All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The weather was cloudy, but the scenery was beautiful and the view of the sea was clear. They took photos from sources other than the drone, and at the end, they even made a video from the photos, which made me very satisfied.

天候はくもりでしたが、景色もよく海の中もよく見えました。
ドローン以外からも写真を撮ってくれたり、終了時には写真を動画にもしてくれていてとても満足です。

Although the weather forecast predicted rain until the day before, it turned out to be clear, and I was able to see a stunning starry sky. It seems that the weather forecast for Ishigaki Island is known for being unreliable.

The night sky viewed from Ishigaki Island is different from that seen from Honshu, making for a truly unique stargazing experience. Since the visible stars change with the seasons, I would love to visit during other seasons as well.

　前日まで雨予報だったものの、当日は無事に晴れて満点の星空を見ることができました。石垣島の天気予報は当たらないことで評判みたいですね。
　石垣島から見る夜空は本州から見る夜空と違うため、いつもと違う星空ですごくよかったです。
　季節によって見える星が違うため、他の季節にも行ってみたいです。

On the last day in Ishigaki Island, I enjoyed the afternoon course. The GoPro usage was explained in a way that even beginners could understand, and the instructors were very nice, making it a great trip. I was able to visit the Phantom Island and had plenty of fun in a spot with cute fish. There was also a turtle taking a nap, which was very adorable. While at the rocky area, it was quite difficult for an amateur to spot the camouflaged creatures, but the instructor keenly found them, and I was able to capture it on video. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

石垣島最終日、午後のコースで楽しませてもらいました。
GoProの使い方、初心者の方でもわかるレクチャー、またインストラクターさんたちもとてもいい人たちでいい旅になりました。
幻の島にも行けたし、可愛い魚のいる場所で充分楽しめました。
また、お昼寝中のカメがいてとても可愛かったです。
岩場にいると擬態でなかなか素人目では見つけにくいところ、インストラクターさんがめざとく見つけてくださり、動画に収めることが出来ました。
素敵な体験をありがとうございました！

I participated in a morning snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave and an afternoon SUP tour at Kabira Bay.

First of all, the guides were all cheerful and kept the conversation lively, making the atmosphere fantastic throughout the trip. They skillfully engaged the few groups of strangers, sparking discussions and expanding conversations. They shared interesting information about Ishigaki Island's tourist spots, recommended dining places, and even some trivia about the many residents who have moved there, making the time fly by.

Regarding the tours, the snorkeling at the Blue Cave was overwhelmingly stunning, making me realize just how beautiful snorkeling spots can be in Japan. The feeling of swimming alongside coral reefs and fish is something I can confidently say you can only experience here. Lucky participants might even encounter sea turtles.

The SUP at Kabira Bay offers a refreshing experience that is distinctly different from SUP activities in the Kanto area. The clear sea, shining sun, emerald green scenery, and open climate all score a perfect 100. If you're looking to chill, this is the best place to be.

I will definitely come back!

宿にお迎えからの、AM青の洞窟シュノーケリング、PM川平湾のSUPツアーに参加。

まずガイドのお兄さんたちがみなさん陽気で、移動もツアー中も飽きさせないくらい会話を弾ませてくれて、雰囲気が最高でした。

参加した2,3組の初対面の人たちをうまく巻き込み、話を振り、会話を広げる話術はさることながら、石垣島の観光名所やオススメの食事処、実は移住民が多いというプチトリビアまでタメになる話ばかりで時間をあっという間に感じさせてくれました。

本題のツアーに関しては、
青の洞窟シュノーケリングは、日本にここまで綺麗なシュノーケルスポットがあるのか、という圧倒的な驚きをまず実感します。珊瑚礁を間近に、魚たちと一緒に泳ぐ開放感、ここでしか味わえないと断言します。運の良い方はウミガメにも出会えることでしょう。

川平湾SUPは、SUPとは川平湾でやる行為だという事実を突きつけられるほど、関東近郊で行うSUPとは格別に異なる爽快感です。
透明感ある海、光り輝く太陽、エメラルドグリーンの景色、そして開放的な気候、全てが100点満点で、チルしたいならココが1番です。

また必ずいきます！

I received the location details the day before the tour and experienced it at Imugya Marine Garden. I participated with my 1 year and 10-month-old child, and they provided life jackets and paddles for kids, which made the experience very reassuring.

Perhaps due to the heavy rain the night before, we didn't see many fish, but we were guided to spots where we could see clownfish and damselfish, and we were able to view them while riding in a clear kayak. We also took a lot of photos and videos, which became wonderful memories!

I was also happy to receive the photos and videos right after the tour. The drone footage, in particular, was stunning and absolutely amazing! They edited the recorded videos and photos on the spot into a one-and-a-half-minute video, which was also very well done!

ツアー前日に開催場所を連絡いただいて、イムギャーマリンガーデンで体験しました。
1歳10ヶ月の子供を連れての参加でしたが、子供用のライフジャケットやオールも準備いただけ、安心して体験できました。
前夜の大雨の影響か、魚はそこまで多くは見れませんでしたが、カクレクマノミやスズメダイ等が見れる場所を案内してもらい、クリアカヤックに乗りながら見ることができました。
写真や動画も沢山撮ってもらえて、とても良い思い出になりました！
ツアー後に写真や動画をすぐいただけたのも嬉しかったです。
なかでもドローン映像は圧巻で、最高でした！
撮影した動画や写真をその場で編集して1分半程の動画にまとめてくださり、その動画もとても良かったです！

It was our first time canoeing as a family of seven, and although I was a bit anxious, our guide Ayu was cheerful and reliable, which made me feel at ease and allowed us to enjoy ourselves to the fullest! Thank you so much for letting us fully enjoy the wonderful time in Yaeyama!

初めて家族7人でのカヌー、少し不安もありましたが、ガイドのあゆちゃんが明るく頼り甲斐があり
安心して目一杯楽しませて頂きました‼️
楽しい八重山時間を満喫させて頂き、本当に有難うございました‼️

On May 4, 2024, we participated in a canoe mangrove experience with my son's family, including seven of us in total. We were able to connect with nature and it was very healing!

It was the first experience for the whole family, but the instructor taught us carefully, and we were able to enjoy it.

2024年5/4日に、カヌーマングローブ
体験、息子家族達、孫を含めて7人でツアーに参加し、自然に触れて、とても癒されました！

カヌーは、家族全員、初体験でしたがインストラクターの方が、丁寧に教えて下さり、楽しむ事が出来ました

Having half a day of free time was great. I was able to relax by the sea, and I even got to see sea turtles while snorkeling, which was wonderful. There are only three showers, so there was a bit of a wait, but I think that's to be expected.

半日フリータイムなのも良かったです。海でものんびりできたし、シュノーケリングして海亀も見られたし、とても良かったです。
シャワーが３つしかないので、ちょっと待ちますが、そんなものと思います。

We had a fantastic activity that was perfect for my parents in their 60s, and the whole family was very satisfied! We got to experience the beautiful scenery and ocean of Miyako Island, and at the end, we received wonderful videos and photos as a gift, which everyone loved. The guide was also very clear and attentive in their explanations, making it a memorable experience.

60代の両親を連れていけるアクティビティで、家族全員大満足でした！宮古島の綺麗な景色と海を体感できて、最後に素敵な動画・写真もプレゼントしてもらい、みんな喜んでいました。ガイドの方もわかりやすく丁寧に教えてくださり、楽しい思い出になりました。

We participated as a family, including elementary school children.
In the canoeing activity, we were taught how to paddle and navigate the course, allowing even the kids to paddle smoothly and explore the mangrove river with confidence.
During the lunch break, which lasted about an hour and a half, it would be effective to plan whether to spend time at the hotel or around the terminal, including lunch.
We swam reasonably well while snorkeling, and even those who couldn't swim much, including a child who started to tire, were able to hold onto floats and reach the Blue Cave while enjoying the colorful fish. It seemed to be a day with high water clarity, and we were able to see many fish, including clownfish, which was fantastic.
The staff were all polite and efficient, and they provided information about the highlights and dining options in Ishigaki Island, which was very pleasant.
The children, who love living creatures, were very satisfied with experiencing the nature of Ishigaki Island firsthand.
The service of taking photos at key points with a waterproof camera and sending them to participants later was also great.

小学生の子ども含む家族で参加しました。
カヌーは、漕ぎ方やコース取りを教えてもらい、子どもでもすいすい漕ぐことが出来て、安心してマングローブの川を探検出来ました。
昼休憩は、1時間半位あったので、ホテルで過ごすか、ターミナル周辺で過ごすか、ランチ含め想定しておけると、有効に過ごせると思います。
シュノーケルは、それなりに泳ぎましたが、あまり泳げない人も、途中でバテ始めた子どもも浮きに掴まらせていただいて、色とりどりの魚を眺めながら青の洞窟まで辿り着く事ができました。海の透明度が高い日だったようで、クマノミはじめたくさんの魚が見られて最高でした。
スタッフの方は皆さん丁寧でテキパキされていて、石垣島の見どころや食事どころも教えていただき、とても感じがよかったです。
生き物好きな子ども達は、石垣島の自然を肌で体験し、大満足でした。
要所要所で防水カメラで写真を撮って、後から参加者に送ってくださるサービスも良かったです。

The day before had heavy rain and strong winds, so I was worried about what would happen, but it was clear and sunny on the day! From check-in to the end, the staff were very kind, and I got along well with the other participants in the tour; it was the best time! While in the sky, I felt like I was enjoying this view all to myself. Thank you very much to all the staff!

前日が大雨と風が強い日だったので、どうなるか心配でしたが、当日は快晴でした！
受付から終わりまで、スタッフのみなさんに親切にしていただき、同じツアーの参加者の方々とも仲良くさせていただき、最高の時間でした！
空にいる時間は、この景色をひとりじめしていたような気分になりました。
スタッフのみなさま、本当にありがとうございました

The guide shared in the joy of each creature discovered by the children and provided thorough explanations. Exploring with a flashlight in the dark was exciting not only for the kids but also for the adults, and it was truly enjoyable. I was surprised to encounter many more creatures than I had expected. The children were thrilled to touch a snake and finally see their long-awaited coconut crab and habu snake. The starry sky was beautiful and moving! Thank you very much.

子どもが発見した生き物一つひとつにガイドさんが一緒に喜んでくださり、丁寧に説明して下さいました。暗い中ライトを持って探検するのは子どもだけでなく大人もワクワクできて、本当に楽しかったです。思っていたよりたくさんの生き物に出会えてびっくりしました。子どもも蛇に触れたり、念願のヤシガニやハブを見つけて喜んでいました。星空もきれいで感動しました！！ありがとうございました。

The last time I came, I couldn't see any coconut crabs, but this time I saw plenty! The two guides worked hard to find various creatures for us. It was heartwarming to see how they were trying to entertain us, the tour guests. I also noticed that they were considerate of the few children present, making this a highly recommended tour for families. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and I believe that's thanks to the two guides. Thank you very much!

前回来た時はヤシガニが見られなかったのですが、今回はたくさん見られました！
ガイドのお兄さんおふたりが色んな生き物を一生懸命さがしてくださりました。
ツアー客の私たちを楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わってあたたかい気持ちになりました。
また、数人いらっしゃったお子さんにも配慮しているのがわかり、ファミリーにとてもおすすめのツアーだと思いました。
皆さんとても楽しそうでした。それもガイドさんお二人のおかげだと思います
ありがとうございました。

In early May, I used the facility with my mother and boyfriend. The time was shorter than I expected, but we had a great time! The shower room was old, but it was usable.

5月上旬、母と私と彼氏の3人で利用しました。
思ったより時間が短めでしたが楽しかったです！シャワー室も古いですが使えました。

I participated with my 4-year-old child.
Exploring the jungle path, which was more lush than I had imagined, while light rain fell, was very exciting.
We were able to see and touch a beautiful starry sky, a large hermit crab, some rare insects, and even a coconut crab, which we were lucky to encounter.
I thought it might be a bit hard for my child, but they were completely absorbed in the exploration and never got bored until the end, making it enjoyable for both of us.
The guides were also very supportive and attentive until the very end, which was truly wonderful.

4歳の子連れで参加しました。
想像以上に葉がうっそうと茂るジャングルの小道を、小雨も降りながら暗闇を探検してとてもワクワクしました。
綺麗な星空に、大きなヤドカリ、珍しい虫、運良くヤシガニまで見て触らせてもらえました。
子どもには少しハードかなと思いきや、最後まで飽きることなく夢中で探検していて親子で楽しめました。
ガイドの方々も最後まで丁寧にサポートしてくださって、本当に良かったです。

We were able to see various creatures like crabs, gobies, and mongooses, and each time we received explanations, which made the elementary school children very satisfied. We also thoroughly enjoyed passing under the mangroves.

カニ、ハゼ、マングース等いろんな生き物に会え、その度に説明していただけ小学生の子供たちも大満足。
マングローブの下をくぐるのも大変楽しめました。

I had a great time on my first mangrove kayak tour! The explanations from the tour instructor were interesting!

初めてのマングローブカヤックとても楽しかったです！
ツアーのインストラクターの方の説明が面白かったです！

We went canoeing! Since we were able to paddle slowly, we could also take our time to look at the water! I was torn between stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, but I think choosing canoeing was the right decision! We were able to see fish like Nemo, as well as many other fish and coral, which made for great memories! The people on stand-up paddleboards looked like they were having fun too, so honestly, I think you can enjoy either option! The sunlight was very strong, so sunscreen is a must! The staff were very kind, lending waterproof cases for phones and taking pictures for us! I definitely want to go again when I visit Miyako Island! It was a wonderful experience that made me feel this way!

私たちはカヌーに乗りました！
ゆっくり漕ぐことができたので水の中もゆっくり見ることができました！サップと悩んだのですがカヌーして正解だと思いました！
ニモみたいな魚、他にも沢山の魚、サンゴを見ることが出来たので思い出になりました！
サップに乗ってる人達も楽しそうだったので正直どっちに乗っても楽しめると思います！
日光はとても強かったので日焼け止めは必須です！
携帯の防水ケースの貸し出しをしていたり、写真を撮ってくれたりでスタッフの方々はとても親切な方々でした！
また宮古島にきた際は行きたい！そう思わせてもらえる優雅な時間でした!

I gave it four stars because the weather was bad. I was worried because it was raining, but the event went on. The boat swaying with the waves felt like an attraction, and the children participating were happy about it. It was about a 10-minute ride, but it seemed some people got seasick. The guide was kind, and with one guide for the three of us who signed up, we received thorough explanations. They were also good at taking photos. Feeding the fish was my first time, and it was interesting and captivating. I felt like I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

天気が悪かったので星4つ。
雨が降っていたので、心配したけど、開催。
船が波で揺れるのがアトラクションみたいで、他に参加していた子供だとも喜んでいました。
10分程度の移動ですか、中には船酔いした方もいたようです。
ガイドさんも親切で、申し込んだ3人にガイドさん1人で、色々と丁寧に教えてもらいました。
写真撮影も上手。
魚の餌やりは、初めてで、面白くて、夢中になりました。
また機会があれば参加したいと感じました。

I was worried about the weather on the day of the experience, but I received a call in advance to carefully adjust the time and meeting details. Thanks to the thorough guidance before the experience, I was able to participate with peace of mind on the day!

During the experience, there were times when it rained, but the staff took us to a place where we could shelter from the rain, and they even thought about situations where the drone couldn't be flown, with other staff members taking photos from the cliffs. The service was exceptional. Additionally, since it was a clear SUP rather than a regular one, it made it easy to see the fish, creating wonderful memories.

Although my sister and my one-year-old son, who were traveling with me in Miyako Island, couldn't participate in this experience, the staff played with my son to ensure he had fun while my sister and her husband were experiencing it. I realized that the staff truly prioritized the enjoyment of the guests, even providing services that weren't typically included.

After the experience, I received the drone footage and photos, which became wonderful memories that I can look back on anytime! Thank you very much!

当日天気が微妙でどうなるか心配してましたが、事前に電話をいただき時間や集合時間など丁寧に調整いただきました。体験前からここまで丁寧に案内していただいて当日も安心して臨めました！
当日体験をしてる最中、雨が降ってしまった時間もありましたが担当の方が雨宿りできる場所に連れてってくださったり、ドローンが飛ばせないケースも考えて担当のスタッフ以外の方々が崖から撮影してくださったり至れり尽くせりのサービスでした。また、通常のSUPではなくクリアSUPだったため体験中、魚を見やすくとても素敵な思い出となりました。
また、一緒に宮古島を旅していた姉と一歳の息子はこの体験はできませんでしたが私と姉の旦那さんが体験している間、スタッフの方が息子が楽しめるように一緒に遊んでくれたり、通常のサービスには含まれていないことだとは思いますが、ゲストが楽しめることを一番に考えてくださってるスタッフの方々なんだなと実感しました。
体験後は撮影したドローンや写真をいただき、いつでも振り返られる素敵な思い出となりました！
本当にありがとうございました！

On the day of the tour, there was a heavy rain forecast from the day before, so I thought it would surely be canceled. However, miraculously, it stopped just 30 minutes before we started!

The location was not revealed until the day before, but since Miyako Island is small, I think any beach would be relatively close. That day, we were at Ingyamarine Garden.

Even though the rain had stopped, it was still cloudy, so we couldn't see much underwater from the clear kayak, but the water was very clear, and we could see fish just by looking down! The staff also provided detailed information about spots with tropical fish.

Additionally, the staff took many photos for us, so we were happy to have lots of pictures that we wouldn't have been able to take ourselves. At the end of the tour, we received an edited video and photos mixed together, taken with a drone, and I was amazed by the high quality!

I would love to try again on a sunny day.

ツアー当日は前日から大雨予報で、きっとこれは中止だろうと思っていましたが、開始30分前に奇跡的にやんで決行！

開催場所は前日までわかりませんが、宮古島は小さい島なのでどこのビーチでも割と近いと思います。
その日はインギャーマリンガーデンでした。

雨はやんでいても曇天ということもあり、クリアカヤックからはそこまで水中は見えませんでしたが、海の透明度が高く上から除くだけで魚が見えました！
熱帯魚がいるスポットもスタッフさんが細かく教えてくださいます。

また、スタッフさんが写真もたくさん撮ってくださるので、自分たちだけでは撮れない写真がたくさん残せて嬉しかったです。
ツアーの最後にはドローンで撮影した動画と写真を混ぜて編集したものまで頂けて、そのクオリティの高さにびっくりしました！

晴れた日にまたリベンジしてみたいなと思います。

I participated with my mother. I was a bit anxious because I'm not good at swimming, but we were divided into small groups and guided, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! I would love to join again on our next trip!

母と2人で参加させていただきました。
泳ぎが苦手なので不安もありましたが、少人数のグループに別れてガイドしていただけたため、安心して楽しむことができました！
次回の旅行でもまた参加させていただきたいです！

Last year, when I participated in a snorkeling tour, I received very attentive service from PiPi, so I decided to repeat it this time. I was surprised that the kayak guide was the same Mahiro as last year.

The kayaking had to be cut short due to sudden bad weather, but I appreciated the concern for everyone's health. It was disappointing not to see the sunrise, but I would like to participate again next time.

As for snorkeling, the weather changed dramatically from the morning to a very nice day. I was truly amazed at how quickly the weather can change in Ishigaki Island. The guide, Misaki, worked hard to find sea turtles, and I was moved to see the cute sea turtles. I was a bit worn out towards the end, possibly due to the fatigue from the previous day and the early wake-up, but I felt reassured because they checked on my condition multiple times during the tour.

Additionally, they provided various information about restaurants and other places, which was very helpful as I was able to visit some of them.

When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would like to use PiPi again. Thank you!

昨年シュノーケリングのツアーに参加した時にPiPiさんですごく丁寧に対応していただけたので、今回リピートすることにしましたが、カヤックのガイドさんが昨年と同じマヒロさんでびっくりしました。
カヤックは天候が突然崩れ途中で切り上げることになりましたが、参加者のみなさんの体調を気遣っていただきありがたかったです。サンライズが見れず残念でしたが、次の機会にまた参加してみたいです。
シュノーケリングは、朝の天気から一転、とても良い天気になりました。本当に石垣島の天気は変わりやすくてびっくりです。ガイドさんのミサキさんが頑張ってウミガメを見つけてくれて、かわいいウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。前日の疲れと朝の早起きが影響してか、終わりの方は少しバテてしまいましたが、途中何度も体調確認していただけたので安心して参加出来ました。あとご飯屋さんとかいろんな情報を教えてくれて、実際に行ったりも出来たのでとても助かりました。
また石垣島に来る時は、PiPiさんを利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

The clear kayak experience, where you can see to the bottom of the ocean, was very mystical, and I had a lot of fun with this first-time experience. Unfortunately, we were caught in the rain along the way, but the instructors were very flexible and accommodating, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Additionally, at the end, they filmed us with a drone and even created a video, making it a perfect 100-point tour! If I have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, I definitely want to try other activities like stand-up paddleboarding!

海の底まで見えるクリアカヤック体験はとても神秘的で、初めての経験ができてすごく楽しかったです。途中であいにくの雨に見舞われてしまいましたが、インストラクターの方々が柔軟に対応してくださったのでとても楽しむことが出来ました。また、最後にはドローンでの撮影もしていただき、動画まで作っていただき大満足100点満点のツアーでした！また宮古島を訪れる機会があった際には、サップ等の別のアクティビティも是非体験してみたいと思いました！

I was able to fully enjoy both the mangroves and the sea. Although I only had one full day to stay, I think it was a great plan to enjoy the natural beauty of Ishigaki Island. The staff were kind and shared various recommendations for shops and spots in Ishigaki. I would like to try another plan when I visit Ishigaki Island again.

マングローブと海の両方を満喫できました。丸一日滞在できる日が1日しかありませんでしたが、石垣島の大自然を楽しむにはとてもよいプランだと思います。スタッフの方も親切で石垣のおすすめのお店やスポットを色々教えてくださいました。また石垣島に行く際には別のプランも体験してみたいです。

The staff were all very kind and taught us with great care, and many of them were very interesting people, making it a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

お店の方、みなさんが優しく丁寧に教えてくださった上、とても面白い方が多く最高の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

I participated with my 5-year-old son.
On the way there, my child got a bit fussy, but the guide was kind and attentive.
Although the weather was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, we encountered many seaside creatures.
We saw the coconut crab ten times!
We also met several types of crabs and hermit crabs, which got my son very excited.
The guide not only taught us the names of the creatures but also their behaviors, which was very educational.
At first, my son was in a bad mood, but the guide did a great job of cheering him up, and we had a lot of fun.
On the bus ride to and from the tour, the guide shared many stories about Ishigaki Island and recommended spots to visit.
I was also happy that they took family photos during the tour.
If I have the chance to come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to participate again.
Thank you, Mi-chan!

5歳の息子と参加しました。
行く途中に子供がグズってしまいましたが、ガイドさんが優しく丁寧に対応してくださいました。
お天気が曇りであった為、星空は見れませんでしたが、たくさんの海辺の生き物に遭遇することができました。
ヤシガニには10回も遭遇することができました。
他にも複数種類のカニやヤドカリにも会え、息子は大興奮でした。
また、生き物の名前だけでなく習性なども教えてくださり、大変勉強になりました。
最初はご機嫌斜めな息子でしたが、ガイドさんが上手に盛り上げてくださり、とても楽しめました。
行き帰りのバスでも石垣島の話やオススメスポットをたくさん紹介してくださいました。
また、ツアー中に家族写真を撮ってくださり嬉しかったです。
また石垣島に来る機会がありましたらもう一度参加したいと思います。
みーちゃん、ありがとうございました。

The staff took a lot of photos for us, and they also edited them into a digital album along with the drone footage, creating wonderful memories.

スタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれまたドローンで撮影してくれたものと合わせデジタルアルバムに編集していただき、とても良い思い出になりました

The instructor is very kind and teaches well, so it's reassuring even for beginners. You might need a change of clothes since you get a little wet. You can also use the shower for free. They take beautiful photos and send them to you right away.

インストラクターのお兄さんが優しく教えてくれるので、初めてでも安心です。少し濡れるので、着替え等必要かなと思います。無料でシャワーも使えます。
写真も綺麗に撮っていただき、すぐに送ってもらえます。

In the morning, a shuttle bus from the hotel picked us up, and we spent the morning riding water buffaloes around Yubu Island. We enjoyed a leisurely 15-minute ride in a water buffalo cart while listening to the sounds of the shamisen and singing. After a one-hour lunch break around the port area, we experienced SUP or canoeing in the afternoon. On the calm waters, we were able to enjoy the magnificent mangroves with stable SUP boards, even as beginners. During the transfer, our guide shared various information about Iriomote Island, including the ecosystem and recommended restaurants. Since it was my first time on Iriomote Island, I’m glad I participated in this experience.

朝はホテルに送迎バスが迎えにきてくれ、
午前は水牛に乗って由布島巡り。
三味線の音色と歌声を聴きながら片道15分水牛車でのゆったりとした時間を楽しみました。
港周辺で各自1時間の昼食タイムを挟んだ後
午後からSUPorカヌー体験。
穏やかな水面で、初心者でも安定感のあるSUPで壮大なマングローブを楽しめました。
移動中は西表島についてガイドさんが色々教えてくださり、(生態系やおすすめの飲食店など)初めての西表島だったので、今回参加してよかったです。
