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。

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.

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.
当日の予約でしたが快く対応していただきました。 友人と2名で参加。他1グループ2名で計4名でした。全員初めてのSUPでしたが、説明、実演のあとに練習タイムがありこちらのペースを見つつ日の入りの時間に合わせてポイントまで進行して貰えました。 途中、何度も夕陽をバックに写真や動画も撮っていただき終了後に送っていただきました。(友人が操作したので分からないのですがおそらくAirDropかと) 最高の夕焼けと星空を堪能できましたし、ガイドさんの星好きがひしひしと伝わってくるお話をSUPに寝転びながら聞くことができ最高の体験となりました。 風の少ないポイントに移動しての休憩や、自由時間もあるのでSUP初心者も経験者も楽しめると思います。 休憩で砂浜にあがった際には生き物や自然の案内もしてもらえて大満足です。 お手洗い、シャワー、更衣室など設備は全て揃っていますしスマホの防水ケースも貸していただけました。(こちらは電話の際に相談したためご厚意だったかもしれません、数に限りもあると思いますしケースの防水性能にも限度はあるので自己責任で…) ありがとうございました。

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.

This is a local meeting-only tour where you can enjoy the magic hour after sunset and starry skies from a SUP. Enjoy a magical time gazing at the starry sky while lying on the SUP, surrounded only by the sounds of nature. You can take photos of the starry sky with your smartphone (some models, such as iPhone night mode). Ishigaki Island's starry sky: Ishigaki Island is home to Japan's first certified "Starry Sky Protection Area," making it one of the world's best spots for stargazing. The Milky Way unfolds on nights around the new moon, and various constellations can be seen depending on the season. The best time to see the Milky Way is in the summer, from June to August. If you're lucky, you might even be able to see the blue-white glowing plankton, "noctiluca," from early summer to autumn. Cloudy skies and days around the full moon: Due to the nature of this plan, the tour is subject to weather conditions and may be canceled on cloudy days or days close to the full moon. We strive to avoid disappointment by avoiding stargazing, so we appreciate your understanding. *There is no cancellation fee, and prepayments will be refunded.

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!!

"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!!! And now you can take them yourself! 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. SLR cameras are great, of course, but taking photos and transferring the data to your phone takes time. Now that cell phones have advanced to the point where you don't even need a camera, anyone can take beautiful photos of the starry sky! You don't need to go on a starry sky tour anymore, and maybe even a camera!? We'll teach you a surprising photography technique☆ (This may not be possible depending on the weather and the phases of the moon.) [Time Schedule] (August) Meet at your desired location around 7:50 PM ↓ Coconut crab watching 20:15 ↓ Stargazing & photography 20:50 ↓ End around 21:30

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.
