Okinawa Prefecture Fauna

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. ❤️

Som un grup d'1 adult i 2 nens que hem visitat Ishigaki: tot i que, a causa de la post-tifó, hi havia massa núvols i va ser una llàstima no poder veure el cel estrellat (quan en condicions normals s'hauria pogut fotografiar un cel bell), tant els nens com els adults van gaudir molt de l'aventura per la selva i la platja. El guia va ser jove, dinàmic i apassionat. A continuació, les opinions dels dos nens. Germà: M'ho vaig passar molt bé durant l'excursió per la selva; vaig veure una serp marina a l'aigua prop de la costa, molts crancs ermitans i, el meu preferit, un cranc de cocoter. El cranc fantasma va ser el més difícil de trobar, i també vam veure la crisàlide d'una papallona i fins i tot un cranc poruc. En general, va ser molt divertit i emocionant. Germana: Va ser molt fascinant explorar aquesta selva que mai havia vist abans. Explorar noves zones i animals i aprendre la història d'aquesta illa va ser molt enriquidor. el guia turístic va ser molt atent i amable, i a més sabia parlar anglès i comunicar-se amb nosaltres.

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.

We're so glad we made wonderful memories in Miyakojima! We ended up booking last minute for a same-day tour. It was great fun exploring with our tour guide, Blonde Taichi, seeing over four hermit crabs and coconut crabs, and discovering various insects. The kids really enjoyed it. Thank you, Blonde Taichi, for kindly and entertainingly guiding us, even to the beautiful stars! ♡

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.

Our three-generation family participated in this tour on our first night in Miyakojima! We were worried if the tour would even happen due to a nearby typhoon and cloudy skies, but Naoki Jimuna (Naoki-san) cheerfully brought everyone together, making both the children and adults excited! Thanks to him, other guests successfully found coconut crabs, and everyone was very satisfied! Although we missed out on the starry sky, the evening stroll along the coast, the observatory, and encountering many insects we'd never seen before were great experiences for the kids! Thank you very much!!

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.

This impromptu trip brought us so many touching moments! Our tour guide Lean is a lively and enthusiastic Australian woman. In just over an hour, she led us to find 6 coconut crabs (including Frank!), countless hermit crabs, as well as various insects such as stick insects, scarab beetles, and moths. She also introduced us to some of the local plants. If we didn't have a professional guide leading the way through this mysterious and pristine secret trail, we would never have dared to come on our own. But please don't be afraid! When you reach the stargazing platform at the very end, you are greeted by a sky full of stars that you can never see in the city—it is truly breathtaking and moving 🥹 Not only does Lean help take amazing photos, but she also shares her favorite hidden spots, filling the entire journey with laughter ☺️ Highly recommended!
