All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I had a hard time deciding which tour company to choose among many options, but I decided on Windmill based on their high ratings and the reviews I read. After participating, I can confidently say that choosing this tour was the right decision!

★ About the tour
- I managed to handle canoeing even though it was my first time!
- The trekking was steeper than I expected, so it might be difficult for small children.
- Playing in the water at Pinai Sara Falls was truly refreshing! The view from the top of the waterfall was breathtaking, and we were lucky with the weather, making it the best experience. It was worth the effort to walk through the subtropical forest. It’s still quite hot even in late September.

★ About Windmill
- Since there were only three small groups, I felt secure and not neglected. They paid attention to everyone and checked in with us.
- The guide was polite and kind. They had extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, which made it enjoyable.
- The guide took many photos with their smartphone and sent them to us via AirDrop or LINE after the tour. Since there were many water spots, it was really helpful not to have to take out my own phone.
- You can use the shower room after the activities. Of course, it’s not as clean as a hotel, but it was tidy.

If I have friends going to Iriomote Island, I would recommend this without hesitation! Thank you very much.

たくさんのツアー会社があってどこにしようか悩みましたが、評価の高さと体験談を読んで風車さんに決めました。実際に参加してみて、このツアーを選んで大正解でした！

★ツアー内容について
・カヌーは初めてでもなんとかなりました！

・トレッキングは思っていたよりも険しかったので、小さいお子さんには難しいかもしれないです。

・ピナイサーラの滝つぼ遊びは、本当に気持ち良かったです！滝上から見る景色も絶景で、お天気にも恵まれ最高でした。亜熱帯の森を頑張って歩いた甲斐がありました。９月中〜下旬でもまだまだ暑いです。


★風車さんについて
・３グループの少人数だったので放ったらかしにされることなく安心できました。全員のことをよく見て声掛けしてくれます。

・ガイドさんの対応が丁寧で親切でした。西表島の動植物の知識も豊富で、楽しかったです。

・ガイドさんのスマホでたくさん写真を撮ってくれて、ツアー終了後にはAir dropかLINEで送ってくれます。水場が多く自分のスマホ出しづらいのでこれはすごくありがたいサービスでした。

・アクティビティ後にシャワー室を使用できます。もちろんホテルのような綺麗さではないですが、清潔感はありました。


西表島に行く友人がいたら迷わず進めます！
ありがとうございました。

I love the outdoors, so the trekking with a good workout, the elegant canoeing, and the experience of swimming in the waterfall basin were thrilling and the best I've ever had! The guide was kind to both adults and children, providing lots of encouragement that kept us entertained throughout. The photos and videos taken during the tour were wonderful and have become precious memories of my trip. When I visit Iriomote Island again, I would love to learn more about the island's charm. Thank you for the enjoyable time!

普段からアウトドアが好きなので、歩きごたえのあるトレッキングと、優雅なカヌー、滝壷で泳ぐ体験は、今までになくスリリングで、最高でした！ガイドさんは大人にも子供にも優しく、盛り上がるような声かけを沢山してくれて、ずっと楽しませていただきました。ツアー中撮っていただいた写真や動画はとても素敵で、大切な旅の思い出になっています。また西表島に行く際は、より島の魅力を教えていただきたいです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

The hotel pick-up was very helpful, and they provided all the necessary equipment (shoes, life jackets, backpacks, waterproof bags, portable toilets, etc.) for free. I was able to securely store my valuables and change of clothes in a locker beforehand, so I could participate in the activities feeling light and at ease. The guide was friendly, and I heard many enjoyable stories, making the activity time fly by.

The kayaking and trekking were both very fulfilling, and it turned out to be a fun and wonderful day. I'm really glad I came to Iriomote Island! Thank you very much.

ホテルへの送迎にもきていただき、必要な装備(靴、ライフジャケット、リュックサック、防水バッグ、携帯用トイレ等)全て無料でお貸しいただけるので、とても助かりました。貴重品や着替えなどは事前にロッカーに預けることができたので、安心して身軽な状態でアクティビティに参加することができました。ガイドさんも親しみやすく、たくさんの楽しいお話が聞けて、アクティビティの時間もあっという間に過ぎました。
カヤックとトレッキングもとても充実した内容で、楽しく素敵な一日になりました。西表島に来れて本当によかったです！ありがとうございました。

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。

The guide Hiro's stories were very interesting!! It was clear that he genuinely cares not only about the customers in front of him but also about the nature of Iriomote Island. I want to participate again. I will come back (^^)

ガイドのヒロさんのお話が大変面白かったです！！
目の前のお客様の事だけでなく、西表島の自然のことを真剣に考えている事が伝わってきました。
また参加したいです。また来ます(^^)

We participated with two elementary school children, making a group of four. It was our first experience with canoeing, but we enjoyed it thanks to the guide's lecture! We were able to go to places that the sightseeing boat couldn't reach, and we really enjoyed observing the mangroves up close. It seems that depending on the tide, we might not be able to go far in, but we could see rare creatures, and since even the kids could paddle, I think it's great for families too.

小学生2人の子供と4人で参加しました。カヌーは初体験でしたが、ガイドさんのレクチャーもあり楽しめました！遊覧船では入れないとこまで行けるし、間近でマングローブを観察出来て本当に楽しめました。潮の時間によっては奥まで行けないこともあるらしいですが、珍しい生物も見れるし子供でも漕げたのでファミリーにも良いと思います。

Canoeing and trekking can indeed be tiring, but the sense of achievement that spreads throughout your body is even more rewarding. Surrounded by 360 degrees of pure nature, I felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment. The highlight, Pinai Sara Falls, offered an incredible view from above. Lying down safely under the guidance of our guide to see the basin from above was a precious experience. After that, we enjoyed hot Yaeyama soba while looking at the waterfall, which filled our stomachs. While playing in the basin after descending, I lost myself in the joy of swimming. I dove from the jumping spot twice and had a blast, something I wouldn't normally do. The guide's explanations were clear, and they were attentive to our needs, allowing everyone to enjoy the tour until the end.

It became the best memory. Thank you very much.

カヌーやトレッキングは確かに疲れますが、それ以上に心地よい達成感が
身体中に広がります。
360度、100％の大自然に囲まれて、何とも言えない充足感に包まれる感覚でした。
ハイライトのピナイサーラの滝は、まず上からの眺めが最高でした。
ガイドさんの案内のもと、安全を確保した上で寝そべるようにして滝の上から滝つぼを見たのは貴重な経験です。
その後、滝を見ながら熱々の八重山そばをいただき、お腹も満たされました。
下に降りてからの滝つぼ遊びでは、我を忘れて泳ぎました。
飛び込みスポットから2回もダイブし、普段では考えられないほどはしゃぎました。
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、細やかに気配りもしていただいたので、全員で最後までツアーを楽しむことができました。

最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

The guide was very attentive, and even the tough journey was enjoyable. The view from above the waterfall was also very beautiful.

ガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくださり、きつい道中も楽しかったです。滝の上から見る景色もとてもきれいでした。

This time, on August 22, my spouse and I were taken care of by Monsoon!
They were very kind, and from the detailed explanations to the consideration for the participants, I really felt it was worth coming.
I especially appreciate Y, who was in charge.
We had a lot of fun with the many photos, lunch, and guidance!

Next time we come to Iriomote Island, we definitely look forward to it!

今回は、8月22日に夫婦2人で、モンスーンさんにお世話になりました！
とても優しくて、丁寧な説明から、
参加者のことを考えてくれた配慮など、来てよかったとすごく感じました。
特に担当のYさんには、感謝しています。
たくさんの写真やお昼ご飯、案内まで、
すごく楽しませてもらいました！

次も西表島に来たときは、ぜひよろしくお願いします！

Since it was my first time visiting Iriomote Island, I wanted to see the Pinai Waterfall, so I joined the tour. The guide told me it would be quite hard, and I prepared myself for that, but as expected, the trekking was tough since I don't usually exercise. However, they made sure to include plenty of breaks, so it was manageable! Once I climbed to the top of the waterfall and saw the view, all my fatigue disappeared! It was a tour where I could enjoy both canoeing and trekking, making it a great way to experience Iriomote Island in just one day!

初めての西表島観光だったので、ピナイサーラの滝は見ておきたいと思い参加しました。
ガイドさんに結構ハードだよと言われて心づもりしてましたが、その言葉の通りトレッキングは普段運動してない分、ハードでした。でも、休憩もこまめに挟んでくれるのでなんとかなります！笑
滝の上まで登って景色を見たら疲れも吹っ飛びます！カヌーもトレッキングもできて1日で西表島を満喫できるツアーだったので行って正解でした！

We participated with our 7-year-old and 10-year-old. It was our first time canoeing, and I was anxious about the preparations, but I received a phone call the day before, and they kindly answered all my questions, which made me feel very reassured.

On the day of the event, our 10-year-old got seasick on the ferry and unfortunately didn't recover for the rest of the day. Since it was just our family, they were very attentive to our child's condition and adjusted the pace, allowing us to move comfortably.

Canoeing was incredibly fun! When we reached the waterfall, our 7-year-old, who usually gets scared and doesn't want to go down slides, jumped into the water and had a great time playing energetically. The handmade Yaeyama soba we had there was warm and truly delicious. The pork was homemade by the wife, and it was tender and fantastic!

In the end, considering the children's condition, we decided not to go to Yubujima and took an early ferry back. They told us about Yamaneko Park and kindly drove us there. This park is a great place to relax, and it's close to Ohara Port. Our older child was able to lie down and sleep soundly until the ferry, which really improved their mood. The younger one found the Yamaneko slide a bit scary and gave up halfway, but they had a lot of fun playing in the park.

I apologize for the sudden health issues, but they handled everything very kindly, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I would be happy to try again if possible.

7歳、10歳の子連れで参加しました。カヌーは初めてで、どういった準備が正しいのか不安でしたが、前日にお電話を頂き、丁寧に質問に答えて頂いてとても安心しました。
当日は、10歳の子がフェリーで酔ってしまい、以後残念ながらずっと体調が快復しませんでした。今回は私達家族のみでしたので、とても細やかに体調を気遣って頂き、ペースも合わせて下さり無理のない動きが出来ました。

カヌーは最高に楽しかったです!滝つぼに着くと、7歳の子は普段は怖がってスライダーも滑りたがらない子ですが、この日はいっぱい水に飛び込んで本当に元気に楽しく遊べました。
ここで頂いた手作り八重山そばは温かくて、本当に美味しかったです。ソーキは奥様の手作りで、トロトロで最高でした!

結局、子どもの体調を考えて、由布島には渡らず早めのフェリーで帰る事にしました。ヤマネコパークがありますよと教えて頂き、そこまで送って貰いました。ここは本当にゆっくりできる公園で、大原港からも近く、上の子はフェリーまで横になってぐっすり眠れたので、かなり気分が改善できました。下の子も、ヤマネコの滑り台は怖くて途中でリタイアしましたが、公園で沢山遊べました。

急な体調不良でご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、とても丁寧に対応して頂いて、良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。またリベンジ出来たら嬉しいです。

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！

It was a half-day tour, but we enjoyed kayaking, trekking, and jumping into the waterfall! It was fulfilling, and everything was a lot of fun! We were also able to take many photos! The handmade lunch was very delicious.

半日のツアーでしたが、カヤック、トレッキング、滝つぼにドボン！充実していてすべてとても楽しめました！
写真もたくさん撮っていただけました！
お弁当が手作りでとても美味しかったです。

I was worried about my physical stamina as I entered my 50s, but in the end, I was able to keep up without any problems.

The guide was experienced and made the trekking and canoeing enjoyable by sharing stories about the nature of Iriomote Island.

At the beginning of the canoeing, they taught us how to operate the canoe, and once we were on it, it felt manageable.

Along the way, they provided detailed instructions about shallow areas and obstacles, so I was able to paddle with confidence.

During the trekking, they also informed us about slightly dangerous spots in advance, and they allowed the least fit person to lead, which made it easy to enjoy the experience. They took photos at key moments, so we created wonderful memories as a family.

I think this is a great tour for experiencing the nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you, guide!

50代に入り体力的に心配でしたが、終わってみて、問題なくついていくことができました。

ガイドの方は経験豊富で西表島の自然についてお話を交えながらトレッキングやカヌーを楽しませて下さいました。

カヌーの始めに操作の仕方を教えて下さいますし、乗った後は感覚的に何とかなるものでした。

途中も浅いところ、障害物があるところなど、細かく教えて下さるので、安心して漕ぐことが出来ました。

トレッキング中も少し危ないところなどは予め教えて下さいますし、一番体力のない人を先頭に進み、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。要所要所で写真も撮っていただいたので、家族揃って、とても良い思い出が出来ました。

西表島の自然を体感するのにとても良いツアーだと思います。ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

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。

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

The guide was wonderful, running the business as a family and creating a warm atmosphere. They took lots of photos, making for the best memories! We waited at the shop until our return boat arrived, and that time was enjoyable too. Since we were staying in Ishigaki, we went to Uehara Port first thing in the morning. It’s a busy season with many ferry passengers, so it’s better to make a reservation if you can!

ご家族で経営されててアットホームで素敵なガイドさんでした♫
写真もいっぱい撮って頂いて最高の想い出になりました！
帰りの船がくるまで、お店で待たせて頂いて、そんな時間も楽しかったです♫
石垣に宿泊していたので、朝一で上原港まで行きました。繁忙期でフェリーのお客さんが多いので予約できるならした方が良いです！

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。

The water surface was calm, making it easy for beginners to get on the canoe quickly. The guide's explanations about the mangroves and the island's creatures were clear and kept us engaged. Swimming in the waterfall pool was also refreshing. The Yaeyama soba we had at the café run by the guide after the tour was delicious.

水面が穏やかでカヌーは初心者でもすぐに乗れるようになりました。
マングローブや島の生き物などのガイドさんの解説も分かりやすく飽きることはありませんでした。
滝つぼでの水泳も気持ちよかったです。
ツアー後にガイドさんの経営しているカフェで食べた八重山そばも美味しかったです。

Even if you're not confident in your physical strength, you can participate! The view from the top of the waterfall was exceptional. The guide also helped by teaching us about the animals and plants. The homemade Yaeyama soba for lunch was the best!

体力に自信がなくても参加できました！
瀧上からの景色は格別でした。ガイドさんも動物や植物のことを教えてくれて助かりました。
ランチのお手製八重山そば最高でした！

The day before, I was surprised to learn that if I didn't reconfirm within a limited time, it would be a forced cancellation. During the phone call, I was told, "You know where to meet for the rental car, right? It's by the statue of the wildcat," and I was left speechless... However, when I actually met the guide, he was a seasoned professional who gave off a reassuring vibe, just like the old days!

After our greeting, he suddenly emphasized multiple times, "It's tougher than you might imagine," which I think should be mentioned in the tour details... This is essential information to know before participating in the tour. That's why I decided to write this review.

Since it was scorching hot, I recommend that parents in their 40s and 50s who are desk workers and not used to physical activity really prepare themselves for the summer heat. It's a very enjoyable tour, so I think kids will be just fine! The waterfall was breathtaking and absolutely wonderful!

Also, during low tide, you have to pull the canoe and walk quite a distance on sandy ground, so I believe it could be quite challenging if you don't check the timing. When we went, we barely managed to walk about 20 meters, so we made it back safely.

前日、限られた時間に、こちらからリコンファームしないと強制キャンセルとのことで、驚きました。電話の際も「レンタカーの集合は、やまねこの銅像のとこ、わかるでしょ？」と言われ唖然・・・。でも実際お会いすると、「納得な」感じのベテランのガイドさんで、昔ながらの頼りがいのある方でした！！
が、集合のご挨拶後いきなり「想像以上にきついですから」と何度も念押しされ、、、、それはツアー内容に書いておいほしい・・・。ツアーに参加する前に必要な情報ですよね。。。なのでここに口コミすることにしました。
炎天下ですので真夏はかなり気合いれて参加してください＠デスクワークで体動かしていない４０～５０代のお父さんお母さん。とても楽しいツアーですのでお子さんは全然大丈夫とおもいます！！滝は圧巻ですばらしかった！
なお、干潮時は、カヌーを引っ張ってかなりの距離、砂地歩くのでこの時間帯を確認しないと大変なことになると思います。私らの時はギリギリ、２０ｍほどあるく程度ですんだので、生還できました。

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。

First of all, the male guide was very enjoyable, and I was glad that he provided a thorough guide even during the busy tourist season.

The first half, canoeing and trekking to Pinai Sara Falls, was initially challenging with the canoeing, but as I got used to it, it became fun and I wanted to paddle more. The Pinai Sara Falls were surprisingly impressive, and the rice balls we ate under the falls were delicious. Thanks to the guide, my wife, who is not very athletic, was also able to enjoy it. Since there were small children participating as well, I think anyone without physical limitations can have a good time. (For the canoeing in the first half, it's better to have one strong person paddling for two.)

The second half at Yubu Island was a lovely place, and I wished we could have spent more time there, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit (I understand the time constraints).

Thank you!

まず、ガイドの男性の方が非常に楽しい方で、観光客で忙しい時期にも関わらず、しっかりとガイドしてくれてうれしかったです。

前半のカヌー→ピナイサーラの滝までのトレッキングは、最初はカヌーの操作に苦戦しましたが、だんだん慣れてくると楽しくてもっと乗っていたかったです。ピナイサーラの滝も思いのほか迫力があって、滝の下で食べるおにぎりも美味しかったです。ガイドさんのおかげで運動が得意ではない妻も楽しむことができました。体力的にも小さいお子さんも参加されていたので、なにか身体的な障害がない限りは楽しめるのではないかと思います。
（前半のカヌーは体力ある人が1人ついて2人乗りで漕いだほうがいいです）

後半の由布島も素敵な島で、もっとゆっくりできればよかったなと思いましたが、それでもかなり楽しめました（時間的には仕方ないと思います）

ありがとうございました！

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！

It was our first time on Iriomote Island with our family of five (with a 9th grader, a 7th grader, and a 4th grader). I was a bit nervous about what to expect, but both the trekking and canoeing were just right for beginners, and we all had a great time. They provided us with hats, bags that could get dirty, and waterproof bags, which was very helpful for our family, as we were all beginners.

We swam in the waterfall pool, and the kids wanted to wear goggles (I think I'll bring goggles next time). Additionally, we received photos via LINE at the end, which became wonderful memories. We were also able to rent a shower and bath towels for an extra fee, so we could clean up before heading back to port.

We're already talking about wanting to go again on our next trip! Thank you for everything!!

家族5人で、初の西表島でした。(中3.中1.小4の息子です)
どんなものかドキドキでしたが、トレッキングもカヌーも程よい感じで初心者でも楽しめました。
帽子、汚れても良いバッグ、防水袋も貸して頂き、全てが初心者だった我が家には、とても有り難かったです。
滝壺で、泳いだのですが、子供らはゴーグルを付けたがってました。(次回はゴーグルを持って行こうと思います。)
また、最後に写真もLINEで頂けたので、思い出になりました。
別料金で、シャワーと、バスタオルを貸してもらえたので、綺麗にしてから帰港できました。
次回の旅行の時も行きたいね！と話しています。
お世話になりました！！

The activity was my first since arriving on Iriomote Island the previous evening. The trekking shoes and waterproof backpacks were well-prepared, and I felt reassured by the infection control measures in place. Our guide, Hiro, shared a lot of interesting information about Iriomote Island during the car ride from the accommodation to the office, as well as during the canoeing and trekking, making it very enjoyable and easy to understand.

After lunch, due to the circumstances of a fellow participant, I joined another group, but the guide from that group, Hoshi, also ensured a fun experience while prioritizing safety. While no special equipment is particularly necessary, I think wearing a long-sleeved, long-pants rash guard would be suitable for trekking and playing in the waterfall pools. I truly remember it as a really fun experience!

前日の夕方、西表島に着いてから初めてのアクティビティでした。
トレッキング用の靴や防水リュック等装備もキチンと整備してあり、感染対策に安心感がありました。
ガイドのヒロさんは宿から事務所までの車中や、カヌーやトレッキング中に西表島のことをいろいろお話しして下さって、とても楽しくわかりやすかったです。
昼食後は同行した方のご都合で、別のグループに合流したのですが、こちらのガイドのホシさんも安全面に気を付けつつ楽しい体験をさせてくれました。
装備は特に必要ありませんが、長袖長ズボンのラッシュガードだとトレッキングや滝壷遊びに都合が良いと思います。
本当に楽しかったなぁ〜と思い出しています！

Before going, I had some concerns about the service, but the guide who accompanied us on the day was a fun person, so it was great. Everything was fulfilling and we had a lot of fun!! I want to go to Iriomote Island again.

行く前は対応に少し不安はありましたが、
当日自分たちについてくれたガイドさんが楽しい方だったので良かったです。
全部充実しててとても楽しかったです！！
また西表島にもいきたいです。
