All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

After the typhoon, I was able to see a beautiful starry sky. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was thrilled. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I reminisced about how I learned about these things back in school while enjoying the view. Since it's an island floating in the sea, there were times when clouds would appear, so I thought it was necessary to be prepared for that. Still, I’m glad I participated because it's a starry sky that is hard to see otherwise.

台風一過綺麗な星空を見せて頂きました。天の川もハッキリみえ感激しました。ガイドの方の説明も分かり易く[学生の頃にそう言うのを教えてもらったなー]と思い出しながら観賞しました。海に浮かぶ島なので雲がわき出る時がありそれを覚悟して参加する必要があるかと思いました。それでもなかなか観ることの出来ない星空なので参加して良かったと思っています。

I wanted to see what a power spot was like, so I participated in the tour. During the drive to the northern part, I listened to the audio guide and Okinawan songs, enjoying the scenery outside without getting bored. Cape Hedo had a beautiful view, and I'm glad I went. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I didn't feel rushed for time, but I think a slightly faster pace was just right.

I stayed at the aquarium for three hours and also relaxed at the adjacent beach. If I had more time, I would have liked to see the dolphin show and other buildings, but considering the schedule, it couldn't be helped. It was a very nice aquarium, so next time I want to join a tour that includes Kouri Island and visit again.

パワースポットとあったのでどんなところか行ってみたく参加しました。北部へのドライブ中は音声ガイドと沖縄ソングを聞き、外の景色を見ながら飽きることなく行けました。辺戸岬はとても景色良く、行ってよかったです。大石林山は時間が足りないことはありませんでしたが、少し急ぎ足で歩いてちょうどいい時間割だと思います。
水族館滞在は3時間で、水族館の他に隣接したビーチでのんびりしました。もっと時間があったらイルカショーや他の建物を見たかったですが、時間割を考えると仕方ないと思います。とてもよい水族館だったので、今度は古宇利島とセットのツアーに参加して再訪したいです。

On the day of the shoot, a typhoon was approaching and the sky was cloudy, but it seems that the weather in Miyako Island changes quickly, and after waiting a few minutes, a beautiful starry sky spread out before us!!! I was thrilled to be able to take photos under the stunning starry sky just like I had seen on Instagram and other social media!!! I jumped in without thinking about poses, but the photographer was very helpful in guiding me when I couldn't come up with anything. I enjoyed the final images as each one had different lighting and backgrounds in the sky!!!! I definitely want to take more photos the next time I visit Miyako Island!!!

当日は台風が接近していて曇り空でしたが、宮古島は天候が変わりやすいみたいで数分待つと綺麗な星空が広がりました！！！
インスタなどのSNSで見たまんまの綺麗な星空の下で写真が撮れたので感激です！！！
ポーズを何も考えずに挑みましたが、なにも浮かばくなるとカメラマンの方からご指導いただけるので、とても助かりました♪
出来上がりの画像も1枚1枚光の当たり方が違ったり空の背景が違っていて楽しめました！！！！
次回宮古島に行った際も絶対に撮りたいです！！！

On September 19 (Wednesday), with clear skies and sunshine, I eagerly awaited the bus tour to the northernmost point of Okinawa. It was a perfect day for a drive. The magnificent view from Cape Hedo and the adjacent Daichi Forest Mountain felt divine, and I can't be the only one who thinks so. Just exploring this place, away from the mundane world, somehow calms my heart, cleanses me, and heals me. Moreover, I was comforted by the attentive hospitality of the staff there, thank you very much. However, I was disappointed that the exploration time at Daichi Forest Mountain was short, and if there had been a guide, it would have been an impeccable tour. The tour included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the Oki-chan Show, and I was very satisfied.

P.S. Lastly, I would like to request an adjustment to the volume of the earphones. The sound was just too loud. That's all. I would also like to participate in other tours.

9/19(水曜日)晴天(太陽)待ちに待った、沖縄最北端のバスツアー、絶好のドライブ日和です。辺戸岬から見る壮大な絶景、それに隣接する大石林山⛰神々しい感じがするのは、私だけでは無いはず。俗世間を離れそこを探索するだけで、何故か心が落ち着く、洗われる、癒されるそんな大石林山です。しかもそこのスタッフの皆さんの細かなおもてなしにもいやされました、ありがとうございました。ただ、残念だったのが、大石林山での探索時間が、短かったのと、ガイドさんが居てくれたら、言う事無しのツアーです。
美うみ水族館とオキちゃんショーと大満足のツアーでした。
追伸:最後になりますが、イヤホンのボリュームの調整をしてもらいたいです。とにかく音が大きかったです。以上 又、他のツアーにも参加したいです。

I was completely satisfied! The guide was fun, and I was able to take a lot of photos! Canoeing for the first time was not difficult once we got started, and by the middle, I felt that everyone around us had grasped the technique. We quickly spotted turtles while snorkeling. Impressive! The sea was clear and beautiful! After getting out of the water, we had quite a bit of time before returning to the boat, which allowed us to take a leisurely shower, enjoy the horses, and relax in the hammock in the garden—those were great memories. It was a tour that made me want to come back here again.

とにかく満足でしかなかったです！
ガイドさんも楽しく、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました！はじめてのカヌーも漕ぎ出してしまえ ば難しい事もなく、中盤には周りの方たちもコツを掴んでいた様に思います。
シュノーケルでもあっという間にカメを見つけちゃう。さすがです。海も澄んでいて美しい！
海から上がってから船までの時間がけっこうあり、ゆっくりシャワーを借りて、馬さんを愛でたり、お庭のハンモックに揺られたりしながら過ごせたのもいい思い出です。
またここでと思えるツアーでした。

This time it was half a month, but the sky was quite bright, so the stargazing effect was reduced. I would like to participate next time during the new moon. Also, I think it would be more enjoyable to have some basic knowledge about the stars before joining this tour.

今回は半月であったがかなり空が明るかったため星空効果も半減。次回は新月の時に参加したい。あと参加する前に予備知識として少しは星空のことを理解していたほうがこのツアーはさらに楽しめると思います。

I took a nap and joined while rubbing my sleepy eyes in the middle of the night, but it was really great! Next time, I definitely want to participate with my girlfriend and family.

仮眠をとり夜中に眠い目を擦りながら参加しましたが、
めちゃ良かったです！
次は彼女や家族と是非参加させてもらいたいです。

Since it was sunny during the day, I decided to join on a whim while traveling. Even if you rent a car, there is a shuttle fee, but I think it's better to use the shuttle bus (the road to the venue is dark, and the event ends late).

The guide shares a lot of interesting stories, so you can enjoy it even if you're not knowledgeable about constellations. They also lend binoculars, which I recommend for those who want to see the Milky Way.

It was a half moon on the day I participated, so it was a bit disappointing that the moonlight was bright, but I was able to relax a lot. Next time, I want to join on a new moon or during a meteor shower.

昼間が晴れていたので旅行中に急遽参加を決めました。
レンタカーを借りていたとしても、送迎料金はかかりますが送迎バスを利用した方が良いと思います。(会場までの道は暗く、終わる時間も遅めなので)

ガイドの方がかなり色んなお話をしていただけるので、星座に詳しくなくても楽しめます。双眼鏡も貸して頂けるので天の川などみたい方にはオススメです。
参加した日半月でしたので、ちょっと月明かりが明るかったのが残念でしたがとてもリラックスできました。
次は新月の日や流星群が起こる日に参加してみたいな。

It was disappointing that there was no consideration for my family, who have difficulty walking and move slowly. There were no available seats, so we couldn't sit together.

家族が足が悪く、歩くのが遅かったのだが、そこに配慮がなく残念だった。
座席が余ってなくて、連れ同士で並んで座ることができなかった。

I arrived earlier than planned, but I was guided right away. The weather was nice, and I could see many stars with the naked eye. I was also shown the photos taken on-site, and I was amazed by the number and beauty of the stars! I requested a feather art piece, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out! The gentleman was very friendly and explained, "This is the Milky Way," allowing me to see a night sky that I usually can't experience, creating wonderful memories! I would love to request this again when I visit Miyako Island!

予定より早くついてしまいましたが、すぐ案内して頂きました。
天気も良く肉眼でもたくさんの星が見れましたが、その場で撮った写真も見せていただき、星の多さ、綺麗さに感動しました！
羽のアートもお願いしたのですが、どんな感じになっているか出来上がりが楽しみです！
お兄さんもとても気さくな方で、これが天の川で〜と説明もしていただき、普段見れない星空を見ることができ良い思い出になりました！
また宮古島に行った際はお願いしたいです！

We participated as a couple. Five years ago, we were moved by the stars in Miyako and wanted to capture the moment in photos, but at that time, there were no photo tours available. This time, we learned about the photo tour and signed up. The shooting lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. The location is very dark, so it might be a bit unsettling for first-timers, but once you get to the parking lot, you'll see cars parked, so it's all good!

夫婦で参加しました。
5年前に宮古で星を見て感動
写真に残したいと思いましたが
当時はフォトツアーもなく
今回フォトツアーを知って申込ました。
撮影は20分から30分程
場所は真っ暗なので初めての方は不安かもしれませんが駐車場まで行くと車が止まってるので大丈夫です！

I could see the Milky Way and some stars, but I wish I could have gone further out to a place where the light from the land wouldn't reach, or at least to a spot with less light pollution.

天の川も見えて、それなりに星は見えたのですが、もっと沖に出て陸地の光が届かないところまでとはいかなくても、もっと影響が少ないところまで出て欲しかったな、という感じです。

The stargazing tour in Ishigaki Island was amazing. The weather was great, and we could see the Milky Way clearly, along with many shooting stars. I want to participate again.

石垣島での星空観賞ツアー、最高でした
天気も良く、天の川もはっきり見れて、流れ星もたくさん見れました。
また参加したいです。

The day arrived with a lot of anticipation, especially since there was a rain forecast the day before.

Since it's Miyako Island, the stars are beautiful no matter where you look, but the spot where we took photos felt exceptionally stunning! The Milky Way, which was not visible near the hotel, was clearly visible, and we were able to see shooting stars right away.

The staff were very kind, sharing recommendations for spots on the island and suggesting great poses for the photos.

At first, I thought they might be adding wings to the photos later on...

But during the shoot, they used a penlight to draw in the air right there, and we took the photos together.

Wait, can you really create beautiful wings like that!?
I was surprised, but when I saw the photos, I was extremely satisfied and even more amazed.

While the weather can vary from good to bad, and the location can be a bit tricky to find, I highly recommend it!

前日雨予報もあり、かなりソワソワしながら当日を迎えました。

宮古島なのでどこで星をみても綺麗なんですが、撮ってもらう場所はダントツで綺麗に感じました！
ホテル付近では見えない天の川がしっかりと見え、流れ星もすぐみる事ができました。

スタッフさんもとても親切で、島のオススメスポットを教えて下さったり、オススメポーズを指示して下さいました。

写真に羽を後から書いているのかなーと初めは思っていたのですが、、、

撮影してる時にペンライトを使ってその場で宙に書いて、一緒に撮影して下さいました。

え、そんなので綺麗な羽が出来るの！？
と、驚きましたが、写真を見てとても満足のいくもので更に驚きました。

天候によって良い日悪い日があるのと、場所が少しわかりづらいですが、大変オススメです！

On the first day of the trip, it was cloudy and the stars were not visible, so the event was canceled with the announcement, "It doesn't seem like we'll be able to see anything if we wait like this." They provided some explanations along the way, but they refunded the full amount. The next day, the weather looked promising, so I signed up again! The weather held up until the evening, and I was able to see the Milky Way! My husband loves stars, but I'm not very knowledgeable about them, so I was a bit anxious. However, they used a laser to explain the stars, which made it easy to understand! I saw Saturn through a telescope for the first time, and it was very moving!

旅行の1日目は曇で星が見えず「このまま待っていても見えそうに無いので」という案内で中止になってしまいました。途中まで説明もしてくれたけれど全額返金してくれました。
翌日、天気が良さそうだったので再度申し込みをしました！夜まで天気がもってくれて天の川も見れました！主人が星が好きですが私は詳しくないので、どうなのか不安もありましたがレーザーを使って星の説明をしてくれたので分かりやすかったです！初めて望遠鏡で土星をみましたがとても感動しました！

I made a reservation for the starry sky photo experience without fully understanding it, so I felt a bit anxious on the day of the event. When I arrived at the site, I was greeted by a breathtaking starry sky that was beyond words, and the kind staff made me feel at ease. The shot I took with the Milky Way, which I had longed for, became a lifelong memory. When I communicated the image I wanted, the photographer captured it just as I envisioned. This photo features us as silhouettes with the Milky Way prominently displayed. That day, it became the best photo that could only be taken there. I am truly grateful to the wonderful staff.

星空フォトをよく分からないまま予約をしてしまい少し不安なまま当日を迎えました。
現地について涙が出そうなほど、言葉では表せないほどの星空と、優しいスタッフの方が迎えてくれて安心しました。念願の天の川とのショットが一生の記念になりました。撮りたいイメージを伝えるとカメラマンの方がイメージ通り撮ってくれました。この写真は、2人はシルエットで天の川をドーンと写してほしいと言ったものです。その日、そこでしか絶対撮影出来ない最高の写真になりました。素敵なスタッフの方たちにも、本当に感謝です。

I participated hoping for a perfect starry sky, but unfortunately, it was cloudy. I could see a few stars here and there, but it was at a level where the night sky from my home might be prettier. It was far from the photos in the guidebook, and I can only express my disappointment.

満点の星空を期待して参加したのですが、あいにくの曇り空☁️少しの星が見えたり見えなくなったりで、家から見る夜空の方が綺麗かも⁈というレベルでした。ガイドブックに載っていた写真とは程遠く、残念の一言しかありません。

It was amazing! I was so moved to see the stars and the Milky Way with my own eyes!

Moreover, the light from the stars created a path of light on the sea, which was enchanting.

I went with friends, but I thought I would like to come back with my loved ones and family next time.

The staff were very kind, easy to talk to, and it was a lot of fun. This is the most recommended tour for a trip to Miyako Island.

最高でした！
こんなに肉眼で星と天の川が見れるなんて！感動です。

それに、星の明かりで、海に光の道ができていて幻想的でした。

友達と行きましたが、
今度は、大切な人や家族とも見に来たいと思いました。

スタッフの方とても親切で、話しやすく楽しかったです。
宮古島の旅行で1番おススメのツアーです。

It was a perfect starry sky, just as the title suggests! I was moved by a sky that I had only seen in a planetarium, and the hour passed by in the blink of an eye!

タイトル通り満点の星空でした！
プラネタリウムでしか見たことがないような星空に感動の1時間であっという間に終わりました！

This time, I visited Miyako Island for the first time and participated in a stargazing photo tour. I was worried about the weather since there was a forecast for rain and clouds until the day before, but on the day itself, it was beautifully clear, and I was able to see a sky full of stars. It was the first time in my life that I saw so many stars, and it was an incredibly moving experience that I can't usually have. The shooting location was easy to find, so I didn't get lost. The staff were friendly and kind, making it the best trip ever. If I have the chance to go to Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to participate again.

今回、初めて宮古島に行き初めて星空フォトツアーに参加させていただきました。
前日まで雨予報や曇りだったので天気が心配でしたが、当日は見事に晴れて満天の星空を見ることができました。人生であれだけ多くの星を見たのは初めてだったし、普段なかなかできないとても感動的な体験でした。撮影場所もわかりやすく迷わず行くことができました。スタッフの方も気さくで親切にしていただき、最高の旅行になりました。また宮古島に行くことがあればぜひ参加させていただきたいと思います。

I participated at the beginning of August. The weather was clear that day, and the starry sky was truly beautiful.

All the surrounding lights were turned off, and sitting in the reclining chair, there was nothing to obstruct the view of the stars. It was great that binoculars were also provided. The staff member spent an hour talking about constellations and planets, and it was incredibly interesting! They used a laser pointer to indicate the stars, which was surprising and made it very easy to understand.

I could see the Milky Way flowing in a dome shape. It really made me feel that Earth is within the galaxy. Additionally, I was able to see shooting stars several times during the explanation. I think it was the most moving moment of my trip to Ishigaki Island. If possible, I would love to visit multiple times throughout the seasons!

The staff were also kind, and I believe that as long as the weather is favorable, it can be an amazing experience. It seems that if the weather is bad, it's possible to change the date, so it might be a good idea to contact them directly if anything comes up.

Lastly, a word of caution! The road to the venue is scary! (laughs) It's dark, there are no streetlights, and driving for several minutes was quite frightening (laughs). I had rented a car and skimped on the transportation fee, but I think it's better for those who are not confident to use the shuttle service.

8月の頭に 参加させていただきました。その日は天気も晴れていて 本当に星空が綺麗でした。

周りの明かりも全て消してくれて
リクライニングシートに座っていると、星空を遮るものは何もありませんでした。双眼鏡も用意されていたのも良かったです。
スタッフのお兄さんが1時間かけて、星座や惑星のお話をしてくださいましたが、とってもとっても面白かったです！レーザーポインター？を使って星を示してくれたので それもびっくりでしたし、大変わかりやすかったです。

天の川がドーム状に流れているのが見えました。地球が銀河の中にいることを強く感じます。
また、解説中何度も流れ星を見ることができました。石垣島旅行で一番感動した時間だったと思います。
できることならば、季節を変えて何度も訪れたい、、！

スタッフの方々も親切でしたし、
天気さえ恵まれれば 最高の体験ができると思います。天気が悪かった場合 日にちを変えることも可能なみたいなので、何かあったら直接連絡を取って見るのが良いのではないでしょうか。

最後に注意点です！
会場までの道が怖い！笑
暗いし、街灯もなくて、車で数十分行くのはかなり怖かったです（笑） レンタカーを借りていたので送迎代をケチってしまったのですが、自信のない方は送迎使ったほうがいいと思います。

The refreshing feeling of canoeing in a river surrounded by greenery, the sense of achievement upon reaching a waterfall during trekking, and the liberating sensation of jumping into the waterfall pool with that high energy—just the morning alone was more than satisfying. After that, I was able to enjoy snorkeling comparable to diving at the miraculous island, which was incredibly fulfilling. I had the best day ever. Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island and join a sunset tour as well.

緑に囲まれた川でカヌーをする爽快感、トレッキングで滝に到達した時の達成感、そのハイテンションで滝壺に飛び込む開放感、午前だけでも充分満足なのに、その後に奇跡の島でダイビング並のシュノーケリングができて、充実し過ぎでした。サイコーの一日を過ごせました。この次は西表島に泊まってサンセットツアーにも参加したいです。

We participated as a family of four, including two elementary school students and a middle school student. Both the kids and adults were extremely satisfied, with the kids saying they wanted to go again as soon as it was over.

The tour offered thrilling experiences like waterfall diving and zip-lining, while also allowing us to fully enjoy the great nature of Okinawa during the trekking. While Okinawa is often associated with the ocean, the mountain (valley) scenery is also highly recommended.

Our tour guide was a young man named Tatsuki, and his desire to entertain the participants was clearly conveyed. He was also very professional, understanding our requests and answering any questions we had.

In addition to the tour content, he shared great recommendations for delicious Okinawan cuisine and souvenirs, making us feel like we got a great deal. I would definitely like to request Tatsuki as our guide again next time.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

夫婦と小学生、中学生の４人で参加しました。子供も大人も大満足で、子供は終わるなりもう一回行きたいと言うほどでした。
滝壺ダイブやジップラインではスリルを味わえ、トレッキングでは沖縄の大自然を満喫できるツアーでした。
沖縄と言うと海というイメージと思われがちですが、山（沢）の景色もオススメです。
ツアーガイドは達木さんという若い男性の方ので、参加者を楽しませたいという心ひしひしとが伝わってきました。また、こちらの要望を理解し質問に何でも答えてくれるというとてもプロ意識の高い素晴らしい方でした。
ツアー内容以外にも沖縄料理の美味しい店や、オススメのお土産なども教えてもらいお得な気分になれました。
次回もぜひ達木さんにガイドをお願いしたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

The trekking guide was very kind, and both my daughter, who lacks confidence in her athletic abilities, and I had a great time! During snorkeling, we were able to see a sea turtle in its feeding area, and everyone was very excited. It became a wonderful memory!

トレッキングはガイドさんも親切で、運動神経に自信がない娘と私もとても楽しめました！シュノーケルはウミガメの捕食場面が見られてみんな大興奮でした。いい思い出になりました！

I spent the whole day snorkeling and canoeing at the sea, as well as trekking, and I had a wonderful time! The guide was very friendly and attentive, which made me feel safe and enjoy the experience. The trivia and guidance during the trekking were easy to understand and interesting, and I’m glad I chose this place. I also appreciated that they happily took photos for me, and the service of tea, coffee, and snacks was very soothing. Next time, I would like to not only join the tour but also stay here.

丸一日、海へシュノーケリングとカヌー、トレッキングとお世話になりました！
ガイドさんがすごくフレンドリーで親身な対応で安心して楽しめました！
トレッキング中の豆知識やガイドも分かりやすく面白くてここを選んで良かったと思います。
また写真を快く撮って貰ったり、紅茶やコーヒー、お菓子のサービスもあり癒されました。
次はツアーだけでなく、ここで宿泊もしてみたいと思います。

The morning snorkeling was disappointing due to bad weather, but the afternoon canoeing and trekking in the rain was full of jungle exploration vibes. The waterfall's water volume was reportedly four times its usual amount, which was incredibly impressive. Our guide, Aya, was knowledgeable like a botanist and taught us a lot about the vegetation of Iriomote Island.

午前中のシューノケリングは、天候が悪くて残念でしたが、その分雨模様の中午後のカヌー＆トレッキングはジャングル探検感満載でした。
滝の水量も普段の４倍だそうで、凄い迫力でした。ガイドの彩さんは植物学者のような博学で、西表島の植生について詳しく教えて貰いました。

Since a typhoon was approaching, I thought the scenery might not be great, but at the cape and Daishi Forest Park, we were able to enjoy clear weather and have a wonderful experience.

I was focused on trekking, so it was a good decision to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. For my first trekking experience, I chose the 60-minute course. Surrounded by nature, I was able to move my body a lot!

After that, we had three hours at the aquarium, which was enough time to explore thoroughly. Thank you to the tour guide and the bus driver for your hard work during the long hours. Thank you very much.

台風が近づいてた中での参加だったので、あまり景色は良くないんだろうな～と思いつつでしたが、岬や大石林山では晴れてのびのびと体験することができました。

トレッキングが目当てだったので、動きやすい服装や靴で行って正解でした。
初めてのトレッキングは60分コースを選びました。自然に囲まれながら、たくさん身体を動かせました！

その後の水族園も三時間時間を取ってくれてたので充分回ることができました。
添乗員さん、バスの運転手さん、長時間お疲れ様でした。ありがとうございました。

I couldn't forget the starry sky I saw during my last visit to Ishigaki Island, so for my second trip, I searched online to see that beautiful starry sky again and booked this starry sky cruise. I was really looking forward to the stars, but unfortunately, a typhoon was approaching, which made me anxious.

The day before, a female staff member called to confirm the meeting time, and I asked if it was still okay with the typhoon approaching. She reassured me, saying, "Even though a typhoon is approaching, it's in Naha, so Ishigaki is fine." I felt relieved as the day arrived.

As the evening approached, the wind started to pick up, and although it wasn't raining, there were some clouds, making me worry about whether we would be able to see the stars. When it was time to gather, I went to the store, and everything went smoothly for departure. As amateurs, we couldn't see anything at the port, but I hoped we would be able to see the stars once we set sail.

However, after moving for a while, we found that there were many Japan Coast Guard boats due to the approaching typhoon, and since we hadn't gone far from the port, the island's lights were still visible, and we could only see about three stars. The sky looked no different from what we could see from the island, and anyone with experience would know that you wouldn't be able to see stars just by going out to sea.

Since we couldn't see any stars at all, the guide seemed to be stalling with trivial chatter. I felt that 7,000 yen was way too expensive for this, and it was just frustrating. I heard that if it wasn't raining, the cruise wouldn't be canceled. If the weather looks bad, I recommend canceling early without hesitation.

The boat was impressive, so it might be worth it if the weather is good. Unfortunately, my last night in Ishigaki Island was ruined.

前回石垣島に来た時に見た星空が忘れられず、今回2回目の石垣島旅行でもう一度あの満点の星空が見たくてネットで探し、こちらの星空クルーズを予約しました。
1番楽しみにしていた星空でしたがあいにく台風が近づいており不安に思っていました。
前日スタッフの女性から集合時間等の確認の電話が入ったので、台風が近づいていますが大丈夫ですか？と伺った所、 「台風が近づいているといっても那覇の方なので石垣は大丈夫ですよ」との事。安心して当日を迎えました。
夕方につれて風が強くなってきており、雨は降ってなかったものの少々雲があり、星が見えるのか心配していました。
集合時間になり店舗へ伺うと何事もなく出発になりました。こちらも素人の為港では全く見えないけれど出航すれば見えるのかと思い期待して船に乗り込みました。
しかし、しばらく動いたものの台風前で海上保安庁の船も多く海上に出ており、港からもさほど離れていない為島の光もあり、3つ程しか星は見えませんでした。
島から見る空と全然変わらず、経験者であれば海に出た所で星が見えない事など分かりきっているはずです。
全く星が見えないのでガイドの方は時間稼ぎなのかどうでもいい雑談ばかり。これで7000円は高すぎてただただ腹立たしかったです。
聞くと雨が降らないと中止にならないとの事。天気が悪そうであれば迷わず早めのキャンセルをオススメします。
船は立派だったので天気が良ければ良いのかもしれません。

石垣島旅行最後の夜が台無しでした。

I went to Ishigaki Island with my girlfriend for the first time, and since we wanted to do something island-like, we signed up for this tour. We were very satisfied as we enjoyed the sea, rivers, and waterfalls. Thanks to the owner who guided us during snorkeling, we were able to see a lot of fish. In the afternoon, we enjoyed canoeing and trekking, and it truly felt like a real jungle cruise. The guide was a friendly woman, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

初めて彼女と石垣島にいったのですが、どうせなら島らしいことをしようと、このツアーに申し込みました。海も川も滝も楽しめて大満足でした。シュノーケルの際は、オーナーに案内していただいたおかげで沢山の魚が観れました。午後は、カヌーやトレッキングを楽しみましたが、まさにリアルジャングルクルーズの気分でした。ガイドさんも気さくな女性でとても良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
