All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

Even as beginners in canoeing and trekking, we had a great time. We are very grateful to our guide, Y, who kindly taught us various things and took many photos for us, including our elementary school children. Thank you very much!

カヌーやトレッキング初心者の我々でも楽しめました。
小学生の子供たちにも親切に色々教えて頂いたり、写真をたくさん撮っていただいたガイドのYさんにはとても感謝しております。
ありがとうございました！

In the morning, we went canoeing and trekking, and in the afternoon, we did snorkeling.

Canoeing was relaxing as we could paddle while enjoying the scenery, making it a laid-back experience. During the trekking, listening to the staff's stories made it more enjoyable than tiring. We even saw a snake along the way, which was amusing!

In the afternoon, the weather was perfect for snorkeling, and I was able to see the sea turtles I had always wanted to see! The staff took photos for us, and they shared them later, allowing us to enjoy the experience twice. It created the best memories! ✨

Thank you very much!

午前にカヌーとトレッキング、午後はシュノーケリングの流れでした。

カヌーはのんびりと景色を見ながら漕ぐことが出来て、ゆったり楽しめる感じでした。
トレッキングはスタッフさんの話を聞きながらまわれたこともあり、キツさよりも楽しさの方が大きかったです。
途中でハブがいました笑

午後からのシュノーケリングは天気にも恵まれ、念願のウミガメを見ることが出来ました！
スタッフさんが写真を撮ってくださって、それを後で共有してもらえたので、2度楽しめました。
最高の思い出ができました✨

ありがとうございました！

I received a call the day before, informing me that the ferry to Uehara would likely be canceled, so I was directed to take the bus to Ohara instead. On the day of the tour, that turned out to be the case, and I ended up being the only participant, making it feel like a private tour. We started with a canoe ride down the river, and in the second half, we did some light trekking up to the waterfall. I was moved by the gradient of the sea and sky seen through the waterfall. It was quite windy, so I got soaked from the splashes, but there was also a beautiful rainbow. Since it was almost a private tour, the guide provided thorough explanations, and as someone who loves nature, it was very enriching for me. On the way back, we leisurely canoed, freeing myself from work stress, and it became an unforgettable memory. I may seem unsociable, but I was much more moved than I appear. Thank you to the Monsoon team and Mr. Fujiwara.

前日に電話をいただき、上原行きの船が欠航になるだろうから大原行に乗り、そこからバスへと案内いただいた。当日は、その通りとなり、ツアー参加するが、時期のせいなのか私一人しかおらず、個人ツアー状態となりました。前半はカヌーで川を進み、後半は軽くトレッキングで滝上迄。そこからの滝越しの海と空のグラディエーションに感動。風が強かったので飛沫があたりびしょ濡れでしたが、虹もでて素敵なんですよ。半個人ツアー常態なので、丁寧に説明していただき、自然が好きな自分なので、非常に為になりました。帰りもカヌーでマッタリ進み、仕事のストレスから開放され、忘れられない思い出となりました。私は無愛想なんですが、見た目より数倍感動してますので。モンスーンの方々、藤原さん、ありがとうございました。

Our guide, S, was very kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience even with our small children. He always answered the children's simple questions, making it a wonderful experience. I would definitely like to request the same guide next time.

ガイドのSさんが、とても親切で小さな子供連れの私達でも楽しむことができました。
子供たちの素朴な疑問にも常に答えてくれ、とてもいい経験となりました。
次回もぜひ 同じガイドさんにお願いしたいと思いました。

Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to Barasu Island, but the Pinai Sara Falls were truly wonderful. Canoeing while looking at the mangroves felt very subtropical. During the trekking, they explained various plants, and it was definitely better to go with a guide because I could understand Iriomote Island more deeply by hearing different explanations and stories. The rice balls for lunch were incredibly delicious. I felt rejuvenated after playing by the waterfall.

台風の影響でバラス島は行けなくなったのですがピナイサーラの滝は本当に良かったです
マングローブ見ながらのカヌーは本当に亜熱帯
トレッキングでは色んな植物の説明をしてくれて
やっぱり個人で行くより色んな説明やお話を聞く事でより深く西表島を分かる事ができるので良かったです
お昼のお握りもお米がメチャクチャ美味しかったです
滝と遊んだ後に癒されました

First of all, the starry sky was wonderful. Also, the enthusiasm and information from the cute guide about the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island made the jungle experience so much more enjoyable!

まず、満天の星がよかったです。また、かわいいお姉さんの西表島の動植物に対する熱と情報でジャングルも何倍も楽しめました！

I was worried that the bad weather would prevent us from seeing the stars, but the wind cleared the clouds, and we were able to enjoy the best starry sky. The stars in the pitch darkness, the bioluminescent plankton, the fireflies, and the mangroves created a truly magical and wonderful experience.

悪天候で星が見えるか心配していましたが、風で雲が流れて最高の星空をみることができました⭐︎
真っ暗な中の星空、夜光虫、ホタル、マングローブはとても幻想的で素敵な体験をさせていただきました。

I had heard that getting to the top of Pisainara Falls is quite challenging, but with the guides checking on us and allowing breaks, we were able to trek more energetically than I expected.

The various explanations during the trekking and canoeing were easy to understand and very educational. Also, the casual conversations were enjoyable (laughs).

The handmade rice balls we ate at the top of the falls were delicious!

Swimming in the pool at the base of the falls after sweating felt really refreshing.

Next time, I definitely want to request other tours with Monsoon! I will visit Iriomote Island again when I feel tired from work!

ピサイナーラの滝の滝上に行くのはけっこう大変だと聞いていましたが、私達の様子を見ながら休憩を入れたりしていただき、思っていたより元気にトレッキングすることができました。
トレッキング中やカヌー中のさまざまな説明もわかりやすくてとても勉強になりました。また、雑談も楽しかったです(笑)

滝上で食べた手作りのおにぎりもとてもおいしかったです！

汗をかいた後に滝壺で泳いだのがまたとても気持ちよくてよかったです。

次回はぜひ、モンスーンさんで他のツアーもお願いしたいと思いました！
また仕事に疲れたら西表島に行きます！

It was a half-day course, but I was extremely satisfied! Since it was a small group, it was easy to move around, and thank you for taking so many photos＾＾ I ended up with full-body muscle soreness, and I really think the half-day course was perfect… haha. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it! Thank you very much!

半日コースでしたが、すごく大満足でした！
少人数だったので動きやすかったですし、写真も沢山撮ってくださりありがとうございました＾＾
全身筋肉痛になり、半日コースで本当よかったと思います…笑
また機会があれば、お願いしたいです♪
ありがとうございました！

The waterfall and snorkeling were amazing! Every view was beautiful and moving! The guide's stories were also interesting and enjoyable. It was physically demanding, but I felt like I could really enjoy each part! I was able to swim a lot at the waterfall and even saw sea turtles. We got some great photos, so I have plenty of memories. I definitely had muscle pain the next day. The woman's angry voice in the shop was scary. The tour was very fun and made me feel happy!

滝もシュノーケリングも最高でした！どの景色もキレイで感動しました！ガイドさんの話しもおもしろくて良かったです。
体力のいる内容でしたが、一つ一つしっかり楽しめた気がします！滝でもたくさん泳げて、ウミガメもみれました。写真もとってもらえたので思い出いっぱいです。次の日からしっかり筋肉痛になりました
ショップ内にいた女の人が怒る声が怖かったです。ツアーはとっても楽しくて幸せな気持ちになりました！！

I was lucky to see many stars! I was also moved by seeing the Milky Way for the first time in my life! I got to see many coconut crabs too! During the journey, we talked about various things, and I really enjoyed Iriomote Island! Thank you very much!

運良く星も沢山見れて！人生初の天の川にも感動しました！
ヤシガニも沢山見れました！
移動中も色々な話をしてくださり、西表島楽しめました！ありがとうございました

I was worried it might be cloudy, but fortunately, it was clear on the day, and I was able to see a perfect starry sky. I've been to several places with beautiful starry skies, but this might be the best. It was really great.
The jungle exploration was also very satisfying, as I encountered several coconut crabs and purple land hermit crabs.

曇らないか心配でしたが、当日は運良く晴れて、満点の星空を見ることができました。星空が綺麗なところにいくつか行ったことがありますが、ここが一番かもしれません。すごく良かったです。
ジャングル探索もヤシガニや紫オカヤドカリに何匹も会えて、大満足です。

The instructions for the meeting place were unclear, yet they showed displeasure for not arriving on time. There were no other tour participants, so it wasn't a situation where anyone would be inconvenienced. I didn't feel any hospitality. I didn't see a single animal. I would have been better off relaxing in my room. I cannot recommend this at all.

待ち合わせ場所の指示が不明確なのが悪いのに、時間通りにつかなかったことに不機嫌をあらわにしてくる。他のツアー参加者もおらず、誰に迷惑かかる状況でもないのに。ホスピタリティを感じない。1匹も動物も見れなかった。これなら部屋でゆっくりしてたほうがマシだった。全くお勧めできない。

This time, on August 22, my spouse and I were taken care of by Monsoon!
They were very kind, and from the detailed explanations to the consideration for the participants, I really felt it was worth coming.
I especially appreciate Y, who was in charge.
We had a lot of fun with the many photos, lunch, and guidance!

Next time we come to Iriomote Island, we definitely look forward to it!

今回は、8月22日に夫婦2人で、モンスーンさんにお世話になりました！
とても優しくて、丁寧な説明から、
参加者のことを考えてくれた配慮など、来てよかったとすごく感じました。
特に担当のYさんには、感謝しています。
たくさんの写真やお昼ご飯、案内まで、
すごく楽しませてもらいました！

次も西表島に来たときは、ぜひよろしくお願いします！

When I was abroad, I often got to see coconut crabs, but I was actually surprised to see such large coconut crabs here as well. It felt just like being overseas... (laughs) Jungle exploration is great, but for me, the starry sky was truly moving. The guide was someone who understood how to enjoy the experience from the customer's perspective, going beyond just being a regular guide. They not only showed us how to look at the sky but also taught us about the positions of the constellations and even how to take photos of the starry sky with an iPhone. I was impressed by their high level of hospitality. Thank you for everything!

海外にいた頃はよくヤシガニ観れてましたが、ここでも大きなヤシガニを見ることが出来、実は驚いてました。まるで、海外みたいだなと…（笑）ジャングル探検も良いですが、私には満点の星空がとても感動的でした。普通のガイドさん以上に、顧客目線での楽しみ方を心得てる方がガイドさんでしたので、単に空を眺めることだけではなく、星座の位置や、iPhone でも星空の撮影方法まで教えてくださり、ホスピタリティ度が高いなと感心です。色々ありがとうございました！

The water surface was calm, making it easy for beginners to get on the canoe quickly. The guide's explanations about the mangroves and the island's creatures were clear and kept us engaged. Swimming in the waterfall pool was also refreshing. The Yaeyama soba we had at the café run by the guide after the tour was delicious.

水面が穏やかでカヌーは初心者でもすぐに乗れるようになりました。
マングローブや島の生き物などのガイドさんの解説も分かりやすく飽きることはありませんでした。
滝つぼでの水泳も気持ちよかったです。
ツアー後にガイドさんの経営しているカフェで食べた八重山そばも美味しかったです。

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。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island. I took the designated ferry at the specified time for the outbound trip and returned on the last ferry at 17:30. The 16:30 ferry would also work, but it might be a bit rushed, so I would recommend the 17:30 one.

The tour itself was amazing!! There were even small children (around 5 years old) participating.

石垣島からの日帰りにて参加
行きは指定の時間のフェリーに乗り
帰りは17:30の最終便に乗りました
16:30の便でも間に合いますがちょっとバタバタするので17:30のがオススメかもしれないです。

ツアー自体は最高でした！！
小さいお子さん(5歳ぐらいの)も参加してました。

First of all, the male guide was very enjoyable, and I was glad that he provided a thorough guide even during the busy tourist season.

The first half, canoeing and trekking to Pinai Sara Falls, was initially challenging with the canoeing, but as I got used to it, it became fun and I wanted to paddle more. The Pinai Sara Falls were surprisingly impressive, and the rice balls we ate under the falls were delicious. Thanks to the guide, my wife, who is not very athletic, was also able to enjoy it. Since there were small children participating as well, I think anyone without physical limitations can have a good time. (For the canoeing in the first half, it's better to have one strong person paddling for two.)

The second half at Yubu Island was a lovely place, and I wished we could have spent more time there, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit (I understand the time constraints).

Thank you!

まず、ガイドの男性の方が非常に楽しい方で、観光客で忙しい時期にも関わらず、しっかりとガイドしてくれてうれしかったです。

前半のカヌー→ピナイサーラの滝までのトレッキングは、最初はカヌーの操作に苦戦しましたが、だんだん慣れてくると楽しくてもっと乗っていたかったです。ピナイサーラの滝も思いのほか迫力があって、滝の下で食べるおにぎりも美味しかったです。ガイドさんのおかげで運動が得意ではない妻も楽しむことができました。体力的にも小さいお子さんも参加されていたので、なにか身体的な障害がない限りは楽しめるのではないかと思います。
（前半のカヌーは体力ある人が1人ついて2人乗りで漕いだほうがいいです）

後半の由布島も素敵な島で、もっとゆっくりできればよかったなと思いましたが、それでもかなり楽しめました（時間的には仕方ないと思います）

ありがとうございました！

Before going, I had some concerns about the service, but the guide who accompanied us on the day was a fun person, so it was great. Everything was fulfilling and we had a lot of fun!! I want to go to Iriomote Island again.

行く前は対応に少し不安はありましたが、
当日自分たちについてくれたガイドさんが楽しい方だったので良かったです。
全部充実しててとても楽しかったです！！
また西表島にもいきたいです。

Kayaking was relaxing and enjoyable even for beginners. The walk to the waterfall included explanations about various plants and creatures, allowing us to fully appreciate the island's nature. I don't think I could have gotten so close to the waterfall or had the experience of swimming in the plunge pool anywhere else, so I'm glad I participated. We walked quite a bit, so I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to handle the cave exploration afterward, but it turned out to be incredibly fun. The cave isn't very long, but the narrowness, darkness, and the stunning views once we emerged were all condensed into a short time, making it an amazing experience. It was suitable even for a third-grade girl, so I highly recommend trying this extraordinary experience. Wearing a rash guard to cover your feet can help protect against injuries, making it easier to walk.

カヤックはのんびりと初心者でも楽しめました。
滝までの道のりも色々な植物や生物などの説明を挟みつつ歩いてくれたので島の自然を思い切り堪能できたと思います。あんなに滝の近くまでいき、また滝つぼで泳ぐ体験はできないと思いますので参加してよかったです。結構歩いたのでこの後に洞窟探検は正直もう無理と思っていたのですが、行ってみるとこれもまたすごく楽しく洞窟はそんなに長くないのですが狭さや暗さ抜けたところの景色の素晴らしさなど短い時間に凝縮されていて最高にいい体験ができました。
小学3年の女の子でも十分に行けるものでしたので非日常的な体験、ぜひしてみてください。
足を覆うラッシュガードがあると傷から守れるので歩きやすいかとおもいます。

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！

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。
ありがとうございました☆

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！

ありがとうございます！

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！

I was able to see a lot of coconut crabs and the starry sky was absolutely stunning! Teru's guiding was lively and very enjoyable!

ヤシガニも沢山見れ、満点の星空も見ることができて最高でした！！
テルさんのガイドも軽快で非常に楽しかったです！！

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。

This time, I asked Monsoon again. The female guide was perfect in every way. Her knowledge of plants and animals was wonderful.

I remember being in the mangroves in the morning. Even when there were troubles along the way, she responded flexibly.

Also, during the final transfer, there was an endangered turtle lying on the road, and she rescued it and showed it to me for a moment. It was a valuable experience. I already love Iriomote Island. Thank you again.

今回もモンスーンさんに
お願いしました。
女性のガイドさんがもう全てにおいて
完璧でございました。
植物や動物の知識は素晴らしかったです。

朝のマングローブの中に入れたのが
思い出に残っています。
途中でトラブルがあっても
臨機応変に対応して頂きました。

また、最後の送迎の時に
絶滅危惧種のカメちゃんが
道に横たわっていて
救助して私に少しだけみせて頂きました。
貴重な体験でした。
もう西表島大好きです。
またよろしくお願いします。
