In my 60s, I was worried about my physical stamina, but the guide was always attentive and walked at my pace. During the canoeing and trekking, they provided information about various plants and animals. I was particularly impressed by the sagari flower, which blooms at night and wilts by morning, floating by the waterside.
The waterfall was beautiful, and the water in the basin felt great. They allowed plenty of time for us to enjoy it, and the homemade bento we had there was exceptional.
They also took more photos than I had imagined. Families with children or those hesitant about strenuous trekking should definitely choose this option.
60代、体力にも自信がなく心配でしたが、ガイドさんが常に気にしてくれて、私のペースに合わせて歩いてくれました。カヌー、トレッキングの最中にも色々な動植物の案内をしてくれました。中でも夜咲いて朝までに散るさがり花が水辺に浮いてて感激。
滝は美しい、滝壺の水は気持ち良い、時間もたっぷり取ってくれて、そこで食べる手作り感満載のお弁当は格別でした。
写真も想像以上にたくさん撮ってくれていました。
子どもさん連れのご家族や、ハードなトレッキングに躊躇している方は、ぜひこのメニューを選んでください。
The next day, I was sore all over.
翌日は全身筋肉痛です。
In a word, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I came. First of all, we were blessed with great weather, and the trekking went smoothly. There were some steeper and more challenging parts than I expected, but I was able to push through to the end thanks to the two guides and the other participants in the tour, who made it enjoyable. Soaking in the waterfall pool felt amazing! I definitely recommend this experience to everyone else. Thank you!
一言で言うととても楽しく来てよかった、と言う感じです。まずとてもお天気に恵まれ、トレッキングも順調に進みました。思ったより急で険しい所もあり大変でしたが、ガイドさん二人と同ツアー参加の方と楽しく頑張れたので最後までやり抜けれました。
滝壷での水浸かりはとても気持ちよかったです!ぜひ他の皆様にも体験をおすすめします。
ありがとうございました。
I think it's a good idea to bring a hat and sunglasses.
帽子とサングラスは持って行かれた方がいいと思います。
ゲコさま
先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。高評価のレビューまでいただき、感謝しております。
晴天に恵まれ、5月とはいえかなり暑い中でのカヌー、トレッキングでしたので、最後まで楽しんでいただけたご様子に私たちもほっとしております。滝うえからの絶景や滝つぼでの爽快感は訪れた人にしか味わえない特別な体験だったのではないかと思います。
西表島にはまだまだたくさんの魅力がありますので、機会がありましたらぜひまたお越しください。
またお会いできる日のことを楽しみにしております。
ありがとうございました。

Iriomote Island was amazing! I received communication from them the day before, and on the day of the tour, there was a guide, canoeing instructions, and explanations about the mangroves and other ecosystems, making for a fun and valuable experience. Canoeing while looking at the greenery and the sea was fantastic. The water buffalo cart on Yubu Island and the botanical garden were truly enjoyable. I also visited Taketomi Island, but the experiences and sightseeing on Iriomote Island were outstanding. Iriomote Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it's difficult to explore on your own, so it's efficient to go with a guide. I appreciate the transportation to the port as well.
西表島、サイコーでした!前日からご連絡も頂き、当日のガイドやカヌーのレクチャー、マングローブ等の生態の説明もあり楽しく貴重な時間でした。緑や海を見ながら カヌーは、サイコーでした。由布島の水牛車、植物園と本当に楽しかったです。竹富島も行きましたが、西表島の体験や観光が素晴らしかったです。西表島は世界自然遺産で、個人では難しくガイドさんの案内で回るのが効率的です。港までも送迎、感謝です
Iriomote Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and I think it's best to explore it with someone knowledgeable about the area. I recommend combining activities with sightseeing. Riding a water buffal
西表島は世界自然遺産で、地元に詳しい方と一気に回る方が良いと思う。アクテビティと観光をセットがおすすめです。由布島、水牛車に載って三線聴きながら海を渡るのは非日常感を味わえますよ
I had a great time. If you're going to Iriomote Island, you should definitely do this. However, since there are various tour options available, I recommend considering others as well before making a choice.
Regarding lunch, on other tours, people were enjoying delicious bento boxes or Okinawa soba made by the guides right in front of the waterfall. In this tour, lunch was scheduled after returning home. Personally, I found that to be quite disappointing.
非常に楽しかった。西表島行くならやるべし。
ただ色々なツアーの選択肢があるので他とも検討して選ぶのがおすすめ。
昼ごはんに関して、
他のツアーでは滝を目の前にして、美味しそうな弁当やガイドさんが作った沖縄そば食べていた。
ここのツアーは帰宅してから昼ごはんという流れだった。
私的にはそれが非常に残念だと思いましたり

In mid-May, I participated with my 4-year-old daughter and my husband, making it a family of three. At first, I was a bit worried about whether we could do canoeing and trekking with a small child, but the guide kindly adjusted to my daughter's pace throughout the trip, and the other tour participants were also very considerate of her, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My daughter was so excited to walk through the forest and touch the river water all by herself!
The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many interesting and easy-to-understand stories about the insects we encountered along the way and the nature of Iriomote Island. Even the adults were captivated, making it a fantastic learning and adventure time that was more than just walking.
Additionally, I can't forget the freshly made hot Yaeyama soba that the guide cooked right in front of us using a burner, seasoned with kochujang! The natural setting, the soothing sound of the river, and the delicious broth that soaked into our bodies after the hike were truly exceptional, and our whole family finished it all in no time.
5月中旬に、4歳の娘と夫婦の家族3人で参加しました。
最初は小さな子供連れでカヌーやトレッキングができるか少し不安もありましたが、ガイドの方が終始娘のペースに合わせて優しくリードしてくださり、ご一緒になった他のツアー客の方も、娘のことを親切に気にしてくださり、終始安心して楽しむことができました。娘も自分で一生懸命森の中を歩き、川の水に触れて大はしゃぎでした!
ガイドさんはとても知識が豊富な方で、道中に出会う虫のことや西表島の自然について、フランクでありながらとても分かりやすく興味深いお話をたくさんしてくれました。大人もぐいぐい引き込まれ、ただ歩くだけではない最高の学びと冒険の時間になりました。
また、ランチで川のすぐ目の前でガイドさんがバーナーを使って作ってくださった、出来立て熱々の八重山そばにコーレーグースを入れた味が忘れられません!大自然のロケーション、心地よい川のせせらぎ、そして歩いた後の体に染み渡るお出汁の美味しさは本当に格別で、家族みんなでペロリと完食してしまいました。
Please be careful not to lose your sunglasses.
サングラスは無くさないようにご注意を
I experienced mangroves, SUP, and a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island. The staff were polite and cheerful, providing great guidance, which was very nice. It felt like time flowed slowly, and I was very relaxed. There are also stylish restaurants on Iriomote Island, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch there.
There was about an hour of waiting time until the return ferry, so I hope there will be a smoother ferry option available in the future.
マングローブ、SUP.由布島観光、水牛車 の体験しました。スタッフさんは丁寧で元気よく案内してくれてとてもよかったです。のんびりと時間が流れるようでとても癒されました。西表島におしゃれなレストランもあり、美味しいランチもいただけました。
帰りのフェリーまで1時間くらい待ち時間があったので、もう少しスムーズに帰れるフェリーがあるといいなと思いました。
When canoeing or doing SUP, it's easier to move if you don't bring anything with you.
カヌーやサップやるときは持ち物は何も持って行かない方が動きやすいです。
Yesterday’s canoeing trip was excellent from start to finish. We were met at the port exactly as promised and introduced to our guide, Ryoma. His English was excellent, and he explained everything clearly, making us feel very welcome.
Once we arrived, we got into our canoes and headed down the river. Ryoma was very informative about the local wildlife and nature, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a great time canoeing along the river, and the weather was perfect — sunny with a light breeze.
At the end of the trip, we were taken to shower facilities before being dropped back at the port, which was very convenient. Ryoma also sent us the photos he had taken during the trip, and they were all really high quality.
Overall, the whole experience was perfect and exactly what we had hoped for. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it.

In the morning, I was moved by the great nature while kayaking through the mangroves✨ We entered narrow paths that felt like a maze, which was really interesting! During the free time, including lunch break, the guide introduced us to some recommended shops! After enjoying a leisurely meal, we had plenty of time to take a short stroll around the area! In the afternoon, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island and explored the island on foot🚶. There was just the right amount of free time here too! I had a fulfilling day filled with many first-time experiences!
午前中はマングローブカヤックで、大自然に感動しました✨細い道にも入り、迷路のようで面白かったです!
お昼休憩を含めた自由時間では、ガイドさんがおすすめのお店を紹介していただきました!
ゆっくり食べた後に周辺を少し散策できるくらい、十分に時間がありました!
午後は水牛車に乗って由布島へ行き、島を散策しました🚶ここでもちょうど良い自由時間でした!
初めての体験を沢山して、充実した1日でした!
I was able to see both the mangroves and the sunset, and it was relaxing, calm, and enjoyable! Thank you very much.
マングローブもサンセットも見れて
のんびりゆったりおだやかで楽しかったです!
ありがとうございました。
The guide listened to our wishes attentively, and we were able to fully enjoy the mangroves we love! We also encountered many unique creatures from Iriomote Island, such as the heron and the kingfisher, and the explanations about the island's nature were very interesting. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
ガイドさんが丁寧に希望を聞いてくださり、大好きなマングローブを満喫できました!
ヘラサギやアカショウビンなど、西表島ならではの生き物にもたくさん会えましたし、島の自然についてのご説明もとっても面白かったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございます!
Since it was prohibited to go without a guide starting last March, I had no choice but to participate, but both the canoeing and trekking, as well as the power of the waterfall and our guide, Eri, were all amazing. As a result, I thought the tour wasn't so bad after all.
昨年の3月からガイド無しで行く事が禁止されたので仕方無く参加したのですがカヌーもトレッキングも滝の迫力もガイドのエリさんも最高でした。
結果、ツアーも悪くないなあと思いました。
It was cloudy, but it was actually good for my stamina. Canoeing was a first-time experience for me, and while I thought the trekking distance afterward wasn't long, I had to be careful navigating over the tangled tree roots and around the boulders while going up and down. I was the oldest in the group at 71 years old, but I was surprised to see elementary school kids playing at the base of the Pinai Waterfall when we arrived. The ferry from Ishigaki was canceled at Uehara Port, so we arrived by shuttle bus from Ohara Port, but the Iriomote Island Monsoon team provided safe transportation for us. The guide took photos at various points, including the canoeing spots and the waterfall. This was my second visit to Iriomote Island, but this time I truly felt the essence of the island. It was great. I felt pleasantly tired. Thank you very much.
曇天でしたが反って体力的には良かったです。カヌーは初めての経験で、その後のトレッキングの距離は長くは無いと思いましたが、張り巡らされた木の根を跨いで巨石を迂回しての上り下りに神経を使いました。この7人グループの最高齢は私71才でしたが到着したピナイサーラの滝下で小学生が遊んでいたことにびっくりしました。石垣からのフェリーは上原港が欠航で大原港から連絡バスでの到着でしたが、西表島モンスーンさんは無事に送迎してくれました。写真もカヌーのポイント、滝のポイントなどでガイドさんに撮っていただきました。西表島は2回目でしたが。今回は改めて西表島を実感しました。良かったです。心地よい疲れでした。ありがとうございました。
Even if the ferry to Uehara Port is canceled, it's fine to go via Ohara Port.
上原港行きが欠航でも大原港経由で大丈夫です。
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。
Even in the case of canoeing, it's essential to wear clothes that can get wet since your bottom will get a little wet when you sit down!
カヌーの場合でも、座るとお尻が少し濡れるので濡れてもいい服装は必須です!
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!

My first canyoning experience was in the great outdoors of Iriomote Island, where the heat and tranquility coexist. With the reliable support of our guide, I was able to enjoy it without any worries!
I jumped into a stream that appeared in a jungle I would usually hesitate to enter, and it felt amazing to surrender myself to the pleasantly cool flow.
Including the mini trekking before and after, it was a memorable grand adventure. Additionally, I added a half-day tour of Yufu Island before the canyoning tour, making the most of my time after arriving from Ishigaki Island, and I was very satisfied!
初めてのキャニオニングは、西表島の熱気と静けさが同居した大自然の中で、頼れるガイドさんの適切なサポートの下で、心置きなく楽しむことができました!
普段なら入ってみたいが躊躇するジャングルに現れた渓流に、いざ飛び込み、心地よい冷たさの流れに身を任せるのはとても気持ちが良いです。
前後のミニトレッキング含め、思い出に残る大冒険でした。
またキャニオニングツアーの前に、半日の由布島観光も追加して1日お世話になりましたが、石垣島から到着後の時間をフルに活用でき、大満足です!
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 had a great time with the fun guidance. They clearly separated the difficulty levels for those who can jump from high places and those who are not so comfortable, so everyone enjoyed it! The water is still cold!
楽しくガイドしていただき楽しかったです。
高いところから飛び込める人と苦手な人でしっかり難易度を分けてくれるので、全員が楽しめました!
水はまだ冷たいです!
Such a fun day! Tour guides were especially great, knowledgeable about the ecosystem we were hiking through, kind, and friendly. Got to see a great view, have a good meal, and swim in the watering hole. Photos throughout the trip was a plus too.
こんにちは、チャーミーさん。
空風の和也&しんごです!
先日はツアーに参加してくださりありがとうございます。
あの日はなかなか長い旅路でしたが、無事、ピナイサーラの滝壺と滝上にたどり着くことができましたね!
お二人の故郷にも滝はたくさんあると思いますが、西表島にも他に100を超える滝がございます。
興味があれば、またぜひいらしてみてください。
それでは、またいつか!
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!
They took beautiful photos and videos, allowing us to enjoy SUP and canoeing. The weather was great, making it the perfect situation. The instructor also explained everything clearly.
映える写真や動画を撮影して下さるので、SUPやカヌーを楽しめました。天気がよかったので最高のシチュエーションでした。インストラクターの方もわかりやすく説明して下さりました。
The weather in Iriomote Island can be unpredictable, so there might be some hits and misses, but if you want to capture memorable photos and videos, why not join a sunset tour?
西表島の天気は変わりやすいので当たり外れは多少あるかもしれませんが、思い出に残る写真や動画を撮りたい方はぜひ夕暮れのツアーに参加してみてはいかがでしょうか?
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。
In a kayak, your lower body will get wet normally. If the weather is bad or the temperature is around 20 degrees, it's better to bring a change of clothes.
カヤックは下半身は普通に濡れます。天気が悪かったり気温が20度位の場合は着替えを持っていった方がいいです。
I had a great time seeing trees I had never seen before on Iriomote Island, as well as the Ton-ton-mi and crabs. The guide found and shared various things with us.
The canoeing was easy, with hardly any current, making it suitable for beginners. The excitement of seeing the waterfall is something I think you can't experience often. It's also rare to be able to jump into the waterfall pool. My husband and I, in our late 50s, took the plunge! It was refreshing!
If you're participating, please make sure to wear a swimsuit. Even if you don't jump in, I think you'll definitely want to after seeing it.
Along the way, the guide took a lot of photos for us. Overall, during our 3-night, 4-day trip to Ishigaki Island, going to Iriomote Island was the most enjoyable part.
西表島の見たことのない木や、トントンミーやカニが見れてとても楽しかったです。ガイドの方がいろいろ見つけて教えてくれました。
カヌーは流れがほとんどなくて初心者でも大丈夫でした。滝を見た時の感動はなかなか味わえないと思います。
滝つぼに入ることもなかなかできないと思います。50代後半の夫婦ですが、思い切って飛び込みました!爽快でした!
参加される方は是非水着を着て行ってください。
飛び込まなくても、見たら絶対入りたくなると思います。
道中、ガイドの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。
今回、石垣島に3泊4日の旅行で、西表島に行ったことが一番楽しかったです。
Swimsuit, rash guard, hat, and sunglasses. You can borrow shoes, so it's fine to go in sandals. You can leave your change of clothes for the return trip. I took the ferry back to Ishigaki at 2:30 PM.
水着とラッシュガード、帽子、サングラス。靴は借りれるのでサンダルで行っても大丈夫。帰りの着替えは置かせてもらえます。14時30分のフェリーで石垣へ戻りました。
I was a little worried that climbing might be tough, but I followed the guide and arrived safely. The stories along the way were enjoyable, and it felt like no time had passed.
登るのがきついかな…と少し心配はしましたが、ガイドさんに付いていき、無事 到着。
途中のお話も楽しくて、あっという間でした。
This was my second canoe experience on Iriomote Island, and it far surpassed my previous one, providing an amazing time. Canoeing while gazing at the majestic nature of the Pinai Sara Falls in the distance, experiencing the waterfall basin, and enjoying a warm lunch were all highlights.
The most luxurious moment, in my opinion, was when we leisurely walked on the sandy areas inhabited by mangroves during low tide. I believe the staff member, Eri, adjusted our time at the waterfall basin to bring us there.
I’m truly grateful for the many photos taken while paddling the canoe and checking on the participants. These were moments we couldn't capture ourselves. Even though it was only half a day, the experience was more than sufficient.
After returning to the hotel, we enjoyed relaxing on the beach and by the pool, making it a highly recommended plan that allowed us to spend our day without over-scheduling.
西表島でのカヌー体験は2度目でしたが前回をはるかに上回る素晴らい時間を過ごしました。
遠くに流れ落ちるピナイサーラの雄大な自然を眺めながらのカヌー時間、滝つぼでの体験、あったかいランチ。
そして一番の贅沢な時間だったなと思えるのが、干潮時で潮が引いていたのでマングローブが生息している砂場をゆったり歩いて過ごした時間。
きっとスタッフのエリさんが滝つぼで過ごす時間を調整してまで連れてきてくださったのだと思います。
又ご自分でカヌーを漕ぎながら、参加者の様子も確認しながらの中、たくさんの写真を撮っていただいて本当に感謝です。自分たちでは撮れない場面ばかりですから。
半日といえど充分すぎる内容でした。
ホテルへ戻ってからはのんびりビーチやプールで遊んだり自分達らしい詰め込み過ぎない日程で過ごす事ができるのとてもおすすめのプランです。
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。
From the very first meeting, the smiles of the staff welcomed us, putting the participants at ease. We were able to enjoy canoeing on the water while being complimented on our skills, which made the experience even more enjoyable. During the mountain trek, the staff communicated about difficult and dangerous areas in a way that allowed participants to share and feel a sense of unity. Thanks to this, everyone was able to have fun playing in the water at the destination's waterfall. On the way back, we were able to observe the unique flora and fauna of Iriomote Island at just the right moments, thanks to the guidance provided. I also appreciate the care shown towards our group, which was the most vulnerable during the journey.
初対面からスタッフ皆さんの笑顔での出迎えで参加者の心が和みました。
水面でそカヌー操作でも上手く褒められつつ楽しく前に進めることが出来ました。
山行でも難しいところ危険なところを伝言形式で伝え参加者が共有でき一体感をつくる気遣いを感じました。
おかげさまで目的地の滝つぼでは水遊び等皆が楽しむことが出来ました。
帰路では西表島固有のの動植物が見かけられるタイミングでお伝え戴き観察することが出来ました。
また道中一番危なっかしい当方グループに気を遣って戴き感謝します。
The hike to the Pinai Sara Falls basin takes about 30 to 40 minutes, but it is not a typical mountain walk with flat and stable footing. The route consists of wet, moss-covered rocky areas and riverbe
ピナイサーラ滝壺の山行は30〜40分程度ですが一般的な足元が平坦で安定した山歩きではなく、濡れて苔生したガレ場、沢の岩場が続くルートです。
何が難しいか主催される方からの公示をお願いします。
