All Reviews for Japan Hidden Gems: Secret Islands

In the morning, I participated in snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I joined a SUP session. The weather was nice, and it seemed like the sea was very clear, which made for wonderful memories.

Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, there were plenty of clownfish, and I was able to take photos with them.

Since I was a beginner at SUP, I was a bit anxious about whether I could do it well, but I was able to progress slowly and felt reassured while trying. I was happy to be able to paddle while standing.

Hajime and Miyu were in charge of our activities. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!

午前中にシュノーケリング、午後にSUPに参加しました。天気が良く、海の透明度も高い日だったようで、とても良い思い出ができました^ ^
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメに会うことはできませんでしたが、カクレクマノミが沢山いて一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
SUPは、初心者だったので上手くできるか不安もありましたが、ゆっくり進めていただけて安心して挑戦できました。立って漕ぐことが出来て嬉しかったです。
はじめさんとみゆさんに担当していただきました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

The weather was nice, and I was able to see many turtles. The guide was also very thorough in their explanations, which was great. It seems possible to see turtles on your own in this sea, but since you have to swim quite far, having a guide makes it safer and more reassuring.

天気も良く、カメもたくさん見れました。
ガイドの方も説明も丁寧で良かったです。
この海では自力でもカメを見に行けそうですが、遠くまで泳いでいくのでガイドがいたほうが安心安全に終えることができます。

I was able to see more than four sea turtles! I also saw clownfish. On the way there, I swam over the sand, and on the way back, I swam over the coral, spending about an hour and a half in the sea. The guide was kind and it was a lot of fun!

ウミガメ4匹以上見れました！ クマノミも見ました。
行きは砂の上を、帰りは珊瑚の上を泳いで帰り、約1時間半海に居ました。
ガイドさんも親切で楽しかったです！

The location was great, and they captured the breathtaking moment of the moon and stars as the moon set! The staff was friendly and gave us tips on poses and photography, making the shoot enjoyable! A shooting star was also captured, making it the best memory of the trip! ♪

ロケーションもよくて、月が沈む瞬間の月と星の絶景の瞬間を写真に納めてくれました！
お兄さんも気さくで、ポーズや写真のアドバイスもしてくれ楽しく撮影してくれました！
流れ星も写っていて、旅行で一番の思い出です♪

We participated as a family of three. It was our first time in Miyako Island, and this sea turtle snorkeling experience became our best memory. The responses to our questions before the tour were very thorough, which made us feel at ease to join. The guide was also very kind and cheerful, and we were able to see 4 to 5 sea turtles! The photos sent to us after the tour were incredibly beautiful, including close-up shots of the sea turtles and pictures of Nemo, in addition to our family photos. I believe Miyako Island is a place worth visiting only if you go into the sea. I definitely want to participate in this tour again the next time I visit! 😊

家族3人で参加しました。宮古島は初めてだったのですがこのウミガメシュノーケリングが1番の思い出になりましたツアー前の質問にも丁寧にご回答いただき安心して参加することが出来ました。
またガイドの方もとても親切で明るく、ウミガメも4〜5匹見ることが出来ました！
ツアー後に送って下さった写真もすごく綺麗で、家族写真以外にもウミガメの至近距離写真やニモの写真などもありました。
宮古島は海に入ってこそ行く価値のある場所だと思います。また次に訪れる時も必ずこちらのツアーに参加したいと思います(^^)

It was so much fun! The sea turtle was so focused on its meal that it didn't pay us any mind. The sea turtle was, of course, adorable, but I also enjoyed the coral and Nemo. I think it's a safe option for beginners and small children since you don't have to go too far out with the beach entry. I thought the suggestion to change days based on the tide conditions was wonderful. Thank you, guide! (I had someone pulling my float the whole time.)

楽しかったあー。
海亀さんは、食事に夢中で、私たちには関知せずでしたが。海亀さんは、もちろん可愛いかったけれど、珊瑚も、ニモも、楽しめました。ビーチエントリーで、あまり沖まで行かないなど、初めての方、小さいお子様も、安心できると思います。潮の状態の良い日に変更提案等、対応も、素敵と、思いました。
ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。(ずっと浮輪を引っ張ってもらったのです)

I am very satisfied with how beautifully it was done. It was so good that I would like to use it again when I go back. Thank you very much.

とても綺麗にとっていただき大満足です。また行った時には利用したいと思える程良かったです。ありがとございました。

The weather was perfect, and the views were amazing, making this my best memory in Miyako Island! The instructor was very kind, and I felt safe during the experience! I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! The clownfish, in particular, was cute and left a strong impression on me. The scenery while paddleboarding was wonderful, and falling into the sea from the paddleboard felt refreshing because the water was cool. Everything was just fantastic! I want to experience it again when I come back to Miyako Island! ☺️☺️☺️

最高の天気、最高の景色で宮古島に来て1番の思い出になりました！
インストラクターさんもとっても優しく、安心して体験が出来ました！シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました！特にクマノミは可愛くて印象に残っています。サップでは素敵な景色が見ることができ、またサップから海に落ちるのは海が冷たくて気持ちよかったです。とにかく全てが最高でした！
また宮古島に来たら体験したいです☺️☺️☺️

It was my son's first snorkeling tour! I was also looking forward to seeing a sea turtle for the first time, but I didn't expect to see it up close, so I was very excited. It was super cute. My son also seemed satisfied, saying he had fun seeing lots of fish. The guide was very attentive and made us feel at ease during the tour!

息子にとっては初めてのシュノーケリングツアー！
わたしもウミガメは初めてでとても楽しみにしていましたが、近距離で見れるとは思ってなかったので大興奮。めっちゃ可愛かったです。息子もたくさん魚見れて楽しかったと満足した様子。担当のお兄さんも丁寧に案内してくれて安心し参加できました！

I had a great experience taking photos with my boyfriend against the starry sky. The stars turned out beautifully in the pictures! The person who took the photos was also knowledgeable about delicious restaurants and tourist spots in Miyako Island, and I was happy to learn a lot from them. The recommended izakaya was very tasty! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!!

星空を背景に彼氏との写真を撮っていただきました。星空がすごく綺麗に撮れていて良い体験でした！！また撮影してくれた方は、宮古島の美味しいお店や観光スポットに詳しく、色々と教えてくれたのも嬉しかったです。おすすめの居酒屋とても美味しかったです！！良い想い出を、ありがとうございました！！！

There were a lot of sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos. I also got to meet clownfish, and they took some stunning pictures. Kometchi was easy to talk to, just as the reviews said. I'm really glad I chose this place. Miyako Island is the best!! I will participate again when I come back to Miyako Island, so thank you in advance! ★

ウミガメがいっぱいいて
写真もたくさんいただけて
クマノミにも会えて
迫力ある写真を撮ってくれます。
コメッチさんも話しやすく口コミ通りです。
本当にこちらにしてよかったです。
宮古島最高！！
次回宮古島に来たらまた参加しますので
よろしくお願いします★

I was moved to see sea turtles up close, and the photos really captured the clarity of the water and the turtles' expressions. It had been quite a while since I last went snorkeling, but the guide was kind and explained the techniques and precautions clearly, which made me feel at ease. This became one of my best memories in Miyako Island.

近くでウミガメに会えて感動しましたし、写真でも海の透明度とウミガメの表情がよくわかりました。
かなり久々のシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんは親切で、やり方や注意点をわかりやすく説明してくれて安心できました。宮古島での最高の思い出の1つとなりました。

We participated as a couple! The explanations were easy to understand, and we got to see several sea turtles and even Nemo! The ocean and coral were beautiful, and we were truly moved. We enjoyed it for longer than we expected and definitely want to participate again!!! It was a wonderful honeymoon! Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加させてもらいました！
説明も分かりやすくてウミガメも
何匹か会えてニモも見れました！
海も珊瑚も綺麗で感動しました
思ったより長い時間楽しめて絶対に
また参加したいです！！！
いい新婚旅行になりました！
ありがとうございました。

I applied to capture memorable photos on my anniversary with my partner. The service satisfaction is at its maximum! The stars were truly beautiful, and it was the best night sky of my life.

The shooting spot is very close to the parking lot; it's dark, but they illuminate the area, allowing for safe movement. Once you arrive at the shooting spot, you receive an explanation of the precautions for the shoot, and it starts right away. The person in charge was easy to talk to and left a very good impression.

The shooting conditions can be affected by the weather and other environmental factors, but they inform you about such situations in advance via email, which is reassuring. I highly recommend giving it a try!

恋人との記念日に思い出の写真を残そうと考え応募しました。サービス満足度はマックスです！
星が本当に綺麗で、人生で一番の夜空でした。
撮影スポットは駐車場からすぐそばのところで、暗いですがライトで照らしていただき安全に移動できます。撮影スポットに到着したら撮影時の注意点の説明を受け、すぐに開始します。担当していただいた方は話しやすい人で印象がとても良かったです。
天候などの環境に撮影状況は左右されますが、そんなときの対応も事前にメールで知らされているので、安心です。ぜひ一度応募してみてください！！

The sky was filled with stars as if it were a planetarium, and the weather was so nice that we could even see the Milky Way. The photographer was kind and played music while shooting, which made it a lot of fun!

一面がプラネタリウムかのように星が見え天気もよかったので天の川まで見えました。カメラマンさんも優しく音楽をかけながらの撮影でとても楽しかったです！

I encountered four sea turtles and enjoyed the breathtaking views in the clear, beautiful ocean. The support from the instructor was excellent, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and those who are not very good at swimming. They also shared interesting facts about sea turtles and coral, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!

4匹のウミガメに出会え、透明度の高いキレイな海での絶景を楽しみました。インストラクターのお兄さんのサポートも手厚く、初めての方・泳ぎがあまり得意ではない方でも安心して、楽しむことができると思います。ウミガメやサンゴに関する豆知識も教えてくれて、とても素晴らしい体験でした。おすすめです！

We gathered on-site and took several photos in recommended poses and our favorite poses. The staff's hospitality and the atmosphere they created were also great.

現地に集合しておすすめのポーズ、好きなポーズで数枚写真撮影しました。
スタッフの方の接遇や雰囲気づくりも良かったです。

This was the best experience of my trip!!

We participated in a luxurious SUP and snorkeling tour with five people because we wanted to fully enjoy marine activities in Miyako Island.

I hadn't been in the ocean for several years and was anxious about marine activities, but the staff were very supportive, and everyone ended up loving the sea.

<SUP>
We received thorough instructions in the beautiful sea, and everyone was able to enjoy it without falling in. We also took a lot of stunning photos.

<Snorkeling>
Some members had difficulty breathing through their mouths, but with appropriate breaks and careful instructions, we were able to enjoy it. The staff worked hard to find sea turtles, and we were able to encounter them that day!!

<Overall>
The staff treated us kindly with just the right level of warmth, making it a very good tour. When I asked for recommendations for lunch, they told us about a really delicious place. I would like to participate in another tour next time.

今回の旅で一番最高な経験でした！！

宮古島でマリンアクティビティを思いっきり楽しみたいということで、豪華なSUP+シュノーケリングツアーに5名で参加しました。

数年海に入っておらず、マリンアクティビティが不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんの対応が手厚くみんな海が大好きになりました。

<SUP>
綺麗な海で丁寧にレクチャーいただき、みんな落ちることなく楽しめました。すごく映える写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。

<シュノーケリング>
口呼吸が苦手なメンバーもいたのですが、適度な休憩時間や丁寧なレクチャーで楽しめました。
スタッフさんが一生懸命ウミガメを探していただき、当日出会えることができました！！

<全体を通して>
スタッフさんが、適度な温度感で優しく接してくれて非常に良いツアーでした。おすすめのお昼ご飯を聞いたらすごく美味しいところを教えてくださいました。今度また別のツアーに参加したいと思います。

The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see turtles up close; it was truly amazing! It was my first time snorkeling, and I didn't know anything, but the explanations were very thorough, so I had a great time! They took many beautiful photos, which became wonderful memories. I also appreciated learning about the sea turtles and coral. Thank you! I would like to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island.

海も綺麗でカメも身近で見れて本当に最高でした！
初めてのシュノーケリングで何も分かりませんでしたが、丁寧に説明して頂けたので凄く楽しめました！写真も綺麗にたくさん撮って頂き良い思い出となりました。
また海でウミガメや珊瑚の事まで教えて頂き良かったです。ありがとうございます！
また宮古島に来た際はお願いしたいです。

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean and the first sea turtle I saw! A cool guy kindly taught me snorkeling from scratch, making it enjoyable even for beginners. He gave me poses for photos and recommended spots after the experience. He was very kind, and I definitely want to ask for his help again when I come back to Miyako Island!

海の綺麗さと、初めてのウミガメに感動しました！
かっこいいお兄さんが、一からシュノーケリングを優しく教えてくださり初心者でも楽しめました。
撮影のポーズを指示してくださったり、体験後におすすめのスポットを教えてくださったりと、とても親切な方で、また宮古島に来た時は是非お願いしたいなと思います♪

I felt that the service was a bit rough or careless, but the photos were taken very beautifully. Thank you.

ちょっと対応がラフというか、雑なところは感じましたが、写真はとても綺麗に撮っていただけました。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to see 7 sea turtles!
Since there were fewer participants on a weekday, I felt like I got a good deal!
I was also good at taking photos!
Thank you for the many great pictures!

They also taught us about marine life besides the sea turtles.

Valuables can be kept in the guide's car.
Shinjō Beach has changing rooms with showers.
I recommend going by car!

ウミガメ7匹見れました！
平日の参加で参加者が少なかったので得した気分でした！
写真も撮るのうまかったです！
いい写真たくさんありがとうございます！

ウミガメ以外にも海の生物について教えてくれました。

貴重品などはガイドさんの車で預かってもらう形です。
新城海岸はシャワー付きの更衣室あります。
車で行くのがおすすめです！

You don't need to bring anything in particular; you can participate wearing a swimsuit or a swimsuit with a T-shirt on top. The staff will kindly teach you how to use the fins and snorkel, so even beginners can join the sea turtle tour with peace of mind. On the day of the tour, we were able to see three sea turtles! They also provide a lot of data, so I highly recommend it!!!

特に持ち物は必要なく水着や水着の上にTシャツを着て参加できます
フィンやシュノーケルの使い方は丁寧にお兄さんが教えて下さるので、初心者の方でも安心してウミガメツアーに参加できます☺︎
当日は3匹のウミガメに会うことができました♡データもたくさんくれるのですごくオススメです！！！

I heard that the stars in Miyako Island are beautiful, so I was looking for a place that could take photos of the night sky and found this one! They were very kind to provide details during the preliminary reservation! When I arrived on the day, the night sky was unlike anything I had ever seen, and it was so beautiful!!! The person in charge came and took photos with the stars, and they also taught me about the stars and chatted with me in a friendly manner, which made me very happy! The data arrived two days later, and I really appreciated the quick response! The stars were captured beautifully, and I am very satisfied! I was so happy to see the Milky Way for the first time!!

宮古島の星が綺麗ときき、星空の写真を撮ってくれるところを探していてこちらをみつけました！
仮予約の時に詳細を教えてくれてとても親切でした！
当日現地に行くともう見たことがないくらいの星空で、とても綺麗でした！！！
そして担当の方が来てくれて、星空と一緒にお写真を撮って頂きました！
星のことも教えてくれて気さくにお話してくれてとても嬉しかったです！
データが２日後に届いてとても迅速な対応をありがとうございました！
めちゃくちゃ星が綺麗に映っていてとても満足です！天の川初めて見れて嬉しかったです！！

I was worried because it was cloudy, but the stars were beautifully visible. The photographer provided great background music and gave precise instructions, which made for a good shoot.

曇りだったので大丈夫かと心配でしたが、星が綺麗に見えてました。
撮影担当者もよいBGMを流しながら的確に指示してくれたのでいい撮影ができました。

It was amazing to see the sea turtles up close for a long time! The staff was kind, and it was fun to see the corals and fish as well. Thank you!

ウミガメを間近で長時間見れて最高でした！
お兄さんも優しくて、サンゴとお魚さんまで見れて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

The staff were very friendly and we had a great atmosphere for snorkeling as a group. Although the sea was a bit murky that day, we were able to see sea turtles, which made for a wonderful experience. I also appreciated how they took many creative photos for us. On our way back, they recommended some great spots and restaurants in Miyako Island, which was very helpful. ✨

スタッフの方も凄く気さくに話してくれて、グループで雰囲気良くシュノーケリングを体験出来ました。
その日は海が少し濁っていましたが、ウミガメにも会えて素敵な経験になりました
また、写真も沢山工夫して撮って下さるのも素敵だなと感じました。
帰り際には宮古島のおすすめなスポットやご飯屋さんなどを教えて下さりとても助かりました✨

I went on a commemorative trip with my friends.
On the first day, the weather was bad, so we postponed it to the next day, and the weather was nice then, with a beautiful Milky Way.
I quickly showed the photos to the kids who were curious about them, and I even learned some tips on how to take beautiful pictures of the starry sky with my own phone.
Thank you very much.

友達との記念旅行で撮影に行きました。
1日目は天候が悪く次の日にずらしてもらい次の日は天気も良く天の川が綺麗でした。
撮れた写真が気になる子供達にすぐ見せて頂いたり、自分の携帯で星空を綺麗に撮るコツまで教えて頂きました。
ありがとうございました。

I joined this tour, feeling excited by the beautiful sea and sky of Miyako Island.

During snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle as soon as I entered the water! It was shallow, so I couldn't take a photo with it, which was a bit disappointing, but I was able to see its cute face up close! The underwater world was like an aquarium, and I was completely captivated by the colorful little fish. My daughter, who isn't a strong swimmer, seemed to be able to observe the sea comfortably thanks to the lifeguard. The guide explained about the fish and took many photos for us, including commemorative shots.

Before I knew it, it was time to move to the SUP location. The board was more stable than I expected, and I was able to sit down easily. However, when I tried to stand, the board wobbled, and I ended up laughing as my legs shook and I fell into the water. But with the guide's advice, I was able to stand up. They also carefully taught us how to operate the board, and my daughter seemed to enjoy paddling.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and I recommend this tour for first-timers! Thank you for the fun memories! I would love to visit Miyako Island again!

宮古島の美しい海と空にテンションが上がりながら、こちらのツアーに参加しました。

シュノーケリングでは、海に入ってすぐにウミガメさんに遭遇！浅瀬だったので一緒に写真を撮る事が出来ずに残念でしたが、とても近くで可愛いお顔を見る事が出来ました❣️海の中はまるで水族館の様で、カラフルな小魚達にすっかり見惚れていました。泳ぎが得意ではない娘も、ライフガードのお陰で安心して海の中を観察する事ができた様です。ガイドさんはお魚の説明をしてくれたり記念撮影等たくさんの写真を撮って下さいました。
あっという間に時間になり、次はＳＵＰの場所に移動です。ボードは思っていた以上に安定感があり、サクッと座る事が出来ました。しかし、立つ時はボードがゆらゆらして足がプルプルするのに笑けてきて海に落ちてしまいましたが、ガイドさんのアドバイスで立つ事が出来ました。操作の仕方等も丁寧に教えて頂き、娘も楽しそうに漕いでいました。

全体的に満足の出来る内容で、初めての方におすすめのツアーです！
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！また宮古島に訪れたいと思います！

We had planned our first trip to Miyako Island as a family of three, but suddenly our daughter couldn't go, so it turned into a trip for just me and mom! Before we left, we were worried about the impact of Typhoon No. 9, but the weather was nice! We experienced snorkeling to see sea turtles! The water clarity on the day wasn't great, but I thought it was beautiful enough, so I was very satisfied!! I will definitely be a repeat visitor!

初の宮古島旅行を家族3人で予定してましたが、急遽娘が行けなくなり、ママと二人旅行！
出発前は台風9号の影響を心配してましたが、ナイスな天気でした！
ウミガメに会いにシュノーケルを体験！当日の海の透明度はイマイチのようでしたが、本人的には十分綺麗だったので大満足です！！
間違いなくリピーターになります！
