It was my first time doing SUP. At first, I was a bit wobbly and scared, but as I got used to it, it became really fun, and the scenery around me was so mystical and breathtaking, unlike anything I had ever seen before. The guide's explanations were interesting and easy to understand, so I listened with great interest.
I had only seen limestone caves on TV, so I was incredibly excited when I saw one for the first time. The plants were all things I had never seen before, making for a wonderful experience.
I was also thrilled to discover that there was an island like Balas in Japan! I was very excited and moved by it. If I have the chance, I would love to visit Iriomote Island again!
初めてのSUPでした。最初はグラグラして少し怖かったですが、だんだん慣れてくるとすごく楽しく、周りの風景も今まで見たことない感じですごく神秘的で感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も面白く、わかりやすい説明だったので興味津々で聞いてしまいました。
鍾乳洞もテレビでしか見てなかったので初めて見たときはものすごく興奮しました。植物も見たことないものばかりだったのでとてもいい体験ができました。
バラス島もこんな島が日本にあったんだ！っていう感じでとても興奮したし、感動もしました。また機会があれば西表島に行きたいです！！

I experienced SUP for the first time. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the guide taught me patiently, so I was able to enjoy it! I think anyone can have fun, even if it's their first time! I want to do SUP again. It was great that the guide also explained about the mangroves and Iriomote Island. The waterfall was amazing too! I was able to feel the great nature, away from my usual daily life. Balas Island is also very beautiful. I was impressed by the two islands made of coral. I enjoyed the entire experience while listening to the guide's explanations. I definitely want to use this service again when I come back.
初めてsupを体験しました。初めてだったので不安でしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しむことができました！初めてでも誰でも楽しめると思います！またsupやりたいです。マングローブの説明など西表島のことも教えてくれて良かったです。滝もすごかったです！いつもの日常から離れた、大自然を感じることができました。バラス島もとても綺麗です。サンゴでできた世界に２つの島に感動しました。終始ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら、楽しむことができました。また来た時は是非利用したいです。

I came to Iriomote Island for a resort job, and while I've been to quite a few places on my own, there were still many things I hadn't done, so I joined this tour. I leisurely paddled through the mangrove forest on a stand-up paddleboard, and then we went trekking to a waterfall. It was smaller than I had imagined, but I was able to splash around in the water, which was fun. After that, we visited a limestone cave with no pavement or anything, experiencing nature in its raw form. After lunch, we took photos on a beautiful island made entirely of coral, and I brought back a small piece of coral as a souvenir for a chopstick rest. I had a truly valuable experience and I'm very satisfied. I would love to do it again when my friends come to visit.
西表島にリゾートバイトで来ていて
一人で行けるところにはある程度行ったのですが、まだまだやれてないことが沢山あったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
マングローブ林の中をゆったりとSUPに乗ってそのあとトレッキングをして、滝まで行きました。想像していたものよりを小さかったけど、滝で水浴びをしたり出来たので、おろしろかったです。そのあと舗装も何もない鍾乳洞に行ってありのままの自然を体感しました。昼食後はすごく綺麗なサンゴだけで出来た島で写真を撮って、記念に箸置き用の小さなサンゴを持って帰りました。
なかなか貴重な体験ができて大満足してます
友達が遊びき来たらもう一度体験したいと思います。

It was an amazing kayaking experience guide by our guide, Risa. The weather was a little gloomy but it created a beautiful mountain view shrouded by the mist. We also kayak along the River Chitose that was quiet and calm, allowing us to be close to nature. The highlight was when we spotted 4 huge blue carps in the river swimming under our kayaks. Most importantly, the tour was perfect because of our guide, Risa. Risa was friendly, relaxed, and was adept at striking good, pleasant conversations. Overall, I highly recommend anyone who is dropping by this lake to take this tour.
I was laughing all day long! Of course, the activities themselves were fun, but I was impressed by the guide's speaking skills. Relaxing with beautiful nature and a fun guide! It was a tour that makes me want to come back.
1日中ずっと笑わせていただきました！
もちろんアクティビティ自体も楽しかったのですが、ガイドさんのトーク力に感心しました。美しい自然と楽しいガイドさんでリラックス！
またきたいと思えるツアーでした

I booked this plan to fully enjoy nature in a day and experience various tours. I was a bit anxious because I wasn't very confident in my physical stamina, but it turned out to be fulfilling without being overly exhausting! During the first stand-up paddleboarding tour, I was able to enjoy the mangrove forest, and in the next cave tour, I experienced the mystical scenery.
On the landing tour to the coral island of Barasu Island in the afternoon, I was grateful for all the photos taken! I was very satisfied with the guide's extensive knowledge and careful guidance, and of course, I was able to leave with great satisfaction from the natural beauty of Iriomote Island. Thank you very much!!
日帰りで大自然を満喫したく、1日に色んなツアーを体験できるこちらのプランに予約しました。
体力にはあまり自信がなかったので不安だったのですが、疲れすぎず、充実感のある内容でした！最初のsupボードのツアーではマングローブの森を堪能でき、その次に鍾乳洞のツアーでは神秘的な景色を堪能できました。
午後からのサンゴの島バラス島への上陸ツアーではたくさん写真を撮っていただき、ありがたかったです！
ガイドの方の知識の豊富さと丁寧な案内、もちろんのこと西表島の大自然には大満足で帰ることができました。ありがとうございました！！

At first, I was feeling a bit down because of the rain, but the guide who took care of us was so cheerful that I ended up having an amazing time. Choosing the plan that allowed us to do three tours in one day was definitely the right decision!
雨で最初はテンション下がり気味でしたが、担当して下さったガイドさんが、笑顔でツアーをしてくれるのでテンション下がり気味だったのが、めっちゃめっちゃ楽しんでしまいました。
ツアーも1日に3つもできるプランを選んで正解でした！

The best course for playing from morning to evening! The plan that includes mangroves, a limestone cave, and landing on Barasu Island is not offered by other shops, allowing us to fully enjoy Iriomote Island. Since we did three tours, I was worried about my physical stamina, but even someone like me who doesn't usually exercise was able to have a great time.
朝から夕方まで遊ぶには最高のコース！
マングローブに鍾乳洞とバラス島の上陸の３つもできるプランは他のショップさんにはなく西表島を満喫する事が出来ました。
３つのツアーをするので体力的心配しましが、普段運動しない私でも楽しむ事が出来ました。

I came to Ishigaki for the first time. I wanted to explore the surrounding islands, so I went to Iriomote Island. I heard that Iriomote Island is rich in nature and is called the "Galapagos of the East," so I signed up for a tour to experience nature.
There, I went to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), visited a limestone cave, and went to Barasu Island, which is made up of a few corals. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time doing SUP, but the guide taught me patiently, so I was able to do it well. Even though my friends pushed me in, playing surrounded by nature that I don't usually see became a great memory. In the limestone cave, I could experience the untouched nature, and at Barasu Island, I was able to see sea turtles from above, which was really wonderful. I plan to come again. Thank you!
初めて石垣旅行に来ました。離島巡りもしたかったので西表島に行きました。西表島は東洋のガラパゴスと呼ばれるくらい自然が豊かなところだと聞いたので、
自然が体感できるツアーに申し込みました。
そこでSUPと鍾乳洞、そして数少ないサンゴで、できたバラス島に行きました。
SUPは初めてだったので不安もあったけど
ガイドの方に丁寧に教えてくださったので上手くできました。友達に落とされたりしたけど普段見ない自然に囲まれて遊んだことは、いい思い出になりました。鍾乳洞では舗装がなされていないありのままの自然が体感でき、バラス島では上からウミガメが見れたりしてとても良かったです。また来ようと思いますありがとうございました。

I was taken care of all day by Pipisan. I truly made the best memories. Among them, I was so moved by the contrast of the beautiful sea and coral fragments at Balas Island that I felt like crying. I didn't do much, but I was able to relax and take it easy there. It was also helpful that I was taken to the port at the end of the tour. Thank you very much.
ピピさんでは一日中お世話になりました。本当に最高の思い出ができました。
中でもバラス島は美しい海とサンゴのかけらのコントラストに涙が出そうになるくらい感動しました。何をするでもないですが、そこでのんびりしたり、まったりしたりリラックスできました。ツアーの最後に港まで送っていただけたのも助かりました。ありがとうございます。

My first trip to Eastern Hokkaido with my mother. To fulfill our wish of "wanting to ride a canoe in the Kushiro Wetlands," we deliberately planned an individual trip instead of a group tour with a travel agency.
The conditions for the canoe tour were twofold: "to be able to ride the canoe for as long as possible on a basic tour course" and "to have pick-up available near Kushiro Station since we wouldn't be driving." Based on these conditions, we applied to Healing Canoe Kushiro.
On the day of the tour, it was an unusually hot day for Hokkaido, but it was sunny with light winds, which I think were good conditions for canoeing. The refreshing sound of the water, the breeze crossing the surface, and the various bird calls from afar and nearby were all very pleasant.
I felt so relaxed and healed that I wanted to just drift along... Our guide, Mr. Ichinose, a local from Kushiro, was very attentive and fun, allowing us to feel safe and comfortable. I definitely want to visit again during this beautiful fresh green season and experience the different expressions of other seasons.
母と訪れる初めての道東。
「釧路湿原でカヌーに乗りたい！」という希望を叶えるため、旅行会社の団体旅行ではなく敢えて個人旅行を計画しました。
カヌーツアーの条件は「ベーシックなツアーコースで出来るだけ長時間カヌーに乗っていられること」と「車を運転しないので釧路駅近辺の送迎が可能なこと」の2点。
この条件にかなって今回ヒーリングカヌー釧路さんに申し込みました。
当日は北海道にはあり得ないほどの暑い日でしたが晴れて風も弱く、カヌーには良い条件だったと思います。涼やかな水の音、水面を渡ってくる風、遠くから近くから聞こえる様々な鳥の声など、とても心地良かったです。
このまま漂っていたい…と思うくらいリラックスして癒されました。
釧路っ子のガイド、一戸さんのアテンドはとても丁寧で楽しく、安心してお任せすることができました。
ぜひまた新緑の美しいこの時期、そして表情を変えた他の季節も訪れたいと思います。
Dear Akko,
Thank you for participating in the Healing Canoe Kushiro canoe tour. It was a tour held in unusual heat for August, but I hope you were able to leisurely enjoy the tranquility of the Kushiro Wetlands.
Please do come back to visit the Kushiro Wetlands again. Thank you very much.

I participated in a tour that included mangrove stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), exploring a limestone cave, and landing on Balas Island.
The other guests were also first-timers at SUP, but they were able to stand up, so it might be okay even if you don't have much time for exercise (^｡^).
The limestone cave trek was also a serious adventure and fantastic!
It was a full day packed with activities!
マングローブSUPと鍾乳洞の探検、バラス島の上陸のツアーに参加しました。
私以外のお客さんもSUPは初めてでも立てていたので、運動に時間がなくても大丈夫かもです(^｡^)
鍾乳洞も本格的なトレッキングで最高！

It was the best day ever. Since it was after the heavy rain on May 18, I was worried about whether the activities would go ahead, but thanks to our guide's arrangements, we were able to enjoy both river kayaking and canyoning.
During the river kayaking, we leisurely paddled upstream on the Anbo River while our guide shared stories about Yakushima's nature, and we had coffee and lunch on a sandbank. In the afternoon's canyoning, we aimed for a waterfall while climbing rocks, swimming in the river, and sometimes jumping into the river, all in a slightly high-water canyon. It was a thrilling adventure that was absolutely exhilarating.
Our guide was really reliable, taking into account not only our physical fitness and athletic ability but also how to enjoy nature. My wife, in particular, is not a strong swimmer and was quite nervous about getting into the water, but by the second half of the canyoning, she was saying, "This is so fun!" while letting herself be carried away by the strong current.
On the way back, we stopped by a hot spring to warm up our chilled bodies and relaxed in the slightly hot water. Finally, we were introduced to a restaurant where we could savor Yakushima cuisine.
Overall, it was a day filled with enjoyment in Yakushima.
最高の一日でした。5/18の豪雨の後でしたので催行が心配でしたが、ガイドさんの計らいによりリバーカヤックもキャニオニングも楽しめました。
リバーカヤックでは、のんびりと安房川を溯上しながら屋久島の自然を語ってもらい、中洲でコーヒー＆ランチタイム。午後のキャニオニングでは、少し水量の多い渓谷を岩をよじ登りながら、河を泳ぎながら、そして時には河に飛び込みながら滝を目指しました。スリルに満ちた冒険でドキドキ感が最高です。
そして、今回のガイドさんは私たちの体力や運動能力だけでなく、自然での楽しみ方まで配慮してくれて、本当に頼りになりました。特に家内は水泳は下手で、水に入るのがおっかなびっくりの性格でしたが、キャニオニングの後半では「おもしろーい、たのしいー」と言いながら、大きな流れに身を任せていました。
帰りには冷えた体を温めるために温泉に立ち寄り、ちょっと熱めのお湯でのんびり。最後には、屋久島料理を堪能できる食事処まで紹介して貰いました。
トータルで屋久島を楽しめた一日です。
Dear Inoshishi,
Thank you very much for participating in the River Kayak & Hidden Waterfall Tour the other day! After that heavy rain that made national news... I was worried about whether we could proceed, but your spirits reached Yakushima! The streams in Yakushima can rise quickly, but they return to normal in just a couple of days. They bounce back fast, don't they? (laughs)
When you come back here, I would love to show you a different side of Yakushima. Please let’s enjoy it together! I truly appreciate your kind feedback. Thank you once again!
いのしし様
先日はリバーカヤック＆秘境の滝ツアーへのご参加、心よりありがとうございました！
全国ニュースで流れたあの豪雨の後…。催行が心配でしたが、お二人の気持ちが屋久島に届きましたね！
屋久島の沢はあっという間に増水しますが、２～３日したらケロッと元に戻っています。
立ち直りが早いんですね（笑）
またこちらにいらした際は、また違った屋久島をご案内致します。
是非ご一緒させてくださいね。
嬉しいご感想も頂き、本当にありがとうございました。

Previously, when I visited Ishigaki Island, I unfortunately couldn't go to Iriomote Island due to the weather, so this time I participated in the long-awaited kayak tour on Iriomote Island.
There are several tour companies offering kayak tours on Iriomote Island, but I chose this course for four reasons.
1. "You can experience both the Pinaisara Waterfall basin and the top of the waterfall."
→ Surprisingly, many courses only offer one or the other. But if I'm going, I wanted to experience the negative ions at the basin and the stunning views from the top!
2. "All necessary items like shoes and backpacks can be rented."
→ If I were to bring beach and diving gear, along with stylish clothes like dresses, it would become quite a burden to carry kayak and trekking equipment as well. Since I don't own many of these items, being able to rent everything on-site is super convenient! All I needed to bring were a change of clothes, a towel, and some money!
3. "Services like showers and luggage management are well-equipped."
→ I want to experience nature, but I'm not used to the inconveniences of the outdoors. So, having shower and luggage management services was very reassuring!
4. "The reviews were good."
→ Since this could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I didn't want to make a mistake with the tour company! Therefore, I felt very secure with the number of reviews and the high ratings!
These four points were important when I applied, but what I appreciated most during the actual participation were:
1. "The guides were kind, funny, and amazing!"
→ There were three guides for our group of eight, and they were always friendly, engaging with all participants, which created a warm atmosphere where everyone could enjoy together, even those meeting for the first time.
2. "The facilities and rental items were very clean."
→ Many outdoor facilities can lack cleanliness, but both the showers and the facilities were kept very clean. I had no hesitation wearing the rental shoes, backpack, and life jacket.
3. "There were many international guests, and the international atmosphere was refreshing."
→ I was surprised that five out of the eight participants were from abroad. I didn't expect to interact with foreigners in Okinawa, but it was very enjoyable to chat during the tour. Additionally, the guides spoke English, actively engaging with everyone and creating an atmosphere where everyone could have fun regardless of nationality.
4. "They took lots of photos, and I received the data on-site after the tour."
→ I didn't have a waterproof camera, and during kayaking and trekking, I was too focused to take many photos, so I was grateful that the guides took many pictures. The dive photos at the waterfall basin were especially memorable! I was also very happy to receive the data on my phone right after the tour.
5. "The handmade Yaeyama soba and sweets were exquisite."
→ At the top of the waterfall, we enjoyed hot Yaeyama soba, and at the basin, we had handmade Okinawan sweets. Both were incredibly delicious and revitalized my tired body!
I know this is a long review, but for those considering a tour on Iriomote Island, I believe you will be very satisfied not only with the content of the tour but also with the quality of the tour and the hospitality of the guides.
I personally look forward to participating again!
以前、石垣島を訪れた際、あいにくの天気で西表島には行けず、今回念願の西表島のカヤックツアーに参加させていただきました。
西表島のカヤックツアーを提供しているツアー会社はいくつかありますが、
今回このコースを選択した理由としては、4つあります。
1. 「ピナイサーラの滝つぼ＆滝うえのどちらも体験できること」
→意外と滝つぼ・滝うえどちらか一方のコースが多い。
でも、せっかく行くなら滝つぼのマイナスイオンと、滝うえの絶景を体験したかった！
2. 「シューズやリュック等の必要品は全てレンタルできること」
→石垣島でビーチやダイビングの体験や、ワンピース等のおしゃれ着もとなると、カヤック＆トレッキング用品も持っていくとなると大荷物になっちゃう。。
そもそも持っていないものも多いので、必要品が全て現地でレンタルできるのは、とっても便利！持っていくものは、「着替え・タオル・お金」くらい！
3. 「シャワーや荷物管理等のサービスも充実していること」
→大自然を体験したいけど、自然の不便さには慣れていない。。
となると、シャワーや荷物管理サービスはとっても安心！
4. 「口コミがよかったこと」
→もしかしたら一生に一度の体験になるかもしれないので、ツアー会社で失敗はしたくない！
なので、口コミ件数や高評価な内容にとっても安心！
以上4点は、申し込み時のポイントですが、
実際に参加をしてよかった点は、
1. 「ガイドさんが優しくて面白くて最高！」
→8名のグループに対して3名のガイドさんがついてくれたのですが、終始優しくて、参加者全員に対して話しかけてくれたので、初めまして同志の参加者も、和やかな雰囲気で全員で楽しむことができました。
2. 「設備やレンタル品がとても清潔」
→アウトドア関連の設備は清潔感に期待できないところが少なくないですが、シャワーも施設内もとても清潔に保たれていました。
また、レンタル品のシューズやリュック、ライフガード？等も全く抵抗なく着用することができました。
3. 「外国からのお客さんが多く、インターナショナルな雰囲気が新鮮」
→参加者8名中5名が外国からのお客様だったのが、とても意外でした。
沖縄で外国籍の方との交流ができるとは思っていませんでしたが、ツアー中にお話しができたり、とても楽しかったです。また、ガイドさんも英語ができるので、積極的にお話されて、国籍に関わらずみんなが楽しめる雰囲気を作ってくださった姿に感心しました。
4. 「写真もたくさん撮ってくれ、ツアー終了後にその場でデータをもらえる」
→防水カメラを持っておらず、またカヤック中やトレッキング中は割と必死で写真を撮ることはできなかったのですが、ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれてありがたかったです。特に、滝つぼへのダイブ写真は記念になりました！
ツアー終了後、すぐに携帯にデータを転送していただけるのも、とても嬉しかったです。
5. 「手作り八重山そばとスイーツが絶品」
→滝うえでは、熱々の八重山そば、滝つぼでは手作り沖縄スイーツをいただきました。どちらも大変美味しく、疲れた体に染みわたりました！
長くなりましたが、西表島のツアーを検討している方には、
ツアーの内容のみではなく、ツアーのクオリティーやガイドさんのホスピタリティーにも大変満足されると思います。
私自身、また参加できることを心待ちにしています♪
Dear Yumi-san,
Thank you for participating in the windmill tour the other day. I also appreciate your kind review and positive feedback.
I am very pleased that you chose us after considering various shops and that you were satisfied with your experience. While maintaining rental items and shower facilities can be quite challenging, it is also important for the guides to manage their own health and motivation when welcoming customers. The smiles of our customers and warm messages like yours truly help us in this regard.
I believe that the enjoyable tour we had with the group of eight, who were meeting for the first time, was made possible not just by the guide's efforts but also thanks to customers like you, Yumi-san.
Currently, the rainy season in Iriomote Island is nearing its end, and summer is just around the corner. This island has many other beautiful and enjoyable natural spots besides the Pinaisara Falls. Please do come back to visit us again someday!
yumi-san様
先日は風車のツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
また丁寧なレビュー良い評価をいただき感謝しています。
事前に様々なショップを検討したうえで選んでいただけたこと、参加したうえで満足していただけたこと大変うれしく思います。
レンタル品やシャワー室などの手入れなども大変ですが、お客様を迎え入れるにあたってのガイド自身の体調管理やモチベーションを保つのも実は大変です。
それを助けてくれるのがお客様の笑顔やこういったレビューや温かいメッセージです。
はじめて出会った人同士の8人グループが楽しいツアーを行えたのはガイドの力だけではなくyumo-san様含めたお客様のおかげだと思っています。
現在西表島は梅雨も終盤に入っていてもうすぐ夏が来ます。
この島にはピナイサーラの滝以外にも楽しい美しい自然がたくさんあります。
ぜひいつかまた遊びに来てください！！

We participated in an early morning canoe trip as a couple. When we stayed in Kushiro before, we only admired the view from the observation deck, so I thought we definitely had to try the canoe tour next time!
It was a beautiful sunny day, and we enjoyed a cherry blossom canoe experience with the Ezo Yamazakura in full bloom. We left the operation to Mr. Ichinose. It's also nice to paddle by yourself, as he will follow you. You can leisurely observe the untouched nature of the Kushiro Wetlands and the wildlife.
We love birds, and we were thrilled to encounter species like the Japanese crane, white-tailed eagle, and great spotted woodpecker.
If you come to Kushiro, I highly recommend participating in a canoe tour. There are so many attractions. I also plan to join a winter canoe tour next time. Thank you very much!
早朝カヌーに夫婦で参加しました。以前に釧路滞在した時は、展望台から眺めるのみだったので次回は絶対にカヌーツアーをやろう！と思っていました。
この日は快晴でちょうどエゾヤマザクラが満開のお花見カヌーとなりました。操作は一戸さんにおまかせです。自分で漕いでみるのも良いですよ、フォローしてくれます。釧路湿原の手付かずの自然と、野性動物たちをゆったりと観察することができます。
私たちは鳥が好きで、タンチョウ・オジロワシ・アカゲラなどに出会えることができ、感動しました。
釧路に来られる方は是非カヌーツアーに参加してみてください。魅力がいっぱいあります。
また次回は冬のカヌーツアーに参加しようと思います。どうもありがとうございました。
Thank you for your post, Sayayan.
I’m really glad we were able to encounter many wild birds, especially the symbol of the wetlands, the Japanese crane.
Please do come and visit the Kushiro Wetlands in winter.
Thank you.

I wanted to challenge myself with the Pinai Sara Falls, so I made a reservation, prepared for the Golden Week crowds.
The weather forecast for the day before was rain, but it was sunny all day, allowing us to enjoy canoeing and trekking in a very calm atmosphere! I heard that sunny days are quite rare on Iriomote Island, so I was told we were lucky!
There were over ten participants, and three guides shared the responsibilities.
What impressed me the most throughout the day was the strong teamwork among the guides! All three guides were very kind, teaching us various things and making us laugh. It was clear they got along well, and even though we were divided into teams, I felt no anxiety and was able to enjoy myself with any of the guides!
Personally, I was touched by how one of the guides encouraged a little boy who looked anxious, asking him, "Have you ever been in a canoe?" and reassuring him, "Then you'll be fine! You're strong!" Such thoughtful care.
In reality, even for those who aren't small children, the trekking path was quite steep, and as someone who doesn't usually experience this, I found myself panting and struggling at times (laughs). However, the guides adjusted their pace to help us, which was a relief.
When we finally arrived at the top of the falls, the view was truly magnificent!
And the handmade Yaeyama soba we had there was exquisite! (It was the best Yaeyama soba I had on Iriomote and Ishigaki!) Plus, the cute Shisa-shaped kamaboko was a delightful touch. I can recommend this alone, but then we had to overcome more steep paths to reach the swimming area at the base of the falls, which was an absolute thrill. Personally, I found the view from the base of the falls even more stunning than from the top, so for those who are anxious about trekking, I think you can enjoy the swimming area just fine.
Canoeing was easier than I expected, and I was able to paddle at a leisurely pace. (I had no muscle soreness in my arms the next day, haha.) I never thought it would feel so good to glide through the mangroves!
The tour lasted from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I was a bit tired, but I believe it was a tour packed with the charm of Iriomote Island. If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend it.
Thank you for a truly enjoyable day!
One concern I would like to mention is that although the tour proceeds rain or shine, I felt that trekking would be quite difficult in the rain. (This is just my opinion as someone who doesn't usually trek, so I think experienced trekkers would be fine.) There were quite a few rocky areas where I wondered, "Where should I grab?" So, depending on the weather, it might be better not to push yourself too hard.
The facilities were new and clean, with both toilets and showers! There are also secure lockers for valuables, which made me feel very safe.
ピナイサーラの滝に挑戦したく、GW混雑覚悟で予約。
前日の天気は雨予報でしたが、当日は終始晴れていてとても穏やかにカヌーもトラッキングもできました！
(聞くところ、西表島は終日晴れの日がとても少ないらしく、運が良かったですねーと言ってもらいました！)
参加者は10名以上いて、3名のガイドさんで分担して担当してくれました。
１日ご一緒して、一番心強かったのがガイドさん同士の連携強さ！
3名のガイドさん皆様とても親切で、色々なことを教えてくれたり、笑わせてくれたりはもちろん、とても仲が良いのが伝わってきて、チーム分担されても、どのガイドさんについても、不安なく楽しむことができました！
個人的には小さい男の子が、不安そうにしているのを、ずっと「カヌー乗ったことある？」「それじゃあ大丈夫だ！強いね！」と励ましていたのが印象的でした。素敵な心遣いです。
実際、小さい子でなくても、トレッキングはなかなか険しい山道なので、(普段経験のない私は)ぜえぜえはあはあ、きつい！と音を上げそうになる場面もありましたが(笑)ガイドのお兄さんたちが、ペースに合わせてくれるので、助かりました。
足が笑ってきたくらいに、到着する滝上からの景色は本当に素晴らしい！！
そして、そこで食べる、手作り八重山蕎麦、絶品！(西表島と石垣で食べた八重山蕎麦の中で一番美味しかった！)(あとシーサーのかまぼこ可愛い癒し)これだけでもおススメできますが、
そのあと、また険しい道を乗り越えて乗り越えて、辿り着く、滝壺で泳ぎまくるのが快感すぎました。
個人的には滝上からより、滝壺からの景色が素晴らしすぎたので、トレッキングが不安な方は滝壺だけでも充分に楽しめるかと思います。
カヌーは思ったより難しくなくて、ゆったりした気持ちで漕げました。(翌日腕の筋肉痛等もなし笑)
マングローブの中を悠々自適に進むのが、あんな気持ち良いとは思いませんでした！
9:00-16:00と、かなり長時間のツアーなので、疲労は多少ありますが、西表島の魅力が詰まったツアーだったと思います。
迷っている方がいたら、是非おすすめしたいです。
本当に楽しい１日をありがとうございました！
一つだけ、懸念点をお伝えすると、
雨天決行とのことですが、雨だとかなりトレッキングは難しそうだなーと感じました。
(普段、トレッキング経験がない素人の意見ですので、慣れている方は問題ないと思います)
結構な、岩とか、どこ掴めばいいの！？みたいな場所もあったので、、天気によって無理はしない方が良いかとも思います。
施設は、トイレもシャワーも新しくきれいでした！
貴重品を預けられる鍵付き小物ロッカーもあるので、大変安心です。
Dear mytine,
Thank you for participating in our GW tour. We are very pleased that you provided such a detailed review of our "strengths." One of our strengths, "collaboration among guides," is something we work on every day through trial and error. We constantly think about how to ensure that participants enjoy themselves even during busy periods like GW. Especially since GW is one of the busiest times of the year and coincides with the onset of the rainy season, the weather can be very unpredictable.
Fortunately, we didn't have to worry about the weather this time, but as you mentioned, we pay special attention to conducting tours in rainy conditions. The experience of walking on mountain paths in the rain can vary greatly depending on the participants' ages, experiences, and physical conditions on the day of the tour. During such times, we adjust group divisions through collaboration among guides to ensure a comfortable tour, but our staff still has much to learn.
When you visit Iriomote Island again, we hope to provide an even more enjoyable tour. Please look forward to it. Thank you for the wonderful review.

GWのツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。当店の「強み」まで詳しくレビューをしていただき、とても嬉しいです。
その当店の強みである、「ガイド同士の連携」ですが、試行錯誤の毎日です。どうすればGWのような繁忙期でも参加者の皆さまに楽しんで頂けるのか。特に一年で一番の繁忙期でもあるGWは梅雨入り前後ということもあり、天候がとても不安定です。
今回は幸い、天気の心配はなかったものの、mytineさまが心配されているように、雨天時のツアー開催には特に気を遣います。
参加者の年齢や経験、そしてツアー当日の体調などにより、同じ雨の中で山道を歩くのも感じ方が変わってきます。その時にガイド同士の連携で、グループわけを変更したりしながら無理のないツアー開催をするようにしているのですが、まだまだスタッフ一同、勉強することが多いです。
mytineさまが次に西表島に来られた時はさらに楽しめるツアーにしたいと思います。どうぞお楽しみに。素晴らしいレビューをいただきありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of five, and the guide was very kind and accommodating, which made my parents very satisfied! Next, we would like to try snorkeling!
家族5人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんがとても親切に色々対応してくれて両親も大満足でした！次はシュノーケリング参加したいと思います！

Our guide Mr. Jumbo was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was our first time to have kayak in Hokkaido. We learned a lot from Mr. Jumbo. He taught us how to appreciate the beauty of nature, and he even let us have a taste of the green onion leaves near the river side. It’s a wonderful experience that I’ll recommend for people going to 支芴湖！
Hi!
I'm glad I could tour together!
It was nice to have a fun tour.
JUMBO was also feeling fun!
Please come again, and let's kayaking!

Since the starting point is a shallow river with a depth of only up to my knees, I was able to enjoy canoeing with my child without any worries.
膝までの深さしかない浅い川からのスタートですので、子どもと一緒でも安心してカヌーを楽しむことが出来ました。

I'm glad I could paddle happily with him! The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and we were able to enjoy it slowly! It was a tour where we could leisurely watch the sunset instead of a noisy, chaotic one! The shower facilities were also great!
彼と楽しく漕ぐことができてよかった！
夕日もめっちゃきれいに見れてゆっくり見れました！
ごちゃごちゃ騒いだツアーじゃなくてゆっくり夕日を眺めるツアーでした！
シャワー設備も良かった！
Dear Ayutaya,
Thank you for participating in our menu the other day. Every time we get to see a beautiful sunset, it lifts our spirits as well! It's best to enjoy it leisurely, just like in Miyakojima. Let's relax again in Miyakojima sometime (^ ^). All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you!
アユタヤ様
先日は、弊社メニューへご参加いただきありがとうございます。綺麗な夕日が見れた時は、毎回私たちもテンションが上がります笑。宮古島らしくゆったり眺めるのがベストですよね♪ また宮古島でのんびりしましょうね(^ ^) スタッフ一同、またのお越しの心よりお待ちしております。ありがとうございました！

My 6-year-old daughter has always been afraid of the ocean and has hardly ever put her feet in the water, insisting that she didn't want to try snorkeling. I thought we would end up waiting on the beach with one of the parents again this time, but thanks to the instructor who was very kind and attentive, my daughter was able to enter the water without fuss. Moreover, she was able to master the use of the snorkeling equipment and learned a lot about different types of fish and various ecological features, which sparked her interest in the ocean. The drone footage also captured some great videos and photos, creating wonderful memories for our family. We definitely want to do this again next time.
6歳の娘が、海が怖くて今までもほとんど海には足をつけたことがなく、シュノーケルも嫌だと言いはっていたので、今回も親のどちらかと浜辺で待機かなぁ〜と思いながらお願いしたのですが、担当してくださったインストラクターのお兄さんがとても丁寧に親切に接してくださったおかげで娘もグズらず海に入ることができました。その上シュノーケルの道具の使い方もしっかりマスターでき、お魚の種類やいろんな生態の特徴など、子供達はたくさん教えていただいて海に興味を持つことができました。ドローン撮影もとてもいい動画やお写真を撮っていただき、家族揃ってとても良い思い出ができました。又是非次回もお願いしたいと思います。

Initially, the sunset tour we had planned was canceled due to heavy rain, so we were able to switch to a morning tour the next day. It was my first experience kayaking, and I was nervous because I’m not very athletic, but I learned how to paddle and gradually got the hang of it while actually on the water. On that day, everyone was in two-person kayaks. We encountered many mangroves and heard fascinating stories about the ancient banyan trees, especially the tale of the Kijimuna (spirit), which was very intriguing. I was also very satisfied to see both the white heron and the black heron. Be prepared to get your backside wet! There are changing rooms available, and you can borrow non-slip sandals. We were also able to take photos at various spots.
当初、予定していたサンセットツアーは大雨のため中止になったため、翌日の午前中のツアーに変更していただくことができました。カヤック初体験しかも運動神経鈍いのでドキドキでしたが漕ぎ方を教わり実際に乗っているうちにコツもつかめました。当日は全員２人乗りカヤックでした。多くのマングローブや古いガジュマルの神秘的なお話など…特にキジムナ（精霊）のお話はとても興味深いものでした。シロサギ、クロサギにも出会えて大満足です。お尻がビショビショになります。更衣室もありますし、滑り止め付のサンダルもお借りできます。所々で写真も撮っていただけました。
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It seems you also enjoyed observing the creatures and plants, as well as the staff's explanations. I hope it becomes one of the great memories of your trip to Okinawa. Please come back and visit us again if you have the chance. Thank you for participating.
ツアー楽しんで頂けました様で嬉しいです。
生き物や植物の観察やスタッフの解説も楽しんで頂けたようですね。
沖縄旅行の良い思い出の一つになれば幸いです。
また機会がありましたら遊びに来てください。
ご参加ありがとうございました。

We progressed through the mangroves by canoe and then trekked to Pinai Sara Falls. Along the way, they provided explanations about the flora and fauna and took photos at various points. They even used a 360-degree camera, which was quite innovative. After enjoying handmade Yaeyama soba for lunch, we took a boat to Barasu Island, where we also took commemorative photos. After that, we snorkeled at a snorkeling point for as long as we wanted until time was up. The sea around Iriomote was beautifully adorned with coral, resembling a flower garden, and we even encountered sea turtles, which was incredibly fun.
マングローブをカヌーで進み、途中からトレッキングでピナイサーラの滝へ。
道中、動植物の解説を交えながら、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくれます。
360度撮れるカメラでも撮ってくれて、なかなか工夫がされています。
ご主人手作りの八重山そばでランチをした後は、バラス島まで船で行き、そこでも記念撮影。
後は、シュノーケリングポイントで時間が来るまで好きなだけシュノーケリング。西表の海はサンゴがお花畑のように美しくて、海ガメとも遭遇できてとっても楽しかったです。
Thank you very much. If you have the opportunity, please come again.
ありがとうございました。機会あればまたぜひお越し下さい。

The guide was very nice, and since it was a small group, it was easy to get guidance. I received photos that I wouldn't normally be able to take, such as drone shots, which made for a great experience.
ガイドさんがとてもいいかたでしたし、少人数だったのでガイドしてもらいやすかったです。
ドローン撮影など、普通に撮れない写真がもらえてとてもいい経験になりました。

I was worried about the weather, but I received detailed updates about the schedule two days prior and the day before, which allowed me to participate with peace of mind. Although I was concerned about the weather, I was able to experience canoeing, trekking, and playing in the waterfall basin, making it a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. I was worried that the children might get bored, but the interactions with the guide were fun, and we lost track of time while enjoying trekking, even singing the cheering songs for the Carp.
The Yaeyama soba at the top of the waterfall was delicious and was among the best meals of this trip. I would like to participate again under the sparkling sun and experience a different side of Yaeyama's nature. Thank you very much.
お天気が心配されましたが、前々日、前日とスケジュールについて細かく連絡があり、安心して参加することができました。お天気は心配でしたが、カヌーもトレッキングも滝つぼでの水遊びも体験でき、とても盛りだくさんで楽しいツアーでした。子どもたちが飽きてしまうのではと心配しましたが、ガイドさんとの掛け合いが楽しく、カープの応援歌なども歌いながら時間も忘れてトレッキングを楽しんでいました。
滝の上での八重山そばも美味しく、今回の旅行の食事で一二を争う美味しさでした。
今度はキラキラの太陽のもとで参加して、また違った八重山の自然を体験したいです。
ありがとうございました。
Dear Eppi,
Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. This year's Golden Week had unstable weather, but I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
Next time you visit, I believe your child will be able to play more actively. There are many points on Iriomote Island where you can have even more active fun, so look forward to it! Thank you again. I'm glad the Carp have bounced back in the latter half of Golden Week as well. (laughs)
Best regards,

先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。今年のＧＷは不安定な天候が続きましたが、楽しんで頂けたみたいで、とても嬉しいです。
次回、またお越しになられた際は、お子様はもっとアクティブに遊べるのではないかと思います。そして西表島にはよりアクティブに遊べるポイントがたくさんありますので、お楽しみに～。ありがとうございました。カープもＧＷ後半から立ち直ってよかったですね。笑

It was raining on the morning of the event. I hesitated about whether to participate, but I went to the meeting place and decided to join since it was a special opportunity.
By the time we were ready to start, the rain was pouring down. I wondered if it would be okay, but once I got on the kayak, the kids were super excited.
The guide was very attentive, and before I knew it, the tour was over. It would have been even better if it had been sunny, but it was still a very memorable tour. I would love to participate again when I visit Okinawa.
当日の朝は雨。参加しようか迷いながらも集合場所に行き、やはりせっかくだし参加する事に。
準備をしてはじまる頃には大粒の雨。大丈夫かな、、、と思いながらもカヤックに乗ってスタートしてみると、子供たちも大興奮。笑
ガイドさんの案内も丁寧であっという間に終わってしまいました。
晴れていたらもっと最高でしたが、それでもとても記念に残るツアーでした。
また沖縄に行った際には参加したいです。
Thank you for participating.
It was a rainy kayak experience, but it seems you enjoyed it.
There are good aspects to rain as well.
I believe it has become a wonderful memory.
Please join us again if you have the opportunity.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
雨カヤックでしたが、楽しめたようですね。
雨は雨で良い所もあるということです。
良い思い出になったことと思います。
また機会がありましたらご参加ください。

The long-awaited tour of Iriomote Island.
I participated from Ishigaki Island.
The tour company contacted me the day before and on the morning of the tour, which made me feel at ease.
It was great weather, and the tour was fantastic.
Our guide, Dai-chan, was very sensitive to the presence of animals, and I was thrilled to meet my favorite lizard.
While learning a lot about the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, I enjoyed trekking while feeling the sounds and scents of nature.
The fragrance of tropical plants energized me and blew away my fatigue.
I was healed by the Pinaisara Falls, and I had a very enjoyable time.
The guide's consideration for the participants, the rental of shoes and waterproof bags, and the shower facilities were all great.
I’m glad I participated in this tour.
Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island.
念願の西表島のツアー

Dear Takada Family,
Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. We appreciate your wonderful review. I hope you were able to refresh and return to your daily life rejuvenated by the nature of Iriomote Island.
Since you mentioned that you love wildlife, I recommend staying on Iriomote Island during the warmer months next time. Many of the creatures on Iriomote Island are nocturnal, and the night offers a chance to see animals that you can't see during the day, along with a beautifully starry sky. We hope you can visit us again someday.
Our guide, Dai-chan, will continue to study more about Iriomote Island and prepare to provide even better guidance in the future.
Thank you very much.

先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。素敵なレビューを頂きありがとうございます。
西表島の自然に癒されて、リフレッシュした状態で日常の生活に戻られたのではないでしょうか。
野生生物がお好きとのことですので、次回は暑い時期に西表島にご宿泊されることをおすすめします。西表島の生き物は夜行性のものが多く、夜の西表島では昼間では見れない生き物や、星空がとても美しいです。いつかぜひお越しください。
ガイドのダイちゃんもこれからもさらに西表島のことを勉強し、よりよいご案内ができるように準備をしていきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
