Ishigaki Island/Night] Starry Sky & Subtropical Jungle Night Tour♪Reservations OK on the day!

Ishigaki Island is wonderful during the daytime, but it shows a completely different face at night. This tour gave me an extraordinary experience of adventuring in the jungle under the star-filled sky. What was particularly impressive was the beauty of the starry sky seen from a place with few streetlights. It was like a natural planetarium, and the stars seemed truly within reach. Also, the guide was very kind and taught us about subtropical creatures and plants in detail, so we were able to not only see the stars, but also learn more about the nature of Ishigaki Island. I was also happy that I was able to join the tour at a great price during a campaign. I think this is a great tour for families, couples, or anyone who wants to enjoy it. If I come to Ishigaki Island again, I definitely want to join this tour!

The day was cloudy and there were no stars at all, so we could not do the star watching we were looking forward to. Moreover, it was windy and cold, so we had half given up on the animals, but as soon as we got into the car, the guide spotted an owl perched on an electric wire! We were able to get out of the car and observe it perfectly. I would never have been able to find it if I were a novice. After that, we walked along a narrow path in the dark jungle with a flashlight, and the guide found two coconut crabs, a habu, a purple hermit crab and many common hermit crabs, and a white crab on the beach. It was a very satisfying night tour. The guides here are the real deal! He is amazing!

We were very happy to see coconut crabs, nanafushi, owls, and even fireflies during the Bon festival season, which are rarely seen on the mainland. The second half of the tour consisted of two parts, and we moved to the mountain to enjoy the star-filled night sky and the night view. The guide, Mr. Kubo, helped us to find some of the hard-to-find creatures in Ishigaki Island and told us about their ecology in detail, If I had seen the starry sky on my own, I would have just thought the stars were beautiful, but he explained the constellations and stars to me in detail and I thought the tour was worth the price. I wish there was a little less cloud cover, but that's just luck. I wish there was a little less cloud cover, but that's just luck. I will book the same tour again when I go back!

We joined the tour as a couple. We stayed in Husaki, and they picked us up and dropped us off in front of our hotel both going and returning. In the night tour, we were thrilled to go into the bushes where we wondered if we were going to go through such a place. The guide, Mr. Arai, gave us easy-to-understand explanations with such care that we could tell he must be fond of Iriomote's creatures, and it was fun to see many coconut crabs. Above all, the guide, Mr. Arai, seemed to be enjoying himself. LOL! My husband and I were both afraid of insects, but we were so absorbed in exploring that we didn't care anymore. We were so impressed that we were able to see the Milky Way and the stars for the first time during the starry sky tour that followed. They laid out a starry sky mat and I will never forget the view I saw while lying on it. I think I was able to see the view because of the activities to protect the starry sky that the whole Ishigaki Island is doing, so I will continue to support them! The tour was only 2 hours long, but it was a valuable experience, thank you very much. If I have a chance to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would like to participate.

My girlfriend and I took the tour. The tour starts with meeting at the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, and after the meeting, we were taken by the guide's car to the spot where the night tour was held. The tour was fun from start to finish, and the guide kept the conversation lively throughout the car ride. At the spot, there were many Okinawan-like creatures such as hermit crabs, and it was a great experience. I will always remember the exciting adventure of entering the jungle. When we finished looking for creatures, we looked up at the sky and saw a star-filled sky. I was again impressed by the amount of stars I had never seen before. Thank you to our guide and everyone who organized the tour! We will be back again when we come to Ishigaki Island.
