All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

The sea was colder than I expected, but I was glad to see rockfish and clownfish! I thought the staff took great care of the children, making it enjoyable for everyone!

海が思ったより冷たかったですが、カサゴやクマノミが見れて良かったです！
子供の面倒見も良くて誰でも楽しめると思いました！

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see beautiful scenery due to the cloudy weather, but I was able to see a very clear sea. I also encountered a sea turtle and had a great time.

曇りでの運行でキレイな景色を見ることができるか不安でしたが、とても透明度の高い海を見ることができました。ウミガメにも逢え良い気分で時間を過ごす事ができましたー。

We participated in a mangrove kayaking and snorkeling tour in Ishigaki Island as a couple.

We were blessed with good weather, and we were able to feel the beauty of nature in the mangrove forest, which was a calming experience. The quiz provided by our guide during the kayaking was also fun!

Unfortunately, due to the poor weather the day before, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but instead, we had plenty of time for snorkeling, and it was truly moving to see sea turtles swimming gracefully up close! The colorful fish were also very beautiful.

Throughout the activity, our guide was friendly and provided great recommendations for lunch, allowing us to participate in the tour with peace of mind and enjoyment!

This pleasant time spent in nature is a treasure for us. I highly recommend experiencing this tour!

Please make sure to wear clothes that can get wet or dirty!

石垣島のマングローブカヤックとシュノーケリングツアーに夫婦で参加させて頂きました。

天候にも恵まれ、マングローブ林では自然の美しさを感じることができ、心が穏やかなひと時となりました。
カヤック中に出されたガイドさんのクイズも楽しかったです！

残念ながら前日までの天候が優れなかったため、青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、その分シュノーケリングに時間をたっぷり取って下さり、優雅に泳ぐウミガメを間近で見ることが出来て本当に感動しました！
色とりどりの魚たちもとても綺麗でした。

アクティビティ中はもちろん、ランチのお店のおすすめなど、終始親しみ易くガイドしてくださり、安心して楽しくツアーに参加出来ました！

自然と共に過ごした この心地よい時間は私たちの宝物です。
このツアーは是非体験して頂きたいと思います^^

濡れたり汚れても大丈夫な服装で参加して下さいね！

It was unfortunately rainy on December 29, 2023, but it seems that winter in Ishigaki Island often has bad weather. I realized that having two sunny days out of the three I was there was quite lucky. On the first day (December 26), there was an unexpected water outage, so the large public bath was unavailable. However, when I returned from dinner, the water supply had been restored. This time, I couldn't dive into nature due to the rain during the bus tour, but I plan to aim for a day with good weather for my next visit. Well, I'll be back! ♪

2023/12/29(金)あいにくの雨でしたが、冬の石垣島は悪天候が多いようで、3日いた内に2日晴れ居るのはラッキーな方だと云うことがわかりました。初日(12/26)は急遽断水という事で大浴場もアウトだという事でしたが夕食に行って帰って来たら、断水が解除されていました。今回のバスツアーは雨で自然の中に飛び込むことは出来ませんでしたが、次回は天候の良い日を狙って再トライします。では、また来ます♪

Canoeing and snorkeling were both amazing. Especially since my first snorkeling experience was on a winter rainy day with kids, I felt nervous about getting into the water, but once I put my head under, I couldn't stop laughing. It was incredibly fun and became a cherished memory. The guide was especially kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the ocean, which made it the best experience.

カヌーもシュノーケリングも最高でした。
特に初シュノーケリングが子供連れの冬の雨の日だったので緊張で海に入るのも迷った感じでしたが、海に頭を入れてからすぐ笑いが止まらない状態になったです。すごい楽しく大事な思い出となりました。特にガイドの先生は優しくて専門的で本当に海が好きな方で最高でした。

I was able to tour and sightsee in the northern part of Okinawa in just one day! I could visit tourist spots around Nago at a reasonable price! I went to Manzamo, Kouri Island, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park, and Okashi Goten, and not only did I enjoy sightseeing, but I was also able to buy souvenirs! Although I didn't have meals included, I could eat at each tourist spot, so I was able to get around without any inconvenience! Thank you!

1日で沖縄北部を周遊・観光出来ました！リーズナブルな価格で名護周辺の観光地を周遊出来ました！万座毛, 古宇利島, 沖縄美ら海, ﾊﾟｲﾅｯﾌﾟﾙﾊﾟｰｸ, 御菓子御殿と観光だけでなく, おみやげ物も買うことが出来ました！食事は無かったですが,各観光地で食事が出来たので,不便なく回る事が出来ました！ありがとうございました！

Since you're looking down while using the glass boat, it's easy to get seasick. However, when I focused intently on the fish shadows, I was able to forget about that and enjoy the experience.

グラスポーとはやはり下を向いている状態なので、酔いやすい
とはいえ魚影を必死にみているとそれも忘れる感じで楽しめた

The staff was bright and friendly, leaving a good impression! It was fun to touch the unique creatures and plants of the mangroves and Iriomote Island while kayaking! The staff even showed us how to do a handstand on a SUP! It was amazing!!!! During the visit to Yubu Island, they provided a recommended route in advance, allowing us to explore efficiently! They also shared delicious restaurant recommendations and great sightseeing spots, making it such a wonderful place that I want to visit Iriomote Island again! Thank you for the lovely photos as well!

スタッフさんが明るく対応も良く好印象です！カヤックではマングローブや西表島ならではの生き物や植物に触れることもでき楽しかったです！スタッフさんがSUPで倒立を見せてくれました！凄かったです！！！！由布島観光ではおすすめの順路を事前に教えて頂けたので効率良く回ることもできました！美味しいご飯屋さんやおすすめ観光スポットも教えてくださりとても素敵な所だったのでまた西表島に行きたいと思いました！素敵な写真もたくさんありがとうございました！

On the day of the experience, the weather was not favorable, and due to strong winds, the blue cave snorkeling was canceled, leaving only the mangrove kayaking experience.

It was my first time kayaking, but the instructor guided us patiently on how to paddle and get on the kayak, so I was able to start without any anxiety.

Every group was able to keep up without feeling left behind, and we enjoyed a relaxed pace while learning fun facts about the mangroves, making it a wonderful day and a great memory in Ishigaki Island! At the end, they recommended a restaurant in Ishigaki Island, and after the experience, I actually had lunch there, which was incredibly delicious and impressive!

They also mentioned that they would refund the cost of the canceled snorkeling experience, which I think is an excellent response.

Experiencing the mangroves up close while listening to the sound of the flowing river and the chirping of birds is something unique to kayaking.

体験日当日は天候状態が思わしくなく、強風の為に青の洞窟シュノーケリングは中止でマングローブのカヤック体験のみでした
カヤックに乗るのは初めてでしたがインストラクターガイドの方がパドルの操作から乗り方を丁寧に教えてくださったので不安なく始める事が出来ました。

どのグループも置いてきぼりにならずゆったりとしたペースでマングローブの豆知識などを交えながら楽しい体験となって石垣島での良い思い出の1日になりました！
最後におすすめの石垣島の飲食店を教えていただいて、体験後に実際にお昼ご飯にそこお店を使わせていただいたのですが、とても美味しくて感動しました！

シュノーケリングが中止になった分の体験代の返金もしてくださるとのことで、そういった対応も申し分無いと思います。

川のせせらぎや鳥の鳴き声を聞きながら間近でマングローブを観れる体験はカヤックならではだと思いました。

The tour was not affected by the weather and covered everything. It rained quite heavily, but I felt very satisfied. I would like to participate again when I travel to Okinawa. Both the guide and the bus driver were great!

ツアー内容は天候に左右されず
すべて回ってくれ、
そこそこ強い雨だったが満足感が高い。
また沖縄旅行の時は参加したい。
ガイド、バスドライバー共に良かった‼︎

The departure location was easy to find, and it was helpful that there were enough umbrellas provided for everyone, even in the rain. I recommend this for those who want to efficiently circle the island without renting a car.

出発場所も分かりやすく、雨でも人数分の傘が用意されていたので助かりました。レンタカーではない旅行で効率的に島を一周したい方にオススメです。

I was able to participate without any issues as a solo traveler. The timing was just right, and the guide was polite and did a great job of keeping everything organized.

1人参加でも問題なく過ごすことができました。時間は過不足無く、ガイドの方も丁寧でしっかりと場をまとめていて素晴らしかったです。

I participated with my elderly mother.
We were able to efficiently tour Ishigaki Island, and it was convenient to drop off at Ishigaki Airport at the end.
It was a bit disappointing that the rice for lunch was cold.
In the end, we were able to listen to songs accompanied by the guide's sanshin, which became a wonderful memory.
I would recommend this tour to acquaintances who are going to Ishigaki Island.

高齢の母と参加しました。
効率よく石垣島を観光でき、最後は石垣島空港で降りれて便利でした。
昼食の、ご飯が冷めていたのが、ちょっと残念でした。
最後はガイドさんの三線と共に歌を聴けて、良い思い出となりました。
知り合いが石垣島に行く時は、お勧めしたいツアーです。

The bus meeting point was crowded with other buses, making it hard to find.
I couldn't listen to the audio guidance on my smartphone, so it would have been nice if it had been played inside the bus.
It would have also been helpful to be informed about the travel time to the destination.
I was very satisfied with the cost for the Churaumi Aquarium tour and dinner.

バスの待ち合わせ場所が他のバスと混雑しており、わかりづらいです。
スマホで音声ガイダンスが聴けないかったので、車内で流していただけたら良かったです。
また行き先までの所要時間なども伝えてくださればよかったです。
ちゅら海観光、ディナーまでの金額で大変満足しました。

We participated as a family of three, including my husband and daughter. In the morning, we enjoyed snorkeling, and in the afternoon, we had a plan to fully experience the nature of Ishigaki Island with SUP. We were excited about it from the day before! On the day of the tour, we gathered at Ishigaki Island Port at 9 AM. During the 30-minute transfer, we had a communication time with the instructor. When we arrived at the location, the weather was great, and we quickly changed into our wetsuits! Even though it was December, the water was warm once we put on the wetsuits! The instructor explained that we could visit the rare "Blue Cave" due to the seasonal weather changes, which really got us pumped up.

We were able to walk to the Blue Cave. While filming a video, the three of us jumped into the sea from a rock together! I was a bit scared, but my husband and daughter jumped in confidently and seemed to be having a great time. I was a little scared, haha. The videos and photos taken at that moment turned out beautifully, and I've watched them many times.

Finally, we went underwater! When I put on my goggles and looked into the sea, I could see beautiful fish and corals. Miraculously, we encountered a baby sea turtle, and everyone was thrilled! In the afternoon, we paddled through a mangrove-lined river on the SUP. The mangrove roots formed a tunnel, and it was a very magical experience as we lay on the SUP and enjoyed the scenery.

As we got more comfortable, we spontaneously held a "dive festival" by jumping into the river from the SUP. My husband, even in December, jumped in multiple times without feeling cold at all. It was such a fun and free experience! At the end, we were guided to a free shower room. Both instructors were bright and charming, which kept the atmosphere enjoyable throughout the day. During the tour, the instructor filmed points with a GoPro, which was greatly appreciated. Despite their busy schedule, they sent us the footage that night, giving us many wonderful memories.

This was my third time in Ishigaki Island, and once again, we had a fantastic experience, making it the best family trip ever.

Thank you very much!

主人と娘の3人で参加しました。
朝はシュノーケリング、
午後からはSUPと石垣島の自然を満喫できる
プランで前日からウキウキしてました♪
当日は9時に石垣島港集合。約30分の移動中は、
インストラクターの方とコミニケーションタイム。
現地に到着すると天気も良く早速ウエットスーツに着替えました！
海の中は12月なのに、
ウエットスーツを着れば全然暖かい！
今の季節は天候の変化でなかなか行ける事がレアな
「青の洞窟」に行けますよとインストラクターの方から説明がありテンションアップ⤴︎
青洞窟までは歩いて行く事ができました。
動画を撮ってもらいながら岩の上から3人で一緒に海に向かってジャンプ‼️
私はちょっと怖かったのですが、主人と娘は全然平気しっかりジャンプして楽しそうでした。
私は少しだけ怖かったです笑
その時撮ってもらった動画・写真はとても綺麗で
何度も見返しています．
待ちに待った海中へ！ゴーグルを付けて海の中を覗くと、きれいな魚やサンゴを見る事ができました。
なんと奇跡的に子供の海亀に遭遇でき、
参加者皆、歓喜してました♪
午後からのSUPはマングローブのしげる川をを進んでいきました。マングローブの根っこがトンネルのようになっており、そこをSUPに寝そべりながら進んだり、
周りの景色を見たりしてとても幻想的な体験でした
慣れてくるとSUPから川へ飛び込むドボン祭り❓勝手に開催❓石垣島は12月でも全く寒くないのか主人は
何度もバカになり飛び込んでました。
※自由な体験ほんと楽しかった‼️
最後には無料のシャワー室を案内して頂きました。
インストラクターの方は、2人とも明るく、チャーミングなので、一日中良い雰囲気で楽しませて頂きました。
ツアー中はインストラクターの方がポイントをGoProで撮影してくれてましたので、大変それも有り難かったです。忙しい中、当日夜には送って頂き、思い出を沢山いただきました。
石垣島は3度目ですが、今回も素敵な体験ができ
最高な家族旅行になりました。

ありがとうございました。

The meeting place was easy to find (I think other tours have similar locations as well), and the time allocation afterwards was just right. The steak wasn't delicious, so I think it was unnecessary.

集合場所もわかりやすく（他のツアーも同じような場所とは思う）　その後の時間配分もちょうどよし。　ステーキは美味しくなかったので不要かと思います。

I'm glad I was able to visit various places. The weather was nice for November, and I was able to see a beautiful sea. The guide's attentiveness was wonderful, and it was great that they were flexible with changes to the drop-off location. Thank you for the enjoyable time.

色んな所を回れてよかった。
この日は11月にしては天気が良く綺麗な海が見れました。ガイドさんの気配りも素晴らしく、降車場所の変更等柔軟な対応をされていて良かった。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I participated in canoeing and snorkeling. The guide was kind and attentive to all participants, which made it enjoyable.

In canoeing, I had fun seeing plants up close in the mangrove area and exploring caves.

It's best to participate in a style that allows for getting wet, as I think you'll end up with a wet bottom.

It seemed like we could choose between canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding, so it was fun to see other participants doing stand-up paddleboarding up close.

Also, the snorkeling in the Blue Cave area was canceled due to the wind, and we had to snorkel in a different area, which was disappointing. However, I was still satisfied to see the underwater scenery, tropical fish, corals, and sea snakes, so I’m glad I participated.

カヌーとシュノーケリングに参加しました。
ガイドの方も親切で、参加者全員に気配りをしてくださっていて楽しめました。

カヌーは、マングローブがあるエリアで近くで植物を見たり、洞窟を見たりして楽しめました。

参加したら、お尻は濡れてしまうと思った方が良いので、濡れても良いスタイルでの参加が良いと思います。

カヌーと、サップを選べたようだったので、他の参加者さんが、サップをされていて、その様子を近くで見れたのも楽しかったです。

また、シュノーケリングは、青の洞窟のエリアは風の影響で中止になり、別のエリアでのシュノーケリングになり残念でしたが、それでも、海底の景色や、熱帯魚やサンゴ、ウミヘビなどめた見れて満足出来たので、参加して良かったです。

I found this activity while searching for mangrove SUP and decided to join! Not only was there SUP, but also the Blue Cave and snorkeling, making for a very fulfilling day! Both the mangroves and the sea were beautiful, and I was thrilled to see a sea turtle by chance! Even though it was December, we were blessed with good weather, and the guide was very kind and entertaining, sharing a lot about Ishigaki Island during the car ride. I was very satisfied! I definitely want to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island! ☺︎

マングローブSUPでたくさん探している中で見つけて参加しました！
SUPだけでなく青の洞窟、シュノーケリングと内容も盛りだくさんでとっても充実した１日を過ごせました！
マングローブも海もとても綺麗で、たまたまウミガメが見れたこともとても嬉しかったです！
12月でしたがお天気にも恵まれ、ガイドの方もとても親切でお話も面白く、車の中で石垣島についてたくさん話してくれて大満足です！
また石垣島に行くときには、是非参加したいと思いました☺︎

The guide was friendly, and I was able to have a great time. The folk songs performed touched my heart and became a wonderful memory of the trip.

ガイドさんがフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。演奏をしながらの民謡が心に染み、旅の良い思い出になりました。

This was my fourth time in Ishigaki Island, but it was my first time participating in a tour. I was really looking forward to going to the Blue Cave, so it was disappointing that we couldn't go, but instead, we were taken snorkeling at the beautiful beach of Kabira Bay. My wife, who is not comfortable putting her face in the water, received great support, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I was very moved to see so many beautiful fish. In the afternoon, we experienced SUP, and the wide ocean felt wonderful, allowing us to spend a relaxing time. The transportation was on time, and they shared many stories about the island during the ride. They took many photos during the tour and even gifted us the data, making it a very satisfying experience. I will definitely use this service again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

4回目の石垣島でしたが、ツアーに参加したのは初めてでした。今回とても楽しみにしいた青の洞窟に行かれなかったのが残念でしたが、その代わりに川平湾の綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリングに連れていっていただきました。夫婦で参加でしたが、水に顔をつけるのが苦手な妻をしっかりサポートしていただき安心してシュノーケリングができました。綺麗なお魚をたくさん見る事ができてとても感動しました。午後はSUPを体験し、広い海が気持ち良く、ゆったりとした時間を過ごさせていただきました。送迎も時間どおりで、移動中もたくさん島のお話しをしてくださいました。ツアー中にお写真を沢山撮っていただきデータもプレゼントして下さり大満足のツアーでした。また石垣島に来た際は利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

Freshly made sata andagi at Manza Beach, wine at Pineapple Park, the stunning views of Kouri Island, the aquarium's visit duration was just right, and the cakes at the Churaumi Snack Castle were delicious (it would have been nice to have tea or coffee as well). Each spot also had restroom breaks, so I was able to enjoy the bus trip with peace of mind.

　万座毛の出来たてのサーターアンダギー　パイナップルパークのワインに蝶　古宇利島の絶景　水族館の滞在時間も丁度よいし　お菓子御殿のケーキはおいしい（お茶か珈琲もあったら良かった）スポットごとにトイレ休憩も兼ねているので安心してバス旅を堪能できました　

My child wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I made a reservation. However, I thought it might be a long journey just to go there, which could be tiring for my child (since we have a 2-year-old), so we joined this tour that allows for various stops along the way.

At the Nago Pineapple Park, there were many dinosaur models. It was impressive, and my child was very excited! Of course, the pineapples were also exquisite. After that, we stopped by the beach, where we could collect seashells, and it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected.

Additionally, the bus guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and they even performed a song along the way, which was quite skillful. I felt like I got my money's worth.

As for the main aquarium, there was a distance from the tourist bus drop-off to the entrance, which took time for my child to walk. Including the time spent waiting for tickets near the entrance, it took about 30 minutes (round trip). Unfortunately, the free time we had at the aquarium was not a full 150 minutes, which was a bit disappointing.

子供が美ら海水族館に行きたいと言うので、予約しました。
ただ、そこだけとなると、道中長くて、子供がしんどいかな？と思い(2歳もいるので)、色々立ち寄れる、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
途中の名護パイナップルパークでは、恐竜の模型がたくさん。迫力もあり、子供は大興奮！もちろんパイナップルも絶品でした。
それからビーチに立ち寄り、貝殻拾いなどもできて、予想以上に楽しめました。
また、バスガイドさんの解説も大変わかりやすく、途中で唄を披露下さいましたが、お上手なこと。得した気分になりました。
メインの水族館ですが、観光バスの降り場から入口まで距離があり、子供の足では時間かかりました。また、入口付近でチケットを待つ時間等を含めると、約30分程は時間がかかりました(往復です)。水族館での自由時間が、正味150分ではなかったので、そこだけが残念でした。

It was a group with many foreigners, but Kim was a very skilled guide. The explanations were kind, thank you very much.

外国人の方が多いグループでしたがキムさんがとても上手にガイドしてくださいました。説明も親切でした、ありがとうございました。

It was very good! Thank you for guiding me to a great place. I hope to see you again next time.

非常に良かった！　goodな場所に案内をしていただきありがとうございました。またの機会があればよろしくお願いします。

On the day of the trip, the waves were high, so we couldn't reach the Blue Cave, but it was great to play with tropical fish near the coral. I started to feel seasick from the waves halfway through, but it turned into a good memory. Thank you to the instructor for kindly guiding us.

当日は波が高く青の洞窟まで行けませんでしたが、手前の珊瑚の所で熱帯魚とたわむれて良かったです。
途中から波に酔って気分が悪くなりましたが、良い思い出になりました。
インストラクターの方も親切に案内して頂き有り難うございました。

The guide was very cheerful and attentive, making the experience enjoyable throughout, and time flew by. They took a lot of photos for us, and even transferred the data to our smartphones for free, which made us very satisfied. Thank you very much. The cost performance was excellent, and I definitely recommend it!

ガイドさんが非常に明るく丁寧に対応して下さり、終始非常に楽しく、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。写真も沢山撮っていただけて、しかもデータを無料でスマホに転送してもらえ、大満足です。有難うございました。
コスパも最高で、間違いなくオススメです！

The tour was originally scheduled for a full day, but due to weather conditions, we could only go in the morning since we couldn't do the snorkeling at the Blue Cave in the afternoon. The kayaking was great, with beautiful sunlight reflecting off the sea. The instructor took a lot of photos for us, and we were very satisfied. This was my third time with Pipi Tours, and I can always trust them with the tour, so I’m definitely a repeat customer. Haha! Although this was a morning tour, I would like to join another tour when I visit Ishigaki Island again.

1日のツアー予定でしたが、天候の都合上午後の青の洞窟シュノーケルには行くことができない為午前中のみとなりました。
カヤックは天気も良く、海に日光が反射してとても綺麗でした。
インストラクターの方にも沢山写真を取っていただき大満足でした。
pipiツアーさんは3回目で毎回安心してツアーを任せられますので完全にリピーターです。笑
今回は午前中のツアーでしたが、また石垣島に行くときはツアーに参加したいと思います。

The weather in Ishigaki Island was windy and a bit concerning, but the sea was incredibly beautiful and it was the best experience. Snorkeling was enough; I was so moved by the clarity of the water that I felt like I could reach out and touch the fish. I'm glad I had this experience.

The mangrove tour was also relaxing and fun, and even older participants could enjoy it fully.

I was impressed by the tour photos. I thought they would be an extra cost, but they were included in the tour, allowing me to keep wonderful memories. I am filled with gratitude for our tour guide, Asuka.

Although I'm not young anymore, if I have the chance to go again, I would love for Asuka to be my guide. The quiz was very informative and interesting.

石垣島の天気は風が強く不安でしたが
海はとてもきれいで最高でした。
シュノーケルで十分、手を伸ばしたら魚に触れそうで海のきれいさにとても感動しました。
体験してよかったです。

マングローブツアーではカヤックものんびり楽しく高齢でも十分楽しめました。

ツアーの写真に感動です。別金かと思いきやツアーに含まれていて良い思い出として残すことができました。ツアーガイドのあすかさんに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

私は若くはないですが、また行ける機会があればあすかさんにガイドしてほしいです。
クイズがとてもためになりおもしろかったです。

When it comes to southern islands, Ishigaki Island is a must, along with its white sand and blue sea. A glass-bottom boat is essential. It was a relaxing boat trip, and the captain was entertaining, making for a healing moment with the scenery, fish, and sea turtles.

南の島と言えば、石垣島そして白い砂青い海欠かせないのがグラスボート。
ゆったりとした船旅で船長さんも面白く景色と魚とウミガメがコラボ癒しのひとときでした。
