50代と70代で参加しました。 ヤエヤマヒメボタルが現れるまでほんの少し時間があるとの事で、綺麗な夕陽が見える場所へ車で寄ってくださり、反対側の空に広がる不思議な夕陽の影まで見せて頂くことが出来ました。 ガイドさんが見つけてあるいくつかの秘密の鑑賞ポイントの中から、年齢に合わせてか、車から歩かずに済む場所で、溢れ出てくるホタルを鑑賞できました。暗闇の中に響く美しい声はリュウキュウコノハズクの鳴き声である事を教えてくれたり、良い距離感でホタル以外のお話しもしてくださいました。 また、星空観察も、息をのむ美しさとはこれなのか、と実感できる程の星が広がるよく見える場所に連れて行っていただきました。こちらも車から降りて空を見上げただけなので、年齢に合わせて下さったのだと思います。ポインターを使っての説明もわかりやすく、知識の深さを感じました。 本当にありがとうございました!こちらのツアーをおすすめします!

Japan's smallest yaeyama firefly that can only be seen on Iriomote Island and Ishigaki island Island. It is a rare firefly that can be seen from March to May and can be seen only about one hour from sunset. When the fireflies glow, it looks like a Christmas illumination. We will guide you to the best spot on Iriomote Island. If you come to Iriomote Island at this time, it is a waste.
