I was worried about the weather as a typhoon was approaching, but my beloved dog also put his back legs in the canoe for the first time. By the time we returned, he was enjoying the wind on the canoe. Thanks to the guide's easy-to-understand explanations, I learned a lot and was happy to create wonderful memories with my dog! (It was worth bringing him on the plane.)台風が接近してきていたので天候が心配でしたが愛犬も初め後ろ足をカヌーに入れてましたが戻る頃にはカヌーの上で風を気持ち良さげにきり、ガイドさんの分かりやすい説明で物知りにもなれ、愛犬と共に素敵な想い出をつくれて嬉しかったです！(飛行機に乗せて連れて行った甲斐がありました)

Thank you for the wonderful experience. The gentle sway of the kayak was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed the flora and fauna of Okinawa, including the mangroves. Since I borrowed waterproof pants, I hardly got wet. My dog, who loves playing in the water, also had a great time. There was a little incident where my dog jumped into the river, but it was so much fun. I will definitely participate again.素敵な体験ありがとうございました。カヤックの心地よい揺れが印象的でした。マングローブなど沖縄の動植物を堪能させていただきました。防水ズボンを借りていたので、ほとんど濡れませんでした。水遊びが好きな愛犬も楽しんでいました。愛犬が川に飛び込むハプニングがありましたが、凄く楽しかったです。また、参加させていただきます。
