This was my family's first trip to Iriomote Island. I thought we might get tired in the morning and afternoon, but that wasn't the case at all; we had a great time. Our guide, Mr. Iizuka, was attentive to safety and time while introducing us to the many charms of Iriomote Island, making for a very fulfilling experience. I hope to join another tour in the future.
家族ではじめての西表島。午前と午後は疲れるかな〜と思っていましたが、そんな事はなくとても楽しめました。
ガイドのイイヅカさんは、安全や時間に気を配りながらも、西表島の魅力をたくさん紹介してくれて、とても充実した時間を持てました。
また別なツアーで参加したいなあ。と思っています。

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!

The mangrove kayaking, trekking to Pinai Sara Falls, diving at the waterfall basin, and lunch were all fantastic. The guide provided local information at various points along the course and gave thorough lectures on important points to be cautious about during the trekking. I was able to spend invaluable time experiencing the nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you very much! ☆
マングローブのカヤック、ピナイサーラの滝へのトレッキング、滝壺でのダイブ・昼食が最高でした。
ガイドの方もコースの時々に応じて地元の情報を教えていただき、トレッキングでは気をつけないといけないポイントは丁寧にレクチャーいただき、西表島の自然に触れる何にも替えがたい大切な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

I used this service for the first time.
We went to Yufu Island by water buffalo, and in the afternoon, we did mangrove kayaking and trekking to Pinai Sara Falls.
For lunch, we had handmade, heartfelt rice ball bento, which was incredibly delicious (laughs).
The guide was truly knowledgeable and shared various stories about the flora and fauna of the Yaeyama Islands during the trek.
I really felt that they love the Yaeyama region and their work.
The lecture was also wonderful, and I was able to paddle smoothly in the kayak for the first time.
At Pinai Sara Falls, they took many photos for us and even provided warm drinks, making it a very attentive experience.
It was a very heartwarming tour (even though the temperature was scorching, haha). I would definitely like to sign up again if I have the chance!
Thank you!
初めて利用させて頂きました。
水牛で由布島→午後はマングローブカヤックとピナイサーラの滝までトレッキングです。
お昼は手作りの心籠ったおにぎり弁当で、これがやたら美味しかったです(笑)
ガイドさんは本当に知識豊富で、トレッキング最中にもいろいろと八重山に関する動植物の話をしてくれました。
本当に八重山郡と仕事が好きなんだなぁと感じました。
レクチャーも素晴らしく、初めて乗ったカヤックもスムーズに漕ぐことができました。
ピナイサーラの滝ではたくさん写真を撮っていただき、温かい飲み物までだしてくれて、至れり尽くせりです。
とても心温まる(気温は灼熱ですが笑)ツアーでした。また機会があったらぜひ申し込みたいです!

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!

Due to the rain in the evening, the stargazing tour was canceled. The night tour for wildlife observation also had to turn back midway because the trail was muddy. I understand it couldn't be helped, but it was quite disappointing in many ways. However, I was very satisfied because I was able to see the forest in full bloom with the Sagarihana. The guide's efforts to keep the mood up and his stories were also entertaining.
夕方からの雨のため、星空ツアーが中止となった。野生動物観察のナイトツアーも、トレイルがぬかるんでいて途中で引き返し。 仕方ないと思うけれど、いろいろ残念だった。しかし、一番見たかったサガリバナ満開の森は見ることができたので大満足。ガイドのお兄さんの盛り上げようとする頑張りとお話も面白かった。

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! 😊

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!✌️

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。

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.

After that, we discovered various sizes of coconut crabs, and it was a continuous cycle of touching them and being surprised. We also found many other creatures. Although the starry sky was faint due to the clouds, we strolled along the beach, and honestly, it was more fun than I expected.
Watch out for the beetles that rush towards the light!

I participated in the third day of my trip to Ishigaki Island.
On that day, the ferry to Uehara Port was canceled all day, so I took a bus from Ohara Port to the shuttle bus pickup location for Uehara Port. (I was informed about this during a phone call the day before!)
In the morning, since the mangrove canoeing was crowded, I was guided to explore the limestone cave first! There are some dark areas, but they lend you a light in advance. It was my first time in a limestone cave, and I had a great time seeing various plants and creatures!
After returning from the limestone cave, it was lunchtime♪ I was very satisfied with my favorite rice set! It was very filling!!
In the afternoon, we went to Pinai Saara Falls for mangrove canoeing and trekking. Even as a beginner in canoeing, they explained how to paddle clearly, and I really enjoyed it✨ They helped us avoid the canoe traffic, so it wasn't crowded at all, and I felt like we had the place to ourselves!
I didn't use the restroom during the canoeing and trekking, so it's essential to take care of that after lunch!
After the tour, there was time to change, and once I was ready, they took me to the bus stop for the bus to Ohara Port via shuttle bus. I had plenty of time before the return ferry.
The ferry departed Ishigaki Island at 8:00 and arrived back around 18:00, so it was a full day tour!!
The photos taken during the tour can be obtained via LINE♪
By signing up for this tour, I had a valuable and wonderful experience✨ It was so much fun!! When I go to Iriomote Island again, I would like to participate in the sunset tour or the firefly viewing tour♪ Thank you very much!

Although there was a forecast for rain on Iriomote Island, it turned out to be sunny during the day, so I booked a stargazing tour. Even though it was the same day, they provided transportation to the hotel. The guide's explanations were great, and I was able to learn more about Iriomote Island for the first time. We observed various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, habu snakes, and crabs. It was a rare experience to step into the lush forest at night. When we emerged from the forest onto the beach, I wanted to say it was a sky full of stars! However, there were a few clouds, and the moon was out, so it wasn't quite the starry sky I had imagined, but I still experienced a wonderful night sky. If I have another chance, I will participate again.
雨の予報が出ていた西表島でしたが、なんと日中晴れたため、星空観測ツアーを予約しました。当日でしたが、ホテルまで送迎していただきました。ガイドの方の説明も良く、初めての西表島をより深く知ることができました。動植物鑑賞は、ヤシガニ、ハブ、カニなど。夜に草木茂る森に足を踏み入れることがないため貴重な体験。森を抜けてビーチに出ると、一面の星空!と言いたいとこでしたが、少し雲がかかり、月も出ていたため、思い描いていたような星空とまでは行きませんでしたが、素敵な星空を体験出来ました。またチャンスがあれは参加します。

上原港欠航で大原経由となりスケジュールもタイトでしたが、ガイドのお兄さんが丁寧に案内してくれました。
カヌーは西表島の風が気持ちよく、トレッキングもちょうどよい距離です。
道中は草花の解説もしてくれて、写真も撮ってもらえます。
滝の前で食べるお弁当も最高です!
由布島ではかわいい水牛に会え、優しい島んちゅさんたちが迎えてくださいました。
移動中も島の色々なお話が聞けて、ガイドさんが素晴らしいです。
また島を訪れる際は別のツアーも参加したいと思います。

I participated with my fourth-grade child. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed canoeing while observing the river's vegetation, including mangroves, trekking to the waterfall, and exploring a limestone cave. My child loves animals, and the guide provided thorough explanations about the tree-climbing lizards, rock lizards, millipedes, and crowned eagles we encountered along the way. The guide also shared detailed information about not only the animals but also the plants, the formation of the limestone caves, and the surrounding geography, demonstrating a high level of expertise. Throughout the journey, the guide took many photos and efficiently shared them at the end, showing great hospitality. The canoeing experience with the blue sky and mangroves, trekking through the jungle, the stunning views around the waterfall, and the extraordinary experience in the limestone cave were all wonderful. Thank you very much.
小学4年生の子供と参加しました。天気にも恵まれ、マングローブを始めとした河の植生や水辺の生き物を見ながらのカヌー、滝までのトレッキング、鍾乳洞探検、いずれも楽しめました。子供は生きもの好きなのですが、滝までの道中見かけたキノボリトカゲやイシガキトカゲ、ヤスデの仲間、カンムリワシなどについてガイドの方がちゃんと説明してくださっていました。動物だけでなく植物や鍾乳洞の形成、周辺の地理なども詳しくお話くださっていて、専門性の高いしっかりしたガイドの方だったと思います。道中もこまめに写真を撮ってくださり、最後に手際よく共有もしてくださってホスピタリティも高いと思いました。青い空とマングローブを見ながらのカヌー体験、ジャングルのトレッキング、滝つぼ周辺の素晴らしい景色、鍾乳洞の非日常体験、どれもすばらしいものでした。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my fourth-grade child. Although there were times when it was sunny during the day but cloudy at night, fortunately, the weather allowed us to see the stars clearly. The guide was quick on their feet and flexibly took us to a spot where we could see the stars while they were still visible. The starry sky in Iriomote Island was truly wonderful. During the night walk, we encountered many creatures like coconut crabs, habu snakes, hermit crabs, and possibly a brown hawk owl, which made for great memories for my child who loves animals. There was also another small child in our group, and I was grateful that the guide was very attentive to them. The tour provided insect repellent, lights, and since the terrain was rough, they lent us boots, so we didn't need any special equipment. It was hot, but since we sometimes walked through dense vegetation, I think long sleeves and long pants are a good idea. Thank you very much for this experience.
小学4年生の子供と一緒に参加しました。日中晴れていても夜は雲が出るというようなこともそれまではありましたが、幸いにも星空が良く見える天気に。ガイドの方が機転を利かせてくれて、星が見れるうちに星が良く見えるスポットに行くなどフレキシブルに対応くださいました。西表島の星空は本当に素晴らしかったです。ナイトウォークでもヤシガニやハブ、オカヤドカリ、コノハズク?など多くの生き物に遭遇でき生きもの好きな子供にも良い思い出となりました。もう1人小さなお子さんがいらっしゃいましたがガイドの方が丁寧に対応してくれていてありがたかったです。ツアーでは虫よけ、ライト、足場が悪いためブーツの貸し出しはしてくださったので特別な道具はいりませんでした。暑いですが茂みの中を行くこともあるので長袖、長ズボンが良いと思います。今回はどうもありがとうございました。

I participated in Teru's tour!
I was very grateful that they worked hard to find coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and owls so that the participants could enjoy themselves.
It was also helpful that they flexibly changed the tour content because it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, and we were able to see four coconut crabs, which was what we were hoping for.
They provide detailed explanations about the ecology of living creatures and plants, so I recommend this tour for those visiting the island for the first time.
テルさんのツアーに参加しました!
参加者が楽しめるよう、ヤシガニやヤドカリ、フクロウを一生懸命探してくださりとてもありがたかったです
お目当てのヤシガニも4匹見れたのと、曇りで星が見えないからと柔軟にツアー内容を変更いただけたのも助かりました。
生き物や植物の生態について詳しく説明してくださるので、初めて島に来る方にもオススメです

First time trying canoeing.
I participated with my wife in a two-person canoe.
The distance for canoeing felt shorter than I expected (it might have just felt that way because it was so much fun).
They provided a thorough explanation about the mangroves.
They also took some great photos!
The trekking to the waterfall took about 30 minutes.
There were no particularly steep paths, so we climbed up easily.
For snorkeling, we first went to Barasu Island.
Since we arrived about an hour and a half after low tide, it was mostly underwater, which was disappointing...
We moved to a different spot and encountered beautiful fish and turtles!
We went snorkeling at two locations.
It was a lot of fun.
初めてカヌーに挑戦
嫁と二人乗りで参加しました。
カヌーは思ったより距離が短かった印象
(楽しすぎて一瞬に感じただけかもしれません)
マングローブの説明など丁寧にしてくれました。
写真もいい感じに撮ってくれました!
滝までのトレッキングは30分ほど。
特に険しい道もなくサクサク登れました。
シュノーケルはまずバラス島へ。
干潮時刻から時刻が1時間半ほど過ぎていたので、
ほぼ水の中で残念。。。
違うポイントへ移動しきれいな魚とカメに出会えました!
2箇所でシュノーケリングしました。
楽しかったです。

I was able to experience many representative activities of Iriomote Island in a full day. It may not be suitable for those who lack physical stamina. I was amazed by the scale of the mangroves and the Pinaisara Falls. The explanations from the knowledgeable guide were also very good.
丸一日のアクティビティで、西表島の代表的なものをたくさん体験できました。
体力が無い人には向いていないかもしれません。
マングローブとピナイサーラの滝のスケールに驚かされました。
精通したガイドさんの解説もとても良かったです。

We were fortunate to have a clear day amidst the long rain, and we had a great time. The photos from the tour were also sent to us, creating wonderful memories.
長雨の中、ちょうど晴れた日に恵まれ、楽しく過ごしました。ツアー中の写真も送っていただき、良い思い出になりました。
