All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

At the Blue Cave, the tide wasn't too high, so we were able to take a lot of photos both inside and outside the cave! Also, the guide's explanations were thorough, which made the experience enjoyable!

青の洞窟では、潮の高さがあまり高くなかったので、洞窟内、外両方でたくさん写真を撮っていただきました！
また、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で楽しむことができました！

This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and it was my first time snorkeling. The guide was very reliable, which made me feel at ease, and I had a great time on the tour! Additionally, I learned a lot about various fish, making it a very satisfying experience! The coral was beautiful, and I got to see many different fish, which was amazing! 😁

今回は青の洞窟のシュノーケルツアー参加さして頂いたんですけど、初めてのシュノーケルで、ガイドさんがとても頼れる人で安心感があり楽しくツアーできました！
それにいろんな魚の知識を教えてもらい大満足のツアーになりました！
珊瑚もとても綺麗でいろんな魚もみれて最高でした😁

I was looking for a trekking tour to Pinai Sara Falls that is accessible for those over 65, and I joined this one. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed kayaking on the calm Hinai River and trekking through the forests of Iriomote Island, eventually arriving at the magnificent basin of Pinai Sara Falls. It was hot, so I felt like a child again and swam in the basin.

I participated alone, but the guide took photos during kayaking and trekking and sent them to me, which was very helpful since I couldn't take pictures while focusing on paddling. The shop has showers and changing rooms, so you can change and enjoy sightseeing in the afternoon as well.

65歳以上でも参加できるピナイサーラの滝のトレッキングツアーを探していてこちらに参加しました。天候にも恵まれ静かなヒナイ川のカヤックと西表島の森のトレッキングを楽しみながら豪快なピナイサーラの滝壺に到着。暑かったこともあり童心に戻って滝壺で泳ぎました。
一人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんがカヤックやトレッキング中の写真を撮って送ってくださったので助かりました（漕ぐのに集中して写真がとれない）。
ショップにはシャワーと更衣室あるので着替えて午後からの観光も楽しめます。

Among the many tours available for those up to 65 years old, this tour allowed me, at 66, to kayak to Ida Beach and also go snorkeling. Both kayaking and snorkeling were my first experiences, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, which made me feel at ease.

Ida Beach is beautiful, but the surrounding emerald green sea is truly breathtaking. The experience of kayaking through it was the best.

Thank you for this precious experience and the wonderful emotions.

６５歳までのツアーが多い中、このツアーでは６６歳の私でもイダの浜までカヤックで行けてシュノーケリングもできました。カヤックもシュノーケリングも初体験ですがガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれて安心です。
イダの浜も綺麗ですが、その周囲のエメラルドグリーンの海は感動です。その中をカヤックで進む体験は最高でした。
貴重な経験と感動、ありがとうございました。

The Sagarihana tour has a strict age limit of 65, but I was able to participate even though I am over that age.

We started by lowering the kayaks to the river in the morning glow and began paddling. Even as a beginner, I felt at ease because the guide carefully taught us how to paddle.

The guide took us to the best spot on the river that day, allowing us to fully enjoy the blooming Sagarihana and the petals gently falling.

I would love to join again next year.

６５歳制限の多いサガリバナツアーですが、このツアーでは６５歳を超えた私でも参加できました。
朝焼けの中、カヤックを川まで降ろし漕ぎ始めます。初めてでもガイドさんが丁寧にこぎ方を教えてくださるので安心です。
ガイドさんがその日最高の川に案内してくれるので、満開のサガリバナ、ぽたぽた落ちるサガリバナを満喫できました。
また来年も参加したいと思います。

Climbing up to the top of the waterfall was quite tough, but the view from the top was amazing!

After that, I relaxed by the base of the waterfall, and the cold water helped refresh me and relieve my fatigue!

滝上まで登るのはかなりキツかったですが、滝上からの景色は最高でした！

その後、滝ツボでのんびり過ごしましたから、水も冷たく疲れが取れました！

Two of us participated! The staff was very kind and provided transportation close to the hotel! During the canoeing, they taught us about constellations and shared information about the island, making it a great experience✨ I'm glad I participated! I recommend it to anyone who is unsure!!

女2人で参加しました！
ホテルの近くまで送迎してくれてスタッフの方もとても親切でした！
カヌー中も星座を教えてくれたり、島のことをし教えてくれたりといい経験になりました✨参加してよかったです！悩んでる方はおすすめです！！

I was supposed to arrive at the meeting point 40 minutes early, but the scheduled bus kept getting delayed, and I ended up being 10 minutes late. As soon as I realized I would be late, I contacted them to inform them of my delay, and I was touched by their kindness and concern for me during that time.

The kayaking experience was wonderful, starting with practice in the mangroves. The water and wind felt great, and it was enjoyable to see the unique plants and creatures of Okinawa. Watching the sunset over the ocean was breathtaking, with the strong orange light of the sun sinking just above the horizon, and the sky turning a soft pink afterward was nostalgic and beautiful.

It was also great that there was nothing obstructing the view since we were on the ocean. The instructor was very kind, and even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy myself throughout the experience! Thank you very much!

集合時間の40分前に現地に到着するはずが、予定のバスが進行中にもどんどん遅れ結局集合時間を10分遅刻してしまいました。
遅れる事がわかってからすぐ問い合わせから遅刻の旨を連絡したのですが、その時もこちらのことを沢山お気遣いくださり申し訳ないながら優しさに感動しました。
カヤックの体験はマングローブでの練習から水も風も気持ちが良く、沖縄ならではの植物や生物を見るのも楽しかったです。
海でサンセットは地平線ギリギリに沈んでいく太陽のオレンジ色の力強い光がとても美しく、また沈んだ後に薄らピンク色になる空がノスタルジックで素敵でした。
海で見るからこそ遮るものがない事が、また良かったです。
教えてくださる先生もとても親切で1人での参加でしたが始終楽しむことができました！
ありがとうございました！

This time, we did canoeing and trekking in the morning, followed by snorkeling in the afternoon. It seems that the order is determined by the conditions at the time.

Well, canoeing through the mangroves was fun, especially with the nice weather. The trek to the waterfall felt a bit tough for my out-of-shape body lately. However, cooling down in the waterfall and soaking in the negative ions from the forest charged my energy! After a rice ball lunch, we retraced our steps back.

We returned to the base before heading out for snorkeling. Although we set off on a small boat, Barasu Island did not appear. We started snorkeling without much explanation at the spot. The underwater conditions were good, and the visibility was excellent.

Next, we moved to the sea turtle spot for a rendezvous. Many turtles were napping, but I was able to swim with a few, so the mission was a success. We then returned to the island. Wait, where was Barasu Island?

今回はAMカヌー＆トレッキング、PMシュノーケリングという順番だった。その時のコンディション等で決定してるらしい。
さて、マングローブでのカヌー漕ぎは天気も良く楽しかった。滝までのトレッキングは運動不足の身体にはちとキツくも感じた今日此の頃＿|￣|○　滝壺でのクールダウンと森からのマイナスイオンでパワーチャージ(*´ω｀*)
おにぎりランチ後に来た道を戻る感じ。
一度ベースに戻ってからシュノーケリングへ。
小型ボートで沖へ出発したもののバラス島は現れず。スポットでは特に説明もなくそのままシュノーケリング開始。海中のコンディションは良好で透明度も上々。
次にウミガメスポットへ移動してランデブー。昼寝中の個体が多かったけど何匹かと一緒に泳げたのでミッション成功。
そのまま帰島。あれ？バラス島は？？

The snorkeling was of course fun, and the sea was beautiful. Sakura, who was in charge, not only explained about the fish and the blue cave but also shared various recommendations for restaurants, making the travel time enjoyable as well!

シュノーケルはもちろん楽しかったし、海も綺麗でした。担当してくださったさくらさんは魚や青の洞窟の説明だけでなく、おすすめのご飯屋さんなど色々な話をしてくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせたのがよかったです！

This tour had four groups, and everyone except us was foreign. Everyone was kind, and we had a very enjoyable experience. The sunset was breathtaking. However, it does require physical stamina.

今回のツアーの参加者は4組で
自分達以外は外人さんでした。
皆さん優しくてとても楽しく体験できました。夕陽は絶景です。
でも体力が必要です。

This time, we participated as a family of four with our two adult children. It was our first time canoeing, but since there were no waves, we were able to go at a leisurely pace. The woman who guided us was friendly and kind, sharing various trivia that was educational. Thank you for the photos as well. I'm glad we participated.

今回、成人した子供２人と、夫婦の４人で参加をさせて頂きました。初めてのカヌーでしたが、波がないため、のんびり進めました。案内してくださった女性の方は、気さくで優しく、色々な雑学もして頂き、勉強になりました。写真も、ありがとうございました。参加をして良かったです。

The weather was nice, the Sagari-bana flowers were beautiful, and we were fortunate to have a great guide. It was the best tour! We were able to see the scenery as described in the brochure, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fragrance of the flowers. I'm very satisfied! Thank you!

天気も良く、サガリバナもキレイで、ガイドさんにも恵まれ、最高のツアーでした
パンフレットにあるような景色も見れましたし、花の香りも堪能出来て大満足です！
ありがとうございました！

I was worried about my physical stamina since I'm in my 50s, but I had a great time. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but our guide, A-chan, was searching hard for them. I was very satisfied to see Nemo and beautiful fish. Canoeing was fun, and the Pumpkin Cave was mystical.

50代なので体力的に心配でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
残念ながら海亀には会えませんでしたが、ガイドのあーちゃんが一生懸命探してくれていました。
ニモやキレイな魚も見られて大満足です。
カヌーも楽しく、パンプキン鍾乳洞も神秘的でした。

It was my first time doing both canoeing and visiting a limestone cave, but the explanations about canoeing were clear and detailed, which made me feel at ease to participate. During the tour, there were explanations about the limestone cave and Miyako Island, and I was able to experience everything without getting bored. It became the best memory for me. Thank you very much!

カヌーも鍾乳洞も初めてでしたが、カヌーの説明など、わかりやすく細やかにしてくださったので安心して参加できました。
ツアー中には、鍾乳洞や宮古島の説明があり、飽きる時間なく体験でき、最高の思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!

天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。
ツアーの参加した他の方々とも雰囲気よく時間過ごせて、本当に素敵な体験になりました。ありがとうございました！

I had the pleasure of being guided by Takurou-san during the Pumpkin Cave tour and SUP, where I experienced the beautiful scenery and mystical caves of Miyako Island. Throughout the tour, he introduced us to various plants and creatures and recommended some delicious restaurants. He was very friendly, and we had a wonderful time! We also took a lot of photos, making our honeymoon an unforgettable memory!

During snorkeling, we were guided by Bagel-san, and we encountered many fish. He provided us with thorough and kind instructions, allowing us to see the breathtaking underwater scenery that we wouldn't normally experience. I was so happy when I got to take a photo with Nemo! Opportunities to fully enjoy the beautiful sea of Miyako Island for an entire day are rare, so I will definitely participate again when I visit Miyako Island in the future!

Thank you, Takurou-san and Bagel-san, for the wonderful memories!

パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーとSUPではガイドのたくろうさんに案内していただき、宮古島の素敵な景色と神秘的な鍾乳洞を体験することができました。ツアー中には、植物・生物の紹介や美味しいご飯屋さんも教えていただき、とてもフレンドリーに接してもらい楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました！写真もたくさん撮っていただき、私たちのハネムーンが最高の思い出となりました！
シュノーケリングではバゲルさんに案内していただき、たくさんの魚に出会うことができました。不慣れな私たちに丁寧かつ親切にレクチャーしてくださり、日常では味わえない海の中の景色を目に焼きつけることができました。二モと一緒に写真を撮れた時はとても嬉しかったです！丸1日宮古島の素敵な海を満喫できる機会はなかなかないので、いつかまた宮古島を訪れた際にはぜひ参加させていただきます！
たくろうさん、バゲルさん楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！！

A couple, aged 63 and 62, chose Iriomote Island for their final adventure. They have experienced canoeing over the past five years in places like the Shimanto River and Miyako Island, as well as hiking on Mount Fuji and Yakushima, but they decided it might be time for their last adventure together. In the end, it was a great decision. Although it was a bit cloudy, they were able to enjoy a pleasant half-day. Since it was just the two of them with the guide, the instructions were clear and easy to understand for the elderly. Even though they said it would be their last time, they found themselves wanting to come back again.

６３歳と６２歳の夫婦が最後に挑む冒険として、西表島を選びました。カヌーはここ５年間、四万十川、宮古島等で体験、登山も同じく、富士山、屋久島島等で体験していますが、そろそろ最後かなと夫婦で相談しこの地を選びました。その結果、大正解でした。少し曇りがちでしたが。気持ちの良い半日を過ごすことができました。ガイドの案内は私たち夫婦のみでしたので年寄り相手に解りやすく案内していただきました。最後といいながらまた来たいと思ってしましました。

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.

青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルではキレイな魚を見れました。
SUPは初体験でしたが、なんとか立って漕ぐことができました。良い経験をさせていただいて、ありがとうございました。

Kayaking was a first experience for our whole family! My husband and I separated and each took one of our kids with us, but the waves were rough, and I struggled a lot with steering! The staff members encouraged us and helped us out at times, so we managed to get through it! At the entrance of the cave, we had to wait for the group in front of us while the tide was high and the waves were rough, and during that time, my daughter's face started to cloud over. However, the female staff member, A-chan, stayed close to my daughter and kept speaking to her gently, which helped us finally get into the Pumpkin Cave! In the dark, narrow space where people were jumping off the rocks one after another, my daughter became even more anxious and eventually started to cry, and my son also didn't want to climb the rocks, so unfortunately, our family had to wait outside the cave. Even then, A-chan kindly and safely guided us, which was a relief!

Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the cave experience very much, so we decided to go snorkeling with sea turtles instead. My daughter, who had been feeling down, changed her mood and decided to join in because A-chan was going with us! As a result, we were able to see many beautiful fish and even swim with a sea turtle, and our whole family had a wonderful time! My daughter, who was called out by A-chan for being the first to spot a turtle, completely regained her spirits. In the car on the way back, she happily said it was fun! Thanks to A-chan, who not only ensured safety but also genuinely cared about whether the kids were having fun, we made some very enjoyable memories! Thank you very much! I highly recommend this staff member for families with children!

カヤックは家族全員が初体験でした！主人と私に別れそれぞれ子供達と同乗していきましたが波もあり、私は操縦が下手すぎて大苦戦！スタッフの方たちに声をかけてもらい、時に助けて頂きながらなんとかいけました！鍾乳洞入り口では満ち潮で波が荒いなか、前のグループを待つ時間がありその間、娘の顔色がどんどん雲っていきました。でも、女性スタッフのあーちゃんが娘にピタリと寄り添い、ずっと優しく声をかけてくれたおかげでなんとかパンプキン鍾乳洞の中へ！暗く狭いスペースで人が岩から次々とジャンプする状況のなか、もっと不安になってしまった娘はついに泣きだしてしまい、息子も岩に登りたくないというのであえなく私たち家族は鍾乳洞の外で待機することにしました。。が、その際も、あーちゃんが優しく安全にさっと誘導してくれたので助かりました！
残念ながら私たちは鍾乳洞体験をあまり楽しめなかったので、相談してウミガメシュノーケリングをすることに。しょげていた娘も、優しくして頂いたあーちゃんが一緒なら、と気分を変えて参加！結果、たくさんの綺麗な魚たちを見ることができ、海ガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできて、家族みな大満足な時間を過ごすことができました！〇〇ちゃんが一番に亀を見つけたんだよねー！と、あーちゃんに声をかけてもらった娘はすっかり気分を挽回。帰りの車のなかでは、楽しかった！と嬉しそうでした。安全面だけではなく、子供たちが楽しめているか心から温かく見守り声をかけて頂いたあーちゃんのおかげで、大変楽しい思い出となりました！ありがとうございました！子連れには大変おすすめのスタッフさんです！

The instructor in charge was A-chan‼︎

Suddenly, the cave exploration tour was canceled, and it turned into a SUP session... However, A-chan provided thorough and kind instruction on SUP, teaching us fun ways to ride, and we had an incredibly enjoyable time‼︎

I would definitely like to request A-chan again when I come back to Miyako Island next time (^^)

担当のインストラクター→あーちゃん‼︎

急遽、鍾乳洞探検ツアーが出来なくなり、SUPになりました…
しかし、丁寧＆優しくにSUPの指導をして頂き、楽しい乗り方も伝授ししてもらい、凄く楽しい時間を過ごせました‼︎

また、次回も宮古島に来た時は、ぜひお願いしたいです(^^)

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour. Both activities took place in the rain, but the timing for the SUP was particularly heavy downpour. However, thanks to the guide's thorough lectures and explanations, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

シュノーケリングとサップのツアーに参加させていただきました。
両方とも雨天の中の催行でしたが、特にサップのタイミングはなかなかの土砂降り。
でも、ガイドさんの丁寧なレクチャーと説明で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました！

After entering the Blue Cave, I went snorkeling over the coral. The weather was nice, and the Blue Cave looked beautiful, which was great.

青の洞窟の中に入ったあと、珊瑚の上をシュノーケリングしました。天気も良く、青の洞窟が綺麗に見えて、良かったです。

Even in the rain, the mangrove canoeing became the best memory! 🛶☔️ Paddling in sync with my friends, I felt excited every time we passed through the mangrove tunnels! It felt just like being part of an expedition.

During the blue cave snorkeling, the sun miraculously came out, and it was so moving! ✨ I was able to see the coral reefs and cute fish up close, and I truly had a wonderful time. 🐠💙

It ended in the blink of an eye, and I had so much fun that I thought, "I want to swim more!" 🏝️

雨でも最高の思い出になったマングローブカヌー🛶☔️
友達と息を合わせて漕ぎ、マングローブのトンネルを抜けるたびにワクワク！まるで探検隊になった気分でした。

青の洞窟シュノーケルでは、奇跡的に太陽が出てくれて感動✨
珊瑚礁や可愛い魚たちを間近で見ることができて、本当に幸せな時間を過ごすことができました🐠💙

あっという間に終わってしまって、「もっと泳いでいたい！」と思うほど楽しかったです🏝️

After the typhoon passed, it rained, but it wasn't cold. The staff were friendly and we were able to chat a lot, which was really fun. Next time, please schedule it for sunset time.

台風の通り過ぎた後で、雨が降りましたが、寒くなかったです。スタッフの方も気さくでたくさんお話しができて、すごく楽しかったです。次回はサンセットタイムにお願いします。

The pumpkin cave, canoeing, and snorkeling were all so much fun! It became a really great memory. Thank you very much. John John

パンプキン鍾乳洞もカヌーもシュノーケリングもすごく楽しかったです！
とてもいい思い出になりました
ありがとうございました

The kayaking with the waves was fun, and the limestone cave was more mystical and moving than I had imagined! Thanks to our guide, Takurou, the tour went smoothly, and even with many tourists around, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing without any stress. It became the best spot of our trip to Miyako Island! I'm grateful that the kids also said they were glad they came!

波があるカヤックも楽しかったですし、鍾乳洞は想像以上に神秘的で感動しました！
ガイドのたくろうさんのスムーズなガイドで沢山のツアー客がいてもストレスなく観光できて宮古島来て1番のスポットになりました！子供達も来て良かったと言ってもらえたので感謝してます！

Since it was a half-day course, my 9-year-old child was able to participate without any issues. Kayaking under the blue sky while admiring the mangroves was fantastic. We had plenty of time to swim in the waterfall pool, and the course included having lunch there before heading back. During the hike, we received explanations about rare plants and even got to see crabs, making for a fulfilling day. I was also satisfied with the many photos they sent us. If I have the chance to come back to Iriomote Island, I would love to participate again.

半日コースだったので、9歳の子供でも問題なく参加することができました。マングローブを眺めながら、青空の下のカヤックは最高でした。
滝つぼで泳ぐ時間もしっかりと取れ、ランチを滝つぼで頂いてから戻ってくるというコースでした。ハイキングの道中では珍しい植物の説明をしてもらったり、カニを見れたりして、充実した日になりました。写真もたくさん送ってもらえて満足です。また西表島に来ることがあったら参加したいです。

The guide's extensive knowledge and the recent sighting of sea turtles made for a wonderful memory! Thank you!

ガイドさんのたくさんの知識と、直近でウミガメが見れてとてもいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！
