Entering the forests of Yanbaru, I was able to observe creatures like snails with beautiful shell colors, stick insects camouflaged on trees, and geckos playing in the water. I also experienced the joy of picking acorns and eating shikuwasa, feeling like a child again.
On the day of the visit, I was worried about the rain, but they lent us rain gear and umbrellas, allowing us to explore nature without getting too wet.
The guide was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot.
I participated in sneakers, but the ground was muddy due to the rain, so my shoes got dirty. It would be better to have a different pair of shoes (they don't have to be trekking shoes) to stay comfortable after the activities.
やんばるの森に入り、きれいな殻の色のかたつむりや木に擬態しているナナフシ、水遊びするヤモリなどの生物を観察したり、ドングリを拾い、シークワーサーを食べるという子供に戻ったような体験もできます。
当日は雨で心配しましたが、雨具や傘を貸していただき、ほとんど濡れずに自然散策できました。
案内人はとても知識が豊富で、勉強になりました。
スニーカーで参加しましたが、雨で地盤がぬかるんでいたので、泥が付いてしまいました。普段使いとは別の靴(トレッキングシューズでなくても大丈夫です)があったほうが、アクティビティ参加後も快適に過ごせます。

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the northern area, which is a bit far to drive to on our own. Although the stay at each destination was short, we were able to visit the mangroves, Cape Hedo, the Oishi Rock Forest, and the Okinawa Rail, and truly appreciate the nature of the Yambaru region. The trekking portion had ample time, allowing us to visit several power spots. The lunch was delicious, with plenty of fish, and the portions were sufficient to satisfy even the hungry middle and high school boys.
自分で運転していくには少し遠い北部を満喫できるツアーでした。一つ一つの目的地の滞在時間は短かったですが、マングローブも辺戸岬も大石林山もヤンバルクイナも見学でき、山原の自然を堪能することができました。トレッキングは時間も十分とってくださっていたので、パワースポットを十分巡ることができました。お昼ごはんは魚も美味しく、量も十分で食べ盛りの中高生男子も大満足でした。

I chose this tour because I wanted to experience Yanbaru National Park. The Oishi Forest Mountain has well-maintained trekking routes that are easy to walk. There are three types of trekking courses, but since time was limited, I only walked one course for 30 minutes.
I wish there had been a bit more time for free exploration in both Oishi Forest Mountain and the mangrove forest.
For lunch, we had a set meal with sashimi and grilled fish. Since we had some extra time, I strolled around the nearby beach.
There were many people participating alone, so we enjoyed taking pictures of each other, which was fun.
やんばる国立公園に生きたかったのでこのツアーを選びました。大石林山はトレッキングルートが整備されていて、歩きやすいです。トレッキングコースが3種類ありますが、時間が限られていたので30分の1コースだけ歩きました。
大石林山とマングローブの林では、もう少し長く自由散策の時間があればよかったと思います。
ランチはお刺身と焼き魚のついた定食でした。時間が余ったので近くの浜辺を散策しました。
お一人様で参加している人が多かったので、お互いに写真を取り合ったりして、楽しかったです。

If the tour had been a day earlier, there would have been a 2,000 yen discount and a 2,000 yen coupon, but due to scheduling issues, I ended up participating in a 12,000 yen tour feeling like I lost out.
I was surprised to find the bus already arrived at the meeting place 10 minutes before the gathering time.
1. The tour guide told us to fasten our seatbelts for safety while standing and talking, which I found to be an unacceptable attitude. It would have been better if they had sat down and talked while wearing their seatbelt.
2. I made a purchase of 1,500 yen for 5,000 yen on the bus. Normally, a Japanese person would give back 3,500 yen in change, but the tour guide exchanged it for a 5,000 yen bill and five 1,000 yen bills, then gave back 500 yen. It felt disrespectful towards the elderly.
3. At the photo point for the Great Buddha, the guide told us to prepare our cameras but passed by the location without saying anything, so we couldn't take any pictures.
4. I understand asking us to take our trash home, but wouldn't it be okay to throw it away at rest areas along the way? After the tour, I couldn't stand walking around the city with plastic bottles and trash. I wished they had indicated places where we could dispose of our garbage.
5. The guide referred to me as Mr. H. My name is K. I wanted to ask if they couldn't read the furigana.
6. The audio guidance ran out of battery twice in a row. They should have checked it properly!
7. After arriving at the drop-off location, the guide told me that if I was going to the airport, it would be better to get off here. I hurriedly got off and panicked about whether I had forgotten anything. I wished they had informed us a bit earlier.
8. After the speech, the guide spoke in a condescending manner, almost like a chuckle. I felt a sense of superiority from their fluent English.
9. During lunch, the guide was busy serving and clearing tables. If they had that much time, I wished they had done more photo opportunities and provided better sightseeing guidance.
I’ve listed various complaints, but these are just my personal impressions. I did enjoy the sightseeing overall.
ツアーが1日前であったならば2千円の割引があり、クーポン2千円が付いていたのに日程の調整が付かず1.2万円のツアーとなってしまい損した気分で参加した。
集合時間の10分前には集合場所に行くと既にバスが到着していて驚いた。
①添乗員は我々客には危険防止のためシートベルトを締めよと言いながら、自分は立ったままで話しているのが最初に気に食わない態度であった。シートベルトをして座って話した方が顔を見せなくても良い。
②車内販売で5千円で1,500円の買い物をした。日本人なら3千5百円のお釣りをよこすのが普通だが、添乗員は5,000円札と千円札5枚を交換して、それから5百円を交換した、欧米か!老人を馬鹿にした態度にしか感じられなかった。
③大仏様の写真撮影ポイントです。カメラの準備をしてくださいと言っておきながら、添乗員はその場所を通り過ぎたのに何も言わず、撮ることが出来なかった。
④車内のごみは持ち帰ってくださいと言うのは解りますが、途中の道の駅等で捨ててもいいのではないか?ツアー後、ペットボトルやごみを持って街中を歩くのは邪魔で耐えられなかった。ごみを捨てても良い場所を示してほしかった。
⑤添乗員から私の名をH様と呼ばれる。Kである。フリガナを振ってあるのに読めないのか?と言いたくなる。
⑥音声ガイダンスの電池切れが2回続けてあった。点検位ちゃんとやれ!
⑦降車場所に着いてから、添乗員に空港に行くならここで降りた方がいいよと言われた。慌てて降りて、忘れ物が無いか慌てふためいた。もう少し早くいってほしかった。
⑧スピーチの後に少しせせら笑いのような話し方をする。英語がペラペラで上から目線を感じられた。
⑨ランチでレストランの配膳と片づけをやっていた。そんな暇があったら、写真撮影や観光ガイドをもっとやってほしかった。
色々文句を並べましたが、個人の感想です。観光は十分楽しめました。

In late autumn, we set off for a walk in the Yamahara forest. After receiving a lecture from our guide about the forest's flora and fauna, we began our journey! Crunching through the fallen leaves and pushing aside the grass, we entered the woods.
This year's typhoon had caused large fern branches to break and trees to lean from their roots, while the stream had been significantly eroded, clearly showing the impact of the strong winds and torrents. Even so, the fallen trees were reaching their branches back up towards the sky and sending new roots down into the ground.
As the day approached noon, the creatures that had become sluggish during this season began to emerge in the sunlight. Crickets were hopping around, and occasionally, we could hear the sound of cicadas. In a hole on the mountainside, a large centipede was peeking out to observe us, while dragonflies and butterflies fluttered in the dappled sunlight. Even in the late autumn forest, there were many little friends around.
We were guided to a place where we could feel the power of nature, soaking in the forest's energy and enjoying a special time. And then, our guide surprised us with a special exploration of the changed stream due to the typhoon. We walked along the stream, avoiding fallen trees, experiencing both the excitement of the forest walk and the awe of nature's might.
In the quiet moments and the immense power of the forest, there was a mysterious and special time to be found.
晩秋、山原の森歩きへ。
ガイドさんから森の動植物・森歩きのレクチャーを受け、出発!カサカサと落ち葉を踏み草をかき分けながら森の中へ。
今年の台風で、大きなシダの枝が折れ木が根から傾き、沢は大きく削られて、風の通り道・激流の跡でその影響の大きさが目の前に。それでも 薙ぎ倒された木はまた空に向かって枝を伸ばし、新たな根を地面に向かって下ろしていた。
この時期活動が鈍くなっている生き物達も、お昼近くになると陽射しの下でかおを出し始める。コオロギがたくさん跳ね回り、時々蝉の声が聞こえてくる。山の斜面にある穴の中では大きなゲジゲジがこちらの様子を伺っていたり、糸蜻蛉や蝶が木漏れ日の中でひらひらしていたり。晩秋の森でも小さなお友達が沢山いる。
そんな自然の力を感じる場所に案内してもらい、森のパワーを全身で浴びて、特別な時間を堪能。
そして、、、パワフルな私達に、ガイドさんから特別なおかわり探検をプレゼント。台風で変わってしまった沢へ。倒木をよけながら激流の跡の沢歩をさせて頂いた。森歩きのワクワク感と同時に自然の脅威も感じながら。
静かな時と大きな森のパワー。そこには不思議で特別な時間がある。
Dear Grace,
Thank you for joining the Nature Textbook Exploration Trekking Tour.
During this time of year, the temperature fluctuations are significant, which causes many creatures to be less active and continue their burrow lifestyles. However, your ability to spot things was truly impressive, rivaling that of a guide (reverse guide, haha).
Despite the remnants of Typhoon No. 6 still being present, I’m glad we could experience the resilience, magnificence, fear, and beauty of nature.
Let's go on an exploration trekking tour during the season when more creatures appear.
Thank you for posting your review!
Grace様
自然が教科書探検トレッキングツアーにお越し下さりありがとうございます。
この時期は寒暖の差が激しい為、生き物達も活性が鈍くあなぐら生活が続く生き物が多いですが、Graceさんの見つけるが凄くガイド顔負けです(逆ガイド笑)
台風6号の爪痕がいまだに残る中、自然のたくましさ、自然の凄さ、自然の怖さ、自然の美しさを感じる事が出来て良かったです。
生き物が増える時期に、探検トレッキング行きましょう

I searched for a tour that could take me to the northernmost part, which is difficult to access individually, and I applied for this one. It was great that we could efficiently cover the area.
Since the hotel I was staying at was far from the meeting point, I had called a taxi for the morning, but unfortunately, it was forgotten for my individual booking, and I almost missed it! I hurriedly called the contact number for assistance, and it turned out that I could catch up by taking a bus partway. I managed to make it just in time! I'm glad my family trip wasn't ruined. I'm grateful to the kind tour guide and driver!
Later, when I asked the tour guide, I learned that if I had requested directly from the tour company from the beginning, I could have specified a meeting point closer to my hotel.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour itself, but it seems that the raw fish lunch didn't sit well with me, and I felt a bit unwell afterward. Normally, I don't have such issues and am usually quite sturdy. That was a bit disappointing.
個人ではなかなか行きにくい最北部に行けるツアーを探してこちらを申込しました。効率的に回れて良かったです。
宿泊しているホテルが集合場所から離れていたので朝タクシーを呼んでいたのが、なんと個人のため忘れられて間に合わないという事態に!あわてて連絡先に電話して対応相談、通り道途中までバスで行けば合流できそうということで何とか間に合いました!家族旅行の計画が台無しにならず良かったです。親切な添乗員さんと運転手さんに感謝!
後で添乗員さんにきいたら、最初からツアー会社に直接依頼すれば、ホテルから近いその合流場所を指定することもできたみたいでした。
また、ツアーそのものは満足度高かったですが、生魚の昼食が体に合わなかったようで、その後ちょっと体調をくずしました。普段は余りそんなこともなく丈夫なはずなのに。それがちょっと残念でした。

We participated as a family of four (with elementary school children). In October, it was a bit hot wearing long sleeves and long pants, but it was perfect for sun protection, insect repellent, and injury prevention. Additionally, the half-day course was just right for my children and me, who are not very active. Above all, the Pinai Sara Falls were breathtaking. There were times when the canoe didn't go in the direction I wanted, but the instructions were thorough, so I think beginners will feel at ease. The trekking was also adjusted to the children's pace, and we learned the names of plants and animals, which deepened our understanding of nature. If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.
家族4人で参加しました。(小学生)
10月で長袖長ズボンだと少し暑かったものの、日焼け&虫除け、怪我防止対策には最適でした。
また、半日コースは子供たちと運動不足の私にも丁度良かったです。
何よりもピナイサーラの滝は、絶景でした。
カヌーではなかなか思う方向に進まないときもありましたが、丁寧にレクチャーして頂きましたので、初心者でも安心だと思います。
トレッキングも子供のペースに合わせてくれましたし、植物、生き物の名前も教えて頂いて、自然への理解が深まりました。
また機会があれば、是非参加したいと思います。

It was a very fulfilling tour and became a wonderful memory. I participated alone, but while trekking with the guide, I learned about the guiding system of Iriomote Island and their efforts towards nature, which deepened my understanding of the island's environment. Of course, I also received explanations about the plants we encountered along the way, which was educational.
It was my first experience with canoeing, but I received a lecture beforehand, which made me feel secure in taking part. Canoeing in the great outdoors was amazing! I had heard that solo canoes are more likely to tip than tandem ones, so I was a bit nervous at first, but by the return trip, I felt much more relaxed and was able to enjoy the scenery while moving through nature.
The waterfall was more impressive than I had imagined and was absolutely fantastic! I felt so energized that it seemed to wash away all the fatigue from my work. Watching the waterfall while eating the delicious rice balls from the lunch provided was the best feeling! I heard that the guide and the owner prepared the lunch in the morning.
After the tour, I received image data that the guide took during the tour, and they were all wonderful, bringing me happiness just by looking at them. The guide was indeed skilled at taking photos!
I was extremely satisfied with this very fulfilling half-day plan!
とても充実したツアーで大変良い思い出になりました。
私は1人参加でしたが、ガイドさんと西表島のガイド制度や自然に対する取り組み等話しながらトレッキングして、更に西表島の自然に対して理解が深まりました。勿論、途中で見かける植物等の説明をしていただき、勉強になりました。
また、カヌー初体験でしたが、事前にレクチャーしていただき、安心して取組めました。
大自然の中のカヌーは最高でした(^^)1人乗りは2人乗りより落ちやすい事を聞いていたので、初めはドキドキでしたが、帰りの道ではだいぶ余裕が出来て周りをのんびり見ながら大自然を堪能して楽しみながら移動できました。
滝は、想像以上に迫力があり、最高でした!!パワーを沢山貰い、今までの仕事の疲れなどが消えた位本当に素晴らしかったです。そして、そこで配布された美味しいおむすびのあるお弁当を食べながら滝を眺めるのは最高の気分でした!
お弁当はガイドさんとオーナーさんが朝作ってくれたそうです(^^)
ツアー後にガイドさんがツアー中に撮ってくれた画像データもいただき、どれも素敵で見てるだけで幸せな気持ちになります。さすがガイドさんは写真の撮り方も上手でした!
半日で大変充実したプランで大満足でした!!

It was a tour where even someone like me, who lives in the city and rarely has the chance to connect with nature and hasn't been exercising much, could enjoy kayaking and trekking! Since I stayed in Ishigaki Island instead of participating from Iriomote Island, I was looking for a tour that I could join locally. However, since I don't usually exercise much, I thought I might not have the stamina for a full-day tour, so I consulted with my family and decided to try a half-day tour.
For kayaking, we could choose between single and double kayaks, and this time I went with a double kayak with my family. Steering was challenging, but it felt stable. The staff kindly taught us how to paddle, and the guide was great, which made the experience very enjoyable. After about 30 minutes of kayaking, we headed towards the waterfall. We were provided with river shoes for trekking, so it was no problem to climb even in wet areas. I wore trekking shoes, but since my feet got wet from kayaking, I was able to borrow river shoes when preparing at the office, so there was no worry about my shoes.
When we arrived at the waterfall, we enjoyed the rice ball bento they prepared for us and jumped into the waterfall! My family said it felt amazing. If you bring a change of clothes from the start, I highly recommend jumping into the waterfall.
The staff took a lot of photos for us, so we have wonderful memories from the day. Next time, I want to try canoeing by myself.
One thing to note is that the sun in Iriomote Island at the end of September is hot, so it's best to wear clothing that covers both your upper and lower body. It gets surprisingly hot, and you might regret exposing your skin, so please prepare accordingly. Also, it's advisable to stay hydrated.
日頃は都会生活で自然に触れ合う機会もなく、運動もしていない体力不足の身体でも、カヤック+トレッキングが楽しめるツアーでした!
西表島からの参加ではなく、石垣島に宿泊したため、現地集合で参加できるツアーを探していました。とはいえ、日頃はあまり運動もしないため、終日ツアーだと体力が持たないかもしれないと思い、家族と相談して半日ツアーをトライすることに。カヤックは一人乗りと二人乗りを選べるのですが、今回は家族と一緒に二人乗りにしました。舵をとるのは大変ですが安定感があります。
漕ぎ方をスタッフの方が親切に教えてくれるし、ガイドもしてくれたのでとても良かったです。30分くらいカヤックして、到着したところから滝を目指します。最初に貸してくれる沢シューズでトレッキングするため、足元が濡れたところでも問題なく登れます。トレッキングシューズを履いていきましたが、カヤックで足元が濡れるため、事務所で準備するときに沢シューズを貸していただきましたので、靴の心配はありません。滝に着いたら、用意してくれたおにぎりのお弁当を頂いて、滝にドボン!すごく気持ちよいと家族が言ってました。最初から着替えを持ってきている人はぜひ滝に飛び込むとよいでしょう。
またたくさんスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださいましたので、とてもよい思い出が残りました。今度は一人カヌーで体験したいです。
注意点とすれば、9月末の西表島の日差しは暑く、上も下も肌が隠れる格好がよいです。びっくりするぐらい暑すぎて、肌を露出していることに後悔しますので準備していってください。あと水分補給対策はしたほうがよいでしょう。

The tour guide did an excellent job guiding us. When my partner was struggling with how to paddle the canoe, the guide helped by pulling us along with a rope and made sure to communicate effectively, which was very helpful. Being over sixty, I found canoeing in the summer heat quite challenging, and the subsequent trekking involved some steep paths, so even the half-day course required a fair amount of stamina. However, the stunning views we reached were truly moving, and jumping into the cool waters of the waterfall felt exceptional after the heat. The guide also took many photos for us and pointed out great spots for Instagram, resulting in some wonderful pictures that I wanted to post. Additionally, the rice balls we had for lunch were made with local rice and were very tasty. This was my second time at Pinaisara, while it was my partner's first, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory. Although it was a bit tough on a hot day, I’m glad we participated.
ツアーガイドさんはそつなく上手にガイドしてくださいました。相方がカヌーの漕ぎ方に戸惑っていたところ、紐でつないでひっぱって進んでくださったり、きちんと目配せもしてくださって助かりました。自分が還暦越えの年齢だというのもありますが、夏の暑さの中でのカヌー漕ぎはそれなりに大変ですし、その後のトレッキングもけっこう険しい道を進むので、半日コースでもそれなりに体力を使います。そうしてたどり着いた先の景色のよさには感動ひとしおですし、火照った体で飛び込む滝壺の気持ちよさも格別でした。ガイドさんには写真もたくさんとっていただいて、インスタ映えするポイントなんかも教えていただき、投稿に使いたくなる上手な写真が多かったのもよかったです。あと、昼食でいただいたおにぎりも地元のお米ということで、とてもよいお味でした。自分は2回目のピナイサーラ、相方は初めてでしたが、とてもいい思い出になり、暑い日で少し大変でしたが、参加してよかったと思いました。

The view of the Okinawa sea from Daishirinsan will surely be a memory I won't forget for a lifetime.

It was a tour that took us around several places in the northern region by bus. You can optionally listen to explanations through earphones while on the bus. I was unsure about what to wear before participating, but since we only walked a little in the Oishi Forest, casual clothing is perfectly fine without worrying about hiking gear.
There were many participants who came alone, and the ages varied.
It was a very good experience. I would like to join other tours as well. Thank you.
北部をバスで数ヶ所を周るツアーでした。バスの中でも任意でイヤホンで説明を聞く事が出来ます。参加前に服装を悩みましたが、大石林山で少し山中を歩く程度なので、登山の装いなどを気にしなくても、楽な服装で大丈夫です。
1人参加の方が多かったです。年齢も様々でした。
とてもいい経験になりました。また他のツアーにも参加させていただきたいです。ありがとうございます。

My first time on Iriomote Island
My first time kayaking
My first time trekking
Everything was a new experience, but it was fun.
The scenery was indeed amazing.
I was warned that the sunlight could be intense, so I took my own measures against it, but I underestimated it.
Of course, wearing a hat is a must, but wearing shorts is risky.
I think it's better to have gloves if you're going kayaking.
A waterproof case for your phone is definitely a good idea. I regretted not buying one.
Also, I didn't bring a change of clothes (there might have been a warning about this), and it was a hassle, so a change of clothes is essential.
If I get the chance to go to Iriomote Island again, I would definitely like to participate once more.
初めての西表島
初めてのカヤック
初めてのトレッキング
と、何もかもが初めての体験でしたが
楽しかったです
やはり景色が最高
日差しが流石にキツいとご注意もあったので
自分なりに日差し対策して行きましたが
甘かった
帽子なんて当たり前ですが
ハーフパンツは危険です
グローブがあった方がカヤックやられる方は良いと思います
携帯防水ケースもあった方が絶対良いと思います
買わなかったことを後悔しました
それと、着替えを持って行ってなくて(注意があったかもですが)困ったので
着替えは必須です
又西表島に行く事が出来たらもう一度是非参加したいです

I participated in a half-day tour to Pinaí Sara Falls by kayak. Kayaking through the mangroves was pleasant, and we got off the kayak to trek to Pinaí Sara Falls. The falls were even more amazing than I had imagined, and swimming in the pool was incredibly refreshing. The guide's service was excellent, and it truly became a wonderful memory.
カヤックでピナいサーラの滝半日ツアーに参加しました。マングローブの中をカヤックは気持ち良くカヤックを降りてトレッキングでピナいサーラの滝へ行きました。ピナいサーラの滝は想像以上に素晴らしく滝壺で泳ぐと超気持ち良かったです。ガイドさんの対応も素晴らしく本当に良い想い出になりました。

The weather forecast was completely rainy, so I participated without much expectation, but as we approached Cape Hedo, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the views from the two observation decks at the cape were amazing. Just seeing this scenery is worth it.
The rock formations at Obayashi Ishiyama are unique and not easily found elsewhere, and from the observation deck, we could also see Cape Hedo, which was breathtaking.
And above all, the taste of the sashimi at the port for lunch exceeded my expectations—it was incredibly delicious!
However, the tour guide spoke too quickly, making it hard to hear, and there was little explanation about the flow after getting off the bus or about the restrooms. It was disappointing that I had to ask again after getting off to understand. I would have appreciated some advice about walking a bit ahead. Also, when we went to the store, the conversation was mostly with the staff, which was awkward. I hope they can prioritize customer interaction a bit more and be more accommodating.
The scenery was fantastic, and the Okinawa rail was super cute, but if the tour guide had been more attentive, it would have made for an even better trip.
天気予報は完全に梅雨空で あまり期待しないで参加しましたが 辺戸岬近づくと急に晴天になり 岬の2つの展望台が景色最高でした
この景色見るだけでも価値があります
大林石山も他ではあまり見ることができない奇岩怪石と展望台からも辺戸岬がみられ絶景でした
それと何と言っても 昼食の港食事の刺身の味が期待以上でした めちゃ美味かった!
ただ添乗員の説明が早口で聞こえづらく バスを降りてからの動線や トイレの説明少なく 降りてからもう一度聞かなければわからないのが残念でした 少し先頭で歩くとかアドバイスが欲しかったです お店にいくと店スタッフとばかりの会話も見苦しかったです もう少し客の対応を優先すること考えてもっと寄り添ってください
景色が最高で ヤンバルクイナもめちゃ可愛かったですが 添乗員の気配りがもっとあればより最高の旅になりましたよね

I have visited Okinawa Island many times. Since I am a paper driver, I have always relied on bus transfers for sightseeing. I had given up on the idea of touring the northern part beyond Nago by bus, but this tour made my dream come true.
The weather was bad, but the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the stroll. Although not in the wild, I was happy to see the Okinawa rail up close through the glass.
If I may add, we only stopped at the Yamada Service Area for a restroom break on the way there, so I hope it can be included in the itinerary in the future.
As expected, we were delayed on the way back due to traffic.
沖縄本島は何度も訪れています
ペーパードライバーなのでいつもバス乗継で観光していました
名護より北部はどう頑張ってもバスでは観光が難しいとあきらめていたのですが、このツアーで夢がかないました
天気は悪かったですが、食事はおいしく散策も楽しめました
野生ではないけどヤンバルクイナもガラス越しで近くでみることができてうれしかったです
欲を言えば
道の駅許田は行きのトイレ休憩のみだったので、今後コースにいれてほしいです
帰りは案の定渋滞で到着は遅れました

A 63-year-old woman traveling alone. This was my third time canoeing. Since it's a single kayak, I could go at my own pace and relax. The river is wide, offering magnificent views and the sounds of birds and cicadas, making it the perfect forest bathing experience.
I thought trekking for 40 minutes would be tough, but the guide made it enjoyable with explanations and photos, so it was fine.
Seeing the waterfall for the first time was incredibly moving. The water was cold, but my goal was to jump into the plunge pool, and it was the best experience.
The return canoe ride was also fun with everyone chatting and laughing. Thank you to the guide!
63歳ババ1人旅。カヌーは3回目。1人乗りだから自分のペースでのんびり。川幅が広いから雄大な景色と鳥やせみの声で最高の森林浴。
トレッキングは40分で大変かなと思ったけどガイドさんが説明や写真などで楽しみながらだったから大丈夫でした。
初めて滝を見て大感動。水は冷たいけど目標は滝壺ジャンプだったから最高でした。
帰りのカヌーもみんなでワイワイで楽しかったです。ガイドさんありがとうございました

Yambaru Experience Tour
On the bus, you can enjoy information about the next destination through the earphone guide and the tour conductor's commentary, while sometimes looking out the window. The travel is much easier compared to renting a car.
During lunchtime, not only is there a delicious seafood set meal, but there is also a beautiful garden with great scenery, making popular shops quite understandable.
The main highlight, Daishi Forest Mountain, follows the Churaumi Observation Deck course as the standard route, while those interested can start from the Unique Rocks and Giant Stones course. Although the Unique Rocks and Giant Stones course has difficult footing, it allows you to feel the energy of Daishi Forest Mountain, known as a power spot, even more. I was overwhelmed from the start and couldn't find my pace; 50 minutes was definitely not enough. I wished we could have stayed for about an hour and a half.
Although I didn't encounter the wild Yambaru Rail, after learning about life through the earphone guide and videos (which included footage of animal accidents due to traffic), I was able to see the adorable behavior of Kuu-chan, the Yambaru Rail, through the explanation of the guide at the Yambaru Rail learning facility.
Yambaru is a bit far and not easy to get to, but it was a very satisfying bus tour with a variety of experiences.
やんばるを満喫するツアー
バス社内でも次の目的地に関する情報をイヤフォンガイドや添乗員さんの話も聞きながら、時には車窓を見たり、目的地までの移動がレンタカーよりとにかく楽です。
ランチタイムは美味しいお海鮮の定食はもちろん、景色の良い庭園があり、人気のお店も納得です。
メインにしていた大石林山は、美ら海展望台コースを標準として、希望者は奇岩・巨石コースからスタートする。奇岩・巨石コースは足下が悪いのですが、パワースポットと呼ばれる大石林山をより感じることが出来ます。最初から圧倒されて、ペースが掴めず、滞在50分では全然足りなかった。希望として1時間半くらい滞在時間があればと思いました。
野生のヤンバルクイナには出会えなかったけれど、バス車内でイヤホンガイドと映像での命の学習(交通事故による動物の事故映像が流れます)をした後、ヤンバルクイナの学習施設で案内役のお姉さんの説明で、ヤンバルクイナのくーちゃんの愛らしい行動が観られました。
やんばるまでは少し遠い、なかなか行けないけれど、いろいろ廻ってもらえて大満足のバスツアーでした。

I was picked up at the hotel and received an explanation at the tour company before changing into shoes and driving to the canoe launch site. After learning how to paddle, we set off. We paddled slowly for 40 minutes, then trekked for 30 minutes to reach the Pinai Sara Falls. We took photos while getting splashed at the base of the waterfall, enjoyed the prepared lunch, and saw a crested serpent eagle, a Semaruhako turtle, and a family of Ryukyu wild boars, making it a more fulfilling tour than I had expected. The guide's explanations were accurate and reliable, which made for a fantastic experience. However, while it was said that beginners and children could enjoy it, it required more physical strength than I anticipated.
ホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、ツアー会社にて説明を聞きシューズを履き替え、カヌー乗り場まで車で移動。パドル操作を教わり出発。ゆっくり40分漕ぎ、カヌーを降りて30分トレッキングしてピナイサーラの滝に到着。滝下での飛沫を浴びての写真撮影、準備してもらったお弁当食べて、途中ではカンムリワシ、セマルハコガメ、琉球イノシシ親子みたりと思っていたより充実したツアーでした。ガイドの方も説明も的確だし、頼りになり最高の気分でした。但し、初心者やお子さんも楽しめるとのことでしたが、思っていたより体力が必要でした。

The direct ferry from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port was canceled due to high waves, so we arrived at Uehara Port an hour late via a bus from Ohara Port. However, they flexibly adjusted the start time by one hour to accommodate us. It was my first time kayaking, but they reassured me by saying, "Take your time, it's okay," which helped me relax and enjoy the mystical mangrove scenery along the riverbank. After kayaking, we trekked to the waterfall. The narrow mountain path was paced to suit us, and they occasionally stopped to explain the surrounding plants and aquatic life, allowing us to walk comfortably without getting too sweaty. I was moved by the mystical "Mononoke Forest" and the magnificent waterfall, and I was also very surprised that we, who usually live in the city, could walk there on our own. This was all thanks to the skillful guidance of our experienced tour guide. Thank you very much!
石垣島から上原港へのt直通の船が高波で欠航し、大原港経由でフェリー会社のバスで上原港に1時間遅れでの到着となってしまいましたが、臨機応変にスタートを1時間繰り下げてご対応くださいました。カヌーは初めてでしたが、「慌てないで大丈夫ですよ」と声をかけて下さるので、肩に無用な力も入らず、川岸の神秘的なマングローブの景色を楽しむことができました。カヌーを降りると滝までトレッキングです。狭い山道ですが、私たちにあわせたペースで進んでくださり、ときどき立ち止まっては周りの植物や水辺の生き物説明を交えて下さるので、汗だくになることもなく、快適に最後まで歩を進めることができました。神秘的な「もののけの森」や大自然の滝に感動し、また普段都会で暮らしている私たちが、自分の足で歩いて見に行くことができたことにも、とても驚いています。経験あるツアーガイドさんの上手な導きのおかげです。本当にありがとうございました!

It was rainy on the day of the tour, but that added to the jungle atmosphere, making it enjoyable in its own way. We participated as a family, and although my son fell behind while canoeing, he was very happy thanks to the guide's support. The trekking to the waterfall took just the right amount of time and was pleasant, with the guide's explanations along the way being easy to understand. It was a very enjoyable tour.
当日は雨模様でしたが、ジャングル感が増すのでそれはそれで楽しめます。家族での参加で、息子がカヌーで遅れをとる事もありましたが、ガイドさんのフォローのお陰で非常に喜んでいました。
程良い時間で滝へ辿り着けるトレッキングが心地よく、道中のガイドさんの解説も分かりやすく、非常に楽しいツアーでした。

I wonder if the mangrove forest was necessary; I could have spent that time at Daishi Forest Mountain instead. I could hardly hear the bus travel guide recording.
マングローブ原生林は、要らなかったかな、その時間を大石林山に回していればなー、バス移動のレコーダー案内はほとんど聴き取れなかった。

I was able to return safely despite the rainy weather. Thanks to the guide and the bus driver.
The Yanbaru Forest and the Oishi Rock Mountain were impressive. Climbing the mountain wasn't particularly difficult, but you need to be careful because the footing is poor. I thought it would have been perfect if it hadn't rained.
In the end, we had to change buses due to some trouble, but that also became a good memory.
Next time, I want to explore a different course.
天候は雨降る中無事帰ってくることができました。
ガイドのお姉さん、バスの運転手さんのおかげです。
やんばるの森、大石林山など見応えありました。山登りは、特に辛いこともないですが、足下悪いので気をつける必要はあります。雨が降ってなければ最高と思いました。
最後は、バスのトラブルで乗り換えが必要になりましたが、それもいい思い出となりました。
今度は違うコースで見て回りたい。

Thank you for participating in the exploration trekking. Despite the rain and the anxiety during a time when the activity of living creatures is low, I am glad that you enjoyed observing the wildlife and the shikuwasa experience. There are still many different creatures to see, so please come and visit us again. Let's take a stroll while soaking in the phytoncides. Thank you for your review and for joining the tour.
