I was able to see a sky full of stars, moving stars (satellites), shooting stars, and the Milky Way.
At the beach, I could see turtle nests.
The moon was beautiful, but it seemed difficult to capture the stars with the camera due to the moonlight, so the photo of the starry sky provided by the tour wasn't great.
The photos of the insects and other creatures we received were beautiful.
The tour involves parking the car on a dirt road.
We walk from the dirt road through a thicket, observing insects and plants, until we reach the beach. It's the same path both ways.
満天の星、動く星(衛星)、流れ星、天の川を見ることが出来ました。
浜辺ではウミガメの穴を見ることができました。
月が綺麗で、月の明かりで星をカメラで写すには難しいようで、ツアーの方からいただいた星空との写真がイマイチでした。
いただいた虫や生物の写真は綺麗でした。
ツアーは、車を野道に置きます。
野道から雑木林を虫や植物を見ながら浜辺まで歩きます。往復同じ道です。
雑木林は暑く、雨の日のあとはぬかるみがあり、道が悪いです。

I was taken care of by Yumi, the guide. It seems that encountering the coconut crab, hermit crab, Ryukyu sea cucumber, and sea turtle nesting was a very rare experience. The fun time flew by in an instant.
ガイドのゆみちゃんにお世話になりました。ヤシガニ、オカヤドカリ、琉球このはずく、海亀の産卵にも出会えてとてもレアな事だったようです。楽しい時間はあっという間でした。
I think it's best to wear clothes that can get dirty and are easy to slip on when it's rainy. You might fall or get the hem dirty.
雨上がりの時などは滑りやすく、汚れてもよい服が良いと思います。転んだり、裾を汚したりするかもしれません。

I misunderstood that bike rentals were included in the activities on Taketomi Island, which caused some confusion upon arrival. I wish there had been an explanation at least when issuing the tickets. It seems that other customers received an explanation.
竹富島での過ごし方にレンタサイクルとあるので、含まれてると勘違いしてついてからゴタゴタしました。せめてチケット発行の時に説明がほしかったです。

I felt very relaxed while riding the water buffalo cart and listening to the sanshin.
I enjoyed a leisurely stroll on Yubu Island.
On Taketomi Island, I couldn't get a grasp of the schedule and only wandered around the port for a bit before returning, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied, but I think it was good that I was able to return to Ishigaki Island early.
水牛車に乗って三線を聞きながらとてものんびりとした気分でとても癒されました。
由布島ではゆっくり散歩気分で散策が楽しかったです。
竹富島では、段取りが把握できずに港の周りを少しだけ散策して直ぐに港に戻り少し不完全燃焼でしたが、石垣島に早く戻れたのはよかったと思っています。
I think planning how to spend your time on Taketomi Island will enhance your experience.
竹富島での過ごし方を計画立てると充実度が増すと思います。

Although there were slippery slopes and dirty areas along the way, it was a fantastic tour that my first-grade daughter enjoyed without fear, finding glowing scorpions and recognizing constellations! The guide was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island and various creatures, making sure all participants had a great time. On the way back, he diligently searched for creatures, and thanks to him, we were able to see a large habu snake! I highly recommend this for families with children!
道中、滑る斜面や汚れる場所もありますが、小1の娘でも怖がることなく、光るサソリや、知ってる星座を見つけて大満喫のツアーでした!
ガイドさんも、西表島のことや、生き物のことを色々教えてくれて、参加者が楽しめるよう配慮してくれる方で本当に楽しめました。帰り道の車でもどこかに生き物がいないか一生懸命探してくれて、そのおかげで大きいハブが見れました!
子ども連れでもおすすめです!
I participated in August, and since I wore long sleeves and long pants, I ended up sweating quite a bit. I recommend bringing a towel, drinks, and a small bag to carry your beverages.
8月に参加しましたが、長袖長ズボンということもあり、かなり汗びっしょりになるので、タオルや飲み物、飲み物を入れる小さいカバンを持っていくことをお勧めします。
Thank you very much for participating in the stargazing and night tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi! We also truly appreciate your wonderful review and the photos you shared.
I’m very glad to hear that your children enjoyed the glowing scorpions, the nocturnal creatures, and the starry sky!
During the tour, I made it a point to help you feel the charm of Iriomote Island's nature as deeply as possible, so it’s great to know you had a good time.
Please do come back to experience the great outdoors of Iriomote Island with your family again. I look forward to discovering new things together next time!

In the morning, we were picked up by the hotel, marking the start of our day. We took a boat from Euglena, navigating up the mangrove river while enjoying views of the various islands. Our main goal was to ride in an ox cart, swaying gently while listening to the island songs played on the sanshin. The day continued leisurely to Yubu Island and then to Taketomi Island, making it a truly fulfilling experience.
朝ホテルにお迎えが来てくれて一日の始まりでした。ユーグレナから船に乗って、各島々を見ながらマングローブの川を遡上…1番の目的の牛車に揺られ、三線の音で島唄を聞きながら、ゆっくりと由布島へそして竹富島へと続いた1日はとっても充実感あふれるものでした。

Due to the season, the outdoor waiting times at various points were minimal, allowing us to conserve our energy. The breeze during the mangrove tour was pleasant, and traveling by water buffalo was enjoyable. There were two participants from our group, but for some reason, the others were all part of a tour group, leading to an early departure for the ferry and other activities. At the water buffalo riding area in Yufu, our two groups were left waiting until the very end without guidance, which was quite concerning.
季節柄、ポイントポイントでの屋外の待ち時間が少なくて体力が温存できました。
マングローブツアーの風が気持ちよいし、水牛での移動も楽しかったです。
こちらからのツアー参加者は、2人、2組で
なぜか他はツアー団体ご一行様と同じで、フェリーなど出発予定時間よりかなり早い出航となったり、由布での水牛乗り場では2組だけ最後の最後まで案内されなくて不安でしかありませんでした。

The date I initially wanted to book was fully booked, but when I inquired just in case, they were able to accommodate my reservation. Their response was very quick, and I was able to smoothly change my schedule, so I felt it was a good decision to book with Veltra even before participating.
The tour content was, of course, very satisfying. Since the itinerary did not include a stop at Taketomi Island, I would like to visit Taketomi Island next time I go.
最初に予約したかった日が満席だったのですが、ダメ元で問い合わせてみたところ、予約OKしていただき、またとても迅速な対応、スムーズに日程変更もできたので、参加する前からベルトラで申込みをしてよかったと思いました。
ツアー内容も、もちろんとても満足度の高い内容でした。竹富島へは寄らない内容だったので、次回行く時は竹富島へも行ってみたいと思いました。

There are several companies offering similar tours, but it seems they operate their own boats, making for a safe and comfortable journey.

The great nature of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island, and actually riding a water buffalo on Taketomi Island created wonderful memories.
However, I felt a bit regretful that if we had a little more time on Taketomi Island, we could have explored other places as well. That said, I was very satisfied with how fulfilling the day was!

Although my plans were slightly disrupted due to a canceled flight, I made my first visit to Iriomote Island. Since I was in Iriomote, I thought I should go on an adventure and decided to try canoeing. Fortunately, the weather improved. I was a bit anxious because I had children with me, but thanks to J's explanations, guidance, and assistance, it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The kids seemed to have made great memories and want to go again tomorrow! Thank you for the great experience!

I was busy visiting three islands in one day, but I was able to efficiently see the highlights, which made me excited for my next trip as a first-time visitor. Riding the water buffalo cart was a lot of fun since it was my first time. While traveling to Yubu Island on the water buffalo cart, I discovered a fiddler crab. I was moved to see the fiddler crab, which I had only known from songs, right in front of me! The oil miso from Yubu Island that we had on the tour was exquisite. I couldn't help but buy some at the souvenir shop. I was torn between exploring the mangroves of Iriomote Island by canoe or kayak or taking a sightseeing boat, but choosing this tour was definitely the right decision for me. It was great to ride the boat and leisurely reflect on the mangrove ecosystem while listening to the guide's explanations. The bus driver's sightseeing commentary while traveling on Iriomote Island was also outstanding. Although it was a short time, I was able to learn more about Iriomote Island than what is in the guidebooks.
一日で3つの島を回るので忙しかったです。が、見どころを効率よく見れたので初めて訪れた旅行者には次回の旅行への期待が膨らみました。水牛車に乗るのは初めてだったのでとても楽しかったです。由布島に水牛車で移動中に、シオマネキを発見。これまで歌でしか知らなかったシオマネキを目の前で見ることができ感動!ツアーで食べた由布島の油味噌は絶品でした。思わず土産物屋で買ってしまいました。西表島のマングローブをカヌーやカヤックで巡るか観光ボートにするか迷ったけどこのツアーにして私は大正解。ボートに乗り、船頭さんの解説を聞きながらゆったりとマングローブの生態系に思いを馳せれたのはよかったです。西表島を移動中のバスの運転手さんの観光案内も大変すばらしかったです。短い時間ですが西表島のことをガイドブック以上に知ることができました。
I recommend it for those who have limited time or are visiting for the first time, as it allows you to efficiently explore various places.
いろいろな所を効率よく巡るので、時間のない方や初めての方にお勧めです。

When it rains, it can be cold until you reach the next point, so it might be a good idea to prepare for the cold while on the boat.

We participated as a family of four, with two daughters (one in 4th grade and the other in 2nd grade). From the departure point, we went through the turnaround point to the goal, and it was a solid distance. We enjoyed the experience together, feeling excited and returning to our childhood! Personally, the sunlight filtering through the mangrove forest was incredibly beautiful and became an unforgettable experience. My 2nd-grade daughter was able to paddle with an adult paddle all the way to the end, so I think elementary school students have no problem physically. The experience of maneuvering the canoe together while struggling was very rewarding. The guide provided slow and careful support, and shared stories about the nature and lifestyle of Iriomote Island at various points, making it a very enjoyable and educational time.
夫婦、子供二人(小4、小2ともに女の子)で参加させていただきました。
出発から折り返し地点を経由してゴールまで、しっかりと距離もあって、子供と一緒にドキドキしながら童心に帰って楽しめました!!個人的には、マングローブの森の中で見た木漏れ日がとても綺麗で忘れられない体験になりました。
小2の娘も大人用パドルで、最後まで漕げたので、小学生であれば十分体力的にも問題ないと思います。四苦八苦しながら一緒に協力しあってカヌーを操縦する体験はとてもいい経験になりました。

The guide was very enjoyable and explained everything well, allowing us to walk without fear even in the dark. We were able to see a perfect starry sky and coconut crabs, making it a valuable experience.
ガイドさんもとても楽しく説明してくれて、暗い中でも怖がらず歩けました。
満点の星空とヤシガニもみられて貴重な経験ができました。
It's better to use the restroom in advance, and I think having a towel that can be hung around your neck is especially useful in the summer.
事前にお手洗いを済ませておいた方が良いのと
夏場は特に首にかけられるタオルがあるといいと思いました、

This was a half-day canoe experience. Our guide, Mr. Seki, was truly wonderful and provided accurate guidance, allowing us to enjoy the activity safely throughout. We learned a lot, including recommendations for shops and explanations about the mangroves. I definitely want to go again. Thank you very much.
今回半日のカヌー体験でした。
担当ガイドの関さんが本当に素晴らしく的確なガイドをしてくださり、終始安全にアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
おすすめのお店や、マングローブの説明など学びも多かったです。
ぜひまた行きたいと思えました。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating in the mangrove tour today!
The water in the Urauchi River during the mangrove tour was crystal clear and very beautiful! The mangrove tour is wonderful at both low tide and high tide. At low tide, you can see the creatures that live under the river, and at high tide, you can venture deep into the tributaries. Experience these two, and you'll be a master of the Urauchi River!
When you come back to Iriomote Island, let's definitely go on a tour together!

本日はマングローブツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました!
マングローブツアーでの浦内川の水が透き通っていましたね、とても綺麗でした!マングローブツアーでは干潮時、満潮時どちらとも素敵です、干潮時は川の下に住んでいる生き物が出てきた、満潮時には支流の奥まで進むことが出来ます。この2つを味わえば浦内川マスターです!!
また西表島にお越しの際は、ぜひご一緒にツアーに出かけましょう!

We used this service to visit three remote islands in one day, as arranging it ourselves would have taken too much time! Other than the transportation, we had basically free time and were able to enjoy it at our own pace.
1日で離島3つ回るには個人手配では、時間もかかるため利用しました!
移動以外は基本的に自由行動で、自分たちのペースでゆっくり楽しめました。

I don't think I could have visited so many places on my own from morning until evening, so I really enjoyed being taken around on the tour.
個人では朝から夕方までの間でこんなにたくさんまわれなかったと思うので、ツアーで連れて行ってもらえてとても満喫できました。
During hot seasons, it's essential to take measures against the heat. The mangrove tour can get very hot when moving slowly, and it was also quite hot during the water buffalo trek. The bus and ferry
暑い時期は暑さ対策必須です。マングローブ遊覧では徐行になると大変暑く、水牛での散策時も大変暑かったです。バスとフェリーは涼しいです。

We canoed and trekked to the Pinaisara Falls. Climbing up and down, then canoeing again! You need to be fit, but I saw a family on the way, with the mother carrying a baby on her back. Amazing!
We felt rushed due to time constraints as we were heading to Yubu Island in the afternoon to ride the water buffalo cart, and I wish we could have enjoyed a bit more of nature. Next time I come to Iriomote Island, I plan to schedule with more flexibility.
カヌーを漕ぎ、ピナイサーラの滝までトレッキング。登って降りて、またカヌーを漕ぐ!体力がないとダメだけど、途中ですれ違った家族、お母さんが赤ちゃんを背負っていました。すごい!
私たちは、午後から由布島に行く水牛車に乗るため、時間の関係で急がされた感じがあり、もう少し自然を感じることが出来たら良かったと思います。
次に西表島に来る時は、余裕を持ってスケジュールを立てようと思います。
The staff provides thorough explanations and shares various stories about Iriomote Island. They also lent me trekking shoes, so I didn't slip at all. You can use the shower for an additional fee befor
スタッフの方は丁寧に説明してくれるし、西表島の色々なお話もしてくれます。トレッキング用の靴も貸してくれたので、滑ることもなかったです。午後から水牛車に乗る前にシャワーは別料金ですが使うこともできます。

As a person in my 60s traveling alone, I was initially worried about the meeting point, bus station, and restrooms, but everything was taken into consideration. The water buffalo cart that I was looking forward to was wonderful, and what exceeded my expectations was the bus tour of Iriomote Island with the driver's guidance. I was also able to see the butterflies I wanted to see during my free time on Yubu Island. Although the ferry ride between Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands was long, I enjoyed it, and I'm dreaming of a trip where I can stay on Iriomote Island next time.
60代、1人参加なので集合場所やバス乗り場、お手洗いなど不安でしたが全てに配慮されていました。
楽しみにしていた水牛車はもちろん、予想以上に良かったのは西表島のバス観光で運転手さんのガイド。由布島での自由時間に見たかった蝶を見れた事。
石垣と西表島の船の時間が長いことも楽しみながら、次は西表島に滞在する旅も夢見ています。
I think it would be helpful to prepare for the temperature difference between the heat outside and the bus by using appropriate clothing and items.
外の暑さとバスなどの温度差対策、服装やグッズで少しでも対策できると楽かなと思います。

I was amazed by the 17.5 km mangrove and felt inspired! Thank you, Yuka the water buffalo, for doing such a great job transporting us! The plants and food on Yubu Island were delicious. I also enjoyed Taketomi Island; all of it became wonderful memories.
17.5kmもあるマングローブに驚きパワーをいただき感動しました!
水牛のゆうかちゃん、よく頑張って私たちを運んでくれて有難う!
由布島の植物、お食事もおいしかったです。竹富島も満喫、いずれもいい思い出になりました。
The mangroves are definitely a must-see!
マングローブは是非、必見です!

The thicket is hot, and after rainy days, there are muddy areas and the roads are bad. We returned to the hotel in Painehuama around 10 PM.
