初めての奄美大島でマングローブを見てみたいと思い このツアーに申し込みました! ガイドさんの大ちゃんと近くの道の駅のような 施設で合流して今日の流れをご説明いただき 気温や服装のことも気にしていただけたので 快適にカヌーツアーを過ごせました! 2人で参加したので2人乗りのカヌーを選び いざ、川へと繰り出しました! この日は干潮のタイミングということで 潮の満ち引きで川の様子も 全然違うそうです! あまり慣れていない僕たちのペースを 常に気を遣ってくださりながらで しんどすぎず、また寒くならない程度に 漕ぎながらポイントもたくさん 案内してもらいました! また写真や動画も最後に共有していただけて びっくりしたのですが画質もめちゃくちゃ良くて サンセットと漕いでる僕たちの写真とかも アングルとかもすごい綺麗で ホテルに戻ってゆっくりみて感動しました! ガイとさんの大ちゃんは 元々、奄美大島のご出身だそうですが 名古屋や関東にも在住経験があるそうで お話も面白くてめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです★ 奄美大島にまた行きたい! そう思わせていただける最高の時間でした!

[Orion Ishigakijima Highlights] ★Starry sky commentary included★Private tour for small groups! ★Beginners and children are welcome! ★Shuttle service available! ★Free photo data gift! ★Hot showers and changing rooms available! ★Very popular with small children!

The sunset sinking into the horizon at eye level. The color of the sky changes from moment to moment. You can also enjoy the mangrove forest and the starry sky. Under the starry sky, the starry sky commentary using laser beams is very popular as it is easier to understand than a planetarium. Stand by on the sea before the sunset. The sun changes color as it sinks and the color of the sky changes from moment to moment. You can feel the wind blowing change as well. You will then enter a river lined with mangroves where it gets gradually darker, and you may even see birds that were absent during the day returning to sleep. As you paddle across the ocean, you will see the stars appear one by one in the clear sky, and before you know it, the sky is full of stars. You will be amazed at the number of stars, which seem to be scattered like grains of sand. The Milky Way lies overhead, and you will be given a commentary on the starry sky. This starry sky can only be seen in the northern part of Ishigaki Island, which is a starry sky conservation area. The explanation is given using laser beams, so it is easy to understand and has been well received.
沖縄旅行もSUPも初めて、1人参加の無謀なおばさんを快く引き受けていただき感謝しております。 SUPの説明、指導もとても丁寧で安心して楽しむことができました。 曇り空で星が見れないため、山に案内していただき、幻想的なホタルのイルミネーションや八重山コウモリを間近に見ることができました。 送迎中も気さくにお話しでき、石垣島の特徴や生物についても教えていただきました。 終始黒田さんの丁寧なご対応で貴重な体験ができ素晴らしい思い出になりました。 お世話になり、ありがとうございました。

[Orion Ishigakijima Points] ★Private tour for small groups! ★Beginners and children are welcome! ★Shuttle service available! ★Free photo data! ★Hot showers and changing rooms available! ★Very popular with small children! Paddle not only in the river but also in the sea for a satisfying experience! Starting from a beach that resembles the original landscape of Okinawa, weave through the mangroves to the tidal flats in the back. You can enjoy both the sea and the river. Everyone from babies to grandparents can play together. [About the tour start time] The tour start time is set taking into account the tides. We will contact you after your reservation is confirmed to confirm the exact start time. Enjoy kayaking/SUP while being rocked by the waves on the wide, bright sea. Even beginners can practice while actually moving forward. By the time you reach the river, you will have improved quite a bit. Once you pass under the bridge, the world of mangrove virgin forest spreads out before you. Slowly move forward on the calm river surface without waves. The mangroves get closer and closer. Crabs are hiding at the base. Birds are watching you. Take pictures of such a scene and go further in. Soon, the wide tidal flats come into view. Many crabs and other creatures live on the tidal flats. The moment you step on the tidal flats, gobies and many crabs fly away from your feet. Birds ring out overhead. Crabs peek out from their holes. If you listen carefully, you can hear all kinds of voices and sounds. It's lively in the summer, but when it cools down, it becomes quiet. In the hot season, you can even swim. We explain about the creatures and catch them to observe. I want the children to know the fun of discovering them for themselves! After spending some time in this other world, we go down the river again and head to the sea, realizing that we have become quite skilled at kayaking/SUP. When we come out of the narrow river, the sea feels much wider. We head for the finish line, either leisurely or with effort.
1歳と3歳の子供と参加しました。子供にもとても優しく接してくれ初めてのカヌーを楽しんでいました。途中で海や、川で遊ばせてくれて、その際も一緒になって遊んでいただきました。 とても楽しかったです!

このツアーを選んだ理由は、 カヌーとナイトツアーが希望だったのですが、それぞれ単体で選ぶと拘束時間も長く、旅程がうまく組めなかったのと、口コミにカヌーはみんな昼間に行うので夕方は空いていると書いてあったことです 本当にその通りで、午後の部の人が戻ってくるタイミングでの出発だったので、本当に私と母とガイドさんの3人だけの空間でした。すれ違う見知らぬ観光客に「おつかれさまです」など言うのも楽しかったです まだ昼間の気温が28℃程ありましたので、夕方だとちょうど涼しい風が吹き始めてカヌーをするのに最適でした 一瞬小雨が降って、虹が出たり、夕日を眺めたり、蟹がいたり、最高すぎました ナイトツアーは、ガイドさんがクロウサギを見つけるのが本当に上手で、20匹も出会うことができました。夫婦のクロウサギや、親子3匹のクロウサギ、子ウサギも見ることができましたし、鳴いていたり、草を食べたり、フンをしているところなど色々なクロウサギさんが見られてとてもとても癒されました ちょうど晴れた夜空に無数の星が煌めいており、車を降りて見ることができました。天の川も見られ、これ以上ないくらいの思い出になりました 本当にありがとうございます

妻と二人で参加しました。 ガイドのお兄さんがとても頼りになる感じの良い方で、カヌー/SUP共に丁寧に教えて頂いて安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。 個人的には川平湾でのカヌーが特に良かったです。風もあるし曇ってるしで全然良い天気ではなかったのですが、それでも海が透き通って素晴らしく綺麗で感動しました!またオフシーズンだったせいかカヌーの参加者は自分達のみで、川平湾を独占出来た感じでとても気分が良かったです。カヌーに乗って静かな海の上にプカプカ浮いている時間はとても贅沢で「石垣島来て良かった〜」って思いました。

今回、息子と二人で初めて宮古島を訪れました。 12月にマリンアクティビティが出来るのか半信半疑でしたが、天気予報を見ると晴れのマーク…すかさず連絡して贅沢なコースを予約。 電話口の女性の方も丁寧で分かりやすく説明していただき好感が持てました。 そして、先ずはSAP…立てるのか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方から親切丁寧に教えていただき、直ぐに立つことが出来、色んな遊びを盛り込んでくれてアッという間に終わってしまいました。 次に2人乗りカヌーに乗りケイビングへ…パンプキン鍾乳洞は神秘的な場所で異世界を堪能し、最後は3メートルぐらいの高さからダイブ! スカッとしました。 そして昼食を挟み、シュノーケリングへ…ウミガメに遭遇するか運任せだったけど、直ぐに遭遇することが出来てラッキーでした! ニモや他の熱帯魚、そして珊瑚も見ることが出来ました。 どれも甲乙つけ難いアクティビティで、大大大大満足でした。 3人のインストラクターの方々も優しく面白く笑顔の素敵なメンバーでした。 次に宮古島を訪れることがあれば、リピートしたいと思います。 楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

Recommended for those who are confident in their physical strength, this course runs through the Kushiro Wetlands, starting from Lake Toro and leisurely descending down the wide, calm river to Iwahoki Sluice while feeling the breeze blowing through the wetlands. Basically, you won't get wet, so it's okay if you come in clothes that are suitable for the climate and easy to move in. For those who are short on time, we recommend the short course from Hosooka Station to Iwahogi Water Gate. *This is a long course.
初めての釧路湿原でカヌーで自然散策。 ロングコースは約17kmとほんとにロングでした。序盤からいきなりラスボスクラスのオオワシに出会ったのを皮切りにオジロワシ、タンチョウ、ミンクとフルコースで出会えて感動の連続でした。 オジロワシの巣、獲物を狙って旋回するオジロワシが印象的でした。 エゾシカ、キタキツネ、アオサギ、トンビは普通にいる感じでした。 腕は結構疲れましたが心地よい疲労感です。 アクティビティには多少の疲労感はウェルカムという方には猛烈におすすめです! オジロワシ、ミンク、キタキツネ、オオワシの写真です。スマホ撮影なのでどれも判り辛いですが写真を載せておきます。 探してみてください。

はじめてのカヌー。姉夫婦と2組4人でのチャレンジ。しかも50代、60代となかなかの年齢の私たちにできるのか?と不安ながらも歳も歳だけにやってみたいことは早めにやっておかないととチャレンジ。 しかも初心者なのに翌日の御来光カヌーツアーまで申し込み、欲張りさんの私たちでしたが、 当日、ガイドさんにお会いした時から優しいガイドさんに安堵感を覚え、一気にリラックスモードへと。カヌーでいざ出発。初日は夫婦で2人乗り。‥‥楽しい。楽しすぎる。少し風が強かったけどそれもまた楽しい。なんて楽しいんだろう。楽しいしか言えないくらい楽しい。 でもさすがにはじめてのカヌー。写真撮りたいけどさすがの初日はポケットからスマホを出すことは出来ずでしたが、ガイドさんがいっぱいデジカメで撮ってくれてました。写真付のツアー有り難しです。2日目、早朝御来光ツアー。この日は1人乗りをチョイス。陽が登る前にビュースポットまでいざ出発。前日と打って変わって、波がなく、凪。ビュースポットに辿り着き、陽がのぼるまでしばし。段々と陽がのぼり水面がキラキラキラキラ。出ました御来光。‥‥ステキすぎる光景に感動です。あの光景は最高の宝もの。 まさにプライスレス。お金では買えません。 本当にこんな経験はしなきゃ損。絶対おすすめです。そしてなんといってもガイドさん。〇〇さんでよかった。出会いに感謝です。ありがとうございました。

The person who started the sea turtle boom will decide the meeting place from the sea turtle point on Miyakojima depending on the wind direction and tide movement on the day. Our proud snorkeling experience focuses on choosing the best points! It is a plan where you can enjoy two tours where you can enjoy playing in the sea with a sea kayak while enjoying the pumpkin limestone cave that shines in a fantastic emerald green and nature. The instructor in charge will take photos from various angles while ensuring safety. Many wild sea turtles are friendly, so you can often swim at close range. We will start from the beach where you can touch your feet. We will search for points on the beach, so you will not be on a boat. This tour is sure to satisfy even first-timers. A limestone cave in the sea is a tour where you can truly feel the "mystery"! ! In the cave called Pumpkin Hole, you can feel negative ions and history, and the images you see with your own eyes are unforgettable. This is a tour where you can kill two birds with one stone and also experience sea kayaking at the same time!
小雨の中の亀さんシュノーケルでしたが、海中は意外と透明度が高く、亀さんもすぐにいました。水色の珊瑚も見られて綺麗でした。パンプキンホールまでの道のりで泥パックや温泉も楽しかったです。最後のジャンプも思い出に残りました。 お昼ご飯がないのと、ウエットスーツを着たままレンタカーでの移動があるのでビニールシートが必要です。
