星空をみるだけでも充分価値があります。
妻のビーチサンダルの鼻緒が切れて岩で足を切ってしまったのですが、次の予約の方もいらっしゃったので、時間も押していたと思いますが、丁寧に応急処置をしていただき大変助かりました。
写真も素晴らしかったです。
是非、来年もお願いしたいと思っています。

This was my sixth trip to Okinawa, and I finally got to visit Yanbaru. Since tours can lose their charm in the rain, I had been hesitant to book one. On the day of the tour, it was partly sunny and cloudy, but thankfully it didn't rain.

The area around Kunigami Port Shokudo offers beautiful views of the ocean. Many people quickly finished their meals and took photos.

At Daichi Forest, there is quite a bit of walking, so women might want to avoid delicate sandals. Also, the tour content is somewhat subdued (more suitable for adults), so those with small children might enjoy places like the Churaumi Aquarium much more. The Yanbaru Kuina was just sitting in the corner and hardly moved.

沖縄6回目で、ついにやんばるに行けました。
雨だと魅力半減なツアーなので、なかなか申し込めませんでした。
当日は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが、雨は降らず助かりました。

国頭港食堂の周辺では海がとてもきれいに見えます。
食事を手早く済ませて、写真を撮っている方が多かったです。

大石林山はそこそこ歩くので、女性は華奢なサンダルは避けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと結構地味目（大人向け）なツアー内容なので、小さな子供連れの方は美ら海水族館などの方がずっと楽しめると思います。
ヤンバルクイナは隅っこでじっとしていてほぼ動きませんでした。

It was my first time seeing such a starry sky, and I was moved. I saw shooting stars several times. The explanations were very easy to understand and enjoyable, sparking my interest in the stars. Thank you very much. I definitely want to recommend this to everyone!

こんな満天の星空を観るのははじめてで、感動しました。流れ星も何度となく流れていました。
解説がとてもわかりやすく楽しく、星に興味が湧くお話でした。
ありがとうございました。
皆さんにも是非オススメしたいです！

This is my second time taking starry sky photos in Miyako Island, and this time I made a reservation here. I didn't think about poses or anything, but they gave me instructions, which was really helpful! When I saw the finished photos, the Milky Way was captured, and they turned out beautifully. I'm very satisfied. Thank you! I would like to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island! ♪

宮古島での星空写真は2回目なのですが、今回はこちらで予約しました。ポーズとか何も考えずにいたのですが、指示してくれたので助かりました！
できあがった写真を見たら、天の川も写っており素敵な写真になりました。とっても満足です。ありがとうございました！また宮古島に来た時はお願いしたいです♪

I had an amazing experience and took some unforgettable photos! The person who took the photos was very kind and suggested many poses, which was really helpful! The finished photos turned out great! Also, the location where we took the photos had the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen in my life! Honestly, I felt like I was in a planetarium! If I have the chance again, I would love to do this again! Thank you so much for everything!

とても最高な思い出に残る写真を撮っていただきました！
撮っていただいた方もとても優しく、ポーズも沢山提案していただき助かりました！
完成した写真もとても良かったです！
また、写真を撮っていただいた場所が今までの人生で一番綺麗な星空を見ることができました！
お世辞ではなく本当にプラネタリウムの中にいるかと思いました！
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！
この度は本当にありがとうございました！

I went kayaking for the first time, and the instructor, E, taught us in a way that was easy for beginners to understand, allowing us to have a wonderful time. I felt rejuvenated by the negative ions at Pinai Sara Falls. I was very lucky with the weather and timing for our landing on Balas Island. The contrast of the blue sea, blue sky, and Balas Island was stunning. Snorkeling was also a lot of fun, making it a very satisfying day. I was grateful to be able to join the tour even as a solo participant. I hope to have the opportunity again. Thank you very much.

初めてカヤックに乗りましたが、インストラクターのEさんが初心者にも分かるように教えてくださり、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。ピナイサーラの滝でマイナスイオンを浴び、生き返ったような気持ちになりました。バラス島への上陸も天候とタイミングに恵まれて、とてもラッキーでした。青い海と青い空とバラス島のコントラストが見事でした。シュノーケルもとても楽しく、大満足の１日でした。1人でもツアーに参加させていただけてありがたかったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いします。ありがとうございました。

It was a night tour, and I participated with two children who were scared even of a haunted house meant for toddlers. They were excited during the car ride with the explanation that we might see pythons or wild boars, but once we arrived, they became engrossed in searching for creatures while shining their flashlights around. We were able to find coconut crabs, crabs, hermit crabs, scorpion-like creatures, and lizards. During the tour, everyone turned off their lights to look at the starry sky, and I was amazed by how many stars were visible.

ナイトツアーなのに幼児向けのお化け屋敷すら怖がる子供２人を連れての参加でした。車移動の時からハブや猪が出るかもしれないという説明に子供はドキドキでしたが、現地に着いたら懐中電灯で周辺を照らしながら夢中になって生き物探しをしていました。
ヤシガニ、カニ、ヤドカリ、サソリもどき、トカゲ、色々見つけることができました。
ツアーの途中、全員ライトを消して星空を見るのですが、星の見える数が多すぎて驚きでした。

The guide provided detailed directions along the way and had a wealth of knowledge about the island's unique circumstances, making the experience enjoyable beyond just the activities. They also lent us waterproof bags and backpacks, so we didn't have to worry about getting dirty. The shop we stopped by on a small hill had horses and a secret base vibe, which was great! If you're in Iriomote, this is the place to start!

丁寧に道中の案内してくださり、島のマニアックな事情や知識が豊富でアクティビティ以外にも楽しめました。防水バッグやリュックも貸してくれたので汚れなども気にせずでよかったです。帰りに寄った小高い丘のショップに馬がいたり秘密基地感あってよかった！西表ならまずはここ！

The veteran staff skillfully brought together a diverse group of families, international guests, and solo travelers, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. It's about a 10-minute walk to the river, so it’s not a hassle at all. At first, it took quite a bit of courage to jump in, but I gradually got used to it, and by the time I was leaving, I felt a bit reluctant to go. It was my first time on Iriomote Island, and I appreciated the help with dinner arrangements. I had a really great time. Thank you very much, Yuma!

ファミリー、外国からのお客さん、ひとり旅の方とバラエティに富んだグループをベテランのスタッフの方が上手くまとめて和気あいあいとした雰囲気で楽しめました。川までは歩きますが10分ほどなので苦にはなりません。最初飛び込む時はかなり勇気がいりましたがだんだん慣れてきて帰る頃には名残惜しくなるくらいでした。初めての西表島だったのですが晩ごはんの心配もしていただき助かりました。本当に楽しかったです。ゆうまさんどうもありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful experience with various shots taken, creating beautiful memories!

The guidance to the shooting location and the parking instructions in the dark were thorough, allowing me to enjoy the shoot with peace of mind and relaxation.

At the end, I was also given recommendations for spots in Miyako Island, and I felt, "I'm glad I chose this plan."

様々なショットで撮影をしていただき、
素敵な思い出ができました！

撮影現場までの案内、
暗闇下での駐車場案内も丁寧で、
安心して、リラックスしながら撮影を楽しむことができました。

最後には宮古島のおすすめスポットについても教えていただき、「このプランにしてよかった」と思いました。

At Pinai Sara Falls, we rode canoes slowly up the mangrove river, and when we reached the base, there was a large group of canoes. Still, the guide efficiently docked the canoes, and off we went towards the falls. I was surprised by the number of people along the way, but just walking through the tropical jungle was exciting. As we heard the sound of rushing water, we finally caught sight of Pinai Sara Falls. The water volume was impressive, and while we couldn't get too close to the base of the falls, it felt great to swim around the pool-like area nearby. Also, eating a bento (rice balls) while listening to the sound of the falls was exceptionally delicious. I wished we could have stayed at the falls a bit longer, but we headed to Yufu Island next. It took about 40 minutes by car, and this drive was also quite enjoyable while taking in the scenery. Now, as for Yufu Island... it was my second visit, but the most touching moment was the sudden performance of the sanshin by an old man herding water buffalo. Listening to the sanshin amidst the backdrop and atmosphere of Iriomote was truly delightful. Overall, the tour, which allowed us to experience the falls, jungle, canoeing, the drive, and the rustic tourist spot of Yufu Island all in one day, was quite good.

ピナイサーラの滝、カヌーに乗って、ゆっくりマングローブの川を上り、麓に着くとカヌーの大群が。
それでも、案内人はテキパキとカヌーを停泊し、いざ、滝を目指す。
道中も人が多いのに驚きましたが、南国のジャングルを歩くだけでも、ワクワクします。
大きな水音が聞こえてくると、いよいよピナイサーラの滝が見えてきます。
水量も多く、大迫力、滝の真下近くまでは行ってはいけませんが、プールのような滝壺周辺で泳いで気持ちよかったです。
また、滝を見ながら音を聴きながら食べるお弁当（おにぎり）は、格別においしいです。
もう少し滝にいたかったのですが、次の由布島に向かいます。
40分くらい車で移動、このドライブも景色見ながら、なかなか楽しいオプションです。
さて、由布島は、、、2回目でしたが、とくに感動は、、、あるとすれば水牛を御してるおじいさんの突然の三線演奏です。
西表の背景と空気感が漂う中で聴く三線は実に気持ちいいものでした。
全体通じて、滝、ジャングル、カヌー、移動のドライブ、鄙びた観光地由布島、これらを一日かけてセットで体験できるツアー、なかなかよかったです。　

I had a great time! The guide, Shoutarou, was kind and wonderful to the children! Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again.

とても楽しかったです！
ガイドのお兄さん(しょうたろうさん)が、子供にも優しくて素敵でした！
ありがとうございました
また利用したいです。

I was worried about the weather being unstable on the reservation date, but they contacted me and changed it to the next day, allowing me to see everything beautifully on the best day. It was just like the image I had seen in photos, and it felt like a planetarium; I was really moved. I'm so glad I did it!

Additionally, after the experience, they introduced me to many recommended shops in Miyako Island, and their service was excellent!

予約日が天気が安定しておらず心配していたら連絡くださり、翌日に変更してベストな日に綺麗な見ることができた。写真で見てたイメージのまんまを現地で見れてプラネタリウムみたいでとっても感動でした。やって本当によかったです！
また、体験後に宮古島のおすすめのお店などもたくさん紹介してくださり対応がよかったです！

I was able to see the Milky Way with my own eyes, and it was truly moving. Although the weather was a bit concerning, they patiently waited until the clouds cleared and taught us about the stars. The atmosphere was very friendly and pleasant throughout the entire experience!

肉眼で天の川を見ることができ、感動しました。
雲行きが少し不安でしたが、雲無くなるまで待機させて頂けたり、星について教えていただけたり、非常にフレンドリーで終始和やかな雰囲気で撮影頂けました！

I heard that it would be a moon photo since it was close to a full moon, which was fine, but I really wanted to see the stars. Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were incredibly beautiful. I could even see the Milky Way with the naked eye. When I mentioned that I wanted something dreamy and couldn't decide on a pose, they took some very enchanting photos for me. They were really nice and also recommended great places to eat! Thanks to this tour, I was very satisfied from the first day of my solo trip! I would love to do it again. Highly recommended!

満月に近かったため月フォトになるって聞いてて、それはそれでよかったけどやっぱり星がいいなぁって思っていたら天気に恵まれてすごく綺麗な星でした。肉眼でも天の川が見れました。私がポーズを決めかねて幻想的なのがいいってアバウトに行ったらとても幻想的な写真を撮ってくれました。すごくいい方でおすすめの食事の場所も教えてくれました！1人旅の初日からこのツアーのおかげですごく満足できました！またお願いしたいです。おすすめです！

The starry sky was beautiful, and I was able to see various creatures and had a great time. However, when taking photos at the end, it would be helpful to instruct the people behind to turn off or lower their lights, as the backlighting made it difficult to capture decent images. Additionally, while there are multiple photos of families with children, there is only one photo of adults participating alone, which is concerning. Also, most of the photos are blurry, and some are out of focus, making them not suitable for sharing with others. I hope you consider whether these photos are appropriate for reminiscing about the memories.

星空も綺麗で、様々な生き物を見ることができ、楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ、最後に写真を撮る時に後ろの人にライトを消すか下げるかの指示を出さないと、逆光でまともに映りません。また、ご家族でお子さんと一緒に参加してる方の写真は複数あるのに大人だけで参加してる人の写真は最後の1枚だけなのが気になります。あと基本ぶれてます。ピントが合ってないものもあり、とても人に渡すための写真とは思えません。思い出を振り返るための写真がこれでいいのか考えていただきたいものです。

I experienced the excitement of heading to the northernmost point and enjoyed fresh sashimi and thick white fish fry at a cozy, charming diner overlooking the blue sea. It was incredibly delicious and became the best reward for myself so far. Additionally, the theater about the Yanbaru forest, where I could lie down and watch, was very soothing and helped me forget the daily hustle and bustle. Next time, I want to go see the Milky Way!

最北端を目指すワクワク感と、青い海が見下ろせる開けた場所に、こじんまりとした味のある食堂で、新鮮なお刺身と肉厚の白身魚のフライをいただきました。
とっても美味しくて、これまでで最高の自分へのご褒美になりました。
また、寝転んで見るやんばるの森についてのシアターも日々の喧騒を忘れて、とても癒されました。
今度は、天の川を見に行きたいです！
