All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

In a word, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I came. First of all, we were blessed with great weather, and the trekking went smoothly. There were some steeper and more challenging parts than I expected, but I was able to push through to the end thanks to the two guides and the other participants in the tour, who made it enjoyable. Soaking in the waterfall pool felt amazing! I definitely recommend this experience to everyone else. Thank you!

一言で言うととても楽しく来てよかった、と言う感じです。まずとてもお天気に恵まれ、トレッキングも順調に進みました。思ったより急で険しい所もあり大変でしたが、ガイドさん二人と同ツアー参加の方と楽しく頑張れたので最後までやり抜けれました。
滝壷での水浸かりはとても気持ちよかったです！ぜひ他の皆様にも体験をおすすめします。
ありがとうございました。

I had a great time. If you're going to Iriomote Island, you should definitely do this. However, since there are various tour options available, I recommend considering others as well before making a choice.

Regarding lunch, on other tours, people were enjoying delicious bento boxes or Okinawa soba made by the guides right in front of the waterfall. In this tour, lunch was scheduled after returning home. Personally, I found that to be quite disappointing.

非常に楽しかった。西表島行くならやるべし。
ただ色々なツアーの選択肢があるので他とも検討して選ぶのがおすすめ。

昼ごはんに関して、
他のツアーでは滝を目の前にして、美味しそうな弁当やガイドさんが作った沖縄そば食べていた。
ここのツアーは帰宅してから昼ごはんという流れだった。
私的にはそれが非常に残念だと思いましたり

In mid-May, I participated with my 4-year-old daughter and my husband, making it a family of three. At first, I was a bit worried about whether we could do canoeing and trekking with a small child, but the guide kindly adjusted to my daughter's pace throughout the trip, and the other tour participants were also very considerate of her, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My daughter was so excited to walk through the forest and touch the river water all by herself!

The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many interesting and easy-to-understand stories about the insects we encountered along the way and the nature of Iriomote Island. Even the adults were captivated, making it a fantastic learning and adventure time that was more than just walking.

Additionally, I can't forget the freshly made hot Yaeyama soba that the guide cooked right in front of us using a burner, seasoned with kochujang! The natural setting, the soothing sound of the river, and the delicious broth that soaked into our bodies after the hike were truly exceptional, and our whole family finished it all in no time.

5月中旬に、4歳の娘と夫婦の家族3人で参加しました。
最初は小さな子供連れでカヌーやトレッキングができるか少し不安もありましたが、ガイドの方が終始娘のペースに合わせて優しくリードしてくださり、ご一緒になった他のツアー客の方も、娘のことを親切に気にしてくださり、終始安心して楽しむことができました。娘も自分で一生懸命森の中を歩き、川の水に触れて大はしゃぎでした！
ガイドさんはとても知識が豊富な方で、道中に出会う虫のことや西表島の自然について、フランクでありながらとても分かりやすく興味深いお話をたくさんしてくれました。大人もぐいぐい引き込まれ、ただ歩くだけではない最高の学びと冒険の時間になりました。
また、ランチで川のすぐ目の前でガイドさんがバーナーを使って作ってくださった、出来立て熱々の八重山そばにコーレーグースを入れた味が忘れられません！大自然のロケーション、心地よい川のせせらぎ、そして歩いた後の体に染み渡るお出汁の美味しさは本当に格別で、家族みんなでペロリと完食してしまいました。

Yesterday’s canoeing trip was excellent from start to finish. We were met at the port exactly as promised and introduced to our guide, Ryoma. His English was excellent, and he explained everything clearly, making us feel very welcome.

Once we arrived, we got into our canoes and headed down the river. Ryoma was very informative about the local wildlife and nature, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a great time canoeing along the river, and the weather was perfect — sunny with a light breeze.

At the end of the trip, we were taken to shower facilities before being dropped back at the port, which was very convenient. Ryoma also sent us the photos he had taken during the trip, and they were all really high quality.

Overall, the whole experience was perfect and exactly what we had hoped for. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it.

I was able to see both the mangroves and the sunset, and it was relaxing, calm, and enjoyable! Thank you very much.

マングローブもサンセットも見れて
のんびりゆったりおだやかで楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました。

The guide listened to our wishes attentively, and we were able to fully enjoy the mangroves we love! We also encountered many unique creatures from Iriomote Island, such as the heron and the kingfisher, and the explanations about the island's nature were very interesting. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

ガイドさんが丁寧に希望を聞いてくださり、大好きなマングローブを満喫できました！
ヘラサギやアカショウビンなど、西表島ならではの生き物にもたくさん会えましたし、島の自然についてのご説明もとっても面白かったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございます！

Since it was prohibited to go without a guide starting last March, I had no choice but to participate, but both the canoeing and trekking, as well as the power of the waterfall and our guide, Eri, were all amazing. As a result, I thought the tour wasn't so bad after all.

昨年の3月からガイド無しで行く事が禁止されたので仕方無く参加したのですがカヌーもトレッキングも滝の迫力もガイドのエリさんも最高でした。
結果、ツアーも悪くないなあと思いました。

It was cloudy, but it was actually good for my stamina. Canoeing was a first-time experience for me, and while I thought the trekking distance afterward wasn't long, I had to be careful navigating over the tangled tree roots and around the boulders while going up and down. I was the oldest in the group at 71 years old, but I was surprised to see elementary school kids playing at the base of the Pinai Waterfall when we arrived. The ferry from Ishigaki was canceled at Uehara Port, so we arrived by shuttle bus from Ohara Port, but the Iriomote Island Monsoon team provided safe transportation for us. The guide took photos at various points, including the canoeing spots and the waterfall. This was my second visit to Iriomote Island, but this time I truly felt the essence of the island. It was great. I felt pleasantly tired. Thank you very much.

曇天でしたが反って体力的には良かったです。カヌーは初めての経験で、その後のトレッキングの距離は長くは無いと思いましたが、張り巡らされた木の根を跨いで巨石を迂回しての上り下りに神経を使いました。この７人グループの最高齢は私７１才でしたが到着したピナイサーラの滝下で小学生が遊んでいたことにびっくりしました。石垣からのフェリーは上原港が欠航で大原港から連絡バスでの到着でしたが、西表島モンスーンさんは無事に送迎してくれました。写真もカヌーのポイント、滝のポイントなどでガイドさんに撮っていただきました。西表島は２回目でしたが。今回は改めて西表島を実感しました。良かったです。心地よい疲れでした。ありがとうございました。

We had a great afternoon during the canoe tour in the mangroves. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the mangrove ecosystem. The excursion was well organized, relaxing, and very enjoyable. We definitely recommend it!

I was really satisfied with the mangrove canoeing experience, just as I had imagined. They were considerate about taking photos so that not many other people were in them, and I have done quite a few activities, but I really enjoyed this one!

思い描いていた通りのマングローブカヌーができてすごく満足です。写真も他の人があまり映らないように配慮いただいたり、アクティビティは結構してきましたがとても楽しめました！

I had a great time seeing trees I had never seen before on Iriomote Island, as well as the Ton-ton-mi and crabs. The guide found and shared various things with us.

The canoeing was easy, with hardly any current, making it suitable for beginners. The excitement of seeing the waterfall is something I think you can't experience often. It's also rare to be able to jump into the waterfall pool. My husband and I, in our late 50s, took the plunge! It was refreshing!

If you're participating, please make sure to wear a swimsuit. Even if you don't jump in, I think you'll definitely want to after seeing it.

Along the way, the guide took a lot of photos for us. Overall, during our 3-night, 4-day trip to Ishigaki Island, going to Iriomote Island was the most enjoyable part.

西表島の見たことのない木や、トントンミーやカニが見れてとても楽しかったです。ガイドの方がいろいろ見つけて教えてくれました。
カヌーは流れがほとんどなくて初心者でも大丈夫でした。滝を見た時の感動はなかなか味わえないと思います。
滝つぼに入ることもなかなかできないと思います。50代後半の夫婦ですが、思い切って飛び込みました！爽快でした！
参加される方は是非水着を着て行ってください。
飛び込まなくても、見たら絶対入りたくなると思います。
道中、ガイドの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。
今回、石垣島に3泊4日の旅行で、西表島に行ったことが一番楽しかったです。

I was a little worried that climbing might be tough, but I followed the guide and arrived safely. The stories along the way were enjoyable, and it felt like no time had passed.

登るのがきついかな…と少し心配はしましたが、ガイドさんに付いていき、無事 到着。
途中のお話も楽しくて、あっという間でした。

This was my second canoe experience on Iriomote Island, and it far surpassed my previous one, providing an amazing time. Canoeing while gazing at the majestic nature of the Pinai Sara Falls in the distance, experiencing the waterfall basin, and enjoying a warm lunch were all highlights.

The most luxurious moment, in my opinion, was when we leisurely walked on the sandy areas inhabited by mangroves during low tide. I believe the staff member, Eri, adjusted our time at the waterfall basin to bring us there.

I’m truly grateful for the many photos taken while paddling the canoe and checking on the participants. These were moments we couldn't capture ourselves. Even though it was only half a day, the experience was more than sufficient.

After returning to the hotel, we enjoyed relaxing on the beach and by the pool, making it a highly recommended plan that allowed us to spend our day without over-scheduling.

西表島でのカヌー体験は2度目でしたが前回をはるかに上回る素晴らい時間を過ごしました。
遠くに流れ落ちるピナイサーラの雄大な自然を眺めながらのカヌー時間、滝つぼでの体験、あったかいランチ。
そして一番の贅沢な時間だったなと思えるのが、干潮時で潮が引いていたのでマングローブが生息している砂場をゆったり歩いて過ごした時間。
きっとスタッフのエリさんが滝つぼで過ごす時間を調整してまで連れてきてくださったのだと思います。
又ご自分でカヌーを漕ぎながら、参加者の様子も確認しながらの中、たくさんの写真を撮っていただいて本当に感謝です。自分たちでは撮れない場面ばかりですから。
半日といえど充分すぎる内容でした。
ホテルへ戻ってからはのんびりビーチやプールで遊んだり自分達らしい詰め込み過ぎない日程で過ごす事ができるのとてもおすすめのプランです。

A full day packed with canoeing, waterfall pools, and snorkeling. Many ocean tours have age restrictions, making it difficult for seniors to find suitable options (though I believe seniors who want to participate in activities are quite energetic…). However, on this tour, the guide was very considerate, and I had a wonderful time. The snorkeling spots were incredibly beautiful. I did swallow some water and panicked a bit, but I received proper assistance, so thank you very much for that. For seniors who have given up due to age restrictions, you can definitely enjoy this tour, so please participate. I highly recommend it!

カヌー、滝壺、シュノーケリングと1日で盛りだくさん。海のツアーは特に年齢制限がある物が多く、高齢者は参加可能ツアーを探すのが大変ですが(アクティビティをしたい高齢者は元気と思うのですが…)こちらのツアーはガイドの方が気を使って頂き大変楽しく過ごしました
シュノーケルの海も最高に綺麗です。
水を呑んでしまって少しパニクリましたが適切に補助して頂き本当にありがとうございました。
年齢制限で諦めた高齢者の方、十分楽しめますので参加して下さい。お勧めですよ。

I took a boat from Ishigaki Port at 11 AM and arrived at Iriomote Island at noon. After dropping off my luggage at the hotel, I signed up for a tour to make the most of the three hours before check-in.

The half-day course started at 1 PM and lasted about three hours, which was a lot of fun.

The guide was very thorough in their explanations, making it easy for beginners to enjoy the experience without worry. This is a recommended tour that I think everyone should try when visiting Iriomote Island.

It was an activity that I could enjoy even alone.

Thank you, Takahashi-san, for being a great guide!

11時石垣港発の船で12時に西表島に到着し、滞在先のホテルに荷物を預けて、チェックインまでの3時間を有効活用しようとツアーに申し込みました。
13時スタート半日コースで約3時間楽しめました。

ガイドの方の説明もとても丁寧で、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。
西表島に来たらぜひ体験してほしい、おすすめのツアーです。

1人でも十分楽しめるアクティビティでした。

ガイドの高橋さんありがとうございました。

From the very first meeting, the smiles of the staff welcomed us, putting the participants at ease. We were able to enjoy canoeing on the water while being complimented on our skills, which made the experience even more enjoyable. During the mountain trek, the staff communicated about difficult and dangerous areas in a way that allowed participants to share and feel a sense of unity. Thanks to this, everyone was able to have fun playing in the water at the destination's waterfall. On the way back, we were able to observe the unique flora and fauna of Iriomote Island at just the right moments, thanks to the guidance provided. I also appreciate the care shown towards our group, which was the most vulnerable during the journey.

初対面からスタッフ皆さんの笑顔での出迎えで参加者の心が和みました。
水面でそカヌー操作でも上手く褒められつつ楽しく前に進めることが出来ました。
山行でも難しいところ危険なところを伝言形式で伝え参加者が共有でき一体感をつくる気遣いを感じました。
おかげさまで目的地の滝つぼでは水遊び等皆が楽しむことが出来ました。
帰路では西表島固有のの動植物が見かけられるタイミングでお伝え戴き観察することが出来ました。
また道中一番危なっかしい当方グループに気を遣って戴き感謝します。

My friend and I participated in a mangrove canoeing and trekking tour to Pinai Sara Falls. Although I was a beginner at canoeing, the instructions were very thorough and easy to understand, and I quickly became skilled at paddling. We navigated a river lined with mangroves while enjoying the view of the mountains and sky ahead, fully immersing ourselves in the extraordinary natural surroundings. The trekking to the falls was also well-guided, with timely tips on how to walk on the rocky slopes, which made me feel safe while walking. Along the way, we were accurately informed about the presence of unique lizards, turtles, and Japanese white-eyes, making it an experience that went beyond just trekking. The rice balls for lunch were also very delicious. Moreover, since we couldn't take many photos ourselves, we were grateful for the numerous pictures taken by our guide. The guide was bright, kind, knowledgeable, and trustworthy—a wonderful person. By the way, we are women in our late 60s. I can confidently recommend this tour to anyone.

マングローブカヌーとピナイサーラの滝までのトレッキングツアーに友人と2人で参加しました。カヌー初心者でしたが、とても丁寧にわかりやすく指導してくださり、すぐに上手に漕げるようになりました。マングローブが両側に生えた川を、前方の山や空を見ながら進み、非日常の大自然を満喫しました。滝までのトレッキングも、岩が多い坂を歩くコツなどをタイミングよく教えてくださり、安心して歩くことができました。途中も、珍しいトカゲや亀、メジロなどがいると的確に教えてくださり、ただのトレッキング以上の体験でした。ランチのおにぎりもとてもおいしかったです。しかも、自分たちではなかなか写真が撮れなかったので、撮っていただいたたくさんの写真がありがたかったです。ガイドさんは、明るく、優しく、情報豊富で、信頼できる素晴らしい方でした。ちなみに、私たちは60代後半の女性です。どんな方にもこのツアーを自信を持ってお勧めできます。

The staff were very attentive and it was a great help. At first, it was raining heavily and I was worried about the weather, but by the time we arrived by canoe, the sun had come out, and we were able to enjoy the wild nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you very much.

スタッフの方がとても気が利く方でとても助かりました。最初は雨が激しく降りお天気が心配でしたが、カヌーで着く頃は太陽も姿を見せてくれて、西表島のワイルドな自然を楽しむことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

I thought we would be canoeing, seeing waterfalls, and exploring caves, but it was so much more! The guide's knowledge was overflowing, and the kids received such great stimulation. They became interested in nature and living creatures, and we even bought a guidebook about Iriomote Island. We participated with our 7 and 10-year-old children, and we all had a fantastic time.

カヌーなって滝みて洞窟探検するって思っていたけれど、もぉそれ以上です！ガイドさんの知識が溢れてて、子供達がとてもいい刺激を受けました。自然、生き物に興味を持ち西表島図鑑買いました。7歳10歳の子供と参加でしたが、とっても楽しめました。

In addition to the popular canoeing and waterfalls, we also explored a limestone cave. From the entrance, I felt a thrill of excitement as I thought, "Am I really going in here?" As we made our way through the cave along the flowing water, there were beautiful spots where light streamed in, providing a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere. Including places like the Pinai Sara Falls, our guide shared various insights and was very friendly, making it a wonderful tour!

メジャーなカヌー・滝に加え鍾乳洞も探検しました。入り口から、ここに入るのか！という感じでワクワクし、水の流れに沿って鍾乳洞を抜けていくと差し込む光が美しい場所もあり、なかなか他ではできない体験を味わえました。
ピナイサーラの滝なども含めて、ガイドさんも様々なことを教えてくれ、人当たりもよく素敵なツアーになりました！

The weather is up to chance, so there's nothing we can do about it.
The magnificent scenery and mangroves were beautiful.
The kayaking experience was fun.
There are fewer photos.
The sense of style is a bit questionable.
🔰 Keep it up, Ryoma-kun!

天気は運次第だから仕方ない
雄大な景色、マングローブ
カヤック体験は楽しかった
写真少なめ
センス微妙
🔰リョーマくん頑張って！

Since it was the change of seasons, I wasn't expecting much, but the weather was so nice that I thought the sea would look beautiful! So, I made a reservation the day before. In the morning, we went canoeing on the Urauchi River, and in the afternoon, we did snorkeling at Barasu and another spot. The snorkeling had an unbelievably high level of clarity, and we were able to see clownfish, butterflyfish, and many other types of fish. Our guide in the morning was Teru, and in the afternoon, it was Kengo. Both guides were very knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel safe. When I expressed my lack of confidence in swimming, they took various considerations into account, which allowed us to fully enjoy both the morning and afternoon activities.

Both of them had a deep love for Iriomote Island and shared many interesting things with us, including the beauty and enjoyment of rainy days. I highly recommend this tour for those visiting Iriomote Island for the first time! Make sure to experience this tour at the beginning of your stay on Iriomote Island. You will definitely fall in love with Iriomote Island!

季節の変わり目なので期待していなかったのですが、あまりに天気が良いので、海が綺麗そう！と思い前日に予約しました。午前中は浦内川でのカヌー、午後はバラスともう一つ別のポイントでのシュノーケリングです。シュノーケリングは信じられないほど透明度が高くクマノミ、チョウチョウウオ、その他沢山の魚を見る事ができました。午前のガイドはテルさん、午後のガイドはケンゴさんでした。どちらのガイドさんも視野が広く、親切で安心です。泳力に自信が無い事を伝えると色々と配慮してくれました。おかけで午前も午後も満喫できました。
お二人共、西表島愛があり色々な事を教えてくれました。
雨の日の美しさ、楽しみなども。
西表島初めての方にはこちらのツアーお勧めです！西表島に泊まって最初にこのツアーを体験してください。西表島が大好きになること間違い無しです！

I booked a day trip from Ishigaki Island. They provided clear and detailed communication regarding the cancellation of the ferry to Uehara Port and any changes. They also shared fun stories about Iriomote Island, making it a wonderful memory! Thank you!

石垣島から日帰りで申し込みました。
上原港行きのフェリーが欠航になった連絡や変更等を細かく分かりやすく連絡頂いたり
西表島の事を楽しくお話ししてくれて
最高の思い出になりました！
ありがとうございます

It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!

The distance for kayaking round trip was just long enough, allowing us to get accustomed to the paddling while enjoying the scenery and listening to our guide's stories at a leisurely pace. The hiking time was just right, and we could really feel a sense of accomplishment when we reached the waterfall! The rice balls at the base of the waterfall were the best (the way they were shaped and the saltiness were perfect!).

The cave exploration was filled with new experiences that left me in awe. When I think about the birth and growth of the limestone caves, I am overwhelmed by the vastness, depth, and length of the natural wonders of Iriomote Island. It was a tour that made me wish it wouldn't end; I wanted more!

大満足のツアーでした！
往復でカヤックを漕ぐ距離もほどほどに長く、操作に慣れて、景色を楽しんだりガイドさんの話をゆっくり聞いたりすることもできました。ハイキングの時間も丁度よく、滝に着いたときの達成感も味わえます！
滝壺でのおにぎりも最高！（にぎり方と塩加減がよい！）

洞窟探検は初めてのことづくしで、感動の連続でした。
鍾乳洞の誕生と成長を考えたとき、西表島の自然の大きさ、深さ、長さに圧倒されます。
どちらも終わってしまうのが辛い、もっと！と思えるツアーです。

I participated in a trekking tour to Pinaisara Falls. Our guide, Hoshi, provided detailed information about the nature and flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, allowing us to have a fulfilling experience beyond just aiming for the waterfall! Thanks to Hoshi's friendly personality, I felt relaxed as if we had known each other for a long time, and I had a great time!!

Later, when I enjoyed various vegetable tempuras at an izakaya in the evening, I was able to savor each dish while recalling the characteristics that Hoshi had taught us, making the trip even more enriching. This is a wonderful tour that allows you to learn more deeply about Iriomote Island. I would love to request this tour again when I visit the island next time.

Mi-fai-yu!

ピナイサーラの滝へのトレッキングツアーに参加しました。
ガイドのほしさんが西表島の自然や動植物について詳しく教えてくださり、単に滝を目指す以上の充実した時間を過ごすことができました！星さんの気さくなお人柄のおかげで、まるでずっと前からの知り合いだったかのようにリラックスできて、とても楽しかったです！！
また夜に居酒屋で様々な植物の天ぷらを食べた際も、星さんに教えていただいたそれぞれの特徴を思い出しながら味わうことができ、より一層充実した旅になりました。
西表島をより深く知ることができる素晴らしいツアーです。また島を訪れる際はこちらにお願いしたいと思います。
みーふぁいゆー！

I was guided by Yume, and I was able to spend a special time unique to Iriomote Island.

It was my first canoe experience, but thanks to her bright and kind support, I felt at ease. The explanations about the mangroves were enjoyable, and I was moved to be taken to some wonderful hidden spots.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but since there was no direct sunlight, it was actually comfortable and nice. It became a wonderful memory; thank you very much!

ガイドのユメさんに案内していただき、西表島ならではの特別な時間を過ごせました。

初めてのカヌー体験でしたが、明るく優しいサポートのおかけで安心感がありました。
マングローブの解説も楽しく、とっておきの素敵なスポットまで連れていってもらえて感動しました。

天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、直射日光はなかったので逆に過ごしやすくて良かったです。
素敵な思い出になりました、ありがとうございました！

I participated on March 1st. The weather forecast unfortunately predicted rain, but it gradually cleared up, allowing us to experience the best tour. We enjoyed canoeing through the mangroves, trekking through the great outdoors to the waterfall, and the beautiful and dynamic Piñaisara Falls! The lunch we had at the base (rice balls and fried chicken) was fantastic. The guide was very friendly and provided detailed explanations at various points, making the entire tour truly enjoyable.

3/1に参加しました。天気予報はあいにくの雨予報でしたが、徐々に晴れて最高のツアーを経験できました。マングローブを楽しみながら進むカヌー、滝までの大自然を楽しみながら歩き進むトレッキング、そして美しくダイナミックなピナイサーラの滝！そのふもとで味わう昼食（おにぎり&唐揚げ）は最高でした。
ガイドさんはとてもフレンドリー、そしてポイントポイントでとても詳しく説明いただき、ツアー全体を通して本当に楽しく過ごすことができました。

It was an enjoyable tour from start to finish. The mangrove canoeing was stable, and even someone like me, who lacks physical strength, was able to ride it easily and observe the mangroves up close. Although it was a cloudy day with strong winds, the river was majestic, with gentle flows that allowed me to fully experience the great nature of Iriomote Island. I highly recommend canoeing!

Since you will get wet, I think it's best to participate in shorts or swimwear. You can change in the shower rooms. I was also happy that they took photos of us while canoeing and sent them to me later. If you bring your own smartphone, a waterproof case with a strap is essential!

On Yubu Island, I enjoyed the water buffalo, small beaches, delicious gelato, and butterflies... It was a peaceful time, and I was able to experience a different atmosphere from the wildness of Iriomote Island.

Although we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to bad weather this time, I thought it was great that Pipi offered various activities, allowing us to choose different options.

終始楽しいツアーでした。
マングローブカヌーは安定していて体力のない私でも簡単に乗れるようになりましたし、間近でマングローブを観察できました。曇りで強風の日でしたが、川の方は雄大で流れはあまり無くゆったりと西表島の大自然を感じることができたので、カヌー！オススメです。
濡れますので、服装は短パンや水着で参加されると良いと思います。着替えはシャワー個室でできます^ ^
カヌーに乗っている写真も撮っていただけて、後から送ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。もし自分のスマホを持つ場合防水ケースにストラップが必須です！
由布島も水牛や小さな浜辺に美味しいジェラートと蝶たち…穏やかな時間が流れていて西表島のワイルドさとはまた違った雰囲気を味わうことができ満喫しました♪
今回悪天候でバラス島に行けなかったのですが、pipiさんでは色々なアクティビティを実施されていて違うアクティビティを選ぶことができたことも大変良かったと思いました。

I had the pleasure of being guided by the Komachan team during the mangrove canoe tour, and it was a very fulfilling experience thanks to their bright and cheerful guidance! There was a change in the itinerary due to weather conditions the day before, but they provided detailed explanations and tips about the ferry, which made me feel that this tour company is very sincere overall.

The guides were very friendly and worked well together, and I found it fascinating to hear stories about life on the islands while we were on the bus. Additionally, I was able to spot a natural monument, the crested serpent eagle, thanks to their guidance. Thank you very much for this invaluable experience!

マングローブカヌーではコマちゃんチームでお世話になりましたが、明るく楽しく案内していただきとても充実したツアー体験でした!!前日に天候による内容変更がありましたが、そういった際も詳しい説明やフェリーの注意点なども教えていただき全体を通して大変誠実なツアー会社だと感じました。
ガイドの皆さんはとても仲が良くて、連携が取れていましたし、移動中のバスの中で島での生活の話などを聞きとても面白かったです。また、天然記念物のカンムリワシを発見して教えていただき目にすることができました。貴重な体験も含め本当にありがとうございました。

It was impressive.
Next time, I definitely want to participate with a SUP.
Thank you again.
Macchan, thank you for your warm hospitality.

迫力ありました。
今度はぜひSUPで参加したいです。
またよろしくお願いいたします。
まっちゃんさん、あたたかく対応していただきありがとうございました。
