Balas Island is quite irregularly shaped, and it was unfortunate that it submerged below the water level at high tide, but the selection of snorkeling spots, including a resting place for sea turtles, was excellent. The guide who temporarily handled the canoeing and trekking was wonderful, making it a great memory for the whole family.
バラス島はかなり変形しており満潮時は海面下に沈むのが残念でしたが、海ガメの休憩場所を含むシュノーケリングのポイント選択は最高でした。カヌーとトレッキングについては臨時で担当されたガイドが素晴らしく家族全員にとって良い思い出になりました。

Although it was a last-minute reservation the day before, I was able to participate. The sea was sparkling like jelly, and I saw cute fish and even a sea turtle, albeit just its face. During the canoeing, I was waved off by the fiddler crabs, and I was moved by the unique subtropical trees during the trekking. The staff who guided us answered our questions about living creatures and plants with great care, and I thought their knowledge was wonderful. The other staff members were also very pleasant.
Thank you for creating such fun memories! 😊
前日の急な予約でしたが、参加させていただきました。
西表のゼリーのようにキラキラな海、かわいい魚たち、ウミガメも顔だけでしたが見ることができました。
カヌーではシオマネキたちに見送られ、トレッキングでは亜熱帯独特の木々に感動しました。
引率してくださったスタッフの方は、生き物や植物などに関する質問に丁寧に答えてくれ、知識もすばらしいなと思いました。
他のスタッフの方々もとても感じが良かったです。
楽しい思い出を作っていただき、ありがとうございました(^^)

Our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, had a tough appearance but was very kind. It wasn't just about trekking or snorkeling; I learned a lot about Iriomote Island, plants, and animals, making it a very satisfying day. Also, the PM Sea plan included canoeing and trekking while I still had energy, which was just right.
I definitely want to go again.
ガイドの岩本さんがこわもてなのに
優しかったです。
ただトレッキングをするとか、
シュノーケリングするとかではなく
西表島とか植物、動物のこともいろいろ
教えてもらえて大満足の一日でした。
また、PM海というプランで
体力のあるうちにカヌーやトレッキングだったので
ちょうどよかったです。
また是非行きたいと思いました。

It was amazing. I never thought I would be able to kayak in my 60s. The weather was perfect, and all I could hear was the sound of paddling through the mangrove forest, making me forget about everyday life. It was truly a wonderful time. Thank you, Eri.
最高でした。 60代でカヤックが漕げるなんて思ってなかった。お天気にも恵まれ、マングローブの林の中、カヤックを漕ぐ音だけが聞こえて、日常を忘れてしまう、本当にいい時間でした。えりぃさんどうもありがとう。

In late March, despite the warm weather of 27 degrees, I participated in the half-day tour of Pinai Sara. Paddling through the mangrove forest by canoe was refreshing and healing. We arrived at the waterfall after about 30 minutes, being careful on the slippery paths during the trekking! I enjoyed the delicious lunch prepared by our guide. It was a surprise to find out that we attended the same elementary school (・□・)! I was truly amazed (laughs).
It was a wonderful tour with rich content! ^ ^
3月下旬というのに27度の好天の中、ピナイサーラ半日コースに参加させていただきました。
マングローブの森をカヌーで漕ぎ進むのが気持ちよく 癒されました^ ^
トレッキングは滑りやすい小道に気をつけながら、30分ほどで滝に到着!
ガイドさんが用意してくれたお昼ごはんを美味しくいただきました。
ガイドさんとは偶然にも小学校が同じ(・□・)!
本当にビックリしました(笑)
内容の濃い素晴らしいツアーでした^ ^

I participated from Ishigaki Island. I took the boat that departed Ishigaki Island at 8:30 and arrived at Iriomote Island in about 45 minutes. When I got off the boat, the staff were there to welcome us.
The weather was cloudy that day, but the river flow was calm, and while paddling the canoe, I enjoyed a luxurious time where I could only hear the sounds of nature.
The trekking to Pinaisara Falls was just the right length and difficulty, allowing me to fully enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island! I was torn between a full-day course and a half-day course, but even the half-day was more than enough to enjoy. I felt a sense of fatigue and satisfaction that made me want to do it again! The staff were polite, calm, and very likable. I had the impression that staff from other tour companies were a bit more intense and pushy, so I was glad to have chosen this tour. They also responded to my requests for photos and took various shots, which was a great help. It was nice that they sent them right away.
Next time, I want to join the full-day tour! Thank you for the luxurious time.
石垣島から参加しました。石垣島8時半発の船に乗り、45分ほどで西表島です。船を降りるとスタッフの方々迎えに来てくれていました。
この日は天気は曇天でしたが、川の流れが穏やかで、カヌーを漕いでいる時間は自然の音しか聞こえてこない贅沢な時間でした。
ピナイサーラの滝までのトレッキングもちょうどよい長さ、キツさで西表島の自然を満喫できます!1日コースか半日コースか迷いましたが、半日でも十分満喫できます。またやりたい!と思える疲労感と満足感でした。スタッフの方も丁寧で穏やかで好感がもてました。他のツアー会社のスタッフの方は少し熱い感じでグイグイ系の方が多い印象でしたので、このツアーでよかったと思いました。写真も要望に応えてくれていろいろ撮って頂き、大変助かりました。すぐに送ってくれたのも良かったです。
今度は1日ツアーに参加したいです!贅沢な時間をありがとうございました。

I participated with two friends. Besides us, there was a family, making a total of 7 people plus the guide. The guide picked us up by car at Uehara Port to match the ferry's arrival time. First, we went to Iriomote Island Monsoon (a guesthouse about 3-4 minutes by car from Uehara Port), where we filled out necessary documents and took care of restroom needs to get ready. They lent us a waterproof bag for each person, so we could put our belongings inside it during the tour. Items we didn't carry during the tour could be left at Monsoon, but we were advised to manage our valuables ourselves, so it’s better not to bring unnecessary items. I only brought a hat, sunscreen, a drink, some cash for the day, a face towel, and my smartphone (in a Ziploc bag), which was sufficient. I wore a swimsuit with a rash guard and leggings. (I didn’t bring a change of clothes and boarded the return ferry in this outfit. I swam during the tour, but by the time we returned, I was dry. However, the air conditioning on the ferry can be strong, so if you tend to get cold, it might be good to have a change of clothes or something to cover up.)
Now, let’s get started! We began with kayaking. You can choose between a two-person or a one-person kayak. It was my first time kayaking, but since we wore life jackets and the guide kindly taught us how to paddle, we were able to paddle smoothly. (Even if you can’t move forward, the guide will tow you.) Surrounded by the sparkling water, the green mangroves, the blue sky, and the blue crabs I saw for the first time, the time spent paddling slowly in this magnificent nature, which you can’t experience in the city, was very pleasant and healing!
After paddling for about 30-40 minutes, we landed and started trekking towards the waterfall basin. There were a few kayaks already tied up at the dock, but during the peak season in August, there can be around 30 kayaks. (I thought it might be easier to paddle during the off-season.) The jungle had poor footing with rocks and protruding tree roots, so we climbed while using our hands. I saw a cute little frog in a puddle. At slippery points, the guide warned us and showed us where to place our right foot and where to hold on for stability! They also explained the plants, animals, and insects we encountered while walking.
After trekking for about 30 minutes, we finally arrived at the Pinai Waterfall basin! Those who wanted could swim in the basin. I dove into the basin! It was a bit cold, but I got used to it quickly. It was refreshing and invigorating! The view of the waterfall and the sky from the basin was indescribably wonderful, and I wanted to keep looking at it.
For lunch, we had handmade rice balls, fried chicken, boiled eggs, and pickled radish. I was full. Eating in the great outdoors was very delicious. After a short lunch break, we returned the way we came, trekking then kayaking. By the way, there are no restrooms during the tour (or rather, there aren’t any; in case of emergency, you can go in nature & bring back your own paper), so be careful not to drink too much.
As we neared the end of the kayaking, I felt a bit sad thinking, “Oh, it’s almost over…” I promised the blue sky that I would definitely come back! Among the family we were with, there was a grandmother (in her 60s?) and a third-grade child, but there were no injuries or dangerous incidents, and we all enjoyed the tour until the end. The guide took photos during the tour, and I was happy that they sent them to us via LINE right after the tour ended. We wrapped up around 1:30 PM. We arrived at Ishigaki Island before 4 PM, so we could do some sightseeing from there. (We went to see the sunset at Kabira Bay.)
The half-day course was a suitable amount of exercise for me, who usually lacks physical activity, and I was able to fully enjoy nature, so I highly recommend it! Thank you very much! I had a great time! I want to participate again!
友人と3人で参加しました。
私たちの他にはご家族がいらっしゃって、合計7名+ガイドさんでした。
フェリーの到着時間に合わせてガイドさんが上原港まで車で迎えにきてくれています。
まずは西表島モンスーン(上原港から車で3、4分の民宿)まで行き、必要書類を記入後、トイレなどを済ませ身支度を整えます。
一人につき一つ防水バックを貸して下さるので、ツアー中持ち歩くものはその中に入れます。
ツアー中持ち歩かないものはモンスーンに置いておくことができますが、貴重品などは自己管理とのことでしたので、余計なものは持っていかない方がいいと思います。
私は、帽子、日焼け止め、飲み物、その日使う程度のお金、フェイスタオル、スマホ(ジップロックに入れて)だけしか持っていきませんでしたが、十分でした。
服装は水着の上にラッシュガード+レギンスにしました。(着替えは持って行かず、この格好のまま帰りのフェリーに乗りました。ツアー中泳ぎましたが、帰る頃には乾きました。ただフェリーの冷房がきついので寒がりの方は着替えや羽織るものがあった方がいいかもしれません。)
前置きが長くなってしまいましたが、、、いざ出発です!!
まずはカヤックからスタート。2人乗り、1人乗りから選べます。
初めてのカヤックでしたが、ライフジャケットも着用しますし、ガイドさんが丁寧に漕ぎ方も教えてくれますので、順調に漕ぎ進めることができました。(前進できなくても、ガイドさんがけん引してくれます。)
水面のキラキラとした光や、マングローブの緑、青い空、初めて見る青い色のカニ、などなど、都会では味わうことのできない雄大な自然に囲まれて、ゆっくりと漕ぎ進める時間はとても気持ちよく、癒されました!
30.40分ほど漕いだ後、上陸し、滝壺を目指してトレッキングです。船着き場には先客のカヤックが数台繋いでありましたが、8月のピークシーズンには30台程度のこともあるそうです。(オフシーズンの方がゆっくり漕げるかも?と思いました。)
ジャングルの中は岩や張り出した木の根など、足場が悪いので手を使いながら登っていきます。水たまりにはとんとんみーがいて可愛かったです。
滑りやすいポイントではガイドさんが注意喚起して、右足はココに、手はココをつかむと安定します!と教えてくれます。歩きながら動植物や昆虫の説明などもしてくれます。
30分ほどトレッキングして、ついにピナイサーラの滝壺に到着!希望者は滝壺で泳げます。私も滝壺へダーイブ!
少し冷たかったですが、すぐに慣れました。頭がスッキリして爽快でした!!滝壺から見上げた滝と空が言葉では言い表せない素晴らしさで、ずーっと見ていたいと思う、そんな景色でした。
お昼ご飯は手作りのおにぎり、唐揚げ、ゆで卵、たくあん。お腹いっぱいになりました。大自然の中で食べるご飯はとても美味しかったです。
しばしのお昼休憩のあとはトレッキング→カヤックの順で来た道を戻ります。
ちなみに、ツアー中はトイレに行けませんので(というかありません、緊急の場合は自然の中&ペーパー持ち帰り)飲みすぎ注意です。
カヤックが終わりに近づくにつれ、あ~終わっちゃうのか~と切ない気持ちに…。絶対また来るぞー!!と青い空に誓うのでした!
ご一緒したご家族の中には、おばあちゃん(60代くらい?)と小学校3年生のお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、ケガや危ないこともなく、最後までみんなで楽しくツアーを終えることができました。
ツアー中、ガイドさんが写真を撮って下さるのですが、ツアー解散後すぐにLINEで送ってくれて嬉しかったです。
その日は13時30分過ぎに解散でした。16時前には石垣島に着くので、そこから観光もできます。(私たちは川平湾の夕焼けを見に行きました。)
半日コースは日頃運動不足の私には適度な運動量で、自然も大満喫できるので、オススメです!!
どうもありがとうございました!とても楽しかったです!また参加したいです!

I have completely fallen in love with the Yaeyama Islands, and this is my second time participating because I couldn't forget how much fun it was. This time, I joined two friends who were visiting Iriomote Island for the first time, and we were all very satisfied, just like last time. It was an extremely hot day, and my friends were cooling off by swimming in the waterfall basin. The half-day flow of canoeing, trekking, resting at the waterfall, trekking, and canoeing was just right, leaving a pleasant level of fatigue—it's truly a great tour. I want to participate as many times as possible. They also sent the photos right away, which made me very happy. I will definitely come again!
すっかり八重山諸島にはまってしまった私は2回目の参加ですが、この楽しさが忘れられず参加しました。今回は西表島初めての友人2人と3人で参加し、前回と同様に大満足でした。この日はすごく暑い日で、友達は滝壺で泳いで涼んでいました。カヌー、トレッキング、滝壺で休憩、トレッキング、カヌーという半日の流れがちょうどよく、ほどよい疲れが残る本当にいいツアーです。何度でも参加したいと思います。お写真もすぐに送ってくれて大満足でした。また絶対きますね!

I only stayed one night on Iriomote Island, so my schedule was a bit hectic. However, I definitely wanted to experience the forest and kayaking, so I was able to find just the right course. They picked me up at the hotel, and after dropping off my luggage at the shop and putting on marine shoes, we set off on the tour. There were a total of four of us, including two other people. We started with a mangrove kayaking experience. Paddling leisurely through the great outdoors was truly refreshing; my arms did get sore, but it was a pleasant time. After that, we trekked to the Pinaisara Falls, which took about 30 minutes. There were some places where we had to use our hands to climb, making it surprisingly challenging. Our guide, Aya, introduced us to various creatures and plants and guided us carefully. That day, we happened to see a giant eel. Afterward, we swam at Pinaisara Falls and had lunch. On the way back, we retraced our steps along the same route. I experienced severe muscle pain the next day... I realized how out of shape I was. It was so much fun, and the moment it ended, I smiled and said, "That was great!" I definitely want to participate again!
西表島には1泊のみだったので、ちょっと慌ただしいスケジュールでした。でも、絶対森とカヤックは体験したかったので、ちょうどいいコースを発見することができました。ホテルまでお迎えにきてもらい、ショップで荷物を預けたり、マリンシューズを履いて、ツアー出発です。私たちのほかに2人の方と合計4人でした。はじめはマングローブカヤックからスタートです。大自然の中をゆったりと漕いでいくのは本当に気持ちよく、腕は痛くなりますが、心地いい時間でした。その後はピナイサーラの滝までトレッキングです。30分くらいでしょうか。
手を使って登る場所もあって以外とハードでした。ガイドのあやさんはいろんな生物や植物を紹介して、丁寧に進んでくれます。その日はたまたまオオウナギが見れました。その後、ピナイサーラの滝で泳いで、お昼を食べました。帰りはそのまま逆のコースを戻ります。私は次の日筋肉痛が酷かったです。。自分の運動不足さを実感しました。とても楽しくて終わった瞬間はあー楽しかったって笑顔で言ってました。また絶対参加したいです!!

We decided on this tour for our fifth grader and first-year middle school boy who wanted an active experience. On the day of the tour, we gathered at Uehara Port and heard it could get crowded coming from Ishigaki Island, so we arrived early to depart. We felt relieved to meet the staff waiting for us on-site, but this year there has been a dry rainy season, and the cave's sanitary conditions weren't good, so we quickly changed to canyoning for the afternoon. After moving to the shop, we put our valuables in a waterproof bag we borrowed and received a canoeing lesson before heading to the location. There were tandem options available, but they assured us that our fifth grader could manage alone. While being watched over and given advice, we trekked for 40 minutes, listening to stories about the flora and fauna, and were healed by the negative ions at Pinai Saara Falls. We enjoyed homemade rice balls from our guide for lunch and returned via the same route before heading to canyoning. We experienced jumping in from upstream, and the descent downstream was filled with excitement for the kids on a hot summer day, making for a very active and enjoyable day. It went by in a flash, but we truly had a fun day. I would love to sign up for the same tour again next time. Lastly, I was happy to receive many photos as well. For those looking to spend an active day, even though the cave plan changed, the staff were kind and I highly recommend it. Thank you!
小学5年と中1男子、アクティブな体験したいとこのツアーに決定。当日は上原港に集合ということで石垣島から混雑すると聞いて早め待機で出港。現地で待っていただいてるスタッフの方と合流でき安心したのですが今年は空梅雨で洞窟の衛生環境がよくないらしく急きょお昼から代案のキャニオニングに変更。一度店の方へ移動させていただいてから貴重品のみお借りした防水バックにいれてカヌーのこぎ方レクチャーし現地へ。2人のりもあるそうだけど小学5年でも一人で大丈夫、と見守ってアドバイスいただきながら片道40分、動植物のお話聞きながらトレッキング、ピナイサーラの滝でマイナスイオンに癒されました。ガイドさんの手作りおにぎり、昼食いただき元来たルートで戻り、次はキャニオニングへ。上流から飛び込みも体験しつつ下流までの沢下りは暑い夏日に子供たちもおおはしゃぎでとてもアクティブに心地よくハードに1日満喫できました。あっという間でしたが、本当に楽しい1日過ごせました。今度もまた同じツアーで申し込みたいくらいです。また最後にたくさんの写メもいただけ嬉しかったです。アクティブに1日過ごされたい方洞窟は変更になりましたがスタッフの方も優しくおすすめです。ありがとうございました!

Unfortunately, due to bad weather and high waves on the day of the tour, we couldn't reach the sea turtle encounter point. Although it was cloudy, we were able to land on Barasu Island. On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed nature with a 30-minute hike and a canoeing excursion. Since I don't often have the opportunity to ride a canoe, it was a great experience.
残念なことにツアー当日の天気が悪く、波が高かったためウミガメ遭遇ポイントは行けませんでした。
曇っていましたが、バラス島には上陸できました。
西表島では30分程度のハイキングとカヌーでの散策で、自然を満喫できました。

I visited Iriomote Island for my graduation trip. Since I was there, I wanted to have an experience that I couldn't easily have elsewhere, so I chose this activity. On the day of the trip, we couldn't go snorkeling due to the waves, but we were able to switch to cave exploration, which left me very satisfied. The guide was also very kind, and I got along well with the other participants, which I think is one of the attractions of the experience. We paddled canoes, trekked towards a waterfall, and explored caves, making it a truly packed and fantastic graduation trip. I hope to go back someday for a snorkeling redo! (laughs)

I forgot to post this, but it's been a while... We canoed close to the waterfall and then trekked to the waterfall! We played in the water at the waterfall and had rice balls nearby. In the afternoon, we explored three caves! The trekking path was harder than I expected, but the excitement when we reached the waterfall was immense. The caves were natural, each with a different character, and there were some very large stalactites, as well as countless icicle-like formations on the ceiling that sparkled when light was shone on them. It was also fun to hear the guide talk about the mangroves and the flora and fauna of the island. I was very satisfied with the full day of activities. It was a tour that made me want to participate again. (I have the images saved on my computer, but I couldn't upload them successfully.)
Now that I can upload images, I have done so!
投稿を忘れておりだいぶたっておりますが・・・滝の近くまでカヌーで進み、その後、滝までトレッキング!滝で水遊び、周辺でおにぎりを食べました。午後から3つの洞窟を探検しました!トレッキングの道は思っていたよりハードめでしたが、その分、滝に到達したときは感激が大きかったです。洞窟は自然のままの洞窟で、それぞれ表情が違い、鍾乳石は、とても大きいものがあったり、天井に無数のつららがあったり、光を当てると粒子がきらきらしていました。ガイドさんがマングローブなど動植物や島のお話をしてくれたのも楽しかったです。1日盛りだくさんの内容で満足できました。また、参加したいと思えるツアーでした。(画像をパソコンに取り込んでありますがうまくアップロードできなかったです。)

I participated with a friend. The tide was high and the waves were a bit rough, but the island made of coral, Barasu Island, was truly beautiful. We were able to see the sea turtles while they were napping. In the second half, the weather improved, and I was thrilled to see coral and colorful fish that looked like something out of a dragon palace, as well as a sleeping shark! We enjoyed a leisurely handmade lunch with our guide on Hatoma Island, who shared many fun stories with us. After swimming a lot and feeling tired, we relaxed on the beach during our time exploring Hatoma Island. I was also able to take a shower when we got back, so I was very satisfied.
友人と2人で参加しました。大潮で波が少し荒かったのですが、珊瑚でできた島、バラス島も本当にきれいでした。
ウミガメはお昼寝中でしたがバッチリ見れました。
後半はお天気も良くなり、竜宮城のような珊瑚とカラフルなお魚、またネムリブカなど見る事ができて大興奮!

We participated as a couple. There were two other participants, making a total of four people. The guide was a young staff member from Iriomote Monsoon, and they were very efficient. They provided detailed explanations about the plants and took many photos, which they sent to us later, creating wonderful memories. During the trekking, they informed us in advance about points where injuries could easily occur, allowing us to proceed with caution.
For lunch, we had two handmade rice balls, pickles, fried chicken, and a boiled egg. It was a simple meal, but it tasted really good. The rice balls were made with one cup of rice, so I think even men would be satisfied.
One thing to note is that after gathering, the pace moves quickly, so it's better to pack lightly and be ready to move without unnecessary items. Also, you generally can't go to the restroom during the tour (we go to the restroom at Iriomote Monsoon before heading out for trekking), so be careful not to drink too much the day before!
It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.
夫婦2人で参加。他にも2人参加者がいたので、計4人でした。ガイドさんは西表モンスーンの若いスタッフさん1名だけですが、手際が良かったです。植物など詳しく解説して下さったり、写真を沢山取ってあとで送って頂いて、すごくいい思い出になりました。トレッキング中は、怪我しやすいポイントなど事前に知らせてもらえるので、注意しながら進むことが出来ました。
昼食は手作りのおにぎり2つとお漬物、からあげ、ゆで卵でした。シンプルな昼食ですがすごく美味しく感じました。おにぎりは1合分あるので、男性でも満足できるかと思います。
注意点としては、集合後はせわしなく進行していくので、余計なものは持ち物は持たないですぐ動けるようにまとめておいた方がいいです。
あと、基本的にツアー中はトイレに行けないので(西表モンスーンで済ませてからトレッキングに向かいます。)、前日の飲み過ぎ注意!です。
とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The waves were high in the morning, so we couldn't see any sea turtles. What a shame.
Bara Island is a beautiful place, and the sound of the waves and coral created a magical atmosphere. It felt like a dream.
We had lunch on Hatoma Island. It was a peaceful spot, and we enjoyed a leisurely stroll for about an hour.
We also had plenty of time for snorkeling, and we were healed by the beautiful coral and fish.
朝から波が高くてウミガメは見ることが出来ませんでした。残念。
バラス島はキレイな場所で、波とさんごの音が幻想的な空間でした。夢のようでした。
鳩間島でお昼ごはんを食べました。穏やかな場所で、1時間くらいゆっくり散策出来てよかったです。
シュノーケリングもたっぷり時間があって、キレイなさんごと魚に癒されました。

First of all, thank you very much for your incredibly kind support! The content was just right, and the sense of achievement when we reached the waterfall was exceptional! If I had to suggest an improvement, I think it would have been even better if the lunch provided at the waterfall had more of an Okinawan feel to it. (There was a place next door serving Yaeyama soba, which I was a bit envious of.) That said, the homemade lunch was also very delicious. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you!
まず、誠に親切な対応をしていただき、ありがとうございました!内容もちょうど良く、滝に到達したときの達成感はひとしおでした!強いて改善点を申し上げるならば、滝到達時のお弁当を沖縄感のあるものであればもっと良かったかなと思いました。(八重山そば?を振舞っているとこが隣にあり、ちょっと羨ましかったので。)とはいえ、手作りお弁当もとても美味しかったです。非常に良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました!

I was moved by my first visit to Iriomote Island.
We rode canoes and aimed for the Pinai Sara Falls on a trekking adventure.
Since the trail is quite challenging, I think the kids (ages 13 and 9) will need two bottles of water each for the August tour.
However, the waterfall was incredibly refreshing, and the homemade lunch was very delicious, making all the fatigue disappear.
The cave exploration in the afternoon was also quite something!
I was amazed at how we could pass through such places, and the world inside the cave was completely devoid of light.
It got pretty muddy, but on the contrary, we had a blast.
(A helmet is a must!)
I actually wanted to give a maximum rating, but there were quite a few fingers in the photos taken by the guide, and it was hard to hear the explanations towards the back, so I rated it ★★★★.
The tour itself was flawless.
The Ishigaki Island lizards were incredibly beautiful! ♥
初めての西表島に感動しました。
カヌーに乗って、トレッキングでピナイサーラの滝を目指します。
なかなかの道なので8月のツアーでは子供たち(13歳・9歳)の飲料水は2本づつ必要かと。
ただ、滝の水はとても気持ち良く、手作りのランチもとてもおいしく、疲れも吹っ飛びます。
午後からの洞窟めぐりもなかなかのモノ!
こんな所通れるの~とか、洞窟の中で光の全くない世界。
結構ドロドロになりますが、逆に思い切り楽しめました。
(ヘルメットは必須です)
本当は評価マックスにしたかったのですが、ガイドさんに撮ってもらった写真に結構指が入っていたのと、説明が後ろの方まで聞き取りにくかったので★★★★でした。
ツアー自体は文句なしです。
石垣島トカゲ、すっごくきれいでした♥

I was simply amazed by the experience of being surrounded by nature while canoeing. The water at the waterfall was a bit cold on May 1st, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing in the water. The caves were more impressive than I expected, and I think this tour is a great deal.
カヌーでは自然に囲まれ初めての体験にただただ感動しました。滝壺では5/1で少し冷たいですが、思いっきり水遊びを楽しめました。洞窟も思った以上に迫力満点で、このツアーはお得だと思います。

I participated with a friend, and the view from the top of the waterfall was truly amazing. The unique plants of Iriomote made it feel almost foreign, as if I were in another country.
友人と二人で参加しましたが滝の上まで上がったときの景色が本当に素晴らしかったです。西表ならではの植物など「日本??」と思うくらい異国な感じがしました.

I visited in mid-June, and it was great that the rain from the previous day had stopped and the weather was nice.
The view from above the waterfall was amazing!
There were many reptiles and insects along the way, and it was really nice to see things that I don't usually get to see.
After walking in the heat, the plunge pool at the waterfall felt really refreshing!
I definitely want to visit again.
6月の中旬に訪れたんですが、前日からの雨も止んで天候もよくて良かったです。
滝の上の景色も最高でした☆
途中で爬虫類や昆虫が多くいますが普段見れない物を見ることができるのとても良かったです
。
暑い中、歩いた後の滝壺へのだいぶは本当に気持ちがよかったです!
ぜひまた訪れてみたいと思いました

Of course, Balas Island was great, but snorkeling at the points with coral reefs was very pleasant. I was also able to see sea turtles, which made for wonderful memories. The instructors were very nice people too!
バラス島はもちろんですがサンゴ礁のあるポイントでのシュノーケリングがとても気持ち良かったです。ウミガメも見ることが出来て良い思い出になりました。そしてインストラクターの方はとても良い人たちでした!

I wanted to go snorkeling in a beautiful sea, so I participated.
As a result, it met my expectations. I was able to see sea turtles and swim with many fish.
I would like to participate again when I revisit Iriomote.
綺麗な海でシュノーケルがしたいと思い参加しました。
結果、期待通りでした。
ウミガメにも会うことができ、沢山の魚とも泳ぐことができました。
西表再訪の際にはまた参加したいです。

My first snorkeling experience!
It was a tour while a typhoon was approaching, but I was able to participate with peace of mind!
I was completely satisfied with the crystal-clear sea, beautiful coral, and the wonderful guide♥︎ I was able to relax! The onigiri I had for lunch was so delicious that it moved me♪
I want to go to Hatoma Island again!
I highly recommend this tour❤︎
初めてのシュノーケリング!
そして、台風が近づいている中でのツアーでしたが、安心して参加出来ました!
透き通った海と、綺麗なサンゴと、素敵過ぎるガイドさんに大満足です♥︎のんびり過ごすことが出来ました!昼食で食べたおにぎりが美味し過ぎて感動♪
もう一回鳩間島に行きたい!
このツアーはオススメです❤︎

Barasu Island changes shape and number depending on the tides, which made me wonder what kind of island it really is... and it turned out to be an island formed by clusters of coral, both large and small. The surrounding sea was a beautiful blue, and I was very satisfied to see the corals, lovely fish, and even sea turtles.
I stayed at a small pension, and they came to pick me up properly. The car had waterproof seats, so I could sit down even while wet. Since I only did snorkeling, I ended up returning without changing.
I boarded the tour company's boat at Uehara Port and headed for Barasu Island. I was worried about seasickness, but I was so captivated by the scenery that I arrived in no time, so it wasn't a problem. We started with a simple snorkeling lesson at Barasu Island. They carefully taught us how to use the equipment and gave us tips. We swam from shallow areas to slightly deeper ones. Even if it's been a while since I last swam, this was not scary at all. I saw many colorful fish swimming gracefully among the corals.
It had been a while since my last snorkeling experience, but I felt secure knowing the guide was with us, and they led us while letting out a rope in case anything happened. Once I got used to it, we snorkeled around on our own, and when we got tired, we took a little break on the island with some tea and brown sugar. After leaving Barasu Island, we went to a point to see sea turtles and clownfish. Sea turtles were a bit hard to spot, but they guided us well at the point, and I was able to see two of them. I wanted to see them swimming, but there's nothing that can be done about that.
It was a short half-day course that was enjoyable and efficient, and I was very satisfied. However, since Barasu Island is a popular spot in Iriomote, many boats came in the morning, making the snorkeling a bit crowded. I heard that it gets much less crowded in the afternoon. I also thought it would be nice for women if the boat had a shaded roof and a restroom.
バラス島は潮の関係が時期によって形が変わったり数が増えたりする、いったいどんな島なんだろう・・・と思ったら、ほんとに大小の珊瑚が集まってできた島でした。
周辺の海の青さと、珊瑚ときれいなお魚達、ウミガメまで見れて、大満足です。
小さなペンションに宿泊してましたがちゃんとお迎えに来てくれました。
車は防水シートが敷いてあるので、濡れたままでも座れます。シュノーケルだけだったので、結局着替えずに帰ってきました。
上原港で催行会社のボートに乗り、バラス島を目指します。
船酔いが心配でしたが、景色に見とれていたらあっという間に着いたので問題ありませんでした。
バラス島でまず簡単なシュノーケリング講習。
丁寧に使い方とコツを教えてくれます。
浅いところからまず泳いで行って、少し深めのところまでいきます。
泳ぐのが久しぶりでも、これなら怖くありません。
珊瑚にカラフルなお魚たちが優雅に泳ぐ姿が沢山見られました。
久しぶりのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんがちゃんとついていてくれること、また何かあったときに引っ張れるロープなようなものを流しながら先導してくれたので安心でした。
慣れてきたら、自分達で周辺をシュノーケリング、疲れたら島でお茶と黒糖でちょっとひとやすみ。
バラス島を離れ、ウミガメとニモ(かくれくまのみ)のポイントへ行きます。
ウミガメはちょっと見つけづらいですが、ちゃんとポイントで教えてくれたのでしっかり2匹見れました。
泳ぐ姿が見たかったけど、こればかりは仕方がないですね。
半日の短い時間でサクッと楽しめるコース、効率も良く大満足です。
ただ、バラス島はやっぱり西表では人気スポットのため、午前には多くの船が来ていてシュノーケルもやや混みでした。午後になるとかなり空いているそうです。
女性には、ボートに日陰となる屋根と、お手洗いがあると嬉しいなと思いました。
