Night jungle tour - Interesting night Jungle tour with Adventure PiPi. The guides are patient and showed their knowledge in the different species in the jungle. Saw the firefly pup and Ishigaki special frog. Stars were great as well due to clear sky. Kudos to the team specially chloe who patiently explained to me in English. Never feel lost or left out as the group were all Japanese. Will join the activities by this company when there's a chance.

Perfect night activity in Ishigaki - Amazing tour in the nature of tropical Island. Our guys are super cool, friendly, professional, caring and speak fluent English. Wildlife including hermit crabs, coconut crabs, tortoises and insects are easy to find. The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and our guide taught me how to recognize the Milky Way. We were so lucky to see the luminous creatures in the sea and one of our teammates even saw a shooting star.

Nighttime Adventure Fun - This was such a fun adventure and Takahiro was a great guide, he took his time making sure everyone was able to find wildlife and get pictures. Although I was the only English speaking participant, Taka would make sure to interpret what he was saying to the others so I could be included. We were able to see the magical coconut crab and much more hidden creatures … the sky was a little cloudy but standing under the sky on the beach was a special treat. Highly recommend this tour for outdoor enthusiasts

Very satisfied - It was a wonderful time that did not disappoint. I was so happy to see rare animals like coconut crabs and vipers. Our guide caught them for us so we could see them up close and even touch them! The starry sky was so beautiful it's hard to describe in words. It's definitely better to see it in person than in a photo...!

We met a coconut crab, a snake, a hermit crab about 10 cm long, and a tree lizard! - We participated in the Night Jungle Walk in March! Highly recommended for elementary school children who love animals!! We encountered creatures that we had only seen in picture books, such as hawk crabs, snakes, tree lizards, and nose-spotted frogs!! It was an easy walk, and although we brought insect repellent with us, there were no mosquitoes in March! It seems that there are more insects in the summer! Since it was a full moon, we couldn't see many stars, so we would like to participate again just to watch the stars! The guide told us to ask him anything we wanted about Ishigaki Island!! We will definitely go again. Thank you very much for your help😊

Double check that the English tour actually has English speaking guide. - When we booked this, the description said English tour guide. However, when we got there none of the guides knew how to speak English & they were surprised there were foreigners there. So we couldn’t understand the guides stories that they were saying & we felt kinda left out as the guides didn’t interact with us much as we couldn’t communicate with each other. But, it was okay, the tour was still fun and something spontaneous for us. Just not giving it a 5 star as the ad was misleading.
