I learned a lot. - Four family members (sons 7 and 3) participated. Our guide, Yuri, was knowledgeable in many ways and taught us various stories at a good tempo. He answered each and every one of his son's extraordinary questions, and the children immediately missed him. The tour was very satisfying for both children and adults, with Yuri's success showing palm crabs and perfect starry sky. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you on tour again next year.

Night Tours are so Fun! - The tour was amazing! Lots of creepy things to look for in the darkness and also gorgeous views of the island at night. Kodai was our tour guide. He spoke perfect English and was very accommodating to us as travelers who don't understand Japanese a whole lot (but I did get to practice with him during the tour!). If you're in the area and you want to get some steps in, this is a perfect activity for you.

High Value Tour - We had a group of three, and got one flashlight. It did the job, but it would have been nice to have at least one more. This is considering it’s a tour in the jungle basically and there are spiders everywhere at head level. Recommend bringing some extra flashlights if you can to avoid running into cobwebs and also seeing/finding more animals.

A night tour that will satisfy both adults and children! - We visited Miyakojima on a family trip during the Obon holiday. This was already my child's fourth visit to Miyakojima, so I wanted to give him a new experience, and this tour was what I was looking for. Reservations were accepted on the day, so I made a reservation that morning, taking into consideration the weather and other plans. There was a little rain shower during the day and a lot of clouds, so I was worried whether we would be able to see the stars, but we saw the Milky Way for the first time in our lives! And they took some really great photos. Also, before looking at the stars, we walked through the forest at night and found lots of insects! My child, who loves insects, was very happy. We were also able to find a coconut crab ☆ I'm really glad that we were able to have an experience that can only be had here. Miyabi, our guide, was very cheerful and we had a great time! Thank you very much!

First night tour experience - It was our first time visiting Miyakojima as a family, and we booked a night tour, hoping it would be a good experience for the kids. I was worried that the kids would get fussy during the tour due to fatigue from the day and darkness, but thanks to our guide Yamato, they were fascinated by coconut crabs and giant hermit crabs, which they had never seen before, and had a great time. We were blessed with good weather and could see the stars, so it was a fulfilling tour. Thank you Yamato.

best guide - Pumpkin Cave impressed us. You should definitely go. And Yamato is the best guide. Not only is he very knowledgeable, he follows us a lot. And although you can't imagine it from the outside, it's very child friendly. If Yamato is a guide, everyone can participate in the tour with peace of mind.

鍾乳洞🎃 - I went to Pumpkin Limestone Cave with my friend. When I went there, there was a very surprising sight. He also told us about the history of the Pumpkin Cave. Our guide Yamato had a lot of respect for nature. I really appreciate your sincerity. I would like to ask Yamato to be my guide when I go next time.

This is a recommended tour! - I was very impressed when I encountered a huge coconut crab! I also encountered many smaller ones, and there were other creatures such as frogs and hermit crabs. The stars were also beautiful. Our guide, Yamato, taught us about Miyako Island, the creatures, the stars, and even how to take photos. Even though it was hot, we had a lot of fun! I recommend this tour (^^)

2023/11/03 - Clouds came out and we couldn't see the stars, but the night breeze and the sound of the waves were pleasant. I was hoping to see at least some coconut crabs, but I didn't see any either... But it was a fulfilling experience being able to observe a variety of creatures! Our guide, Shoji, was a good talker and very friendly, which was great! I'd like to go back again.
