1週間いた石垣島旅行の最終日に参加しました。 他にも一人旅で参加されている方も多く、ガイドのあゆちゃんが仲良くなれるように働きかけてくれてそのあと一緒にお昼ご飯を食べるほどにまでなりました。 ツアーの方は風向きの影響でコースに変更があったのですが、その分ツアー代金を安くしてもらうことができ、西表島のマングローブをSUPと徒歩で楽しく散策できました。 PIPIさんのツアーはこれまでも沖縄の離島を訪れるたびに利用していていますが、非常に安定したクオリティでガイドの方もみなさんとても話しやすいです。また訪れた際にはお世話になろうと思います。

You can't do normal snorkeling anymore! What does that mean? Did you know that in order to see the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish in the sea, you have to swim 1000m round trip from the beach in shallow waters? To be honest, it requires a lot of physical strength. After the tour, I saw the faces of the tour company customers around me looking exhausted, and we guides also love the sea and go there often, but it would be better if we didn't have to swim in these shallow waters to and from. When I thought that, I came up with this activity! You don't have to swim to the snorkeling point, you can get on a SUP and have fun while you go there✨ What's good about it? ☆You can easily go to the point where you can see beautiful coral reefs, lots of fish, and sea turtles on a SUP✨☆It's a private tour just for you, so you can swim until you get tired, relax on the SUP, or play as much as you like♪☆Children, beginners, and people who are worried about the sea can get on the SUP at any time, so it's safe and secure! ☆We take lots of photos and videos!!! At LYHAHA ishigakijima, we do private tours, not with other customers, so that our customers can enjoy themselves freely! Since it's a private tour, even inexperienced people can enjoy it at their own pace☆ We will guide you to the best of our ability, taking safety into consideration, so that you can have the most enjoyable time! *We currently do not offer a shuttle service. We may be able to accommodate depending on the reservation situation, so if you do not have a car, please contact us.
事前のメッセージや、日時変更にも快く応じていただきました。 スタッフさんのお人柄と絶妙な距離感のお陰で私達らしく楽しむことができました! 夫は最後の方、スタッフさんの潜りのすごさに感動して魚よりもそっちを観察していたみたいです(笑) 帰りの車内はダイコウさんミユさんたちみたいな2人になりたいねと盛り上がりました! ウミガメも探してくれ、まさに真横で泳ぐことができて、感動体験でした! 雷から始まり、最後は青空のピカピカ天気で終わり、ずっと楽しめた時間を過ごせました! 終わりには、私たちの次の予定を聞いて下さりそれなら、、とおすすめのお店などを教えてくださりとっても嬉しかったです! ぜひまた石垣島に行く時は、お願いしたいと思っています! ハッピーな思い出をつくっていただき、ありがとうございました!

初めての体験ダイビングで、最初海に入った時は不安になりギブアップしようかと思ったのですが、スタッフさん達がとても優しく丁寧に教えてくださり、最後まで諦めずに付き添っていただいたおかげで不安もなくなり潜ることができました! おかげで石垣のキレイな海の中の景色を堪能でき、最高の思い出になりました。 体験ダイビングではロープを伝って降りるだけで終わりというショップが多いと聞いていたのですが、こちらのショップではしっかり時間をかけて海の中を案内してくださいました。 船の上でもスタッフさん達と楽しくお話できて1日があっという間でした! お昼に用意していただいたお弁当もおいしかったー! 最後に撮ってもらった写真を送ってもらったのですがそれもホントにキレイで永久保存版です! (私が写ってる写真はあえて載せてないですがお魚と一緒に撮ってもらった写真もたくさんいただきました♪) また次は友達を連れてこちらにお願いしたいです! 本当にありがとうございました!
