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。

Why not take a kayak on the west coast of Ishigaki Island, where the sun sinks into the sea, and enjoy the sunset and starry sky? In order to lie down on the kayak and enjoy the sunset and starry sky, we use a large model (3-seater) that is larger than the kayaks used in regular tours, with a total length of 440 cm, a width of 80 cm, and a maximum load of 300 kg, so two people use it, which is very stable. In addition, we do not conduct tours during the day, and we are particular about preparing 4 hours before the start of the tour to choose the best point from 7 points depending on the wind direction, tide level, etc. of the day. ~ Flow of the day ~ (For example, in the case of March 1st) ① 17:35 ~ If you are renting a car, please meet directly at the clubhouse parking lot at 17:35. (If you are using a shuttle service, we will pick you up around 17:00). At the shop, you will check in, use the restroom, change clothes, etc. (15 minutes) ② 17:50 ~ Move to the site where the tour will be held. (10 minutes) ③18:00~ Kayaking lecture (tour explanation), photography (15 minutes) ④18:15~ Kayaking tour starts (you can see the starry sky in the second half of the tour) (80 minutes) ⑤19:25~ Starry sky tour Explanation of the starry sky etc. (10 minutes) ⑥19:55~ If you are using a rental car, you will disband on site, if you are using a shuttle, we will send you off! ⑦

★☆ Plan Features ☆★★ Experience the great outdoors with "play + healing"♪ A relaxing experience in the popular "Nagura Bay" with its spectacular location! ★ Enjoy the island, sky, sea and mountains in 360 degrees♪★ Same-day reservations accepted until 3pm! ★ Free tour photos and equipment♪★ Beginners welcome! From one person to a group★ Since our founding, we have had no accidents or violations and are fully insured★☆ Plan Details ☆★ A tour where you can experience a sense of unity with the sea that can only be experienced by riding a SUP, soothed by the dynamic sunset and starry sky! The feeling of freedom of leisurely paddling and strolling on the sea or lying down on the SUP is exceptional. About 20 minutes by car from the city center, the conveniently located <Nagura Bay> is a spectacular location where the sky and sea intertwine. Why not get intoxicated by the majestic scenery that can only be experienced on Ishigaki Island? When you go out to sea on a SUP, you can see the sunset and starry sky spreading out before your eyes. You can enjoy the dynamic natural beauty of the island, sky, sea, and mountains. We will guide you to the best course according to the weather and sea conditions of the day. The natural illumination that changes with time is breathtakingly fantastic. Eventually the sky turns to night, and the stars appear in the sky surrounded by the sound and scent of the waves. A moment with a shooting star... and the sound of the waves echoing on the beach and the cries of the russian kingfisher. Depending on the season, bioluminescent plankton glow faintly in the sea, and you can experience a different nighttime look from the daytime. A support system that is reassuring for beginners and children. We also offer options such as hot showers, saunas, and BBQs (※Pick-up is not included when using options). Enjoy a "non-daily time" that heals your mind and body in the slow flow of island time. ◆What is SUP? A marine sport that originated in Hawaii. "SUP" (Stand Up Paddle) is an activity that is rapidly gaining popularity around the world, where you ride a board with a paddle. It is very stable, so adults and children can ride it right away, and even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it. In addition, since you balance on the board, it is also attracting attention as an exercise that works on the inner muscles of the legs, hips, and core. ◆To enjoy SUP safely There are various dangers lurking in nature. Please act with an instructor who has studied weather conditions, seas, rivers, etc. thoroughly. Please play in a way that suits your level after fully understanding your own physical condition and skill level.

Head out to the night safari on Ishigaki Island. This is your chance to encounter the endangered coconut crab, a popular nighttime sight! Armed with a light, you'll search for the crab by sound, making this a thrilling night tour. Even small children will enjoy it, so it's sure to satisfy. Be sure to join us for some summer vacation memories. Even adults often get excited! And while exploring, head out to the beach for stargazing (on a clear day). Why not enjoy the night sky of Ishigaki, Japan's first certified starry sky sanctuary? We wanted you to take home memories not only with your eyes, but with your words, too, so last year we received the "Beautiful Star Meister" certification from Ishigaki City. You'll also get to see crabs and fish in the ocean puddles at night! It's an absolute hit with kids! (Note: Seeing them at high tide may be impossible.) We're still a small, fledgling establishment, but our small size allows us to operate with small groups, and we prioritize communication and safety. Thank you for your patronage!
生き物好きの息子たちにぴったりと思い申し込みました。ヤシガニだけでなく、ヤドカリやカニなどたくさんの生物に出会えて、とても良い思い出になりました。時間変更や遭遇ポイントなどリクエストにも柔軟に応えていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

"I want to see coconut crabs, but I'm scared of bugs... I don't want to sweat. The jungle seems dangerous." We've created a night tour for people like you!!! ☆What's different from other tours?☆・We'll take you to the viewing spot by car! You don't have to walk much◎・No age restrictions, so the whole family can enjoy it♪・It's a private tour, so you can see them up close! You won't disturb the creatures.・It's a very popular tour, with a relaxed and homey atmosphere, like hanging out with friends♪It doesn't feel like a tour at all♪・Anyone can take starry sky photos, so this price includes starry sky photos!!!

Night tours are very popular on Ishigaki Island, with many shops, and you'll see coconut crabs wherever you go☆Because this tour is open to everyone, we've focused on offering things you can't find anywhere else!! Ishigaki Island is already extremely humid and sticky. When you go into the lush jungle, you'll sweat like crazy, even at night... LYHANA's guides, who have thoroughly enjoyed Ishigaki Island's natural beauty, have repeatedly scouted and investigated the area to ensure everyone can enjoy coconut crabs without any stress, and have finally launched this night tour \( ˆoˆ )/And what's more, if you're going to enjoy Ishigaki Island at night, you definitely want to see the stars!! With that in mind, we've also come up with what is probably the simplest starry sky photography on Ishigaki Island.

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.

Hello! This is SHINKAI Island Tours. [Plan Description] The appeal of the night snorkel tour is that it is easier to discover rare creatures at night than during the day, such as sea turtles, octopuses, sea urchins, starfish, and moray eels. Creatures that hide in holes or in the sand during the day become active at night and can even be seen eating. Creatures that are active during the day go to sleep at night. Fish don't have eyelids, so you can't tell when they're sleeping, but even fish that normally run away when you get close become so sluggish that you can touch them. Different fish sleep in different ways, adding seaweed to keep them from drifting away, putting a membrane around their body, or changing color, so try to observe their different appearance from the daytime. Staff will select an entry point depending on the conditions of the day and start the night snorkel tour. [Plan Schedule] 1. Meet at SOLAIZ Ishigaki Island 30 minutes before sunset 2. Check the size of fins, mask, and snorkel 3. Move to the point 4. Warm-up, safety check, precautions 5. Night snorkel tour begins 6. Ends in about 1 hour tour 7. Shower, change of clothes 8. End of tour [Safe and secure tour] The guide staff are local fishermen who do night diving and are night sea professionals. In addition to managing the safety of our customers, we will decide whether to hold the tour by assessing the conditions on the day of the activity. Children are welcome to join us. In addition, we will lend you safety equipment free of charge when you join the tour. [What to bring] 〇Long sleeves, long pants, top and bottom rash guard 〇Change of clothes, towel 〇Drinks
