We participated as a couple in our 20s. It was our first experience kayaking through the mangroves, but the two staff members provided very attentive support, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. They not only taught us how to paddle the kayak but also explained the characteristics and ecosystem of the mangroves in Iriomote Island in an easy-to-understand way, making it an educational experience. We were able to spend a relaxing time in nature, and it became a wonderful memory for us as a couple.
20代夫婦で参加しました。
マングローブの中をカヤックで進む体験は初めてでしたが、2名のスタッフの方がとても丁寧にサポートしてくださり、安心して楽しむことができました。
カヤックの漕ぎ方だけでなく、西表島のマングローブの特徴や生態系についてもわかりやすく説明していただき、学びのある体験になりました。
自然の中でゆったりとした時間を過ごせて、夫婦でとても良い思い出になりました。
足とお尻は濡れるので、濡れても良い服装が良いかと思います。

Since snorkeling was canceled, I switched to a mangrove tour. It was a highly satisfying tour where I could fully enjoy the natural beauty of the mangroves on Iriomote Island in just the morning. We gathered at Uehara Port, and the transfer to the location was smooth. The guide carefully taught us how to paddle the canoe and important points to keep in mind, so even beginners could participate with confidence. The time spent quietly moving through the mangrove tunnel was mystical, and the sounds of birds and the gentle ripples on the water created a pleasant experience. The little stories shared along the way were interesting, changing my perspective on the island's creatures and plants, and I gained a lot of knowledge. Many foreign participants joined as well, but the guide was fluent in English, making the content enjoyable for all participants. After the tour, we moved to the office to take a shower, and then returned to the port to conclude the tour. Finally, the guide recommended some set meals, and when I tried them, they were absolutely delicious!
シュノーケリングが中止になったので、マングローブツアーに変更しました。西表島のマングローブの自然を午前のみでしっかりと味わえる大満足ツアーでした。上原港集合で、現地への移動ももスムーズでした。ガイドさんがカヌーの漕ぎ方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくれるので初心者でも安心して参加できました。マングローブのトンネルを静かに進む時間は神秘的で、鳥の声や水面の揺れまで心地よい体験でした。途中の小話も面白く、島の生き物や植物への見方が変わり、沢山の知見を得ることができました。外国の方も多く参加していましたがガイドの方は英語に堪能で全参加者が楽しめる内容になっていました。ツアー後は事務所に移動して、シャワーを浴びて、また港に戻って解散の流れでした。最後におすすめの定食やなども教えていただき、行ってみるととても絶品でした!

It was an amazing tour that allowed us to experience the World Heritage Site of Iriomote Island, creating unforgettable memories! 😊 During the bus ride, our guide, Macchan, shared a lot of interesting stories about Okinawa and Iriomote Island, making the travel time fly by!
The mangrove canoe experience was truly enjoyable; the air was incredibly fresh, and it refreshed both my mind and body. Paddling leisurely in the great outdoors was a luxurious moment where I could forget about everyday life. The guide was very attentive and provided clear instructions, so even as a first-time canoeist, I had no problems enjoying the experience. It was great to participate without any worries!
Additionally, they took many wonderful photos, capturing moments in nature that I wouldn’t have been able to get on my own!
There were various participants, including solo travelers, parents with children, couples, and people from abroad, but everyone naturally connected and enjoyed the tour in a friendly atmosphere. This is truly a recommended tour where you can fully immerse yourself in the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island!
I definitely want to participate again! ✨
世界遺産の西表島を体験できる、最高の思い出に残るツアーでした😊
バスでの送迎中は、ガイドのまっちゃんさんが沖縄や西表島についてたくさんお話ししてくれて、とても面白く、移動時間もあっという間でした!
マングローブのカヌー体験は本当に楽しく、とてつもなく空気が綺麗で、心も体もリフレッシュできました。大自然の中でゆったりと漕ぐ時間は、日常を忘れられる贅沢なひとときでした。
ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださるので、初めてのカヌーでも全く問題なく楽しめます😊 不安なく参加できるのも嬉しいポイントです。
さらに、素敵な写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、自分では撮れないような自然の中での写真がたくさん残せました!!
1人参加の方、親子、夫婦、そして外国から来られた方など、さまざまな参加者がいましたが、皆さん自然と打ち解けて、和やかな雰囲気の中で楽しめるツアーでした。
西表島の大自然を全身で感じられる、本当におすすめのツアーです!

I wanted to share our feelings after participating in the Adventure PiPi tour for those considering joining. (This is written one month after the experience.)
Joining was definitely the right choice. Honestly, the satisfaction and sense of adventure we felt afterward is one of the best memories from our trip to the Yaeyama Islands.
**Content**
We participated in a canoe tour where we experienced the mangroves and a water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island.
At first, I had many questions: How deep is the water? Will I get wet? Is it cold? What kind of experience is it? I was honestly anxious right up until a second before participating. However, from the moment we joined, the excitement and thrill of adventure made it enjoyable for everyone.
We took the Yaeyama Kanko Ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, where we met our guide at Uehara Port and headed to the mangrove area (about a 15-minute drive from the port).
As soon as we got out of the car, we learned how to use the paddles and put on our life jackets before heading to the mangrove area (a 2-minute walk from the car). At this point, I was already filled with excitement.
I really hope you can experience the mangrove adventure firsthand rather than just reading about it.
After the canoe experience, we returned to the base at the headquarters where we could take a shower (10-minute drive). The showers had comfortable facilities with good hot water (think of a typical public pool shower room). It was nice to take our time and enjoy the shower.
After showering, we moved to Uehara Port for lunch (10-minute drive).
There are several options for lunch (hamburgers, set meals, light snacks, and a local supermarket). You can choose freely.
After lunch, we gathered again at the port to head to Yubu Island (25-minute drive). The car ride was comfortable, and we could relax or nap. Our guide shared various stories about the island, making it a great learning experience while enjoying the scenery. This was very educational since there was so much I didn’t know.
We arrived at the area to take the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Upon arrival, we took some photos and then hopped onto the water buffalo cart!
*Please experience this firsthand rather than just reading about it!*
Once we arrived at Yubu Island, we were informed of the meeting time, and our free time began! First, we walked through the botanical garden towards the Yubu Island teahouse. The beach right by the teahouse is stunning and a must-see! After that, we strolled around the garden (there are many spots that are a delight for tropical plant lovers like myself).
Even after canoeing, those who aren’t confident in their stamina can easily walk around (it’s mostly flat).
Afterward, we checked out the souvenir shop and some scenic spots before it was time to gather and head back to the port.
We returned to the opposite shore by water buffalo cart.
The experience itself ended there, but we drove back for about 25 minutes to Uehara Port, where we disbanded (with some breathtaking views visible from the car along the way...).
In the tour we participated in, we arrived at Uehara Port, disbanded, and that was the end.
(Note: Depending on the tour content, it’s possible to continue by car to a hotel on the island or another area instead of disbanding at Uehara Port.)

Despite the ferry from Uehara Port being canceled and some worries about the wind, once we entered the mangroves, the wind wasn't much of an issue, and we were able to leisurely enjoy nature! It was my first time canoeing, but thanks to the guide's support, I felt at ease!
The mangroves, mountains, and sky! The weather wasn't great, but the scenery was truly healing.
On the bus to Yubu Island in the afternoon, we had a fun time talking about Iriomote Island. While being pulled by the water buffalo, I was charmed by its lovely eyes as we made our way to Yubu Island. I enjoyed a relaxing time surrounded by flowers and butterflies. On the way back, we sang island songs with the sanshin, which really got everyone excited.
It was a one-day tour of Iriomote Island, but it went by in a flash and was so much fun! I'm glad I participated in the tour!
上原港のフェリーが欠航する中、風もあり心配したがマングローブの中に入ると風の影響もさほどなく自然をのんびり満喫することができた!カヌーも初めてだったが、ガイドの方のフォローもあり安心!
マングローブと山と空!天気はイマイチだったがホントに癒される風景。

I think it's great that you can combine your favorite plans. This time, I experienced canoeing and a tour of Yufu Island.
It was a fun tour where I could experience the World Heritage site of Iriomote Island! During the bus ride, I learned a lot from our guide "Macchan" about Okinawa and Iriomote Island. ✏️
Next time, if I can come during a warmer season, I would like to try snorkeling as well! ✨

Canoeing can get you wet, so you'll need swimwear and such. Even in Okinawa, it can be cold from December to February, so I think warm clothing would be a good idea.
カヌーは水に濡れるので水着等が必要です。
沖縄とはいえ、12〜2月は寒い日もあるのであたたかい服装だといいと思います。

The weather was perfect, making for an amazing day. I am very grateful to our guides, Macchan and Sugichan, for providing such a fun time! During the mangrove tour, we were able to see a crested serpent eagle flying very close and hear its calls clearly. I was worried about whether I could paddle in the canoe since it was my first time, but they taught us very patiently, and my daughter and I managed just fine. You will get wet from the waist down, but you get used to it quickly. Even though it's February, the weather was so nice, and I was surprised by the strength of the sunlight. I regretted not being more prepared for sunburn. The cuteness of the water buffalo was healing. I couldn't help but laugh at Kirara, the water buffalo, as she worked while making sounds. The time spent at Yubu Island was only one hour, and it felt too short, especially since the interaction and photo opportunities with the water buffalo were crowded; I wished we had a bit more time. Even during the bus ride, Macchan kept us entertained with his guidance, so we never got bored. I'm glad I participated in this all-inclusive tour. I highly recommend taking a tour rather than going solo.
天気に恵まれ最高の1日になりました。ガイドのまっちゃん、すぎちゃんのお二人に楽しい時間をもらえた事、とても感謝します!マングローブツアーではカンムリワシがとても近くで飛んではっきり姿を見れ鳴声も聞けました。初めてのカヌーで前に進めるか心配でしたがとても丁寧に教えて頂き娘と二人でも大丈夫でした。お尻から下は濡れます、でもすぐ慣れます。2月なのにとても天気が良く日差しの強さにビックリです。日焼け対策甘かったと後悔しました。水牛の可愛らしさに癒されました。水牛のキララちゃんが鳴きながらお仕事する姿に思わず笑ってしまいました。水牛とのふれあい撮影が混んでいると由布島の滞在時間1時間ではあっという間で、もう少し時間欲しかったです。移動のバスの中でもまっちゃんがガイドしてくれるので退屈しませんでした。至れり尽くせりのツアーで参加して良かったです。個人でまわるよりツアーおすすめです

I stayed at a hotel on Iriomote Island, and I was very grateful for the free shuttle service to the hotel. The weather was unusually clear for this time of year, and it was warm! In the morning, we took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Each water buffalo has its own personality, and the relaxed time we spent was wonderful. Yubu Island has many attractions, and there was so much to see that we didn't have enough time. In the afternoon, we went kayaking (you can also choose SUP) through the mangroves. You definitely need clothes that can get wet since your backside will get soaked, but the experience of being surrounded by nature was truly moving. Our guide, Shu, explained everything about Iriomote Island in detail and took lots of photos, which added to our memories. It's a tour that beginners can join with confidence.
西表島ホテルに宿泊していましたが、ホテルまで無料送迎していただけてとても助かりました。天気もこの時期ではあまりない快晴だったようで、暖かかったです!午前中は水牛車で由布島へ。水牛それぞれに性格があって可愛く、のんびりした時間が最高でした。由布島は見どころが多く、時間が足りないくらい充実しています。午後はカヤック(SUPも選べます)でマングローブの中へ。お尻がしっかり濡れるので濡れてもいい服必須ですが、大自然に包まれる体験は感動もの。ガイドのShuさんが西表島のことも丁寧に説明してくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて思い出が増えました。初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーです。
Kayaking can get your backside wetter than you might expect, so it's recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

The sightseeing in Yubu Island was a wonderfully relaxing experience. The time spent crossing the sea on a water buffalo cart felt special, and I was delighted to see the water buffalo up close. Their calm expressions and strong presence were truly soothing.
The island is filled with subtropical plants, and I was excited to see the vibrant flowers and large trees that are not often seen in everyday life. It was a lovely place where I could feel the richness of nature and enjoy a leisurely time.
The mangrove kayaking tour I experienced in Iriomote Island was incredibly fun. As we gently paddled down the river, we were able to see the mangrove forests up close, allowing me to forget my daily routine and refresh myself. Even as a beginner, I felt safe and enjoyed the experience because I was taught carefully. It was a wonderful experience that reminded me of the joy of moving my body in nature.
由布島の観光は、のんびりとした時間が流れていてとても心地よい体験でした。水牛車に揺られながら海を渡る時間は特別感があり、間近で水牛を見ることができて嬉しかったです。穏やかな表情や力強い姿に癒されました。
島内には亜熱帯の植物がたくさんあり、普段なかなか見ることのない色鮮やかな花や大きな木々にワクワクしました。自然の豊かさを感じられる、ゆったりと楽しめる素敵な場所でした。
西表島で体験したマングローブカヤックツアーは、本当に楽しかったです。ゆったりと川を進みながら、間近でマングローブ林を見ることができ、日常を忘れてリフレッシュできました。初めてでも丁寧に教えてもらえたので安心して楽しめましたし、自然の中で体を動かす気持ちよさを改めて実感できる素敵な体験でした。
Clothes that can get wet are essential. You'll get splashed more than you think. I think quick-drying clothes would be comfortable!
濡れてもいい服装は必須です。思っているより水しぶきがかかります。速乾性のある服だと快適だと思います!

I visited in February! It was a cloudy day with strong winds, and the river was choppy. It seems that this time of year has a lot of rain and windy days.
The mangrove canoeing was challenging because of the wind, but it was also a fun experience in the jungle's natural environment! I was able to see the mangrove trees up close! I was amazed and moved to learn that they grow slowly and many are over 100 years old!
The sightseeing at Yubu Island, which we reached by water buffalo cart, felt like no time at all during our one-hour stay. Of course, riding the water buffalo cart was fun, and I also took pictures with the water buffalo named Rui-kun and enjoyed gelato at a tea shop, experiencing the unique offerings of Yubu Island! The entire island is like a botanical garden, and just walking around was enjoyable!
The tour guides were also entertaining, and I was able to enjoy the tour, including their stories during our travels. I would love to participate in other activities as well!
2月に訪れました!この日は曇り空に強風で、川が波立っていました。この時期は雨が多く風が強い日が多いようです。
マングローブカヌーは、風に煽られて漕ぐのが大変でしたが、それもまたジャングルの自然の体験として楽しかったです!マングローブの木を間近で見ることができました!成長が遅く、樹齢100年以上のものばかりということに驚き、感動しました!
水牛車に乗って行った由布島観光は、1時間の滞在時間があっという間でした。
水牛車に乗ることはもちろん、水牛のルイ君と写真を撮ったり、お茶屋さんでジェラートを食べたりと、由布島ならではの体験ができました!島全体が植物園になっていて、歩いているだけでも楽しかったです!

In a mangrove canoe, when you paddle, water splashes and your upper body gets quite wet, so I think it's a good idea to have a change of clothes on hand.

I had a truly fulfilling time participating in this tour. It was my first experience paddling through the mangroves on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and I was deeply moved as I slowly glided over the calm water, observing rare plants and creatures that are not often seen up close. The guide's explanations were clear, and I appreciated learning about nature and the formation of Iriomote Island. The water buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island also provided a unique experience, and I was very satisfied with the many photos I was able to take. I believe this tour is perfect for beginners and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Canoeing has a high possibility of getting you wet even to your underwear, so a change of clothes is essential! A waterproof case for your smartphone is convenient. I think this tour is for those who
カヌーは下着まで濡れる可能性が高いので着替えは必須です!スマホの防水ケースがあると便利です。できるだけ多くの観光地を回るというより、のんびりゆったり西表島を楽しみたいという方向けのツアーだと思います!

In the morning, I went to Yufu Island, and in the afternoon, I went canoeing on the Urauchi River. I participated alone, but everyone else was very kind, and they helped me a lot during the canoeing. I got stuck in shallow water and had trouble moving forward because of the strong wind, so it was quite chaotic. However, our guide, Macchan (Matsushita-san), supported me the whole time, and in the end, he got into my canoe, and we paddled together to safely return. There were various participants, including solo travelers, families, couples, and foreigners, and a sense of teamwork developed, making it a lot of fun.
午前中に由布島へ行き、午後から浦内川でカヌーでした。ひとり参加でしたが、他の参加者のみなさんがとても優しく、カヌー中はみなさんにたくさん助けていただきました。浅瀬で座礁したり、風が強くて前に進めなくなったりとだいぶグダグダでしたが、ガイドのまっちゃん(松下さん)がずっとフォローしてくださり、最終的には私のカヌーに乗り込んで2人で漕いで無事に帰ることができました。
1人参加、親子、夫婦、外国の方など様々いましたが、チームワークみたいなものが生まれて楽しかったです。
You must change clothes because your lower body gets wet!
下半身が濡れるので着替必須!
Thank you so much for joining the tour!
This is Macchan! That great adventure on the Urauchi River became an unforgettable day for me as well!
It was quite a tough condition with strong winds and grounding in shallow areas, but seeing you paddle with all your might motivated me to think, "I will definitely get you there!" The moment I hopped onto your canoe and we paddled in sync together felt like we formed a bond, like a "three-legged race," and it truly warmed my heart!
Whether you came alone, with family, or from overseas, the challenging conditions brought us together as one team in the end. That warm atmosphere was all thanks to your brightness!
Iriomote Island shows a different face every time you visit. Next time, let's definitely have a rematch on a calm, flat day! (laughs) I look forward to the day we can adventure together again as "Team Iriomote"!

ツアーへのご参加、本当にありがとうございました!
まっちゃんです!あの浦内川での大冒険、僕にとっても忘れられない最高の一日になりました!
強風や浅瀬での座礁など、なかなかタフなコンディションでしたが、一生懸命パドルを動かす姿に僕も「絶対送り届けるぞ!」と気合が入りました! 最後にお客様のカヌーへ乗り込んで、二人でリズムを合わせて漕いだ瞬間は、まさに「二人三脚」の絆が生まれた気がして僕も胸が熱くなりました!
一人参加、ご家族、そして海外の方まで、コンディションが大変だったからこそ、最後には一つのチームのような一体感が生まれていましたね。あの温かい空気感は、皆さんの明るさがあってこそです!
西表島は、来るたびに違う表情を見せてくれる島です。次はぜひ、穏やかなベタ凪の日にリベンジしましょう!(笑)また「チーム西表」として一緒に冒険できる日を、楽しみにお待ちしています!

If you're going to Iriomote Island, you can't miss the mangroves, so I joined this one-day tour with the intention of kayaking. I was excited even before participating, and it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying experience, just as I had hoped! 🌟
It was my first time kayaking, but our guide, Macchan, was absolutely amazing!
His explanations were very clear, and he was friendly and attentive throughout. I felt safe and enjoyed myself. ☺️
The time spent navigating through the mangrove tunnel was calm and pleasant, and the scenery was truly beautiful.
On the other hand, it was a windy day, and I used a bit of energy while paddling through the tributaries. (Some women might find it challenging on their own.)
During the bus ride, he talked a lot about the island's nature and lifestyle, making what could have been just travel time into a learning experience, which was impressive! I was unexpectedly moved when I saw him doing a handstand on the SUP. Haha!
In the afternoon, we took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island while listening to the sanshin performance, moving leisurely. 🐃 The island was quiet with few people, making it a perfect tour for my first visit to Iriomote Island!
西表島に行くならマングローブは外せないと思い、カヌー目当てでこの1日ツアーに参加しました。参加前からワクワクしていて、「自然すごそう!」という期待通り、想像以上に満足度の高い体験でした🌟
カヌーは初めてでしたが、担当ガイドのまっちゃんさんがとにかく素晴らしかったです!
説明がとてもわかりやすく、終始フレンドリーで丁寧。安心して楽しめました☺️
マングローブのトンネルを進む時間は穏やかで心地よく、景色も本当にきれいでした。
一方、この日は風が強く、支流を漕ぐ場面では少し体力を使いました。
(女性だけだと大変に感じる人もいるかもしれません)
移動中のバスでも島の自然や暮らしについてたくさん話してくれて、ただの移動時間が学びの時間になったのも印象的でした!
SUPの上で逆立ちしていたのには思わず感動しました笑
午後の由布島水牛車では、三線の演奏を聴きながらゆったり移動🐃
島内も人が少なく落ち着いて過ごせて、初めての西表島にぴったりのツアーでしたー!
Thank you so much for joining the tour!
This is Macchan! I'm truly delighted to hear your wonderful feedback of "satisfaction beyond imagination"! It was really fun for me to guide you, as you brought such excitement that matched the great nature of Iriomote Island!
Canoeing in the strong winds, especially paddling in the tributaries, was quite a workout, wasn't it? (laughs) However, the tranquility of the mangrove tunnel after paddling hard was undoubtedly beautiful, wasn't it? My SUP handstand was perfectly executed thanks to everyone's support! I'm honored that you were surprised!
I'm also really happy that you enjoyed the stories about the island during the bus ride and that you fell in love with Iriomote Island as a whole. The sound of the sanshin from Yubu Island, along with the leisurely island time, was the best reward, wasn't it?
Next time, let's definitely go see different breathtaking views on a calm day! I'll prepare an even more powerful handstand (?), and I look forward to the day we can meet again!

ツアーへのご参加、本当にありがとうございました!
まっちゃんです!「想像以上の満足度」という最高のお言葉をいただけて、本当にうれしいです! 西表島の大自然に負けないくらいのワクワクを持って参加してくださり、僕もガイドしていて本当に楽しかったです!
風が強い中でのカヌー、特に支流でのパドリングはなかなかの筋トレ状態でしたよね(笑)でも、一生懸命漕ぎ抜いた後のマングローブのトンネルの静寂は、ひとしおの美しさだったのではないでしょうか。僕のSUP逆立ちも、皆さんの応援があったからこそバッチリ決まりました!笑 驚いていただけて光栄です!
バス移動中の島のお話までしっかり楽しんでいただけて、西表島を丸ごと好きになってもらえたことが何より嬉しいです。 由布島の三線の音色とともに、ゆったり流れる島時間も最高のご褒美になりましたね。
次回はぜひ、風の穏やかな日にまた違った絶景を一緒に見に行きましょう!さらにパワーアップした逆立ち(?)を用意して、再会できる日を楽しみに待っています!

Due to bad weather, snorkeling was canceled and we switched to mangrove kayaking. It was really cold with strong winds and rain, but the instructor was cheerful and reliable, which made it easy to participate without any worries. For lunch, they kindly offered to drive us to a local diner on the island when we expressed our preferences, which was great. Although we couldn't do the waterfall descent during canyoning, we were able to experience jumping into the water at various spots, which made the kids very happy. They also took safety precautions seriously, which was reassuring. The only downside was that the photos were sent late, and we had to follow up for them, but overall, it was a memorable experience.
悪天候でシュノーケルは中止となり、マングローブカヤックに変更。強風と雨で本当に寒かったですが、インストラクターさんが明るく頼り甲斐があり、不安なく参加できました。昼食は希望を伝えると島の定食屋さんまで車で送迎してくれる心遣いも◎。キャニオニングは滝降りこそできなかったものの、各所で滝つぼドボンを体験できて子供も大喜び。安全配慮もしっかりしていて安心でした。写真送付が遅く、催促後の対応だった点だけ少し残念ですが、全体的には思い出に残る体験でした。
The temperature difference in Iriomote Island during winter is significant, so if it's sunny, it can be as warm as early summer, but if the weather is bad, it can be quite cold like winter. It's a goo
冬の西表島は寒暖差がすごいので、晴れれば初夏並みの暖かさ、天気が悪いと冬の寒さなので、薄めのダウンやヒートテックも持っていった方がいいです
Thank you so much for joining the tour!
We were disappointed that the snorkeling was canceled, but we are truly grateful that you were able to fully enjoy the mangrove kayaking and canyoning despite the strong winds and rain! Even in the harsh conditions where you said, "It was really cold," seeing your child joyfully splash into the waterfall pool gave us so much energy that we forgot about the cold! It was truly a great adventure that deepened your family's bond.
We are also glad to hear that you enjoyed the transportation for your meals! The local diner on the island was delicious, wasn't it?
On the other hand, I sincerely apologize for the delay in sending the photos, which may have dampened your excitement. We will work as a team to speed up the process so that we can deliver the best memories to you while the excitement is still fresh!
Next time, let's dive into the coral reef under the sun! All of us staff are eagerly waiting for the day we can reunite for a snorkeling adventure as a comeback!

シュノーケリングの中止は残念でしたが、あの強風と雨の中、マングローブカヤックとキャニオニングを全力で楽しんでいただけて僕たちも感無量です! 「本当に寒かった」という過酷な状況でも、お子様が滝つぼドボンで大喜びしてくれた姿には、僕たちも寒さを忘れるくらいパワーをもらいました!まさに家族の絆が深まった大冒険でしたね
お食事の送迎も喜んでいただけて何よりです!島の定食屋さん、美味しかったですよね。
その一方で、写真の送付が遅れてしまい、せっかくのワクワクしたお気持ちに水を差してしまったこと、深く反省しております。今後は最高の思い出を熱いうちにお届けできるよう、チーム全員でスピードアップに努めてまいります!

I went to Iriomote Island for the first time and booked a tour to Yubu Island by kayak and water buffalo. In the morning, I experienced kayaking and explored the mangrove forest for about an hour. I really felt the beauty of nature. The staff were very kind and explained everything well, making it a lot of fun! After that, we took a lunch break and then headed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart! It took about 10 minutes to reach the island, and we enjoyed about an hour on Yubu Island! The gelato from a shop called Yubu Island Chaya was incredibly delicious! I highly recommend the island banana flavor.
初めて西表島に行き、カヤックと水牛で由布島に行くツアーを予約しました。
午前中にカヤック体験をして、マングローブ林を約1時間探索しました。大自然をとても感じられました。スタッフさんも優しく説明してくださり、大変楽しめました!その後、お昼休憩を挟み、水牛車で由布島にレッツゴー!10分ほどで島につき、そこから由布島を1時間ほど楽しみました!由布島茶屋というジェラート屋さんのジェラートがとっても美味しかったです!島バナナが1番のおすすめです。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time. The kayaking experience surrounded by the magnificent mangrove nature was unforgettable, and the air was so fresh. The companions I experienced it with and the instructor were very warm, and it was truly enjoyable!!! After kayaking, I had goya champuru at Gen Shokudo. It was very soothing for my tired body. The water buffaloes were so cute and provided a relaxing time. It's only about a 50-minute trip from Ishigaki Island, so I highly recommend it!

I participated on January 18th! It was a bit cold in short sleeves, so having something to wear over it would be good! When kayaking, your lower body gets wet up to your underwear, so a change of clothes is essential 😅 After the kayaking experience, you can use a warm shower! I joined a group with other tourists, and it was really fun to chat with everyone! The staff were also kind and provided explanations about the island, which was great! I definitely want to recommend this!

In mid-January, it can feel a bit chilly on Iriomote Island when the wind blows, right? Your advice for those who will be joining us soon to bring "something to wear over and a change of clothes is essential!" is very helpful!
After fully enjoying kayaking, a warm shower is truly a blissful moment. I'm glad you were able to warm up properly!
Also, it's great to hear that you enjoyed chatting with other participants. We are happy that you felt the sense of unity that comes with a small group tour! Even when meeting for the first time, it's amazing how quickly you can become friends when you see the same scenery and paddle together.
I'm glad the staff's explanations about the island were helpful! Iriomote Island has so many interesting plants and animals that we couldn't fully introduce, as well as the island's charm that changes with the seasons.

I signed up for the tour on January 4th. I think there were about 20 other guests accompanying me. The guides were all young men, and they were very kind. Even if it's your first time canoeing, it's easy, so I don't think you need to worry. If you're slow at paddling, the guide will wait for you! The view of crossing the sea to Yubu Island was more beautiful than I imagined, and the water buffalo were cute and soothing. I was able to see the large pond where the water buffalo live up close! The ice cream at Yubu Island Tea House on the island is exquisite. You can enjoy tea while looking at the beach. However, since it's a tour, there might be a line due to overlapping timings with other guests, so I recommend going to line up as soon as you arrive on the island.
年明け1/4にツアーを申し込みました。
同行するお客さんは20人くらいだったと思います。
ガイドさんは若いお兄さんばかりで、皆さん優しかったです。
カヌーは初めてでも簡単なので、不安はいらないと思います。

We are truly delighted that you chose to embark on an adventure with us during this important holiday season! We also appreciate your kind words about our guide. Everyone is probably blushing with joy hearing that they were "kind"!
Canoeing is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, isn’t it? It’s perfectly fine to take your time! As long as you were able to savor the tranquility of the mangroves and the sensation of gliding over the water at your own rhythm, I, as your guide, couldn't be happier!
I’m glad to hear that you were also healed by the scenery of Yubu Island and the cuteness of the water buffaloes. That relaxed time crossing the sea is truly exceptional. And thank you for the super practical advice for future participants: "Make sure to line up at the gelato shop first!" Enjoying exquisite gelato while gazing at that beach must have been a blissful moment.

The canoe experience on the Urauchi River was wonderful, with very clear water. Our guide, Matsushita (nicknamed Macchan), informed us that the area near the river mouth is brackish water, and that the mangroves differ between the riverbanks and the sandbars. The weather was also great that day, with gentle winds, making it the perfect outing.
After lunch, we took a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island. The guide on the water buffalo cart shared that after a natural disaster made the area uninhabitable, an elderly man planted the vegetation that became the foundation of the current botanical garden. It was surprising to see so many flowers blooming in January, and I was lucky enough to capture a photo of a butterfly that came to sip nectar.
During the ride to and from Yufu Island, in addition to explanations about the water buffalo, we were treated to songs played on the sanshin, which made for some wonderful memories. Macchan took care of us during the bus rides, canoeing, and the trip to Yufu Island. I also want to thank Shogo, who guided us on the bus, and everyone who helped with the preparations, as well as the guides on the water buffalo cart. Thank you very much!
浦内川でのカヌー体験は水がとてもキレイでした。河口付近で汽水域との事だったり、
マングローブも河岸と中洲で種類が違うとガイドの松下さん(通称まっちゃん)が教えてくださったり、またこの日は天気も良く、風もさほど強くない穏やかな日で最高でした。
昼食後は水牛の観光車で由布島へ。
自然災害で人が住めなくなった後、お爺さん1人で植物を植え、今の植物園の礎を作ったと水牛車のガイドさんからお話をお聞きしました。1月と思えない程のたくさんの花々が咲いており、ちょうど蝶々が蜜を吸いにやって来たところを運良く写真に収める事ができました。
行き帰りの水牛車では、水牛の説明の他、三線で歌を披露していただいたり、とても良い思い出となりました。
バスの移動時の運転から、カヌー引率、由布島までの移動等、まっちゃんにはお世話になりました。
また、バスでガイドをしてくれたショウゴさんや、準備をしてくださった方々、水牛車ガイド方々にもお世話になりました。
ありがとうございました。
Even in a tropical country, the winter canoe experience can leave your lower body wet, so I recommend preparing for cold weather or bringing waterproof pants.
いくら南国と言えど、冬のカヌー体験は下半身が濡れるので、寒さ対策又は防水パンツの準備をお勧めします。
This is Matsushita, also known as "Macchan," who was in charge of your experience. On the day of your visit, we were blessed with beautiful weather, and I’m truly happy that you were able to enjoy the stunning clarity of the water in the Urauchi River and the contrast with the mangroves in such great conditions!
Thank you for enthusiastically listening to my somewhat nerdy (laughs) explanations about the unique plant ecology of the brackish water area and the differences in species between the sandbars and riverbanks. When you look at the scenery with knowledge, the ordinary green forest starts to look like a "living encyclopedia," and it deepens your affection for it, doesn’t it?
The stories from Yubu Island were heartwarming as well. Knowing the history built by the grandfather alone makes the blooming flowers feel even more precious. Capturing the miraculous moment of butterflies sipping nectar on camera was truly a gift from the nature of Iriomote Island to both of you.
The time spent in the water buffalo cart surrounded by the sounds of the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan instrument) must surely have become a lifelong memory.
Thank you also for your warm words towards Shogo, the preparation staff, and the guides from Yubu Island! I will make sure to convey your appreciation to the entire team. There is no greater joy than knowing that this baton we all passed on has become the best travel memory.
Please come back to Iriomote Island to hear more of Macchan's "plant talks," which will have evolved with the changing seasons! All of us staff members are sincerely looking forward to the day we can meet again!

汽水域ならではの植物の生態や、中洲と河岸での種類の違いなど、僕のマニアックな(笑)解説を熱心に聞いてくださりありがとうございました。知識を持って景色を眺めると、ただの緑の森が「生きている図鑑」のように見えてきて、より一層愛着が湧きますよね!

The instructor (Macchan) was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about animals and plants. Not only during the canoeing time but also on the bus, we had great conversations, making for a very enjoyable experience!
We took many photos together, and at the end, they sent them to us. Since it's often hard to get pictures of both of us together when there are just two participants, I was really happy to receive them!
It seems there are other experiences available as well, so I definitely want to participate again next time!
インストラクターさん(まっちゃん)の知識が豊富で、動物や植物のことについて、たくさん教えていただきました。
カヌーの時間だけでなく、バスの中でもお話していただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました!
何度も写真を撮ってもらい、最後に送っていただきました。
2人で参加すると、なかなか2人一緒の写真がないので、送ってもらえて嬉しかったです♪
他の体験もあるみたいなので、是非次回も参加させていただきたいです!
I participated in early January, but I made a mistake with my outfit and it was a bit cold. If you plan to attend, make sure to check the temperature for the day and choose your outfit accordingly so
私は1月上旬に参加しましたが、服装を間違えてしまい、少し寒かったです。
参加される際は当日の気温の下調べをきちんとした上で、服装を選んで参加すると快適に楽しめます!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour!
I'm "Macchan," your guide! From the bus ride to the canoeing time, I had a fantastic time as you listened to my stories with smiles and enthusiasm. It brings me immense joy as a guide to know that learning about the fascinating ecology of the creatures and plants of Iriomote Island made the scenery in front of you even more profound.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos! It's true that when traveling as a couple, it can be challenging to find the right moment for a two-shot, so we place great importance on "preserving memories" in our tours. Your smiles with the mangroves in the background were truly wonderful!
In addition to the canoeing experience you had this time, Iriomote Island offers many more exciting adventures, such as night jungle explorations and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters!
Please come back next time to seek new discoveries. I will prepare even more exciting island stories and eagerly await your return! ⭐

ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました!
担当させていただいた「まっちゃん」です!バスの移動中からカヌーの時間まで、僕の話をニコニコと楽しそうに聞いてくださり、僕自身も最高に楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。 西表島の生き物や植物たちの不思議な生態を知ることで、目の前の景色がより一層深まって見えたなら、ガイドとしてこれほど嬉しいことはありません。
お写真も喜んでいただけて何よりです! そうなんですよね、二人旅だとなかなかツーショットを撮るタイミングが難しいので、僕たちのツアーでは「思い出を形に残す」ことも大切にしています。マングローブをバックにしたお二人の笑顔、どれも本当に素敵でしたよ!
西表島には、今回体験していただいたカヌー以外にも、夜のジャングル探検、透明度抜群の海でのシュノーケリングなど、魅力的な冒険がまだまだたくさんあります!
ぜひ次回も、新しい発見を探しに遊びに来てくださいね。さらにパワーアップした島ネタを用意して、お二人の再訪を心よりお待ちしております!⭐

I paddled a canoe for the first time in a place rich in nature. The guides were all friendly and shared various stories with us, even providing detailed explanations about the mangroves! I can only describe them as truly kind.
I also became friends with the other participants, and in the afternoon at Yufu Island, we spent time together and had many conversations, experiencing the wonderful connections that travel brings.
I felt once again the importance and goodness of human connections, thanks to the kindness of the guides and all the participants. It was the best vacation! Thank you very much!
自然が豊かな場所で、初めてカヌーを漕ぎました。ガイドさん皆さんフレンドリーな方で、色々お話してくれましたしマングローブの細かい説明までして下さりました!
本当に優しいの一言に限ります。
参加者たちとも仲良くなり午後の由布島では、一緒に過ごしたくさんお話をして旅行ならではの素敵な一期一会を感じることができました。
ガイドさん参加者の皆様含め凄く優しく、人との繋がりの大切さや良さを改めて感じることができました。最高の休暇です!
ありがとうございました!
It gets wetter than you imagine!
想像してるより濡れます!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour!
We are all filled with joy to hear your words of "the best vacation," which means the world to our guides! The feeling of paddling for the first time in a canoe, surrounded by the great nature of Iriomote Island, will surely become an unforgettable memory.
Thank you for attentively listening to our explanations. By learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangroves, the scenery before you becomes even more cherished.
Above all, it’s truly wonderful to hear that you deepened your bonds with other participants through this "ichigo ichie" experience! The time spent together on Yufu Island in the afternoon was indeed the greatest gift that travel can offer. Because you shared the same views and felt the same breeze, I believe you were able to connect with each other so quickly.
We will take your words about feeling the importance of "connections with people" to heart as we continue to aim for tours that foster warm encounters.
Whenever you feel like exploring different scenery or meeting new people, please come back to Iriomote Island anytime! We look forward to the day we can reunite with even more powerful smiles and guidance!

I participated in a mangrove canoe and Yubu Island water buffalo cart tour in early January.
In the morning, we had a canoe experience in the mangrove forest. The strong winds made it quite challenging to paddle at first, but once we entered the mangrove area, the wind was blocked, making it much easier to paddle. Although the weather was unfortunately cloudy, I was able to feel the beauty of nature up close and have an extraordinary experience.
For lunch, we went to an Okinawan restaurant recommended by our guide. My wife had the goya champuru set meal, and I had the Yaeyama soki soba.
In the afternoon, we participated in the Yubu Island water buffalo cart tour. The sun peeked out, and we were able to see tropical plants and animals on Yubu Island, as well as touch the water buffalo and take photos, which was a lot of fun.
We joined this tour as part of our honeymoon, and it was a truly wonderful experience that we will cherish together.
Thank you to K from the pipi staff!
1月初旬にマングローブカヌー+由布島水牛車ツアーに参加しました。
午前中はマングローブ林でのカヌー体験でした。かなりの強風で最初は漕ぐのが大変でしたが、マングローブ林に入ると風が遮断され、漕ぎやすかったです。あいにくの曇天でしたが、大自然を身近に感じながら非日常的な経験ができました。
お昼はガイドの方に教えていただいた沖縄料理の店で妻はゴーヤチャンプル定食、私は八重山ソーキそばを食べました。
午後は由布島水牛車ツアーに参加しました。午後からは晴れ間も見え、由布島で熱帯の動植物を見たり、水牛に触れて写真を撮る体験もでき、非常に楽しめました。
新婚旅行での参加でしたが、二人で心に残る非常に素晴らしい体験ができました。
pipiスタッフのKさん、ありがとうございました。
Mangrove canoeing will definitely get your clothes (especially pants) wet, so you'll need quick-drying clothing and a change of clothes. After the canoe tour, you can take a shower and change in the t
マングローブカヌーは確実に服(特にズボン)が濡れるため濡れても乾きやすい服装と着替えが必要です。カヌーツアー終了後にツアー会社のシャワー室でシャワーと着替えができます。
Thank you very much for joining our tour! And congratulations on your marriage!
We are truly honored that you chose our tour for your precious honeymoon memories.
It started with strong winds in early January, but the moment we entered the mangrove forest, the serene silence felt like nature was protecting us. Even the cloudy skies seemed to enhance the depth of the jungle, allowing you to fully experience this extraordinary world.
The Okinawan cuisine for lunch was a great energy boost unique to Iriomote Island! Both Goya Champuru and Soki Soba are island classics and excellent choices!
In the afternoon, we were delighted to have a glimpse of sunshine to celebrate your new journey together, and it was wonderful to spend a peaceful time interacting with the water buffalo on Yubu Island. The photos you took with the water buffalo will surely become treasured memories for a lifetime!
We wish that the long journey ahead for both of you will be as rich and radiant as the nature of Iriomote Island. Please come back someday to reminisce about "that adventure" on your milestone anniversaries!
Wishing you everlasting happiness, from all of us at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました!そして、ご結婚おめでとうございます!
大切なお二人の新婚旅行の思い出に、私たちのツアーを選んでいただけたこと、スタッフ一同、心から光栄に思っております。
1月初旬の強風の中でのスタートでしたが、マングローブの林に入った瞬間のあの穏やかな静寂、まさに大自然が守ってくれているような不思議な感覚でしたね。 曇天さえもジャングルの深みを引き立てる演出のようで、非日常の世界を存分に味わっていただけたのではないでしょうか。
お昼の沖縄料理も、西表島ならではのエネルギーチャージになりましたね!ゴーヤチャンプルーとソーキそば、どちらも島の定番で最高なチョイスです!
午後からはお二人の門出を祝うような晴れ間も覗き、由布島で水牛たちと触れ合う穏やかな時間を過ごしていただけて本当に良かったです。 水牛と一緒に撮ったお写真は、きっと一生の宝物になりますね!
これから歩まれるお二人の長い道のりが、西表島の自然のように豊かで、光り輝くものであることを願っております。またいつか、節目の記念日などに「あの時の冒険」を思い出しながら、ぜひまた遊びに来てくださいね!
末永いお幸せを、スタッフ一同、西表島から応援しております!

At the end of December, there were many days with bad weather, but on the day of the tour, the weather happened to be nice, and we were able to enjoy a pleasant stroll through the mangroves. It was our first time paddling a canoe by ourselves, but the guides were very patient, making it comfortable even for beginners.
12月末は天気が悪い日が多かったですが、ツアーの日はたまたま天気がよく、気持ちよくマングローブを散策することができました。自分たちでカヌーを漕ぐのは初めてでしたが、ゆっくり案内してくれるので、初心者でも安心でした。
Since you can take stunning photos, it's recommended to keep your mobile camera in a waterproof case.
絶景写真がとれるので、携帯カメラは防水ケースなどに入れておくのがおすすめです。
Thank you so much for joining the tour!
At the end of December, there were many days when the weather wasn't on our side, but on the day of the tour, we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather! I was truly amazed and moved by everyone's luck in hitting a perfect "adventure day"! Paddling across the shimmering water was incredibly refreshing.
I heard it was your first time canoeing, but you quickly grasped the technique and paddled smoothly and powerfully, which was very impressive. Even beginners can truly connect with the tranquility of the mangroves, and it was heartwarming to see your relaxed smiles.
As the seasons change, you'll hear different voices of creatures and see the vibrant greens of Iriomote Island. Whenever you feel like refreshing yourself again, please come back to this great nature! We look forward to the day we can meet again!

12月末はなかなかお天気が味方してくれない日も多かったのですが、ツアー当日は見事な晴天!まさに「冒険日和」な一日に引き当てた皆さんの運の強さに、びっくり&感動でした!キラキラ光る水面を進むのは、本当に最高に気持ちよかったですね。
初めてのカヌーとのことでしたが、コツを掴んでゆったりと、そして力強く漕ぎ進める姿はとっても頼もしかったです。初心者の方でも、あのマングローブの静寂と一体になれるのがこのツアーの醍醐味。皆さんの安心した笑顔が見られて、心からホッとしました。
季節が変われば、また違った緑の輝きや生き物たちの声が聞こえてくるのが西表島です。またリフレッシュしたくなった時は、いつでもこの大自然の中に帰ってきてくださいね!再会できる日を、楽しみにお待ちしております!

In late December, I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island for a mangrove forest canoeing and buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island.
On the day of the trip, due to rough seas, the Uehara route was canceled, so we took the 7:30 ferry to Ohara Port and used the ferry company's bus to get to Uehara Port. (I heard that cancellations are common during this time of year.)
In the morning, we experienced canoeing in the mangrove forest. The strong winds made paddling difficult, but it felt like a jungle adventure, and it was a truly valuable experience.
For lunch, we went to a restaurant recommended by our guide and filled our stomachs with curry fried rice.
In the afternoon, we headed to Yubu Island. Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, we enjoyed a performance of the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan instrument) while riding in the buffalo cart. On Yubu Island, we also had the opportunity to interact with the water buffalo, which was very satisfying.
Finally, we were taken back to Ohara Port. We participated as a family with two toddlers, but we thoroughly enjoyed the great nature of Iriomote Island.
Thank you to all the staff at pipi!
12月下旬、石垣島から日帰りでマングローブ林カヌー&由布島水牛車ツアーに参加しました。
当日は時化のため、上原航路は欠航、7:30の便で大原港へ向かい、上原港まではフェリー会社のバスを利用しました。(この時期は欠航になることが多いそう。)
午前中はマングローブ林カヌー体験でした。風が強く漕ぐのが大変でしたがジャングル探検感覚で大変貴重な経験ができました。
お昼はガイドの方に教えていただいたお店へ。カレーチャーハン?でお腹を満たしました。
午後は由布島へ。あいにくの曇り空でしたが水牛車の中では三線の演奏もあり楽しめました。由布島の中では水牛に触って楽しめる体験もでき、大満足でした。
最後は大原港へ送迎していただきました。
幼児2人連れのファミリーでの参加でしたが、西表島の大自然を満喫できました。
pipiのスタッフの皆様ありがとうございました。
Late December can be quite windy and relatively cold. It's not freezing cold, but be sure to take precautions against the cold!
12月下旬は風も強くそれなりに寒いです。凍えるほどの寒さではないですが、防寒対策を!

In the morning, I experienced canoeing! The wind was strong, making it difficult to paddle, but the staff helped me out, which was a great relief. I also had my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children with me, and they had a lot of fun. We were able to see the mangroves up close, which made for a wonderful experience. I learned that there are various types of mangroves and gained insights into the different adaptations they have for survival.
In the afternoon, we rode water buffalo to Yubu Island. It was my first time being pulled by a water buffalo, and I was moved by their earnestness. The buffalo we had on the way there and back were different, each with their own unique personalities and ways of pulling, which was quite interesting. The sanshin music and singing were also lovely.
Thank you for the transportation service. It was a truly great experience.
午前はカヌー体験しました!風が強く、漕ぐのが大変でしたが、スタッフの方にお手伝いいただき、助かりました。また、3歳と5歳の子どもがいましたが、とっても楽しんでいました。マングローブを間近に見ることができ、とてもいい体験になりました。マングローブも色々な種類があるのですね。生きるための様々な工夫も勉強になりました。
午後は水牛に乗り由布島へ。水牛に初めて引っ張ってもらい、健気な姿に感動しました。行きと帰りで違う子でしたが、性格もそれぞれ違く、引き方もそれぞれ違く、面白かったです。三線と歌も素敵でした。
送迎もありがとうございました。
とてもいい体験でした。
Around Christmas, it is indeed cold! Keeping warm is important.
クリスマス辺りはやはり寒いです!防寒が大切です。
