All Reviews for Okinawa SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard)

The wind was strong, and there was rain in the forecast...
We ended up just snorkeling without the pumpkin.
But that's okay!
I heard there was only a 30% chance of seeing a sea turtle.
We entered the water feeling lucky if we spotted one.
The beautiful fish and various shapes of coral were already breathtaking.
We found Nemo and took a commemorative photo. So cute! I was glad I didn't cancel.
Then we encountered a sea turtle while it was eating.
We swam together for a bit, took more photos, and I got to see it come up for air, which was incredibly moving as it swam away...
Thank you. My first time in Miyako Island.
Thank you. The sea, the fish, and the little sea turtle.
Thank you. Yuya.

It became an unforgettable time.
Yuya was truly the best!
Thank you for the fun time! ^_^

風が強く、雨予報、、、
パンプキンはなしで、シュノーケルだけになりました。
でもそれはしょーがないので全然OK！
ウミガメに会えるのは30%とのこと。
会えたらラッキーな感じで海に入りました。
綺麗な魚たち、色んな形のサンゴ、それだけで感動。
ニモを見つけてくれて、記念撮影。可愛すぎ、、。キャンセルしないで良かったーと思っていたら。
『いました！』とウミガメの食事中に遭遇。
少し一緒に泳いで、記念撮影もして、海面に顔を出して呼吸する姿も見られて、去っていく後ろ姿に超感動、、、。
ありがとう。初宮古島。
ありがとう。海、魚たち、ウミガメちゃん。
ありがとう。ゆーやさん。

忘れられない時間となりました。
ゆーやさんが本当にサイコー！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました^_^

At first, we were a bit flustered, but we gradually got used to it. The weather was absolutely fantastic, with the blue sky and the ocean shining in Miyako Blue, and we even got to see sea turtles! The Pumpkin Hall tour also sparked our sense of adventure and was a lot of fun. It became a wonderful memory, thank you!

最初はおろおろだった私達も次第に慣れ、なんと言っても凄く天気が良く、空の青さに海も宮古ブルーに輝いて海ガメにも会えました❗
パンプキンホールツアーも冒険心をかきたてられ楽しかったです。
良い思い出になりました、ありがとうございました❗

I was able to enjoy riding a canoe with my friends and take lots of photos. The water buffalo cart to Yufujima moved at a leisurely pace, which was very pleasant. I made wonderful memories with a lovely family while canoeing.

友達とカヌーに乗って写真もたくさん撮って楽しむ事が出来ました。由布島へ渡る水牛車はのんびりと進んでいく時間がとても心地よかったですね。カヌーでは可愛い親子連れと仲良くなり、素敵な思い出が作れました。

It was my first time participating, and I was very satisfied! The exploration of Pumpkin Head and snorkeling with the sea turtles were even more fun than I imagined.

The guide was flexible and really made the experience enjoyable, and they took a lot of great photos, so I have wonderful memories! I am truly grateful.

初めての参加でしたが、大満足でした！
パンプキンヘッドの探検も、海亀とのシュノーケリングも想像以上で楽しかったです。

ガイドの方も臨機応変に盛り上げて下さり、
また写真を沢山撮ってくれるので、
良い思い出が出来ました！
本当に感謝しています。

I participated in early November. It was a day filled with enjoyment of the Pumpkin Cave, snorkeling, and the great nature of Miyako Island. The stories inside the cave were fun, and during snorkeling, I was able to dive and take photos thanks to our guide, Yuma-kun, who was very helpful. I was truly moved to encounter sea turtles, which were said to have a 50% chance of meeting, and I was able to see two of them! I received many photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

11月初旬に参加
パンプキン鍾乳洞、シュノーケリングと宮古島の大自然を満喫できた1日でした
鍾乳洞の中でのお話も楽しかったし、シュノーケリングでは潜って写真を撮ってくださったり、ガイドのゆうまくんにはとてもお世話になりました
出会う確率が50%と言われてたウミガメにも出会えて、しかも2匹も出会う事ができて本当に感動でした
たくさんの写真を送信してくださりとでもいい思い出になりました
ありがとうございました

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but I was able to enjoy myself without any reservations. I would definitely like to join again if there's another opportunity!

１人参加は少し不安もありましたが、気兼ねなく楽しむことができました。
また機会があればぜひ参加したいです！

The first time doing SUP and snorkeling was so much fun!!! I even got to see a sea turtle, and it was so cute! It was so enjoyable that I want to do it again next time in Miyako Island!

初のsupとシュノーケルとても楽しかった！！！
ウミガメにも会えてとても可愛いかった〜！あまりに楽しかったので今度は宮古島でやりたい！

Due to the tides, the tour was scheduled for the afternoon, but both the snorkeling and the Pumpkin Cave were amazing experiences! Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling, but we were delighted by the clownfish and many other fish.

The Pumpkin Cave was more activity-oriented than I had imagined. After paddling a canoe to the entrance of the cave, we explored the cave's ups and downs. It was great to enjoy the experience with everyone in the same group.

We drove from the snorkeling spot to the Pumpkin Cave, but we ended up wetter than we expected. I think it's a good idea to bring several large towels and plastic covers to prevent the car seats from getting wet.

I was also happy that our guide took many photos and shared wonderful pictures with us via LINE at the end. It became a fantastic memory!

潮の満ち引きの関係で午後からのツアーとなりましたが、シュノーケリングもパンプキン鍾乳洞もどちらも最高の体験でした！
シュノーケリングでは残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、クマノミや沢山の魚たちに癒されました。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は想像よりアクティビティ性が高く、カヌーを漕いで洞窟の入り口まで向かった後、アップダウンが激しい洞窟内を探検するようなスタイルでした。
同じグループの皆さんと楽しく周れたのがなによりよかったです。
私たちはシュノーケリングのポイントからパンプキン鍾乳洞までレンタカーで移動したのですが、想像以上に濡れた状態での移動になりました。車のシートが濡れないように大きいバスタオル複数枚、ビニールなども用意しておいた方がよいと思います。

ガイドのお兄さんが沢山写真を撮ってくださり、最後にLINEで素敵な写真をいただけたことも嬉しかったです。最高の思い出になりました！

Thanks to our guide Luna's personality, we were able to enjoy canoeing in a friendly atmosphere with the other participants. Later, we received photos, which became great memories. Thank you for your support.

ガイドのルナさんのお人柄か他の参加者の方とも和やかにカヌーを楽しめ、後ほど写真も送っていただき、良い思い出になりました。お世話になりありがとうございます。

At first, I was worried about bothering the other tour participants, but thanks to our guide Yuya, I was able to enjoy a wonderful day. I think it was worth more than the price! I highly recommend this tour.

最初はツアーの皆さんに迷惑をかけるか心配でしたが、ガイドのユウヤさんのおかげで楽しく1日を満喫する事が出来ました。値段以上の内容だと思います！本当にオススメのツアーです。

It seems that about half of 2022 was rainy, but we were blessed with the best weather during October and November! Due to the waves and wind, we couldn't go snorkeling, but instead, the water buffalo cart experience on Yufu Island was amazing! The time spent traveling back and forth on the water buffalo cart, accompanied by the sound of the sanshin, and the beautiful scenery that truly represents the tropics was wonderful! Above all, Gakki from ADVENTURE PiPi was adorable and soothing! Her voice was clear and easy to understand, and there was a nice contrast in her energetic guidance. Thank you for the fun time!

2022年は半分くらい雨の日だったようですが、10.11月の中で最もコンディションが良い晴天に恵まれました！波風のため？シュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、代わりに体験させて頂いた水牛車の由布島は最高でした！三線の音色ともに水牛車で往復する時間や由布島でのこれぞ南国という景観が素晴らしかったです！何よりADVENTURE PiPiのガッキーさんが、可愛くて癒されました！声もよく通って聞き取りやすく、ちゃきちゃきした案内には良いギャップがありました^ ^
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！！

The guide was kind and approachable, and the explanations were easy to understand. It's a very satisfying activity, so I recommend it.

ガイドさんが親切で接しやすく、説明も分かりやすかったです。とても満足出来るアクティビティですのでオススメです。

I used this service for a two-person trip on my first visit to Miyako Island. It was recommended to choose two activities from pumpkin cave, sea turtle snorkeling, SUP, and canoeing, so we experienced snorkeling in the morning and the pumpkin cave in the afternoon.

Before our departure, the weather forecast predicted bad weather, and we were worried about what would happen, but fortunately, we were blessed with good weather throughout and even encountered sea turtles!

It had been several years since I last entered the sea, but thanks to our knowledgeable and handsome guide, Kei, who provided precise instructions, we had the best experience.

Thank you very much!

初の宮古島旅行で二人旅で利用させていただきました。
時間的にパンプキン鍾乳洞、ウミガメシュノーケリング、SUP、カヌーから２つ選択がお勧めとのことで、午前はシュノーケリング、午後はパンプキン鍾乳洞を体験です。

出発前は悪天候の予報でどうなることかという感じでしたが、幸運なことに終始天候にも恵まれ、無事ウミガメにも遭遇！

海に入る事自体が数年来の自分でしたが、博識イケメンガイドのけいさんに的確に教えていただき、最高の体験が出来ました。

ありがとうございました！

We participated as a couple.
Initially, we planned to experience stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the ocean, but due to the wind, we changed the location to a river with mangroves for the SUP experience.

◆Impressions
It was my first time trying SUP, but before getting on, I was taught how to ride and paddle, which made me feel secure about participating.
Along the way, thanks to the personalities of the other participants, we were able to enjoy a fun and friendly atmosphere together.

We took a lot of photos, and I was very satisfied.

During the car ride to and from the location, we enjoyed quizzes and discussions about recommended shops, so it was entertaining from start to finish!

I’m glad I participated.
Thank you very much!!

夫婦で参加しました。
当初は海にてサップを体験する予定でしたが、
風の影響もあり、マングローブ林のある川に場所を変更しサップ体験をしました。

◆感想
サップは初体験でしたが、乗る前に乗り方や漕ぎ方を教わり、安心して参加することが出来ました。
道中も他に参加された方の人柄もありましたが、
みんなで和気あいあいと楽しく参加することができました。

沢山写真も撮っていただき、大満足でした。

行き帰りの車内でもクイズやおすすめの店情報の話など退屈せず、最初から最後まで楽しかったです！

参加して良かったです。
ありがとうございました！！

We went by canoe to Pumpkin Cave, and inside the cave where the sea god resides, we felt our hearts cleansed. During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles!

カヌーでパンプキン鍾乳洞まで行き、海の神様がいらっしゃる鍾乳洞の中では心洗われ、シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメも見ることが出来ました！

I spent a whole day enjoying SUP, snorkeling, and the Pumpkin Cave! Our handsome guide, Kei-kun, taught us various things about the history of Miyako Island, which made it a lot of fun. My wife and I were talking about how Kei-kun must have grown up with the sea in Miyako Island, and we were surprised to hear that he came to Miyako Island this April. It turns out Kei-kun was pretending to have grown up there, haha!

It was unfortunate that it rained in the morning, but since we could borrow wetsuits for free, wearing one made the cold in late October no problem at all.

The beautiful sea, fish, sea turtles, and Pumpkin Cave in Miyako Island were amazing!

丸一日使って、SUP、シュノーケリング、パンプキン鍾乳洞を満喫してきました！
ガイドのイケメンのけいくんが、宮古島の歴史も含めて色々教えてくれたので楽しかったです。
けいくんは、絶対宮古島で海とともに育ったのだろうと妻と話していたら、今年の4月に宮古島に来たと聞いてびっくりしました。
宮古島で育ちを装ってたけいくんでした笑笑

午前中に雨が降っていたのが、残念でしたが、ウエットスーツが無料で借りれたので、それを着れば10月末なら寒さは問題なかったです。

宮古島の綺麗な海、魚、ウミガメ、パンプキン鍾乳洞サイコーでした。

On the day of the trip, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to the Phantom Island, so we quickly changed to canoeing and snorkeling. We had a friendly guide who helped us enjoy the great outdoors! It was my first time canoeing, but the weather was nice, and it felt really good. I will definitely come back for a rematch at Phantom Island!

当日、強風で幻の島に行かないとのことで、急遽カヌー&シュノーケリングに変更。
気さくなお姉さんにガイドしてもらって、大自然を満喫しましたー！！
初めてのカヌーだったけど、天気も良くて凄くきもちよかったです＾＾
また、幻の島もリベンジに来ます！！

The content of the tour was good, as many have mentioned. I was really looking forward to receiving the photos taken during the tour (I exchanged LINE contacts with the guide after the tour). However, more than a week passed with no news at all. When I reached out in concern, I was told, "The photo data is deleted after a week, so we no longer have it." Is it really the case that I wouldn't receive anything unless I contacted them? Moreover, they mentioned, "If you don't hear from us two days after the tour, please contact us," but no one I participated with remembers hearing that. Isn't that phrasing usually based on the assumption that they would send the photos first? I gave up since there's no changing the fact that the photo data is gone, but I can't accept this situation at all. There are reviews stating that some guides provided the photo data immediately, so there might be inconsistencies. I urge those who will participate in the future to be very careful.

ツアー自体の内容は多くの方が書かれている通りでよかった。その分ツアー中に撮影してもらった写真をもらえるのをとても楽しみにしていた（ツアー終了後にガイドとLINE交換する）。しかし１週間以上経っても全く音沙汰なし。不安になって連絡してみると，「写真データは１週間経てば消去するためもう手元にない」と。こちらから連絡しないともらえないことなどあるのか？しかも「ツアー終了後２日経っても連絡がない場合は，お客様から連絡してくださいとツアー中にお伝えしています」と。一緒に参加した人に聞いてもそのようなことは聞いた覚えがないと言っているし，そもそもその文言は通常なら向こうから写真を送ってくる前提では？これ以上言及しても写真データがないことに変わりはないから諦めたが，到底納得できるものでない。ガイドによってはすぐに写真データをくれたという口コミもあるため，当たり外れがあるのかもしれない。これから参加される方はくれぐれも気をつけてください。

Our honeymoon was well taken care of, and it became a wonderful memory for us as a couple! The staff were very attentive, and we were able to enjoy our first snorkeling experience. We also got beautiful photos taken, and we are very satisfied!

新婚旅行でお世話になり夫婦にとって良い記念になりました！
スタッフさんにも丁寧に対応していただき初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しむ事が出来ました。
綺麗な写真も撮ってもらい大満足です！

The night before the experience, I couldn't find the meeting place due to a mistake in the email settings, but I called around 6 PM on a whim, and I was relieved that someone answered even though it was outside of business hours.
On the day of the event, our guide was K. He greeted us cheerfully at the meeting point, which felt great. Since I participated with my wife, who isn't a strong swimmer, and our 9-year-old daughter, there were quite a few moments that required consideration, but we were really satisfied to finally see a sea turtle, and we also enjoyed the sea kayaking experience and the cave exploration!
Oh, and they also told us about the coconut crab sighting points, and we were really able to encounter one!
Thank you very much. We appreciate your help.

体験前夜、メール設定のミスで集合場所が分からなかったのですが、ダメ元で１８時過ぎにTELしたところ営業時間外にも関わらず通じて助かりました。
当日の担当ガイドはKくんでした。待ち合わせ場所では明るく挨拶してくれて気持ち良かったです。５０過ぎのオヤジと泳ぎの不得手な妻と９歳の娘で参加したため、かなり気を使う場面も多かったはずですが、念願の海ガメも見れて、シーカヤック体験と鍾乳洞探検も出来て本当に満足出来ました～!
そうそう、ヤシガニ出没ポイントも教えて頂き、本当に出会うことができました!
ありがとうございました。
お世話になりました。

I felt that it was a really fun time that ended in the blink of an eye.

I also think it was great that they kindly taught me.

すごく楽しい時間であっという間に終わったなと感じました。

また親切に教えてくれて良かったと思います。

I had a great time being guided by a kind and friendly older brother. I booked a canoe, but I also got to try stand-up paddleboarding, which was fun. I was so happy to meet a turtle while snorkeling. The older brother took so many wonderful photos, and it became a lifelong memory. My dream of meeting a turtle, which I had for several years, came true! I want to come back again! Thank you, Yuma!

優しくフレンドリーなお兄さんにガイドして頂いてすごく楽しかったです。
カヌーを予約しましたが、サップもさせてもらえて楽しかったです。シュノーケリングで亀に会えてすごく嬉しかったです。そしてお兄さんがとてもたくさん素敵な写真を撮ってくれて一生の思い出に残りました。数年前から亀に会いたかった夢が叶いました！
また来たいです！ゆうまさんありがとうございました！

We did snorkeling, canoeing, and visited the Pumpkin Cave! The clarity of the ocean was overwhelming, and everything we did was beautiful. Above all, the Pumpkin Cave was mystical and the most fun experience.

Our guide, Keikun, was enjoyable and really enhanced the tour with his talks and energy, making it even more enjoyable! We took lots of photos at various spots, including sea turtles, fish, and the Pumpkin Cave, creating the best memories.

I thought it might be too packed, but we had a two-hour lunch break, so we could relax and also visit the recommended diner by our guide, Keikun. I would love to use this service again!

sup、シュノーケリング、カヌー、パンプキン鍾乳洞をやりました！海の透明感が圧倒的で何をやるにも綺麗でした。何よりパンプキン鍾乳洞は神秘的で1番楽しかったです。
ガイドしてくださったけいくんが楽しく、トークでも身体でもツアーを盛り上げてくださったお陰でより楽しめました！ウミガメや魚、パンプキン鍾乳洞など、いろんなスポットでたくさん写真も撮ってくだったので、最高の思い出になりました。
盛りだくさんすぎるかな…と思いましたがお昼休憩の時間も2時間あったのでゆっくり休憩しつつ、ガイドのけいくんおすすめの食堂へも行くことができました。また利用したいです！

It was a satisfying tour where I got to meet three sea turtles. They also took photos for us.

Since we were the only participants in the canoe, they took a lot of photos while staying with us, and we also got to experience stand-up paddleboarding. They were incredibly kind, and I made wonderful memories for my honeymoon! I plan to ask for their services again when I come back to Miyako Island. Thank you!

ウミガメ3匹と会うことが出来て、満足できるツアーでした。
写真も撮っていただきました。

カヌーは参加者が自分たちだけだったので、付きっきりでたくさん写真を撮っていただいて、サップの体験もさせてもらいました。
すごい親切にして頂き、素敵な新婚旅行の思い出が出来ました！
また宮古島に来た時にはお願いしようと思います^ ^
ありがとうございました！

Due to bad weather, we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island, but we participated in a mangrove canoe tour in the morning.

It was my first time on Iriomote Island, but our guide, Gakki, shared various stories about the island on the way to our destination, which made the journey exciting.

At first, I struggled to paddle as I had hoped, getting stuck and bumping into trees, but it was thrilling and a lot of fun.

We were able to see the beautiful Sagari-bana, which blooms briefly, and felt the power of nature while soaking in negative ions at the waterfall at the end. It was a truly precious time!

Gakki also took many wonderful photos, and just looking back at them brings back the fun memories. I thought it would be great to come back during the peak bloom of the Sagari-bana or for a revenge trip to Barasu Island. It became a lovely memory of our honeymoon. Thank you, Gakki! ♡

悪天候のためバラス島でのシュノーケリングは叶いませんでしたが、午前中のみのコースでマングローブカヌーのツアーに参加しました。

西表島は初めてでしたが、ポイントまでの道中でガイドのガッキーが西表島のいろいろな話をしてくださったので、ワクワクしながら向かうことができました。

最初は思ったように進めず、座礁したり木に突っ込んだりしましたが、スリルがあってとても楽しかったです。

すぐに散ってしまうというサガリバナが綺麗な状態で見られたり、ゴールの滝でマイナスイオンを浴びながら大自然のパワーを感じたりと、大変貴重な時間を過ごすことができました！

素敵なお写真もたくさん撮ってくださっていて、見返すだけで楽しかった時間が蘇ってきます。次はサガリバナが満開の時期か、バラス島のリベンジでまた来たいなと思いました。新婚旅行の素敵な思い出になりました。ガッキー、ありがとう♡

It was my first time doing SUP, and I was able to do it without falling even once! The instructor kindly taught me how to use the paddle and where to position myself, and even though it was windy, I was able to paddle through it. Kei, the instructor, took a lot of photos and sent me some wonderful pictures on the same day, so I was able to reminisce about the fun memories while chatting at night! Thank you very much! ♪ I was lucky to encounter a sea turtle, which I had always wanted to see! ☺️

初めてのSUPでしたが、一度も落ちることもなく出来ました！パドルの使い方や、乗る位置など丁寧に教えてくださり、風が強かったのですが漕ぎ切ることができましたインストラクターのけいさんが写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、当日には素敵な写真を送ってくれたので、楽しかった思い出を夜に話しながら、振り返ることも出来ました！ありがとうございました♪
ウミガメは、ずっと見たかったので運良く出会えてよかったです☺️

I received an email the day before the reservation stating that there is a parking fee of 1,000 yen. It also mentioned that prescription goggles would cost an additional 1,000 yen. I have done snorkeling with other tours from Veltra, and they did not charge extra for prescription goggles. If there is an additional fee, I believe it should be clearly explained at the time of booking.

As for the tour itself, I was able to see sea turtles, and the SUP was fun, so overall, I was satisfied.

予約日の前日にメールが来て、駐車場代1000円かかります。度付きのゴーグルは1000円かかりますとの事でした。シュノーケリング、他のベルトラのツアーでしましたけど、度付きのゴーグルは、別料金取られませんでした。別料金取るのなら、予約の段階できちんと説明すべきではと思います。
ツアー自体は、ウミガメも見れたし、SUPも楽しかったし、満足のいく物でした。

I traveled to Miyako Island for the first time with my friends. Canoeing, snorkeling, and the Pumpkin Cave were amazing! Our guide, Marcy, was kind to all five groups of guests, providing us with camera opportunities, Miyako Island quizzes, and recommendations for shops. He was a humorous and reliable guide! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Miyako Island! ♪(≧∀≦)

初めて宮古島を友達と旅行しました。カヌーやシュノーケリング、パンプキン鍾乳洞は最高でした！
ガイドはんのマーシーさんは5組いる御客さん皆んなに優しく、カメラ撮影や宮古島クイズ、おすすめの店紹介などして下さりユーモアで頼もしいガイドさんでした！
宮古島を旅するお客さんは是非このツアーに申し込んで欲しいです♪(≧∀≦)

I participated in the sea turtle snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave tour. As soon as I entered the water, I encountered a sea turtle, and I saw a total of four! According to the instructor, that was lucky. It was adorable to see them eating seaweed. We even took pictures together, which was the best part!

In the afternoon, we went to Pumpkin Cave by canoe. The inside of the cave was more mystical than I had imagined, and I was very moved! It was fine even if I couldn't swim! Thank you for the wonderful tour!

海亀シュノーケルとパンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーに参加しました。海の中に入ってすぐに海亀に会えて、全部で4匹も見られました。インストラクターのお姉さんいわくラッキーだとのこと。海藻を食べている様子が可愛かったです。一緒に写真も撮れて最高でした！

午後はカヌーでパンプキン鍾乳洞へ。洞窟の中は思っていた以上に神秘的でとても感動しました！泳げなくても大丈夫でした！素敵なツアーをありがとうございました！

Canoeing through the jungle was a lot of fun! The guidance from Gakki was very polite and cheerful, and it was really great. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

ジャングルの中を進んでいくカヌーはとても楽しかったです！
ガイドをしていただいたガッキーさんの教え方や対応が丁寧で明るくて、とても良かったです^ ^
また機会があれば利用したいと思います。
