Okinawa
For my boyfriend's birthday, I was surprised by so many things, especially since I'm not usually an outdoor person! When I actually visited the Blue Cave, I found that the shallow sea was quite expansive, and there were many experiences that you can only understand by trying them out. The stand-up paddleboarding was designed for people who aren't used to outdoor activities, and with tips from my boyfriend and the guide, I was able to stand up on the board. By the end, we became friendly enough to take a photo together with the guide, which made for the best memories.
彼氏の誕生日で普段アウトドアをしない私にはアッと驚かされる内容ばかりでした!
青の洞窟は実際に行ってみると、浅い海が結構広がっていたり、体験しないとわからないことが目白押しでした。
サップはアウトドアに慣れていない人でも乗れるようになっていて、彼氏とガイドさんにコツを教えてもらい立てるようになりました。
最後はガイドさんと三人で写真を取るくらいまで仲良くなれて最高の思い出になりました。
Kawahirawan is shallower than I expected, so even if you fall off the SUP, you won't drown! We challenged ourselves with a tandem ride and fell off several times, but it was fine!! I was worried about the blue cave since my companion isn't a strong swimmer, but we were able to proceed slowly and safely reached our destination. In the end, we took a little break at a slightly cold waterfall to rinse off the seawater before the tour ended. The fruit juice shop we recommended after was delicious!
川平湾は思ったより浅いのでSUPが万が一転倒しても溺れることはないです!私たちは二人乗りで挑戦して何度も落ちましたが、大丈夫でした!!泳ぎが苦手な彼が心配だった青の洞窟も、ゆっくり進んでいただけたので目的地まで無事いけました。最後は海水を落とすために少し冷たい滝のところでプカプカ休憩してツアーが終わりました。終わった後のオススメの果物ジュース屋美味しかった〜!
The day before, the wind was strong, and I was worried, but thanks to Ishigaki Island's unpredictable weather, it was cloudy on the day of the trip, yet the wind was calm.
I learned that the Blue Cave is popular, and while searching for it, I found that Pipi was the most popular shop, so I chose this plan.
While I was in the Blue Cave, the sun peeked out for a moment, and it left a strong impression on me how beautiful the cave became. I also got to try stand-up paddleboarding in the sea, which was fun as I could explore various places on my own.
前日まで風がつよくて、心配しましたが石垣島の天気の変わりやすさに助けられて当日は曇ってはいましたが風は穏やかでした。
青の洞窟が人気だと知って探していたらピピさんが一番人気のショップだったのでこちらのプランにしました。
青の洞窟にいるときに少しだけ太陽が見えて、洞窟の中がきれいになったのが印象に残りました。
海でサップもできて自分で色んな所に行けて面白かったです。
I participated in the Blue Cave, and my friend wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The weather was great at the Blue Cave, and the swimming area inside the cave was very beautiful. It was my friend's first time snorkeling, and we were able to see a large ray, which made our swimming experience enjoyable. The breeze during the SUP was refreshing, and the sea was beautiful, so we were happy that our guide took many photos of us.
私は青の洞窟、友人はSUPに乗りたくて参加しました。
青の洞窟は天気が良くて、洞窟の中にある泳げる場所がとてもきれいでした。
友人はシュノーケル初めてでしたが、大きなエイにも会えて2人で楽しんで泳げました。
サップは風が気持ちよくて、海もきれいだったのでガイドさんが私達の写真をたくさん撮ってくれて嬉しかったです。
I visited the Blue Cave a few years ago, but the weather wasn't very good at that time, so I thought I would like to come back someday. Honestly, I thought it wouldn't be much different from before, but when the sun came out, the blue of the sea was incredibly beautiful, so I'm glad I came. I also got to see some cute clownfish. Due to the unpredictable weather, I couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but the alternative mangrove canoeing was amazing!
青の洞窟は数年前に行ったのですが、そのときはあまり天気が良くなくいつかまた来たいと思い参加しました。
正直、以前と大して変わらないだろうと思っていましたが晴れると海の青さが段違いに良くなったので来てよかったです。
かわいいクマノミにも会えました。
天候不順で川平湾は行けなかったですが、代替のマングローブカヌーも最&高でした!
I wanted to come with a friend, but our schedules didn't match, so I participated alone. I was looking forward to seeing clownfish in the Blue Cave. When I got to the beach, the blue of the sea and the white of the sand exceeded my expectations and moved me. It's been a few years since I last went snorkeling, so I was helped by the guide's kind explanations. I recommend this for those who want to enjoy a day at a great value.
友達と来たかったんですが、予定が合わなくて一人で参加しました。
青の洞窟でクマノミを見るのが楽しみで参加しました。
砂浜に出ると海の青さと砂浜の白さが期待以上で感動しました。
シュノーケルは数年前にやって以来なのでガイドさんの親切な説明に助けられました。
お得に1日遊びたい方にオススメです。
The heat is indeed tough to bear. You need to be careful about the temperature difference between the bus and outside. Especially when moving around the aquarium, I recommend taking your time and resting while you explore. At Ryukyu Village, it's humid and there are a lot of insects, so insect repellent is a must.
やはり、暑さは堪えます。バスと外との温度差は気をつける必要あり。
特に水族館での移動は、ゆっくり、休みながら見学することを勧めます。
琉球村は、蒸し暑く、虫が多くいますので、虫除けは必須です。
Dear Mr. Malay Tiger,
Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour. We also appreciate your contribution to the experience review.
The summer heat in Okinawa is something that even those living here cannot get used to... The temperature differences between indoors and in the car can be quite extreme, so it is important to take care of your health. We will encourage our customers to be mindful of this in the future!
Thank you once again. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again.
Sincerely,
The Cerulean Blue Staff

We participated as a family of four. The highlight was definitely the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, where our elementary school children were very satisfied with the impressive whale sharks. As others have mentioned, I think it's a great tour because you can efficiently visit the attractions. The guide provided just the right amount of explanation, and even though it was our first time in Okinawa, we had a wonderful time.
家族4人で参加しました。
やはり目玉は、美ら海水族館で小学生の子供達はジンベイザメの迫力に大満足でした。他の方も書かれていますが、効率良く名所を巡れるのでお得なツアーだと思います。ガイドさんの説明も適度にあり、初めての沖縄でしたが、非常に楽しめました。
Dear Takuyu,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We also appreciate your sharing of your experience.

I went snorkeling for the first time on my trip to Okinawa! I was a bit anxious at first since I had my 9-year-old and 7-year-old with me, but the staff were incredibly kind and guided us well, so the kids weren't scared at all. At the second spot, we encountered a sea turtle and were able to swim with it, which made the kids extremely happy! They said it was their best memory!! I want to participate again!!!
初めての沖縄旅行で、シュノーケリングに挑戦しました!
9歳と7歳の子供を連れての参加で最初は少し不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんが非常に親切に誘導してくださり、子供達も特に怖がることもありませんでした。
2箇所目のポイントでウミガメに遭遇し、一緒に泳ぐことができて、子供達は非常に喜んでいました! 一番の思い出になったと言っています!!
また、参加したいです!!!
Dear Takuyu,
Thank you very much for participating in our one-day snorkeling tour the other day.
It was your first trip to Okinawa, wasn't it? The waters around Kerama are so clear and the fish are colorful! I hope you didn't get bored while snorkeling!
We are also happy that you could participate in the activities with peace of mind. I'm glad you were able to encounter sea turtles and create wonderful memories.
Please come visit us again when you come back to Okinawa. All of our staff are looking forward to your next participation.

I participated with my elementary school-aged child. I wanted to expose my indoor child to nature, so I joined this tour. To be honest, I was worried about whether they would enjoy it, but they had a great time. The snorkeling in the Blue Cave was especially exciting because we could see the fish up close, and my child was thrilled! I hope this encourages them to take on more challenges in the future.
まだ小学生の子供と参加しました。普段からインドアなうちの子を自然に触れさせてみたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
正直楽しんでくれるか不安だったのですが、すごく楽しんでくれました。
特に青の洞窟でのシュノーケルは魚がすごく近くで見れたので、子供も大興奮でした!
これを機にどんどんいろんなことにチャレンジして欲しいです。
Our guide, Mr. Oshima, was from Okinawa and had a very kind way of speaking. He also played the sanshin, which was really nice. Thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy our time many times more! I'm grateful.
ガイドの大城さん、沖縄の方でとても優しい語り口で、三線も弾いてくださり、すごく好感が持てました。ガイドさんのおかげで何倍も楽しく過ごすことができました!感謝です
Dear Tae-chan,
Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour. We also appreciate your posting of your experience.

I was only asked to apply and submitted the application, so I haven't actually gone on the bus tour, but everyone who did said it was really great. It seems that the bus guide, Yukie Gajino, provided an excellent tour. They mentioned that if she were the guide again, they would want to go back. Thank you for making it a fun tour!
私は申し込みを頼まれ申込をしただけなので、実際バスツアーには行っていませんが、行った人皆凄い良かったと言っていました。バスガイドの「がじのゆきえさん?」という方の案内が凄く良かったようです。あの方に案内してもらえるならまた行きたいと言っていました。楽しいツアーにして下さりありがとうございました!!
Dear Aiko,
Thank you very much for booking our bus tour. We also appreciate your posting of your experience.

I came to Ishigaki Island to try stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, and I was blessed with great weather—it was truly fun! I could see the seabed clearly, and the guide patiently taught me, a beginner in paddleboarding. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and it was a view I could watch forever! I will definitely come back to Ishigaki Island!
川平湾でのサップボードをしたくて石垣島にきたのですが、天気にも恵まれ本当に楽しかったです!!
海底が透けて見えましたし、ガイドの方がサップ初心者の私に丁寧に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルでは色鮮やかな魚がたくさんいて、ずっと見てられる景色でした!!
また石垣島に遊びにきます!
I was really anxious because I don't have good athletic skills, but by the end, I was able to stand up! ^_^ Thanks to the guide's instruction. Thank you very much. I immediately recommended it to my friends. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to it. And thank you, Takagi!
運動神経が全然良くないので不安だったのですが、最後には立てるようになりました^_^
ガイドさんの指導のおかげです。
ありがとうございました。
友達にも早速オススメしました。
また機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします。
そしてタカギさんありがとう!
Since I got tired of island hopping, I decided to participate in an activity. I had always wanted to try kayaking, so I joined this plan that offers kayaking in Kabira Bay.
Kayaking in Kabira Bay was wonderful, but I realized how much fun snorkeling is! I found myself wanting to swim in various places and I might completely get hooked on it!
島巡りも飽きたので、アクティビティに参加することにしました。カヤックを一度やりたかったので、川平湾でカヤックできるこのプランに参加しました。
川平湾でのカヤックも素晴らしかったのですが、シュノーケリングの楽しさに気づいてしまいましたw
色んな場所で泳ぎたくなってしまい完全にハマりそうですw
We participated as a family of three!
Thanks to our talented bus guide and the safe driving of our driver, it was a comfortable and very enjoyable bus tour!
For lunch, we had a light meal in front of the Kuroshio tank at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium while watching the sea animals. The graceful swimming of the whale sharks and manta rays was truly impressive. I'm glad we finally got to see this.
Since we were a bit slow, it took time to secure our reserved seats at the restaurant, and by the time we got to the dolphin show, there were only standing spots without shade available. It was scorching hot, and with kids in tow, we were worried about heatstroke, so we gave up on it.
If you plan to use the restaurant, I recommend going straight to apply for reserved seats in front of the tank as soon as you arrive. That way, you might be able to watch the dolphin show from a shaded area.
We were able to efficiently visit the highlights, and overall, it was a very satisfying bus tour. Thank you!
親子三人で参加しました!
芸達者なバスガイドさん、
安全運転の運転手さんのおかげで
快適でとても楽しいバスツアーでした!
お昼は
美ら海水族館の黒潮の水槽前で
海の動物達を観ながら
軽食を食べました。
ジンベイザメやマンタの優雅な泳ぎは
やはり圧巻でした。
こちらは念願かなってよかったです。
もたもたしていたので
レストランの指定席をとるのに
時間がかかってイルカショーは
ひさしのないところでの
立ち見席しかなくカンカン照りで
あった上子供連れなので
熱中症がこわくて諦めました。
レストランを利用するならば
到着してまっさきに
水槽前の指定席を申込みに行くと
イルカショーはひさしのあるところで
観覧できるかもです。
効率的に名所巡りができましたし
総じて大満足のバスツアーでした。
ありがとうございました!!

I had a great time that weekend morning. Not knowing what to expect I found the dive shop was casual and friendly and we soon went out to the dock for the boat ride. The boat was packed with divers, while I was going to snorkel with a few others. They have many guides, so there was no problem.
The blue cave is very nice. When you get close to it, the boat stops, you plop in the water and swim towards the cave following the floating ring towed by the guide. The cave and environs are pretty busy with divers, and it's a good thing for snorkelers that they all go underwater! Good thing for them too that the volume of the ocean can easily handle their larger numbers compared to the snorkelers on the surface. Saw many coral, and fish, and feeding the fish is fun. Those little things are pretty deft - they will eat their bread pieces from your hand but you can't catch them! The cave is nice and blue in spots, as promised, and the water is very clear. Even though it rained towards the end and on the way back, it doesn't change the cave experience. My guide was very nice and she took 79 pictures with her underwater camera which I received on a CD / DVD. They know all the right spots and poses to shoot for!
My advice is to park in the back in the middle spots (4, 5, 6). Wear your own sandals to the boat - you'll be more comfortable. Arrive in your swimsuit and bring a change of clothes and a towel. That's it, and you'll have a lot of fun!
Thank you very much for your review!
This is Mayu、who was in charge of the tour on tha day.
If you come to Okinawa again,please visit Boukenjima.
tank you very much!!
The guide's assistance was excellent, and we were able to share an experience beyond our expectations as a parent and child! The captain and the other team's guides were also kind. I definitely want to go again!
ガイドの方のアテンドも大変よく、想像以上の体験を親子で共有できました!
船長、ほかのチームのガイドの方達も親切でした。またぜひ行きたいです!
Dear Sannin,
Thank you very much for participating in our one-day snorkeling tour the other day. We are delighted that your child enjoyed it as well, creating wonderful memories for both of you (*^▽^*).

Please do come back to enjoy Kerama Blue again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Thank you very much for accommodating my last-minute reservation. I was really looking forward to the activities at Kabira Bay and snorkeling in the Blue Cave when I came to Ishigaki Island. I was very satisfied to be able to do both. The weather was great, and I was able to take a lot of photos, which was really nice. For anyone coming to Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend it!
ギリギリの予約にも関わらず、対応して下さって本当にありがとうございます。
石垣島に来たらやってみたかった川平湾でのアクティビティと青の洞窟シュノーケル。
両方できてとても満足です。
天気も良く、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて本当良かったです。
石垣島に来る方、是非オススメです!
The weather was very nice, and both the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling were fantastic. We were able to take a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much to the man who guided us for the day.
P.S. The mango shop you recommended was also amazing.
天気もとても良く、サップもシュノーケルも最高でした。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、とても良い思ひ出になりました。
1日ガイドして下さった男性の方、本当にありがとうございました。
p.s.おススメしていただいたマンゴーのお店も最高でした。
I was glad to hear the guide's fun stories and information about Okinawa! It was great to learn about things that I might have missed just by researching on my own!
ガイドさんの楽しいお話や沖縄についての話が聞けて良かったです!
調べるだけでは見逃してしまうところも知れて良かったです!

A total waste of money. You aren’t allowed to swim without either wetsuit or life jacket. I got so overheated and sick that I had to sleep all afternoon when I got back. The tour guides act like they don’t even want to be there. They should make exceptions for people who are good swimmers. What was the point of having us sign liability waivers if they make us suffer in wetsuits?
Thank you for having taken your time to provide us with your valuable feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience.
All the guest is required to swim with a wetsuit or life jacket for safety reason.
We will pass your message to the coach, your feedback will help us to continually improve the standard of services.
This was my second time participating. Given that it was right after a typhoon, I was worried about the unstable weather, but I was glad we could safely enter the Blue Cave. My husband, my fourth-grade niece, and I had a private tour with a super cool guide. We were lucky in that regard, but he also called my niece by name throughout the tour and took dozens of photos, showing not only a friendly demeanor but also an incredibly high level of hospitality. During snorkeling, he accurately answered our little questions, allowing the adults to enjoy it as well. My niece seemed to really like Shoma, the guide. I was also happy to see the boss who helped us last time. Next time, I plan to bring my younger niece, who is currently not very comfortable in the water, so I appreciate your support.
2回目の参加です。
台風直後ということもあり不安定な天気で心配でしたが、青の洞窟にも無事に入ることができてよかったです。
夫と小4の姪っ子と3人で超カッコいいガイドのお兄さんを貸し切りでした。そんなラッキーもありましたが、終始姪っ子を名前で呼んでくれたり、何十枚も写真を撮ってくれるなど、気さくなだけじゃなく非常に高いホスピタリティーを感じました。
シュノーケリングの間、私たちのちょっとした質問にも的確に答えていただくなど、大人も十分楽しめました。
姪っ子もショウマお兄さんのこと、とっても気に入ったようです。
最後に前回お世話になったボスにもお目にかかれて嬉しかったです。
次回は今のところ海が苦手な下の姪も連れて行きますのでよろしくお願いします。
This was my second bus tour on Ishigaki Island.
The weather wasn't great on the day, but we didn't get caught in the rain at all.
I chose the morning tour again because I thought it would be nice to have an interesting guide.
The tour route was as follows:
Gathering at Higashi Transportation Bus Terminal ⇒ Tour of Tōrin-ji Temple (view from the bus) ⇒ Tomb of the Chinese ⇒ Nagura Bay (view from the bus) ⇒ Kabira Park (you can ride a glass-bottom boat for a fee) ⇒ Yamabare Ranch and Poza's Table (lunch) ⇒ Yaeyama Palm Grove in Yonaha ⇒ Tamatorizaki Observatory ⇒ New Nannū Island Ishigaki Airport ⇒ Mangrove Forest of Miyara River (view from the bus) ⇒ Dispersal at Higashi Transportation Bus Terminal.
The tour lasted from 9:30 to about 14:00.
As always, the guide's stories were enjoyable, and they even sang at various points, so I was never bored.
We rode the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, but unfortunately, due to rough seas that day, we couldn't go to the sea turtle point. However, the water was clear otherwise, and we were able to see sharks, so I had a good time.
For lunch, it was the same as before, a self-proclaimed mini hamburger made with Ishigaki beef (I’m not a big fan of hamburgers, so I wasn't too happy about it).
This tour allows you to visit various places without having to drive yourself, and it's great for families to enjoy together.
If I could be picky, I think it would be nice to have a few more routes to choose from for future visits.
二度目の石垣島島内バスツアーです。
当日はお天気が今一つでしたが、終始雨に降られる事もありませんてした。
今回も話しの面白いガイドさんが良いと思い、午前中のツアーにしました。
ツアーのルートは、以下の通り。
東運輸バスターミナル集合⇒桃林寺 (車窓)⇒唐人墓⇒名蔵湾(車窓)⇒川平公園(有料でグラスボートに乗れます)⇒ヤマバレ牧場・ポーザーおぱさんの食卓(昼食)⇒米原のヤエヤマヤシ林⇒玉取崎展望台⇒新・南ぬ島石垣空港⇒宮良川のヒルギ林 (車窓)⇒東運輸バスターミナル解散
9:30から約14:00までのツアーです。
相も変わらずガイドさんの話しは楽しいですし、所々でお歌も披露いただき、退屈する事はありませんでした。
川平湾でグラスボートに乗りましたが、この日は海がしけていた事もあり、ウミガメのポイントには行けず残念でしたが、それ以外では海も濁っておらず、シャークも見られたので、それなりに楽しめました。
昼食は前と変わらず、自称石垣牛のミニハンバーグ(笑)です(私はハンバーグが余り好きではないので嬉しくない)。
このツアー、自分で運転する事もなく各所を巡って貰え、家族でワイワイしながらで良いですよ。
贅沢を言うとあと何ルートかあると再訪した時に選択の幅が増えて良いかなぁって思います。
The last northern bus tour was to the Oishi Forest Mountain, so this time I decided to try the tour to Kouri Island.
The route is as follows:
Kouri Island ⇒ Tropical Dream Center ⇒ Okashi Goten ⇒ Manzamo ⇒ Ryukyu Village
I had the option of visiting the Churaumi Aquarium or the Tropical Dream Center, and I chose the Tropical Dream Center.
I have been to the Churaumi Aquarium several times in the past, and it tends to be crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the exhibits. Additionally, the dining areas are also busy, and given the time constraints of the tour, there’s a risk of not being able to eat.
So, I opted for the Tropical Dream Center.
In the end, it was a great choice. There were fewer people, and I enjoyed the rare tropical plants and fruits, as well as an insect exhibition.
I climbed the lookout point (a circular building) that was featured in the main tour photos, where I could see the entire Ocean Expo Park and enjoy the scenery.
There were really few people, and I could take my time viewing the exhibits without feeling rushed, and the dining area was also peaceful and not crowded.
However, I was a bit disappointed that there were limited menu options, as I wanted to try Okinawa soba.
I heard that you can eat it if you go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but it's far from the Tropical Dream Center.
The Tropical Dream Center left a lasting impression on me, and it was unexpectedly good.
The tour felt more like a central bus tour than a northern bus tour, to be honest.
I hardly went to the north (laughs).
前回の北部バスツアーは、大石林山のツアーだったので、今度は、古宇利島のツアーにしてみました。
ルートは以下の通り。
古宇利島⇒熱帯ドリームセンター⇒御菓子御殿⇒万座毛⇒琉球村
熱帯ドリームセンターは、美ら海水族館との選択で、私は、熱帯ドリームセンターを選択した次第です。
美ら海水族館は、過去に数回行った事がありますし、人も多く混雑していて落ち着いてみている事が出来ないですし、食事場所も混雑している上にツアーの時間的な制約もありますので、食べられないリスクもあります。
と言う訳で熱帯ドリームセンターの選択をしました。
結果的に大正解で、人も少なく珍しい熱帯植物や果実、また、昆虫展もあったので、大分楽しめました。
ツアーのメイン写真に使われていた遠見台(円形状の建物)にも登り、海浜博公園全体が見通せ、景観を楽しみました。
本当に人が少なく、展示物もゆっくり観ることも出来、食事場所も混雑とは無縁でゆったりと出来ました。
ただ、沖縄そばとか食べたかったので、メニューの選択肢が少なかったのが残念です。
美ら海水族館の方に行けば、食べられるそうですが、熱帯ドリームセンターからは遠いですからね。
ツアーで記憶に残ったのがこの熱帯ドリームセンターで、思いの外良かったです。
ツアーは、北部バスツアーと言うよりは、中部バスツアーと言った方が正確なのかなぁ。
北部にはほぼ行ってない(笑)。
Dear Jun,
Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour. We also appreciate your sharing your experience.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time exploring Okinawa. We will share your kind words with our team. If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to join us again.

Thank you so much for accommodating our last-minute reservation! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and we saw so many fish we had never seen before! During the tour, I was the most excited and may have caused some trouble, but you always greeted us with a smile! Thank you for your support with the sudden booking!
前日に急遽、予約したのに私たちのわがままに対応して頂いて本当にありがとうございました!
海がとにかく綺麗で見たことのない魚がいっぱい見れました!
ツアー中も1番はしゃいでしまって迷惑掛けっぱなしにも関わらず、常に笑顔で接してくださいました!
急な予約でご対応していただきありがとうございました!
It had been forecasted to rain all day, but I was relieved when it turned into a beautiful sunny day! It was the most beautiful sea I have ever seen! I was a bit anxious about my first snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding experience, but since it was a small group, I was able to enjoy it comfortably with constant support. I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the great nature of Ishigaki Island for the whole day. Thank you very much.
ずっと雨予報だったのですが、当日は快晴に変わりホッとしました!
今まで見てきた中で1番綺麗な海でした!
人生初めてのシュノーケリングにスタンドアップパドル体験で不安でしたが少人数での開催でずっと付き添って頂けたので安心して楽しむ事ができました。
1日のんびり石垣島の大自然を満喫する事ができて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。
We were informed the day before our scheduled visit that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to an approaching typhoon. Although we were disappointed since we had come all this way, we switched to snorkeling and participated instead.
The staff who guided us took us to hidden spots along the way, took lots of photos, and even told us about the sea turtle nesting areas, which made the time spent traveling enjoyable as well. ☆ They also took many photos during snorkeling, so we downloaded them and quickly created our own album! Our spirits were lifted! ⤴︎⤴︎
Next time, we definitely want to participate when there are no typhoon impacts.
The staff were very kind and taught us how to use the facilities, and even though it was a short time, we had a really fun experience! (The changing room in the facility was spacious, making it easy to change into wetsuits!)
Thank you very much.
私達が申し込みしていた日は台風接近の為予定していた青の洞窟には行く事が出来ないと前日にご連絡いただきました。
せっかく来たのだからと気落ちしていましたがシュノーケリングに切り替え参加させていただきました。
引率してくれたスタッフの方が途中隠れスポットに寄り沢山写真を撮ってくれて海ガメ産卵場所を教えてくれたりとシュノーケリング以外の移動中も楽しく過ごせた事が良かったです☆
シュノーケリング中の写真も沢山撮っていただいていたのでダウンロードし早速自分達のアルバムを作りました‼︎
気落ちしてた気持ちも上がりました⤴︎⤴︎
次回は是非台風の影響の受けない頃に是非参加させていただきたいです
またスタッフの皆さまとても親切に施設の使い方等も教えていただき短い時間ではありましたがとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました‼︎
(施設内の更衣室が広くウェットスーツに着替えをしやすかったです‼︎)
ありがとうございました。

The plan for the sea kayaking and snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave was changed to snorkeling at the beach due to the impact of the typhoon. They were flexible and adapted to the situation at that time.
The briefing from the guide before the tour was easy to understand for the children (ages 8 and 7). Although it was cloudy and quite windy, the waves were minimal, visibility was decent, and there were quite a few fish. The guide made various arrangements, allowing the whole family to enjoy the sea. They also took many underwater photos and later sent them to us via a LINE album. Although the tour content was changed, it still turned out to be a satisfying experience.
シーカヤック&青の洞窟シュノーケルのツアーの予定が、台風の影響でビーチでのシュノーケルに変更。その時の状況によって臨機応変に対応してもらいました。
ガイドさんからのツアー前のブリーフィングは、子供(8歳と7歳)にも分かりやすい説明でした。曇っていて風も強かったのですが、波はほとんどなく透明度もまずまずで魚も結構いました。ガイドさんが色々と工夫してくれて、家族みんなで楽しみながら海を満喫しました。また水中の画像をたくさん撮ってくれて、あとでその画像をLINEのアルバムで送ってくれました。ツアー内容は変更となりましたが、それでも満足したツアーとなりました。
I wanted to visit various islands in a short period, so I decided to enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in one day and signed up for a one-day package tour!
I was impressed by the beautiful, clear sea while snorkeling!
On the stand-up paddleboard, I felt like I was floating on the water!
The guide took many wonderful photos, and it truly became a great memory.
短期間で色んな島に行きたかったので、1日で石垣島の大自然を満喫しようと思い1日パックツアーを申し込みさせていただきました!
シュノーケリングは透き通ったキレイな海に感動しました!
supでは海の上に浮かんでるような気分でした!
ガイドのお兄さんが素敵な写真をいっぱい撮っていただき、本当にいい思い出になりました。
