All Reviews for Night Tours

We couldn't discover it ourselves. We saw a coconut crab that the instructor brought from somewhere. Also, it was disappointing that the starry sky was cloudy.

自分達で発見できず。インストラクターさんがどこからか持ってきたヤシガニを見ました。あと星空は曇っていたので残念でした。

The night view of Ishigaki Island and the starry sky were very beautiful. Although I couldn't find the coconut crab or the owl, I appreciated the guide who was diligently searching for them. The light of the fireflies at night on Ishigaki Island was quite charming.

石垣島の夜景、星空がとても綺麗でした。
ヤシガニやフクロウは発見することは出来ませんでしたが、一生懸命探しているガイドさんに好感をもてました。石垣島の夜に見るホタルの光は乙なものでした。

At the beginning of the tour, I was disappointed because the stars were hidden by clouds and hard to see, but the staff shared stories about the stars and found creatures like coconut crabs, stick insects, and fireflies like hunters. I was excited to see so many creatures for the first time. Since we couldn't see many stars, they took us to a beautiful spot where we could enjoy the night view of Ishigaki Island instead. The staff's service and lively personality added to the experience, making it a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour!

ツアーが始まった当初は、星が雲に隠れてあまり見れずガッカリでしたが、スタッフさんが星にまつわる話しをしてくれたり、ハンターの様にヤシガニやナナフシ、ホタル等見つけてれました。
初めて見る生き物だらけでテンション上がりました。
星があまり見れなかったので、その代わり綺麗な石垣島の夜景が見れる場所へ案内してくれました。スタッフさんのサービスと元気なキャラクターもプラスされとても満喫した楽しいツアーでした！

It was a full moon, so the starry sky was hard to see, but not only that, the guide shared interesting information about creatures like hermit crabs and coconut crabs, as well as plants and culture. (Thank you so much, Mr. Furuta and Mr. Kubo. I had a great time.)

満月だったので星空は見づらかったですが、
それだけでなくヤドカリやヤシガニを始めとした生き物、植物、文化についてガイドさんが面白く教えてくれました。(古田さん・久保さん本当にありがとうございました。とても楽しかったです)

This is my first time in Ishigaki Island! Due to the flight schedule, I could only participate at night.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and I was lucky enough to see shooting stars!!

I was also moved to see half of the coconut crab!

I didn't think I would be very interested in bugs, but surprisingly, I enjoyed it!!!

The guide was kind and taught us a lot, so it was educational!

However, there were some very loud customers, and I wanted to enjoy it quietly, which was a bit disappointing. Cry

I guess that's just luck...

初めての石垣島です！飛行機の都合上
夜しか動けないため参加してみました。

星空凄い綺麗で流れ星も見れてラッキーでした！！

ヤシガニさんも半分体見れて感動でした！

あんまり虫かとか興味ないなーと思いましたが
意外に楽しめました！！！
ガイドさんも優しい感じで色々教えてくれたので
勉強になりました！


他のお客様で凄いうるさい方ばかりで
静かに見たかったのですが
ちょっと残念でした。泣

それも運ですね‥

I participated alone. I came to Ishigaki for diving, but I thought I would try something different and joined this activity. In the end, I really felt that it was a good decision to participate. It was cloudy, so I couldn't see the starry sky, but I was able to see the sparkling night view of Ishigaki city and learn about various marine life! There were so many things I saw for the first time. There were fireflies, and I was surprised because it was my first time seeing such fireflies; it completely changed my previous image... The frogs were cute too!

一人で参加しました。
石垣にはダイビングをしに来たのですが、違うこともしようと思って参加致しました。
結果、ほんとに参加して良かったと思いました。
曇りだったので、星空は見れませんでしたが、石垣の街のキラキラした夜景を見れて、そして石垣の色々な生体を知ることができました!
初めて見るものだらけです。
ホタルがいたのですが、こんなホタルみたの初めてでビックリ今までのイメージが…
カエルも可愛かった!!

I participated because I felt it would be a waste to end my solo trip by just going out for drinks at night. I thought it might be geared towards children, but I was able to hear various stories about Ishigaki and see some rare creatures. It was a pity that we couldn't see the stars due to the weather, but thanks to the bright and enthusiastic staff, it became a wonderful memory of my trip.

一人旅故に夜は飲みに行って終わるのがもったいなく思い参加。子供向けかなと思いきや石垣の色々な話を聞くことができ、珍しい生き物を見ることができました。天候のせいで星は見られなく残念でしたが、明るく熱心なスタッフさんのおかげで旅の良き思い出となりました。

I have visited Ishigaki Island before, but this was my first time participating in the night safari. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, so we couldn't enjoy stargazing, but instead, we were taken to the beautiful night view at Banna Park! During the night safari, I was able to see many rare creatures unique to the Yaeyama Islands, such as coconut crabs, black-breasted leaf turtles, and Ryukyu scops owls. I was surprised to encounter so many of them. The guide was also cheerful and a great storyteller, making it a fun tour.

石垣島には以前訪れたことがあるのですが、ナイトサファリは今回初めて参加しました。
あいにく小雨が降っており、星空鑑賞はできませんでしたが、そのかわりバンナ公園の素敵な夜景に連れていっていただきました！
ナイトサファリではヤシガニやセマルハコガメ、リュウキュウコノハズクなど八重山固有の珍しい生き物をたくさん見ることができました。こんなに出会えるとは思わなかったのでびっくりしました。
ガイドのお兄さんも明るく話上手で、楽しいツアーになりました。

The galaxy, owls, bats, and coconut crabs. Not only did I enjoy the beautiful night sky, but also the great outdoors. The guide was also incredibly entertaining.

銀河、フクロウ、コウモリ、ヤシガニ。美しい夜空だけではなく、大自然も満喫。ガイドさんも最高に面白かった。

I definitely wanted to see the starry sky when I came to Ishigaki Island, so I booked this tour. They picked me up from the hotel and we headed to the stargazing spot first. The guide, who was very knowledgeable about Ishigaki Island, took us to two locations. At first, there were a few clouds, but it gradually cleared up, and we could see a stunning starry sky and the Milky Way perfectly. The explanations about the constellations were also very enjoyable. After fully enjoying the starry sky by lying on our backs and taking photos, we headed into the jungle.

We were able to see rare turtles, precious hermit crabs, and really large bats, and the guide introduced us to many animals.

During the drive back, I was able to hear a lot about recommended places and Okinawa, making it a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much!!

石垣島に来たら絶対に星空を見たいと思い、このツアーを予約しました。
ホテルに迎えに来ていただき、最初は星空スポットへ。
石垣島にとても詳しいガイドさんが、二箇所案内してくれました。
最初雲が少しかかっていましたが、だんだん晴れてきて、満点の星空と天の川もバッチリ見えました。星座の解説などもしていただき、とても楽しかったです。
仰向けで星を見たり、写真撮影などをしていただき充分星空を満喫した後に、ジャングルへ。

珍しい亀や貴重なヤドカリ、すごく大きなコウモリなど見ることができ、たくさんの動物を紹介していただきました。

送迎の道中も、おすすめの場所や沖縄のことをたくさん聞けて、大満足のツアーでした。

ありがとうございました！！

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。

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！

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！

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➰✨

The guide was really interesting and fun. I encountered many creatures I had never seen before, and I even came across a snake. Above all, the starry sky was so beautiful that it felt like a dream, and I didn't want to go home...

ガイドのお兄ちゃん、すごく面白く楽しかったです。
今までみたことの生き物と続々と出会い、ハブにも遭遇しました。
そして、何よりも星空がキレイすぎで、夢みたい
、帰りたくはなかったです。。。

We participated with two children and four people in total. The night safari was an exciting adventure. The guides were very kind and supportive to the children, helping us find many creatures, and we encountered more animals than we expected. They provided detailed explanations about the creatures, Ishigaki Island, and the starry sky. It was nice to have a more intimate and private feel compared to larger tours. The starry sky and shooting stars were a lucky treat, and they also taught us about many constellations. We were even shown a beautiful night view, making it a memorable tour. Thank you so much for everything!

子供2人と4名で参加させていただきました。
ナイトサファリはドキドキの冒険でした。
子供達にも優しくサポートして下さり、生き物を2人のガイドさんでよくよく探してくれて、思ったよりたくさんの生き物に出会えました。
生き物や石垣島の説明や星空の説明もとても詳しく教えてくれました。大人数のツアーよりアットホームでプライベート感もあって良かったです。
満点の星空と流れ星はラッキーでしたが、たくさんの星座も教えて下さり、おまけの夜景も見せていただき心に残るツアーになりました。本当にお世話になりました！！

The stargazing tour was too bright due to the full moon, so we did a lot of night safaris instead. It was a rare experience to see wild snakes and scorpions, not just in a zoo. They provided thorough explanations regarding safety, and as long as you listen carefully to the guide, you can enjoy it without any issues.

星空ツアーは満月のため明るすぎると言うことで、ナイトサファリを多くやって頂きました。動物園ではなく、野生のハブやサソリが観れたのは貴重な経験でした。安全に対してもしっかり説明して頂けましたし、しっかりガイドさんの話を聞けば問題無く楽しむことができます。

It was cloudy, so the starry sky was almost not visible, but I was able to see coconut crabs and I was satisfied with the jungle night tour. Thank you very much.

曇っていたため、星空はほぼ見えませんでしたが、ヤシガニなども見れてジャングルナイトツアーは満足でした。有り難うございました。

At first, I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the staff really enhanced the tour. I was able to see coconut crabs, flying foxes, hermit crabs, rhinoceros beetles, and a beautiful starry sky, making it a very enjoyable tour.

　一人での参加ということで初めは不安もありましたが、職員の方々がツアーを盛り上げてくれ、ヤシガニ、オオコウモリ、オカヤドカリ、サイカブト、綺麗な星空などを見ることが出来、非常に楽しいツアーとなりました。

The guide was very kind, and it turned out to be a fun tour. It was disappointing that we didn't see many animals, but I understand that it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it. I thought it might have been better to join a tour during a different season. My parents were looking forward to the constellations, so even though we changed the date on short notice due to the weather, they responded quickly, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky despite a few clouds.

ガイドをしていただいた方がとても親切で楽しいツアーになりました。
動物があまり見れなかったのは残念でしたが自然が相手なのでしょうがないと納得、やはり時期を選んだツアーに参加した方が良かったのかなと思いました
星座は親が楽しみにしていたので、天気をみて急遽日にちを変更しても、すばやく対応していただき少し雲があったけど綺麗な星空が見れました

I participated in stargazing and a night safari on Ishigaki Island. I was impressed by the polite guidance and explanations. Since it was winter, they worked hard to find the coconut crab, which is quite rare. In the end, we didn't see it, but we were able to see many large hermit crabs that you can't find on the mainland, as well as some incredibly small ones. Although it was only about two hours, it felt like no time at all.

The most impressive moment was when we were in the area where the owls (specifically the ear owl) that only inhabit the island are found. While I was driving normally, the guide suddenly pointed and said, "Look, an owl!" When I looked in the direction he was pointing, I was amazed to see an owl sitting on a power line. I thought it was incredible that he spotted it, especially since it was completely dark with no streetlights around. Thank you very much! If I have the chance to go to Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to participate once more.

石垣島での星空観賞とナイトサファリに参加しました
丁寧な案内と説明には感動しました。
冬場なのでなかなか見つからないヤシガニを一生懸命にさがしてくれました。
結局は見れませんでしたが　本土では見られない大きなやどかりや逆に物凄く
小さなヤドカリやらいっぱいみられて二時間ほどでしたが　あっという間でした。一番感動したのは、島にしか生息しないふくろう（みみずく）がいる辺り
普通に車を運転していたのに　あっふくろうと言って　ガイドさんの指刺す方向を見たら　びっくり！電線の上にふくろうが　普通に車うんてしていてしかも辺りは外灯もなく真っ暗の中で良く見つけたのものだと思いました。有難うございました。また　石垣島に行くことがあれば　是非もう一度参加したいと思います。

It was possible to cancel even at the meeting time on the night of the event. The weather was not great, but since the date was limited, I decided to go ahead with it! The guide was friendly and kind. However, I think those who really want to see the stars or various plants should consider the timing before participating.

当日の夜集合時点でもキャンセル可能とのことでしたお天気は決していいとは言えませんでしたが、日にちも限られていたのでそのままお願いしました！ガイドさんは気さくで親切です。ただどうしても星が見たい方や色々な植物などが見れると思って参加される方は時期なども考慮して参加されたほうが良いかと思いました。

I had to change the pickup location suddenly around 4:30 PM on the day of the tour, but they kindly accommodated my request. During the drive to and from the location, the guide found owls and snakes, making the journey enjoyable. We were blessed with good weather and got to see a beautiful starry sky and coconut crabs, making it a very satisfying tour. Thank you!

当日の午後4時半位に送迎場所を急遽変更したのですが、快く応じてくださいました。行き帰りの車の中でも、ガイドさんがフクロウや蛇を見つけてくれたり、移動中も楽しかったです。お天気にも恵まれ、キレイな星空やヤシガニも見れて大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

The starry sky and night view at Banna Park were absolutely wonderful, and I could have watched them forever. During my stroll along Ohama Beach, I was lucky enough to see bats, frogs, hermit crabs, and even coconut crabs. The guide was very personable, sharing various information and even making light jokes, which made the experience even better.

バンナ公園で見る星空も夜景もとっても素敵で、いつまでも見ていられそうでした。大浜海岸の散策ではコウモリ、カエル、ヤドカリにヤシガニまで見ることができて幸運でした。ガイドのお兄さんもいろんな情報を話してくれたり、軽く冗談を交えてくれたりと大変好感の持てる方で良かったです。

The stargazing and night safari tour was a nature-based experience, so it's understandable, but during the tour, we saw plenty of hermit crabs. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and we couldn't see the starry sky at the observation deck, which was disappointing. Next time, I want to see a sky full of stars on a clear day.

星空観賞とナイトサファリのツアーということで、自然相手のツアーなので仕方ないですが、ツアー中、ヤドカリはたくさん見れましたが、天気が曇で星空が展望台で全く見れなかったのが残念です。次は晴れた日に満天の星空を見たい。

You can receive a call before departure. If there are clouds and it seems like the stars won't be visible, same-day cancellations are possible. In the end, I felt uneasy about the thickness of the clouds and requested to change the date, but they kindly accepted my request. For those who definitely want to see the stars, you can apply without hesitation and feel assured. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the Southern Cross, but walking in the pitch dark nature, relying on a flashlight, is an experience that you can't easily have alone. I participated with a focus on the stars, but I also enjoyed the wildlife, and I highly recommend it.

出発前にお電話をいただけます。雲が出ていて星が見えなそうであれば、当日取消も可能ということでした。結局、雲の厚さに不安を感じ、日にちの変更をお願いしましたが、快く受けていただけました。星を必ず見たいと思っている方は、躊躇なく申し込んでも安心です。残念ながら、南十字星は見られませんでしたが、一人では絶対いけない、真っ暗な自然の中を、懐中電灯を頼りに歩くのは、なかなかできない体験だと思います。星重視で参加しましたが、野生も楽しめておすすめです。

I couldn't see anything in the reviews! However, I participated in various tours in Hokkaido, so I understand that the chances of encountering wildlife are low. Still, the experience of walking through the jungle on Iriomote Island was indeed difficult without a guide, but I was able to catch glimpses of various ecosystems. I was able to see the starry sky during the tour, so I recommend participating during the new moon.

レビューで何も見れなかった！等ありますが、北海道等で様々なツアーに参加致しましたので、野性動物等に巡り会える可能性が低いのは承知の上で参加しております。
それでも西表島のジャングルの中を歩く体験は、やはりガイドさん無しでは難しく、様々な生態系を垣間見ることが出来ました。
星空はツアー途中で見ることができましたので、新月の時の参加をオススメします。

We were picked up at the hotel and arrived at the stargazing spot in the dark. It was a cloudy day during the rainy season, but we were able to observe Orion and surrounding stars through the gaps in the clouds. The guide shared the names of the stars and stories from Greek mythology. After that, we moved to the starting point of the night jungle tour, progressing along a narrow path overgrown with vegetation that is rarely seen in the mainland. While searching for wildlife and insects, we only managed to find a hermit crab, a spider, a gecko, and a sand crab, as it was winter. The knowledgeable guide provided information about the names and characteristics of the plants we encountered, and we could also ask about different plants and phenomena that can be seen in other seasons, making me want to visit again in a different season. The day's temperatures were a high of 18°C and a low of 13°C, but it was cold with the north wind when we went out to sea. However, in the jungle, walking around made it feel just right even with a light jacket. They provided us with rubber boots, so we felt secure walking through puddles in the jungle and along the beach.

ホテルまでお迎えに来て頂き、
暗闇の中星空の観測地点に到着。
この時期は雨季に当たるそうで当日は晴れ間も見えた曇りの日でしたが、
雲間からオリオン座と周辺の星を観測することができ、ガイドさんが星の名前やギリシャ神話を教えて下さりました。
その後はナイトジャングルツアーの出発地点まで移動、
「内地」ではなかなか目にすることの無い草木の茂った細道を進みます。
野生動物や昆虫を探しながら進みますが、さすがに冬の時期で発見できたのは「ヤドカリ」「蜘蛛」「ヤモリ」「スナガニ」、あとは潮だまりの魚たちだけでした。
博識なガイドさんがその場その場で植物の名前や知識を教えて下さることはもちろん、違う季節に見られる動植物や現象についても伺うことができ、また是非違う季節にも訪れたいと思いました。
服装としては最高気温18℃、最低気温13℃の一日でしたが海に出ると北風が冷たく寒かったですが、ジャングルの中では歩いていることもあり羽織があっても丁度よく感じる程度で、足元は長靴をお貸し頂けるのでジャングルないの水溜まりや海辺も安心でした。

In January on Ishigaki Island, I was worried about the weather. However, whether it was due to good fortune or because one of the tour participants was a sunny person, I was able to enjoy the best starry sky. The stars viewed from a completely dark place without any streetlights were just like a planetarium. Before seeing the stars, I encountered a coconut crab, frogs, and a hermit crab, and on the way back, I saw an owl perched on a power line. The guide was also very good at storytelling, and I had a wonderful time.

1月の石垣島なので天候が心配でした。
が、日頃の行いが良いのか、ツアー参加者の中に晴れ〇〇〇さんがいたのか
わかりませんが、最高の星空を眺めることができました。
街灯などの灯りがまったくない真っ暗なところで見る星空はプラネタリウム
そのものでした。
星空を見る前に、ヤシガニやカエル、ヤドカリなどにも出会え、帰り道では
電線にフクロウがとまっているのが見えました。
ガイドさんもお話しが上手な方で、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
