My son and I applied in the first week of November. It's nice to have a hotel pick-up as you can't drive. On the way to the beach, he told us about the flowers of Miyakojima. Kayak to Pumpkin Cave. It was a very powerful place that even laypeople could see was a very sacred place. I thought I was just going to go in and see it, but the guide climbed up and hung up the rope and I decided to go up. It was quite thrilling and my legs shook. My son, who is in the fifth grade, is very excited about the exploration. I felt dependable and grew up leading my mother, who was hunched with fear. The guides explained the caves in various ways, and I understood their value more. When I left the cave, I felt somewhat purified. In the afternoon we went snorkeling. They will also explain the equipment and how to use it. Even if you are not a good swimmer or physically weak, you can rest assured that your guide has a floating ring that everyone can grab. They made sure to check the safety on the way. I was very happy to take photos with clownfish and sea turtles. He later shared a lot of photos with me, which left me with memories of my trip with my son. The place is Shigira Beach, so anyone can come, but he took me to a pretty deep place, so I think I would have been anxious if I didn't have a guide. I signed up for this tour and it was a great answer. My go-to guide in Dundee, Gen-chan! Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories and photos!

I'm going to turn my life into a friend! The pumpkin tour that I was interested in. The weather was delicate, so we were worried, but as a result, we went and got it right! Pumpkin was of course amazed by the power, but I was also moved by the mystical scenery & superb views above it, which made my heart warm. We had a very memorable and fun day! It was also a really good memory thanks to my good-looking brother in Osaka who guided me physically! Thank you very much.

Snorkeling in the mystical Pumpkin Cave and emerald green waters was the best experience I will never forget. I felt overwhelmed by the power of nature and like I was being washed. The attentive support from the guide was also good. I want to go again. It was a great trip to see two sea turtles as well.
The best tour of your big brother!

On my first trip to Miyakojima, I thought "what should I do?" and chose snorkeling and limestone cave & kayak experience! Yutei's guide, also known as the "wakachi na big brother", who was in charge of the event, was really great and we enjoyed it throughout 😄✨ When I go to Miyakojima again, I definitely want to experience it again!
A touching sea turtle encounter. Pumpkin Cave is mysterious and adventurous!

During the morning snorkeling, we suddenly encountered two sea turtles! There were also many colorful fish. Pumpkin Caves are more mysterious than you might think. We roped our way up the cave, and finally jumped off the pumpkin into the water… (I was pretty thrilled!) Is that your guide's Wakachiko brother? Yutei-san was a wonderful guide, with a good sense of humor, and she was very caring, allowing me to take breaks when I was tired. Thank you for a great day.

I don't usually go into the water, but I was able to go into the beautiful water and I had some great photos taken with the sea turtles, and thanks to my big brother who was so sloppy, it was a great memory. Also, when I came to Miyakojima, it was a tour that made me want to have the same experience.
It was one of the best memories we had!

I was a little nervous at first because I was participating with elementary school children, but thanks to the support of our guide Rintaro, it was a very satisfying day! I also got to meet two sea turtles and enjoyed exploring the mysterious Pumpkin Limestone Cave. The canoe felt good while being blown away by the wind. Most of all, the response of Rintaro and the other guides was wonderful and inspiring!! It was good to be on this tour, and a very good memory!!
It was an amazing experience!

Our tour guide Kazu was very informative and friendly. We encountered sea turtles, Nemo and lion fish etc… which was really cool. The kayak to pumpkin cave was amazing. Pumpkin cave is cultural heritage and very sacred place. City is trying to make it a national treasure and once it becomes one, nobody will be allowed to enter our tour guide said. We felt lucky we got to go there. I definitely recommend this tour and we had an amazing experience with them.
