Overall, I think it was good, and the schedule was flexible. However, there is one point that concerns me regarding the lunch time on Yufu Island. I was informed that lunch could be taken at any time while we were on the island (as long as we made it back in time for the return water buffalo cart), but in reality, the schedule was set to have lunch first upon arriving at Yufu Island. Not knowing this, I was about to explore Yufu Island when I was called by name and told, "Lunch is first. Please don't be late." I felt very uncomfortable, as I thought I hadn't been informed about this. I'm not sure if there was a lack of communication among the staff or if it was due to insufficient explanation, but I believe this should not be left ambiguous.
スケジュール的にも余裕はあり、基本的にはよかったと思います。
一点だけ気になるところとしては、由布島での昼食時間についてです。
昼食は島内にいる時間のうちでもいつでも良い
(帰りの水牛車の時間に間に合えば)と説明を受けていたのですが、実際はまず由布島について昼食をとるというスケジュールになっておりました。
それを知らず、まず由布島を回ろうとしていたところ
名前で呼び出されてしまい、「昼食が先です。遅れないでください」的なことを言われ、
そんなことは聞いてないと思うと同時に大変不快でした。
スタッフ間での連携が取れていなかったのか、
スタッフの説明不足だったのかわかりませんが
その辺を曖昧にしてはいけないと思います。

It was a packed tour that seemed like it would be hectic, but the transportation was efficient and there was no waste of time. Even though we visited several places, we had relatively ample time at each location, making for a fulfilling day. I was also very satisfied with the buffalo cart ride that I had always dreamed of.
内容盛りだくさんのツアーで慌しい感じになると思いきや移動はテキパキとしていて無駄が無い為、何ヵ所も巡ったのに滞在場所では比較的時間があり充実した1日でした。憧れの水牛車にも大満足です。

Iriomote Island is vast, so for first-timers or those who want to conquer it without much time to spare, this tour is recommended. The weather was clear, and the boat was large and spacious, which was great. Since it was a holiday, I was prepared for it, but it's a pity that I couldn't feel the quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
西表島は広いので初めての方、時間にゆとりが無くとりあえず制覇したい方には、おすすめのツアーです。晴天で船も大きく広くて良かったです。連休なので覚悟はしていましたが、静かでゆったりした気分にはなれなかったのが残念です。

They quickly accommodated my last-minute reservation the day before. During the first half of the snorkeling, I was able to swim with the blue corals and many fish swimming around them. In the second half, we progressed through the jungle on a stand-up paddleboard and then trekked to a waterfall. The weather was great, and it was the best experience. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, sharing stories about Iriomote Island while we moved to the activity locations, which was very enjoyable. Additionally, the guide took many photos during the tour and sent them to us later, which was excellent. We didn't have to worry about taking pictures, so we could fully enjoy the activities.
前日の急な予約にも素早く対応していただけました。前半のシュノーケルでは、青い珊瑚やそこに群がるたくさんのお魚たちと一緒に泳ぐことができました。後半では、SUPでジャングルの中を進み、途中からトレッキングをして滝を目指しました。天気も良く最高でした。ガイドさんも非常に親しみやすく知識豊富なため、アクティビティの場所に移動するまでの間も西表島のお話をしてくださり、とても楽しめました。また、ツアー中はガイドさんが写真をたくさんとってくれていて後から写真をおくってもらえたのも非常に良かったです。自分たちは写真を撮る必要がなかったため、全力でアクティビティを楽しめました。

Since I was staying on Iriomote Island, I wanted to participate in a night tour, so I joined this tour. The day before I made the reservation, the weather forecast predicted clear skies, but unfortunately, the weather was terrible on the day of the tour! It was a tour in heavy rain.
I later learned that the weather forecast for Iriomote Island is often unreliable, so if you have the flexibility, I think same-day reservations are better. A great aspect of this night tour is that they accept reservations quite close to the tour time. If you can only participate on that day, I would still encourage you to join even in the rain! It’s such an attractive experience.
Exploring the jungle in bad weather was amazing! With no stars visible, it was incredibly dark—so dark that you couldn’t see the face of the person next to you without a light. When it’s clear, the stars on Iriomote Island are stunning, so even in the dark, there’s a faint brightness. I thought this was a unique experience that you can’t have otherwise.
Although it was raining, the dense jungle provided cover, so I didn’t get too wet during the exploration! The jungle is incredible!
The highlight of the tour was the guide. The guide was so dedicated and thoughtful about what we could do despite the weather, and I was really touched by their kindness! They shared various knowledge and taught us about the starry sky of Iriomote Island, which was truly beneficial. Thanks to this guide, I was able to enjoy myself until the end, even with the bad weather!
One of the best experiences was encountering a coconut crab! I had no idea what a coconut crab was, but it looked more like a cute, round spider than a crab, and it was adorable. I felt like I had stepped into the world of Animal Crossing!
I was also happy to see fireflies, even if just for a little while. I will never forget the large, twinkling starry sky that appeared through a break in the clouds at the end. It truly became a wonderful memory.
I was also delighted to receive photos from the tour; this service was fantastic!
I definitely want everyone to participate in this tour when you visit Iriomote Island!!!
西表島に宿泊するからにはナイトツアーに参加したいと思いこのツアーに参加しました
前日に予約した段階では天気予報は晴れでしたが当日はあいにくの大荒れの天気!強い雨が降りしきる中のツアーでした
あとから知ったのですが西表島は天気予報があてにならないので余裕があるのであれば当日予約がいいかなと思いました。このナイトツアーは当日のわりとギリギリの時間までツアーを受け付けてくれるのがいい点です
※この日しか参加できない!というのであれば雨でもせっかくなら参加してほしいです。それぐらい魅力的な経験ができます
悪天の中ジャングルを探索!星が一つも見えない中なのでライトがなければ信じられないくらい本当の暗闇!隣にいる人の顔も見えません。西表島は晴れだと星がめちゃくちゃ綺麗なので暗くてもどこかほんのり明るいです。なので逆にこれはこれで体験できないすごい経験だと思いました
また雨が降っていたのですがジャングルの木々が生い茂っているので木々が傘がわりとなり探索中はあまり濡れませんでした!ジャングルすごい!
そんな中最高だったのがこのツアーのガイドさんです
ガイドの人が一生懸命いろいろ天候の中できることを考えてくれてすごいいい人だなーと思って感動しました!
色々な知識も教えてくれて西表島の星空も教えてくれて本当にためになりました
このガイドさんだったから天候が悪くても最後まで楽しく過ごせました!
そんな中ヤシガニに出会えたことが最高の経験でした!
ヤシガニのことはまったく知らなかったのですがカニというよりは丸っこい愛らしいフォルムのクモという感じですごく可愛かったです
完全にどうぶつの森の世界にきた気持ちになりました!
あと少しだけでしたがホタルも見ることができて嬉しかったです
最後雲の切れ間から見えた大きく瞬く星空が忘れられません
本当に楽しい思い出になりました
また写真も送って頂けてこのサービスがとても嬉しかったです
ぜひ西表島にきた際は皆さんにこのツアーに参加して欲しいです!!!

This was my third time on Iriomote Island, and I finally got to visit Barasu Island. Depending on the weather, it can be inaccessible, but this time I was able to go! It was about a 10-minute ride from the port on a cruiser. I got to sit at the very front, which made me feel like a dolphin, and that was fun!
Barasu Island is formed from coral, and part of it was submerged due to high sea levels, but the surrounding water was clear and beautiful. The coral reefs were amazing, and I was able to see table corals as well as rare red and blue corals. I also encountered clownfish and enjoyed snorkeling. The staff from Pipi were always attentive to safety, which made me feel secure throughout the trip!
We explored the Kuira River, which felt like a jungle cruise at Disneyland, using canoes and stand-up paddleboards. The mystical scenery changed with the light. Our guide, Mu-san, was entertaining and always brightened the atmosphere, responding warmly to any situation! Thanks to them, I had a wonderful experience.
今回は3回目の西表島で、
ようやくバラス島に行けました。天候次第で行けない場合もあり、今回初めて行く事が出来ました!
クルーザーで港から10分程度!一番前に座らせて頂き、まるで、イルカの様な気持ちになれ、それも面白かった!
バラス島はサンゴが滞留して出来た島で、海の水位が高く一部埋もれていましたが、周りの海の透明度は高く綺麗でした。
サンゴ礁も素晴らしくテーブルサンゴや赤、青の珍しいサンゴも見る事が出来ました。
クマノミにも出会えシュノーケルを堪能しました。サポートでpipiのスタッフが常に安全を気をつけておられ、終始安心出来ました!
クーラ川での、disney landのジャングルクルーズの様な大自然、マングローブの中をカヌーとSUPにて行いました。光の加減でクルクル変わる神秘的な景色。ガイドのむーさんは面白く、いつも場を明るく盛り上げ、どんな状況でも温かく対応してくれました!おかげで素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

This is a highly satisfying tour where you can enjoy both the night jungle and the starry sky in just two hours! We were able to safely encounter various precious creatures in a jungle that you definitely can't visit at night without a guide! The guide's explanations were also full of intriguing content, allowing us to learn deeply about the ecology of the creatures on Iriomote Island. (The guide's effort to find as many creatures as possible left a great impression!)
Although it was unfortunately cloudy during the stargazing, the guide taught us observation methods to see the stars better even in cloudy conditions, so I was very satisfied! Additionally, after the tour, I received photos of the starry sky and a time-lapse video taken by the guide, which made me happy to have those memories recorded!
Thank you for the enjoyable time! I will participate again, believing in clear skies next time!!
2時間でナイトジャングルと星空の2つを楽しめる満足度の高いツアーです!ガイドさん無しでは夜に絶対にいけないようなジャングルで様々な貴重な生物に安全に会うことができました!またガイドさんの説明も興味をそそる内容ばかりで西表島の生物の生態を深く知ることができます。(ガイドさんは少しでも多くの生物を紹介するために一生懸命に生き物を探してくれ流のも好印象でした!)
星空観測時はあいにくの曇りでしたが、曇りでも星が少しでもよく見えるように観測方法を教えて頂けたので十分に満足できました!
加えて、ツアー終了後、ガイドさんが撮った星空の写真やタイムラプス動画ももらえたのでそこも思い出が記録として残って嬉しかったです!
楽しい時間をありがとうございました!次は晴天と信じてまた参加します!!

I was happy to participate as planned despite the heavy rain the day before, which made it uncertain if we could go to Barasu Island. The main purpose of this trip was Barasu Island, but since we went around high tide, it felt more like standing on an island that was sinking into the sea! The water was beautiful, and the snorkeling was done at a pace that checked in with the participants, which made me feel at ease. It was a pity that I couldn't see any turtles, but I want to try again!
The canoeing in the mangroves was more fun than I imagined, with plants and insects I had never seen before. The guide provided detailed explanations for each one, allowing me to appreciate the joy of Iriomote Island even more. The growth process of the octopus sausages was also interesting. The "ton-ton-mi" was cute too!
I appreciated that the guide remembered the participants' names and spoke to each of us politely, took lots of photos, and sent them right after the tour. The office's shower and restroom were very clean, which was all great!
I haven't found many tours during my travels that I truly enjoyed, but this time I felt like I wanted to participate again!!! I highly recommend the tour on Iriomote Island with PIPI!!!
前日の大雨でバラス島は決行出来ないかもしれないということでしたが、無事予定通り参加出来嬉しかったです
今回の一番の目的がバラス島だったのですが満潮に近い時間に行ったため上陸というか、海に沈む島に立つっていう感じでした笑 海はとってもキレイでシュノーケリングも参加者のペースを確認しながら行ってくれたので安心感がありました。亀が見れなかったのが残念でしたがリベンジしたいです!!
マングローブでのカヌーが想像以上に楽しくて、見たことがない植物や昆虫達。ひとつひとつ丁寧に説明を混ぜて案内してくれたので西表島の楽しさをより感じられました。
たこさんウインナーの成長過程も面白かったです。
とんとんみーも可愛かったです笑
参加者の名前をきちんと記憶されていてそれぞれにていねいに話しかけられていたこと、写真をたくさん撮ってくださりツアー後すぐに送って頂けたこと、事務所のシャワーとトイレがとても綺麗だったことすべてが良かったです☺️

Paddleboarding while watching the mangroves along the Kura River was exciting and fun. They also lent us shoes, so we could take a light trek to Kura Falls. Additionally, our guide (Mu-san) was a funny guy who kept the atmosphere lively, which was great.
The weather was nice, so we really enjoyed snorkeling at Balas Island. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, we were able to see plenty of coral and beautiful fish.

I stayed in Ishigaki Island but wanted to fully enjoy Iriomote Island, so I participated in the one-day course for Mangrove SUP and snorkeling at Barasu Island. The reason I chose this was simply because of the high ratings in the reviews. But it turned out to be a great decision!

On the day of the trip, there were some waves, and we stayed at Barasu Island for just a few minutes. It might be difficult for those who are not good at swimming to enjoy snorkeling.
We boarded the boat around 9:30 and quickly visited two points in the morning. We arrived at the small Hatoma Island around 11:30, ate rice balls, and then went for a walk on the island. We departed for the last point at 1:30 PM. There were waves, and the seawater was somewhat murky, so the visibility wasn't very good, which was a bit disappointing. However, we were able to see some fish, including sea snakes, so that was nice.
The driver also acted as a guide, but there was no explanation about the points, so it felt like we were snorkeling on our own. Since it was a full-day tour, it would have been better to have a proper guide.
当日波が多少あり、バラス島にはほんの数分間滞在しました。泳ぎ苦手な人にはシュノーケリングしづらいかもしれないです。
9時半ごろ船に乗り、午前中あっという間に2ポイント周り、11時半頃小さい鳩間島到着、おにぎりを食べ、島散歩へ、午後1時半最後の1ポイントへ出発。波があり、海水多少濁っていて、透明度があまり良くなく、驚くほどの感動がないですが、ウミヘビなど魚がある程度見えたのでよかったです。
ドライバーさんが兼ガイドのような感じで、ポイントなどの説明がなく、自分で適当にシュノーケリングみたいな感覚です。
せっかく1日のツアーなので、ちゃんとしたガイドさんがいてくれたほうがいいですね。

The tour company picked us up at the hotel. We chose the SPU option, so after a brief lecture, we set off right away. My husband fell off the board immediately after standing on it, perhaps due to his poor athletic ability, but fortunately, the water was shallow. The guide explained about the mangrove forest as we progressed, allowing us to enjoy both trekking and the mangrove experience. At the final destination near the waterfall, we had some time for photos, and a young group bathed right under the waterfall.
In the afternoon, we switched to the water buffalo cart course on Yufu Island. While riding the water buffalo cart, we listened to shamisen music. The island itself was like a botanical garden, and we were able to take many great photos, which was wonderful.
ツアー会社がホテルに迎えてくれました。
私たちはSPUを選んたので、レクチャー数分受け後すぐ出発しました。夫の運動神経が悪いせいか、板の上に立った後すぐ転落してしまいました、幸い水が浅かったです^0^
ガイドさんがマングローブの道中説明をしながら進んでいくので、トレッキングとマングローブ林浴を満喫できました。最終地点の滝あたりで、撮影時間が有り、若いグループが滝の真下で水浴びしました。
午後は由布島の水牛車コースへ変更しました。水牛車に乗りながら、三味線を聞きました。島自体は植物園のようで、良い写真がたくさん取れて、よかったです。

The tour was incredibly satisfying both in the morning and afternoon.
We took a boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island at 8:30 AM. As soon as we arrived, we met our guide who provided an overview of the tour in the car, and then we headed to the mangrove canoe/SUP experience location.

Additionally, during the snorkeling experience around Barasu Island, we were able to see many fish that can only be found at this spot.
The guide also took photos while we were swimming, diving underwater to capture shots, resulting in a unique keepsake that we could only get here.
The morning mangrove tour with the guide's explanations allowed us to learn about the creatures and plants living in the forest, and the snorkeling experience in the beautiful sea in the afternoon made for an unforgettable day that we couldn't have gotten anywhere else.

During my stay in the Yaeyama Islands over the Golden Week, I had a short one-night visit to Iriomote Island, but I was able to fully enjoy the sea, mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. I felt reassured to participate since we communicated in advance about the meeting place and what to bring.
【Kura Falls】
We leisurely explored the mangroves by canoe and walked to the waterfall from a certain point. Along the way, our guide Diego shared insights about the ecosystem of Iriomote and the local flora and fauna, which deepened my knowledge and made for a wonderful experience. I was completely satisfied with my time in the Galapagos of the East.
【Barasu Island Snorkeling】
In the water depths of about 7-15 meters, there were colorful corals and fish in blue and yellow, and the sea was so clear that it was almost intimidating. Although the temperature was close to 30°C, the water wasn't too warm, so I recommend renting a wetsuit.
Despite it being high season, I received the photos via LINE on the same day, which became a great memory. Our guide Diego and everyone else were kind and friendly, making it a heartwarming trip. Thank you very much.
GW期間中の八重山滞在で、西表島には一泊と短い滞在期間でしたが、海も山も川も滝も満喫することができました。
集合場所や持ち物など、事前にコミュニケーションがとれたので安心して参加することができました。
【クーラの滝】
マングローブをカヌーでゆっくり散策し、途中から歩いて滝に到着。道中では、ガイドのジエゴさんから西表の生態系や、動植物について話を伺えたので知識が深まり、素晴らしい体験ができました。東洋のガラパゴスを満喫できて大満足です。
【バラス島シュノーケリング】
水深7-15m程のところに青や黄色の色とりどりの珊瑚礁や魚がいて、透明度が高すぎて怖くなるほどに綺麗な海でした。気温は30℃近くありましたが、水温が高くないので、ウェットスーツのレンタルがおすすめです。
ハイシーズンにもかかわらず、写真は当日中にLINEで送っていただき、大変良い思い出になりました。ガイドのジエゴさんはじめ、皆さま優しく気さくな人柄で、心も温まる旅行になりました。ありがとうございました。

I went snorkeling and canoeing for the first time, and I felt very safe and enjoyed it! The snorkeling was at Balas Island, and it was uncertain whether we could go due to the weather, but I received a call the day before, and they proposed alternatives in case we couldn't go. I appreciated the communication the day before; it was very courteous, and I felt reassured and enjoyed myself.
I had some experience with snorkeling before, but this was the first time I encountered such deep and beautiful coral spots. They took a lot of photos and sent them to me on the same day. I highly recommend this tour!!
初めてシュノーケリングやカヌーをしましたが、非常に安心して楽しめました!
シュノーケリングはバラス島であり、天候により行けるかどうか怪しかったですが、前日に電話があり、もし行けなかった場合のことも考え、代替案を提案してくれました。前日から連絡をいただけ、非常に丁寧で、安心して楽しめました。
また、シュノーケリングは何度か経験がありましたが、あんなに深くて綺麗な珊瑚のあるスポットは初めてでした。
写真もたくさん撮って頂いて、当日中に送信していただけました。とてもおすすめのツアーです!!

Which island should I visit? Where is interesting? I had so many questions that I decided to sign up for a tour. The tour around the islands was very fulfilling, with introductions to sights while riding a water buffalo cart and singing with a sanshin.
If I had to mention a downside, each itinerary was packed tightly, making it feel a bit rushed, and it wasn't a leisurely sightseeing experience. (If possible, I would have preferred more free exploration time on Taketomi Island instead of Yubu Island.)
However, I was able to feel the charm of the islands and the relaxed flow of time, which was very nice. Next, I want to visit each island one by one.
どの島に行ったらいいの?どこがおもしろい?見所は??など、本当にわからないことばかりだったので思い切ってツアーを申込みました。三島めぐって水牛車では見所紹介や三線で歌を歌ってくれたりととても充実してました。
難を挙げるなら、ひとつひとつの行程がぎゅっとつまっていて慌ただしく、ゆっくりと観光……という感じではありませんでした。
(できれば由布島ではなく竹富で自由探索の時間を長く設けて欲しかったです。。)
ただ、島の良さやゆったりとした時間の流れを感じることができたのでとてもよかったです。
次はひとつひとつの島を訪ねたいと思います。

I'm so happy that I was able to ride a water buffalo cart and fulfill my dream!! Since I have a one-year-old child, I was unsure whether to go on my own considering the time, but I'm glad I chose the tour! First of all, we could get on right away without waiting for tickets, so the timing was smooth, which was the best part. The buffalo was super cute!!
水牛車に乗れて、夢を叶えることが出来て幸せです!!
1歳の子供がいるので、時間の事を考えると個人で行こうか迷ったけど、、ツアーで良かったと思います!まずは次々とチケットを待たずにすぐ乗れるので、時間がスムーズだったのが1番です。
牛、めちゃ可愛かった〜!!

The limestone cave was much more authentic than I expected; it felt more like an exploration than a tourist attraction! Since it was my first experience, I had a lot of fun.
It was also my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and I really enjoyed getting to see the mangroves up close and visiting the waterfall.
We couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the wind, but that's just how nature is. I would like to try again when I come back to Iriomote Island.
Thank you!
鍾乳洞は思っていたよりずっと本格的で観光では無く探検でした!初めての経験だったのでとても楽しかったです。
SUPも初めてでしたが、マングローブを近くで見れたり滝に行ったりととても楽しい時間でした。
バラス島は風の影響で行けませんでしたが、自然が相手なので仕方ありませんね。
また西表島に来たときに再度チャレンジしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました!

On the day, we were blessed with good weather and saw a perfect starry sky. The jungle tour was also fun as we got to see various creatures! I think I will ask again when I come back to Iriomote Island. Thank you!
当日はお天気にも恵まれ、満点の星空が見れました。ジャングルツアーも色々な生き物が見れて楽しかったです!また西表島に来たらお願いしようと思います。ありがとうございました!

Each island had its own unique characteristics, making the course never boring. The lunch was also delicious, featuring a nice assortment of local dishes.
それぞれの島の特徴が違っていて飽きないコースでした
昼食も郷土料理が程よく詰め合わせになっていて美味しかったです

After arriving at Iriomote Island from Ishigaki Island, we had a restroom break, and then we boarded the mangrove cruise. As a family, we were lined up behind solo travelers and two adults. The people in front had scattered themselves in the window seats, and when the staff asked us to sit separately, I was honestly taken aback.
Our family was forced to sit apart, and my child became sad and started to cry, making it very difficult to enjoy the mangroves.
This tour consistently operated on a first-come, first-served basis, and it was impressive to see two single women rushing to line up ahead of everyone else. It's frustrating to be shown such human behavior while on vacation. I thought the seating arrangement was a chance for the tour company to showcase their skills.
石垣島→西表島へ到着後にトイレ休憩があって、その後マングローブ遊覧船に乗るのですが、家族連れの私達は、お一人様や大人二人の方の後に並んでいました。前の方達がまばらに窓側の席を陣取っておられ、その光景を見た店員さんから、別々に座ってくださいと言われた時には正直呆れてしまいました。
家族がバラバラに離れて座らされて、子どもは悲しくて泣き出し、とてもマングローブを楽しむ気分にはなれませんでした。
こちらのツアーでは一貫して、早いもの勝ちで進行されていて、独身女性2人組の方は、我先にと並んでいたのが印象的でした。
旅行に来てまで人間臭いものを見せられるのはうんざりです。席配置に関しては、ツアー会社の腕の見せ所なのかなと思いました。

Unfortunately, the weather was not favorable, and I couldn't see the starry sky, so I only experienced the night safari. I recommend making a reservation on a clear day if you want to see the stars! I was very grateful that same-day reservations were also accepted. During the night safari, I was able to see two coconut crabs, island fireflies, and hermit crabs. Walking through the dark jungle had a thrilling atmosphere, which was exciting and fun. As a side note, insects are attracted to the light of the flashlight, so those who are not fond of bugs should be a little cautious. I also thought it would be nice if there were discounts or services for days when the stars couldn't be seen!
あいにくお天気に恵まれず、一番の目的だった星空は見られなかったため、ナイトサファリのみとなりました。星空を見たい方は、晴天の日に予約することをオススメします!当日予約でも大丈夫だったのはとても有難かったです。ナイトサファリではヤシガニ2匹と島ホタル、ヤドカリなどを見ることが出来ました。暗いジャングルを進むのは、肝試し的な雰囲気もありドキドキして楽しかったです。補足ですが懐中電灯の光に飛ぶ虫が寄ってくるので、苦手な方は少し注意です。あと星を見られなかった日は減額などのサービスがあると良いなと思いました!

I had been wanting to go to Iriomote Island, and since it's a nature-filled island, I thought it would be best to join a tour with a guide, so I made a reservation the day before my visit. Originally, I had planned to do mangrove SUP and snorkeling, but due to an unusual typhoon in April, I was contacted the day before and my snorkeling was changed to canyoning.
I was looking forward to snorkeling, but canyoning turned out to be incredibly fun, so it ended up being a great experience. I jumped into the river, slid down waterfalls, and dove right into the beautiful, cold river, which felt amazing.
For lunch, we had about two hours of free time, and I ate near Uehara Port and relaxed on the beach. I appreciated the recommendations for good places to eat.
In the afternoon, I did SUP and felt very relaxed among the mangroves. I learned a lot about the plants and nature, which made me appreciate the charm of Iriomote Island even more.
Additionally, I was taken to a limestone cave, which was a real cave and not at all easy, so I was very surprised. I felt the power of nature on Iriomote Island, and my guide, Nakao-san, was excellent and made the experience enjoyable. I want to come back to Iriomote Island again. Thank you!
西表島に行きたいと思っていたのですが、自然溢れる島なので、ガイドの方にツアーしていただきたいと思い、行く前日に申し込みました。元々マングローブSUPとシュノーケリングの予定でしたが、4月の珍しい台風の影響で、前日にご連絡いただきシュノーケリングはキャニオニングに変更しました。
シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたのですが、キャニオニングがめちゃくちゃ楽しかったので結果的にとてもよかったです。川に飛び込んだり、滝滑りをしたり、いきなりガンガン川に飛び込みましたが川も綺麗で冷たくてとっても気持ち良かったです。
お昼は2時間程度自由行動があり、上原港の近くでお昼を食べて、ビーチでのんびりしました。おすすめのお店も教えてもらえて助かりました。
午後はSUPをして、マングローブにとっても癒されました。植物や自然など沢山教えてもらえて西表島の魅力をさらに感じました。
また追加で鍾乳洞にも連れて行ってもらったのですが、全然優しくないリアルな鍾乳洞でとてもびっくりでした。西表島の自然のパワーを感じ、ガイドの中尾さんもとっても良いガイドさんで楽しかったです。西表島にまた来たくなりました。ありがとうございました!

Due to bad weather, we couldn't go to the Miracle Island, but I really enjoyed the alternative tour they arranged! I experienced SUP for the first time, and they taught me very carefully. I learned a lot about nature and the flora and fauna, and I gained a lot of knowledge about Iriomote Island. Additionally, instead of going to the Miracle Island, we rode water buffaloes and went to a different island. I was deeply moved by the experiences that I couldn't have in my daily life. Even during the lunch break, they recommended great places to eat, and I had a fulfilling day. I definitely want to go again.
天候が悪いため奇跡の島へは行けなかったんですけど
違うツアーを考えてくれてすごく楽しめました!
初めてSUPを体験したんですけど、すごく丁寧に
教えてくれて、自然の事や動植物の事も沢山教えていただき、西表島について沢山知ることができました。
また、奇跡の島の代わりの体験では
水牛に乗って、違う島に行きました。
日常では体験できない事をやらせて頂き、すごく感動しました。昼休憩の時間でもおすすめのお店を教えて頂き
充実した1日が過ごせました。
また、行きたいと思います。
