All Reviews for Okinawa Snorkeling

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

Smartphones are generally not allowed, but if you choose to bring one at your own risk, a waterproof, neck-hanging type might be a good option. However, the staff will take photos for you and provide the data later, so it's okay if you don't bring one.

スマホは基本的に持ち込み不可ですが、自己責任で持ち込むのであれば防水、首から掛けれるタイプがいいかもです。
ただ、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださり、後でデータでくださるので、なくても大丈夫でした。

I received a message the day before departure that landing on Barasu Island might be difficult due to tide conditions, and since the weather forecast predicted rain, I honestly felt a bit disappointed about participating. On the day of the trip, it started to rain while we were on the ferry heading to Iriomote Island. We listened to the explanation in the welcoming car, and then we started canoeing in the rain. There were three women in their 50s on this trip, and we were in a three-person canoe. Everyone was a beginner and felt anxious, but our guide, Ryusei, provided thorough explanations, and we gradually got the hang of it, making our way through the mangrove forest. The trekking to the waterfall was thrilling as we crossed a river that had risen due to the rain, and we arrived at the waterfall. We took photos in front of a rare waterfall that looked different from usual ones. We also enjoyed paddling back in the canoe. In the afternoon, we were able to land on Barasu Island, which we had given up on, and at two snorkeling spots, we saw wonderful coral reefs and tropical fish. Ryusei was cheerful and attentive throughout, which made us feel really safe and able to enjoy ourselves. For those worried about the weather, I highly recommend this tour as you can have a great time even in the rain!

出発前日に潮位の関係でバラス島上陸が難しいかもしれないとのご連絡を頂き、また、天気予報も雨だったので正直、少しがっかりした気持ちでの参加でした。当日はフェリーで西表島へ向かう途中から雨。お迎えの車内で説明を聞き、雨の中カヌーがスタート。50代女3人旅で、カヌーも3人乗り。皆初体験で不安がありましたが、ガイドのりゅうせい君が丁寧に説明して下さり、次第にコツを掴み、マングローブの森の中を進む事が出来ました。滝までのトレッキングは、雨で増水した川を横切ったりとスリル満点の中滝に到着。普段の滝とは様子が違うレアな滝の前で写真撮影。帰りのカヌーも楽しく漕ぎました。午後のシュノーケリングは、諦めていたバラス島にも上陸出来、2カ所のポイントで、素晴らしい珊瑚礁と熱帯魚を見ることが出来ました。りゅうせい君が終始明るく細かく声をかけてくれたので、本当に安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。天候で悩んでる方には雨でも全く心配なく楽しめるツアーなので、オススメしたいです！

In a word, I highly recommend this fun-filled tour.

It was my first time seeing mangroves, and my wife and I leisurely paddled along in a canoe. The guide was fantastic and took a lot of photos for us. It rained a bit, just a light drizzle, but it added to the nice atmosphere.

For lunch, we went to a local restaurant at our own expense (as mentioned in the tour description). I'm glad I brought cash.

In the afternoon, we took a boat to Balas Island for snorkeling. Since we wore life jackets, we didn't sink. The water was clear, there were corals, and we even saw fish from the movie Finding Nemo. The guide took many photos during this time as well. I borrowed prescription goggles for snorkeling, which allowed me to see the fish clearly. I also rented a wetsuit, which helped keep me warm when returning to the boat after snorkeling.

Overall, the guide was very enthusiastic and provided great guidance while taking photos, making the experience really enjoyable.

一言で言えば、楽しさ満載のツアーでオススメ。

マングローブは、自分は見るのは初めてで、妻との二人乗りカヌーでゆっくりと進む。ガイドさんはすごく良くて、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。雨は若干降っていて、少しの小雨程度でしたが、それがまたいい雰囲気を出していました。

ランチは、自腹で(そういう説明がツアーに書いてある)で、地元のお店に入りました。現金持っていってよかったです。

午後は、ボートでバラス島に行ってスノーケリング。ライフジャケットを付けているので、沈みません。また、水も綺麗で、サンゴもあり、映画のニモもいました。この時もガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。　　
あと、自分はスノーケリングの時は度付きのゴーグルを借りました。はっきり魚が見えてよかったです。あと、ウェットスーツも借りました。その方が、スノーケリング終わってからボートに戻っても寒くないですね。


全体として、ガイドさんがとても楽しそうに色々案内してくれて、写真を撮ってくれるのですごくよかったです。

The guide was amazing! They were interesting and provided detailed information about the island, which was very educational! I want to go again!

ガイドの方が最高でした！
面白くて、島のことも詳しく教えてくれるので
とても勉強になりました！
また行きたいです！

Canoeing gracefully down the river while exploring the jungle! I was worried because I brought my 67-year-old mother, but thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy it safely!

Our guide, Taki, was so lively and calm, and I was surprised to learn he was only 19! He kept the conversation going on the bus.

When we arrived at Iriomote Island, it was raining, so I thought we wouldn't be able to see the stars or enjoy the ocean, but this jungle tour was actually wonderful because of the rain! We missed the morning session due to a mix-up on our part, but they gave us a discount, which was fantastic!

河を優雅にカヌーで漕ぎながらジャングル散策！67歳の母親を連れてたので不安でしたがガイドさんの引率のおかげで無事に楽しめました！
ガイドのタッキーさん、イケイケで落ち着いてはる人やのに19歳の若さで驚き！
バス内でもトークぐるんぐるん回してはりました。

西表島に着いたときは雨だから星も見れないし海も楽しめないな〜と意気消沈してましたが、このジャングルツアーは雨だからこそ趣があっていい！！
午前中はこちらの手違いで遅刻して参加できませんでしたが、割引もしてくださり最高です！

During Golden Week, I used the service while wearing a mask as a COVID-19 precaution. The bus was full, but I think it wouldn't be a concern if you had been vaccinated.

Due to the weather making the sea a bit rough, instead of snorkeling, we rode water buffalo. (I received a confirmation about the change the day before, and details were sent via email.) They adjusted the schedule to avoid wasting time, considering the large number of tourists.

The trekking experience, where we changed our shoes, allowed us to feel the river's water temperature on our skin, bringing back the joy of childhood. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and I was nervous about falling in, but sitting cross-legged while paddling let me enjoy the scenery in detail, making it a wonderful time! I was advised not to bring my smartphone, so I left it behind. Instead, they took photos at key moments and sent them to me via LINE. Such great service! In other countries, you would have to pay for this.

Even when we were quite behind during the canoeing with kids, they kindly chatted with us to lighten the mood, creating great memories. Everyone was cheerful and pleasant. During the bus ride, I could hear interesting stories about the characteristics of Iriomote Island and the local lifestyle. After a day of fun, I slept soundly until the next day.

GW,マスク着用コロナ対策中の利用でした。
バスは満員でしたが、ワクチン接種していたら気にならないと思います。　

ツアー内容は天候で海が少し荒れたため、シュノーケリングの代わりに水牛に乗りました。
(前日に振替確認の連絡あり、メールでも詳細が届きました。)
旅行客が多い中、無駄な時間を作らないよう調整してスケジュールを進めてくれました。

靴を履き替えて体験したトレッキングは川の水温を肌で感じることができて、子供の頃に戻ったような楽しさでした。
サップも初体験で落ちるんじゃないかとドキドキしていましたが、胡座すわりで漕ぐと周りの風景が細かい部分まで楽しめてとてもよい時間でした！
スマホは持っていかないようアドバイスがあったので置いていきました。変わりに要所要所で写真を撮ってくれてラインで送ってくれました。すごいサービス精神！海外だったら完璧に買わなきゃいけないところです。

子連れカヌーでかなり出遅れていたときも世間話をして和ませてくれたり親切にしてもらい、いい思い出になりました。皆さん明るくて感じよかったです。
バス移動中に西表島の特徴やどんな生活をしているかを興味深く聞けます。
１日遊んで翌日までぐっすり寝れます。

Teru was amazing! From the moment we met at the port, he provided detailed advice after the tour, which made me feel reassured and trustworthy right away. The canoeing in the mangroves, which I was worried about due to the rain, turned out to be no problem at all! In fact, the rain added to the atmosphere, allowing us to experience Iriomote Island authentically. Teru explained everything at a great pace, and I truly felt supported. I'm really glad I participated!

担当のTERUさんが最高でした！港でお会いした時からツアー後の相談なども細かく乗っていただき、すぐに安心・信頼できました。雨で心配していたマングローブでのカヌーも、まったく問題なかったです！むしろ雨の方が雰囲気が出ており西表島らしく過ごすことができました。TERUさんはテンポ良くいろいろ説明してくださり、本当に頼もしかったです。本当に参加してよかったと思いました！

Canoeing was a first experience for both of us, but thanks to our guide Teru, we were able to enjoy it while fully appreciating the great outdoors. Also, on Yufuin Island, we enjoyed a leisurely view while riding in a water buffalo cart accompanied by wonderful singing.

カヌーは2人とも初体験でしたが、ガイドのテルさんに丁寧に教えていただき、大自然を満喫しながら楽しむことが出来ました。
また、由布島は素敵な歌声と共に水牛車でのんびり景色を楽しめました。

Despite making a reservation the night before, I received a courteous confirmation. I couldn't bring my phone when visiting the mangroves, but they took photos and sent them to me via LINE. They also shared various stories about Iriomote Island, which helped me learn a lot about the island itself. Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

前日夜に予約したにも関わらず、予約までご丁寧に連絡をいただけました。
マングローブに行く時に携帯は持っていけませんでしたが、写真を撮ってLINEに転送してくれました。
西表島のお話も色々教えていただき、島自体を知れたことがとても良かったです。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！

I participated in a SUP and ox cart tour. The guide was very cheerful and friendly, which made me feel relaxed and allowed me to enjoy the activities without hesitation. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were many discrepancies between the information I found online and the actual situation, so I recommend asking the guide about the latest information on tourist spots and restaurants in Iriomote Island and Ishigaki Island.

I was a beginner at SUP, but the guide kindly taught me how to stand up, and I was able to take many wonderful photos. The spots where we took pictures were beautiful and known only to local guides. The ox cart tour, including the visit to Yufu Island, went smoothly, and thanks to the efficient movement throughout the tour, we had more playtime than I expected, which was fantastic.

When I visit again, I will definitely rely on this company and the guide! Thank you!

SUPと牛車のツアーに参加しました。
ガイドの方はとても明るい方で気さくに話しかけてくれるので気持ちがほぐれてアクティビティも気兼ねなく楽しめました。コロナの影響でネットで調べた情報と違うことが多いので、西表島や石垣島の観光スポットや飲食店などをガイドの方に聞いてみて最新情報を知っておくことをお勧めします。
SUPは初心者でしたが立って乗ることが出来るぐらい親切に教えてもらい、素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました。現地のガイドの方しか知らないスポットで撮ってもらえたのでとても綺麗でした。
牛車も由布島観光を含めて滞りなく進み、ツアーを通してテキパキと移動して頂いたことで遊びの時間が思ったよりも多く取れて最高でした。
またお伺いする時はこちらの会社とガイドさんに頼むと思います！ありがとうございました！

Canoeing in the mangroves was very pleasant and allowed me to experience something out of the ordinary; it was fun. The day before, we were unable to land on Barasu Island due to rough seas, so we quickly switched to a tour of Yubu Island, which was also enjoyable as we leisurely explored while riding water buffalo, creating great memories. The guide was also very friendly and engaging, which was nice. I recommend bringing a change of pants and underwear, as your bottom and lower legs will get wet while canoeing. It was also great to be able to take a shower afterward. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

マングローブの中でのカヌーはとても気持ちが良く非日常感を味わえ楽しかったです。
前日にバラス島への上陸が波風の影響で出来なくなり急遽由布島観光のツアーに代替となりましたが水牛に乗ってゆっくり観光するのも楽しく良い思い出になりました。
ガイドの方も楽しくお話ししてくださる方で良かったです。
カヌーはお尻や膝下が濡れるのでズボンや下着の着替えを持って行くことをおすすめします。
カヌー後にシャワーを浴びれたのも良かったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

It was my first time on Iriomote Island, and thanks to our tour guide Tacky, we had a fun day. My husband and I chose canoeing, but I think stand-up paddleboarding would be great for those with more stamina. They also took photos and sent them to us for free! Due to the weather, we couldn't go to Barasu Island, but it was nice that they suggested a combination with another tour the day before. Since there are no transportation options like taxis, they kindly stopped by a supermarket and recommended delicious restaurants before taking us back to the hotel, which was really helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour company when visiting Iriomote Island.

初めての西表島でしたが、ツアーガイドのタッキーのお陰で楽しく1日を過ごせました。
私達夫婦はカヌーにしましたが、体力がある方ならSUPもいいと思います。
写真も撮ってくれて無料で送ってくれます！
天候の関係でバラス島には行けませんでしたが、前日に他のツアーの組み合わせを提案して頂きよかったです。
タクシーなどの交通手段がない為、ホテルに戻る前にスーパーなども寄ってくれたり美味しいご飯のお店なども親切にしてもらえて本当に助かりました。
西表島に行く際はおすすめしたいツアー会社です。

I participated in a night tour and mangrove SUP at Pipi, as well as a tour of Yubu Island!! ✨ Our guide, Ryusei, was kind and funny, providing detailed information about Iriomote Island along the way, which was really enlightening—there's so much you wouldn't know unless you join the tour! I'm really glad I did it! ♡

The night tour was amazing with so many creatures to see, and it had a completely different atmosphere compared to Iriomote Island during the day! (*^^*) I was super excited to see animals like coconut crabs, habu snakes, fireflies, and owls, which I’ve never seen on the mainland! (*^^*)

The next day's SUP was also wonderful, surrounded by impressive mangroves that felt like something out of a Studio Ghibli film. Ryusei kindly taught us how to paddle, so I was able to fully enjoy the mangroves while having fun on the SUP! ♡

Riding a water buffalo to cross to Yubu Island was thrilling, and seeing the plants and butterflies on Yubu Island was the best!

Even though I met the other participants for the first time, we all had a great time together, which is the charm of travel tours, right? ♡ It was so much fun!!! Thank you for the two wonderful days! ♡

pipiさんでナイトツアーとマングローブでSUP、由布島のツアーに参加しました！！✨
ガイドのりゅうせい君が優しくおもしろく
ガイドしてくれて、道中、西表島の事を詳しく教えてくださり、へぇ〜〜！！！
とためになり、ツアーに参加しないとわからない事がたくさんあるなぁ♡やって良かったと思いました♡

ナイトツアーは生き物がたくさん見れて
お昼間の西表島とは全然違う雰囲気があって楽しかったですー！！(*^^*)
ヤシガニ、ハブ、ホタル、フクロウなどなど本土では見たことない生き物ばっかりで大興奮でした！(*^^*)


翌日のSUPもジブリにでてきそうな迫力のあるマングローブで自然に癒やされ、
りゅうせい君が優しく乗り方も教えてくれたのでマングローブを満喫しながら
SUPも楽しめました♡


由布島も水牛に乗って渡るのがもうワクワクでしたし、由布島の植物や蝶など見れて最高でした！！

同じツアーの方々とも初対面なのにみんなでわいわいできるのが旅のツアーの醍醐味ですよね♡楽しかったです！！！
2日間ありがとうございました♡

First time trying canoeing.
I participated with my wife in a two-person canoe.
The distance for canoeing felt shorter than I expected (it might have just felt that way because it was so much fun).
They provided a thorough explanation about the mangroves.
They also took some great photos!
The trekking to the waterfall took about 30 minutes.
There were no particularly steep paths, so we climbed up easily.

For snorkeling, we first went to Barasu Island.
Since we arrived about an hour and a half after low tide, it was mostly underwater, which was disappointing...
We moved to a different spot and encountered beautiful fish and turtles!
We went snorkeling at two locations.

It was a lot of fun.

初めてカヌーに挑戦
嫁と二人乗りで参加しました。
カヌーは思ったより距離が短かった印象
(楽しすぎて一瞬に感じただけかもしれません)
マングローブの説明など丁寧にしてくれました。
写真もいい感じに撮ってくれました！
滝までのトレッキングは30分ほど。
特に険しい道もなくサクサク登れました。

シュノーケルはまずバラス島へ。
干潮時刻から時刻が1時間半ほど過ぎていたので、
ほぼ水の中で残念。。。
違うポイントへ移動しきれいな魚とカメに出会えました！
2箇所でシュノーケリングしました。

楽しかったです。

Paddling through the mangrove-filled river on a stand-up paddleboard was a lot of fun. The weather was great, and the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees was beautiful. The gentleman took many photos for us, and every picture turned out beautifully, leaving us very satisfied. Interacting with the water buffalo named Rui on Yufujima, being able to take photos, and enjoying delicious gelato were all wonderful experiences, making for a very enjoyable day. Thank you very much!

マングローブが生い茂る川の中をsupを漕いだのがとても楽しかったです。天気がとてもよく、木漏れ日がとても綺麗でした。お兄さんに写真をたくさん撮っていただいて、どの写真も写りがきれいで大満足です。由布島で水牛のルイくんと触れ合いしたこと、写真を撮れたこと、美味しいジェラートが食べられたこと、どれもよくてとても楽しい1日でした。ありがとうございました。

This experience took place in bad weather. Canoeing in the rain was enjoyable, especially since we were among the mangroves where the rain didn't bother us at all! It was very disappointing that we couldn't land on Barasu Island due to the bad weather, but the cave exploration in such challenging conditions was thrilling, and I'm glad I participated. I also visited a tourist limestone cave in Ishigaki, but it was completely different from this experience. If you're coming to Iriomote, I highly recommend immersing yourself in nature. The guide was very kind and constantly checked on us throughout the experience. I would love to participate again when I come back to Iriomote.

今回は悪天候の中の体験でした。雨の中のカヌーでしたがマングローブの中だと雨も気にならずに十分楽しめました！悪天候のためバラス島に上陸出来なかったのはとても残念でしたが、それでも足元が悪い中の洞窟探検はスリル満点で参加して良かったです。観光用の鍾乳洞も石垣島で行きましたがそれとは全然別物でした。せっかく西表に来たなら自然いっぱいの体験をおすすめします。始終声をかけてくださりガイドさんもとても優しかったです。また西表に来た時は参加したいなと思います。

My first SUP experience. Paddling through the mangroves was very pleasant and a fun experience. The cave exploration and the waterfall were also great. It was a pity that the weather wasn't very good, and I couldn't go to Baras Island. Thank you very much.

初めてのsup。マングローブの中をsupで通り、とても気持ちがよく、楽しい体験でした。鍾乳洞探検や、滝もとても良かったです。
天気があまり良くなくて、バラス島へ行くことが出来ず残念でした。ありがとうございました。

I had an amazing time! The weather was great, and the ocean was even more beautiful than I imagined! I was so happy to have so many beautiful photos taken.

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
天気もよくて、海も想像以上に綺麗でした！
写真もいっぱい綺麗に撮ってくださって幸せでした

The sea was very clear, and I was able to see many fish, and the coral was beautiful! The instructor was very kind and taught us well, and they took many beautiful photos for us, which made for wonderful memories! Thank you very much! ☺︎

海も透明度が高く，魚たちたくさん見れたし，サンゴもとても綺麗でした！
インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくださり，写真もたくさん綺麗な写真を撮っていただいて，とても良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました☺︎

It was disappointing that we couldn't go snorkeling at Balas Island due to the rain and wind from the previous day, but I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to the flexible changes made to the itinerary! Our guide, Mr. Yabuue, had a bright and fun atmosphere, and it was a lot of fun walking together. I definitely want to visit Balas Island next time!

前日の雨と風の影響でバラス島シュノーケリングが出来なかったのが残念でしたが、柔軟にツアー内容を変更してくださり、楽しむことができました！
ガイドの藪上さんは明るく楽しい雰囲気で、一緒に歩いていてとても楽しかったです。
次こそバラス島にも行きたいです！

I booked the Iriomote Island Mangrove Kayak & Barasu Island Snorkeling one-day course. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, it was changed to a tour of water buffaloes on Yubu Island. We went kayaking through the mangrove forest and walked underwater to see the waterfall. Both the mangroves and the waterfall were wonderful, but it was very cold, and it would have been nice to have been provided with wetsuits. It would have been even better if we could have gone deeper into the mangrove forest with the kayak.

The water buffalo tour on Yubu Island was surprisingly enjoyable, as the buffalo were cuter than I imagined. The guide was kind and gentle, and took many beautiful photos for us. Along the way, we unexpectedly encountered a very rare mantis shrimp, and it was impressive to see the guide more excited than the tour guests. Overall, it was a satisfying tour, aside from the weather!

西表島マングローブカヤック&バラス島シュノーケリング1日コースを申し込みました。
残念ながら荒天のため、バラス島から由布島水牛観光に変更になりました。
マングローブ原生林をカヤックと水中を歩いて滝を見に行きました。マングローブも滝もすばらしかったですが、とても気温が低く、ウエットスーツを貸していただけるとよかったです。カヤックも原生林の奥深くまで行けるともっとよかったです。
由布島の水牛観光は、想像以上に牛が可愛く行けてよかったです。ガイドさんも親切で優しく、綺麗な写真をたくさん撮っていただきました。道中、大変珍しいシャコと偶然遭遇し、ガイドさんがツアー客以上に興奮していたのが印象的でした。天気以外は満足のツアー！
