Okinawa Prefecture Fauna

the tour was great !! Our guide Ten was on time for pickup. Ten was very friendly and explain everything very well :) we had the chance to see a scorpion and a snake which is rare ! but also a big coconut crab and giant spiders 😆

We were a group of 1 adult and 2 children visiting Ishigaki. Although it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see the starry sky due to too many clouds after the typhoon (we originally expected to capture beautiful starry skies), the jungle and beach exploration still made both the children and adults happy. The tour guide was young, energetic, and enthusiastic. Below are the reviews from the two children. Brother: I had fun during the jungle tour. I saw a sea snake in the water near the shore, lots of hermit crabs, and my favorite, a coconut crab. The ghost crab was the hardest to find, and we also saw a butterfly pupa and even a hider crab. Overall, it was really fun and exciting. Sister: It was very fascinating to explore this jungle I’d never seen. Exploring new areas and animals and learning the history of this island was very eye-opening. The tour guide was very insightful and friendly, and he also knew how to speak English and communicate with us.

Va ser una experiència fantàstica. El personal parlava prou bé l'anglès. Vam tenir una senyora treballant amb el nostre grup tot el temps que ens va fer vídeos i fotos perquè poguéssim gaudir de l'snorkel amb el tauró balena. Realment increïble veure aquesta bellesa en el seu hàbitat natural.

Tot i que l'excursió va ser una mica calorosa, va ser molt interessant! Els nens mai havien experimentat una aventura nocturna a la jungla! El guia ens va recollir a l'hotel, i en Shin-chan va ser especialment entusiasta. Pel camí vam veure tota mena d'insectes: papallones, granotes, aranyes grans, insectes pal, etc. El cranc de coco va ser més difícil de trobar, així que en Shin-chan ens va portar a veure el cel estrellat. Es va esforçar molt per fer fotos a cada grup, molt dedicat i responsable! Les fotos van quedar precioses! Amb els nostres mòbils és molt difícil fotografiar les estrelles! Finalment, de tornada, en Shin-chan va trobar una cria de cranc de coco, tot i que no era gaire gran, almenys el vam poder veure!

Instructor: Leia Seguretat: La enquesta prèvia mitjançant codi QR va ser molt exhaustiva, cosa que em va donar molta confiança i em va agradar. Ubicació: Estava a poca distància a peu i hi havia moltes lluernes, cosa que va ser fantàstic❣️ Experiència: Ja havia vist lluernes a Bohol, Filipines, així que no esperava gaire, però va ser aclaparadorament millor i tot va ser realment perfecte. Equipament: Era un dia de pluja i em van llogar unes botes de pluja netes de la meva talla, cosa que em va impressionar.

I give the 5 stars service mostly for our guide i(Jensen) for his tring everything to show us what he could in the walk and on the beach. He waited for all groups left so we could see the perfect sky full of stars. The highlight of the tour is we could capture the moment of sea turtle laying eggs on the beach! we could see it solely due to the guide’s dedication to his work and his passion to the nature! the only thing the tour should pay attention to is the air-conditioning of the minibus.

Va ser una experiència molt divertida. La instructora tenia molts coneixements, era amable i es va poder comunicar amb fluïdesa amb el grup. Vam començar en un grup gran i una part del grup va haver de tornar al seu vehicle. Ella els va poder ajudar mentre la resta de nosaltres continuàvem buscant fauna salvatge. Va esmentar què calia buscar i hi havia altres grups al voltant, així que encara ens sentíem segurs. Va tornar i va continuar el recorregut. Vam tenir la sort que un altre grup va poder trobar el cranc de coco i molta gent va poder fer fotos. Va ser una nit ventosa i freda, trobar el cranc va ser més difícil del normal.

For our honeymoon, we visited Iriomote Island for the first time, and as soon as we arrived, we joined a firefly tour. I had seen a few fireflies in the countryside when I was very young, but my wife had never seen them before. As dusk fell and it grew darker, fireflies began to appear one by one, and soon every space we looked at was filled with them. It was an unimaginable, truly rare experience. I don't know how many chances we'll have in our lives to encounter fireflies again. If you visit Iriomote, I highly recommend experiencing this!
