Due to the ocean conditions, we changed to a half-day SUP cruise on the Miyara River on the day of our visit. Paddling slowly through the mangrove forest was an emotional experience, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of nature. Our guide Hina from PiPi was also very knowledgeable about nature, and learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangrove trees was truly educational!

海の状況から半日のSUP宮良川クルーズに当日に変更していただきました。ヒルギの森をゆっくりSUPで流していくだけで、大自然の美しさや静けさが感動的でした。PiPiのガイドのヒナさんも自然の知識が豊富で、ヒルギの木の不思議な生態などホントの勉強になりました！

Hello, my children had a lot of fun, and they said they want to go again in the future. Thank you!

こんにちは、私の子供たちはとても楽しいかったです、今後とも行きたいと言う、、ありがとうございます、、

I was hoping to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to the weather, we ended up canoeing. Canoeing was easy enough for elementary school students to paddle, so both adults and children could enjoy it. I was satisfied that we could go to an area behind Kabira Bay that is usually inaccessible. The guide was friendly and it was really great.

川平湾SUPを希望していましたが、
天候の影響でカヌーになりました。
カヌーは小学生でも簡単にパドルを操作できるので大人も子供も楽しむことができました。川平湾の裏側という通常では行けないエリアにも行くことができて満足です。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでとても良かったです。

Snorkeling in the beautiful Miyako Blue sea was so much fun. The guide was very attentive and taught us well. We were able to see sea turtles and clownfish! The canoeing was combined with SUP, so the guide seemed to have a bit of a tough time.

宮古ブルーの海でシュノーケリング、とっても楽しかったです。ガイドの方も丁寧に教えていただきました。ウミガメ、カクレクマノミなども見ることができました！カヌーはSUPとの合同だったので、ガイドの方が少し大変そうでしたね。

The staff were kind and taught me how to swim since it was my first time snorkeling. I didn't experience any seasickness and was able to see sea turtles. Even as a couple in our 60s, we were able to enjoy ourselves, and I'm really glad we participated in the tour. Thank you for your help.

スタッフの方々は優しくてシュノーケルが初めての私に泳ぎ方を教えてくれました。心配してた船酔いも無く海亀も見れました。60代夫婦でも楽しむことが出来てツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。お世話になりました。

The weather forecast was uncertain, and I had been informed by phone that there might be a location change and that I might not see any sea turtles, so I went without much expectation. However, on the day of the event, I was guided by Yamachan, who is knowledgeable about sea turtles, and I was able to see them and take great photos! I also learned various interesting facts about sea turtles and got to see clownfish, which made me very satisfied! They checked on my health regularly, which made me feel at ease during the experience. I hope to participate again on a sunny day next time!

天気予報が微妙で、電話で事前に場所変更ともしかしたらウミガメ会えないかもとご連絡いただいていたのであまり期待せずに行ったのですが、当日ウミガメに詳しいやまちゃんにガイドしていただき、ちゃんとウミガメに会うことができ、しっかり写真も撮っていただけました！色々なウミガメに関する豆知識を聞いたりクマノミも見れて満足でした！都度体調悪くないか確認もしていただき安心して参加できました。次回は晴天の日に参加したいなと思います！

The guide was full of energy, and we had a great time participating. Not only did we learn about canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island, but the recommendations for the town were also interesting, and I took notes on everything, haha.

As a couple who went canoeing for the second time, we were a bit flustered, but with the encouragement of the guide, we were able to fully enjoy canoeing and the nature of Ishigaki Island.

Thank you for all the wonderful photos!

ガイドさんが元気いっぱいで、とっても楽しく参加させていただきました。カヌーや石垣島の自然の話しだけでなく、町のオススメなども面白く、全てメモしました笑

カヌー2回目の夫婦なので、あたふたしながらも、ガイドさんに励まされながら、カヌーと石垣島の自然を満喫できました

たくさんの写真もありがとうございました

We experienced kayaking at my son's request. My mother and elementary school daughter were a bit anxious, but even as beginners, we received careful instruction, making it a memorable family experience on our last day in Okinawa.

息子の希望でカヤックを体験しました。母と小学生娘は少し不安でしたが、初めてでも丁寧に教えていただき、沖縄最終日の家族の思い出になりました。

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, absolutely the best! Our guide, Hina, was amazing too!! It was my first time canoeing and I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy canoeing with peace of mind thanks to Hina's careful support and thoughtfulness.

Paddling through the calm river, I felt relaxed yet put in a lot of effort while canoeing. The sunset over the mangroves at Ishigaki was a breathtaking view that can only be seen here.

I really wanted to experience the mangrove canoeing, so I made a last-minute reservation for a ride and joined in the afternoon. During the ride, Hina shared a lot of information about Ishigaki, and I was able to chat and exchange information with the other participants.

It was so much fun! I'm really glad I could participate!

とってもきれいな夕やけサイコー！
ガイドのヒナさんサイコー！！
初めてのカヌー&1人参加でしたが、安心してカヌーを楽しめました〜。ヒナさんの丁寧なフォローと心配りに感謝、、です。
穏やかな川の流れのなかを、気分はゆったりでもけっこう一生懸命カヌーを漕いで笑、たどり着いた石垣の夕やけonマングローブはここでしか見ることのできない絶景です。
マングローブカヌーをどうしても体験してみたくて、当日お昼過ぎに急遽申し込み送迎付きでの参加。送迎車中でもヒナさんからたくさんの石垣情報をいただき参加者の皆さんともお話ししたり情報交換したり。
たのしかった〜！参加できてよかった〜！

It was a valuable experience that you can't have in a very urban setting. Although I couldn't see any living creatures during the winter, the starry sky was amazing. I was able to see many shooting stars as well.

とても都会では体験できない貴重な体験でした
冬場で　生き物は見れませんでしたが　星空が最高でした
たくさんの流れ星も見れました

Due to the weather, the snorkeling in the afternoon was moved to another beach. Safety first! It was a fantastic experience. We gathered at 1:30 PM at the red mailbox in the terminal. The guides from Adventure Pipi are all young, energetic, and speak English very well. I really liked it!

由于天气原因 风太大 把下午的浮潜换到了另一个沙滩 安全第一 非常棒的体验 13:30 在terminal的红色邮箱这里集合 adventure pipi的guide都很年轻 很有活力 会讲英语 很喜欢

It was my first experience with canoeing! At first, I couldn't paddle well, but I gradually got the hang of it.

Next, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)!

初めてのカヌー体験でした！
はじめは上手く進みませんでしたが、徐々に慣れてきました。

次はSUPに挑戦してみたいと思います！

I participated in SUP! I was very satisfied to experience the great outdoors!

A guide named Matsuko was in charge, and it was fun to hear a lot about Iriomote Island during the trip!

SUPで参加しました！
大自然を体感できてとても満足です！

まつ子さんという方がガイドを担当くださりましたが、移動中もたくさん西表島の話を聞けて楽しかったです！

The quality of the drone footage is amazing, and even now that the trip is over, I keep replaying it multiple times! I can take as many photos from my perspective as I want, but having someone capture the places I enjoyed from an aerial view is the best souvenir of all. The feeling of happiness being in such beautiful scenery, underwater, is incredible. The guides and staff were all very kind, and since it was just my daughter and me traveling together, we were able to create the best memories thanks to them. Thank you very much.

ドローン撮影のクオリティが素晴らしくて、旅を終えた今も何度も再生してます！
自分目線での写真撮影はいくらでもできますが、自分が楽しんでいる場所を俯瞰で撮影してもらえるのが何よりのお土産。
こんな美しい景色の海の中、自分たちがそこにいる、という多幸感、ハンパないです。
ガイドさんスタッフさん皆さん優しくて、娘とふたり旅だったのですが、おかげさまで最高の思い出をいただきました。
ありがとうございました。

I didn't rent a car, so it was great that they provided transportation to near the hotel where I was staying, and the facilities at the store and on the boat were very well-equipped. Although it was unfortunately cloudy, the water temperature was just right, and the sea was clear, allowing us to encounter turtles, which was truly moving! The staff who accompanied us were also very kind, and their consideration was wonderful. I will definitely rely on you again when I visit Okinawa.

レンタカーを借りなかったので、泊まっているホテル近くまで送迎してくれるのと、店舗や船の中の設備がとても充実していたのがすごく良かった。
あいにくの曇りだったが、水温はちょうど良く海も透き通って亀に出会えたのは感動！
同行してくれたスタッフの方々もとても親切で、気遣いも素晴らしかった。
また沖縄に行くときは、お世話になります。

Although the cloudy sky prevented us from seeing the stars, thanks to our guide Shotaro, we were able to encounter creatures like coconut crabs and scorpions. It was a very enjoyable tour.

曇り空で星空は見えませんでしたが、ガイドのしょうたろうさんのおかげで、ヤシガニやサソリといった生き物と遭遇することができました。とても楽しいツアーです。

We participated on the first day of Golden Week with our family of three! We gathered at 8 AM to start. After signing the consent form in the parking lot, we were given marine shoes and life jackets, and then we received an explanation before heading down to the beach.

It was our first experience with SUP, and I was a bit worried about whether we would enjoy it since we had a child with us, but the guide was incredibly kind, and I felt completely at ease without any tension! Even my 8-year-old child, who isn't very athletic, was able to stay on the board without falling off even once. The child was connected to the guide's SUP, so honestly, I could just relax and let them handle everything, which was really easy for me as a parent 😂.

It had been 10 years since our honeymoon in Okinawa, and this was our first time in Miyako Island, but it truly became a wonderful memory.

家族3人でゴールデンウィーク初日に参加しました！朝8時に集合でスタート。駐車場で同意書書いてマリンシューズとライフジャケットをつけてもらい、説明を受けてビーチまで降ります。

SUP初体験で、子連れだったので、楽しめるかやや不安だったのですが、ガイドさんがとっても優しくて、全く緊張せず安心して臨めました！！
運動苦手な８歳の子どもでも、一度も落水せずに乗らせてもらえました。
子どもはガイドさんのSUPにつないでいただけたので、正直、全部おまかせ状態で、親としてとっても楽ちんでした😂
新婚旅行以来10年ぶりの沖縄かつ初の宮古島でしたが、本当に良い思い出になりました。

I was able to efficiently tour the highlights of northern Okinawa, including Yanbaru National Park, Asmui Spiritual Hikes, and Cape Hedo. The seafood lunch was delicious and very satisfying. The guide did a great job speaking both Japanese and English. It seems that listening to the guide's explanations deepens understanding compared to going alone. It was amazing to see the endangered species, the Yanbaru Kuina.

沖縄本島北部の見どころであるやんばる国立公園、Asmui Spiritual Hikes、辺戸岬を効率良く観光できました。海鮮ランチは美味しくて大満足でした。ガイドさんは日本語と英語二刀流で頑張っておられました。個人で行くよりもガイドさんの説明を聞きながらのほうが理解も深まり良さそうです。絶滅危惧種ヤンバルクイナを見学できたのは最高でした。

The starry sky was beyond my imagination, and I was very moved. I want to come back just to see these stars again. I was also able to see plants and animals that can't be found in the city, and it felt like I was a child again, enjoying myself. I will participate again.

想像以上の星空で、とても感動しました。この星を見るためだけにまた来たいと思うほどです。他にも都会では見られない動植物を見ることができ子供に戻った気分で楽しむことができました。また参加します。

It was my first time doing SUP, and the guide was very attentive, making it a lot of fun. I will definitely use this service again when I go to Iriomote. They also took many photos, which became great memories.

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドの方の案内も丁寧ですごく楽しかったです。また西表に行った際は必ず利用します。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり思い出になりました。

I had a great experience with the sea turtle snorkeling! My guide was Yama-chan! He is a very cheerful and wonderful person! He provided detailed instructions and has a wealth of knowledge about sea turtles! Most importantly, he supports us to enjoy the experience! I've seen various instructors before, but I think he has a strong professional attitude! I especially recommend it for first-timers, as they can enjoy it with peace of mind!

There aren't many places where you can swim with sea turtles from the beach, so if you want to see sea turtles, this is a great option! However, if your main interest is in seeing coral and tropical fish, it might be a bit sandy. But I believe that what you learn from Yama-chan will connect to future experiences, so definitely give it a try!

海亀シュノーケルでお世話になりました！
担当は山ちゃん！
とても明るく、素敵な方です！
細かく教えていただけて、海亀の知識も豊富！なりよりこちら側が楽しめるようにサポートしてくれます！
今まで色んなインストラクターの方を見てきましたが、プロ意識のある方だと思います！特に初体験の方は安心して楽しめるのではないかと思うので、とてもオススメです！
ビーチエントリーで海亀と泳げる場所はそう多くはないと思うので海亀メインで見たい方、いいと思います！珊瑚や熱帯魚が見たい、がメインだと砂地になるのでどうかなー、と思うのも正直な所。でも、山ちゃんに教わったらその後にも繋がると思うので、是非！！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the rain, but exploring the mangroves on a SUP was a very enjoyable experience. We came on our honeymoon, and our guide was thoughtful enough to take some precious photos and videos for us. I want to try SUP back home; I can't wait to experience it again soon!

あいにくの雨でサンセットを見ることができなかったのですが、マングローブを探検するサップもとても楽しめる体験でした。
ハネムーンできたのですがガイドさんに気を利かせていただき、貴重な写真や動画を撮ってもらうこともできました。
地元でもサップをやりたいくらい、またすぐにでも体験してみたいです！

Initially, I was a bit anxious because there were strong winds and rain like a typhoon from early morning on the day of my participation, but I was able to join the snorkeling, which is less affected by the weather. In April, Okinawa has already opened its beaches, but due to the weather, it was cold before and after entering the sea. However, since they lent me a wetsuit, it wasn't too bad while I was in the water! The snorkeling took place at Shigira Beach, where the water was shallow and the waves were calm. It was my first time snorkeling, and since it had been a while since I last went to the sea, I struggled at first to get the hang of breathing (to be honest, I thought about giving up), but within a few minutes, I was able to enjoy looking around underwater. I was also wearing a life jacket, so I felt safe as long as I didn't thrash around too much. It was my first time visiting Miyako Island and Okinawa, and I was surprised to see corals and colorful fish even close to the shore. Thanks to the guide, I was very happy to encounter a sea turtle and a clownfish! The guide taught us about Okinawan fish (the Oya-biccha left a strong impression) and adjusted the pace for each person, which made my first snorkeling experience enjoyable and reassuring. We also took commemorative photos before entering the water, and they captured moments of us swimming and with the sea turtle. However, since I had to wear a life jacket and stay on the surface, it seems quite difficult to get the best shot with the sea turtle on the seabed unless you're really lucky!

As for the SUP, I was able to switch to an early morning slot the next day. The location was at Ingyamarine Garden, a bit further east from the previous day, in a calm bay. Meeting at 6 AM was quite challenging, but it was refreshing to slowly paddle along the quiet sea while watching the sunrise. I don't usually have a habit of exercising, but it was an activity that even beginners could enjoy enough to stand and paddle. We also took a lot of photos.

当初の参加日は明け方から台風みたいな強風と雨だったので少し不安でしたが、その日は天候に左右されにくいシュノーケリングだけ参加させてもらいました。4月の沖縄は既に海開きしていますが、天候が天候なので海に入る前と後は寒かったです。ただウェットスーツをお貸しいただけたので海に入っている間はそうでもなかったです！シュノーケリングはシギラビーチで行いました。遠浅の海で波も穏やかでした。シュノーケリングは初めてで、久々の海ということもあり、最初は呼吸のコツを掴むのに苦戦しましたが（正直リタイアしようかと思いました）、数分もすれば海の中を眺めるのを楽しめるようになりました。ライフジャケットも着ていたので、よほど暴れない限り溺れることもなく安心だったと思います。宮古島はおろか沖縄に来たのも初めてでしたが、陸に近いところでもサンゴや色鮮やかな魚が見られて驚きでした。ガイドの方が見つけてくれたおかげで、ウミガメとクマノミにも会えてとても嬉しかったです！ガイドの方は沖縄の魚（オヤビッチャというのが印象に残りました）について教えてくれたり、一人一人のペースを見ながら進行してくださったので、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが安心して楽しめました。写真も海に入る前に記念撮影をし、泳いでいるところ、ウミガメと一緒のところも撮ってもらいました。ただどうしてもライフジャケットを着て水面にいるので、海底にいるウミガメとベストショットを撮るのはよほど運が良くないと難しそうです…！

SUPの方は翌日早朝の枠が空いているということでそちらに移らせてもらいました。場所は前日からもう少し東に行ったインギャーマリンガーデンで、入り江になっている穏やかな海でした。朝6時集合でなかなか大変でしたが…日の出を見ながら静かな海をゆっくり進んでいくのは爽やかな気持ちでした。普段運動の習慣はありませんが、それでも立って漕げるくらいには初心者でも楽しめるアクティビティでした。写真もいっぱい撮ってもらいました。

The only disappointment was that it was cloudy, but the sun came out at the end; the weather can't be helped.
It was my first time paddleboarding, and I was a bit anxious, but they provided a thorough explanation of how to paddle and stand, so I was able to keep up without falling in.
It was fun to pass through the mangroves, even while struggling a bit.
Thank you, Tomo!

曇りだったのだけが残念、最後に太陽が出てきたけど、天気はしかたないですね。
SUPは初めてでちょっと不安でしたが、漕ぎ方立ち方の説明もきちんとしてくださったので、落水せず最後までついていけました。
つっかえながらでもマングローブの下を通り抜けられて楽しかったです。
トモさんありがとうございました。

My husband signed us up because he wanted to do it, but I, who dislike Ferris wheels, was terrified until the very last moment. However, once I actually did it, it was so much fun and became a valuable experience! The staff were also reliable, which helped me forget my fear! Thank you very much!

旦那がやりたくて申し込みしましたが
観覧車とか嫌いな私は、ギリギリまで怖くて仕方なかったです。でも実際やると、とっても楽しく、貴重な経験になりました！スタッフの方たちも頼もしくて怖さを忘れることができました！ありがとうございました！

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time, and I was truly moved. We also got to see many coconut crabs and other creatures, which had my son very excited! While it's not guaranteed that you'll encounter coconut crabs, the guides worked hard to find them, and we were lucky to meet a few. 😂

During the approximately 30-minute bus ride, we talked a lot and laughed a lot. It was about a 2-hour tour, but it was so much fun that I still find myself laughing when I think back on it! I hope I can come again. 🙌

こんなにキレイな星空初めて見てとにかく感動しました。ヤシガニも他の生き物もたくさん見れて息子も大興奮でした！
ヤシガニには絶対遭遇できるわけではないですが、ガイドの皆さん必死に探してくれて、数匹に出会えてよかったです😂
片道約30分間のバスの中でもたくさんお話してもらってたくさん笑って、約2時間のツアーでしたが、思い出し笑いしてしまうくらいずっと楽しかったです！また来れたらいいな🙌

Encountered a sea turtle during my first snorkeling experience.
The mystical Pumpkin Cave was a highlight.
I thoroughly enjoyed it thanks to the staff's attentive guidance.

シュノーケリング初体験でウミガメ遭遇
神秘的なパンプキン鍾乳洞
スタッフの丁寧なガイドにより満喫できました

This was my second visit to Miyako Island, following last year. This time, I participated in a sea turtle snorkeling tour. The instructor, "Yama-chan," was a wonderful young man with a lovely smile. He was great at communicating and, most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable about sea turtles, answering any questions we had. I joined a family with a young couple and their little daughter, and Yama-chan made sure everyone could enjoy the experience, keeping an eye on the daughter so the couple could have fun too.

As for me, I joined the tour with almost no swimming experience, and at first, I couldn't breathe at all. I thought it might be impossible to swim with the sea turtles… I felt a bit discouraged. However, following Yama-chan's advice, I managed to breathe and even got to take a commemorative photo with the sea turtles I had longed to see. It was amazing and moving to see the sea turtles up close. The clear, beautiful sea of Miyako Island and the adorable sea turtles made for a truly wonderful and enjoyable tour.

I owe this fantastic day to Yama-chan's excellent guidance. Thank you so much, Yama-chan! I created some wonderful memories.

去年に続き2度目の宮古島。今年はウミガメシュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
インストラクターの「やまちゃん」は笑顔が素敵な好青年。話も上手で、何よりウミガメについて凄く詳しく、何を聞いても答えてくれました。若いご夫婦と小さなお嬢さんのご家族とご一緒しましたが、お嬢さんはやまちゃんが見ているのでご夫婦もしっかり楽しんでくださいと、家族全員が楽しめるよう気配りもしていました。
私はと言えば、泳いだ経験がほぼない無謀な参加で、最初は全く呼吸ができず、ウミガメと泳ぐなんて無理だったのかもしれない…と落ち込みましたが、やまちゃんのアドバイスどおりやってみると、いつの間にか呼吸もできるようになり、念願のウミガメさんとの記念撮影もできました。こんなにウミガメさんを近くで見られるなんて驚きと感動でした。宮古島の澄んだ綺麗な海と可愛いウミガメに逢えて本当に素敵で楽しいツアーでした。
こんなに楽しい１日を過ごせたのは、一番はやまちゃんの素晴らしいガイドのおかげです。やまちゃん、本当にありがとう♪素敵な思い出ができました。

It was a wonderful experience!
The course allowed us to fully enjoy the rich nature of Miyako Island, and thanks to the guide's thorough explanations and kind support, we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
I was particularly moved by the beauty of nature that we don't usually get to see.
It was a tour that helped me rediscover the charm of Miyako Island.
I definitely want to participate again next time!

とても素晴らしい体験でした！
宮古島の豊かな自然を満喫できるコースで、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明と親切な対応のおかげで、安心して楽しめました。
特に、普段は見られない自然の美しさに感動しました。
宮古島の魅力を再発見できたツアーです。
次回もぜひ参加したいと思います！

The Pumpkin Cave was impressive. It was great to see the cave up close, and the guide's explanations were fun and interesting. During snorkeling, I saw three sea turtles and witnessed them surfacing for air for the first time. The day flew by, and it turned out to be a wonderful day. I would like to do this again.

パンプキン鍾乳洞は感動。間近で鍾乳洞を見られガイドさんの説明も楽しく興味深い話しで良かったです。
シュノーケルは、ウミガメも3匹も見られ、ウミガメの息つぎ、初めて見ました。
あっという間に一日が過ぎて楽しい一日になりました
またお願いしたいと思います
