All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

It was somewhat suspiciously cloudy before departure, and once we got out to sea, we were soaked by a downpour. They had provided raincoats, and we went inside, but we didn't know how to follow the guidance, which was not good.

After the rain stopped, we went outside, but we couldn't hear the explanation about the stars, and depending on the location, we couldn't see anything at all. I felt that the price of 5,000 yen was not worth it. If it rains, there should be some options available, like a partial refund or something.

The next day's mangrove cruise was very affordable, and the guide was a professional.

After all, it seems like a tour that a diving shop is doing on the side, but considering the price, they either need to provide a professional-level guide or something else, otherwise travelers will feel disappointed.

出航まえからややあやしい曇り、海へでたらスコールでびしょびしょに。
かっぱも用意されていたし、室内へもはいりましたが、誘導もわからず、よくなくて。

雨があがってそとへでましたが、
星の説明もきこえないし、場所によりまったくみえないし、
5000円という値段に見合ってないと思いました。
雨が降ったら多少なにかオプションがあるとか、半額かえすとか、なにかないと。

次の日のマングローブクルーズは格安でガイドさんはプロでした。

所詮ダイビングショップが片手間にやっているツアーなのだろうけど
値段を考えるか、またはプロなみにガイドするとかしないと旅行者が残念な気持ちになります

I have visited the Churaumi Aquarium several times on tours, but I'm glad I made it to Kunigami Village. The emotion I felt when I saw Yoron Island from Cape Hedo was incredible, and especially, the Great Stone Forest was magnificent. If I had a bit more time, I would have loved to walk the Giant Rocks and Stone Forest course. While circling the Rock of Rebirth three times, I wished to be born as a human again. The "Picasso" rock was particularly interesting, as it looked like the "Devil Rock" from certain angles! There were various fascinating rocks like the Elephant Parent and Child Rock and the Cat Rock, and the view of the ocean from the Churaumi Observatory was the best. I thought that if we had a little more time to explore the Great Stone Forest, we could have enjoyed the sightseeing even more. As a flower lover, I was thrilled to take photos of the papaya flowers, which I can't see on the main island of Kyushu.

At the Okichan Theater in the Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu Town, I was healed by the adorable dolphin show, laughing many times and returning to my childhood. Being here, both young and old felt like there wasn't enough time, and before I knew it, it was time to gather, leaving me with a sense of regret as I boarded the bus. The purple sweet potato tart at the snack shop was the best, and the fresh tart that can only be eaten here left a lasting memory of its delicious taste.

This time, we older travelers had a great time, so I think it would be wonderful if this tour plan could be promoted to more people. It would be good to have more visibility online to catch the attention of older travelers.

何度か美ら海水族館までツアーで来てましたが国頭村まで来て良かったです。辺戸岬から与論島を見た時の感動、特に大石林山は素晴らしくもう少し時間があれば１コ－スの巨岩-石林感動コ－スも歩きたかったですね。生まれ変わりの岩など３回回りながら次も人間に生まれたいと願いつつ楽しみ『ピカソ』岩は特に面白く見る方向で『悪魔岩』に！象の親子岩、猫岩等色々な面白い岩や美ら海展望台から見る海原は最高で大石林山周遊時間をもう少し増やしたら観光ももっと楽しめたかなと思い、九州本土では見れ無いパパイヤの花等花好きの私はルンルンで写真撮影。本部町の美ら海水族館のオキちゃん劇場では可愛いイルカショーに心癒され何度も大笑いし童心に帰りました。此処に居ると老いも若きも時間が足りないと駆け足でみて回りあっと言う間に集合時間となり後ろ髪引かれる思いでバスに乗り込むことに。立ち寄りのお菓子御殿での紫芋タルト此処でしか食べられない生タルトは最高に美味しく思い出に残る味でした。
今回私達年配者も充分楽しめましたので今回のツアープランを沢山の方々にももっとアピールされたら良いのではと思います。もっと年配者の目に止まるようにネットでもされたら良いでしょう。

Kayaking in the gentle flow, the views from above the waterfall and from below the waterfall were all amazing, and I had the best time.

Additionally, the staff who accompanied us on the tour were very polite and provided excellent service.

If I have the chance to go to Iriomote Island again, this will definitely be a tour I want to participate in.

穏やかな流れの中のカヤック、
滝の上から眺める景色、滝の下から眺める景色、
全てが最高で最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

また、ツアーで同行してくれたスタッフの方がとても丁寧で素晴らしい対応でした。

また西表島に行くことがあったら、必ず参加したいツアーになります。

It was a really nice experience and very romantic and tranquil. Star gazing was really fun. As person, who lives in a big city in Europe, I don't get the chance to see so many stars. Guide was very friendly and savvy.
No physically fitness required.

I experienced this with a friend, and the guide provided thorough explanations, making it a truly enjoyable day! We got to do activities like canoeing, waterfall play, and cave exploration—things we had never experienced before! It was really fun. Thank you so much!

友達と二人で体験させていただいたのですが、ガイドの方が丁寧に説明してくださり本当に楽しい1日になりました‼︎
カヌーに滝遊び、洞窟体験と今まで経験したことのない遊びをいっぱいさせていただきました‼︎
本当に楽しかったです♪ありがとうございました♪

We ascended to a certain altitude, and then just hovered in place, looking out at the sea. Since we went up into the sky, I wanted to fly around; just staying in one spot feels too lonely. (If there are cost issues, I'm willing to pay more for a little aerial stroll to the right and left.) Additionally, if two people are flying together, I would like us to face each other so we can see each other's faces for photos.

Just hovering isn't very interesting.

一定の距離まで上昇して、その後は、その場でホバリングで海の方を見るだけの流れでした。
折角、空に上がったのだから、飛行してほしい、一定の位置でただ止まっているのではさびしすぎます。
（料金的な問題があるのであれば、更に支払うので、右に左に空中散歩をしたいです）
更に、２人で空へ飛んだ場合はお互いの撮影ができるように、向かい合いわせに顔が見えるようにしてほしい。

ホバリングをされるだけでは面白くありません。

I visited Iriomote Island for my graduation trip. Since I was there, I wanted to have an experience that I couldn't easily have elsewhere, so I chose this activity. On the day of the trip, we couldn't go snorkeling due to the waves, but we were able to switch to cave exploration, which left me very satisfied. The guide was also very kind, and I got along well with the other participants, which I think is one of the attractions of the experience. We paddled canoes, trekked towards a waterfall, and explored caves, making it a truly packed and fantastic graduation trip. I hope to go back someday for a snorkeling redo! (laughs)

卒業旅行で西表島を訪れました。
せっかく来たなら、なかなかできないような体験をしたいと思い、このアクティビティを選択。
当日波の影響でシュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、洞窟探検に変更していただくことができ、大満足でした。
また、ガイドの方もとても親切でしたし、一緒に行動した他の参加者の方とも仲良くなれたので、そこも魅力の一つかと思います。
カヌーを漕いだり、滝を目指してトレッキングをしたり、洞窟に行ったりと、本当に盛りだくさんで最高の卒業旅行になりました。
いつかまたシュノーケリングのリベンジをしに行きたいと思います！(笑)

Unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, so I could hardly see any stars. However, the tour was interesting because of the way we boarded the boat! Instead of sitting in seats, we perched on the bow, with our legs hanging off, and even lay down. Although I couldn't see the stars, I enjoyed the unique sounds of the waves and the wind. 😊

参加した日は残念ながらの曇り空だったため、星はほとんど見えませんでした。ただ、このツアーは船の乗り方がおもしろかったです！
座席には座らず、船の先端部分に腰をかけて、足を投げ出して座ったり、寝そべったりしました。
星は見えませんでしたが、ひと味違った波の音と風を味わいました(^-^)

I forgot to post this, but it's been a while... We canoed close to the waterfall and then trekked to the waterfall! We played in the water at the waterfall and had rice balls nearby. In the afternoon, we explored three caves! The trekking path was harder than I expected, but the excitement when we reached the waterfall was immense. The caves were natural, each with a different character, and there were some very large stalactites, as well as countless icicle-like formations on the ceiling that sparkled when light was shone on them. It was also fun to hear the guide talk about the mangroves and the flora and fauna of the island. I was very satisfied with the full day of activities. It was a tour that made me want to participate again. (I have the images saved on my computer, but I couldn't upload them successfully.)
Now that I can upload images, I have done so!

投稿を忘れておりだいぶたっておりますが・・・滝の近くまでカヌーで進み、その後、滝までトレッキング！滝で水遊び、周辺でおにぎりを食べました。午後から３つの洞窟を探検しました！トレッキングの道は思っていたよりハードめでしたが、その分、滝に到達したときは感激が大きかったです。洞窟は自然のままの洞窟で、それぞれ表情が違い、鍾乳石は、とても大きいものがあったり、天井に無数のつららがあったり、光を当てると粒子がきらきらしていました。ガイドさんがマングローブなど動植物や島のお話をしてくれたのも楽しかったです。１日盛りだくさんの内容で満足できました。また、参加したいと思えるツアーでした。（画像をパソコンに取り込んでありますがうまくアップロードできなかったです。）
画像がアップできるようになったのでアップしました！

I was able to see many fish while snorkeling! The guide was friendly during the canoeing and trekking, teaching us various things, and it was really fun. They also took many photos at the waterfall and showed us great spots! It was a fulfilling day that went by in no time.

ｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞでは、たくさんの魚が見れました☆
ｶﾇｰ、ﾄﾚｯｷﾝｸﾞでは、ｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんも親しみやすく、色々なことを教えてくださり、とっても楽しかったです♪滝でもたくさん写真を撮ってくださったり、ィィﾎﾟｲﾝﾄも教えてくれました！！
充実した1日で、あっという間でした(^-^)

I was moved by my first visit to Iriomote Island.
We rode canoes and aimed for the Pinai Sara Falls on a trekking adventure.
Since the trail is quite challenging, I think the kids (ages 13 and 9) will need two bottles of water each for the August tour.
However, the waterfall was incredibly refreshing, and the homemade lunch was very delicious, making all the fatigue disappear.

The cave exploration in the afternoon was also quite something!
I was amazed at how we could pass through such places, and the world inside the cave was completely devoid of light.
It got pretty muddy, but on the contrary, we had a blast.
(A helmet is a must!)

I actually wanted to give a maximum rating, but there were quite a few fingers in the photos taken by the guide, and it was hard to hear the explanations towards the back, so I rated it ★★★★.
The tour itself was flawless.

The Ishigaki Island lizards were incredibly beautiful! ♥

初めての西表島に感動しました。
カヌーに乗って、トレッキングでピナイサーラの滝を目指します。
なかなかの道なので８月のツアーでは子供たち（１３歳・９歳）の飲料水は２本づつ必要かと。
ただ、滝の水はとても気持ち良く、手作りのランチもとてもおいしく、疲れも吹っ飛びます。

午後からの洞窟めぐりもなかなかのモノ！
こんな所通れるの～とか、洞窟の中で光の全くない世界。
結構ドロドロになりますが、逆に思い切り楽しめました。
（ヘルメットは必須です）

本当は評価マックスにしたかったのですが、ガイドさんに撮ってもらった写真に結構指が入っていたのと、説明が後ろの方まで聞き取りにくかったので★★★★でした。
ツアー自体は文句なしです。

石垣島トカゲ、すっごくきれいでした♥

My 8-year-old and 6-year-old children participated. Until now, whenever we traveled to Okinawa, we only went to the beach, so this time we wanted to try something a little different and decided to sign up for this experience, which turned out to be a great decision.

We were blessed with good weather, and the view of the Okinawa sea from the sky became a wonderful memory for the children. This time, only the kids participated, but next time, we parents definitely want to join as well.

８歳と６歳の子供が利用しました。
今まで沖縄に旅行に来たら海ばかりに行っていたので、
今回はちょっといつもと違う体験をと思いこちらに申し込んだところ、
大正解でした。

天候にも恵まれ、空から見る沖縄の海は子供にとって大変いい思い出
になったとのことでした。
今回は子供のみの参加でしたが、次回は私たち親も是非参加したいと
思います。

This activity was really fun. Although we got lost trying to find the shop, the providers were ok about it and offered to give us a ride to the new Rycom mall afterwards.

My sister and I took a trip to Okinawa. I challenged Paraglider which I always wanted to try (^O^)／After briefing, we flied right away. I wasn't scared at all, just approach and run a little! In my case, I was floating just with 2 steps lol. It was so so wonderful, I felt like a bird. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy but the ocean was so beautiful and I was speechless at the scenery. I want to try it in another place!

A trip to Okinawa with my sister. We finally challenged ourselves to try paragliding, something I had wanted to do for a long time! After a brief explanation, we took off right away. It wasn't scary at all; you just need a little run-up! In my case, I was already floating after just two steps, haha. It was absolutely amazing, and I felt like a bird. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the ocean was still incredibly beautiful, and the scenery was indescribably stunning. I want to do it again in a different location!

姉妹で行った沖縄旅。ずっとしてみたかったパラグライダーに挑戦(^O^)／簡単な説明のあと、すぐに飛びました。全く怖くなく少し助走するだけ！私の場合は２歩くらいでもう浮いてました笑 もうそれはそれは最高で、鳥になった気分でした。あいにく曇りでしたが、それでも海はめっちゃ綺麗で景色が何とも言えない美しさ。また場所を変えてやりたい！

I experienced it as my mother recommended, and it was an amazing experience. My mother has a fear of heights, so I did it in her place, but it didn't feel high at all. It's hard to put into words... You really need to experience this in person.

母親に勧められるがまま体験しましたが…
すごい体験ができました
母は高所恐怖症だったので
私が代わりに体験しましたが
高所って感じが全くしない
言葉では言い表せない…
これは現地で体験してみてください

I was simply amazed by the experience of being surrounded by nature while canoeing. The water at the waterfall was a bit cold on May 1st, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing in the water. The caves were more impressive than I expected, and I think this tour is a great deal.

カヌーでは自然に囲まれ初めての体験にただただ感動しました。滝壺では5/1で少し冷たいですが、思いっきり水遊びを楽しめました。洞窟も思った以上に迫力満点で、このツアーはお得だと思います。

I participated with a friend, and the view from the top of the waterfall was truly amazing. The unique plants of Iriomote made it feel almost foreign, as if I were in another country.

友人と二人で参加しましたが滝の上まで上がったときの景色が本当に素晴らしかったです。西表ならではの植物など「日本？？」と思うくらい異国な感じがしました．

I have traveled to Okinawa many times but this "powered paraglider" was a first for me.
With a motor behind your back, the moment you take off from the earth to fly over the sea is really amazing.
The view from so high above overlooking the beautiful Okinawan sea is amazing. If I am lucky enough to return to Okinawa next year, I want to do this again.

Marine sports often takes up like half a day and it's a hassle to get changed...
But you can do this paragliding in your own clothes and because you don't have to go off-shore, you can have a great experience without spending a lot of time! I highly recommend you to try.

I had a fantastic time! I was a bit worried, but it was a relief to ride with a professional. I enjoyed myself thoroughly seeing the sea from above, not just in the water.

<Translated by Veltra.com>

There was no time to feel nervous with the speedy start, and I didn't feel scared at all thanks to the relaxed Okinawan dialect. In no time, we were around 200 meters above ground. The view was breathtaking, to the point where I felt I could die happy.

ドキドキしている暇すらないスピーディなスタートと
ゆる～い沖縄の方言で怖さを感じる事はありませんでした。あっという間に地上200m前後へ。
景色は死んでも良いと思う程の絶景でした。

I visited in mid-June, and it was great that the rain from the previous day had stopped and the weather was nice.
The view from above the waterfall was amazing!
There were many reptiles and insects along the way, and it was really nice to see things that I don't usually get to see.
After walking in the heat, the plunge pool at the waterfall felt really refreshing!
I definitely want to visit again.

６月の中旬に訪れたんですが、前日からの雨も止んで天候もよくて良かったです。
滝の上の景色も最高でした☆
途中で爬虫類や昆虫が多くいますが普段見れない物を見ることができるのとても良かったです
。
暑い中、歩いた後の滝壺へのだいぶは本当に気持ちがよかったです！
ぜひまた訪れてみたいと思いました

I participated with my younger brother! It was my first time paragliding, and I had a scary image of accidents, but it was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! ☆

弟と二人で参加しました！
パラグライダー初めてで、事故とか怖いというイメージでしたが最高でした！
また絶対やりたいです☆

Since I saw footage of a motorized paraglider on TV, I've always dreamed of flying along a beautiful coastline. No special preparation is needed, and it's easy to participate.

In my personal opinion, the flying altitude was higher than I had imagined, and perhaps because it's a minor activity, the price is high, so I give it 4 stars.

テレビでモーターパラグライダーで撮影された映像をみて以来、きれいな海岸線沿いを飛ぶのがずっと夢でした。特別な準備も不要ですし、気軽に参加できます。
個人的な意見ですが、飛行高度が想像していたよりも高かった事と、マイナーゆえか値段が高いので☆４です。

I had an incredibly great time!! I was a little anxious, but I felt reassured because I could ride with a professional. It was so much fun to enjoy it from above rather than from the water!!!!

すごくすごくいい時間が過ごせました！！少し不安もあったのですが、プロの方と一緒に乗ることができるため安心でした。海の中からではなく、上から楽しむことができ、非常に楽しかったです！！！！

Takeoff and landing were completely worry-free, and we smoothly ascended into the sky. The 360-degree aerial journey allowed us to see the roundness of the horizon and the various colors of the sea— it was fantastic.

離陸、着陸に何の不安もなく、スッと飛び上がり、３６０度空の旅、水平線の円さが見られ、海の色々な色の表情、最高でした。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki. I was picked up at Uehara Port, and there were four of us traveling alone, including myself. Since it was during the rainy season, I was prepared for rain, but it turned out to be sunny! Our guide took us to two snorkeling points, and among them, Barasu Island was amazing. There seemed to be turtles as well, but I got so caught up in taking photos that I ended up feeling seasick and had to give up in the second half. It would be better to have an underwater camera.

In the afternoon, we headed for a waterfall with canoeing and trekking. Our guide was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island. I heard that at Iriomote Island Monsoon, where we were taken care of, you can also stay overnight, so next time I want to enjoy Iriomote Island with an overnight stay.

石垣から日帰りで参加しました。
上原港でピックアップで、女性一人旅の方が自分含め4人いらっしゃいました。梅雨時でしたので雨を覚悟していましたが晴れました！ガイドさんに二つのシュノーケルポイントに案内して頂き、その中でもバラス島は素晴らしかったです。亀もいたみたいですが、写真を撮るのに夢中になってしまい、後半酔ってギブアップしてしまいました。水中カメラはあった方が良いです。
午後からは滝を目指してカヌーとトレッキングです。ガイドさんは西表島の動植物にも詳しく勉強されていました。お世話になった西表島モンスーンさんでは宿泊もできるそうなので次回は泊まりで西表島を堪能したいです。

It was very refreshing to experience negative ions and forest bathing. Canoeing was a lot of fun, and the trekking was at a perfect distance.

Although we couldn't go to the turtle point due to rough seas, we were able to swim very close to sea turtles around Baras Island. It was healing. I was very satisfied! Thank you for your hospitality.

マイナスイオンや森林浴ができて、とても清々しかったです。
カヌーもとても楽しかったし、トレッキングも程良い距離でよかったです。

海が荒れてウミガメポイントには行けなかったのですが、バラス島周辺でもウミガメととても近くで泳げました。癒されました。
大満足でした！
お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated alone, but I had a great time. First, we spent about an hour canoeing, followed by an hour of trekking. Along the way, we received explanations about the plants and animals. The top of the waterfall is a bit scary, but the view is amazing. We had lunch while enjoying the stunning scenery at the top of the waterfall! On the way back, we went down to the base of the waterfall for tea time. After that, we returned by canoe. I highly recommend this tour.

一人で参加しましたが、楽しめました。
まずカヌー１時間程度、その後トレッキングで１時間ほど。
途中、植物や動物の説明を受けられます。滝の上はちょっと
怖いけど景色が素晴らしいです。滝の上で絶景を眺めながら昼ごはん！
帰りは下におりて滝つぼでティータイム。その後カヌーで帰ってきます。
お勧めのツアーです。

Trekking and canoeing were both my first experiences. I was filled with anxiety, but the staff explained everything clearly, and even as a beginner, I was able to manage it smoothly. I definitely want to bring my children next time. The trekking path was steeper than I expected. I was already feeling muscle pain on the way back. I thought it would be manageable, but it might be tougher than I anticipated. It was challenging for someone like me who lacks stamina. However, I saw children around three years old participating, so I think it's suitable for small kids as well.

トレッキングもカヌーも初体験。
不安で一杯でしたが、
担当の方がわかりやすく教えてくれて、初心者の私でもすんなりこなすことが出来ました。
次はぜひ子供達も連れて来たいと思いました。
トレッキングは思ったよりも険しい道。
帰り道ですでに筋肉痛でした。
これなら〜っと思って参加しましたが、
思っている以上にキツイかもしれません。
体力のない私はきつかったです。
ですが、3歳くらいかな？
そのくらいの子供でも出来ていたので、小さなお子様でも大丈夫だと思います。
