GWに夫婦で利用。ガイドさんが非常に親切で、ヤシガニやホタル以外のことも沢山教えてくださいました。 ホタルは、ヤエヤマヒメボタルという小さくて可愛い種類。ホタルを手に乗せることもできました。天然のイルミネーションにしばし忘我の時間。 その後はマングローブ探検に。懐中電灯を使ってヤシガニを探します。1匹くらいは見られたら嬉しいな…という期待を良い意味で裏切られ、沢山のヤシガニ(かなり大きい個体も)を見ることに成功。迫力ある姿を至近距離で捉えられました。 そしてクライマックスは星空フォト。なんと、我々の写真には運良く流れ星が映り込みました。都会では絶対に見られない満天の星空。遥々やってきて良かったと心から思わされます。初めての石垣島、夫との最高の思い出を作ることができた満点のツアーでした。おすすめです。

何度も訪れている石垣島ですが、今回の2人の孫を連れてのナイトツアーに参加して、石垣島の魅力を更に感じることができました。 小3女児は、慣れない暗闇を怖がりしがみ付いていたものの、もふもふの花やヤシガニ、ヤドカリなど…出会う度に目を丸々させて自分からどんどん進んで行き、海辺では貝殻探しまでも楽しんでいました。 小2男児は、小魚やカニの巣穴を見つけては、濡れたり汚れたりすることも気にせず、自分から捕まえようとし、ワイルドな一面を見せてくれました。 2人とも楽しすぎて、また来たいとのことです。他の季節でも新たな発見があると思うので、また必ず参加させてもらいます。 孫達の反応を素早くキャッチしながら、優しくも的確に案内して下さったガイドの方のおかげです。感謝致します。

間違ってヤシガニで申し込みましたが、テナガエビにかえてもらいました。小川に入るとすぐにテナガエビの目が赤く光っており、手で網に追い込むだけですぐ捕まえられました。乱獲すると居なくなっちゃうので、おひとりさま1匹オンリーでしたが、揚げ焼きして石垣島の雪塩で揚げたてを食べると、ビールを持ってこなかったことが悔やまれました。子供の頃九州の川でアメリカザリガニや海でシロエビを取ってたのを思い出してとても懐かしかったです。一人参加でも良い経験になりました!満月に近い月夜でしたがホタルも居て、カエルの鳴き声もとても心地よかったです。一人で来ましたがまた家族で来たいです!

今回、娘の4歳の誕生日祝いで石垣島旅行を決めました。 娘はホタルを見た事がないので、東京で見るより良いかもしれないと思い、申し込みさせていただきました。 テツさんが、娘に優しく接してくださり、安心して参加出来ました。 ポイントへ向かうまでに、他のホタルとの光り方の違いや、石垣島の事など色々お話ししてくださり、道中楽しく過ごせました。 ポイントに着いてから、虫除けスプレーを貸してくださり、娘にはディズニーの虫除けバンドをくださって、助かりました。 テツさんからホタルが出る範囲、時間も聞いていましたが的確で、驚きました。 東京で見たホタルと違いイルミネーションの光のようで、本当に感動しました。 足元まで出てきて、間近で見れて娘も近くにいる、と言っていました。 参加日の朝早くに家を出て、機内で一睡もせず、お昼寝もしてくれずで、眠くてグズグズな娘でしたが、テツさん、参加者の皆さんが優しくしてくださり、感謝です。 皆さんとお別れし、ホテルに着いて起きた娘は、ピカピカ光ってたね〜綺麗だったね〜と手で光る様子を再現していました。 曇天で星空が見れなかったので残念でしたが、ホタルは圧巻でした。 娘には早いかと悩みましたが、参加して良かったです。 ありがとうございました!!

A tour where you can enjoy the best starry sky in Japan and be surrounded by firefly lights 360 degrees around! A beautiful world of light created by the Yaeyama Hime fireflies and a starry sky spreading across the night sky! Come and see the seasonal natural illumination show! The main thing you can observe is the Yaeyama Hime firefly. The way they blink is different from the fireflies seen in Honshu. Fireflies actually light up to mate. When they fly off all at once as if they had arranged it, they are surrounded by fireflies and are enveloped in their lights. The viewing spot is in the mountains, a 20-minute drive from the city. This is a spot that both serious photographers and first-time firefly viewers can enjoy. ◆Firefly peak guideline Early March - 10-20% Mid-March to early April - 30-70% Mid-April to early May - 70-100% After mid-May - Gradually decreasing. After watching the fireflies, if the weather is good, make a little detour before heading home. Come see the starry sky in Yaeyama, one of Japan's leading stargazing spots!
Everything is well equipped. Boots, jacket, pants and anti-mosquito spray are provided. Our tour guide Yoshi is knowledgeable, he introduces us different types of fireflies, birds, insects and the nature. We are lucky to see fireflies, also for the first time in my life, which is gorgeous. Towards the end of tour Yoshi drives us to the beach to watch beautiful sky with a lot of stars at night. The tour is a good deal and strongly recommended.

車を降り、歩きながらの植物のお話も面白く、暗くなるまでの時間も楽しめました。ふくろうの鳴き声を聴きながら、思っていた以上にたくさんのホタルが見られました。本当にキレイでした。 またガイドさんの知識も広く、ホタルの幼虫を赤いライトを当てて見せてくださったり、行きも帰りも車をゆっくり走らせて、常に何かを探しておられ、見つける度に知らせてくださいました。 質問にも答えてくださり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができたツアーでした。
