All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

It was a kind initiative to accept reservations and cancellations up until the day of the event, especially since it was weather-dependent. I would have appreciated it if the tour explanation included that it was a difficult situation for taking photos. The reclining chairs were not comfortable, and the position was tough, so be prepared for that. The content was very good, but it was hard to understand because the pointer was quickly moved away, and I wasn't sure when to use the binoculars. I think it would be better if that aspect could be improved. Honestly, I would have been even happier if we could see the stars for a little longer (another 30 minutes).

当日まで予約とキャンセルを受け付けてくれるので、天候に左右されるイベントとしては親切な企画でした。写真をとるのが難しいシチュエーションだったので、ツアーの説明にいれていただいたらうれしかったです。リクライニングチェアーは快適とはいえず、体勢はしんどいので覚悟が必要です。内容はとてもいいのですが、ポインターをすぐにどかしてしまうのでわかりにくいですし、双眼鏡の使いどころもよくわからなかったです。その点は、改善いただくとより良いと思います。正直、もう少し長く（あと３０分）星が見れるとさらにうれしかったです。

Thank you for taking such wonderful photos! The starry sky was so beautiful, and I definitely recommend going. I'm glad I went to capture these lovely memories of Miyako Island!

すごく素敵な写真を撮って頂きありがとうございます☆星空が綺麗すぎて是非行ってほしいです。すてきな宮古島の思い出になり撮りに行ってよかったです！

Two years ago, my main purpose for visiting Miyako Island was to take photos of the starry sky! However, despite trying for two days, the weather was bad and I couldn't take any pictures... The person in charge was very kind and even came to greet me. When I visit again, I plan to have that same person take my photos for a two-year revenge... Unfortunately, the person in charge two years later was away on a business trip, but another staff member was also very kind and took truly amazing photos for me. It was really an excellent starry sky photo tour!!! Thank you very much!!!

２年前に宮古島に訪れた際１番の目的が星空フォトでした！
しかし、二日間粘りましたが、天気が悪く撮ることができませんでした…
ご担当された方が親切に対応してくれて、わざわざ挨拶にも来てくれました。
また訪れるときは、その担当の方に撮ってもらおうと思い、２年後のリベンジ…
あいにく２年後の担当の方は、ご出張でご不在でしたが、別の担当の方も親切に対応していただき本当に最高な写真を撮っていただきました。
本当におすすめな星空フォトツアーでした！！！
ありがとうございました！！！

I participated with my fourth-grade child. We walked along a narrow path in the forest, relying on our lights. Just that alone made it feel like an adventure, and my child seemed to really enjoy it. Along the way, we all searched for living creatures. The guide passionately shared detailed information about the creatures we found. The guide's love for wildlife really came through, and we had a wonderful time.

Then, we turned off our lights and saw the starry sky in complete darkness. I was moved to realize just how many stars there are. We also got to see the coconut crab we were hoping to find. I'm really glad we participated. Thank you very much!

小学4年の子供と参加させて頂きました。
森のなかの細道をライトを頼りに歩きます。それだけでも探検気分でこどもは楽しそうでした。
その道すがら、みんなで生きものを探します。見つけた生きものについて、ガイドさんが詳細に、そして熱く語ってくれます。ガイドさんの生きもの愛がとても伝わってきて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
そして、ライトを消して、真っ暗闇の中見る
満天の星空。星ってこんなにあるんだな、と改めて認識でき、感動しました。
そして、お目当てのヤシガニともバッチリ会えました。参加してよかったです。
ありがとうございました！！

I participated with my child who is in the second year of middle school. We walked along a narrow path in the forest, relying on our lights. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about the creatures we encountered with precision and passion, which was fascinating and made the experience very enjoyable. Additionally, the starry sky we saw after walking quite a distance was breathtaking. I had never seen the Milky Way so clearly before, so it was truly wonderful! Thank you very much!!

中学2年の子供と参加させて頂きました。
森のなかの細道をライトを頼りに歩きます。
ガイドさんがかなりの博識で、見つけた生きものについて、どんな質問にも的確に、かつ熱く語ってくれるのですが、それが面白く、とても楽しめます。
また、歩いて行った先で（結構歩いたと思います）見る満天の星空は、感動できです。
天の川があんな風にはっきり見たことがなかったので、本当によかったです！
ありがとうございました！！

Miyako Island has unpredictable weather that often doesn't match the forecast, but we were lucky and it was sunny! At the meeting time, there was heavy rain, and we waited in the car because we hadn't taken photos yet. We waited for just under an hour, but afterwards, we were able to take wonderful pictures. Since these are photos I couldn't have taken myself, I'm glad I asked for them. I definitely want to request this again when I visit Miyako Island next time.

宮古島は天気予報があてにならないくらい天気が変わりやすいですが、運良く晴れました！
集合時間には強い雨が振り、前の方がまだ撮れてないからと車で待っていました。一時間弱待ちましたが、その後素敵な写真を撮って頂けました。自分では撮れない写真なので、頼んで良かったです。また宮古島に行く際は必ずお願いしたいと思いました。

We participated as a couple because we wanted to see coconut crabs, and we were able to see various other unusual creatures as well. We were able to see several coconut crabs, and I was thrilled when I found one myself. The weather was nice, so the starry sky was also very beautiful. The guide's explanations about the creatures and the stars were detailed and easy to understand. They also included information about Miyako Island, which was helpful for our trip. Walking through the darkness was very exciting and fun. However, even at night in summer, it is still quite hot. It is essential to avoid skin exposure for insect repellent, but due to COVID-19, wearing a mask made it quite tough. I recommend wearing lightweight clothing and using insect repellent.

ヤシガニを見てみたくて夫婦で参加しましたが、他にも変わった生き物をいろいろ見られました。ヤシガニも数匹見ることができ、自分でも一匹見つけられたときは感動しました。お天気がよかったので、星空もとてもきれいでした。ガイドさんの説明は、生き物も星も詳しくてわかりやすかったです。宮古島情報も盛り込んでくださり、旅の参考になりました。暗闇の中を進んでいくのはとてもワクワク感があり、楽しかったです。ただ、夏は夜とはいえとにかく暑いです。虫除けのため肌の露出を避けることは必須ですが、コロナ禍ではマスクの着用もあるため、かなりしんどかったです。できるだけ薄手のものを着用し、虫除け剤を使用することをお勧めします。

The weather was great, and it was the perfect time to see the Milky Way, making for the best starry sky! The photos turned out wonderful, and this became my favorite memory from the trip! Thank you very much!!

天気も良く、時期的に天の川も見れて最高の星空でした！写真も素敵で、今回の旅行で１番の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！！

I was so moved by the starry sky I saw in Miyako Island that I definitely wanted to take starry sky photos when I visited again, so I made a reservation here based on the good reviews.

On the day of the shoot, I was worried because the weather was unstable during the day, but it cleared up at night for the photography session. I received advice that the strong wind could make my dress look puffy, so I held it down with my hands and feet while shooting.

The results were more beautiful than I expected, and it became a wonderful memory of my trip. I also fell in love with Miyako Island even more! I highly recommend it for travel memories.

以前宮古島で見た星空に感動して、また宮古島に行ったら絶対星空フォトを撮りたいと思っていて、口コミが良かったこちらに予約しました。
当日の日中は天気が不安定で心配しましたが夜には回復して撮影に。風が強くワンピースが広がると太って見えてしまうとアドバイスして頂き、見えないように足や手で押さえながらの撮影でした。
仕上りは予想以上に綺麗で旅行のいい思い出になりました。そして宮古島がもっと好きになりました！
旅の思い出におすすめします。

I signed up while keeping an eye on the weather, as cancellations were possible until the evening of the day. There were a few clouds, but I was able to see the Big Dipper and Scorpius clearly. During the event, I also saw shooting stars three times. In the latter half, as the boat returns to the port, the city lights and the lights of the ships docked in the harbor are quite bright, so I think the best chance to see the stars is in the first half, before the boat leaves the harbor.

当日夕方までキャンセル可能ということで、空の様子を見ながら参加申し込みしました。少し雲はありましたが、北斗七星やさそり座をはっきり見ることが出来ました。また、参加中に3回流れ星が見えました。船が港に戻る後半は、市街地の明かりや港に停泊中の船の灯がかなり明るいので、星を見るのは船が港から出て行く前半がチャンスかと思います。

I was able to see a lot of coconut crabs and the starry sky was absolutely stunning! Teru's guiding was lively and very enjoyable!

ヤシガニも沢山見れ、満点の星空も見ることができて最高でした！！
テルさんのガイドも軽快で非常に楽しかったです！！

We used a minivan for a tour with 8 participants. We were blessed with good weather and were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots in the northern region. The time spent at each location was sufficient. The seafood lunch was very delicious. We also enjoyed mineral water, shikwasa juice, Nago's manju, and cheesecake tart, making it a very satisfying tour. The driver was safe, and the guide's explanations and tour management were excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

8名参加のツアーのためミニバンの利用でした。天気に恵まれ、効率良く北部の観光地各地を廻れました。各地の滞在時間も十分でした。海鮮ランチは大変おいしかったです。ミネラルウォーター、シークヮーサージュース、名護のおまんじゅう、チーズケーキタルトも頂けて大満足のツアーでした。ドライバーさんは安全運転、ガイドさんの説明、添乗業務も申し分ありませんでした。おすすめのツアーです。

On the day of the shoot, the weather was not great with many clouds, but they contacted me in advance to check if the stars were visible from the shooting location before our scheduled time. The path to the meeting point was very dark, which made me a bit anxious, but when I arrived, I was greeted by a stunning starry sky that felt like a hidden gem known only to locals. The photographer was kind, and the shooting itself was a lot of fun! Thank you for the wonderful photos.

当日、雲が多く好天ではなかったのですが予約時間前に事前に撮影場所から星が見えるかどうか確認して連絡くださいました。
集合場所までの道のりは真っ暗で少し不安でしたが、着いてみたら現地の人しか知らないような満天の星空が出迎えてくれるとても素敵な場所でした。
カメラマンのお兄さんが親切で撮影自体とても楽しかったです！
素敵な写真をありがとうございました。

I requested to use the photos for my wedding. Despite the unstable weather on the day, I was able to get wonderful pictures. I'm looking forward to the finished product. Thank you!

結婚式に使用させていただくたまに依頼しました。当日天候が不安定にも関わらず素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。完成を楽しみにしてます。ありがとうございました！

I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a tour that showcases such untouched nature. I recommend it to those who have visited Okinawa several times.

However, on the day of the tour I participated in, the bus was slightly delayed from the meeting time. Although we were told to contact them in case of delays, the contact number provided in the printed itinerary was unreachable before the boarding time, which raised some concerns. I suggest that the planning company confirm this with the local company, including whether my observation was correct.

こういったありのままの自然しかないところをツアーとして楽しく見せていただいたことに感謝です。何回か沖縄に行かれたかたにはおすすめです。
なお、たまたま私が参加したツアーでは当日、バスが集合時間から若干送れましたが、遅れた場合必ず連絡するようにと言われていたにもかかわらず、私が印刷していた企画書では、その場合の連絡先の電話番号が搭乗時刻前にはそもそも音信が取れないことにになっていたなどいかがと思われることもありましたので(私のこの指摘が間違っていなかったかどうかなども含め)企画会社の方では現地会社と確認してください。

It was a full moon, so the starry sky photos weren't as I had hoped, but the pictures with the moon turned out beautifully, and I was very satisfied. They also taught me some poses, so I went without much thought, and the photos turned out lovely. Next time, I would like to have the starry sky captured during a new moon.

Since the sky was cloudy, the start was delayed by about 30 minutes. I understand it can be busy, but I would appreciate a heads-up in advance.

満月だったので思っていたような星空の写真ではなかったですが、月との写真もとてもきれいに撮って頂いたので大満足でした。ポーズも教えてくれたので、あまり何も考えずに行きましたが素敵な写真になりました。次は新月に星空の撮影をしてもらいたいと思いました。
空が曇っていたこともあり、時間が30分程度遅れての開始となりました。忙しいとは思いますが事前に連絡をもらえるとありがたいなと思いました。

The plan itself is commendable. Especially since places like the area around Higashimura and the Quina exhibition facility are difficult to access, this is helpful.

Since it's a loop, the seats on the right side are on the land side and can be dazzling in the sun during this time of year. Additionally, since the windows are generally closed, there may be ventilation issues if there are many participants.

It might also be a good idea to start from Nago or Motobu instead of Naha to increase the number of stay points.

企画そのものは評価できる。特に東村周辺やクイナ展示施設等は行きにくい場所にあるので、助かる。
周回なので右側席は陸側かつこの時期は日向側でまぶしい。また、基本的に窓は締切なので参加者が多い場合は換気の問題が出る。
那覇でなく名護・本部発にして滞在ポイントを増やしても良いかもしれない。

I went on a night tour to explore subtropical plants and animals and to observe the starry sky. Initially, we thought about finding a place on our own, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. Exploring the dark mountain paths with only a flashlight to search for subtropical plants and animals was quite challenging.

We successfully found a coconut crab, and we received explanations about geckos, spiders, and various subtropical plants, which increased our knowledge and made for a fun experience. The starry sky coincided with the best supermoon of 2022; although we couldn't see the Milky Way, we were treated to a view of the moonlight sparkling on the water's surface, a sight that could only be seen on this day. Thank you for your assistance with photography and everything else.

夜の亜熱帯動植物探しと星空見学に行って来ました。もともと自分たちで場所を探して行ってみようかと思っていましたが、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。真っ暗な山道を懐中電灯だけで探検し、亜熱帯動植物を探すのは難しいと思いました。
ヤシガニも無事見つかり、ヤモリ、クモ、亜熱帯植物も色々解説して頂き知識も増えて楽しい体験ができました。星空は、2022年で最高のスーパームーンと重なり、天の川を見ることは出来ませんでしたが、代わりに月夜が水面にキラキラする、この日にしか見れない景色が見れました。写真撮影等、お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

I wanted my 3-year-old child to experience nature, so we participated in a tour that went late into the night. I was a bit anxious since I brought another child along, but all the staff were very attentive, and my child had a truly valuable experience.

We wanted to see coconut crabs and frogs, but it had been a few days with little rain, which lowered our chances of encountering them. However, the staff worked hard to find them, and we were able to see them safely.

We also saw several habu snakes and witnessed cicadas emerging, which made my child very excited. I truly felt that coming to Ishigaki Island was a wonderful experience. I would love to participate again when my child grows up.

3歳の子供に自然の体験をさせたいと思い夜遅くまでのツアーでしたが参加させて頂きました。
もう一人子供も連れてなので不安な面もありましたが、スタッフさん皆さんが気にかけてくださりとても貴重な体験を子どもが経験できました。
ヤシガニやカエルが見たかったのですが、ここ数日雨も少なく遭遇できる確率も低いとのことでしたがスタッフのみなさんが必死に探してくれて無事に見ることができました。
他にもハブも何匹か見たりセミの羽化が見れたりと子どもも大はしゃぎ。石垣島にきてほんとによかったと思える体験ができました。
子どもが成長したらまた参加したいです。

I thought I might doze off for an hour, but I was overwhelmed by the humorous explanations and the captivating charm of the stars, making it an incredibly enjoyable and fulfilling experience that passed in the blink of an eye. Additionally, I took a taxi to get there, and after the event, the staff member came to help us in an area where it was difficult to catch a taxi, introducing us to several taxi companies. Thanks to that, we found one right away. It was a tour that I definitely want to participate in again!

1時間寝てしまうかなと思いつつ参加しましたが、ユーモア溢れる説明と引き込まれる星の魅力に圧倒してしまい、あっという間に過ぎ去るくらい楽しく充実した時間でした。また、今回タクシーで移動したのですが、終了後のタクシーが捕まらない所に担当者さんが来てくださり、数々のタクシー会社さんを紹介してくださりました。お陰ですぐに見つかりました。是非また参加したいと思えるツアーでした！

I was more thrilled in the jungle than I had imagined, and I was able to encounter many creatures. The starry sky viewed from the beach was also enchanting and beautiful. The guide was friendly and approachable, with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I was able to hear many interesting stories. From start to finish, including the shuttle bus, it was a lot of fun. It was a valuable experience and became the best memory of Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

想像していたよりもジャングルでドキドキしましたが、たくさんのいきものたちに出会うことができました。ビーチで見る星空も幻想的で素敵でした。
ガイドさんは気さくで親しみやすく、豊富な知識と経験をお持ちで興味深いお話をたくさん聞かせてもらえました。送迎バスも含めて、最初から最後までずっと楽しかったです。貴重な体験ができ、石垣島の最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Thank you for kindly accommodating us despite the same-day reservation. We were able to see many creatures in the forest that we wouldn't have been able to enter on our own. Just beyond the forest, we discovered a quiet sandy beach with no footprints! It was pitch dark, but it felt special, and I'm glad I participated in this tour. We also had plenty of time to enjoy the starry sky, which left us very satisfied.

当日の予約にも関わらず、快く引き受けてくださりありがとうございました。
自分たちでは入っていけないような森の中でたくさんの生き物が見れました。
森を抜けたところに足跡のついていない静かな砂浜が現れ！
真っ暗でしたが特別感がありこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
星空もゆっくり見る時間をとってくださり、大満足でした。

I had heard that Kaimajima has beautiful stars, but it was even more stunning than I imagined! There are almost no streetlights, and the shooting spots seem to be known only by the locals, so I think I wouldn't have been able to find them at night without their guidance. On the day of the shoot, I stayed at a nearby hotel and rode my bike to the location, and the starry sky along the way was also beautiful and amazing!

Regarding the photos, I received them the following night, and not only was the speed impressive, but seeing the finished product moved me even more! These are definitely not photos that an amateur could take with a smartphone. Since the weather can affect the schedule, whether or not the shoot goes as planned depends on luck, but I strongly recommend participating in the tour for anyone who wants to preserve memories of the starry sky! It became one of the wonderful memories of our honeymoon. Thank you very much!

来間島は星が綺麗と聞いていましたが、想像の何倍も綺麗で感動しました！
街灯はほぼなく、さらに撮影スポットも現地の方しか知らないような場所で、教えていただかないと夜には辿り着けなかったと思います。撮影当日は近くのホテルに宿泊していたので、現地には自転車で向かいましたが到着までの道中も星空が綺麗で素晴らしかったです！
写真についても翌日の夜には送っていただき、スピードはもちろんですが出来上がりを見てさらに感動しました！絶対に素人がスマホで撮影できる写真ではないです。天候に左右されるため予定通り撮影できるかは運もありますが、星空の思い出を形に残したい方はツアーの参加を強くオススメします！！
新婚旅行のいい思い出の1つとなりました。ありがとうございました！

I made a reservation for July 7, but due to heavy clouds, it was canceled and changed to the next day. I was worried it wouldn't be clear on the day, but it turned out beautifully sunny, and I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye—it was amazing. I saw it through the camera monitor, and the photos turned out fantastic. It seems the data will be sent in about 4-5 days, and I'm already looking forward to it. The staff were incredibly friendly, and they even played music during the shoot, which really lifted the mood.

7月7日に予約しましたが、雲が多く開催中止になったため翌日に変更。当日は曇りにならないか不安でしたが綺麗に晴れて天の川も肉眼で見えるほど素晴らしいかったです。
カメラのモニター越しに見ましたがとても素晴らしい写真に出来上がっていました。データが送られてくるのは4-5日後らしいのですが今から楽しみです。
スタッフの方はとにかくフレンドリーで、撮影中に音楽を流す演出もあり、気分も上がりました。

I was amazed by the views of the large rock formations at the Oishi Forest and was able to see the mangroves up close from the walking path. In the Kuina Forest, I had the chance to observe the adorable Yanbaru Kuina up close. The weather was also favorable, and from Cape Hedo at the northernmost point, I could see Yoronjima. I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sea and mountains in the Yanbaru World Heritage Site.

遊歩道からマングローブを間近に見たり、大石林山の景観に圧倒されました。また、クイナの森では愛らしく動くヤンバルクイナを間近で観察できました。
天候にも恵まれ、最北端の辺戸岬からは与論島を見ることができました。
やんばるの世界自然遺産の海と山の素晴らしさに感動しました。

I couldn't see the coconut crab, but I had a great time seeing many other creatures. The nature was rich, and I felt that everyone was doing their best. The guide was also interesting, and the quiz was fun. I want to go again!

ヤシガニは、見れなかったけど、沢山生き物がみれたので楽しかったです。自然が豊かで、みんな頑張っていると思いました。ガイドさんも、面白かったです。クイズも楽しかったです。また行きたいです！

I wanted to enjoy the night in Miyako Island, but it can be dangerous for just travelers, so I joined a tour! I was able to explore while listening to explanations from someone knowledgeable about insects and plants! I was able to spot about three coconut crabs, so I think there's a high chance of encountering them. The starry sky was also filled with information, as they taught us about the constellations, making the time fly by. The staff were very approachable as well. I participated in a dress, but this time I didn't get bitten by any insects. The walking path was a paved stone path, so sandals were fine.

夜の宮古島を楽しみたいけど、旅行者だけじゃ危ないので参加しました！虫や植物に詳しく、説明を聞きながら巡れました！
ヤシガニも3匹ほど見つけることができて高確率で出会えると思います。
星空も、星座を教えてくれたりと情報が盛りだくさんであっという間の時間でした。スタッフさんもすごく関わりやすかったです。
ワンピースで参加しましたが今回は虫に刺されることもなくすぎました。歩く道は、石畳の補正された道なのでサンダルでも大丈夫でした。

I have been to Miyako Island several times, and I have always wanted to join a night tour where I could see the starry sky. This time, I made a last-minute reservation while checking the weather.

The day before, I received a polite phone call with information.

However, on the night of the tour, it seemed that communication between the local staff and the office staff was not going well. Initially, I was told there would be five participants, but it ended up being 14, and there weren't enough lights. In the end, I had to participate without a flashlight in the dark, which was a bit disappointing.

I thought the tour content and the local staff were bright and good. There were many families, and it was lively.

宮古島には何度か行ってますが、
前から、星空画見れるようなナイトツアーに参加したく、
天候と相談しながら今回急きょ申し込みました。

前日に、丁寧な案内の電話もありました。

ただ、当日夜、現地スタッフのかたと、会社の事務のかたの連絡がうまくいっていなかったようで、
最初、五人だと言われていたツアーが、
１４人の参加となり、ライトが足りず、
結局、懐中電灯無しで暗い足元で参加することになってしまい、少し残念でした。

ツアー内容や、現地スタッフのかたは明るくて良かったと思います。

家族連れが多くて、賑やかでした

I recommend the Odd Rock and Giant Stone Course for exploring Oishi Forest Mountain. There are various power spots, and I received a lot of energy. It was amazing to see the Okinawa Rail as well.

大石林山の散策は奇岩・巨石コースがおすすめです。色々とパワースポットがあり、いっぱいパワーを頂きました。ヤンバルクイナも見学できて最高でした。

I previously participated in this course when the Churaumi Aquarium was included. It was fun back then, but I joined again because there were several facilities in Yanbaru that weren't part of the course before.

The Yanbaru Kuina was incredibly cute! Just that made it worth coming. Even though it was through glass, I could observe it quite closely. The seafood set lunch and the souvenir snacks were all delicious as well.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, the cafeteria was quite crowded, and the guide who brought the food seemed to have a tough time. Thank you for your hard work...

I was very satisfied with the content. I would like to participate again.

以前美ら海水族館がコースに入っていた頃に参加した事があります。その時も楽しかったのですが、このコースは以前はなかったやんばるの施設がいくつかあったため再び参加しました。
ヤンバルクイナちゃんがとにかく可愛かった！これだけでも来てよかった。ガラス越しですがかなりじっくり観察できます。お昼の海鮮定食やお土産のお菓子もみんな美味しかったです。
日曜だからか食堂がかなり混んでて、運んでくれるガイドさんが大変そうだった。お疲れ様です…
内容はかなり満足。また参加したいです。
