単身で参加させていただきました。フィールドへの移動中も含めて、気さくな職員さんに生き物の解説や雑談をしていただき、あっという間の2時間でした。ヤシガニはもちろん、セミの羽化やサソリモドキといったなかなかお目にかかれない生態を生で観察でき、大変満足です。これは運次第でしかありませんが、生憎の曇天で星空が見られなかったのだけは唯一の心残りです。いつかリベンジしたいですね。

"A plan that allows you to use regional coupons" ★A shop whose owner is from Ishigaki Island and cherishes the heart of the island ★Free tour photos for those who request ★Enjoy the island, sky, sea, and mountains in full 360 degrees ★Reservations on the same day are also welcome by phone! ★Reservations are possible for 1 person or more♪ A romantic kayak tour of the sunset over the ocean! Would you like to be immersed in the majestic scenery that can only be experienced on Ishigaki Island? If you go out to sea in a kayak, you can see the sunset spreading out before your eyes. Enjoy the dynamic location of the island, sky, sea, and mountains. The illuminations of nature that change over time are a fantastic sight that will take your breath away. Slowly, it gets dark, and when you look up at the sky while being surrounded by the sound and scent of the waves, you will see a sky full of stars. A moment with a shooting star...and the sound of waves and the chirping of red-winged birds gently echoing on the quiet beach. Depending on the time of year, marine plankton called ``noctiluca'' can be seen subtly glowing in the sea. The appeal of night kayaking is that nocturnal creatures move around actively and you can see their different faces than during the day. Island time passes slowly...Why not try relaxing your mind? ∴‥∵‥∴‥∵‥∴‥∴‥Beginners welcome∵‥∴‥∵‥∴‥∴‥∵‥∴Half of the people who participate in our tours are inexperienced.

先ずは今回、素晴らしい体験をさせていただいたツアーガイドの露木さんに感謝申し上げます。 彼女(妻)と2人でカヤックに乗って時間の経過とともに空と海の色が変化し、大自然に包まれている一体感を感じました。星の話などガイドさんのポイントポイントでの説明が的確で邪魔にならず、心地良く聞くことができました。

トシさん、素晴らしいツアーをありがとうございました。家族5人で元日から、とても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。 当日は、曇り空で時々雨がパラつくあいにくの天気でしたが、やりたかった事を全て体験させて下さり、大大大満足でした。 絶景スポット、初めてのシュノーケリング、洞窟探検などなど…どれも良くて、石垣島の魅力を存分に感じられる素敵な時間でした。 車移動中の、トシさんのお話も楽しかったです。 言葉では言い尽くせ無いくらい本当に大満足でした。 機会がありましたら是非是非もう一度参加したいです!

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~ Kayak lecture (tour explanation), photography (15 minutes) ④18:15~ Kayak 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 using a laser pointer (10 minutes) ⑥19:35~ Firefly tour (March to May only) We will move to a point where you can see fireflies and hold a firefly tour. (20 minutes) ⑦19:55~ If you are using a rental car, you will disband on the spot, and if you are using a shuttle, we will send you off!
前日の予約でしたが、連絡をまめに入れてくださり、安心して参加できました。 当日は月もなく空はクリアで波もほぼなかったので、水平線に沈む夕日、星空、海ほたるに夜光虫まで見ることができました。湾のことを知り尽くしているガイドさんだけに、珍しい海ほたるが見れたのだと思います!送迎から現地に着くまでの待ち時間が結構長く、少し不安もよがりましたが、星座の説明や一眼レフでの撮影などもして頂き、とても満足度の高いツアーでした。また機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします!

Float in the sea at night and look at the starry sky, or watch the glowing nocturnal insects underwater... It is a "Healing Night tour" to enjoy such a fantastic atmosphere.
海中では夜光虫のキラキラした光りやパチパチという音がとても心地よく、夜空を見れば無数の星が輝いてました。 これをプカプカ浮かびながら見るのは最高に気持ちがよく、これだけでも石垣島に来た甲斐があったと思いました。 天体観測が趣味の人の気持ちが凄い解りました。 本当におススメです。 ガイドの方も丁寧で、星の説明もしてくれました。 風向きなどで波が立たない場所を選んでくれましたが、最高の環境でした。 ありがとうございました!また来たときはお願いしたいです!

A starry sky and a mysterious night adventure! Coconut crab night tour A night tour where you can encounter precious creatures while exploring the great outdoors at night! Before searching for coconut crabs, we will start by searching for creatures in the jungle. In the jungle, you may see nocturnal creatures unique to Yaeyama. You may have a chance to encounter snakes such as the viper, the Yaeyama scorpion, one of only two species of scorpion in Japan, the scorpion-like imitation, the agile Sakishima tree lizard and Sakishima grass lizard, Yaeyama's endemic frogs, and even the Ryukyu wild boar and Yaeyama flying fox! After that, we move to the coast and finally start searching for coconut crabs. We will observe the ecology of the coconut crab, one of the world's largest terrestrial crustaceans, up close. On the beach, you may encounter land hermit crabs, various crabs, and if you're lucky, even sea snakes. The night sky is filled with stars and the Milky Way, allowing you to experience the mysteries of nature in a fantastical atmosphere. Please join us on this special tour where you can fully experience the charm of Yaeyama at night, which is completely different from daytime!
