All Reviews for Okinawa Hiking and Trekking

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

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。

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!

石垣島旅行の3日目に参加しました。
当日は上原港行きの船が終日欠航だったため、大原港からバスで上原港のシャトルバスお迎え場所まで行きました。
（前日のお電話で教えて頂けました！）

午前中、マングローブカヌーが混み合うとのことで先に鍾乳洞探検を案内していただきました！
暗いところがありますが、事前にライトを貸していただけます。
初めての鍾乳洞でしたが、いろんな植物や生き物がいて楽しかったです！

鍾乳洞から戻り、ランチタイム♪
大好きなご飯セットで大満足です！
ボリューム満点！！

午後はピナイサーラの滝まで、マングローブカヌー&トレッキング。
カヌー初心者でも、漕ぎ方を分かりやすく教えていただけて、とても楽しめました✨
カヌー渋滞を外していただけたので、全く混んでおらず、貸し切り感が味わえました！

お手洗いはカヌー&トレッキング中は行かなかったので、ランチ後に済ませておくのが必須です！

ツアー終了後、着替える時間があり、準備完了したらシャトルバスで大原港行きのバス乗り場まで送っていただけます。
帰りのフェリーまでの時間も余裕がありました。

8:00石垣島発のフェリー、18:00過ぎごろ石垣島着だったので、丸一日のツアーでした！！

ツアー中に撮っていただいたお写真は、LINEからgetできます♪

今回こちらのツアーを申し込んで、貴重な良い体験が出来ました✨
とても楽しかったです！！
また西表島に行く時は、サンセットツアーやホタルを見るツアーに参加したいと思います♪
ありがとうございました

I participated from Ishigaki Island.

Due to the cancellation at Uehara Port, we had to go via Ohara, which made the schedule tight, but the guide was very attentive and provided a thorough explanation.

The canoeing was pleasant with the breeze from Iriomote Island, and the trekking distance was just right. Along the way, the guide explained about the plants and took photos for us. The lunch we had in front of the waterfall was fantastic!

On Yubu Island, we got to meet cute water buffaloes, and the kind locals welcomed us warmly.

During the journey, we heard various stories about the island, and the guide was wonderful.

I would like to join another tour when I visit the island again.

石垣島から参加しました。

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。

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。

We participated as a family of five.
The tour started with easy-to-understand canoe instructions from our guide.
It was drizzling at the beginning of the tour, but the moist scenery was beautiful.
We were able to fully engage in both canoeing and trekking, and as we got used to it, we wanted to continue even longer.
The guide's explanations about the plants and geography of Iriomote Island made the tour even more interesting.
The afternoon cave exploration surprised the whole family! We ventured down paths without trails, truly an adventure.
Physically, we had no issues and were able to play hard all day.
We want to go again, thank you!

夫婦+子供3人で参加。
ガイドさんによるわかりやすいカヌー指導で開始。
ツアー開始時は雨混じりでしたが、しっとりした景色も綺麗。
カヌーもトレッキングもじっくりと取り組めたので、慣れてくるともっと続けたくなりました。
ガイドさんからの西表島の植物や地理など解説が、更にツアーを面白くしてくれました。
午後の鍾乳洞探検は家族全員驚き！道なき道を行く、正に探検。
体力的にも問題なく、１日思い切り遊べました。
また行きたいです、ありがとうございました！

It was disappointing that we couldn't go snorkeling at Balas Island due to the rain and wind from the previous day, but I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to the flexible changes made to the itinerary! Our guide, Mr. Yabuue, had a bright and fun atmosphere, and it was a lot of fun walking together. I definitely want to visit Balas Island next time!

前日の雨と風の影響でバラス島シュノーケリングが出来なかったのが残念でしたが、柔軟にツアー内容を変更してくださり、楽しむことができました！
ガイドの藪上さんは明るく楽しい雰囲気で、一緒に歩いていてとても楽しかったです。
次こそバラス島にも行きたいです！

My first time on Iriomote Island, I had a lot of things I wanted to try, so I chose a packed itinerary with mangrove canoeing, trekking to Pinai Sara Falls, and cave exploration. It was my first time canoeing, but following the guide's advice made it easy. As we paddled down the empty river, we saw mangrove forests on both sides, and a relaxed atmosphere enveloped us. After the canoeing, we set off on a trek towards Pinai Sara Falls. There were steep paths, but the guide stopped at intervals to explain the trees in the forest, making the walk enjoyable. It seems you can even enter the waterfall pool, but we were completely satisfied just seeing it. In the afternoon, we explored the caves, and as we slowly moved through surprisingly narrow spaces, we were greeted by various shapes of stalactites inside. My husband was completely captivated by the caves and expressed a desire to visit more of them (laughs). I found the canoeing to be more pleasant than I had imagined, so I would love to experience it again next time. Thank you for a wonderful time.

初めての西表島、やってみたいことがいろいろあってマングローブカヌー、ピナイサーラの滝トレッキング、洞窟探検という欲張りコースにしました。カヌーは初めてでしたがガイドさんのアドバイスどおりに漕ぐとスイスイと。誰もいない川をカヌーで進んでいくと左右にマングローブの森が見えゆったりとした時間が流れます。カヌーを降りて今度はピナイサーラの滝を目指してトレッキング。急な道もありますが、ガイドさんが適度に止まって森の樹木などの説明をしてくれるので、楽しんで歩く事ができました。滝つぼに入ることも出来るようですが、私たちは見るだけで大満足でした。午後からは洞窟探検、びっくりするような狭い場所からソロソロ進むと中は鍾乳石がいろいろな形を見せてくれます。主人はすっかり鍾乳洞に見せられて、あちこちの鍾乳洞巡りをしたいと言いだしました(笑)私はカヌーが想像以上に気持ち良かったので、次回もカヌー体験したいです。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

Canoeing was my first experience, and it was so much fun that I think I'm hooked. The waterfall was very refreshing; even though it was January, it was warm, and there were people swimming in the pool beneath the falls. One person dropped their smartphone into the pool, but the instructor was able to retrieve it. Since it was waterproof, it wasn't damaged and was safe. The lunch was also very filling. Riding in a cow cart was a first for me as well, and I really enjoyed it; I'm glad I went. Next, I want to visit the Phantom Island.

カヌーは初めてでしたがとても楽しくてハマりそうです。
滝もとても気持ちよく1月でしたが暖かくて滝つぼに入っている方もいましたよ
1人の方が
スマホを滝つぼに落とされたんですが
インストラクターの方が拾ってくれました。
防水加工がしてあったので壊れずに
無事でした。
お弁当もお腹いっぱいになりました。
牛車も初体験でしたが、とても楽しくて行ってよかったなあと思います。
次は幻の島に行ってみたいです。

It was held in pouring rain.
From the middle, it felt more like an exploration than sightseeing.
I was wearing the special shoes I borrowed, but I got stuck in the mud and fell a few times.
I think it might be a bit tough for older people.
However, the tour guide was kind, polite, and left a good impression.
I strongly wished to go on a sunny day.

土砂降りの雨の中での開催でした。
途中から観光というよりかは探検って感じでした。
お借りした専用シューズを履いておりましたが、泥に足を取られて何回かコケました。
お年を召した方はちょっと厳しいかなと思います。
でもツアーのガイドさんは優しく、丁寧で好感がもてました。
晴れた日に行きたいと強く思いました。

It was my first time canoeing, but with the thorough explanations and guidance, even in a situation where I didn't know where I was going, I had a fun and great experience. The waterfalls and caves were wonderful, and the explanations along the way were clear, allowing me to truly connect with the nature of Iriomote Island. I also appreciated the various considerations that made me feel at ease participating. They took photos for me and sent them right away, which became a lovely keepsake. Thank you very much.

カヌーは初めてでしたが丁寧な説明と、漕いでもどこへ行くかわからない状況でしたがきちんとアドバイスをいただけ、楽しく良い経験ができました。滝も洞窟も素晴らしく道中の説明もよくわかり西表島の自然に触れられた感じです。もいろいろお気遣いもいただき安心して参加できました。写真も写していただいたりすぐ送っていただきよい記念になりました。ありがとうございました。

When I arrived at Uehara Port by ferry, the person who was supposed to pick me up was not there. After searching for about five laps, I confirmed by phone and was told, "I'll be there soon." I was taken aback, thinking, "Wait, they haven't arrived yet??"

First, I went to the shop to drop off my luggage and borrowed shoes that could get wet before heading to the cave. The entrance was extremely narrow, and there was water pooling at my feet, making it quite a struggle to crawl through. However, after that, I was surrounded by untouched nature! The limestone cave had several breaks where we walked outside in the sunlight and then back inside the cave. The guide occasionally provided explanations and took photos, and as we walked, they spoke to each of us, which gradually made the atmosphere more relaxed.

After about an hour of exploration, we returned to the shop for lunch with rice balls. After a break, we moved on to canoeing. Unfortunately, all the single-person canoes were already taken, so we headed to the waterfall in a two-person canoe. At first, we were unsteady, going this way and that. After getting off the canoe, we climbed for about 30 minutes to reach the waterfall basin. There, we were treated to brown sugar tea. After that, we retraced our steps down the mountain and paddled back in the canoe. By the return trip, I had gotten quite used to canoeing and was able to go mostly straight.

Throughout the morning and afternoon, my legs got quite wet. If you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes.

フェリーで上原港に着いたとき、迎えに来てくれるはずの人が来ておらず、5周くらい探し回った後で電話で確認すると、「すぐ行きます」とのこと。え～、まだ来てなかったの？？ということでいきなり出鼻をくじかれました（泣）

まずショップへ行って荷物を置き、濡れてもいい靴を借りていざ洞窟へ。入口が極端に狭く足元は水が溜まっているので、中腰でくぐり抜けるのにひと苦労。しかし、その後は手つかずの自然が！鍾乳洞は何度か途切れ、日差しのある外を歩いたり、また洞窟内に入ったりの繰り返しでした。ガイドさんがちょこちょこ説明を挟みつつ写真を撮ってくれ、歩きながら個々に話しかけてくれるので、だんだん和んできます。

1時間ほどの探索が終わると一旦ショップへ戻り、おにぎりでランチ。休憩を挟んだあと、お次はカヌーへ。たまたま一人乗りのカヌーが先客で全て使われてしまっていたため、二人乗りカヌーで滝へ向かいました。最初は慣れずにあっちへ行ったりこっちへ行ったり。カヌーを降りると30分くらいかけて滝つぼへ登ります。こちらでは黒糖紅茶をふるまっていただきました。その後は同じルートをたどって下山し、カヌーを漕いで戻りました。帰路のカヌーは大分慣れて、おおむね真っすぐ進むことができました。

午前・午後通して脚がけっこう濡れます。気になる人は着替えを持参した方がいいかも。

- I participated on New Year's Day. Since we were a small team of 2 people in 3 groups, they provided solid support for those who were not good at canoeing. I heard that canoeing can get crowded during the summer vacation season, but this time we were able to paddle while enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace.
- I was worried that the canoeing time might be insufficient, but combined with trekking, the time allocation was just right in terms of physical exertion.
- The trekking was somewhat tough, so those who don't exercise regularly might experience muscle soreness. However, participants around 65 years old were progressing quite well...
- The explanations about the flora and fauna along the way were interesting (fish, ducks, snipes, mudskippers, fiddler crabs, mangroves, etc.).
- We were able to explore Yufu Island in about an hour, and I caught a glimpse of a white-browed crake in the botanical garden corner.

・元日の参加でした。2人×3組の少人数チームだったので、カヌーが苦手な人にもしっかりサポートしてくれました。夏休みシーズンはカヌー渋滞するらしいですが、今回はゆっくり景色を楽しみながらカヌーをこげました。
・カヌーの時間が物足りないかな？と心配してましたが、トレッキングと合わせても体力的にはちょうど良い時間配分でした。
・トレッキングはまあまあきついので普段運動しない人は筋肉痛になります。65歳くらいの参加者はぐんぐん進んでましたが…
・道中の動植物解説が面白いです（魚、カモ、シギ、トビハゼ、シオマネキ、マングローブ等）
・由布島は1時間ほどでちょうどよく回れました。植物園コーナーで一瞬シロハラクイナを見ました。

I applied to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island, which is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. I had planned to go up to the top of the Pinaisara Falls, but the weather was not very good during this time, so after arriving at the tour company on the day of the tour, I changed my participation to a half-day itinerary that only went to the base of the falls.

We rode kayaks and moved close to the falls while observing the mangroves. There are seven types of mangroves that can be seen in Japan, and I enjoyed paddling up the river while learning that all of them can be found on Iriomote Island. After getting off the kayak, we went trekking for about 30 to 40 minutes. Our guide introduced us to various subtropical plants as we made our way to the foot of the falls. I was moved by the power of the falls when we arrived. Iriomote Island is the only place in Japan where you can see such great nature. I really wanted to climb to the top of the falls to see the full view of the mangroves, but, well, I guess it can't be helped this time.

I suppose you can't take beautiful photos unless it's summer. It only drizzled a little, so the rain wasn't a big deal, but it was a windy day. Still, I'm glad I went to see the wonderful scenery.

世界自然遺産に登録された西表島の大自然を満喫したくて申込みました。ピナイサーラの滝の上まで行こうと思っていましたが、この時期大変お天気がよくなくて、当日催行会社に着いてから1日ツアーを滝の下までにする半日行程に変えて参加しました。
カヤックに乗りマングローブを観ながら滝の近くまで移動。日本で観られるマングローブは７種類あり、西表島ではその全てが観られる事など、楽しく川を登って行きました。カヤックを降りてからはトレッキング。30〜40分位でしょうか。色々な亜熱帯植物をガイドしてもらいながら滝の麓まで。着いた時にはその迫力に感動しました。日本でこのような大自然を観られるのは西表島だけでしょう。本当は滝の上まで登ってマングローブの全景を観たかったのですが、う〜ん、今回は仕方ないかな。
やっぱり夏場でないと綺麗な写真は撮れないかな。雨は小雨が少し降ったけで大した事なかったんだけど、風か強い1日でした。ただ素晴らしい景色に行って良かったと思います。

It was my first time canoeing, and quietly paddling through the mangroves was amazing! I was busy taking photos and paddling by myself, but the guide provided great support, allowing me to enjoy the experience.

The trekking was steeper than I expected, but the sense of accomplishment when I reached the top was significant. I also took the plunge into the waterfall, and I was very satisfied with that.

For lunch, we had rice balls, fried chicken, and boiled eggs, which were delicious. In the afternoon, we toured Yubu Island. I rode a water buffalo and explored the subtropical botanical garden on my own.

The butterfly garden, water buffalo pond, mangrove walkway, and Manta Beach were all places where I wished I could relax forever. The Yubu Island teahouse near Manta Beach had the best awamori gelato! I want to go back to Yubu Island just to eat that.

I enjoyed interacting with the water buffalo and watching them return to their barn from the pond. Most importantly, I was impressed by how much the caretakers loved and took care of the water buffalo. The guides were all very kind, and I was able to hear many interesting stories, making it a thoroughly satisfying tour!

初カヌーでしたが、マングローブの中、静かに進むカヌーは、最高でした！
1人で、写真を撮ったり、漕いだり、忙しかったけど、ガイドの方が、しっかりとフォローしてくださったので、楽しむことができました。
トレッキングは、思ったより急な山道でしたが、その分ついた時は感動も大きかったです。
思い切って、滝壺ダイブもやって、大満足でした。
お昼のお弁当はおにぎりと唐揚げ、ゆで卵、美味しかったです。
午後は、由布島観光。
水牛に乗って、亜熱帯植物園となっている島をひとりでまわりました。
素晴らしい蝶々園、水牛の池、マングローブの遊歩道、マンタの浜、どこも、いつまでものんびりと過ごしていたい場所でした。
特にマンタの浜近くにあった由布島茶屋は、泡盛ジェラート最高でした！これを食べにまた由布島行きたいくらい。
水牛に触らせてもらったり、池から水牛舎に戻った水牛たちを見せてもらったり、楽しかったです。
何より、水牛たちをお世話している方たちが、水牛の事を、ものすごく可愛がって、大事にしている様子に感心しました。
ガイドしてくださった方々、みなさんとても親切で、いろんな話を聞けて、大満足のツアーでした！

I met a guide with extensive knowledge and great attention to detail, making it a tour where I could see, learn, touch, and be moved. The warm rice balls we ate by the waterfall were the best treat. The cave, free of artificial structures, was full of a real adventure feel.

豊富な知識、気配りの出来るガイドさんに出会い、見て、学んで、触れて、感動したツアーになりました。
滝壺で食べた温かいおにぎりは最高のご馳走でした。
人工物の無い洞窟は、リアルアドベンチャー感満載でした。

The weather forecast wasn't great, so I chose this plan. From the moment of pickup, the service was excellent, and the conversation flowed, making me excited even before we arrived at the location. We did canoeing and trekking to the waterfall in the morning, and although we had planned to eat rice balls at the waterfall, due to the rain, our guide quickly adapted and arranged for us to have our meal back at the shop. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a warm meal and take a break indoors while sipping tea.

In the afternoon, we explored a limestone cave. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wait!? We're entering from here?" because it felt like a hidden gem (laughs). However, after going inside for a while, I was overwhelmed by the incredibly spacious area that opened up. It's a secret, but I also learned about stones that glow under black light.

The guide was wonderfully adaptable, knowledgeable, and a great learner. I'm cheering for you!

天気予報が良くなかったので、こちらのプランを選びました。
送迎の時からとても対応が良くて、話が弾み、現地に着く前からワクワクすることができました。
カヌー、滝へのトレッキングは午前中に行い、滝でおにぎりの予定でしたが雨天だったためガイドさんが機転を利かせて、お店に戻ってからの食事にしてくれました。おかげで暖かいお茶を飲みながら屋内でゆっくり食事や休憩を取ることができました。
午後からは鍾乳洞探検です。
エッ！？こんな処から入るの？と思わず声が出てしまったほど、秘境でした（笑）でも中に入ってしばらく行くと、パーッと開けて信じられないほど広い空間に圧倒されました。秘密ですが、ブラックライトを当てると光る石なども教えてもらえました。
臨機応変な対応が素晴らしくとても勉強家で博識なガイドさんでした。応援してます！

The canoeing was just as I imagined, very relaxing and enjoyable. The trekking to the waterfall was very well done, with an easy and fun course. Even though it was early November, we were able to play in the waterfall pool. The guide's explanations were detailed and enjoyable as well. And!! The cave was amazing!!

It was said to be a beginner course, but we were able to experience crawling through narrow spaces, being in complete darkness, and exploring the cave without any handrails. It was an adventure that we couldn't have done without the guide. Thank you very much!!

カヌーは想像通り、とても癒されてたのしかったのですが、滝へのトレッキングが、とてもよくできていると言うか、登りやすく楽しいコースで、11月頭でしたけれど、滝壺で遊ぶこともできました。ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて楽しかったです。そして！！洞窟が素晴らしかった！！
初心者コースだそうなのですが、狭い間を潜りぬけたり、真っ暗を体験したり、手すりなどなく、ガイドさんがいなければ体験できない洞窟探検ができました。ありがとうございました！！

The tour was perfectly balanced in terms of time and distance for both canoeing and trekking, without being overly tiring. During the tour, the weather changed rapidly between cloudy, sunny, and rainy, and with temperatures around 25-26℃, I was able to enjoy the coolness of the waterfall while fully experiencing the subtropical nature. The explanations about the plants and insects were very clear, and the guidance on precautions and avoidance behaviors was excellent. Our guide was charming and strong.

I participated alone, but the guide helped me connect smoothly with the other members of the group, and the homemade lunch was simple yet delicious. Personally, I have relatively good stamina, so I felt I could have handled more aggressive activities, but I believe it’s a great tour that many people would find satisfying! I highly recommend it.

カヌーもトレッキングも、疲れ過ぎないちょうど良い時間と距離の配分のツアーでした。
ツアー中は曇り・晴れ・雨と目まぐるしく天候が変わり、気温は25〜26℃あったので滝壺の冷たさも味わえ、亜熱帯気候の大自然を満喫できました。
植物や昆虫たちのご説明もとても分かりやすく、注意事項や忌避行動の解説も絶妙。可愛らしく逞しい、素敵なガイドさんでした。
一人で参加しましたが、ご一緒した他のメンバーの方ともスムーズに打ち解けられるようお声がけくださり、手作りのお弁当も素朴でおいしかったです。
私個人が比較的体力があるタイプで、もっとアグレッシブなアクティビティでもよかったかな？と感じましたが、多くの方が満足できるとても良いツアーだと思います！おすすめです。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time on my honeymoon. We were able to kayak for about an hour together, and it was a fulfilling experience. We also got close to the Pinaisara Falls and enjoyed the great outdoors! We took a lot of photos, making it a memorable tour!

ハネムーンで西表島に初めて来ました。
カヤックは2人で1時間ほど漕ぐことができ、充実した時間でした。
ピナイサーラの滝も近くまで行くことができ、大自然を満喫出来ました！
写真も沢山撮っていただき、思い出に残るツアーでした！！

I wanted to go, so I made a reservation the evening before. Most tours confirm via text message or phone call, so I thought it would be the same this time, but I didn't receive any contact, which made me worried. When I checked my email for confirmation, I saw a message saying to contact them within an hour of the reservation confirmation. If I didn't, it would be a paid cancellation. I tried to reach out immediately after seeing the email, but I couldn't get through. When I finally did get in touch, I was yelled at in a very angry voice. I was able to participate in the tour, but it felt like I was being scolded throughout, and I couldn't enjoy it. It was the worst tour.

行きたいと思って、急遽前日の夕方に予約しました。ほとんどのツアーは、わかりやすくショートメールや電話を頂いての確認だったので、今回もそうだと思ってましたが、連絡がなく心配となり、予約の確認のためメールをチェックをしたところ、予約確定後から1時間も無い間の内に連絡をくださいと。連絡がなければ、有料キャンセルとなるとのメッセージ。メールを見てすぐ連絡しても連絡付かず。やっと連絡がついたと思ったら、すごい剣幕の声で怒られる。とりあえず、ツアーに参加出来ましたが、ツアー中も怒られている感じで、楽しめなかったです。最悪なツアーでした

I was able to fully enjoy Iriomote Island with a tour packed with activities like kayaking, trekking, and exploring limestone caves. They provide shoes that are okay to get wet. Since trekking and the caves can be slippery and there are many plants, I think wearing clothes that cover both hands and feet is essential.

The waterfall was a bit chilly for swimming, so I didn't go in directly, but the water volume was impressive and very powerful. Along the way, I learned a lot about the plants, which was really interesting.

I participated from Iriomote Island, but if you're coming from Ishigaki Island, it might be a bit challenging to join as a day trip if the ferry to Uehara Port is not running (it takes about an hour by bus from Ohara Port to Uehara Port).

I think this tour is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy nature in a single day.

カヤック→トレッキング→鍾乳洞探検とたくさん要素がつまったツアーで、西表島を満喫できました。
靴は濡れても大丈夫なものを貸して頂けます。トレッキングや鍾乳洞は、滑りやすいところも多く、植物も多いので、両手両足が覆われた服は必須かなと思いました。
滝は泳ぐのには肌寒かったので、直接入ってはいないですが、水量も多くとても迫力がありました。道中も植物に関して色々教えて頂けて、とても面白かったです。
私は西表島から参加しましたが、石垣島からの場合、上原港行のフェリーが止まってしまうと、当日日帰りの参加はちょっと大変かもしれないと思いました（大原港→上原港までバスで1時間かかるので）。
1日で自然を満喫したい方にはおすすめのツアーかと思います。

I made a reservation for this tour because there was a campaign on Veltra. It was my first time in Iriomote Island, and I wanted to experience something unique to the island. The guide was friendly and taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, which was very informative. During the tour, we discovered interesting crabs and an incredibly large clam, so we had fun beyond just trekking and canoeing. Both canoeing and trekking were harder than I expected, but it was manageable (laughs). The waterfall was said to have a height of 55 meters, but it seemed even taller when viewed up close. It was overwhelming to see it so closely, as you don't often get that opportunity. I went in mid-October, so the water was cold and I couldn't swim, but others were swimming quite a bit. Since it was a half-day tour, we could make effective use of our time, and I highly recommend it. If you're considering it, definitely go for it!

veltraでキャンペーン中だったのでこちらを予約しました。初めての西表島で、西表島っぽいことをしたいと参加しました。ガイドさんは気さくで西表島のことを色々教えてくださり、勉強になりました。ツアー中、面白い蟹やものすごく大きいしじみを発見したりとトレッキングやカヌー以外でも楽しめました。カヌーもトレッキングも思ったよりハードですが、なんとかなります（笑）肝心の滝は落差55ｍとのことでしたが近くでみるともっとあるように思えます。あそこまで間近に見ることがないので圧倒されました。10月中旬にいったので水が冷たく私は泳げなかったですが、他の方は結構泳いでいました。半日のツアーなので時間も有効に使えますし、おすすめです。検討しているかたは是非！

I participated in a one-day tour to climb to the top of Pinai Sara Falls. The weather was great, and the view from the top was amazing. I think it's a rare opportunity to see the waterfall basin from above, so I recommend it if you're not afraid of heights. The guide was friendly, easy to understand, and fun. I would like to join other tours if I have the chance.

ピナイサーラの滝上まで登る1日ツアーに参加しました。
天気にも恵まれ滝上からの景色は最高でした。
滝上から滝壺を見る機会はなかなかないと思いますので高所恐怖症でなければオススメです。
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくて親切で楽しい方でした。
機会があれば他のツアーも参加したいと思いました。

I signed up for a half-day tour because I wanted to explore all of Iriomote by rental car as well. From 10 AM to 1 PM, I was able to enjoy everything without wasting any time—canoeing, trekking, and the Pinaisara Falls! The guide was very clear, and I learned a lot about Iriomote's unique ecosystem, making it a very meaningful experience! The crabs were also so cute! Since the half-day provided just the right amount of exercise, I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Iriomote until the last ferry, making it the best day ever. They also sent me a lot of photos that same day!

ツアーだけでなく、レンタカーで西表全体を周りたいと考えていた為、半日ツアーを申し込みました！
10時から13時まで無駄な時間なく、カヌー、トレッキング、ピナイサーラの滝、全部楽しむことができました！！ガイドがとてもわかりやすく、西表の独自の生態系を学ぶことができとても有意義な時間でした！カニさんもかわいかったです〜〜**半日でちょうど良い運動量だった為、フェリー最終便まで西表観光も楽しむことができ最高の1日となりました。その日のうちに沢山の写真も送ってくださいました！

The weather was unfortunately cloudy. The forecast predicted rain, but it didn't rain during the tour! There were only two participants, just the two of us. It was my first time paddling a canoe, but I was able to enjoy it. The guide shared the history of the mangroves and talked about the plants, and I was continuously surprised by all the new things I learned! I usually go hiking in the mountains, but trekking on Iriomote Island was exceptionally fun. There were so many plants I had never seen before, and I was able to climb without any difficulty! The Pinaisara Falls were breathtaking and absolutely stunning! I was really glad I came! After the half-day tour, we went to Hoshizuna Beach in the afternoon. Thank you for the wonderful tour!

天気は生憎の曇り。予報では雨になってましたがツアー中は降らずに済みました♪参加者は私たち2人のみ。カヌーを漕ぐのは初めてでしたが楽しく漕ぐことができました。マングローブの歴史、植物のお話をしてくださり、初めて知ることばかりで驚きの連続でした！普段山登りによく出かけますが、西表島でのトレッキングは格別に楽しい。本当で見たことのない植物がたくさんで苦なく登れました！ピナイサーラの滝は迫力満点で絶景！きてよかったなーと、思いました♪半日ツアーで午後からは星砂の浜へ。楽しいツアーをありがとうございました♪

I had some anxiety about my first solo trip, but it was an activity I could participate in with peace of mind! The mangrove canoeing was great with nice weather, and I got to experience the nature of Iriomote Island. I also had my first experience diving into the waterfall at Pinai Salo! In the limestone cave, I was guided accurately in complete darkness, allowing for a safe exploration. Everything was so much fun. Thank you very much! ^ ^

The breathtaking views from above the waterfall and from the base, playing in the water at the top and the bottom of the waterfall, mangrove canoeing, and trekking through the jungle of Iriomote.

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy Iriomote.

The guide shared various stories about plants, insects, and local life along the way, making the journey enjoyable!
