When I arrived at Uehara Port by ferry, the person who was supposed to pick me up was not there. After searching for about five laps, I confirmed by phone and was told, "I'll be there soon." I was taken aback, thinking, "Wait, they haven't arrived yet??"
First, I went to the shop to drop off my luggage and borrowed shoes that could get wet before heading to the cave. The entrance was extremely narrow, and there was water pooling at my feet, making it quite a struggle to crawl through. However, after that, I was surrounded by untouched nature! The limestone cave had several breaks where we walked outside in the sunlight and then back inside the cave. The guide occasionally provided explanations and took photos, and as we walked, they spoke to each of us, which gradually made the atmosphere more relaxed.
After about an hour of exploration, we returned to the shop for lunch with rice balls. After a break, we moved on to canoeing. Unfortunately, all the single-person canoes were already taken, so we headed to the waterfall in a two-person canoe. At first, we were unsteady, going this way and that. After getting off the canoe, we climbed for about 30 minutes to reach the waterfall basin. There, we were treated to brown sugar tea. After that, we retraced our steps down the mountain and paddled back in the canoe. By the return trip, I had gotten quite used to canoeing and was able to go mostly straight.
Throughout the morning and afternoon, my legs got quite wet. If you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes.
フェリーで上原港に着いたとき、迎えに来てくれるはずの人が来ておらず、5周くらい探し回った後で電話で確認すると、「すぐ行きます」とのこと。え~、まだ来てなかったの??ということでいきなり出鼻をくじかれました(泣)
まずショップへ行って荷物を置き、濡れてもいい靴を借りていざ洞窟へ。入口が極端に狭く足元は水が溜まっているので、中腰でくぐり抜けるのにひと苦労。しかし、その後は手つかずの自然が!鍾乳洞は何度か途切れ、日差しのある外を歩いたり、また洞窟内に入ったりの繰り返しでした。ガイドさんがちょこちょこ説明を挟みつつ写真を撮ってくれ、歩きながら個々に話しかけてくれるので、だんだん和んできます。
1時間ほどの探索が終わると一旦ショップへ戻り、おにぎりでランチ。休憩を挟んだあと、お次はカヌーへ。たまたま一人乗りのカヌーが先客で全て使われてしまっていたため、二人乗りカヌーで滝へ向かいました。最初は慣れずにあっちへ行ったりこっちへ行ったり。カヌーを降りると30分くらいかけて滝つぼへ登ります。こちらでは黒糖紅茶をふるまっていただきました。その後は同じルートをたどって下山し、カヌーを漕いで戻りました。帰路のカヌーは大分慣れて、おおむね真っすぐ進むことができました。
午前・午後通して脚がけっこう濡れます。気になる人は着替えを持参した方がいいかも。

I wanted to visit Cape Hedo, the northernmost point of Okinawa, so I decided to join the trip. The weather changed from cloudy to light rain, but the view from Cape Hedo is amazing! I can't help but feel a bit regretful thinking that the view would be even better on a clear day. However, seeing the Okinawa rail for the first time really lifted my spirits. Also, the lunch was quite good!
沖縄最北端である、辺戸岬へ行ってみたいと思い参加させて頂きました。
天気は曇り空から小雨になったのですが、辺戸岬からの眺めは素晴らしいです!
これが快晴ならもっと良い眺めなのでは⁈なんて思うとちょっぴり悔しい気持ちに。。
そんな気持ちをヤンバルクイナを初めて見て癒やしてくれました。
あと昼ごはんが、中々良かったです!

I thought it would be quite a long tour (sweating), but once we set off, the 11 hours flew by in no time. The guided walk through the mangrove forest was explained in detail and was easy to understand. The exploration of the Oishi Forest was simply breathtaking. Despite the tour including meals, the food was a bit luxurious and delicious... or maybe the atmosphere enhanced the flavors? At the Yanbaru Kuina breeding facility, the artificially hatched Yanbaru Kuina named Kuu walked right in front of the camera, too accustomed to tourists♪ The driver and the tour guide were both very kind and attentive, leaving a deep impression and providing a fantastic experience.
かなり長時間のツアー(汗)と思っていましたが
いざ出発するとあっと言う間の11時間でした。
ヒルギ林の散策はガイドさんが細かく分かりやすく説明してくれました。
大石林山の散策も圧巻の一言。
またツアーの食事付きにもかかわらず、一寸豪華で美味しかった…と言うか空気が味を増してくれたな?
ヤンバルクイナの生涯展示学習施設に人工孵化されたヤンバルクイナのクーちゃん、観光客に慣れすぎてカメラの前を歩んでくれる♪

- I participated on New Year's Day. Since we were a small team of 2 people in 3 groups, they provided solid support for those who were not good at canoeing. I heard that canoeing can get crowded during the summer vacation season, but this time we were able to paddle while enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace.
- I was worried that the canoeing time might be insufficient, but combined with trekking, the time allocation was just right in terms of physical exertion.
- The trekking was somewhat tough, so those who don't exercise regularly might experience muscle soreness. However, participants around 65 years old were progressing quite well...
- The explanations about the flora and fauna along the way were interesting (fish, ducks, snipes, mudskippers, fiddler crabs, mangroves, etc.).
- We were able to explore Yufu Island in about an hour, and I caught a glimpse of a white-browed crake in the botanical garden corner.
・元日の参加でした。2人×3組の少人数チームだったので、カヌーが苦手な人にもしっかりサポートしてくれました。夏休みシーズンはカヌー渋滞するらしいですが、今回はゆっくり景色を楽しみながらカヌーをこげました。
・カヌーの時間が物足りないかな?と心配してましたが、トレッキングと合わせても体力的にはちょうど良い時間配分でした。
・トレッキングはまあまあきついので普段運動しない人は筋肉痛になります。65歳くらいの参加者はぐんぐん進んでましたが…
・道中の動植物解説が面白いです(魚、カモ、シギ、トビハゼ、シオマネキ、マングローブ等)
・由布島は1時間ほどでちょうどよく回れました。植物園コーナーで一瞬シロハラクイナを見ました。

I applied to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island, which is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. I had planned to go up to the top of the Pinaisara Falls, but the weather was not very good during this time, so after arriving at the tour company on the day of the tour, I changed my participation to a half-day itinerary that only went to the base of the falls.
We rode kayaks and moved close to the falls while observing the mangroves. There are seven types of mangroves that can be seen in Japan, and I enjoyed paddling up the river while learning that all of them can be found on Iriomote Island. After getting off the kayak, we went trekking for about 30 to 40 minutes. Our guide introduced us to various subtropical plants as we made our way to the foot of the falls. I was moved by the power of the falls when we arrived. Iriomote Island is the only place in Japan where you can see such great nature. I really wanted to climb to the top of the falls to see the full view of the mangroves, but, well, I guess it can't be helped this time.
I suppose you can't take beautiful photos unless it's summer. It only drizzled a little, so the rain wasn't a big deal, but it was a windy day. Still, I'm glad I went to see the wonderful scenery.
世界自然遺産に登録された西表島の大自然を満喫したくて申込みました。ピナイサーラの滝の上まで行こうと思っていましたが、この時期大変お天気がよくなくて、当日催行会社に着いてから1日ツアーを滝の下までにする半日行程に変えて参加しました。
カヤックに乗りマングローブを観ながら滝の近くまで移動。日本で観られるマングローブは7種類あり、西表島ではその全てが観られる事など、楽しく川を登って行きました。カヤックを降りてからはトレッキング。30〜40分位でしょうか。色々な亜熱帯植物をガイドしてもらいながら滝の麓まで。着いた時にはその迫力に感動しました。日本でこのような大自然を観られるのは西表島だけでしょう。本当は滝の上まで登ってマングローブの全景を観たかったのですが、う〜ん、今回は仕方ないかな。
やっぱり夏場でないと綺麗な写真は撮れないかな。雨は小雨が少し降ったけで大した事なかったんだけど、風か強い1日でした。ただ素晴らしい景色に行って良かったと思います。

I visited Cape Hedo for the first time. At first, I considered going there by transferring on the Okinawa bus, but I was about to give up because it would take a lot of time and wouldn't be efficient. That's when I found this tour. I was able to visit a power spot, enjoy a delicious sashimi set meal, and buy a lot of souvenirs. It was so much fun! The tour guide and the driver were both kind, and I'm glad I participated.

It was my first time canoeing, and quietly paddling through the mangroves was amazing! I was busy taking photos and paddling by myself, but the guide provided great support, allowing me to enjoy the experience.
The trekking was steeper than I expected, but the sense of accomplishment when I reached the top was significant. I also took the plunge into the waterfall, and I was very satisfied with that.
For lunch, we had rice balls, fried chicken, and boiled eggs, which were delicious. In the afternoon, we toured Yubu Island. I rode a water buffalo and explored the subtropical botanical garden on my own.
The butterfly garden, water buffalo pond, mangrove walkway, and Manta Beach were all places where I wished I could relax forever. The Yubu Island teahouse near Manta Beach had the best awamori gelato! I want to go back to Yubu Island just to eat that.
I enjoyed interacting with the water buffalo and watching them return to their barn from the pond. Most importantly, I was impressed by how much the caretakers loved and took care of the water buffalo. The guides were all very kind, and I was able to hear many interesting stories, making it a thoroughly satisfying tour!
初カヌーでしたが、マングローブの中、静かに進むカヌーは、最高でした!
1人で、写真を撮ったり、漕いだり、忙しかったけど、ガイドの方が、しっかりとフォローしてくださったので、楽しむことができました。
トレッキングは、思ったより急な山道でしたが、その分ついた時は感動も大きかったです。
思い切って、滝壺ダイブもやって、大満足でした。
お昼のお弁当はおにぎりと唐揚げ、ゆで卵、美味しかったです。
午後は、由布島観光。
水牛に乗って、亜熱帯植物園となっている島をひとりでまわりました。
素晴らしい蝶々園、水牛の池、マングローブの遊歩道、マンタの浜、どこも、いつまでものんびりと過ごしていたい場所でした。
特にマンタの浜近くにあった由布島茶屋は、泡盛ジェラート最高でした!これを食べにまた由布島行きたいくらい。
水牛に触らせてもらったり、池から水牛舎に戻った水牛たちを見せてもらったり、楽しかったです。
何より、水牛たちをお世話している方たちが、水牛の事を、ものすごく可愛がって、大事にしている様子に感心しました。
ガイドしてくださった方々、みなさんとても親切で、いろんな話を聞けて、大満足のツアーでした!

The Yanbaru area is quite challenging to visit on your own, so I joined this tour. Before getting on the bus, we sanitized our hands, and inside the bus, we were seated with space between each group, which made me feel safe while sightseeing.
Although the time spent at each location felt short, I was able to experience the richness of nature through my senses. In particular, I was very satisfied with being able to walk at my own pace and connect with the nature of Yanbaru at the Oishi Forest Mountain!
Additionally, the seafood for lunch and the souvenir snacks were both very delicious.
やんばるエリアは自力で行くには大変なので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。バスに入る前に手指消毒をし、バス内もグループ毎に間隔を空けて座っていたので安心して観光することができました。
各所を巡るため、それぞれの滞在時間は短く感じたものの、五感を通して自然の豊かさを知ることができました。特に、大石林山は自分のペースで歩きながらやんばるの自然に触れることができて大満足です!
また、昼食の海鮮もお土産のお菓子もとても美味しかったです。

I had the impression that Okinawa Island was small, but through this tour, I realized it is quite large and rich in nature. The 12-hour tour was packed with content. I was particularly impressed by the mangroves, Cape Hedo, the northernmost point of Okinawa, and the exploration of Daijōrinzan. Also, the lunch was very delicious. When you think of Okinawa, you often associate it with beaches, but I was reminded that it is also a place rich in mountainous nature.
沖縄本島は狭いというイメージがありましたが、このツアーを通じてかなり大きく自然豊かな島だと実感しました。

One of the places I had been curious about since studying for the World Heritage Certification and wanted to visit. I love traveling, but I'm not very accustomed to group tours, so I'm not a big fan of them, haha. It's quite a challenging place to visit on your own (over 120 kilometers one way from Naha, with no restrooms or gas stations along the way, and a lot of roadkill). I participated to explore comfortably and without stress. The tour guide and driver were very kind, and I would love to request them again. Even now, when I think back to the scenery I saw that day, I feel like I could cry from the emotion. This is the first destination that has moved my heart so much. By the way, I stayed for a few more days afterward, and the fish I had in Kunigami was the most delicious! I want to participate again to experience the air of Yanbaru. Thank you very much.
世界遺産検定の勉強をしていた時からずっと気になっていて、行ってみたいと思っていた場所の一つでした。旅好きですが、団体のツアーってそんなに慣れていないので、あまり好きではないのですが、苦笑。。個人で行くには大変な場所です。(那覇から片道120キロ以上、途中トイレやガソリンスタンドないところもある、ロードキルも多いので)ストレスなく快適に見て回るために参加。添乗員さん、ドライバーさんとても親切な方々で、またお願いしたいくらいです。今でもこの日に見た風景を思い返すと涙が出そうになる程、感動しました。こんなに心が動かされるデスティネーションは初めてです。ちなみに、その後数日滞在してましたが、国頭で食べたお魚が一番美味しかった!このやんばるの空気に触れに、また参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

Many bus tours focus on the Churaumi Aquarium, so I was looking for something different and found this one. Every place we visited was new to me and enjoyable. It was packed with activities, so I was a bit disappointed that our time at each location was short, but the lunch was delicious, and the souvenirs we received were also very tasty. We were able to stop at a roadside station and buy local souvenirs that you can't find on Kokusai Street. The guide provided various recommendations, which were very helpful. The shikwasa vinegar is delicious; it reminds me of Okinawa while I drink it. The driver was also very nice, and their careful driving made me feel safe. Both my husband and I drive, but we wanted to take our time enjoying the scenery in an unfamiliar place, so I'm really glad we participated. I would love to join again. Thank you!

The weather forecast wasn't great, so I chose this plan. From the moment of pickup, the service was excellent, and the conversation flowed, making me excited even before we arrived at the location. We did canoeing and trekking to the waterfall in the morning, and although we had planned to eat rice balls at the waterfall, due to the rain, our guide quickly adapted and arranged for us to have our meal back at the shop. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a warm meal and take a break indoors while sipping tea.
In the afternoon, we explored a limestone cave. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wait!? We're entering from here?" because it felt like a hidden gem (laughs). However, after going inside for a while, I was overwhelmed by the incredibly spacious area that opened up. It's a secret, but I also learned about stones that glow under black light.
The guide was wonderfully adaptable, knowledgeable, and a great learner. I'm cheering for you!
天気予報が良くなかったので、こちらのプランを選びました。
送迎の時からとても対応が良くて、話が弾み、現地に着く前からワクワクすることができました。
カヌー、滝へのトレッキングは午前中に行い、滝でおにぎりの予定でしたが雨天だったためガイドさんが機転を利かせて、お店に戻ってからの食事にしてくれました。おかげで暖かいお茶を飲みながら屋内でゆっくり食事や休憩を取ることができました。
午後からは鍾乳洞探検です。
エッ!?こんな処から入るの?と思わず声が出てしまったほど、秘境でした(笑)でも中に入ってしばらく行くと、パーッと開けて信じられないほど広い空間に圧倒されました。秘密ですが、ブラックライトを当てると光る石なども教えてもらえました。

Nearly 50 years ago, shortly after the return of Okinawa, I traveled there with friends. We were able to reach Yagaji Island, but unfortunately, there was no bus connection to Cape Hedo, so we couldn't go there.
On this trip, I finally had the chance to make a day trip to the northernmost point of Okinawa Island. From Cape Hedo, I could see Yoron Island and felt the difference between the sentiments of the Okinawan people before the return and the ease with which we can now visit from Honshu.
Local staff explained the mangrove ecosystem, and in the forest of Oishi Forest Park, we saw sharp rocks eroded by rain, butterflies, and cicadas. The view from the observation deck, where we could see Yoron Island, was also wonderful.
I was also impressed by the female tour guide, who, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, remained cheerful and bright while providing various explanations.
I felt attracted not only to Okinawa's international character but also to its efforts in nature conservation.
50年近く前、沖縄返還直後に沖縄に友達と旅行したとき、屋我地までは行けたのですが、辺戸岬まではバスがつながらず、残念ながら行けませんでした。
この旅行で、沖縄島最北端まで日帰りできるということで、やっと願いがかないました。辺戸岬からは与論島が見え、返還前の沖縄の人の思いと本州からも気軽に訪れることができる今の違いを感じました。
マングローブの生物を現地スタッフが説明してくださったり、大石林山の森では雨で浸食されてとがった岩石や蝶、セミを見ながら、与論島が見える展望台で景色も素晴らしかったです。
添乗員の女性が、このコロナで大変な時にもかかわらず笑顔で明るく、いろいろ説明してくださったことも印象に残りました。
沖縄の持つ、国際性だけでなく、自然保全の努力にも魅力を感じました。

I was very glad to participate in this tour. Although it was a short trip of two nights and three days at the end of October, this one-day tour made it a very fulfilling experience.
We efficiently visited multiple sightseeing spots, had delicious lunch, and were able to properly observe the Okinawa rail, which was fantastic! I think this tour is highly recommended for first-time visitors to Yanbaru. Along the way, there were several opportunities to enjoy delicious Okinawan food, which was also a delight. Due to infection control measures, there weren't many chances to eat, and some items were taken home, so I hope that if this situation continues, it would be great if you could suggest the best times to eat.
I felt that infection control measures were well implemented, as we traveled in a large bus with social distancing maintained and alcohol disinfection upon boarding.
Just around the time when pumice stones started to arrive, I was surprised by the recent news. Thank you very much to the tour guide and the driver for a very enjoyable trip!

道中、沖縄のおいしい食べ物のプレゼントが何度もあり、それも楽しめました。感染症対策のためか、なかなか食べるチャンスがなく、お持ち帰りになったものもあったので、今後もこのようなご時世が続くようだったら、お勧めの食べるタイミングを教えてくれるといいなと思いました(^-^;
ソーシャルディスタントが確保された大型バスで、乗車の度にアルコール消毒があるので感染症対策しっかりされていると感じました。

The canoeing was just as I imagined, very relaxing and enjoyable. The trekking to the waterfall was very well done, with an easy and fun course. Even though it was early November, we were able to play in the waterfall pool. The guide's explanations were detailed and enjoyable as well. And!! The cave was amazing!!
It was said to be a beginner course, but we were able to experience crawling through narrow spaces, being in complete darkness, and exploring the cave without any handrails. It was an adventure that we couldn't have done without the guide. Thank you very much!!
カヌーは想像通り、とても癒されてたのしかったのですが、滝へのトレッキングが、とてもよくできていると言うか、登りやすく楽しいコースで、11月頭でしたけれど、滝壺で遊ぶこともできました。ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて楽しかったです。そして!!洞窟が素晴らしかった!!
初心者コースだそうなのですが、狭い間を潜りぬけたり、真っ暗を体験したり、手すりなどなく、ガイドさんがいなければ体験できない洞窟探検ができました。ありがとうございました!!

I went yesterday.
It was a packed itinerary, and I was able to fully enjoy Yanbaru.
I've visited Okinawa's main island more than ten times, but I rarely had the chance to go to the northern part on my own. Since this was a solo trip, I decided to join a tour.
I think this is a great tour for first-timers to explore the three villages in the northern part of Yanbaru. From the second time onward, I plan to decide on my own itinerary.
The guide and the driver were both very nice, and I had a fun day. If I have the opportunity, I would like to use this tour again.
I highly recommend it when visiting Okinawa!
昨日行ってきました。
盛りだくさんな内容でやんばるを満喫することができました。
沖縄には本島だけでも10回以上訪れていますが、北部には個人ではなかなか行く機会がなく、今回はひとり旅だったこともありツアーに参加しました。
やんばるに集中した行程で、北部三村を初めて回るにはとても良いツアーだと思います。2回目からは個人で目的を決めて行ってきます。
ガイドの方と運転手さんもとても良い人で、1日楽しく過ごすことができました。機会があれば、またこちらのツアーを利用したいと思います。
沖縄に行く際はおすすめです!

The tour was perfectly balanced in terms of time and distance for both canoeing and trekking, without being overly tiring. During the tour, the weather changed rapidly between cloudy, sunny, and rainy, and with temperatures around 25-26℃, I was able to enjoy the coolness of the waterfall while fully experiencing the subtropical nature. The explanations about the plants and insects were very clear, and the guidance on precautions and avoidance behaviors was excellent. Our guide was charming and strong.
I participated alone, but the guide helped me connect smoothly with the other members of the group, and the homemade lunch was simple yet delicious. Personally, I have relatively good stamina, so I felt I could have handled more aggressive activities, but I believe it’s a great tour that many people would find satisfying! I highly recommend it.
カヌーもトレッキングも、疲れ過ぎないちょうど良い時間と距離の配分のツアーでした。
ツアー中は曇り・晴れ・雨と目まぐるしく天候が変わり、気温は25〜26℃あったので滝壺の冷たさも味わえ、亜熱帯気候の大自然を満喫できました。
植物や昆虫たちのご説明もとても分かりやすく、注意事項や忌避行動の解説も絶妙。可愛らしく逞しい、素敵なガイドさんでした。
一人で参加しましたが、ご一緒した他のメンバーの方ともスムーズに打ち解けられるようお声がけくださり、手作りのお弁当も素朴でおいしかったです。
私個人が比較的体力があるタイプで、もっとアグレッシブなアクティビティでもよかったかな?と感じましたが、多くの方が満足できるとても良いツアーだと思います!おすすめです。

I had wanted to visit Daishi Forest for a long time, but it was difficult to get there without a rental car, so I had given up. However, I found this tour and decided to participate. Both the guide for the mangrove forest and the guide at the Yanbaru Kuina Museum shared a lot of detailed information, and I resonated with the importance of nature conservation. The lunch was also very delicious, the scenery was great, and I had a completely satisfying day. I was also happy to receive many souvenirs.
大石林山は以前から行きたかったのですが、レンタカー以外で行くのは難しく、諦めていたのですが、今回このツアーを見つけて参加させて頂きました。マングローブ林のガイドさん、ヤンバルクイナ館のガイドさん共に詳しくお話しして頂き、自然保護の大切さも共感しました。ランチもとても美味しく、景色もよく、1日大満足で過ごせました。お土産もたくさんいただき、嬉しかったです。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time on my honeymoon. We were able to kayak for about an hour together, and it was a fulfilling experience. We also got close to the Pinaisara Falls and enjoyed the great outdoors! We took a lot of photos, making it a memorable tour!
ハネムーンで西表島に初めて来ました。
カヤックは2人で1時間ほど漕ぐことができ、充実した時間でした。
ピナイサーラの滝も近くまで行くことができ、大自然を満喫出来ました!
写真も沢山撮っていただき、思い出に残るツアーでした!!

I wanted to go, so I made a reservation the evening before. Most tours confirm via text message or phone call, so I thought it would be the same this time, but I didn't receive any contact, which made me worried. When I checked my email for confirmation, I saw a message saying to contact them within an hour of the reservation confirmation. If I didn't, it would be a paid cancellation. I tried to reach out immediately after seeing the email, but I couldn't get through. When I finally did get in touch, I was yelled at in a very angry voice. I was able to participate in the tour, but it felt like I was being scolded throughout, and I couldn't enjoy it. It was the worst tour.
行きたいと思って、急遽前日の夕方に予約しました。ほとんどのツアーは、わかりやすくショートメールや電話を頂いての確認だったので、今回もそうだと思ってましたが、連絡がなく心配となり、予約の確認のためメールをチェックをしたところ、予約確定後から1時間も無い間の内に連絡をくださいと。連絡がなければ、有料キャンセルとなるとのメッセージ。メールを見てすぐ連絡しても連絡付かず。やっと連絡がついたと思ったら、すごい剣幕の声で怒られる。とりあえず、ツアーに参加出来ましたが、ツアー中も怒られている感じで、楽しめなかったです。最悪なツアーでした
We apologize for any discomfort we may have caused. Our entire staff will reflect on this to ensure it does not happen again. We will clearly label communication times and meeting details so that our customers do not overlook them. Thank you.
この度は不快なおもいをさせてしまい申し訳ありませんでした。今後このようことがないようスッタフ一同反省します。連絡時間、打ち合わせ等の問題もお客様が見落とさないよう、わかるよう標記いたします。ありがとうございました。

I was able to fully enjoy Iriomote Island with a tour packed with activities like kayaking, trekking, and exploring limestone caves. They provide shoes that are okay to get wet. Since trekking and the caves can be slippery and there are many plants, I think wearing clothes that cover both hands and feet is essential.
The waterfall was a bit chilly for swimming, so I didn't go in directly, but the water volume was impressive and very powerful. Along the way, I learned a lot about the plants, which was really interesting.
I participated from Iriomote Island, but if you're coming from Ishigaki Island, it might be a bit challenging to join as a day trip if the ferry to Uehara Port is not running (it takes about an hour by bus from Ohara Port to Uehara Port).
I think this tour is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy nature in a single day.
カヤック→トレッキング→鍾乳洞探検とたくさん要素がつまったツアーで、西表島を満喫できました。
靴は濡れても大丈夫なものを貸して頂けます。トレッキングや鍾乳洞は、滑りやすいところも多く、植物も多いので、両手両足が覆われた服は必須かなと思いました。
滝は泳ぐのには肌寒かったので、直接入ってはいないですが、水量も多くとても迫力がありました。道中も植物に関して色々教えて頂けて、とても面白かったです。
私は西表島から参加しましたが、石垣島からの場合、上原港行のフェリーが止まってしまうと、当日日帰りの参加はちょっと大変かもしれないと思いました(大原港→上原港までバスで1時間かかるので)。
1日で自然を満喫したい方にはおすすめのツアーかと思います。

I made a reservation for this tour because there was a campaign on Veltra. It was my first time in Iriomote Island, and I wanted to experience something unique to the island. The guide was friendly and taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, which was very informative. During the tour, we discovered interesting crabs and an incredibly large clam, so we had fun beyond just trekking and canoeing. Both canoeing and trekking were harder than I expected, but it was manageable (laughs). The waterfall was said to have a height of 55 meters, but it seemed even taller when viewed up close. It was overwhelming to see it so closely, as you don't often get that opportunity. I went in mid-October, so the water was cold and I couldn't swim, but others were swimming quite a bit. Since it was a half-day tour, we could make effective use of our time, and I highly recommend it. If you're considering it, definitely go for it!
veltraでキャンペーン中だったのでこちらを予約しました。初めての西表島で、西表島っぽいことをしたいと参加しました。ガイドさんは気さくで西表島のことを色々教えてくださり、勉強になりました。ツアー中、面白い蟹やものすごく大きいしじみを発見したりとトレッキングやカヌー以外でも楽しめました。カヌーもトレッキングも思ったよりハードですが、なんとかなります(笑)肝心の滝は落差55mとのことでしたが近くでみるともっとあるように思えます。あそこまで間近に見ることがないので圧倒されました。10月中旬にいったので水が冷たく私は泳げなかったですが、他の方は結構泳いでいました。半日のツアーなので時間も有効に使えますし、おすすめです。検討しているかたは是非!
Thank you for using our services. We were fortunate to have good weather. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again. Thank you.
この度は、ご利用いただきありがとうございました。天気に恵まれて良かったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いします。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a one-day tour to climb to the top of Pinai Sara Falls. The weather was great, and the view from the top was amazing. I think it's a rare opportunity to see the waterfall basin from above, so I recommend it if you're not afraid of heights. The guide was friendly, easy to understand, and fun. I would like to join other tours if I have the chance.
ピナイサーラの滝上まで登る1日ツアーに参加しました。
天気にも恵まれ滝上からの景色は最高でした。
滝上から滝壺を見る機会はなかなかないと思いますので高所恐怖症でなければオススメです。
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくて親切で楽しい方でした。
機会があれば他のツアーも参加したいと思いました。
