Pumpkin Cave Tour - I participated in the Pumpkin Cave tour on October 29th. Kei, the tour guide, was very friendly and fun! The weather was good that day, and it was fun to go around in a kayak. The inside of the Pumpkin Cave was very mysterious, and when I heard the explanation, I understood how this cave was made, and it was interesting to learn about the history of Miyako. I was able to cleanse my body by splashing in the spring water inside the cave! Also, it was fun to jump from the top of the Pumpkin Cave on the way back!!

It was the best trip!!! - I went with a friend 🌟 It was November, but Miyakojima was very warm, so we still had plenty of time 👊 We took a canoe to the cave, and the scenery was great and it felt great!! After arriving, we explored the historic cave! We climbed the cliffs and at the end we jumped into the big pumpkin cave from above, which was a lot of fun! The guide was very kind and polite, and the safety measures were also good, so it was great! We naturally became friends with the other people who went with us, and in the end we went around the cave like a team ^_^ It was a wonderful tour where we could feel nature from early in the morning ✨Thank you very much 👏

Great memories‼️ - I went with a friend 🌴 The location on the way from the beach to the cave by canoe was also great, I was a little worried when we arrived at the cave, but the instructor guided us safely ✨ The inside of the cave was mysterious, and I was very impressed with the history and culture we learned about ✨ Even beginners like us were able to enjoy it, while enjoying the canoeing and cave, we took lots of photos and videos with GoPro, and it became a great memory 🌺If you haven't been yet, please go‼ ️I recommend it 🙆‍♀️🎃

Fantastic Afternoon - We had an amazing time! Guide was fantastic. We recommend this to anyone, almost any age, at any skill level. Our group had a couple who had never kayaked before and they had a great time too. Your bum will get wet just like they warn you.

Limestone “pumpkin” cave tour! - A great time and adventure exploring the limestone “pumpkin” caves of Miyakojima island (located off of Boraga Beach). To get there, one would need to kayak (guided) to a cave opening along the coast ~10 minutes away. The cave is amazing! Lots of history and features to see, including traversing limestone walls, dipping into limestone pools, peering at “bacon” limestone stalactite, and diving off of a ledge (maybe ~15ft high). Note that the meeting place is in a gravel parking lot, about ~5min away from Boraga Beach). I did the tour through Adventure PiPi (did short notice, very accommodating). I did the tour with Yamamoto-San, who (like many of his peers) do not speak fluent English, but he was caring enough to help lead the tour in other ways. The waters to kayak through were fairly shallow, yet the tour company outfits you completely with water shoes and life vest (you can literally float around and take photos, like I did). Would do so again if I ever get to visit again!

Amazing experience and wonderful guide!!! - We loved our experience in the “pumpkin caving” and kayaking trip! The guide was super kind and helpful and showed us very cool aspects of the cave. The cave itself was beautiful and unique and we were able to explore, climb, swim, and jump in it. The company provided all that we needed to participate in the experience. Definitely would recommend this adventure.
