All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I have participated in countless tours so far, but among similar tours, this one provided the highest level of satisfaction. You absolutely must join!

今まで数えきれないほどのツアーに参加してきましたが、似たようなツアーがある中、今回のツアーは最高レベルの満足感でした。絶対に参加すべし！

I rented a car, so I decided to meet at the location. Although I was given clear instructions on where to meet, the unfamiliar roads were dark and difficult to navigate, and I got a bit lost. Once I arrived, it was just a short walk to the star viewing area, and we each took a seat in our preferred spot where tea and telescopes were provided.

After that, we looked through the telescopes while listening to explanations about each star. This is the flow of the tour. The day I participated was clear, but there was a bit of moonlight and a lot of clouds, so it felt like we were seeing stars through gaps in the clouds, which wasn't ideal for stargazing. At that time of year, the Milky Way was barely visible, but I was glad to see the night sky for the first time and hear about the names and explanations of the stars. I haven't seen a tour that allows for cancellations based on the weather and moonlight, so I highly recommend this one.

レンタカーを借りていたので、現地集合にしました。
集合場所はきちんと教えていただいていたのですが、知らない道と道路が真っ暗で分かりにくく少し迷いました。到着すると星を見る場所までほんの少し歩き、各自好きな場所の椅子に座るとお茶と望遠鏡が配られます。
その後、一つ一つの星の説明を聞きながら望遠鏡で見ます。これがこのツアーの流れです。私が参加した日は晴れていましたが、少し月明かりがあり、雲が多くて雲の切れ目から星を見る感じだったので絶好の星空ではありませんでした。時期的に天の川が薄っすらギリギリ見える程度でしたが、初めて見る星空や星の名前や星の説明を聞けて良かったです。当日の天候や月明かりを調べてキャンセルもできるツアーは見たことないのでお勧めです。

It wasn't as immersive in nature as I expected from a night safari, but (well, the whole of Ishigaki is quite natural) I enjoyed the introduction of palm crabs, spiders, hermit crabs, and distinctive plants. The Ryukyu scops owl on the power lines was also a highlight.

As we were watching, the sky cleared up more and more, and the starry sky was incredibly clear, which was moving. The guides' love for Ishigaki and nature shone through, and even when things didn't go as planned, they surely found a way to keep the atmosphere lively.

ナイトサファリというほど大自然の中に突っ込むわけではなかったのが少し肩透かしだったけど、(まあ、石垣全体が自然多めなんだけど) ヤシガニ、クモ、オカヤドカリや特徴的な植物紹介も有り楽しめた。電線のリュウキュウコノハズクも。
鑑賞している間にどんどん晴れて来て星空がめちゃクリアだったのが感動的だった。ガイドさん達は石垣愛、自然愛がにじみ出ており、不発に終わった時も何とか盛り上げてくれるに違いない。

I had the opportunity to experience SUP on a girls' trip. The guide was friendly and provided advice on paddling from start to finish, as well as sharing breathtaking viewpoints of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding islands. This made the rest of my stay even more enjoyable, and I had a great time!

女子旅でSUPを体験させてもらいました。
ガイドの方が気さくで、最初から最後まで漕ぎ方のアドバイスから石垣島、離島の絶景ポイントなども教えてくださったので、残りの滞在もより楽しみになり、良い時間を過ごすことができました！

The weather in Ishigaki Island changes rapidly, so I made a reservation on the day of. Until just before, it was pouring rain, and I was half giving up while in the car heading to the meeting point. However, after that, the rain stopped, and I was able to see some stars being blown by the wind.

There were many stars visible to the naked eye, but the Milky Way was clearly visible through the binoculars we borrowed, and my whole family was moved by it. Although there were still some clouds left from the rain just before, we were captivated by the night sky while receiving explanations about the stars visible through the gaps! My second son, who is in the second grade, was excitedly searching for stars, even though the explanations about the night sky were a bit difficult for him.

The way the night sky looks differs due to latitude, and the explanations were easy to understand. Also, despite the rain just before, the chairs and the borrowed binoculars were not wet, making it a wonderful and memorable experience in Ishigaki Island.

石垣島の天気はコロコロ変わるので、当日に申し込みをしました。
直前まではどしゃ降りで、車で向かった集合場所の車内で半ば諦めていましたが、、その後、あのどしゃ降りの雨は何だったのか、、という位、雨は上がり風に吹かれて星もそれなりに見えることが出来ました。
肉眼で見える星空もたくさんありましたが、天の川は貸してくれた双眼鏡でハッキリと見え、家族全員で感動しました。
当日は直前の雨の影響で、雲が残っていたものの、隙間から見える星を解説してもらいながら、星空に魅力されました！
小学2年生の次男は、少し難しいだろう星空の解説にも関わらず、星を一生懸命探しながら興奮していました。
緯度の違いで普段見える星空の見えかたも違い、説明も分かりやすかったです。また、直前の雨でも椅子や借りた双眼鏡などは濡れていることもなく、素敵な石垣島の思い出深い経験になりました。

I participated in snorkeling at Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave. The natural beauty was so stunning that I wanted to come back again and again. Personally, I found the underwater snorkeling in front of the Blue Cave to be particularly impressive. It was great that they had a good range of sizes for rental equipment. I really appreciated the guide's explanations and the photo opportunities. They were very accommodating with schedule changes and pickup locations, which was a big help. Regarding infection control measures, while some things in the vehicle are unavoidable, overall, I thought it was well managed.

川平湾supと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加させていただきました。とにかく自然が何度でも来たくなるような綺麗さでした。個人的には青の洞窟前の海中シュノーケリングが印象的でした。貸し出し用品なかなり大きいサイズもありよかったです。ガイドさんの説明や写真撮影も大変ありがたかったです。日程変更や送迎場所の融通も利かせていただき大変助かりました。感染対策については、車内はある程度仕方ありませんが基本的によかったと思います。

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful!!
It was disappointing not to see the coconut crabs, but it was fun to see bats and other things☺️
The guide was also cool and entertaining.
I'm glad I could experience something out of the ordinary!
It was helpful that they drove me back to the hotel where I was staying!

星空がめっちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！！
ヤシガニがいなくて残念でしたが、コウモリなど見れて楽しかったです☺️
ガイドのお兄さんもかっこよくて面白かったです
非日常を味わえてよかったです！
帰りも宿泊してるホテルまで送ってもらえて助かりました！

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and moving! The guide was very knowledgeable about the stars, and it was a lot of fun to enjoy the viewing while listening to the explanations. At the night safari, I was able to see animals and plants I had never seen before, and it was enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

星空がとても綺麗で感動しました！
ガイドの方はとても星に詳しく、説明を聞きながらの鑑賞はとても楽しかったです。
ナイトサファリでは今まで見たことない動物や植物を見ることができ、楽しかったです！
とても良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were very beautiful, but there were quite a few moths flying around, and as someone who is not good with insects, I couldn't concentrate much on the stars.

幸運にも天気に恵まれて、星はとてもきれいに見えたのですが、蛾などがけっこう飛びかっていて、虫がとても苦手な私は、あまり星に集中できませんでした。

We participated as a family of three.
The schedule was originally in the afternoon, but due to the typhoon, it was suddenly changed to the morning.
We were a bit far from our accommodation and arrived 10 minutes late. Thank you to everyone who waited.
The location was Kabira Bay, which was a very beautiful place.
Our family quickly grasped the tips for stand-up paddleboarding and were able to stand on the board.
About halfway through, my son's stamina reached its limit, and it really does require physical strength.
We took many photos, and it became a wonderful memory for our family.
Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。
予定は午後だったが台風の影響で急遽午前中に変更しました。
宿泊地から少し距離があって集合時間より10分遅れました。待てた皆さんに感謝します。
場所は川平湾で非常に綺麗な場所でした。
家族3人すぐにsupのコツをつかんでボードに立つことが出来ました。
半分の距離ぐらいで息子の体力が限界で、やはり体力が求められます。
何枚の写真を撮ってもらって、家族にとって非常にいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

The reservation for the day after arriving in Ishigaki was made on short notice, but they responded quickly. There was no additional charge for the shuttle service, and we could enjoy the canoeing hands-free.

We participated as a family of three with our 10-year-old child. It's often difficult to take pictures of the whole family during activities, but thanks to the photo service, we were able to enjoy canoeing without any hassle and received more than enough family photos.

We spent a relaxing time canoeing on the crystal-clear waters of Kabira Bay.

On the way to the point, the instructor kindly answered our family's questions about sightseeing spots, for which we are grateful. Thanks to their advice, the remaining days were fulfilling.

石垣に到着してからの翌日の予約
急な予約でしたが素早く対応していただきました
送迎付きの手ぶら追加料金なし

10歳の子供を連れて家族3人で参加
なかなか家族揃ってアクティビティ中写真を撮る事が出来ませんが、こちらは写真サービス付のおかげで手ぶらでカヌーを楽しめておまけに家族揃った写真を充分過ぎるほど頂けました

川平湾の透き通る美しさと、穏やかな水面の上をカヌーでゆったりと過ごせました

ポイント地までの道中もインストラクターの方が私達家族の観光スポットの質問に応えて下さり感謝
アドバイスのおかげで残りの日数も充実したものになりました

In a wonderful environment without light, I was able to see many beautiful stars. The guide was very skilled, and it was a great time that allowed me to rediscover the joy of stargazing.

明かりのない素晴らしい環境の中、きれいな星がたくさん見られました。ガイドの方の案内もとても上手で、天体観測の楽しさを改めて知れたいい時間となりました。

I experienced marine sports. I was able to try almost all of the marine sports. It was very fun.

マリンスポーツを体験しました。ほぼ全部のマリンスポーツに乗ることができました。とても楽しかったです。

Two days prior, I participated in a Pipi adventure tour on Iriomote Island, and while the content was excellent, the guide's personality and knowledge were outstanding. So, I was looking forward to seeing what kind of guide I would have this day as I waited for the pickup in front of the hotel.

Then, a somewhat youthful and charming 22-year-old young man appeared! I got to ride in the front seat, and on the way to Kabira Bay, being chatty myself, I bombarded him with questions to gather information. It turns out this guide (let's call him Kubocchi) came on a company trip, fell in love with Ishigaki, and decided to move here. He has already obtained his boating license, and he’s a promising talent for the future.

Upon arriving at Kabira Bay, we quickly hopped on the stand-up paddleboard! I had thought it looked difficult when I saw it from the side on Iriomote Island, but thanks to Kubocchi's great advice, I surprisingly managed to stand up! (Well, I did fall over about five times, though. Haha.)

I left my phone in the car to avoid it getting wet, but taking photos was not an issue. Despite the experience lasting about two hours, Kubocchi unknowingly took over 100 photos of my family of four with his digital camera! (I received the data later.) Being good at your job has nothing to do with age. Even those who lack confidence in their balance can quickly get used to it and have fun. Plus, since you tend to overeat while traveling, it serves as a nice full-body workout.

In travel, those with many memories come out on top. I think this is a highly recommended experience. Thank you very much for this opportunity!

この2日前にも西表島でピピのアドベンチャーツアーに参加しており、内容自体もちろんですがガイドさんの人柄＆知識が申し分なかったのでこの日もどんなガイドさんかなーと期待してホテル前でピックアップを待つことに。

そして現れたのはまだあどけなさが残る若干22歳の好青年！
さて助手席に乗せてもらい川平湾へ向かう道中、話し好きの自分は色々情報を集めるべく質問攻めへ。笑
なんとこのガイドさん（以下くぼっち）は、社員旅行に来て石垣の魅力に取り憑かれ移住を決めたとのこと^_^
早くも船舶免許も取得したらしく、将来が楽しみな逸材です。

てなわけで川平湾に到着。さっそくサップボートにライドオン！西表島ではサップを横目で見ていて難しそうかなーと思いきや、くぼっちのナイスなアドバイスにより意外にも立てるではないですか！（まあ5回程度転覆しましたが。笑）

携帯は間違いなく水没するので車内に置いて行きましたが、写真撮影は問題無しです。
2時間程度の体験にも拘わらず、くぼっちが知らないうちに家族４人をデジカメで100枚以上撮影してくれていました！（後でデータをいただきました）仕事が出来る出来ないは年齢関係ないですね。
バランス感覚に自信のない方でもすぐに慣れて楽しめるし、旅行ではどうしても食べ過ぎがちになるので程よい全身運動にもなるかと思います。
旅行は思い出が多い人の勝ちですね。
おすすめの体験かと思います。この度はありがとうございました！

Due to the weather, we had to change our schedule at the last minute, but we were able to go on a nice day. When the weather is good, everything is good. The staff talked about Ishigaki Island and shared gourmet tips while we were in the car, which was very helpful.

During my first experience with SAP, I had fun doing some yoga-like activities and jumping around! In the afternoon, we visited the Blue Cave, where I was able to take photos just like in the brochure, and I encountered Nemo and many other fish while snorkeling. It turned out to be the best day.

Thank you for your flexible support.

天気の都合で、急遽日程を変更していただきましたので、天気の良い日に決行することが出来ました。天気が良いと全てが良いです。スタッフの方が移動中の車の中で、石垣島のことを話してくれたり、グルメの話など参考になりました。
初めてのSAPでは、ヨガもどきをしたり飛び跳ねたり楽しかった！
午後の青い洞窟はパンフレット通りの写真が取れ、シュノーケリングもニモや沢山の魚と出会いました。最高の日になりました。
臨機応変に対応していただきありがとうございました。

The starry sky was very beautiful. It was great to have explanations since we could focus on various stars. That day happened to be the day of the meteor shower, so we were excited to see many shooting stars. They set up a square in the meadow, but the bugs weren't too bothersome. It would have been even better if we had more time to photograph the stars.

とても綺麗に星空が見えました。
いろんな星に注目できるので解説があったのがとても良かった。
その日は丁度流星群の日だったので、いくつも流れ星が見れて盛り上がりました。
原っぱに広場を設けてるのですが虫はそれほど気になりませんでした。
星を撮影できる時間があればもっと良かった。

We were able to enjoy SUP and snorkeling safely and had a great time. It was also nice that they took photos for us that we couldn't capture ourselves and shared information about Ishigaki Island. I would like to participate in other tours as well.

安全に気をつけながら、楽しくSUPやシュノーケリングができました。自分たちだけでは撮れない写真もとってくださり、石垣島のことについて教えていただけたところもよかったです。他のツアーにも参加したいです。

Initially, we had planned to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but due to the sea conditions after the typhoon, we had to cancel. However, we really wanted to try it, so we made a reservation again for just the SUP plan.

Since we were staying in a somewhat remote area, they picked us up from a relatively close and easy-to-find location (they also informed us in advance about delays due to city traffic, which left a very good impression). We headed to Kabira Bay. Although it was Kabira Bay, it was a different area from where the glass-bottom boats operate, and there were almost no waves at all.

From the initial instructions on "how to paddle" and "how to get on the board" until the end of the experience, we received thorough guidance. Even though I don't have great athletic skills, I was able to stand on the board much quicker than I expected and learned to steer, enjoying a refreshing feeling on the water. I'm really glad I did it!

My son, who participated with me, sometimes struggled and got a bit teary, but the guide encouraged him while taking photos, and we managed to reach the goal (my mother, who was waiting patiently on the water, got quite sunburned). By the end, he was tired and cranky, saying he didn’t want to do it anymore, which made the guide a bit troubled, and I felt sorry about that.
[Postscript] At the hotel where we were staying, we could borrow SUP boards, so the day after the experience, I invited my son, and he seemed to enjoy it so much that I wondered what happened to the tears from yesterday! He even jumped off the board into the sea! I think it was thanks to the guidance we received during the experience. Thank you very much.

当初サップを予定していた日が、台風通過後の海のコンディションによりできないことになり一度キャンセルしたのですが、やはりやってみたい！ということで、再度サップだけのプランで予約させていただきました。

ちょっと辺鄙なところに宿泊していたので、実施する場所から比較的近くのわかりやすい場所にてピックアップしていただき（その際も市街地の渋滞で遅れる旨、あらかじめご連絡を頂戴し大変好印象でした）、川平湾へ。川平湾といってもグラスボートが運行しているエリアとはまた違った場所で、波も全くといっていいほどないところでした。

最初の「パドルの動かし方」「ボードへの乗り方」から体験終了まで丁寧にご指導いただき、運動神経のないわたしですが、思っていたよりもずっと早くボードに立てたし舵取りもできるようになり、水上で爽快な気分を味わうことができました。やって良かったです！

一緒に参加した息子が時々うまくできなくて半ベソになっても、写真を撮りつつ励ましていただきながらなんとかゴール（水上でじっと待っていた母はかなり日に焼けましたが）。最後疲れてきてぐずぐずで、もうやらない！といってガイドのお兄さんを困らせてしまい、申し訳なかったです。
【後日談】宿泊していたホテルでサップボードが借りられたので、体験の翌日に息子を誘ったところ、昨日の泣きべそはどうしたのかな？と思うくらいの楽しみ様で、ボードからジャンプして海に飛び込びも！体験ご指導の賜物だと思います。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my middle school and high school children. I was worried because a typhoon was coming, but instead of canceling, we postponed and took on the challenge! I'm really glad we didn't give up and participated. The guide was truly entertaining! I couldn't stop feeling excited! We found various creatures one after another! My daughter and son, who were initially reluctant due to their rebellious phase, were surprisingly thrilled! We got to see a starry sky with the Milky Way, and my troubled heart cleared up; it was truly a wonderful night. It might have been the most fun I've had on Ishigaki Island. I apologize for the trouble when my son rushed to the restroom due to a stomachache, but everyone was so warm-hearted, and I can't express how grateful I am for that night. I want to go again!

私と中学生、高校生の子供と三人で参加しました。台風が来ていたので心配でしたが、キャンセルせずに日延べをしてチャレンジ！あきらめず参加してよかったです。本当にガイドさんが面白い！　とにかくワクワクが止まりません！　いろいろな生き物が次から次へと見つけるし出てくるし！　最初は気乗りしなかった反抗期の娘と息子はびっくりするぐらい大はしゃぎ！満点の星空に天の川が見れて、モヤモヤした心がすっきり晴れて本当に素敵な夜でした。石垣島で一番楽しかったかもです。途中で息子が腹痛でトイレに駆け込みご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さん心温かくて感謝しきれないくらいの夜でした。また行きたいです！

They made sure to keep space between our group and others to avoid close contact, and they also prepared tea for us. Most importantly, they provided a thorough explanation about the stars, and before we knew it, an hour had passed! Honestly, I had some concerns about whether it was okay to go during this time, but it was amazing to see so many stars that I've always wanted to see! I never expected to see the Milky Way so beautifully… I definitely want to participate again!

三密回避で、きちんとグループ以外の人達との空間はあけてくださっていたし、お茶も用意してくださって、何より星のことたくさん丁寧に説明してくださって、あっという間に1時間が過ぎました！
正直、この時期に行っても良いのかな？という気持ちはありましたが、念願の星がたくさん見れて最高でした‼︎天の川があんなにきれいに観れるとは…
また、参加したいなぁと思います！

In the morning, I did SUP at Kabira Bay. There were explanations about how to paddle as well as information about the sea and marine life, and I had a great time!

In the afternoon, I went snorkeling. It was completely different from the sea I usually visit, with vibrant corals and fish welcoming me! It was definitely an emotional experience!!

The guide was very talkative, and I was able to enjoy the entire time! Thank you very much!!

午前中は川平湾でSUPでした。SUPの漕ぎ方はもちろん、海や生物についての説明もあり、とても楽しめました！

午後からはシュノーケリングでした。普段よく行く海とは全くちがい、色鮮やかな珊瑚や魚が出迎えてくれました！感動すること間違いなし！！

ガイドの方もよく話す方で終始楽しむことができました！
ありがとうございました！！

Before the tour started, it was quite cloudy, so we were asked for a final confirmation of our willingness to participate (even though the clouds might obstruct our view of the stars). Since my stay was short and I couldn't reschedule to another date, I decided to join, and I was able to see many stars and really enjoyed it.

I was also impressed by the star guide's announcements, which were backed by their extensive knowledge. The visibility of stars varies depending on the weather at that time, so I assume they adapt flexibly each time. There were many moments of spontaneous improvisation.

The pre-participation confirmation and the engaging talks to entertain the guests both reflected a simple yet pure intention to let participants genuinely enjoy the stars, showcasing their consideration and performance. I hope for good weather next time and plan to join again.

ツアー開始前、曇りがちだったため、現地に着いてから最終の意思確認（雲が架かって、星が存分に見れないかもしれないけど参加します？）をされました。短期滞在だったことと、予定が埋まり他日程への振替が出来ないこともあり、結果参加させて頂きましたが、多くの星を見る事ができ楽しめました。
また、星案内人さんの豊富な知識に裏付けされたアナウンスにも感服。その日、その時間の天気によって見えやすい星が異なるので、その都度臨機応変にご対応されているものと推測します。柔軟なアドリブが随所にありました。
参加する前の意思確認や、お客を楽しませるためのトーク、いずれも「参加した方に純粋に星を楽しんでもらう」というシンプルながら高純度の想いがあるからこその配慮やパフォーマンス。
次回は運良く天気になればよいな、と神頼みして参加しようと思います。

I participated two years ago in the fall, and this time I joined in the summer. Overall, the beautiful starry sky was truly a wonderful experience. Compared to my last visit, I was a little disappointed this time. The guide from my previous visit had great speaking skills and extensive knowledge, which moved me beyond just the starry sky and made me decide to return. However, this time there was no final Q&A session, and I felt there were fewer detailed discussions, such as how many billions of light-years away the stars are.

That said, it was only a slight disappointment compared to my expectations. If it’s your first time, I believe you will undoubtedly be impressed.

They were very kind in helping us adjust the binoculars for the children. My 4-year-old and 7-year-old were delighted, saying, "I can see it!" (Last time, my 2-year-old was mostly asleep.)

前回は2年前の秋に参加。今回は夏に参加しました。
総じて大変な綺麗な星空が見え、本当に素敵な体験でした。
前回との比較では、今回は少しだけがっかり。
前回のガイドさんのトーク力・知識が豊富で、星空だけでなく、そこにも感動し再訪を決めました。
しかし今回は、最後の質問タイムもなく、あの星は何億光年前の光が届いている等の細かな話なども少なかった印象でした。

ただ、期待値に対して少し残念、というレベル。はじめての利用であれば、間違いなく感動されると思います。

子ども用の双眼鏡も、一緒にピントをあわせていただけるなど、とても親切にしていただきました。4歳と7歳の子どもも「見えた！」と喜んでいました。(前回、2歳児はほぼ終始寝ておりました)

I came to Ishigaki Island dreaming of a starry sky, but unfortunately, due to the mischief of the trade winds, my dream did not come true.

However, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements by the staff, I got to see the stars on the ground (the night view). ✨✨

By chance, a coconut crab appeared, and I took pictures with the beautiful pink sagaribana, being careful not to step on the hermit crabs scurrying about... I enjoyed the nighttime adventure on the island.

What impressed me the most was that after the tour, the staff thoroughly assisted me with planning the next day's tour, allowing me to have a wonderful experience! ❗

Thank you so much! ☺️ I had a great time! ➰✨

満点の星空を夢見て石垣島に来たものの、
パイカジ（南風)のいたずらで残念ながら、夢叶わず

でもstaffさんの粋な計らいで、
地上の星(夜景)を見ました。✨✨

運良く、ヤシガニもあらわれ、美しいピンクのサガリバナと共に写真を撮り、せっせと歩くヤドカリたちを踏み潰さないように…と、夜の島のアドベンチャーを楽しみました。

何よりも私が感激したのは、
ツアー後、翌日のツアーの相談にstaffさんがトコトン付き合ってくれて、素晴らしいツアーを体験することができたこと❗

本当にありがとう☺️
楽しかったよ➰✨

We participated in the Kayahira Bay and Blue Cave tour as a couple. The day before, we received a call informing us that due to strong winds, we wouldn't be able to go to the much-anticipated Kayahira Bay, and instead, we went to the mangroves as an alternative plan. It was great that they explained and confirmed the meeting place in detail.

At first, I was a bit disappointed about the change to the alternative plan, but I really enjoyed kayaking, and the guide provided a lot of thorough explanations. The pace was just right—not too fast and not too slow—allowing us to enjoy the kayaking and the great outdoors of the mangroves.

We went snorkeling at the Blue Cave, and when I mentioned that I wasn't confident in my swimming ability, they kindly pulled a float for me, which was very helpful. Thanks to that, I felt less scared and was able to fully enjoy the beautiful underwater world.

During the transfer, they also shared recommendations for restaurants and famous spots, which made it really fun.

After the tour, we received a lot of photos, and I was happy because they were all great shots. My first time in Ishigaki Island turned out to be a wonderful memory! The guides were really nice and very entertaining!

夫婦2人で川平湾、青の洞窟ツアー参加しました。
前日に電話いただき、強風の影響で楽しみにしていた川平湾に行けなくなり、代替のプランでマングローブの方へ行きました。集合場所等も丁寧に説明・確認してもらえて良かったです。

最初は代替プランになったことに少しがっかりしていたのですが、カヤックは勿論楽しめましたし、ガイドさんも丁寧に沢山説明してくれました。早すぎず、ゆっくりすぎず、カヤックとマングローブの大自然を楽しむことができました。
青の洞窟ではシュノーケリングをしましたが、泳力に自信がないことをお伝えすると、快く浮輪？を引っ張ってくださって助かりました。おかげで怖くなくなり、綺麗な海の世界を存分に堪能することができました。
移動の最中もオススメのレストラン、有名スポットなどを教えてくださり本当に楽しかったです。

ツアー後に写真をもらったのですが、かなりの枚数を撮ってもらっていて、どれもいい写真だったので嬉しかったです。初めての石垣島、すごくいい思い出になりました！
ガイドさん本当にいい方達でしたし、とっても面白かったです！笑

Since the Phantom Island gets crowded in the morning, we went snorkeling first. We were able to snorkel for about 40 minutes in an area with many blue coral reefs, and I was very satisfied. The blue corals were beautiful! Although the water was a bit murky due to the wind, there were plenty of fish, and the kids were happy. My older child wanted to return to the boat early, so I was able to leave them there while I enjoyed snorkeling alone. Thank you very much!

As for the Phantom Island itself, it was just okay; it is beautiful, but I felt that snorkeling was better. Since the island has a lot of coral, I wish I had brought marine shoes.

幻の島が朝は混んでるということで、先にシュノーケルをしました。
青のサンゴ礁がたくさんあるところでシュノーケルを40分ほどでき、とても満足できました。青のサンゴは、とても綺麗でした！風があり少し濁ってはいましたが魚もたくさんで子供たちも喜んでいました。年長の子供が早めに船に戻りたいというので預けて船でみてもらえたので、母親の私は1人でゆっくりシュノーケルできました。ありがとうございました(^^)
肝心の幻の島は、ふーんという感じで、綺麗ではありますが、シュノーケルのが良かったなという印象です。島は、サンゴが多いのでマリンシューズを持参すれば良かったなと思います。

It was just the right time to see the comet, and I was able to see it with my own eyes! I was so moved! I got lost and arrived late from the meeting time, but I was very grateful for the staff's polite guidance!

ちょうど、彗星が見える時期で
肉眼で見ることができました！感激です！
道に迷ってしまい、集合時間から遅れてしまったのですが
スタッフの皆様の丁寧なご案内で、とてもありがたかったです！

The guide took many photos on the mysterious island. The sea was beautiful, and I saw blue coral reefs for the first time. I'm not very good at swimming, but with the guide's assistance, I was able to enjoy snorkeling.

ガイドさんが幻の島で沢山写真を撮って頂きました。海は綺麗で青いサンゴ礁を初めてみました。
泳ぎが得意でないのですがガイドさんに誘導して頂き楽しくシュノーケルができました。

I participated in the starry sky tour because Ishigaki Island has been designated as a starry sky protection area! I chose this tour because I could cancel until 4 PM if the weather was concerning.

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds before departure, which made me a bit anxious, but I boarded a large, beautiful cruise ship, enjoyed a drink, and received a thorough explanation of the precautions from the staff, which made me forget my worries as we set sail!

We soon passed under the Southern Gate Bridge, which looked stunning lit up from the sea! As we headed into the darkness, the stars began to appear! Although there were some clouds, I could see many small stars that I couldn't see back home! I was amazed at how many stars there were, feeling like they were closer than ever!

Our guide, Suzuki, used a laser pointer to explain the stars, making it easy to understand and very interesting! After that, there was a sanshin live performance, and while listening to Okinawan folk songs, the pleasant breeze and the starry sky washed my heart clean!

The night view of Ishigaki Island from the sea was also beautiful, and all the stress from the pandemic life just vanished! Nature is wonderful!

I had the impression that larger group tours often treated customers roughly, but here, the kind staff provided careful explanations and implemented solid infection control measures, allowing me to participate with peace of mind. Thank you very much! I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

石垣島は星空保護区に認定されているということで星空てぃんがーらツアーに参加しました！
天候が気になって16時までならキャンセルもできるということでこちらのツアーにしました！
参加当日は、出航前に少し雲が出ていて少し不安もあるなか、大型の素敵なクルーズ船に乗り込みお酒を頂き席へ、スタッフさんから注意事項の丁寧な説明があり不安も忘れて出航！笑
すぐに昼間通ったサザンゲートブリッジの下をくぐりました、海から見るライトアップしてるサザンゲートブリッジも素敵でした！
いよいよ暗闇へ、向かってくなか星が見えてきました！雲も少しありましたが、地元では見えないような小さな星まで沢山見えました！地元より近くに星が見えて、こんなに星が沢山あるのかと感動しました！
ガイドの鈴木さんがレザーポインターで星の説明をしてくれて分かりやすくて面白かったです！
そのあと三線ライブがあり、沖縄の民謡を聞きながら心地よい風と満天の星空、めちゃくちゃ心洗われました！
海から見る石垣島の夜景も素敵で、自粛生活のストレスが一気に吹き飛びました！
自然て素晴らしい！
大人数のツアーだと雑に扱われるショップさんが多い印象でしたが、こちらは島の優しいスタッフさんの丁寧な説明と、しっかりした感染対策で安心して参加できました。ありがとうございました！
また石垣島に来た際は参加させていただきますね！

I was able to see the Neowise comet. They also provided explanations of various constellations. It was nice to lean back in a chair while using binoculars and enjoying the drink service.

ネオワイズド彗星が見れました。他にも色々な星座の説明もしてくれます。イスにもたれながら双眼鏡、ドリンクサービスなどよかったです。
