Ishigaki/Yaeyama
I went on a graduation trip with my girlfriend. It was quite challenging due to heavy rain on the day, but thanks to our powerful guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves so much that the rain and wind felt like they disappeared. It was my first time snorkeling, and the guide taught us step by step, allowing us to jump into the Blue Cave. The afternoon zap and canoeing were also fun, and we took over 100 photos, making it a fulfilling graduation trip. The shuttle service to the hotel was included in the price, which was helpful as we didn't need to extend our rental car.
彼女との卒業旅行できました。
当日結構な雨が降ったり大変でしたが、パワフルなガイドさんのお陰で、雨も風も吹っ飛ぶぐらい楽しむ事ができました。
シュノーケルは人生初だったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが手取り足とり教えていただき、青の洞窟にも飛び込めました。
午後のザップもカヌーも楽しく、100枚以上の写真を撮っていただき、充実した卒業旅行になりました。ホテルまでの送迎も料金に含まれているので、レンタカーを延長する必要がなく、助かりました。

Initially, I had signed up for the afternoon course at Kabira Bay, but on the instructor's recommendation, I also added the morning snorkeling session. To put it simply... it was a great decision. Even as a first-time snorkeler, I was taken to various spots, including shallow areas where I could stand and slightly deeper places, so I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. In the afternoon at Kabira Bay, it seemed there were fewer people, so I was able to experience both SUP and canoeing. Thank you for your consideration. I would love to participate again if possible.
当初は川平湾の午後からのコースを申し込んでいたのですが、インストラクターさんのおススメで、午前のシュノーケリングも追加させていただきました。
結論から言うと…大正解でした。
シュノーケリングは初めてでもできる足の着く場所や、少し深いところなど、色々なスポットに連れて行ってもらえたので、飽きずに楽しめました。
午後の川平湾では、人が少なめだったらしくSUPもカヌーも体験できました。お気遣いありがとうございます。
またできたら、参加したいと思います。

I really wanted to go to Kabira Bay, so I participated at the last minute! Thank you for your support.
The shop staff mentioned that VELTRA offers the best deals, and I appreciate the quick response for the reservation.
The tour itself was a wonderful experience, with a lively instructor welcoming us, creating fantastic memories.
I'm glad I chose this tour while visiting Ishigaki Island!
川平湾にどうしても行きたくて、直前でしたが参加させていただきました！ご対応ありがとうございます。
ショップの方からVELTRAが一番お得とのことで、予約し対応も迅速で感謝です。
肝心のツアーも元気いっぱいのインストラクターさんが出迎えてくれ、素晴らしい思い出になりました。
石垣島に来てよかったと思えるツアーでした！

I was supposed to meet at the location, but I couldn't rent a car, so I requested a pickup. Thank you for accommodating me over the phone.
During the tour, you were always considerate, allowing us to enjoy the activities without any inconvenience. The stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay was in a spot where there was no one else from our group, so we were able to take various photos.
I brought a waterproof camera, but the guide took photos for us, so I don't think it's necessary to bring a camera. It was great that we only needed to bring drinks and towels, as everything else was included in the rental.
現地集合だったのですが、レンタカーを借りることが出来ず、お迎えをお願いしました。お電話で快く受け入れてくださり、ありがとうございます。
ツアー中もずっと気遣っていただいたので、何不自由なくアクティビティを楽しむことができました。川平湾のsupも私たちのグループ以外誰もいない場所だったので、いろんな写真を撮れました。
私は防水カメラを持ち込んでいたのですが、ガイドの方が撮ってくださったので、おそらくカメラを持って行く必要はないと思います。
飲み物とタオルだけ持っていけば、全てレンタル込み参加できるのでそこもグッドでした。

I participated separately with my friends!
Kawahirabay, the Blue Cave, and Arakawa Falls—each one was an amazing memory!
The tour content was wonderful, but the instructor was incredibly kind!
I received a lot of photos and was able to post them on Instagram right away!
It was a perfect tour, 100 out of 100!
友達と一緒に別々に申し込んで参加しました！
川平湾、青の洞窟、荒川の滝、どれを取っても最高の思い出です！
ツアー内容も素晴らしかったんですが、インストラクターさんがとにかく親切でした！
写真も大量にもらえて、早速インスタにあげることができました！
100点満点のツアーでした〜！

I have participated in various tours, but I highly recommend this one. Here are the highlights:
1. The guides are kind.
→ They gently taught me how to paddle on the SUP even when I was struggling at the beginning, and their smiles during the activities were wonderful.
2. There were multiple guides, so I was able to hear a lot about Ishigaki Island. They shared insights that only locals would know.
3. I could choose between SUP and canoeing.
→ I initially joined with SUP, but I was able to switch to canoeing with another participant. It was quite flexible in that regard (laughs).
4. They took a lot of photos.
→ It was a full-day tour, and they took tons of pictures (laughs). Not only did I receive them for free, but I also got them on the same day, which I thought was fantastic!
色んなツアーに参加しましたが、ここのツアーはおススメだと思います。
おススメポイントをまとめました。
①ガイドの方が優しい。
→序盤でSUPの動きが変でも優しく教えてくれたり、アクティビティ中の笑顔が素敵でした。
②ガイドの方が複数いたので、たくさん石垣島のお話ができてよかったです。地元民しか知らないようなことも教えていただけました。
③SUPもカヌーも選べた。
→最初SUPで参加したのですが、他に参加した方と交換してカヌーもできました。割とその辺りは自由でした(笑)
④写真を沢山撮ってくれる。
→1日ツアーでしたが、写真を山ほど撮ってくれます(笑)無料でもらえるだけでなく、その日中にもらえたので、その点も素晴らしいと思いました！

I finally made it to Ishigaki Island, which I had wanted to visit for a long time. I didn't want to waste a single day, so I was looking for a tour that would allow me to do various activities in one day, and I found this one. The sea was far more beautiful than it looked in the photos, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding while relaxing. Additionally, they took a lot of photos and sent them to me on the same day, making it a very satisfying day.
ずっと行きたかった石垣島にやっとこれ１日も無駄にしたくなく何か１日で色んな事ができるツアーがないか調べてたらこちらにたどりつきました。
写真で見るよりはるかに海が綺麗でそこでシュノーケリング、サップができのんびり楽しむことができました。
さらに写真もたくさん撮って頂きその日中に送ってくださり大満足の１日です。

I wanted to visit Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, so I signed up for this Ishigaki Island Full-Day Tour. I was alone, but I'm glad I participated. I had experiences that I could never normally have. I had a great time at Kabira Bay, even getting stuck on purpose, and I went diving in the Blue Cave. The guide was kind and always responded with a smile. I was moved by the hospitality. Thank you!
川平湾と青の洞窟に行ってみたかったので、こちらの石垣島1日大満喫ツアーに申し込みました。1人でしたが、参加してよかったです。普段絶対できないような体験ができました。カビラ湾ではしゃいで、わざとハマったり、、青の洞窟では、潜ってみたり、、ガイドの方も親切でずっと笑顔で対応してくださいました。ホスピタリティに感動です。ありがとうございます。

I signed up and participated with my friend. Since it was a rare opportunity to be in Ishigaki Island, I decided to fully enjoy myself and signed up for this plan. It was a windy day, but with the guidance of the instructor, I was able to have fun safely. I also made friends with other participants, and we ended up drinking together at an izakaya that night, which became a memorable experience.
Kabira Bay was truly beautiful, and the Blue Cave was really blue!
Next, I want to visit the sister store on Iriomote Island.
友達とそれぞれ申し込んで参加しました。せっかくの石垣島なので、がっつり遊ぼうと思い、こちらのプランを申し込みました。風の強い日でしたが、なんとかガイドの方に誘導してもらい、安全に楽しむことができました。他に参加していた方とも仲良くなって、その夜に居酒屋で一緒に飲んだりして、そういうのも思い出になりました。
川平湾は本当に綺麗でしたし、青の洞窟は本当に青かったです！
次は姉妹店の西表島にも行きたいと思います。

I knew about Ishigaki Island, but this was my first time visiting, and I was very excited. The guide was kind and provided thorough explanations, allowing me to enjoy myself without any worries. I appreciate the attentive service from start to finish. The sea was beautiful, and I had a wonderfully pleasant day; I am truly happy. Thank you very much!
石垣島の存在は知っていましたが、
今回が初めてで、とても興奮しました。

何も心配する事なく、思う存分楽しむことができました。
最初から最後まで、ご丁寧な対応感謝致します。

I was moved by the incredibly clear and transparent sea. I think this is the most beautiful ocean I have ever seen in my life. It was truly the best day, being able to snorkel in the Blue Cave and do stand-up paddleboarding in Kabira Bay. I also took a lot of wonderful photos, creating memories for a lifetime. The guide was kind and funny, making it the best tour ever. Thank you so much!
あまりにも透明で透き通った海に感動しました。
こんな綺麗な海は生まれて初めて見たと思います^ ^
そんな青の洞窟でシュノーケルと川平湾のsupができ本当に最高の１日でした。
素敵な写真もいっぱい撮って頂き一生の思い出です。
ガイドさんも優しくて面白くて最高のツアーでした。
本当にありがとうございました。

Both of us were inexperienced with SUP, so we were quite nervous, but once we got on, it was surprisingly stable, and we were able to ride smoothly (there's a briefing on how to ride and paddle at the beginning of the tour). It was an activity I had always wanted to try, so I was very satisfied to have such a valuable experience in the beautiful sea (since our bottoms and feet got wet, I think it's a good idea to wear quick-drying sportswear). The snorkeling was also conducted carefully, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind (there was a free rental for wetsuits). It was my first time seeing so many fish at once, and it was truly moving. Additionally, the guide was attentive and checked on us frequently to see if we were tired, which left a strong impression. The fact that they provided a tour briefing the day before and gave us photos during the tour is also a plus. Above all, the guide was very pleasant from the moment we met and made a genuine effort to ensure we had fun, which really showed. Thanks to that, we made great memories. I'm grateful.
SUPは2人とも未経験だったのでとても緊張していたのですが、いざ乗ってみると思いのほか安定していて、スムーズに乗ることができました（ツアーの初めに乗り方や漕ぎ方のレクチャーがあります）。ずっとやってみたかったアクティビティだったので、きれいな海で貴重な体験ができ大満足でした（お尻や足元が濡れたので、乾きやすいスポーツウェアなどを着ていくといいかと思います）。シュノーケリングも丁寧に進行して下さり、安心して楽しむことができました（ウエットスーツは無料の貸し出しがありました）。あんなにたくさんの魚を一度に見たのは初めてで感動です。また、ガイドのお兄さんが疲れていないかこまめに気遣ってくださったのが印象的でした。前日にツアーの案内をしてくださるのとツアー中の写真を頂けるのも評価点です。そしてなによりも、担当ガイドのお兄さんが出会った時からとても感じが良く、一生懸命楽しませてくれようとしているのが伝わりました。おかげで良い思い出ができました。感謝です。

I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time. I was worried about snorkeling and canoeing since it was my first time, but the guide noticed and stayed with me the whole time, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy myself. They also took care of us during breaks, so thank you very much for everything until the end. The sea was beautiful, and the tour was very satisfying, making it a truly fulfilling trip.
はじめて石垣島に来ました。
シュノーケルとカヌーもはじめてで、できるか心配だったのですがガイドさんが気づいて、ずっと付き添ってくれたので安心して楽しむ事ができました。
休憩中なんかも面倒を見てくださったり最後まで本当にありがとうございました。海も綺麗でツアーも大満足でとても充実した旅行となりました。

Since I had no plans, thanks to Mr. Kobayashi, my trip was fulfilling, and the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to see various creatures and plants, making it a truly satisfying tour. I definitely want to come back again. I look forward to your assistance next time.

I participated in a tour that included stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, snorkeling in the Blue Cave, and playing in a waterfall pool. Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I joined without knowing much, but the staff taught me various things, which made me feel at ease. I had no problems with SUP for the first time, and snorkeling was refreshing and comfortable. At the end, we received photos, some of which I couldn't remember when they were taken, and it was nice to see my genuine self enjoying the experience. I highly recommend this tour.
川平湾のサップと青の洞窟シュノーケリング、滝壺遊びのツアーに参加いたしました。
石垣島には初めて来たので、何も知らない事が多いまま参加したのですが、スタッフさんが色んな事を教えてくれたので、安心して参加できました。初めてのSUPも全く問題なくでき、シュノーケリングもひんやりで快適でした。
最後に写真をいただけるので、いつ撮ったのかわからない写真もあり、楽しんでいる素の自分も見れて新鮮でした。お勧めできるツアーです。

The weather was great, making it the perfect day!
In the morning, I went snorkeling. There were lots of fish around the Blue Cave, and they were so friendly, coming close to me, which was adorable!
I also saw a clownfish for the first time.
After a break, I had a SUP experience at Kabira Bay. The SUP experience was easier than I expected, and by the end, I was able to maneuver it freely!
The guide took beautiful photos throughout, and at the end, they gifted them to us, so I was happy to have those memories captured!
Next time, I want to join the Iriomote Island store of Pipi!
天気も良く最高の1日でした！
午前はシュノーケリング。青の洞窟の周りはお魚がいっぱいいて、人懐っこく近寄ってきたりして可愛かったです！
カクレクマノミも初めて見ました。
休憩の後、川平湾のSUP体験でした。SUP体験は思ったより、難しくなく最後の方は自由に操れるようになれました！
ガイドさんが終始綺麗な写真も撮ってくださり、しかも最後にプレゼントしてくださり、思い出が形として残せたので、嬉しかったです！
今度はピピさんの西表島店にも参加してみたいです！

We participated as a pair.
I heard that February often has bad weather, so I was worried, but on the day of the tour, it was beautifully sunny!
Our guide was a young man who spoke very politely and shared various information and fun stories about Ishigaki Island during the car ride, so we arrived at our destination in no time!
The tour itself was fantastic. It was my first time snorkeling, but they taught us how to do it from the very beginning, and we saw so many fish!
During the SUP tour at Kabira Bay, the beauty was like paradise, and I was able to relax and enjoy my first SUP experience.
What made me the happiest was the photo service. After dropping us off at the hotel, we received over 100 beautiful photos!!!
Thanks to this spirit of service and hospitality, I was able to enjoy the rest of my trip with a happy heart.
Thank you very much!
2人で参加しました。
2月は天気が良くない日が多いらしく、不安だったのですが、当日は最高の晴れ模様でした！
ガイドさんは若い男性で、言葉遣いも非常に丁寧で移動中の車内で色々な石垣島の情報や楽しいお話をしていただいたので、あっという間に目的地に着いてしまいました！
肝心のツアーも最高です。シュノーケリングは初めてだったのですが、最初からやり方を教えてくださり、お魚も沢山見れました！
川平湾のSUPツアーでは、天国みたいな美しさではじめてのSUPも落ち着いてできました。
一番嬉しかったのは、写真のサービスです。ホテルまで送ってくださった後に写真をいただけるのですが、綺麗な写真が100枚以上もありました！！！
このサービス精神やおもてなしの心に幸せな気持ちで残りの旅行を過ごす事ができました。

I may have imagined it too perfectly, but it wasn't as beautiful as I thought it would be. The tour's promotional photos seem to be overly flattering. Haha.
That said, it was nice to have hot drinks and blankets provided, and the service was very pleasant.
自分があまりに良く想像していただけかもしれませんが、思ったより綺麗ではなかったです。ツアーのP R写真は綺麗に映りすぎているような気がします。笑
とはいっても、ホットドリンクや毛布を提供してくださったりと、とても気持ちの良い接客でよかったです。

I was moved to see the Milky Way. Although I can see some stars from my home, I was truly impressed to experience the Milky Way. I also recognized the Pleiades and was thrilled to see six shining stars through binoculars! We were three ladies who were grateful to have been able to see it, even though we signed up on the day of the event.
天の川が見えて、感動でした。
自宅でもそこそこ星は見える地域ではありますが、天の川が実感できたのには感動。また、昴もわかり、双眼鏡での観察で６つに光る星も見え、感激‼️‼️
当日申し込みしたにもかかわらず、見れたことに感謝したおばさん３人組でした。

It was said that the moonlight was quite strong near the full moon, making it difficult to see the stars, but when I looked through the binoculars, I was able to see many small stars. I really wanted to see a sky full of stars, so I hope to have a chance to try again. The guide's explanations about the constellations were very easy to understand, and it was great to see things like the moon's craters through the telescope, which I normally wouldn't be able to see.
満月に近く、月の明かりがかなり強くて星は見えにくいと言われていたのですが、双眼鏡で覗くと小さい星もたくさん見えました。
できれば空一面の星空が本当は見たかったのですが、機会があればぜひリベンジしたいと思います。
ガイドの方の星座のお話もとてもわかりやすく、天体望遠鏡で月のクレーターなど普段なら見れない物も見れて良かったです。

I aimed to book on the day with the best weather forecast during my stay in Ishigaki Island. It was very sunny during the day, and I was excited to participate, but when we arrived at the site by bus, it was completely cloudy. It seems that the weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, and after waiting for about 15 minutes while hoping for the best, the event was canceled (ToT). There's nothing you can do about that.
I received a full refund (though the bus fare was charged). However, I was really looking forward to stargazing in Ishigaki, so I kept an eye on the sky until the last minute the next day and applied again on a whim. When we arrived, in stark contrast to the previous day, there was no wind and absolutely no clouds! The weather really played tricks on us, haha.
Since it was just before the full moon, the moonlight was very bright, making it a bit difficult to see the stars, but using binoculars made it much clearer, and above all, the moon was incredibly beautiful. It was also great that we were able to take turns looking through the telescope. The explanations were very easy to understand and enjoyable, which made it really great. I ended up going two days in a row, but I’m so glad I was able to have my revenge! I think I will go again if I have the chance!
石垣島滞在中でいちばん天気がいい予報の日を狙って申込み。昼はとても天気でワクワクして参加したのですが、バスで現地につくと雲だらけ。。石垣島は天気が変わりやすいらしく、15分ほど期待しながらお話を聞いてましたが中止決定(ToT)
こればかりはしょうがないですね。
全額返金されました（バス代はかかります）。
でも石垣島で星を見ることを楽しみにしていたので、翌日のギリギリの時間まで空をみつつ、ダメ元で申込みしました。
現地につくと、昨日とはうってかわって無風で雲も全く無し！ホント天気予報泣かせですね笑。
満月直前だったので月明かりがとても明るく、星は見え辛い日でしたが双眼鏡を使うのでよく見えますし、何より月がとてもとてもキレイでした。望遠鏡で順番に見せて頂けたのもすごく良かったです。
お話もとても分かりやすく楽しくすごく良かったです。２日連続行ってしまいましたがリベンジできて本当に行って良かったです！
また機会があれば行くと思います！

I had seen many stars from the top of a mountain, but it was my first time seeing them from over the ocean. From the ocean, there was nothing obstructing the view, and I was able to see so many beautiful stars! They also explained the constellations, and I had a really enjoyable time.
山の上からたくさんの星を観たことはありましたがら海の上から観たのは初めてでした。海の上からだと遮るものもなく、本当にキレイな星がたくさん見ることができました！星座の説明もしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

The guide was fun and explained everything clearly, which was great. It was cold, so I appreciated the consideration of providing blankets. However, things related to nature are inevitably affected by the weather at that time. It must be much more beautiful normally, but it was a bit disappointing due to the clouds. Still, they did their best to provide service given the circumstances.
案内してくれる方が楽しくわかりやすく説明してくださり、とても良かったです。寒かったので毛布などの配慮もありがたかったです。ただ、やはり自然に関するものはどうしてもそのときの天候に左右されてしまいますね。本来もっときれいなんでしょうが、雲が多くて少し残念でした。でもそのときなりの状況で精いっぱいサービスしていただきました。

The cloudy sky had some gaps where stars were finally visible here and there. I had planned to see the Milky Way clearly, but it ended up being just a glimpse in my mind's eye. Also, it might be difficult due to the operation of the boat, but since we were offshore within the range of city lights, it seems that seeing the stars beautifully is quite challenging.
曇り空でところどころの雲の切れ間からようやく星がちらほら。
がっつり天の川を見るつもりだったので、心の目で見る程度になってしまいました。
と、船の運行上難しいのかもしれませんが、街の明かりが届く範囲の沖なので、やはりきれいに星を見るのは難しいのかなぁ。

The sky was cloudy, and I couldn't find the North Star at all. I wondered if this is what the starry sky in Ishigaki Island is like... The constellations weren't fully visible, which was disappointing.

The night before, we suddenly decided that we wanted to see the starry sky and made the decision to participate.
However, unfortunately, around 5:00 PM on the day of the event, we received a message saying, "Due to the clouds, there is a possibility that we won't be able to see the starry sky today. Would you still like to participate?" Since we were coming from afar and it’s not easy to visit Ishigaki Island, and although there were clouds during the day, there were also clear skies, I thought it would be better to take the challenge rather than give up in this weather! In the end, I decided to participate! I had a hard time making the decision, but I was impressed by how kindly the staff answered our questions and concerns over the phone (o^^o).
Around 9:00 PM, as we got off the bus with excitement...
the starry sky was breathtaking (≧∀≦)! The staff's explanation using a laser light was easy to understand, and we were also able to see the moon that night, which was exhilarating. During the approximately one hour of viewing time, we were able to see the starry sky for more than half of the time without clouds, which made us very satisfied!
For those who are hesitant because of the possibility of not being able to see the starry sky, I recommend taking the chance to participate if you have the time and money to spare.
On the other hand, there were a couple of things I would like to see improved.
1. I would like to be informed in advance about the prohibition of photography on-site. I had planned to take photos with my camera that day, but it was not allowed. I think it would be great to include a note about this in the tour details beforehand.
2. I would like to know the dress code. It got very cold at the site at night. I think many people only brought light clothing to Ishigaki Island. Although they lent us blankets on-site, I still felt that it was not enough to keep warm. I wish this could have been confirmed in the tour details before participating.
前日夜に急遽『星空が観てみたい！』ということになり、参加を決めました。
しかし残念ながら、当日17:00ごろに『本日は雲が多いため、星空が観れない可能性があります。それでもご参加されますか？』という連絡が。。
遠方からの参加で石垣島にはなかなか来れず、また日中は雲は見受けられたものの晴れ間が広がっていたのでこの天候の中諦めるよりはチャレンジしたい…！と思い、最終的に参加する判断をしました！！
なかなか参加を決められずにいましたが、電話で私たちの質問や相談に丁寧にご回答してくださったのが好印象でした(o^^o)
夜21時ごろ、ドキドキしながらバスを降りたところ…。
満点の星空が見える(≧∀≦)！！
レーザーライトを使ったスタッフさんの説明が分かりやすく、またこの日は月も一緒に見ることができ、大興奮でした。
約1時間の鑑賞時間のうち、半分以上の時間は雲に隠れない星空を見ることができ大満足！
星空を見れない可能性がある…と連絡がきて迷われている方は、お金と時間に余裕があればぜひ参加する方に挑戦いただくのがオススメです。
一方で、改善していただきたいことが2点ほどありました。
①現地での写真撮影禁止を事前に教えてほしい。
当日はカメラを持っていき写真撮影をする予定でしたが不可でした。ぜひ事前に一言、ツアー詳細に掲載していただきたいと思います。
②服装の目安を教えてほしい。
夜の現地はとても冷え込みました。石垣島には薄手の服しか持参されていない方も多いと思います。
現地ではブランケットを貸していただきましたが、それだけでは足りない寒さを感じました。
こちらも参加前にツアー詳細で確認できたら良かったな、と思います。

At first, I thought I would just be shown to my seat and left to look around, but then the guide started. The way they spoke and guided us was very pleasant, and the hour flew by. I had originally booked for the first day, but changed it to the next day due to the weather forecast. On the day I changed, they kindly contacted me to say that the weather might not be very good. They asked how I wanted to proceed, which really touched my heart. The explanations were timely, and I was drawn into the world of stars. I feel like I'm going to love stargazing even more from now on. I happened to be there on a full moon, and I was able to see the entire moon clearly through the telescope, which was very moving. If I have the chance again, I will definitely participate. The pointer is amazing!
始め、席に案内され、勝手に見るだけなのかな？と思ったら、ガイドが始まりました
お話の仕方や進め方がとても心地よく、あっという間の1時間でした。
当初初日に予約してましたが、天気予報から翌日へ変更。
変更した当日はわざわざご連絡いただき、もしかしたらあまり天気に恵まれないかも？どうしますか？との心遣いに心うたれました笑
タイムリーに説明を受け、引き込まれるように星の世界へ。
今後、星空がますます好きになりそうです。
たまたま満月にあたり、望遠鏡で月の全体をハッキリ見せていただき、とても感動しました。
また機会があったら必ず参加させていただきます。

Unfortunately, the originally scheduled tour date was canceled due to cloudy weather. Since stargazing was a major goal of my trip to Ishigaki Island, I rescheduled for the next day and participated in the tour. The daytime weather was decent, so I was hopeful that the view would be nice! However, by the start time, there was a thick cloud cover, and I could barely see Mars peeking through the clouds (laughs).
It was disappointing, but since the moon was close to being full, I was able to enjoy moon gazing with the telescope that was provided, and I could see the craters! Although I couldn't see the stars I was aiming for, I was satisfied with the moonlight bath and the enjoyable stories about the night sky.
I would definitely like to try again, and I rated the experience a bit lower, but I’m glad I participated in the tour this time. Next time I join, I plan to research the phases of the moon thoroughly so I can go and enjoy a perfect starry sky. Thank you!
もともと予定していた参加日があいにくの曇り空だったためツアーが中止となりました。石垣島旅行は星空鑑賞が大きな目的だったので次の日に日付変更し、ツアー参加させていただきました。日中の天気はまずまずだったので綺麗に見えるかも！と期待しながら参加！…したものの開始時間になると分厚い曇り空で、雲の合間から火星がなんとか見えるくらいでした(笑)
残念でしたが月が満月に近かったこともあり、用意していただいていた望遠鏡で月鑑賞をし、クレーターまで見ることができました！
お目当ての星空は見れませんでしたが月光浴と、楽しい星空のお話を聞くことができ、満足です！
ぜひリベンジしたいと思い、評価は低めとさせていただきましたが今回ツアーに参加できてよかったです。次回参加する際は、月の満ち欠けなどよくよく調べてから満点の星空を眺めに行きたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。
