Okinawa
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!
Dear Hiroko,
Thank you for using our tour service. We also appreciate your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you were satisfied on the day of your experience. We look forward to your next opportunity to use our tours.
Thank you.
The Staff at Cerulean Blue

また、体験談のご投稿有難うございます。
当日はご満足いただけたようで大変嬉しく思います。

有難うございます。
セルリアンブルー スタッフ一同
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。
Due to the slightly bad weather, it seems we were the only ones who made a reservation for the BBQ on the terrace. It was unexpectedly a private experience, which felt very luxurious! The staff member who assisted us was friendly and very funny, and we even took a commemorative photo together. When we mentioned that we had some extra time, he kindly guided us to the live show happening on the second floor. They also provided soft drinks on board, and the live show, which featured a solo performance, was wonderful! I would love to use this service again. Thank you, sir! But I'll hide my face because I'm shy, haha.
ちょっとお天気が悪かったため、テラス席でのBBQの予約が私たちしかいなかったそう。
まさかの貸切状態で、大変贅沢でした!
サービスにあたってくださったお兄さんが気さくでとても面白い方で記念に一緒に写真も撮って頂きました٩(๑⃙⃘˙ᵕ˙๑⃙⃘)۶
また、時間が余るねという話をしていたら、2階で行われているライブショーに案内してくださいました。
船内でもソフトドリンクを提供してくださり、またライブショーも弾き語りのようで素敵でした!
また利用したいと思います。
お兄さん、ありがとう!
でも、顔は恥ずかしいから隠しますね笑
Thank you very much for choosing to board with us from among many shops. I will definitely pass your kind words to the staff on board. The entertainer who performed on the ship is a well-known artist whose songs are also used in commercials from Okinawa. If you have the opportunity next time, please consider using the second-floor area where the entertainer performs. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は数あるお店の中からお選び、ご乗船頂き誠にありがとうございました。船内のスタッフに必ずお伝えします。嬉しいお言葉ありがとうございました。船内で演奏していたエンターテイナーの曲は沖縄のCMソングにも使われるなど、有名なエンターテイナーです。もし次の機会がございましたらエンターテイナーの演奏がある、2階のフロアのご利用もご検討下さいませ。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ちしております。
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。
整個活動體驗都非常好。工作人員熱心和專業的解說,令到整個活動都成為十分合適一家大小參與的活動。比較意想不到的是,以為只會跟一條海豚玩耍,原來會有兩條輪流。工作人員簡單英語的表達,令不懂日語的旅客都都明白活動要求和指令。場內設施也很齊備,只是更衣室、淋浴間和洗手間比較小,活動過後雲要等一下才可以用,但毛巾供應充足。活動期間也有專業攝影師幫忙影相,活動後也可以讓旅客自由決定購買與否,照片會錢也很相宜。這個活動十分推介為親子遊的活動
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。
Dear Teru Teru Bozu,
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! I am Mayu, the tour guide who was in charge on the day of your visit!
It was unfortunate about the Blue Cave, but please do come back to Okinawa and give it another try!
We will be waiting for you again at Adventure Island when you do!!
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the photos!
It was great to be able to assist everyone! We look forward to seeing you again! Thank you!!
てるてる坊主 様
大変嬉しい口コミありがとうございます!当日ツアー担当させて頂きましたマユです!
青の洞窟は残念でしたが是非また沖縄に来る機会があればチャレンジしに来て下さいね!!
その時はまた冒険島でお待ちしてますよ!!
お写真も喜んで頂けて良かったです!
皆さんの担当が出来て良かったです!!またお待ちしてます!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。
The day we arrived was forecasted to be rainy, but it turned out to be sunny. The ocean was very beautiful, and we were able to see many fish. The tidal pool was also very refreshing. It was my first time experiencing SAP, but the guide was kind and thorough in their explanations, so I was able to stand up right away. It was a wonderful experience to fully enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in just one day.
私たちが来る日が雨予報だったのですが当日晴れてくれました。
海がかなり綺麗でたくさんの魚が見れました。
滝つぼでの潮流しも気持ちかったです。
初めてのSAPでしたが優しく丁寧にガイドの方がレクチャーしてくださったのですぐに立てるようになりました。
石垣島の大自然を1日で満喫でき素晴らしい体験でした。
It was a day where I felt the kindness of the guide. Their language was polite, and I was also surprised by their strong ability to lead other guests. I heard they originally worked at Hoshino Resorts. It seems they were drawn to this place and changed jobs. I highly recommend Arai's guiding.
ガイドの方の優しさを感じる1日でした。言葉遣いも丁寧で尚且つ、他のお客さんを引っ張る力強さにもびっくりしました。元々星野リゾートにいらっしゃったとのこと。。
こちらのピピさんに惹かれて、転職されたらしいです。
新井さんのガイドは本当にオススメです。
They guided me to the bustling streets of Ishigaki Island, and the life jackets and marine boots needed for the marine leisure activities fittingly matched the name "paradise," making everything comfortable and stress-free without having to think about anything.
I especially enjoyed the Blue Cave. I did canoeing and played in the waterfall pool, but snorkeling in the Blue Cave was the most physically demanding, and as a result, I saw a lot of fish and had the most fun.
The Blue Cave is a popular spot, so it can get crowded, but stand-up paddleboarding over the spacious Kabira Bay was the best part, as it was a non-stressful experience without any interruptions.
I felt like I really got my money's worth with all the fun I had! Thank you for making me love Ishigaki Island even more!
石垣島の繁華街に案内してくれたり、楽園という名にふさわしいマリンレジャーに必要なライフジャケット、マリンブーツのサイズもぴったりでとにかく快適に何も考える必要がなくストレスフリーでした。
特に青の洞窟が楽しかったです。
カヌーをしたり滝つぼで遊んだりしましたが、青の洞窟シュノーケルは泳ぐので一番体力を使い、その分魚をたくさん見れて一番楽しかったです。
青の洞窟は人気スポットなので人がわちゃわちゃしてるんですが、サップは広い川平湾の上を誰にも邪魔されないノンストレスなところが最高。
こんなに遊べて得した気分になれました!
大好きな石垣島をもっと好きにしてくれてありがとうございました!
When we arrived, there were many other tour vehicles parked, which heightened our expectations even before we got there! The sea was beautiful, and there were plenty of fish swimming around, making it even more enjoyable than we had anticipated! I didn't want to miss out on Kabira Bay, and it was just as beautiful as I had imagined; I fell in love with it instantly. We had a packed experience, enjoying the view of the sea while swaying with the waves, taking breaks on the board, and standing up to enjoy the amazing location. At the waterfall basin, we swam up to the waterfall and had a refreshing splash of water over our heads, which felt great!
現地につくと他のツアーの車がたくさん停められていて、行く前から期待が高まりました!
海もきれいで魚もたくさん泳いでおり期待以上で楽しかったです!
川平湾は予定から外したくなく、思っていた通りキレイで一瞬で好きになりました。
波に揺られながら海を眺められ、ボードの上で休憩したり立って最高のロケーションを楽しめたりと盛りだくさんの体験ができました。
滝つぼでは滝まで泳いでいって頭から水浴びができて気持ちよかったです!
I participated in the half-day plan. In the morning, they picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to the port. It was farther from the island terminal than I expected, so I was glad I didn't have to go there on my own.
With 14 passengers and 3 crew members, we set off on a boat with a sunshade. They lent us seasickness bands at the start, and thanks to that, even though it was a day with high waves, no one got seasick until the end.
That day, the tide was higher than ever, and the phantom island was only partially visible. Since it was crowded with other tour guests, we decided to snorkel first and then go to the phantom island.
During the transfer, there was a snorkeling lesson, and they provided very detailed instructions.
Finally, we arrived at Ishigaki Coral Lagoon. There were colorful fish and blue and yellow corals! I even saw a clownfish! It was a bit disappointing that the visibility wasn't as high as I had hoped, but I still had a great time.
It was a bit chilly during the transfer after getting in the water, so it would be good to have a cover-up that can get wet.
And finally, we reached the phantom island.
After swimming a bit from the boat, we landed on the island. It was truly a beach-only island, and I was moved! Since the tide had receded more than in the morning and the number of tour guests had decreased, I was glad that RISE adjusted the plan according to the situation. I took plenty of photos for 30 minutes, lay on the sandy beach, and thoroughly enjoyed the phantom island. I didn't have the courage to dress up as a mermaid, but it looked cute when I saw others doing it.
The morning tour ended at 12:00, and they took us back to the hotel afterward.
You can have plenty of fun even with the half-day plan! They provided all the necessary snorkeling gear, tea, and seasickness bands, so all you need to do is wear your swimsuit and bring a towel while waiting at the hotel, which is convenient. The service was very polite, so I highly recommend it. Since the tide was too high this time, I would like to participate again during low tide.
半日プランに参加しました。
朝、時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、港まで送ってくれました。離島ターミナルからは思ったより離れた港だったので自力で行かなくて良かったです。
14名の乗客と3名のクルーが乗り込み、日除け屋根つきの船で出発。
出発時に酔い止めバンドを貸してくれました。そのおかげか、波が高い日でしたが最後まで誰も酔っていませんでした。
この日は今までにないほど潮が満ちていて、幻の島は少ししか出ていないそう。他のツアー客で混み合っているので、まずシュノーケルをして、その後に幻の島へ行くことになりました。
移動中にシュノーケル講習があり、細かいところまでとても丁寧に指導してくれました。
いざ石西礁湖へ。
色とりどりの魚や、青や黄の珊瑚!カクレクマノミもいました!透明度は思ったほど高くなかったのが残念でしたが、それでも充分楽しめました。
海に入った後の移動中は少し寒かったので、濡れてもいい羽織りがあると良さそうです。
そしてついに幻の島へ。
船から少し泳いで島へ上陸。
本当に砂浜だけの島、感動しました!
朝よりも潮が引きツアー客も減っていたので、状況をみながらプランを練りなおしてくれるRISEさんで良かったと思いました。
30分間思う存分に写真を撮り、砂浜に寝転がり、幻の島を堪能しました。
人魚のコスプレは勇気が出なくてしませんでしたが、見ていたら可愛かったです。
午前ツアーは12時に終了し、その後ホテルまで送ってくれました。
半日プランでも充分に楽しめます!
シュノーケルに必要な装備全てとお茶、酔い止めバンドも用意してくれ、水着を着てタオルを持ってホテルで待っていればいいので楽です。対応もとても丁寧なのでおススメです。
今回は潮が高すぎたので、引き潮の時にまた参加してみたいです。
I was looking forward to it, but since it was the day before the full moon, the moonlight was too strong and I couldn't see the stars well; it was no different from the starry sky at home. Also, I heard that a typhoon occurred, so in the second half, it was completely covered by clouds and I couldn't enjoy the stars at all.
期待してたのですが満月の前日だった為、月の光が強すぎて星が見えずらく、自宅の星空と変わりませんでした。
また台風が発生したとの事で、後半は雲に覆われて全く星を楽しむ事が出来ませんでした。
I participated in a trip to Ishigaki Island in late June. There were just under 10 participants, and 2 staff members provided us with thorough explanations about snorkeling. My wife, who is not fond of the ocean, forgot her worries because the sea was so beautiful and there were plenty of fish, so she had a great time. I think it's also recommended for beginners. There was a group with children, and in addition to life jackets, they were also provided with children's floaties. On the phantom island, we were able to rent mermaid costumes, which made my wife very happy. There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and the phantom island, and with some free time as well, we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Since we were scheduled to return on an afternoon flight, we used the shower at the office right by the port, and they also recommended a great place for lunch. I was a bit worried that the tour on the last day might be too much, but I’m glad I signed up as we were able to enjoy our Ishigaki Island trip until the very end. It seems there are various other tours available, so I would definitely like to use them again.
6月の後半に石垣島旅行に行った際に参加しました。参加者は10名弱でスタッフは2名ついてくださり、シュノーケリングの説明も丁寧にして頂けました。妻は海が苦手でしたがそんなことを忘れるくらい、海が綺麗で魚もたくさんいたので、楽しんでました。初心者の方にもおすすめだと思います。子連れのグループもいましたが、ライフジャケットに加えて、子供用の浮輪も貸してもらえてました。幻の島ではマーメイドの衣装を借りれて、妻も喜んでました。シュノーケリングも幻の島も時間には余裕がありま
すし、自由時間もあるので、十分楽しめます。午後の飛行機で帰る予定だったので、港からすぐのオフィスでシャワーを使わせて頂き、ついでに昼ごはんのおすすめ店教えて頂きました。最終日にツアーは大変かなとも思っていましたが石垣島旅行を最後の最後まで楽しめて、申し込んで良かったと思います。他にも色々なツアーがあるようなのでまたぜひ、利用したいです
I was captivated by the majestic nature of Kabira Bay without feeling the usual noise and stress of daily life. Standing on the SUP, the angle changed, allowing me to see the sea more beautifully from above, which was truly moving. Even though I was still in Japan, the atmosphere felt completely different; the sounds I heard were just the waves and the wind, and I realized I was experiencing a calmness that was the opposite of my usual feelings. I am deeply grateful for the nature of Ishigaki Island.
The Blue Cave was crowded with other people, but the laughter and joyful atmosphere made it not bothersome at all. I was able to observe clownfish and enjoy a luxurious time. The gaps in the coral felt like pathways in the sea, making swimming a lot of fun. Finally, I took a natural shower under the waterfall and had a great time, creating wonderful memories.
日頃の雑音やストレスを感じることなく川平湾の雄大な自然に魅了されました。
supに立つことで角度が変わり上から見渡せ一層海がきれいに見え、感動。
同じ日本でも全く違った時間が流れているので聞こえるのが波の音、風の音に変わっただけなのに普段とは真逆の穏やかな感情になっていることに気づき石垣島の自然に深く感謝。
青の洞窟は他の人たちでいっぱいになってはいましたが、笑い声や楽しい雰囲気だったので全然気にならずクマノミを観察したりして贅沢な時間を過ごせました。
サンゴの隙間が海の道のようになっていて泳いでて楽しかったです。
最後に滝つぼで自然のシャワーと休憩をし、いい思い出になりました。
I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, and I was told that even those who struggled with swimming lessons in school could join, so I participated (laughs). I was able to enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island very easily without having to carry anything.
The cave was filled with lots of coral, and the staff took pictures of me holding them. Canoeing in Kabira Bay was said to have the best ocean views in Ishigaki Island, and I paddled to my heart's content! At the waterfall basin, I could swim like in a pool and jumping in was surprisingly the most fun part!
青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて子供から参加でき学生時代プールの授業が苦手だった方でも楽しめますよと教えてもらい参加(笑)
手ぶらで行けてとても楽に石垣島の海を楽しめました。
洞窟にはサンゴがたくさんあって手に持った写真をスタッフ撮ってもらいました。
川平湾でのカヌークルージングは石垣島で最高といわれる海の景色の中で思いのままに漕ぎまくり!
滝つぼではプール感覚で泳げて飛び込んだりして意外とそれが一番たのしかった!
I had been looking forward to the tour since I heard that I could do stand-up paddleboarding at the most famous spot in Ishigaki Island, Kabira Bay. I usually enjoy running and am confident in my stamina, and since I also like surfing, I was able to stand up and ride quickly.
During snorkeling, there were many people from other tours, and I discovered different charms of Ishigaki Island that I hadn't known before, which made me very satisfied. I felt reluctant to leave, saying I wanted to stay here forever, and the guide kindly allowed me to stay just a little longer, letting me swim until the very last moment. Thank you! Finally, I was able to wash off the salt at the waterfall and received the tour photos, leaving me with nothing to complain about!
石垣島でいちばん有名な川平湾でサップができるとのことでツアー予約時から期待していました。
普段からランニングが趣味で体力には自信があり、サーフィンも好きなのですぐに立って乗れるようになれました。
シュノーケリングでは他のツアーの人たちもたくさんいて川平湾でサップしたときとは違う石垣島の知らなかった魅力を知ることができ満足。
帰るのが名残惜しく感じ、いつまでもここにいたいと言うと、もうちょっとだけいてもいいですよとガイドさんが融通を聞かせてくれて時間ギリギリまで泳がせてくれました。ありがとう!
最後に滝で潮を洗い落としツアーの写真をもらうことができ、何もいうことがありません!
Each group had a guide, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! The weather was also great, which made it even better. I want to participate again next year.
各グループごとにガイドさんがついてくださるため、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!!天候にも恵まれ最高でした。来年も参加したいです。
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the Blue Cave snorkeling. We look forward to your visit again next year!
体験談投稿ありがとうございます。
青の洞窟シュノーケルお楽しみいただけたようで何よりです。
是非また来年のご利用をお待ちしております!
I signed up for a round-trip ferry and water buffalo cart tour. It's overwhelmingly more economical than purchasing separately. The water buffalo tour was well-guided, and above all, it was a special experience to leisurely explore the streets of Taketomi Island while enjoying the scenery from the cart. Be sure to sit at the front of the water buffalo cart! If you sit at the back, the buffalo will be far away, and it will be hard to hear the explanations.
フェリー往復と水牛車観光のツアーに申し込みました。
別々に購入するよりも圧倒的にお得です。
水牛観光はガイドさんの説明も上手で、なによりも竹富島の街並みを眺めながら水牛車でゆっくりと観光できるのは特別な時間でした。
水牛車には必ず前方に乗ってください!後方だと水牛が遠く、説明も聞きづらいです。
On the Sunday in the middle of the three-day weekend, I took a half-day tour. The weather was great, and I enjoyed the Phantom Island and snorkeling. The young girls also had fun taking pictures in mermaid costumes available for free rental on Phantom Island.
Since many tour companies gather in one place, it can get crowded, but that's to be expected. On the day of the tour, the port was just a short drive from the meeting point, where we parked and boarded the boat. There were about 20 participants and 3 staff members. They provided a brief snorkeling lecture and accompanied us during the actual snorkeling. We were able to see many fish in the beautiful sea. However, I would have appreciated a bit more time for snorkeling.
One downside was the lack of showers. I had to rinse off using a hose at the port. I recommend staying at a hotel for consecutive nights when using the tour, so you can use the hotel shower during the day.
3連休の真ん中だった日曜日に半日ツアーを利用しました。
天候にも恵まれ、幻の島とシュノーケリングを楽しめました。若い女の子達は幻の島で無料レンタルの人魚コスプレでの撮影も楽しんでいました。
各ツアー会社がわんさか集まるので混雑していますが、仕方ないですね。
当日は待ち合わせ場所から車でほんの少し移動した場所に港があり、そこの駐車場に車を停めて乗船。
参加者約20名に対し、スタッフ3名。シュノーケリングの簡単な講義をしてくれ、実際のシュノーケリングにも帯同してくれました。美しい海で魚をたくさん見ることができました。ただ、もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があると嬉しいところです。
残念だったのはシャワーが無かったこと。仕方なく、港にある水道のホースで体を流しました。ツアー利用の際にはホテルを連泊し、昼間でもホテルのシャワーを使える用意をしておくことをオススメします。
We participated in the 7 AM snorkeling with four men. Since there were hardly any people in the water yet, the sea was crystal clear and in perfect condition! The instructor was super friendly, and we were able to relax and have an amazing time! I highly recommend early morning snorkeling!
朝7時のシュノーケリングに男4人で参加しました。まだ人がほとんど海に入っていなかったので、海の中は澄み渡っていて最高のコンディションでした!
インストラクターの方もすっごいフレンドリーでリラックスして最高に楽しめました!朝早いシュノーケリングはお勧めです!
I participated in the tour with just a desire to see beautiful stars, even though I found studying constellations difficult and lacked motivation in school. However, this time I was carefully taught how to find constellations and learned interesting stories about them, which sparked my interest in wanting to know more about stars!
The moon was very beautiful, which made it a bit harder to see the stars, but I can confidently say that I’m glad I participated! I would like to join again in a different season to see other stars. I think it would be great to have insect repellent spray to focus on the stars.
学校の授業では難しくてやる気になれなかった星座の勉強。きれいな星がみたいなーぐらいの気持ちでツアーに参加しましたが、今回星座の探し方やエピソードなどを丁寧に教えてもらい、星についてもっと知りたいと思えるきっかけになりました!!
月がとてもきれいでその分少し星が見えにくかったのですが、それでも自信をもって参加してよかったと言えます!
また違う星を見るために季節を変えて参加したいと思います(^^)
星に集中するために虫除けスプレーはあると◎かと思います。
The super strong water buffalo can pull a cart with about 20 people. This time, I got to ride on a water buffalo named A-pa-kun! Its body was large and impressive, but it had big, round eyes and was very calm and adorable. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also wonderful. Additionally, the explanation about Taketomi Island was very informative! The townscape had a distinct Okinawan charm, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time. I definitely want to participate again!
20人前後の人が乗った車を引くことができる超力もちの水牛さん。今回はアーパーくんという水牛の車に乗せてもらいました!体は大きくて迫力があるけれど、目がクリクリで大人しくてとても可愛かったです(^^)ガイドさんの三線の弾き語りも素晴らしかったです。また、竹富島についての説明もとても勉強になりました!
街並みも沖縄らしさがあり、のんびりとした時間が過ごせました。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います!!
Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We had chance to see many nice places. The scenery was very nice at the place we had lunch.
The pineapple garden was really nice but we could have spent more time there. 40 minutes was not enough to explore the garden and do shopping. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a family for 25 minutes even though it stated that people who didn't arrive on time needed to go to the next destination by themselves.
Aquarium was good as well.
I thought the duration would be short at about two hours, but it was actually just right. Swimming surprisingly uses a lot of energy, and I tend to get sunburned too much, so I felt it was perfect. The guide was very interesting and kind, and they took a lot of photos, which helped create great memories! There were many fish like clownfish in the sea, and I enjoyed snorkeling.
所用時間は2時間ほどと短いかな?と思っていましたが、実際はちょうど良かったです。
泳ぐと意外と体力を使いますし、日焼けをしすぎてしまうのでちょうどいいと思いました。
案内してくれる方もとても面白く親切な方だったのと、たくさん写真を撮ってくれるのでいい思い出ができました!
海にはクマノミなどの魚がたくさんいて、シュノーケリングを楽しめます。
The cave turns blue because the white sand reflects sunlight from the seabed. The cave had almost no waves and was used as a practice spot for beginner snorkelers. They provide marine boots to prevent slipping and falling, as the cave is made of hard, sharp rocks. They kindly advised us to crouch down and place our hands on the rocks when entering the cave. They also helped pull up children who seemed to have difficulty exiting and guided us well. We swam not only in the cave but also at other snorkeling points, which were incredibly beautiful and filled with many fish! At Kabira Bay, they made various announcements to ensure the tour was safe.
洞窟内が青くなるのは白砂が日射しを海底から照らすから光るみたいです。
洞窟内はほとんど波がなくシュノーケル初心者の練習場所として使われていました。
洞窟は硬くて尖った岩でできているので、滑って転んだりしないようにマリンブーツを貸してくれます。
洞窟内に入るときはなるべく腰を下ろし手を岩場に付けてくださいと親切に教えてくれました。
出るときが難しそうなお子さんの手を掴み引き上げてくれ、誘導もちゃんとしていました。
洞窟内だけでなくその他のシュノーケルポイントでも泳いだのですが、そこがすごく綺麗でお魚が沢山いました!
川平湾では安全にツアーができるように色々とアナウンスしてくれました。
I participated in the sunset tour. Once the tour started, the instructions on how to kayak were thorough, which was great.
Additionally, the guide was very knowledgeable and shared various stories, so I was never bored.
Thank you very much.
・サンセットツアーに参加しました。
ツアーが始まったらカヤックの乗り方から丁寧に指導があり、良かったです。
また、ガイドの方の知識が豊富で色々な話を織り交ぜながらガイドしていただき、退屈しませんでした。
ありがとうございました。
