All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

The weather was bad, but I was able to see sea turtles, and the guide was very nice. Thank you very much.

天気は悪かったけど、ウミガメも見れて、ガイドさんも感じがとても良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

ほとんど曇りで雨の日でしたが、ジャングルとその天気はとても良い組み合わせだと思います。マングローブ川でのカヤックはとても楽しくてリラックスできましたし、滝も素晴らしかったですし、洞窟は雨の中の冒険のようでした。とても楽しい体験をしました。強くお勧めします！

It was mostly cloudy and rainy day, but I think the jungle and that weather are quite a good match. Kayaking on the mangrove river was so fun and calming, the waterfall was great, and the cave was like an adventure in the rain. Such fun experience I had. Highly recommended!

I apologize to the staff. It was cloudy, and after much deliberation on-site, I decided not to participate. I plan to try again next time.

スタッフの方々には申し訳無かったです。
曇っていて、現地で悩んだ末に不参加と決断しました。
次回、また、トライしようと思ってます。

We progressed through the mangroves by canoe and then trekked to Pinai Sara Falls. Along the way, they provided explanations about the flora and fauna and took photos at various points. They even used a 360-degree camera, which was quite innovative. After enjoying handmade Yaeyama soba for lunch, we took a boat to Barasu Island, where we also took commemorative photos. After that, we snorkeled at a snorkeling point for as long as we wanted until time was up. The sea around Iriomote was beautifully adorned with coral, resembling a flower garden, and we even encountered sea turtles, which was incredibly fun.

マングローブをカヌーで進み、途中からトレッキングでピナイサーラの滝へ。
道中、動植物の解説を交えながら、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくれます。
360度撮れるカメラでも撮ってくれて、なかなか工夫がされています。
ご主人手作りの八重山そばでランチをした後は、バラス島まで船で行き、そこでも記念撮影。
後は、シュノーケリングポイントで時間が来るまで好きなだけシュノーケリング。西表の海はサンゴがお花畑のように美しくて、海ガメとも遭遇できてとっても楽しかったです。

It was an amazing experience - the pilot was very professional and the team helped me understand and prep me for the experience.

I had a great time.
I participated on May 1st, the first day of the Reiwa era.
The tour guide and the driver were very nice, and even though it rained and we got caught in traffic, I didn't feel any of the difficulties and spent a fulfilling time.
On the way to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we were almost late for the last dolphin show due to traffic, but thanks to the quick thinking of the two of them, we were able to see it safely.
They provided water, candy, and snacks at good points, which lifted my spirits and made me feel relaxed.
Thank you very much.
The trekking was fun, but it started to rain heavily. When we got on the bus, they always kindly said, "It was tough, thank you for your hard work."

でしたが、楽しめました。
令和初日の５月一日に参加しました。
添乗員さん運転手さんのお人柄が良く、雨が降ったり渋滞にも巻き込まれたのに、そんな大変さも感じらことなく充実した時間を過ごしました。
美ら海水族館までの道中は、渋滞で最後のイルカショーに間に合わないところでしたが、お二人の機転で、無事に観ることが出来ました。
お水や、あめ、お菓子など良いポイントで提供していただき、疲れも吹っ飛び心が和みました。
どうもありがとうございました。
トレッキングは、楽しかったのですが、激しく雨がふってきましたが、バスに乗る時に、大変でしたね、お疲れ様でしたと、必ず優しい声をかけていただきました。

The day we had planned had poor weather, but I appreciated the flexible response in changing to another day. On the day of the shoot, the photographer taught us posing, which made it enjoyable. Additionally, during the waiting time, I received recommendations about the island, which were helpful for my island exploration the following day.

Above all, I was overwhelmed by the stunning starry night sky.

予定していた日は天候が優れなかったのですが、別日に変更していただくなど、柔軟な対応がありがたかったです。
当日の撮影は、カメラマンさんがポージングを教えてくれたので、楽しく行えました。
また、待ち時間に島のおすすめ情報なども教えていただき、翌日からの島巡りの参考になりました。

何よりも、夜空の満点の星空に圧倒されました。

Unfortunately, it rained while I was trekking at Oishi Forest Park, but there were free umbrellas available in various spots, allowing me to fully enjoy the power spot without any inconvenience. I think it would have been even better if the weather had been nice...

あいにくの天気で大石林山をトレッキングする時に雨に降られましたが、無料の貸し傘がところどころに置かれていて、不自由することなくパワースポットを満喫できた。
天気が良ければなお良いとは思いますが・・・。

The path to the meeting place was dark and a bit unsettling, but once I arrived and looked up at the sky, I was thrilled to see so many stars. During the waiting time, we chatted about various things, and I had a great time taking photos. The pictures turned out beautifully, and I was very satisfied; it became a wonderful memory.

集合場所までの道のりが真っ暗で不安でしたが、到着して空を見上げると星がたくさん見れてワクワクでした。待ち時間の間も色々お話して下さったり、楽しく撮影してもらえました。写真もとても綺麗で大満足で、良い思い出になりました。

A starry sky like I've never seen before, with the sound of waves while taking photos. It was so much fun. The guide and the photographer were very attentive, and it became a wonderful memory.

今までに見た事の無い、空一面の星空。波の音を聞きながらの写真撮影。とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんやカメラさんも丁寧な対応をして頂き、とても良い思い出になりました。

We participated as a family of four. Although we were not very strong, thanks to Kazuya's support, we were able to complete it successfully. In the end, I, as the dad, might have been the weakest one (laughs).

家族4人で参加しました。非力な我が家でしたが、カズヤさんのサポートあり無事完遂出来ました。最後はオヤジの私が一番非力だったかもしれません（笑）。

The explanation using a pointer and the distribution of binoculars to individuals were great. I got lost because I couldn't find the meeting place. Since it was held at night and it was dark, I couldn't see anything even when they mentioned a blue container. Being in a field in Ishigaki Island at night, I was honestly scared when they said that there might be habu snakes or other poisonous creatures, but that it was okay because they had set up nets. I was worried if someone was keeping watch. Also, when I arrived at the meeting place, I carelessly got out of the car, but later I thought it was reckless since I could have been bitten by a habu. I would like them to inform everyone not to get out of the car after explaining the dangers, even if they are the first to arrive.

ポインタ使っての説明や個人に双眼鏡を配布いただいての説明がありよかった。
現地集合場所がわからず迷ってしまった。
夜の開催で暗くて見えないので青いコンテナとか言われても見えない。
石垣島の畑で晩なので、ハブとか有毒生物が出てくる可能性がありネットを張ってるから大丈夫と現地で言われても正直怖かった。誰か見張ってくれてるか心配だった。また、現地集合で到着した際に安易に車の外に出てしまったが後で考えればハブに噛まれていたかもしれず軽率だったと思った。最初に到着しても危険性を説明した上で車外に出ないように周知して欲しい。

The weather was nice, and the day after the full moon made the moon very beautiful! Although there were fewer visible stars, I was able to see many stars using binoculars. The explanations were also easy to understand! It became a great memory. Thank you!

天気もよく、満月の次の日ということで月がとてもきれいでした！その分みえる星の数は少なかったですが、双眼鏡も使いながら沢山星をみられました。解説もわかりやすかったです！
よい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

We participated with my sister for the first time in Miyako Island! It seems that the previous day was a new moon, and we were able to see incredibly beautiful stars! We had a great time talking with a fun guy while taking pictures, and the photos turned out really beautiful, so we were very satisfied✨

On our way back, he recommended some restaurants and places to see for us since we had no plans for the next day. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy delicious food and had a wonderful trip.

初めての宮古島で姉妹で参加しました！
前日が新月だったようで、すごく綺麗な星を見ることができました！
楽しいお兄さんとお話しながら撮っていただけて、写真もとても綺麗で大満足です✨

帰り際に、翌日がノープランだった私達に、おススメのご飯屋さんや見るべき場所など教えてくれました。そのおかげで美味しいご飯を食べることができ、楽しい旅行になりました

The staff who guided us were knowledgeable about various things and were wonderful. It started to rain heavily partway through the day, but it was an experience that reminded me of my childhood. As I entered the cave, I thought, "Is it really going to be like this?" and then an incredible view unfolded before me, which was moving. I felt that such an experience is hard to come by.

ガイドしてくださったスタッフの方もいろんな事をよく知ってて、ステキでした。
当日は途中から雨も強く降り始めましたが、子供の頃を思い出したような体験でした。洞窟はこんな所入って行くの～と思っていくと、すっごい景色が広がり、感動でした。こんな体験なかなか出来ないと思いました。

Flight was canceled due to weather can I please get my refund

It was my first time taking starry sky photos, and I was deeply moved by how beautifully they turned out! I felt a bit anxious walking down the dark path to the meeting point, but when I arrived, a friendly young man was waiting for us, which put me at ease. Once I got out of the car, the sky was filled with stars, and all my worries disappeared; it was truly breathtaking☆

Even though I hadn't thought about any poses, the young man gave various instructions, and we had a lot of fun during the shoot! The photos became wonderful memories♡ If I come to Miyako Island again, I would definitely want to do this again!! Highly recommended♡

初めての星空フォトでしたが、とてもステキに撮って頂いて感動しました！集合場所に行くまでが真っ暗の道を行くので少し不安がありましたが、場所に着いたら感じの良いお兄さんが待っていてくれて安心しました。そして、車から降りたら満点の星空が見え、それまでの不安が吹き飛び、感動でした☆
写真もポーズを全く考えていなかったにも関わらず、お兄さんがいろいろ指示を出してくれて楽しく撮影出来ました！思い出に残る写真になりました♡宮古島に来たらまた是非またお願いしたいです！！とてもオススメです♡

I was worried because the weather and cloud conditions can greatly affect the experience, but luckily I was able to see the best starry sky and take wonderful photos! The staff were also kind, and I had a great time!

天気や雲の状況が大きく左右されるので不安でしたが、運良く最高の星空が見れてステキな写真を撮っていただけました！
スタッフの方も親切でとても楽しかったです！

My first time in Miyako Island. I requested a stargazing photo tour on Kurima Island, which I had been curious about. They helped me come up with various poses, and I was able to get wonderful photos under the starry sky that I could never have taken myself. (They even added wings to some of the photos!) Thanks to them, I was able to create beautiful memories. Additionally, they provided me with tourist information about Miyako Island and Irabu Island, and I was able to visit the spots I wanted to see. Thank you very much.

初めての宮古島。気になっていた来間島での星空フォトツアーをお願いしました。
ポージングもいろいろと考えてくださり、満点の星空の下で、自分では撮れないような素敵な写真を撮ってもらえました。(羽根も描いていただきました！)
おかげさまで素敵な思い出を作ることができました。
また、宮古島や伊良部島の観光情報も教えてもらい、行きたかったスポットにも行くことができました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in late March, and I was first amazed by the perfect starry sky! It was a place on Miyako Island where the stars are particularly visible, and when I got out of the car after turning off the engine, I was momentarily stunned by how clearly I could see them! It felt like I was surrounded by stars. They used a special camera for the photos, taking about 30 seconds for the shutter, capturing images that you wouldn't normally be able to get. They took around 10 different shots and taught me various poses. On the way back, they kindly shared some hidden spots on the island, and they were friendly until the very end! I absolutely recommend it!

３月の下旬の参加でしたが、まず満点の星空に驚きました！宮古島の中でも特別に良く星が見える場所で、着いてから車のエンジンを切って外に出たら一瞬ぎょっとするほど見えました！星に周りを囲まれているような感じでした。撮影も専用のカメラで、シャッターに30秒ぐらい時間をかけて、普通では撮れない写真を撮ってくれます。10パターンくらい撮ってくれて色々ポーズも教えてくれました。帰りに島の穴場スポットを丁寧に教えてくれて、最後まで親切にしていただきました！絶対オススメです！

I was impressed that so many stars are visible and that they have names. It was fun to see the moon up close through the telescope. I had no idea you could see stars in Ishigaki Island. There was a poster at the restaurant where we had our meal, and since you can sign up on the day, we decided to go. I was able to get there by zooming in a lot on the navigation. I recommend going to the restroom before leaving the hotel since there are no restrooms available.

こんなに星って見えるし名前もあるんだと感心しました
望遠鏡で月が近くにあるように見えたので楽しかったです
石垣島で星を見る？全然知りませんでした。
食事をしたお店でポスーターがあって
当日申し込みができるので決めました
場所はナビをすごく拡大にして行けました
トイレが無いのでホテル出発前に必ず行くことをお勧めします

It was a day when we were worried about strong spring winds and rain, but our guide was very enthusiastic in ensuring we could safely experience Iriomote Island. The lunch we had in the mountains was so delicious that it reminded me of the joy of school field trips when I was in elementary school. We were even able to snorkel, which I thought would be impossible, and I was truly happy to swim in the coral sea with sea turtles and tropical fish! With such a packed itinerary, I thought I would like to stay on Iriomote Island longer next time.

春の強風と雨が心配された日でしたが、私達が安全に西表島を体験できるよう、とても熱心にガイドしていただきました。山の中で食べたお弁当は、小学生の頃の遠足の喜びを思い出す位に美味しく感じました。無理かと思われていたシュノーケリングも出来て、海ガメや熱帯魚と一緒に珊瑚の海を泳ぐことができ本当に幸せでした！盛りだくさんの内容で、次はもっとゆっくり西表島に滞在してみたいと思いました。

The guide was very kind and fun, and although we were caught in the rain while canoeing, it added to the adventure and was really great. The stories were interesting, and the giant rice balls we had for lunch were delicious, especially enjoyed in front of the waterfall. We had to crouch quite a bit to enter the cave, but we felt the beauty of nature's formations. It was a day filled with energy from nature!

ガイドさんもとても優しく楽しい方でカヌーも行きしなは雨に降られましたが、それもまた、探検ぼくてとてもよかったです。お話も面白くお昼ご飯の特大おにぎりも、滝の前で食べれて本当においしかったです。洞窟もかなりかがんだりしながら中に入り自然の造形美を感じました。自然からパワーをいっぱいもらった1日でした！

We participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island with my wife and our second-grade son. The guide was very kind to us, and we had an incredibly memorable and amazing experience.

During the canoeing and trekking to the waterfall, the guide provided detailed explanations about the natural creatures and plants, and he answered my son's various questions appropriately, deepening his interest in nature. It was also a lot of fun to dive into the waterfall pool.

The itinerary was manageable even for canoe beginners, thanks to the appropriate advice, and the trekking was quick, taking only about 30 minutes.

The latter part in the limestone cave surprised me a bit as I didn't expect that to be the entrance, but it was filled with a sense of adventure and was enjoyable.

Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island and participate! My son seems to have had an unforgettable experience and is excitedly saying he wants to go back to Iriomote Island!

小２の息子と妻と3名で石垣島からの日帰り参加でした。
ガイドさんにはとても良くして頂き、非常に思い出に残る最高の体験ができました。

滝までのカヌーやトレッキングでは自然の生物や植物について細かく説明してくれて、息子の様々な質問にも適切に答えてくれて、自然への興味をより深いものにしてくれました。
滝壺にもダイブで入れ、とても楽しかったです。

行程は、カヌー初心者でも適切なアドバイスで問題なく進めることが出来たし、トレッキングも30分程度で行けるのであっという間に行けました。

後半の鍾乳洞は、ここから入るの？ってところが入口で少々ビックリしましたが、秘境感満載で楽しかったです。

今度は西表島に宿泊して参加したいと思います！！
息子も忘れられない体験になったようで、西表島また行きたい！と騒いでます

I was surprisingly moved. It really felt like a planetarium. The explanations about the stars were clear and excellent. I'm glad I participated.

思いのほか感動しました。ほんとにプラネタリウムみたいでした。星の説明もよくわかり最高でした。参加してよかったです。

I was worried about the moonlight, but I was able to enjoy both the waxing moon and the starry sky. The explanations were easy to understand and the content was interesting. By using the binoculars we borrowed, I could see fine stars that I wouldn't have noticed with the naked eye. It was a warm day, but I prepared for the cold just in case by bringing a down jacket. However, it was very cold during the open bus ride. If I had been informed in advance that there would be an open bus in March, I could have prepared with a hat or hood, so that was a bit disappointing.

月明かりが心配でしたが、上弦の月と星空どちらも楽しめました。解説もわかりやすく、興味深い内容でした。
貸していただいた双眼鏡を使う事で、肉眼では気がつかないような細かい星も見ることができます。暖かい日でしたが、念のためダウンなどの防寒準備をしていきました。しかし、オープンバスの移動中がとても寒かったです。3月中もオープンバスであると事前に連絡があれば、帽子やフードなどで対応できたのでそこだけ残念でした。

It was just the two of us, an uncle and an aunt, but they were kind and fun guides, and we had a great time.

We were able to play a lot in nature! It felt like returning to childhood. The zip line from the waterfall was refreshing.

We look forward to diving again!

おじさん、おばさんの2人でしたが、親切な楽しいガイドさんで、とっても楽しかったです。

自然の中で、一杯、遊べました！
童心に帰れまーす。
滝からのジップライン、爽快です。

また、ダイビングでも、ヨロシクお願いしまーす。

We participated as a family of five from a hotel in Ishigaki Island. We chose this ambitious tour, wanting to be active and do various activities. However, with the rain and wind, we were prepared for cancellation, but the tour went ahead. The ferry to Uehara Port was canceled, so we took a bus via Ohara Port and arrived over an hour late to start the tour.

Canoeing was my first experience, but the current was gentle, so there were no issues. Time felt like it was flowing slowly. Next was trekking, where we had a plant guide and made our way to a waterfall with a significant drop. The rain had increased the water flow, and I was surprised to see the powerful waterfall up close. On the way back in the canoe, I was already accustomed and felt relaxed. Our guide, Aya, shared many wonderful things about Iriomote, making for a fun time.

Due to the rain, we had our meal in a monsoon, and with guidance from Aya's husband, Mr. Kamei, we started snorkeling. Even in the rain, the underwater world was beautiful with fish and coral, and I was moved to see sea turtles and sea snakes. There were hats, towels, raincoats, and wetsuits available, so forgetting something wasn't a problem.

There were times when the rain intensified, but since we were going to get wet anyway, it was all in good fun. Although the temperature was low for the season and the weather was bad, the attentive service from the Kamei couple warmed our chilled bodies, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on Iriomote Island. It would have been perfect if the weather had been clear, but I was still satisfied.

石垣島のホテルから家族5人で参加。
アクティブに行こうといろいろ入ったこの欲張りツアーを選ぶ。しかし雨、風となり中止も覚悟したが決行。上原港行きは欠航し大原港経由でバスでたどり着く。予定より1時間以上遅れてツアースタート 。 カヌーは初めてでしたが流れは緩やかで問題なし。 時間もゆっくり流れる感覚でした。続いてトレッキングは植物ガイドしてもらいながら落差のある滝までの往復。雨で水量増えて大迫力を間近で見れてビックリでした。帰りのカヌーではもう慣れて余裕でした。ガイドのあやさんが西表の素晴らしいところを沢山教えてくれて楽しい時間でした。
雨のためモンスーンで食事し、あやさんご主人の亀井さんのガイドでシュノーケリングスタート。雨でも海の中は魚に珊瑚でキレイで海ガメウミヘビにも会えて感動。
帽子やタオルやカッパにウェットスーツ、温水シャワーもあり、忘れ物しても問題なかった
雨きつくなる時もあったがどうせ濡れるしご愛敬。季節的に気温は低くさらに天候悪く不安いっぱいでしたが、案内してくれた亀井ご夫婦の至れり尽くせりの対応で家族皆、冷えた体も暖かくなって西表島を満喫し終われました 晴れであれば最高ですが満足できました。

It was raining on the day of our adventure, which brought down our spirits a bit. However, we paddled our canoe through the heavy downpour and ventured deep into the river. From there, we trekked up through the dense jungle, and the sight of the swollen Pinai Sara was impressive, lifting our spirits significantly. The cave was completely dark without any lighting. We wore headlamps and bumped our helmets against the rocks, crouching down and getting our lower bodies wet—it was truly an adventure. The staff from Iriomote Island Monsoon were friendly and taught us many things with great care.

当日は雨だったのでテンションは下がっていたのですが
土砂降りの中、カヌー漕いで川の奥まで行き、そこからトレッキングで密林を登って目に入ってきた増水したピナイサーラは迫力があり、テンションアゲアゲになりました。また、洞窟は照明もなく真っ暗でした。
私達は、ヘッドライトをつけながら、ヘルメットを岩にぶつけたり、しゃがんで下半身を濡らしたりとまさにアドベンチャーでした。
西表島モンスーンさんは人柄も良く、丁寧で色んな事を教えてもらいました。

Making a schedule was easy and the agency staffs were very nice.
