Things to do in Miyako-jima

This was an amazing experience!!! Mashi, our tour guide, was AMAZING from start to finish! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a great spot and the photos turned out fantastic!! you need to do this! 100/10 recommend!

Experience: We decided to explore at night on a whim after arriving in Miyako, so our evening wouldn't be boring. It turned out to be an incredibly amazing experience! We stumbled upon a gathering of coconut crabs on the island and encountered these rare creatures on rocks, in trees, and even on the sidewalks! There were also many other fascinating and wild small animals, cute frogs, hermit crabs, stick insects, and butterflies sleeping at night! The kids had an absolute blast! Location: This is the most crucial part, as it’s difficult to get a taxi at night. This company provides hotel pick-up and drop-off services! This saves a lot of time and energy! Instructor: We had TAKU, who provided patient and detailed explanations in English throughout the tour. His English wasn't too difficult to understand, so feel free to give it a try! He was super patient with the kids! So much so that when I wanted to book a snorkeling trip the next day and found out TAKU was also a guide for that, I immediately booked it! An excellent guide makes the trip easy and enjoyable! TAKU is very conscientious and responsible, and he has a WeChat contact that you can use to reach him and he'll also send you travel photos. After booking, specify in the email that you need to contact them via WeChat. They will contact you later, so don't worry. (Since I booked on the same day, I couldn't log in to WhatsApp, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to reach them, but Klook's customer service helped me follow up, and they quickly contacted me via WeChat.) Equipment: For the night tour, they provide mosquito repellent and headlamps. You don't need to bring anything except a bottle of water, as you might get thirsty while walking. Shorts and a T-shirt are also fine; there's no danger.

Being January, the middle of winter, I was worried about the cold and hesitated, but I chose this tour and it was absolutely perfect! I received kind instructions via email and WhatsApp the day before the tour, and they provide all snorkeling equipment (mask, wetsuit, diving boots, and short fins), so all you need to bring is a swimsuit and towel. We met at the 2nd parking lot of Shigi beach, put on wetsuits, moved to the beach, listened to some precautions, and then entered the water to put on the remaining equipment. After receiving the meticulous service of providing anti-fog medicine for the snorkeling mask, the tour begins in earnest! The underwater environment is clear and clean, so you can enjoy it with a clear view!! I was able to spend a fun and happy time meeting sea turtles and tropical fish like Nemo while listening to the kind and passionate guide Mayu's skilled leading and guidance!!! In particular, guide Mayu showed great activity with excellent English skills and constantly checking the safety of the group, as well as leaving wonderful memories with amazing underwater photography, and it was a perfect experience with the added consideration of providing warm water after the tour!!!! Thank you Mayu! If you want to go on a snorkeling tour in Miyakojima, don't hesitate and apply here! Definitely!

Don't forget stargazing in Miyakojima 💫, an unforgettable memory •̀ ᗜ •́ ♥️ I really wanted to see a coconut crab, and I met two! I'm so lucky! 🦀🍀 Mayu Jungle Guide was kind and cute ᐢ⑅•ᴗ•⑅ᐢ I hope to see you again next time. Koreans and Japanese people all gather in Miyakojima, so if you come, let's go on a jungle tour! Papago makes communication no problem, a choice you won't regret! Klook 💫

Experience: The service includes fish-watching, but the fish weren't visible due to bad weather and sea conditions on the day. Refunds were provided 👍. Facilities: The lunch buffet offers a standard variety of food and desserts, with average taste. More variety is recommended.

We saw that the next day was going to be sunny and decided to book this experience. Our group was led by Masutani Ryoma-san and Yuuri-san. They are amazing, super fun team and very knowledgeable. The entry to the pumpkin cave is a leisurely kayak. The cave itself was so amazing, and the guides shared so many interesting facts about this holy site. theres some climbing inside the cave, but we felt safe the whole time. it was such an enjoyable experience and we recommend anyone visiting Miyako to try it. Thank you Ryoma, Yuuri and the Adventure Pipi team. 🫶

I had such a great time! Our guides, Ryo and Kyoka, spoke excellent English and were very friendly. The snorkeling was fun, and the canoeing was especially exciting and memorable! They also took lots of beautiful photos for us, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very satisfied!

best way to travel around the island. taxi is limited, pre-reserved chartered is highly recommended.

Coach Kazuma has excellent English and is easy to communicate with. He can simply explain the techniques for using the equipment and provide tips. You can leisurely paddle a canoe or stand-up paddleboard in the sea, admire the sunset environment, and enjoy a pleasant journey.
