Miyako District

Moltes gràcies a Ken-chan per oferir-nos una experiència inigualable! Vam ser una família de tres persones que es va apuntar, incloent-hi el transport d'anada i tornada! Hi havia set o vuit persones més amb nosaltres, la majoria japonesos! Es notava que a tothom li agradaven els insectes i el cel estrellat! El supervisor Ken-chan és un noi molt professional i guapo! També parla anglès! Ens va guiar per veure les plantes, petits llangardaixos, petites sargantanes, papallones, aranyes, cigales, crancs de coco, insectes pal i mantis religioses de l'illa de Miyako, i ens va donar explicacions molt detallades i acurades! A la segona part, ens va portar a veure el cel estrellat, el Gran Triangle de l'estiu a l'hemisferi nord, i la lluna i Venus estaven molt a prop! El cel ple d'estrelles era preciós! Ken-chan també va fer fotos de llarga exposició a cada grup inscrit. Si veniu a l'illa de Miyako, us heu d'apuntar a aquesta activitat, segur que us deixarà records meravellosos!

I originally planned to join a standard bus tour, but after looking at many itineraries, I felt that the time spent at each attraction was too short, lacking the relaxed feeling a tropical island trip should have. So, I ultimately chose a private tour, and after experiencing it, I feel it was well worth it. Before departure, I communicated via email and LINE to discuss the attractions I wanted to visit. The itinerary could be flexibly adjusted, which was very reassuring. Our private guide for the day, Ken-san, is a Japanese man who loves to travel and speaks excellent English. My English proficiency is quite basic, but he adapted to my level, communicating in simple, easy-to-understand English. When we encountered more difficult parts, he used translation software to show me the Chinese translation. The whole process was very thoughtful and stress-free, and he also helped take photos along the way. Before the tour ended, he recommended some great restaurants and even helped make reservations in Japanese over the phone, which was a huge bonus. Overall, it was a very comfortable, relaxed, and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for more flexibility in planning their itinerary.

Mami is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever met. She was incredibly warm and enthusiastic, helping us discover all kinds of wildlife and experience the local culture. She was also so patient and thoughtful when taking photos for us. I hope everyone can continue to pursue what they love and stay true to their passion, just like Mami does. ❤️

Després de no aconseguir trobar les tortugues i en Nemo pel nostre compte, ho vaig buscar ràpidament i vaig fer la reserva. El meu fill tenia moltes ganes de veure tortugues i en Nemo, i era el desig principal d'aquest viatge. Com que parleu anglès, ens vam poder comunicar fàcilment mentre fèiem busseig de superfície (snorkelling). Com que tant jo com el meu fill tenim molta por, estava preocupada des d'abans de sortir, però em va agradar molt que prioritzéssiu la seguretat per damunt de tot. Vam anar al mateix equip amb una família japonesa i un noi que viatjava sol, i la resta del grup va ser molt amable i agradable. I per fi vam veure en Nemo i les tortugues. Quina sort! 😍 Vam crear un record meravellós tots tres, i vull agrair a en Ken, el nostre guia, que tingués tanta cura de nosaltres. Thank you so much Ken! 😄😄

We had wonderful Ten for our snorkeling session. He was friendly, patient and a real talented photographer too. We have the best photos from our trip with him. Please request Ten if you value the memories from your trip. He made sure we are all safe, happy and well looked after at all times. It's not easy coordinating photos with a family but he made it effortless. If I'm ever coming back to Miyakojima, I'll be sure to book with him again. He also recommended us some very very good places to eat and drink. All bangers with locals and visitors alike. Thank you a million times, Ten. You made this trip super memorable for us. If you ever doubt the sincerity of this review, just look at the photos and decide for yourselves.

Aquest tour és fantàstic. El nostre guia, Nazar, va oferir explicacions detallades i va prestar molta atenció a cada detall durant tot el viatge. Molt recomanable! Recomano molt participar en aquesta activitat, les fotos també són molt clares i l'instructor és molt amable i atent.

The pre-snorkeling briefing was simple and easy to understand, and basic English was sufficient for communication. The equipment was complete, and the staff were enthusiastic and friendly. Snorkeling out in the open ocean for the first time, I was able to see different scenery compared to what is near the beach, and I was lucky enough to spot a sea turtle in the distance. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. However, people with no snorkeling experience or those who cannot swim might feel a bit panicked when they cannot touch the bottom, making it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. It is recommended to assess your own abilities beforehand.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. the buffet foods was amazing!!! The staff did took lots of picture for us, we appreciate him. Thankyou so much!

Pros: Ens va encantar la nostra visita a la Cova de la Carbassa. Saltar de la carbassa a l'aigua va ser divertit! El caiac va ser agradable. Contres: No vam poder portar la nostra càmera i vam haver de dependir de les fotos que ens van fer ells. Malauradament, les seves fotos no són gaire bones, algunes van sortir bé, però la majoria eren granulades. Estava ple de gent. Grup rere grup entrava a la cova de la carbassa.
