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 three-generation participation. I was worried about my 6-year-old grandchild, but they charged ahead, and the grandparents were the ones struggling to keep up. It was my first experience with canoeing, but somehow I managed. When we fell into the waterfall pool, I was drenched in sweat, but it felt amazing. Even in my 60s, I was fine. Surrounded by nature, I forgot about the daily rush and enjoyed the sounds of water and cicadas. Thank you to the instructor for being kind and interacting with my 6-year-old grandchild. This was an activity I would definitely recommend when visiting Iriomote Island.
三世代での参加でした
6歳の孫が心配だしたがガンガン進んでじじばばの方がついて行くのに必死でした
カヌーは初体験でしたがなんとか
滝壺には入った時は汗だくだったので凄く気持ちよかったです
60代でも大丈でした
自然がいっぱいで時間に追われる日常を忘れて水の音や蝉の声何聞こえて自然満喫できました

Due to the conditions of the waves the day before, we were informed that it was possible to change to a half-day canoe and trekking tour (7,000 yen per person). After considering it, I got back to them. When I followed up, I was told that caving was also available, so I requested that tour, but there was no explanation about the pricing at that time, and after the tour, I was charged 12,000 yen per person. I had the understanding that it would be around 7,000 yen, so I would have appreciated a clear explanation if there was a change in the price.
Additionally, after being informed that we could not land on Barasu Island, I booked another tour company, and we were able to land on Barasu Island and go snorkeling.
The introduction to the creatures during the cave exploration and canoeing, as well as the information about Iriomote Island, was very interesting and enjoyable. However, on the day of the tour, there were many people, and I was unsure where to wait for photos in narrow spaces. While taking pictures as we progressed in the canoe, there were times when we got stuck and were bumped from behind, so I would have liked clearer instructions and guidance. I was told that the hotel pick-up time was 16:30, but we actually arrived around 17:15.
We waited for the shower for the same group going to the port, and after being taken to the port, we were then taken back to the hotel. Since I had other plans afterward, I would have appreciated it if the staff, who were numerous at the office, could have taken that into consideration in case of significant changes.
前日に波等の関係でバラス島へ上陸できない為、半日のカヌー&トレッキングツアー(1人7,000円)の変更は可能とのご連絡があり、一度検討し折り返しをいたしました。
折り返しした際、ケイビングもできるとのお話でそちらのツアーをお願いしましたがその際料金についての説明はなく、ツアー後1人12,000円を請求されました。7,000円程度実施できるとの認識だった為、料金変更が場合はしっかり説明頂きたかったです。
また、バラス島上陸できない旨の連絡があった後別のツアー会社を予約したところしバラス島への上陸、シュノーケリングの実施ができました。
洞窟探検、カヌー時に生き物の紹介や西表島の紹介をして頂けた点はとても面白く楽しかったですが、当日のツアーも人数が多く、狭い場所での写真撮影はどこで待ってたら良いのか、カヌーで進みながら写真を撮る際にに後ろがつっかえて後ろから突っ込まれたりとしたのでしっかり指示、案内をして頂きたかったのと、ホテル送迎時刻を16:30と伝えられていたが実際到着したのは17:15頃でした。
同じグループの港行きのシャワーを待ち、港に送迎後ホテルに送迎され、
その後の予定もあったので大幅に変更になる際は事務所に多数のスタッフもいた為、ご配慮頂けたら嬉しかったです。

The mangroves and snorkeling were both breathtaking. The emerald-colored sea, the colorful coral reefs, and the mysterious mangroves created a scene that felt like something out of a travel guidebook. Our guide, Matsuko, provided clear explanations, and even though it was my first time kayaking and snorkeling, I was able to enjoy it as a beginner. The guide was very kind, ensuring that we could safely enjoy the marine sports. I was also very happy that they took photos and sent the data to us. Thank you very much.
マングローブも、シュノーケリングも絶景でした。
エメラルド色の海ら色とりどりのサンゴ礁、神秘的なマングローブ、観光ガイド本でしか見たことのないような、光景がそこには広がっていました。

Originally, I had signed up for the SUP @ Mangrove and snorkeling tour at Barasu Island, but due to poor conditions around Barasu Island, I received an inquiry the day before asking, "Would you like to cancel? Or switch to another tour?" Since I was already there, I decided to book the trekking and SUP @ Mangrove tour, and that turned out to be a great decision! The instructor, Matsuko, had only been there for a few months, but she was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island. She shared many interesting tidbits during our travel, including stories about the road construction that was halted and a simulator game at the wildcat museum.
After arriving, we all moved to the point with a simple mountain climb. Along the way, she introduced us to the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island. Coincidentally, there were four couples participating, including my husband and me: a couple who were masters of remote islands, a chatty couple from Kansai (Shikoku), and a calm yet friendly couple. Everyone was very approachable, and we became close through activities like diving. My usually quiet husband seemed to have a lot of fun, adding his own flair during the dives and really enjoying himself. At the end of the activities, the remote island master couple recommended a dining spot, which we promptly visited. The other couples also enjoyed hearing stories about different remote islands from them. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories, instructor Matsuko, and to all the couples! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Oh, and about the clothing: I thought I would be wearing a wetsuit over my swimsuit, so I wore my swimsuit, but the equipment provided included only a helmet, shoes, and a jacket. Everyone else was dressed in T-shirts or rash guards over their swimsuits, and shorts or leggings. I didn't have those, so I ended up wearing pajamas (short-sleeved & relaxed fit) over my swimsuit, which felt quite silly and embarrassing, especially since it would be captured in photos (though it could make for a funny story). I think it would be wise to consider your outfit if you participate!
もともと、SUP@マングローブとバラス島上陸のシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでいましたが、バラス島周辺のコンディションが悪く、「キャンセルしますか?別のツアーにしますか?」の問い合わせが前日にありました。折角なのでトレッキングとSUP@マングローブでツアーを申し込んだ所、それがもう大正解!インストラクターのマツコさんはまだ来て数ヶ月との事でしたが、西表島の事をよくご存知で、道路工事が途中で中断してしまった話や、ヤマネコの博物館(?)のシュミレーターゲームの話などなど、移動中に小ネタを沢山話してくれました。到着後、皆でポイントまで簡単な山登りをしながら移動。途中、西表島の動植物についても紹介してもらいました。たまたま参加していたメンバーが、私達夫婦を含めて4カップル。離島マスター夫婦、お喋り関西人夫婦(四国)、穏やかだけど気さくに話せる夫婦、とメンバーも皆親しみやすく、飛び込みを始めとしたアクティビティを通じて仲良くなりました。普段寡黙な主人も相当楽しかったようで、飛び込み時にアレンジを加えたり、凄く楽しんでいました。アクティビティ終わりには離島マスター夫婦からおススメの食事処を教えてもらい、早速訪ねてみました。他の夫婦達も離島マスター夫婦から別の離島の話を聞いたりして楽しんでました。本当に最高の思い出をありがとうございました、インストラクターのマツコさん、それぞれの夫婦の皆さま!残りの旅を楽しんでください!
そうだ、あとは、服装ですが、私は水着の上からウェットスーツを着用すると思ったので、水着を着て行ったのですが、装備として渡されるのは、ヘルメットとシューズとジャケットのみなので、皆は水着の上にTシャツやラッシュガード、下はスパッツにハーパンのような格好でした。私はそれらの用意がなかったので、水着の上からパジャマ(半袖&リラコ)を着用して臨みましたが、大分ダサくて恥ずかしかったですし笑、写真にも残ってしまうので(ネタにはなりますが笑)ご参加される際は、格好を考えたほうがいいかもなって思いました。

We participated with two elementary school children, making a group of four. It was our first experience with canoeing, but we enjoyed it thanks to the guide's lecture! We were able to go to places that the sightseeing boat couldn't reach, and we really enjoyed observing the mangroves up close. It seems that depending on the tide, we might not be able to go far in, but we could see rare creatures, and since even the kids could paddle, I think it's great for families too.
小学生2人の子供と4人で参加しました。カヌーは初体験でしたが、ガイドさんのレクチャーもあり楽しめました!遊覧船では入れないとこまで行けるし、間近でマングローブを観察出来て本当に楽しめました。潮の時間によっては奥まで行けないこともあるらしいですが、珍しい生物も見れるし子供でも漕げたのでファミリーにも良いと思います。

I was worried about my physical stamina as I entered my 50s, but in the end, I was able to keep up without any problems.
The guide was experienced and made the trekking and canoeing enjoyable by sharing stories about the nature of Iriomote Island.
At the beginning of the canoeing, they taught us how to operate the canoe, and once we were on it, it felt manageable.
Along the way, they provided detailed instructions about shallow areas and obstacles, so I was able to paddle with confidence.
During the trekking, they also informed us about slightly dangerous spots in advance, and they allowed the least fit person to lead, which made it easy to enjoy the experience. They took photos at key moments, so we created wonderful memories as a family.
I think this is a great tour for experiencing the nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you, guide!
50代に入り体力的に心配でしたが、終わってみて、問題なくついていくことができました。
ガイドの方は経験豊富で西表島の自然についてお話を交えながらトレッキングやカヌーを楽しませて下さいました。
カヌーの始めに操作の仕方を教えて下さいますし、乗った後は感覚的に何とかなるものでした。
途中も浅いところ、障害物があるところなど、細かく教えて下さるので、安心して漕ぐことが出来ました。
トレッキング中も少し危ないところなどは予め教えて下さいますし、一番体力のない人を先頭に進み、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。要所要所で写真も撮っていただいたので、家族揃って、とても良い思い出が出来ました。
西表島の自然を体感するのにとても良いツアーだと思います。ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

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。
Thank you for using our service. I think it can be quite tough for those who don't walk regularly. The heat in Okinawa must have made it even more challenging. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to working with you again. Thank you.
この度は、ご利用いただきましてありがとうございました。日頃歩かれない方には、かなりきついと思います。沖縄の暑さもあって大変だったと思います。

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)

It was our first time on Iriomote Island with our family of five (with a 9th grader, a 7th grader, and a 4th grader). I was a bit nervous about what to expect, but both the trekking and canoeing were just right for beginners, and we all had a great time. They provided us with hats, bags that could get dirty, and waterproof bags, which was very helpful for our family, as we were all beginners.
We swam in the waterfall pool, and the kids wanted to wear goggles (I think I'll bring goggles next time). Additionally, we received photos via LINE at the end, which became wonderful memories. We were also able to rent a shower and bath towels for an extra fee, so we could clean up before heading back to port.
We're already talking about wanting to go again on our next trip! Thank you for everything!!

帽子、汚れても良いバッグ、防水袋も貸して頂き、全てが初心者だった我が家には、とても有り難かったです。
滝壺で、泳いだのですが、子供らはゴーグルを付けたがってました。(次回はゴーグルを持って行こうと思います。)
また、最後に写真もLINEで頂けたので、思い出になりました。
別料金で、シャワーと、バスタオルを貸してもらえたので、綺麗にしてから帰港できました。
次回の旅行の時も行きたいね!と話しています。
お世話になりました!!

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!
Thank you for participating in the Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. We look forward to seeing you again if the opportunity arises. Thank you!
この度は、マングローブナイトカヤックツアーに参加頂きありがとうございました。また機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。ありがとうございました。

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。

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!
