Participated in First Aid and Emergency Response Training and Legal Compliance Training Sessions

On June 16 and 17, I attended a training session for Taketomi Town tour guides.

Our company,Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi, ,Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi, ,Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPiWe operate these three locations, and each island has a large number of professional guides who hold first-aid certifications and the necessary licenses.

Since we’ve had a few new staff members join us in preparation for the busy season, we took the course again alongside our veteran staff.

While activities on the ocean or in rivers offer a wonderful sense of wonder that lets you forget your daily routine, they are always life-threatening.Living Side by Side with the Risk of Water AccidentsBut there is also.

Because these are outdoor activities that involve nature, you must never neglect to prepare for sudden changes in the weather or unexpected problems.

As professional guides, we are always keenly aware of these dangers and undergo extensive training—including first-aid courses—so that we can act without hesitation in the event of an emergency.

All of our guides hold water rescue certifications, and we regularly conduct safety training sessions led by certified instructors within the company.

Hello!
I'm Kimura, a local guide and writer for ADVENTURE PiPi.

Originally from Chiba Prefecture, I visited the remote islands of Okinawa many times while traveling. Captivated by the beautiful emerald-green sea, the majestic natural scenery, and the warmth of the islanders, I began working in the remote island areas of Okinawa.

Currently, as a staff member of ADVENTURE PiPi, I guide guests daily through the great outdoors of Okinawa—including Ishigaki Island, Miyako Island, and Iriomote Island—through activities such as canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling.

As a local guide who is in daily contact with the ocean and nature, I strive to share authentic, firsthand information—such as the ocean’s changing character throughout the seasons, recommended spots for each time of year, and how to choose tours that even non-swimmers can enjoy with peace of mind.

The perspective I had as a traveler who longed to visit Okinawa’s outlying islands, and the perspective I have now as a local guide observing those islands.

By drawing on both of these sources, we’ll provide clear and truly useful information for first-time visitors to Okinawa’s outlying islands.

"I'm nervous about my first trip to a remote island," "I don't know which beach to go to," "I want to choose a tour that's right for me."

We’ll answer those questions with all our heart, while sharing what’s happening right now on Ishigaki Island, Miyako Island, and Iriomote Island.
