Miyako District

It was windy but worth it. Love the food as well. The staff also gladly took photos when the ship passed by the bridge.

Many thanks to Ken-chan for providing us with an unparalleled experience! Our family of three signed up, and it included round-trip transfers! There were also seven or eight other participants, mostly Japanese! It was clear that everyone loved insects and stargazing! Our guide, Ken-chan, is a very professional and handsome guy! He also speaks English! He led us to see plants, small lizards, geckos, butterflies, spiders, cicadas, coconut crabs, stick insects, and praying mantises on Miyakojima, providing very detailed and thorough explanations! In the latter half, he showed us the starry sky, including the Summer Triangle in the Northern Hemisphere, and the moon and Venus were very close together! The sky full of stars was beautiful! Ken-chan also took time-lapse photos for each group that signed up. If you come to Miyakojima, you must sign up for this experience; it will definitely leave you with wonderful memories!

This private car tour experience was fantastic! We booked a 5-hour private car and arranged three attractions ourselves. Everything went smoothly without any delays. Although the driver was Japanese, he was very kind and friendly. Even communicating through gestures was not a problem. At each attraction, the driver waited nearby, which made us feel very secure. He even offered to help us take photos, which was really sweet 😆. After eating ice cream at the Snow Salt Museum, one of our stops, we found a beautiful beach right next to it. We spent some time on the beach; the scenery was stunning, and the weather was very pleasant. The children splashed in the water and played in the sand, enjoying a happy afternoon. Before heading to our last destination, the driver proactively took us to see Ikema Bridge, where we enjoyed the sea view and the breeze. It felt wonderful. It was a great private car experience, highly recommended! 👍👍

It was a great day. Even though I made a temporary reservation, I received excellent service and had a wonderful experience. I'd like to thank Kenta (I'm not sure if I'm spelling the name correctly) for contacting me promptly via email after learning that I couldn't communicate by phone. His English is very good. We talked a lot about paddleboarding. I hope to see you again next time I visit Miyako!

I originally planned to join a regular bus tour, but after looking at many itineraries, I felt that the time spent at each attraction was too short, lacking the leisurely feel that an island trip should have. In the end, I chose a private tour, and after experiencing it, I felt 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 person who loves to travel and is very fluent in English. My English level is quite basic, but he adapted to my level, communicating in simple and easy-to-understand English. When encountering more difficult parts, he would use translation software to show me the Chinese translation. The whole process was very thoughtful and stress-free, and he also helped take photos to remember the trip. Before the end, he recommended some good restaurants and helped make reservations in Japanese over the phone, which was a huge bonus. Overall, it was a very comfortable, relaxed, and pleasant experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants more flexibility in planning their itinerary.

After failing to find the turtles and Nemo on our own, we quickly searched and booked this tour. It was the top wish for this trip, as my child really wanted to see sea turtles and Nemo. The guide spoke English, so communication was easy while snorkeling. Since both I and my child are very timid, I was worried from the start, but I appreciated that safety was their top priority. We were grouped with a Japanese family and a solo male traveler, and our companions were very kind and great. And finally, we saw Nemo and sea turtles! We got super lucky 😍 We created wonderful memories as a family of three, and we are so grateful to our leader, Ken, for taking such good care of us! Thank you so much Ken! 😄😄

A family of three, including a 7-year-old child, applied for the tour. We traveled individually to the meeting point, and our guide, Ten-san, called us around our arrival time to give us directions, so we had no trouble finding the place. It was a tour with a child who was not a strong swimmer, and we were very worried because there was a sudden storm on the day of the tour, with strong waves. However, Ten-san explained everything in detail, from wearing the equipment to safety rules, using English and simple Korean, which put us greatly at ease. We met three turtles at the turtle point and took photos. Even with the storm and waves, they took wonderful photos from great angles. We couldn't go to the Nemo point because the child felt seasick and wanted to leave. Instead, they shared beautiful photos with us! Ten-san led us to the exit point, so we got out safely. There was another team with us, so we had to travel a bit of a long distance back and forth, but we were grateful for their kind guidance. After the tour, it was great that they immediately sent us the photos via AirDrop. The after-service was perfect, even sending recommendations for restaurants and tourist spots via KakaoTalk. The weather was a bit disappointing, but thanks to this, it was a tour that created unforgettable memories for a lifetime! I highly recommend it. Special thanks again to Ten-san for all their hard work!!

This tour is excellent. Our tour guide, Nazar, provided detailed explanations and paid great attention to every detail throughout the trip. Highly recommended! We also highly recommend participating in this activity; the photos taken are very clear, and the coach is very nice and meticulous.

We made a reservation for four people. It seemed like there were four groups of about six people each on the boat. Each group had an instructor assigned, and those who couldn't swim were given a tube attached to a rope and pulled from start to finish. There were three spots in total, and the first one was the best. We started at 11:30 AM and returned around 2:30 PM.
