Iriomote_island
Canoeing through the jungle was a lot of fun! The guidance from Gakki was very polite and cheerful, and it was really great. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.
ジャングルの中を進んでいくカヌーはとても楽しかったです!
ガイドをしていただいたガッキーさんの教え方や対応が丁寧で明るくて、とても良かったです^ ^
また機会があれば利用したいと思います。
The weather wasn't great, but the waves weren't too high, and there were moments of sunshine, which was nice. The coffee shop on Hatoma Island had a great location, and I was able to relax comfortably. The tour guide, Iizuka, was kind and attentive, which was very good. We also encountered sea turtles, and at the end, we received a commemorative photo. I would like to use this service again. It was a great trip.
天候がイマイチでしたが、波も高くなく又時々晴れ間が出てくれたので良かったです。鳩間島のコーヒー屋さんもロケーションが良くて落ち着いて休憩出来ました。ツアーのガイド(イイヅカ)さんも親切丁寧で大変良かったです。ウミガメも遭遇出来ましたし、最後は記念の写真も頂けました。又利用したいと思います。
良い旅行になりました。
Due to the conditions of the waves the day before, we were informed that it was possible to change to a half-day canoe and trekking tour (7,000 yen per person). After considering it, I got back to them. When I followed up, I was told that caving was also available, so I requested that tour, but there was no explanation about the pricing at that time, and after the tour, I was charged 12,000 yen per person. I had the understanding that it would be around 7,000 yen, so I would have appreciated a clear explanation if there was a change in the price.
Additionally, after being informed that we could not land on Barasu Island, I booked another tour company, and we were able to land on Barasu Island and go snorkeling.
The introduction to the creatures during the cave exploration and canoeing, as well as the information about Iriomote Island, was very interesting and enjoyable. However, on the day of the tour, there were many people, and I was unsure where to wait for photos in narrow spaces. While taking pictures as we progressed in the canoe, there were times when we got stuck and were bumped from behind, so I would have liked clearer instructions and guidance. I was told that the hotel pick-up time was 16:30, but we actually arrived around 17:15.
We waited for the shower for the same group going to the port, and after being taken to the port, we were then taken back to the hotel. Since I had other plans afterward, I would have appreciated it if the staff, who were numerous at the office, could have taken that into consideration in case of significant changes.
前日に波等の関係でバラス島へ上陸できない為、半日のカヌー&トレッキングツアー(1人7,000円)の変更は可能とのご連絡があり、一度検討し折り返しをいたしました。
折り返しした際、ケイビングもできるとのお話でそちらのツアーをお願いしましたがその際料金についての説明はなく、ツアー後1人12,000円を請求されました。7,000円程度実施できるとの認識だった為、料金変更が場合はしっかり説明頂きたかったです。
また、バラス島上陸できない旨の連絡があった後別のツアー会社を予約したところしバラス島への上陸、シュノーケリングの実施ができました。
洞窟探検、カヌー時に生き物の紹介や西表島の紹介をして頂けた点はとても面白く楽しかったですが、当日のツアーも人数が多く、狭い場所での写真撮影はどこで待ってたら良いのか、カヌーで進みながら写真を撮る際にに後ろがつっかえて後ろから突っ込まれたりとしたのでしっかり指示、案内をして頂きたかったのと、ホテル送迎時刻を16:30と伝えられていたが実際到着したのは17:15頃でした。
同じグループの港行きのシャワーを待ち、港に送迎後ホテルに送迎され、
その後の予定もあったので大幅に変更になる際は事務所に多数のスタッフもいた為、ご配慮頂けたら嬉しかったです。
The mangroves and snorkeling were both breathtaking. The emerald-colored sea, the colorful coral reefs, and the mysterious mangroves created a scene that felt like something out of a travel guidebook. Our guide, Matsuko, provided clear explanations, and even though it was my first time kayaking and snorkeling, I was able to enjoy it as a beginner. The guide was very kind, ensuring that we could safely enjoy the marine sports. I was also very happy that they took photos and sent the data to us. Thank you very much.
マングローブも、シュノーケリングも絶景でした。
エメラルド色の海ら色とりどりのサンゴ礁、神秘的なマングローブ、観光ガイド本でしか見たことのないような、光景がそこには広がっていました。
ガイドのまつこさんの説明はわかりやすく、カヌーもシュノーケルリングも初めてだったのですが、初心者でも楽しむことが出来ました。
ガイドさんが、親切して下さり、安心安全に、マリンスポーツを楽しむことができました。
写真撮影をして、データを送って頂けたことも、とても嬉しかったです。
ありがとうございました。
The staff (Kaz) was easy to talk to and explained everything politely, which was great! It became a very enjoyable memory! I'm glad we took a lot of photos. If I had to say something, I wish I could have taken a photo with a sea turtle, haha.
スタッフ(カズさん)が話しやすく、丁寧に説明してくれて良かった!
とても楽しい思い出になりました!
写真も沢山撮って貰いよかったです。
強いて言うなら、ウミガメと写真撮りたかった笑
The waterfall and snorkeling were amazing! Every view was beautiful and moving! The guide's stories were also interesting and enjoyable. It was physically demanding, but I felt like I could really enjoy each part! I was able to swim a lot at the waterfall and even saw sea turtles. We got some great photos, so I have plenty of memories. I definitely had muscle pain the next day. The woman's angry voice in the shop was scary. The tour was very fun and made me feel happy!
滝もシュノーケリングも最高でした!どの景色もキレイで感動しました!ガイドさんの話しもおもしろくて良かったです。
体力のいる内容でしたが、一つ一つしっかり楽しめた気がします!滝でもたくさん泳げて、ウミガメもみれました。写真もとってもらえたので思い出いっぱいです。次の日からしっかり筋肉痛になりました
ショップ内にいた女の人が怒る声が怖かったです。ツアーはとっても楽しくて幸せな気持ちになりました!!
I decided to participate based on the words snorkeling, Hatoma Island, and Barasu Island, and it was a great decision. Despite the approaching Typhoon No. 14 after the previous one, the morning was calm, and we were able to land on Barasu Island, fulfilling a long-held wish. I was amazed by the beauty of the coral reefs in the morning. Following the staff's lead made me feel at ease. For lunch, we landed on Hatoma Island. It was unfortunate that we couldn't explore the island due to the high number of COVID cases, but I was glad to experience Hatoma Blue. In the afternoon, we went to pick up the next group at Uehara Port and then headed to a different point. I was happy to encounter a sea turtle this time. Meeting Nemo was also fantastic, but I started to feel seasick around the fourth point as the waves picked up.
シュノーケリング、鳩間島、バラス島、このワードで参加を決めましたが大正解。台風後、また、14号接近するなかの参加。午前中は、波も静かでバラス島にも上陸でき念願叶いました。午前中は珊瑚礁があまりにもきれいで驚き。スタッフの先導でついていくスタイルだと安心します。昼は鳩間島に上陸。コロナが多数でたこともあり島の中は見学できなかったのが残念でしたが鳩間ブルーにも出会えたし良かったです。午後組を一度迎えに上原港まで迎えに行き、また、違うポイントへいく。今度は海亀に出会えて嬉しかった。ニモにも会わせてくれて最高でしたが4ポイント目辺りから波が出てきて船酔いしてしまった。
Originally, I had signed up for the SUP @ Mangrove and snorkeling tour at Barasu Island, but due to poor conditions around Barasu Island, I received an inquiry the day before asking, "Would you like to cancel? Or switch to another tour?" Since I was already there, I decided to book the trekking and SUP @ Mangrove tour, and that turned out to be a great decision! The instructor, Matsuko, had only been there for a few months, but she was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island. She shared many interesting tidbits during our travel, including stories about the road construction that was halted and a simulator game at the wildcat museum.
After arriving, we all moved to the point with a simple mountain climb. Along the way, she introduced us to the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island. Coincidentally, there were four couples participating, including my husband and me: a couple who were masters of remote islands, a chatty couple from Kansai (Shikoku), and a calm yet friendly couple. Everyone was very approachable, and we became close through activities like diving. My usually quiet husband seemed to have a lot of fun, adding his own flair during the dives and really enjoying himself. At the end of the activities, the remote island master couple recommended a dining spot, which we promptly visited. The other couples also enjoyed hearing stories about different remote islands from them. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories, instructor Matsuko, and to all the couples! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Oh, and about the clothing: I thought I would be wearing a wetsuit over my swimsuit, so I wore my swimsuit, but the equipment provided included only a helmet, shoes, and a jacket. Everyone else was dressed in T-shirts or rash guards over their swimsuits, and shorts or leggings. I didn't have those, so I ended up wearing pajamas (short-sleeved & relaxed fit) over my swimsuit, which felt quite silly and embarrassing, especially since it would be captured in photos (though it could make for a funny story). I think it would be wise to consider your outfit if you participate!
もともと、SUP@マングローブとバラス島上陸のシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでいましたが、バラス島周辺のコンディションが悪く、「キャンセルしますか?別のツアーにしますか?」の問い合わせが前日にありました。折角なのでトレッキングとSUP@マングローブでツアーを申し込んだ所、それがもう大正解!インストラクターのマツコさんはまだ来て数ヶ月との事でしたが、西表島の事をよくご存知で、道路工事が途中で中断してしまった話や、ヤマネコの博物館(?)のシュミレーターゲームの話などなど、移動中に小ネタを沢山話してくれました。到着後、皆でポイントまで簡単な山登りをしながら移動。途中、西表島の動植物についても紹介してもらいました。たまたま参加していたメンバーが、私達夫婦を含めて4カップル。離島マスター夫婦、お喋り関西人夫婦(四国)、穏やかだけど気さくに話せる夫婦、とメンバーも皆親しみやすく、飛び込みを始めとしたアクティビティを通じて仲良くなりました。普段寡黙な主人も相当楽しかったようで、飛び込み時にアレンジを加えたり、凄く楽しんでいました。アクティビティ終わりには離島マスター夫婦からおススメの食事処を教えてもらい、早速訪ねてみました。他の夫婦達も離島マスター夫婦から別の離島の話を聞いたりして楽しんでました。本当に最高の思い出をありがとうございました、インストラクターのマツコさん、それぞれの夫婦の皆さま!残りの旅を楽しんでください!
そうだ、あとは、服装ですが、私は水着の上からウェットスーツを着用すると思ったので、水着を着て行ったのですが、装備として渡されるのは、ヘルメットとシューズとジャケットのみなので、皆は水着の上にTシャツやラッシュガード、下はスパッツにハーパンのような格好でした。私はそれらの用意がなかったので、水着の上からパジャマ(半袖&リラコ)を着用して臨みましたが、大分ダサくて恥ずかしかったですし笑、写真にも残ってしまうので(ネタにはなりますが笑)ご参加される際は、格好を考えたほうがいいかもなって思いました。
We participated as a family. My son and I got seasick, and the whole family had to give up on the tour midway. Despite giving up on the tour, we were still able to have lunch, and the follow-up service was very kind.
家族で参加。私と息子が波酔いしてツアーを家族全員途中で断念しました。ツアー断念したにもかかわらず昼食もいただけて、その後の対応もすごく親切にしていただきました。
Snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning.
In the afternoon, we did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding.
It was a full-day course, and it ended so quickly because we had so much fun.
Our guide was Gakki.
Her powerful guidance was at just the right pace—not too fast and not too slow!
Thanks to her, we talked about so many things throughout the day about the ocean and the mangroves, making it an incredibly enjoyable day!
I made great memories on my first visit to Iriomote Island!
朝からバラス島シュノーケリング。
お昼からはマングローブsup。
一日コースでしたが楽しくあっという間に終わりました。
案内してくれたのはガッキーさん。
パワフルな彼女の案内ははやすぎず暇すぎず丁度良いスピードでした!
お陰様で海もマングローブも色んな事を終始お話ししてもらえてめっちゃくちゃ楽しい1日でした!
初めての西表島にいい思い出ができました!
The sea around Balas Island is very beautiful! They also found sea turtles for us and took great photos. I was worried because the children's life jackets seemed old and had parts coming off. I didn't feel very good, possibly because I didn't get along well with the guide.
バラス島周辺の海はとてもキレイです!
海亀もみつけてくださり、写真も上手に撮っていただきました。
子供用のライフジャケットが古いのか、部品がとれていたので心配になりました。ガイドさんと相性が悪かったのか、あまりいい気持ちではいられませんでした。
Thank you for using our services.
この度は、ご利用いただき有難う御座いました。
I signed up for snorkeling, and the visibility was even better than I expected; the time flew by! I was able to see sea turtles, and the staff took photos and sent them to me, so I was satisfied to have those memories captured. When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to sign up again!
シュノーケルを楽しみに申し込みましたが予想以上に透明度がすごく、あっという間の時間でした!ウミガメも見れたし、スタッフの方が写真撮って送ってくれたので思い出を写真で残すことができて満足!石垣島にもう一度くる時はまた申し込みたいなと思います!
The staff were very kind, and I enjoyed both the canoeing in the mangroves and the snorkeling at Balas Island. It was also a stroke of luck to see sea turtles in the coral reef. I didn't expect to get seasick while floating alone during snorkeling, though.
スタッフの方が非常に親切で、マングローブでのカヌー、バラス島のシュノーケリングいずれも楽しませでいただきました。珊瑚礁で海亀が見られたことも幸運でした。1人シュノーケリングで浮かんでいると、波酔いになってしまったのは想定外でしたが
It was a fun time because the staff understood the content. I didn't expect that the experience on the remote island would be so enjoyable and filled with smiles, so I am very grateful. They were also knowledgeable about photo spots and responded very quickly. Thank you for everything!
スタッフさんがコンテンツを理解してるから楽しめる時間でした。離島での体験がこれほど楽しく笑顔で溢れる時間になるとは思っていなかったので、ありがたいことです。写真もフォトスポットをご存知で、とても迅速にご対応いただきました。何から何までありがとうございました!
Unfortunately, Balas Island was underwater, but I was able to see beautiful coral and three sea turtles, which became a great memory. Since there were no other guests besides us, we could enjoy it at our own pace.
However, one thing I was a bit disappointed about was that after the tour, I received photos via LINE, but I had assumed that we would also receive pictures with us in them. Instead, there were only close-up photos of the sea turtles and clownfish, which was a little disappointing. I didn't remember seeing clownfish that day, so I thought, "The ones we took earlier... right? It must be those," and just accepted it.
残念ながらバラス島は海の中でしたが、
きれいな珊瑚とウミガメを3匹も見ることができて
いい思い出になりました。
私達の他にお客さんがいなかったので私達のペースで楽しめました。
ただひとつ、ツアー後写真をLINEでいただきましたが、勝手に私達も写ったものをいただけると思ってしまっていたので、ウミガメやカクレクマノミなどお魚のアップの写真のみで少し残念でした。自分たちが写っていないことと当日カクレクマノミを見た覚えがなかったのもあり、「さっき撮ったやつ...なんだよね?きっとそうだよね」と飲み込みました。
I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island. I took the designated ferry at the specified time for the outbound trip and returned on the last ferry at 17:30. The 16:30 ferry would also work, but it might be a bit rushed, so I would recommend the 17:30 one.
The tour itself was amazing!! There were even small children (around 5 years old) participating.
石垣島からの日帰りにて参加
行きは指定の時間のフェリーに乗り
帰りは17:30の最終便に乗りました
16:30の便でも間に合いますがちょっとバタバタするので17:30のがオススメかもしれないです。
ツアー自体は最高でした!!
小さいお子さん(5歳ぐらいの)も参加してました。
It was my first time paddleboarding, and since it was on a river, there was no shaking, so I wasn't scared at all, and it was really fun. I was even able to stand up partway through.
The snorkeling at Balas Island also had high visibility, and I was able to see plenty of fish with just a snorkel.
I highly recommend it.
初サップ、川なので揺れず、怖くなく、とても楽しかったです。途中から立つこともできました。
バラス島シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、シュノーケルでも十分魚が見れました。
オススメです。
I participated in Gakki's tour. She shared many interesting stories about Iriomote Island, and she was incredibly beautiful and cute. Her sense of photography was also outstanding, with all the pictures being gorgeous! I didn't go to the cave, so I can't comment on that, but I think choosing snorkeling was definitely the right decision, as I was able to swim in the beautiful sea that I had seen in stories, and I was so excited! I even got to meet Nemo! The mangroves were so much fun... I want to stay overnight on Iriomote Island next time! Thank you very much!
ガッキーのツアーに参加しました
西表島のおもしろいお話をたくさんしてくれて、とにかく美人で可愛い
そして写真のセンスも抜群で綺麗な写真ばかりでした!
洞窟には行っていないのでわかりませんがシュノーケリングにして大正解だったと思うくらい、お話で見るような綺麗な海を泳ぐことができて大興奮でした!ニモにも会えました!
マングローブも楽しすぎて楽しすぎて…
また今度は泊まりで西表島に行きたいと思います!
ありがとうございました!
I participated in a one-day snorkeling tour to Balas Island and Hatoma Island. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Unfortunately, we couldn't access Hatoma Island due to COVID, but the harbor was already a lovely spot. The lunch bento was amazing, with perfectly seasoned rice balls! It was a small group tour with a wonderful guide captain. I would love to join again!!
*Make sure to use the restroom beforehand!! Or a portable toilet is a must!*
バラス島と鳩間島の一日シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。海がとにかく美しくて、検討している方はぜひ行ってほしい。残念ながら、鳩間島はコロナのため立ち入りできなかったのですが船着場がすでに素敵な島でした。お昼のお弁当は、めちゃくちゃちょうどいい塩加減のおにぎりで最高でした!素敵なガイドの船長と少人数のでのツアーでした。また参加したいです!!
※トイレは事前に済ませておきましょう!!もしくはポータブルトイレ必須です!
Mammoth Tour Company. Everything is messy. There are too many inefficiencies in the operations, and the quality of the guides is terrible. They advertise on their website that you can visit three places for 15,000 yen, but in reality, it's only two. I do not recommend this at all. I think it's better to go with a privately operated guide.
マンモスツアー会社。全てが雑。オペレーションも無駄が多いし、ガイドの質が悪すぎる。15000円で3つ行けるとホームページに書いておきながら実際は二つとかあり得ない。全くオススメしません。個人経営のガイドの方がいいと思います。
Thank you very much for using Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience caused by the inappropriate behavior of our guide.
Regarding Barasu Island, it has recently become very small, and there are days when landing is not possible.
We informed customers in advance and are offering a plan that includes two tours: SUP/canoeing on the Kurara River and snorkeling around Barasu Island, instead of a set plan that includes landing on Barasu.
Both plans are priced at 15,000 yen, and we sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings.
This is due to our lack of training in operations and prior announcements, and we apologize once again.
Moving forward, we will review our management system to ensure all customers are satisfied.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

この度は西表島 ADVENTURE PiPiをご利用いただき誠にありがとうございます。
担当ガイドの不適切な対応によりお客様にご不快な思い亜をさせてしまったことを深くお詫び申し上げます。
バラス島に関しましては、昨今非常に小さくなってきており、上陸することができない日程がございます。
事前にお客様にお伝えし、バラス上陸を含む3ツアーのセットプランではなく、クーラ川でのSUP/カヌーとバラス島周辺でのシュノーケリングがセットになった2ツアーのプランでご案内しております。
どちらのプランに関しても値段は15,000円となりますので、誤解を招いてしまい大変申し訳ございません。
オペレーション、事前のアナウンスを含め弊社の教育不足であり重ねてお詫び申し上げます。
今後はすべてのお客様に満足いただけるよう、管理体制の見直しを行っていきます。
この度は貴重なご意見をいただき誠にありがとうございました。

A couple in their 70s has been snorkeling every year, wondering how long they can continue. The experienced guide, who is also a seasoned yachtsman, made us feel safe while snorkeling. He accurately took us to four different spots, and we had an amazing time encountering turtles. It looks like we’ll be able to do it again next year! (laughs)
70も超えたおじんとおばぁが、いつまでできるかと毎年シュノーケルしてますが、熟練したガイドさん、聞けば、ヨットマンでもあり経験豊富で、安心してシュノーケルができ、ポイントを的確に4箇所させていただき、亀との遭遇など最高に楽しませてくれました。来年もできそうです(笑)
On my second visit to Iriomote Island, I participated in a long-awaited snorkeling tour around Barasu Island and the surrounding coral reefs. The sea was so clear that I could see the coral reefs from the boat, and I enjoyed the beautiful blue and green corals along with a variety of tropical fish. I was also able to see sea turtles up close, and they were incredibly cute. I definitely want to go again! ☺️
2回目の西表島来訪で念願のバラス島と周辺の珊瑚礁シュノーケリングツアーに参加。
珊瑚礁が船の上から覗いても見えるくらい透き通った海で、青や緑色の綺麗な珊瑚と色とりどりの熱帯魚を楽しむことができました。
海亀も近くで見ることもでき、超可愛かったです。また絶対行きたい☺️
In the morning, I participated in a snorkeling activity, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves!
The snorkeling was amazing, with beautiful fish and coral. Even as a near first-timer, I was able to enjoy it easily thanks to the life jacket. We swam at two spots, including Baras Island, so I got to see various underwater scenery, and I was deeply moved when I saw a sea turtle swimming up close at the end!
In the afternoon, the mangrove experience was great too. They carefully taught us how to paddle and ride, making it easy for beginners like me! I felt connected to nature in a way I usually can't, and I was healed by the natural plants and animals around the Kuura Falls!
Overall, I think it was a truly fulfilling tour that filled my heart throughout the day! The guide's explanations and the many photos we received afterward became wonderful memories.
I joined this tour as a solo traveler on a tight schedule, but the other participants and the guide were so kind that I was able to enjoy it fully on my own! Thank you very much!
午前中にシュノーケリング、午後からはマングローブでSUPというアクティビティツアーでした!
シュノーケリングは魚もサンゴもすごくキレイで、ほぼ初体験に近い私でもライフジャケットのおかげで難なく楽しめました。バラス島を含めて2か所のポイントを泳げたので色んな水中の景色が見れたのと、最後にすごく近くでウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることが出来たのでとても感動しました!
午後からのマングローブも、始めに乗り方漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくれたので初めてでも簡単に乗れました!
普段見ることのできないような大自然を感じることができ、クーラの滝にも自然の動植物にも癒やされました!
1日通して本当に心が満たされたツアーだったと思います!ガイドさんの説明や、ツアー後にたくさんもらえる写真もとても思い出になりました。
今回は弾丸の一人旅で参加したツアーでしたが、他の参加者やガイドさんも優しくて一人でも充分に楽しめました!ありがとうございました!
I was guided with some little information about Iriomote Island and explanations about nature, which made the experience fresh as I could understand more about the island! Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle while snorkeling, so I am very satisfied.
西表島のプチ情報や、自然についての解説をしながら案内してくれたので、西表島のことを理解しながら体験できるというのが新鮮でした!
またシュノーケリングでは運良くカメくんにも出会えたのでとても満足しています。
In the morning, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island. Our guide, Kaz, was very kind and explained everything in detail. There were two snorkeling spots, and at the first spot, we saw plenty of coral and fish. The next stop at Barasu Island had an astonishing level of transparency, and we were lucky enough to land there, which was breathtaking! Even though I participated without a camera, Kaz kindly sent us photos later, which was very appreciated.
After our lunch break, we experienced canoeing through the mangroves. We got off partway and took a short walk to a waterfall, which was refreshing. Our guide, Shimicchan, was all smiles and shared interesting information about Iriomote Island. He also took photos for us here.
On the way back, we were able to take a shower in a large changing room at the office, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful guides!
朝はバラス島でのシュノーケリング。担当のカズさんはとても親切で、丁寧にいろいろと説明してくれました。シュノーケリングのポイントは2カ所で、最初のポイントはサンゴやサカナがいっぱいみれました。つぎのバラス島はびっくりするくらい透明度で運よく上陸でき、景色に感動!カメラなしで参加しても後からガズさんか写真を送ってくれたので、非常にありがたい。
お昼休憩のあとはマングローブの間をカヌーで体験。途中で降りて、滝までちょっと歩き、リフレッシュ。担当のしみっちゃんは笑顔全開でガイドしてくれて、西表島のことを色々話してくれておもしろかったです。ここでも写真を撮ってくれたました。
帰りはオフィスで大きな更衣室でシャワー浴びれで最初から最後まで至れり尽くせり。とてもすばらしいガイドさんたちに感謝でいっぱいです。
After 47 years, I came to Iriomote Island, and even at 67 years old, it still excites me. Swimming with the turtles was amazing. The coral at Hatoma Island is just as wonderful as it was in the past. It took me back to my younger days. I will come again. Thank you very much to the staff (Mr. Iizuka).
47年ぶりに西表島に来て 67才成っても 何時までも
ワクワクさせてくれる西表島
カメと一緒に泳ぐ事ができサイコー
鳩間島のサンゴも昔と変わらずサイコー
若い時にタイムバックさせて戴いました
また来ます
スタッフ(飯塚さん)本当にありがとうございました。
I experienced SUP for the first time and it was so much fun! More than anything, our guide, Tacky, was incredibly thorough in his explanations. The conversations during the bus ride and throughout the experience were entertaining, making the time enjoyable from the start! During the experience, he shared information about the plants, and whenever we observed something curiously, he quickly explained it, which made me happy to learn more about Iriomote Island! At the end, when the waves turned against us and we were struggling to move forward, he immediately came to our aid and helped us, allowing us to finish comfortably. He was so cool! His attentiveness, communication, and consideration for others were truly wonderful, and he was a guide who didn’t seem like the youngest at all! I wish him all the best in his future endeavors! Thank you so much!
初めてSUPを体験しましたが凄く楽しかったです♪
何よりガイドしてくれたタッキーさんが凄く丁寧に説明してくださって、バス内でのトーク、体験中の会話が面白くて移動の時から楽しい時間を過ごすことができました! 体験中も植物の話や、私達が不思議そうに観察していたらすぐに説明してくれて西表島のことも色々知れて嬉しかったです!
最後波が逆になってて中々進まずで困ってたらすぐに助けてくれて運んでくれて安心して最後までできました♪
かっこよかったです!
案内の丁寧さ、コミュニケーション、周りの人への気配りが凄く素敵で、最年少とは思えないくらいのガイドさんでした♪
これからのご活躍応援してます!
本当にありがとうございました♪
The mangrove canoeing was very enjoyable, and exploring the wild cave was a refreshing experience that I wouldn't normally get to do! The last stop, Baras Island, was sunny, and I was able to take many beautiful photos♡ Thanks to Teru-chan's cheerful guidance, I had a great time! Thank you!
マングローブのカヌーもとても楽しく、ワイルドすぎる鍾乳洞の探検も普段できない探検でとても新鮮でした!最後のバラス島は晴れて素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただきました♡
てるちゃんの明るい案内で楽しく体験できました!ありがとうございました!
It was a canoe course around Yufu Island. There were more trees than I expected, and it was challenging to paddle through the jungle, haha. Not only during the canoeing but also during the car ride, I enjoyed the discussions about the wildlife of Iriomote and how the ditches and roads are designed for them! I also received recommendations for good restaurants in Ishigaki and Iriomote!
カヌーと由布島のコースでした。
思ったよりも木がたくさんあり、ジャングルの中をカヌーで進むのは難しかったです笑
カヌーの時だけでなく、移動中の車で西表の生き物の話・そのために側溝や道が工夫されていることなどお話いただいてたのしかったです!
石垣、西表のおすすめのご飯屋さんなども教えていただけました!
Due to the rain that fell from the night before, the river swelled! The original plan was quickly revised to include cave exploration and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The cave exploration was as thrilling as what you see on TV! It was my first experience wading into the river up to my chin. As for SUP, I struggled a bit during practice, but once I tried it, it was easy and fun! The water submersion after the battle was also a memorable experience, haha. I'm grateful to the staff who worked hard to make the unpredictable weather enjoyable! I had a great time.
夜から降った雨のため、川増水!当初の計画は急遽組み直され、洞窟探検とsupに。洞窟探検はテレビで見るような迫力!顎まで川に浸かっての探索は初体験です。supは、練習はおぼつかなかったけど、やってみたら簡単で楽しかった!
闘いの末の水没も記念です笑
天候なんていう予測不可能な問題を一生懸命楽しませようと尽力してくれたスタッフに感謝です!とても楽しかったです
