All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

In the morning, I participated in a snorkeling activity, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves!

The snorkeling was amazing, with beautiful fish and coral. Even as a near first-timer, I was able to enjoy it easily thanks to the life jacket. We swam at two spots, including Baras Island, so I got to see various underwater scenery, and I was deeply moved when I saw a sea turtle swimming up close at the end!

In the afternoon, the mangrove experience was great too. They carefully taught us how to paddle and ride, making it easy for beginners like me! I felt connected to nature in a way I usually can't, and I was healed by the natural plants and animals around the Kuura Falls!

Overall, I think it was a truly fulfilling tour that filled my heart throughout the day! The guide's explanations and the many photos we received afterward became wonderful memories.

I joined this tour as a solo traveler on a tight schedule, but the other participants and the guide were so kind that I was able to enjoy it fully on my own! Thank you very much!

午前中にシュノーケリング、午後からはマングローブでSUPというアクティビティツアーでした！

シュノーケリングは魚もサンゴもすごくキレイで、ほぼ初体験に近い私でもライフジャケットのおかげで難なく楽しめました。バラス島を含めて2か所のポイントを泳げたので色んな水中の景色が見れたのと、最後にすごく近くでウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることが出来たのでとても感動しました！
午後からのマングローブも、始めに乗り方漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくれたので初めてでも簡単に乗れました！
普段見ることのできないような大自然を感じることができ、クーラの滝にも自然の動植物にも癒やされました！
1日通して本当に心が満たされたツアーだったと思います！ガイドさんの説明や、ツアー後にたくさんもらえる写真もとても思い出になりました。

今回は弾丸の一人旅で参加したツアーでしたが、他の参加者やガイドさんも優しくて一人でも充分に楽しめました！ありがとうございました！

At 9 AM, we gathered at Shinjo Beach, surrounded by shallow waters and coral, where the waves were calm and perfect for swimming. During snorkeling, we were able to see small fish hiding among the corals, and to our surprise, we encountered three sea turtles just about four minutes after starting to swim! ^_^ It was a wonderful experience. Mao, our tour guide, shared various sightseeing knowledge with us, and he was warm and attentive to every detail. I would love to experience this tour again with my family.

朝9時に遠浅で珊瑚に囲まれた海は波も穏やかで、泳ぎやすいビーチ新城海岸で集合し、シュノーケリングでは珊瑚の陰に小さな魚を見ることもでき、泳ぎ始めて4分くらいでまさかのウミガメさん！(3匹)に会えました^_^
とてもいい体験でした。　
ツアーのマオさんからいろんな観光知識を教えて頂きました。暖かくて細かいところまで気を配りました。また家族と一緒にこのツアーを体験したいと思います。

Booking this tour was definitely the right choice. Riding a kayak on the wide sea with a pleasant breeze and watching the sunset slowly sink into the water was amazing. This is partly thanks to the weather, so in a sense, luck is involved, but the charm of this tour lies elsewhere.

In a word, the tour guide was wonderful. They provided careful support for beginners in kayaking, so there was absolutely no anxiety! More than that, they taught us how to enjoy the experience. They pointed out things like, "Look, there's a rainbow over there," "The clouds are shaped like that," and "The sky over there is such a beautiful color," finding various things to share with us from the same perspective, creating excitement, and enjoying the experience together. Thanks to this, I created many memories beyond just thinking, "That was beautiful."

Even if the weather were to be cloudy, I believe this guide would definitely show us how to enjoy the moment and help us create wonderful memories. I truly appreciate everything. Thank you very much!!

こちらのツアーに申し込んで大正解でした。
気持ちの良い風が吹く広い海の上でカヤックに乗り、ゆっくり海に沈んでいく夕日を見るのは、最高です。
…と、これは天気のおかげなので、ある意味運が必要ですが、こちらのツアーの魅力は、また別にあります。

一言でいうと、ツアーガイドの方が素晴らしかったです。カヤック初心者でも丁寧にサポートしてくれるので、不安は全く無し！というのは当たり前で、何よりも「楽しみ方」を教えてくれます。
「あそこ、虹が出てますよ」「雲があんな形をしてる」「あそこの空が、あんな色をしてて綺麗ですね」といった具合に、我々と同じ目線で色々な事を見つけ、盛り上げ、教えてくれて、一緒に楽しんでくれます。
おかげで、「綺麗だったなー」だけでなく、上記のようないろんな思い出が出来ました。

もし、仮に天候に恵まれずに曇りだったとしても、、このガイドさんなら、必ずその時の「楽しみ方」を教えてくれて、素敵な思い出を作ってくれると思います。本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました！！

I was guided with some little information about Iriomote Island and explanations about nature, which made the experience fresh as I could understand more about the island! Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle while snorkeling, so I am very satisfied.

西表島のプチ情報や、自然についての解説をしながら案内してくれたので、西表島のことを理解しながら体験できるというのが新鮮でした！
またシュノーケリングでは運良くカメくんにも出会えたのでとても満足しています。

We canoed to the limestone cave, explored inside, then jumped in, and canoed back. Along the way, our guide explained various things in a fun way and took lots of great photos, which made it very enjoyable!

One thing to note is that the tour lasts about two hours, and since we were advised to leave as much luggage behind as possible, we couldn't hydrate much (I thought maybe we could have left a water bottle in the canoe). I was also informed beforehand that there wouldn't be a restroom after gathering, which was a bit tough.

Also, without any shade, you can get really sunburned. But overall, it was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I participated! Our guide, Nakamura, was cute and funny, and I was really happy she was in charge. Thank you! ☺︎

カヌーで鍾乳洞まで行って、中を探索してから飛び込んで、またカヌーで戻ってきました。
道中では周りの色々なものを楽しく説明してくださったり、映え写真も沢山撮ってくださり、とても楽しかったです！
注意点は、ツアーが2時間くらいなんですが、出来るだけ荷物を置いて行くので水分が摂れないのと(もしかしたらペットボトルくらいならカヌーに置いとけたかもと思いました)、事前にお伝えいただいてたのですが集合してからトイレがないので、そこがちょっとつらかったです。
あとラッシュとかないとめちゃくちゃ焼けます。
ただなんにしろとても楽しくて参加してよかったです！
ガイドの中村さんが可愛くて面白くて、中村さんが担当してくれてよかったです。
ありがとうございました☺︎

It was my first experience kayaking, and I was able to enjoy seeing the mangroves. The staff were very fun and provided excellent guidance. I would love to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

カヤック初体験だったのですがマングローブを見られて楽しむことが出来ました。
スタッフさんもとても楽しくガイドをしてもらって最高でした。
また機会があれば利用させてもらいたいです。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! They provided transportation from any location and the guidance to the destination was smooth! Along the way, they shared a lot about the island's history, recommended spots, and delicious restaurants, and I was very satisfied with both the tour content and the service! They also shared the charm of the island, making me want to move here in the future (laughs). I would love to use their services again when I travel back! I also want to recommend it to my friends (＾_＾).

今回はハネムーンでこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！どんな場所でも送迎してくれて現地までの案内もスムーズ！道中は島の歴史やおすすめスポット、美味しいご飯屋さんをたくさん教えてくださり、ツアー内容ともに接客も大満足です！！島の魅力も共有してくれて老後は移住したくなりました(笑)また旅行にきた際には利用させていただきたいです！友達にもおすすめしたいと思います（＾_＾）

Thank you for a very enjoyable time! Being from Kansai, I had a fun conversation and a fulfilling experience! I also look forward to enjoying the nature of Okinawa while working hard. The explanations were detailed, and I learned a lot about mangroves and more.

とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました！関西出身でトークも楽しくて充実した体験が出来ました！
また沖縄の自然を楽しみに仕事も頑張りたいと思います笑
説明も詳しく、マングローブなどについてたくさん知ることが出来ました。

I mistakenly thought that the only thing to see in the cave was pumpkins, but while climbing up in the dark with a light, being pulled up, getting splashed by cold spring water, and jumping down, they explained everything and took lots of photos, which was really fun. Canoeing through the beautiful sea was also enjoyable. It became a great memory!

鍾乳洞の中はパンプキンを見るだけかと勘違いしてましたが、暗い中をライトで照らしながらよじ登るというか引っ張り上げてもらったり、冷たい湧水に打たれたり、飛び降りたり、色々と説明してくださって写真もいっぱい撮ってくださって、とっても楽しかったです。綺麗な海をカヌーで進むのも楽しかったです。良い思い出になりました！

I participated in the Pumpkin Hole tour on July 9th. It was a more active tour than I expected, but our guide, T, was very considerate of all the participants, and the older ladies had a great time! Thank you very much.
To reach the cave, we went by sea kayak, and since we had to climb up and down the hall, I think it's a good idea to wear long sleeves or a rash guard that goes down to the ankles to avoid sunburn.
The tour lasts about 2 to 2.5 hours, but considering the travel time to the meeting point, the lack of restrooms at the meeting and disbanding locations is tough for women. I deducted one star because we received a notice about a change in the meeting time the night before, but I believe it's a tour worth experiencing at least once.

　7/9のパンプキンホールツアーに参加しました。思っていたよりもアクティブに動くツアーでしたが、ガイドのTさんが参加者皆に気配りしていただき、おばさん達も大いに楽しめました♪有難うございました。
　洞窟まではシーカヤックで行くのと、ホールを登ったり降りたりするので、日焼け等を考えると長袖や足首までのラッシュガードを着ていると安心だと思います。
　ツアー時間は2〜2.5時間ですが集合場所までの移動時間を考慮すると、集合.解散場所にトイレがないのは女性にとっては厳しいことと、前日の晩に集合時間の変更連絡があったことから星一つ減らしましたが、一度は行ってみる価値のあるツアーだと思います。

In the morning, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island. Our guide, Kaz, was very kind and explained everything in detail. There were two snorkeling spots, and at the first spot, we saw plenty of coral and fish. The next stop at Barasu Island had an astonishing level of transparency, and we were lucky enough to land there, which was breathtaking! Even though I participated without a camera, Kaz kindly sent us photos later, which was very appreciated.

After our lunch break, we experienced canoeing through the mangroves. We got off partway and took a short walk to a waterfall, which was refreshing. Our guide, Shimicchan, was all smiles and shared interesting information about Iriomote Island. He also took photos for us here.

On the way back, we were able to take a shower in a large changing room at the office, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful guides!

朝はバラス島でのシュノーケリング。担当のカズさんはとても親切で、丁寧にいろいろと説明してくれました。シュノーケリングのポイントは2カ所で、最初のポイントはサンゴやサカナがいっぱいみれました。つぎのバラス島はびっくりするくらい透明度で運よく上陸でき、景色に感動！カメラなしで参加しても後からガズさんか写真を送ってくれたので、非常にありがたい。
お昼休憩のあとはマングローブの間をカヌーで体験。途中で降りて、滝までちょっと歩き、リフレッシュ。担当のしみっちゃんは笑顔全開でガイドしてくれて、西表島のことを色々話してくれておもしろかったです。ここでも写真を撮ってくれたました。
帰りはオフィスで大きな更衣室でシャワー浴びれで最初から最後まで至れり尽くせり。とてもすばらしいガイドさんたちに感謝でいっぱいです。

I went on a one-day tour of Iriomote Island! I finally got to experience the canoe tour surrounded by mangroves on the river that I've always wanted to visit! And we explored the limestone caves in the mountains of Iriomote Island! The guidance from the handsome nature-loving brother was amazing! His excitement for nature was so heartwarming!

In the peaceful surroundings, you can hear the sounds of birds, the wind, and the flowing river. He answered all my questions about nature and informed us about dangerous plants in advance, allowing us to enjoy the experience safely! Truly a great nature observation instructor!! I highly recommend it!

It was my first time canoeing, but I improved quite a bit on the way back! Also, we were served Soki soba and bread! It was delicious! Next time, I definitely want to visit your wife's bakery too!

西表島コモレビトリップ1日ツアー行って来ました！
ずっと行きたかった川でのマングローブに囲まれたカヌーツアー！
そして西表島の山の中の鍾乳洞！
イケメン自然大好きお兄さんの案内が最高でした！自然が好きすぎて興奮してる姿が癒されました！笑

静か〜な中に鳥の声や風の音、川の流れ 色んな音が聞こえてきます。
自然に関する質問も全て答えてくれるし危険植物も先に教えてくれて安全に楽しめました！さすが自然観察指導員！！オススメです！

初めてのカヌーでしたが、帰り道にはなかなか上達してましたよ〜
あとソーキそばとパンが出てきます！おいしいですよー！
次回は是非奥様のパン屋さんにも行きたいです☆

I think this is the best tour to experience the nature of Miyako Island! The beautiful sea, the blue sky, and the scenery I saw inside the Pumpkin Cave are unforgettable! When I visit Miyako Island again, I definitely want to join this tour again!

宮古島の自然を1番感じる事ができるツアーだと思います！綺麗な海、青い空、パンプキン鍾乳洞の中で見た景色が忘れられません！
また宮古島へ行った際は、是非またこのツアーに参加したいです！

Despite the rain, we were able to go canoeing and see the impressive waterfall with more water than usual! It felt like an adventure, and we had a great time! The guide also sent us the photos taken during the tour for free, which made us very happy. Additionally, they kindly took us back to the hotel when we wanted to return, keeping an eye on the ferry schedule. Thank you for your kindness!

雨の中でしたが、カヌーもでき、普段より水量の多い大迫力の滝も見れました！
おかげでサバイバル感あってとっても楽しかったです！
ガイドさんがツアー中に撮ってくれた写真も無料で送っていただき大満足でした。
また、最後フェリーの時間を気にしていただき、一旦ホテルに戻りたい私達を個別に送っていただきました。親切にありがとうございました。

The guidance was very thorough, making it enjoyable even for beginners! I was also really helped by the recommendations for shops in Ishigaki Island. They took over 100 wonderful photos, and the guide's stories were incredibly interesting, making for a very fulfilling time! ^_^

丁寧に教えていただけたので、初心者でも楽しめました！石垣島のオススメのお店についても教えてくださり、凄く助かりました！素敵な写真も100枚以上撮ってくださり、ガイドさんのお話も凄く面白くて、とても充実した時間になりました^_^

It was a half-day course with light hiking from the canoe! The guides were very attentive with their conversations and explanations, and I had a fantastic experience with this activity!! I definitely want to use this service again!

カヌーから軽いハイキングの半日コースでした！
ガイド方が会話も説明も気遣いもとても良く非常に良いアクティビティーが経験できました！！
また是非利用したいと思います！

In the morning, due to the weather conditions, some activities were changed (we even experienced the subtropical weather!). Thanks to the staff prioritizing safety, I had an amazing time exploring the Blue Cave and zip-lining over the river!

During the lunch break, we had our meal at a location featured in the advertisement on the transport vehicle. In the afternoon, we had our first experience with SUP, starting with a briefing before cruising through the subtropical jungle (mangroves). The areas thick with mangroves were surprisingly cool, and I got so immersed in the activities that I lost track of time!

The conversations with Shintaro, Taro, and Kuma were entertaining and filled with interesting trivia, making the journey enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos, making it a fantastic day that will be a cherished memory for me.

午前中は天候の都合でアクティビティの一部が変更になりましたが（亜熱帯らしさの天候も体験！）スタッフさんが安全を第一に考えていただいたおかげで青の洞窟探検と川でターザンするのをめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！
昼休憩では移動車の広告に載っている場所で昼食を済まし
午後からは初のSUPでは初めにレクチャーを受けてから亜熱帯ジャングル（ヒルギ）の中を巡回しました。ヒルギが生い茂っている所は意外と涼しくて時間を忘れてしまうぐらいアクティビティに没入できました！
シンタロウさん、タロウさん、クマさんのトークも面白く＆豆知識が冴え渡って移動中も楽しむ事ができたのと写真もたくさん撮っていただいて自分の中の記憶と記録に残る最高な1日になりました。

I had never done night kayaking before, so it was a refreshing experience! I'm glad I could connect with the nature of Okinawa!

I would like to use this service again!

夜のカヤックはやった事なかったので新鮮でした！
沖縄の自然に触れる事が出来てよかったです！

また利用したいです！

I had visited Miyako Island many times before, but I was unaware of the Pumpkin Cave until I happened to join this tour. I had signed up for the afternoon tour, but due to the tide, it was moved to the morning, and I received a notification about the meeting place and time the day before.

We traveled to the entrance of the cave by canoe, and it moved along more smoothly than I expected. Although we had to walk through some unstable areas in the sea, the clarity of the water made it incredibly refreshing.

Once we entered the Pumpkin Cave, a unique and mystical sight unfolded before us, and I was excited the entire time. The water inside the cave was deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom, and it was a bit scary at first due to the darkness (but it was no problem at all since we were wearing life jackets!). We climbed up the pumpkin formations and even dove from the top (it was truly thrilling!). I ended up moving around more than I expected, but it was an exhilarating exploration.

Additionally, our guide, Jun, was friendly and provided thorough explanations, which made me feel very comfortable. He took many photos of our group and sent the data right after the tour, which was a wonderful service, especially since we couldn't bring our smartphones due to the risk of them getting wet! He also shared local language, nature, and gourmet information, and the satisfaction I felt after the tour exceeded my expectations! I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much!

宮古島はこれまで何度も訪れていたにもかかわらずパンプキン鍾乳洞のことを知らず、今回たまたま参加しました。
午後のツアーに申込みをしていたのですが、潮位により午前の催行になるとのことで、前日に集合場所と時間の連絡がありました。
鍾乳洞の入口までカヌーで移動するのですが、思っていたよりもスイスイ進み、途中足元が不安定な海の中を歩いたりもするのですが、なにより透明度の高い海の上で非常に爽快でした。
いざパンプキン鍾乳洞に入ると、独特で神秘的な光景が広がっており、終始大興奮でした。鍾乳洞内の海面では底に足がつかず、暗さもあって最初少し怖かったり（ライフジャケットで浮くので全く問題なし！）、パンプキンをよじ登ったり、最後は上からダイブしたり（まさにハラハラドキドキ！）と意外と動きましたが、探検気分で最高に楽しめました。
また、今回のガイドのジュンさんはフレンドリーかつ説明も丁寧で、とても安心感がありました。グループごとに写真をたくさん撮ってツアー終了後すぐにデータを送ってくれたりと、水没の恐れがあるためスマホ持参ができない中で、それも大変うれしいサービスでした！その他にも、地元の言葉や自然、グルメ情報なども教えていただき、ツアー終了後の満足感は想像以上！！参加して本当によかったです。ありがとうございました。

We gathered at Shinjo Beach at 8:00 and went snorkeling. It was a bit chilly in the morning, but once I got used to it, it was totally fine. I was really happy to see a lot of sea turtles! After a short drive, we went kayaking to a limestone cave. It was a mystical place, and I was moved by the greatness of nature. Jumping into the sea at the end was nerve-wracking, but it was also fun. The snorkeling guide was friendly and great! The cave guide was very talkative and reliable, which was nice! I didn't have a car and took a taxi to the meeting point, but I was grateful that they also helped with transportation during the trip and on the way back, even though it was an extra cost.

8:00に新城海岸で集合してからのシュノーケリング。
朝だから若干 海が冷たかったけど慣れたら全然平気だった。
ウミガメもたくさん見れて良かった♡
車で少し移動して、カヤックで鍾乳洞へ。
神秘的なところで自然のすごさに感動する。
最後 海へジャンプするのドキドキしたけど それも楽しかった。
シュノーケリングガイドのお兄さん、気さくで良かった！
鍾乳洞ガイドのお姉さん、たくさん話してくれて頼りがいのある方で良かった！
車がなくタクシーで集合場所まで行ったけど、別途かかるけど途中の移動・帰りの送りまでしてくれて 有り難かったです♡

It was great that even beginners could enjoy it and take many photos (hundreds). I was also happy that they shared information not only about the tour but also about delicious places and nature in Ishigaki Island.

初心者でも楽しめて、写真もたくさん（数百枚）撮ってもらえたのがよかったです。ツアーのことだけでなく、石垣島の美味しいお店や自然について教えてくれたことも嬉しかったです。

I had an amazing experience feeling so close to nature. I really enjoyed the sea turtles and the Pumpkin Cave!! And above all, I underestimated the heat of Miyako Island (laughs). I went in a bikini, so I got really sunburned! I wish I had taken proper precautions and worn a swimsuit (laughs).

すごく自然を感じる体験ができました。
ウミガメもパンプキン鍾乳洞も最高に楽しめました！！
そしてなにより宮古島の暑さをなめてました（笑）
ビキニで行ったので日焼けがすごかったです！
全身しっかり予防して水着着てけばよかったなと思いました（笑）

I was able to enjoy a leisurely kayak experience. It was my first time kayaking, but they provided a proper lesson on how to paddle, so I was able to move forward right away! They also lent me a hat and shoes, so as long as I was prepared to get my lower half wet, I could participate easily.

ゆっくりのんびりカヤックを楽しめました。
初めてカヤックに乗りましたが、漕ぎ方をきちんとレクチャーしてくれたのですぐに進むことが出来ました！
帽子や靴も貸し出してくれたので、下半身だけ濡れてもいいようにしておけば気軽に参加できます♪

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. After reading reviews, we decided on this tour, and it was a great choice!

The guide was very kind, and their explanations were easy to understand and entertaining. I was also very happy that they took photos at key points.

I wasn't confident in my physical strength, but I was able to safely participate in both kayaking and trekking, creating the best memories! Thank you very much. If there's another opportunity, I will definitely use your services again. ^_^

新婚旅行で夫婦で参加させていただきました。
口コミを見てこちらのツアーに決めましたが、大正解でした！

ガイドの方はとても親切で、お話しはわかりやすくて面白かったです。
要所要所で写真も撮ってくださったことも、とても嬉しかったです。

私は体力に自信がなかったけど、カヤックもトレッキングも無事に安全に参加することが出来、最高の思い出になりました‼︎
本当にありがとうございました。
また機会があったら利用させていただきます^_^

The mangrove SUP was great! They taught us how to paddle properly, so I felt at ease. I was also happy that they took group photos at various spots and shared them with us later.

During the ride, they talked about recommended shops and suggested different places for lunch, where I enjoyed a delicious hamburger. The snorkeling was fantastic too; I got to see a sea turtle and was very satisfied. Thank you!

マングローブsup気持ちよかったです^ ^
漕ぎ方もちゃんと教えてくれるので、安心でした。色んな場所でグループごとの写真くれて、後でいただけたのも嬉しかったです♡

道中の車の中も、おすすめのお店などの話をしてくれたり、お昼食べる場所も色んなパターンで教えてくれて、美味しいハンバーガー食べれました☆シュノーケリングも、ウミガメ見れて、大満足でした。ありがとうございました！

The staff were kind, and the children were very happy, saying, "The big brother was so nice!" The activities were in the order of snorkeling, barbecue, and banana snorkeling, but there was plenty of free time in between, allowing us to fully enjoy swimming in the sea. The barbecue lunch exceeded our expectations. It had been a while since our last trip, but we made great memories. I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

スタッフの方々が親切で、子供たちも「お兄さん優しかったなー」と大変喜んでいました。シュノーケリング→バーベキュー→バナナシュノーケリングの順でしたが、間の自由時間もたっぷりあって、海水浴も満喫できました。昼食のバーベキューも期待以上でした。久しぶりの旅行でしたが、良い思い出ができました。また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

The weather was wonderful, and the long-awaited Pumpkin Hall was very mystical and moving. Our guide, Mao, was efficient and made the activities run smoothly, which was great. At Pumpkin Hall, I got to hear various stories and was very satisfied. The diving was thrilling (laughs).

During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and Nemo, creating great memories of Miyako Island.

Thank you very much!

お天気にも恵まれ、念願だったパンプキンホールはとても神秘的で感動しました。ガイドのまおさんはテキパキと動いてくれて、スムーズにアクティビティが出来てよかったです。パンプキンホールでは、色々な話が聞けて、大満足です。飛び込みドキドキでした（笑）
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメやニモも見れて、宮古島のいい思い出が出来ました。

ありがとうございました

It's understandable that plans had to change due to the pumpkin being at sea, but it was disappointing that it took two days for the schedule to be adjusted, leading to the cancellation of the snorkeling tour in Yabiji. I can't help but feel regret over the cancellation of the Yabiji snorkeling, especially since I won't be able to visit Miyako Island again. It was my last trip, and I feel a deep sense of regret. I wish they had suggested a schedule change. Additionally, I was called "mother," which is something I would never experience on other tours. It was disrespectful and frustrating. I'm not your mother; I wanted to feel a sense of escape and freedom during my trip, yet I was constantly referred to as "mother." It was very unpleasant and the worst experience. I've participated in various other tours where travelers are treated properly, and those experiences were very enjoyable. Only in Miyako Island's Pipi was it the worst. The photos were mostly of large groups, and there weren't many of us, which was disappointing. It's a shame there are no good photos.

パンプキンが海のため、予定が変更になるのは仕方がないのですが、そのために2日も予定がとられることになりヤビジのシュノーケルを泣く泣くキャンセルしました。日程変更とか、１日の予定だったものをなぜ2日もとられてしまうのか？ヤビジのシュノーケルがキャンセルになってしまったので心残りで仕方ありません。もう宮古島は行けません。最後の旅行でしたので心残りで仕方ありません。日程変更を提案してくれたら良かったのに。また、他のツアーでは絶対にない呼ばれ方をしていました。何故かお母さんと呼ぶのです。失礼で頭にきてました。あなたのお母さんではないし、旅行で非日常を感じたく、解放的になりたくて行っているのに、終始お母さんと呼ばれます。とても気分は悪いかったし最悪でした。他に色々なツアーに参加していますが、ちゃんと旅行者扱いしていただき他のツアーはとても気持ちがいいです。宮古島のピピだけです。最悪です写真も団体客ばかりで私達のはあまり撮れてないし良くなかったです。いい写真がなくて残念です。。

【Daily Schedule】After exploring the mangroves of Miyara River by SUP, we took about an hour and a half lunch break at Ishigaki Port. We then regrouped and enjoyed snorkeling and exploring the Blue Cave. Including transportation, it was a full day of about 7 hours! ☺︎【Highlights】① Transportation to and from the hotel is included! ② The guides for both Miyara River and the Blue Cave are great at keeping the energy up! I created wonderful memories that surpassed the beautiful scenery in front of me. ☺︎ ③ It was a challenging environment to bring phones or cameras, but the guides took a lot of photos for us. Looking back at those photos after returning, I already miss Ishigaki Island. ④ Overall, it was a very fulfilling experience with great cost performance! 【For Those Hesitating】This isn't limited to this activity, but it seems that the weather can affect the scenery and experiences available. However, the bright and warm hospitality of the guides and the packed content might be unique to this experience. Everyone participating was constantly laughing, and I truly felt I had a wonderful time. I highly recommend it!

【１日の流れ】宮良川のマングローブをSUPで散策したのち、石垣港にて1時間半くらいのお昼休憩。その後再集合し、青の洞窟をシュノーケルと探検で楽しみました。送迎を含め、トータル7時間くらいのボリューミーな１日でした☺︎【おすすめポイント】①ホテルまで歓送迎つき！②宮良川、青の洞窟それぞれのガイドさんが盛り上げ上手です！目の前の景色以上に素敵な思い出ができました☺︎③携帯やカメラを持ち込みにくい環境での体験でしたが、ガイドさんがたっくさん写真を撮ってくださりました。帰ってからその写真を見返し、すでに石垣島が恋しいです。④総括、すごく充実した内容でコスパ高しです！【迷ってる方に】今回のアクティビティに限ることではないですが、天気によって見える景色やできる体験に影響がでてしまうことがあるそうです。ただ、ガイドさんの明るく温かいおもてなしや盛りだくさんな内容はこの体験ならではかもしれません。一緒に体験されている方も笑い声が絶えず、自身も本当に素敵な時間を過ごせたと感じています。おすすめです！

In the morning, due to the weather, some activities were changed (we even experienced the subtropical weather!). Thanks to the staff prioritizing safety, we had an amazing time exploring the Blue Cave and swinging on a Tarzan rope in the river!

During lunch, we enjoyed a meal at a location featured in the advertisement on our transport vehicle. In the afternoon, we had our first experience with SUP, starting with a briefing before touring through the subtropical jungle (mangroves). The areas thick with mangroves were surprisingly cool, and we became so immersed in the activities that we lost track of time!

Shintaro, Taro, and Kuma's conversations were entertaining and filled with interesting trivia, making the journey enjoyable. We also took a lot of photos, making it a fantastic day that will remain in my memories and records.

午前中は天候の都合でアクティビティの一部が変更になりましたが（亜熱帯らしさの天候も体験！）スタッフさんが安全を第一に考えていただいたおかげで青の洞窟探検と川でターザンするのをめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！
昼休憩では移動車の広告に載っている場所で昼食を済まし
午後からは初のSUPでは初めにレクチャーを受けてから亜熱帯ジャングル（ヒルギ）の中を巡回しました。ヒルギが生い茂っている所は意外と涼しくて時間を忘れてしまうぐらいアクティビティに没入できました！
シンタロウさん、タロウさん、クマさんのトークも面白く＆豆知識が冴え渡って移動中も楽しむ事ができたのと写真もたくさん撮っていただいて自分の中の記憶と記録に残る最高な1日になりました。
