Originally, I had signed up for the SUP @ Mangrove and snorkeling tour at Barasu Island, but due to poor conditions around Barasu Island, I received an inquiry the day before asking, "Would you like to cancel? Or switch to another tour?" Since I was already there, I decided to book the trekking and SUP @ Mangrove tour, and that turned out to be a great decision! The instructor, Matsuko, had only been there for a few months, but she was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island. She shared many interesting tidbits during our travel, including stories about the road construction that was halted and a simulator game at the wildcat museum.
After arriving, we all moved to the point with a simple mountain climb. Along the way, she introduced us to the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island. Coincidentally, there were four couples participating, including my husband and me: a couple who were masters of remote islands, a chatty couple from Kansai (Shikoku), and a calm yet friendly couple. Everyone was very approachable, and we became close through activities like diving. My usually quiet husband seemed to have a lot of fun, adding his own flair during the dives and really enjoying himself. At the end of the activities, the remote island master couple recommended a dining spot, which we promptly visited. The other couples also enjoyed hearing stories about different remote islands from them. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories, instructor Matsuko, and to all the couples! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Oh, and about the clothing: I thought I would be wearing a wetsuit over my swimsuit, so I wore my swimsuit, but the equipment provided included only a helmet, shoes, and a jacket. Everyone else was dressed in T-shirts or rash guards over their swimsuits, and shorts or leggings. I didn't have those, so I ended up wearing pajamas (short-sleeved & relaxed fit) over my swimsuit, which felt quite silly and embarrassing, especially since it would be captured in photos (though it could make for a funny story). I think it would be wise to consider your outfit if you participate!
もともと、SUP@マングローブとバラス島上陸のシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでいましたが、バラス島周辺のコンディションが悪く、「キャンセルしますか?別のツアーにしますか?」の問い合わせが前日にありました。折角なのでトレッキングとSUP@マングローブでツアーを申し込んだ所、それがもう大正解!インストラクターのマツコさんはまだ来て数ヶ月との事でしたが、西表島の事をよくご存知で、道路工事が途中で中断してしまった話や、ヤマネコの博物館(?)のシュミレーターゲームの話などなど、移動中に小ネタを沢山話してくれました。到着後、皆でポイントまで簡単な山登りをしながら移動。途中、西表島の動植物についても紹介してもらいました。たまたま参加していたメンバーが、私達夫婦を含めて4カップル。離島マスター夫婦、お喋り関西人夫婦(四国)、穏やかだけど気さくに話せる夫婦、とメンバーも皆親しみやすく、飛び込みを始めとしたアクティビティを通じて仲良くなりました。普段寡黙な主人も相当楽しかったようで、飛び込み時にアレンジを加えたり、凄く楽しんでいました。アクティビティ終わりには離島マスター夫婦からおススメの食事処を教えてもらい、早速訪ねてみました。他の夫婦達も離島マスター夫婦から別の離島の話を聞いたりして楽しんでました。本当に最高の思い出をありがとうございました、インストラクターのマツコさん、それぞれの夫婦の皆さま!残りの旅を楽しんでください!
そうだ、あとは、服装ですが、私は水着の上からウェットスーツを着用すると思ったので、水着を着て行ったのですが、装備として渡されるのは、ヘルメットとシューズとジャケットのみなので、皆は水着の上にTシャツやラッシュガード、下はスパッツにハーパンのような格好でした。私はそれらの用意がなかったので、水着の上からパジャマ(半袖&リラコ)を着用して臨みましたが、大分ダサくて恥ずかしかったですし笑、写真にも残ってしまうので(ネタにはなりますが笑)ご参加される際は、格好を考えたほうがいいかもなって思いました。

We participated with two elementary school children, making a group of four. It was our first experience with canoeing, but we enjoyed it thanks to the guide's lecture! We were able to go to places that the sightseeing boat couldn't reach, and we really enjoyed observing the mangroves up close. It seems that depending on the tide, we might not be able to go far in, but we could see rare creatures, and since even the kids could paddle, I think it's great for families too.
小学生2人の子供と4人で参加しました。カヌーは初体験でしたが、ガイドさんのレクチャーもあり楽しめました!遊覧船では入れないとこまで行けるし、間近でマングローブを観察出来て本当に楽しめました。潮の時間によっては奥まで行けないこともあるらしいですが、珍しい生物も見れるし子供でも漕げたのでファミリーにも良いと思います。

We participated with our 7-year-old and 10-year-old. It was our first time canoeing, and I was anxious about the preparations, but I received a phone call the day before, and they kindly answered all my questions, which made me feel very reassured.
On the day of the event, our 10-year-old got seasick on the ferry and unfortunately didn't recover for the rest of the day. Since it was just our family, they were very attentive to our child's condition and adjusted the pace, allowing us to move comfortably.
Canoeing was incredibly fun! When we reached the waterfall, our 7-year-old, who usually gets scared and doesn't want to go down slides, jumped into the water and had a great time playing energetically. The handmade Yaeyama soba we had there was warm and truly delicious. The pork was homemade by the wife, and it was tender and fantastic!
In the end, considering the children's condition, we decided not to go to Yubujima and took an early ferry back. They told us about Yamaneko Park and kindly drove us there. This park is a great place to relax, and it's close to Ohara Port. Our older child was able to lie down and sleep soundly until the ferry, which really improved their mood. The younger one found the Yamaneko slide a bit scary and gave up halfway, but they had a lot of fun playing in the park.
I apologize for the sudden health issues, but they handled everything very kindly, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I would be happy to try again if possible.
7歳、10歳の子連れで参加しました。カヌーは初めてで、どういった準備が正しいのか不安でしたが、前日にお電話を頂き、丁寧に質問に答えて頂いてとても安心しました。
当日は、10歳の子がフェリーで酔ってしまい、以後残念ながらずっと体調が快復しませんでした。今回は私達家族のみでしたので、とても細やかに体調を気遣って頂き、ペースも合わせて下さり無理のない動きが出来ました。
カヌーは最高に楽しかったです!滝つぼに着くと、7歳の子は普段は怖がってスライダーも滑りたがらない子ですが、この日はいっぱい水に飛び込んで本当に元気に楽しく遊べました。
ここで頂いた手作り八重山そばは温かくて、本当に美味しかったです。ソーキは奥様の手作りで、トロトロで最高でした!
結局、子どもの体調を考えて、由布島には渡らず早めのフェリーで帰る事にしました。ヤマネコパークがありますよと教えて頂き、そこまで送って貰いました。ここは本当にゆっくりできる公園で、大原港からも近く、上の子はフェリーまで横になってぐっすり眠れたので、かなり気分が改善できました。下の子も、ヤマネコの滑り台は怖くて途中でリタイアしましたが、公園で沢山遊べました。
急な体調不良でご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、とても丁寧に対応して頂いて、良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。またリベンジ出来たら嬉しいです。

Snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning.
In the afternoon, we did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding.
It was a full-day course, and it ended so quickly because we had so much fun.
Our guide was Gakki.
Her powerful guidance was at just the right pace—not too fast and not too slow!
Thanks to her, we talked about so many things throughout the day about the ocean and the mangroves, making it an incredibly enjoyable day!
I made great memories on my first visit to Iriomote Island!
朝からバラス島シュノーケリング。
お昼からはマングローブsup。
一日コースでしたが楽しくあっという間に終わりました。

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

The day before, I was surprised to learn that if I didn't reconfirm within a limited time, it would be a forced cancellation. During the phone call, I was told, "You know where to meet for the rental car, right? It's by the statue of the wildcat," and I was left speechless... However, when I actually met the guide, he was a seasoned professional who gave off a reassuring vibe, just like the old days!
After our greeting, he suddenly emphasized multiple times, "It's tougher than you might imagine," which I think should be mentioned in the tour details... This is essential information to know before participating in the tour. That's why I decided to write this review.
Since it was scorching hot, I recommend that parents in their 40s and 50s who are desk workers and not used to physical activity really prepare themselves for the summer heat. It's a very enjoyable tour, so I think kids will be just fine! The waterfall was breathtaking and absolutely wonderful!
Also, during low tide, you have to pull the canoe and walk quite a distance on sandy ground, so I believe it could be quite challenging if you don't check the timing. When we went, we barely managed to walk about 20 meters, so we made it back safely.
前日、限られた時間に、こちらからリコンファームしないと強制キャンセルとのことで、驚きました。電話の際も「レンタカーの集合は、やまねこの銅像のとこ、わかるでしょ?」と言われ唖然・・・。でも実際お会いすると、「納得な」感じのベテランのガイドさんで、昔ながらの頼りがいのある方でした!!
が、集合のご挨拶後いきなり「想像以上にきついですから」と何度も念押しされ、、、、それはツアー内容に書いておいほしい・・・。ツアーに参加する前に必要な情報ですよね。。。なのでここに口コミすることにしました。
炎天下ですので真夏はかなり気合いれて参加してください@デスクワークで体動かしていない40~50代のお父さんお母さん。とても楽しいツアーですのでお子さんは全然大丈夫とおもいます!!滝は圧巻ですばらしかった!
なお、干潮時は、カヌーを引っ張ってかなりの距離、砂地歩くのでこの時間帯を確認しないと大変なことになると思います。私らの時はギリギリ、20mほどあるく程度ですんだので、生還できました。
Thank you for using our service. I think it can be quite tough for those who don't walk regularly. The heat in Okinawa must have made it even more challenging. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to working with you again. Thank you.
この度は、ご利用いただきましてありがとうございました。日頃歩かれない方には、かなりきついと思います。沖縄の暑さもあって大変だったと思います。
また機会があればよろしくお願い致します。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time paddleboarding, and since it was on a river, there was no shaking, so I wasn't scared at all, and it was really fun. I was even able to stand up partway through.
The snorkeling at Balas Island also had high visibility, and I was able to see plenty of fish with just a snorkel.
I highly recommend it.
初サップ、川なので揺れず、怖くなく、とても楽しかったです。途中から立つこともできました。
バラス島シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、シュノーケルでも十分魚が見れました。

I was guided by the veteran Iwamoto, who has been in this field for 30 years, to the mouth of the Urauchi River by canoe. The sunset viewed from the water was absolutely stunning. After seeing a sky full of stars, we entered a mysterious narrow stream. In the darkness, I saw bats flying in front of me, heard the sounds of fish jumping, the rustling of something stepping on fallen leaves, and the hooting of an owl—everything felt eerie and mystical (there's no way I would have gone without Iwamoto). By the time we returned to the mouth of the river, it was completely dark. In that setting, as I dipped the paddle into the water to head back to the starting point, countless glow-in-the-dark insects lit up, which was also very mystical. I’ve done various activities like daytime mangrove kayaking and night jungle tours, but this was the best optional tour. Next time I come, I definitely want to do this with my kids as well!
この道30年のベテラン岩本さんに案内して頂き、カヌーで浦内川河口付近へ。水上から見るサンセットは最高でした。満点の星を見た後は、怪しげな細い流域に入ります。暗闇の中、目の前をコウモリが飛んだと思えば、あちこちで魚が跳ねる音、何かが落ち葉を踏む音、ミミズクの鳴き声、全てが不気味&神秘的です(岩本さん無しで行く気には到底なりません)。河口に戻ってくる頃には完全に暗闇です。そんな中で、スタート地点に戻ろうと水面にパドルを差し込むと、無数の夜行虫が光って、これもまたとても神秘的です。昼間のマングローブカヤック、歩きでのナイトジャングルツアーなど、色々やりましたが、オプショナルツアーとしてはこれが最高でした。次回来たら、今度は子供も入れて必ずやりたいと思います!
Thank you for participating in the Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. We look forward to seeing you again if the opportunity arises. Thank you!

I traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island and stayed at a glamping facility. The next day, although I had no plans, I decided to look for activities I could join, and I found this canyoning tour that was available for booking, so I reserved it immediately! (There was a campaign where if I wrote a review later, I would get a cash back for one person!)
I was picked up at the port along with other guests and we headed to the river by car. There were guests who had been participating since the morning, creating a friendly atmosphere. It was fun to hear about the creatures that inhabit Iriomote Island during the ride!
I was a bit anxious since it was my first canyoning experience, but physically, I had no problems at all! We went through some tricky spots, but I felt that as long as I followed the advice given, there was hardly any danger. There were places where you could jump in and areas where you could slide like a waterslide, which was a bit scary but turned out to be a great experience! (If you're scared, it's okay not to do it!)
They provided helmets and shoes, so I really could go hands-free!
I had a waterproof case, but I was worried, so I left my phone (camera) in the car. Some people brought GoPros, but the staff took photos at various points and sent them to us! (I wish they had taken some pictures of the scenery too.)
Since it was a river, it didn't feel sticky like swimming at the beach, and I was glad that I could use the shower at the office on the way back, so I felt refreshed before boarding the ferry!
I decided to join at the last minute, but I'm really glad I did!
石垣島から西表島に渡り、グランピング施設に宿泊、翌日はノープランだったのですが、せっかくならと翌日参加できるアクティビティを夜な夜な探したところ、こちらのキャニオニングツアーが予約可能だったので即予約!(後日体験談を書けば、1人分キャッシュバックされるキャンペーン中でした!)
他のお客さんと一緒に港でピックアップしてもらい、車で川へ向かいました。午前中から参加しているお客さんもいて、和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。車内では西表島に生息する生き物の話などもしてもらえて楽しかったです!
初めてのキャニオニングで少し不安もありましたが、体力的には全く問題なかったです!足場の悪いところをいきますが、アドバイスされたとおりに進めば危険もほとんど無いと思いました。
飛び込みできる場所があったり、スライダーのように滑れる場所があったり、ちょっと怖かったですが良い経験になりました!(怖い人はやらなくても大丈夫でした!)
ヘルメットもシューズも貸してもらえるので、ほんとに手ぶらで大丈夫でした!
防水ケースは持っていましたが心配だったので携帯(カメラ)は車に置いていきました。
ゴープロを持って来ている方もいましたが、スタッフさんがポイントポイントでは撮って送ってくれます!(景色なども撮ってほしかったなー)
川なのでビーチで泳ぐのとは違いベタつかず、帰りに事務所でシャワーを使うことができたので、スッキリして帰りのフェリーに乗れてよかったです!
直前で参加を決めましたが、参加できてよかったです!

Right after the announcement of the end of the rainy season, we participated as a mature couple in late June. On the day of the event, the temperature rose from the morning, and it was a perfect sunny day for canyoning with eight participants in four couples. We were the oldest, of course!
Wearing life jackets and helmets, we headed to the starting point! Even though it was summer, the first photo spot where we had to immerse ourselves up to our necks made everyone scream from the cold water. As we jumped from a high point and played on the rapid slides, everyone naturally returned to their childhood. The sun, the subtropical greenery, and the splashing water from the flow gently relaxed our hearts, which usually live in the city.
At the end, we climbed a wall and jumped about 4 meters into the river! After sinking underwater for a moment, we popped up and took a breath, safely returning to the surface! It was the best moment, feeling one with Iriomote Island.
It was such a fun experience that passed by in the blink of an eye, making us wish we could enjoy it for a longer time. Highly recommended!
梅雨明け宣言の直後、6月後半に熟年夫婦で参加しました。当日は朝から気温も上昇、快晴のキャニオリング日和で参加者はカップル4組の8人。私達が最高齢笑。
ライフジャケットとヘルメットを付けスタート地点へ!真夏の気温とはいえ最初に首まで浸かる写真スポットでは水の冷たさに一同悲鳴〜。高台から飛び込み、急流の滑り台に遊ばれと進むにつれ自然と童心に帰っている皆さん。太陽と亜熱帯の緑、飛沫を上げる流れにと南の島の豊かな自然が都会に暮らす私達の心を優しくほぐしてくれます。
最後はクライミングもどきに壁をよじ登り約4m程から川面へジャンプ!一旦水中に沈みブハッ!と顔を出し息を吸うと無事生還!西表島と一体感を味わう最高の瞬間です。
もっと長い時間を楽しみたいと思うほどあっという間に過ぎた楽しい体験でした。
おすすめです!

Mammoth Tour Company. Everything is messy. There are too many inefficiencies in the operations, and the quality of the guides is terrible. They advertise on their website that you can visit three places for 15,000 yen, but in reality, it's only two. I do not recommend this at all. I think it's better to go with a privately operated guide.
マンモスツアー会社。全てが雑。オペレーションも無駄が多いし、ガイドの質が悪すぎる。15000円で3つ行けるとホームページに書いておきながら実際は二つとかあり得ない。全くオススメしません。個人経営のガイドの方がいいと思います。
Thank you very much for using Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience caused by the inappropriate behavior of our guide.
Regarding Barasu Island, it has recently become very small, and there are days when landing is not possible.
We informed customers in advance and are offering a plan that includes two tours: SUP/canoeing on the Kurara River and snorkeling around Barasu Island, instead of a set plan that includes landing on Barasu.
Both plans are priced at 15,000 yen, and we sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings.
This is due to our lack of training in operations and prior announcements, and we apologize once again.
Moving forward, we will review our management system to ensure all customers are satisfied.

In the morning, I participated in a snorkeling activity, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves!
The snorkeling was amazing, with beautiful fish and coral. Even as a near first-timer, I was able to enjoy it easily thanks to the life jacket. We swam at two spots, including Baras Island, so I got to see various underwater scenery, and I was deeply moved when I saw a sea turtle swimming up close at the end!
In the afternoon, the mangrove experience was great too. They carefully taught us how to paddle and ride, making it easy for beginners like me! I felt connected to nature in a way I usually can't, and I was healed by the natural plants and animals around the Kuura Falls!
Overall, I think it was a truly fulfilling tour that filled my heart throughout the day! The guide's explanations and the many photos we received afterward became wonderful memories.
I joined this tour as a solo traveler on a tight schedule, but the other participants and the guide were so kind that I was able to enjoy it fully on my own! Thank you very much!
午前中にシュノーケリング、午後からはマングローブでSUPというアクティビティツアーでした!
シュノーケリングは魚もサンゴもすごくキレイで、ほぼ初体験に近い私でもライフジャケットのおかげで難なく楽しめました。バラス島を含めて2か所のポイントを泳げたので色んな水中の景色が見れたのと、最後にすごく近くでウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることが出来たのでとても感動しました!
午後からのマングローブも、始めに乗り方漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくれたので初めてでも簡単に乗れました!
普段見ることのできないような大自然を感じることができ、クーラの滝にも自然の動植物にも癒やされました!
1日通して本当に心が満たされたツアーだったと思います!ガイドさんの説明や、ツアー後にたくさんもらえる写真もとても思い出になりました。
今回は弾丸の一人旅で参加したツアーでしたが、他の参加者やガイドさんも優しくて一人でも充分に楽しめました!ありがとうございました!

I was guided with some little information about Iriomote Island and explanations about nature, which made the experience fresh as I could understand more about the island! Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle while snorkeling, so I am very satisfied.
西表島のプチ情報や、自然についての解説をしながら案内してくれたので、西表島のことを理解しながら体験できるというのが新鮮でした!
またシュノーケリングでは運良くカメくんにも出会えたのでとても満足しています。

In the morning, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island. Our guide, Kaz, was very kind and explained everything in detail. There were two snorkeling spots, and at the first spot, we saw plenty of coral and fish. The next stop at Barasu Island had an astonishing level of transparency, and we were lucky enough to land there, which was breathtaking! Even though I participated without a camera, Kaz kindly sent us photos later, which was very appreciated.
After our lunch break, we experienced canoeing through the mangroves. We got off partway and took a short walk to a waterfall, which was refreshing. Our guide, Shimicchan, was all smiles and shared interesting information about Iriomote Island. He also took photos for us here.
On the way back, we were able to take a shower in a large changing room at the office, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful guides!
朝はバラス島でのシュノーケリング。担当のカズさんはとても親切で、丁寧にいろいろと説明してくれました。シュノーケリングのポイントは2カ所で、最初のポイントはサンゴやサカナがいっぱいみれました。つぎのバラス島はびっくりするくらい透明度で運よく上陸でき、景色に感動!カメラなしで参加しても後からガズさんか写真を送ってくれたので、非常にありがたい。
お昼休憩のあとはマングローブの間をカヌーで体験。途中で降りて、滝までちょっと歩き、リフレッシュ。担当のしみっちゃんは笑顔全開でガイドしてくれて、西表島のことを色々話してくれておもしろかったです。ここでも写真を撮ってくれたました。
帰りはオフィスで大きな更衣室でシャワー浴びれで最初から最後まで至れり尽くせり。とてもすばらしいガイドさんたちに感謝でいっぱいです。

I went on a one-day tour of Iriomote Island! I finally got to experience the canoe tour surrounded by mangroves on the river that I've always wanted to visit! And we explored the limestone caves in the mountains of Iriomote Island! The guidance from the handsome nature-loving brother was amazing! His excitement for nature was so heartwarming!
In the peaceful surroundings, you can hear the sounds of birds, the wind, and the flowing river. He answered all my questions about nature and informed us about dangerous plants in advance, allowing us to enjoy the experience safely! Truly a great nature observation instructor!! I highly recommend it!
It was my first time canoeing, but I improved quite a bit on the way back! Also, we were served Soki soba and bread! It was delicious! Next time, I definitely want to visit your wife's bakery too!
西表島コモレビトリップ1日ツアー行って来ました!
ずっと行きたかった川でのマングローブに囲まれたカヌーツアー!
そして西表島の山の中の鍾乳洞!
イケメン自然大好きお兄さんの案内が最高でした!自然が好きすぎて興奮してる姿が癒されました!笑
静か〜な中に鳥の声や風の音、川の流れ 色んな音が聞こえてきます。
自然に関する質問も全て答えてくれるし危険植物も先に教えてくれて安全に楽しめました!さすが自然観察指導員!!オススメです!
初めてのカヌーでしたが、帰り道にはなかなか上達してましたよ〜
あとソーキそばとパンが出てきます!おいしいですよー!

Dear HitoNori,
Hello. This is Igo from the Iriomote Island Komorebi Trip. Thank you for your review.
And thank you for participating in the tour the other day. Nature is indeed full of healing spaces, isn't it? I personally love nature as well, so it brings me great joy to share that relaxing experience with you.
However, nature is not just about healing; it also comes with its dangers. That's why we have guides to ensure you can enjoy the beautiful yet potentially hazardous flora, fauna, and natural phenomena safely. I may still have a lot to learn as a guide, but I strive to provide the best experience every day.
With your kind words in mind, I will continue to work hard to grow.
Thank you for enjoying the food in the mountains as well! My wife, although not a guide, is a baker who is always pursuing better flavors, so I hope you will enjoy it again in the future.
I look forward to the day we can meet again! Thank you very much!
HitoNori様
こんにちは。
西表島コモレビトリップの五十畑です。
クチコミをいただきましてありがとうございます。
そして先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
大自然には癒しの空間がいっぱいですよね(^^)
僕自身も自然が大好きなので、一緒にのんびりと共感出来ることが何よりもうれしいです。
でも大自然には癒しだけではなく、危険もいっぱいですからね。
そんな危険な動植物や自然現象から安全に楽しんでいただけるようガイドが付いています。
僕自身まだまだなガイドですが、毎日最大限のガイドをさせていただいております。
HitoNori様からのうれしいお言葉を胸に、今後も成長できるよう努めてまいります。
そして山の中での『食』も楽しんでいただきましてありがとうございます!
妻はガイドではございませんがパン職人として、さらに味を追求していますので、また喜んでいただけると嬉しいです。

I was tired from diving, canoeing, and trekking, but everything was authentic, and the experience at the Piñuelas Waterfall was incredibly healing! It was not just an experience; I learned a lot from it, which truly added value. At night, I slept soundly. It became a wonderful memory.
ダイビングもカヌーもトラッキングもで疲れたけど全て本格的でピナイサーラの滝では極上の癒しでした!
体験というレベルではなく、色々教えてくれたので本当にプラスになりまさした。
夜は、ぐっすり眠れました。とても良い思い出になりました。
Thank you for participating in the Pinai Sara Waterfall Kayaking + Experience Diving Tour. We hope to see you again in the future. Thank you!

I originally planned to participate only in canyoning, but I suddenly added snorkeling in the afternoon! It was so much fun jumping in from various spots and sliding down the river like a waterslide! When I requested to have the scenery photographed, they kindly took pictures for me! I received about 140 photos and I'm very satisfied!
Also, the staff were very kind and easy to talk to, which made me feel that just spending the morning on Iriomote Island was not enough, so I quickly signed up for an additional plan in the afternoon! Even though it was a last-minute addition, they responded very politely and promptly, which was really great! Next time, I would like to sign up for a different plan, like canoeing! 😊
キャニオニングだけの参加予定でしたが、急遽午後にシュノーケルも追加させていただきました!
色んなところから飛び込んだり、川の流れを滑り台のように降りてとても楽しかったです!風景も撮って欲しいとリクエストしたら心良く撮っていただけました!!届いた写真は140枚ほどでとても満足です!
また、スタッフの方がとても優しく気兼ねなくお話しできたので、西表島が午前中だけというのが物足りなく感じ急遽午後にも追加プランを申し込みました!急遽の追加なのにとても丁寧かつ迅速に対応していただき本当に良かったです!次回はカヌーなどの別プランを申し込みたいです☺️

I experienced SUP for the first time and it was so much fun! More than anything, our guide, Tacky, was incredibly thorough in his explanations. The conversations during the bus ride and throughout the experience were entertaining, making the time enjoyable from the start! During the experience, he shared information about the plants, and whenever we observed something curiously, he quickly explained it, which made me happy to learn more about Iriomote Island! At the end, when the waves turned against us and we were struggling to move forward, he immediately came to our aid and helped us, allowing us to finish comfortably. He was so cool! His attentiveness, communication, and consideration for others were truly wonderful, and he was a guide who didn’t seem like the youngest at all! I wish him all the best in his future endeavors! Thank you so much!
初めてSUPを体験しましたが凄く楽しかったです♪
何よりガイドしてくれたタッキーさんが凄く丁寧に説明してくださって、バス内でのトーク、体験中の会話が面白くて移動の時から楽しい時間を過ごすことができました! 体験中も植物の話や、私達が不思議そうに観察していたらすぐに説明してくれて西表島のことも色々知れて嬉しかったです!
最後波が逆になってて中々進まずで困ってたらすぐに助けてくれて運んでくれて安心して最後までできました♪
かっこよかったです!
案内の丁寧さ、コミュニケーション、周りの人への気配りが凄く素敵で、最年少とは思えないくらいのガイドさんでした♪
これからのご活躍応援してます!

I took the ferry from Ishigaki Island at 8:30 and participated in canyoning on Iriomote Island.
The weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which made me a bit anxious, but I didn't feel too cold even in short sleeves and shorts!
After about a 10-minute walk, we arrived at the river and jumped right in! There were several places to jump and slides, and even half a day was enough to have a great time. The guide was also entertaining! It was really so much fun!!
On the way back, I was able to borrow a shower at the office. There are no shampoo, conditioner, or hair dryers, so it’s best to bring your own if you need them!
I’ll definitely recommend this to my friends when I get back!✌️
石垣島から8時半のフェリーに乗って、西表島キャニオニング参加しました♪
天気は曇り時々雨で少し不安でしたが、半袖半ズボンでもあまり寒さを感じることがありませんでした!!
10分くらい歩いて川に着いたらさっそく飛び込み!飛び込む場所やスライダーもいくつかあって、半日でも十分楽しめましたっガイドさんも面白い!ほんとにめちゃくちゃ楽しかった!!
帰りは事務所でシャワーも借りられました。シャンプーリンスドライヤーは無いので、必要な方は持参がよさそうです!
帰ったら友達にもオススメします✌️

The guide was truly knowledgeable about stars, plants, animals, and insects, as expected from a nature school. Rather than just talking at us, they asked many questions, making it enjoyable even for solo participants.
They mentioned at the beginning that they wanted us to feel the transition from dusk to night, which we certainly did during the relaxed tour, allowing us to spend a peaceful time. Canoeing felt more like drifting down the river than actively paddling. As dusk turned to night, we could sense the presence and sounds of creatures starting to become active, and we even saw bioluminescent plankton.
I usually choose activities that involve physical movement, but this tour, which encouraged us to pay attention to things we often overlook, shifted my perspective a bit. It was a thoroughly satisfying experience.
ガイドさんは、さすが自然学校と看板にしているだけあって、星・動植物・昆虫なんでも詳しい方でした。一方的に話進めるのではなく、こちらへの問いかけも多く、一人参加でも十分楽しめました。
「日常ではあまり意識しない夕暮れから夜へと変わっていく景色を感じてほしい」と最初にお話されてましたが、その通りにゆったりとした案内で、のどかな時間を過ごせました。
カヌーも「漕いで移動」というよりは、川の中を流される感じ。
夕暮れから夜に変わって、活動し始める生き物の気配や鳴き声を感じたり、夜光虫も見えました。
アクティビティは体を動かすものばかりを選択してきましたが、こうした何もしないで普段気にしないことに目を配り耳を傾けるのもいいなと、価値観が少し変わった大満足のツアーでした。
Thank you for participating in the Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. The stars came out towards the end. Thank you for enjoying the "night." We hope to see you again if the opportunity arises. Thank you.

It was a canoe course around Yufu Island. There were more trees than I expected, and it was challenging to paddle through the jungle, haha. Not only during the canoeing but also during the car ride, I enjoyed the discussions about the wildlife of Iriomote and how the ditches and roads are designed for them! I also received recommendations for good restaurants in Ishigaki and Iriomote!
カヌーと由布島のコースでした。
思ったよりも木がたくさんあり、ジャングルの中をカヌーで進むのは難しかったです笑
カヌーの時だけでなく、移動中の車で西表の生き物の話・そのために側溝や道が工夫されていることなどお話いただいてたのしかったです!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour!
The tour started before sunset, and by the time the sun set, the river was beautifully dyed red, creating a stunning view. Although the sky was cloudy and not filled with stars, it was the best natural experience to listen to the sounds of nature while seeing the stars peeking through the clouds.
The guide was knowledgeable and explained everything in detail, which made me feel comfortable participating in the tour. On the way back, we walked through a forest where fireflies were dancing, creating a very magical atmosphere. I had an experience unique to the island that I can't see in the city. When I visit again, I would love to experience the changing of the day and the starry sky.
ツアーに参加させて頂いて、ありがとうございました!
夕日が沈む前からツアーが始まって、夕日が落ちる時には、河が赤く染まってとっても素敵な景色でした。
曇り空で、星空が一面なわけではなかったのですが、雲の間から見える星々と自然の音を聞きながら、最高の自然体験でした。
ガイドさんは博識で、何でも丁寧に教えて頂いて安心してツアーに参加することができました。
帰りは蛍が飛び交う林の中を歩いて、とても幻想的です。

Dear Yosshi,
Hello. This is Iohata from Iriomote Island Komorebi Trip. Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day! I also appreciate your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that your child's seasickness didn't improve as much as expected, and that they weren't feeling well during the tour. However, I'm sure they were able to feel the power of nature all around them.
Next time, I hope everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest!
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our specialty, Soki Soba! We're still working hard to improve our skills, so we're experimenting to make it even more delicious! Look forward to it next time!
We sincerely look forward to your participation again. Thank you!
