I participated because I was interested in the canoe experience and Pinai Sara Falls. Once I got used to it, the scenery was beautiful with mangrove forests lining both sides of the river. The view from the top of the falls was great, and jumping into the plunge pool felt refreshing, helping to relieve the fatigue from trekking.
カヌー体験とピナイサーラ滝に興味があって参加しました。カヌーは、慣れてくると、川の両岸にマングローブの森があって、景色がよかったです。滝の上からの見晴らしがよく、滝つぼに飛び込むと、トレッキングの疲れや体を冷やすことができて気持ち良かったです。

The guide was kind and gentle, providing a thorough tour that allowed us to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Throughout the canoeing and trekking, the guide offered detailed explanations of the flora and fauna, making it easy to understand. It was my first tour on Iriomote Island, but I felt safe and comfortable participating until the end. I highly recommend this tour for anyone considering canoeing or trekking on Iriomote Island.
ガイドさんが親切で優しく、私たちが最大限に楽しめるよういたせりつくせりのツアーです。
カヌー中もトレッキング中もこまめなガイドや動植物の説明が分かりやすく初めての西表島でのツアーでしたが安心して最後まで参加することができました。

It was a highly satisfying plan that allowed us to enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island while having fun. Our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, provided thorough and precise instructions, making it easy to learn how to paddle the canoe without any struggle. He also explained the types of mangroves, how the leaves grow, and the vegetation in a clear manner, which was educational and satisfied my intellectual curiosity. He took various photos during the tour and sent the data afterward, making it easy to keep as memories, which was very nice. The plan included canoeing, trekking, and waterfall play, all well-balanced in quality and quantity, allowing us to experience a pleasant sense of fatigue and refreshment. I would like to bring my parents next time.
西表島の大自然を遊びながら楽しめる大満足なプランでした。ガイドの岩本さんは丁寧かつ的確な指導でわかりやすくカヌーの漕ぎ方を教えてくださったので苦労することなく漕げました。また、マングローブの種類や葉の着き方、植生などもわかりやすく説明していただけて勉強にもなり、知的好奇心を満たすこともできました。写真も色々な場面で撮影してくださり、ツアー後にデータを送ってくださったので思い出として残りやすくとても良かったです。プランはカヌー、トレッキング、滝遊びと質量ともにバランスがとれていて、程良い疲労感と爽快感が味わえました。次回は両親も連れてきたいです。

I chose this tour because I wanted to see the waterfall and experience a sense of adventure. Despite the unfortunate weather, it actually made canoeing easier, and the scenery was wonderful! The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us about various plants and creatures. Even though I've lived a long time, there were many things I didn't know, and I was once again amazed by how plants and animals adapt to their environments. It was so much fun, so I highly recommend it. I would love to participate again.
滝が見たいのと探検気分が味わいたくてこのツアーにしました。あいにくの天気ながら、逆にカヌーも漕ぎやすく景色も素晴らしかったです!

I participated in the tour because I love mangroves and snorkeling, and it became a wonderful memory as I was able to see and experience the rich nature✨ The guide was very considerate, helping me paddle the kayak since I didn't have much stamina, and when I was exhausted during the morning waterfall tour, they let me rest in a hammock at the tour company's accommodation. Thanks to the relaxed plan tailored to my energy level, I had a great time✨ I thought I would also stay at the accommodation next time✨ There were horses and cats, and it was so soothing just to be there✨ The view of the sea was amazing, and I thought it was the best✨
I felt sorry for not being able to eat the lunch that was prepared for us because I had eaten too much for breakfast.
The young guide had a wealth of knowledge about plants and animals, and it was fun to ask questions✨ Since I can't swim at all, I was pulled along while snorkeling and got to see sea turtles and clownfish, which was so healing❤️
I didn't have the chance to take photos underwater, so I was really happy that many pictures were taken of the sea turtles, clownfish, and more✨ I think I'll post them directly on Instagram✨
I would like to participate in Iizuka-san's tour again✨
マングローブとシュノーケルが好きなのでツアーに参加しましたが豊かな自然が見れて体験できていい思い出となりました✨
ガイドさんも気遣いが豊かな方で、体力がないのでカヤックを漕いでいただいたり、午前の滝までのツアーで体力がないのでグッタリしていたらツアー会社の宿のハンモックで休ませていた抱いたり体力に合わせてゆったりとしたプランにしていただいておかげさまで楽しく過ごせました✨
次回は宿もお世話になろうと思いました✨
お馬さんがいたり猫ちゃんがいたりぼぉーっとしてても癒される感じでした✨海が一望できて眺めも最高だなぁと思いました✨
朝ごはんを食べすぎて用意していただいたランチを食べれず申し訳なかったです。
若いガイドさんでしたが、植物や生物の知識が豊富でいろいろ聞けて楽しかったです✨
シュノーケルも全然泳げないので引っ張ってもらって海亀さんやニモにも会えて癒されました❤️

First, we snorkeled in the highly transparent coral sea. The guide found a sea turtle, and we were super excited! We encountered sea turtles a few more times after that. I even got to meet Nemo for the first time in my life!!
When we changed spots, we were able to see various corals and tropical fish! I was very satisfied to see table corals while snorkeling♪
After lunch, we went canoeing and trekking. It was both my husband and my first time canoeing, so we were a bit anxious, but the guide explained everything clearly, and we had a lot of fun paddling! The trekking was quite hard, but it was interesting as we took breaks and learned about the trees and creatures of Iriomote Island!
After the tough trekking, cooling down in the waterfall was the best reward! On the day of the tour, I was worried that the return boat might be canceled due to the typhoon, but the guide regularly checked the operation status, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you so much (о´∀`о)
I had decided to only choose one tour for this trip, so I was really worried about which one to pick. However, I was happy that the owner and the guide considered the participants by choosing swimming spots based on the waves and adjusting the trekking according to our fatigue levels. I feel it was a great company that truly cares about its participants! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!
While looking at the photos you sent, my husband and I often talk about the fun day we had (*´꒳`*) When we go to Ishigaki Island or Iriomote Island again, we will be in your care, so please take care of us then! Thank you for a wonderful day♪
最初に透明度の高い珊瑚の海をシュノーケル。ガイドのお兄さんが海ガメを見つけてくれて大興奮!そのあとにも何回か海ガメと遭遇。人生初のニモにも会えました!!
スポットを変えると、色々な珊瑚と熱帯魚を見ることができました!テーブル珊瑚も見れて大満足なシュノーケル♪
お昼ご飯を食べた後は、カヌーとトレッキング。
カヌーは旦那も私もはじめてだったので不安がありましたが、ガイドのお兄さんが分かりやすく教えてくれて楽しく漕げました♪トレッキングはかなりハードでしたが、所々で休憩しながら西表島の木々や生き物の事を教えてくれて面白かったです!つらいトレッキングの後にはご褒美の滝壺でクールダウン最高でした!!
ツアー当日は台風の影響で帰りの船が欠航になるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんがマメに運行状況をチェックしてくれて、安心してツアーを楽しめました。ありがとうございます(о´∀`о)
今回の旅行ではツアーは一つだけと決めてたので、ツアー選択は凄く悩んで決めたのですが、オーナーさんとガイドさんとで波を見ながら泳ぐポイントを決めてくれたり、疲れ具合を見てトレッキングしてくれたりと、凄く参加者の事を考えてくれる会社さんだと思い嬉しかったです♪このツアーに決めて大正解です!
送って頂いた写真を見ながら、旦那と楽しかった一日をよく話します(*´꒳`*)

I was completely satisfied with the sense of achievement from activities like canoeing, trekking, waterfall play, and exploring limestone caves! It was my first experience canoeing, but thanks to the thorough instruction, I was able to progress slowly while enjoying the view of the mangroves.
We received a lot of information about plants and creatures as we headed towards the waterfall, and the refreshing feeling when I dove into the waterfall was unforgettable!
Exploring the limestone cave was an incredible adventure, and I truly felt the greatness of nature that took thousands of years to form! I'm glad I participated and was able to experience the natural beauty of Iriomote Island.
カヌーやトレッキング、滝遊び、鍾乳洞の洞窟探検などなど達成感満載で大満足です!
カヌー初体験でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしてもらえたおかげでマングローブなどを眺めながらゆっくり進むことができました。
植物や生物などもたくさんレクチャーしてもらいながら滝を目指し、滝にダイブした時のひんやりさはたまりませんでした!

Thanks to scheduling a bit earlier, we were able to avoid the crowds! The canoeing was intense on the sun exposure... The mountain climbing afterward required some stamina, but it wasn't overwhelmingly tiring! The waterfall was amazing, and they even took pictures of us jumping in♪ The handmade rice balls we received afterward were delicious!!!! I devoured them!!
Since we had some time before the afternoon snorkeling, we were able to go to a nearby shop to buy ice cream♪ Balas Island is incredibly small, but it's so beautiful! The snorkeling took us to a spot with stunning coral!! There were plenty of fish, and we even saw a sea turtle♪ They took lots of underwater photos too! Since the boat didn't have a roof, sun protection is a must^^;
少し時間を早めてスケジューリングしてくれたおかげで、混雑を避けれました!
カヌーは日焼け強烈です、、、その後の山登りはそれなりに体力いりましたが、めちゃくちゃ疲れるってほどでもないです!
滝は最高だし、飛び込む写真も撮ってくれます♪
その後頂いた手作りのおにぎりが美味しい!!!!ペロリと食べました!!
午後のシュノーケルまで時間があったので、近くの商店でアイスとか買いに行けました♪
バラス島はめちゃくちゃ小さいけど、キレイすぎます!
シュノーケルは最高にサンゴがキレイなところに行けました!!
魚もたくさんいるし、ウミガメも見れました♪
水中写真もたくさん撮ってくれます!

This is definitely a tour I would highly recommend. During snorkeling, I was amazed to see turtles, clownfish, and table corals (the turtles swam quite close to us, not wary of people at all, and were munching on seaweed, which was surprising). My sister, who is in Miyako Island, said that turtles are usually seen from a distance and don’t come that close, quickly swimming away. It might be because the people of Iriomote Island have a close and respectful relationship with the turtles and nature.
Also, my child found the canoeing to be really fun and kept talking about it after we got back. The rice balls we had for lunch in front of the waterfall were incredibly delicious. The wild boar we saw on the way back was also very cute. The wild boar was not at all scared and was munching on things that had fallen on the road, which was surprising. Everyone who participated in the tour with us was wonderful, and the staff from Monsoon were also great, making it a lovely memory.
ぜひオススメしたいツアーです。
シュノーケリングでは、亀やクマノミ、テーブルサンゴを見られて感動しました(亀はかなり近くで泳いでくれていて、人に警戒する事もなく、むしゃむしゃと海藻を食べていてびっくり)宮古島にいる妹が、亀は普通遠くで見つけても、そこまで近くにはこないし、すぐ遠ざかっていくものだと言ってました。
西表島の方々が、亀や自然と、大切に付き合っているからなのかもしれませんね。
また、子供はカヌーがすごく面白かったようで、帰ってからもその話ばかりしていました。
滝の前で食べるおにぎりのお弁当が、すごく美味しかったです。
帰りに見かけたうりぼうも、すごく可愛かったです。
うりぼうも、全然逃げずに道に落ちているものを、ムシャムシャ食べていてびっくり。
一緒にツアーに参加してくださっていた方も、皆さん素敵な方ばかりで、モンスーンの方も皆さん素敵な方で、良い思い出になりました。

We participated in this as a final summer vacation memory with our family: my husband, our daughter (5th grade), and our son (2nd grade). There was another family with us as well. By the end, the kids became good friends and we had an even more enjoyable time!
We traveled from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port on Iriomote Island to join the tour. It was quite windy and there were sudden rain showers in Ishigaki, but it was sunny once we arrived at Iriomote Island. In the morning, we went snorkeling! The sea was so beautiful that I kept swimming and peeking around. I was thrilled to see a sea turtle! Personally, I found the clownfish hiding in the anemone to be the cutest☆
After snorkeling, we moved to the Iriomote Island Monsoon shop by tour vehicle, which was only about a 5-minute drive from the port. We had time for lunch and changing clothes. In the afternoon, we did kayaking and trekking. The guide was cute, knowledgeable, and made the journey fun. She interacted with my son and daughter cheerfully like a friend, which made my son, who usually dislikes walking, enjoy trekking. It was moving when we finally saw the waterfall! We even encountered a habu snake along the way, which was scary but allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of Okinawa. Once we reached the waterfall, we repeatedly jumped in!
The transition from the morning's sea activities to the afternoon trekking was a bit tiring, but this tour allowed us to fully enjoy Iriomote Island in just one day! It was the best! If we have another family trip, I would love to participate again.

It was truly refreshing to slowly enjoy nature while paddling down the river under the bright blue sky, allowing me to forget the daily hustle and bustle.

It was a very hot day, exceeding 33 degrees, but canoeing among the unique plants and trees of Iriomote Island was enjoyable, and the Pisanara Falls exceeded my expectations, feeling like a place that could be anywhere but Japan. The cave was naturally preserved in a good way; it was dark and narrow, but that added to the extraordinary experience! However, it seemed there wasn't a spot with light shining through like in the tour photos.
The trekking to the falls takes about 30 minutes and is quite hard. To prevent sunburn and to touch the plants, I recommend wearing long-sleeved leggings even in summer.
This tour is highly recommended for those who love caves and limestone caves. The tour guide was a very young woman, but she was dedicated and left a good impression. It seems that the place where we could store our luggage and borrow a shower also operates as a guesthouse, which had a great atmosphere. I would like to stay there next time I visit.
33度超えでとても暑い日でしたが西表島ならではの植物や木々の中のカヌーは楽しく、ピサナーラ滝は予想以上で日本とは思えない感じでした。洞窟も良い意味で自然そのままなので、くらく狭いですが、それがまた非日常でよかった!ただこのツアーの写真のような光が差す場所はなかったような…
滝までのトレッキングは30分くらいですがまあまあハードです。日焼け防止と植物に触れたりするので夏でも長袖スパッツをお勧めします。
洞窟や鍾乳洞好きな方にはこのツアーはとてもオススメです。
ツアーのガイドさんはとても若い女性の方でしたが一生懸命で好感がもてました。荷物を預けたりシャワーを借りたこちらはゲストハウスもやってらっしゃるようでとても雰囲気がよく、次回はこちらに泊まりでまた来たいと思います。

It was just after the rainy season, and the sea was very clear with vibrant coral. I even got to see a large sea turtle, and I was extremely satisfied!!

I originally booked a one-day tour, but due to my mistake, I realized I wouldn't make it in time for the boat after the tour, so I urgently changed to a half-day tour the day before. It was during the rainy season, and the forecast was cloudy with occasional rain, so I gave up on snorkeling and opted for a tour that included only trekking and canoeing.
I was picked up from the Paina Maya Hotel at 9:30 and arrived at Monsoon about 30 minutes later. It was a nice viewpoint with a view of the sea beyond the forest, and there were two horses while we waited for the other guests to arrive. Once everyone was gathered, we moved by car to the canoe launch site.
We boarded the canoe aiming for the Pinaisara Falls, progressing through the mangroves. The weather was cloudy and the temperature was just right, and we arrived at the canoe drop-off point in about 30 minutes. From there, we aimed for the waterfall basin on foot. We climbed for about 30 minutes through a muddy jungle, navigating rocky areas and many roots, until we reached the waterfall basin. The water splashes felt refreshing, and the height of 50 meters was impressive. Here, we had some free time to eat the lunch that the staff brought and take photos. After about an hour, we returned the same way.
◎ Staff
Most of the staff were in their 20s, very friendly, and helped create a lively atmosphere.
◎ Other guests
There was a group of 10 people and two solo female travelers. I got along well with the solo travel group.
◎ Clothing
The canoe ride can get your pants quite wet. They provide shoes, hats, and waterproof bags for rent.
Thank you for accommodating the change in the tour content despite the short notice. Since it seems there are accommodations available, I would like to visit again for an overnight stay next time.
元々こちらの1日ツアーを申し込んでいましたが、私の手違いで、ツアー後乗る船に間に合わない事が発覚し、急遽前日に半日ツアーに変更して頂きました。ちょうど梅雨時で、曇り時々雨との予報だったので、シュノーケリングは諦め、トレッキング、カヌーのみのツアーに。
パイヌマヤホテルから9時半に送迎して頂き、30分程でモンスーンさんに到着。森の向こうに海の見える見晴らしのいい高台で、馬が2頭いて、ほかのお客さんが到着するまで少し待機。
みんな揃ったら車でカヌー乗り場まで移動。
ピナイサーラの滝を目指してカヌーに乗船。
マングローブの中を進みます。曇りで気温もちょうど良く、30分くらいでカヌー降り場に到着。
ここからトレッキングで滝壺を目指します。ぬかるんだジャングルの中、途中岩場や根っこが多い道を30分ほど登っていき、滝壺に到着。
水しぶきが気持ちよくて、50メートルの高さに圧感です。ここで、スタッフさんが持ってきてくれたお弁当を食べたり、写真とったりゆっくり自由時間。1時間ほどしてから元の道を帰りました。
◎スタッフさん
皆さん20代の若めの方が多く、とても気さくで盛り上げてくれました。
◎ほかのお客さん
10名の団体さん、一人旅女性2名
一人旅グループさんと仲良くさせていただきました。
◎服装
カヌーで結構ズボンが濡れます。
靴、帽子、防水バッグは貸し出ししてくれます。
今回は、急だったにも関わらず、ツアーの内容を変更して頂きありがとうございました。
宿泊施設もあるようなので、今度は泊まりで訪れたいと思います。

Whenever I see a jungle exploration program on TV, I often think that I would like to go someday.
Nature spreads out before me, and we walk along paths that have no trails. We become familiar with the island while learning about the names and origins of wild animals and trees.
On this trip to Barasu Island and Pinai Sara Falls, I was able to experience such a grand adventure, almost untouched by human hands.
The guide carefully explained the local flora and fauna, and by learning about the island's formation, I was able to enjoy Iriomote Island even more.
Thank you for serving warm tea at the waterfall basin and providing brown sugar on the boat whenever we wanted it.
The kayak journey through the mangrove forest to Pinai Sara Falls is sure to leave you in awe as you encounter the scenery transitioning from narrow tributaries to wide river expanses.
If I catch Iriomote fever, I will fly back from Tokyo again.
テレビでジャングル探検番組があると、いつか行ってみたいなぁと思うことがしばしばありました。
目の前に自然が広がり、自分たちの足で道無き道を歩いていく。そして、野生の動物や木々の名前や由来を聞きながら島に親しむ。
今回のバラス島とピナイサーラの滝では、ほとんど人の手が加えられていない、そんな大冒険を味わうことができました。
ガイドの方は地元の動植物を丁寧に解説してくれて、島の成り立ちを知ることで、より一層西表島が楽しめます。
滝壺では暖かいお茶を出してくれたり、船の上でも黒糖を欲しい時に提供していただき、ありがとうございます。
ピナイサーラの滝までのマングローブ林のなかを進むカヤックは、細い支流から大きくひらけた川幅に差し掛かるその景色に大感動すること間違いなし。
西表病に罹ったらまた東京から飛んできます。

ほとんど曇りで雨の日でしたが、ジャングルとその天気はとても良い組み合わせだと思います。マングローブ川でのカヤックはとても楽しくてリラックスできましたし、滝も素晴らしかったですし、洞窟は雨の中の冒険のようでした。とても楽しい体験をしました。強くお勧めします!
It was mostly cloudy and rainy day, but I think the jungle and that weather are quite a good match. Kayaking on the mangrove river was so fun and calming, the waterfall was great, and the cave was like an adventure in the rain. Such fun experience I had. Highly recommended!

We progressed through the mangroves by canoe and then trekked to Pinai Sara Falls. Along the way, they provided explanations about the flora and fauna and took photos at various points. They even used a 360-degree camera, which was quite innovative. After enjoying handmade Yaeyama soba for lunch, we took a boat to Barasu Island, where we also took commemorative photos. After that, we snorkeled at a snorkeling point for as long as we wanted until time was up. The sea around Iriomote was beautifully adorned with coral, resembling a flower garden, and we even encountered sea turtles, which was incredibly fun.
マングローブをカヌーで進み、途中からトレッキングでピナイサーラの滝へ。
道中、動植物の解説を交えながら、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくれます。
360度撮れるカメラでも撮ってくれて、なかなか工夫がされています。
ご主人手作りの八重山そばでランチをした後は、バラス島まで船で行き、そこでも記念撮影。
後は、シュノーケリングポイントで時間が来るまで好きなだけシュノーケリング。西表の海はサンゴがお花畑のように美しくて、海ガメとも遭遇できてとっても楽しかったです。
Thank you very much. If you have the opportunity, please come again.
ありがとうございました。機会あればまたぜひお越し下さい。
