All Reviews for Okinawa Snorkeling

I experienced a mangrove canoe 🛶 and water buffalo tour at Yufu Island 🐮. First of all, I'm really glad I chose this tour! The distance from the mangrove spot to Yufu Island was surprisingly far, and traveling by car was essential. I believe that participating in the tour allowed me to smoothly experience both activities in one day! Moreover, our instructor, Shabi, provided various interesting facts about Iriomote Island while guiding us, which made the experience even more enjoyable than the activities themselves!

I also joined the tour as a day trip from Ishigaki Island. After the tour ended, there was a bit of time before the return ferry, but I highly recommend Maruma Beach 🏖, which is about a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal! It was the most beautiful sea I've ever seen, and since I happened to have clothes that I didn't mind getting wet, I changed and played in the sea. The time until the ferry arrived flew by!

マングローブカヌー🛶＆由布島水牛観光🐮のツアーを体験しました。
まず、本当にツアーにしてよかったです！マングローブスポットから由布島までは意外と距離があり、車での移動必須でした。ツアーに参加したからこそ、1日でスムーズに両方体験できたと思います！そして何よりインストラクターのシャビさんが、色々な西表島豆知識を挟みながら案内してくださったので、アクティビティそのもの以上に楽しむことができました！
また石垣島から日帰りで参加したのですが、ツアー終了後～帰りのフェリーまで少し時間があきますが、フェリー乗り場から歩いて10分ほどのところにあるまるまビーチ🏖が本当におすすめです！！！今まで見た海の中でいちばんきれいで、ちょうど濡れてもいい服装を持っていたので、着替えて海で遊んでいると、フェリーまでの時間はあっという間でした。

We had a great afternoon during the canoe tour in the mangroves. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the mangrove ecosystem. The excursion was well organized, relaxing, and very enjoyable. We definitely recommend it!

The morning mangrove canoeing was exhilarating, as it felt like an adventure through a dense jungle, surrounded by lush greenery. I felt incredibly refreshed as I experienced the sparkling surface of the water up close. After that, I took a shower at the office and had some free time to eat lunch at Uehara Port.

Later, the ride on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was surprisingly leisurely. Listening to the sound of the sanshin while gently gliding over the sea was a truly luxurious and happy experience. This tour allowed me to enjoy both active adventure and the soothing charm unique to Okinawa, creating memories that will last a lifetime!

午前のマングローブカヌーで、生い茂る緑の中を抜けていくのは、まるで密林を冒険しているようなワクワク感があり、キラキラした水面を間近に感じて最高にリフレッシュできました。その後、事務所でシャワーを浴び、お昼は上原港で自由に食べる時間がありました。
​その後、水牛車での由布島への移動は、驚くほどゆったりとした時間が流れていました。三線の音色を聴きながら、海の上をのんびり進む感覚は、なんとも贅沢で幸せな気持ちになります。アクティブな冒険と、沖縄らしい情緒たっぷりの癒やしを両方味わえて、一生の思い出に残るツアーでした！

The day before and the day of our visit were beautifully sunny, and the sea around Barasu Island had an incredible clarity that felt like it could swallow you whole! We were enchanted by the many corals and fish, and we were fortunate enough to encounter a lionfish as well.

My elementary school daughter experienced the ocean and snorkeling for the first time in her life. At first, she was nervous, but the guide, Ok-kun, and all the staff at Pipi were truly friendly and supportive, and by the end, she was saying, "This is so much fun!"

Having her first experience in such a beautiful sea was truly a luxurious experience. The time spent gently swaying in the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was also fantastic, making it a day where we could fully enjoy the charms of Iriomote.

Thank you very much!

前日・当日と快晴で、バラス島の海は吸い込まれそうな透明度！たくさんのサンゴと魚たちに癒され、なんとハナミノカサゴにも出会えるという幸運に恵まれました。
小学生の娘は今回が人生初の海＆シュノーケリング。最初はドキドキでしたが、
ガイドのおっくんさんやpipiのスタッフの皆さんが本当にフレンドリーで優しくサポートしてくださり、最後は「楽しすぎる！」と大はしゃぎ。
初めてがこの綺麗な海なんて、本当に贅沢な体験になりました。
由布島の水牛車でのんびり揺られる時間も最高で、西表の魅力をフルコースで味わえた一日でした。
ありがとうございました！

I was really satisfied with the mangrove canoeing experience, just as I had imagined. They were considerate about taking photos so that not many other people were in them, and I have done quite a few activities, but I really enjoyed this one!

思い描いていた通りのマングローブカヌーができてすごく満足です。写真も他の人があまり映らないように配慮いただいたり、アクティビティは結構してきましたがとても楽しめました！

We participated as a couple, experiencing a mangrove kayaking tour in the morning and riding a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island in the afternoon. Although the weather wasn't great, with some wind and occasional light rain, I was really glad we could still go ahead with the activities.

We were guided by Komachan during the kayaking. I appreciated that even though I couldn't take photos with my own smartphone, he took plenty of pictures for us. Since there were quite a few participants, it was challenging to paddle without bumping into others.

At Yufu Island, we had about an hour of free time, which allowed us to explore the area, so that was nice.

On the day of the tour, the ferry to Uehara Port was canceled, so we had to go to Ohara Port and then take a bus to gather at Uehara Port. However, I was grateful that we were taken back to Ohara Port afterward. Overall, it was a fun experience that you can only have on a tour.

夫婦での参加、午前はマングローブカヤック、午後に水牛車に乗り由布島へ行く体験をしました。
天気が良くなく、風も少しあり時々小雨が降る日でしたが実施できて本当に良かったです。

カヤックはこまちゃんに引率して頂きました。
自分のスマホで写真を撮れなくても沢山写真を撮っていただけて有難かったです
人数が多めだったのでカヤックを漕ぐとき他の参加者にぶつからないようにするのが大変でした。

由布島では1時間ほど自由時間となりぐるっと周れたのでよかったです

当日は上原港行の船が欠航になり大原港に行ってそこからバスに乗って上原港へ集合する流れになりましたが帰りは大原港まで送っていただき有難かったです。
総じてツアーならではの楽しい経験ができてよかったです。

I participated in the mangrove canoeing and Yufu Island tour. It was our first experience canoeing as a couple, but the explanations were thorough, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. There were narrow areas surrounded by mangroves, but we were able to navigate through them without any issues. I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, but even with breaks along the way, I didn't fall too far behind. I joined in mid-April, and at first, the water felt cold, but once I got used to it, I hardly felt the chill.

At Yufu Island, in addition to riding a water buffalo, we enjoyed a wonderful experience with the staff playing the shamisen and singing. Both at the mangroves and Yufu Island, the staff provided detailed explanations at each step, allowing us to enjoy the tour with confidence.

マングローブカヌーと由布島観光に参加させていただきました
カヌーは夫婦初体験でしたが、説明もしっかりして下さるので、安心して楽しむことができました✨マングローブに囲まれた狭い箇所もありますが、問題なく進むことができました
体力に自信はありませんでしたが、途中休憩しながらでも大きく遅れることもなかったです　4月中旬の参加で、初めは水が冷たいと感じましたが、慣れれば冷たさは殆ど感じませんでした
由布島では水牛に乗車に加えて、スタッフの方の三味線と歌もついて、素敵な体験ができました🐃
マングローブでも由布島でも、スタッフの方が丁寧に都度説明をしてくださるので、安心してツアーを楽しむことができました

I was lucky enough to participate just the day before the event! After making the reservation, I received prompt communication and they adjusted the pickup location for the day. Overall, the staff were very courteous, taking photos during the activity and sharing them, as well as introducing Iriomote Island on the bus.

The tour content was also fulfilling! Personally, I found Yubu Island to be even more enjoyable than I expected. The hardworking water buffalo were adorable, and the unique plants of Yubu Island were thriving, making me feel the negative ions! The weather in mid-April was just right—not too hot and not too cold.

開催日前日の直前でしたが運良く参加できました！
予約後すぐにご連絡をいただき当日のお迎え場所を調整してくださいました。
総じてスタッフの方が丁寧でアクティビティ中に写真を撮影して共有してくださったり、バス車内で西表島の紹介をしてくださいました。

ツアー内容も充実していました！個人的に由布島が思っていた以上に楽しかったです。一生懸命な水牛が可愛くて、由布島には西表島ならではの植物が生き生きと育っていてマイナスイオンを感じました！4月中旬の気候は暑すぎず寒くもなくちょうどよかったです。

A full day packed with canoeing, waterfall pools, and snorkeling. Many ocean tours have age restrictions, making it difficult for seniors to find suitable options (though I believe seniors who want to participate in activities are quite energetic…). However, on this tour, the guide was very considerate, and I had a wonderful time. The snorkeling spots were incredibly beautiful. I did swallow some water and panicked a bit, but I received proper assistance, so thank you very much for that. For seniors who have given up due to age restrictions, you can definitely enjoy this tour, so please participate. I highly recommend it!

カヌー、滝壺、シュノーケリングと1日で盛りだくさん。海のツアーは特に年齢制限がある物が多く、高齢者は参加可能ツアーを探すのが大変ですが(アクティビティをしたい高齢者は元気と思うのですが…)こちらのツアーはガイドの方が気を使って頂き大変楽しく過ごしました
シュノーケルの海も最高に綺麗です。
水を呑んでしまって少しパニクリましたが適切に補助して頂き本当にありがとうございました。
年齢制限で諦めた高齢者の方、十分楽しめますので参加して下さい。お勧めですよ。

I took a boat from Ishigaki Port at 11 AM and arrived at Iriomote Island at noon. After dropping off my luggage at the hotel, I signed up for a tour to make the most of the three hours before check-in.

The half-day course started at 1 PM and lasted about three hours, which was a lot of fun.

The guide was very thorough in their explanations, making it easy for beginners to enjoy the experience without worry. This is a recommended tour that I think everyone should try when visiting Iriomote Island.

It was an activity that I could enjoy even alone.

Thank you, Takahashi-san, for being a great guide!

11時石垣港発の船で12時に西表島に到着し、滞在先のホテルに荷物を預けて、チェックインまでの3時間を有効活用しようとツアーに申し込みました。
13時スタート半日コースで約3時間楽しめました。

ガイドの方の説明もとても丁寧で、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。
西表島に来たらぜひ体験してほしい、おすすめのツアーです。

1人でも十分楽しめるアクティビティでした。

ガイドの高橋さんありがとうございました。

Our family of four landed on Iriomote Island for the first time! Among the many tours available, we found a plan that included everything we wanted to do. The canoe course was just right for our kids, who are in 8th and 6th grade, and they seemed to have a great time! We went hands-free, but they took a lot of beautiful photos for us, which became precious memories for our family. Our guide was Yume, and the lunch spot she recommended was truly delicious! Thank you very much!

家族4人で初西表島に上陸！
数あるツアーの中でやりたい事がつまったプランでした。中3と小6の子供たちにも、ちょうど良いカヌーコースで楽しかったようです！
手ぶらで乗りましたが、たくさん写真を撮っていただき(すごくキレイな写り！)、家族の大切な思い出の記念になりました。
担当してくださったのはユメさんで、教えていただいたランチのお店が本当に美味しかったです！！ありがとうございました。

I enjoyed everything. It was great that my middle school and college kids also had a blast. I ended up soaked from the waist down, probably because we were in a three-person canoe.

どれも楽しめました。中学生、大学生の
子供達も満喫していたのでよかった。カヌーは三人乗りだったせいか下半身はびしょ濡れでした。

I booked a mangrove kayak tour, but due to heavy rain, it was deemed dangerous, so they changed it to a beach snorkeling experience. They made a quick decision and provided an alternative plan.

Given the many accidents that occur in marine sports, I appreciate their safety-first approach, which builds trust. The snorkeling was also a great choice, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea immensely.

The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable. I would love to use their services again.

マングローブカヤックで予約しましたが、大雨の影響で危険とのことで、ビーチシュノーケルに変更してくださいました。迅速な判断と他のプランを用意くださいました。
マリンスポーツでの事故も多い中で、安全第一の判断をしてくださり、信用ができます。
シュノーケルも大正解で、とても美しい海を堪能できました。
ガイドさんも知識豊富でとっても楽しい時間でした。また利用したいです。

The weather is up to chance, so there's nothing we can do about it.
The magnificent scenery and mangroves were beautiful.
The kayaking experience was fun.
There are fewer photos.
The sense of style is a bit questionable.
🔰 Keep it up, Ryoma-kun!

天気は運次第だから仕方ない
雄大な景色、マングローブ
カヤック体験は楽しかった
写真少なめ
センス微妙
🔰リョーマくん頑張って！

Since it was the change of seasons, I wasn't expecting much, but the weather was so nice that I thought the sea would look beautiful! So, I made a reservation the day before. In the morning, we went canoeing on the Urauchi River, and in the afternoon, we did snorkeling at Barasu and another spot. The snorkeling had an unbelievably high level of clarity, and we were able to see clownfish, butterflyfish, and many other types of fish. Our guide in the morning was Teru, and in the afternoon, it was Kengo. Both guides were very knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel safe. When I expressed my lack of confidence in swimming, they took various considerations into account, which allowed us to fully enjoy both the morning and afternoon activities.

Both of them had a deep love for Iriomote Island and shared many interesting things with us, including the beauty and enjoyment of rainy days. I highly recommend this tour for those visiting Iriomote Island for the first time! Make sure to experience this tour at the beginning of your stay on Iriomote Island. You will definitely fall in love with Iriomote Island!

季節の変わり目なので期待していなかったのですが、あまりに天気が良いので、海が綺麗そう！と思い前日に予約しました。午前中は浦内川でのカヌー、午後はバラスともう一つ別のポイントでのシュノーケリングです。シュノーケリングは信じられないほど透明度が高くクマノミ、チョウチョウウオ、その他沢山の魚を見る事ができました。午前のガイドはテルさん、午後のガイドはケンゴさんでした。どちらのガイドさんも視野が広く、親切で安心です。泳力に自信が無い事を伝えると色々と配慮してくれました。おかけで午前も午後も満喫できました。
お二人共、西表島愛があり色々な事を教えてくれました。
雨の日の美しさ、楽しみなども。
西表島初めての方にはこちらのツアーお勧めです！西表島に泊まって最初にこのツアーを体験してください。西表島が大好きになること間違い無しです！

I was guided by Yume, and I was able to spend a special time unique to Iriomote Island.

It was my first canoe experience, but thanks to her bright and kind support, I felt at ease. The explanations about the mangroves were enjoyable, and I was moved to be taken to some wonderful hidden spots.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but since there was no direct sunlight, it was actually comfortable and nice. It became a wonderful memory; thank you very much!

ガイドのユメさんに案内していただき、西表島ならではの特別な時間を過ごせました。

初めてのカヌー体験でしたが、明るく優しいサポートのおかけで安心感がありました。
マングローブの解説も楽しく、とっておきの素敵なスポットまで連れていってもらえて感動しました。

天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、直射日光はなかったので逆に過ごしやすくて良かったです。
素敵な思い出になりました、ありがとうございました！

The guide's service and the tour were both excellent. I definitely want to participate again when I visit Iriomote Island next time. Please consider joining as well!

ガイドさんの対応もツアーも最高でした。
次回西表島に訪れた際も、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
ぜひ参加してみてください。

It was an enjoyable tour from start to finish. The mangrove canoeing was stable, and even someone like me, who lacks physical strength, was able to ride it easily and observe the mangroves up close. Although it was a cloudy day with strong winds, the river was majestic, with gentle flows that allowed me to fully experience the great nature of Iriomote Island. I highly recommend canoeing!

Since you will get wet, I think it's best to participate in shorts or swimwear. You can change in the shower rooms. I was also happy that they took photos of us while canoeing and sent them to me later. If you bring your own smartphone, a waterproof case with a strap is essential!

On Yubu Island, I enjoyed the water buffalo, small beaches, delicious gelato, and butterflies... It was a peaceful time, and I was able to experience a different atmosphere from the wildness of Iriomote Island.

Although we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to bad weather this time, I thought it was great that Pipi offered various activities, allowing us to choose different options.

終始楽しいツアーでした。
マングローブカヌーは安定していて体力のない私でも簡単に乗れるようになりましたし、間近でマングローブを観察できました。曇りで強風の日でしたが、川の方は雄大で流れはあまり無くゆったりと西表島の大自然を感じることができたので、カヌー！オススメです。
濡れますので、服装は短パンや水着で参加されると良いと思います。着替えはシャワー個室でできます^ ^
カヌーに乗っている写真も撮っていただけて、後から送ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。もし自分のスマホを持つ場合防水ケースにストラップが必須です！
由布島も水牛や小さな浜辺に美味しいジェラートと蝶たち…穏やかな時間が流れていて西表島のワイルドさとはまた違った雰囲気を味わうことができ満喫しました♪
今回悪天候でバラス島に行けなかったのですが、pipiさんでは色々なアクティビティを実施されていて違うアクティビティを選ぶことができたことも大変良かったと思いました。

I had the pleasure of being guided by the Komachan team during the mangrove canoe tour, and it was a very fulfilling experience thanks to their bright and cheerful guidance! There was a change in the itinerary due to weather conditions the day before, but they provided detailed explanations and tips about the ferry, which made me feel that this tour company is very sincere overall.

The guides were very friendly and worked well together, and I found it fascinating to hear stories about life on the islands while we were on the bus. Additionally, I was able to spot a natural monument, the crested serpent eagle, thanks to their guidance. Thank you very much for this invaluable experience!

マングローブカヌーではコマちゃんチームでお世話になりましたが、明るく楽しく案内していただきとても充実したツアー体験でした!!前日に天候による内容変更がありましたが、そういった際も詳しい説明やフェリーの注意点なども教えていただき全体を通して大変誠実なツアー会社だと感じました。
ガイドの皆さんはとても仲が良くて、連携が取れていましたし、移動中のバスの中で島での生活の話などを聞きとても面白かったです。また、天然記念物のカンムリワシを発見して教えていただき目にすることができました。貴重な体験も含め本当にありがとうございました。

First of all, Shogo, who guided us on the canoe trip, was very good at talking and guiding, which made me feel secure throughout the tour! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I think we had a lot of fun.

When getting on the canoe, you will definitely get wet up to about halfway up your shins. I was a bit surprised by the coldness of the water at this time of year, but once you're on, there are splashes of water, yet you generally won't get soaked. Before we started, there was a lecture on how to paddle and use the oars, and then we gradually got used to it while actually entering the mangrove forest in the river? sea? brackish water. It was very enjoyable, experiencing a jungle cruise-like atmosphere as we navigated the increasingly narrow waterways, and we had plenty of time to enjoy it!

As you can see, the water buffalo pulls the canoe, so you don't have to exert any effort! Throughout the day, I think the temperature was around 22 degrees Celsius, but I wore a swimsuit underneath, a short-sleeved T-shirt on top, and a light jacket, which made it feel quite warm during the canoeing!

Before the water buffalo ride, we had lunch near Uehara Port, and the guide recommended some places to eat! There was a shower to change out of wet clothes before lunch, so it might be a good idea to prepare a bag for wet items!

Overall, it was a very enjoyable day and a great experience!

まず、今回カヌーを案内してくれたショウゴさん、とても話上手で、ガイドも上手で安心してツアーを終えることができました！
天気は生憎の曇天でしたが、かなり楽しめた方だと思います。
カヌーに乗船する時は確実に膝下半分ぐらいまで濡れます。この時期水の冷たさに少し驚きましたが、乗ってしまえば水しぶきはありますが、基本浸水して濡れるようなことはありません。漕ぎ方やオールの使い方などは乗る前にレクチャーがあり、その後しばらく川？海？汽水域で慣らしながら実際にマングローブ林に入っていきます。段々細くなる水路にジャングルクルーズのような雰囲気を味わいながらとても楽しく、そして十分な時間楽しめました！
水牛は見てのとおり、牛が引っ張って行ってくれるのでなにもちからは使いません！
1日を通して気温22度ぐらいで推移していたと思いますが、下に水着を着て、その上に半袖Tシャツに、薄手のジャンバーでカヌーの途中は暑いぐらいでした！
このツアーでは水牛の前に上原港近くで各自昼食を取りますが、ガイドさんがオススメを教えてくれます！
昼食前にカヌーで濡れた服装などを着替えるシャワーがあり、濡れた物をいれる袋など用意しておくと良いかもしれません！
総じて非常に楽しめた1日でとても良い経験になりました！

When we arrived, the weather was quite bad, but during the mangrove tour, the weather was really nice, and I was truly moved by the beautiful scenery. We also got to experience water buffalo riding, and the gelato shop recommended by Koko was absolutely delicious! Koko, who always had a wonderful smile, made it the best debut on Iriomote Island. ☺️

到着時は天候が悪めでしたが、マングローブツアー中はとても良い天気で、素敵な景色が見れてほんっとに感動でした。
水牛体験もでき、こっこさんオススメのジェラート屋さんはとっても美味しかったです！
ずっと笑顔が素敵なこっこさんが担当してくださって最高の西表島デビューになりました☺️

It was impressive.
Next time, I definitely want to participate with a SUP.
Thank you again.
Macchan, thank you for your warm hospitality.

迫力ありました。
今度はぜひSUPで参加したいです。
またよろしくお願いいたします。
まっちゃんさん、あたたかく対応していただきありがとうございました。

I was disappointed that it wasn't SUP, but I was allowed to freely operate the canoe at my own pace. I apologize for any inconvenience, but I really enjoyed it. Thank you, Macchan!

SUPじゃなかったのは残念でしたが、客のペースに合わせて自由にカヌーを操作させてくれました。ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、本当に楽しめました。まっちゃんさんありがとうございました！

I participated in a mangrove canoe tour on Iriomote Island. The river was very calm, and the time spent slowly moving through the mangrove forest was truly an extraordinary experience.

It started to rain along the way, but the mangrove forest sheltered us from the rain more than I expected, so it wasn't too bothersome. In fact, the scenery of the greenery and the water surface wet from the rain was very enchanting, creating a special atmosphere that was different from sunny days. The sound of rain echoing in the quiet forest was truly a luxurious experience.

The guide was also attentive and reassuring, and the explanations about nature and wildlife were enjoyable, allowing us to connect more deeply with Iriomote Island. This is a highly recommended experience that can be enjoyed regardless of the weather. If you visit Iriomote Island, I definitely encourage you to join this tour!

西表島でマングローブカヌーツアーに参加しました。
川はとても穏やかで、マングローブの森の中をゆっくり進む時間はまさに非日常体験でした。

途中で雨が降ってきたのですが、マングローブ林が想像以上に雨をしのいでくれて、あまり気になりませんでした。むしろ雨に濡れた緑や水面の景色がとても幻想的で、晴れの日とはまた違った特別な雰囲気を味わえたのが印象的です。静かな森に雨音が響く時間は本当に贅沢でした。

ガイドさんも丁寧で安心感があり、自然や生き物についての説明も楽しく、より深く西表島を感じることができました。
天候に関係なく楽しめる、本当におすすめの体験です。西表島に来たらぜひ参加してほしいツアーです！

My first time on Iriomote Island.

The experience of seeing the mangroves by canoe is something that's difficult to do on your own, so I definitely recommend this tour. The guide was entertaining and shared a lot of interesting information about the history, nature, and knowledge of the mangroves of Iriomote. Additionally, they provided clear instructions for canoeing, making it safe for beginners. At the end, they showed us small crabs that filled the beach, which was very satisfying. You will get wet, but on the way back, you can stop by the office to take a shower.

If you're going to Iriomote Island, I highly recommend the canoe mangrove tour!

はじめての西表島。
マングローブをカヌーで観に行く経験は、個人では難しい体験なので、是非、こちらのツアーおすすめします。ガイドのお兄さんの話も面白い。西表の歴史、自然、マングローブの知識満載です。さらに、初めてのカヌーもわかりやすく教えてくださるので、安全です。最後は、浜を埋め尽くすような小さな蟹たちもみせてくれて、大満足でした。濡れますが、帰りは、事務所によって、シャワーを浴びられます。
西表島に行く際には、是非、カヌーマングローブツアーおすすめします❗️

I was worried about whether I could enjoy it since it was raining, but canoeing in the rain was fun! Thanks to Koko, who kindly encouraged us, I was able to participate without any anxiety. Since she also acted as our guide, I gained a deeper understanding of the nature of Iriomote Island!

The water buffalo cart walked through the water, which was a rare experience that I wouldn't normally get to have. The sightseeing time on Yubu Island was just right, and I was happy to enjoy delicious gelato at a café!

If I have the opportunity to go to Iriomote Island again, I will definitely join the tour! Thank you very much!!

雨が降っており楽しめるのか不安でしたが、雨の中のカヌーも楽しかったです！
担当のコッコさんが優しく声掛けしてくださったおかげで不安なく行うことができました。ガイドもしてくださったので西表島の自然についての知識も深まりました！
水牛車も水の中を歩くとのことで普段できない貴重な体験ができました。
由布島での観光時間もちょうどよくカフェでおいしいジェラートを食べれて幸せでした〜！
また西表島に行く機会があればツアー参加させていただきます！
ありがとうございました！！

Although we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island due to strong winds, the alternative option of canyoning was a lot of fun! There was certainly some fear when jumping in, but I was able to enjoy it while chatting and laughing with the guides and other participants! The mangroves were filled with the scent of nature, providing an extraordinary experience that became an unforgettable memory. One request I would appreciate is if those going to Yufu Island in the afternoon could be transported in a separate vehicle from those doing canyoning, as this would eliminate the waiting time for the shower for those heading to Yufu Island.

強風でバラス島でのシュノーケルは叶いませんでしたが、代替案のキャニオニングがとても楽しかったです！飛び込む時の怖さはもちろんありましたが、ガイドさんや参加者の方々とわいわいしながらでしたので楽しむことができました！マングローブの中は自然の匂いでいっぱいで非日常体験をすることができ、一生忘れられない思い出となりました。ひとつお願いできれば嬉しいのは、午後に由布島へ行く方とキャニオニングをする方で別の車で行動させていただけると由布島に行く方のシャワーを待つ時間がなくなるのでありがたいです。

In February, it was the rainy season, so we got quite a bit of rain, but the volume of water at Pinay Sara Falls was an experience like no other! It became a wonderful memory.

The sea was quite rough, and no other tour boats were out, but they indulged our whims. As expected, the waves were stronger than we imagined, making snorkeling impossible... but it was really fun!!! We will definitely come back for a revenge trip!

Our guide was not laid-back at all; he was genuinely sincere and trustworthy.

I highly recommend Monsoon!

2月は雨季とのことで、結構雨に打たれましたが
ピナイサーラの滝の水量はなかなか体験出来るものではない！
というくらい良い思い出になりました。
海は、大しけで他のツアーさんの船が1つも出ていないなか、私たちの我儘に付き合って下さいました。
案の定、想像以上に波が強くシュノーケリングどころではなかったけれど。。。
本当に楽しかったです！！！
絶対リベンジに来ます！

ガイドさんがチャラい感じじゃなくて、本当に誠実な方で信頼出来きました。

モンスーンさん、おすすめです！

We participated as a couple in our 20s. It was our first experience kayaking through the mangroves, but the two staff members provided very attentive support, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. They not only taught us how to paddle the kayak but also explained the characteristics and ecosystem of the mangroves in Iriomote Island in an easy-to-understand way, making it an educational experience. We were able to spend a relaxing time in nature, and it became a wonderful memory for us as a couple.

20代夫婦で参加しました。
マングローブの中をカヤックで進む体験は初めてでしたが、2名のスタッフの方がとても丁寧にサポートしてくださり、安心して楽しむことができました。
カヤックの漕ぎ方だけでなく、西表島のマングローブの特徴や生態系についてもわかりやすく説明していただき、学びのある体験になりました。
自然の中でゆったりとした時間を過ごせて、夫婦でとても良い思い出になりました。

Since snorkeling was canceled, I switched to a mangrove tour. It was a highly satisfying tour where I could fully enjoy the natural beauty of the mangroves on Iriomote Island in just the morning. We gathered at Uehara Port, and the transfer to the location was smooth. The guide carefully taught us how to paddle the canoe and important points to keep in mind, so even beginners could participate with confidence. The time spent quietly moving through the mangrove tunnel was mystical, and the sounds of birds and the gentle ripples on the water created a pleasant experience. The little stories shared along the way were interesting, changing my perspective on the island's creatures and plants, and I gained a lot of knowledge. Many foreign participants joined as well, but the guide was fluent in English, making the content enjoyable for all participants. After the tour, we moved to the office to take a shower, and then returned to the port to conclude the tour. Finally, the guide recommended some set meals, and when I tried them, they were absolutely delicious!

シュノーケリングが中止になったので、マングローブツアーに変更しました。西表島のマングローブの自然を午前のみでしっかりと味わえる大満足ツアーでした。上原港集合で、現地への移動ももスムーズでした。ガイドさんがカヌーの漕ぎ方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくれるので初心者でも安心して参加できました。マングローブのトンネルを静かに進む時間は神秘的で、鳥の声や水面の揺れまで心地よい体験でした。途中の小話も面白く、島の生き物や植物への見方が変わり、沢山の知見を得ることができました。外国の方も多く参加していましたがガイドの方は英語に堪能で全参加者が楽しめる内容になっていました。ツアー後は事務所に移動して、シャワーを浴びて、また港に戻って解散の流れでした。最後におすすめの定食やなども教えていただき、行ってみるととても絶品でした！
