This was my second trip to Miyako Island, and this time we decided to try stargazing photography for the first time! I made a reservation for this experience.

The travel date coincided with a full moon, so I was informed in advance that the photos would be taken with moonlight, which helped me visualize what to expect.

On the day of the shoot, I had also made a reservation for dinner, and when I communicated that, they set a meeting time that allowed for plenty of flexibility.

There were some moments of waiting for the clouds to clear, but the shoot went smoothly, and I received about 15 photos, which I am very satisfied with!

At first, it wasn't a starry sky, which was a bit disappointing, but fortunately, it was the day of the supermoon, and the moon was truly beautiful! We were just silhouettes in the photos, but that was nice too. I am very pleased with the final results.

Thank you for this experience!

宮古島旅行は2回目ですが、今回初めて星空フォトをしてみよう！ということになり、こちらを予約させて頂きました。
旅行日は満月で、月明かりでの写真撮影になること、その場合こーゆー仕上がりになりますよ。と事前に確認して頂き、イメージがしやすかったです(*^^*)
撮影の当日は夜ご飯の予約もしていた為、その時間も伝えたところ、待ち合わせもゆとりのある時間で設定していただきました。
撮影は雲待ちとかはありましたがスムーズに終わり、写真も15枚程送って下さり、大変満足しています(≧∇≦*)！！

最初は星空ではなかったので、少し残念な気持ちもありましたが、タイミングよくスーパームーンの日だったのもあり、月が本当に綺麗でした！
自分たちはシルエットのみ。という感じでしたが、それもまた良い♪
仕上がりは大変満足しています(^-^)

今回はありがとうございました(⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎)

For my son, who is usually quite timid, the deep water near the cave entrance and the enchanting darkness were initially quite terrifying, and he ended up crying a lot. However, thanks to the warmth of those around us and the bright and precise guidance from our guide, he was able to participate until the end without any issues. The inside of the cave was a very mystical space; I can't express it well, but it had a beauty unlike anything I've seen before, and it was a sight that purified my heart. The canoe ride to the site was also enjoyable, and thanks to our guide, my son was able to paddle well, making it a very happy experience for him. We truly appreciated this valuable experience.

As for my reflection, I wore a type of swimsuit that exposed my legs, and I noticed some scrapes afterward. If we go again, I would like to participate in leggings or clothing that covers the skin. My husband seemed to have a few scrapes on his palms as well. For those with sensitive skin, it might be a good idea to wear thin gloves while participating. I participated with glasses, but there is a moment at the end where you jump in, so those with glasses or contacts should be careful not to lose them. It seems better to participate with as little as possible. They provide life jackets and sturdy marine shoes, so even though I can't swim, it was not a problem at all. Since we participated with a child who requires a lot of attention, I decided not to bring a camera or smartphone for photos this time, but our guide took many pictures for us and sent the photo data via LINE on the same day (and for free! He even mixed in memorable photos of the surrounding flowers and scenery). I was very happy since I had given up on taking photos, and I’m grateful to have memories for my child.

If the opportunity arises, I would like to bring my son, who will be a bit older, and participate again. Thank you very much.

いつもビビリ腰な息子（低学年）にとって、洞窟入口近くの水深が深い場所や幻想的な暗さは、初めかなりの恐怖だったようで大泣きしてしまいましたが、周囲の方々の温かさと、ガイドしてくださるお兄さんの明るく適確な誘導で無事に最後まで参加することが出来ました。洞窟内はとても神秘的な空間で、、上手く表現できませんが、他では見たことのない美しさで、心が清められる光景でした。現地までのカヌーも、お兄さんのおかげで上手に漕ぐことができて、息子にとって、とても嬉しい体験となりました。貴重な体験をさせていただき、本当にありがとうございました。
私の反省ですが、脚が露出しているタイプの水着を着ていたので、終わってからいくつか擦り傷があることに気付きました。もしまた行くことが出来るならば、次回はレギンスなど肌が覆われた服装で参加したいと思います。主人は掌に擦り傷がいくつかあったようでした。皮膚がデリケートな方は、薄手のグローブなどして参加されてもよいのかもしれません。私は眼鏡で参加しましたが、最後にドボーン！と飛び込む場面があるので、眼鏡やコンタクトの方は無くさないようご注意ください。なるべく何も持たず身につけないで参加する方がよさそうです。ライフジャケットや丈夫なマリンシューズを貸してくださるので、私は泳げませんが全く問題ありませんでした。ウチは手がかかる子と一緒の参加だったので、今回は写真撮影は諦めてカメラやスマホを持って行かなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが写真を沢山撮っておいてくださり、当日中にLINEで写真データをくださいました（しかも無料！周囲の草花や景色など思い出に残る写真も混ぜてくださいました）。写真撮影は諦めていたので、とても嬉しかったです^ ^子どもの思い出に残せてありがたいです。
機会があったら、もう少し成長した息子を連れて、また参加したいです。
本当にありがとうございましたm(_ _)m

I wasn't able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, but I thought the sea would be cold at the end of the year. However, it felt warmer underwater, and I was able to play with beautiful fish.

After snorkeling, we drove to see the limestone caves. I was able to get along well with other customers on the tour, and it was a great experience. I would like to participate again.

The tour instructor was charming and seemed to have moved from the Kanto region to Miyako Island, dreaming of the sea. I had a really enjoyable time.

シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることはできませんでしたが
年末の海はさむいと思いましたが海の中のほうが温かく感じ
きれいなおさかなたちと戯れることができました

シュノーケリング後は鍾乳洞を見るため
車で移動しました。
鍾乳洞までツアーのほかのお客様とも仲良くできて
いいツアーでした、
また参加したいと思います

ツアーのインストラクターさんもかわいらしく関東から宮古島の海にあこがれて移住してきたみたいですごくたのしい時間が過ごせました

We participated as a family of four, with my first-grade daughter, fourth-grade son, and both parents.

It was a much more physically demanding experience than we expected, with a lot of swimming and movement, but it was an incredibly fun tour!

We started snorkeling at Shinjō Beach at 1 PM. The sea was so beautiful that it took my breath away, and we were able to see many fish and both large and small sea turtles!

The sea turtles showed no fear of people at all and came as close as about one meter, which left us a bit bewildered. Our guide, Taro, dove deep into the water to take a perfect family photo with the sea turtles!

Although my daughter isn't a strong swimmer yet and had some moments where she struggled, Taro kindly supported her, so she was smiling and enjoying herself the whole time. My son was also very engaged and participated actively, and the guide was great at keeping him safe while still having fun.

Next, we headed to Pumpkin Cave. Since we took a taxi to the meeting point, we were driven to the Pumpkin meeting spot by our guide's car (an additional 1,000 yen).

To get to Pumpkin Cave, we took a canoe from the beach. The guide explained how to operate the canoe, and it turned out to be surprisingly easy. My daughter rode with both parents, while my son went with the guide.

When we arrived at the entrance of Pumpkin, we swam inside. Once we stepped in, we were amazed by the untouched world of the cave, which felt like a different world!

Inside the cave, it was natural and rugged, making it challenging to enter and climb, but with the support of Taro and Kazuchan, both guides, my timid first-grade daughter and my heavier mother managed to get through!

On the way back, Kazuchan drove us to our hotel (an additional 1,000 yen). During the ride, he shared many recommendations for spots to visit, making the return trip really enjoyable. I'm already planning to go to one of those spots today!

Everyone we met during the tour was warm and friendly, making it a fulfilling day even with small children.

We are very grateful to our cheerful guides, Taro and Kazuchan, for making it such a fun day.

I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

小1女子、小4男子と、父、母の四人で参加しました。

思っていた以上にたくさん泳ぎ、体を動かすハードな内容でしたが、最高に楽しいツアーでした◎

午後13時、新城海岸にてシュノーケルからスタート。
とにかく海がキレイで感動しましたが、さらにたくさんのお魚さん、そして大小の海亀さんにも会えました！

海亀さんは、全く人を怖がるそぶりもなく、1mくらいの至近距離まで近づいてきてくれて、こちらが戸惑うほど。写真もガイドの太朗さんが海深くまで潜って、家族と海亀さんの集合写真をばっちり撮ってくれました！

娘がまだあまり泳げず、足を引っ張る場面がありましたが、ガイドの太朗さんが優しくフォローしてくれたため、娘も終始笑顔で楽しんでいました。
また、息子も常に前のめりで参加してましたが、楽しく相手をしていただきつつ、危ない場面では上手に注意もしていただき大変助かりました。

続いて、パンプキン鍾乳洞に向かいます。
我が家は集合場所までタクシーで来ていたので、パンプキンの集合場所へ、ガイドさんの車で送っていただきました。(別途1000円です)

パンプキン鍾乳洞までは、浜からカヌーに乗ります。
カヌーは、やり方をレクチャーいただき意外と簡単に操縦ができました。
娘は、父、母と3人で乗りました。
息子は、ガイドさんと一緒に乗せていただきました。

パンプキンの入り口につくと泳いで中に入りました。
中に一歩入ると、別世界で見たこともない手付かずの鍾乳洞の世界が広がっており、感動！

鍾乳洞の中は自然のままなので、入るのに苦労、登るのに苦労、とハードなポイントが満載でしたが、怖がりな小1娘、お尻が重い母も、太朗さん、そしてかずちゃんの二人のガイドさんに、フォローいただきなんとかクリアできました！

帰りは、ホテルまでガイドのかずちゃんに送っていただきました。(別途1000円)
帰りながら、おすすめのスポットをたくさんたくさん教えていただいて、本当に楽しい帰り道になりました。
早速、今日行ってきます！！

一緒に参加した方々もみなさん温かく、ハードながら小さな子連れでも大満喫の1日となりました。

爽やかすぎるガイドの太朗さんかずちゃんのお二人には、大変お世話になり、楽しい1日となりました。

皆さんにぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！

〈SUP〉
In the calm sea without waves, enjoying the wind and forgetting about work was a luxurious moment... I signed up with that feeling, but the sensation of paddling and moving forward was refreshing, and I was desperately trying to maintain my balance while paddling. The instructor taught me patiently, so even someone like me, who is not very athletic, was able to stand on the board and enjoy it. I highly recommend it even for those who are not good at sports.

〈Snorkeling〉
I was able to swim with sea turtles, and both my wife and child were very moved. The sight of the blue damselfish sparkling in the sunlight was so beautiful that I could watch it forever. When my wife got seasick while snorkeling, the instructor wisely decided to return to shore early, which was a great help.

〈Pumpkin Cave〉
It was a grand adventure.
We paddled a canoe in the sea, entering a cave from the deep water where we couldn't touch the bottom and explored the cave. At the end, there was something from the pumpkin... This is something to enjoy after participating.
Wearing a life jacket means there's no worry about drowning, but it was still thrilling. My child’s eyes sparkled at the sights they had never seen before.

All the instructors were cheerful and attentive. The photos they took were sent to my smartphone on the same day. So quick!
I was truly amazed by how incredible these people are. Thanks to them, I experienced the best day ever. I am really grateful.

〈SUP〉
波のない静かな海で風を浴びながら仕事のことを忘れてボーっとする贅沢なひと時…そんな気持で申し込んだのですが、パドルを漕いで前に進む感覚が新鮮で必死にバランスを取りつつパドルを漕いでました。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えて下さったので運動神経が鈍い私でもボードの上に立って楽しむことが出来ました。運動が苦手な方でもぜひ。

〈シュノーケリング〉
海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができ、妻も子供もとても感動してました。ルリスズメダイが太陽の光でキラキラと輝く姿はとても美しくずっと見ていられます。
妻がシュノーケリングで波に酔ってしまった際、早目に岸に帰るようインストラクターが判断して下さりとても助かりました。

〈パンプキン鍾乳洞〉
大冒険です。
海でカヌー漕いで足のつかない深さの海から鍾乳洞に侵入し鍾乳洞を探検。最後にはパンプキンからの…。これは参加してからのお楽しみ。
ライフジャケットを着用するので溺れる心配はありませんがそれでもドキドキしました。
見たこともない景色に子供が目を輝かせてました。

インストラクターは皆さん明るくて丁寧。撮影して頂いた写真は当日にスマホに送信して頂けました。仕事早っ！
本当にスゴイ人たちだなぁと驚きました。お陰様で最高の1日を体験できました。本当に感謝しております。

For our honeymoon memories, we had the chance to take a photo with the Milky Way, which I had always wanted to do! The Milky Way was beautifully visible to the naked eye, and it looked even more stunning in the photo, making it the best memory ever.

新婚旅行の思い出に、ずっと撮ってみたかった天の川との写真を撮ってもらいました！肉眼でも天の川が綺麗に見えて、写真になるとより美しく写り、最高の思い出になりました。

The day of the sea turtle snorkeling and Pumpkin Cave tour unfortunately started with quite a bit of rain. I wasn't very excited as I headed to the meeting place, but the sea was clear, and I was able to see sea turtles! Our guide worked hard to take photos for us, so I received some precious pictures that I couldn't have taken myself!

Also, the Pumpkin Cave was an unexpected activity, but it turned out to be a valuable experience. Despite the bad weather, it was a fun and memorable tour! Our guide, Yuto, was very kind and helped us get through the unexpected Pumpkin Cave tour successfully. I would love to visit Miyako Island again!

ウミガメシュノーケリングと、パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーの日は、あいにく朝から結構な雨…。あまりテンションも上がらず集合場所に行ったのですが、海は濁ることもなく、ウミガメも見ることができました！ガイドさんが頑張って写真を撮ってくれたので、自分では撮れない貴重な写真をいただけました！
また、パンプキン鍾乳洞は、まさかのアクティビティでしたが！、こちらも貴重な経験ができ、天気が悪かった分、楽しさと思い出になるツアーでした！
ガイドのゆうとさんが、親切に対応してくれたので、まさかのパンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーも、無事乗り切れました！宮古島、また訪れたいです！

I was recommended by a friend that if you're going to Miyako Island, you absolutely have to see this, so I booked the tour this time.

Since we go to the entrance of the cave by canoe, I recommend saving your energy for the return trip (laughs).

The tour guide, Kei, was very thorough in his explanations and took a lot of photos, making it a wonderful memory. I think it would be even better if you have an underwater camera.

This is an activity I would definitely recommend to anyone going to Miyako Island!

宮古島に行くなら絶対に見に行った方が良いと友人に勧められて、今回ツアーを予約しました。

カヌーで鍾乳洞入口まで行くので、帰りの体力を温存しておく事を推奨します(笑)

ツアーガイドのけいさんが、とても丁寧に説明してくれたり写真をたくさん撮ってくれたので素敵な思い出になりました。
水中で使えるカメラもあれば、尚良いと思います。

宮古島に行く方には、私もぜひオススメしたいアクティビティです！

In the morning, we went snorkeling with sea turtles! They carefully explained how to use the equipment like goggles and fins, and once the snorkeling began, they took us to various stunning spots where we could see Nemo and beautiful coral, capturing great photos along the way! We were even lucky enough to meet a sea turtle, which was said to be a rare sight!

After a break, we gathered at a different beach in the afternoon for a SUP experience! It turned out to be an amazing day filled with fun in the beautiful sea! We took lots of great photos and made wonderful memories! Thank you so much!!

まず午前中はウミガメシュノーケルに行きました！
ゴーグルやフィンなど道具の使い方を丁寧に説明してくれて、シュノーケルが始まってからはニモが見える所やサンゴが綺麗な所など色々な絶景ポイントで写真を撮ってくれました！そして見れたらラッキーぐらいだと言われていたウミガメにも会うことができて最高でした！
一旦解散し午後からは違うビーチで集合しSUP体験をしました！綺麗な海でたくさん遊べて最高な1日になりました！良い写真もいっぱい撮ってくれて良い思い出ができました！ありがとうございました！！

We participated as a family of five!! I was so moved to be able to take such wonderful photos... It has become our favorite family photo. The photographer was also very kind and made the shoot a peaceful experience. Thank you very much. When we come back to Miyako Island, I would definitely like to request your services again. Thank you!!

家族5人で参加させて頂きました！！
こんなに素敵な写真を撮って頂けるとは…
感動しました。1番のお気に入りの家族写真になりました。
カメラマンさんも、とっても親切で心和やかに撮影して頂きました。ありがとうございます。
また宮古島に遊びに来た際には、是非お願いしたいと思います。　ありがとうございました！！

Starting in the morning was great, and swimming in the cold water felt refreshing. The snorkeling was wonderful as the sea was very clear with little wave action, allowing us to see turtles and fish up close, and we were able to take some lovely photos! Paddleboarding was enjoyable as I could feel the wind while paddling. It was a tour that even beginners could enjoy, so I would love to try it again when I visit Miyako Island! The tour guide was also very kind, teaching us how to use the equipment and sharing hidden spots, and they were a bright and entertaining person.

午前中からのスタートだったので、冷たい水の中で泳ぐことができ気持ちが良いです。シュノーケリングは海がとても透き通っていて波も少なかったので、亀や魚を間近でみることができ、素敵な写真も撮っていただけました♪サップは風を感じながら気持ちが良く漕げました。初心者でも楽しめるツアーだったのでまた宮古島に来た際はもう一度やってみたいと思います！ツアーガイドさんも丁寧に用具の使い方や穴場スポット等を教えてくれ、明るく面白い方でした（＾ν＾）

I participated with my family of four, including my children (7 and 5 years old). The timing was set a bit earlier, and they talked about stars, which the kids enjoyed listening to. The finished photos were also very beautiful, and I am extremely satisfied! I would like to use this service again next time!

家族4人子ども(7歳、5歳)を連れて参加しました。
時間帯は少し早め設定していただいており星の話などしてくれて子ども達は喜んで聞いていました。
出来上がった写真もとても素敵で大満足です！
次回もまた利用させていただきたいと思います！！

The sea was beautiful, and I was glad to see sea turtles! The cave we paddled to by canoe was mystical, and it was a precious experience! Thank you!

海もきれいし、ウミガメも見られてよかったー！
カヌーを漕いで行った鍾乳洞は神秘的で貴重な体験ができました！
ありがとうございました！

It was truly a dream-like experience to see so many sea turtles and be able to swim with them. Our guide, Wataru, was very kind. My elementary school child was worried since it was their first time snorkeling, but he taught us patiently and kept checking on us once we were in the water, allowing our whole family to enjoy it with peace of mind. Thanks to him, my child quickly got used to snorkeling and was enthusiastically chasing after the sea turtles. Participating in this tour on the first day of our trip and learning how to snorkel was great, as it allowed us to enjoy snorkeling on our own afterward. We also took many photos of our family swimming together with the sea turtles, for which we are very grateful. It truly became the best summer vacation memory! I highly recommend it!

ウミガメをたくさん見られて、一緒に泳ぐことができて、本当に夢のような体験でした。
ガイドのわたるさんはとても親切で、小学生の子どもはシュノーケリングが初めてで心配でしたが、丁寧に教えてくださり、また、海に入ってからもこまめに様子を見てくれていて、家族みんなで安心して楽しむことができました。
おかげで、子供もすぐにシュノーケリングに慣れて、夢中でウミガメを追いかけて泳いでいました。
旅行の初日でこのツアーに参加してシュノーケリングを教えてもらえたので、その後も自分達でシュノーケリングが楽しめてよかったです。
ウミガメと家族三人で一緒に泳いでいる写真もたくさん撮って頂き、感謝感激です。
本当に最高の夏休みの思い出になりました！オススメです！

The guide Mana was really friendly and she took really good photos for us. We found so many sea turtles that day. It was really amazing. I highly recommend it even if you are a foreigner.

The guide マナさん is really friendly and she took really good photos for us. We found so many sea turtles in that day. It was really amazing. Super recommend to even you are a foreigner.

I was nervously participating, wondering if the two older ladies would drift away into the open sea in the canoe. The pumpkin was wonderful. Mr. Nakamura was also lovely. Thank you very much. Thank you, Pumpkin God, for having us.

オバサン2人、カヌーで遠洋に行ってしまわないか、ドキドキしながら参加。パンプキン、すばらしかったです。中村さんも、すてきでした。ありがとうございました。パンプキン神様、おじゃましました。

I participated with a friend. The instructor provided a thorough explanation, and we had a lot of fun on the tour. They also took many photos during the snorkeling, which we received afterward, so that was great. It was my first time in Miyako Island, but I learned a lot about the island, and during the morning snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle, which was satisfying! There were also several participants who joined alone, so I think it's fine to participate solo as well.

2人で参加しました。インストラクターの方にご丁寧にご説明いただき、とても楽しくツアーに参加できました。
またシュノーケリング中にお写真もたくさん撮っていただきそのあといただけたので、とても良かったです。宮古島は初めてでしたが、島のことも色々と教えていただき、午前中のシュノーケリングでは、ウミガメもみることができ満足です！
1名で参加させれている方も複数おり、一名で参加されても良いかと思います。

It was my first time in Miyako Island! I had a great experience with PiPi when I visited Ishigaki Island before, so I used their services again!

We did canoeing and snorkeling, and the explanations were thorough from start to finish. I really appreciated how they engaged with each customer individually! During canoeing, the instructions were clear, and they made sure to check in with everyone while we were out on the water, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves!

In snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle, which made me very satisfied! They took photos for us multiple times, creating wonderful memories! I want to visit Miyako Island again and would love to use their services once more!

初めてのの宮古島でした！以前石垣島に行った時に、こちらのPiPiさんにお世話になりとてもよかったのでまた利用しました！
カヌーとシュノーケリングでしたが、最初から最後まで丁寧な説明で、一人一人のお客さんと向き合っている感じがとてもよかったです！
カヌーをしましたが、説明もわかりやすく、乗っている間もそれぞれ回って丁寧に声掛けをしていて、楽しむことができました！シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメをみることができて大満足でした！写真を何度も撮っていただき、素敵な思い出になりました！
また宮古島に行きたいですし、またこちらを利用したいです！

The staff member was very friendly, and during the移動中, he talked about dialects and plants, which made it interesting and kept us entertained! The Pumpkin Cave felt like an adventure and was truly fun; we were able to take a lot of photos✨ It was a place I really wanted to visit, so it became a wonderful memory.
Although we encountered turtles while snorkeling, it was quite challenging to take photos, but the staff member persevered until the very last moment, and we were finally able to get some pictures! I was about to give up on getting any, so I was really happy at that moment❣️
Thank you very much.

担当のお兄さんのノリもよく、移動中も方言や植物などの話もしてくれて飽きず面白かったです！パンプキン鍾乳洞は探検のようで本当に楽しく、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました✨行きたかった場所だったので本当に良い思い出になりました。
シュノーケリングは亀とは出会えたものの、写真は撮るのはかなり厳しそうな状況でしたが、お兄さんがかなりお時間ギリギリまで粘ってくれて最後には写真が撮れました！撮れないかなと諦めかけてたところだったので、あの時は本当に嬉しかったです❣️
ありがとうございました。

Thank you for taking such wonderful photos! The starry sky was so beautiful, and I definitely recommend going. I'm glad I went to capture these lovely memories of Miyako Island!

すごく素敵な写真を撮って頂きありがとうございます☆星空が綺麗すぎて是非行ってほしいです。すてきな宮古島の思い出になり撮りに行ってよかったです！

I tried snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time! The guide was very attentive, and I was able to enjoy my time comfortably.

In snorkeling, I was able to see many fish the moment I entered the water, and I was even lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which became a truly wonderful memory.

Thanks to the detailed instructions on how to paddle and ride from scratch during SUP, I was able to enjoy it right away, and time flew by so quickly.

Thanks to everyone, I have fallen in love with Miyako Island and would like to come back again.

初めてシュノーケルとSUPをしました！
ガイドさんが非常に丁寧で気持ちよく過ごせました。
シュノーケルでは、入った瞬間からたくさんの魚たちを見ることが出来て、更に幸運にもウミガメに出会うことができて、本当にいい思い出になりました。
SUPではイチから丁寧に漕ぎ方、乗り方を教えてもらったおかげですぐに楽しめるようになり、本当にあっという間に時間が過ぎてしました。
皆様のおかげで宮古島が大好きになり、また来たいと思います。

In the morning, I went snorkeling at Shigira Beach to look for sea turtles! Right from the shallow waters, there were so many beautiful fish swimming around, and it was truly breathtaking! As I swam a little further, the sea turtle I had been hoping to see swam towards me, and I was able to witness the moment it surfaced for air! This seems to be a rare experience, and I’m really glad I participated to see such a precious moment! I was very satisfied with all the photos taken. In the afternoon, I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time, and since they taught me how to paddle carefully, I was able to enjoy it while participating!

午前にシギラビーチでシュノーケル、ウミガメを探しに海に出ました！浅瀬すぐから魚たちがたくさん泳いでいてとっっっても綺麗で感動しました！少し泳いでいくと会いたかった海ガメがこちらに泳いで来てくれて、息継ぎのために海面から顔を出す瞬間まで見ることが出来ました！これはレアな体験のようですが、そんな貴重な瞬間を見ることができて参加して本当に良かったです！たくさんの写真を撮ってもらえて大満足です。午後からは初めてSUPをしましたが、丁寧に漕ぎ方を教えて頂けたので、楽しみながら参加することができました！

Two years ago, my main purpose for visiting Miyako Island was to take photos of the starry sky! However, despite trying for two days, the weather was bad and I couldn't take any pictures... The person in charge was very kind and even came to greet me. When I visit again, I plan to have that same person take my photos for a two-year revenge... Unfortunately, the person in charge two years later was away on a business trip, but another staff member was also very kind and took truly amazing photos for me. It was really an excellent starry sky photo tour!!! Thank you very much!!!

２年前に宮古島に訪れた際１番の目的が星空フォトでした！
しかし、二日間粘りましたが、天気が悪く撮ることができませんでした…
ご担当された方が親切に対応してくれて、わざわざ挨拶にも来てくれました。
また訪れるときは、その担当の方に撮ってもらおうと思い、２年後のリベンジ…
あいにく２年後の担当の方は、ご出張でご不在でしたが、別の担当の方も親切に対応していただき本当に最高な写真を撮っていただきました。
本当におすすめな星空フォトツアーでした！！！
ありがとうございました！！！

I participated with my fourth-grade child. We walked along a narrow path in the forest, relying on our lights. Just that alone made it feel like an adventure, and my child seemed to really enjoy it. Along the way, we all searched for living creatures. The guide passionately shared detailed information about the creatures we found. The guide's love for wildlife really came through, and we had a wonderful time.

Then, we turned off our lights and saw the starry sky in complete darkness. I was moved to realize just how many stars there are. We also got to see the coconut crab we were hoping to find. I'm really glad we participated. Thank you very much!

小学4年の子供と参加させて頂きました。
森のなかの細道をライトを頼りに歩きます。それだけでも探検気分でこどもは楽しそうでした。
その道すがら、みんなで生きものを探します。見つけた生きものについて、ガイドさんが詳細に、そして熱く語ってくれます。ガイドさんの生きもの愛がとても伝わってきて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
そして、ライトを消して、真っ暗闇の中見る
満天の星空。星ってこんなにあるんだな、と改めて認識でき、感動しました。
そして、お目当てのヤシガニともバッチリ会えました。参加してよかったです。
ありがとうございました！！

I participated with my child who is in the second year of middle school. We walked along a narrow path in the forest, relying on our lights. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about the creatures we encountered with precision and passion, which was fascinating and made the experience very enjoyable. Additionally, the starry sky we saw after walking quite a distance was breathtaking. I had never seen the Milky Way so clearly before, so it was truly wonderful! Thank you very much!!

中学2年の子供と参加させて頂きました。
森のなかの細道をライトを頼りに歩きます。
ガイドさんがかなりの博識で、見つけた生きものについて、どんな質問にも的確に、かつ熱く語ってくれるのですが、それが面白く、とても楽しめます。
また、歩いて行った先で（結構歩いたと思います）見る満天の星空は、感動できです。
天の川があんな風にはっきり見たことがなかったので、本当によかったです！
ありがとうございました！！

We participated as a family of four, including a second-year middle school student and a fourth-year elementary school student. In the morning, we went to the Pumpkin Cave, and in the afternoon, we snorkeled at Alagusuk Beach. The Pumpkin Cave was truly mystical and worth visiting. Additionally, during the afternoon snorkeling, we were able to see sea turtles! We encountered them twice, which was surprising. The guide was also very courteous throughout, making it a fun experience.

中学2年と小学4年の子供を含む家族四人で参加させて頂きました。
午前中にパンプキン鍾乳洞に行き、午後はアラグスク海岸でシュノーケルというスケジュールでした。
パンプキン鍾乳洞は、本当に神秘的で、行く価値ありです。
また、午後のシュノーケルでも、ウミガメにちゃんと会えました！二回も遭遇できて、びっくりしました。
ガイドさんも終始丁寧に案内してくれて、楽しかったです。

I participated with six colleagues.

Wataru, our guide, kindly taught us everything from how to enter the sea after a long time to how to put on fins. During the tour, he also helped a colleague whose underwater mask didn't fit quite right, even though we were still on the surface. Thanks to him, all participants were able to swim with sea turtles for the first time, and we got some amazing photos. It was truly moving! Furthermore, Wataru noticed that a colleague was on the verge of seasickness and helped transport them back to shore. Thank you so much!

The weather was perfect, and swimming with the sea turtles was incredible! Wataru was also fantastic!

I am grateful.

同僚6人と参加させていただきました。

担当のワタルさんから久しぶりの海への入り方からフィンのつけ方まで丁寧に教えていただきました。
またツアー途中同僚の水中マスクが少し合わないことに対しても水上にもかかわらず対応していただきました。
おかげさまで参加者全員初ウミガメと泳ぐことができ最高の写真も撮っていただきました。感動です！
さらに波酔い寸前の同僚にも担当のワタルさんが気づいて沖まで同僚を搬送していただきました！ありがとうございました！

天気も最高で初ウミガメも最高でした！
そして担当のワタルさんも最高でした！

感謝

Miyako Island has unpredictable weather that often doesn't match the forecast, but we were lucky and it was sunny! At the meeting time, there was heavy rain, and we waited in the car because we hadn't taken photos yet. We waited for just under an hour, but afterwards, we were able to take wonderful pictures. Since these are photos I couldn't have taken myself, I'm glad I asked for them. I definitely want to request this again when I visit Miyako Island next time.

宮古島は天気予報があてにならないくらい天気が変わりやすいですが、運良く晴れました！
集合時間には強い雨が振り、前の方がまだ撮れてないからと車で待っていました。一時間弱待ちましたが、その後素敵な写真を撮って頂けました。自分では撮れない写真なので、頼んで良かったです。また宮古島に行く際は必ずお願いしたいと思いました。

I participated with a friend. The instructors for the morning sea turtle snorkeling were two women, Nakamura-san and Yuki-san, who were very kind and provided detailed guidance. My friend, who cannot swim, required quite a bit of assistance, but they remained cheerful and even took pictures with the sea turtles until the end (≧∇≦).

The instructor for the afternoon SUP was a man named Jun-san. Despite the heat, he watched over everyone and taught us how to paddle on the SUP! Thanks to him, I was able to stand up by the end (^ -^)v Of course, he took plenty of pictures too ♪

This tour made me love Miyako even more, so I look forward to joining again next time!

友人と2人で参加していました。
午前中のウミガメシュノーケリングの担当者は中村さんとゆきさんの女性のお二人で、とても親切で丁寧に案内いただきました。特に友人は水泳できないため、結構面倒いただいたと思いますが、ずっと明るく最後までウミガメとの写真も撮ってくれました（≧∇≦）
午後のSUPの担当者はじゅんさんという男性の方です。暑い中みんなを見守りながら、SUPの乗り方も教えていただきました!おかげさまで、最後は立つことができました(^-^)vもちろん写真もいっぱい撮ってくれました♪
このツアーをきっかけに、宮古のことますます好きになりましたので、また今度もよろしくお願いします‼️

We participated as a couple because we wanted to see coconut crabs, and we were able to see various other unusual creatures as well. We were able to see several coconut crabs, and I was thrilled when I found one myself. The weather was nice, so the starry sky was also very beautiful. The guide's explanations about the creatures and the stars were detailed and easy to understand. They also included information about Miyako Island, which was helpful for our trip. Walking through the darkness was very exciting and fun. However, even at night in summer, it is still quite hot. It is essential to avoid skin exposure for insect repellent, but due to COVID-19, wearing a mask made it quite tough. I recommend wearing lightweight clothing and using insect repellent.

ヤシガニを見てみたくて夫婦で参加しましたが、他にも変わった生き物をいろいろ見られました。ヤシガニも数匹見ることができ、自分でも一匹見つけられたときは感動しました。お天気がよかったので、星空もとてもきれいでした。ガイドさんの説明は、生き物も星も詳しくてわかりやすかったです。宮古島情報も盛り込んでくださり、旅の参考になりました。暗闇の中を進んでいくのはとてもワクワク感があり、楽しかったです。ただ、夏は夜とはいえとにかく暑いです。虫除けのため肌の露出を避けることは必須ですが、コロナ禍ではマスクの着用もあるため、かなりしんどかったです。できるだけ薄手のものを着用し、虫除け剤を使用することをお勧めします。
